Ye Tian and Werther went deep into the catacombs, in order not to let others disturb, Ye Tian specially asked all the archaeological staff to leave, but what they didn't expect was that Werther's courage was not good, just a little scare, and he hid behind Ye Tian and didn't dare to stretch his head.

If it weren't for the virus, Werther might have been hiding behind Ye Tian's back all the time, but just as the two were arguing about whether the virus was for survival or something else, there was a sudden sound in the silent catacomb.

Hee hee Suo, like a mouse around, when he heard a movement, Witt suddenly didn't dare to speak, and looked at Ye Tian with longing eyes, hoping that Ye Tian could go around to check what was going on? Ye Tian smiled bitterly and glanced at Werther, this is a big man, why is he so daring?

I wanted to think about it, but Ye Tian still looked at the place where the movement came, and when he looked over, he found that there was really a mouse in the corner of the tomb in the slightly dim light around it, and the eyes of the mouse were contrasted with green light.

In fact, the catacombs are not too big, but as a famous figure in history, Zhang Zhongjing's tomb will not be small no matter how small, with a total of two floors up and down, the lower layer is where Zhang Zhongjing's coffin is located, and the upper layer is a larger space, and the surrounding murals tell the life of Zhang Zhongjing.

And now they followed the passage diagonally down from the foundation of the surface of the ground to the burial chamber on the upper floor, because there were some frescoes around, so in order not to affect the frescoes, they did not install those fluorescent lamps that emit hot temperatures, but installed some cold lights.

It is precisely because of these cold lights that they appear a little dim, and those rats are in dark corners that cannot be illuminated by the lights, so although only some of the rats look a little infiltrating.

Ye Tian boldly took two steps in the direction of the mouse, and the mouse immediately fled in fright after seeing Ye Tian, and when he saw the mouse leaving, Werther was quiet.

After a handful of sweat, Witt said fearfully, "I don't know why I always think these rats are so disgusting, I burrow in these sewers all day long, and I don't know how many bacteria are on my body, so every time I see mice, I am always scared." ”

"You're still not a doctor, it's incomprehensible that you have a habit of cleanliness as a doctor."

Ye Tianhao unceremoniously seized the opportunity to sarcastically, while Werther scratched his head embarrassedly and did not reply, the two seemed to be getting along peacefully, and there was already an undercurrent outside.

"I don't know if you've noticed that these rats are supposed to be hiding in a dark corner, but the air circulation in this upper layer is still relatively good, and it shouldn't be an ideal place for rats to live, but why are these rats here? Shouldn't the following be their best place to live? ”

Werther looked at the mouse that was scared by Ye Tian, and couldn't stop muttering, as if he had some nerves, but Ye Tian understood very well, most people like this are stupid, and they should be understood.

"Do you have to worry about where the rats want to live? Hurry up and look around to see if there's anything weird? ”

Ye Tian urged Witt to start moving, and he also began to wander around the tomb, the surrounding murals have been exposed to the air for a long time, and the color has changed a little, but it can still be vaguely seen that these murals tell the various deeds of doctors and Zhang Zhongjing to treat diseases and save people.

Presumably, the builder of this tomb must be a loyal supporter of Zhang Zhongjing, otherwise how could the murals around this place all promote Zhang Zhongjing?

But what did the ancients think, Ye Tian couldn't care so much, and now he was paying attention to whether there was anything strange inside the tomb? This is not only to find out the cause of the infection of the archaeological team members, but also to prevent themselves from being infected.

It's a pity that they didn't find anything special, and the whole thing they are in now is like an exhibition hall, in addition to the murals on the walls, there are some clay pots and porcelain and other things around, it seems that the person who built this tomb in the first place is not very wealthy.

There is also the possibility that all the valuable items in it have been taken away, which is why the appearance in front of you is now, but it doesn't matter.

Finding nothing out of the ordinary, the two groped their way towards the lower floor, which was darker than the previous floor, and there was no lighting at all around it except for a few yellow wall lamps, but this was also for better construction and as little damage to the site as possible.

After reaching the lower level, Ye Tian didn't find anything strange at first, but with Werther's reminder, Ye Tian also noticed a very serious problem that was easy to ignore.

"Mr. Ye, have you noticed that you don't see any rats or anything like that down there."

"Huh?"

After Werther's reminder, Ye Tian also noticed that there was no living creature at all in the second layer of the tomb, if this was placed in a tightly sealed royal-level tomb, this situation was very likely to happen, but for a doctor profession with commemorative value but no status, it was incredible.

"Look around and see if there's anything weird?"

