He continued reading.
There were a total of eight murals. Some were hunting in the forest, some were drinking with their comrades in the hall, some were fighting on the battlefield, some were escorting captives, and the last one was the scene of a victorious soldier being conferred the title of Marquis. However, it was not difficult to see that in each mural, there was a man wearing a fox fur coat. He should be the tomb owner of the tomb. If nothing went wrong, this should be the tomb of a Mongolian general. He was at least a Marquis of Ten Thousand Families when he was alive.
Suddenly.
"Old Li, Ye Yuan, come over here quickly!”
At some point, Jun Zi had entered a back room alone. He ran out and stood there, calling out in surprise.
"Let's go and take a look."
Ye Yuan called Qiao 'er and walked towards Jun Zi with Li Xun.
"Come, come quickly. I found the place where the tomb owner was buried with his treasures!”
He looked at Jun Zi's face, which was filled with joy and excitement.
Even Qiao 'er, this little girl, could see what he was excited about.
He entered the stone door. It wasn't very big, and only a few weapons were placed on the shelves on both sides, but they had long since decayed.
In the middle of the room was an extremely large spiked club that was three meters long. It was probably the weapon that the general had used when he was alive. One could imagine how terrifying he was. The ground was covered with porcelain pots and earthen pots, all covered in dust.
"This is the treasure you found?" Li Xun sneered.
Jun Zi choked.
He clicked his tongue and said uncomfortably,""I didn't see it clearly when I came in. I saw a few skeletons on the ground and thought that there must be something valuable here. Who would have thought that the things buried with them were either scrap metal or broken jars! This general is too cowardly, he's even poorer than you, Junzi…"
They looked at the corner.
It was really as Jun Zi had said.
Only then did he realize that there were several skeletons buried with him in the corner. They were piled up together. He hadn't paid attention earlier and thought that they were also pottery jars.
Although this kind of sacrificial burial ceremony seemed very cruel now, the ancients were all fond of it and even took pride in it.
The emperors and generals of all dynasties were proud and unwilling to be inferior to others in terms of tombs. They tried their best to design the tombs to be extremely luxurious and reflect their unique status. Their daily necessities, favorite things, and even their favorite wives and concubines were all accompanied to death.
He was fantasizing about bringing his glory from his previous life to the netherworld.
Upon closer inspection, the skulls were dented and cracked, and there were obvious signs of blunt blows. They might have been used to bury captives or wives and servants. There was also a small burial pit beside them, and there was a horse skeleton in it. It was white and hideous. This must be the precious mount that the Mongolia general rode on the battlefield. Other than that, there was nothing else.
" It seems like the Mongolians don't chase after a grand burial." Li Xun sighed. This time, there was almost no gain, so he was somewhat disappointed.
However, looking at the bones in the burial pit, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They just walked around and did not want to stay any longer. They returned to the main room of the tomb together.
The main room was very empty. Jun Zi walked around a few times, but he did not find any traces of a coffin.
"Hey, why do you think there's no coffin in such a big tomb?”Jun Zi was very unwilling.
Ye Yuan reminded him," It's illogical not to put a coffin in the tomb. I think there must be a mechanism to hide it!"”
Ye Yuan could not help but hint as he thought of the common tricks of tomb raiding. At the same time, the feeling that had not moved for a long time fluctuated intensely in Ye Yuan's heart again. Could it be…
While Li Xun was still puzzled, his eyes lit up."Yes, maybe there really is a trap. Let's look for it carefully!”
The four of them split up to search.
He did not disappoint everyone.
"Brother Li, brother Ye, there's a strange brick here, it can move!”
Not long after, Qiao 'er found a square brick in the corner of a wall. It was carved with a thin lotus pattern. It was hidden in the cracks of the brick, and if one did not look carefully, it would indeed be difficult to find it.
The three of them were delighted.
Although Qiao 'er had always been quite afraid and had been fumbling in the dark corner for a long time, she was the first to discover the mechanism.
Ye Yuan gave this stubborn but afraid little girl a thumbs up!
Then…
Sure enough, he found the same hidden bricks in four corners.
"I remember now, this is a 'tomb within a tomb'!”Li Xun suddenly slapped his thigh and said," It was recorded in my book that in ancient times, to prevent future generations from disturbing the peace of the mausoleum. Some people came up with a strange burial method. They designed the tomb to be empty to deceive the grave robbers, but in fact, the real coffin was hidden under a mechanism!”
Hearing this, Jun Zi became excited and said,""In that case, this must be the mechanism that hid the coffin!”
As she spoke, she was about to press down on the brick beside him.
"Wait!" When Ye Yuan saw this, he quickly stopped him." Junzi, don't be anxious. The person who designed this kind of tomb must have left a backup plan. There is often danger under this mechanism!”
"Then what should we do?" Jun Zi was stunned. " Then we can't just sit back and watch the treasure right in front of us, right?"”
"Like this."
Ye Yuan waved his hand.
"There are four of us, so each of us will stay in a corner. After pressing the button, immediately fall to the ground. Don't hesitate, in case any hidden weapons are triggered! What do you think?"
Recalling the dangers he encountered in the original novel, Ye Yuan told him his solution.
"Alright, this is reliable! Brother, I'll listen to you!" Jun Zi agreed.
Li Xunyi nodded. Qiao 'er didn't have any objections. She just wanted to get it done as soon as possible so that she could leave this gloomy place and get some fresh air.
"Then let's arrange it like this. Be careful!”Ye Yuan reminded again.
Everything was ready except for the east wind.
"Press it!"
Ye Yuan shouted in a low voice.
The few of them understood and reached out their palms to press down the brick together. The dust settled.
"There's no movement? Did it break after more than a thousand years?”In the corner, Jun Zi muttered.
Just as Li Xun was about to say something, the sound of a machine operating in the tomb's wall suddenly rang out by his ear!
