Chapter 60: The Black Gate
Xu Ming stared at the beads of his eyes and said dumbfoundedly, "This ...... Who built it? ”
Qiu Tian saw that Gao Qin and the others were too surprised, and stood in place, he took the camera, and said, "Everyone, let's collect some information first." Only then did everyone come to their senses, and Nanyang instructed Ah Hu: "Get more lighting equipment." Ah Hu turned and walked out of the house. The crowd illuminated every corner of the room with flashlights and examined them carefully.
There was a big black door on the wall in front of the house, which looked very strange, and Zhou De walked to the big black door, he seemed to be very frightened. Zhou De said with a serious face: "You must not touch the beads in the crystal cabinet and the black door!" ”
Soon, Ah Hu came back with two searchlights and illuminated the room. Gao Qin walked to the corner and carefully looked at the cultural relics on the ground, while Xu Ming took out his camera and kept taking pictures. Nanyang looked at the house full of precious cultural relics, and ordered the guard officers on the ground with a communicator: "Increase the security level of the perimeter by one level." ”
Xiao Gang continued to receive real-time images and photos from the underground in the command room, as an old archaeologist, looking at the exquisite and precious cultural relics, he was already very surprised, this will be a major discovery in the history of Chinese archaeology, he can't wait to go underground to see it in person.
Zhou De didn't seem to care about those dazzling and charming devices at the moment, but anxiously checked the floor and walls of the room, he was looking for any hidden mechanisms here.
They had to scrutinize the room and found nothing unusual except for the valuable artifacts.
Xiao Gang said, "Everyone, come up first and take a rest." The crowd took some more pictures, retreated, and left some surveillance equipment to test the house.
Everyone returned to the ground, Nanyang looked at his watch, and in a blink of an eye it was noon, and he said, "Everyone take a rest first, and then have lunch." ”
Everyone went to the disinfection room for disinfection, and after taking a bath, they came to the command room, Xiao Gang controlled his excitement and said, "Everyone has worked hard!" "The military has prepared a drink, everyone drank some drinks, Gao Qin and Xu Ming, as young scholars, are full of physical strength and energy, the busyness of the morning did not make them feel tired, Zhou De is already a little tired, he is wearing a chemical protective suit for the first time, and with these advanced equipment, very nervous.
The scholars began to discuss, mainly discussing the age of the construction of the ancient ruins, the identity of the owners of the ancient ruins, etc., but there was no conclusion, after all, there is not much information at hand. However, all experts have determined that the cultural relics found so far are all replicas made of gold and jade in the pre-Tang style.
At the same time, Gao Qin proposed: "The cultural relics found so far are all of a strong religious nature, all of them are ritual weapons in the sect, and this ancient site may be an ancient religious site?" ”
Xiao Gang said: "There is a problem with the golden gossip map on the floor of the house. ”
Everyone looked carefully at the photos taken, and the pattern of this golden gossip map was indeed a little weird, and the details were different from the usual gossip maps. Everyone thought about it for a while, but they couldn't figure it out. Xiao Gang said: "At present, the cultural relics excavated in the ancient ruins are all religious, and it seems that there is a certain relationship with the place where Master Zhou cultivates immortals. ”
Although everyone was skeptical about the meaning of the ancient characters on the gold medal translated by Master Zhou, they could not find a reason to refute it now. It seems that this ancient site is really an ancient religious site.
