Chapter 196: Zeng Hou Yi

As the tomb of the Warring States Period, the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng has made rich achievements in archaeological discoveries and unearthed cultural relics, which has attracted the attention of the cultural relics circles in the country and even the world. If something goes wrong here, it's not a small problem.

To be able to participate in today's survey operations is naturally the best in the industry.

In fact, Liu Yang, Zeng Qing and others were all transferred directly from Beijing this time.

When he said this, it was considered to give everyone a breath in advance, Yang Qiao and Hu Tu nodded, naturally they had no opinion.

Since the people from the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau have shown sincerity in cooperating, it is naturally the best, and there is no need to have all kinds of differences due to suspicion and distrust as they did last time at Chen Youliang's tomb.

After a brief communication, Liu Yang called Xiao Di over, and as a person from the archaeological department, he wanted to enter the underground palace to check together.

The Cultural Relics Protection Bureau left Wang Shi at the entrance to watch, and the other people took out the prepared equipment and put it on for Yang Qiao and them, and then walked together in front of the sled stone slab and walked down the damp pit mouth of one square meter.

This time, the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau is very well prepared, and Yang Qiao and the others now have a strong light mobile phone, oxygen measuring equipment, oxygen supply equipment, special spike shoes, safety helmets, all available.

Liu Yang and Zeng Qing also brought electric batons, tranquilizer guns, daggers and other self-defense items.

Yang Qiao found that in addition to these visible ones, each of them also carried a mountaineering bag, and he didn't know what was hidden in it.

He didn't ask much about this, as soon as he walked into the pit, all of Yang Qiao's spirit fell on the observation of the underground palace.

According to previous experience, these ancients have reached the extreme protection of their tombs, in order to prevent the tomb from being robbed, all kinds of traps emerge in an endless stream, and if you are not careful, you may be explained below.

The others also knew very well in their hearts that no one spoke after going down to the underground palace, and the atmosphere was dull and solemn.

After going diagonally down for about ten meters, Ma Xiaoling suddenly pulled the corner of Yang Qiao's clothes, Yang Qiao glanced back at her, only to see Ma Xiaoling's strange expression, and his eyes hinted at him.

Yang Qiao was stunned for a moment, frowned and listened carefully......

It's windy!

The corridor of this underground palace actually came with a feeling of cool breeze.

Of course, this is a very abnormal thing, because the general underground palace is buried deep in the ground for thousands of years, not to mention fresh air, it is not bad if it does not carry poisonous gases. It is impossible for the air to circulate here, so there is naturally no wind formed by air convection.

But the current situation ...... It's a bit out of the ordinary.

Woohoo~

Liu Yang, who was walking in front, paused slightly, and his face changed slightly.

Not only him, but Yang Qiao and the others who followed him also heard it, it was indeed like the roar of some kind of monster.

Now everyone is in the underground palace corridor of the tomb, the surroundings are gloomy, only a little light from the lighting lights illuminates the road ahead, but more places are still immersed in shadows, full of unknown dangers.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a roar from the depths of the dungeon, which made everyone's back hairs stand upside down.

Xiao Di's legs were even weaker, and he almost fell.

"Be careful!"

Zeng Qing of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau stretched out his hand to help him.

The others listened carefully, but they didn't hear any movement, and in the corridor, there were only bursts of violent heartbeats.

"Just now...... Is it an illusion?" Yan Yan hugged the little bear schoolbag and asked Hu Tu weakly.

He is the youngest, and although he usually has a dull personality, he can't help but be a little scared in this environment.

"It shouldn't be a hallucination, I heard it, if it was a hallucination, everyone wouldn't hear it. Ma Xiaoling said slowly and calmly.

Yang Qiao glanced ahead, and Master Lu Weijiu was standing at the front of the line, his face was strange, and he stretched out his hand to point forward.

What is it that makes the Master interested?

Yang Qiao thought secretly in his heart, and said, "Since you have come in, there is nothing to be afraid of, let's continue to move forward." ”

Liu Yang nodded, raised the light in his hand a little higher so that it could shine farther away, and then continued to explore the path ahead.

Yang Qiao noticed the situation around the corridor and noticed that the walls here were between rock and clay, revealing red and yellow colors. Strangely to him, the walls were damp and moss-thick.

The ancients had strict requirements for burial chambers, and dryness was the most basic requirement. Only drying can be embalmed, what is going on with this tomb?

Judging from its scale and burial goods, it shouldn't be handled so roughly?

Yang Qiao secretly wondered in his heart, and he found that the air here was not as dull and unpleasant as ordinary tombs, and there was no ** smell, except for being a little damp, it actually felt very "fresh".

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon!

Yang Qiao suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Ma Xiaoling and them slowly forward.

After moving forward for about 50 meters, it is estimated that it has reached a deep place underground, and a stone gate suddenly appeared in front of it.

