Chapter 93: The Tomb of the Sun

Washi Gorge is also known as Concave Stone Gorge, and the ancient city is also known as Crossbow Branch. It was the economic center of the ancient Loulan kingdom and the center of Sogdian habitation and life in Central Asia.

Everyone was overjoyed when they saw the city, which was almost buried in sand.

Even if Ablizi said how long it would take to arrive, they were just relieved and really saw that it was completely different.

Seeing the tragic consequences of the person after running out of water, everyone was actually cast a shadow in their hearts, and they didn't want to think about whether they would rob others of water if they ran out of water.

After seeing the city, Ablizi said: "This is already the depths of the desert, and I have only been here twice, and there is a water house in the middle of the city, and there is a well in it to draw water. ”

"Enlightenment, you lead people to find a place to camp next to the water house, and replenish the water by the way." Guo Ye said, deliberately looking at Ablizi with his eyes.

"Understood." Zhou Qiqi understood and called the Venerable Master to go over and find a suitable position.

Yang Ying said: "Liu Yan, Ma Rui, and Bo Ge also stay here, so as not to be robbed of our supplies." ”

"Boss, I'll go with you, we don't worry about you alone." Liu Yan said.

"Boss, I'll go with you too, there's enough Poge here." Liu Yan also said.

"It's useless if there are too many people, if you really encounter danger, you still rely on those people." Yang Ying looked at these reincarnators and said that he didn't want his brother to be suspected.

A few people had no choice but to watch Yang Ying walk to the edge of the ammunition box, take a few magazines and leave with the others.

Liu Yan took out two grenades from her bag and handed them to him and said, "Boss, take self-defense." ”

Yang Ying took it and smiled, signaling them to rest assured.

Professor Zhang said: "Don't go into danger for a few of you, stay here and sort out the materials we shot this time." Don't let anything happen to you, or I'll have no face to go back alive. ”

"Okay, Professor, Dr. Gu, you have to be careful." Uxes still wished, he didn't have Lin Xiaofei's courage, but fortunately, he was timid, and the prince's tomb didn't follow, otherwise he might have stayed below.

Except for the people who stayed behind, everyone followed into the city, and now everyone knows the existence of the elixir of immortality? It's all about finding clues with all their might.

Although the vast majority of the city is buried in yellow sand? But there are still some buildings with the tops exposed.

Based on the exposed parts, these experts can analyze and determine what type of building it is.

This is something that even if Ye Muchen knows the plot, he can't do it? That's why he followed the team all the way.

Dr. Ku, Professor Zhang, and Professor Liang are located according to the terrain? and the top style of the building, discuss and compare with each other? Soon walked in front of a building.

Dr. Gu took a closer look, and then according to the position here? Then he said, "Probably right?" The top of this building is the most unique, the pattern on it, and the location should be the sacrificial palace. ”

Is this building really different from the others? They didn't know what it did, though.

Guo Ye said: "Then what are you waiting for? Everyone dug a passage. ”

Now there are few people to do the work, and the reincarnators can only dig by themselves, and it took more than an hour to dig out the gate of the entrance.

Xiao Fei pushed open the stone door, and a large piece of sand flowed in.

He turned on the flashlight and sat inside, and there were a few breaks in the roof. The sunlight shines in, but it makes the inside brighter.

How many pillars in the house have reliefs of sacred beasts from the East? There are also Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from Buddhism, and the innermost is an altar? There is a relief of the sun on it, which is basically well preserved.

Professor Zhang looked around and said, "Loulan Kingdom worships the sun? Is it the sun that is worshipped here? And because of the Silk Road? With the influence of various countries, Loulan will also appear in the artistic styles of some countries such as the country of the East, Central Asia, Persia, Greece, and Rome. ”

"The frescoes here depict the worship of the sun, and there is nothing we need." Dr. Ku said.

Jiajia also took the flashlight, looked around, and finally stood in front of the altar in the middle and said: "Since Princess Loulan's sister died here, and she is the cursed snake summoned here, there should be something left."

Before Princess Loulan's sister was sacrificed, a curse must have been issued, and then she was killed by the sacrifice, and then the curse was effective, and this period would definitely not be too long. ”

"Professor Zhang, after Loulan Kingdom sacrifices a living person, what will he do with the corpse?" Guo Ye asked.

