"The Altar of Ten Thousand Bones? What's that? Seeing that Li Huiyan, who has always been steady, also behaved like this, I couldn't help but ask.

"It's the altar in front of you, to be exact, it's the same altar as the altar in front of you, and the biggest feature of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar is that there are countless skulls inlaid on the surface of the altar." Li Huiyan calmed down the emotions in her heart and said with a sigh.

"Is there a history of this kind of thing?" I asked again.

"There have been some, but the records are incomplete, most of them only describe the specific appearance of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, as for what the charcoal creatures built such an altar for, there is no useful record." Li Huiyan said.

"This is the first time I've heard of this." I replied a little helplessly.

As an archaeology student, the professional knowledge of archaeology is not as good as that of a foreign student majoring in economics, which makes people feel a little frustrated.

I even had some doubts that Li Huiyan was studying archaeology, and I was just a bastard.

In fact, compared with Li Huiyan, I am indeed more like a bastard, I have really studied in college for a few years, and I am completely messing around.

Li Huiyan obviously didn't know these complicated and helpless thoughts in my heart, and seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, she couldn't help but say again: "It's shocking, right? When I saw the Ten Thousand Bones Altar in a book before, I once thought that it was just a random record of the ancients, and how could anyone in the world really build such an altar. ”

"It's really shocking, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that there is such a thing in this world." I glanced at the altar and said with emotion.

"There are actually several names for altars like this, such as the Hundred Bone Altar, the Thousand Bone Altar, and the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, all of which are named after the number of skeletons inlaid on the altar without exception." Li Huiyan said.

"But I'm a little strange, what is the purpose and purpose of the tomb owners who have spent so much effort to build such an altar?" I thought about it for a moment and said again.

"There is no consensus in the archaeological community about the purpose of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, some people speculate that it was used to worship ghosts and gods, some people speculate that it is related to a mysterious religion that believes in evil spirits that has died out in history, and of course some people think that this move is purely to intimidate future generations into breaking into the tomb robbers, but most archaeologists prefer the first and second theories."

Li Huiyan seemed to have known that I would have such a question, and immediately said when she heard this.

"Sister Lizi, otherwise you will secretly transfer to our class to attend class, you know more things than our professional teachers know." Xiao Yue listened to it with stars in his eyes and interjected.

Li Huiyan shook her head, smiled bitterly and did not speak.

As for Li Huiyan's experience, I had heard her talk earlier, her love for archaeology was far better than the economics major she was studying now, but she had to give up studying archaeology due to the pressure of her family.

"You should have your own ideas about the purpose of this altar other than those speculations in the archaeological community, right?" After a while, I asked again.

"It's a little bit of an idea, but it's nothing. Actually, I think the first and second terms are more appropriate, but for the purpose of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, I think it may be to obtain some unknown power. Li Huiyan said after a moment of silence.

Village Chief Yao obviously heard our question too, and at first he didn't pay much attention to our conversation, but when he heard Li Huiyan's last sentence, he turned his head and glanced at Li Huiyan with deep meaning, and his expression seemed to be a little complicated.

Seeing Village Chief Yao's strange behavior, I immediately knew in my heart that most of what Li Huiyan said was close to the truth.

I suddenly remembered the murals I had seen at the altar of the pool, and I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The main burial chamber depicted on the altar is completely different from what we see in front of us, so is the place depicted on the altar of the cistern not actually the main burial chamber?

But thinking about it, it feels unlikely, the blood pool and the corpse wheel blood tree on the mural both exist, and there may be other blood pools, but there is no second plant for something rare in the world, such as the corpse wheel blood tree.

If there really was a second corpse wheel blood tree in this ancient tomb, it would be incredible.

I told Li Huiyan about this idea in my heart, but I saw that she frowned and thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with a reason, and finally said: "It is impossible for the corpse wheel blood tree to have a second one, it is already a coincidence and luck to be able to cultivate a corpse wheel blood tree, and it is impossible for two corpse wheel blood trees to exist at the same time." ”

"Oh, I said you two think so much, in my opinion, the murals must have been painted first, and then the owner of the tomb thought it was too easy to trim his tomb like that, so he ordered someone to redesign it and build it later. As for the murals, maybe the pool was already filled with water, so there was no way to change it. Xiao Yue once again became a detective possessed, and said with an expression that I already knew the truth.

Hearing this, Li Huiyan and I were stunned at the same time, not only did we think she was talking nonsense, but we felt that she was very reasonable this time.

