Chapter 128: The Shrine Maiden's Tomb
There was obviously a problem in the tomb, but Xie Lai and the three of them had to go again, Ye Qing said that it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
They don't know that they have a brush with death, and now they have to go for another intimate encounter.
Ye Qing contacted Liang Xuyuan, there was no news of Wu Zhili on his side, she decided to go to the tomb with Xie Lai and them the next morning, and then take an afternoon flight to Shanghai.
Xie Lai sent a text message to meet her at the gate of the hospital at eight o'clock, Ye Qing planned to leave Rong Sheng and hide in the hotel, but Rong Sheng stuck to her.
"Gently......" he hugged her like a koala, his eyes still squinting.
"It's cold outside, you can sleep for a while, I'll call Shi Yin to accompany you."
Rong Sheng tugged at her sleeve and didn't let go, Ye Qing only dressed him, carried him to knock on Shi Yin's door, and when he left the hotel, Rong Sheng slipped off her.
When the three of them arrived at the gate of the hospital, Xie Lai and the others had been waiting for a short time.
"Sorry, I'm late, I brought you breakfast." Ye Qing handed the breakfast to Qi Huaimei, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Thank you." Qi Huaimei took the paper bag and took the bread to Jin Xi, who was in charge of driving.
Jin Xi pushed away the bread, and he looked at Xie Lai in the back seat: "What are they going to do in the tomb?" ”
"Ye Qing is a student of the same department as us, her research in this area is better than yours, and the bronze translucent mirror last time, she knew at a glance that it was from the Warring States."
"Oh...... It turns out that the master you are talking about is her! Qi Huaimei pushed the frame of her glasses and sighed: "Your predecessors in the family also engaged in archaeology, right?" No wonder it's so powerful. ”
"That's just a coincidence."
"Let's all get in the car." Qi Huaimei beckoned a few people to get into the car: "Thank you for Professor Gu's things, the professor is very good to our students, he will share textbook knowledge and practical experience with us without reservation, he can get better, we ......"
"What does the teacher's business have to do with them?" Jin Xi interjected.
Qi Huaimei coughed twice, but didn't answer his words, she smiled at him: "Hurry up, it's not too early." ”
Because of the Spring Festival, there are not many vehicles driving on the urban lanes, and they are unimpeded all the way.
Qi Huaimei drank soy milk and talked about the situation that day: "...... It's so weird, when I first entered, I didn't smell a strange smell, but several of us fainted almost at the same time, in fact...... Before I fell unconscious, I heard a scream. ”
"I heard that too!" Shelley followed.
"Huaimei, I said that you were hallucinating, I didn't hear any sound, and neither did Xiao Zhang. Everything should be based on a scientific point of view, and there should be a scientific basis, don't look at those books that are made up and made up, and think about them all day long, which is not conducive to objective evaluation of ......."
After Jin Xi's words were finished, Qi Huaimei only said "oh".
The car was silent, and no one spoke until the destination.
Regarding the tomb, yesterday, Xie Lai had already told Ye Qing.
The owner of the tomb was a shrine maiden.
Four months ago, it rained heavily for half a month, causing a landslide on the outskirts of the city. It was a round bronze plate, about 3.33 meters in diameter, carved with strange character patterns, the workers tried to dig out the bronze plate, but the bronze plate grew on the ground as if it had roots, and several big men couldn't pry it open.
The workers reported the matter, and colleagues from the Cultural Relics Bureau went to the site to investigate.
Through the pattern on the bronze plate - a woman with a human face and a snake body standing on the top of the mountain, each with a snake in her left and right hands, during which the fairy clouds linger, a row of ladders at the foot of the mountain, from the bottom of the ladder all around, are people of different shapes, the edge of the bronze plate is engraved with the characters of flowers, green plants, birds and beasts, and ancient culture experts determine that it records about the witch.
Among the Bayu cultures, the oldest culture is the witch culture.
In the witch culture, the oldest myth and legend is the Ten Witches of Lingshan.
There are records of Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Qi, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, Luo Shi Wu, and then the Ling Mountain is Wu Mountain.
There are also annotations on witches, men say witches, women say witches.
The main duties of witches in ancient times were to serve ghosts and gods, including divination, prayer, sacrifice, singing and dancing, and welcoming gods, and to cure diseases and eliminate disasters.
In addition, there is a legend that all witches are immortal.
The bronze plate could not be uncovered, the Cultural Relics Bureau sent professional archaeologists, after detection, they found that there was a lot of space under the bronze plate, and thought of a lot of ways, and finally unveiled the bronze plate completely.
And under the bronze plate, there is actually a cave.
The cave is square, against the wall on four sides, on each side there are iron pillars, the top of the iron pillar is inserted human skulls, some people count, there are probably more than three hundred skulls.
Under the bronze plate, in the center of the cave, there is also an iron pillar, the top of which is also spiked, but there is no skull on it, but a jade ring.
The jade ring is the size of a human face, the outer circle is square and the inner is square, and three dents can be seen around the body, and the surface of the jade ring is engraved with dense characters.
In fact, the cave connected to the bronze plate looks more like a place of sacrifice and is called a tomb because it took them more than two months to find the main burial chamber where the coffin was stored.
That's right, the main burial chamber is just below the iron pillar with the jade ring inserted.
In addition to local archaeological experts, the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics invited professors from Beijing University to participate in the excavation and clean-up work.
Professor Gu took a few students to the cave, but failed to solve the secrets in the cave.
Approaching the Spring Festival, the personnel in Chongqing City were resting, and Professor Gu was also going to take a few students back, but on the 27th, a jade expert came, and he helped everyone solve their confusion.
"No one knows the characters on the jade ring at all, I found that jade expert, I originally wanted to ask him to crack the characters, who knows, the jade expert is super powerful, he helped us find the main tomb!"
"He brought more than a dozen bags of blood borrowed from the blood bank, and the blood was poured on the jade ring, and it flowed into the iron pillar along the groove of the body, and the rust outside the iron pillar disappeared in an instant, and became shiny, everyone heard a click, the iron pillar fell, and the ground next to the iron pillar sank, and a zigzag staircase appeared!"
"At that time, we didn't go in immediately, and after the remote-controlled plane was sent in, we saw that there was nothing unusual inside. Early the next morning, we went down to the main burial chamber, but before we could see what was inside, we all fainted. ”
Ye Qing combed through what Xie Lai said yesterday in his mind, and the car had stopped outside the shrine maiden's tomb.
There was a ring of shields around the tomb, and the only entrance and exit were guarded by soldiers, Xie Lai explained the situation, and the other party got a reply from his superiors before letting a few people in.
"He's going in too?" Jin Xi glanced at Rong Sheng, who was following up, pouted, and said to Ye Qing: "Leave the child to you to bring, his parents' hearts are really big enough." ”
Before Ye Qing could speak, Rong Sheng looked at Jin Xi.
"Brother, the last person to cry will definitely not be me."
Missing the golden seal, Ye Qing led Rong Sheng inside.
Several people took a lift into the cave, as Shelley said, all the skulls were in sight, and they went directly into the main burial chamber, Shelley lit the wick on one side of the wall, and the whole burial chamber lit up instantly.
The burial chamber was as large as the cave above, less than three meters high, and it was a fairly spacious burial chamber, but there was only one coffin inside.
The coffin was made of wood with iron chains of varying thicknesses tied to it, which wound the coffin extremely tightly.
