Genting Heavenly Palace Chapter 38 The Dead Man in Gold

This tomb is nearly ten times different in height and width than the wine burial chamber I just saw. Four giant pillars full of reliefs stand at the four corners of the tomb. There are many things piled everywhere on the floor of the tomb. As soon as the Leng Yanhuo lit up, we found that it was a small mountain of gold and silver vessels, precious stones, glass, pearls and jade. When we shined our flashlight on it, it was so brilliant that it was almost impossible to look at it.

"My grandpa——" The fat man's eyes were bigger than those of an ox, and his face was distorted.

I was so shocked that I could hardly stand. Pan Zi murmured: "What did I say? The Jurchen treasury, the annual tribute of the Southern Song Dynasty, I am damn right."

I have been involved in this industry for so long, and all I have seen is scrap metal. I thought I would not be able to escape my fate this time. I never thought that there would be so many treasures in the imperial mausoleum of this small, remote and weak country. Is it really true? As Pan Zi said, all the treasures after the destruction of the Jin Dynasty were brought here, so it is not a matter of getting rich. If you just take out a few of the things here, you can eat them for a lifetime.

The fat man wanted to roll into the pile of gold and silverware. I had the urge to roll up there, but I still had some sense in my heart. I held the fat man back and told him not to get carried away. Many of the gold vessels in the tombs were filled with poison. It would be stupid to roll inside and be poisoned. It's best not to touch these things.

But I grabbed the fat man, but not Pan Zi. He had already rushed into the pile of gold vessels, grabbed a handful of gold vessels, and stared at it in amazement. The reflected golden light made his face turn golden. , my whole body was shaking. Then he let go of his hand, and the things fell from the gaps between his fingers, making a metallic impact sound.

I saw that Pan Zi had grabbed a few handfuls and was safe. Knowing that the gold objects were not poisonous, I felt relieved and couldn't help but go up and grab a handful too. That heavy feeling almost made me laugh uncontrollably. I don’t know who said it. Human beings’ love for gold has been written into genes and has become innate and irresistible. Instinct, he was damn right.

Even if I am like me, although I look sanctimonious on the surface, the thrill of seeing gold comes from my heart. Even if I want to lie to myself, I cannot lie to myself. I like these things.

A few people suddenly forgot everything. We ran to this pile and picked up a bunch of things. We ran to that pile again and took out a headband studded with gems and looked at it carefully. Everything is truly top-notch. If you only have one piece, it will be a treasure if you put it in the museum. Now there are so many here, you can take them and step on them casually without feeling a pity.

The fat man on the other side had already begun to put things into his bag. He poured out all his equipment and wanted nothing more. He stuffed it into the bag with all his strength. When it was full, he felt something was wrong, so he poured it all out and stuffed it again. Other things are pretending and making meaningless sounds at the same time.

But soon we all discovered that no matter how we pretended, we could not take away the treasure. Once we pretended to pretend, we would immediately find something better and more precious appearing underneath. If we pretended to pretend it was even more precious, we would find that there had never been anything else. I’ve seen so many treasures that it’s hard to get started with them all of a sudden.

We were crazy for a long time. It wasn't until we were exhausted and everyone calmed down from the extreme excitement that I felt something was wrong. Why didn't I hear Shunzi's voice after I came in?

I wiped the sweat off my head, stood up from the pile of jewelry, looked around with a flashlight, and saw Shunzi standing on a pile of gold objects, looking at something unknown.

I walked over and asked him what he was doing. Aren't you excited to see all this gold?

He didn't speak, but pointed downwards. I followed his flashlight with my flashlight and found that in the middle of several piles of gold objects, surrounded by countless treasures, there were several people huddled motionless inside.

Seems to be dead.

I was immediately startled, and the excitement I had felt suddenly disappeared, and I got goosebumps all over my body.

Fatty and Pan Zi saw Shunzi and I standing there, thinking we had found another treasure. They rushed over to take a look, but they found a few rice dumplings, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

We walked down to the depression in the pile of gold objects, held the flashlight in our backhand, and took a closer look. We found that it was indeed a dead person, and that he had been dead for some time. The skin of the corpse was frozen and dehydrated and turned into an orange peel shape. But the strange thing is that these people are wearing rotten woolen coats, which are modern clothes, and there are a few old-fashioned rucksacks that are in bad shape.

The fat man asked strangely: "What's going on? Who are these people? Our colleagues?"

I shook my head, put on my gloves and looked through the backpacks and clothes of those people. This kind of clothing should be more popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Nowadays, people in their forties and fifties in the rural areas of Northeast China also wear it. We are in the camp I have seen many such half-old men in the mountain village. Judging from the degree of decay, these people must have been dead here for 5-20 years.

Pan Zi asked: "Could it be that the herb collectors or hunters from Changbai Mountain accidentally entered here and died unable to get out?"

"Unlikely." I tore off the clothes of a corpse, which was a female corpse, and looked at the female corpse's ears. There were old-fashioned earrings hanging on them, and there was a watch on her hand, which had stopped rusting long ago. "Look, this is a plum blossom watch. It's an old style. Even people at the mayor level might not be able to get it at that time. This woman has a good background and doesn't look like someone from the countryside."

"Could those be the lost tourists from the 1980s?" Pan Zi asked again, "Did they carve the marks we followed all the way here?"

I shook my head. It was impossible that the mark was carved by them, because I had seen that mark in the tomb under the sea. It must have been carved by someone related, either Aning and the others, or Menyou Pingyun Shenwu. It is possible to say that he is a lost tourist, but can he really get lost and get lost in a place like this? Ordinary people would not dare to go down the underground palace tomb passage without considerable courage.

However, if this woman has some background, such as being the daughter of a leader, or having some connection with local bureaucrats, her disappearance may have a great impact on the local area. Shunzi is not young, and she may have heard about it at the time and wanted to change her mind. The boss asked him if there had been any sensational disappearances here in the past 5 to 20 years.

When I turned around, I saw that Shunzi did not follow us and ran down. He still stayed on the pile of gold objects with a very stiff expression.

I wondered in my heart, could it be that Shunzi was struck by the corpse's tongue like Fatty? I didn't see anything on his neck. I saw that he was still shaking a little, so I felt something was wrong.

The fat man said to him: "What's the matter, are you afraid of death? Why didn't I see you scared just now?"

Shunzi ignored the fat man and walked down step by step with heavy steps. He came to one of the corpses and squatted down. I found that he was so nervous that he almost fell down. The clouds are deep and traceless.

Suddenly I thought of what was going on.

The fat man wanted to pat him, but I stopped him and waved my hand to him. The fat man asked me softly: "What's wrong with him? Is he possessed?"

I shook my head. If my guess is correct, these corpses may be those that Shunzi mentioned to me. His father brought the team to Changbai Mountain ten years ago. And the corpse that Shunzi is looking at now may be the one that Shunzi mentioned to me. It was his father, that's why he acted so nervously.

Unexpectedly, he really expected that by following us, we could really find his father's body...
