"Could it be...... This is the senior master who designed the tomb?" Looking at the gossip pattern on the Taoist robe that had not yet decayed, such an idea came to Ye Tian's mind.
In order to ensure the confidentiality and safety of the tomb and prevent future generations from robbing the tomb, ancient emperors would kill all the laborers and craftsmen who built the tomb, the most famous of which was naturally the hundreds of thousands of craftsmen buried in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.
Since the Qin Dynasty, although successive emperors have declared that they will no longer use living people for burial, those who build mausoleums are not among them.
As for the designer of the mausoleum, it was even more among the must-kills, so it was very reasonable for Ye Tian to infer that this corpse was the feng shui master at that time.
"Don't blame the seniors, the juniors will recite the rebirth mantra to help you transcend reincarnation!"
Although the flesh and skin on the bones here had long since decayed, there was still an unpleasant smell left, Ye Tian didn't squat down, and directly gently flicked the bones with the Yanyue knife in his hand.
"Indeed!"
When the corpse was moved by Ye Tian, a compass slipped down from the Taoist robe, but this compass, which was originally supposed to be a magic weapon, had become completely powerless after the thousand-year erosion of the yin evil in the tomb.
"Huh? Is there anything else?"
After the compass slid out, Ye Tian found that there seemed to be a black mass in the part of the man's thigh bone, and immediately used the crescent knife to pick open the clothes on his body.
"Damn, how many arrows did you take?"
After picking out the Taoist's decayed clothes, Ye Tian was suddenly stunned, because in the bones between his chest and abdomen, there were at least twenty or thirty arrow clusters densely packed.
Thinking that this Taoist was not a good person, he resisted fiercely when he was about to be killed, but after all, his fists were invincible to his four hands, and he was finally killed here by arrows.
"No matter how strong your personal ability is, you are not an opponent of the imperial court!" Ye Tian shook his head, and also warned himself with these words, and then looked at the man's thigh bone.
At the base of the man's thigh, there was a black object the size of a palm, which was supposed to be tied with a cowhide band, but after the flesh and skin rotted, the object was stuck in his bones.
"Is it an iron box?" Ye Tian gently touched the flat object with the Glaive Knife, and it actually made a sound of metal clashing.
"Could it be the secret technique of inheritance passed down by this person?"
Ye Tian no longer cared about the unpleasant temperature on the ground, squatted down and took out the box, "Huh? It's not an iron box, it's actually wooden?"
The box is very heavy to the touch, but it does not have a metallic texture, but is made of agarwood, and there is a faint fragrance on the tip of the nose.
Ye Tian felt excited in his heart, modern magic was weak, except for his own inheritance, he could no longer see anyone else in the strange sect, thinking that the wooden box in his hand was most likely the inheritance of the Taoist, Ye Tian's heart suddenly became hot.
The copper buttons of the wooden box were still well preserved, Ye Tian picked up the buttons and reached out to open the box.
"Silk?"
Looking at a thin piece of silk in the wooden box, Ye Tian was ecstatic in his heart, although there was already paper in the Tang Dynasty, but for some valuable records, most of them were written on silk, which must be the inheritance of the Taoists.
Before he could think about it, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and took it out, but the accident happened at this moment, the silk he was holding in his hand was like powder, and it turned into flying ash with Ye Tian's movements.
"Huh? This...... What's going on?"
Ye Tian is not a professional archaeologist after all, and even his awareness of the protection of cultural relics in the tomb is not as good as the half-hanging tomb robber Zhou Xiaotian above.
Ye Tian didn't know that these objects that had been sealed in the tomb for thousands of years, once they encountered oxygen, would quickly rot into ashes if they were not professionally cared for.
When a well-preserved tomb in China was opened, the archaeological staff watched a square table slowly change color, and when the wind sent in by the blower blew over the square table, the entire square table turned to ashes.
"Damn, this ...... What should I do?"
Although he also guessed the principle at this time, he didn't know how to stop the aging of the silk.
"By the way, yin energy should be able to preserve these silks!" Ye Tian's heart suddenly moved, he remembered that Master seemed to have said that the yin soil and yin energy that did not see sunlight in the tomb were all artifacts that could preserve the oxidized objects in the tomb.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian exerted a slight force on his right hand, activating the evil energy in the Yanyue Knife, and an extremely yin qi overflowed from the Yanyue Knife, enveloping the wooden box.
Sure enough, just as Ye Tian guessed, when the yin energy wrapped around the wooden box, the aging of the silk in it suddenly stopped, but when Ye Tian reached out to take it again, his heart was full of bitterness.
