Chapter 149 Mutation
There was a strong putrid smell coming from the coffin, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
Even through a gas mask, I can't resist it.
Zhuang Zheng retched several times, but nothing came out, but his face turned pale for a while.
"This stinks too much!" Zhuang Zheng complained.
He Da seemed to be mentally prepared. He chuckled and said, "Brother Zhuang, it's your first time to go to the ground. It's normal that you're not used to the smell. I've seen worse smells! This coffin has been opened and sealed.
If it's not done well, the body will naturally rot."
As He Da spoke, he pushed the gap in the coffin lid wider.
Halfway through the push, He Da stopped and took out a flashlight to shine into the sarcophagus.
Zhuang Zheng almost vomited again.
In the stone coffin, a pool of rotting corpse water was rippling, like gutter oil, but it was clearer than the gutter oil. You could see the bones and rotten clothes at the bottom of the corpse water.
"It's so rotten!" He Da muttered, but he didn't care about the corpse water. He used a flashlight and lowered his head to look for something in the corpse water.
Zhuangzheng would never dare to touch this thing. The key is that it is too disgusting.
He Da and the monkey, each wearing rubber gloves, stirred in the corpse water.
Like two pond workers catching loaches in the mud, they found a piece of rotten silk fabric and threw it away.
Take a solemn look at those silk fabrics, which should be the brocade quilts wrapped around the corpse. Even though the original appearance has been corroded by time, the exquisite silk thread structure can still be vaguely seen.
Ordinary people would never be able to afford this kind of high-quality brocade quilt. There is no doubt that the owner of this tomb is a big shot.
"Hey, there are words on the inner wall of the stone coffin!" He Da fumbled around and touched the words on the inner wall of the stone coffin.
"Gao Ju, Fang Chun, Cun, Zhong... are all magical things!"
He Da groped around and recognized the writing on the inner wall of the stone coffin by the touch of his hands.
These are some common funeral compliments and have no practical meaning.
But it is not helpful in discovering the identity of the owner of the tomb.
"Huh? There's a token here!" He Da took advantage of the situation and found a token in the stone coffin.
Zhuang Zheng hurriedly took a photo with his flashlight.
What He Da took out was a bronze token. The surface was covered with patina, but the quality was not very good.
It’s no wonder that this token wasn’t taken away by the last wave of tomb robbers. It wouldn’t be worth much if it was in this condition.
The token is in the shape of a unicorn. The unicorn's body and abdomen are engraved with characters, all in traditional regular script.
The Sui and Tang Dynasties were the period of modern writing. Official script, cursive script, and running script were all widely used, but regular script was the official font.
Based on this token, there is no doubt that the tomb is from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"This is the Lin Talisman, which is also the Tiger Talisman often mentioned in TV dramas. Only generals and emperors have this thing. One person has half of it. Only when the two halves are put together can the army be mobilized. There is a Lin Talisman in this coffin. Could it be that this tomb is
A general's?" Zhuang Zhong looked at the token and explained to He Da.
"It shouldn't belong to the general. No general would dare to use the 24-pole halberd system. It must have something to do with the royal family." Monkey retorted.
"Hey, is this the name of the token owner?" Suddenly, He Da pointed at the bottom of the talisman and said.
Zhuang Zhong went up to take a look and saw the word "Zhu Xie" carved under the belly of the Qilin Soldier Talisman.
"Zhu Xie? Who is this?" Monkey shook his head, but he couldn't think of such a person in history.
After pondering solemnly for a while, he suddenly said: "I remembered it! You may not know Zhu Xie, but you must know Liu Yuanjin, right?"
"Liu Yuanjin, the leader of the rebel army in the late Sui Dynasty?" the monkey replied.
"Yes, that's him! This Zhu Xie is none other than Liu Yuanjin's general. He and Guan Chong supported 70,000 troops and elected Liu Yuanjin as emperor. The two of them fought against the Sui Dynasty together. They were regarded as the uprising army at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
He was a relatively powerful figure among them. Unfortunately, Zhu Xie later died in battle, and Liu Yuanjin was left alone after losing one of his generals, and was soon beheaded by Wang Shichong."
"Oh, so this tomb belongs to Zhu Xie? No wonder he used the half-emperor style. It should have been specially built for him by Liu Yuanjin in recognition of his achievements. After all, he can be regarded as half-emperor.
"The monkey suddenly realized.
