City Marshal

The strange faces around Yu Xiaoli were startled when they heard Chutian stop, thinking that Chutian was going to prevent them from getting rich, they all looked at Chutian gloomyly, and some even half-surrounded him.

Yu Xiaoli didn't stop her subordinates this time, and asked calmly: "Chutian, what's your opinion?" Yu Xiaoli had already reached the last step, and now she found the tomb, and with their equipment, the contents inside were already in their pockets. Chutian's value to her has dropped a lot, so naturally he has no fear.

"If you open these three doors, you can indeed see the tomb, but you will also be washed away by the flood or killed by other creatures." Chu Tian said calmly, "If my estimation is correct, Two of them are the gates of death, and one is the gate of life."

Yu Xiaoli's complexion changed. The danger of this journey made her feel lingering fear. Chutian's deduction is always correct. Maybe something serious will happen if he opens the wrong door. Seeing that Chutian is so calm, he smiled slightly and said: "If that's the case, then ask Brother Chu for help."

Chutian smiled secretly, wanting to use this to force Yu Xiaoli to show her true colors, clapped her hands and said, "Why should I help? I suddenly don't want to take the risk to continue walking, not to mention that we have found the place where the tomb is, Professor Wang can do it." Summon archaeological technicians to come over and decide whether to enter or not after an all-round inspection, right? Professor Wang."

Professor Wang nodded, and found the tomb. Whether it is the original protection or the excavation protection, we have to wait for the higher-ups to send someone to investigate carefully. If we enter rashly, we will destroy many things of research value.

"I'm afraid it's up to you now." Yu Xiaoli waved her hand, and her expression became a little arrogant: "You have to help, and you have to help, maybe you are a genius, maybe you are not afraid of death, but you are not afraid of their death ?"

Yu Xiaoli's finger swept Professor Wang and Fang Qing lightly, making them feel chills involuntarily. Unexpectedly, the teammates who lived and died together became hideous and terrifying in an instant, and it was shameless to threaten Chutian with their lives.

Several people around Yu Xiaoli immediately took out their pistols and pointed them at Professor Wang and Fang Qing, with their fingers on the trigger.

"Yu Xiaoli, what do you want to do? Don't you know the procedures of archaeology?" Professor Wang felt something was wrong when he saw Yu Xiaoli and the others showing their pistols. Why did Yu Xiaoli and the others have guns and explosives, but they still yelled:

"Fortunately, you are still a member of the public. Archaeological excavations must go through strict approval procedures. Unless the cultural relics are damaged by construction and tomb robbery, they can be forced to carry out rescue excavations. Neither you nor I have the right to go in."

Yu Xiaoli didn't look at Professor Wang, the political power came out of the barrel of a gun. Now that she has more people and more guns, she naturally became more courageous. She looked at Chu Tian coldly: "Do you want to drive or not?"

Chu Tian sighed softly, knowing that he could kill these people, but it was not the time, and before killing them, Fang Qing and Professor Wang might also suffer.

Chu Tian walked up to the stone gate, carefully identified it, then knocked on the rightmost stone gate and said, "This is the gate of life."

Yu Xiaoli stepped forward and imitated Chutian to observe carefully for a while, but found nothing, looked up at Chutian: "Why? Why can't I see it? You'd better not make a mistake, don't play tricks, otherwise I will Must have killed them."

"Come here, let me give you a popular science, and you are still fighting, and you don't even have any basic knowledge." Chu Tian snorted softly, ignoring Yu Xiaoli's ugly face, and said lightly:

"The reason is very simple. The things in the gate of death must have been brought in immediately after the tomb was built. Maybe it's all mercury, maybe it's poisonous water. These things can't wait for people to die, right? It's a waste of time, Therefore, after the stone gate of the gate of death was sealed, no one opened it again. You can see that the stone cracks are all glued together; and the gate of life? After the person died, it was opened at least once, otherwise how could the deceased go in?"

Yu Xiaoli seemed to understand a little bit, but she still asked: "After hundreds of years of accumulation and precipitation, even if there is any difference, you can't tell it?"

