Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Jiang Nanle smiled and entered the tunnel.

He supported himself with his hands and feet and slowly descended the cave wall.

I also tied the rope and took the sword buried with Guard Jiang from Cui Hao.

"Mouse, no matter what happens, don't go down there."

"elder brother……"

Without waiting for Cui Hao to finish his words, I followed him into the tunnel.

Old Li rushed to the cave entrance anxiously: "Brother Chen, is it dangerous in the tomb?"

He still couldn't bear to part with the treasure in the tomb.

Even though they knew there were evil things in the tomb, they still hoped to make a quick buck.

"I've said everything that needs to be said."

"I advise you not to come down."

"At least don't come down until I get out alive."

After saying that, I continued to go down.

But Lao Li's voice could be heard intermittently.

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. Who among the tomb robbers would believe in evil?"

"If you really believed in evil, you wouldn't rob tombs!"

"This guy must be playing tricks on me, he doesn't want me to go down and get the treasure!"

"Daquan, you're such a coward! You scared me to death by the tomb door! You've completely disgraced me!"

"Ershuan, go down and see if the tomb door will bleed!"

Old Li is still the same as always.

Both greedy and afraid of death.

He said he didn't believe in evil, but he was too scared to come down by himself.

I only dared to let my apprentice come down to explore the way.

At this time, I was almost at the bottom of the cave, and I used my legs to push against the wall to stop my body.

Then he looked at Jiang Nanle at the bottom of the cave.

She was standing in front of the tomb door, staring at it.

I also looked at the blood-red tomb door.

It is indeed very red, but it is brighter than the color of blood.

It looks like a layer of cinnabar was applied on the tomb door.

The most peculiar thing is that there is a pair of copper door knockers in the middle of the tomb door, and a large brass lock is hung on the door knockers in the mouths of the door knockers.

Pu Shou is a door knocker, which was an important decoration on ancient doors.

It is often depicted as a ring holding in the mouth of a ferocious beast such as Taotie, Chilong, tiger, or lion, so there is a term called "Poushou Holding a Ring".

Because the ancients believed that death was as important as life, door knockers were also used on tomb doors.

However, it is rare to see a padlock on the door of a tomb.

It’s obvious that the person who put the lock wanted to lock up the things in the tomb!

Jiang Nanle lifted the copper lock with his fingers.

I could vaguely see something engraved on the copper lock: "What's engraved on the lock?"

Jiang Nanle stared at the words on the lock and read: "There is no wealth in the tomb. Gentlemen, please do not come. The evil spirits are sealed. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed."

After she finished speaking, she shook the lock.

The lock and the door knocker collided with a crisp clang.

This practice of leaving messages for tomb robbers has existed since ancient times.

For example, Liu Zhu, the sixth King of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty, was buried in the Guishan Han Tomb.

A letter to the tomb robbers was specially engraved on the stone blocking the tomb passage to persuade them to stop.

He cried and swore that there was nothing valuable in his tomb, and advised future tomb robbers not to dig up his tomb.

This kind of letter of dissuasion will instead serve as a cover-up, making tomb robbers believe that there is a big treasure inside.

Jiang Nanle put down the copper lock and stood close to the tomb door.

Then he waved to me and said, "I've made room for you. Come down quickly."

She is really thin with a flat front and a flat back.

Standing right next to the tomb door, there was actually space enough for me to stand.

I slowly descended to the bottom of the cave.

When my feet touched the ground, I felt that I was pressed tightly against Jiang Nanle, and could even smell her body fragrance.

My face started to burn involuntarily.

I'm young, there's nothing I can do...

She giggled and raised her flashlight to shine inside through the gap in the tomb door.

I also put my head close to the gap in the tomb door to look.

The tomb door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap of seven or eight centimeters in the middle.

It's just right to observe the situation in the tomb through the gap.

When I shone the flashlight inside, I saw billowing white mist.

Wisps of white mist floated out from the crack in the door and rushed towards us.

call!

The fog brought a chill, and I shivered involuntarily.

I felt like the tomb was a big ice cellar.

I turned to look at the tomb door again, and saw that fine water droplets were constantly condensing on it.

When more water droplets accumulate, they slowly flow downwards.

Against the backdrop of the vermilion tomb door, it really looks like the tomb door is bleeding.

This is actually because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tomb is too large, so condensation water forms on the tomb door.

It's not the tomb door that is bleeding as Daquan said.

But why is the temperature in the tomb so low?

Condensation and white smoke appeared, so the temperature inside must be below zero?

While I was thinking, Jiang Nanle lowered his head and fiddled with the copper lock.

I don't know how she did it, but I heard two clicks and the copper lock was opened.

She threw the opened copper lock on the ground and raised her hand to push the tomb door.

"and many more……"

I was about to stop her when I heard a shrill sound.

Crunch.

The hinges of the tomb door made a harsh friction sound.

The heavy stone door was slowly pushed open.

I looked in surprise at the slender arm that pushed the door open.

It's hard to imagine that such thin hands can burst out with such tremendous power.

It seems that Jiang Nan, who is possessed by a mountain ghost, has powers far beyond those of ordinary people.

Half of the tomb door was pushed open.

The cold wind blew white mist in my face.

I was so cold that the hairs on my body stood up.

Ershuan, who followed down, was startled by the cold wind and screamed.

"so cold!"

"Why is there still white smoke coming out?!"

I looked up at him.

Just as I was about to explain, I felt a void in front of me.

Jiang Nanle, who was originally standing close to me, was now walking into the tomb.

I didn't bother to deal with Ershuan anymore and chased inside with a flashlight.

As soon as I took a step inside, I felt so cold.

I felt the cold air from all around penetrate into my body through my pores, and it was so chilling.

I delayed for a few seconds and Jiang Nanle had already walked into the white smoke.

The figure completely disappeared from my sight.

"Is Jiang in trouble?!"

I called her, but there was no response.

This made me feel nervous.

Did something happen?

But I didn't hear any unusual sounds.

And from what we saw from above, the tomb chamber is not very big.

In such a small space, even if something happens, you should be able to hear the sound.

I drew my sword.

The sharp sword brings me a sense of security.

"Jiang Nan, speak."

There was still no response to my shouts.

Whoosh!

Strong winds blew white mist out of the tomb.

The first thing that came into my sight was the wall of the tomb.

The walls of the tomb, made of blue bricks, are covered with various talismans painted with cinnabar.

And they are all thunder talismans to suppress evil and dispel evil spirits!

call!

Another cloud of white mist emerged.

I saw a rectangular stone trough on the ground right in front of me.

The stone trough contained a dark liquid.

A wick-like object extended from the top of the stone trough.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the eternal lamp that Grandpa Ai described, which was lit by adding oil from hundreds of lamps.

The hanging coffin should be above the eternal lantern.

I slowly looked up.

Eight iron chains hung from the eight corners of the black coffin, suspending it in mid-air.

The ninth iron chain hung from the center of the tomb, hanging the center point of the black coffin.

The black coffin was covered with talismans painted with cinnabar.

Moreover, the talismans painted on the coffin are obviously different from those on the wall!

I raised my head slightly again.

Just happened to meet Jiang Nanle face to face!

She squatted on the hanging coffin, her eyes slowly rolling up.

Soon there was only white in his eye sockets, and he raised his hands with a ferocious look on his face, scratching the coffin lid hard with his slender fingers.

Squeak!

The fingernails scratched the coffin lid, making a teeth-grinding sound.
