Chapter 637 The largest archaeological discovery of this century (1)
"Brother Qing, this looks like a palace, and we actually walked into the palace! It's incredible!"
When he walked in and saw the surrounding situation clearly, Lin Haitao couldn't help but exclaimed.
The old ghost also laughed and shouted: "Haha, underground palace, we found the underground palace! Boss, you are really a genius. You actually found a huge ancient tomb without us knowing it. This ancient tomb contains
The underground palace, look at its scale, it is really rare in the world, at least I have never seen it before!"
Uncle Pang agreed: "It's unique. I'm afraid the legendary underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is nothing more than this, right?!"
They were all shocked and excited, thinking this was an underground palace.
The underground palace is a type of ancient tomb, and it is considered the most luxurious and large-scale ancient tomb!
He Qing did not answer their words. At this moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, because he knew very well that this was not some ancient cemetery palace. The place they entered by accident was so magnificent and luxurious that it was actually a real palace.
Palace, ancient palace!
But no one knows it except him.
"It turns out that there is an underground palace below. No wonder it is empty and the ground is sinking!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized, "I just don't know who this ancient tomb belongs to, and who would build such a large underground palace in this desert!"
"
The old ghost replied: "Who else besides the royal ministers can build such a magnificent underground palace? It may have been built after the death of the king of a kingdom in the Western Regions."
"The cemetery of the king of the Western Region Kingdom?" Lin Haitao asked, "As far as I know, among the ancient kingdoms around here, only Loulan is the closest. Is it possible that this was built after the death of the king of Loulan Kingdom?"
"The King of Loulan Kingdom?!"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Gui and Uncle Pang were startled, as if they had thought of something.
He Qing was also a little surprised. Lin Haitao and the others were quite flexible in their thinking. They immediately thought of Loulan Kingdom.
Lin Haitao's guess was correct. The palace here was indeed the palace of Loulan Kingdom, but it was not an underground palace, but a place where living people lived.
In other words, they found the ruins of the palace of the ancient capital of Loulan!
"Yes, it is most likely the tomb of the King of Loulan Kingdom!" The old ghost nodded solemnly. "I think only the kings of rich countries can have such a grand ostentation. And the Kingdom of Loulan is both famous and wealthy among the countries in the ancient Western Regions.
Yes, because it was once a must-go place for the Silk Road and an important place for trade between foreign countries and the Central Plains. Business was prosperous and the economy was very developed. But I don’t know why it declined later. And eventually disappeared in
On the land of China.”
Uncle Pang said excitedly: "I didn't expect that the ruins of Loulan ancient city we discovered were not as good as their king's tomb!"
The old ghost smiled and said: "This is normal. The mausoleum is underground and well preserved. Unlike the buildings built on the ground, which have gone through thousands of years of history and are in desert areas where wind and sand are severely damaged.
Naturally, it is difficult to preserve it.”
"You're right, it's probably like this!" Lin Haitao couldn't help but nodded, "I didn't expect that we could find the underground palace of the king of Loulan Ancient Kingdom!"
They had a heated discussion and were all very excited.
Only He Qing remained silent from beginning to end.
"Brother Qing, why don't you say anything?" Lin Haitao then said to He Qing, "You led us to find this underground palace, and you have the greatest credit!"
The old ghost nodded in agreement: "Yes, if we hadn't been brought here, where would we have found such a place? The discovery of the Emperor's Tomb Underground Palace in the Loulan Kingdom is a huge archaeological discovery, and it will definitely cause a sensation in the world when word spreads! Besides,
There are no other people’s footprints in this underground palace except us. We should be the first to enter, so the large number of buried treasures inside have not been moved, which is equivalent to us finding a big treasure!"
He Qing just smiled faintly and said softly: "Why are you so excited? What's the use of finding more treasures? Don't forget, we are still trapped down here. Not only have we not found the exit, but we are also stuck
There is always the danger of being buried or alive by the sand down here."
Lin Haitao said: "Brother Qing, you don't have to worry about this problem. The place we are now is very strong. Even if the sand and soil above collapse, it will not be able to crush us."
The old ghost responded hurriedly: "Yes, this underground palace is very solidly built, there will be no problems."
He Qing said: "If the top of the palace is buried, it may block the only vent. At that time, we will not be able to breathe the fresh air outside, and we will also be suffocated to death here due to lack of oxygen. It's just that we will die."
Just slow down. So the top priority is to check the situation, find the exit as soon as possible, and find the way out, then everything will be easier."
"That's right!" Lin Haitao nodded vigorously, "Then let's find the exit quickly."
Life safety always comes first, and other important things must take a back seat.
"Well, let's find a way out first." The old ghost responded quickly, "Once we find the exit, it won't be too late for us to find a way to get in and carry the treasure!"
After finishing speaking, He Qing and Lin Haitao shook their flashlights and carefully observed the situation around the palace again with the help of flashlight light.
This palace is indeed relatively well-preserved. Although it has been uninhabited for thousands of years and is full of dust and a mess, there are no signs of collapse or dilapidation. It is estimated that it can still be used as usual after being tidied up.
In the huge palace, a lot of lacquerware, ceramics and other items were found, which must have been the original furniture and other furnishings in the palace. Most of those items were well preserved and were not decayed or broken.
In addition to household furnishings, the masonry of the palace is made of marble and white marble, which are both elegant and beautiful, and strong and resistant to damage. No wonder it has remained the same after thousands of years.
"There seems to be a dragon chair right above the hall!" Lin Haitao suddenly said in surprise as he slowly groped forward.
Following the direction of his flashlight, He Qing quickly noticed that there was indeed a place where the emperor went to court at the end of the hall directly in front of him.
There is a big chair at the top of the steps. The chair is shining with gold and extremely dazzling.
When they discovered the golden "Dragon Chair", Lin Haitao and Lao Gui quickly walked over there.
He Qing also walked up quickly.
When they walked up the steps and approached the chair, He Qing and the others observed it carefully.
It doesn't matter. After taking a look at it, Lin Haitao couldn't help but exclaimed: "The dragon chair is made of gold! This is all made of gold!"
(I wish you all a happy New Year, all the best in the New Year, and may the three "goats" prosper!) (To be continued...)