It is obvious that there is no second corpse wheel blood tree, so the appearance of the main burial chamber is different from the content depicted in the mural, and it is very likely that the main burial chamber was later remodeled to form the current appearance.

If it is true, as Xiao Yue said, the mural at the bottom of the pool cannot be changed because the pool is filled with water, it makes sense.

After all, the depth of the pool is at least 50 meters, and in ancient times, without any diving equipment, it was almost impossible to dive to the bottom of the pool by manpower alone, and the water pressure at the bottom of the water was not something that could be withstood by manpower alone, let alone modify the murals at the bottom of the pool.

What's more, there were no waterproof lamps in the Qin Dynasty, and even if they could really dive into the bottom of the pool, it would be impossible to modify the murals when the bottom of the pool was dark.

I suspect that the tomb builders of the time also knew that the murals at the bottom of the pool were very different from the later shape of the main burial chamber, but because the bottom of the pool was filled with water, they were lucky enough to get by, and it was impossible to find out if the pool was not emptied anyway.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is very great, and it is really thanks to Xiao Yue's reminder.

At that moment, there was a slight tremor behind me, and I turned around in some amazement, just in time to see the passage we had passed through slowly sinking into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be a little anxious, the passage sank into the pool of blood again, what should we do when we go back in a while?

Village Chief Yao obviously noticed what was happening in the rear as well, but he just glanced back with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care at all.

Seeing Village Chief Yao's indifferent appearance, I also put away the worries in my heart, maybe this old guy has other tricks.

At the same time, Village Chief Yao walked forward again.

After passing a corner of the altar to the left, a row of stone steps reappeared in front of us.

Village Chief Yao walked up the stone steps without saying a word, and everyone had to follow when they saw this. The stone steps go up around the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, and the volume of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar is extremely high, and we walked for a long time to reach the position of the fifth layer of the altar, and everyone was already exhausted and out of breath.

All the way forward, every ten meters or so there is a town tomb beast stone carving, these town tomb beast stone carvings have different shapes, there are almost no two stone sculptures with the same shape, it is really surprising.

Standing on the fifth altar where we were, we could already see the general appearance of the corpse wheel blood tree when we looked up, but because there was still some distance, the specific appearance of the corpse wheel blood tree could not be seen clearly.

"Rice cake, that old man is lying to you." While standing in place to rest, Xiao Yue whispered in my ear.

"What are you lying to me?" I asked for some reason.

"The old man promised you just now that he could take away a burial object from the main tomb, but we have been in the main tomb for so long, how can there be a burial object, do you still want to take one of these tomb beasts out." Xiao Yue said.

Listening to Xiao Yue's reminder, I realized that all this was a little weird.

When we entered the main burial chamber, we followed the corpse mountain around the perimeter of the main burial chamber, and we also did not see any burial objects, not even a small broken clay pot.

Even now when I came to the Ten Thousand Bones Altar in the central area of the main burial chamber, apart from these rows of stone carvings of the tomb beasts, I didn't see any burial goods.

It is a little unreasonable that there is not even a single burial object in such a large main burial chamber, which is much inferior to the earliest small burial chambers, and compared to the small burial chambers with all kinds of burial goods in the corners, this main burial chamber is too shabby.

"Maybe the funerary goods are at the top of the altar." I thought about it and said, I can only comfort myself like this now.

After resting for a moment to regain his strength, Village Chief Yao took the lead again.

Because they were desperate to see the corpse chakra blood tree at the top of the altar, although everyone felt very tired, they did not show any dissatisfied expressions, but were extremely enthusiastic.

After another break, we finally reached the very top of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar after ten minutes.

The top of the altar is also wide and square, and the length of each side is at least about 30 meters.

In the center of the altar, an ancient tree with a red body and a unimaginably large tree appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The ancient tree did not have a single leaf, but only countless strips of paper of different thicknesses hung from the top, spreading out in all directions, like a huge red umbrella, enveloping the entire Ten Thousand Bones Altar.

The trunk of the tree that we saw alone was as thick as at least six or seven people hugging each other, and looking at the appearance of the ancient tree, the lower half was still hidden under the altar, and what we saw was not the thickest part of it.

"This is the rumored Corpse Wheel Blood Tree?" I was stunned by the scene in front of me, the corpse wheel blood tree was far more huge than I had imagined before.

It seems that this Ten Thousand Bones Altar is not solid, and there is a huge space hidden inside, and the Corpse Wheel Blood Tree grows in the inner space of the altar. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
