Just as Xiao Zifeng was thinking to himself, the second uncle and the man were also missing. Xiao Zifeng didn't know what order to arrange the stone monuments in, and they were dazzling in the sunlight. It's just that there is a stone tablet with a height of one zhang standing on the outermost layer, and the words "stone forest" are engraved on it with a seal, which is very strange to see. But to keep up, there is no other way but to pass through the stone forest. Xiao Zifeng gritted his teeth and stepped into the stone forest.

After entering the stone forest, Xiao Zifeng secretly complained, the stone tablets here are all white marble, the general size, and there are strange words engraved on it. The stone forest is like a maze array, I don't know where the way out, Xiao Zifeng walked for a long time, and he didn't get out of the stone forest, he wanted to go back, but he couldn't find the way he came, and he was trapped in the stone forest. Suddenly, a gust of wind rolled up in the stone forest, the clouds and mist dispersed, and a voice cried as if it came from the ground.

I don't know how long I ran, but the terrible sound gradually disappeared. Xiao Zifeng lay on the stone tablet and only gasped, secretly glad that he ran fast. But the silence around was a little scary, and a cold hand suddenly put on Xiao Zifeng's shoulder. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and it was pitch black in front of him, and he fell down in a groggy state......

When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Zifeng found that he was lying on the bed, and the second uncle sat on the edge of the bed, smiling and asking kindly: "Zifeng, you finally woke up, you have slept too long this night!" ”

"Second uncle, did you go to the stone pile just now?" Xiao Zifeng, who had just woken up, was thinking about the stone forest in his heart, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and asked.

"No, Zifeng, what are you dreaming about, you always call the name of your second uncle." The second uncle smiled even brighter.

"Dreaming? Maybe it's a dream. Xiao Zifeng scratched his ears suspiciously.

The next morning, Xiao Zifeng was awakened by a noise in his sleep, he quietly put on his slippers, pushed open the window with his immature arms and looked down, and found that the housekeeper Niu Sanzheng was sneaking around, and then walked to the direction of the strange garden. Behind the cow is a group of strange people with hammerheads.

In the second year, his father Mu Dingming led a team to Mobei archaeology, and half a year later, the archaeological institute announced that Mu Dingming's archaeological team was missing. lost the pillars, the Mu family's family business also plummeted, and the Mu Mansion was seized by Commander Hong, but it was bought by the second uncle Zhao Shangji in just a month, but it was no longer called Mu Mansion, but Zhao Mansion.

Mu Zifeng always felt that the "archaeological team" and the secret of the forbidden land had something to do with the rise and fall of the Mu family, so he made up his mind and chose the unpopular profession of archaeology.

Thinking back on the ups and downs of life over the years, Mu Zifeng couldn't help but shake his hands, "Smack." With a crisp sound, the fine brush in Mu Zifeng's hand fell to the ground, he raised his head and squinted, the searchlight made by the United States of America in the main burial chamber made him a little dazzled.

"You are a broken baby, clumsy, Professor Cheng is probably old and confused, how can such an important hall let a raw melon seed come down." A medium-height, chubby, bald man who was cleaning up the funeral pottery said contemptuously.

The archaeological team called the ancient tombs "Tangzi", but no one could tell the reason, and they all said that they had always called it that. The bald head who ridiculed Mu Zifeng just now was Xu Weiguo, the deputy leader of the Institute of Archaeology, who was nicknamed "Xu Daring" because of his boldness in the archaeological team.

As Li Yanjin's master, "Xu Daring" was very dissatisfied with Mu Zifeng's "superiority", he felt that Cheng Qingyun deliberately suppressed him, and it was not good to directly find the team leader to get angry, so he could only sarcastically satirize Mu Zifeng's relation. Mu Zifeng knew that "Xu Daring" didn't really have an opinion about himself, but took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with the team leader Professor Cheng.

"Xiao Mu, sharpen the knife and don't chop firewood, if you're too tired, go out and rest for a while." Yi Tingfang, who was cleaning up the paintings on the stone pillar, asked with concern. Yi Tingfang, who is just 40 this year, is the only female professor at the Institute of Archaeology and the only female professor in the archaeological field of the Republic of China. When some young comrades in the institute encountered problems that they didn't understand, she took the initiative to help answer questions, and everyone affectionately called her "Sister Yi".

