Volume 3 The Tomb of the Night King Chapter 18 The Coffin Inscription
"Let's not look into this yet! Record it down and go back in research! Let's go first and see if this thousand-year-old tomb has been damaged! Don't look at all the way over, only the tomb door has been demolished, as if it has not been damaged. But in ancient times, the means of tomb robbery were very powerful, and they could directly open the robbery hole to the main tomb without passing through the tomb road, and steal and excavate! "Professor Han has obviously experienced a lot of these ancient tombs, so even when he arrives at the door of the main tomb, he is still relieved.
After he finished speaking, he didn't give anyone else a chance to speak at all. When he took the first step, he stepped through this dark door.
I didn't have a chance to speak, I didn't have a chance to stop, and I saw him walk in. Then Ji Shili, Zhao Zhifeng, and they all stepped in.
Yu Qian also raised her foot and was about to walk in, but I hurriedly called out to her and gave her a look. Yu Qian stiffly put down her steps and looked at me suspiciously.
Han Chang was also a step, but he subconsciously glanced at me and Yu Qian, and actually stopped his steps.
"What's going on? Aren't we going in? Han Chang asked me.
I pointed to the two lines and said, "I don't think it's a spell, I think it's a warning......"
"Warning? Isn't that the same as a permanent lamp? Is it that walking over will also touch some machine springs? Han Chang said in surprise.
I shook my head and said uncertainly: "I don't know, but, in this kind of strange tomb, it is better to believe it than not!" Let's be careful! β
With that, I set out to get ready to enter. The dream I had before, or rather the vision I saw, was always in my head. So, I have a special heart for entering this main burial chamber.
Passing through the door of the tomb, I saw the backs of Liu Qing and Han Dong. I thought they were standing in front of the main burial chamber, stunned by what was inside. So, I staggered their positions and prepared to find an open space to get into.
However, the searchlight above my head shone on the left and right of the two of them, and these people who came first were actually lined up, and it seemed that behind this door was not the main burial chamber, but still the scope of the burial hallway. Or rather, this doorway is too long, and it actually forms a passage.
"This is ......" When I was still looking for a place, Yu Qian suddenly exclaimed and attracted me.
I looked over to her, and she squeezed a spot in. I hurriedly squeezed over and rubbed her back forward.
When I poked my head over, I was dumbfounded for a moment. In front of me, a huge statue occupies the entire doorway, standing in the center.
The statue is carved with a strange beast, all of which are blue and its eyes are blood-red. The head is like a dragon's head, but it does not have a long mouth, and the lower jaw fangs are turned over the top of the head, which is hideous and terrifying. Its mane ran down to its legs, and its nose was marked by two thick, snake-like whiskers that spread out in midair. The body is like a cow, very strong, and the scales on the body surface are layered, and it is extremely dense. The four legs are like tiger claws, strong and powerful, and the muscles are knotted.
This monster had never been seen before, and even Professor Han was stunned for a while, not recognizing what kind of beast it was.
The statue beast is squatting on the ground, with two front feet on the ground, baring its teeth and grinning, and it looks like it is guarding its back. The color on its body is not painted, we can see this at a glance, it is carved and inlaid directly from the rare cyan and red stones.
"It's ...... What beast? After a while, Liu Che suddenly opened his mouth.
The group was silent, they didn't know what it was. But coincidentally, I know these things.
So I said, "This is the Tomb Beast, and it's also the Tomb Keeper Beast. The Tomb Beast is a vicious beast that guards the tomb and protects the tomb from foreign ghosts and spirits. Therefore, it is generally a fierce beast that has been quite scary since ancient times. There were a lot of fierce beasts in ancient China, but those used to suppress tombs were generally fierce beasts that could eat people and shock people's souls. Like this one, it is a very rare beast that few people are willing to useβthe Monkey! β
"Monkey? Isn't that one of the Four Beasts? How did you become a fierce beast? When Yu Qian heard this name, she couldn't help but ask me.
I just smiled and said, "This Monkey is not the one of the Rui Beast, there are many types of Legend of the Rui Beast, and it is indeed said that it is the Rui Beast." But in fact, its original form is one of the fierce beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas! In some ancient mausoleums, there are many people who like to use Qiqi as a tomb beast, because it is another legend that Rui beast! Who doesn't want to be protected from evil spirits and at the same time auspicious? β
"I see!" After I finished explaining, Professor Han nodded suddenly, and then, together with Zhao Zhifeng, took out a pen and paper and recorded it.
Although Professor Han is an old archaeologist, he has seen many strange tombs. However, this was the first time he had seen a grave beast. So, he recorded a lot, and most of them were my exact words.
"That's it! All right! It's just a statue, although it's relatively rare, but it's not unprecedented. Let's go to the main tomb as soon as possible, don't delay it too late......"
While everyone was discussing around the Tomb Beast and drilling around in the empty space on both sides of the statue, Ji Shili suddenly stood in front of the Tomb Beast and shouted at everyone.
"That's right! That's right! Our main purpose is the study of the main burial chamber. It's not too early, let's hurry inside! Zhao Zhifeng looked at the table below and said in agreement.