"There has never been a record of human sacrifice in Loulan Kingdom, and I don't know this." Professor Zhang shook his head and said.

"It will be buried, and the person who is sacrificed will be regarded as a servant to the sun and will remain in the tomb of the sun. It is a high honor to be a servant of the sun, so this cemetery is very well built, and Professor Zhang should know about the Sun Tomb. ”

Ye Muchen still decided to give a little hint, lest the time drag on for too long, and when the duration of his crossing was up, then the matter would be troublesome, and he didn't feel at ease if he left Xiao Qi here.

"I know this, in Lop Nur, there is a tomb complex composed of 42 tombs, 6 of which are arranged in a radiant sun-shaped tomb, which is magnificent, and it shocked the archaeological community at the beginning.

The tomb is made up of seven rings of wooden piles, each of which is 10 meters long, and each tomb is made of 690 trees. There are 6 tombs, 6 suns facing the blue sky, one after another, naked in the clean and soft yellow sand. The entire tomb group seems to have fallen countless radiant suns, and each sun is a tomb. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Zhang began to talk endlessly.

Guo Ye didn't want to hear him continue to talk about these useless things, so he interrupted and asked, "That means where Princess Loulan's sister is buried?" ”

"At the very least, it's certain that there must be important people buried there, and there may be clues about the curse." Ye Muchen continued to provide some clues, with the intelligence of these people, he knew the importance there.

"The poplar rings in every cemetery there are 7 layers, and the number 7 must mean something. In many literatures, there is a special meaning to 7, most of the stupas are 7 floors, God arranges a week for seven days, the ancient rainstorm rained for seven days and seven nights, someone once studied this number, and believed that the word 7 represents 7 spaces, that is, upper, middle, lower, front, back, left, right. Professor Zhang said.

"Does this have anything to do with the Sun Tomb?" Jiajia asked.

"This is only the particularity of the discovery of 7, but there are only six core tombs in the Sun Tomb discovered so far, and the excavation has not found the tomb of Princess Loulan's sister that we are looking for." Professor Zhang said.

"That's because someone doesn't want anyone else to know about the existence of the seventh tomb." Ye Muchen said.

Guo Ye frowned and asked, "Is there a way to lift the curse over there?" Guo Ye asked.

Ye Muchen shook his head and said, "No one has ever found the seventh tomb, so naturally I don't know what is there." ”

"Is there a water supply over there?" Guo Ye asked again.

"No, it's all sand, and the ancient river channel has long since dried up. After leaving the ancient city of Washixia, there was no major water source replenishment. Because of this, from here, the road behind is the real desert of death. ”

Professor Zhang is still familiar with this, and the Death Desert is very famous in the archaeological community.

As soon as Guo Ye wanted to veto, Jiang Ziling said: "We have storage props, which can carry a large amount of water, and water is not a problem." ”

Jiajia immediately said: "Since the water source problem has been solved, then we should go and find out first, this curse can make Loulan Kingdom perish, it must be more than what we know on the surface."

Let a country perish, a snake king is definitely not enough. If there are too many of them, even if there are Jiang Ziling and them, I am afraid that they will protect themselves at most. ”

Hearing Jiajia's conjecture, everyone no longer objected, in case they really had to be chased and killed by a large group of snake kings, it would really be dead.

Ye Muchen smiled, this Jiajia is really a super assist, but this woman is really smart, the snake king is indeed not one, but 14, and can also summon a large number of Qom snakes.

Later, after everyone found nothing, they returned to the camp, and after walking for a few days, they were very tired, and they were going to go back to recuperate first and then go to the Sun Tomb.

Fortunately, the Sun Tomb has long been discovered by the archaeological team, and it is recorded on the road map over there, and the three experts all know the location, so there is no need to say anything.

After that, these scholars took pictures of all the corners here, and Guo Ye and the others went back first.

As a result, they climbed out of the temple gate, and the sound of stone slabs being smashed open inside, followed by Professor Liang's cries for help.

But the sound disappeared halfway through, and everyone was shocked, Ye Muchen and Xiao Fei rushed inside almost at the same time.
