At night in the desert, the starry sky looks particularly beautiful today.
Hu was lying on the ground and suddenly muttered to Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, something is wrong. Look at the arrangement of the stars. I have seen it in the 16-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui secret technique. This is definitely not an ordinary place. It is rare. The treasure land!”
"Is there a big tomb?"
Wang Kaixuan asked in a low voice: "Lao Hu, come on, should we dig up the big tomb in this treasure land first and take a look?"
Maybe there are countless gold and silver treasures waiting for them.
Hu nodded slightly and asked Wang Kaixuan to call Jiang Chi. The three of them were ready to make a thorough calculation to see where the tomb was located.
Who would have known that Jiang Que had already closed his eyes to rest and practice cultivation.
After Hu took out the compass and placed it for a while, everyone naturally noticed it and couldn't help but said: "Comrade Hu, what did you find?"
This question was asked by Chen Jiuren.
If nothing happens, I'm afraid Hu won't take out the compass to see.
After watching for a while, Hu Zedao said: "Professor Chen, there should be a large tomb here, which is where a treasure is located. The giant gate star, the left auxiliary star, the right star, and the three shining stars are arranged in an equilateral triangle. The central sun star and lunar star are obvious. , what a set of golden auspicious stars."
But no one understood what he said.
Then he said calmly: "Looking at the location, it should be this well. This well is the entrance to the tomb. According to the Tianxing Feng Shui technique I have mastered, it should be here."
Soon, Sr Yang and the others were surprised to find an underground river under the well. Hu and the others made preparations before going to the tomb.
In this situation, they really want to go in and take a look.
However, they were stopped by An Liman. He did not allow these people to go digging and thought that Hu and the others were tomb robbers.
After everyone tried to explain, they still couldn't explain anything.
But An Liman yelled angrily: "If I had known you were such people, I wouldn't have brought you here, not even the money."
But they argued hard and continued to explain.
After some explanations by Professor Chen and others, An Liman still didn't understand these people. He felt that the people who excavated large tombs were all the same in the world, and there was no difference in his opinion anyway.
After these professors painstakingly explained, they were allowed to go down.
Jiang Chi didn't say anything. It was just a big tomb, so he dug it. The most important thing was that he was not from this world, so he knew the current situation better.
After Hu went down, everyone followed him down.
At this time, everyone saw a huge space under the well, which should be a tomb, but it was a bit old.
Seeing this, Jiang Chi knew that it must be a tomb from the Gumo Kingdom in the ancient Western Regions.
He murmured: "I don't know what is buried under this big tomb. Even things like the fire ladybug and the nine-story demon tower are related to the Gumo Kingdom in the Western Regions. It's really unimaginable."
But he didn't come here for this tomb.
After staying there, Professor Chen looked at a piece of animal skin on the wall and said: "In ancient times, some living animals would be brought to the sacrificial room to be slaughtered, and then the freshly peeled animal skin would be immediately pasted on the gap of the stone door, and It can also be better preserved by isolating ice water and other substances.
Judging from the situation in front of me, it seems that no one has been here for many years."
After they took off the animal skin, they slowly pushed the stone door open.
After entering, I didn't find anything special, and the expected dangers didn't appear. There were quite a few mummies, and the flames in the lamps were lit.
Wang Kaixuan thought it was a ghost and said with a smile: "Don't they all say ghosts blow out lanterns? Why has it changed here and become a ghost lighting up lanterns?"
Professor Chen smiled and explained: "This should be the setup of an oil lamp lit with white phosphorus. I have seen it in many places."
White phosphorus has a relatively low ignition point and will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air, so it is not unexpected for oil lamps to be ignited.
Many mummies are tied up. Because it is located in a desert area, where it is relatively dry and lacks water, the corpses are easily dried, which is not surprising.
In the center of the tomb is something like a large altar, but it is old and covered with dust. It looks like it has not been occupied for many years.
At this time, SR Yang said to Chen Jiuren: "Professor Chen, the mummies here should all be slaves buried in sacrifice. It should not be a real cemetery, but a place for sacrificial activities."
Soon, they discovered a mechanism. There was actually another layer below the main hall.
This is the real location of the tomb.
After they all went down, Professor Chen immediately began to study the murals in the hall, and explained: "It seems that this is the tomb form of the ancient Western Region people that has been lost for a long time.
These murals seem to be related to the ancient city of Jingjue.
According to legend, the Gumo Kingdom was a small country among the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions, and was also a vassal state of the Jingjue Kingdom. They were so bullied that they had to donate a large amount of treasures, cattle, sheep, and slaves to the Jingjue Kingdom every year.
One of the murals shows Prince Gumo asking to see Queen Jingjue to reduce taxes for his subjects, but Queen Jingjue refused to meet him. Prince Gumo is the incarnation of the Sun God of War. He sneaked into the Kingdom of Jingjue alone and wanted to assassinate her.
The exquisite queen discovered a shocking secret.
Prince Gumo was peeping in the corner, Queen Jingjue looked at a slave, and then disappeared, she should be a banshee?"
At the end of the explanation, Professor Chen was a little dumbfounded.
The last thing shown in this mural is a bit too magical. After looking at a person, the person disappeared inexplicably at a strange speed.
However, just when everyone was confused, SR Yang said: "I once read a book called The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, which was written by Tang Xuanzang, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty.
In one of his books, he wrote something like this.
In the deepest part of the desert, there lived a group of people from the underground. They ruled the surrounding small countries. When it came to the last queen, it was said that this queen's eyes were the passage to the underworld. She only had to look at her enemies to defeat them.
It will disappear without a trace.
As for where the disappeared people have gone, no one knows.”
After explaining, she actually had some guesses about Queen Jingjue. The queen recorded in the Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty should be the so-called Queen Jingjue.
According to some legends, the desert submerged the royal city, so all the countries, large and small, became extinct, and even the Jingjue Kingdom disappeared.
At this time, Professor Chen continued to explain the mural at the back, saying: "Prince Gumo did not succeed. After he returned home, he was met by a fortune teller from a distant country who asked him to create a poison to poison Queen Jingjue."
Slowly talking about the things on these murals.
Professor Chen was a little sad. The Kingdom of Jingjue had involved too many people and things for too many years. Finding the tomb of Prince Gumo was already their biggest discovery.
However, Hu believed that Queen Jingjue should be a banshee, at least according to the interpretation of the mural, so she didn't want to go any further.
But Professor Chen advised: "Comrade Hu, we can only explain some unknown secrets in history if we keep moving forward.
Otherwise, our archaeological research will never make progress, and no one will ever know how the Jingjue Kingdom disappeared in history."
