Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 242 Entering the Underground Palace

In the middle of the night, I suddenly saw someone squatting in the small garden, and everyone was afraid.

There are no street lights in Ziwei Square, so I slowly approached it with my mobile phone in hand, wanting to see what this old man was doing sneakily.

Because of the sound of rushing water and his back to me, the old man squatting next to Holly didn't notice me.

"uncle!"

"Lying..."

The old man jumped up in fright when I suddenly uttered a voice, and when he saw clearly that it was me, he held back the curse words abruptly.

"Cough...why is it you again, young man, what time do you stay up and come out for a stroll?"

In winter, I saw that he was wearing a pair of rain boots, and the small garden was full of water, which had covered his feet.

"Grandpa, didn't you water it at noon? Water it again at night? It won't be frozen after a while?" I asked.

"fine."

The old man dripped water in his rain boots, and said with a relaxed smile: "In a day or two, we will plant more holly. If the soil is too dry, we will not be able to survive. More watering is to irrigate the soil thoroughly. This is the best way to move it over." live."

"Don't look, go back to sleep, young man, it's so cold outside.

I don't know how to grow plants and flowers, I just feel that this old man is a bit strange.

morning.

Yang Kun asked Tingting to watch on the first floor, and the rest of us held a meeting on the second floor and expressed our opinions.

"Old Ma, you messed up that pile of snakes, it looks disgusting, you can't dig a hole and bury it in the backyard."

"Xiaofeng, you heard what we talked about just now. If there is nothing in it, then our busy work will be for nothing." Yang Kun looked at me and asked.

"Fifty thousand is gone, hey!" The water pump lost energy like a deflated ball.

Although some things are not clear, Tian Sanjiu asked me to help this group of people enter the underground palace, so I thought about it and said: "I can't say that, Brother Yang, look, we have been doing this for a few days, no How can you feel at ease when you go in? Now there is a new robbery cave, which can still be used after cleaning. If this robbery cave leads to the underground palace, don’t you want to go in and have a look?”

"Um....."

Yang Kun kept knocking on the table with his fingers: "What do you mean, we get through that robbery hole?"

"That's right. That hole has a hole. If we figure it out, we can save more than 100 meters of digging. I estimate that we will be able to enter the underground palace in a day or two, at most three days."

"Boss, I think what this kid said makes sense. If you don't go in and have a look, we will be in vain, and your activity funds will be in vain."

I glanced at Wei Xiaogang, I didn't expect him to speak for me at this time.

"Then... how to deal with the dead?"

I said don't worry about that corpse, we don't move, and we didn't kill the person, just keep it as it is.

"Okay, just do it!"

In the afternoon, Yang Kun went to buy some new leather buckets to store soil in. He said that he originally wanted to borrow the slide car from his brother Yang Bin, but the slide was too troublesome to install and was too bulky to hide.

Wait quietly until night.

At night, when we saw through the window that there was no one around the square, the water pump and I put on our headlights and climbed down the ladder.

Because the robbery hole is narrow and the range of movement is limited, the water pump and I kept climbing forward with a leather bucket and shovel.

At the end, the pump looked up, pointed to the top and said, "Where is the top?"

I looked back and said: "It should be close to the ancient pagoda, don't ask, hurry up, move lightly, I'm afraid some boards will be unstable."

The pump nodded, and he half knelt on the ground and started digging.

The soil is backfill. It must have been turned over before. It is not solid, and the iron pick will fall down when it is touched.

Within a few minutes, the water pump motioned to me and said, "Go, it's full."

I walked about 100 meters with the bucket, and saw a rope was sent down. After tying it up, I shouted up: "Old horse, pull."

The leather bucket filled with soil was slowly pulled up, and after less than a minute, the empty bucket was sent down again.

In this way, the work is repeated, and the two shifts are alternated.

At around ten o'clock on the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, we saw bricks, three-inch thick blue bricks, also called tomb bricks.

The color of the tomb bricks was gray and dark, covered with a layer of dust, and very dry.

These bricks were not built horizontally, but vertically. They were about two meters high. There was a large hole in the center of the brick wall with a diameter of less than one meter. There were scattered bricks under the hole.

