That's right!
Chen Feng had the knowledge transmitted by the system, so he was sure that he was not mistaken. He could even understand the words on the mural.
However, it didn't really matter which country the tomb belonged to.
What really bothered Chen Feng was that he realized that this tomb seemed to have changed from the original novel he had seen before.
In other words, the tomb raiding he had seen before could not help him avoid all the traps.
In these tombs, it was very likely that there would be some dangers that he could not confirm. At this moment, Wu Bayi noticed Chen Feng's abnormality and asked,"Old Chen, what are you looking at?"
Chen Feng only woke up when he heard his words. Then, he swallowed and said,"I think we were all wrong. This tomb is indeed a general's tomb, but it shouldn't be the tomb of the Later Jin Dynasty, but the tomb of the Khitans of the Great Liao Dynasty.”
Khitans?
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Wu Bayi and Wu Bayi looked at each other in confusion.
In the end, Wu Bayi couldn't help but ask,""Old Chen, why would the tomb of the Khitans appear in the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom?”
Thinking of this, Wu Bayi felt that something was wrong.
However, Chen Feng interrupted his guess and explained,"Back then, the northern nomads were unprecedentedly powerful, and there were endless disputes between countries. It's not surprising that such a tomb group appeared. However, what I really care about is, who is the owner of the tomb recorded on these words?”
"Look, these are the Hexi characters used by the Khitans of the Great Liao Dynasty... Their characters were written in the late Song Dynasty. They had absorbed regular script and official script, so the font was somewhat similar to Chinese characters.”
As he spoke, Chen Feng pointed at the words on it. Seeing this, Wu Bayi and the other two nodded to confirm.
"Then Old Chen, can you understand these scribbles?”
Chen Feng nodded when he heard Fatty's question. He explained as he read,"I can understand it, but there's not much written on it. Most of the records were about the bravery of the owner of the tomb when he was alive. In the end, he died for his country and was buried as a dried corpse in order to live forever after death.”
" That's not surprising. The Khitans believe in the Hexi culture. They believe that people can live forever after death…"
At this point, Chen Feng felt a little strange.
Perhaps it was because of the underwater tombs in Miao Jiang, but Chen Feng now had a vague feeling that the owners of these tombs seemed to have the intention of pursuing eternal life.
"Old Hatred, is there any record of the identity of the tomb owner in this tomb?”
Wu Bayi suddenly spoke. After hearing his question, Chen Feng carefully read the words and frowned."It doesn't record the specific official position and title, but it says that the tomb owner's surname is Li. One had to know that among the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom, Li and Xiao were both royal surnames. Xiao is a female surname, while Li is a paternal surname.”
"So, if I'm not wrong, the owner of this tomb might be a member of the royal family in addition to being a general.”
" The royal family?!" Hearing this, Fatty's eyes lit up.
It was very simple!
This was because he felt that as long as it was a royal tomb, there would definitely be a large number of funerary objects in the tomb. As long as they took out one or two pieces, they would not have to worry for the rest of their lives.
However, when he heard his words, Chen Feng smiled bitterly and denied it,"Don't be happy too early, because the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom advocate martial arts, and the military achievements in their lifetime are the most important. On the contrary, they did not care much about the glory and wealth after death. The Khitans were a nation that valued honor more than anything else.”
"Moreover, this is a general's tomb. Generals usually did not have any hobbies, so most of their tombs would be filled with knives, spears, and sticks.”
As he spoke, Chen Feng pointed at some sticks and spears placed not far away. Seeing this scene, Fatty immediately became a little anxious.
"Then... Then, Old Chen, wouldn't we have come here for nothing?”Thinking that he had made a wasted trip, Fatty became a little anxious. Then, he suddenly picked up the jar beside him and said,"Old Chen, look at these jars! I remember Big Golden Tooth saying that porcelain is the most valuable.”
Hearing this, Wu Bayi's interest was piqued.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng threw the jar on the ground after taking a look at it.
"Aiyo, you prodigal!"
Seeing the jar shatter, Fatty felt pain all over his body. However, Chen Feng simply told him,"Don't pick them up. These jars are all clay jars. Back then, the Liao and Houjin were semi-nomadic people. They did not have the art of roasting porcelain.”
"As for these pots, there's no specific year, and there's no official kiln signature. They're not worth much even if you take them out.”
"I...! Then we came here for nothing?" Hearing this, Fatty remembered that he was about to cry.
One had to know that he had spent a lot of effort to persuade Chen Feng and the others to come and search for the tomb. However, he had thought that he would be able to bring back many good things if he found a general's tomb.
He had never expected that there would be nothing in this tomb.
Thinking of the key point, Fatty said unwillingly,"Old Chen, think about it carefully…Old Wu, I already promised Big Golden Tooth. If we return empty-handed this time, we'll be laughed at when we return!”
As he spoke, Fatty pulled Chen Feng and the other man and tried to persuade them anxiously. Hearing his words, Wu Bayi immediately reprimanded him,""Alright, Fatty, wait for Old Chen to finish.”
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Fatty realized that something was wrong.
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he did not say that he would leave. Instead, he kept shining his flashlight around.
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly changed the topic."Fatty, don't be anxious…Although there are no valuable funerary objects in this tomb, don't forget that we still have coffins that haven't been opened. According to the ancient funeral customs, regardless of the race, as long as there were valuable funerary objects, they should be buried in the coffin by the tomb owner.”
"However, since we entered the tomb until now, I haven't had a coffin, so I haven't said anything.”
That's right!
Chen Feng remembered that there was indeed a coffin in the tomb in the original novel. Moreover, all valuable funerary objects would probably be buried in the coffin with the tomb owner.
However, where was the coffin?
