Halfway through speaking, Senior Brother Geng looked up at the top of the sky and became stunned. I reached out and patted his shoulder: "Senior Brother Geng?"

"Ah?" Senior Brother Geng was shocked by me, but he soon came to his senses and pointed to the zenith and said to me: "There is the ground, the one we are stepping on is the zenith, and the tomb is upside down."

I asked him: "What is the purpose of the first generation of ancestors making the tomb like this?"

Senior Brother Geng thought for a while and said, "If the tomb is upside down, the left and right are also upside down."

He said this the same as he didn't say it. I sighed in my heart, held up the lantern and continued to walk forward. Senior Brother Geng squatted down, picked up a bird like it stuffed into a waterproof bag.

Not long after, a wall made of stone bricks appeared on the edge of the fire. At the intersection of each four stone bricks, a round nail as big as a fist was inlaid. In some places, the stone bricks broke and the nails fell down.

I guess there should be a door on such a tomb wall, so I walked along the wall. As I walked, I saw some pits on the wall. These holes did not seem to be corroded. They were very deep, as if someone had carved out of a sharp thing, and a round nail was also concave.

Liu Shangang came to the wall and looked carefully, and said to me: "This is a bullet hole shot from a dirt gun. Someone has come in! There are still remaining bullets on it."

These holes were not made by the crazy monk, right? He may have been here, but can he use a gun?

Liang Houzai said: "There was a bullet hole on the wall, which means there was a battle in this place."

I saw a scattered bullet under my feet, and squatted down and picked it up. I don’t know much about the gun, but I can roughly see that this bullet should not belong to a modern gun. It is too small, irregular in shape, and it is covered with rust. It is obvious that it was left here many years ago.

I threw the bullet and said to the others, "Everyone get together, don't go too long." After that, I continued to look for the door.

On an open space, we accidentally found three remains, two of which were broken by bullets, and the other skull was completely broken. It seemed that he had been killed by someone using a blunt weapon.

Senior Brother Geng picked up a Luoyang shovel from the ground and said that these people should be tomb robbers. It may be that the uneven distribution of the spoils caused a conflict, and they were killing each other.

I said, "For such a tomb, there should be no burial objects?"

Senior Brother Geng said: "That may not be necessary. The bird statues on the iron tree can be considered priceless antiques. In addition, the tomb deep in our current situation is originally a doubt tomb. The first generation may have placed some burial objects and disguised them as ordinary tombs. These are not important. The key question now is how these tomb robbers came in. Don't look at them carrying Luoyang shovels, but such a tomb cannot be dug with these broken shovels."

I continued: "I suspect there is a pre-built entrance in the tomb?"

Senior Brother Geng rubbed his chin and sighed.

His reaction made me feel heartbroken. According to his previous statement, it was impossible for the First Ancestor to open two entrances in the tomb. If there were two entrances, it means that the person who participated in the construction of the tomb secretly made a move.

Did there be any problems inside Jihun Village two thousand years ago?

I didn't dare to continue thinking and left the corpses without saying a word.

I walked a long way along the wall, and the imagined door never appeared. Another wall had appeared outside the faint green fire. Not far away, it was the angle between the two stone walls.

There are no round nails on the other stone wall, but there are a lot of relief carved on it. The patterns on each stone slab are the same. They are all four-legged bird totems of the female stork clan. Some are very corrosive. Except for a pair of bird wings, the other parts are almost indistinguishable.

When I was about to turn around and walk in the opposite direction, Senior Brother Geng came to me. He knocked on the wall covered with round nails with his hand and said to me: "Behind this wall, there should be the back hall, and we can't get in now."

I looked at the wall over there and then looked at Senior Brother Geng.

Senior Brother Geng continued: "The layout of this wall can correspond to the structure of the eight-door gold locks. However, normally, the tomb chamber that deals with the layout of the eight-door gold locks should be a regular octagonal surrounded by eight walls. Each wall has a door, one door and one side hall, but the angle between the two walls in front of you is straight. Well, this means that this tomb should have only two side halls on the left and right, one of which is connected to the life gate and the other to the death gate..."

I couldn't help but interrupt Senior Brother Geng: "Senior Brother, just tell me which direction to go."

Senior Brother Geng then pointed to the wall covered with reliefs: "Go along this wall."

I sighed in my heart, raised the fox fire lantern and searched along the wall.

Along the way, we saw several pairs of skeletons, and Liu Shangang also found a box gun made of earth and some gold, silver and treasures scattered on the ground.

After walking for a long time, I finally found a copper door on the wall. It had been damaged. One door panel was broken into three or four pieces, fragments were scattered on the ground, and the other door was also curved.

Liu Shangang looked at the two door panels and frowned: "This is a bombardment with powerful explosives. These gangsters are also domineering enough, and they are not afraid of shaking the tomb."

I didn't stop at the door for a long time and went straight into the tomb. Senior Brother Geng followed me in and said to me: "This is the left side hall, you know, please look for it if there is an exit."

"Do you still need to look for it? Isn't that the only one?" I pointed to a wall next to my right hand and said to Senior Brother Geng.

