[Tomb Raider] Escape

In order not to damage the tomb chamber, the robbery hole that Nangong Gousheng blasted through was just above the tomb passage. When everyone went down to the tomb passage, they were stopped by a locked iron tomb door.

Yu Yu kicked the tomb door angrily, Xiao Qiao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't destroy the cultural relics!"

As for the ability to pick locks, the three disciples of Nangong Gousheng are more or less familiar, but after 1000 years of time, the keyhole of this tomb door has long been blocked by rust.

Comrade Gousheng looked at Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu said, "If it is really Xixia's tomb, after 1000 years, the back of the tomb door must be clogged with mud. The cultural relics cannot be damaged, and the entire door must be dismantled."

Comrade Gousheng said with a smile: "The little comrades who engage in archaeology just like to mobilize teachers and mobilize people, and they don't even let a single door go. Sangou, what do you think?"

Li Yaoyao lowered her eyebrows and said, "Let's dig another hole, above the tomb."

Yu Yu snorted and said, "It can be exploded directly!"

Qiao Yu stared in fright.

Gou Sheng smiled, took out a few extremely thin wires, first carefully opened the keyhole, and then fiddled a few times, the lock unlocked.It only took 10 minutes from start to finish.

Qiao Yu was dumbfounded, the gaze she looked at Nangong Gousheng was beyond words of admiration, it was almost like seeing a Martian.

Several people used tools such as swords to poke in through the crack of the door, cut through the mud accumulated behind the door, and finally opened the tomb door and entered the tomb chamber.

This is a main tomb about [-] square meters in size, connected to another smaller tomb in the depths.There is a painted coffin in the middle of the tomb. The tomb is surrounded by adobe walls, the bricks are painted with white ash, and pictures of warriors are painted on them.The main tomb is wide at the front and narrow at the back, and the small tomb is similar.

The strange thing is that there are only two tomb chambers in this underground palace, and there is not even an ear chamber for stacking funerary objects.

Qiao Yu took a few deep breaths nervously, and turned on the flashlight to inspect the tomb.

Fortunately, this underground palace has no trace of being stolen, and the Six Gods are the first visitors in 1000 years.

There are quite a few funerary objects piled up in the four corners of the main tomb. In addition to wine vessels, swords, coins, etc., there are also many statues of stone seats, copper bulls, and stone horses. been.

Qiao Yu picked up a glazed Jialing Pinga, and murmured: "This is really the Xixia Tomb...Who is the owner of the tomb..." Judging by the size of the tomb, even if it is not a prince, it must be a nobleman.

Su Yi picked up a lump of white crystals: "What is this?"

Nangong Gousheng also picked up a lump, twisted it in the palm of his hand, and said, "This is salt!"

Li Yaoyao stepped forward, licked Su Yi's hand, smacked her lips: "Salty."

Su Yi turned pale with shock, and quickly patted him on the back: "How can this be eaten! It's been 1000 years!"

Li Yaoyao leaned into his ear and said something, most likely some obscene words, Su Yi suddenly blushed, and the two of them romped together.

Qiao Yu turned her head silently and continued to examine the murals.

Nangong Gousheng leaned forward without losing the opportunity: "Little Qiao, how come there is salt here? Could it be used for burial? Or did the salt lake seep in?"

Qiao Yu pushed the frame and said: "The agriculture of Xixia is relatively backward, and the main source of income is the salt produced in the Yanchi area. In order to combat Xixia, the emperor of the Song Dynasty issued a 'salt ban order' twice, forbidding the influx of Xixia salt. In the Song Dynasty. This is definitely not a small blow to Xixia, which shows the importance of salt to Xixia. It would not be unusual if salt was used for burial."

Comrade Gousheng suddenly realized: So it is!

Qiao Yu smiled shyly: "The Huama Pond is the largest salt pond here, let's go out in a while, let's go there and have a look."

Gousheng clapped his hands, no problem!

Yu Yu couldn't wait to check the wine vessel, She She carefully examined the pattern on the ancient sword, and Li Yaoyao directly grabbed a jade bracelet and put it in his pocket.Nangong Gousheng yelled loudly: "Just take a look, Comrade Xiao Qiao said, we can't take things randomly!" Then he leaned into the ears of the disciples and whispered: "Secretly take what you fancy, don't let him see it."