Xu Ming said: "Could it really be that this is really a place where people cultivate to become immortals? I don't think so. ”
Xiao Gang said, "Oh, Xiao Xu, what do you think?" ”
Xu Ming said: "Mr. Xiao, my opinion is still immature, I think that this may be a treasure palace built by an ancient person who is keen on feudal superstition, because the cultural relics here are imitations made of gold, not originals. Perhaps this man was so rich that he could not find the real originals, so he made them with gold and kept them. If it is a place built by a religious organization, it will definitely use the original, even if it is an imitation, it is difficult to have the financial resources to make these valuable imitations with pure gold, and it is even more difficult to have the manpower and material resources to build such a large-scale building, the precious cultural relics found in this room alone are already priceless, and in Chinese history, there are two religions of Buddhism and Taoism supported by the emperor to compete with the momentum here. ”
Xiao Gang said: "Xiao Xu, do you mean that a monument of this scale was built with national resources at the behest of the ruler or the powerful person of a certain dynasty?" He continued: "But there has never been such a palace, mausoleum, temple or similar structure in the history of our country." And, so far, no information has been found that indicates the age or background of its construction. ”
Xu Ming said: "Mr. Xiao, my opinion is like this, this is probably built by a powerful person of a certain dynasty, who may be very obsessed with superstitious legends, so he collected treasures and built such a place. If it weren't for the emperor and the general, who would have the financial and material resources to build such an underground palace? Mr. Xiao, you know that even if you take out a few treasures from the Palace Museum, they may not be as good as the cultural relics found here! Feathering and ascending to immortal? Who can cultivate to become an immortal? ”
Xiao Gang asked, "Xiao Gao, what about your opinion?" ”
Gao Qin said: "I don't think it's clear what kind of building this ancient site is. I somewhat agree with my brother's opinion, this is not like a pure sect site, each cultural relic has a different style, very unified, how can there be such a religion? ”
Qiu Tian suddenly said, "Researcher Qiu, what do you think?" ”
Qiu Tian seemed to have expected him to ask such a question, and his answer surprised everyone: "I think what Miss Gao and Mr. Xu said is very reasonable, but I feel that this ancient ruin, as Master Zhou said, may be a place where the ancients cultivated to become immortals." Ms. Gao said that these relics are different in style, not like the ritual objects of the same religion, but I think they have one thing in common. ”
Xiao Gang asked curiously, "Oh? Please speak. ”
Qiu Tian said: "Although I don't know the use of these cultural relics, I feel that they all have a kind of evil spirit. ”
Xu Ming sneered and said: "Even if the shape of these cultural relics is a little weird and indeed evil, it can't be said that this is a place to seek immortals." The feather ascension to immortality pursued by the ancients is a matter of upright sages, how can it be a strange crooked way in ancient times? If there is evil qi everywhere, it should be cultivated into a demon. ”
Qiu Tian lowered his head and said, "This ...... What the ancients thought, how can we think of it? ”
Xu Ming said: "We are scientists, everything must be based on evidence, what is the use of relying on feelings? Researcher Qiu, where is the reliability of your baseless guesses? How can it be scientific? My opinion is that this is a treasure palace. ”
Zhou De snorted and said coldly: "If you lose your keen sense and bold judgment, what is the difference between archaeologists and those nerds who read it?!" ”
Xiao Gang saw that the atmosphere of the discussion meeting was about to change, and hurriedly said: "Hehe, don't be in a hurry, let's talk slowly." It's good to have different opinions, and only by expressing their own opinions can we find the truth. The investigation has just begun, and our task is to find out the situation in the ancient ruins first, and as for the comprehensive investigation, there will be follow-up experts to study it, and then the experts will have time to study it well. The research on this room is put on hold for a while, and let's move on to the next step. He then asked, "Xiao Gao, did you inspect that room just now, are there any risk factors?" ”
Gao Qin shook his head and said, "No, we have checked, this room should be very safe, there are no traps." ”
Xiao Gang said to Nanyang: "Mr. Nanyang, we can transport this batch of cultural relics in the house out first and strictly protect them." ”
Xu Ming said: "Okay, let's open the black door in the house as soon as possible and move on, there will be more and more clues." ”
When Zhou De heard Xu Yang mention the black door, he suddenly went crazy and said, "No one is allowed to touch the black door!" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, thinking why did Master Zhou say this? They saw Zhou De's nervous expression, and there seemed to be a fear beating in his heart. Everyone thought: This black door looks ordinary, is there any danger? So much so that it scared Master Zhou like this.
Xu Ming snorted and said in a strange tone: "Master Zhou, you are always so nervous, what's wrong with this black door?" If you open it, will there be demons and monsters running out of it? ”
Zhou De trembled, his eyes were blank, and he didn't speak, and he seemed very nervous. Xiao Gang thought that if the expedition team wanted to move forward and continue to explore the ancient ruins, they had to pass through the black gate, otherwise they would have to use tools to break through the wall and find another entrance, which would obviously increase the difficulty of the investigation. He said, "Xiao Gao, is there anything wrong with the Black Gate?" ”
Gao Qin also said strangely: "I...... I don't feel that way. Pointing to the photo taken on the screen, she said, "There is a button on the wall next to the black door, which seems to be a mechanism to open the door, but it ...... Master Zhou......"
Zhou De said: "This black door must not be moved casually!" ”