"This is the Qiankun Gate, a craft left over from the Warring States Period. It has been mentioned several times in ancient technical books. It is said that it can be automatically locked when it is closed, and it needs two people and four hands to push it in different directions at the same time when it is opened." Chu Tian couldn't help sighing secretly about Zhang Tianzong's genius, even a stone gate is so meticulous, it seems that there are many traps inside, so be more careful:

"According to the results of our visit, the owner of this tomb entered it by himself when he was alive. When he opened it, he pushed it open with one person's force. The force was improper, so the stone door was a little damaged. When it was closed, it was not as tight as the other two doors."

Chu Tian added a sentence in his heart: This is purely a personal opinion, and he is responsible for things.

Yu Xiaoli looked at the gap in the door that Chu Tian was pointing at, and she couldn't help nodding. This kid was observant, and his reasoning was well-founded. It seemed trustworthy, not to mention that he still had hostages in his hands, so he didn't dare to act recklessly. Said to the person next to him: "Go and push the stone door open."

Two strong men wearing gas masks and steel wire gloves took a few steps forward and used a knife to clean out the cracks in the door. Then, following Chutian's method, they pushed the stone door in different directions with four hands at the same time.

Everyone hurriedly dodged to the sides, ready to run away at any time.

"Crack, click, click" a few stone doors sounded, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats. If this is the door of death, what terrible things will rush out of it?

"Kacha", Shimen finally stopped, and nothing rushed out. Yu Xiaoli and the others took a look, and immediately filled with bright smiles on their faces. It was really a big tomb. The corridor in front of them was more than ten meters long. In the living room, Yu Xiaoli turned her head and said to the people around her: "After 10 minutes of emitting the gas, then pull the iron net and turn on the light to enter directly."

Although Professor Wang objected to Yu Xiaoli and the others rushing in, he knew that he was alone and could not stop him, and he was curious to see if there was really a sarcophagus inside, so he stopped talking.

Ten minutes later, Yu Xiaoli and the others set up a lighting lamp outside, carefully inspected the corridor, saw many small holes, and knew that there must be hidden organs in the corridor, so they clapped their hands, He Jian and Liu Zuan took out the crossbow arrows, Put on the rope and shoot towards the end of the corridor. After a while, the arrow pierced into the wall of the corridor. Immediately, the two big men put two iron nets on the rope. Another big man took out a flimsy iron sheet and rolled it on the corridor. As soon as the iron sheet rolled on the floor of the corridor, hundreds of sharp arrows were shot from both sides of the corridor. down.

When He Jian and Liu Zuan saw that the sharp arrow stopped flying, they set up an iron net and pulled it apart, and walked back and forth to the end of the corridor, Yu Xiaoli turned to Chu Tian and the others and said, "Hurry up, all of you should hide in the iron net. "

Chu Tian immediately pulled Fang Qing into the iron net. Things shot out from the floor of the corridor continuously, but they were all blocked by the iron net under his feet. Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh secretly, Yu Xiaoli and the others are really advanced, such a thin iron sheet can do nothing. so resistant to resistance.

When everyone was halfway forward, the stone above their heads was slowly pressed down. Yu Xiaoli glanced at it and said lightly, "Six jacks."

Chu Tian watched in amazement as several big men took out several pipes from their backpacks and connected them together, and then placed them in different directions to withstand the crushed boulder. I walked through this corridor in a hurry, and I never encountered any institutions during this period.

Chu Tian was a little surprised, how could these organs be so simple?Could it be that Zhang Tianzong thought that future generations would not be able to find his sarcophagus tomb, and was perfunctory to these anti-tomb robbery agencies?

At the end of the corridor is a solid wall. Turning the passage on the right, the field of vision becomes empty. There seems to be an old sarcophagus tomb on the open space of several hundred square meters. Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly gathered around to take a closer look.

This sarcophagus tomb is polished and carved with a whole piece of bluestone, and assembled into a rectangular stone box, which is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. The bottom layer is buried in the soil; the upper and middle layers are exposed to the surface, about 1.5 meters high; There are stone pillars on the outside of the stone wall in the middle layer, and rich and vivid bas-relief scenes are carved on the stone wall. On the upper layer, there are pictures of horseback riding, cattle herding, figures traveling, and the Eight Immortals.

There are also words such as "The world is full of fate, and the fairyland of driving cranes". The middle layer has images of lions, unicorns, elephants, cows, sheep, phoenixes, starlings, etc., as well as patterns of trees, flowers, grass, and gourds.

