Chapter 1181: The Tomb Under the City
The big guy was very happy to see that Li Guozhong was fine, even if he threw the rope to Li Guozhong and let Li Guozhong grab the rope, and then several people who had already climbed out of the collapse began to pull it hard, tossing for a long time, before pulling the dying Li Guozhong out.
After seeing that everyone came out safe and sound, everyone began to shake off the sand in their clothes.
Only the fat man sat alone by the bunker and giggled towards the bottom of the bunker.
When he smiled, Zhang Meng was a little puzzled: "I said fatty, are you stupid?" Can you still laugh at this? I said you tap next time, don't make a fuss at every turn. ”
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time, fat man, but ...... Hehe......" he said, and the fat man laughed again.
"Don't be happy, okay? When other people see you, they think you're mentally ill, and you have nothing to do giggling or something. Zhang Meng said.
"Damn! What do you say I like about fatty? After some tossing just now, the fat man finally regained his strength, looked at the collapsed sand pit next to him with a smirk and said, "Don't you think about it, how can a good piece of land collapse?" Looking at Zhang Meng's suddenly realized expression, the fat man nodded and said, "That's right, it seems that we are lucky, there should be an ancient tomb down here." ”
"Tomb?" Zhang Meng glanced around, no matter how he looked at the broken walls and broken porcelain pieces around him, it didn't look like a cemetery.
"Of course." The fat man smiled and said, "Such a large-scale sand pit, what can it be if it's not a tomb?" ”
"But isn't this the ruins of the ancient city of Xiaowan Kingdom?" Zhang Meng said in wonder.
"I can't tell." The fat man shook his head.
"That's incredible, isn't it?" Zhang Meng asked, "Someone would build a tomb under the castle where they live?" I've been to quite a few tombs, but I've never seen anything like them. ”
"Maybe this city was built later." The fat man said: "You must know that at that time, although these small countries in the Western Regions were prosperous economically and culturally, they were all small countries with a population of less than 10,000 after all, where can they compare to our Han Dynasty." I'm afraid that their city-building skills are not very good, and even what is under their castle, I'm afraid they themselves don't know. ”
Just when the two of them were halfway through speaking, Professor Lou and Professor Fang, who had already cleaned their clothes at this time, heard the words of the two, smiled knowingly, and explained: "Comrade Zhang, most of the tombs you are referring to are funeral methods influenced by my Central Plains culture, but the countries of the Western Regions are located between the two great powers of Rome and the Han Dynasty, and there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going, and the cultures they accept are also different. Their funeral methods were bizarre, and the use of the city-state as catacombs has also been documented in historical sources. ”
"That's fine." Zhang Meng looked at the sand pit beside him with palpitations.
"That's right." Professor Fang pushed down his glasses, as if he had found something to look forward to, and said to the person beside him: "Look at the scale of the sand pit, this should be the tomb group of Xiaowan Kingdom, it seems that we are really as lucky as this fat brother said this time." ”
"It's good luck, but I almost didn't die." Li Guozhong said sourly beside him.
But this time the fat man has a long memory, so he ignores this slut.
"I think everybody is working together to clean up all the sand in the bunker." Professor Lou said.
"Okay."
Zhang Meng, Fat Man, Zhao San, Brown Mouse, Yellow Dog, plus a few young people from the expert group, and even the mercenaries of Bogut Company also came over to clear the sand in the bunker.
It was just an accident that everyone was almost wiped out in this bunker just now, but this time they all showed their previous experience, and after half an hour, the entire bunker was restored to its original appearance.
The expert group in charge of the survey, including Professor Lou, pointed to a sand pit and said, "It seems that someone should have entered here." ”
"What do you mean?" As soon as he heard this, the fat man immediately made a wit: "Professor Lou, you mean to say that someone has taken it out here." ”
"Hmm." Professor Lou nodded, pointed to the large stone exposed underground, and said, "It seems that there should be a stone tomb down here, and it stands to reason that this kind of tomb structure is unlikely to collapse." The only explanation is that someone has already entered the tomb and destroyed it. ”
"Alas!" Professor Fang also sighed again and again: "This place in Lop Nur is like this, although it is dangerous, but it also has a lot of treasures buried, no matter whether the greedy person can get out of this Lop Nur or not, they will dig up all the tombs they find." ”
"Then there's no baby down here?"
Before the fat man finished speaking, Zhang Meng covered his mouth.
"It's hard to say about the treasures, but there should be some historical materials left in the tomb." Professor Fang seemed to be afraid that Lady Na would give up this accidentally discovered Xiaowan Ancient Tomb, and explained: "Ordinary tomb robbers don't know much about words, and they won't move these words, maybe we will find some unexpected discoveries below." ”
"But it's dangerous to go down now." The fat man said with experience: "This must be loosened down here, we almost all fell into it just now, if so many of us go down, we will definitely not be able to bear it." ”
"Why don't we pick a few people to go down and have a look?" Zhao San suggested next to him.
"Well, that's a good idea." Professor Lou nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Fang said impatiently, "I'll go down." ”
"I'll go too."
"I'll go too."
……
When several young men from the group heard that they were going to the grave, they all volunteered.
Lady Na took a look and saw that the Bogut Company was whispering earnestly, and it seemed that they were also interested in going to the grave.
Then he raised his head and said: "In this way, Professor Fang and Professor Lou of the expert group will go down with me, and Zhang Meng, you and the fat man and Ye Jiu will also go down with me." In addition, I went to Bogut Company to borrow two people, and the others stayed on it, and Yao Yuan was temporarily in charge of the vigilance task. ”
When several young people heard that Lady Na did not let herself go down, they immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.
But Lady Nako ignored them, walked straight to the Bogut company, and whispered to them for a while, and two bearded adult men followed. Lady Na said to Zhang Meng: "This long-haired man is Lambert, an expert in European Loulan culture, and this bearded gentleman is Paul, an expert in geology. ”
I didn't know if the other party could understand Chinese, so Zhang Meng simply greeted them in Hong Kong-style English.
The two of them also nodded at Zhang Meng.
After the personnel were arranged, Lady Na distributed the equipment that had been prepared long ago to everyone, then buckled the rope, jumped into the sand pit beautifully. Zhang Meng, Fatzi, and Ye Jiu in the back followed Professor Lou and Professor Fang successively. Lambert and Paul were also unusually athletic, put on protective gear, and followed.
