Chapter 9 Bad Luck

I was surprised and said, "Is this... this is the treasure head?"

There are 7 types of ancient tombs, arch top, flat top, voucher top, initiation top, tower top, treasure top, and one type we call "beer top".

The top area of ​​the beer is very small, and the surrounding area is raised by a brick several dozen centimeters, like the lid of a can beer bottle.

I have only heard from Baoding that this is the first time I have seen a real thing. This form was temporarily popular in the middle and late Liao Dynasty, and it was rare in the Central Plains.

Lao Zhang used his headlight to illuminate the bricks under his feet, turned to ask me, "Brother, how can we go down with such a thick brick?"

I said, "It's easy to deal with. These are hollow bricks. Just use the shovel head to lift it up and you can quickly open a hole. If you don't believe it, try it."

After hearing this, Lao Zhang immediately set out to pry it out, but as a result, he almost fell down because the arc of the place where he stood was too big.

I quickly grabbed him with my eyes and hands.

I tried five or six times before finally pried open a hollow brick.

Seeing the bricks pried open one by one, Lao Zhang lowered his head and said, "It's so dark below, you can't see anything."

"Don't worry, there is still time before dawn. Wait ten minutes to let the air circulate inside."

Lao Zhang's face was covered in dirt and he rubbed his hands excitedly.

Compared to him, I was much calmer and had no worries in my heart. I squatted down and lit a cigarette.

There was no paste mud found in the soil, and bricks like this would definitely seep water, so I was not worried about biogas methane or something.

Seeing me sucking, Lao Zhang asked, "Is it okay?"

I said it was okay, and he couldn't help but sing one.

After smoking, he casually pressed out the cigarette butt in the stolen hole.

I feel that the ventilation time is almost over, so I'll tell you to put it off first and don't fall.

After going down there was a very narrow tomb passage, and the tomb passage was not straight. When I called the headlight and saw that it was a turn not far away.

If you look at the tomb passage from where we just came down, you will find that the shape is a strange "knife handle shape".

The tomb passage was cold and dark. I didn't see any other thieves that were pierced. The tomb probably hadn't been stolen. It was a new pot.

He lowered his head and walked through the tomb passage, turned left and saw the tomb door.

It is very rare. The one used to seal the door is square wood, which is usually sealed with bricks.

As long as it is not a scary Vajra Gate like Gui Zailing, this kind of square wooden sealing door is of little significance to me, and I can "click to open" the method.

"well?"

"Brother, look at what that is?"

I was about to open the square wood, but Lao Zhang suddenly pointed at the door and asked me to see it. He said there was a hole in the door.

I looked up and saw that, indeed, someone took in a row of brick walls on the top of the square wood and made a niche.

You can see that around the niche, the bricks were dyed light red, like the long-term immersion of cinnabar.

It was too high, I reached out and tried it and couldn't reach it.

"What? Is it an urn that pretended to be dead in ancient times?" Lao Zhang asked.

I glared at him and said, "Don't say the word "death" to others in the tomb, it's unlucky...

"Old Zhang, squat down, I'll step on your shoulder and go see if there are any burial objects in the alcove."

"No problem, come on."

Lao Zhang immediately squatted down and asked me to step on his shoulder.

He pushed me up and I lit the lights into the alcove.

"What's this?"

The niche is not deep, and a small wooden tower is placed under the thick ash. The height of the small wooden tower is less than 15 cm. The holes around the wooden tower are covered with cinnabar, which is red.

Also, on the right side of this small wooden tower, a copper wine utensil was placed. The wine utensil was a strange shape. People in the industry called this type of tool "Shangwan".

Have you seen it or don't understand it, let me give you an example.

"Shanglu" is like a piece of melon, cut in half, and then take out this half of the melon separately and put two ears on the left and right, just like that.

Seeing that I was not moving, Lao Zhang couldn't help it. He grabbed my ankle and said loudly: "Do you have anything? Get it quickly! My calves are cramped!"

I took out all the things, hugged them in my arms and jumped down.

Old Zhang hurried over and said, "Let me see what treasure you have found."

To lower the light, I carefully studied the small wooden tower.

