Chapter 16 The Fourth Floor Tomb 2(1/2)

Erpang didn't say anything and put the safety rope around his waist: "I'm afraid, I haven't seen anything in the army before, I'll go!"

Shang Qingyun looked at me and nodded.

He was asking if I needed him to go down to protect Erpang, which is of course. We finally reunited between childhood friends, so I don’t want something to happen to Erpang.

I tied the safety rope around Shang Qingyun's waist and checked it to confirm that it was correct.

Shang Qingyun and Erpang sank down the ramp.

What happened later was what they told me after I met Erpang and Shang Qingyun. I am just a reteller here:

After the second fat monk Qingyun walked down the rock climbing rope, he encountered the second mechanism.

The so-called ramp is actually a means to confuse tomb robbers. After passing a small 60-degree slope, they encountered an air inlet.

The so-called air inlet is a kind of scientific and eccentric phenomenon that cannot be explained so far. That is, the air inlet has a very powerful suction force, and anyone who is close to it will be sucked in.

Similar to ocean vortexes and quicksand, this situation is more common in the sea. For example, the most famous "blue hole", as long as someone approaches the blue hole, he will lose the buoyancy brought by the water and be sucked into the blue hole, and the corpse will remain.

And such air inlets are rare underground.

The second fat monk Qingyun is both a family son. The two responded quickly before being sucked into the air inlet. They cut off the safety rope to prevent us from being implicated.

Then, before being sucked in by strong wind, we leverage force on the stone wall so that we can adjust the angle while falling, successfully cross the cliff at the air inlet, and come to the entrance of the fourth floor tomb.

At the entrance of the corridor, they found an epitaph engraved with the tomb owner's experience during his lifetime.

However, they didn't know much about the research of ancient characters, so they could only continue to explore and find a way for us to enter.

Unlike the three floors above, the burial system of ancient tombs is unexpectedly common. Except for the specifications of the tombs that are far beyond imagination, the left and right ear chambers, burial pits, etc. are not much different from the tombs with ordinary kings and princes.

Along with Shang Qingyun, Erpang triggered far fewer mechanisms. It seems that Shang Qingyun knows this ancient tomb very well.

The structure of this ancient tomb is similar to two "Shen" characters connected together, winding around. They searched for a long time but couldn't find where the main tomb is. Instead, they found a small path in the left second ear chamber, and the entrance is

Just now, the four of us discovered the room where the bones were eaten.

The question is how to get rid of it now. The outside is surrounded by human pupa. Shang Qingyun and Erpang are in the fourth floor of the tomb. They cannot come back because of the air inlet.

As he was in a dilemma, Professor Jiang suddenly said, "Who can make a fire?"

I remembered that there was a fire note on my body, and I took it out and handed it to Professor Jiang.

Professor Jiang patted my shoulder: "Xiao Chen, I'm going to trouble you next."

"I?"

"I saw that, although I don't know why, those insects are afraid of you. This insect relieving can attract human moths. You can take one to absorb the attention of human moths, and then throw it out to attract the attention of human moths, and take this opportunity to throw out a handful of them.

Fire burned them to death.”

I swallowed and spitted, and looked at the jar covered with black and large washbasin, and felt disgusting.

But now there is only one way to survive.

I suppressed my fear and chills and approached the jar and took out a relatively small worm-relieving insect from it.

The worm-relieving that the worm-relieving is not enough. Looking at such a large worm-relieving, I feel that it looks too much like a hybrid variety of Chinese claws and dung beetles, and the more I look at it, the more I feel disgusting.

I grabbed a worm and the others climbed up first. Captain Zhao stood by the door and nodded at me.

Liu Sa and a few others pulled me up. Jie Chong saw that I didn't bite, but was very excited when he saw the others.

I saw the opportunity and took advantage of Captain Zhao's opening the door and threw Jie Chong out.

When the human moths saw that there were worms rushing to grab food, senior Liu Sa lit two fire notes, one threw them into the cellar and the other out of the door.

Those human moths were only concerned about robbing food and relieving insects and were burned to death by a fire.

Looking at the twisting screams of the moths in the flames, I felt particularly complicated.

At this time, a buzzing sound came from above, and more human moths flew from the direction of the Sanmura Sacred Tree.

We had no time to hesitate and ran to the house where we had found the corpse before.

There is indeed a movable stone slab under the corpse that is not easy to be discovered. There is a cellar that is exactly the same as before. However, this time the road at the end of the cellar was covered with stone strips and sealed with white mud.

"You can use strong acid to corrode these white mud, and don't harm the door sealing stone strips and things in the tomb."

Captain Zhao and the others are much more skilled than newcomers like me.

The others calmed down briefly from the fear and started working their homework one after another. Senior Liu Sa and I also helped assemble the equipment used to break the door.

