Chapter 157
"Have you ever seen this kind of sarcophagus?" After hearing what he said, I also became confused.
"I once saw it in western Hunan. There were three sarcophagi in the tomb at that time. One of them had been opened, but there was nothing inside. When we hesitated to open the other two, the sarcophagus opened by itself. From the inside
A black-haired corpse guard and later an evil spirit emerged, and we almost lost our lives because of this."
"Oh? There is such a thing. Is it possible that the sarcophagus in this tomb has the same thing as the Xixiang sarcophagus?" Thinking of this, and looking at Ke Qiao's expression, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back, and I stared at the sarcophagus.
go.
After opening the sarcophagus, the few people not only did not show the slightest worry or fear, but instead scrambled to look inside the sarcophagus.
However, after seeing the scene inside clearly, one of them cursed angrily: "Damn it, why is there nothing, just a pile of rotten bones."
Another person also spat and cursed: "Yeah, all the way here, the damn thing I saw most were bones, not a single valuable thing. Aman said there is a lot of gold here, I think he is lying to us."
"Shh," another person next to him interrupted: "Keep your voice down, be careful not to let the boss hear you."
As he said this, the man turned back to look at us. When he saw everyone's eyes staring at him, he was so frightened that he immediately trembled.
It turned out that a few of them thought that we were all looking at the murals, figurines or doing other things, and didn't pay attention to them. We didn't want to hear everything we said.
Ah Man glared at them with a sullen face. Old Pan on the side saw this and smiled: "Don't be discouraged. There is nothing valuable in this tomb. Not only is it not bad news for us, but it is a good sign. This proves it even more."
The existence of a treasure. Since it is a treasure, it cannot be found so easily. I believe the treasure must be somewhere behind."
Ah Man coughed lightly, glared at the three subordinates, and said: "Old Pan is right, since you came here, I will not let you go back empty-handed, but I don't want to hear you talking about it again in the future.
Talk bad about me behind my back and disrupt my military morale, otherwise don’t blame me for turning against you."
Being threatened by Ah Man, several people lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word, obviously very afraid of him.
Lao Pan reconciled, walked up to them, patted one of them on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, your boss is right. Now that you are here, I will never let you go back empty-handed. This tomb obviously has no
These are valuable things, so don’t waste your efforts on these sarcophagi, but have you seen the two corridors in front of them?"
"One of these two corridors must lead to the Treasure Pavilion, where countless gold and silver treasures are piled up. Haven't you seen that? Haven't you seen those gold and silver treasures smiling and waving to us?"
As Lao Pan spoke, he made exaggerated expressions and movements. Yan Ran was an instigator, which shocked us all. Now I know that Lao Pan is not only a tomb robber, but also an excellent instigator.
Having said that, after hearing Lao Pan's obviously instigating words, the three of them just looked at each other without speaking, and did not show too much excitement on their faces. It seemed that they didn't buy Lao Pan's account much.
If you want to convince the crowd, you have to come up with something. Old Pan seemed to understand this. Seeing that the three of them were silent, he sneered, then turned around and walked towards the sarcophagus in front. When he came to the sarcophagus, Old Pan pointed at the sarcophagus and said
: "Brothers, look what a golden coffin this is."
After hearing Lao Pan's words, everyone looked at each other, and the three subordinates ran over directly.
I only know that this sarcophagus is the largest one in this tomb, and it is likely that the owner of this tomb is buried, but I didn't have time to take a closer look.
After getting closer, I discovered that the lid of the sarcophagus was actually open, and everyone looked sideways inside through the flashlight light.
The inside of the sarcophagus is about one meter wide. There is a yellow metal coffin placed inside. The flashlight shines on it and it shines brightly. It does look like a golden coffin at first glance.
But if you take a closer look, you will find that there is a faint purple-green color on the coffin. The most important thing is that the color of this yellow metal coffin, both the coffin lid and the coffin body, is already a little purple.