In front of the sarcophagus tomb is a tombstone with uncolored inscriptions engraved on it. Chu Tian knew that the inscriptions were written in the ancient characters of the Shui tribe. After looking closely, he sighed lightly. It was indeed Zhang Tianzong’s sarcophagus tomb. The back of the stone box was engraved with cranes, phoenixes or gourds , all these patterns are exquisitely carved, properly proportioned and lifelike.

"Hey, how much does it cost to make such a coffin?" Li Jiujiu sighed.

Professor Wang was also very excited. At this time, he could no longer manage any archaeological procedures. His hands trembled slightly when he touched the sarcophagus tomb hundreds of years ago. Economy and history have epoch-making significance.

At least it can sell for several million.Yu Xiaoli inspected the sarcophagus tomb with professional eyes. These sarcophagus plates are all natural and valuable. She thought happily that this sarcophagus alone is worth so much money, and the things inside should have more market value. This time it was really not in vain.

Yu Xiaoli seemed to have already figured out the structure and characteristics of the sarcophagus tomb, and murmured to herself: "The bottom layer of the sarcophagus tomb is used to bury the dead, and the middle and upper layers are used to store the buried clothes, jewelry and grains. It depends on this." It's two floors."

"Hurry up, find a way to open the sarcophagus and see what valuables are inside." Yu Xiaoli couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, and shouted to the people around her: "I hope I can find a good buyer this time and sell it for a good price .”

"What? Are you going to open the coffin? Are you selling funeral objects?" Professor Wang only reacted now, and roared, "Yu Xiaoli, you forced your way in. I haven't said anything. Now you are opening a museum without authorization to steal funeral objects." , You are breaking the law, you are committing a crime, the law of our country clearly stipulates that all cultural relics left in the ground, inland water and territorial sea within the territory of the Celestial Dynasty belong to the state, and no unit or individual is allowed to excavate without authorization.”

Yu Xiaoli snorted heavily: "Not only do I want to take the funeral objects, but I also want to take your lives. I will deal with you after I finish the matter. Xu Jiajia, you watch them, and if you dare to move around, I will kill them." After finishing speaking , Yu Xiaoliyu waved her hand, and seven or eight people immediately put on gas masks and steel wire gloves, and under the illumination of the lamp, they pushed the top cover of the sarcophagus with all their strength.

When Xu Jiajia heard Yu Xiaoli's words, her expression tightened, and she took out her pistol and pointed it at Chutian and the others.

Within a few minutes, the lid of the sarcophagus was pushed, and seven or eight people stood still for a while, adjusted the angle and carefully moved it to the side, and then quickly moved away, afraid of being tricked by some mechanism. Too close, and after a while, nothing happens.

All the people came forward to check, their gazes cast into the coffin and they couldn't help but turn pale in surprise. Yu Xiaoli put on infrared glasses and looked at it, it turned out to be a mummy, holding a non-rust sword in her hand, and a piece of meat on her chest. Crystal clear jade.

"Why is the upper class burying people?" Yu Xiaoli was a little surprised. Although it was a little different from what she thought, she was still very happy. This sword, this piece of jade, and even this mummy all have great market value. As for the price, only Tang Dalong can estimate it.

"Move down the corpse, and put the saber and jade." Yu Xiaoli gave the order excitedly: "Then open the lower two floors for me." Surprisingly, the upper floor was buried, and the lower two floors should be placed for funerary objects.

When Chu Tian saw the big man take out the piece of jade with a clip and put it into a sealed vacuum bag, he wondered why the quality of that piece of jade was so similar to the unnamed jade on his body.

Seeing Yu Xiaoli and the others moving things in the sarcophagus tomb, Professor Wang couldn't help stepping on it, but seeing Xu Jiajia's black muzzle, he could only sigh, these damned tomb robbers, they ruined the country's things like this , Professor Wang even regretted that he went to Chu Tianshi to read the sheepskin map. If he knew this, it would be far better to let the sarcophagus tomb disappear forever in this vast mountain than to be ruined by these people.

At this time, more than a dozen big men acted immediately, and the division of labor was very tacit. It may be that there is no mechanism on the first floor, so I felt a lot more relaxed, so when I went to open the second floor, I didn’t have the vigilance just now. Their hands had just been removed from the second coffin lid, and when the smell dissipated, they poked their heads over and looked around, without showing any expressions on their faces.

There was the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air with a 'whoosh whoosh', and they shot obliquely towards both sides of the sarcophagus.
