Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 809 Twelve Golden Bowls

I took the dagger out of my pocket, and gently peeled off a corner of the human skin.It was empty inside, and the human skin was no longer as flexible as it was just now. After I lifted a corner, it drooped directly.

I let out a breath and didn't know what to do, I just looked at Lao Yan for help.

Lao Yan patted my shoulder and said that you should have seen this kind of thing a lot.

I shook my head and said no, this human skin is, is a child's.

Because of the length of this human skin, I always thought it was an adult. Although an adult is worthy of sympathy, it will not make us who have seen blood so much emotion, but children...

Not to mention how much sympathy I have, partly because of Er Gouzi's tragic death, I especially don't want to see the child die innocently.

Lao Yan frowned, and asked me how I could tell?

I pointed to the skin on the waist. The skin texture of an adult is different from that of a child. Although this child is tall, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Looking at the delicateness of the skin, he is probably a girl.

A girl who was in the prime of cardamom was fed worms while she was alive, and then she was skinned in a special way before the worms were completely dead. How did she feel at that time?

No, where could she feel anything but fear and unbearable pain?
I exhaled, desperately suppressing the discomfort in my heart, and slowly put away the human skin.

Seeing me like this, the boy reminded me that there are many things in the tomb that are ominous, and it would be better to cremate them on the spot.

I didn't agree, because I thought that if I were this child, I probably wouldn't want to be cremated in the enemy's grave.

As for the ominous situation, I am alone, so do I still care about this?
Seeing that I had made up my mind, they didn't say anything more.

Strangely, after I put away the human skin, the door of the tomb opened quietly in front of us.

I know that this high probability is just a coincidence, but I believe this is her reward even more!

"Let's go, I want to see what other unconscionable things Liu Qu has done." My tone was not very good.

I know it's not good to have such a mentality, but I can't help it, the more I feel like this, the more I can't help it.

Lao Yan saw that I hadn't spoken, and told everyone else to follow me.

After passing through the tomb door, there is a tomb room. The layout of this tomb room is very strange. There is a tomb passage on the right side of the tomb room. In front of us, it seems that we are afraid that we will not see them.

In addition, there is a golden coffin, and there are many funerary objects.

Many of these funerary objects are gold and silver utensils, and the special one is a set of gold bowls, each of which is the same size and even the details are exactly the same.

This kind of craftsmanship was rare at that time, even if the same mold was made, there might be a slight difference. I didn't expect to see a set of twelve identical things here.

I just found a golden bowl here, and Yazai also found a set of twelve golden jugs over there.

Miss Qiu let out a hey, and said that it looked better than her silver flagon.

"What, you still want this?" I joked.

I know she won't want it. The things in the tomb are valuable, but if I use them myself, I still can't pass the test in my heart.

I rummaged through the funeral objects around me, and then asked Lao Yan a few questions about the etiquette system of the Western Han Dynasty.

The supremacy of imperial power is beneficial, but there are also many rules. Everyone is very particular about the etiquette used for burial. Even though Liu Qu may not follow it too much, he will not make irregular things on the surface. , so once you know the regulations, you will also know who is buried in this tomb.

Lao Yan touched a golden bowl and said: "Accordingly, the one who can enjoy the golden bowl to be buried with him must be at least a scholar-bureaucrat. But the size of the tomb in front of him is not large, so it is estimated that Liu Qu will trust him very much, but The status is not necessarily high."

I nodded, then stood beside the coffin, staring at the coffin.

"Open the coffin?"

Yazi Queque asked a question tentatively, but I shook my head, unable to say anything, the light on his face disappeared when he said this, and said that every time he encountered a coffin, he would open it, what happened this time?
I snorted and said, "Because this is not a coffin, but a huge mechanism. If it is opened, we don't know if we can get out of the tomb alive."

Yazai looked at me in surprise and asked me how I could tell. I pointed to the coffin and said it was because of the size of the coffin, which was too small.

Small?
Yazai is not very convinced, saying that this coffin is enough for two people, how can it be small?
I chuckled, but before I explained it, Professor Xu had already glared at you, and told you to read more books, be more careful when reading, and don’t just swallow jujubes just because of your good memory, you just don’t believe me.

The boy opened his mouth wide, probably because he didn't understand why he was reprimanded like this. Professor Xu didn't make things difficult for him, pointing to the coffin and explaining: "This coffin doesn't conform to the regulations of scholar-bureaucrats. Since Liu Qu trusts this person, he will give it to him." If he was buried with a scholar-bureaucrat, he would definitely not treat this person badly on the coffin, after all, the coffin can be regarded as a person's home after death."

Yazai let out an oh, and then said that he had indeed heard such a statement, but he didn't react for a while.

I shrugged and said nothing.

It is good for a child to have a good memory, but it is not certain whether he can mobilize the knowledge in time every time.

After Professor Xu finished speaking, he added: "You, the reserve of 701 knowledge in the future depends entirely on you, and you have to use a little care."

Yazai rubbed his head to reassure Professor Xu, and then asked a question unwillingly, saying that the Yanjing archaeological team plotted against him so much, why did he still go?

"Of course it's for 701." Professor Xu didn't say anything false. He looked at us and said seriously: "There are no other people here. There are some things that I can't say when I'm in the department. Since the boy asked, I'm here I told you. Chang'an, Yazai, Miss Qiu, and Kumbu who is not here now, you all remember one thing clearly."

Seeing him suddenly serious, our expressions immediately became serious.

Professor Xu sighed softly: "701 is yours after all, you must develop a habit—that is, don't believe anyone!"

I frowned, and Professor Xu looked at us and said, "You are comrades fighting side by side. You can trust each other, but you must also have enough judgment. Also, don't go alone, you have to cooperate with other departments and The higher-ups communicate more, our department is special, if we don’t clarify some things in time, maybe they don’t understand us at all.”

Professor Xu said a lot of words to warn us, and finally got to the point: "Don't let others take advantage of it. 701 is 701. No one else can enter 701 under any name. Do you remember?"

His tone was very serious, and we responded very seriously, so Yazai still asked why.Professor Xu looked at me and asked me to explain it to him, obviously dissatisfied with Yazai's absence at the moment.

Yazai feels aggrieved, saying that he is just not good at these twists and turns.

In fact, I know that he is not bad at it. From the time he went to the Yanjing archaeological team, I discovered that he is actually very suitable.

But he is unwilling, he would rather be a simple person, even if he will be treated unfairly.

So I just smiled and said because once someone else stepped in, the 701 was never the same 701 that defended the national treasure.

Yazai let out an oh, and obviously wanted to ask again, but was frightened by Professor Xu's eyes.

"If we don't open the coffin, what are we going to do now?" Lao Yan brought our topic back.

I pointed to the stairs and said that Liu Qu had already done it so clearly, if we didn't go down, would we be a little sorry for his enthusiasm?
Lao Yan also laughed: "You're right! If this is the case, then let's go down, so that he can know that it's better not to do such mysterious things."

"I'll go down first, Yazai, you respond from above, as for the others..." I looked at everyone, and then made a few gestures.

We got along very well, so after I made a few gestures, they knew what to do, and they all gestured to me that there was no problem, and then they went to the place I said.

Only then did I feel relieved, threw my backpack to Yazai, took only a gun and a dagger, and walked down the stairs holding a flashlight.

The splendor along the way has changed when it comes to the stairs, and it has become a wooden staircase. Also, at the level at that time, there should be no way to use something so soft as gold to make stairs.

As soon as he stepped on the stairs, there was a creaking sound, as if the stairs would be disconnected at any time.

The light of the flashlight is not far away here, as if it was sucked in by something!
