The Explanation Is Not Clear, The Tomb Robbery Novel I Wrote Came True

Following the order of the old professor.

The big guys lined up in a long line and entered the main tomb through the tomb door one after another.

To be honest, Chu Yun's first reaction when he entered the last tomb was that the air inside was a bit stuffy, giving people a very turbid feeling.

In fact, not only Chu Yun, Professor Wen and others couldn't help but frown, as if they didn't expect this air change to be so obvious.

Of course, the main reason is because the area of ​​the main tomb is very small.

Compared with the tomb where the statue is placed, the area difference between the two is probably more than five times, and even the height seems to be shorter.

It is precisely because of the small size of the main tomb and the closed door of the tomb that there is no air replacement at all.

So with so many people pouring in at once, it seemed very dull.

Professor Wen looked around, and after looking around, he said in a bit of bewilderment: "If it weren't for the coffin placed here, I wouldn't dare to believe that this is actually the main tomb, not the one outside."

Many experts in the team echoed Professor Wen's statement.

This is also where they feel puzzled.

Often when they explore ancient tombs, the specifications are progressive and superimposed in order.

It is already a basic rule that the farther to the back and the higher the status of the person, the larger the area of ​​the tomb.

However, at this moment, this rule has been completely reversed. The main tomb is small and the accompanying tomb is large, which seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

And after listening to Professor Wen's question.

Chu Yun, who was originally observing the sarcophagus, replied casually: "Perhaps the builder intentionally made the main tomb chamber so small."

"Didn't Cao Cao say before he died that he was required to have a simple burial in his tomb, without expensive funeral objects, or in a grand manner?"

"So the builder deliberately reduced the area of ​​the main tomb, so as to reflect the meaning of following Cao Cao's order."

"As for the size of the tomb outside, I think it's purely for the convenience of the stone puppets. If the space is too small, it won't be enough for the monster to perform."

Chu Yun just finished speaking.

Everyone suddenly laughed.

Professor Wen thought about it for a while, and then slapped 28 on the forehead, dumbfounded.

"You really make sense when you say that!"

"However, to be honest, the style of simple burial in Cao Cao's tomb is really not a superficial form, on the contrary, it is so consistent from the inside to the outside."

Professor Wen's words fell in everyone's ears.

It made many people who have observed it carefully, and then nodded their heads in agreement.

And so it is.

The inside of Cao Cao's tomb is simply scary.

Except for the complicated design of various organs and traps, and going straight to the purpose of killing people, there is nothing else.

What gold and silver jewelry, burial with burial, all kinds of high-standard decorations, it can be said that there is nothing.

Such an ancient tomb is simply a rare exception, and it can be called a relatively rare type in ancient history.

Although the tombs of Emperor Yin and Wang Mang that the archaeological team had explored before were all bare and nothing good, they also couldn't see the slightest taste of magnificence.

But that's because of the different identities.

The tomb of Emperor Yin was specially built by Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, to suppress Zhang Changming and curse the feng shui bureau that this guy would never live forever.

It is already a great effort to repair this ancient tomb so that it is completely airtight, not to mention putting a Marquis Bead in the coffin.

As for what grandeur, gold, silver and jewelry you want, just lie on the kang and wait.

And Wang Mang's tomb is similar, this tomb was built for him by Liu Xiu, the two are deadly rivals with naturally opposing positions, how can they expect to repair it well?

But Cao Cao is different!

As a hero at the end of the Han Dynasty and the overlord of the Central Plains, when Cao Cao was dying, he was the ruler of the entire north of the Yangtze River.

The Cao Wei family has mastered most of the wealth of the entire Han family.

But Cao Cao still asked for a thin burial.

This appears to be very unique.

After all, the vast majority of emperors and ministers throughout the ages advocate rich burials and demand that their ancient tombs be made magnificent, just like the residences they lived in during their lifetime.

But Cao Cao did the opposite.

This may also be an important reason why his ancient tomb has not been visited for thousands of years.

Due to the small size of the tomb.

