Chapter 160: Tomb Complex

Luo Fan and the others are now standing outside the tall wall, and the city wall is about five meters long, and the bricks of the city wall are tightly jointed, and the mud of the same color is used in the middle, and it is impossible to climb up with the wall tiles.

"I'll try it!" Wu Yongqiang said, taking out a plastic copper from the backpack behind him, after he opened it, he poured out a metal pipe from it, and then he didn't know where he pressed it, and one end of the metal pipe actually stretched out again, and after half a palm length, it made a "click" sound, and it opened into three barbs.

"Grappling hook!?" Jiang Weichen said in surprise.

"It's all the equipment we always have, and we didn't expect to use it. Wu Yongqiang said, then tied the rope and the grappling hook on his body together, let one of them wheel in his hand, and threw it upwards with all his might.

The grappling hook was thrown into the wall, and he pulled it back, just as it snapped into a corner of the wall at the top.

He tugged twice, "Alright, up!" he said back to one of his men.

I saw that the little soldier didn't say a word, went up and took the rope and pulled it twice, and then kicked the wall with both feet, and climbed up quickly, very fast.

"Wow!" Hao Wenjie let out an admiring voice, "When is this training program available?"

"After you're gone!" Wu Yongqiang raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.

Luo Fan also looked at the novelty, and looked up with the others.

After the little warrior climbed up, he beckoned to the people below.

"Okay, who's the second?" Wu Yongqiang asked.

"I'm coming!" Jiang Weichen was curious, grabbed the rope and smiled back, and climbed up like a little soldier.

The rope is not thick, but it is the thickness of the thumb, and it is very panicked to grasp it in the hand, and the foot kicks the wall all by the strength of the arms.

But Jiang Weichen didn't seem to pause, and he quickly climbed up, but he seemed to be tired, panting and swallowing saliva and waving to the people below, he sat aside to rest.

"I'll go up first, and then pull it with a rope, so I can save some energy!" Wu Yongqiang said.

Naturally, no one else objected, watching Wu Yongqiang skillfully climb up and throw down a rope from it.

Hao Wenjie and Yuan Lang went up first, followed by Professor Ma, there were people above and below, and it didn't take much effort to pull people up.

In the end, only Jolene and Lofan remained.

"You go up first!" said Rovan, helping Jolene tie the rope around her waist.

Jolene looked down at Luo Fan busy working, and when Luo Fan was tied up and raised her head, she looked away again.

Fat Dahai was waving his hand and talking: "Captain Qiao, don't worry, there will be no problem for me to pull on it!"

Qiao Lin smiled, grabbed the rope and climbed up, Luo Fan stood in place and watched, after watching Qiao Lin be pulled up by them, he reached out and grabbed the rope of the grappling hook, kicked it under his feet, and went up directly with only a few strokes, startling Hao Wenjie, who untied the rope on Qiao Lin's waist and was about to throw it down.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Luo Fan jumping in from outside the wall.

"Luo Fan, you don't give everyone a chance!" Hao Wenjie said deliberately disgustedly.

"Haha......" Wu Yongqiang smiled, "Captain Hao, it's not okay if you're not convinced!

Everyone laughed a few words, and packed up their things before they had time to look inside.

As a result, the scene behind the walls was completely different from what they had imagined.

When they were outside, they thought that such a magnificent external building would definitely be more magnificent and shocking inside, even if it was not as good as the Forbidden City of Huaguo outside, at least there would be a palace-like existence.

As a result, what they saw was a deep stream, with a knife-like mountain stream standing quietly in front of them, and a narrow passage in the middle winding inward.

What's going on?

No one said it clearly.

Hao Wenjie walked over a little, took a flashlight to the passage in the middle of the mountain stream, and just wanted to turn back to speak, but suddenly turned back again, and the flashlight shone inside.

Everywhere the light reaches, the corner of the mountain stream, it seems to reveal the shape of a cornice, and it also exudes a faint luster.

"What's that?" Hao Wenjie asked in a loud voice.

Everyone took a few steps forward, stood beside Hao Wenjie, and looked carefully.

The light of a few flashlights, combined with the faint light of oil lamps coming from outside the city walls, makes this place look extraordinarily deep and quiet!

There is a building hidden in the mountain stream, and the group walks slowly inside, as if they have walked into a paradise, and the passage has changed from not wide at the beginning, to a dozen people in parallel and it seems to be much wider.

More than ten meters later, there was a slight turn, and when they turned around, they finally saw the whole picture of the building with flying cornices.

Where could this be an underground mausoleum!

It's simply a place where the gods live!

An ancient and solemn archway stood quietly in front of them, with the design of octagonal cornices glazed tiles, all carved out of stone.

The tall passage below looks like a village-like layout, and stone houses of varying heights can be seen everywhere.

It's just that......

"Do you think these rooms are a little strange?" Suddenly, Jolene asked.

Everyone else felt weird.

These stone houses, although they are not next to each other, but along the trend of the mountain stream, are built everywhere, but they seem to be very small.

According to the houses where outsiders live, these stone houses are like children's houses, and this place is like a world of Lilliputia.

"This is not a house!" Professor Ma said, "These are coffins!"

