The front hall of the temple was not dedicated to any gods, which was also very different from the usual style of Zoroastrianism.

However, the flames of this huge tomb also made the temple very bright.

The expedition team looked around, and there were many strange murals painted on the walls, and the contents contained in these murals were extremely complex.

Although it has been burned by the flames, the paintings on the walls are even clearer.

According to Professor Jia, these murals are made of natural mineral pigments, so after the flames are burned, the color is more precipitated.

In the murals, there are Xuanniao, Xingchen, Fuxi Nuwa, and fairy Fangshi in the tomb of the Han people.

There are also Hu people and gods with blond hair and curly hair in the murals of the Western Regions.

Among them, there are many Buddhist totem murals, such as "Hu Shang's Theft".

On the screen, there is a group of Hu merchants, as soon as they turn the mountain, robbers with knives rush out of the valley, and the merchants are frightened, showing panic and begging looks.

This is the story of the Mahayana Buddhism "Myoho-Lotus Sutra", also known as the "Lotus Sutra", which was widely spread in ancient India, Nepal and Central Asia. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the folk called him the "Guanyin Sutra"

It was translated into Chinese by Kumarosh, a master translator from the country of Qiuci.

And this story is to tell that when Hu Shang met a robber, as long as he recited the scriptures with peace of mind, he could survive this catastrophe, so as to praise the strength of Buddhism.

It is not difficult to see that the city-state of Qiuci is indeed the meeting place of Eastern and Western civilizations on the Silk Road.

Even religion is a multi-faceted mixture, not so much a fusion of what is more like a hodgepodge.

Everyone else was looking at the stories depicted on the murals, even though the Han murals were older than the others, and the pigments used were not as colorful as those of other genres.

However, in terms of attainments and aesthetic and romantic artistic conception, it has long far surpassed the painting methods of other sects, with simple brush and ink line outlines, with two or three natural colors, the melodious connotation, and the romantic reverie of the fairy world, so that the scientific expedition members present are all admired.

Lu Jiayi looked at the Han murals and was stunned for a while. One wall happened to be full of words about Tocharian Row, and even Professor Jia only took pictures to record it, while she stood under the stone wall and stared at it.

Because Lu Jiayi is a genius who can directly read Tocharian Rowen.

Xue Pu stepped forward with doubts, and listened to her mouth secretly reciting language similar to English and Russian, and her face was full of thoughts.

The firelight shone on her innocent face, and there was a focused charm in her eyes.

Looking at the horizontal rows of fire-spitting rows written like tadpoles on the stone wall, Xue Pu asked, "What did you find?" ”

"It is a drama called "Maitreya's Meeting", which mainly describes the extraordinary life of the future Buddha Maitreya." Lu Jiayi said.

"It turned out to be a religious literature, what clues are there?" Xue Pu asked.

Lu Jia's face was sad, and he pointed to the last paragraph of Tochar Luowen: "The content of this book is roughly the same as the content of the "Maitreya Meeting Record" unearthed by Yanqi that year. It's just that there is such a passage at the end. ”

Following Lu Jiayi's instructions, Xue Pu looked at it intently, and he didn't recognize the words.

And Lu Jiayi translated: "This sentence is written that the beginning of the world is a fire, and the end of the world is also a fire." All souls will live forever in the sacred fire, the fire will be extinguished, and the darkness will be forever..."

"Eternal life in the sacred fire... The fire will be extinguished..."Xue Pu muttered as he read the sentence translated by Lu Jiayi: "What is this written?" Doctrine? Or is it a creation myth? ”

Lu Jiayi shook his head and said, "I don't know, although I can read through the Fire-throwing Rownwen, I can't understand the details and deep meanings in it." ”

Zoroastrianism believes that the beginning of the world is a fire of life, and the flame illuminates the darkness, and then there is light and darkness, good and evil, life and death.

However, the fire was about to be extinguished, and the darkness was eternal, as if it was telling something terrible, and Xue Pu couldn't think of any answer for a while.

