Chapter 549: The Terracotta Army
The dark cave seems to be as deep as never ending, and the snow-white light of a professional flashlight cannot pierce the layers of darkness at all.
Of course, a cave is a cave, and there will be an end to it.
After climbing a slope, a wide hall appeared in front of him, on one side of the hall, there was a stone door more than three meters high, there was no carving on the stone door, on both sides of the stone door, there were two stone statues, the style of the stone statue was consistent with the terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the difference was only more majestic and mighty, but it was less than one meter shorter than the stone gate that was more than three meters high, and it was more than two meters high.
"Hahahaha, we found it." Wang Stupid stood in front of the stone gate and laughed proudly.
"Be careful, there may be a mechanism." Su Xue reminded.
"Mmmm, let's not rush, let's take a look first."
Wang Du summoned all the flashlights collected from the tomb robbers from the space ring, opened them and placed them in some key positions in the cave hall, and immediately, the entire hall was illuminated by the bright light.
"Damn, it's really generous!"
Wang Stupid looked at the cave with a look of amazement.
If you look closely, you will find that the cave is a natural formation, but most of the places have traces of artificial carving. Obviously, this is a place chosen by Qin Shi Huang on the spot.
On the side of the cave wall, Wang Fool found a simple and mottled stone platform, on which some ancient characters and patterns were carved, and there were some mysterious runes, and on the stone platform, there was a stone carved incense burner.
Next to the incense burner on the stone platform, there were a few rolls of bamboo slips, when Wang Du saw the bamboo slips, he was inexplicably excited, thinking that it was a secret book for cultivating truth such as "Supreme Immortal Dao", but unfortunately, he just touched it with his hand, and the bamboo slip that seemed intact immediately turned into ashes.
From the traces carved on the cave wall and some decayed items, it is certain that there were originally many valuable cultural relics and antiques in this hall, but because of the age, and the environment is not closed, except for some stone carvings and other things, they have all decayed.
Any kind of substance has a decay period, the difference is only in the length of the matter, and among the known substances on the earth, the decay period of stone is the longest.
In a corner of the cave hall, the most complete antique that Wang Du saw was a bronze tripod.
The bronze tripod is more than a meter high, and it looks solemn and majestic and very thick, but the mottled green rust on it reminds Wang Du that thick is only its appearance, and it is likely that if you touch it lightly, it will turn into ashes like the bamboo slips on the altar......
……
"There's nothing of value." After checking it around, Wang Du looked disappointed.
“……”
Su Xue had a speechless expression.
"Su Xue, what do you say about these two stone sculptures?" Wang Fool's eyes fell on the two stone statues more than two meters high, and he licked his tongue.
"I'm not an expert, and if you get them out, I guess it's okay to sell them for millions." Su Xue looked the stone statue up and down.
"Only a few million?" Wang Stupid looked disappointed again.
"Yes, a few million at most, of course, in the hands of some international collectors, if it changes hands, it may be sold for hundreds of millions."
"Ah...... Millions! Why can't I sell hundreds of millions? Wang Fool's eyes shot out of golden light, and his face was greedy.
"Most of China's antiques can only be sold for a good price after they have been sold by foreigners."
"Ah......" Wang Du looked stunned.
"Every year, thousands of antiques are stolen overseas in China, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, to thousands or even hundreds, but as long as they go around overseas, their value doubles. Do you know the 12 zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace? ”
"I know, it seems that Jackie Chan is still making a movie." Wang Du nodded again and again.
"Yes, in terms of artistic value, the 12 zodiac signs are nothing in China's vast sea of cultural relics and antiques, but, because of many people's hype, in the end, their value is often hundreds of millions, because, in them, poured into the patriotic feelings of the Chinese."
"Listen to you, that's true." Wang Stupid sighed.
"The zodiac is just one of the representatives, and there are countless antiques that return from abroad every year."
"Why is this happening?"
"There are many complicated reasons for this, first of all, China's psychology of admiring foreigners and flattering foreigners is troublesome, believing that antiques that have won the recognition of foreigners are more valuable and more valuable, and it is easier to find a home when you want to get rid of them; In addition, returning from abroad is equivalent to having a legal identity, after all, it is illegal to buy and sell antiques privately in the country......"
"Grandma's!" Wang Du felt depressed in his heart.
"Personally, I think that cultural relics are treasures of all mankind in the world, and if foreigners can preserve them better, it doesn't matter if they are sold to them, at least, we can see them often in the future. Patriotic enthusiasm aside, like the Louvre Museum in France and the National Museum in the United Kingdom, which have a lot of Chinese cultural relics and some valuables, they also keep them very well, and we in China have to come back after a lot of hard work, either they are collected by some dignitaries, or they are collecting tickets......" Su Xue sighed deeply.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if they collect it, but they can't grab it! I believe that China's cultural relics market will gradually get better......"