After the strong acid corrodes the white clay bit by bit, only the stone strips assembled from the mortise and tenon structure were left. According to the guidance of the senior sister who specializes in architecture in the team, we removed the stone strips bit by bit intact.

The closed corridor stone door had no support and fell down with a bang.

Waiting for us on the other side of the gate—

But it’s not Shang Qingyun and Zhang Erpang.

"Hey hee hee--"

Behind the stone gate is a statue with a dragon-headed dog body hidden.

The creepy laughter came from its mouth.

"Be careful!" It was said slowly, and then it was soon.

Senior Liu Sa reacted first and kicked me to the ground with a side kick.

At the same time, a mist-like gas erupted from the statue's mouth, but with a weird green color.

The green mist was spraying on the face of the senior sister who recorded and studied the structure of the tomb door.

Her originally beautiful face rotted in the blink of an eye, and before she could even scream, her whole body turned into a pool of blood in her breath.

"Ah!" Captain Zhao rushed up angrily and smashed the stone statue with his hand, causing blood and flesh to splatter.

I heard senior Liu Sa gossip that this senior sister is the favorite of Captain Zhao. The two have always been in an underground relationship. They are afraid of affecting the work of the archaeological team, so they planned to go home and get married next year.

Several other archaeological team members came forward to persuade Captain Zhao. Professor Jiang took the lead in gathering some soil from nearby, buried the pool of plasma on the spot, and built a tomb for his senior sister.

I felt very uncomfortable, and I watched one colleague after another fall in front of me, but there was no way out.

If it weren't for the protection of Senior Liu Sa just now, I would have turned into blood at this time.

Some were sobbing in the dark, while others were muttering and complaining.

Our archaeological team continued to explore in depth in this extremely depressing atmosphere.

"Professor, why don't we go back to the top first and apply for a cultural relics protection license before coming down?" Liu Sa advised Professor Jiang.

Unexpectedly, Professor Jiang was very stubborn this time: "No, it's a pity not to continue exploring such a miracle. Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility."

"There are words on this statue, which says...hu?"

"It's Panhu. According to legend, Panhu was a dragon-headed and dog-body divine beast during the Emperor's period. Because General Wu of Quanrong and Wu committed rebellion, Emperor Ku sent Panhu to conquer. As a reward, Emperor Ku betrothed his daughter to Panhu, and Panhu carried him with him.

His wife and daughter retired in Nanshan. Later generations of Li, Yao and Miao are said to be descendants of Panhu."

"Is this Panhu's tomb?"

"That's not necessarily true. Look at Panhu at the gate of the tomb. This is helping others to guard the house. I'm afraid the identity of the tomb owner is not low." Liu Sa said, "And it should be the tomb of a person related to Panhu."

We lowered our predecessors and drilled into the gaps on both sides of the statue. The gaps were very narrow and even if we were a little fat, we couldn't get through.

Only by passing through the Panhu statue is the passage to the ancient tomb. It is different from the ancient tombs recorded in the past. Although the burial system is consistent, the specifications are huge and more important than before.

Not only that, there are countless burial objects in this ancient tomb.

There are many gold, silver, jade and pottery tiles piled up on both sides of the corridor. We searched them all and found no porcelain. The porcelain history is very early and can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. There are everything here, but there is no porcelain.

This means that the tomb was even earlier than that in the Shang Dynasty!

This brings us a little excitement in our sorrow, and it is very likely that the tomb we discovered will confirm the existence of Xia, even earlier.

"There are patterns on the warehousings, but... this seems to be not Taotie pattern or bronze inscriptions. It is a font that cannot be understood at all, and it is more inclined to..."

"Oracle bone script, Cangjie script." The voice came from a little boy.

The second fat monk Qingyun walked out of the end of the dark corridor, neither of them looked very good.

"Where did you just go?" I asked them.

"I'm talking to you, what can these clay pots be developed? I'm going to tell you to go forward with us and make sure you're shocked and dropped your chin."

We looked at each other, not understanding the implicit sound of the two of us. So we took a few photos carefully, then put them in a bag with a few more typical and easy-to-carry cultural relics, and waited back to analyze their structural substances with instruments to determine the cultural relics.

The specific era.

Following Shang Qingyun and Erpang, we walked through the corridor.

On the way, Shang Qingyun gave me something. I saw through the lightning that this was a black and white Tai Chi Gouyu: "Brother Yu, take it."

I guess it should have similar functions as the amulet given to me by Liu Sa before.

Speaking of the amulet, I remembered it. I also carried Mo Qiaoyu's diary and that strange amulet. When I thought I had the opportunity to change the amulet of Senior Liu Sa, I asked.

But now I have other questions to ask Shang Qingyun.

"We met a ghost to hit the wall." Before I could speak, Shang Qingyun said to me first, "Brother Yu, you must be careful. If you have any questions, you should point your fingers at Gouyu three times."

"Okay, thank you." I said, "Why do you know so much about this place? Have you been here?"