"Sister Yi, I'm fine, I'm just a little thirsty, just drink some water." Mu Zifeng took off his mask as he spoke, took out the water bottle on his backpack, and thought to himself compared to his life in those years, what was this bit of anger!

The ancient tomb has been excavated for more than half a month, although there are many cultural relics unearthed, the main tomb chamber, the left and right ear chambers have also been cleaned out, but the most critical thing has not been found - the coffin of the tomb owner. At this time, the archaeological team's morale was fluctuating, and some people even thought that the excavations these days were a blind man lighting a lamp - a waste of effort.

Although no coffin of the tomb owner has been found, no written records have been found. However, according to the unearthed cultural relics, murals and the scale of the sealed soil, the archaeological team can basically judge the top, this is a tomb of the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom.

This is also the first time that Mu Zifeng has participated in the excavation of such a large-scale ancient tomb, if it weren't for Professor Cheng's strength, he would still be studying in the institute, so Mu Zifeng worked hard and devoted himself to the excavation work.

has survived diligently for most of the month, and if you are lazy for a while at this time, it is really not cost-effective, which not only embarrasses Professor Cheng, but more importantly, gives "Xu Daring" the excuse to attack Professor Cheng's cronyism. Mu Zifeng, who drank water, looked at the "results" of the past few days with satisfaction, and the relief in front of him had basically been cleaned up, from left to right, a total of four pieces, each of which was about one meter long and wide. When he was in college, he was interested in all kinds of murals and reliefs, because the murals and reliefs may not only contain ancient characters, but also often reveal the story of the tomb owner's life.

The first piece from the left, Mu Zifeng gave a name called "Northern Envoy Meeting", which should be the scene of the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom receiving the envoy, carved in the Ming Hall of the Great Xia Kingdom, two close attendants are lined up on both sides, two wearing felt hats, holding talismans, and half-bending to worship, and it is the emperor himself who sits in the hall to accept the worship.

Mu Zifeng knew that the Great Xia Kingdom was a Sinicized Hun dynasty that dominated the northwest during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the later period of the Great Xia Kingdom, it was repeatedly attacked by the Rouran Empire in Mobei, and finally destroyed the Great Xia Kingdom, the capital Luchuan was razed to the ground, and all the people of the Great Xia Kingdom were taken to Mobei as slaves, and the Great Xia Kingdom disappeared in the long river of history. This group of tomb robbers can find an imperial tomb in the undulating mountains of Heishui County, and they are really not idle.

This envoy is obviously dressed as a Hu person, but when he meets the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, he is only half-bent, indicating that this envoy comes from the Hu Empire, which is more powerful than the Great Xia, and 1,500 years ago, it was the Rouran Empire that dominated the north of the desert.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom was built by the Qiang people in the northwest, after years of sinicization, it has long been clear that etiquette, righteousness and shame have been made, and the emperor carved the arrogant Rouran envoy in his tomb, which is really strange.

The second from the left, there are two large armies carved, of which the team on the left is waving a banner with a goshawk painted on it, and the general in front is clearly dressed as a bearded person. The team on the right is holding a banner with the character Dou Da Xia embroidered on it, which is clearly the army of the Great Xia Kingdom. The two forces did not fight, but headed towards a mountain range with tents looming under it.

"This should be the alliance of Great Xia and Rouran, I don't know where to march?" Mu Zifeng muttered to himself.

Seeing the third relief, Mu Zifeng was taken aback, the content of this relief had been basically cut off. Could this be the tomb robbers deliberately removed, but the tomb robbers want gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, this relief is very troublesome to cut, and it is really unbelievable to cut this third piece alone.

Looking at the fourth relief, Mu Zifeng couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, a giant eagle, opening its mouth and spitting out countless poisonous snakes, was biting the alliance of Great Xia and Rouran, and layers of snake skin fell on the ground. The coalition soldiers fled in defeat and trampled on each other. During the reign of ancient emperors, the construction of mausoleums began. This relief was carved with the consent of the emperor, and the emperor must have had a huge impact on his political career by bringing this incident to the mausoleum.

But what surprised Mu Zifeng even more was that this monster with the head of the eagle head flying snake reminded him of the second nightmare:
