Chapter 72 Who Comes
"Damn!"
"What are you? Why are you so big?" Douyazai couldn't help but say loudly.
Xiaomi put the big mud-stuffed box on the ground and whispered, "I don't know either."
"Look, look."
Cleaning up the black mud on the box gradually reveals the true appearance of this thing.
It is about thirty centimeters long and twenty centimeters wide. The surface of the material looks like opaque glass, with a red and blue box similar to the cover of the heaven and earth. There is a big hole on the back of the box, which consists of two semicircles above and below.
The box lid button is a four-legged turtle lying on the ground, with sculptures of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and animals at the corners. It is well preserved and has very complicated workmanship.
At first I couldn't recognize what the box was, so I slowly pried it open along the gap with a knife. I found that the box was filled with black mud. I poured out the mud. I found that there were a few human teeth scattered in the mud. The teeth were smaller than normal adults and should be children's.
Liao Bo suddenly spoke thoughtfully and said, "Is this box made of lead-shell glass?"
"Lead shell glass?"
"Brother Liao, do you think Liuli?"
.
Liao Bo took a deep breath and said with a serious expression that it seemed to be "Wen Ming, the Glazed Wen Ming of the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing my expression of confusion, Liao Bo said you have never heard of Yu Wenming?
I thought about it and said I didn't know, I had never heard of it.
There seems to be one of the "Wen Ming" in the National Palace Museum, and there seems to be one of the Shaanxi Museums. I have opened my eyes. According to Liao Bo's introduction, Wen Ming is a kind of burial instrument invented in the Han Dynasty. Looking through the historical materials, he only mentioned one sentence, saying that the Han Emperor once rewarded Huo Guang with a high-level coffin burial instrument. This special burial instrument is called Wen Ming, which is specially used to release dead people's heads.
Few people have seen this kind of funeral instrument. I have studied it and think it should be used this way.
Isn’t there two semicircular holes behind the glazed box? After lying in the coffin, the person drilled his neck into the box along the hole, and then covered it with a lid. From a distance, the whole person’s head and face were hidden in the box.
Why do you do this? What is Wen Ming’s role? Because there are too few people who have seen the information. I can only guess that there should be two possibilities.
First, like the golden-thread jade clothes and golden-thread mat, except for some anticorrosion, it is likely to indicate that the owner of the tomb has a noble status and a noble status.
Second, the ancients believed that there was a saying that after death, the heavenly soul would not disappear in the short term and would live in the celestial spirit cap, that is, in the head. The homonym of Wen Ming is "Wen Ming" and Ming represents death. This box is for the heavenly soul to live in.
No matter what, this thing is very small and should be very valuable. I was unsure of how much it could be sold, because there was no specific reference price.
Think about it this way.
This is a small coffin. If the corpse of a child is buried in the coffin, the child will not develop well and will be fragile and difficult to preserve. Over the past few hundred years, the skull that should have originally had in the box has weathered and disappeared, leaving only a few teeth.
"Give it to me," Douyazai smiled and took the box over and began to praise Xiaomi for its good luck.
When the large item was released, everyone was in a much better mood. Douyazai made another opinion, saying that we could not fish it like this, and we had to lift the coffin and pour out all the accumulated water.
I said this would be fine, so I prepared to ask Brother Yu to carry the coffin and pour water.
"who!"
As soon as I reached the coffin, I suddenly heard something coming from outside, as if it was coming from the corridor.
"Did you hear it?" I hurriedly asked Douyazi beside me.
Douyazai's tense face immediately smiled.
"You heard this? I just secretly fart silently, sorry."
"No, there is movement." Xiaoxuan looked around nervously.
"Give me the flashlight." Brother Yu frowned and wanted to go over the flashlight and talk out to see the situation.
"Go together, and the others stay here and stand by." I turned around and ordered everyone.
After Brother Yu came out, he deliberately turned off the flashlight. We walked away while touching the wall. He whispered to me and said not to act rashly. If anything happens, you must obey his command.
I touched the wall and came out of the main tomb. I didn't see anyone, but I smelled a smoky smell.
Brother Yu turned on the flashlight and shone forward.
I saw thick smoke constantly coming out of the corridor in the southwest corner of the brick wall, and the smoke became heavier and he began to choke on his throat.
"What's the situation!"
"Where did the smoke come from?" I was startled and shouted at the smoking corridor.
"Cough! Cough!" Within a few minutes, I was so choked that I coughed.
The thick smoke had spread to the main tomb, and everyone ran out in panic. They were frightened when they saw this situation. Where did the cigarette come from?
"Get the things out first!"
Douyazi put the retrieved funeral items on his back and said, "Run quickly!" Someone outside wants to kill us!
There were thick smoke, and we covered our mouths with our clothes, and we entered the corridor one by one and crawled out anxiously. Everyone kept coughing, and Xiaoxuan followed me, choking her tears.
The closer I got to the exit, the more smoke became. I turned on the flashlight and saw a fire at the entrance of the corridor. A figure squatted beside him, covering his nose, and was stabbing the fire with a wooden stick.
The man found that we were all out. He immediately took a long stick and stabbed it in. The stick was sharp and sharp.
"Your mom! Cough!"
I choked and coughed, cursing: What the hell are you doing!"
The stick was stabbed with great force, and I climbed at the front of the team and couldn't get out at all! I was stabbed and retreated repeatedly.
This man was like using a bamboo pole to drive a duck, trying to drive us back, but due to the high tension and smoke, I couldn't see his face clearly.
If you can't get out, you will be choked to death by the smoke!
I was ruthless, seized the opportunity, grabbed the stick, and pulled it back desperately!
When the other party saw me grabbing the stick, he might be panicked and stabbed me even harder.
In the chaos, he stabbed my shoulder with a stick, which hurt so much that his bones were almost disintegrating.
"Wang!"
"Wang!"
Suddenly, a dog barking came from outside the corridor, screaming at us wildly.
"There is a dog?"
"It's that comparison!"
At this time, Douyazi behind me shouted: "It's the one who almost stabbed Xiaoxuan to death!"
As soon as Douyazi finished speaking, I saw a big dog crawling into the exit of the corridor. The man let the dog come in and bit us!
"Back back!"
"Back back!"
In such a narrow corridor, people were moving faster than dogs. The big dog bit my arm and bit my mouth to death. My left arm was instantly bitten and a lot of blood was bleeding.
"Fengzi!"
"Yunfeng!"
"Brother Feng!" Xiaoxuan, Xiaomi and Douyazi shouted loudly.
"Kill you and me!"
I had red eyes and strangled the dog's neck with my right hand, trying to strangle the beast to death.
Brother Yu shouted loudly and wanted to come over to help, but the corridor was too narrow. He walked at the end, with several people from Xiaoxuan and Xiaomi being separated by Xiaoxuan and Xiaomi, and he couldn't get through at all!
Many dogs would not let go after they were pulled down. I screamed and strangled the dog's neck hard. I reached out and touched another knife on the back of my waist, and then took out the knife and stabbed it hard! It slashed the dog's neck, and the blood spurted out made my face full of blood.
The beast hummed and screamed, and the mouth that bit my arm gradually relaxed.
Seeing that his dog was almost out of the way, the man suddenly crawled in outside the corridor and continued to poke the head of a stick in a hurry.
"knife!"
"Use your knife!" Brother Yu shouted at me anxiously from behind.
My upper body is covered with blood, my own blood, and my dog's blood, and I keep breathing.
Suddenly.
The man slid his feet with a stick, as if something was grabbing his feet behind him and was dragged out!
Chapter completed!
