Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 74 He's Not Kumbu

"Let's take a look first, I always think there is something strange here." Lao Yan frowned, then looked around: "Kumbu's blood is really gone!"

Miss Qiu laughed and said that there is only one way here, and it is estimated that there is no need to lead the way.

After she finished speaking, she wandered into the tomb passage, turning a blind eye to the bronze statue next to her, while Yazai and Lao Yan kept taking pictures with their cameras.

I walked among these bronze statues, and I just felt creepy. I had only heard about the Sanxingdui ruins, but I had never seen it with my own eyes, so I didn’t feel the same way I do now.

At first glance, these standing figures seem to be exactly the same, but when you look closely, they all have slight differences.Some wear masks, some hold spears in their hands, but there is only one thing——their eyes are slender and slender, but they are wide open. Every step you take, you feel that they are staring at you!
"Come here!" Miss Qiu, who was walking in the front, had already left us some distance away, when she suddenly shouted.

We hurried over, and saw a huge stone door at the end of the tomb passage, but the stone door had been opened, and the things inside were clearly presented in front of us—it was still a bronze statue, but the bronze statues here were all kinds of strange, some standing, There are also kneeling ones, and some are even only half-carved, which seems to be shelved suddenly after something happened.

"You are here." Just when we were shocked, a dry voice came, and I hurriedly shone the flashlight, only to see Kumbu, who was all in black, leaning against the corner, his face a little pale.

Because of the way he was dressed, no one would notice him if he didn't speak.

Lao Yan hurried over to ask him what's wrong?
"It's okay." He shook his head, and then added: "This is not Cancong's tomb."

Ok?
I looked at him suspiciously, not understanding how he judged. First of all, with these bronze statues, there is no dispute that this is the site of the ancient Shu Kingdom.But it is impossible to judge the specific place, because according to historical records, all the kings of the ancient Shu Kingdom seem to have the habit of erecting portraits, and how to distinguish them has always been a mystery.

Lao Yan glanced at the stone room, then nodded: "That's right, this should be a tomb that was suddenly abandoned for unknown reasons, no matter in terms of scale or style, it is unfinished."

Kumbu nodded, as if he had no strength, Lao Yan asked him again what happened?
"I don't know," Kumbu said, "I seem to see a shadow, and that's it, but the light was too dark at the time, so I don't know if it's an illusion."

After he said two sentences in succession, he had no intention of opening his mouth, and only asked us to be careful.

While we were talking, Ms. Qiu and Yazai had already wandered around the stone room, and Ms. Qiu seemed a little uninterested: "There are no other valuable things except these bronze statues. And these bronze statues have long been taken away." Those archaeologists have studied it thoroughly, tsk, it’s really boring.”

"No." Yazai shook his head: "They didn't study it thoroughly. The bronze statue here is very different from the one that has been excavated."

We all looked at him. When it comes to the research on these things, no one is more qualified to speak than Professor Xu. As his beloved disciple, Yazai has been fascinated by it since he was a child, so he naturally has some skills.

He pointed to a kneeling bronze statue and said, "Such a statue was unearthed in the Sanxingdui ruins. It was kneeling under a sacred tree and praying to the gods. All the research shows that it should be a slave. But look at this statue. , but the mask on his face is golden, in the ancient Shu Kingdom, the golden mask represented the supreme status, so this place is different from Sanxingdui."

What he said made us more interested in this place, but I didn't know anything about this aspect, so I could only watch them discuss it.

Kumbu, like me, slowly stood up from the corner. I saw that he looked weak and was about to go up to help him, but felt something was wrong.

However, before I could recover, he had already pounced on me, and then I realized what was wrong—the glove on his hand was missing!
Because he was sitting all the time, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, we didn't notice at all, but according to Yazi and the others, no one has ever seen Kumbu take off these gloves.

"Old Yan!" I yelled in desperation before I was restrained by Kumbu, his hand was icy cold, as if a piece of thousand-year-old ice had been placed on my neck.

The three people who were discussing fiercely turned their heads and looked over, their expressions were stunned for a moment, and the boy asked stupidly: "Akun, Chang'an, he didn't offend you, did he?"

