Chapter 267 Bone
"Is this the senior who designed the tomb?" Looking at the unrotting gossip pattern on the Taoist robe, such an idea came to Ye Tian's mind.
In order to ensure the confidentiality and security of tombs and prevent future generations from robbed tombs, the ancient emperors killed all the labor craftsmen who built the tombs. Naturally, the most famous is the hundreds of thousands of craftsmen buried in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin.
Since the Qin Dynasty, although the emperors of all dynasties have advocated that they will no longer be buried with living people, those who build tombs are not included in this list. Often the tombs are repaired, and it is the day when they die.
As for the designer of the mausoleum, it is in the list of must-kill, so Ye Tian's inferred that this skeleton was the feng shui man at that time, which was very reasonable.
"Don't be surprised, seniors. Later, juniors will recite the recitation mantra, and you will go beyond reincarnation!"
Although the flesh and flesh on the bones here have long been rotten, there is still an unpleasant smell. Ye Tian did not squat down and gently touched the bone with the moon knife in his hand.
"Sure enough!"
When the skeleton was moved by Ye Tian, a compass slipped down from the Taoist robe, but this compass, which should have been supposed to be a magic weapon, has lost its magic power after thousands of years of erosion in the tomb.
"Huh? Is there anything else?"
After the compass slid out, Ye Tian found that there seemed to be a black thing in the part of the man's thigh bone, and then picked up his clothes with a moon knife.
"Damn it, how many arrows did this get?"
After picking out the rotten clothes of the Taoist man, Ye Tian was stunned, because among the bones in his chest and abdomen, there were at least 20 or 30 clusters of arrows. In ancient times, this death method was called ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
I think this Taoist is not a good person. He resisted fiercely when he was about to be killed, but after all, he was defeated by two fists, and finally he was killed by an arrow here.
" No matter how strong your personal ability is, it is not an opponent of the court!" Ye Tian shook his head and warned himself with these words before he looked at the man's thigh bone.
At the root of the man's thigh, there was a black object the size of a palm. It was supposed to be tied with a cowhide tendon, but after the skin and flesh rotted, the object was stuck in his bones.
"Is it an iron box?" Ye Tian gently touched the flat object with a moon knife, and unexpectedly made the sound of metal confrontation.
"Is it the secret of inheritance from this person?"
Ye Tian could no longer care about the unpleasant temperature on the ground. He squatted down and took out the box, "Huh? It's not an iron box, but it's made of wood?"
The box is very heavy, but it does not have a metal texture. It is made of aloes wood, and there is a faint fragrance on the tip of the nose.
Ye Tian was excited, and the modern magic was subtle. Except for his own inheritance, he could not see anyone else in the strange family for a long time. He thought that the wooden box in his hand was most likely to be the inheritance of the Taoist. Ye Tian's heart was suddenly hot.
The copper button of the wooden box is still well preserved. Ye Tian opened the button and reached out to open the box.
"Sor silk?"
Looking at a thin silk in the wooden box, Ye Tian was overjoyed. Although there was already paper in the Tang Dynasty, some valuable records were mostly written in silk, which must be the inheritance of Taoism.
Before he could think about it, Ye Tian reached out and took it out. But the accident happened at this time. The silk he held in his hand was like powder, and turned into ashes with Ye Tian's movements.
"Ah? What's going on?
Ye Tian is not a professional archaeologist after all, and even his awareness of the protection of cultural relics in tombs is not as good as Zhou Xiaotian, a half-baked grave robber above.
Ye Tian did not know that these objects sealed in the tomb for thousands of years will soon decay into ashes without professional care after encountering oxygen.
Once when a well-preserved tomb was opened in China, the archaeologists once watched a square table slowly change color. When the wind sent by the blower blew through the square table, the whole square table was turned into ashes.
"Damn, this... What should I do?"
The decay of silk made Ye Tian crazy. He also guessed the principle at this time, but he didn't know how to stop the aging of silk.
"Yes, the yin qi should be able to save these silks!" Ye Tian's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that Master seemed to have said that the yin soil and yin qi, which were not seen in the tomb, were all objects that could be oxidized in the tomb.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian's right hand exerted a little force to stimulate the evil spirit in the moon knife. A breath of extreme yin overflowed from the moon knife and covered the wooden box.
Sure enough, as Ye Tian guessed, when the yin wrapped around the wooden box, the aging of the silk there suddenly stopped, but when Ye Tian reached out to get it again, his heart was full of bitterness.
Just during the short period of silk contact with the air, about one finger-thick silk was rotten. Ye Tian picked it up with two fingers and could only pinch a pinch of ashes.
