Behind the gate is a long and narrow slope downwards. A cold firework is thrown down from the extremely steep slope. It rolls for a long time before it reaches the end. Where the cold firework stops, its light is so small that it is difficult to see clearly.
I took a breath of cold air. If this was really a tomb passage, it would be too long. There were no corpses nearby. If there was an ambush on this ramp, then those people who had come in before would definitely have left some traces.
Even so, we didn't dare to be careless. If we took a wrong step, we might be shattered to pieces. As I walked, I carefully looked at the surrounding environment. Something seemed wrong, but I couldn't remember what was wrong.
Say to me: Have you noticed that there are no traces of mice here?
I nodded and said: Exactly, I felt something was wrong just now. When you said this, I realized that the gate here is half open, and there is a stone bridge connecting it. There are so many rats in the underground palace, why can't I see even half of them here?
Not only were there no rats, there were no rat droppings or rat hairs on the ground. Could it be that those rats, based on their animal instincts, felt that this was a forbidden place full of dangers?
But he didn't answer. He walked down a few steps and suddenly turned back and said to me: "Can you tell the truth? Have you ever done anything like tomb robbing?"
I never expected that she would ask this question, and I was speechless for a moment. I didn’t know how to answer. Since the people I traveled with this time were all engaged in archaeological work, although archeology and tomb robbing are not very different in a sense, they are not very different.
After all, there is an essential difference. It can be said that water and fire are incompatible. This matter of mine is extremely confidential. How did she learn about it?
Seeing that I was silent, he said: I was just guessing. I suddenly thought of it and asked you. I think you know so many long-lost Feng Shui secrets. You are no stranger to various ancient tombs. It seems that you are more familiar with your own home.
We also need to know more about the backyard, it really looks like a tomb robbing business.
I cursed in my heart: You bitch, it turned out that you were just guessing and almost gave me a heart attack.
On the surface, I pretended to be calm and said: This is a skill inherited from my family. Before the liberation, my grandfather was a famous Feng Shui master from all over the country, specializing in giving advice on ghost houses. My father has been a soldier all his life and has never learned this thing.
, I just have some hobbies, you don’t know me, I just like to study, Comrade Lei Feng’s nail spirit, in the final analysis, it is a study. After that, I changed the topic to avoid talking to her about Feng Shui and tomb robbing.
kind of things.
We walked for a long time and finally came to the end of the ramp. There was no way to go here. The surrounding space was extremely vast, but there was no path under our feet. Under the ramp was a platform. On the platform stood hundreds of stone statues with giant eyes. On the edge of the platform
They are all steep mountain walls. Looking up, you can't see the top of your head, it's all pitch black.
In front of it is a huge underground cavity. You can't tell how big it is. The spotlight that can shine for 20 meters can't reach the end. Could it be that we have reached the end? But if you look closely around the platform, it doesn't look like a terracotta warrior at all.
The underground cave depicted in Taoist murals.
Said: Maybe the Queen's coffin is still down there, and after she was buried, the Jingjue people destroyed the part connected to it, so that no one could disturb the Queen's peace.
I smiled and said: That's just right, let's go back. Before she finished talking, she took out three cold fireworks and threw them down on the platform respectively. She wanted to see how deep it was.
The two of us lay down on the edge of the platform and looked down, and saw Leng Yanhuo falling not far below. It turned out that the drop of the platform was not big, only about thirty meters.
Through the light of the fireworks, I saw a large piece of flat land below, with a mountain of various gold and silver vessels, pearls, gems, bones and chalcedony piled on the ground. I was surprised and said: Damn it, it turns out that all these good things are here. Look.
The coffin of the Queen who came to contain the essence must also be down there. But there is no way down there.
At this time, a rope ladder was found at one end of the platform. The rope ladder was hung on a large stone that grew together with the platform, and hung down from the side of the platform. Both ends were fastened with old-fashioned safety locks.
Said: This may be left by the explorers who have been here before. Although the rope ladder is strong, it is old after all. Let's go back to the stone bridge first to get the rope ladder we brought.
