After a long time, the crowd finally completed the sloping passage.

At its bottom, dozens of steps began to appear, also carved out of this natural inclined passage.

Everyone stepped on the steps, and saw that there was another hole in front of the dozens of steps in front of them, and there was a black hole inside, and it seemed that the passage had reached the end.

When everyone descended to the middle of these dozens of steps, they only heard an earth-shattering loud noise behind them, and the stone walls under their feet and on both sides were shaken.

The loud noise was so loud that everyone was so frightened that they almost didn't roll down the steps.

hurriedly looked back, and doubted in his heart, no matter how powerful those human-faced monsters were, they couldn't make such a big noise.

After reading it, everyone's hearts suddenly cooled by half, and they saw that at the top of these dozens of steps, at the entrance of the staircase passage, a huge gate fell.

This huge gate is completely made of a whole heavy stone slab, and I don't know how thick, but like a wall, it falls down directly, completely killing the passage.

"hooves drip!" Old Ghost Su cursed and returned to the gate, pushed it with his hand, and knocked again.

Shaking his head and shining a flashlight under his feet, he carefully looked at the steps one by one, and stopped at the place where everyone was at their feet.

Then he struck one of the steps with his Luoyang shovel, cursed something in his mouth, and shouted angrily:

"Walk miles, you have to climb the knife mountain in front of you, and you have to jump even if it's an oil pot, damn, there's no turning back this time."

When everyone heard this, they looked at him, and then at the wall-like gate, and their hearts were already half cold, and they were completely cooled.

Cao Longxuan asked: "Is it caused by us stepping on the mechanism?" ”

Old Ghost Su nodded, didn't say anything, and everyone silently followed him towards the dark hole.

Before they could enter the cave, everyone smelled a familiar smell, but they couldn't say it.

In this natural cave formed tens of millions of years ago, smelling this familiar smell can't help but make people's hearts flutter.

Because everyone just wasn't sure what the smell was, but it was supposed to be a familiar smell, and if the guess was correct, then it would be troublesome.

After entering this black hole, everyone was dumbfounded, staring blankly at everything in front of them and unable to speak:

The passage had come to an end here, and the cave was a cave with a natural dome, and there was no passage or entrance in it, only the whole ground had been carved into a deep pit along the cave wall, and it was full of oil!

From time to time, a few bubbles slowly bubbled out of the shiny crude oil, almost filling this big pit, although I don't know how deep the pit is, but looking at the traces of the chisel, it will not be shallow.

I heard Han Debang shouting: "Hey, you old ghost, let you crow's mouth, you have to say something 'oil pot', this is good, it's really a fucking fulfillment." I said, what kind of mouth are you, what are you? ”

Old Ghost Su didn't speak with a bitter face.

Seeing these oils, Bai Yunfei woke up, no wonder everyone smelled the familiar smell before they entered the hole, but they were not sure, it turned out to be a different oil from the gasoline and diesel used for driving!

After seeing these oils, everyone was confused:

Although Karamay is rich in oil, in the entire Xinjiang desert, it is impossible to tell where oil will exist underground. But the ancients of a thousand years ago, just build your tomb well, why did you store oil in this big pool for no reason?

The way to go has been cut off, the way back has been blocked, everyone is trapped in front of this big pit of oil, not an inch can enter, and the mood is really depressed.

But depression is depression, and you must first figure out what it is for, otherwise you will not be able to continue to act.

"Could it be that this is where the ancients stored crude oil?" Lu Wuyang looked at the huge pit of oil and asked everyone.

"What is it necessary to store it?" Han Debang asked Lu Wuyang rhetorically.

"It's not storage, so what's the use of putting so much oil in this big pool?" Lu Wuyang asked him again.

Han Debang scratched his ears, pondered for a long time, and said:

"Storing a fart, there were no cars in ancient times, who could store this thing for any use? And they can't live on strange goods, raise prices, and take the opportunity to resell for profit. You want me to see..."

"Don't be sassy, what's the grind? Shaleng, neat! What the hell is it doing? "Niu Gang is annoyed.

Han Debang smiled, rubbed his hands excitedly at everyone, and said with a smile: "I think it's for bathing." ”

"Huh?" And they were blinded.

"You think, didn't you say that the anonymous man was inscribed on his tomb, saying that this King Abraham was the king who sought power to usurp the throne and kill his brother to steal the royal power, and then occupied the original king of the daughter country. Ouch, what, what's this? Quick, quick, spread out..."

I saw that Su Lao Ghost gritted his teeth and pulled Han Debang's ears, and gave him a chestnut head-on: "Hey, your baby still dares to think about it, and her daughter is the king, and she is still taking a bath, why don't you say that this is the squatting pit used by the queen mother to go to the thatched house?" ”

At this time, I heard Wang Ziming say:

"In fact, it is not completely impossible for the little chrysanthemum to take a bath, although today this oil is mainly used to refine various fuel oils, as well as chemical supplies, but it actually has the effect of preventing mosquitoes, stopping skin diseases, and preventing rodents.

Among them, the skin disease is that in these oil-rich areas in the northwest, the ancients applied it to the skin, which can relieve some skin diseases, or after applying it to healthy skin, it can prevent the occurrence of these skin diseases. ”

Bai Yunfei took over the topic and said:

"Yes, many drivers or frequent car riders know that people with motion sickness can make the taste nerve center of the cerebral cortex adapt to the smell of gasoline at a certain time before riding in the car.

If you take the car again, the degree of motion sickness will be reduced, and it is even possible that you will not get motion sickness without bumps.

However, the oil pools here, Bai Yunfei dared to conclude that they were never stored or used to treat skin diseases.

