Probably because of the long history of this ancient tomb, the wood in the tunnel has rotted, and many places have become very fragile. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the people who dig the cave are very cautious, it is still inevitable that the cave will collapse, in the middle of this cave, because of the sound vibration, several rotten wood suddenly broke, and the wooden frame on the wall of the entire cave could not be supported, so it caused all the soil and stones above to collapse, and the hole was blocked from the middle.

Look inside, to the end of the road is four flaps, such a thing is a mechanism at a glance, under each flap is a sinkhole, such a mechanism layout is very common, in many ancient tombs, generally under the sinkhole will be buried poison or inverted sharp swords, some will also have arrow rain mechanism.

However, Huo Sining was surprised that the last sinkhole did not seem to be like the previous three sinkholes, this sinkhole was about three meters wide, like a ravine extending all the way to both sides of the ancient tomb, and there seemed to be a silver-white liquid flowing inside.

Huo Sining's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and a light flashed in his mind, and he was immediately shocked. That silvery-white liquid is nothing else, it's mercury!

According to the "Records of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty", the underground palace "uses mercury as a hundred rivers and seas". Some experts have proved through geophysical prospecting that there is indeed a mercury anomaly in the underground of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Although this discovery has not been fully confirmed, according to historical records and soil surveys, it can be basically determined that the Milky Way was indeed injected under the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.

However, the discovery of the Milky Way of Water in such a tomb made Huo Sining feel very strange.

Who is the owner of this tomb, and why does he also use such a precious thing as mercury? Such a ravine, it takes at least hundreds of tons of mercury to be completely filled, mercury is rare in ancient times, why did the owner of this ancient tomb spend so much financial and material resources to build an existence comparable to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?

Huo Sining was still in a daze, over there, Xie Daoyuan and Ji Kun had already walked out of the thief cave carefully, because they were blocked by huge mud and rocks, they had to go back the same way, but when they saw the collapsed cave wall, Professor Xie frowned, and he didn't know where to start.

Judging from the support of the wooden frame in the tunnel, it can be said that it is precarious, and they are extremely careful when walking in the robbery hole, for fear that a bad sound will break the rotten wood in the robbery hole, once the excavation tools are used to shake, it cannot be avoided, but I am afraid that it will be even worse.

"Professor Xie, how is it?" Seeing Xie Daoyuan climb up from the thief hole, Captain Zhao stepped forward and asked.

Xie Daoyuan walked around the entire mountainside and the foot of the mountain, returned to the thief cave and looked at it again, his brows furrowed, and he shook his head:

"The situation is not optimistic, the cemetery is sealed, and you can only change another way to get in. However, I paid attention to the distribution of trees on the mountain, in this ancient tomb, only the two sides of this road are densely wooded, so it can be seen that both sides of this tomb road are drainage channels, and this ancient tomb should only be able to enter this one road. ”

"Professor Xie, if you can't breathe, won't the people inside be suffocated to death? Why don't you just drill down from the top of the mountain through the stone wall?"

Captain Zhao doesn't care about archaeology or not, this happened in Xianyang, if something happens in the place under his jurisdiction, even if those tomb robbers themselves have problems, but he needs to be responsible for his life, which is not what he wants to see.

How could Xie Daoyuan not know what Captain Zhao was thinking, he glanced at him obliquely, and said angrily:

"Can this be drilled casually? The top of the mountain is full of rocks, and you can drill into it, and even if you want to drill it, you have to start from the mountainside, right? Besides, I don't know the interior structure of this tomb, can we start rashly? If it is not the main tomb that is drilled into, but it is chiseled into the ear room or other places, causing huge losses to the entire tomb, who will compensate for it?"

Xie Daoyuan's words made Captain Zhao speechless, he was also afraid of responsibility, now is not the time to delay, those people are buried in the ground, if they are not dealt with as soon as possible, these people will be starved to death if they are not suffocated to death.

"Professor Xie, come and see here!"

Just when Xie Daoyuan felt that it was extremely tricky, Shi Qingyun ran towards Professor Xie.

Professor Xie looked towards Shi Qingyun and saw that he was holding a dwarf shrub in his hand.

The shrub looked unremarkable, but its roots were very thick and swollen like a man's arm, and under its leaves were spherical drupes, the size of peas, some pale green, others bright red.

"Tieliang Umbrella!" Seeing the plant, Professor Xie's face changed slightly, and he asked urgently, "Where did you find this plant?"

"Just ahead, there's a big area over there, all of which are of this kind of plant, and the whole hillside is overgrown all over the mountains!"

Shi Qingyun obviously knew what was going on, so he hurriedly explained, pulled Professor Xie and walked towards the hillside on the other side.

Sure enough, on the other side of the shady hillside, there were red and green iron umbrellas, and seeing such a spectacular scene, Xie Daoyuan couldn't speak for a long time.

"It's just some weeds, what's the fuss?" Captain Zhao on the side couldn't help but mutter.

Captain Zhao didn't know about plants, but it wasn't the first time he had seen Tie Liang umbrella, such things were found in many places in Xianyang, although it was rare to see such patches growing, but he didn't think it was strange, maybe the soil in this place was suitable for the growth of these plants, and he didn't think that these plants had anything to do with the purpose of their coming here today.

"Professor Xie, is there anything wrong with these iron umbrellas?"

Huo Sining didn't think that Professor Xie was playing tricks, she was not like Captain Zhao who was a layman, although she did not study such things as plants, but the most important discipline in archaeology was feng shui survey, which involved relying on the environment around the cemetery to speculate on the inner structure of the tomb.

This Tie Liang umbrella can make Professor Xie and that expert so excited, proving that there is definitely something wrong with these Tie Liang umbrellas!

"This rattan grass is called Tieliang Umbrella, you know?" Professor Xie asked with a smile.

Seeing Huo Sining nodding, Professor Xie continued: "The Tieliang umbrella grows in the cool and humid place of the deep mountains, the leaves are like holly, the roots are as big as tendons, and it can be used as medicine. It's common knowledge that most people know, but did you know that it also has another name?"

"What alias?" Huo Sining asked as he looked at Professor Xie strangely.

"Cinnabar root. Professor Xie looked at the hillside, and a trace of doubt and confusion flashed in his eyes: "Tieliang Umbrella also has another nickname that most people don't know, called cinnabar root. (To be continued.) )
