Chapter 646 The Bronze Door
Liu Jingfeng was behind Lin Ran and asked, "Brother Lin, do you feel something strange?"
Lin Ran heard something was wrong in his tone and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
"I feel something is wrong, but I can't put it into words." Liu Jingfeng said, "Maybe I encountered too many strange things along the way, and I thought too much."
"It's okay, Wang Jinpeng and I are in front." Lin Ran comforted.
After a short rest, they moved on.
The corridor in front of us slowly went downwards, and the road surface was very narrow.
Wang Jinpeng, who was walking at the front, was about to speed up when Lin Ran pulled him from behind.
"I have seen in Brother Lu's notes that there will be holes or cliffs in this kind of mountain tomb, and you can fall in if you are not careful. So, don't walk too fast and pay attention to the mechanisms under your feet."
At the same time, Lin Ran turned on the flashlight and took pictures in all directions.
The surrounding walls were crystal clear under the flashlight, reflecting light and looking quite beautiful.
"What are these? Crystals?" Wang Jinpeng asked excitedly.
"I've thought too much, it should be ice." Lin Ran said with a smile. No traps or dangers were found for the time being, so he could move on.
As they moved forward, Lin Ran explained: "Mausoleums are built in mountains, often in natural caves, and are rarely dug manually. Most of the caves are very humid, and the water falling on the top of the mountain will soak into the soil, and then in the cave Oozing.”
"The temperature inside the cave is low, so ice forms. This is a normal phenomenon."
Wang Jinpeng felt curious and reached out to touch it. Then he retracted his hand from the cold and said, "It's really ice."
The others laughed, lightening the mood a bit, and they moved on.
Soon, they reached the end of the corridor.
Looking down, a bronze door just stood in front of everyone.
Liu Jingfeng knocked on the bronze door, and there was a crisp echo.
He tsked and praised: "Brother Lin's guess is indeed correct, this should be the emperor's tomb!"
Bronze doors usually represent the tombs of nobles.
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning took out tools from their backpacks and prepared to pry open the door. His tool had just been inserted into the crack of the door.
Just listen to Lin Ran shout: "Squat down quickly!"
He and Xu Ning reacted quickly and squatted down immediately when they heard the sound.
Immediately afterwards, a rusty crossbow arrow hit the bronze door against his back, making a crisp sound, and then fell to the ground.
The sudden arrow made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
Wang Jinpeng squatted on the ground and did not dare to move, and asked: "Brother Lin, can you stand up now?"
"It should be gone..." Lin Ran said with lingering fear.
Fortunately, he had just focused on the wall behind him. When the tool was inserted into the crack of the door, a small hole appeared in the wall.
He shouted these words subconsciously, but unexpectedly saved Wang Jinpeng's life.
"But don't open the door yet." He held up the flashlight and shined it towards the wall.
If you don't look carefully, you won't notice the arrows on the wall. Unfortunately, most of the arrows are stuck.
Fortunately, it took too long and the mechanism has failed.
If so many arrows had been shot at the same time, everyone present, let alone Wang Jinpeng, would have been shot into hedgehogs.
Just in case, he called Xu Ning over and dismantled the arrowhead with him.
The densely packed arrows made their scalps tingle.
After working for a while and making sure that there were no arrow holes in the surrounding walls, Lin Ran said, "You can open the door now."
Their attention returned to the bronze tomb door.
This bronze door is actually two doors on the left and right.
The carved patterns on the two doors are very unique.It seems like it should have special meaning and be related to their culture.
The tool Wang Jinpeng used to open the door turned out to be an iron piece.
"What is this?" Lin Ran asked curiously. He thought Wang Jinpeng could only use brute force.
"I don't know what it's called. After robbing a tomb last time, I felt that my level was limited, so I asked Master Zhenbao to teach me something, and he taught me this trick." Wang Jinpeng said while playing with the iron piece.
He tested it with an iron piece, then pulled it out, used both hands to twist the iron piece into a T-shape, and then reinserted it into the gap in the tomb door.
The thickness of this piece of iron is about five millimeters, and it is impossible for ordinary people to deform it with their hands, which shows Wang Jinpeng's strength.
There was no complaint from Huang Hao, they were all watching Wang Jinpeng open the door quietly.
After a moment, the tomb door made a clicking sound.
"It should be open." Wang Jinpeng tried to push the door, and the door on the left was slowly pushed open.
He turned around with a smile and said, "Look, I can help too."
Liu Jingfeng burst out laughing: "Jin Peng, you have always been the main force of our team, and now you have an additional skill. From now on, you will be the core of our team."
"That's a must." Wang Jinpeng grabbed the backpack on the ground, walked toward the door in a graceful manner, and said, "Everyone, please follow me in."
Liu Jingfeng nodded and followed behind.
I saw a large number of funerary objects placed in the tomb, and vessels of various materials scattered on the ground.
There are gold, silver, bronze, porcelain, and wooden wares.
Everyone happily walked towards the funerary objects, and Lin Ran picked up a gold cup and examined it.
It turned out to be an eight-sided gold cup with a human pattern!
The golden cup in the hand is well-proportioned and plump, and weighs a ton. It is obviously designed to imitate the Tang Dynasty goldware, and its appearance is solemn.
The cup body is eight-sided, and each side is engraved with different scenes of life, such as farming, grazing, hunting, riding horses, and going to court.
The graphics are beautiful and clearly the work of a master.
The biggest difference compared with the eight-sided gold cup with Tang character patterns collected in the Shaanxi Museum is that this eight-sided gold cup depicts the life of the Khitan people.
One of them depicts climbing a mountain.
Everyone held the utensils inside, and Liu Jingfeng said happily: "Brother Lin, do you think these things are valuable?"
"Of course, there is either gold or silver here. Even the most common wooden items, the museum is willing to buy them at a high price." Lin Ran replied with a smile.
The unearthing of these cultural relics can make up for the missing parts of Khitan culture.
But they were in no hurry to put the cultural relics into their backpacks. It was impossible for anyone else to come to such a place. Besides, there were A Ming and Huang Hao guarding outside the mausoleum.
Wang Jinpeng then turned his attention to the room on the left side of the tomb and said, "There seems to be a lot of things there, let's go and have a look."
The three of them put down the things in their hands very simply.
He raised his flashlight and walked into the room on the left.
This place is like an armory, with a large row of weapons, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes and hammers, but they are scattered on the ground.
When being buried, they should be placed neatly.
It's just that there are often shaking in the mountains, so I fell to the ground.
But what attracted their attention was the big box behind the weapon.
