Chapter 91: Prince Gumo
Professor Chen was overjoyed, "Comrade Xiao Ning, Comrade Xiao Hu, you have made great contributions!" It seems that this trip to the Western Regions has been very rewarding! ”
As he spoke, Hao Aiguo led the students to the well, and the well fence and noose were destroyed at some point.
An Liman stopped everyone and said, "No, no, this is a divine well, Hu Da does not allow mortals to go down." ”
Hao Aiguo pulled An Liman aside and talked to him about the archaeological policy, "Old comrade, we excavate the ancient tombs for better protection, so that we can leave this cultural wealth to the people!"
Grave robberies in Xinjiang are now common, and even foreigners come to dig them secretly, and if the government does not come forward to protect them, these precious things will be lost. ”
An Li was stunned and couldn't say anything against it, so he could only wave his hand: "You can say whatever you want!" I hope Hu Da doesn't blame! ”
Ning An knew that there was no danger under the ancient tomb, so he let Hu Bayi go down, there was a water vein below Hu Bayi didn't dare to be careless, put on a gas mask, flashlight whistle, etc., and secretly hid the black donkey's hooves and touch the gold talisman.
Slowly sliding down the wall of the well, it is said that this ancient well is very old, and not long after Hu Bayi saw a stone door on the wall of the well.
Hu Bayi shouted loudly, and Ning An immediately stopped putting the rope, so that Hu Bayi just hung a little below the stone door.
There is a wolf skin attached to the stone door, and if you look closely, it is two meters long! Hu Bayi did not uncover the wolf's skin, because it requires a professional.
When you push it with your hand, you feel that the stone door is very thick, there is no stone lock and stone tether, although the gap is large, it cannot be pushed, and you need to use a crowbar to open it.
couldn't get in, so Hu Bayi asked Ning An to pull himself up, and then explained the situation underground in detail, which surprised Professor Chen.
"How can there be a mausoleum in the world that is built by a well, and there is such a mysterious passage?" Not only Professor Chen, but even Wang Fatzi was a little confused.
Anyway, I couldn't figure it out, so Wang Fatzi volunteered: "No matter what he is, just go in and take a look, you get me down, and I'll pry the stone door." ”
Ning An said: "Pull it down, let's go, you are too heavy, in case the rope is broken, we have to fish you out." ”
Ning An didn't worry about An Liman, so he asked Chu Jian to stare at him, and let the old man leave everyone in the desert and run away by himself.
Professor Chen also wanted to go down to see the wolf skin on the stone gate, but he was not in good health, so he told Ning An how to uncover the wolf skin, and it took Ning An about twenty minutes to do it.
Then there was Shimen, and Professor Chen asked, "Do you need someone to help?" Little nonsense said that it would take a crowbar to open. ”
Ning An smiled, Hu Bayi needed a crowbar, but he didn't need it at all, "No need, Professor Chen look at me!" ”
Ning An slapped his palm fiercely, and Professor Chen felt a tremble, and then the extremely heavy stone door slowly opened.
"That's amazing! Comrade Xiao Ning is simply a genius who does archaeology, would you like to learn archaeology with me, a bad old man? ”
Professor Chen had a love for talents, and Ning An was not easy to refuse, but Professor Chen went crazy after thinking of the trip to the ancient city of the original plot, so Ning An agreed...
Behind the door was a brick and stone road, spacious and neat, and the inside was unfathomably dark, Ning An beckoned Professor Chen and the others to come down, and pulled them into the road one by one.
Shirley Yang gave everyone a pill and said, "This pill can prevent hypoxia, and if you put on a gas mask, you will be foolproof." ”
The first five people to enter were Professor Ning An, Professor Chen, Shirley, Yang Hu Bayi, and Sa Dipeng, and no one dared to joke with their lives, so they all took over.
Walking about fifty meters inside, I passed through two stone gates, the last door was sealed tightly, and there were unknown beasts carved on the stone doors, and Ning An couldn't open the door with his bare hands.
