Chapter 51: The Burial Pit

"Yes, they must go back to the main tomb, where is the main tomb? Right below our feet, but there was no one to see on the altar, proving that there must be another entrance here, and perhaps following the entrance, we could reach the bottom of the cliff. Ge Zhuang said very calmly.

I said you have some truth in this idea, but ......

Ge Zhuang said don't be a brother, just a word, will you accompany me? I looked at Ge Zhuang's big round eyes, and found for the first time that when a person is determined to do something, his seriousness will make his eyes shine.

I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, saying that I was afraid of eggs, swords and fires, buddy will accompany you to break through! Xiaoyue sacrificed herself to save us, whose heart is flesh and blood, how much must she do for her!

The old men made up their minds, once they identified the goal, they were unswerving, Ge Zhuang sorted the remaining equipment, two flashlights, two safety ropes, a dagger, and the rifle was only the last one*, and then there was the sapper shovel that we never left with us, this is the only equipment we have left.

To be honest, this configuration of the tomb is really a bit stumbling, compared with the previous group of mercenaries, it is simply the difference between a beggar and a land-sitting household who owns more than a dozen properties in the imperial capital, but we have no other way out.

Chen Yun tore open the waterproof bag, picked out the last three compressed biscuits, and said Eat, this is the last ration, I hope we can find Xiaoyue's body and exit within 24 hours.

The oppressive atmosphere made our spirits highly tense, and our chests were heavy, as if a stone had been blocked. We subconsciously stopped talking about Satsuki, but everyone's faces were tense.

After eating the compressed biscuits, I got up with the wolf's eye hand and looked at the environment around the altar, the round altar was very smooth, and there were two layers of bluestone steps not far in front of us, and there were many strange chisel marks carved on the steps, which seemed to be earthworms, Chen Yun said that it was the script of Cuba.

I asked her if she could decipher? Chen Yun said no, the Cuban national script was extinct thousands of years ago, and it is very difficult to decipher the only surviving documents of future generations, and this kind of work is very time-consuming, and only professional researchers will do it.

Ge Zhuang was very anxious, and kicked on the stone steps, "Leave these words to Professor Yang to study, don't waste time!" He strode towards the front, Chen Yun and I glanced at each other, and had no choice but to follow behind.

Stepping over the double steps, the field of vision was wider, Chen Yun just stood on the altar, and with a sweep of the flashlight, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God, there are burial pits in front of you!" ”

The platform under our feet is very huge, covered with nine deep pits, different from the previous pits, these nine pits are all artificially polished, the rock walls are very smooth, each pit has a square circle of two zhang, under the flashlight, the stone wall reflects pure black light, which is full of white bones.

The white bones are piled up into a mountain, and there is a faint layer of fluorescence floating on it, powdery, scattering light like fireflies, the light is green, shining on the white bones of the forest, very weird, and eerie.

Chen Yun analyzed that it should be because after the tomb door was forcibly opened, a lot of oxygen flowed in, and the phosphorus in the bones was fully exposed to oxygen, so it spontaneously combusted to form a phosphorus fire, which is a natural phenomenon.

She said simply, but Ge Zhuang and I were both sweating, there were nine large pits, and there were no less than a hundred or so bones in each pit, and several skeletons at the edge of the pits, the flashlight hit them, and the skulls were sunken and cracked, and there were obvious marks of blunt force knocking.

The scale of the burial of living people is so huge, no wonder the Cuban Congress was annihilated in the long river of history, and a prince took away so many people, with the ancient population base, can withstand several tosses?

Ge Zhuang pointed to the stone wall of the pit in front of him, the surface was gray and white, like lime, but the deeper he moved, the darker the color of the stone wall became, black and purple, he muttered, "How are these stones black?" ”

Chen Yun turned around and explained to him very calmly, "The stone only has two colors, gray and brown, unless it is an ore, but these are obviously not, the black you see is not its original color, it is dyed like this with human blood." ”

I couldn't help but shudder on my heels.

The burial pit of the living, these martyrs were hit by sharp objects before they died, and the blood of dozens or hundreds of people flowed into the pit, and after thousands of years of precipitation, the moisture in the blood evaporated, so it was attached to the surface of the stone, forming this black mark, it is difficult to imagine what kind of bloody situation was a thousand years ago?

Ge Zhuang said very seriously, "I now think that the inverted fight is not necessarily a bad thing, these ancient princes and nobles, I don't know how many people have been looted, and so many living people will be buried after death, why can they hold a lot of gold, silver and jewelry into the ground, these people who died in vain?" The end is a pile of white bones, which is not as cheap as a dog! ”

He gritted his teeth, but in exchange for Chen Yun's eyes, "A thief is a thief, how can there be a good tomb robbery?" Ge Zhuang said, yo, comrade beauty, you are talking so righteously, can you tell me the difference between archaeology and inverted buckets?

Chen Yun said, of course, there is a difference, the inverted bucket is a destructive excavation, how convenient and how to come, I don't know how many precious ancient treasures have been destroyed, archaeology is a rescue excavation, which will protect the integrity of the tomb......

Ge Zhuang didn't wait for her to finish, he sneered and said, "Isn't it different for the dead? Let me ask you, if a person is dying, and people give him two choices before he dies, the first option is the wilderness of the tomb robbers, and the second option is to wait quietly for the archaeological team to put your remains in the museum for people to study and visit, what would you answer? ”

Chen Yun didn't answer, Ge Zhuang smiled strangely, "If it were me, I would say that Nyima's, whether you are a tomb robber or an archaeological team, which bastard will try to move Lao Tzu's tomb?" ”

Seeing that Chen Yun's face was getting worse and worse, I quickly pulled Ge Zhuang and asked him not to quarrel with Chen Yun, it is not a good thing to engage in internal contradictions at this time.

The nine pits are all dug for the burial of the living, and there is not much research value, we go farther, we see that there is a stele in the center of the altar, the stele is engraved with big ancient characters, the surface is corrupted, mottled and unclear, there are many collapsed places on the text, and we can't distinguish any famous hall.

Chen Yun stopped and took a picture of the inscription with a flashlight, "The people buried here are not simple, not only enjoy the burial pits of nine living people, but also set up an inscription here, which is definitely a princely level treatment in ancient times." ”

I didn't care about that, I took a flashlight again, and saw that there was a raised place on the stone platform, which had obviously been chiseled with an awl, and there were broken stones nearby, and a big hole had been broken, and I hurriedly said, "The bottom of the stone tablet is hollow, it seems that the main tomb is at our feet, these chisel marks must have been made by Professor Yang and them, they are really still alive, and they have entered the main tomb!" ”

Ge Zhuang pursed his lips and sneered, "What kind of protective excavation is not the same as man-made destruction?" Chen Yun was so angry that she glared at him again, turned her face away angrily, and didn't speak.

A nail and an eye, both of them were puffed up, I was in the middle with the mud, the rat with the bellows, both ends were angry, so I urged them to go down quickly, don't delay time.