At the bottom of the wall, there is a square hole nearly one meter wide and high, and a small amount of gravel is scattered around the opening.

Senior Brother Geng immediately came over, looked inside the hole, muttering: "This tunnel cannot be taken out by tomb robbers, they just smashed a layer of stone slabs on the wall."

In fact, if you see the amount of gravel near the entrance of the cave, you can infer this conclusion. If the tomb robbers dig in from outside, in addition to gravel, there will definitely be a lot of soil in the entrance of the cave.

I raised the lantern and took a photo, and saw a large coffin standing at the bottom of the tomb. Generally, the coffin is placed horizontally, but the coffin is standing upright there. On the lid of the coffin, there are holes punched out by a dirt gun.

Xian'er asked beside me, "Is it the tomb robber who stood it up?"

I looked at the ground. There were no stone slabs on the ground in the tomb, but a slightly soft mud layer. I didn't know whether these mud layers were natural or deliberately laid on it by the first generation. I only knew that there was no trace of the coffin dragging on it. The coffin in front of me was originally a coffin standing in one mouthful.

"Open the coffin." I said these two words to Xian'er briefly, then came to the coffin, grabbed the lid with both hands and pulled it hard.

But I didn't expect that the material of this coffin was similar to wood. The corrosion of two thousand years had already made it fragile. I just pulled it like this and the lid of the coffin was broken. The lower half was still standing in the soil, and the upper half was clanging and fell directly to the ground.

Senior Brother Geng was jumped by my sudden action. He turned his head suddenly, looked at the coffin, and asked me, "Why did you open the coffin?"

I waved my hand to drive away the dust raised when the lid of the coffin broke, and used fox fire to illuminate the inside of the coffin, and then said: "There is no evil spirit in the coffin. I want to see what is inside."

Under the illumination of the fox fire, there seemed to be a flash of light in the coffin. I tried to reach into my hand and immediately touched a very smooth thing. I grabbed the thing and pulled it out gently. When I pulled it out of the coffin, I realized that it was a piece of dark silk cloth.

After so many years, the silk cloth has not rotted at all and its feel is still extremely smooth.

Senior Brother Geng rushed over, looked at the things in my hand nervously, and looked into the coffin again. I heard him say, "The clay man is placed in the coffin, this is the death gate."

But I didn't respond to him, just looked at the silk cloth in my hand and was trance. In my mind, a voice repeatedly said: "Take away the shroud, take away the shroud..."

That was the voice of the first generation ancestor.

I stood opposite the coffin and looked down at the silk cloth in my hand. Under the flames, it looked pure black, as dark as the shadows in the corner of the tomb.

The voice of the first generation gradually weakened. I tried to ask her in my heart what the use of this cloth was, but until her voice disappeared, my question was not answered.

Xian'er asked me, "What's this in your hand?"

"Shroud." I responded simply, folded the shroud and put it in a waterproof bag.

Senior Brother Geng was still studying the clay man in the coffin, while Liang Houzai said on the side: "Since the tomb robber entered the tomb from this place, why didn't the coffin be opened?"

Senior Brother Geng said: "It is the rule of the Tushizi to stand a coffin without moving. Such rules were found in the Qin Dynasty. Coffin was a soul-locking coffin, and something big would happen if it moved. Think about it, after a person dies, he would stand in the coffin for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and never be able to live in peace forever. How much resentment would be. In other words, there is a way, and as soon as he came in, he opened the coffin without saying a word."

I asked Senior Brother Geng: "Why are clay sculptures placed in the coffin?"

"This clay sculpture is wrapped with real corpses, in order to keep the corpses standing forever," said Senior Brother Geng: "This tomb chamber should be the dead door of the eight-door golden lock. If there is a coffin in the life gate, the coffin should be a horizontal coffin and the coffin is empty. Look, this coffin is also made of dead wood. Oh, it is ebony. This wood is very carbonized so that it can rot and immortal. If it is another wood, two thousand years have passed, and the standing coffin has long collapsed."

Liu Shangang shouted behind him: "Let's go find that, Shengmen, the air quality here is not very good, you can't stay for too long."

Senior Brother Geng touched his chin and shook his head and said, "No, the structure of this tomb is reversed. The Death Gate should be the Life Gate. I guess there should be a mechanism to open the back hall here."

As soon as he said this, I planned to take action and help him find the mechanism in the tomb. Liu Shangang also took out a flashlight.

Senior Brother Geng waved his hand to everyone: "Don't move all of you." Then he said to me: "You Tao, light the lantern and follow me."

After saying that, he touched the stone wall on his left, and I held up the lantern and followed him.

There are also many four-legged bird reliefs on the stone wall, each bird facing upwards and tail facing downwards, indicating that the tomb is also upside down.

Senior Brother Geng came to the stone wall and carefully fumbled on it. My vision was fixed on the zenith, and there was a slight sound of running water coming. I guess there was a *** road outside the zenith, for fear that the tomb chamber would be disrepaired for many years, and the stone slabs on the zenith would fall off under the influence of water pressure.

Not long after, Senior Brother Geng patted my arm and pointed to a stone brick beside him: "Push it and take a look."