This is a stone gate carved from heavy granite, which looks to weigh at least hundreds of catties. When I came in just now, I saw that there were no such granite mountains nearby, and I really don't know how the ancients did it.

The road ahead was blocked, Liu Yang, Zeng Qing and Xiao Di stopped to discuss in a whisper.

Ma Xiaoling, Hu Tu, and Yan Yan also went up to see if there were any mechanisms that could open the stone gate.

No one has come down here since the skidding opened the slate and found something unusual, so no one knew that there would be a stone door here. If you can't open it, you'll have to go back to the ground and find another way.

Yang Qiao had doubts in his heart and approached to observe.

He found that the stone door was full of mottled traces of time, as well as moss and some marks of slashing with a blunt object, which shrouded the stone door in front of him in a layer of fog.

If it was the stone gate that Zeng Hou Yi used to guard the tomb, there should not be these injuries on it.

"Let me take a look. ”

Yang Qiao took the initiative to step forward, and the others looked at him and took the initiative to get out of the way and let him come over.

In the place where no one saw it, Lu Weijiu was already standing in front of the door, and the ethereal fingers that seemed not to belong to this world touched the stone door, with a complicated expression on his face.

His fingers naturally couldn't touch the real thing in Shimen, but it didn't prevent him from feeling something in this way.

Yang Qiao was stared at by everyone, and it was difficult to ask Lu Weijiu. With his understanding of the master, he faintly felt that this stone door seemed to be extremely unusual in the eyes of the master.

What's the secret of this scarred stone door?

Yang Qiao learned from Lu Weijiu's appearance, slowly, stretched out his finger towards the stone door, and the moment his finger touched the door, the pupils of Yang Qiao's eyes suddenly contracted.

This is......

……

In the capital, the office of the director of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau was hurriedly knocked open.

A young woman with glasses, dressed in a smart professional suit and carrying a document in her arms, walked in with light steps.

"Director, just sent a message from Suizhou, they have already entered the underground palace. ”

"Oh, got it. ”

The old man sitting behind the desk sat up slightly straighter, stopped the pen in his hand and nodded slightly.

The young woman approached, put the document in her hand on the table, hesitated, and said, "Director, this time only let Liu Yang and the three of them plus those children, is there something lacking in preparation?"

In fact, what she really wanted to ask was whether it would be too hasty to leave this matter to those few people.

You must know that the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau is a gathering of the best cultural relics talents in China, the top research and protection institutions, and it can be said that in terms of survey, it is more professional than archaeological units.

It's just that because everyone focuses on different directions, the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau has not been well known to ordinary people.

As she knows, at least half of the top 10 Feng Shui masters in the country have temporary positions in the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, and these masters will contribute all their strength to the country as long as the country needs it.

When an important excavation project like the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng encountered problems, it was too hasty to just send those few people.

As the director of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, the old man in the seat had extraordinary acuity, he tapped a finger lightly on the table, and said slowly: "I know that many of you don't understand, but I have my own opinions on this matter. ”

"Yes!" Hearing the director's majestic words, the young woman pursed her lips and walked out without saying a word.

"Young people are still a little impetuous, some things, some secrets, how can it be so simple. ”

The gray-haired director looked at her back, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

……

In front of the stone door of the tomb, Yang Qiao was frozen as if he had been pointed.

A subtle sensation spread through his fingertips to his body, and at this moment, countless messages appeared in his mind, which shocked him incomparably.

"What's wrong with Yang Qiao?"

Feeling that something was wrong with him, Ma Xiaoling and Liu Yang asked.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Yang Qiao's face was a little ugly, he let go of his hand, paused for a moment, and said under the inquiring gaze of everyone: "Someone has come in here." ”

"Who is it?"

"Grave robbers?"

Hearing Yang Qiao's words, Liu Yang and Zeng Qing were a little anxious, if someone really came in, and it was a tomb robber, would the things in this underground palace ......

A trace of disbelief flashed in the eyes of Ma Xiaoling, who was familiar with Yang Qiao, and she felt that Yang Qiao seemed to have something to hide from everyone.

"I don't know, it should be in the last few years. Oh, by the way, I've found the mechanism of this stone gate. ”

Yang Qiao took a deep breath, reached out, and pressed down on a secret place on the stone wall on the right side of the stone gate.

Click~

A tooth-aching, rusty sound of gear turning. Then, the stone gate in front of him moved slowly.

No one noticed that as the stone gate opened, a faint, cloud-like mist quietly spread out from inside the stone gate.

Yang Qiao, Ma Xiaoling, Liu Yang, Hu Tu and others' eyes widened as the stone door opened, and at this moment, their breathing stopped, and cold sweat rolled down their backs.

What is it?!

How so!

