"Try to see if you can remove this sarcophagus. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
The old man stood up and said to Wen Yan and the others.
"Good!" Wen Yan and the others nodded and answered.
Several people walked around the sarcophagus, put their hands on the edge of the sarcophagus, and began to push the sarcophagus like behind them!
The sarcophagus, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, was also slowly moved in the hands of several leaders of the Hidden Dragon Special Combat Team.
Thundered!
Several people were sweating profusely, and they used all their strength to barely remove a gap in the sarcophagus!
But it was just a gap that made Wen Yan and the others, as well as several experts and scholars who came in, as well as the old man who was the leader, smile.
"Sure enough, there is a doorway! If I'm not mistaken, the secret of the Dongshan Ancient Tomb lies not in these tombs that have nothing, but in what is hidden under this tomb! The old man was smiling, if he really found something amazing under the tomb, I am afraid that this would become a milestone in the history of archaeology.
"It's still a great teacher, with a sharp eye like a torch, and I can see the unusual thing about this sarcophagus at a glance, the last time the students came here, they didn't find the doorway here, it's really ashamed." Next to him, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with half of the gray hair on his head, shook his head and sighed.
"You don't have to be presumptuous, this mechanism is too secretive, and it will be difficult for me to find it if I don't look closely." The old man comforted the middle-aged man.
"That's what the teacher said." The middle-aged man bent over and became more and more respectful to the old man.
"Wan Lao, you stay here, wait for us to go down, find out if there is any danger, and then you go down." Wen Yan said.
The old man thought for a while, and had to nod, even if he forcibly asked, he would follow up and take a look, and it was estimated that Wen Yan would not agree.
"You guys, push the sarcophagus away!" Wen Yan ordered at the soldiers behind him.
A dozen soldiers walked out, surrounded the sarcophagus, and slowly began to push the sarcophagus.
Two minutes later, the sarcophagus was completely pushed open, revealing a staircase passage hidden beneath the sarcophagus.
Wen Yan took a flashlight from the soldier next to him, took the first step, and walked into the staircase passage.
The staircase passage is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through, and there are oil lamps embedded in the walls on both sides to illuminate the entire staircase.
Fumihiko is vigilant and always ready to deal with threats from all directions.
To his surprise, until he reached the bottom of the staircase, he did not encounter the slightest danger.
The flashlight shone forward, and a stone gate appeared in front of him, and there were several ancient texts above the stone gate, and Wen Yan only recognized one of the words, which was very similar to the word "palace".
"Go and invite Wan Lao down, I guess only he can recognize the meaning of these three words here." Wen Yan said to the people behind him.
"The word in front of you, doesn't it look like a fire word?" Li Jie, who was next to him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the three ancient texts above the stone gate, and said.
"It's kind of like that, but let's wait for the old man to come down and tell us the answer." Fumihiko nodded.
"Do you want to go inside the stone gate and find out?" Liu Guangyuan, the leader of a group, asked.
"No hurry! Who knows what is behind the stone gate, let's wait for Wan Lao to answer the meaning of these three words for us, and then decide whether to go in or not. โ
Soon, the old man was respectfully invited by Yu Ming, the leader of the second group, and came to the stone gate.
After seeing the three ancient texts above the stone gate, the old man's pupils shrank, and he said in surprise: "This is the text of the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods!" โ
"What do you mean, Wan Lao?" Fumihiko asked.
"The first word is fire, the second word is the elephant of the elephant, and the third word should be easy to recognize, it is the word gong!"
"Fire Elephant Palace?" Wen Yan and the others looked at each other, feeling very unfamiliar with this term.
"Wait a minute, I'll check the historical materials to see if there is any information about the Fire Elephant Palace during the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods."
After the old man finished speaking, he waved behind him, and the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and handed over a thick book and put it in the old man's hand.
After opening the book and consulting it for a long time, the old man shook his head and sighed: "In the historical materials, there has never been a record of the Fire Elephant Palace. โ
"But this writing is indeed hieroglyphics!"
"Then let's go in and have a look." Wen Yan asked with a look in his eyes.
"Don't worry, let me observe what other mysteries are on this stone gate."
The old man walked over and looked at it carefully, and there was a stone gate three or four meters high.
The stone gate is about four meters high, the gate is open, and the inside is pitch black, even with a flashlight, it can't illuminate the things inside, as if in the stone gate, even the light will be absorbed.
On the stone gate on the left, there is a strange-shaped white sheep carved with a human face and wings on the back of a horse's hooves.
On the stone gate on the right, there is a monster with an eagle's head and a human body, standing between heaven and earth with his hands in his hands.
If you connect the two stone gates, you will find that the white sheep on the stone gate on the left side seems to be kneeling towards the monster on the stone gate on the right, and his expression is also respectful.
"That eagle-headed monster seems to be very familiar!" One of the people next to him suddenly spoke.
"Oh? What do you think of? Everyone looked sideways at him, and the old man also looked at him and asked with interest.
"I've seen a movie with a guy in it who resembles this eagle-headed monster!" The man said.
"People?" The crowd frowned.
"It's not a human being, to be precise, it's a god in myths and legends, called Donghuang Taiyi!"
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi? The stuff in the movie can't be taken seriously! Wen Yan shook his head.
"I just feel like it." The man said aggrievedly.
"Perhaps, ancient myths, although not fully believed, but there are some things that are by no means groundless. In ancient times, people did not have enough knowledge, and often imagined some things that they had never seen before into incredible pictures, and then used words and images to depict them, which formed myths and legends. The old man explained.
"Then teacher, how should this monster with a hawk head and a human body be explained?" The middle-aged student asked.
The old man pondered for a moment and said: "If you have to let me explain, you can understand it this way, people in ancient times saw a man with an eagle standing on his shoulder passing by, and he didn't see the face of this person, so he thought he saw a monster with an eagle head and a human body walking by, and used the image to depict the monster, forming a fictional mythological character, that is, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi!" โ
"And the Aries on the other side?" Fumihiko asked.
The same can be explained in this way, just as the people of ancient times only knew that the heavens were round and the earth was not aware that the earth itself was a sphere. Like what Nuwa mends the sky, maybe it's just a woman named Nuwa at that time who did one thing and saved them, in order to commemorate Nuwa, so she made up the mythical story of Nuwa mending the sky. โ
"The teacher has a point."
Everyone nodded in unison, somewhat enlightened. (To be continued.) )
