Chapter 117 Special Burial Objects

But after they saw the situation in the well, they felt relieved.

I saw that the slippery well wall had no effect on Chen Ziyan's actions. He was leaning on the well wall with all four limbs, holding a flashlight in his mouth, and was descending at a constant speed. Obviously their worries were unnecessary.

At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly said: "It's easy to go down but hard to come up. We also need to make a double-buckle safety lock to pull Mr. Chen up later."

She didn't know that Chen Ziyan had the unique skill of climbing walls, and thought he had used some kind of skill to slide down.

Although Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan knew that Chen Ziyan had extraordinary methods, they also felt that it was better to be prepared.

After looking at each other, Wang Kaixuan handed the gun in his hand to Hu Bayi, and turned around and ran outside, wanting to go back to the camp to get the climbing rope.

They came here in a hurry and didn’t bring any equipment or anything, so they had to have someone go back to get it.

Chen Ziyan, who was falling at this time, had no idea what the people above were doing. He was heading towards the bottom of the well while paying attention to the surrounding well walls.

He remembered that the secret door leading to the ancient tomb was hidden on the wall of the ancient well.

And when he went down to about fifteen or six meters, he felt wisps of cool wind blowing from his side. When he turned his head and looked around, he saw a stone door appearing on the wall of the well.

Chen Ziyan adjusted his body angle so that he was facing the stone door, and then pressed one hand on it.

It may be due to disrepair or other reasons, so it took him a lot of effort to push the stone door open.

With the light of the flashlight in his mouth, he can clearly see that behind the stone door is a corridor with a typical masonry structure. In addition to being spacious and neat, you can also see that there is a stone door in the depths.

Although in his memory, there was no danger in the tomb of Prince Gumo, for the sake of caution, Chen Ziyan still took out a few short arrows from his pocket and threw them towards the area where the mechanism might appear.

Ding Dong——

Several metal collisions sounded, but there was nothing unusual in the corridor.

After confirming the condition of the tunnel, Chen Ziyan pushed hard with his legs supporting the wall of the shaft, and he used this force to rush into the stone door.

After landing, Chen Ziyan saw clearly that there were two stone gates deep in the corridor.

The first stone gate has long been opened, but the following stone gate is still closed.

Picking up the short arrows thrown along the way, Chen Zi walked slowly to the deepest stone door.

The relief on this stone door was even more complicated. Judging from the outline, it should be some kind of exotic beast from the Western Regions. There were also processed animal skins stuck on the cracks of the door. He knew that only by removing these animal skins could he be able to see what was in front of him. This door opens.

Although Chen Ziyan did not have the habit of carrying a dagger with him, fortunately after he learned the hand-swinging arrow, he always kept a batch of metal short arrows in the possessed space, which he could barely replace at this time.

Although the animal skin was very firmly glued, it was not difficult to clean it after so many years, so he completed the task quickly.

Behind the stone gate is a spacious and dry stone chamber. The length and width of this stone chamber are about sixty meters, and the height is visually estimated to be more than three meters.

The floor of the stone chamber was covered with white bones, making it difficult for people to stay.

Chen Ziyan knelt down and took a look, and found that these withered bones came from animals, and had long since decayed under the erosion of time, leaving only an empty frame with an empty appearance, which would break into pieces if touched even slightly.

Around the stone chamber, there are dozens of wooden pillars, and each wooden pillar is tied with a long-dried male corpse. Judging from the body shape and bones, he should be in the prime of life.

Although this scene looks mysterious and terrifying, it has not exceeded Chen Ziyan's threshold and is within the acceptable range.

After briefly looking at the details of the stone chamber, he followed the clues in his memory and began to look for the hidden entrance to the tomb.

The search process was very simple, perhaps with a guide. It didn't take Chen Ziyan a few minutes to find a relief stone slab with a pull ring under the bones on the ground.

After pulling away the stone slab, he saw a space similar to this one, with a square sarcophagus placed in the center of the space.

The style of this sarcophagus is very different from that in the mainland. It does not have any carvings or paintings. It is not the traditional rectangular shape of the Central Plains, but looks like a box with a square mouth.

Chen Ziyan knew that this should be the coffin in which Prince Gumo and his wife were buried together.

In the original plot, the archaeological team did not open it, but the subsequent team suffered a huge loss, and only two or three kittens returned alive. Professor Chen, who was most concerned about this matter, went crazy and probably died. Later text.

But Chen Ziyan didn't care about that. After he went down to the tomb, he went straight to the strange sarcophagus.

After walking around the combined burial coffin, Chen Ziyan found that although the coffin had a strange shape, it did not actually deviate from the shape of the tombs in the Central Plains. The opening method was no different from ordinary coffins. Even if he took it out Tools ready for opening.

