Chapter 28: Liao Tomb
Clay pots left for a long time, will be very fragile, a poke will break into crumbs, can not put things, but also can not be used as a curio ornamental, I believe that 50 cents two are no one willing to take.
While Shorty and Big Head were reveling in the piles and piles of clay pots, I took a cursory look at the chamber, from the overall structure, it is an oval, on both sides, in addition to clay pots, there are some weapons and wooden shelves, there are no murals on the walls.
According to what the antique store owner said, this is most likely a Liao Dynasty burial chamber, judging from the structure and the size of the chamber, this is definitely a nobleman's burial.
It's just a pity that at the moment, this burial chamber is all a pile of broken copper and iron, there's nothing of value, it's a good thing that no coffin has been found, or else I would have turned around and gone back in disappointment.
"You two laugh your asses off, these jars are all junk, they're not worth anything, let's move forward and take another look!"
Shorty did not seem to believe my words, reached out and cupped a jar, I did not expect to only touch, that jar instantly disintegrated, along with the pile of jars clicked a few times, turned into a pile of slag, fell all over the ground.
"Holy shit, really fucking bad luck, this thing can't even be touched, more delicate than a woman!"
Shorty was horrified, looking at the debris all over the ground, he cursed, I was worried that there might be poisonous spiders or snakes or something in the jar, I hurriedly rushed over, yanked him to the side, shone the flashlight on a pile of slag, and saw that nothing came out, and only then did I send a sigh of relief and said.
"Don't fucking touch, this kind of place, there are organs, the three of us are not the seventy-two changes of the Sun Monkey, that the head fell off, can not grow back!"
I help shorty, followed by big head, slowly walk forward, the gloomy atmosphere in the chamber presses me a little breathless, shorty but grinning, I thought to myself, he was born only afraid to be a thief, to this place actually still happy to come out?
The big head walked cautiously, and after passing through an archway, I was stunned by the sight in front of me.
"This ...... this ...... this is all valuable stuff, we are rich, haha ......"
Shorty laughed loudly, laughed with abandon, I knocked on his brain, pointing to the well-preserved coffin in the middle and said.
"Look at you guys, this is the main burial chamber, except for the things in the coffin, the other stuff is not worth anything, let's not take it, open it!"
I admit, this tomb room is indeed luxurious, both sides of the wall below the wooden display shelves, on which there are many strange and bizarre objects, armor, utensils, horse whips ...... However, these things look very ordinary, most of them are just a shape, and will break if touched.
Big head spit a mouthful of spit in the hand, rubbed a few hands, squat down, reach out on the coffin, deep inhalation of a mouth, huffing and puffing a few times, want to move the lid of the coffin, but riveted, hold red face, the coffin is like not moving, angry he got up and kicked the coffin, cursing and saying.
"What the fuck, shorty, come and help!"
Shorty carried a hoe and knocked the coffin hard, only to hear a bang, sparks splashed up, he was surprised, and immediately touched the coffin, and muttered.
"big head, not the old man said you, this is the stone, you damn have to push open only strange, we have to work together!"
Hearing shorty say this, I am more sure that this is the tomb of the Liao dynasty, that period of the tomb prevalent sarcophagus, coupled with the Khitans domination, nomadic atmosphere, so the tomb has so many utensils and whips.
Touching the seal on my chest, I took a few deep breaths, squatted by the coffin and prayed silently for a few moments before glaring at Shorty and Big Head and said.
"Don't be ambiguous, open it together with force, we don't have much time!"
Three laborers, six big powerful hands, on the coffin, we shouted together, "one ...... two ...... three ...... ", and so shouted to three, this is the force, the coffin滋了几声, the side revealed a slit, the inside immediately wafted out a cool breath, scared me back of the neck cold, hastily let go, scampered up and said.
"Quickly get out of the way, toxic smoke!"
I just finished, only to open a slit nourished a burst of white smoke, scared the three brothers rolled back to the outside, may be the three of us have hit the evil, extremely sensitive to this type of thing, shorty immediately hid behind me, poking me in the back and said.
"Brother Shanzi, do you think there is a ghost ah, how cool!"
"Look at your goatish look, where is the ghost, that is the poisonous smoke, wait for it to disperse before we go in!"
Big head and I stood side by side, looking at the coffin inside, the head will not curse the shorty, I looked at him sideways, he said so, but his face is all panic, the big head looks not only no previous spirit, but through the withered look.
I was startled, and knowing that he had inhaled the poisonous fumes, I hastily pulled him along, backing away, while shouting at the top of my voice.
"Move back further, the white smoke is poisonous!"
