Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Judging from the perspective of my grandfather's narration, Tuoye should be the person who stayed on the ground to receive the goods and never went down to the tomb.

Judging from the story of tomb robbery told by Tuo Ye, he should have participated in the tomb robbing.

After a little thought, I believed more in what my grandfather said.

Camel Master should not have gone to the tomb.

It was just that when he heard the horrific noise or saw the horrific scene in the tunnel when he was responding, he was overly frightened and developed some kind of hallucination.

He told his fantasy as if it were a story of his own experience.

After thinking about it this way, I think I have analyzed the general situation.

When Tuoye's father, brothers and uncles went to the tomb, they inhaled poisonous gases and other substances in the tomb, which caused panic, and the panic was transmitted to Tuoye.

This caused someone to escape from the tomb, but he was shot dead by the terrified Camel Master.

As for why the corpse and the tunnel disappeared, I guess it might have something to do with Camel Grandpa.

Perhaps Camel Master calmed down and went back to deal with the corpse and the stolen hole.

Speechless all the way.

When the car arrived at the Provincial People's Hospital, Cui Hao was already waiting there.

Because Boss Dong had informed us in advance, the hospital treated us as relatives of Hong Kong businessmen and directly arranged for my grandfather to be in the cadre ward.

The directors of relevant departments came for consultation.

At that time, medical equipment was backward, and even the provincial hospital only had simple equipment such as X-ray machines.

It was not until the late 1980s that equipment such as CT was gradually introduced.

The directors took turns listening to my grandfather's stethoscope, and then sent him for an X-ray and blood draw.

The test results came out, but no clear diagnosis was made.

He just said that my grandfather had serious lung problems and needed anti-inflammatory treatment first.

I felt uneasy and kept asking for details, and repeatedly said that money was not a problem.

I am willing to spend any amount of money as long as it can cure my grandfather.

"I understand your feelings, but the old man's condition is beyond our ability."

"You have connections in Hong Kong Island, so you can definitely send the elderly there for treatment."

"The medical equipment there is more advanced and the doctors are more qualified."

I stood there in a daze.

It seems that staying in the Provincial Hospital is just waiting for death.

There is only hope if he is sent to Hong Kong Island for treatment.

But I don’t have any connections with Hong Kong Island.

Boss Dong helped me contact the Provincial Hospital, which was a great honor for us.

Even if he was willing to help, the cost of sending grandpa to Hong Kong Island for treatment would be astronomical.

Continue tomb robbing?

Once again, I thought of the tomb of the king of Bi State.

But I promised Zhang Nan that I would never go to that place again.

And there are indeed dangers in the tomb...

I sat on the wooden chair in the corridor and wanted to take out a cigarette and take a puff.

But he felt the notebook in his pocket.

Take out the yellowed notebook.

The first page shows a diagram of the ancient tomb's structure.

Information such as the length, width, and depth of the tomb passage and chamber are all marked in detail.

Above the tomb chamber, it is marked that the suspected tomb is eight meters deep.

It seems that the tomb I intercepted was really a suspected tomb!

The second page is a cross-section of the ancient tomb.

Rammed earth layer, suspected tomb, covering stone, top stone, waist stone, bottom stone...

The cross-sections are very detailed.

The tomb chamber was thoroughly explored from front to back and from left to right.

On one side of the cross-section drawing it is written: It is speculated that the owner of the tomb is a royal noble. Combined with the analysis of the geographical location, it seems to be the tomb of the king of the Bi State in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is planned to bypass the suspected tomb and enter the tomb chamber directly.

Later on, various preparatory work and the excavation of the tunnel were recorded.

The notes up to this point are normal.

But the content on the next page left me stunned.

Everything is ready, Master Sun finally arrives.

He was Ma Jiye's subordinate, responsible for counting and recording the stolen items, and settling all the fees for hiring us to rob tombs.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he asked him indirectly and finally found out why Ma Jiye was so obsessed with finding the tomb of the king of Bi State.

Ma Jiye and Stein believed that the first king of the State of Bi, Bi Gonggao, served as the chief of the Tai Shi Liao in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was an important official of the royal family.

The inscriptions on his tomb may contain the secret of the location of the Western Zhou royal cemetery.

It seems that their ultimate goal is the tombs of the kings of the Western Zhou Dynasty!

The notes end here.

But I was surprised by the last part of the account.

According to historical records, all the kings of the Western Zhou Dynasty were buried in Zhouyuan.

However, no royal tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty have been found in the Zhouyuan area today.

Professor Zhang once believed that the ancient Zhouyuan might not be the current Zhouyuan.

If the inscriptions in the tomb of the king of Bi State can really point out the location of the tomb of the Western Zhou king, it means that enormous wealth is at your fingertips!

My heart was pounding.

Profits make my blood boil.

As long as I go back to the village to find Grandpa Camel...

At this moment, Zhang Nan and my grandfather’s words appeared in my mind at the same time. They both told me not to go.

The passion gradually cooled down.

I rubbed my face vigorously with my hands.

"A real man cannot go back on his word. He promised them."

"Brother, I just saw that beautiful lady."

Cui Hao trotted over carrying a bag of daily necessities.

I asked with a puzzled look.

"It's the one in the Minsheng store, the one who held your hand and wrote to you."

"Zhang Nan?!"

"Yes, yes, that's her. She's at the emergency room... Brother, don't run. Wait for me!"

"You stay and look after my grandfather."

I ran out without looking back.

At the door of the emergency room, Ai Wuwu was supporting Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan's eyes were slightly red, and he bit his lower lip tightly, trying hard to prevent the tears from flowing out.

That pretended strong look broke my heart.

"Sister Nan, what happened?"

"Brother Shitou..." Zhang Nan looked at me blankly.

"Shi Tou, come with me."

Ai Wuzhuang grabbed my sleeve, pulled me to the wall and whispered to me.

"Professor Zhang has contracted a strange disease."

"A strange disease?"

"He was so manic that even Nan Nan couldn't recognize him. He was saying a lot of weird things."

"No, they can't even be called words. They are just very strange syllables."

"I can't learn those syllables for you either. Anyway, the doctor passed out after the injection and is being examined now."

I turned my head and looked at Zhang Nan cautiously.

She stood quietly against the wall, her eyes full of worry.

"Didn't Professor Zhang go to a meeting? How could he have such a strange disease? Does anyone else have it?"

"The other nine people who attended the meeting...are all dead."

"what?!"

Are we going to the underworld for a meeting?

How could they all be dead!

"On the last day of the conference, the participants were arranged to visit the newly discovered cave ruins, and something went wrong after they entered the cave."

"The organizers said the cave collapsed and caused the deaths, but I think..."

Ai Wuzhuang didn't continue.

But everyone who understands understands.

If it was a cave collapse, even if Professor Zhang was mentally stimulated, he would not have such a strange illness.

What exactly did they encounter in the cave?

Perhaps we can only know when he wakes up.

At this time, the door of the emergency room opened.

Professor Zhang, who was lying on a gurney, was pushed out.

Professor Zhang's eyelids moved, opened slightly, and then closed again.

Zhang Nan anxiously inquired about the situation.

The doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with the patient's body. As for the rest... we'll discuss it after the patient wakes up. Let's send him back to the ward first."

I rested my hands on the gurney.

Professor Zhang suddenly opened his eyes, emitting a terrifying light, and raised his right hand high as if to grab something.

He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Ba...Snake!"