After he pulled out the stone tenon of the sarcophagus and cut through the oil wax sealing the gap between the coffin board and the coffin body, he grabbed both sides of the stone coffin board with both hands and gathered strength from his waist to push it directly. Arrived aside.

As the coffin board left, the situation inside the coffin came into view.

The sarcophagus is filled with a viscous, jelly-like translucent liquid. Two lifelike corpses, a man and a woman, lie peacefully in it. Chen Ziyan guessed that this liquid was probably some kind of special antiseptic liquid, and it was also the main reason why the owner of the coffin could still have an uncorrupted face.

Besides the two corpses, there were pieces of gold, silver and jade, which seemed to be burial objects.

Among these funerary objects, there were three things that attracted Chen Ziyan’s attention the most.

The first piece is a piece of jet black metal with an extremely irregular shape, which looks to be about the size of two tennis balls, with a faint bronze sheen on it.

The second item is a palm-sized milky white jade bottle. Through the crystal clear body of the bottle, you can vaguely see what is inside.

The third piece is a gorgeous unsheathed golden scimitar. This scimitar is shaped like a full sun. The blade is twice as wide as an ordinary scimitar. The tip of the blade is just against the end of the handle, forming a very large shape. Neatly round shape.

After looking around the coffin, Chen Ziyan took out a pair of thin metal folding sticks and planned to use these tools to take out the funerary objects.

After all, the composition of the liquid in the coffin was unknown, so he did not dare to put his hand in it rashly.

Although he was also interested in the other burial objects of Prince Gumo and his wife, they were not as heavy as these three items, so he wanted to take out these three burial objects first.

And until now, he has basically explored the entire tomb of Prince Gumo, but the prompt to complete the selection has not yet sounded. The reason may be because of the funerary objects.

Therefore, it is necessary to take things out and study this matter.

Although Chen Ziyan was lazy on weekdays, he was a typical activist when it came to serious matters. After unfolding the thin metal rod, he planned to take out the funerary objects in the coffin.

At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from above.

He secretly said something bad, knowing that someone else must have come down.

When even hesitating no longer, the thin metal stick in his hand reached into the solution in the coffin like a chopstick, and quickly and accurately took out the three funerary objects.

And the moment the golden scimitar came out of the coffin, the system's beep sounded in his ears, reminding him that he had completed the first choice.

Chen Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the prompt sound.

Just when he was about to continue, a light shone down from above, and a female voice also sounded: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"

Who heard this voice In an instant, Chen Ziyan frowned secretly and calmly put away the thin metal stick in his hand.

As he turned to look over, he thought to himself: Why is this girl down?

The reason why he didn't stop immediately was because he thought the person coming down would be Hu Bayi, but he didn't expect that the person coming down was Shirley Yang.

If he had known this earlier, he would have stopped immediately.

Speaking of this matter, we have to mention the rights and obligations of Chen Ziyan’s private museum. (Parallel time and space setting, please do not go into details.)

While he enjoys the right to independently explore and excavate ancient tombs, place valuable cultural relics in his own museum, and sell some damaged cultural relics, he also undertakes the protection , The obligation to maintain ancient sites and high-value antiquities.

Things like opening a library without authorization obviously do not meet this standard. If Professor Chen really wrote it into the report afterwards, he would not feel very comfortable even if he could solve it.

Thinking about how to block Shirley Yang's mouth, Chen Ziyan put a smile on his face and naturally gave Shirley Yang enough view to show his magnanimity.

“Open the coffin for inspection, does Miss Yang have any suggestions?”

Shirley Yang did not jump down directly like Chen Ziyan, but tied the rope honestly and followed the A rope slipped down.

After landing, she came to Chen Ziyan, first took a look at the situation inside the sarcophagus, and then looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "So, Mr. Chen, did you find anything?"

This The woman understands things very well and knows that since the coffin has been opened, there is no point in talking about it.

On the contrary, clarifying Chen Ziyan's discovery is the top priority now.

Chen Ziyan glanced at the sarcophagus next to him and said: "The only thing that can be known at the moment is that this should be a tomb of a noble from the ancient Western Regions. Considering the geographical location here, I guess that this may be a tomb left by the ancient country of Gumo. Come down.”

The best way to divert someone’s attention is to find something more attractive to them.

Obviously, Gumo Ancient Country is also an ancient civilization in the Western Regions, and has a natural attraction for Shirley Yang.

As expected, after hearing Chen Ziyan’s words, Shirley Yang’s eyes immediately became serious.

After looking at the sarcophagus in front of the meeting, she quickly shined her flashlight on the surrounding walls.

As a tomb robber... no, it was Shirley Yang who came from a family of archaeologists. She immediately thought that there might be murals recording the deeds of the tomb owner.

This is more valuable to her than this sarcophagus and those funerary objects!