"Coffins?" no one believed, because these stone houses looked no different from the outside houses from the outside, with doors and windows, and roofs, and the eaves were also in the form of cornices.

On the eaves of some stone houses, there are still animal stone carvings, and some are more simple, that is, ordinary square houses, but these are at the bottom.

The stone houses with cornices are a little higher, and the houses with birds and animals are a little higher.

"I think it's in order of status!" Professor Ma said.

This form of burial has never appeared before, and even many well-known imperial tombs will not be buried in this way.

And this place, which looks like a village, is actually a large group of tombs.

They looked inside, and there was no end in sight, showing how big it was.

"If this is the real cemetery, what about the ones outside?" Hao Wenjie asked.

"The ...... outside" Professor Ma thought for a while and glanced at Yuan Lang, they had discussed this issue together, but they both felt that it was unlikely, so they didn't continue, "It may be a suspicious grave!"

"You mean a tomb within a tomb?" asked Rovan.

"It's hard to say about the tomb in the tomb!" Professor Ma said, "Then we have to study the ancient tomb outside and whether it is from the same period as this one can be determined!"

As if teaching a student, Professor Ma briefly explained the knowledge of the tomb in the tomb again, and at this moment, even Fat Dahai understood.

"Then what are you waiting for? Then let's get a few things out and compare them with the outside, won't we?" said Fat Dahai.

Professor Ma smiled and nodded, "Well, that's right, Fat Dahai is right!"

Fat Dahai is a fast mouth, and he regretted it after speaking, Feng Bugui told him more than once, follow Mr. Luo out, watch more and talk less, but when he got here, he couldn't help but go out baldly.

But when Professor Ma praised him like this, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and then stood behind Luo Fan and refused to speak again.

Everyone was smiling, and the professor looked at it for a while, then looked back at the "coffin" stone house that could not be seen at a glance and said, "Let's take a look at the situation inside each stone house first!"

Speaking of professionalism, the others had nothing to do, only Professor Ma took Assistant Li, Jiang Weichen, and Yuan Lang to the nearest stone house on the side.

They tried to open the door of the stone house, but as soon as the door opened, several people took flashlights and shone inside, and then whispered a few exclamations, but did not go in, but squatted outside the stone house to record something.

Jiang Weichen's hands were itchy, holding the camera to find the angle, but the light was too dark, although there was the light of a flashlight, it was also a little unsatisfactory, and he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing, looking disappointed and regretful.

"Use this!" Wu Yongqiang said suddenly, asking a soldier to send them the only field searchlight with electricity.

In the blink of an eye, the inside of the stone house was brightly illuminated, Jiang Weichen smiled this time, kept changing the angle and patting, the little soldier took the opportunity to stretch out his head to take a look inside, and also exclaimed, and then turned around and ran back.

"What's inside?" asked Fat Dahai curiously, and hurriedly went over to ask.

"Dead!" said the little warrior.

Originally, it was said that these stone houses were coffins, and there were dead people in them, but the little warrior's behavior was too abnormal, which also aroused the curiosity of other people, and they couldn't help but walk over.

Luo Fan also walked over and stood at the window to look inside.

Just this glance almost made him exclaim.

In the stone house, there was a corpse lying quietly in the middle, the corpse was not rotten, the clothes were very old, and the hemp rope was tied around the waist, as if a living person was sleeping in it, and a faint smile could be seen on his face.

It was a surprise that there were clay pots and stuff around the corpse.

After that, they looked at two different stone houses in quick succession.

Sure enough, as Professor Ma guessed, the style of the stone house is divided into status hierarchies.

The higher you go, the higher your status may be, the clothes on your body have changed a little, and the furnishings in the stone house have also increased.

They also found jade artifacts on the corpses in the stone house with the cornices.

Professor Ma put on gloves, carefully took off the hosta and jade pendant on the corpse, put it in the cultural relics protection bag he carried, and packed it in a box.

Things that are underground all the year round will have a more or less sinister aura, not to mention the things on the bodies of the dead, Professor Ma and they habitually wear gloves, not because they can see it like Luo Fan, but because they have experienced more, and it is also for the protection of cultural relics.

The material and style of jade are very similar to the previous batch of Jiangcheng Museum, and they should belong to the same era.

Therefore, Professor Ma guessed: "Perhaps, the inside and outside are from the same period, but I don't know whether there was this here or the outside first, or whether it was built at the same time." ”

This point can only be concluded by slowly excavating and researching in the later stage.

Now all they have to do is to gather the information here, and then leave as soon as possible and return to the surface.

Looking at the scale of the place, Professor Ma suggested walking some distance inside, not knowing what it would look like further inside.

So, after resting and eating, the group went on the road again.

They followed the middle road all the way, and after a long walk, they finally began to fork in the road.

Luo Fan pinched his fingers and calculated, and suddenly frowned: "This is just the periphery?"

"What do you say?" Professor Ma quickly asked.

Luo Fan said, "According to the distance from the gate to here, I pinched the center point of the gossip direction, and found that this place is still in the outer position, and the center point is still further inside, over there!" Luo Fan said, pointing to a fork in the road diagonally ahead.

Everyone looked at each other, such a large tomb group turned out to be the periphery, so what would be there at the center point?