Seeing that there were a few mining lamps used by archaeologists in the corner of the wall, he should have forgotten to take them, Ye Tian took two of them, first handed one to Werther, and opened one himself.

The miner's lamp was brighter than the surrounding lights, so with the help of the miner's lamp, Ye Tian could easily see the general structure of the tomb.

The whole burial chamber is in the shape of a hollow figure, a wooden coffin is placed on the high platform in the middle, the black and gray surface looks particularly permeable, and a high platform under the coffin has nine steps on all sides, carved on it, the lines of flowers, birds, fish and insects, it looks ancient.

The contrast between the black and gray coffin and such steps looks extremely awkward, but neither Ye Tian nor Witt has the intention of underestimating these things in front of them, because these things are all related to Zhang Zhongjing, and no one knows who built this tomb But there is a good saying, it is a medicine that is poisonous.

As long as he is a Chinese medicine practitioner, in a way, he can be regarded as an expert in playing with poison, although this tomb cannot be built by Zhang Zhongjing himself, but those who admire Zhang Zhongjing so much are likely to be Chinese medicine practitioners.

In addition to the fact that there are six poisoned and infected people on the ground, according to the above speculations, it is very likely that this tomb hides the secret tricks left by the people who built the tomb in the first place, and the ancient people were generally very disgusted with the theft of tombs by later generations.

This is why there are all kinds of sandbanks, such as quicksand, poisonous dragon covers, glazed ceilings, and other mechanisms to prevent tomb robbery, and as a traditional Chinese medicine, all of the above are not a good trick for traditional Chinese medicine, a few simple poisons, as long as they can stay, they can be kept forever, and they can prevent problems before they happen, so that those who come to rob the tomb can't eat and walk around.

Although archaeological acts are protective excavations, in a sense, they are still a type of tomb robbers, but they are official tomb robbers, so it is not an exaggeration to leave these institutions to archaeologists.

And, isn't this someone who has already been tricked?

"Okay, you pay attention, you may encounter something that will poison and infect the archaeological team members next, pay attention to the surrounding environment, don't be contaminated by anything and don't touch anything you haven't seen."

"Okay, okay."

Although Werther is not inferior to Ye Tian in terms of medical skills, he is definitely inferior to Ye Tian in terms of dealing with people, after all, the living environment of the two is completely different, which also leads to the difference in the development direction of the two.

And the smart Werther obviously understood this truth, so when Ye Tian spoke, he nodded busily, indicating that he understood.

However, just when the two of them acted cautiously, the mouse that was scared away by Ye Tian's actions from the upper layer appeared here, because they didn't move in the dark corner at first, so Ye Tiancai didn't find it, but when Ye Tian and the two of them moved, the mouse was frightened and began to run.

Ye Tian was also startled when he noticed the movements of the rats, but when they found out that they were all mice, they realized that it was a false alarm.

Werther's courage was already very small, and the surrounding environment was so gloomy and weird, and now he encountered a mouse that suddenly popped up, and he was almost frightened and jumped on Ye Tian's body.

When he saw Ye Tian's eyes full of disdain, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Well, I just think rats are dirty, not scared."

However, his explanation sounded so pale and weak, Ye Tian didn't care, but began to wander around the tomb with a miner's lamp, and just when the two of them were looking around, something even stranger happened.

The rats, who were frightened by their movements, were still scurrying around in a mess at first, which was very disturbing, but in the next three minutes, these rats kept screaming and "squeaking" as if they had encountered natural enemies.

It sounded like these rats had been thrown into a pan of oil or tied to a rope and cut with a knife, the painful feeling that even Ye Tian and Werther, who were humans, couldn't help but shudder.

"This is, what's going on? Don't scare me, what the hell is wrong with these rats? ”

"You ask me how I know."

Ye Tian covered his nose with his hand, and then paced towards the place where the rat was screaming, the scream came and went quickly, and when Ye Tian walked to him, the rat had almost stopped howling.

The bright light brought by the miner's lamp shone on the place where the rats screamed, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Ye Tian couldn't help but turn his head, and Werther, who was following Ye Tian, turned his head and almost vomited when he saw the scene in front of him.

"What is this?"

When Werther made a complaining voice, Ye Tian was also surprised in his heart, what appeared in front of them were four or five thin mice, like skin and bones, and they didn't have the feeling of abundance like normal mice.

It looked like they had been starved for a long time, and some scars could be faintly visible on their bodies, and it was obvious that some of the fur on the surface of the rats' bodies had fallen off and the parts that had fallen off were the same parts of their injuries.

But these are not important, the important thing is that the rats in front of them are now completely left with only a layer of skin, lying on the ground.

"What's wrong with these rats, why are they so miserable?"