During the short time when the silk was in contact with the air, the silk, which was about a finger thick, was all rotten, and Ye Tian could only pinch a handful of ashes when he carried it with two fingers.
"It's a pity, I'm such a fucking prodigal!" Ye Tian wanted to cry without tears at the moment, and sighed in one breath, the ashes flew in the wooden box and floated in the tomb.
"Huh? Is there anything else?" When Ye Tian's eyes looked at the bottom of the box, his heart couldn't help but "dong dong" again, because he found that there was still a folded cyan fabric in the wooden box.
While nourishing the wooden box with yin energy, he released the qi machine and sensed the location of the yin soil in this tomb.
The so-called yin soil in Qimen, firstly, has never seen the light of day, and secondly, it needs to be nourished by yin energy.
However, under Ye Tian's sense, he quickly noticed the difference under a brick paved with a floor, and after stretching out the crescent moon knife and priying out the square brick, Ye Tian pinched up a small pinch of soil inside.
Sprinkle this pinch of yin soil on the fabric, Ye Tian secretly prayed in his heart, "I hope this thing can save this piece of clothing!"
Stuffing the lid of the wooden box into his tights, Ye Tian looked at the corpse and hesitated.
In a sense, a person dies for the sake of peace, as a senior in Qimen, since Ye Tian met him, it was fate, he should help this person pack up the bones and bury them separately.
Moreover, Ye Tian got great benefits in this tomb, and it was all thanks to this person, and if he didn't clean up the bones, it would be a bit unreasonable.
After thinking for a while, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and tore off the two trouser legs, bowed to the Taoist bones, and chanted: "Senior, I have offended!"
Regardless of the fishy smell coming from his nose, Ye Tian put all the bones of the Taoist into his trouser legs piece by piece.
"It's time to leave!" After looking back at several huge coffins in the tomb, Ye Tian took the Taoist's bones and the Yanyue Knife, walked out of the back tomb, and returned to the ground along the corridor.
"Who?!"
Ye Tian had just come out of the robber's cave, and Zhou Xiaotian, who was sleeping on the side with dry grass on his head, jumped up.
"What are you shouting about? Be quiet!"
At this time, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and the sound of roosters crowing in the village in the distance could be heard in my ears.
"Brother Ye, is it you?"
Hearing Ye Tian's voice, Zhou Xiaotian was suddenly surprised, especially after seeing the trouser legs and the moon knife held by Ye Tian in both hands, Zhou Xiaotian's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
Although Ye Tian's trip was to help him resolve the disaster, he drank the northwest wind for Ye Tian for two nights in a row, which was not merit or hard work.
Seeing that the two trouser legs were bulging, and some sharp objects were sticking out, Zhou Xiaotian could conclude that it must be some gold and silver utensils.
Seeing Zhou Xiaotian standing there stupidly in a daze, Ye Tian couldn't help but reprimand: "Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and clean up here, fill in the robbery's hole, it's getting late, let's go back to BJ overnight!"
"Hey, Brother Ye, look, leave it all to me!" Zhou Xiaotian, who was awakened by Ye Tian's words, got busy with the sapper shovel, and after more than ten minutes, the robbery cave was already restored to its original state.
After Zhou Xiaotian dealt with the robbery's cave, Ye Tian also changed his clothes, and then used the tights he took off to wrap the Taoist's bones and find two hemp ropes that were entangled tightly.
"Let's go!" Ye Tian held the Yanyue knife in one hand and the bag of bones in the other, greeted Zhou Xiaotian, and rushed to the place where he parked.
"Brother Ye, I...... Let me get one for you?"
Who said that Zhou Xiao was naturally cold? At this time, he was very positive, and his eyes were dripping and did not leave Ye Tian's package made of tights.
"Want to help? Okay!" Ye Tian smiled and handed the Yanyue Knife in his right hand to Zhou Xiaotian.
"Damn, this ...... Why is this thing so heavy?"
Originally watching Ye Tian carry the Yanyue Knife as if lifting lightly, Zhou Xiaotian didn't care much in his heart, but when he took the Yanyue Knife, his hands fell down sharply, almost hitting the top of his foot.
"What's wrong? If you can't hold it, give it back to me!" Ye Tian smiled.
If you want to share the spoils, you can't just talk nonsense, now is the opportunity to perform, Zhou Xiaotian quickly said: "Yes, I can handle it!"
Zhou Xiaotian also practiced martial arts, and his arms had a bit of strength, and after holding the Yanyue knife on his shoulder, he could keep up with Ye Tian's footsteps.
