Chapter 23:
"Is this thing so magical? Is it valuable?" Fatty's train of thought was indeed strange. No wonder he could get along with Hu Yifei. No one had thought this way. Did he really want money over his life?
However, since they were working together, it was better to say some things as a show of sincerity. Chen Yuze, the grave robber, also had these things in his memories.
Chen Yuze could be considered a second-generation heir, so he knew quite a bit. Looking at Fatty and Old Hu, they obviously didn't know the value of this thing. After all, they were newbies. He explained,"If you can move this thing out completely, it might be worth some money or something, but taking out a tile or something is worthless.”
"Not to mention that this thing can't be taken alone, the key is that it's too fragile. At present, no one has been able to see the shape of this completed funeral. This is also related to the funeral customs of the Yuan Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the Yuan Dynasty was a nomadic nation, so a large tomb like this is actually rare.”Chen Yuze's words piqued their interest.
Fatty handed a cigarette to Chen Yuze.""Little brother, why don't you tell us in detail? It's our first time doing this job, so there are many things we don't understand.”
Chen Zeyu lit his cigarette and looked at Fatty and Old Hu.""Alright, I'll tell you if you want to hear it.”
The two of them were seriously preparing to listen to the story, which made Chen Yuze feel very helpless. However, Chen Zeyu still knew a little about it. After all, his family used to do this business. How could he not know?
Chen Yuze pointed at the location of the tomb."The Yuan Dynasty is a rather strange dynasty in history. It is rare to find ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, this has something to do with their funeral customs. When people of the Central Plains die, they pay attention to death.”
"That's right. That's why we're here to rob the rich and help the poor. After death, the b * stard's life is better than mine.”Fatty looked at the tomb in front of him with hatred, as if he really had a grudge.
"Shut up, fatty. Listen to me obediently. Little brother, continue!”Old Hu interrupted Fatty's complaints and let Chen Yuze continue his story.
"It's fine, but the Yuan Dynasty is different because of their customs. To put it bluntly, they are the descendants of the Liao Dynasty and Mongolia. They don't care about this. There are very few ancient tombs found in the Yuan Dynasty, and even rarer in the Liao Dynasty because they don't do this. Usually, after a person dies, they will empty a big piece of wood and put the body in. Then, they will cover the wood again. It looks like a coffin, but they don't dig graves!”Chen Yuze understood this.
"You don't know how to dig graves? Then how are we going to bury him?" Fatty looked at Chen Yuze in a daze. This was because this was everyone's habitual way of thinking. The mention of a large tomb would bring up the appearance of a small hill, with emperors and generals buried inside.
"This is the difference. They are a nomadic race and rarely care about returning to their roots. They live on the grasslands and are buried there after they die. Usually, they would dig a hole in the ground. It was completely random. They would bury the wood with the corpse, cover it with soil, and let the cows, sheep, and horses walk a few rounds on it to flatten the place!”Chen Yuze was interrupted by Fatty before he could finish.
"Is this…a real-life version of a grave disco? Isn't this too disrespectful?" Fatty and Old Hu were a little surprised. This was the first time they had heard of such a burial.
Old Hu didn't really study much. He turned to Chen Yuze and said,""What I'm curious about is…if it's all flattened, how are their descendants going to pay their respects? They can't even find a place, right?”
" They have a way to do that. After they flatten the place, they know that grass will grow the next year. It's impossible to tell on the grassland, but humans can't. Other animals can. They will kill the female camels and mares that gave birth on the spot and pour the blood of the female camels on the place. The next year, they will bring the young camels over. If the young camels can find the location of their mother, they will worship the young camels!”
"You can do this?" The two of them looked at Chen Yuze in surprise.
Chen Yuze spread his hands." That's why their mausoleums are very difficult to find. They can't even find them at all. Even their descendants can't find them. Little Camel will always find the wrong place. Moreover, if they don't handle it well, they might not even be able to find it at all. However, we can't say that they are casual. In fact, this is more suitable for them!”Chen Yuze was also very helpless. However, this was indeed their funeral custom at that time. It was not fabricated!
"Why? This grave has been disco jumped?" Fatty couldn't get over the disco dancing.
Chen Zeyu shook his head." At that time, they were living on the grasslands. Wolves often appeared there. If they had built a grave according to the customs of the Central Plains, we wouldn't even need to do anything. Those guys would have dug up the grave and let those animals find it. The corpses wouldn't have been left behind. Therefore, they usually did not move the female camel's corpse, but left it in place. In fact, it was very likely to cover up the corpse, or to feed these guys.”Of course, part of this was just speculation. No one knew the specifics. After they invaded the Central Plains, the funeral customs had changed to a certain extent.
"Then does little brother have a way to deal with this glazed tile?”Fatty was still interested in this tomb.
Chen Yuze smiled and nodded." Indeed, the seniors have some ideas. Although they are not suitable for us, I will still tell them. We can deal with them in the future!"”
"Although this glazed tile is very fragile, the fire dragon oil inside is brought back from the Western Regions at that time. It's not common. It's almost rare to see it except in the Yuan Dynasty. It's a mixture of white phosphorous and oil. It burns when it comes into contact with air. Someone used a method before to mix the surrounding soil into a mud. The airtight mud breaks a few tiles through the thick mud. If this thing falls into the tomb, it will be covered by the airtight mud. Naturally, it won't burn. However, you can also imagine the disadvantages. Not only is it not safe, but it is also easy to damage the funerary objects!”
This method was based on the memory of the tomb raider that Chen Yuze had fused with. Theoretically, it was feasible. Some people had used this method to succeed, but the probability was very small. If the operation was not done well, it was easy for something to happen.
