Chapter 156: The Emperor's Mausoleum
After Luo Fan and the others dived, they were almost rested.
He didn't think too much about the matter between himself and Jolene, and he didn't want to think too much about it, he just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible so that he could get out of here as soon as possible.
Everyone was full of food and drink, and although the clothes on their bodies were still damp, they finally stopped dripping.
There was no change of clothes here, so I had to continue to wear them, and finally dry them with body temperature.
Just as they stood up and were about to continue, there was a sudden shock under their feet, and it seemed that the distance was not far away, and Professor Ma was unsteady and fell to the ground.
"Professor Ma!" Assistant Li hurriedly went over to help him.
"It doesn't matter!" Professor Ma said quickly.
"What's going on?" Jiang Weichen asked.
"Is there an earthquake?" asked Yuan Lang as well.
"No!" Wu Yongqiang said, "someone should have used explosives." ”
"It must be the Liuzhang gang!" said Jolene.
Luo Fan looked around, "It's not far from here, we're going to hurry!"
Everyone knows that tomb robbers don't think of protection or anything like that, they only know how to destroy to achieve their own ends.
After Luo Fan found the right direction, he led the people to drill through the low rocks and into another space.
When he got here, Luo Fan's eyes lit up, and it was the same place where he had walked from another way.
"It's here!" he said a little excitedly, "keep up!"
After speaking, he had already moved forward very quickly, and the people behind him followed closely, and even started to trot, even Professor Ma was not far behind, and was trotted forward by Hao Wenjie and Assistant Li.
Luo Fan stopped at the mouth of a cave, turned his head to look at the people behind him and smiled, "Are you ready?"
After saying that, he flashed in, and the people behind him quickly followed.
Everyone went in, standing on top of a high cliff, staring at the huge space in front of them in a daze.
The last time Luo Fan came, he found that even if there was no lighting here, there would be a faint fluorescence, and the huge night pearl on the tall tower in the distance was like the moonlight in the middle of the night.
"Turn off the lights!" he shouted, Wu Yongqiang hurriedly gestured, everyone put away their flashlights, and after that, they looked at the scene in front of them even more stunned.
The huge complex of buildings like the palaces of ancient emperors, exuding a strong sense of heaviness, spreads out in front of everyone, silently telling that there is a noble figure living here.
"This is ......" Professor Ma squeezed to the front, holding his glasses and looking excited, "This is the Imperial Mausoleum!"
The so-called imperial mausoleum city, that is, an emperor in ancient times, built his mausoleum according to the scale of the city.
The Mausoleum of King Qin of Huaguo is said to have a city inside, which is similar to a small city in reality.
Crossing the stone bridge over the moat and entering the city through the city wall, you can see at a glance the buildings connected by iron chains in the middle, the eaves and beasts, and the blue tile window lattices, just like a miniature palace, which makes people look in awe.
Qiao Lin had been to the Forbidden City, and although she was surprised to see such a picture underground, she was not as excited as Professor Ma.
She looked back and forth, and the cliff stretched out from their feet along the mountain in both directions, drowning in the darkness in the distance, and diagonally across the man-made staircase leading to the bottom.
She pulled Jiang Weichen beside her, "Brother Chen, look over there!" she pointed to that place and said.
Jiang Weichen looked at her hand, and he was happy, "Professor, look over there!"
Everyone followed Jiang Weichen's line of sight.
"Let's go, go over!" At this time, Professor Ma was more active than anyone else, and he and Assistant Li walked quickly to the front.
Luo Fan looked down from here, although he didn't see anything, but he always felt that this place was not such a simple existence, and there must be unknown dangers, just like the creatures or mechanisms like the sea of worms in the altar before.
He wasn't in a hurry, he just told Wu Yongqiang and them, "You must be careful when you go down later, the closer you get to the main tomb, the more dangerous it is." ”
Wu Yongqiang nodded, turned around and instructed the people he had brought, and talked to Hao Wenjie and Qiao Lin before he hurried forward.
They had to protect Professor Ma and not let him break in without caring about anything.
They went around the steps and went down to the bottom, where the soil was tamped underfoot, and not far in front of them was an underground river that surrounded the mausoleum, and three stone bridges led to it.
"Professor Ma, wait a minute!" Wu Yongqiang and the others caught up, "Be careful!"
Professor Ma nodded, looking at the front with enthusiastic eyes, but did not continue to move forward, but stood in place and observed carefully, and kept talking to Assistant Li.
"Xiao Li, have you seen it? These totem pillars, carved on them must be their beliefs at that time, as well as the animals squatting on them, although it is not clear what they are from a distance, but they must be related to the animals they identified as divine beasts at that time, and you must record them carefully for a while. ”
Assistant Li nodded in agreement, and kept recording it in his notebook.
Jiang Weichen took a few photos with his camera, and Yuan Lang, like Assistant Li, kept recording.
Luo Fan walked over, "Let's rest here first, I'll go up and have a look first!"
"Be careful!" said Jolene.
Luo Fan smiled back at her. said to Jiang Weichen: "I'll leave it to you!"
Jiang Weichen was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, go and come back quickly, I can't wait to go over and see it in person." ”
Luo Fan stepped onto the stone bridge, stretched out his head to look into the underground river, and then walked down from the other end to the square in the middle.
He walked back and forth for a while, looked around one totem pillar after another, scratched his head, and didn't find any formations, so he beckoned to them, "Everyone come here!"
Luo Fan's words were not intended to be surprised, Professor Ma laughed happily, and walked up to the square of the mausoleum city with everyone through the stone bridge.