It is impossible for gold to appear like this
In this case, it can be seen that this coffin should be made of brass, and it is a brass coffin.
In addition, there are many sacrificial inscriptions carved on the lid of the copper coffin. These sacrificial inscriptions are in a very orderly manner and are separated by horizontal and vertical lines half a centimeter deep carved on the coffin body. They look sonorous and powerful.
When several other people heard Lao Pan say that it was a gold coffin, they looked at each other and it was obvious that they, like me, knew that the coffin in front of them was not made of gold.
Just because we know it doesn't mean that Ah Man's subordinates also know it, and we don't blame them. If we only look at it with the naked eye, it would be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between gold and copper, especially after it has been stored for so long.
After seeing the copper coffin, Aman's three subordinates swept away their previous unhappiness and stared at the copper coffin with gleaming eyes. They almost stopped drooling.
Looking at their expressions, I really wonder if they have never seen money in their eight lives. I have never seen such greed.
Looking at the greedy expressions of the three of them, Lao Pan smiled meaningfully, then stepped aside to make way for them to "work". Then he looked back at us standing there and said with a smile: "Brothers
, I’ll make a bet with you, I bet there is a treasure inside this golden coffin, what do you think?”
Everyone went up the steps to the sarcophagus.
I looked at Si Weiqi and asked her what she meant.
Si Weiqi smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying: "You win. In terms of specifications, since the owner of this tomb is buried in this golden coffin, it is not unusual to have funerary objects inside. However, the premise is
You have a way to open the golden coffin."
"Whether it can be opened or not, you have to try to find out. I only know that if you don't try, you will never be able to open it!" As he said that, he turned his attention to the three subordinates who were very busy.
As soon as Lao Pan left, the three of them couldn't wait to take out their tools, surrounded the sarcophagus, and began to lift the copper coffin out.
Because their attention was focused on the copper coffin, they mistakenly took the copper coffin for the gold coffin, so the three of them completely ignored us. Two of them felt that carrying guns on their backs was in the way, so they even threw the guns on their shoulders aside.
, a complete look like "I don't hear anything outside the window, and I only read the books of sages."
The copper coffin seemed to be very heavy. The three of them worked for a long time but couldn't get it out. It would probably take some time to get it out. Ke Qiao walked to the back to look at the sarcophagus on the left that had been pried open. Seeing that it was okay, I left too.
past.
There are eight sarcophagi on the left and right sides of the tomb. These sixteen sarcophagi are exactly the same in appearance, two meters long and more than half a meter wide.
Because the front sarcophagus contained a copper coffin, I thought there should be a copper coffin in the following sarcophagi, but through the flashlight I found that there was only one set of bones inside.
The skeleton was wearing leather armor and a helmet, but the clothes and pants had long since rotted away. From the appearance, it was still clear that the skeleton should have been that of a man during his lifetime.
Because his pelvis is relatively narrow, and the most important thing is that he has a ghost-headed ax on his chest. Although it is rusty, it is precisely because of the rust that it looks particularly scary.
Ke Qiao pointed to the helmet of the skeleton and said to me: "Did you see it? This should be a general."
"The patterns on those wooden coffins are engraved with two crossed swords. What do these represent?" I asked Si Weiqi while looking at the skeleton in the sarcophagus.
I was about to move the flashlight into the sarcophagus to take a look at the skeleton inside. Unexpectedly, as soon as I moved my hand, two red lights suddenly lit up inside the dark sarcophagus, looking motionless like two eyes.
Me, I was so scared that I took a few steps back and almost shouted.
"The eyes of the skeleton inside the sarcophagus."
I was just about to say that I just saw the skeleton's eyes emitting a strange red light, but suddenly a hand stretched out from behind and put it on my shoulder, which scared me half to death. When I looked back, it turned out to be Ke
Joe.
I breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ke Qiao reproachfully, and said, "You almost scared me to death. By the way, I just saw..."
"Shh!" Ke Qiao interrupted me, looked at me seriously, and said softly.
