Master Liang immediately put down the food in his hand and briefly described the background of these two people to us.

The two bosses from Guangdong, the one named Wang is called Wang Qi, and the one who likes Li is called Li Pipa. They are both from Foshan and are very famous in the local antique industry. Among them, we already know the background of Li Pipa. My ancestor was an iron-headed knight, and his fortune depended on half of the "Hemu Collection" which recorded the locations of numerous ancient tombs.

And the reason why I know this is that Lao Itch and I once overheard what he said, but everything he said was his one-sided statement, and there were some exaggerations in it that we don’t know. Now it sounds like Master Liang It sounds more conclusive and more believable.

Wang Qi's family background is not as prominent as Li Pipa's, but it is more real. The profession his ancestors engaged in is called Chaofeng.

What is worship? Chaofeng refers to the guys who work in the pawn shop. They sit on the high counter and judge the value and authenticity of an item in a short time. It is their job.

Among them, the person responsible for the appraisal of high-end items and daily administrative affairs is called Da Chaofeng. Da Chaofeng of a big pawn shop can be said to be the person who has seen the most treasures in the world. He has seen all kinds of weird things. Wang Qi’s ancestor is A famous imperial minister named Wang Xianchu wrote a written book in his later years called "Remnants of the Ancient Yuzhai Qi Jie". This thing is called a strange book. It records all the things he encountered in his life. He considered strange objects and recorded in detail the owner's description, his judgment, etc., which has a strong horizontal reference value for archaeological work.

Wang Qi himself is not highly educated, but his record-keeping ability is very good. He has read the contents of "The Remaining Records of Gu Minzhai's Strange Tribulation" many times and unknowingly memorized them all. It happened that one time, At a street exchange meeting, he saw a white jade lion, which was very similar to a hidden head box recorded in "The Remaining Records of the Ancient Yuzhai Strange Tribulation". In front of everyone, he pressed the "Gu Yuzhai" According to the record in "The Remaining Records of the Strange Tribulation", Wang Qi put the white jade lion into the tea. Not long after, the lion opened its mouth and spit out a gold leaf. From then on, Wang Qi became famous. Out of control.

As for when these two people got together, Master Liang couldn't tell clearly. I only heard that it was because of a woman. These rich people never lacked romantic debts, and it was not easy for them as masters to deal with.

Hearing this, I asked Master Liang why the two of them came here in person this time. These people are used to being pampered, how can they bear this kind of trouble?

Lao Itch said: "What's wrong with this? It's called brain-burning with spare money. It's caused by having too much money. These rich people don't know who they are anymore when they have too much money. They have to find their own value in life." , it’s not surprising that some people who have great wealth still go out to beg for food.”

Master Liang chuckled and said: "I thought so at first, but then I found out that it was not the case. This time, the two of them were very determined. According to my estimation,

There may be a hidden secret here. I think it may be related to the ‘great benefits’ this young man said. "

I saw Master Liang mentioning this, so I took the opportunity to ask Lao Chu: "I said, now that we are here, just tell me what is in this tomb, and what is the great benefit of that day? "

Lao Itch said to me: "I really can't tell you, I'm going to tell you, even if you go down to the pit, you have to turn back, but this thing is definitely good for you, really, you just believe me this time. "

I thought to myself: Why does this sound so awkward? How come there is such a huge benefit that I can't avoid? It's like saying that ice is hot.

Since Lao Itch insists on not saying anything, I won’t force him. We had breakfast, picked up some branches scattered on the pebble beach, wrapped one end of it with clothes, poured it with soju, lit it and used it as a torch, but we had a bottle of soju and could only make a handful.

These branches were washed here from upstream along the current, and were stranded on the pebble beach, just within our reach.

I picked up my backpack, took off my clothes and tied them around my waist, and tightened my shoelaces. After the three of them were ready, they began to try the first step of climbing down. Ironically, among the three of them, I may be considered to have the strongest physical strength, so I hold the torch. I think that when I was in King Lu's palace that day, I was completely in the rank of adding a head. Why did I take on such a heavy responsibility this time? I don't know. What's going on.

That being said, I have nothing to say about the current situation. Step by step, we slowly lowered our bodies to the bottom of the cliff and climbed towards the dark bottom of the cave.

This climb was very difficult, and I almost slipped off the cliff a few times, but overall, what Lao Itch said was right. Although it is steep here, it is not difficult to climb. Even the little girl can climb if you are brave and careful. Being able to climb down is just a waste of time.

When we were halfway down, Master Liang's feet were shaking so much. It seemed like this man was not used to climbing mountains. I thought he was too weak, so I said to him: If you can't stand it, just go up and wait for us. We'll be there soon. Come out, you won't be short of things. He refused to live or die, probably because he was afraid that we would not come back after we left. He insisted on advancing and retreating with us. In order to accommodate him, we had to crawl up and down, which probably cost more than half of the time. While I was packing a cigarette, my feet touched the ground I had not seen for a long time.