"Well, that should be it. When Zhu Xie and five thousand soldiers were killed in Huangshan, the group of sinister soldiers we met were probably formed by the resentment of the five thousand soldiers. And if the Zanglu Bureau was shaken by others, it could also be
Explained. Obviously Liu Yuanjin found this hidden treasure for Zhu Xie
However, he did not want Zhu Xie’s descendants to be too wealthy and affect his own country, so he asked an expert to remove the sand and change the location of the auspicious point in Zanglu Bureau. In this way, although there was wealth and honor, the
If you are limited to the position of general, you cannot become the destined emperor."
Zhuang Zheng patted his head and immediately understood the key.
"Hey, it doesn't matter what they do, as long as they have good stuff! Come on, feel around to see if there's anything else inside. This broken token is worthless at first sight!" He Dah threw the talisman on the ground with a clang.
Zhuang Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although this Lin Talisman is made of bronze, its appearance has been corroded, and it cannot be sold for much money. However, its historical value is immeasurable, and it represents a hidden history. If those archaeologists knew about it, they would definitely rush for it like crazy.
.
He Da just threw it away like scrap metal, which was a waste of natural resources.
Zhuang Zhong bent down to pick up the Linfu, shook his head and said, "Brother He, although this thing is not in good condition, it has certain research value and can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan."
"Research value? It can't be used as food. Since Brother Zhuang likes this thing, you can take it away. However, our previous agreement above can be regarded as fulfilled." He Da rolled his eyes and said.
After hearing He Da's words, Zhuang Zheng could not help but secretly curse He Da for being treacherous.
Previously, He Da promised Zhuang Zhong that the first thing he touched belonged to Zhuang Zhong. Now he saw Zhuang Zhong pick up the Lin Talisman, but he borrowed Po Xia's donkey and directly gave Zhuang Zhong this worthless thing.
"Okay, then I want this thing. If I really find something good, I won't be embarrassed to take it all by myself. This little thing is just right and won't hurt the relationship between us." Zhuangzhong removed the corpse water on the Lin Talisman.
Wipe it clean and put it away.
"Damn, what are these? They are all rotten tablets! What kind of leader of the rebel army? What nonsense! The tablets in the emperor's tomb are all made of jade, and they are not rotten. He made some wooden ones, which is simply embarrassing.
!" He Da complained.
No regard for the feelings of the dead.
You just dug out someone's tomb and complained about the poor burial goods. Do you have any professional ethics?
"Boss, I touched something!" the monkey suddenly shouted.
Then I saw the monkey fidgeting in the corpse water for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and opened his palm.
Zhuang Zhong took a look and saw a jade copper coin in the monkey's hand. There was a hint of blood in the jade flesh, which was regarded as a bloody jade coin.
The condition is quite good and it is considered a relatively valuable item.
"This is advance money!" Zhuang Zhong saw the origin of the thing at a glance.
Seeing that the two people were puzzled, Zhuang Zhong continued to explain: "Pushing money on the back is a common Feng Shui method during burials. There are seven coins in total, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. The head of the spoon is on the person's head. If the owner of the coffin is a man,
The head of the spoon is facing left,
On the other hand, women face to the right. The purpose of carrying money is to allow the deceased to have money to spend in the underworld, and on the other hand, it is to guide the soul to ascend. The Big Dipper is like a flying dragon, symbolizing that a person will become a dragon after death and will naturally be reincarnated.
Become rich and wealthy."
"A total of seven? This is only one, which means there are six more in it?" He Da said, reaching in and groping for a while.
Sure enough, the remaining advance money was fished out in a short time.
However, it is not six, but thirteen!
"Thirteen? How could it be thirteen? Could it be that there are two people in this coffin?" solemnly asked in confusion.
"If there are really two people, they should be buried together. But according to historical records, this Zhu Xie never married a wife. Could it be possible..."
As he said that, Zhuang Zheng's expression suddenly changed.
"Is it possible?" He Da couldn't help but asked when he saw Zhuang Zhong suddenly stopped talking.
"Could it be that this is a ghost marriage?!"
09 "What?!" After hearing solemn words, He Da and Monkey were stunned at the same time.
09 Tombs are always prone to accidents, but tombs equipped with ghost marriages are even more weird. Because in the old days, many dignitaries’ ghost marriages were directly buried with living people!
09 How much resentment would a person who was directly suffocated to death have? How could something happen?
09Zhuang Zhong and the others all felt a little chill running down their spines.
