Professor Zhang put on gloves, touched these stone bricks, and said strangely: "This kind of stone is completely different from the stone commonly used in Khotan, and it seems to come from the Central Plains." ”

"Whoever has nothing to do to go to the Central Plains to transport stones in order to build a tomb, the emperor will not do this."

Jiajia's face was surprised, the ancient transportation capacity was poor, and there was almost no such thing as transporting stones, let alone transporting them here from the Central Plains, this kind of thing was completely fantastical, and it was generally taken from the nearest material.

At this time, someone shouted: "How can there be the sound of running water, this sarcophagus is leaking?" ”

"No, the water level here hasn't dropped, it's all dry."

"Do you hear running water, too?" The second man cried out.

Soon everyone here heard the sound of running water, Jiang Ziling frowned and said, "There is also the hissing sound of snakes in the sound of flowing water." ”

"Well, I heard that too. Ye Muchen, did you hear it when you came? Xiao Fei asked Ye Muchen for the first time, and he instinctively felt that Ye Muchen would know.

"I heard it once after I opened the sarcophagus, but I didn't hear it this time." Ye Muchen really didn't hear it, because he was already cursed and would not repeat the curse twice.

"Didn't you hear? Can this voice only be heard once? What does this mean? Jiajia said curiously.

"Could it be that there is an underground river next to here?" Someone asked.

"It's impossible, from the geology here, there can be no groundwater." Dr. Ku said.

"If there is groundwater, it is impossible to hear it only once and it will not be gone, and the sound of this flowing water is strange." Jiang Ziling frowned, looking at the water in the sarcophagus, she always felt that it might be related to the sarcophagus.

Knowing that it was not groundwater, everyone looked at the sarcophagus, only there was water here, but the water in this sarcophagus had not changed in any way, and there should be no sound of running water.

This strange situation made everyone nervous, after all, this is an ancient tomb, and the reincarnation knows that the appearance of such a thing as a curse is no longer possible, or some kind of supernatural creature may appear.

"Look at the mural, maybe there will be a hint." Jiajia said.

Professor Zhang had already finished reading the mural, and said excitedly: "There is no record of the curse or anything here, but here is the information of the ancient kingdom of Loulan?" You see? This building and mark represent the ancient country of Loulan, when there was a war in Loulan? The king of Loulan fled to a cemetery? Meet a mysterious woman, and the two fall in love at first sight.

Soon after? The war was won, and the king returned to his country? But he still misses this woman? He returned to the cemetery and found that the woman had died, leaving a girl by her side. The king brought the girl back to the palace and named her Princess Loulan? I dot on her very much.

Princess Loulan is very beautiful? attracted many suitors, and even the brave prince of Khotan, a brave man from the Western Regions, made a special trip to propose to the princess.

However, at this time, when Loulan was at war with the Rouran Khanate, in order to ensure peace between the two countries, Princess Loulan was forced to marry to the Khan of Rouran.

Princess Loulan heard that the prince of Khotan came to propose, and knew that he was a famous brave man in the Western Regions? Take the initiative to date the prince of Khotan and ask for help.

The prince of Khotan received a letter from a maid? came to the appointment, but mistakenly recognized a veiled woman as Princess Loulan? The two had a pleasant conversation, and they agreed to come here every night for a date.

Because women in the Western Regions wear veils before they get married? So it's hard to tell.

For convenience? The prince stayed in a nearby hotel? And the maid of this inn is the woman who is dating the prince. When the maid was pouring tea for the prince, the veil accidentally slipped off, and the prince was amazed by the maid's beauty, and the two got along frequently, so he had feelings for the maid.

After that, the prince spends time with the innkeeper during the day and the fake princess at night, but he doesn't know that the two are the same person.

Later, the Rouran Khanate broke the treaty and attacked Loulan, and the king invited the prince of Khotan to meet the enemy together, and won a great victory, and the prince became Loulan's benefactor, and the king promised the princess of Loulan to him in order to reward him.

On the wedding night, the prince unveiled the princess, but found that it was not Princess Loulan who dated him every night, so he left the princess and left alone.

The prince returns to the inn to find the maid and professes his affection to her, but the maid refuses. On the other hand, the princess also learned that the prince had confessed to the wrong person, and was very angry, and decided to take revenge on the prince.

She took the maid away and lied to the prince that she had put her to death, and the prince was so heartbroken that he committed suicide after martyrdom.

This is the end of the content of the mural, it seems that the prince of Khotan is a man of deep affection. But why did the prince's tomb disappear here? ”

"There is only one thing that makes me strange, this maid knows that the prince has confessed herself, and she dates him every night, and pretends to be a maid during the day to get along with him, and if she finally accepts the prince's courtship, it is nothing, but in the end she refuses, which is unreasonable.