Professor Ma was even more excited when he saw the totem on the pillar, "Come and see, this is the image of an early dragon, look at it, this is simply ...... It's just a great discovery. ”
After speaking, he followed the trend of the dragon pillar again, and a dragon head was poking down from above to look at him, and the creature on the pillar turned out to be a dragon.
"Professor, it's a dragon!" Assistant Li was also excited.
"This must be the Emperor's Mausoleum, but I don't know which emperor is our ancient one!" Professor Ma's voice was trembling.
Yuan Lang, like Assistant Li, followed closely behind Professor Ma, watching and recording, and Jiang Weichen kept taking pictures with his camera.
When they go out, what they record becomes a sensational piece of research.
Wu Yongqiang and Hao Wenjie are not keen on historical research, they just walk around to see the excitement and freshness.
The pony followed Jolene and looked around, and suddenly felt a flower in front of him, as if something had floated past him, and he suddenly turned around, "Who?"
This voice alarmed everyone, and they all stood there and looked at the pony.
The pony looked back and forth, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, maybe I'm wrong." ”
Luo Fan was careless, walked over and asked, "What do you see?"
The pony was even more embarrassed, smiled and scratched his head, and said, "I just felt that my eyes were slight, as if something had floated past, I should have seen it wrong, there was nothing." ”
Rofan glanced at the place where the pony had spoken, where the bronze tripod in front of the palace-like building in the middle was located.
He and the pony nodded and walked towards the middle, but in the middle of the distance, the stone bricks on the ground were of a completely different style and specification than those in the plaza outside, and the area was much smaller.
The outside is a large stone slab, and here, there is a circle of one-foot square floor tiles with a width of about five meters.
The palace in the middle is in this circle of floor tiles.
And in this circle of floor tiles, there is a shallow ditch next to each other, I don't know when it was already full of liquid, the liquid was shiny, Luo Fan's pupils shrank, and he immediately turned around and ran back, "Get out of here, get out of here!"
He shouted, his anxious expression gave him no time to explain, and Professor Ma seemed to be still immersed in the joy of research, looking at Luo Fan in a daze.
Luo Fan was in a hurry, shouting, while grabbing Professor Ma and running out, "Hurry up and leave, it's poisonous!"
Everyone came back to their senses at this time, and couldn't help but look back.
I saw that the shallow pit in the middle had begun to spread a faint white mist, constantly spreading outward, and seeing that it was about to reach them, I suddenly woke up and ran out desperately.
The white fog is getting thicker and thicker, the ground is completely covered, and there is a tendency to rise.
Everyone ran across the stone bridge, and when they saw that the white mist was about to spread to the underground river, they hurried to the top of the steps.
Walking at the back was Hao Wenjie, who sent everyone up the steps, and by the time he stepped on the steps, the white mist had reached his feet, and his police boots sizzled, but it didn't affect his speed.
By the time they got to the cliff, everyone was out of breath.
If it weren't for Luo Fan's quick reaction, they would have died.
"!" Hao Wenjie, who was sitting on the side, suddenly scolded, quickly took off his boots with both hands and threw them aside.
As soon as everyone looked, the soles of his boots were gone, and they had become bottomless boots.
"What the fuck is this?" Hao Wenjie scolded again, rubbed the soles of his feet vigorously with his hands, and then turned over to take a look, and there were two holes in the socks, "Is this the legendary corpse water?"
Everyone became solemn, looking at the white mist rolling below, which had covered the entire mausoleum city, and even the totem pillars were looming, like a fairyland.
Who would have known that a fairyland-like place would be filled with a poisonous mist like corpse water.
"Is anyone hurt?" Professor Ma asked with concern, and after getting that no one was injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that there would be such a mechanism here." ”
Although the poisonous mist did not rise to such a height as the cliff, they withdrew from here for the time being and came to a spacious place outside to rest for the sake of safety.
Hao Wenjie lost a shoe, and his walking will definitely be affected, and there are craggy gravel everywhere, and if you don't pay attention, you may get injured.
"Why don't you wear mine!" Wu Yongqiang said, and then he had to start his slippers.
"Hey, what are you doing? You dress me, what are you going to do?" Hao Wenjie hurriedly stopped.
Everyone looked at Hao Wenjie's socks with two holes in his feet, and he was worried, so it didn't work.
"There is!" Suddenly, Fat Dahai, who had been silent, spoke, and began to take off the backpack on his back, and turned out a yellow cloth from it.
This is what he often carries on his back to Luo Fan from time to time.
He folded it back and forth a few times, then looked at it, and took out a few pieces of yellow paper from his bag and put them in it, intending to let Hao Wenjie tie it to his feet for emergencies.
Everyone praised Fat Dahai for being so smart, and Fat Dahai smiled and was about to hand the yellow cloth to Hao Wenjie, but was stopped by Qiao Lin.
She was a little awkward, but she didn't have too much hypocrisy, she took out a pack of sanitary napkins directly from her bag, took out a piece and handed it to the fat sea, "Use this, it's much stronger than yours." ”
“...... Good ......" Fat Dahai is a little confused, is this okay?
"This is good!" Wu Yongqiang smiled, "Don't be surprised, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, we use this thing a lot when we are soldiers!"
"Huh?" Fat Dahai continued to be confused, isn't this for women?
Hao Wenjie also smiled, stretched out his hand and asked Fat Dahai to hand him the thing, "Don't be stunned, give it to me quickly! This thing, when I used to be a soldier training, I used to put it in my shoes as an insoles, and it has many benefits! I am not afraid of any blisters on my feet, and I am not afraid of grinding blood! But it is easy to use!"
Hao Wenjie finished speaking, wrapped his feet, stood up and walked back and forth for two steps, and laughed, "Okay!"
