Chapter 12: Into the Ancient Tomb(1/2)

In the gloomy atmosphere of the tomb.

I saw something like this again.

It's hard not to feel uncomfortable.

Have demons really appeared in the world?

Li Qiang couldn't help but ask: "Professor, what do you think of these relief paintings?"

Professor Tang said: "Although it is a rare and precious cultural relic, I have reservations about the authenticity of the content."

The other two professors also nodded.

As a staunch materialist, I still don’t believe in ghosts and gods in the world.

Professor Tang continued: "Whether it is documents or paintings, their essence is creation, and creation, no matter what period it is in, is susceptible to interference from the will of the upper class."

"Historical research is a rigorous job."

"So there is a statement that cannot be supported by independent evidence."

"These contents are just narratives that the ruling class wants to leave behind, but they are not necessarily the true face of history at that time. We need more evidence to restore the historical truth as much as possible."

That's what it says.

Luo Zheng, Li Qiang, and Wang Yue were still full of doubts.

If it were not for the purpose of suppressing a lawless monster that could threaten all interest groups, there is really no reason why the powerful people at that time could work together to spend so much money on building a tomb.

"The underground palace has five floors."

"This is just the first layer."

"I hope there will be more evidence and discoveries in the future."

Professor Tang glanced at his watch: "Okay, this tomb is too big, we have to hurry up."

Continue to the grave.

Twenty minutes later.

Finally reached the second floor.

This was equally badly damaged.

There are black stone statue fragments all over the ground.

However, it is not difficult to tell that before the stone statue was smashed, it was a domineering and majestic soldier about two meters tall, wearing a strong sword.

Professor Tang concluded after a rough inspection: "There were originally at least a thousand heavenly soldiers and generals here, all carved from volcanic stone, forming an organized legion. Unfortunately, they were all destroyed by violence."

The audience and experts who were watching the live broadcast gasped!

At least a thousand heavenly soldiers and generals will guard this place!

What a chilling scene that should be!

The manpower and material resources consumed to carve this army are also a huge astronomical figure!

The second floor was not only guarded by heavenly soldiers and generals, but also a large number of destroyed and activated traps were discovered.

Professor Wang said with emotion: "Perhaps we should thank Ran Min. Although he destroyed this precious underground army, he also destroyed various dangerous traps in the stone tomb."

Indeed.

This level is very dangerous.

If it is not destroyed by violence.

There is a high probability that several people will be trapped or even in danger of their lives.

Professor Li said: "Judging from the layout here, the heavenly soldiers and generals should be used to guard the ancient tombs, and these traps are used to target tomb robbers in later generations."

What a pity!

This is what all viewers and experts think!

There are so many powerful and domineering heavenly soldiers and generals with different postures, which is undoubtedly another spectacle comparable to the terracotta warriors and horses... Now there are only a bunch of fragments left, and we can only hope that they can be repaired later!

No stopping.

Enter the third floor.

The space on this floor is larger.

The dome is eight meters high, equivalent to two or three floors!

From the ground to the dome, a large number of auspicious clouds, auspicious beasts and flying fairies are depicted. The paints are bright in color and the content is compact and rich. The painting style is similar to the Mogao Grottoes murals, depicting scenes from the Western Paradise.

There is a huge lotus pedestal in front of the underground palace, and there are dozens or hundreds of smaller lotus pedestals around it. However, the lotus pedestal is empty and there are obvious signs of damage.

"professor!"

"Look here!"

When Li Qiang shined an archaeological light on the wall, a golden reflection appeared in front of him, and he saw niches in the walls covered with murals, each of which enshrined a golden Arhat.

"It's gold!"

"These Buddha statues."

"They're plated with gold!"

The six team members used lights to scan the surroundings, and were all shocked to discover that the walls in all directions were densely packed with niches, and in each niche was a golden Buddha statue.

Professor Tang took a long time to say: "If you guessed correctly, there was originally a golden statue of the Buddha on the largest lotus platform in the middle. On the left and right of the big lotus platform were the disciples of the Buddha, and there were dozens of lotus platforms around it.

Buddha."

Professor Li murmured to himself: "Buddha is in the middle, surrounded by Bodhisattvas, countless Arhats are distributed in all directions, and there are these murals representing the Paradise... Is this going to create a legendary Buddhist world in the West?"

So shocking!

Although the underground palace was severely damaged.

Although the most important golden bodies of Buddha and Bodhisattva are gone.

However, the walls full of Arhats and colorful murals can still make people who walk in here feel as solemn and solemn as walking into a Buddhist kingdom.

Comments on all major platforms instantly exploded.

“It’s so shocking!”

“This is simply a cultural treasure house!”

“These murals are so beautiful, their scale and quantity are not inferior to those of the entire Mogao Grottoes!”

"Wow, there are so many golden Buddhas, even if they are gold-plated, they must be measured in tons!"

"According to the current price of gold, one ton of gold is worth 400 million. I think the gold used in it is worth at least several billion. It's a pace to get rich!"

"vulgar!"

"Can it be calculated like this?"

"This is priceless!"

"..."

So gorgeous!

So solemn!

How can you not be shocked?

The three professors suppressed their excitement. They came here not for research, but to find out the basic situation of the ancient tomb, so they could only forcibly put away their impulse to research and start looking for the tomb passage on the fourth floor of the ancient tomb.

Visiting a grave can go so smoothly.

I really have to thank Ran Min, King of Wu Dao.

The lower part of the third floor of the ancient tomb is completely sealed. At least hundreds of tons of stones were used. Even with the equipment and tools of modern society, it would be impossible to open it without damaging the tomb in half a month.

One thousand seven hundred years ago.

Ran Min used thousands of manpower to pry open the passage.

Therefore, the archaeological team did not need to wait and entered the next level directly.

The further down you go.

The lower the temperature.

When reaching the fourth floor.

Everyone felt a bone-chilling chill.

Luo Zheng glanced at the thermometer. The temperature here was already close to zero, and it was the end of August. Even underground, it was impossible to have such a low temperature. This phenomenon could not be explained scientifically.

but.

compared to temperature.

What's even more shocking is what you see before your eyes.