Therefore, the entire archaeological team's exploration of the four sides did not take a few minutes. After all, it is only so big that the bottom can be seen at a glance.

After confirming that there was no other information around, everyone turned their attention to the sarcophagus quietly placed in the center of the tomb.

Perhaps it is the reason that they belong to the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao's sarcophagus is exactly the same style as the sarcophagus used to bury Wang Mang before, whether it is the coffin lid, coffin body or coffin walls, it can be said that there is not much difference.

The whole body is made of white marble, and under the light, this sarcophagus can even faintly reflect a faint white fluorescence.

In this environment, not only does it not have the eerie feeling of seeing the coffin in the underground tomb, but it can also give people a sense of stability.

After going around the coffin a few times, carefully observing and exploring the entire coffin, and confirming that there are no patterns or words left on the four sides.

Professor Wen handed the flashlight to the assistant, and then waved to the staff to lift the coffin lid, while putting on professional gloves.

Slap!

Pat!

With several locks fastened, a relatively simple lifting ring device was built in the tomb.

Under the wave of an expert, several staff members immediately exerted their strength.

"Gah!"

There was a sound of stone rubbing due to the perennial closure, and the coffin lid, which was not too heavy, was immediately lifted.

It slowly moved into mid-air, and then was placed on the ground next to it.

With the coffin lid opened.

Professor Wen and others immediately stepped forward.

But before they cast their gazes into the coffin, everyone covered their noses one after another, many of them frowned, and even took a few steps back.

There was a strange smell in the coffin.

It is a strange smell mixed with the smell of incense and rancidity.

The sourness is indescribable.

At the first glance, everyone couldn't stand it on the spot. Except for the old man like Professor Wen who has a strong tolerance, how can ordinary people bear it.

Even Professor Wen frowned, and then spoke to everyone in an explanatory tone.

"When rich people were buried in ancient times, in order to ensure that the corpses in the coffin could be stored for a longer period of time and ensure the environment inside the coffin, some special incense would be placed.

"But no matter how powerful the incense is, it cannot resist the passage of time and the laws of nature. No matter how long the corpse is kept, it will rot."

"And in this process, a rancid smell is naturally produced."

"In addition to the fact that the inside of the coffin is completely sealed, these two smells have been mixed with each other for an unknown number of years, so you all react so violently when you smell it now.

For Professor Wen's explanation.

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.

In fact, when working in the Institute of Archaeology, everyone knows this basic common sense, but it was just a moment of negligence and no attention.

After all, the tombs of the Yin Emperor and Wang Mang that I experienced before either used golden men instead of corpses, or they were clothes tombs, so there would be no such reaction.

In this way, everyone has forgotten this most basic knowledge point, and without checking for a while, they were caught in such a stench.

Waited for about a few minutes.

After confirming that most of the strange smell in the coffin had dissipated, the experts and scholars in the team gathered around again.

With the light shining, everything in the coffin is naturally presented to everyone.

Inside lay a dead body.

To be precise, there was a skeleton lying inside, and apart from the bones, no other tissue components could be seen.

The skull on the head, as well as the ribs, chest, limbs, etc., are all clearly visible.

In addition, there are more than half of the torso bones covered by clothes.

To be honest, just looking at these ordinary skeletons, they seem to be no different from the skeletons in the hospital.

If it hadn't been known in advance that this was Cao Cao's tomb, and Cao Cao was buried in the coffin, I am afraid that no one would be able to judge any important information based on this pile of bones.

Although they have been in the archaeological industry for some years, they have seen many scenes like this.

But Professor Wen still felt emotional at the moment.

Sure enough, time is the most ruthless!

Regardless of the overlord of a generation, the hero of the world, with thousands of troops in hand, he is a legendary figure recorded in the history.

After death, it is just a corpse. After the passage of time, it will eventually become a pile of bones, and may even become a handful of loess.

No matter how rich you were, no matter how great power and status you had in life, you can't take it with you after death.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the emperors and generals of all dynasties struggled to pursue immortality and wanted to live forever.

