I understand what the fat man said. He should be talking about the fact that the air in Helian Shu's tomb seems to be inferior to that in Gao Xianzhi's tomb. This is actually common sense. When my father was still alive, although I couldn't participate in family affairs because of my weak yang in my horoscope, I often chatted with some tomb robbers who often sold things in my father's shop. At that time, I often heard them say that the dust in the ancient tomb had been buried underground for many years, and the air inside was very bad. Because of the good sealing effect, the various odors after the corpse rotted could not be dispersed. Over time, the air was toxic. If the tomb was opened without dispersing the air, it would be fatal. This is not all. The most vicious is the vacuum tomb. The structure inside is very similar to the pyramids in Egypt. There is no air. It is said that Qin Shihuang's tomb is like this. Once you enter, you can't get out. It's really scary. Ancient tombs with good ventilation like Gao Xianzhi's are actually very rare, because the bad air in the ancient tomb is also a burglar prevention measure. Those ancient dignitaries would like to sprinkle arsenic in the air when they were buried, so how could they consider ventilation? Therefore, when the tomb robbers go to the tomb, they will first test the air quality. The method of throwing a fire stick like the fat man is a way to test whether the air in the tomb is full of oxygen, but this method is full of loopholes and is relatively crude. Because the air in some tombs is the worst in the tomb chamber, while the corridor is no different from the outside world, so most of the tomb robbers use the method of "releasing the bird", which is to tie an engineering line to the leg of a bird, just like flying a kite, by adjusting the length of the engineering line to control where the bird flies, so that the air quality deep in the tomb can be surveyed. If the bird flies in and does not pull the line, then basically the bird has been poisoned or suffocated in the tomb, and the tomb cannot be easily entered.
Of course, these are the local methods I have heard of, which are the methods passed down by our ancestors since ancient times. As for the modern methods, I don't know. I heard that many large foreign tomb-robbing groups are playing with high technology, releasing remote-controlled robots to explore. That stuff is too high-end, and I don't know much about it.
Fatty is an expert in this area, and we must refer to his opinions. He said to rest, so our team had to rest. It was still the old rule - rotation.
Of course, the rotation definitely does not include Princess Kinskaya. After all, people and ghosts are different. We still have some grudges against this former princess of the Stone Kingdom. Although it did not harm us, we are not so relieved that we close our eyes and let a ghost guard us.
To be honest, this is the first time I sleep in this place where the dead are buried, and it is a mass grave. This sleep is definitely not good. When I close my eyes, my mind is full of messy things. I think of my father. I am very curious about what kind of image he has in front of others besides playing the role of a single father in front of me. I thought of the honest and simple Uncle Li. What kind of story did he have in the past? I also thought of the mysterious woman who saved me in the ancient temple. What kind of existence is she and what does she look like? I don't know why, but I always have a feeling for that mysterious woman that I can't even understand myself. I really want to see her. I slept for three or four hours in such a daze, and then I was woken up by Zhang Jinya - it was my turn to keep watch.
Although this is a mass grave, we didn't encounter any strange things that night. At about seven o'clock the next day, the fat man threw another fire starter into the tomb passage, but this time the fire starter didn't go out.
"Okay, let's go into the tomb!"
The fat man let out a long breath, called a few of us, and we put on our backpacks and rushed into the tomb.
The structure of Helian Shu's tomb is actually similar to that of Gao Xianzhi's tomb, with a corridor, the front room in the front, then the main tomb chamber and two side chambers, and a supporting chamber. It seems that after he died at the hands of his brother Helian Chang, Duke of Taiyuan, his father Helian Bobo gave him a grand funeral and killed many Han people to bury him alive, but he was not given the etiquette of a prince. He was buried according to the standards of ordinary Han nobles. After all, the Xiongnu had been conquered by the Han Dynasty and moved into the interior of the country for many years. In addition to their inherent barbarity and cruelty, their etiquette had been quite sinicized. The funeral specifications were basically not in accordance with the Xiongnu nobles, but completely in accordance with the Han etiquette.
Because Helian Qi was notorious, this time we entered the tomb to touch gold. After passing through the corridor, we basically went straight to his side room. In the words of Fatty, we first took a look at what was in the burial objects. The result was a bit disappointing. This barbaric nation is a barbaric nation. In the fucking side room, there were only swords, spears, halberds and horse bones. Basically, they have been oxidized to the point of having no shape. It is useless to touch them and they can't be sold for much money.
Then we went to the left and right ventricles. This time, even Zhang Jinya started to curse the people of the Helian family as beasts as soon as we entered the door, because the left and right ventricles were full of human bones, obviously all of them were buried alive. These people's bones were slender and smooth, and they were all women's bones, because men's bones are much thicker and longer than women's, and the bone surface is rougher, more bumpy, and heavier. Obviously, the people buried alive in the left and right ventricles should be Helian Qi's wives and concubines. It seems that there are no less than a hundred people. They are really beasts. They don't even let their wives go after they die.
However, Zhang Jinya, the bitch, just cursed a few times and started to pick up some gold and silver jewelry mixed in the bones. After a while, he was carrying a schoolbag, his mouth was almost open to his ears, and with the big gold tooth pried out from the mouth of the zongzi, he looked so wretched...
After basically turning over all of Helian Shu's tomb, we finally came to the door of the main tomb chamber. According to Zhang Jinya, the evil spirit point in Helian Shu's tomb is also in the main tomb chamber, and it is in the center of the tomb chamber!
