Wu Family Sword Spirit

Chapter 18 General Wen Chao

In fact, I don’t know anything about the structure of the tomb. For burials in our rural areas, we usually dig a pit two to three meters deep, put the coffin directly into it, then fill it with soil, and finally pile it up into a grave. In the village When an old man passed away, I went to see him too. It was very simple.

I know a little bit about the structure of the tombs in ancient times, and I only read them from books.

The road in front of us seemed to be a very long corridor. It was so dark that the end of it could not be illuminated by a flashlight. The corridor was not wide and could accommodate at most three people walking side by side. It was very depressing and made people feel panicked for no reason.

The quiet atmosphere allowed us to hear each other's breathing clearly, especially the pillar behind me. I could hear some trembling in his breathing. He was completely frightened by Zhang Laosan and his family. He was so scared. He would probably tremble when he heard the words "Langtougou" in the future.

The four of us moved slowly forward, and no one dared to make a sound except for breathing.

After walking like this for four or five minutes, I inadvertently glanced at the wall of the corridor with my flashlight. I seemed to see something, so I stopped and walked towards the tomb wall. They The three of them didn't know what was going on, so they all followed me.

When I took a closer look, I found that there were murals on both sides of the corridor. The murals had fallen off in some places, but they could still be seen clearly.

I shined a flashlight on the mural and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Xiaoxu behind him adjusted his glasses and came closer. He also stared at the mural carefully. After looking at it twice, he said seriously: "I think we should be at the end of this article. In the general’s tomb.”

Hearing what he said, several of us turned to look at Xiaoxu. Zhuzhu curled his lips and said unconvinced: "Xiaoxu, don't pretend to be experts here. How many pounds do you have? I don’t know, we all grew up wearing crotchless pants. You are so sure, as if this is your family’s ancestral tomb, and you had the nerve to say it was the tomb of General Wen Dynasty, why didn’t I notice it?”

When Xiaoxu heard Zhuzhu say this, he became a little anxious at the time, and said to him: "You kid only knows how to dig coal, you know nothing about me, no matter what, I also went to a famous university, and drink more than you." I have been doing ink for a few years. Although my major is Yanwen, our school has an archeology department. I know a buddy from the archeology department. I listen to his nonsense when I have nothing to do. I still know a little bit about the study of tombs. .”

Hearing Xiaoxu say this, I immediately became interested. Xiaoxu is a nerd. Among the four of us, he is the good boy who loves to study the most. He always comes first in the exam, which makes my parents often pick on me. Compared with him, I got beaten up a lot, and he did live up to his expectations and got admitted to a top university in the country. However, I was almost expelled from the school because of my bad behavior. I wanted to repeat a year and go to university, but the school would not accept me. That kind of thing, people are really incomparable. I still trust Xiaoxu. He does have more research in this regard than the rest of us.

"Xiao Xu, tell us, what are these murals painted on? Why can't I understand them?" I asked humbly.

It was Xiaoxu's turn to pretend to compete. He cleared his throat in a serious manner, and then said: "Okay, I will try my best to talk to you today. Look, what is painted on this first mural is A general, riding on a horse, holding a sword in his hand, followed by thousands of troops and horses. Judging from the robes worn by the general in this picture, it is obviously worn by the generals of the Wen Dynasty, and the pawns behind are also wearing Wen dynasty uniforms. The army uniforms of the Wen Dynasty, and the troops fighting against the Wen Dynasty general are an insurrectionary team of the Wen Dynasty - the Guards of the Datong World. These have been studied in junior high school history books, so everyone should be familiar with them, right?"

After hearing what Xiaoxu said, we all came to the side of the mural to take a look. It was indeed the same thing. Zhiqiang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Xiaoxu's analysis is correct. It seems that this is really the case." The tomb of a general from the late Wen Dynasty."

Afterwards, Xiao Xu took the flashlight from me and looked at another mural. The murals in the back looked similar to the one in front. The murals are of no practical significance. They are all scenes of the general fighting. It is a few battles he fought against the guards of the Datong world at the end of the Wen Dynasty.

After skipping several battle scenes, Xiaoxu stopped in front of a mural at the back. This mural showed the general on horseback changing his shirt and putting on his official uniform. , wearing a five-clawed python robe, with rows of officers and soldiers kneeling in front of them, so majestic.

Xiaoxu continued to introduce: "The meaning of this picture is that because of his military exploits, this general has wiped out countless enemies, received a reward from the court, was made a second-rank officer, and has countless gold and silver treasures..."

Before Xiao Xu could finish speaking, Zhu Zi quickly interjected, "Wait, Xiao Xu... who is this second-rank official?"

Xiao Xu rolled his eyes at Zhu Zhu and said angrily: "I asked you to read more books, but you didn't listen. Are you dumbfounded now?"

"Don't follow me, I'm dragging you, tell me quickly." Zhu Zhu urged him repeatedly.

"This second-grade official is equivalent to a current official at the level of political history. He can also be regarded as a feudal official at that time..."

"Fuck you!" Zhuzi opened his mouth with a surprised face, and then said: "Such a big official, I didn't expect that such a big official could come out of a remote place like ours. Then wouldn't he be buried in the general's tomb? There are a lot of good things, let’s just grab one or two and sell them, we will definitely make a fortune!”

"Make your damn fortune! These are all the country's things. If you sell them, it's like robbing a grave. You will be sentenced. How many heads have you grown?" Xiaoxu glared at Zhu Zhu.

"Oh...who the hell robbed the tomb? I accidentally fell into this hole, and I didn't intentionally dig up the tomb to steal anything. Besides, since God is destined to let us make this windfall, why not take it? , If you don’t take it, it’s free. If you don’t take it, I’ll take it. When the time comes, you’ll get rich, so don’t be jealous.” Zhu Zhu said with a big mouth.

I glanced at Zhuzi and found that his head had been bleeding. It might have been caused by falling down just now, so I said: "Don't worry about whether there is any treasure here. Let's get out alive. Zhuzi, wipe the blood on your forehead." Don’t you want me to bandage you?”
