Chapter 19 The Tomb of the Damned
Now that I told the truth, the fat man quickly picked up the photo and looked at it, and he became furious.
He grabbed Lao Jintou and slapped him with a few slaps, and then said with a fierce look: "You old guy, why don't you go to the United States to act in a blockbuster? Have all the villagers in Shaozi Village been brainwashed by you? Hurry up and give me a
Tell me straight away, otherwise Fatty will let you know why the flowers are so red today."
We have never understood everything that happened in Shaozi Village, especially the strange behavior of the villagers. This is something that cannot be explained by a centipede coffin.
These villagers obviously have their own thinking and their own lives, but they have mental problems.
And once we outsiders touch any taboo, these people will attack us like crazy!
We used to joke that the villagers here were like members of a cult. Now it seems that this sentence is not wrong at all, and the leader of the cult is right in front of us at this moment.
With that said, everything falls into place.
The villagers' crazy attack on us was just a simple matter of obeying Lao Jintou's words, but this situation coupled with the centipede coffin was enough to make people frightened. If I hadn't had no escape route, I might have chosen to leave at that time.
"Hahahaha, after so many years, there are still people chasing after this place and not letting go..."
Lao Jintou suddenly laughed strangely. He pointed at the photo and asked me: "Who are you, Li Weiguo, and why do you have this photo?"
"My grandfather."
I stared hard at Old Jintou, and I found that when this man mentioned my grandfather, his eyes were very fierce, as if he had some quarrel with my grandfather.
"Tell us clearly what happened back then! Otherwise it won't be good for anyone. We just need an answer, and we won't offend if we tell it. Otherwise, I don't mind doing something." I said with squinted eyes.
"You shouldn't be here."
Lao Jintou shook his head, his expression was a bit gloomy, he probably wasn't a good guy back then.
"Why do you say that?" I asked calmly.
"This is a cursed mausoleum. Anyone who enters it will have a bad end." Lao Jintou closed his eyes and said.
"Back then, there were more than 20 people in the group, all of whom were well-known local masters on the road. They all had unique skills. Cao Si pointed the hole here and dug it out, which made us excited..."
"Why?"
Chen Tuozi asked from the side.
"During the excavation, we dug out a bronze box, and inside it was a well-preserved jade garment with gold threads. If this thing alone was sold, everyone would be rich and prosperous for life. But at that time, everyone was blinded by lard.
Heart, a piece of gold-stitched jade clothing cannot satisfy everyone's appetite, so we continued to dig, and then we encountered the centipede coffin..."
Lao Jintou suddenly looked at me and smiled strangely, which made me feel scared. Then he asked: "Is this the coffin today?"
"Haha, Cao Sizhi said at that time that no more digging could be done here. If we dig any more, something big would happen. Some people immediately scoffed. A Ming and your grandfather are the representatives of the other party. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune. You can see it just around the tomb.
What about the gold-studded jade clothes that are discarded carelessly in the tomb? This purchase will definitely make us rich overnight, and even immigrate to the United States."
"Then what?" the fat man asked.
"Then we removed the centipede coffin, continued digging, and entered the tomb. We have never seen such a luxurious pit. In the outer tomb chamber, we have unearthed dozens of pieces of porcelain, including the gold thread
If Yuyi takes it out and takes action, it will cost at least tens of millions!"
We all listened quietly to Lao Jintou talking about what happened back then. Based on my feeling, I felt that what he said should be true.
"We couldn't stop at that time. This kind of mausoleum may be rare for all of us in ten lifetimes. We decided to clear it out so that we could enjoy our old age in peace. But we didn't expect that this would be the beginning of the tragedy.
!That night, the two people who kept the porcelain died..."
"How did he die? Was he killed?" the fat man asked quickly.
"I don't know, maybe. There were three people on guard duty at night. When these two people died, their pupils were distorted, as if they saw something terrifying. When we checked, we found that these two people were scared to death."
I took a breath of cold air when I heard it, and Lao Jintou continued.
"Then someone died again the next day. This time the person who died was smiling, as if he was having a sweet dream. He was also the person who kept the porcelain. For three consecutive days, people died, and they were all keeping the dozen or so pieces of porcelain.
This made us extremely panicked, because we found no traces of fighting in the tomb, and we don’t know how these people died.”
A bitter smile appeared on Lao Jintou's face: "These extremely precious things later turned into a hot potato. Except for a few brave people, no one dared to touch these porcelain and the gold jade dress."
"All the people who took the things are dead? Is it possible that the gangster eats the gangster?" Chen Tuozi said from the side.
"There were a total of twenty people at that time. Twelve died inexplicably in the tomb, and the remaining eight were not from the same faction. They couldn't be gangsters." Old Jintou said with narrowed eyes.
"After the twelfth person died, the entire team collapsed. No one was willing to move forward, and we fled. I was completely broke at the time, so I gritted my teeth and fished out the ten pieces of porcelain.
Surprisingly, I'm fine. This thing will naturally belong to me after I come out..."
"What happened next? Why did you choose to lurk here?" I asked with a frown. This old man gave me the feeling that there was always something he had not said.
"Once people are out of danger, they will naturally think about more things. You know, we only explored a few partial tomb chambers and got these ten pieces of porcelain. Among them, there was even a white porcelain bowl with a complete Taotie pattern.
, you should know how much this thing is worth, right?"
Lao Jintou looked at me and said.
I took a breath. Some porcelain items from the Warring States Period were even more valuable than jade and bronze items. Because the porcelain-making technology at that time was still very backward, basically only pottery and other things were unearthed, and porcelain was only
It has been unearthed in a few tombs, so the collection is of great significance. It is common to find a suitable buyer and sell a bowl for millions.
I heard Fatty say before that an overseas Chinese professor in the United States publicly purchased porcelain from the Warring States Period in Panjiayuan, and the asking price reached as much as 1 million U.S. dollars. Warring States porcelain is a hard-to-find local product.
