Chapter 735: Wordless Tablet
I crouched in front of the slab and noticed a slit on the edge of the slab with a white substance in it.
I pulled the dagger out of my backpack and scraped it, and the white stuff was scraped like plasticine, and then it was still wet.
I took the dagger and sniffed it under my nose, it was colorless and odorless, it seemed to be the same white plaster clay I had seen in ancient tombs before.
If this is the case, then the white plaster is used to seal the hole and seal the hole.
If this is the case, then there is a sealed chamber below, and perhaps there is no air underneath, so it seems that the possibility of an ancient tomb is also very high.
It's just that how can there be an ancient tomb under the temple?
But it may not be an ancient tomb, but a rumored cave of a witch.
Recall the screws under the Buddha statue just now, this must have been artificially reinforced by modern people, and if it was reinforced by modern people, then this entrance must have been known for a long time.
It is very likely that this group of people is the lama gate of Xiaozhao Temple.
So since there is this entrance, did they go down? What is down there, do they know?
I thought about it, and finally came to visit, this Xiaozhao Temple is only three kilometers away from the Potala Palace.
There is such an existence as a snow ape at the bottom of the Potala Palace, so is there such an existence at the bottom of this Xiaozhao Temple?
My heart is crossed, this Nima is waiting here for a day, I might as well go down and take a look, the addiction to the tomb has come up again, not in vain.
I took the dagger and scraped all the white plaster around me, and a gap of about two or three millimeters appeared in the middle of the slate, just big enough for the dagger to be inserted.
After the dagger entered, I gently pried it, and the whole slate was pried up, and under the slate was a layer of sealing soil, which contained fine sand and black charcoal, all of which were ground into granules and covered with it.
I swept away the fine sand and charcoal with my hands, and the green bricks appeared underneath, and I gasped.
There is a three-layer of soil between the green bricks and the green bricks, so I took the dagger and dug up the hard soil layer little by little, and the dagger chiseled down, Saturn splashed, and then with a snort, it was dug through.
As soon as I pulled out the dagger and hissed with a hissing sound, I was taken aback and took a step back.
I stared intently at the gap, carefully identified and listened, and was momentarily stunned.
It's over, it's a disaster.
I gasped, there was a completely closed vacuum environment below, and at this moment I had chiseled such a hole, and there was already air in it, and if there were dark weapons in it, especially those silks, calligraphy and paintings, I was afraid that they had been oxidized.
However, this is a Tibetan area, and there should be few possibilities for calligraphy and painting, and there are not many possibilities for silk, but it is more likely that animal fur or the cotton and linen clothes worn by lamas are more likely.
I can't care so much now, so I dug out the green bricks that sealed the entrance one by one, and finally exposed the entire entrance.
The size of the entire entrance is not large, nor is it very small, and the length and width should be one and a half meters.
After the green bricks are taken out, the steps on the side go down, and the steps are also paved with green bricks.
I closed my eyes and sensed the outside, it seemed that all day today, those lamas would not come to disturb me, I could take the opportunity to go down and have a look.
At this moment, the oxygen below is definitely not enough, but I am relieved to have peach blossom holy water in my body to purify.
I smoked two cigarettes, ventilated for fifteen minutes, and was ready to go down.
I turned on the flashlight and walked down cautiously, the steps were about less than thirty steps, and the depth down was less than five meters, which was really shallow.
After the end, I took a flashlight and shone it, and the whole person was confused.
It's a basement of less than 100 square meters, and the walls around it are full of murals, but what stunned me was that I could understand the contents of these murals.
There are actually Chinese characters written on it, although it is in traditional Chinese characters.
It's just that these were originally colored paint paintings, and at the moment these colored paints are oxidizing and changing little by little, and there is an inexplicable heartache in my heart.
It's over, it's really over.
A huge reason why the country did not dare to excavate the tomb of Qin Shi Huang is because, when the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang were discovered, experts entered the terracotta warriors and horses pit and found that the terracotta warriors and horses that had just been unearthed were colorful, not only brightly dressed and distinctly colored, but even the facial expressions were rich, and the skin color was very close to that of people, and even the eyebrows and eyelashes, and the black eyes in the eyes were drawn, anyway, it was very realistic.
But in just fifteen seconds, the painted paint on the terracotta warriors and horses instantly oxidized and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into dirt and dust.
That's why the terracotta warriors and horses on display are all gray and earthy.
If the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is hastily excavated, it will be a catastrophic damage to this world miracle, and it will be impossible to save, just like these murals in front of me.
It's over, it's completely over, and my heart is bleeding again.
Many tomb robbers are like me, watching these murals destroyed and distressed, but helpless, because these things can't be taken away, just sealed in dust for hundreds of thousands of years, but now because they open the tomb and destroy it, that kind of distress is very uncomfortable.
I took a deep breath and stopped looking at the murals, and waited until it was completely oxidized, although the colors were oxidized and faded, but the fonts and shapes of the characters carved in the stone would not be damaged.
There were a lot of pots around the secret room, and I walked to the nearest side, and when I looked down, there was still unburned wood, and most of the charcoal burned.
This is a great means of preventing theft, before sealing the hole, the wood in these pots is first ignited, and then the hole is sealed, so that the wood will burn the oxygen in the secret room and be in a vacuum.
In addition, when the wood is burned completely, carbon dioxide is released, and when the wood is not fully burned and the oxygen is insufficient, that is, the wood is extinguished due to lack of oxygen, but there are still sparks, and those that slowly float out are carbon monoxide.
This carbon oxide is highly toxic, and it is based on this principle that charcoal burning is used to commit suicide.
Once a grave robber comes in and stays here for too long, one is because of lack of oxygen, and the other is because of carbon monoxide poisoning, most of them will be planted here.
I took my flashlight and shone it into the innermost part of the chamber, and there was a sarcophagus inside.
I looked at the sarcophagus in amazement, there was a turtle dragging a stone tablet in front of the sarcophagus, yes, isn't this the same as the one we found in Shangwu Village?
It's just that this turtle is carved in stone, and it should be called a stump.
When I got closer, there wasn't a word on the stele.
"Wordless Monument?" I was dumbfounded, how could there be such a wordless monument here?