I said: Of course it is simple to do this, but have you ever thought about why the explorers who have been here before didn’t take them away with so many jades and jewelry here? Those foreigners are not good things, to put it nicely.
The point is an explorer. To put it bluntly, he is a thief who comes to China to steal things. You know, thieves don't steal things.
Said: I understand what you mean. You are saying that they will never enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed. The reason why these treasures are left intact here is because there are some traps like traps and beasts below.
I said: Yes, that’s what it means. There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. The simpler things seem, the more complicated they are to do. Do you remember what An Liman said about an ancient curse in the Black Desert?
Whoever takes the treasures in the Black Desert will be buried in the Black Desert forever with these treasures.
Said: This legend is also recorded in the Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. The city buried in the black desert is called Jiluojialai. I don’t think this curse is a problem. Professor Chen and the others are archaeologists and will not touch these things casually.
Yes, what I am most worried about is your fat partner. You must keep an eye on him.
I said angrily: What did you say? Since the two of us look like thieves, I tell you that we are poor and have great ambitions. I can guarantee it with my head. As long as I say that things here cannot be touched, my brother
I will never take it from my son. You should take care of yourself first. Think back to the Gengzi Year, when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces came to China to kill people, set fire to people, and robbed us of so many good things. Among the eight countries, you and the United States are not the only ones. What qualifications do you have to think of us?
elephant thief
His face turned pale with anger: So you look at me like a thief
When I thought about how she had saved me, what I just said was indeed a bit excessive, so I had no choice but to endure it and accompany her. The two of them went back along the same route. This time, no one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was frighteningly dull.
.
Professor Chen and others had been impatient for a long time. Seeing that we finally returned, they quickly asked for details. I fetched a pot of water from the underground river, and while drinking, I described the following situation and added part of it.
Professor Chen and his students heard that there was indeed a cave below. The fat man was overjoyed when he heard that there were a large number of burial objects below. He couldn't wait any longer and immediately set off to enter the gate of the ancient tomb.
I walked at the end, and when I entered, I touched the thousand-jin gate. If the damn gate fell, no one would be able to get out, but there were so many explosives, so there was no need to worry. Thinking of this,
Feeling much more at ease, he lowered his head and walked into the tomb passage.
Everyone was busy preparing the rope ladder on the platform. I guess at this time, it would be useless for me to persuade them. I had to tell the fat man not to take the things on the side. I don’t believe in any bullshit curses, but we can’t let anyone catch the handle.
You have to bring glory to the country.
The fat man said: Don't worry, Old Hu. I am a good man too, so I can't let myself down. No matter what you have this time, I will take a mouse hair. He thought for a while and added: If you want to take it, you can wait until you come back.
Take it again.
After the rope ladder was put in place, I was the first to go down as a vanguard. I saw no signs of mice nearby. At first I thought there might be that kind of strange black snake down there, so the mice didn't dare to come down.
But after I went down, I found that it was deathly quiet. Not to mention rats and poisonous snakes, there were not even a small insect or ant. There were many bronze lampstands nailed to the nearby rock wall, all made into the shape of lamp slaves, with double lamp slaves.
Kneel down on your knees and hold the precious lamp in your hands. The lamp oil in the lamp has long been burned out. These copper lamps are one by one. I can’t count how many there are. I just take one out on the market. With this craftsmanship, this era, this
The provenance, this history, is definitely worth a lot of money.
Standing on top of the piles of treasures, my heart was shaking. I had to hold it back forcibly. It was really impossible without some concentration. The only way was not to look at those good things and try to distract myself. I blew the whistle.
Whistle, people waiting for the signal above climbed down from the rope ladder one after another.
Everyone who came down was stunned by the mountains of treasures. So many rare treasures were collected by Jingjue from various countries in the Western Regions. Even Professor Chen could not name these treasures one by one.
name, but one thing is for sure, every one of them is worth a lot of money.
The fat man's eyes were so straight that he had already forgotten the promise he made to me on the platform, and reached out to grab the jade wine bottle closest to him.