"It's a pity, I'm really a prodigal!" Ye Tian wanted to cry without tears at this moment. He sighed in one breath. The ashes in the wooden box flew and floated in the tomb. "What? Is there anything else?" When Ye Tian looked at the bottom of the box, his heart couldn't help ringing again, because he found that there was a folded blue cloth in the wooden box.
This time, Ye Tian did not dare to grab it with his hand. While nourishing the wooden box with yin qi, he released the air machine and sensed the location of the yin soil in the tomb.
The so-called yin soil in Qimen, on the one hand, has never seen the sun, and on the other hand, it needs to be moistened by the yin qi. The soil itself contains the existence of yin qi, but the soil can accommodate yin qi like jade, and the yin soil is relatively rare.
However, under Ye Tian's induction, he soon noticed the difference under the brick. After sticking out the moon knife and prying out the square brick, Ye Tian pinched up a small handful of soil inside.
Sprinkling this handful of shady soil on the cloth, Ye Tian prayed in his heart, "I hope this thing can preserve this piece of clothing!"
Put the wooden box into his tights, and Ye Tian looked at the bone and hesitated.
In a sense, a person's death is for great burial. As a predecessor in Qimen, since Ye Tian met him, he was predestined. He should help this person clean up his bones and bury them separately.
Moreover, Ye Tian got such great benefits in this tomb, which is also due to this person. If he is not given to clean up his bones, it is a little unspeakable.
After Ye Tian thought for a moment, Zhongshou tore off the two trouser legs, bowed to the Taoist's body, and said, "Senior, I'm offended!"
Regardless of the fishy smell from his nose, Ye Tian put all the bones of the Taoist into the legs of his trousers. The tights are of good quality and elastic, but he is not afraid of being cut and broken.
"It's time to leave!" After looking back at several huge coffins in the tomb, Ye Tian walked out of the back tomb with the Taoist bones and the moon knife, and returned to the ground along the corridor.
"Who?!"
Ye Tian just came out of his head from the thief's cave. Zhou Xiaotian, who slept on the side of his head with dead grass, jumped up. He didn't have a good time this night. He was worried that someone would come over and didn't say anything, and he was worried that something would happen to Ye Tian below.
"What are you shouting about? "It's quiet!"
It's almost five o'clock in the morning, and the sound of chickens from a village in the distance can be heard in my ears. I'm afraid that after a while, there will be someone on this road.
"Brother Ye, is it you?"
Hearing Ye Tian's voice, Zhou Xiaotian was suddenly surprised. Especially after seeing Ye Tian's trouser legs and the moon knife, Zhou Xiaotian's eyes narrowed into a crack with a smile.
Although Ye Tian's trip was to help him solve the disaster, he drank the northwest wind for two nights in a row to let Ye Tian. There was no merit and hard work. Ye Tian got a big head from the tomb, and he would give it to himself more or less.
Seeing the bulging legs of the trousers, there were still some sharp objects coming out. Zhou Xiaotian could conclude that it must be some gold and silver utensils. Although Brother Ye didn't know how to rob tombs, he took out all good things.
Seeing Zhou Xiaotian standing there in a daze, Ye Tian couldn't help scolding, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and clean up here and fill in the hole. It's getting late. Let's go back to Beijing overnight!"
"Hey, Brother Ye, look, it's all up to me!" Zhou Xiaotian, who was awakened by Ye Tian's words, was busy with the engineering spat. More than ten minutes later, the stolen hole had recovered as before.
After Zhou Xiaotian dealt with the stolen hole, Ye Tian also changed his clothes, and then wrapped the Taoist's bones with the tights he took off, and found two hemp ropes to be entangled.
"Let's go!" Ye Tian held the moon knife in one hand and the bag of bones in the other. He greeted Zhou Xiaotian and rushed to the place where he parked.
"Brother Ye, I... Shall I get one for you?"
Who said that Zhou Xiaotian was cold-hearted? At this time, he was very positive, and his eyes did not leave Ye Tian's package made of tights.
"Wing to help? All right!" Ye Tian smiled and handed the moon knife in his right hand to Zhou Xiaotian.
"Damn it, this... Why is this thing so heavy?"
Originally, Zhou Xiaotian didn't care much when he saw Ye Tian carrying the moon knife, but when he took the moon knife, his hands fell down suddenly and almost didn't hit his feet.
"What's the matter? Give it back to me if you can't carry it!" Ye Tian smiled.
If you want to share the stolen food, you can't talk nonsense. Now is the opportunity to perform. Zhou Xiaotian quickly said, "Yes, you can hold it!"
Zhou Xiaotian is also a little martial arts practitioner. His arms are quite strong. After holding the moon knife on his shoulder, he can also keep up with Ye Tian's footsteps.
