Volume 1 The Ruins of the Immortal Mountain Chapter 73 The Village Tombs

After walking a short distance, I gradually felt a breeze blowing. A few of us were weird.

"What's the wind in this hole? All I know is that it's common for the wind to be at the entrance of the cave, but how far have we gone in, and why is it still windy? The jar muttered, disgruntled, for there was sand in his eyes.

I laughed and teased him: "Don't you always say that people with single eyelids don't get sand in their eyes?" Why are there so many double eyelids here, and you are only a single eyelid fan? And it's not good to rub it for a long time! ”

Tan kept rubbing his eyes while arguing with me: "I mean it's not easy to enter, I don't say it's not easy to enter, it's a matter of probability." This time it just caught up with me, what can I do? Besides, it's not easy for a single eyelid to get into the sand, but ...... The sand came in too...... It's not easy to get out ......."

As we continued deeper into the cave, the breeze slowly grew stronger and began to make noise. It didn't take long for it to turn into a strong wind, and it was hard for us to open our eyes.

"The wind here means that either the temperature has changed, or the air pressure has changed!" Hua Tianyu said to us with his hand covering his face.

Xu Yunshu also agreed with him: "I think most of the terrain ahead is complicated, which causes changes in air pressure, which will cause such a strong wind." ”

We walked a long way in the direction of the wind, and suddenly the wind opened up and the wind was much lighter. It was a huge circular cavern, much larger than anything we had seen before. And in addition to the road we walked when we came, there are many paths that connect here, and there are more than a dozen around the cave wall. And in the center of this cave is a circular hole, at least forty or fifty meters in diameter, I really don't know how this big hole was formed. But what surprised us the most was not the magic of nature, but the hundreds of coffins arranged in a circle around the hole.

Of course, the happiest people to see these coffins were Xu Yunshu and Wei Peng, who thought that there were no clues anymore, but now they saw hope again. As soon as they saw these coffins, they rushed straight up, and they guessed that these coffins were probably the inhabitants of the ruins.

These coffins are all made of wood, and the bottom is made of wood to form two tic-tac-toe frames on the ground to support the coffins. Not all of these coffins are intact, some of them have fallen to the ground and are broken, and some have even fallen apart, revealing the bones inside. But one thing I find strange is that although these coffins are somewhat damaged, most of them are scattered, and even if they are damaged, they fall in place and do not shift. But across the hole in the ground, the coffin opposite us was broken in pieces, not only the coffin was damaged, but it was scattered, and I don't know what had happened.

"Like the roadblock coffin at the entrance of the cave, these coffins are also made of nanmu, no wonder they can last for thousands of years without decaying." Wei Peng said excitedly.

Hearing Wei Peng say this, the altar immediately squatted down and picked up a piece of wood and knocked it: "Listen, listen, this movement, this is good wood!" If it weren't for the fact that this thing was too big and too troublesome, I really wanted to bring some back, how could I earn three melons and two dates...... But then again, the people here are really rich, and they all use nanmu coffins when they die...... Hey, poor ghost, didn't you tell me that in ancient times, only rich people or nobles used nanmu to make coffins? ”

"Big brother, this is an old forest in the deep mountains, there are many trees if there is nothing else, and the coffin they use nanmu to make coffins can only show that nanmu is abundant in this vicinity, and nothing else means anything!" As I spoke, I crouched down and picked up a piece. When I squatted, I suddenly couldn't feel the wind, almost in a state of no wind, and it seemed that the higher the place in this hole, the stronger the wind. No wonder these coffins can be preserved to such an extent under such strong winds in the cave, it turns out that this is the reason.

Xu Yunshu turned on the video recording function with her mobile phone, and recorded as she spoke: "There are about four or five hundred coffins here, and it is inferred that they should be the burial places of the residents of the previous ruins. These coffins are made of nanmu, the moss is thick, but the wood is still very hard, and although they are placed in a circle around the pit, the whole coffin group is arranged in a gossip arrangement. Due to the age, it is not possible to see the funeral sequence of these coffins and bones, and it is impossible to judge whether they died at the same time. Because there are no instruments, it can only be roughly inferred from the wood, style, and surface of the bones of the coffin that the deceased were from the same period. Now take samples of No. 1 and No. 2 and bring them back to study. With that, she put a piece of wood and a piece of bone in a special archaeological sample bag with gloves, waiting to be studied back.

Hearing Xu Yunshu say this, I also paid attention. These coffins were indeed divided into eight parts, and they were placed in the eight directions of the eight trigrams, but the dividing line between each direction was not obvious.

"Come and see! There's a stone monument here! There's a word on it! "Tanzi and I felt that it was very boring to look at Xu Yunshu and their archaeology, so we searched around the entire coffin group separately to see if there were any clues left by the glasses. Before he could go far, he heard the jar shouting from there.

As soon as the sound of the jar came out, we all immediately ran to him, and the two "archaeologists" were the fastest.

We ran to the stele that the altar said, and it was not really a stele at all, but a smooth stone that was connected to the mountain wall protruded, but there were many words written on it.

I took a flashlight and took a look at it, and found that I didn't know most of the words on it, but I had seen this font, and it was Xiao Seal. As soon as Xu Yunshu arrived, she threw the things in her hand directly to me: "Take it!" And she herself used her mobile phone to take a picture of the stele. This is a rule in archaeology, in the first time when cultural relics are found or cultural relics are unearthed, we must take pictures and videos, and do a good job of image data. This is because the cultural relics may appear to different degrees of discoloration, falling off, damage due to the effects of light, oxidation, etc., and the position of the cultural relics unearthed is also very important, once the artificial movement is carried out, it will destroy the first original form of the cultural relics when they are unveiled, so that the archaeological research lacks evidence, and people can not get a glimpse of the original appearance. Taking the most famous Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang as an example, most of the terracotta figurines were colored when they were first unearthed. Since most of these colors are derived from minerals, they have been in contact with the air for too long after being excavated, resulting in oxidation and have all fallen off. If people want to see the original appearance of the terracotta warriors and horses, they can only look through the photos left when they were unearthed.