The goose-yellow smoke clouds drift behind the stone gate, like a dream, like a fairyland on earth.

Behind the hazy smoke, two figures could be seen.

Seeing this scene, from Yang Qiao to Ma Xiaoling, to Xiao Di, Yan Yan, Hu Tu, Liu Yang, Zeng Qing and others couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and a thought came to their hearts at the same time: Could it be that there are still people under this ancient cemetery palace?

Could it be that someone has advanced to the underground palace before us?

Looking closely, the two figures were still swaying slightly, as if they were moving from the smoke.

The faint yellow smoke drifted away, like a child's naughty little hands, spreading out of the stone gate little by little.

At this moment, everyone was stunned on the spot as if they had been pointed.

Untilβ€”

Laugh at!

With a soft sound, the yellow smoke came into contact with the moisture outside the stone gate, as if there was some kind of wonderful chemical reaction, from goose yellow to light green, and the process was very dreamy.

But this time Yang Qiao almost jumped up, and heard the teacher Lu Weijiu shouting in an anxious and stern tone that he had never felt before: "Retreat!"

At the same time, Liu Yang and Zeng Qing's faces also changed drastically, and they shouted: "It's poisonous gas! Everyone retreat!"

Everyone reacted in an instant, and retreated with all their might, but fortunately the smoke did not drift away too quickly.

Liu Yang shouted as he retreated: "Quickly put on the oxygen mask!"

When they came in, they were already fully equipped, and when they heard Liu Yang's words, they hurriedly pulled down the oxygen masks on their hard hats one by one. This is a special equipment made by the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, and the oxygen cylinder is only the size of two mobile phones, so the oxygen provided is only enough to last for 40 minutes, but it is enough to save lives in the current environment.

The poisonous gas, which turned from yellow to green, drifted faster and faster, and dispersed to surround everyone, but fortunately, everyone was already wearing oxygen masks and would not inhale the poisonous gas.

Everyone watched as the fog enveloped them, and one moment it looked like a very romantic and dreamy smoke, but this moment it was a deadly devil.

Everyone subconsciously hugged together, watching the fog get thicker and thicker, and then drifting away little by little, and finally dissipating, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Qiao glanced at the air monitoring equipment he brought with him, which was about the same size as a thermometer, and the red color on it gradually turned from highly toxic to light blue, which meant that there was no problem with the air.

Everyone was distracted by the situation behind the stone gate just now, and if you pay attention to the air monitor, you should be able to detect the danger early.

Liu Yang stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to take off the oxygen mask, he was already sweating profusely.

Mostly nervous.

Look at everyone, from Yang Qiao to Ma Xiaoling and Hu Tu, they are all in a cold sweat.

"It was chlorine. Liu Yang smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise it would have been miserable this time." ”

Yan Yan, who had not spoken much, said: "Chlorine is a poisonous gas with a strong pungent odor, the density is slightly greater than that of air, and when it encounters copper, it will produce a chemical reaction to produce copper chloride and emit yellow smoke, and when it encounters water, it will produce chloric acid, which turns green in color. This poisonous gas mainly invades the human body through the respiratory tract, causing damage to the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, causing difficulty breathing, and can seriously cause death. ”

Liu Yang glanced at Yan Yan, the youngest, nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"I scared my brother to death just now!" Hu Tu patted his chest in some shock, and then went up to put his arm on Yan Yan's thin shoulder and said: "I know that you are good at mathematics and chemistry, don't sell your knowledge, follow tightly, be smart." ”

Yang Qiao glanced at the fat man, among the four people, he had the best relationship with Ma Xiaoling, and he also had a good relationship with the fat man, but Yan Yan was a little autistic and didn't communicate much. But looking at it now, Yan Yan should still have many abilities that he doesn't know, no wonder the fat man likes to take him with him every time.

There was still a faint pungent sour smell in the air, Yang Qiao never expected that there would be such poisonous smoke in the ancient tombs of the Warring States Period.

He looked up at his teacher, Lu Weijiu, and found that his master's brows were slightly furrowed, looking at the environment behind the stone gate, as if he was thinking about something.

"Can we move on now?" Yang Qiao asked.

He secretly blamed himself in his heart that he was not vigilant before, and had quietly opened the Heavenly Eye to observe the flow of Feng Shui Yuan Qi in this underground palace, but what made Yang Qiao strange was that the flow of Yuan Qi here was relatively chaotic, and there seemed to be no obvious pattern.

Liu Yang took the initiative to come over and pat him on the shoulder: "Yang Qiao, you go ahead with me, and the others follow us." ”

It turned out that he saw Yang Qiao just now and seemed to be a little good at finding the mechanism of the underground palace, and no one found out where the mechanism was in the stone gate just now, but Yang Qiao was the first to find it.

Yang Qiao nodded, and the two walked towards the stone gate almost side by side.

