The stone statue was still colored, but it was old, and most of the color had peeled off in the dry environment, and Dick reached out and picked a little bit of paint with his fingernails on one of the stone statues, as if it were cinnabar mixed with other things.

The bearded man was relieved to see Dick burrowing into the group of stone statues, and there seemed to be nothing wrong, and these lifelike stone statues also aroused his great interest, and he looked left and right in the group of stone statues, and separated from Dick.

The bearded man felt as if he was walking in the middle of a group of people, those stone statues were smiling, the bearded man felt a trance in front of him, a stone statue in the distance seemed to move, the bearded man rubbed his eyes, indeed, the stone statue moved!

Ever since he entered the royal tomb, the bearded man felt that something was wrong with this place, and he thought it would be better to meet Dick quickly, and when he turned around, a face came to him.

"Hey!"

The bearded man sat down on the ground in fright, and let out a dry cry in his throat: "BOSS! ”

"Hey! It's us! We! Mr. Min and Xia Ruobing got into the stone statue group from the other side, and when they heard Dick's voice coming to them, they turned around and took a look at the bearded, but they almost scared the bearded man!

There was a false alarm, the bearded man couldn't cry or laugh, and several people got together again, and they had to discuss what to do next.

"I have a question...... "Dick asks first, "why are the stone chambers of the mausoleum connected by long passages?" Why not dig up a large space and then divide it? ”

"BOSS, I think it's better to think about how to get out." I was frightened just now, and the bearded man still had palpitations.

Xia Ruobing felt that the regulation of this mausoleum was related to a constellation. , The curse on the sundial mentions Betelgeuse, and the first few stone chambers, all have the pattern of Orion, these stone chambers seem to be arranged according to the orientation of Orion, and each stone chamber is stored according to the type of different treasures, the ancients have a common feature of treating death, called serving death as a waiter, that is to say, the treatment enjoyed by the tomb owner before his death will also be brought underground, the most reflective of this feature is undoubtedly the ancient Chinese mausoleum. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the mausoleum of the prince and the prince has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more burial goods brought into the ground, and the treasure that ordinary people understand is nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry, but in the burial items, it also includes all the items of the daily life of the tomb owner, and in the earlier tombs, human martyrdom and livestock burial can usually be found, for the tomb owner, they are also a symbol of wealth, even if they go underground, they must enjoy the services of people and these animals.

The use of human and animal burial was withdrawn from the stage of history after the civilization slowly developed, and was replaced by a stone statue symbolizing human beings for burial.

“SO？！” Dick's eyes widened, Xia Ruobing's theory seemed to have some truth, but it seemed to be nonsense.

"If I'm not mistaken, we're in Betelgeuse right now, and we've just passed Betelgeuse I. and Betelgeuse, and the long corridor is from southeast to northwest, and the empty little stone chamber we pass by is one of the three dark stars under Orion's belt." Xia Ruobing roughly calculated according to the pointing on the compass and the direction of the passage.

"Why do you think so?!" The bearded man was a little unconvinced.

"Orion is the only constellation in the northern night sky that does not rotate, it rises almost due south and then sets due north." Xia Ruobing glanced at the beard, has this experienced "explorer" ever learned about astrology?

"And then?!" Dick thinks it doesn't matter what the seat is, what matters is what to do now?

"The intruder will die before Betelgeuse rises......" Xia Ruobing muttered in a low voice.

"Of course I do......," Dick was a little irritated, the curse of the sundial had been heard several times.

Xia Ruobing pointed to a line of inscriptions on the stone wall, and Dick looked back, and there was another sentence engraved here!

The bearded man had a sense of foreboding, no matter where he was, he would find a way to go out first, so what kind of king sealed him, those precious stones and gold were enough.

"There's a route we have to follow to get out." Xia Ruobing felt that if he guessed correctly, the royal tomb was built according to the direction of the seven stars of Orion, then he had to follow a specific route, and the entrance they came in was just in the south, the position of Betelgeuse Seven, Xia Ruobing felt that the main tomb would be in the position of the bright star on the right shoulder, that is, the position of Betelgeuse.

If you want to reach Betelgeuse, from the constellation chart, there will be several routes, return to Betelgeuse, go straight to the north, Betelgeuse can also be reached directly to the northwest, or you can reach Betelgeuse first, and then turn to Betelgeuse.

"Choose one of three?!" Dick thought it was a gamble, "What happens if you choose the wrong one?!" ”

"I don't know." Xia Ruobing shrugged, "This was made by your ancestors. ”

According to the records of the historians, there is a correlation between the opening and closing of the stone gates of these passages, and if this record is correct, then the passage from Betelgeuse to Betelgeuse should be closed at this time.

"What does that mean?" The bearded brain is somewhat insufficient.

"Each star has several passages connected to other stars, and when a certain door is opened, a specific door will be closed, and if you go through the wrong passage, it will be a dead ......end," Xia Ruobing roughly explained his reasoning.

Dick cursed his ancestors in his heart, why should such a complicated royal tomb be made.

"Okay, gentlemen, let's find the exit first......" Mr. Min felt that there was no result in the discussion, so it was better to give it a try according to what Xia Ruobing said, look in the direction of Betelgeuse, and find the passage first.

Sure enough, on the northwest side of the stone room, there is a stone door, Mr. Min looked at the direction, if Xia Ruobing's reasoning is correct, behind the door is a direct passage to Betelgeuse, but at this time it is closed, but Mr. Min searched carefully by the stone door for a long time, and did not find any switches or anything like that.

At the same time, Xia Ruobing also found another stone gate in the northeast, but the same stone gate could not be opened.

"Will it break?" Dick now regrets using explosives.

Xia Ruobing had warned that explosives could not be used, the royal tomb had exquisite mechanisms and secret passages, and now it seemed that the passage to retreat back to Betelgeuse could not be opened, if it was really because of the explosives that destroyed the royal tomb, Dick really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

"I don't think it's going to be a problem." Mr. Min cleaned the gap under the stone door, picked his fingers, and used up all his strength to eat, but the stone door did not move, and it was impossible for Mr. Min to move the stone door, so everyone had to look for anything like a switch in the stone room, but more than an hour passed, and there was no progress at all.

"The trespasser will die before Betelgeuse rises......" The bearded man was pale, at this latitude, Orion rises very early in winter, could it be that when Orion rises in the sky, the spirits of the undead in this royal tomb will swarm out?

As the bearded man muttered to himself, there was a rumbling sound in the stone chamber.

"The organ is in place." Xia Ruobing could hear that the sound was coming from the direction of Betelgeuse, which meant that the specific stone door could be opened.

"But where the fuck is the switch?!" Dick was very irritable, he felt that those stone statues were laughing at him, as a descendant of Loulan, he was trapped in the royal tomb built by his ancestors, which was really a great irony!

"!" The rumble woke up Chen Badai, who had fainted, his headlamp had been shattered in the bump, and the strong flashlight was nowhere to be found, Chen Badai felt a headache, he didn't care about looking for the flashlight, he first reached out to touch the medicine bottle in his pocket, but the zipper of the pocket containing the medicine bottle didn't know when it opened, and there was nothing in it! Chen Badai had no choice but to take out a spare small flashlight and turn it on, and he saw a long passage, but there was no one around......
