Cao Zheng walked in front, the stone road in front of him was about 1.5 meters wide, fortunately, it was still relatively spacious, due to the limited irradiation distance of the searchlight, the end of the stone road could not be seen at a glance, in order to get out of this place as soon as possible, everyone subconsciously accelerated the pace, at this time the stone road behind him also came from time to time A few loud noises, and everyone always had lingering palpitations about everything that happened before, but I didn't expect that the monster was still chasing them now.

Interestingly, on the way out of the stone road, the animal bones of chickens and rabbits were found, and Professor Wang's two students also had an argument about this, but they jokingly argued whether it was the burial goods of the tomb owner, or the food brought in by the grave diggers, in fact, these animals are indeed related to the previous tomb robbers, but they are only used to test whether there is poisonous gas inside when opening the robbery hole, even if there is no poisonous gas, it will let fresh air enter the tomb, so that the air in the tomb can circulate, this method is simple and effectiveThere are some things that are quite admired by experts and are now widely used in archaeology, after all, the situation in the tomb is very complex and changeable. Professor Wang watched the two students forget about their previous life and death dangers, knowing that they were just trying to cheer themselves up.

"We're at the exit, so don't touch it." Cao Zheng's reminder interrupted the discussion between the two young people, and Cao Zheng thought to himself, "It seems that the length of this stone road just now is about two hundred meters, and it has passed a corner on the way, even if the light source is long enough, it is impossible to see, although nothing strange happened in the whole process, but it is still necessary to be cautious." His mind turned to look at Wang Jie behind him.

Everyone looked at the burial chamber in front of them, what appeared in front of them was a square burial chamber, round corners, the dome roof, the mural on the top was also incomplete, and the height of the dome was about three or four meters, the area of the tomb was not very large, roughly estimated to be fifty or sixty square meters, there were carved stone pillars in the corners of the four walls, which were taller than the stone pillars of the previous burial chamber, and there was no crack around the stone pillars, but the west wall of the main burial chamber had been destroyed, and the east wall still had remnants, The remnants of the tomb wall are vaguely painted in relief, but with the perennial air circulation, these frescoes have been blurred, and only a few colors can catch the eye. The young woman on the side knew that the reason why this happened was because the so-called robbery cave had existed for a hundred years.

Professor Zhang, an expert in mural paintings, sighed: "It seems that the life and deeds of the tomb owner cannot be known one by one, which is important for the research and development of history... It will be a pity again. After speaking, he wiped the corner of his eye with his hand.

"This is also something that can't be helped, Lao Zhang, don't do too much emotion." Professor Wang looked helplessly around the tomb.

There is a back room at the back of the coffin, and there is a side room on both sides, the one located in the east is called the east side room, and the one located in the west is called the west side room, and the ground of the east side room is about 15 cm higher than the ground of the main burial chamber. There is also a passage between the west side room and the main burial chamber as the east side room. The floor of the west chamber is about 10 centimeters higher than that of the main burial chamber. As for why this is the case, according to Professor Wang's speculation, it may be because the east side room is more noble than the west side room.

"This must be the real main burial chamber, right?" A young man squeezed to Professor Wang's side and asked.

Professor Wang nodded, looked at the coffin in front of him and said, "That coffin is the evidence." ”

And Cao Zheng also determined that this is the basis for the main burial chamber, also because the coffin located in the center of the burial chamber, the whole coffin towers above the raised stone platform, which is the so-called tomb bed. Cao Zheng glanced at Wang Jie on the side, and led everyone to walk unhurriedly to both sides of this coffin, Cao Zheng glanced at the coffin in front of him, and then took out a brush from his pocket, gently swept a few times on the top of the coffin, looked up and said: "This is made of golden silk nan wood, although the size of this coffin is not big, but it is also extremely precious, comparable to gold, I think the reason why this coffin is still there, presumably the tomb robbers who came in before have been buried here one by one." ”

In ancient times, the golden silk nanmu is the wood of the emperor, as the main wood of the house and the palace, such as the Taihe Palace, the Jinluan Palace, the Forbidden City and other buildings, the main wood is the golden silk nanmu, and the many advantages of the golden silk nanmu is also an important reason for being called the national wood.