My neck was strangled, so I couldn't speak. I could only shake my head in warning, trying to tell them that this is not kombu.

Fortunately, the other two people are not as short-sighted as Yazai. Miss Qiu pinned the flagon to her waist in an instant, took out a pair of throwing knives from her bag, and glanced at me, as if thinking about the angle of the throwing knives. I dare not move.

Lao Yan asked lightly, "Who are you? Where is Kumbu."

"Isn't he Kumbu?" Yazai reacted belatedly, then became anxious, and was about to take a gun from his bag but was scolded by the fake Kumbu.

Lao Yan sneered again and again, saying that knowing that you are afraid of guns means you are human.

I also exhaled. From being restrained to now, I thought that the one behind me was a big zongzi. After all, this was in the tomb. Now I am completely relieved after hearing what Lao Yan said, so I am not nervous anymore. I just watched Lao Yan dealt with him!

This man is not a fuel-efficient lamp. No matter what Lao Yan said, he would not let me go first, and he would not say where he got the real kombu, and he didn't even say the purpose, which made us completely confused. .

"Tomb robber?" Lao Yan suddenly said, and the people behind him trembled, as if they had been hit.

Lao Yan smiled like a kind elder, as if the confrontation just now had never happened: "We have important matters here this time, so there will be no complications. Of course, you can't take anything with you from here. You let him go, we will Then I let you go, if you hurt him, Liangzi might not be well today."

Although these words were said with a smile, I always feel that the meaning of threat is stronger.

"I don't believe you, you belong to the National Archaeological Team." The person behind spoke, not just Kumbu's voice, but a hoarse low voice.

Old Yan said: "It's useless if you don't believe it. Since we've come in, we're not afraid of sacrificing a lot of people, so you can't threaten me."

Before the people behind him could speak, Lao Yan spoke again: "You came here a few days ago, right? When I wanted to go out, I found that the archaeological team was outside and trapped in the tomb."

The person still didn't respond, but it must have been picked up by Lao Yan, because I felt his hand loosen my grip.

"You let him go, we will take you out, and no one will question you if you follow us, as long as you tell where our companion is." Miss and Yazai didn't let them move.

I can understand what he meant. After all, this person pretended to be Kumbu and lied to us in the dark, proving that something happened to Kumbu, and there are more or less two reasons for him to get him into trouble.

The man hesitated, and held my hand a little more loosely. Lao Yan winked at me, and I nodded calmly.Then Lao Yan took two steps forward, this man got nervous, and was about to lock my neck again, but I threw him over my shoulder.

At first I didn't dare to move because I was afraid that he would be a zongzi, but behind him was Lao Yan who had been dealing with him all the time, now that he relaxed a little, I naturally dared to fight back.

"Ahem!" The man coughed a few times after being thrown, and just as he was about to get up, Miss Qiu stepped on his chest.

Miss Qiu bent down and gestured at his face with a throwing knife in her hand: "Tell me where he is honestly, otherwise I don't mind bleeding you."

This person seemed to know that he couldn't deal with us, and asked hoarsely, "I said, can you really take me out?"

"As long as you don't take anything from the tomb, we can guarantee you to return home safely." Lao Yan nodded indifferently. He was also born as a grave robber, so there is no need to force his former colleagues to death.

The man said helplessly, "Except for those bronze statues that are so heavy that they are about to die, there is nothing here."

Lao Yan nodded his head to agree with his words, and the man no longer struggled, pointing to a bronze statue and said: "It's empty inside, I stuffed him in."

We were scared into a cold sweat by him, but fortunately he was willing to say it, otherwise it would be difficult for us to think that Kumbu was hidden in such a place.

After finishing speaking, this person confirmed to us that we must take him out. Miss Qiu ignored him and kicked him directly, and this person fainted...

"This...is too much to be kicked?" Yazai was stunned.

Lao Yan explained that we were only bluffed by him, but in fact we were trapped in the tomb for two or three days, and this man was already at the end of his strength.

"Leave him alone, save people first." Miss Qiu went to the statue and fumbled for the mechanism.