The three made clear gestures.

Qiao Yu looked at the paintings on the tomb wall, observed the shape of the tomb and the types of burial objects.Su Yi simply sat on the ground, put the flashlight aside, and quickly drew the picture of the warrior on the tomb wall.

After a while, Nangong Gousheng asked Qiao Yu, "Open the coffin?"

Qiao Yu seemed to be struggling, and she couldn't open her mouth to refuse with righteous words several times, and finally said shyly, "Let's go to another tomb first."

The other smaller tomb contained less funerary objects, and there were no wine vessels or weapons.

After looking through both tombs, Qiao Yu didn't find anything that could prove the identity of the owner of the tomb, and the year numbers engraved on some coins can only show that the owner of the tomb should be a person from the early founding of Xixia.After several inquiries from Nangong Gousheng, Qiao Yu finally couldn't help being curious, and said, "Then... let's open the big one."

So Nangong Gousheng took out a shovel, and just inserted it into the gap of the coffin lid, Qiao Yu regretted it: "Hey, wait!"

"Bang!" A piece of wood was pried open, and Nangong Gousheng blinked innocently: "You are too late."

Qiao Yu: "..."

Now that that was the case, Qiao Yu stopped struggling and watched Gou Sheng pry open the coffin boards one by one, revealing the coffin inside. (Note: The coffin is covered with a coffin, and the coffin contains people)

The coffin was made of high-quality nanmu, which once again shows the noble status of the owner of the tomb.Qiao Yu felt her heart beating extremely fast. Even if she was digging a tomb with an archaeological team, she had never been so excited before.Perhaps, it was the taboo color attached to the act of tomb robbery that made him feel more excited.

The tightly sealed coffin lid was pried open, and Yu Yu was the first to jump on it, only to see a dazzling pile of funeral objects in the coffin.He dialed it twice casually, and wondered: "No bones?"

Seeing a simple clay pot among the luxurious funeral objects, Yu Yu held it out curiously: "What is this?"

Nangong Gousheng narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "That's right!"

Qiao Yu wondered, "What is it?"

Yu Yu lifted the lid of the earthen pot cheaply, and couldn't see anything clearly because it was so dark inside.He reached into the clay pot and groped for a while, then pulled out a piece of white stuff, shook it twice, and threw it away with disdain: "Tch, it turned out to be a bone!"

"what!!!"

The white thing was hitting Qiao Yu's forehead, and he screamed, which made everyone tremble with fright.

Nangong Gousheng patted his chest in shock and picked up the things Yu Yu had thrown away, looked at them in his palms, and approached Qiao Yu with a smile: "It's not bones. He lied to you."

Qiao Yu took a closer look, and saw Brother Gousheng holding the thing, opening and closing it, and suddenly leaned in front of Qiao Yu's eyes and pinched his nose, which made Qiao Yu tremble again.

"It's obviously a pair of gums!"

Qiao Yu calmed down a bit, swallowed, and took over the set of gums.Although he had seen this thing before, but in the gloomy underground palace, such a pair of teeth from thousands of years ago looked particularly creepy.

"This is a man." Qiao Yu said.Men's gums are right-angled, and women's gums are slightly curved.

The burial objects in the coffin included swords, which are usually placed in men's tombs, which in turn shows the gender of the tomb owner.

Qiao Yu and Su Yi rummaged through the funeral objects in the coffin, but they still couldn't find anything that could prove the identity of the owner of the tomb.

Nangong Gousheng asked: "Is there a coffin that cannot be opened?"

Qiao Yu looked at Su Yi. Su Yi didn't have so much self-restraint as he did, but instead looked forward to it.Qiao Yu gritted her teeth: "Open!"

So everyone pried open the coffin in the second tomb, which was very similar to the first one. There were only a pile of funerary objects and a clay pot in the coffin. This time the pot contained the bones of a woman.

Li Yaoyao wondered: "The husband and wife are buried together in the tomb?"

Nangong Gousheng looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Can't you think of something else? A man and a woman are husband and wife buried together?"

Li Yaoyao scratched her head embarrassingly, and whispered: "What else could it be..."

