Chapter 325 This tomb has been opened!
The style of the northern tomb robbers was very rough. They took out several searchlights and placed them on the ground, illuminating the inside of the tomb.
With the help of the strong light, Lin Ran finally saw the entire tunnel clearly.
The two stone pillars are supported by marble, and there are murals above the stone pillars.
It is different from ordinary Eastern Zhou tombs, mainly because Ji Shuang is also an informal person, and the design is relatively personalized.
This is the square in front of the mausoleum. The walls on both sides are made of ordinary bricks, which is completely opposite to the mausoleums with murals printed in the Tang Dynasty.
"Everyone, please pay attention to the danger." Qu Gui reminded the people around him.
There was no need to arrange detonators for the time being, so the fat man and another thin man were arranged to keep watch at the door to prevent the patrol from seeing them.
The rest of the people entered the tomb with him. The guy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked at the front. He squatted down to check the floor. His behavior was exactly the same as the treasure.
Obviously, he is also a tomb robber with a sect, and he has a lot of research on the mechanisms in the tomb!
They had seen this mausoleum many times from the outside, but this was their first time visiting the inside.
"Skinny Monkey, have you noticed anything unusual?" Qu Gui asked impatiently.
"There are no traps." The guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks replied: "There are few traps in the tombs of the Zhou Dynasty, but..."
He paused and said in a puzzled tone: "Generally speaking, this place has been sealed for thousands of years, and the oxygen concentration should be very low. However, we can't feel obvious lack of oxygen or discomfort when we come in, which means that this tomb was sealed not long ago. Opened it!”
Lin Ran noticed that the scarred man glanced at him secretly, but quickly pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Let's keep going forward."
"We can only look forward first." The thin monkey nodded and continued to explore the corridor.
Lin Ran became wary, and sure enough, the guy in front of him had already begun to doubt himself!
According to Lu Yingjie's notes, the northern tomb-robbery team usually has frequent turnover of personnel, so the level of trust in teammates is not high. Disagreements often arise within the tomb due to uneven distribution of stolen goods, resulting in infighting incidents.
This is true for team members, and it is even more inevitable for him as an outsider.
However, this team of tomb robbers was obviously better than Liu Jingfeng and others. There was a wall in front of the tomb, and they easily climbed over it.
He turned over and nimbly rolled into the tomb.
After confirming that there was no trap, Qu Gui replaced Shou Monkey and walked at the front of the team.
He also held a Luoyang shovel in his hand, tapping it on the ground and wall from time to time.
Lin Ran was invited to walk in the middle of the team. Ostensibly it was for his own good, but in fact it was so that he could keep an eye on him and see if he was doing anything secretly.
Until now, I have not been truly trusted by the team!
The long corridor finally came to an end, and a stone tablet appeared at his feet.
Qu Gui immediately squatted down and illuminated the stone tablet with his flashlight.
Special words are engraved on the stone tablet.
"Brother Lin, can you help me see if this stone tablet is worth anything?" Qu Gui couldn't understand the words on it at all, so he invited Lin Ran to help him take a look.
When he went to the tomb a few days ago, Lin Ran hadn't noticed the stone tablet yet and focused all his energy on the protection of cultural relics.
He walked to the stone tablet and looked at the strange words on the stone tablet.
In fact, he couldn't recognize it completely, after all, it was engraved with gold inscriptions.
The Western Zhou Dynasty was a unified period, and writing also had conventions.
But by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the economy, culture, and systems of various regions had changed, and each country had its own writing.
Lin Ran could only answer truthfully: "Actually, I don't recognize the characters on it either. It should be a large seal script, but the large seal script includes bronze inscriptions, Zhou inscriptions and stone drum inscriptions. I have little talent and knowledge, and I can't recognize all the characters on it for the time being."
This answer did not satisfy Qu Gui, and the people behind him laughed.
"We don't care what it says? Just that it's authentic?"
Of course the tomb robbers are not interested in history, they are only interested in money!
Unexpectedly, he even stole the stone tablet. Lin Ran sighed secretly and said, "This should be a cultural relic of the Zhou Dynasty, but it's so heavy. How are you going to get it out?"
"Don't worry about this, we will find a solution soon." Qu Gui made a mark on it, and then the group continued to move forward.
That stone tablet cannot be taken away by tomb robbers. It probably records the detailed life of the tomb owner. He does not want this history to be buried.
In fact, it was just a test by Qu Gui and others.
All they need is a palm eye. With a master appraiser following them to the tomb, they don't have to worry about missing the treasure.
After the trial, other people's attitude towards Lin Ran improved significantly.
I'm not watching as closely as I did at the beginning.
Qu Gui said with a smile: "Actually, we have been to many tombs in the Zhou Dynasty. They are basically small tombs, but there are many valuable things inside. We will definitely make a fortune from such a big tomb this time. "
When they reached the intersection of the corridor, a stone door blocked everyone.
In fact, he had already found the switch of the stone door yesterday, which was on the light stand next to it.
However, he must not show it.
After the group of tomb robbers saw the stone door, they first tried to find the switch, and then tried to pry it open directly with shovels, but to no avail.
At this time, Shouhou suggested: "Boss, it's just a stone gate. Let's just blow it open."
"Okay, go and call Fatty here." Qu Gui ordered his subordinates.
"Wait a minute, are you planning to blow up the tomb here?" Lin Ran stopped his action.
"Well, what's wrong?" Qu Gui looked at Lin Ran and asked.
"What if I put a bomb here and bury all the tunnels?" Lin Ran looked anxious.
Qu Gui laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, we have already blown up many tombs. We just need to control the amount and blow open the stone door."
After saying that, he winked at his younger brother and asked him to call Fatty.
Lin Ran couldn't tell them the location of the agency directly. Wouldn't that be like throwing himself into a trap?
So, when the tomb robbers went out to call for people, a group of them chatted at the stone gate.
Lin Ran saw the tomb robber he had seen before in Liulichang resting next to the evergreen lantern. He pretended to be casual and leaned over and gave him a push.
"You're looking for death!" The man pushed Lin Ran back angrily. He already had a problem with Lin Ran, but now he dared to provoke him?
Lin Ran rubbed his head and said, "Sorry, I tripped over a stone just now."
"Xu Feng, don't be unreasonable." Seeing that Xu Feng was going to cause trouble for him, Qu Gui immediately stood up to break up the fight.
But at this moment, the stone door slowly opened.
Just now, Lin Ran bumped into the man on purpose. In fact, he pulled down the switch of the permanent light while the other person was not paying attention.
Everyone was stunned.
"Who touched the mechanism?"
The style of the northern tomb robbers was very rough. They took out several searchlights and placed them on the ground, illuminating the inside of the tomb.
With the help of the strong light, Lin Ran finally saw the entire tunnel clearly.