Shorty's leg was already injured, listening to me say this, may be too anxious, accidentally stumbled and fell to the ground, holding his feet on the painful wail, I could not help him up in time, pulling his hand, dragging it forward vigorously, knowing that backing up to the outside of the first archway before stopping.
Big Head was already groggy, I was panting heavily while pinching him as hard as I could, but unfortunately he still had his head lolled and passed out on the ground.
"Damn, that hurts!"
I took a look at Shorty, his foot was probably broken, and had swollen like a radish, walked up, sat on the ground next to him, took his shoes off and looked at them, and said helplessly.
"Shorty, this is good, big head is unconscious, you have become a cripple, it seems that I can only go in alone!"
Because it is not clear that the composition of the poisonous smoke, I do not dare to rashly rescue the big head, but after thinking about it, this kind of poisonous smoke may be the opening of the coffin, resulting in a mixture of the two chemicals issued, because the poisonous smoke is placed in the coffin can not be stored for a long time, thinking about it, I did not pay too much attention to big head's things, just sitting beside the shorty silently waiting for the right time.
What I didn't expect was that Chen Hui actually came down as well, when she called out to me, I almost fell asleep, seeing the torch in her hand shaking, I hurriedly stood up and also shook the torch in response to her cursing.
"What are you doing down there, it's dangerous, get back!"
"It's dark outside, I'm afraid!"
Chen Hui returned a sentence to me, continued to walk towards me, I heard that the sky is dark, immediately anxious like ants in a hot pot, if I wait and delay, I am afraid that it will cause suspicion of others.
I patted Shorty, took the hoe from him, patted his shoulder, pointed at Chen Hui who was walking over and said.
"You the hell, watch her and big head, I'll go in alone, we several big living people, can still call a dead person to bluff the main?"
Finished, I also do not care shorty agree or not, carrying a hoe, holding a torch, re-walked in, may be just released the poisonous smoke, the smell in the crypt is a little strange, moldy with a hint of sour, I cover my nose, do not dare to breathe too hard, into the main crypt, the smell inside has become very light.
"Sure enough, it's mixed with chemicals, heck, I still can't fight a dead man?"
I thought about it, poked the hoe into the crack of the coffin, and then waist horse unity, straining to pry the lid outward, with the creaking sound, the lid was opened by me enough to reach in a hand, I just stopped, squatted by the crack, raised the flashlight to shine inside.
Many people think that the coffin will be zombies or some kind of monster, in fact, not, there is only a black, paste-like dirt, seal thought this may be the body rotted into slag, so boldly put his hand in, in a pile of disgusting sticky paste to touch up.
In fact, I was very afraid, worried about touching snakes and insects and other things, my mind floated to the fingertips of the female ghost bites bloody situation, the brain and back are full of sweat, clothes instantly soaked through.
Even so, I did not retract my hand, from the head of the coffin all the way to the end of the coffin, there are no bones, there are no monsters, and there is no valuable stuff, which makes me very disappointed.
"Damn, I don't believe it anymore, such a big tomb, it's impossible that there's not even a single porcelain, once again!"
I don't die, once again put my hand in, this time is different from last time, my whole arm went in, if say a zombie suddenly popped up inside, or a poisonous snake appeared, I will definitely die a miserable death.
Good thing my luck was good, actually touched a bottle with a carrying ring in the position of the head of the coffin, wrapped in a layer of black dirt on the top, I don't know what it is, put it to one side, I then touched inside again, touching and touching, my hand was suddenly a little warm.
"What is it?"
I was taken aback, and hastily retracted my hand back, but on second thought, my heart was not willing to do so, so I reached my hand in again, and pulled out the thing with the warmth.
Even though it was wrapped in dirt, the thing in my hand still managed to cast a very nice reddish light, it was about a foot long and a palm wide, and when I held it in my hand, it was warm and a little heavy.
I thought about it, took my clothes off, and rubbed it against the two objects all at once, and when I was done, I looked at the two objects, and got excited all at once.
"Damn, finally is not in vain, these two things, look comfortable, should be worth some money!"
The bottle with the ring-shaped handle, the handle is like a cock's crown, grayish-white background, the top is a golden yellow, very beautiful.
The other one is a piece of blood-colored jade, without a trace of miscellaneous colors on the whole body, and there are several very ancient words engraved on it, and there is a warm feeling when touching it.
Carefully put away the things, I pry the lid of the coffin over and cover it up, see that there is no trace left behind, and only then excitedly walked out.
Big head had already woken up, seeing me come out from inside, he hurriedly stood up, looked at me and asked.
"Quickly go out, we can't stay here anymore!"
I nodded, looked at the cigarette butts on the ground and said to Shorty: "You damn it, clean up everything we brought in, don't leave traces for people to find us, after some time, I have to come back to this place again!"