Qiao Yu rummaged through the funeral objects, but still couldn't find anything that could give him a clue. He said to himself, "Put the bones in clay pots...is this a relocation? The owner of the tomb died unexpectedly?"

He wanted to find a qualified candidate, but he didn't know the history of Xixia well enough. When he asked Su Yi, Su Yi was helpless.

Nangong Gousheng clearly knew something, but when Qiao Yu asked, he just answered "I don't know", "I'm not sure", "Look at the others" and so on.

When everyone returned to the main tomb, Nangong Gousheng held a shovel in his hand and kept hitting the tomb wall with the handle of the shovel.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu leaned over: "What are you doing?"

Gou Sheng said: "Look for the ear chamber." (The ear chamber is a special place for burial objects)

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up: "Is there an ear chamber!"

Gousheng said with a smile, it is against the rules to not have an ear chamber, it must have been sealed to prevent theft.

Sure enough, there was an echoing sound from behind the wall, indicating that the back was empty.

The dog rolled up his sleeves: "You bastards, do it!"

The three of Yu She and Li rushed forward, holding the tool and began to chisel.Su Yi shrugged as usual, Qiao Yu was dumbfounded.

After a while, a small hole was cut out on the wall of the tomb for one person to pass through.

Yu Yu and Li Yaoyao dropped the shovel at the same time, stretched out their heads and drilled in, their two furry heads arching back and forth in the small hole.

"I first!" "Why! I first!" "I'm the boss! You have to respect the old!" "I'm the youngest, you have to love the young!"

She She kicked people away one by one, "I go first!"

The two pursed their lips and patted their buttocks. Seeing that She Snake dexterously slipped through first, the rock-paper-scissors guessed the result and slipped past one by one.

The tomb passage leading to the ear chamber is more than [-] meters long. The ear chamber is filled with luxurious funerary objects, and there are many burial stone figurines that replace living people.

Before Qiao Yu came in, the three of Yu She and Li made a good time first. Yu Yu stuffed three glass cups in his crotch, She She stuck two daggers in his trouser legs, and Li Yaoyao hid a handful of gems in his clothes. Nangong Gousheng couldn't help but follow a piece of jade.

Qiao Yu entered the ear room, ignored the priceless funeral objects, and turned on the flashlight to carefully examine the murals on the wall.

Several Buddha statues were painted on the wall facing the tomb passage. Qiao Yu approached and found a line of small characters carved in Xixia script on the wall.

"May the Buddha forgive his sins." Qiao Yu recited.

Looking at the other two walls, there are murals on each wall. The one on the left shows a man kneeling in front of another man. Both of them have shaved hair. They are obviously from Xixia.To Qiao Yu's surprise, the man who was kneeling was wearing Xixia's imperial robe, and the man kneeling on the ground looked like a prince.

Su Yi couldn't help but muttered: "Is this painting the owner of the tomb?"

Qiao Yu shone the flashlight on the wall on the right, and found a group of kneeling Xixia people, male and female, painted on the wall.Some of these people's heads have fallen to the ground, and the blood painted with cinnabar is still bright red;The contents of the murals are so vivid that it makes one feel chills.

"Who are these people?" Qiao Yu frowned.

Nangong Gousheng's expression became more and more determined, but he didn't say anything, he put his arms around Qiao Yu's shoulder and said, "Let's go when we see enough, the air here is too thin. The old man's heart can't stand it."

In fact, the shape of this tomb is symmetrical. Since there is an ear chamber on the east side, there is naturally one on the west side.It's just that Nangong Gousheng already knew what he wanted to know, and the apprentices had almost made enough money, so he accepted it as soon as he saw a deal, and called everyone to go up.

Nangong Gousheng was the first to climb out of the robbery cave, followed by Qiao Yu.

Gou Sheng knelt at the entrance of the cave, handed Qiao Yu his hand, and said, "Come on, I'll pull you up."

He took Qiao Yu's white and soft hand, and squeezed it a couple of times, half of Qiao Yu's body came out of the hole, and his expression suddenly became extremely frightened.

Nangong Gousheng was wondering when he suddenly felt something cold on the back of his head.

——A black muzzle was pressed against his head.

"Old Dog Wang, long time no see." A man with a birthmark on his left eye said with a sneer.
