It is said that people who engage in scientific research are all lunatics to some extent. This is not true at all. Although Wang Qinian reminded him that there were many dangers ahead, Professor Qi still decided to go in, and several other team members
It is also the same idea that birds of a feather flock together and people belong to groups. These team members of Professor Qi are all archeology enthusiasts.
Seeing that he could not persuade Professor Qi and others, Wang Qinian had no choice but to compromise. Several people entered through the ajar stone door. Once they entered the stone door, including Wang Qinian, they all took a breath and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In front of them was a majestic and huge palace, with more than a dozen thick European-style stone pillars standing in front of them. In the center of the stone pillar, there was a step. On both sides of the step, there were more than a dozen people standing.
There is a sculpture of a knight holding a spear, and above that is a beautiful crystal coffin.
Seeing this crystal coffin, the expressions of Professor Qi and others became excited. With such a pomp, it is very likely that the mysterious Duke Carlusi is buried in this crystal coffin?
However, just when Professor Qi and others were about to run over, Wang Qinian stopped them. Wang Qinian's expression was very serious. Looking at the crystal coffin, he suddenly knelt down on the ground and kept kowtowing.
He also muttered some words softly.
Professor Qi and others were confused by Wang Qinian's actions and were a little at a loss. They realized that Wang Qinian stood up from the ground, looked at them, and explained softly: "That is not the coffin of the Duke, but a demon is imprisoned."
Devil, this is a word imported from the West, but when Wang Qinian said it, Professor Qi and others were stunned.
"The shapes of those knights are unique to the Spanish Inquisition. You can tell from the ecclesiastical uniforms on those knights."
"The Inquisition?"
As an archaeologist, Professor Qi also knows something about Western culture. The Holy See in the West is different from that in the East. For a long time, the West was under the rule of the Holy See, and the Inquisition was even more disturbing.
An organization that was frightened by the news.
The Inquisition is used by the Holy See to deal with and judge heretics. The Chinese people’s understanding of it probably stems from the Galileo incident. It is a judicial organization used by the Holy See to maintain its rule.
"But isn't this the tomb of Duke Carlusi? How come there are statues of knights from the Inquisition?" Professor Qi and others looked confused and asked Wang Qinian softly.
"I don't know either, but I can tell you for sure that the existence inside this crystal coffin is very terrifying. If it is released, it will be impossible for any of us to escape."
As if in response to Wang Qinian's words, as soon as he left his words, there was a sudden sound from the crystal coffin on the steps in front, as if something was knocking on the crystal coffin lid. Professor Qi and others were
Startled.
"Come on, don't look at the crystal coffin anymore." Wang Qinian's expression changed, and he walked around the steps and walked forward. Professor Qi and others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed. The group of people ran for their lives just like before.
, slipped away quickly.
Professor Qi and others followed Wang Qinian and rushed into the side hall. Compared to the grand hall, this side hall was much smaller, but it was filled with weapons, including medieval cavalry weapons, spears and iron shields.
"If according to the general rules of domestic princes' cemeteries, this is the weapons room, it means that the owner of this cemetery was a Wuhou during his lifetime." Professor Qi expressed his opinion.
"There is a secret door here." When one of Professor Qi's companions was observing the stone chamber, he discovered a secret door that could be pushed open on the stone wall beside him.
The secret door opened, and a strong light shone out from inside. For a moment, Professor Qi and others were so stung that they closed their eyes. They waited for their eyes to adapt to the brightness before they opened their eyes.
The dark room was full of light. Wang Qinian glanced at it and said slowly: "There is a light array inside, but this array can only illuminate, but there is no danger."
After hearing what Professor Qi said, a group of people entered the darkroom. Professor Qi never thought that this darkroom would bring them fatal danger. Among the five of them, he was the only one who escaped...
"What happened in that darkroom? With my father's ability, you can escape. There is no reason why he can't escape." Wang Rui asked anxiously.
"Of course your father could have escaped. No, to be precise, Brother Qinian could have killed him, but he didn't do that."
Professor Qi looked at Wang Rui with a hint of guilt and said: "In that dark room, we first encountered a few strange statues. These statues were exactly the same as the ones you asked the villagers to dig out, and the same ones were
, except Brother Qinian, several teammates and I were all affected by the trick and became crazy."