Saying this, everyone naturally had no opinion, so it was Professor Han who took the lead and passed through the tomb beast first.
I followed behind him, I actually didn't like this position, but this town tomb beast took up too much space, and the position that could pass on both sides was very small, and I couldn't let others pass first, so I had to line up behind Professor Han and go in.
The doorway is at least five or six meters long, and this is simply a third tombway, or a tunnel.
Finally, after passing through the doorway, we entered a very large burial chamber. Surrounded by lights, I found that the tomb was at least two basketball courts, at least seven or eight meters high.
I don't know if the whole tomb is made of inlaid rock slabs or the entire carved mountain, but I believe that it is the latter.
"Professor! It's a question! It's a structure! Suddenly, Zhao Zhifeng roared. The noun he shouted also made me stunned, and I looked towards the center of the tomb.
As soon as I came in, I looked at the structure of the burial chamber and did not look at the center of the burial chamber. was called by Zhao Zhifeng, and I diverted my attention. And this look, I can't help but be stunned.
In the center of the burial chamber, a huge framed wooden structure erects a super-large inscription tomb. The Han Dynasty yellow intestine inscription that has been discovered may not be as grand as this.
Moreover, the inscription is so well preserved that not even a single piece of the frame is decayed, collapsed or broken. All the frames and strips are all brown-red oil primary colors, which are the same as the newly made ones coated with tung oil.
And that's not even the most surprising thing, the real jaw-dropping thing is the top of the tomb. At its top three meters high, there was a triangular wooden frame supporting a fist-sized bead that glowed pale orange. The light of this bead shines on the inscription tomb, imprinting an ancient and mysterious color.
At first, I thought it was the light of our flashlight, so I didn't care. But now that I look at it so seriously, I'm half as stupid.
I've become like this, and they're even more unbearable. Professor Han trembled, and Zhao Zhifeng's hand holding the pen trembled. Yu Qian's eyes didn't blink, staring at the bead and couldn't move for a long time.
However, what shocked me the most was that this place was actually a tomb-making ceremony! It was exactly the same vision I saw.
"There's a word ahead!" Liu Che suddenly shouted.
We hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, in front of the door, there was a huge red font engraved on it, and at the bottom right, a few lines of small characters were arranged in a disorderly manner.
These characters are the same as the words outside the door of the tomb, and they are also ghost scripts, ancient tadpole scripts.
"Lingzi, it's Lingzi!" Yu Qian immediately deciphered the huge vermilion font.
"What about the little print?" Professor Han was in a hurry to record, and at the same time instructed Zhao Zhifeng to record. At the same time, I haven't forgotten the interpretation of those small fonts.
"This is ......" After looking at it for a while, Yu Qian suddenly got stuck.
"What is it?" Professor Han raised his head, glanced at the tadpole text, and asked Yu Qian.
"Epitaph!" Yu Qian looked at Professor Han and told him solemnly.
Professor Han's eyes lit up instantly, and he took two steps and one step at a time excitedly.
I was so frightened that my soul almost scattered, because his movements and our current position were too synchronized with the vision I had seen. In other words, the illusions I saw were all real events! The Night King, the owner of the tomb, has long predicted today's result!
It's horrible! How could such a thing be?
In my fright, Professor Han had stepped into front of the tomb. At the same time, the burial chamber suddenly trembled, and then, in the frightened eyes of everyone, a huge blue-gold pillar fell from the sky and hit Professor Han.
"Professor! Be careful! Yu Qian reacted very quickly, and when she saw the fallen pillar just showing its surface, she shouted.
Professor Han didn't know what was going on behind him, but the tremor of the burial chamber made him turn his head. This time, I saw the horror and despair in his eyes.
"Boom!" The blue-gold cylinder smashed on the ground, sending out a loud sound that shook the entire burial chamber with a loud white ash sound.
"It's a carved beast pattern gold bronze column!" I was already dumbfounded, and it was exactly what I had seen in my vision.
"Professor! Are you okay? "I was shocked, but suddenly I found a scene beyond what I had seen in my vision.
Professor Han is not dead!
Yu Qian was on the other side, pulling Professor Han back with all her might. And Professor Han had a dead face, and blood hung from the corners of his mouth. Although he is not dead, he is already in a coma.
"Professor! How are you? Professor! Wake up! Yu Qian shook a few times, but she didn't see Professor Han wake up.
"Don't move the professor!" Just as we were holding our breath and watching Professor Han's reaction, Zhao Zhifeng suddenly roared.
We were startled and looked at Zhao Zhifeng. And Zhao Zhifeng stood on the side and stretched out his hand to point: "Professor's feet!" β
Hearing this, we immediately turned to the side and looked at the professor's footsteps. The professor was knocked down by Yu Qian and pushed out. But he stood too close to the tomb, and this push was pushed to the epitaph, so that his body did not completely leave the range of the carved beast pattern gold and bronze pillar.
A pair of feet, at the ankle part, were all pressed under the bronze pillar and turned into meat sauce!
Blood and broken flesh and bones, as well as scraps of shoes, splashed the ground, and even the roots of the bronze pillars were horribly bloody.