Looking at those coffins from the ground, it doesn't feel as spectacular as looking down from above, but it's definitely not a pleasant experience. The coffins are made of simple wooden boards, a little bit like the Han coffins, which are bigger at one end and smaller at the other. It looks like a real Han coffin, but it is much different from a real Han coffin. In addition, after being in a cold and humid cave where the sun cannot reach it for many years, the coffin shows a moldy black color, and the air is filled with thick mold. taste.

I helped Master Liang down from the cliff. He staggered onto a coffin frame, crushing a hole in the already rotten coffin. I held him back from sinking in. He finally stood firm. He wiped the sweat from his head and said: "I really made you laugh. I have been weak and sick since I was a child. I fall down when the wind blows. With my body and bones, I am afraid there will be no next time in this business of fighting."

I said to him: "It's okay. The division of labor in society is different. You are just like Indiana Jones, so we don't need to eat anymore." I raised the torch to illuminate the surroundings to see what the road would be like. Walk.

A path leads directly to the front between the coffins, but the firelight is limited. We can only see more than ten meters away, and we can't see any further away. However, when we looked on the cliff, we already saw that this path leads directly to the flat land. Up there, I guess I can get there just by moving forward. The smell here was so unpleasant that I thought I might be in danger of being poisoned if I stayed too long, so I immediately asked them to clear the way.

Master Liang was too exhausted. He saw that I was about to leave as soon as I came, so he grabbed me and said, "No...I can't do it anymore. I really can't walk anymore. Please let me take a breath here first and take a look." Look, is this a cave burial? I...I think something is wrong?"

After listening to Master Liang's words, I turned around to look at the coffin beside me. Together we moved towards the hole that had been pressed out for him. Unfortunately, the light from the torch was not focused, and the contents inside were basically unclear, so I asked him : "I don't see anything wrong. When I was reading the cave burial introduction, the coffin in the picture looked like this. What do you think is wrong?"

He said to me: "The coffins are the same as those buried in caves, but you only know one and not the other. Look, there are no wooden shelves around these coffins. The Miao people's coffins are separated by tic-tac-toe shelves. Yes, the shapes of men’s and women’s shelves are different, but here they look like stacks of containers, which is unreasonable.”

When I heard what he said, I didn't have a clear idea, so I had to ask him if this wasn't a cave burial, what would it be?

Master Liang said to me: "You can't tell it now. If we want to know the actual situation, we have to open the coffin and take a look."

Lao Itch laughed and said: "You said it lightly. Opening a coffin is a big or small matter. If we open a zongzi, we don't have black donkey hooves. You can't jump or jump. No, I’m afraid all three of us have to explain here, and there must be no underworld weapon in this kind of coffin, so there’s no point in opening it.”

I have the same idea as Lao Itch. I think there is no need to open the coffin. The most important thing right now is to enter the tomb. I will study this kind of trivial matter later when I have the opportunity. If I don’t have the chance, that’s it. We don’t have to. Everything had to be clarified, so I said to Master Liang: "Well, let's not open the coffin yet. Just take a good rest. In a place like this, you should not touch other things or touch them as little as possible. It's always itchy." You're right, we don't have any equipment right now, and this is someone else's territory, so we should restrain ourselves."

Master Liang told me that he was murmuring in his heart. He must have heard a lot about zongzi before. He nodded and said to us: "Okay, listen to the two brothers. We can just rest for a while and move forward." .”

I saw that the torch was burning so hard that the flame could not last long, and I became anxious. If the torch went out in a place like this, it would be very difficult to think of ways to make lighting. In the worst case, we would have to touch the coffin. They were walking, so they were not allowed to rest much. They squatted for a few times before urging them on.

We walked forward along the path. There were rows and rows of coffins on both sides. The bottom of the cave was mud. This surprised me. It was not very solid to walk on. I thought that these black things might be dead people and It was mixed with rotten coffins, and I felt a cold feeling on the soles of my feet.

After walking for a while, the flames of the torches became smaller, and the scope of the light gradually shrank. We increased our pace and began to trot forward. As I ran, I began to feel strange. Looking down from the cliff, the distance here was only more than 200 meters. , the foot strength is at its worst and we must be there within five minutes. How come we have walked for nearly a quarter of an hour and still can’t see the shadow of the pit? Could it be that this place is in the dark and it took a wrong turn somewhere?

We ran forward for another cigarette, but we were still the same old itch. We could only see the coffin in front and behind us, and it was completely dark in the distance. I couldn't help cursing secretly. I miscalculated this time. I didn't expect to get down to the end. The view here is restricted by the coffin. It looks the same everywhere, and now I don’t know which corner it has gone to.

At this time, Master Liang was really desperate. He grabbed me and gasped, and said, "Little Brother Wu, don't... run away. It's useless. We may have been tricked."