The biggest feature of the golden silk nanmu is that it has strong corrosion resistance, and it can not rot for thousands of years when buried in the ground, and its nanmu can emit a faint fragrance, and the aroma can repel mosquitoes. The strong corrosion resistance makes it resistant to the erosion of wood decay fungus and termites, and can resist the erosion of marine microorganisms. Therefore, in ancient times, many of the utensils used by the royal family were basically made of golden silk nanmu, and even the coffins used after death were made of golden silk nanmu, but it is not that it will ensure that the corpse will not decay, but that the wood itself has the effect of slowing down decay.

Several professors also know that the golden silk nanmu in front of them is extremely precious, not to mention that the coffin of the golden silk nanmu is painted with golden ornaments, although the lines of the ornamentation are simple and clumsy, but the things depicted are lifelike, giving people the feeling of smooth and elegant and soft, soft and rigid, showing the vitality and rhythm that it does not have.

As an expert in murals, Professor Zhang couldn't wait to take out his magnifying glass, under the illumination of the searchlight, bowed his body and studied the coffin, but Professor Zhang shook his head again and again while looking at it, the coffin seems to be red lacquered mahogany, the color on it looks more ordinary, the strange thing is that the pattern on the coffin, if you don't rub the lines on the entire coffin, it must be impossible to know the mystery in a short time.

Professor Zhang immediately put away his tools, took off his eyes and wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Although I don't understand what is depicted on it for the time being, it must be related to Tibetan Buddhism. It is not surprising that Professor Zhang associated the tombs of the Tangut kings with Vajrayogini, the concubine of the three great deities of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism.

As early as the late Tang Dynasty, after the occupation of Liangzhou, Tibetan Buddhism gradually spread to the Hexi Corridor. After the founding of the Western Xia, with Yinchuan, Ningxia as the national capital, and Liangzhou in Hexi as the auxiliary capital, Tibetan Buddhism was more widely developed in Hexi and other Western Xia ruled areas under the promotion of Li Deming, Li Yuanhao, father and son, the founders of the Western Xia Kingdom. Among them, the Vajra Haimu Temple was built at this time, and the Vajra Haimu Temple is also the temple of the Xixia National Teacher.

After listening to Professor Zhang's words, Cao Zheng and the others were about to find the location of the thief cave, when a voice came from the location of the back room: "That's what you guys are talking about!" As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Miss Ye's position. Because Miss Ye's position was blocking the things in front of her, Cao Zheng and the others had to quickly walk over.

Cao Zheng was the first to ask, "What is it?" Miss Ye didn't react in the slightest, and Cao Zheng walked straight up without waiting for her to answer, pushing the searchlight on his head and looking at the place in front of Miss Ye.

In the middle of this backroom, there is a black and gold statue, about two meters high, resembling a Buddha statue, the reason why it seems to be a Buddha statue at a glance is because its base resembles a blooming lotus flower, giving people a sacred and inviolable majesty.

The front of the whole statue is a female head on one side and a pig's head on the other, showing a female figure. Its eyes are wide open, its fangs clenching its lower lip, and it looks like it is hugging each other, as if it is hugging something, and its body is either red or yellow except for the large area covered by black and gold.

Not long after Cao Zheng left the coffin, several people in the team also hugged around this statue, this statue has nine arms, eight hands holding various magic weapons, one arm has no object in his hand, it seems that there was something originally, but it is gone, there is one hand holding a knife, one arm holding a heavenly staff, and the rest of the arms are strangely shaped, making it difficult to distinguish.

Cao Zheng stepped back, looked up and saw the head of the statue in front of him in the shape of a flame, with angry teeth and angry eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, facing everyone with a plausible evil smile, which looked like a ghost on closer inspection. It wears ornaments such as bracelets, arm bracelets, and ankle bracelets. The left leg is bent on one foot, the right leg is suspended and bent in the air, the body is writhing and dancing, the breasts are thin and the waist is thin, and the whole body is naked. The chest is densely covered with jewels, wearing a necklace with a human head, and there seems to be a "corpse" under his feet, Cao Zheng squatted down and took a closer look, the "corpse" under the right foot of the statue is a little similar to the monster in the front room.

Before Cao Zheng got up, Professor Wang, who was standing on the other side, had already his eyes lit up with excitement, and he smiled again and again: "This is a statue of Vajra's mother!" And Professor Shi and Professor Zhang on the side were also excited enough, perhaps because they had been suppressed for too long, and in the face of the damaged tomb murals and the existence of tomb robbers, they thought they would be disappointed, but they never thought that they would be able to have this harvest now.