It shows that this maid has another purpose, but the records here are limited, and I don't know what happened to this maid in the end, I don't think this is an end, but a beginning. Jiajia analyst said.

Dr. Gu shone his flashlight on the sarcophagus and looked at it for a long time before he said, "This is certainly not a tomb built by the Khotanese people, I have never seen this style before." ”

"It's really strange, this coffin is connected to the floor, the upper half looks like a capsule, and the bottom looks like a ding furnace." Professor Liang also nodded and said, he can be regarded as well-informed, he has seen all kinds of ancient tombs and coffins at home and abroad, but this is the first time he has seen it.

At this time, Jiang Ziling found the mechanism in the sarcophagus, and was lying next to him and was about to stretch out his hand, Dr. Gu immediately reminded: "Miss Jiang, you can't touch it, I don't know how the water quality is, whether it is poisonous or not, it is too dangerous to start rashly." ”

"This is an empty coffin, the corpse in the water is a projection, this water is only for a long time, and it is not poisonous."

Jiang Ziling stretched out her hand without hesitation, groped in the sarcophagus for a while, and was discovered by her, and immediately after pressing it, she heard the sound of the mechanism turning, as well as the sound of running water.

This time it was the water in the sarcophagus that was running away and was rapidly decreasing.

Everyone was curious, amazed at how far the ancient times could achieve such a technique, and the reincarnators were nervous, their hands on their weapons.

When the water ran out, the headless corpse disappeared with it.

At this time, the sarcophagus made a clicking sound, and the sarcophagus slowly turned half a circle, and then moved backwards by one meter, revealing the passage below.

Everyone was amazed to see that it was really just a reflection, and the body was gone.

Professor Zhang's student Lin Xiaofei exclaimed in surprise: "Is this ancient person's technique so powerful?" How do I think modern people may not be able to do this? ”

"We can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, and many exquisite techniques are even beyond our current understanding, but unfortunately with the river of time, these technologies have all disappeared. In fact, our archaeological work also hopes to excavate the lost technology from the river of time. ”

Professor Zhang lamented that he had seen too many lost technologies in his life, and he could only imagine the original technology of these items from the remaining objects, which is the true value of cultural relics.

Guo Ye used a flashlight to illuminate the dark passage below, and let the mercenaries he brought go down to explore the path first, and only after Xiao Fei and Jiang Ziling went down did he follow.

He had already seen the extraordinary nature of these people, the dangers they had encountered along the way, and he had already seen that these mercenaries alone could not protect themselves, and that in order to get to the end, they still needed to rely on these people with special skills.

That's why he took the initiative to invite these people to join, which has been seen by both scholars and Jiajia, so although the identities of these people are suspicious, for the sake of safety, none of them objected.

When Jiajia was about to go down, she kindly persuaded her: "Professor Zhang, I suggest that you stay here and guard, it must be very dangerous below, and I am worried that you will not be able to keep up." ”

"I know, I'm old, how long can I live, this experience is rare in my life, if I don't look at it, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Professor Zhang said.

Jiajia just kindly reminded her, didn't say anything, and walked down with her head down.

Professor Zhang's student Uxes said with a hint of nervousness, "Professor, I... I'll stay here, someone will keep watch. ”

"That's great, then you can record the murals here, and we can study them slowly when we go back."

Professor Zhang himself is old, he is not afraid of death, these students are still young, he is naturally happy to stay, he doesn't want to see his students stay in this desert forever like those people, otherwise he really can't explain when he goes back.

Chapter 85: A Tomb in a Tomb

"Hey, okay." Uks breathed a sigh of relief, he was scared, he didn't want to risk his life, if he had known that this trip was so dangerous, he would never come.

"If you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Lin Xiaofei patted him on the shoulder with a look of regret, he was bold and adventurous, and he would definitely not miss this kind of thing.

"I'd rather regret it for the rest of my life than end it now." Uks was very resolute.

Lin Xiaofei made a gesture of spreading his hands, hung his beloved camera around his neck, and then followed the professor down. Ye Muchen walked behind these scholars, and finally Du Deming's group.

After everyone came down, they took flashlights and shone around, and walked to the T-junction.

Yang Ying, the captain of the mercenary team, used a flashlight [for a long time] to shine on both sides, and let his people go to check separately. After the investigation, he said to Guo Ye: "There are traces of large snakes crawling in the passage here, which is very large, Guo Ye, our weapons may not be useful." ”

Everyone followed the traces of Yang Ying's finger and saw that there were really concave scratches on the ground, which were traces that could only be left by long-term gliding, and looking at the size, it was not difficult to deduce the size of this long strip of organisms.

Guo Ye's people all secretly gasped and didn't encounter anything, but their palms were sweating nervously.