Obviously, this is a text with religious overtones, and the erudite Professor Jia Wenwen also came up with the words light, darkness, existence, death, good, and evil from the words on this stone wall a few minutes later.

Who knew that when the scientific expedition team was recording the cultural relics, two loud noises accompanied by great impact shook the entire temple.

Lu Jia stumbled in a flash, and was supported by Xue Pu.

Suddenly, the feet of the people shook together.

Not good! The exit to the temple's apse is also sealed!

With Wang Xiaodong's shout, I saw that two more broken dragon stones were smashed down, blocking the water in the temple.

Ahem, ahem! Ahem, ahem!

The temple is dry all year round, and the smoke and dust inspired by the boulder instantly fill the entire temple.

In the smoky environment, Zhou Yunfeng waved his hand and fanned the smoke and dust: "Ahem, cough, cough!" It's so choking! ”

The smoke was so thick that people couldn't open their eyes.

Suddenly, Zhou Yunfeng's feet slipped and almost fell, because he was wearing waterproof shoes for mountaineering, the black liquid did not soak and penetrate his shoes. He shouted, "Big old iron is not good! You see! What is this flowing out? Is it black? ”

Zhou Yunfeng covered his nose and pointed to the crack in the wall, only to see a black viscous liquid flowing from the wall like a spring, the liquid was viscous and slippery, and it was indeed like black essence.

At the same time, a foul smell permeated the air...

The black liquid, flowing little by little, Professor Jia looked stunned, pushed his glasses, and gently touched the black essence flowing out with his hand.

Xue Pu was taken aback: "Professor, stop!" Don't touch it! ”

Where did the old scholar have time, he had already rubbed the black viscous liquid on his fingertips, which was very lubricated: "It's oil... Comrades are oil! ”

The scientific expedition team fried the pot instantly, how can there be oil in the ground!?

It's not good, there is an open fire in this room, and once it comes into contact with oil, won't everyone become a barbecue?

Look at the black liquid that billowed out of the walls, and the everlasting lamps that weren't splashing sparks.

Once the two merge, the consequences are unimaginable.

This oil was called "stone grease" by the ancients, and it has been used as fuel for a long time, although it is not large in scale, but it is indeed recorded in the literature.

The burning temperature of oil can exceed 800 or even 1,000 degrees, which is exactly the temperature at which the stone can produce kiln changes.

Many kings of the Western Regions buried their graves under oil fields to prevent tomb robbers from digging their graves.

Once a tomb robber breaks in, oil and lantern technology are used to turn the tomb into a sea of fire to prevent tomb robbers.

Professor Jia is very calm, he has many years of experience in geological exploration, and his experience of many scientific expeditions has also made him the reason why he was selected by the Sakura family to accompany the team.

He thought that Xue Pu had no experience, so he reacted violently and comforted: "Comrade Xiao Xue, don't worry, don't be afraid of "oil". We just don't let the flame stick to it... That's it! ”

As he spoke, Professor Jia suddenly clenched his throat with both hands, his face turned red and painful, he staggered a few steps, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

Then he stumbled a few steps.

Xue Pu and Chen Haopeng were going to support him, only to see Professor Jia Wenwen's face pale, and his eyes were full of panic and shock.

Before the scientific expedition team came to the rescue, the old professor spit out a mouthful of blood, fell straight down, and died on board.

He's dead...

The scientific expedition team was shocked, Professor Jia, who was still talking and laughing just now, died so inexplicably?

Even Xue Pu, a spiritual detective who is accustomed to seeing life and death, can't help but sigh in his heart.

Looking at Professor Jia's blue face, Sakura Momoko panicked, became more and more afraid, and hurriedly skimmed Zhou Yunfeng to hold Xue Pu's arm and asked, "Xue Sang!" Xue Sang! What's going on! ”

Xue Pu frowned and said: "Everyone, be careful that what we see is not oil, but a highly toxic "Nirvana Cream" made by oil and various poisonous insects and poisons..."
