Chapter 65 Searching for the Ancient Tomb
Hu Bayi climbed out, took a few breaths, and looked excitedly at the people waiting for him to speak, "There is a platform below that is almost level with the water. Go inside Walk seven or eight meters and you will reach the iron gate. The iron gate is covered with animal skins. I wonder if there is an ancient tomb inside?"
There is also a platform under the well. Is there an iron gate inside the platform?
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. It was definitely true. There was an ancient tomb behind the iron gate.
"Comrade Xiao Hu, let's go down and go behind the iron gate to find out. This may open a new page for the archeology of the Western Regions." Professor Chen's cloudy eyes revealed unconcealable excitement.
"Yes, Comrade Hu Bayi, thank you very much. Thanks to you for being here this time." Professor Hao also said excitedly.
He asked Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng to connect the suspended ladder section by section, and then built a strong shelf on the wellhead and installed a pulley, which was tied with a rope.
The two ends of the rope are stretched down from the pulley and tied to the suspended ladder.
There is also a long rope on the suspended ladder, which is used to fasten the safety belt.
This set of equipment is quite awesome. The group of people slowly went down the ladder and soon reached the water surface. With the help of the rope swing, they easily jumped onto the stone platform. Behind them was the deep well water. .
There are stones built up deep into the well wall on the stone platform, which is more than ten meters wide and seven or eight meters high.
It is artificially excavated, not natural. Walking to the stone platform, there are several stone ladders sloping upwards. There is a five or six meter wide stone platform on top. A large dark iron door stands here. The door is covered with animal skins that have lost color, exuding The taste of resurgence.
“This is where the ancients brought livestock to be slaughtered. The freshly peeled animal skins are pressed against the cracks in the door, which can block the flow of moisture and better preserve the items inside.”
There must be an ancient tomb inside.
Comrade Hu’s Feng Shui skills are really terrifying.
Looking at the animal skins stuck on the big iron door, Professor Chen's old face showed joy.
"Professor, let's go in quickly, don't waste time."
The fat man urged, why are we lingering outside? But he was a little regretful that Hu Ming could not follow him down.
“Be gentle when peeling off the animal skin.” Professor Chen said.
Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Chu Jian used the edges of the engineer shovel to gently slide along the lines of the animal skin to peel it off. Ye Yixin quickly spread the moisture-proof cloth to cover it.
The animal skins were placed on the moisture-proof cloth, and the iron door was pushed open. Hu Bayi led the way with a broken gun. Everyone followed carefully, and in front of them was a stone wall corridor.
Arrived at the front, there is an iron gate. This iron gate is not covered with animal skins. It should be an ancient tomb inside.
Pushing open the iron door, he saw an extremely dark space in front of him. Hu Bayi first took out a gas mask, then took out a candle from his bag and lit it, and walked forward. Immediately, the entire space There was a pop, and the oil lamps lit up. This is fire dragon oil from the Western Regions. White phosphorus is added to it and it will burn when exposed to air.
Hu Bayi looked at the flame on the candle in his hand and found that it had not changed color, so he waved to everyone to come in.
"Ah!"
Ye Yixin, who had just come in, saw seven or eight shriveled corpses tied to stone pillars with a ferocious look on his face. He saw that he had experienced great panic before his death, and his face looked like this after his death. , she hurriedly hid beside Yang Xueli.
Yang Xueli raised her eyebrows, a little helpless. As an archaeologist, you are actually afraid of corpses?
“This is a sacrificial platform, similar to some kind of cult’s sacrificial activities. Some slaves and livestock are They were left in the sun to be exposed to death, and then brought into the sacrificial room as offerings to the gods.”
Looking at the tragic situation in the sacrificial room, Professor Chen had a heavy face.
Even though he was used to seeing more miserable scenes in ancient tombs, he felt very uncomfortable after seeing this sacrificial room.
“In this abominable society, our new era is better.”
The fat man looked at these corpses with sympathy on his face, both human and livestock. He looked at the stone wall. They were some The murals of birds and animals are lifelike and colorful, but you can see that the colors fade quickly when they meet the air.
Sa Di Peng and Chu Jian quickly took pictures with their cameras, and every detail of the entire sacrificial room was captured. After doing all this, Sa Di Peng looked at Professor Chen, with a look in his eyes. There was a flash of hesitation, and after he pondered for a while, he said: "Professor, do you think this has something to do with aliens?"
Professor Chen was not in the mood to pay attention to him, and a pair of cloudy eyes looked at him. After looking at the sacrificial room for a long time, he looked slightly disappointed. He turned his head and looked at Hu Bayi beside him and said: "Comrade Xiao Hu, it seems that we are all wrong. This is just a secret sacrificial room, not an ancient tomb."
Yang Xueli's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, the sacrificial room is like this, how can there be any coffin?
It seems that Lao Hu's Tianxing Feng Shui is also good, how can it be so powerful.
Ye Yixin, Sa Dipeng, and Chu Jian all looked at Hu Bayi questioningly, with disappointment evident in their eyes.
There is no ancient tomb. Who wouldn’t be disappointed if you take the ancient tomb test?
Even the fat man looked disappointed and thought: No wonder Mingzi didn’t come down. It turns out that he knew there was no ancient tomb here. Ah, the fat man who dared to love me was so happy for nothing.
As he walked forward, he suddenly tripped under his feet. He stumbled forward and fell to the ground, which hurt his knees. He touched his knees and said, "Don't fatten your knees secretly, kid." Don't sneak up on me, fat man. If you have the ability, come out and challenge me. I'll call someone first. "
He looked around, and when he saw everyone looking at him like an idiot, he suddenly smiled.
"Fat brother, this thing tripped you up. "Ye Yixin's eyes were sharp and he saw something popping up. This thing was sunk deep into the ground, and he couldn't tell what it was?
At this time, Hu Ba showed deep doubts in his eyes. , according to the explanation of the ancestral sixteen-character yin-yang feng shui secret technique, there must be a big tomb in such a place?
Could it be in the water? He felt that this time he was a little slapped in the face. , but just happened to see the fat man wrestling, and after hearing Ye Yixin’s words, he immediately looked over, is that a hidden mechanism?
When Hu Ba saw this, he hurried over, squatted down, and reached out to touch it.
Huh? It’s an iron ring.
Hu Bayi pulled hard, and with a click, an iron ring was pulled out.
The corners of Hu Bayi's lips slightly raised and he said: "Professor Chen, this is a trap. Once opened, the ancient tomb cannot escape, but everyone should be careful."
