We walked out of the tomb chamber and came to a tomb passage. The tomb passage was made of regular bluestone, and it felt very dry and smooth. I turned around and looked at the tomb chamber just now, but only saw the black door of the tomb chamber, as if a giant beast with a big mouth was about to swallow us soon. I didn't dare to think about it, so I quickly turned my head.

In the narrow and long tomb passage, it was so quiet that we could only hear our footsteps and breathing. The tomb passage seemed very long, because the light of the flashlight was really limited, and we were still surrounded by darkness, but I could clearly feel that the tomb passage gradually began to rise, and several steps would appear under my feet from time to time. It seemed that the direction of the tomb passage was to take us to the upper level of the entire tomb.

I walked very carefully, my heart was hanging because in my perception, the tomb passage was full of information mechanisms, maybe poisonous arrows or traps, but along the way, we did not encounter any danger. I felt a little uneasy because I felt that this seemed too unusual. How could such a huge and carefully designed tomb have no mechanism settings? Is it the tranquility before the storm? I couldn't help but think about it.

We walked unobstructedly for a while until we encountered a stone door. We illuminated it with a flashlight. The two stone doors on the left and right were carved from a whole piece of bluestone, which looked very thick. We pushed it with our hands, but the stone door didn't move at all.

The stone door went from bottom to top to reach the top of the tomb passage, blocking our way. But it was not tightly clenched. There were at least two to three centimeters between the two doors and the upper part and the top of the tomb. But how should it be opened? I turned to look at Wen Mo, not knowing why I always thought he would have a solution, but Wen Mo was frowning at the carving on the door.

I was a little surprised. What was the best carving of this stone door? I thought that I also raised my flashlight to look at the stone door. I used to think that there might be patterns or monsters on it, or statues of gods and ghosts or even talismans, but I found that I really couldn't guess what the ancients thoughts were, because the two stone doors were carved with sea views and a big fish!

I'll go! This is an ancient tomb of the inland mountains. What does it mean to carve the sea? What does it mean to carve a fish? Is there any New Year painting every year?

I wondered if I had thought it was wrong about the carving content, so I planned to ask Wenmo, but he seemed to be in deep thought. I called him twice and he did not answer. I had to tell Yuanxiao what I thought. Yuanxiao also looked at the stone carving on the door, nodded, and said, "You read that right, the carving is indeed the sea and a fish, but as for what it means? Actually, I don't know. It's best to find some text records in the tomb to speculate."

Lantern Festival continued: "I think there are two possibilities in this situation. First, the tomb owner had a special life experience related to the sea before his life, so he had such carvings to express some of his feelings after his death. Another possibility is that this is an expression of a certain meaning, and the builder is making some hints."

"What do you imply?" I asked.

"What does it imply? It implys to go to the beach when you eat seafood!" Yuanxiao rolled her eyes, "Damn it! Ask me, how do I know!"

"Okay!" Wen Mo interrupted us: "No matter what, open this stone door first." As he said that, Wen Mo squatted down and raised his flashlight to squint inside the crack between the two doors, and then began to get equipment from his bag.

I felt curious, so I followed him and looked inside through the crack of the door. It was also pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything, but I could still see that there was still such a bluestone tomb passage on the other side of the door. I was about to withdraw the flashlight, but suddenly something flashed past the crack of the door. I was shocked and quickly searched again, but I couldn't find it. Could it be my illusion? No! That was a very real feeling and it shouldn't be wrong. But I couldn't confirm it, so I didn't tell Wen Mo and Yuanxiao about it.

At this time, Wen Mo had already taken out a pure steel crowbar-like thing from his bag, so I asked him: "How to open this door?"

Wen Mo told me that the carving technique on the door should be written by the Tang Dynasty craftsmen. This should be a tomb from the Tang Dynasty. There are sealing stones and stone troughs on the inside of the stone gate of the Tang Dynasty tomb. As long as the sealing stones are raised in the stone trough, the door can be opened. I nodded after hearing this. Opening mountains and building tombs is in line with the tomb style of the Tang Dynasty noble tombs. But one thing I can't understand is that the capital of the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an, which is now Xi'an. Based on the current tomb scale, the tomb owner must have a prominent status in his lifetime, but since his status is so high, why did he travel thousands of kilometers to the relatively desolate Qilian Mountains at that time to build a tomb? Perhaps the ultimate goal here is not to build a tomb? So what is such a huge project?

I suddenly extended another question from this. In fact, this is also the question I have always wanted to ask. Who is Wen Mo? Why did he come here! When I think of this, I couldn't help but look at this young man, who is experienced and steady in his work, is very familiar with the tombs, and has very good skills. What's more important is that he is not like ordinary tomb robbers. He seems to have no interest in the burial objects here. Obviously, he did not come to steal the underworld, but has other purposes. I impulsively wanted to ask Wen Mo this question several times, but I held it back because I knew that even if I asked, he would definitely not answer, which made everyone feel embarrassed and estranged. Moreover, what we need is that he can take us away safely. As for his purpose, it doesn't matter to me.

I watched Wen Mo slowly inserted the crowbar into the crack of the door, groping for the sealing stone. I held my breath and looked carefully, but suddenly, the stone slab under our feet sank. I had no time to react, and my heart skipped a beat, "I'm finished." But Wen Mo next to me had a flip-flop and reached out to grab my clothes and pulled it up one by one. The reaction was so fast and the agility of the movement was simply shattering!

We stood up and looked at the falling bluestone slab, but found that the slab did not completely fall, but only sank about thirty or forty centimeters. It seems that this is not a trap, but if it is not a trap, it is a mechanism. "Oh no, we triggered a mechanism!" I said, "Be careful!"

We were all focused on guard, and at the same time, we all heard a sound, a rolling sound, a not-so-sleek ball rolling on the wooden board. We hurriedly looked around, afraid that something would suddenly appear. At this moment, something suddenly fell from the top of the tomb passage. There was a dark place in the tomb passage, and the flashlight could not keep up with the speed of the thing falling. With a bang, the thing fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, and then a strange smell spread.

We called the flashlight and returned in the sound. We looked in the direction we came, but we saw a broken porcelain ball scattered on the ground, and a black liquid flowed out from it. This strange smell was emitted by these liquids.

"Cover your mouth and nose, be careful that it is poisonous!" Wen Mo reminded. Yuanxiao and I hurriedly held our breath and retreated far away.

"What's this! Poison gas bomb!"

"Did there be biological and chemical weapons in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Shut up! Listen!" Wen Mo waved his hand and reminded us that when Yuanxiao and I heard it, a rustling sound gradually approached. In the extremely quiet environment of the tomb passage, the sound was particularly obvious. "Gu Ji!" Yuanxiao and I blurted out at the same time!

"No! No!" I immediately denied this speculation, "This voice is different from the sound of Gu Ji just now. This time I was not Gu Ji!"

When Lantern Festival heard it, the sound changed, "What would that be!"
Chapter completed!