If nothing else, just the trap gate, the bubble nail door and the very deep hidden stone seal, you can't say it, and you don't need to go to such a great deal of trouble to store oil, right? ”

"Maybe in ancient times, this oil was a very rich wealth," Ms. Li said.

"No, if it was rare in ancient times and was listed as a special item for the court, then you can build an oil well here and transport it to the palace, there is no need to hide it here." Wang Ziming disagreed with Li Yulan's statement.

"yes, maybe it's an oil well." Li Yulan insisted on her opinion:

"After the ancients finished harvesting here, it was impossible to send it up from the ramp and then send the carts and horses to the palace."

Everyone also thinks what she said makes sense, but it is precisely because of this that everyone has a feeling of crying and laughing.

Could it be that the earth cave that everyone dug all night, although they found a secret passage, did not lead to the underground palace of the tomb, but to the ancient oil well that happened to be buried under the soil?

That's really Monkey King's drunken madness, and this joke is a big joke.

"I don't think it's possible." Bai Yunfei refuted Li Yulan's view.

"Your idea could be valid, but it was denied by this huge floodgate.

Come to think of it, it is understandable that an important resource should be installed with an anti-theft door, but first, such a resource point in ancient times must be heavily guarded.

The second is that such a door can only be designed to be opened by manual movement inside or outside when there is a guard, so as to facilitate the passage of people and oil, and it is impossible to design this hidden mode of sealing it once it passes, which does not make sense.

When we were inside and outside the gate that suddenly fell, we didn't see any mechanisms on either side of the gate that could be moved, not even the broken ones, which means that this gate is not for passage, but for trapping people. ”

Bai Yunfei said and squatted down again, dipped a little oil in his finger and looked at it in front of his eyes, and continued:

"Moreover, in all dynasties, whether it is official history or wild history, there is no record of a period in which oil was used particularly extensively, and there are almost no oil production wells that can be designed and used at that time.

And now, everything in front of me must have been designed by the anonymous man for King Abraham's tomb.

Because it is the same as the use of black oil as a means of preventing tomb robbery in the hidden underground palace of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, in the huge pit where the 'torture balance' is installed, we almost lost personnel in that deep pit at that time.

And not only the huge pit with the scales, but also the cave on the other side of the underground river, although it did not pass at that time due to the existence of piranhas, the signal flare really ignited the black oil in the opposite cave.

This all shows that when designing the tomb, this anonymous man made use of the unique black oil resources in the Western Regions to prevent theft, which has become a signature means for him.

That's why I said that this big pit with oil should be the same as the tomb of the nameless person, and the function of anti-theft should be its biggest function. ”

After listening to Bai Yunfei, everyone stopped talking, probably thinking that his analysis was reasonable.

Cao Longxuan applauded and said with a smile: "Yunfei's thinking is really rigorous, I agree with your point of view." So, what do you think we should do next? ”

Bai Yunfei stared at the black-pressed oil pit for a long time before he said, "If you guess correctly, our way of life should be under this oil." ”

As he spoke, Bai Yunfei shone the flashlight on the dome and the cave wall, and gradually shone it again, once again confirming that there was no possibility of a hidden door.

Everyone also followed Bai Yunfei's flashlight, the brightness increased, and they could see more clearly, not at all like there was a secret door, after all, the difference between natural and artificial is too great, no matter how disguised it is, it is impossible to have no clues at all.

"How so?" Cao Longxuan asked with interest.

"Intuition, with an intuition about the design ideas of this anonymous ghost.

And, you see, the floodgates have fallen, and there is no new way here, and if this is really part of the tomb, then where is the tomb?

It must be in the place leading to it, it is disconnected here, but everyone has seen the oil, and whether there is a passage under the oil or not, you will know if you try it. ”

Bai Yunfei's voice was not high, but his tone was firm.

Cao Longxuan nodded, and then convened everyone to analyze and study how to find a passage at the bottom of the pit, and finally everyone reached a consensus:

1. Send someone to change into a diving suit and go down to explore the way.

2. In order to prevent accidents of the assigned person, the climbing rope should be tied around the waist.

3. Oil is very viscous, almost like asphalt, and its buoyancy will be much greater than that of water, and if you want to sink it, you have to hold on to a stone.

But this third point is really difficult for everyone, this small space can be described as empty, and there are no counterweight stones at all.

The stone gate was so huge and heavy that it couldn't be broken at all, otherwise everyone wouldn't have been trapped.

But these couldn't help Lu Wuyang, he pointed to the steps of the organ that Su Lao Ghost said, the big stone steps of this activity are just right!

So with a sledgehammer down, the steps of the mechanism were smashed into more than a dozen sections, each of which was enough for a person to carry and dive in the oil.

For this kind of urgent pioneer work, Niu Gang has always been the leader.

Everyone was worried about his injured arm, but he didn't think so, saying that he was just exploring the way, and besides, even if someone else went to explore the way and found out that there was a passage below, could he still not go down because of the injury to his arm?

Everyone didn't say anything, he changed into a diving suit, carried an oxygen tank, and put on his scuba and went into the water.

was grabbed by Su Lao Ghost, and then said to him: "You really don't know the depths." ”

He connected all the handles of his "knuckle-handled" Luoyang shovel, and then connected three iron drills with ropes, which were more than three meters long together, and then inserted into the oil with the Luoyang shovel connected to the iron drills, and went to the bottom of the pit.

When there was still more than half a meter left, he reached the bottom of the pit, and Su Lao Ghost poked in the oil with great effort, but he was actually testing in a different place, feeling that there was no spike like the one in the "torture balance" pit, so he was relieved to let Niu Gang go down.
