Chapter 326 Buried in a Cave
Two and a half days later, at noon.
Panpan hurriedly came to me. She said she had already talked with professional herb collector Aji. People said that they could climb up, but they wanted a 30 yuan hard work fee. They asked me if it was OK?
"30 yuan?"
When I heard that this was too cheap, it was not proportional to other people's efforts, so I directly paid 300 yuan in benefits.
At around 2:00 p.m., I met someone.
The herb collector Aji is not tall, very young, very thin, and a little taciturn. If I don’t take the initiative to talk to him, he will never speak.
"That brother, do you think we should make the action time between day or night?" I asked.
The man said a few words, but I couldn't understand, so I asked Panpan what he meant.
Panpan acted as the translator and said, "Ah Ji said he could do it day and night. He also wanted to ask you what you do when you go into those coffin holes." ??
I was prepared for a long time and immediately showed him the archaeological certificate we obtained in Zhengding. The certificate has seals and photos, which looks very formal.
I smiled and said, "Brother, we are from the Hebei Cultural Relics Team. I just want to study our local historical development."
This guy looked at me and grinned, revealing his white teeth.
In fact, even Panpan didn’t know that our true identities were Northern School tomb robbers.
In the evening, it was dark.
Our group was so scared that we watched!
This young man named Aki climbed too fast. He was like a human-shaped monkey, swinging around the steep and straight cliffs. He quickly climbed up at a height of over 100 meters. The whole process was flowing and completed in one go.
Seeing this scene, Xiaoxuan couldn't help but complain to me and said, "Hey, the tree king, have you seen it? This is what he calls his ability!"
Brother Yu rushed up and shouted, "Brother! Fix the rope and put it down! Then you go down!"
Soon, a plate of hiking rope was put down, just enough in length, and then the man grabbed the rope and slowly slid down.
Douya said, "Okay, Pan'er, please take this guy back first. We are calling him if we need it."
Panpan had a little reluctant face, and she said she wanted to go up and play with us.
Douyazi hugged her shoulders and smiled and coaxed her, "Oh, there's nothing fun! It's too dangerous. I'm worried that you'll be hurt! Be good, hurry up and wait for me."
Not to mention, the little fat girl really took this trick. Douyazai coaxed her and went back obediently with a blushing face.
Tied my shoelaces tightly, put on gloves, checked my headlights, and I started to climb up the first time.
I have touched many underground tombs, but this is the first time I touched the cave tomb hidden in the sky. With the help of ropes, I save more effort. It took me about twenty minutes to climb up.
After I went up, I shook the flashlight downward, meaning that I was coming up.
The wind is not small at the entrance of the cave, the ground is covered with gravel stones, and there are two ancient coffins placed there.
Before my eyes, the wind and sun have been exposed for too many years, but they are already so bad that they are not good.
I brought the headlight and walked around the coffin carefully. There were no antiques, all of them were gravel.
Pushing open the lid of the coffin, I shine the flashlight inward and see a broken human bone, and my teeth are still there.
Strangely, the skull of this man was placed between his feet. I guessed that it might have been hit by some kind of external force, which caused the skull to roll to the edge of his thigh.
At that moment, I couldn't help but say, "Brother, why are your family so poor? Why don't you have a decent funeral item?"
This kind of thing is called "poor coffin" in the industry, and it is so poor that there is not even a piece of clothing except for the corpse.
When we encounter such poor and innocent people, we usually give some meaning, which is also a rule.
I touched it over and over, and found a one-dollar steel ball in my back pocket.
So I thrust this one dollar steel into the skull's mouth, and it happened to be stuck in the master's teeth.
I smiled and said, "How great this is, brother, you at least have a funeral item."
After I finished my work, I pushed the coffin lid back.
I don’t know what expression would be if other colleagues came up to open the coffin after several years and saw the steel in the owner’s mouth jumping.
"Brother Yu! Don't come up first! This may be a big poor pit! I'll go in and take a look!"
Brother Yu shook the flashlight underneath, meaning to be careful.
I don’t know how deep the cave is, it is about thirty or forty meters high. There are traces of man-made excavation everywhere around the cave wall. I stepped on gravel and walked forward about thirty meters. Suddenly, a huge artificial stone wall appeared in front of me.
I held up the flashlight and looked at it carefully.
How much labor and time will it take to build such a tall stone wall?
There is a small arch in the middle of the stone wall. After I lowered my head and crawled into this small arch, the space suddenly became clear.
Wherever you see, there are at least one or two hundred coffins in ancient times.
All these coffins were nailed to a wooden frame with a "well" shape.
As I learned before, the coffin supported by six pillars and three "well" frames are men, four pillars and two "well" frames are women.
It's already spring, but I feel very cold even though there is no wind here.
This shows that there are too many dead people buried in the cave here, and the yin energy is too strong. This phenomenon is like when you go to the cemetery alone in summer, you will also feel cold.
You can know by looking at the shape, workmanship and standard. The coffin with flat heads with flat heads should be the coffin of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand,
Those coffin covers bulging and curved were all Qing Dynasty coffins.
The earliest time of these old coffins was around the late Ming Dynasty, and the latest time may be the Tongzhi period of Guangxu, which means that since the Republic of China, no one has been buried here.
"Damn it, it's not worth it. It's just a broken Yongzheng Tongbao cushion. Hurry up and look for it!"
When we searched for the coffins in the cave, the situation gradually improved and some silver objects began to appear, most of which were silver jewelry worn on them, including silver bracelets, large silver earrings, silver crowns, silver hairpins, etc., and there were quite a lot of them.
I guess that the outer layer is buried with poor people, while the inner layer is buried with wealthy people.
The Miao people love silver. These various silver jewelry are exactly what I want. Although they have oxidized and turned black over time, we can still see the original exquisiteness of these silver jewelry, especially a silver crown, which uses bas-relief craftsmanship throughout the body, and the workmanship is excellent.
Douyazai put all the messy silver pieces in a sack and carried them. Suddenly, Douyazai said, "Fengzi! Look at the top, there seems to be a statue there!"
I looked up and shone it with a flashlight. It was really, Douyazi's eyes were so sharp! There was a statue as dark as ink and about 40 cm tall in the hole in the wall. The statue seemed to have a hat on its head. I don't know if it was made of copper or wood.
"This may be a valuable item, find a way to get it done." I said immediately.
"Fengzi, this is a bit high. Even if I step on your shoulder, I'm afraid I can't reach it."
I thought for a while and said, "There is a way. Let's stack two coffins together, and then you go up, I'm stepping on you."
Do it as soon as you say it.
I picked up two lighter coffins and stacked them together, and then I stepped on the bean sperm to reach the statue.
"Why am I going so heavy!"
I almost hugged it. It was not copper, nor wood, it was iron! It was a pure iron statue! It was probably from the Ming Dynasty!
This iron statue has a square hat on its head. It has a thin face, long corners of eyes, and is still closed. The sides of the cheeks are shrinking and fleshless, giving people a harsh feeling that it is difficult to speak, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
Moreover, the clothes it wears are a bit special, with a row of butterfly buckles on its chest and its shoulders exposed, which is a bit like the current tube top dress.
I looked around and studied for a long time, but couldn't recognize what kind of god this is.
Douyazai lit a cigarette and frowned and said, "Oh! Fengzi, I seem to know what kind of god this is!"
"What is it?" I asked.
Chapter completed!
