Hearing this cry, Director Wu and Taoist Master Du Fa turned their heads to look.
"There's mercury here!"
Chu Ye stood on the spot and said word by word.
The atmosphere in the ancient tomb immediately became solemn! The word mercury is simply the most terrifying thing in the archaeological industry! In many large tombs, mercury is used as a mechanism to deal with tomb robbers.
The scientific name of mercury is mercury. Once exposed, it will quickly volatilize into the air. Mercury vapor is very toxic and can enter the nervous system through the human respiratory tract and poison people.
If it accidentally touches the skin, it can enter the human body and harm the human body.
If the concentration is high enough, it can even kill people easily.
"Where is the mercury?
Where?"
Director Wu asked nervously.
Chu Ye slowly raised his arm, pointed at the rock wall above his head, and said lightly: "There is a piece of mercury above our heads. As long as the rock wall above our heads breaks, countless mercury will fall down and engulf the entire tomb chamber!"
Hearing this, everyone put on gas masks almost at the same time.
On the side of Taoist Master Dufa, a dozen Taoist priests covered their mouths and noses with special cloth strips.
In the face of this terrible poison, no one dares to joke with their own lives.
Several boys immediately took out special detection equipment and began to detect the entire tomb.
The results of the detection were almost exactly the same as what Chu Ye said. The entire rock wall above the tomb was filled with mercury! "What kind of tomb is this?"
Mercury was actually used, and so much was used at one time! The amount of mercury used in Qin Shihuang’s mausoleum may not have been as much, right?”
"And have you noticed that there is no coffin in this tomb?"
"In other words, this is an empty tomb! But why are there so many burial objects in the empty tomb?
This is all so abnormal!”
There was a quarrel in the tomb.
This tomb is so strange, everything is so incredible.
Is it possible that the owner of the tomb spent so much money to build this tomb just to create a suspicious grave?
But who would be willing to put a priceless treasure in a tomb of doubt?
Even the emperor was not so prodigal! At this time, someone discovered that there were long murals painted on the walls of the tomb.
The entire mural seems to be telling the life of the tomb owner.
At the beginning, there was a scene of several men in ancient costumes riding horses, shooting arrows, and drinking for fun. Later, the men in the scene put on python robes, which are only worn by princes. In front of them stood a handsome man, who seemed to be
The owner of the tomb is meeting an important person.
In the next mural, the man leads a convoy of carriages to a distant place, and behind him is the tomb owner in a python robe to see him off.
In the penultimate painting, the man finally returns, holding a box in his hand and handing it to the owner of the tomb. At this time, the owner of the tomb is already stooped, as if decades have passed since the two separated.
The last picture is a ceremonial scene of a noble funeral, with a huge crowd of people and a grand scene. At the end of the ceremony is a tomb.
Everything seemed to end here, but a crane flew from a distance, carrying auspicious clouds, and flew to this tomb.
"Become an immortal!"
Taoist priest Dufa suddenly spoke.
"That's right, become an immortal! The owner of the tomb wants to become an immortal!"
Director Wu also frowned and nodded slightly.
The content of these murals is not difficult to understand.
The owner of the tomb was famous and powerful during his lifetime. Later, he met a warlock and gave him a large amount of gold and silver. He asked the warlock to go to a distant place to find the magic of immortality for him. After decades of separation, the warlock finally returned and fulfilled his mission.
Yes, the things in the box he was holding were what the owner of the tomb was looking for.
The content of these pictures should be based on real events during the tomb owner's life. As for the last picture of becoming an immortal, Director Wu and others believe that this is just the tomb owner's wishful thinking.
"Don't worry, maybe the tomb owner's coffin is here, but we just didn't find it."
After reading these murals, Chu Ye came to a conclusion.
"Where do you think it will be?"
Zhu Wanlin asked curiously.
Chu Ye thought for a while, pointed to the ceiling above his head and said, "If I guess correctly, it's in the rock wall above."
Zhu Wanlin was stunned, a little hard to understand.
However, he still lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chu, you have great supernatural powers. I wonder if you believe there is a way to live forever in this world?"
Chu Ye smiled, fear of death is everyone's nature.
The richer a person is, the more they are afraid of death. It is human nature for rich bosses like Zhu Wanlin to pursue these illusory things.
"I think what Director Wu and Taoist Master Dufa said are basically right, but they are wrong about one thing."
Chu Ye said.
"oh?"
Zhu Wanlin didn't react for a moment.
"Look carefully at the last picture.
Even if there is any magic in that box, it cannot be some kind of immortality. Otherwise, why would the owner of the tomb be buried?
Isn’t this contradictory?”
"Yeah... when you said that, I also reacted!"
"So, the thing in this box is probably a kind of magic that can bring people back to life, or make people become immortals after death. But one thing is clear, that is, the owner of the tomb failed."
Zhu Wanlin nodded in understanding.
Ding dong.
He received a message on his mobile phone. When he opened it, he saw that it was from a friend in Qingcheng Mountain.
The moment he saw this message, Zhu Wanlin was startled for a moment, then his eyes widened and he looked at Chu Ye with disbelief.
He felt that his mouth was dry for a while, and he was extremely scared. He swallowed several times in a row, and then carefully lowered his voice and handed the phone to Chu Ye: "Mr. Chu, my friend from the Qingcheng Mountain Management Office said that there is no one on Qingcheng Mountain.
The Bai family did entrust a Xuanfa Taoist temple to help perform rituals here, but the bus the Taoist priests from the Xuanfa Taoist temple were riding in was attacked halfway. All the Taoist priests were killed, and their clothes and magical instruments were missing.
Yes! My friend is being called over to help identify it!"
"So, the murderer is..." Just as Chu Ye finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, grabbed Zhu Wanlin suddenly, and dodged to the side.
"Bang!"
There were several deep claw marks on the stone wall behind Zhu Wanlin just now! The claw marks were terrifying and abnormal, as if they had been caught by some wild beast! "Who is it?"
The huge movement attracted everyone's attention, and more than a dozen beams of lights shone in this direction.
The entire tomb was illuminated like daylight! I saw a disheveled humanoid monster with hunched waist, appearing like a ghost in the hall of the tomb! "Ahhh! Ghost!"
The timid girl screamed in fright.
Everyone's heart was in their throats.
"This is not a ghost, but a zombie."
At this moment, Chu Ye slowly stood up and stood in front of everyone.
