Chapter 50 Shock from more than 2,000 years ago
As professional archaeological talents, old man Li Yunshan and old man Lu Changling have been responsible for countless archaeological works. They are both professionals among professionals.
But it seems that this time they have not yet excavated the main ruins, but they have gained a lot, and there are still the remains of such a huge bronze portal. They have really not excavated it several times in their lifetime.
Faced with the relics that may be suspected to be the relics of the First Emperor's alchemy, the two old men were careful and cautious.
After taking adequate planning and protection measures, the two old men led the crowd to find a good angle far away from the bronze portal, and used the oldest method, gently Digging started.
During the excavation process, everyone was very careful, their movements were extremely gentle, and they used each shovel lightly, for fear that they might dig out any treasures buried in the cliff.
But fortunately, nothing like this happened.
Although the soil is very soft, excavation work is still very time-consuming.
Dig from early morning to noon, then from noon to sunset, and then continue digging with a flashlight.
Everyone dug for nearly a day before digging out a passage more than ten meters long on the mountain.
Faced with all this, everyone was already exhausted and sweating, their backs and legs ached, but at this time their mental state was extremely full.
Because as the excavation continues, almost everyone has a hunch in their minds that there is definitely a huge secret hidden behind the bronze portal ahead!
Finally!
On the second day, after they continued to dig a few meters, a crisp sound finally came from the front!
‘Dang~! ’
The shovel collided with the ancient rocks, making a crisp sound.
Everyone hurried forward and found that in front of the passage, there was a wall made of accumulated rocks. This wall was square, each one meter in diameter, flat and smooth, and obviously unnatural. product!
The light of the flashlight illuminated the entire passage, and almost everyone's eyes lit up with excitement!
“This stone can definitely be a relic of the Qin Dynasty!”
“Look at the patterns on this stone, this one represents the flowing clouds, this one represents the mountains and rivers, and these two This character is a totem from the Qin Dynasty, representing the black bird and the real dragon!”
Old man Li Yunshan spoke excitedly here, studying it carefully, and it was obvious that he was a little excited.
“Be careful and just push these stones away!”
“These stones have become very soft under the baptism of time. Be careful and don’t damage them!”
Everyone nodded.
With excitement, three tall and strong team members stepped forward, carefully placed their hands on it, and pushed it gently.
"Be careful! Don't destroy it. These are ancient cultural relics!"
"Who built this? To dig such a big hole in such a deep mountain and build such a The ancient ruins are even built with stone barriers!"
"Is it really from the time when Emperor Ying Zheng was a child?"
"There will be alchemy in it! Relics?”
“It must be! Even if it’s not, it’s definitely a huge discovery!”
Everyone was discussing excitedly in low voices, and with a clicking sound, a large stone wall was gradually pushed out of a gap!
Everyone held their breath, and all the light of the flashlight was concentrated here!
‘Kakakaka’
With the heart-wrenching sound of rocks interlacing, the huge one-meter-thick rock was gradually pushed away by everyone!
Following the sound of heavy breathing, the cracks in the rock expanded inch by inch.
A slight breeze gradually came from behind the rock.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, their eyes widened, and behind their flashlight glasses, they were all extremely excited! Especially people like Ye Qingyao and Chu Yi who had not participated in archeology a few times, their breathing was stagnant!
To know this period of history, it is not even recorded in the history books!
Whether it is true or not, they are all witnessing the blank years in a certain period of history!
finally!
The huge square boulder was completely pushed away.
Everyone looked over eagerly.
However, when the light of the flashlight shone in and no one could fully see the scene inside, a strong wind without any warning suddenly burst out from the space inside the boulder!
This strong wind came so suddenly, it directly blew the first few people staggering, their faces were rising, and there were even wisps of blood seeping through!
However, the few people at the front didn't care about this at all.
They just stared blankly at everything behind the square boulder, their eyes as wide as copper bells, full of shock.
“This is.”
“What?”
Xi Wei’s light.
Illuminating the interior space.
Unlike the dark cave you imagined, this is a place with light.
It is about a hundred meters wide and ten meters high, and the overall area is about the size of two or three basketball courts.
One after another, ancient stone pillars stand among them.
Some of these stone pillars have collapsed, some are full of cracks, and some are still intact.
The top is carved in relief, full of wandering dragons and black birds, which together support this mountain site.
The cliff above the dome is neat and smooth, all made of large rocks. One after another, unknown gems are embedded in the stone wall, refracting the light of the flashlight. to all directions, bringing subtle light to the entire venue.
In the very center of this place is an ancient and huge platform.
There are various utensils placed on the platform, some large, some small, with different shapes, and they are densely distributed around the platform.
And in the center of this huge platform.
It is a huge bronze vessel.
It is about eight or nine meters high and more than ten meters wide. The whole body is square and slightly flat.
It is very much like a big cauldron, but it has six legs and four ears, and a huge bronze lid is just changed on it, so that it almost touches the top of the dome.
There are countless small bronze vessels around, and they are all densely located nearby, as if they are guarding this weird cauldron.
A faint aroma of herbs floated throughout the cave, and a gentle light illuminated everything. Above the huge altar, there was silence and spotless dust.
silence.
Deathly silence.
This moment.
Whether it is experienced archaeological experts such as old man Li Yunshan or a newbie like Ye Qingyao, they all looked at everything in the distance and were dumbfounded.
The grand altar, the towering alchemy furnace, and the dome almost covered with gems.
They were all shocked and speechless.
What is this
?
Is this the real alchemy place recorded in those jade inscriptions?
In this cave.
How could there be such a monument! !
