Chapter 1230 Archaeologist: Believe in Science (5)
It took her a while to recover from the fear of freezing to death, and at the same time she found that her feet could finally move.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Gu Mo, what exactly is going on..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes accidentally glanced at the opposite wall, and his eyes suddenly widened, full of fear.
The wall panel of the stone chamber was equipped with a mechanism. I don’t know when it was shaken open, revealing several skeletons hidden inside.
No, not a few, but many, very many...
The whole wall is covered with them, one next to another.
And judging by the size of the skeletons, they are all children, some male and some female.
The scary thing is that they are all made of bones, but you can still tell that they seem to be laughing, and the smile is very weird.
Although she studied archeology and was indoctrinated in materialism every day, it was not broad daylight and she and Gu Mo were the only two people around. The environment was so weird that Zhang Yuexi really couldn't hold back the fear rising from the soles of her feet.
…
But she didn't dare to scream, so she covered her mouth tightly and leaned against Gu Mo.
"Gu Mo, I still can't move..."
"Because you stepped on the head of the tomb owner."
The ancients' prevention of tomb robberies was actually mainly defensive, mainly to prevent tomb robbers from finding the tomb owner's tomb.
Obviously, this small tomb was very successful and had almost no mechanisms. However, Li Kangzai and others also passed by here and did not notice that there was a small prince king here at all.
If Zhang Yuexi hadn't just stepped on the head of the tomb owner and directly activated the tomb formation, they wouldn't be trapped here.
"Where's the head? Gu Mo, don't scare me."
The floor is clearly beneath your feet.
Gu Mo put his arm around Zhang Yuexi's waist and said:
"I'll count one, two, three, and you lift your feet with me."
Zhang Yuexi nodded, and when Gu Mo finished counting, she found that she had been hugged by Gu Mo, and the two of them were standing against the wall.
And she can move her arms and legs.
But there were all the little skeletons staring at them and laughing. Zhang Yuexi didn't feel relieved. She almost cried with fear.
Especially after she and Gu Mo left the position just now, the stone slab at that position was pushed open to both sides like a sliding door, revealing a small coffin inside.
Moreover, the coffin was still transparent, with some strange pictures and words carved on it, and bright red liquid was slowly flowing inside the sunken lines.
The liquid was like human blood. It didn't know where it came from, and it seemed to flow continuously to the top of the corpse lying in the coffin.
The little corpse was that of a seven or eight-year-old child, dressed in rich clothes and with a jade in his mouth.
The strange thing is that the children in the wall have become skeletons, but his skin has not rotted at all, and the expression on his face is still the same as before death, as if he was just asleep.
Amazing!
Zhang Yuexi suddenly became excited, so excited that her hands trembled.
She had heard from the professor before that several mummies with completely preserved bodies had been unearthed in China, and she had also seen videos and pictures.
But those are mummies after all. Although they are not rotten, their skin condition is definitely not the same as when they were alive.
But the one in front of me is really like a living person...
One wonders how much of a storm this coffin will cause in the archaeological world when it is unearthed.
Just when Zhang Yuexi was excited, she heard a sizzling sound and the crystal coffin opened by herself...
Then the child lying inside sat up with the jade in his mouth, sat up...
Zhang Yuexi was so frightened by the scene before her that she lost her voice...
It wasn't until the little prince jumped out of the coffin and jumped towards them that she came back to her senses, but found that her body could not move due to too much fear...
"Gu, Gu..."
What does it say in the movie? Spread cinnabar, yellow talisman or glutinous rice?
But where did they get these things???
Zhang Yuexi's eyes widened with fear.
However, Gu Mo's expression remained calm. When the little prince king jumped in front of him, a Luoyang shovel rushed over to him, knocking his head out of the way and making him unable to straighten his head.
Zhang Yuexi, "...??"
Next, Gu Mo made an even more amazing move and kicked the little prince king directly back into the crystal coffin, then closed the crystal coffin with a snap.
A thrilling rice dumpling battle ended before Gu Mo's Luoyang shovel even started.
Zhang Yuexi, "...Gu Mo, you, you, you are destroying cultural relics!"
"He has become a rice dumpling. If we don't knock him, are we waiting for him to knock us?"
Gu Mo pulled up the floor again, completely hiding the crystal coffin.
"The police uncle has said that things are dead but people are alive. The most important thing is that we live."
Zhang Yuexi was convinced.
Gu Mo found another mechanism and restored the surrounding wall panels to their original state.
Finally, she no longer had to see those weirdly smiling little skeletons, and Zhang Yuexi's fear diminished a little.
She found a corner and sat down and said:
"Actually, I think that people who have been dead for thousands of years and are sleeping well underground are the ones who are alive because we are unkind and insist on digging them out..."
Although their archaeological excavation was for protective purposes, they also disturbed the dead.
To the tomb owners, they are essentially no different from tomb robbers.
Grave robbers don't dig up corpses at all. They dig up corpses together for archaeology. They strip off people's clothes and dismember them, conduct various studies, and after the research is done, they hang them in museums for viewing...
"You are right. We did disturb the peace of the tomb owners, but do they deserve peace?"
"Look at the children on the wall. They were only seven or eight years old when they were dragged here and suffocated to death in the wall. They were reluctant to leave their parents and relatives, and they were reluctant to leave this world that they had not seen enough. But no one asked their opinions.
, just because they are inferior people, they cannot enjoy the fine clothes and food of the princes and nobles during their lifetime, and their existence value has been exploited by the princes and nobles. Even life has become something of the princes and nobles. If they say they don’t have it, it will be gone. After death, they will still be
Trapped here, I became a tool to help the little princes and kings to be reborn..."
Judging from the formations, the spells on the wall, and ancient texts, the little prince king was extremely favored during his lifetime.
But he died at the age of seven. In ancient times, he died young and was not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave.
His parents couldn't bear the thought of him being a lonely ghost, so they insisted on burying him in his ancestral grave. They invited a master to set up a formation, sacrificed ninety-nine boys and girls of the same age, and poured the blood of countless people into the crystal coffin.
Let your children be reborn.
This is why the body of the little prince king is so completely preserved.
It is undeniable that the parents of the little princes and princes love their children very much, and they really take great pains for their children.
But do those children who were buried with them and cursed deserve it? Do they not have the love of their parents?
