Forty-seventh corpse sculpture
The rain stopped, and the prairie returned to its former peace. The sun gradually showed its head from the horizon, and the entire earth was shining with silver light.
The people who were stunned by He Zhan Peng in the laboratory might have to sleep for a while. Wushuang was not sure that the curse left them because of the stolen jade clothes. But now it seems that although they can't get up, they have not had any uneven breath.
"Master Shuang, please think of a solution, what should we do? Should I report this matter?" Professor Mo Nalou was in a mess and didn't know what to do.
"Did you take the blame yourself? Don't report it. Maybe there will be a turning point. I have already asked my people to pay attention. As long as he dares to appear in Korqin, he will definitely not be able to escape. I will go to this Khitan ancient tomb next. Should you accompany me or let her? I hope you have time." Wushuang refused to change his mind. He was not thinking about helping the archaeological team, but wanted to take the opportunity to see if there was any oil and water below before scraping him a layer.
"Hmph! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? We are all leaving, then your people in this camp will come and you will not stop you from robbing anything." Chu Tianyue glared at Wushuang.
"I am not interested in you archaeological equipment. If I want to grab it, I asked my brothers to do it just now. Do you still need to wait? Professor, I think you can stay. There are all my people nearby, and it is safe for the time being. Only you can open the door to this laboratory." Wushuang suggested.
"Okay, Master Shuang, Tianyue is a stubborn child. You should be more responsible. Before she set out, she studied a lot of books about Beihu culture. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can also ask her. Tianyue, don't doubt Master Shuang anymore. He is my friend, we are a friend of life and death. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask me immediately on the walkie-talkie." Professor Monalou sent them both to the entrance of the tomb passage until he watched them approach the dark tomb passage with archaeological equipment on their backs.
After entering the tomb passage, the first thing that caught Wushuang's eyes was the wolf carving totem in the photo. There were two Hu people sitting upright on the wolf's back, but they were not human heads. This is a typical Khitan totem. Khitans worship wolves because this animal is fierce and united. Even lions and tigers have to give in to wolves, which is very similar to the spirit of their nation.
"Don't hurry to go in." Wushuang grabbed Chu Tianyue. This was the fourth time that Chu Tianyue had entered the tomb passage of the Khitan ancient tomb. Although I saw this strange totem carving a few times, I didn't take it seriously. The teacher said that the stone statue on the totem with the human body and beast head may be the shape of an evil god worshipped by the Khitans.
"What's so good about it? Have you never seen the totem of the Khitans?" She glanced at Wushuang and looked back. Wushuang had jumped onto the wolf's body and was observing the stone statue of the human body and beast head above.
"I have seen a lot of totems, but I have never seen this wave-tou people. You guys have learned too much knowledge in books, and sometimes I learn it stupidly. Practice is the most important thing. Come on, come and take a look." He reached out and pulled Chu Tianyue up, pointed at the neck of the person, and told her, and take a closer look. The mud here is not smooth, and it seems that the whole sculpture is not built at one time. Look, there is a very small cut here, which shows that the wave-tou was built with plaster the day after tomorrow.
As he said that, Wushuang took out his dagger and began to scrape the plaster on the waves bit by bit. The dagger was extremely sharp, but it wasn't it scratched the layers one by one!
"Hey! Don't touch it! These are all cultural relics, and you will be in the exhibition hall in the future! Can you afford to lose if you break it?" Chu Tianyue wanted to stop him, but she couldn't hold Wushuang at all. He was a strong man and was much more powerful than her.
After a few moments, a thick layer of plaster was hung, and white paste mud was exposed inside. The white paste mud seemed to be penetrated with dark red substances and had a slight smell of rottenness.
"Ah?" Chu Tianyue was shocked. She understood what this meant. She covered her mouth and jumped down. She didn't dare to look at it again. She could already predict what was in this strange totem stone sculpture.
Wushuang worked for a while, and in the end, there was only a layer of sticky foul-mouthed mud substance left on the surface of the clay sculpture. He tapped it gently with the hilt of the knife, and with a sound, all the substances wrapped around the surface of the strange sculpture fell off to the ground. Inside, a corpse was exposed. The corpse had already rotted into a bone, but he was still wearing a silver armor.
"See it? You missed too many things. What mechanism would have been hidden in this wolf totem when you first came in?"
Chu Tianyue could only lower her head and remained silent this time. She was speechless. Compared with this profession, these archaeological graduates did not have any practical experience. In fact, although the two professions looked very similar, they had essential differences.
Archaeologists should be careful when excavating ancient tombs. Every craft or even corpses or murals found in the ancient tombs must be cleaned out bit by bit, and try to preserve them as completely as possible and take them back for detailed research. Their principle is to protect and not destroy them. Tomb robbers are different. Tomb robbers must enter the main tomb chamber of the ancient tomb in the shortest time. The most important thing for them is not to protect cultural relics but their own life safety. Everything must be based on safety, and finally, to take away the most valuable craft in the shortest time.
"Whose body would be?" Chu Tianyue asked.
"I don't know either. Maybe it's just the guards guarding the ancient tomb. Look, the wolf totem stone sculpture is divided into two left and right, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the entrance of the ancient tomb. I guess they were the most trusted generals around the tomb owner at the beginning." Wushuang said.
He told Chu Tianyue that things are called corpse sculptures. Generally, there are many ethnic tombs at the entrances. Some are even big rice dumplings, and they are pounding with their teeth and claws.
"You... don't scare me! How is that possible? It's been so many years, and human life has reached its limit." Compared to Wushuang, this top student in archaeology is indeed too tender and doesn't believe it, but she has already started to tremble all over.
"Why are you lying to? Your teacher teaches you all in books. How can you write big rice dumplings in books? If you don't believe it, go back and ask. Last time we met in the ancient city of Khan Temple, your teacher saw it with your own eyes."
"Yes...yes...but even if there are living people inside, what's the use of this corpse eagle? Didn't you still destroy the cultural relics?" Chu Tianyue asked.