Professor Wen didn't move the bones randomly.

Instead, let the staff take pictures first and record some layouts in the coffin.

Although there is nothing to be seen from this pile of skeletons, if you take it back for instrument inspection, you can still find some information.

For example, for skeleton restoration, the research institute has relied on this technology to infer the appearance of some historical figures, but it is not known whether it is accurate or not.

At the same time, there are clothes worn by Cao Cao.

It is also the clothes of princes, which is very similar to that in Wang Mang's tomb.

Wang Mang was an emperor, but he was not recognized by Liu Xiu, so he could only be equipped with the specifications of a prince.

After Cao Cao's death, when Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he named Cao Cao the Emperor Wu of Wei Taizu, but the clothes were still the same as Cao Cao's before his death.

In addition, what is more conspicuous is a crown on the top of the skull, which is also black as a whole.

For this crown, Professor Wen undoubtedly has a relatively large research interest.

After all, for the clothing characteristics of an era, in addition to the most basic clothes and pants, the crowns of princes and generals are also very important research directions.

So after letting the assistant on the side light up.

Professor Wen came to the head of the coffin, then carefully picked up the crown with both hands, and then gently took it out of the coffin.

However, just as the old professor was about to lift it up to study, he suddenly looked into the coffin with some suspicion.

"Xiao Wang, come here and take a picture."

"Is there something under this crown?"

When the assistant Xiao Wang heard Professor Wen's words, he ran to the side in two or three steps, and then took a bright flashlight to shine straight down.

In the next second, the assistant's voice of surprise rang in everyone's ears.

"Teacher, there is really something here!"

"It looks like a book!"

Hearing the assistant's exclamation, Professor Wen's whole body was shocked suddenly, his eyes seemed to glow substantially, and his whole body was a little bit refreshed.

There are priorities.

The same goes for archaeological research.

Compared with researching the crown, it is obvious that 680 things that are written books are more valuable.

After all, they have seen a lot of crowns from the Han Dynasty. Although it is rare to see someone as big as Cao Cao, but

Nothing particularly rare either.

So there is research value, but not that urgent.

But books are different!

This is something that carries written records.

If they are lucky, they may be able to find more important information from books, or even discover some truths that have been lost in history, and supplement their country's historical background.

So Professor Wen took a deep breath.

Then carefully put the crown on the tray held by the staff next to it.

Then he got together with several other experts and scholars, bowed down one after another, and observed the head of the coffin.

As described by assistant Xiao Wang, this object does look like a book in appearance.

It was blocked by the crown before, so I didn't find it all at once.

But when Professor Wen picked up the crown, he naturally exposed it.

There is no reckless move of books.

On the contrary, Professor Wen analyzed and said: "According to this position, this book can be said to be under Cao Cao's head."

"Generally, the position where the back of the head is pressed is a relatively important area for people, and it is even more representative in tombs."

"In Cao Cao's coffin, if this book is placed under Cao Cao's head, either it is very valuable, or it is something Cao Cao has been thinking about."

"It seems that this ancient book may be a great harvest for our exploration of Cao Cao's tomb this time."

Everyone nodded happily to Professor Wen's statement.

This inference is perfectly reasonable.

Just like some people like to put their mobile phones under their pillows when they sleep, or put their wallets and the like under their pillows when they go out.

This is a security habit.

At the same time, it also shows the importance attached to such objects.

Now it is deduced to the coffin, and the tomb layout is the same. This ancient book is likely to record some important information, or it is a very valuable item in itself.

Everyone in the archaeological team was naturally happy.

Having gone through all kinds of hardships and narrowly escaped death to come here, if there is a harvest worthy of these dangers, it will certainly be exciting and joyful.

Professor Wen was not in a hurry to get the book out.

Instead, he carefully observed the surface of the ancient book for a while.

"The cover of this book has some signs of wear and corrosion, and the words on the surface are hard to read, so I can barely make out the word "green" on the top."

After speaking, Professor Wen gestured.

Then several old comrades rushed to bring this book out together.