I originally wanted to tell him what I had just seen. But at this moment, I glanced and found that there was nothing inside the sarcophagus.
There was no abnormality, the skeleton was still lying quietly in the coffin, and the empty eye sockets were dark and there was no red light.
"Am I dazzled?" I thought and shook my head. Si Weiqi next to me and others behind me were stunned by my reaction just now and asked me what was wrong.
I wanted to tell what I saw, but I wasn't sure. I took another look at the skeleton in the sarcophagus, and there was indeed nothing unusual about it.
If I said that I just saw the skeleton's eyes flashing red, no one would believe it. Everyone's nerves are already very sensitive in this kind of place. If we "make things out of nothing", it will only add worries to us and make us confused.
Proportion and positioning, not to mention I'm not sure whether what I saw is real or just a dazzle.
When Si Weiqi asked me, I thought for a while, then shook my head and said, "It's nothing, I'm dazzled."
I was in a hurry and couldn't think of a good way to say it, so I came up with an excuse.
Sure enough, after Si Weiqi heard what I said, she looked at me suspiciously, then looked at Ke Qiao behind her, and then lowered her head to look into the sarcophagus.
Lao Pan also came over. Ke Qiao asked us to stay away from the sarcophagus earlier, which already made him suspicious. After taking a look at the skeletons in the sarcophagus, he also looked at me with suspicion.
Even so, I felt a little uneasy in my heart, so that after taking a few steps, I couldn't help but look back.
I don't know why, but I always feel like there is a shadow following us.
It's like our own shadow - following us everywhere.
When Si Weiqi saw me looking back, she also looked back and said softly to me, "Don't think nonsense!"
Si Weiqi's voice was very soft, but her words were very serious. My mood gradually calmed down, and I breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking: "It seems that I am really dazzled. This kind of place is too eerie and terrifying, and it will inevitably make people think wildly!"
"
The three people who were prying the coffin were still working hard. At this time, they had lifted the copper coffin out of the stone coffin. Previously, they only knew that there were many runes and sacrificial inscriptions on the coffin lid. After taking it out, they discovered that the coffin was also carved with the same runes.
Wen, but this copper coffin is not big, about 1.8 meters long and only 20 centimeters high. If there are burial objects inside, they must be very few. But if you think about it from another angle, "There are not many burial objects."
, but in the essence of things." If the funerary objects are "gaudy and flashy, too many but not refined," no matter how many there are, they can only be "tasteless" and "it would be a pity to throw them away if they are tasteless."
Although this copper coffin is not big, apart from the bones inside, there is not much space for burial objects. However, after the ancients died, they would burn or bury the things they used during their lifetime, especially the most valuable things.
In the owner's body, some misers or landowners often swallowed precious things in their stomachs after death. This is not a big deal. What is even more exaggerated is that the seven orifices are also filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
Although this copper coffin is not big at the moment, if there are burial objects inside, then the burial objects must be priceless. The three of them are not stupid. They thought of this level, otherwise, they would not use it.
Go and pry it hard.
What is unsatisfactory is that the lid and body of the copper coffin are very firmly connected. Although there is a gap, the gap looks like a stroke. No matter how hard you try to pry it, you can't open it.
After struggling for a while, one of the three people became impatient. After waving the other two away, he raised his gun and pointed it at the copper coffin and swept it with a shuttle.
"Dong dong dong", a series of huge blows came from the copper coffin, which shocked us who were unprepared. The unique gunfire of Aka 47 and the sound of bullets hitting the copper coffin echoed in our ears,
The "reverberating sound" lingered around for a long time, causing everyone's eardrums to hurt. They involuntarily covered their ears. After a long time, the sound dispersed in all directions from near to far.
Ke Qiao glared at him angrily. Lao Pan obviously didn't expect to shoot in this tomb, and the gunshots would be so loud, and he was also quite dissatisfied with this subordinate's behavior. They didn't expect that they had fired several shots.
