Zhu Wanlin was a little confused. When the professional staff went down to the tomb just now, they were all careful and put on all kinds of safety equipment, but Chu Ye jumped directly without any protection.
This is not for going to the tomb, this is simply for tourism.
Underneath the thief's cave is a long corridor, with a wooden frame as a roof support above the head to prevent the soil from accidentally collapsing. It is quiet inside, and there is no other sound except for the sound of footsteps.
The corridor was narrow and crowded, with only room for one person to pass through. There was an unpleasant musty smell in the air.
The team from the Archaeological Institute walked in front, and everyone had headlights on their heads, which were enough to illuminate the scene several meters ahead. Chu Ye and Zhu Wanlin walked at the back. Chu Ye opened his eyes while walking and scanned both sides of the corridor.
The soil has changed, but nothing unusual has been discovered along the way.
Soon, the front of the corridor gradually became wider, and the corridor dug by the tomb robbers finally connected with the corridor of the prince's tomb.
The corridor just now was too low, so everyone could only walk forward with hunched body. After entering the corridor of the tomb, everyone could finally straighten up.
"There are two roads ahead, which one should we take?"
Tan Lin stopped and looked at Director Wu.
There are two forks in the corridor ahead, one going left and one going right. They don't look any different.
"There are some bones over there!"
Hu Feifei suddenly exclaimed.
The next moment, five or six beams of light were fired in the direction of Hu Feifei's fingers. On the ground in the corridor on the left, there were a few white bones that stood out.
Director Wu quickly stroked his glasses, stepped forward to take a glance, and couldn't help but frown.
I saw these white bones sitting cross-legged on the ground, forming a circle, holding hands, as if they were performing some mysterious ceremony during their lifetime.
If it were a tomb robber who was trapped and died in a tomb, he would never look like this before he died. How could anyone remain sitting cross-legged before death?
"The owners of these bones are not those grave robbers."
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from the team, and Chu Ye walked to the front of the team at some point, looked at the bones sitting cross-legged in front of him, and said lightly: "They are monks."
Monk?
How could a monk appear in the prince's tomb?
The group of people looked at Chu Ye doubtfully.
"They ended up here on their own."
Chu Ye continued.
Director Wu frowned and was about to refute, but swallowed his words again.
Tan Lin and others just snorted with disdain.
It's a monk and he committed suicide on his own. Why does this sound so ridiculous?
"We are here for a scientific investigation. You, the idiots like you, should stop saying a few words when you are lying!"
Tan Lin curled his lips.
Chu Ye didn't say much, because even if he explained, it would be useless. These bones had been here for a long time, and the original clothes on their bodies had already oxidized to ashes.
The formation in which these monks sit cross-legged is the Vajra Demon Subduing Formation in Zen Buddhism, which is specially used to suppress evil.
He also saw that the ages of these monks before they died were probably in their thirties or forties. One of the skeletons was obviously older, at least sixty years old, and he was still sitting at the eye of the Vajra Demon-Conquering Array.
He should be an eminent monk.
The evil that can make an enlightened monk suppress it even if he has to sit down and die is by no means an easy thing.
Chu Ye frowned slightly.
He vaguely felt that if he continued to move forward, this group of people might encounter danger.
"Which way should we go?"
Tan Lin asked.
"This one on the left."
Chu Ye said lightly.
Tan Lingang wanted to retort, saying that he had just found a few bones on the left side. What if he was in danger? Director Wu said, "Yes, take the left side."
Tan Lin frowned. Since even Director Wu said this, he couldn't say anything more and could only assume that Chu Yemeng was right.
Director Wu took the lead, and the group continued to explore along the left corridor.
Director Wu is the oldest senior person in the Institute of Archeology. He has visited as many as 80 ancient tombs and participated in countless national cultural relic excavation projects. The path chosen based on his experience must be correct.
"These guys look down on others!"
Zhu Wanlin followed Chu Ye and whispered softly.
Soon, a huge empty space appeared in front of us.
This space is six to seven meters high and more than a thousand square meters. There are rugged stalactites hanging upside down from the top. Water flows along the stalactites to the ground, forming a stream, which converges into an underground river that leads to the depths.
"Wow!"
Tan Lin suddenly exclaimed.
Several beams of light immediately converged forward.
The next moment, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
It is a majestic city gate tower, standing in front of everyone. The majestic appearance of the city gate and tower declares the majesty that cannot be offended. The flying pavilion and flowing pills are magnificent, like a fierce general on the battlefield, with flying eaves and corners.
, intrigues and intrigues, it rises up from the ground, time has destroyed its vicissitudes, but it still stands majestic, like a angry-eyed Vajra.
What a magnificent city tower! If they weren't in an ancient tomb, Tan Lin and the others would have wanted to rush over and take some photos.
"We finally found it!"
Director Wu stroked his glasses and repeatedly confirmed that the scene in front of him was not an illusion. Then he moved forward little by little and gently touched the towering city gate with his hand wearing special gloves.
This is a city gate made of piled stones and carved with immeasurable thickness. Judging from the data of the detection equipment, it is at least three meters thick, and it is difficult to explode even with explosives.
High-intensity explosives must be used.
However, such a city gate is a cultural relic, and it is absolutely impossible to blow it up with explosives! The group of people standing in front of the city gate were excited and nervous. They were excited because they finally saw the legendary prince's tomb, and they were nervous because they finally saw it.
Don't know how to enter.
However, Chu Ye's expression was a bit serious.
There was a deep dent above the stone city gate, which made him feel more vigilant than ever before.
"Director Wu, what dynasty does this stone gate belong to?"
Chu Ye asked.
Director Wu thought for a while and said: "The exact time needs to wait for the appraisal report, but judging from my experience, this type of architectural style has a history of at least several hundred years."
"Look, this dent was made by someone using a finger. How long has it been there?"
Chu Ye pointed at the pothole and asked.
"This...how could it be that someone poked it out with a finger?
This pit is obviously a recent appearance, and the rocks inside have no signs of oxidation."
As soon as Director Wu finished speaking, he suddenly laughed and shook his head.
He felt that it was really ridiculous that he could answer Chu Ye's ridiculous question.
Others also cast helpless looks at Chu Ye.
"Stop saying a few words, we at Wu Suo are busy!"
Tan Lin said dissatisfied.
Chu Ye didn't say anything, he just walked aside and scanned the city gate. Soon, he found several similar holes above the city gate.
These are the traces left by martial arts masters, and they are absolutely unmistakable.
Could it be said that another group of people came here not long ago?