After another effort, everyone finally entered a spacious and dry stone room, which was almost sixty or seventy meters long and wide, and three meters high, and the five people standing in it did not look cramped and crowded at all.
Hu Bayi asked, "Professor, what kind of place is this, why is it so strange?" ”
The space here is spacious, but the atmosphere is not relaxed, the white bones on the ground are all animals, extremely loose and broken when stepped on, and dozens of wooden pillars stand around to tie a dried human corpse, looking at the size of all men in the prime of life.
Although Ning An and the others felt that this place was very secret, they didn't feel afraid, and Sa Dipeng was so frightened that he couldn't even say anything when he saw so many dried corpses, and he didn't dare to stay away wherever the professor went.
Shirley Yang looked at the dried corpses and sighed, "It's so miserable, it's all martyrs or prisoners or something, it's so barbaric." ”
After reading it, Professor Chen said to everyone: "This is the custom of Gumo in ancient times, these people are criminals, tied to the desert to death of thirst, completely dried and placed here, and then slaughtered animals and drenched blood on the dried corpses!" ”
Ning An turned around, there were stone walls on all sides, and after a few taps, the back was obviously solid, and there would be no other space.
At this time, Hu Bayi pushed away all the broken bones on the ground, revealing a large stone slab with reliefs on the ground, and two pull rings at both ends.
Ning An and Professor Chen glanced at each other, and when they saw the latter nodding, they said, "Old Hu, let's work together to pull open the stone slab on the ground in a while, Shirley Yang, you throw a cold firework and illuminate it brightly." ”
Everything was done, and sure enough, under the ground was a burial chamber about the size of the top, with a square coffin in the middle.
However, the difference between this coffin and the mainland is too great, there is no decorative pattern, it is not rectangular, it is square, but it looks like a big box.
Professor Chen touched it with his hand and said: "This form of tomb and coffin, not to mention that I have never seen it, I am afraid that it is a long-lost form of ancient minority tombs, which is largely influenced by Han culture, but it is very rare to make it plausible and add a lot of their own things." ”
Hao Aiguo also came down with Chu Jian, and when he saw the scene here, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he looked here and there, and he was happy.
When Ning An saw Chu Jian, he couldn't help asking, "Didn't you let you look at An Liman, why did you come down?" ”
Chu Jian said: "That old man is asleep, I also want to come down and take a look." ”
After thinking about it, Ning An didn't say anything, because the fat man was on it, and continued down to the tomb on the ground floor, and when he looked around, he couldn't help but sigh, and the four walls of the tomb were full of exquisite colorful murals.
When Professor Chen saw one of them, he was also excited enough: "This... The events recorded in this painting are related to the Exquisite Kingdom. ”
What Ning An wants to see the most is the coffin, once it reaches the level of the prince king, Ning An is welcome, and the third ancient tomb task is still waiting.
Although they can't take it away in front of the professor, it is very convenient to have a system space by themselves, and only Ning An needs to confirm that this tomb is at the level of princes and kings.
Professor Chen was looking at the murals in the tomb, ignoring the coffin in the middle, and Ning An also waited patiently, listening to Professor Chen comment on these murals to Hao Aiguo.
Professor Chen said: "The first few paintings show that the tomb owner was the prince of Gumo during his lifetime, Gumo was a vassal of the elite who was oppressed, and every year he offered a large number of treasures and cattle and sheep slaves, and he once went to the queen of the exquisite to ask for the freedom of his subjects, and he went three times in a row, but did not see the queen's face.
The painting is to say that he was not reconciled, and that the brave prince was regarded as the embodiment of the god of war of the sun, and in the end, the prince infiltrated the essence alone, trying to assassinate the evil queen but revealed a big secret. ”
There are still some exquisite words on the murals, which no one can understand except Ning An, but Professor Chen guessed a rough idea just by looking at the murals, which is really amazing!