"Then how did you wake up?" Wang Rui seemed to have guessed something, and asked with trembling lips.
"You guessed it right, it's your father's finger." Professor Qi took out the box again, put his hand on it and stroked it a few times. "When a few of us regained consciousness, we discovered your father's left hand.
They were dripping with blood, but when we asked him how he did it, he didn't tell us. He just told us that these sculptures were weird and asked us not to touch them again."
"I was told by your father later that in order to save us, he bit each of our fingers, and a quarter of the flesh on his middle finger was bitten off alive."
When Wang Rui heard what Professor Qi said, he made a click in his hand, and he inserted the knife directly into the soil below, staring at Professor Qi fiercely.
"Hey, what you are looking at is your father's own wish. Your father also wants to save people. He is an admirable person, but you, as a son, can only harm others."
Xuanxuan on the side saw her teacher being stared at so viciously by Wang Rui, so she quickly stepped forward and said loudly.
Zhang Haiming and others also nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. Although this matter sounded a bit bloody, if Wang Qinian had not been willing to do so, Professor Qi and others would not have been able to bite his fingers with his outstretched hands.
Among all the people, only Qin Yu lowered his head and unconsciously drew lines on the ground with a dead branch. If anyone could see Qin Yu's eyes at this time, they would find that Qin Yu's eyes were full of brilliant colors at this time.
.
"Keep talking." Wang Rui suppressed his anger, looked at Professor Qi, and demanded.
"We rested for a while and then continued to set off. By this time, no one wanted to quit. The tomb of this British Duke was so mysterious, it was like there was a magic power that attracted us to see what happened."
Professor Qi once again brought everyone into his memories, to the mysterious British Duke's tomb under the Yellow River twenty years ago...
Except for the crazy things, Professor Qi and his group began to become cautious and never touch weird things easily. After walking smoothly for an hour, they met a person.
One who sits on a throne!
In front of them, a throne appeared, and on the throne, sitting a masked man, he was covered in priest's uniform, holding a scripture in his hand, when Professor Qi and others walked in
When he was in sight, his eyes left the scriptures and looked at Professor Qi and others.
When he looked into those eyes, Professor Qi was completely confused. He didn't know how to describe those eyes. It was a cold look without any emotion, but it gave Professor Qi a kind of compassion.
feeling.
The masked man finally set his sights on Wang Qinian, and Professor Qi also discovered that when Wang Qinian looked at the masked man, his whole body was trembling slightly, and the expression on his face became very strange and filled with hatred, but
There was also respect. This was the first time he saw such a drastic change in Wang Qinian's expression. Even though there was still blood on Wang Qinian's hands before, he still had no expression on his face.
"Who is that masked man?" It was Qin Yu who asked this question. This was also the first time Qin Yu interrupted Professor Qi's memories.
"I don't know." A bitter smile appeared on Professor Qi's face and he shook his head, "I don't know anything. Not only do I not know who the masked man is, I don't even know how my companions died.
"
After Wang Qinian's eyes met the masked man's eyes for a long time, a sharp roar suddenly came from the masked man's mouth. As soon as the sharp roar rang out, Professor Qi felt his head sink and he lost consciousness.
However, at the moment when he lost consciousness, he took one last look at Wang Qinian beside him, only to find that Wang Qinian had gone somewhere and had completely disappeared.
"When I woke up again, I was already in another strange place. Apart from me, there was only Brother Qinian. And Brother Qinian's body was covered in scars, his shirt was completely torn, and even the spine on his back was exposed.
, the flesh on the chest has even rotted, and the only intact part is a pair of legs."
Hearing the tragic situation of his father, Wang Rui's veins stood out. Zhang Haiming and others could also imagine from Professor Qi's description that Wang Qinian must have experienced a big battle with the masked man.
"Brother Qinian saw that I woke up and told me that we had been fooled. This ancient tomb is a trap, and there are some terrifying beings imprisoned in it. The masked man is like this, and the beings in the crystal coffin on the main hall are like this.
The same is true. He had fought with the masked man before, but the other party was too terrifying. The wounds on his body were caused by the masked man. Therefore, in desperation, he could only take him to escape. As for the other few
The members of the archaeological team are probably in danger.” (To be continued)