It doesn't matter if you don't think it's right, you're shocked when you see it.

There are obviously words under the red cinnabar.

And there are two types of characters, namely Xixia and Chinese.

A row of Western Xia texts with complicated strokes are engraved on the wooden tower, with old cinnabar in the grooves of the strokes, just like ghost paintings, and they cannot understand them at all.

On the other side, perhaps the person who made wooden pagodas could not write, so he engraved a few words in official script.

The third character in this row of official script is very vague and can't be seen clearly.

I tried to chant: "Muyuan...what, what...Little Dogbao House?"

A sudden flash of inspiration in my mind.

I see.

This is not the tomb of Liao and Jin, this is the tomb of purebred Xixia!

This thing is the Muyuan Tower!

It can be preserved completely without being bad, which is a miracle.

I looked up and looked at the niche on the door again, guessing that this was "Lingshu".

It's OK, it's the coffin!

This small wooden tower called Muyuan Tower was only found in the Xixia tomb group. In the 1970s, this small wooden tower was also found at the foot of the Helan Mountains. According to the interpretations of relevant experts at that time, the specific use should be

Used to store some important documents for the tomb owner during his lifetime.

In Sichuan, there are many good nanmu that has not been rotten for thousands of years. This Muyuan Tower is made of nanmu.

Before I came down, I didn't expect that this was actually a Xixia tomb.

Before Kangding, the Xixia tomb was not in the territory of Xixia. It means that more than 700 years ago, people from Xixia lived here and were buried here after their death.

"Little Dog Bao House..."

Little Dogbao should be a Xixia person.

The surnames of the Xixia people, including Dangxiang people, are strange, such as "Wuzang", "Tuoba", "Bianyi", etc.

The "House" is easy to understand. This tomb is the home he lived in after his death.

"Help me take it."

Lao Zhang took my flashlight and helped lighting it.

I reached out and found that there was a very narrow small door directly behind the wooden tower, which was designed with a chute, and could be pushed up with one force.

After pushing it away, I suddenly found that what was placed inside was piles of folded and yellowed hemp paper.

The shabby hemp paper is reflected in black brush calligraphy. Due to its proper preservation, most of the handwriting is still clearly visible after more than 700 years.

I pulled out one and opened it carefully, for fear that it would break with force.

It is written in Chinese.

"Everyone has a house and a land in Xiaotubao's house. It is not allowed to be sold to others before it is redeemed.

"If you sell it in violation of the law, an official will punish one horse and a commoner will thirteen sticks."

"The money you get is given all the principal and profits, and then you are allowed to sell it separately."

"If the principal and profit are not given, you can sell it to others, and the principal and profit will not come. Miyaojijiji's three houses in the east belong to Xiaonubao's house. Both parties will leave certificates to each other.

There is a signature below, and you can still see clearly, of course the red handprints left by the seal.

The two parties signed are Xiaotubao and an ancient man named Xiong Min.

I pulled out another one and opened it to read.

This picture is not good inside, it is just a little alkaline, the handwriting is blurred and unclear, and some of the text is difficult to identify, but the last few lines can be seen clearly.

I lowered my headlight and looked at it word by word.

When I saw the last two words, I felt my scalp numb and threw the hemp paper on the ground!

Seeing that I threw it away, Lao Zhang wanted to bend over to pick it up, but I grabbed him!

Lao Zhang was puzzled and turned around and said, "What's wrong, brother? This is a cultural relic. Isn't it that ancient calligraphy and paintings are valuable? Why did you lose it? It's a waste."

"If you don't want to be unlucky, go and pick it up. I won't stop you, damn..."

I cursed inwardly, spitting into my palms, rubbing my hands back and forth.

Living people are not good to see this thing, let alone to see it, because it is too unlucky.

This is Zhang "Ming Qi".

I told me before that the three things in the ancient tomb are the most unlucky ones, namely, "The tomb-controlling beast with human face and eyes, the pillow under the dead head, and the last one is the Paper Demon Creation."

"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I spit three mouthfuls in a row and drew a cross on my chest, hoping that I would not get unlucky.
