Outside, the sun was still shining, and bursts of foehn wind rolled up on the hot yellow sand, baking the land. Originally, this was supposed to be a dead area, but Bing Zhixie and Alice had just entered.
When entering the tomb, a black figure appeared here, looking coldly at the opened entrance of the tomb.
The tomb was cold and deep, not humid, and the dry air made the environment here better than expected. Bing Zhixie and Alice walked in the tomb one after another, carrying magic spar lamps.
The light illuminated only seven meters around it, and it was difficult to see clearly even further away. Amanda was sandwiched between the two of them, floating in the air with the movement of the magic bottle. In such a dark environment, even she was frightened, and her eyes
She looked around, fearing that something might jump out of the darkness and scare her.
It was very quiet in the mausoleum. It was extremely quiet. There was no sound at all. The spiders and cockroaches mentioned in the book seemed to have disappeared here, let alone snakes and rats. Bing Zhixie fired two fireballs again, controlling them to the left and right.
Moving, the swaying firelight helped them see farther away, and soon they saw a stone lamp erected in the tomb hall.
"Over there." Bing Zhixie led them towards the stone lamp, but was soon disappointed. This should be an ever-burning lamp, but the oil and wax in the lamp had been exhausted, and there was still some burnt oil left in the lamp bowl.
The remains of the wick were covered with a layer of dust. It looked like it should have been used by people who came in thirty years ago, rather than thousands of years ago. Alice looked around with the lamp and vaguely saw something in front of her.
I took a few steps closer to the thing, and it turned out to be a box.
"Master."
Bing Zhixie noticed the box that Alice found and walked over. It turned out that there was more than one box, and behind it was a wall. The wall and the ground were made of yellow square bricks, and the brick surface was polished to be very smooth.
, the gaps between each brick are so small that even a piece of paper cannot be inserted.
The boxes were placed against the wall. There were four of them, spread out in a row. The boxes were made of wood, and the sides were sealed with metal leather and pressed tightly with rivets. It was a regular square box on the top of a ladder. There was no paint on the wooden box.
Lacquer or any color painting is just baked with oil and fire, and has undergone anti-corrosion treatment. The texture of the wood is clearly visible, and it is very simple.
Alice wanted to open the box and take a look, but after the previous lesson, she was honest. She didn't dare to move at will unless the master said anything.
This tomb is a real ancient tomb, different from the fake Tomb of the Hero King found on Beiwang Slope. Bing Zhixie remembered hearing the story of hiding the mechanism in the box in the tavern, so he was extra careful and asked Alice to retreat.
Open up, take out a short blade that you carry with you, and open the small slit of the wooden box.
The box was unlocked and could be opened easily. There was no mechanism inside, only volumes of books rolled into cylinders and neatly stacked in the box. Because the tomb was dry and not contaminated with any moisture, the books in the box were
It was very well preserved. Bing Zhixie took back the dagger, picked up a book and read it. The words written in the book were all words he didn't recognize. They should be the words specially used by the Phoenician Kingdom, but they were placed in such a simple box.
And there are so many, probably not important content.
Alice also took a book and flipped through it, feeling a little disappointed, but at this time her attention was attracted by the patterns on the wall. There were many little people carved on the wall with simple lines and various colors of oil paint.
The little people are kneeling on the ground layer by layer, as if they are worshiping something. The pattern stretches upward and covers the entire wall. The higher up, the bigger the little people are, the richer the colors, and the more complex the strokes.
The more realistic, the smaller the number of people.
The villains depicted in this painting represent various classes in the Phoenician kingdom. The smaller the villains are, the lower they are, they should be the slaves of the Phoenician kingdom. The next higher up are the peasants, and the higher up, the higher and higher the status.
Gao Bingzhixie held up the lamp. Because the light could not reach such a high distance, he had to use magic to shine upward again, and this time the light shone directly on the dome.
The top of the tomb is about twenty meters above the ground, which is about half of the surface of the entire cobblestone mountain. The dome is round and arched, painted with a black background, and studded with countless sapphires.
When reflected by the light, it emits a gleaming brilliance, just like the vast starry sky, which is very impressive.
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful." Alice opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth from ear to ear in surprise. After the gem was illuminated by the light, the light lingered for a long time. It really looked like stars hanging in the night sky.
.
What Bing Zhixie paid attention to was the content of the paintings on the wall. There were only a few people left on the lower floors near the dome. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, either priests' clothes or ministers in gorgeous clothes. And the top
There was no one on that floor. Bing Zhixie thought there might be a king, so he walked forward carefully along the wall.
After walking a certain distance, I saw the king among the top people, but besides the king there were five women, who should be Glonus and his five princesses. And all of these people, including the king and
The princesses are worshiping the stars on the dome.
Bing Zhixie was very surprised when he saw this scene. Although he didn't know much about ancient culture and history, he had done some research. Those ancient kings, especially those before the Holy Garden Calendar, often compared themselves to gods.
Or they represent gods. And what is painted on the murals is that the people are often worshiping them, and they accept the worship of others in the posture of gods, or there is a god behind them. I have never heard of kings and gods.
The subjects worship something together.
After thinking about it, Bing Zhixie felt that maybe he was ignorant. In the historical continent, there had been many countries, and it was normal for there to be a few unique ones. But in this way, he had no idea about the stars on the dome.
'I became even more interested, but the light did not illuminate all the gems, so I could only look at them while walking.
Mummy corpses are scattered everywhere on the ground. The deeper you go, the more corpses there are. There are also many hidden weapons and short arrows mixed in, and they are well preserved. They should have been sent by the mechanisms in the tomb. In some places, there are obvious human damage.
There are signs of passing, including square bricks on the ground, erected stone statues, etc., which should be the hub of the mechanism or the location of the launching mechanism.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because there are predecessors who have opened the way, it saves Bing Zhixie and the others a lot of trouble. They can just follow the traces of damage, and it will not trigger other
A complete trap.
At this time, the sapphires on the dome were basically all illuminated by the light. Bing Zhixie eliminated the magic light, and saw a sea of blue stars above his head, forming a strange shape.
Alice whispered: "These sapphires are indeed not randomly set. What does it look like to form such a picture? What is the meaning?"
How could they understand such a profound question? Bing Zhixie shook his head and said: "Maybe it has a symbolic meaning, symbolizing the gods they worship, so all the people on the mural are worshiping this star map. As for the specifics
What it is, only those who specialize in studying this can figure it out."
The silver moonlight dragon flew in front, and the two of them continued to move forward. However, because the magic light had just been extinguished, the light was a bit uncomfortable. Bing Zhixie had just taken two steps when something slipped under his feet and became slippery.
He fell down. Fortunately, Alice was behind him and gave him a hand. Of course, he couldn't have really fallen. However, the thing slipped far away and hit a metal object, making a loud noise.
the sound of.
The crisp sound of "clang" echoed endlessly in the tomb chamber. The two of them stopped and waited quietly for a while. Only when the echo completely disappeared did they feel relieved.
"What is it?" Alice turned on the lamp and saw some pottery fragments on the ground. She picked one up and looked at it, and said, "What is this?"
The pottery fragment was very thick and had a smooth shell. Bing Zhixie stepped on it and slipped. However, he felt that the pottery fragment looked familiar. It was exactly the kind he found not far from the ruins. He looked around
After taking a look, he saw a lot of fragments on the ground, some large and some small. The large parts could clearly be seen as part of a large pottery jar. Looking at the fragments of the pottery jar, he thought of the mummies and the Philippians.
The wizards of the Kingdom of Cani were performing strange witchcraft and magic. When they were about to say something, they heard the sound of a pottery jar breaking in the darkness.