"Things will get better when the ebony dug up in the ground is not the state. In your current situation, even if it is a stone statue you find, it belongs to the state, so don't think about making a fortune with these two stone statues, these two guys are too big, even if I help you make a move, under the layers of exploitation, there is not much money in your hands. ”
"Do you want to bury them in the ground?"
"Isn't the tomb of Qin Shi Huang still buried?"
“…… Well, just let them stay here. ”
"I'm afraid it's not like you can stay." Su Xue's gaze staring at the stone statue suddenly became solemn, and she grabbed Wang Fool's arm and retreated again and again.
"What's wrong...... Ah......h
Wang Fool followed Su Xue's gaze and was suddenly stunned, because the two stone statues were actually stretching their limbs.
Think about it, in this dark underground cave, two stone statues more than two meters tall suddenly stretch their muscles and bones like humans!
Su Xue and Wang Fool clasped their fingers tightly and retreated again and again.
However, to the surprise of Wang Fool and Su Xue, the two stone statues only moved a few times, and then they stood still again......
……
Wang Fool and Su Xue looked at each other.
The scene just now was so weird that the two of them couldn't react for a while.
"Could it be a mechanism?" Wang Fool asked.
"Probably the patron saint of these two doors." Su Xue smiled bitterly.
"Patron Saint...... However, they are stones, so what do you have to do if you have nothing to do? Wang Fool wondered.
"God knows." Su Xue shrugged.
"Grandma, I don't believe that two stone men can still do anything to us!" Wang stupidly stared at the two stone statues that had changed their posture.
"Be careful."
Su Xue saw Wang Stupid striding towards the stone statue, and hurriedly reminded.
"It's fine."
Wang Stupid walked to the stone statue, but what he couldn't understand was that he stood under the two stone statues, but they didn't react in the slightest, and even, Wang Stupid touched the stone statue with his hand, and the stone statue still didn't move, without the slightest sign of life.
"Were we dazzled?" Wang Stupid looked back at Su Xue.
"Definitely not, their posture has changed." Su Xue shook her head very affirmatively.
"Forget it, leave them alone, open this door first......"
"Be careful!"
"Whew!"
As soon as Wang Fool's arm touched the stone door, Su Xue let out an exclamation, and then, a piercing sound of breaking the air sounded in the back of Wang Fool's head.
Wang Fool didn't think about it, his body was short, and when he turned around, he punched.
"Peng!"
With a loud bang, Wang Fool felt a pain in his arm, and when he looked up, he found that the person who was fighting him just now was actually the stone statue that was not moving at all.
What made Wang Fool vomit blood the most was that after the stone statue punched, it resumed its initial static movement.
This stone statue is weird!
Wang Fool naturally knew his own strength, let alone a stone statue, even if it was made of metal, it could not withstand his brutal strength, but the stone statue was unscathed, but Wang Fool felt that his arm hurt.
Wang Fool began to test the stone statue's reaction, and kept approaching the stone gate, and soon, he was sure that as long as he got close to the stone gate and touched the stone gate with his arm, the stone statue would launch a thunderous attack.
The attack of the stone statue is simple and powerful, and the two stone statues completely cover the scope of the stone gate, that is to say, as long as Wang Du wants to enter the stone gate, he must first pass through the stone gate.
Wang Stupid couldn't understand why the stone statue attacked when he touched the stone door, which seemed a bit unusual, if the tomb robber was attacked by the stone statue, he could have destroyed the stone statue first.
"What if I don't open the stone door and destroy the stone statue first?" Wang was stupid and puzzled.
"It's a weird setting." Su Xue, who was smart in ice and snow, couldn't figure it out.
"If you attack the statue, it may react differently."
Wang Fool had a flash of inspiration and immediately punched the waist of the stone statue.
Really!
Just between the electric flint that Wang Fool's fist was close to, the stone statue that was originally motionless suddenly moved, and the huge and clumsy body became extremely agile and agile, and the body bent, and the thick arm covered with armor swept towards Wang Fool, like lightning, the wind was blowing, and it was unstoppable.
"Good time!"
Wang stupid flashed, his figure ejected, and kicked the stone statue in the air.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, the thrilling sound of breaking the air was remembered around him, and Wang Du, who was originally jumping up in the air and preparing to kick the stone statue, saw that the stone statue that was originally standing on the other side suddenly took a step forward without warning, and his thick arm was picked up and smashed down.
"I'm cāo!"
Wang Du was shocked into a cold sweat, if he was smashed off by this arm, he was afraid that this leg would be broken in two immediately. It's a long story, in fact, it was all in an instant, Wang Du didn't have time to think at all, his body twisted and changed direction in the air, and the leg kicked out and the thick arm of the stone statue almost rubbed against each other, which was very thrilling.
After dodging the attack of the two stone statues, Wang Du's body retreated sharply.
What made Wang Stupid speechless was that after he retreated, the two stone statues immediately stopped attacking, and stood on both sides of the stone gate on the left and right, without the slightest breath of life, which looked extremely weird......