Back to the place just now, because there is no smoke obstruction, you can clearly see the situation inside.

The first thing that came into view were two standing figures, the two figures that had just been seen in the mist.

Liu Yang moved half a step faster than Yang Qiao, walked up, frowned, and said, "It's already dead." ”

The others followed Yang Qiao and walked up slowly, and saw that the costumes of these two people looked like ancient costumes, but because the time was relatively old, they were all decayed, so they couldn't tell the specific age.

The corpse on the left, thin as a monkey, was hunched on its back, and carried a bundle of hemp rope at the end of the rope with an iron hook resembling a flying tiger's claw.

A dry corpse on the right was slightly stout, with a wooden artifact on its back, Yang Qiao took a closer look and found that it was a folding wooden ladder.

Seeing this, his heart was clear, these two people must be tomb robbers.

In addition to the hard laborers who excavate the tomb, the burial personnel, and the owner of the tomb, only the tomb robbers will appear. What's more, the equipment on their bodies has clearly proved this.

When Hu Tu walked up, his nose suddenly felt a little itchy, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

"Ahh

The fat man's sneezing was earth-shattering, and there was an echo effect in the burial chamber. The next moment, only a "poof" sound was heard, and the rope on the dried corpse on the left suddenly broke, and the iron claws fell to the ground, making a metal impact sound of "bang".

The folding ladder behind the dried corpse on the right also shattered into pieces and fell in an instant.

Hu Tu was dumbfounded for a moment, and stammered: "I...... I didn't mean to. ”

"Leave this grave robber alone, keep an eye on your surroundings and see if you find anything. ”

Yang Qiao reminded him.

Others like Liu Yang were already wearing gloves to inspect the burial goods in this tomb, and Xiao Di was even more close to the ground to observe inch by inch, looking serious and focused.

Ma Xiaoling took Yan Yan and walked slowly along the wall line of the tomb.

The wall of the tomb here is painted with murals from ancient servants in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the texture is very special, similar to totems.

Some of them are faintly colored, as if they are painting ink paintings with an abstract art technique.

The surrounding walls are the most typical red sandstone of the nearby landform, with a vermilion color as the background color, which adds a bit of solemnity to the ancient paintings on the wall.

Yang Qiao took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, quietly walked away, and said to Lu Weijiu, who was standing there looking at the murals on the wall and was deep in thought: "Teacher, isn't the ancient tomb here a little strange?"

"What do you see?" Lu Weijiu retracted his gaze and turned back to Yang Qiao to ask.

"I remember reading a book about the tomb style of various dynasties before, which once said that the tomb type of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in addition to the Feng Shui Bureau, the traps were mostly based on flaps, broken dragon stones, stone sealing slabs, and crossbow arrows. That is to say......"

In other words, the poison gas that should not have been here appeared.

This is a place of serious discord, which makes Yang Qiao feel extremely frightened.

If the poisonous fog didn't exist in the tomb, then who designed it, for whom, and for what purpose?

Now all this is shrouded in fog in Yang Qiao's mind, and he can't figure out the direction.

Hearing Yang Qiao's question, Lu Weijiu nodded slightly: "You have observed carefully, there is indeed something strange here." ”

"Teacher, have you found anything?" Yang Qiao asked anxiously. Although he is very happy to be recognized by his teacher, he now wants to get Lu Weijiu's guidance to help him find a way to break the situation in this strange and unknown Warring States Tomb.

Lu Weijiu shook his head slightly, and replied in a word that Yang Qiao almost fainted: "No." ”

This is an Internet buzzword that I have said recently, but let the teacher learn it.

Yang Qiao was a little speechless.

However, Lu Weijiu still mentioned him: "The feng shui of the tombs here, you have to infer from the age and region." ”

If others hear Lu Weijiu's words, I'm afraid they will be confused and confused. But Yang Qiao was stunned for a moment and faintly grabbed something.

The ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period must have been very different from those of later generations.

I use the experience of modern people to find the vitality, and naturally I can't figure out the east, east, west, and north, so think about it...... What are the characteristics of Feng Shui during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and ...... region, which belonged to the Chu State during the Warring States Period, and the tomb form of the Chu State was ......

Yang Qiao's mind instantly seemed to have a flash of lightning.

He understood.

During the Warring States Period, the tombs of Chu used Xuanniao and stars as references, and the layout should be considered from the stars, rather than the five elements of yin and yang and Tai Chi gossip that are popular today.

Just when Yang Qiao made up his mind and was about to refer to the astrological signs to see Zeng Hou Yi's underground palace, he suddenly heard a scream from Xiao Di in the other corner of the tomb.

There was a bit of sadness and a bit of fear in this voice, which instantly made Yang Qiao feel agitated and turned his head to look.

The scene behind him made his scalp explode.