After Yang Bin climbed in, he put his headlight on and looked inside, and said, "This should be the base of the underground palace tower, God of Wealth bless you, damn it, you must leave something for me."

There is a common sense that the brick pagoda underground palace is generally not big, with one to three huts, most of which are a secret room. This is the case with the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda and the Baiyi Temple Pagoda in Lanzhou. This is the first time I have entered the ancient pagoda underground palace.

"Don't fucking push me, what are you pushing me for?"

"Keep your voice down, it's not easy to get in here, I'll entrust your ass to get in."

"Stop yelling, the water pump is too skinny for you to get in first."

The old horse and I supported the water pump and let him go through it first.

"How? What's the situation over there?"

After dozens of seconds, the excited sound of the water pump behind the wall came.

"Come here boss! There's something!"

"Sent it this time! I saw several little golden Buddhas!"

"Golden Buddha!"

Yang Kun excitedly said: "Hurry up! Follow the instructions and let me in."

He stepped on the bricks and quickly got into the hole in the brick wall, and I followed behind.

The underground palace is not big, more than 20 square meters, very dark, and the surroundings are quiet.

I looked back and forth with my headlamp on.

There are more than a dozen small niches dug out of the brick wall of the underground palace, and each niche seems to contain something, such as a dusty Buddha statue, an incense burner, and some things wrapped in gauze, which may be hand-copied Buddhist scriptures A class of small objects.

Walking two steps forward, there is a stone table on the north side of the underground palace. There is also a layer of dust on the stone table, and a few things are placed on the table.

A pair of small pagodas made of white crystal can be recognized at a glance. The middle of the white crystal is hollowed out, and some small things like jelly beans are placed inside.

This is the crystal stupa....

That's not all, in the middle of a pair of crystal stupas, there is a base carved with bluestone lotus flowers. The yellow cloth covering the lotus seat has been weathered, and something is exposed.

It is a small coffin the size of a palm. The small coffin has two layers. The outside is golden yellow and the inside is silver white. It is a mini version of the gold coffin and silver coffin made of pure gold and silver. The wheel snail canopy, the fish intestines in the flower pot, are heavy in the hand, and overall, they are exquisite.

Yang Kun couldn't believe it, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"Sent.....sent it, us, did we post it? Why is there such a good baby!"

"Old horse, hurry... put it in a sack!"

"Come and see, Boss! There's a Mazar here!" shouted the pump.

The water pump is not about Maza, and it's the first time I've seen that thing.

It was an iron cage made like a Mazar, with a square piece of bluestone placed in the middle. The middle of the bluestone was hollowed out to make a box similar to the cover of heaven and earth. Rows of characters were engraved on the surface of the stone box.

"In the fifth year of Emperor You of the Song Dynasty, the age was Gui, and in the eighth month of Siqiu, offerings were made on the [-]th. Yuchi's family supervised the production of a king pagoda."

"The stonemason is lucky to work every week, and he will present a precious pearl, which is worth a penny, and make offerings to my Buddha."

"Wang Tong of Yuxinglou, donated two gold hairpins and three bolts of silk and satin."

...... and so on, are all such records.

"Fuck, it's so heavy, boss, what is this thing, is it worth it?" The water pump tried its weight, trying to lift the thing up.

"This...this is the stone box."

Yang Kun pointed and said: "You didn't read it. The copper coins, gold hairpins, and orbs are all hidden inside. This is a treasure, and it is worth at least 10 yuan."

Yang Kun didn't recognize it, but my heart was beating fast, it was more than one hundred thousand...

This is an offering stone culvert, which is the same as the one unearthed from Famen Temple, but that one is bigger and this one is smaller.

The King Pagoda is the Ashoka Pagoda. Judging by the area of ​​the stone culvert, the Ashoka Pagoda enshrined in it should not be large.

Before I had time to take a closer look, I just glanced at the small underground palace, the white crystal stupa, the mini gold coffin and silver coffin, Shi Han, who was offered by Emperor You for five years, and the Ashoka Pagoda that I haven't seen...

These are all first-class cultural relics.

Anyone who dares to take one.

Basically, we have to start talking from ten years.
