Chapter 67

g without attacking me or Hongjie.Passing through the troop of monkeys, only Chen Jian Sheng's laughter could be heard from behind."Haha, everyone, young and old, today we won't talk about Romance of...The sacrificial pit is rectangular in shape, with scattered human bones inside. At first glance, these skeletons are heavily calcified, and some still retain their pre-death postures. It seems that they have remained undisturbed for thousands of years.

Hong Jie looked at the white bones in the sacrificial pit and sighed.

Imagine, two thousand years ago, these were all living beings.

Generally speaking, there would be no burial goods in the sacrificial pits of the Shang and Zhou dynasties because, after all, they were slaves and not eligible to enjoy burial goods.

But this time was different, Chen Jian-sheng had sharp eyes. He noticed that lying horizontally at the bottom of the pit was a chicken head pottery jar.

This pot still has half its body buried in the soil.

The pottery is worthless, it's not worth anything. Red Sister said let's go, find another way out, don't dawdle here any longer.

Chen Jian-sheng shook his head and said, "Hold on a moment. Chen Houqin, you didn't look closely enough, did you Take another look at that pottery jar," he pointed down into the pit.

I'm also watching this time, we're looking at it carefully this time.

"What is that, not a chicken head jar" I vaguely saw that on the surface of the jar there was a clay figurine, the clay figurine only half exposed on the ground.

"Stunned" Chen Jian Sheng said, nonchalantly. "Never seen one before Yes, pottery isn't valuable, but it depends on the grade. This one from the pit is high grade, this is a Tao Soul Chamber, a first-class artifact!"

The soul chamber was only popular during two dynasties: the Shang and Zhou periods, and the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, the soul chamber was placed under the coffin board of the deceased. It contained seeds of various grains, symbolizing that when the deceased arrived in the afterlife, they could still be self-sufficient and eat food from the mortal world.

In antique markets, you'll often see this kind of thing. Some people who don't understand its significance buy it at a high price and put it in their bedroom to admire every day. This is not good, it's unlucky.

... During the Western Zhou period, soul coffer were different. Because of the long time span, pottery wares were fragile and difficult to preserve. There were few Western Zhou soul coffers, making them rare and valuable. Indeed, they could be sold for a high price.

Later, I came into contact with some Feng Shui masters from Hong Kong. They favored the Western Zhou Soul Chamber, and as soon as they heard about it, they would spend a lot of money to acquire it.

I heard it through the grapevine, supposedly this thing can trap the three souls and seven spirits of a person who died horizontally. As long as rituals are performed and one survives the seventh day, then the complete corpse could return to its body on the seventh night.

Getting back to it, the pit wasn't very deep, only about two meters from the ground. Chen Jiansheng came with a burst of energy, he jumped straight in, saying he wanted to dig out the soul chamber and have a look. If it was intact and good, he'd try to find a way to take it away.

I told him what time it is, but he wouldn't listen to me.

This is the nature of tomb robbers, they don't leave empty-handed. When they see something rare and valuable, they can't resist it and will go to great lengths to get it out. If they just walked away, they would feel like they missed out on a fortune.

Tomb robbing isn't a profession you can enter with just a few flashy words and five hundred dollars.

Chen Jian-sheng jumped into the sacrificial pit, and he looked at the bones and said, "Fellows, I'll borrow something from you, please don't mind."

Having said that, he lowered his head and touched the buried soul container.

"Huh So heavy" he lifted it, his expression surprised.

During the Western Zhou period, the contents of soul storage jars were not ordinary grains. Almost no one knows what was actually stored inside them.

"Damn it, that's heavy as hell. Is there gold in there" He struggled to pull the soul cage out with both hands, his expression strained.

"Come and pick me up quickly, I can't get up."

"

I scrambled to the edge of the pit and grabbed his hand, pulling him up.

The soul chamber lid is sealed shut, it looks like it's genuine and has never been opened.

Chen Jian-sheng patted the dirt off his knees, "How about it Shall we open it up now This is authentic stuff, very rare. Even many old hands in the business haven't seen it."

"Hong Jie scoffed and said, 'What high-level things could possibly come out of a burial pit Maybe it's just filled with dried-up feces from 2,000 years ago, fossilized into balls.'"

What he had worked hard to acquire was called a pile of excrement by Hong Jie, leaving Chen Jian Sheng feeling rather embarrassed.for a cactus""Find a ghost's cactus," I retorted, glancing back. "Let's go get some head and let that kid find his own water."Xiaoxuan reacted and ran after me all the way.While running, I kept lookin...