In the center of the tomb chamber, the coffin of the tomb owner is usually placed!
In other words, the evil spirit point of Helian Shu's tomb is the same as Gao Xianzhi's tomb, and the evil spirit point is in the coffin. We have to put the golden talisman to suppress the evil spirit into the coffin to fill the evil spirit point.
After figuring this out, we knew that the secrets in Helian Shu's tomb should all be in the main tomb chamber, so we were extra careful from the moment we pried open the tomb door. After all, we were so successful since we entered the tomb that we couldn't even believe that this ancient tomb was the tenth of the ten most evil tombs. There was no scene of evil spirits rising to the sky.
Opening the tomb door would definitely not be difficult for Fatty Wu, the tomb robber. It was still the top stone design. Fatty pried the key in with a twist and broke the device inside in a few moves.
Boom!
With a loud noise when the top stone fell, Helian Shu's main tomb chamber finally appeared in front of us.
Inside, there was actually a coffin and a four or five-meter-high bronze tower. Because the main tomb chamber was well sealed, the bronze tower still exudes a shiny metallic luster!
"Oh my goodness, what's going on?"
Zhang Jinya took a deep breath when he saw this, and poked the fat man with his hand: "Fatty, have you heard of the tower in this ancient tomb?"
The fat man didn't say anything, stared at the bronze tower for a long time, and then frowned and said: "This... looks like a soul-soothing tower!"
Soul-soothing tower?
I haven't heard of this thing either, so I asked the fat man what's going on?
"Mass burial pit, soul-calming tower, ghosts parading at night, Heavenly Master retreat!"
The fat man let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "This soul-calming tower is actually similar to the structure of the mass burial pit."
I know that the mass burial pit is actually a funeral tomb from the prehistoric culture period, that is, a tomb from a period about 5,000 years ago. It is very rare. Human life was difficult during that period, and the slave dynasty had not yet been established. There was no ability to build tombs, so the tombs basically adopted the structure of "tombs on tombs", that is, when burying the dead, they were buried layer by layer, with the dead stacked one on top of the other, with only a layer of soil in between.
This kind of mass burial pit is very prone to problems because there are so many dead people buried, especially when buried in a place with heavy yin energy. As long as it is dug up, the dirty things will drill out everywhere, basically leaving no way for people to survive.
"The mass graves are where the dead are buried layer by layer, and the Soul-Calming Tower is also stacked up layer by layer. There are countless ghosts imprisoned in each layer. Once the Soul-Calming Tower is destroyed, the ghosts will rush out, which is very fatal!"
The fat man said: "If my guess is correct, the souls imprisoned in the Soul-Calming Tower are the ghosts of the people in the pits outside. Back then, the beast Helian Bobo killed those people to bury his son, and also locked their souls in the Soul-Calming Tower, so that they would never be reborn. They were left in the tomb to guard his son's mausoleum. If someone touches the Soul-Calming Tower without knowing the consequences, they will be eaten up by the ghosts of the people buried with him outside!"
After the fat man said this, we were a little panicked. After Helian Qi died, tens of thousands of Han people were tied up and beheaded to accompany him. If the Soul-Calming Tower was opened, wouldn't tens of thousands of ghosts be released? Just thinking about it makes people's scalps numb.
"Don't worry, this soul-suppressing tower is to punish those ignorant tomb robbers. We recognize this thing, and it will be fine if we don't touch it."
The fat man walked into the main tomb with a backpack on his back, and after lighting a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb, he changed into white gloves and jumped up to start prying the coffin. While busying himself with the crowbar, he muttered: "Please leave me two good things. As the saying goes, gold has a price, but jade is priceless. Leave me a few jades, buddy. Maybe I won't turn you upside down when I'm in a good mood, otherwise I won't be polite to you, a Tartar, and I will open the coffin and whip the corpse..."
I was speechless. Looking at the fat man's posture, I knew that he would not let Helian Qi go for nothing. I guess he was going to do something immoral, because the most valuable things in this tomb must be on the tomb owner. All high-ranking officials and nobles would hold jade ruyi in their hands, hold pearls in their mouths, and have things stuffed in their anuses after they died. However, although these things carried by the tomb owner are valuable, they have to destroy the body to a certain extent in order to take them out. For example, the things stuffed in the anus, the body has lost its elasticity long ago after the death. If you want to pick out the beads from the anus, you must tear the buttocks apart...
But I don't object to the fat man's approach. Anyway, this Helian Shu is not a good thing. He killed so many innocent people in the Han Dynasty during his lifetime. After his death, it is not too much to dig up his ancestors' graves and pull them out and whip them all. If it weren't for my weak yang in horoscope, it would be easy to make the dead rise, I guess I would have personally taken the lead!
Puff!
Just when the fat man was busy opening the coffin and digging for gold, without any sign, the candle that the fat man lit in the southeast corner of the tomb went out.
Ghost blowing out the light?
I was sharp-eyed and noticed this at once. My heart suddenly "clicked". Could it be that Helian Shu's grandson has been dead for so long, but he still refuses to go to the underworld and is guarding the gold and silver treasures in his own tomb?
I was about to remind the fat man who was having a great time digging for gold, but at this moment, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded in the tomb.
Gaga gaga gaga...
This laugh was so cold and sharp that it gave me goosebumps.
