"Alas! Don't you know that this is punishable by law? Professor Li looked at me earnestly and said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Professor, this is also a helpless thing, I have run a lot of hospitals, but they have no way at all, I can only support them to come to this ancient tomb of the Xia Dynasty to try their luck, Xia Ying is too important to me." I looked at him seriously, "I won't touch anything in the tomb, I just want to find the key fragment, and finally I can find the Nine Dragons Stone Box." ā
"Alas!" Professor Li sighed and did not speak.
"I hope you take us to keep it secret!" I looked at Professor Li seriously.
He was silent for a long time, then looked up at me, then nodded.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned my head to look at Zhang Huanqing and them, who had nothing to do anymore, and was now sitting there against the wall.
I got up and came to Zhang Huanqing's side, "How are you, it's okay." ā
He nodded, "It's not a big deal. Is there anything that Professor Li told you to do in the past? Look at your face is not good-looking. ā
"It's okay, I had a showdown with him, he guessed what we were doing, so I just told him everything that happened, and now it's nothing." I looked at him and whispered something in his ear.
He pondered for a moment, "Then there won't be much concern, he won't tell the matter." ā
"No, Professor Li has promised me to keep it a secret, after all, he was able to come here because of the map I showed him, otherwise, they wouldn't have discovered this place, but there are other archaeological team members now, and I can't guarantee that they won't tell anyone after they learn our identity." I replied a little helplessly.
"Let it be." Zhang Huanqing also sighed.
After resting for a while in the burial chamber where the burial goods were kept, they decided to set out towards the arch hole on the other side, this time with a cautious fear, for fear of encountering rotting flies, as they had done before.
When the flashlight illuminates the space inside, people were stunned, this tomb is about the same size as the tomb space seen before, but the burial goods inside are too many to count, in the center of the tomb, there is a sarcophagus, next to the sarcophagus, there are these two dilapidated wooden coffins,
"Is this the main burial chamber?" One of the students in the archaeological team looked at the scene in front of him and asked with some curiosity.
Professor Li thought for a moment, "It should be." ā
"No, it's not the main burial chamber." My voice interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and they both looked at me quizzically.
"There is no tripod here, if it is really the ancient tomb of the Xia Dynasty on the map we are looking for, there should be a big tripod inside." I looked around, and it was true that I didn't find the existence of the big ding except for the burial goods.
"yes, how did I forget that." After listening to my words, Professor Li suddenly remembered. "Whether it's or not, let's take a look at what we're saying."
Seeing them do it so directly, I was really a little worried, this time Professor Li also joined in, and we also followed behind them, after opening the two wooden coffins, the corpses inside had turned into white bones, judging from the wearing of the white bones, these two should be female corpses, either the maid who accompanied the burial, or, the two wives of the tomb owner? But after thinking about it, is this really the sarcophagus of the tomb owner? Because of the presence of Nading, this is definitely not the main burial chamber, but there are no other doors or exits around that lead to other places.
No useful objects or clues were found in the two wooden coffins, so Professor Li decided to open the sarcophagus as well.
The lid of the sarcophagus was very heavy, and this time four or five of us worked together to slowly move the lid to the side.
The inside of the sarcophagus was empty, and there was nothing.
"Strange, what's going on?" Zhou Yun asked suspiciously.
Everyone shook their heads, no one knew what was going on, there was nothing in the sarcophagus, could it be fake?
Professor Li was a little unwilling to grope back and forth in the empty sarcophagus, but after groping for a while, nothing came of it.
"It shouldn't be." Professor Li frowned. Then I groped back and forth on the outside of the sarcophagus for a while, but at this time, I don't know what mechanism Professor Li touched, around the sarcophagus, there was a violent tremor, and then not far from the sarcophagus, a downward secret passage was revealed, we looked at the secret passage in surprise, the secret passage was not very fast, but it was enough for two people to walk side by side, and it was pitch black inside, and we couldn't see how deep the secret passage was at all.
"Ready, let's go down and have a look." The sudden appearance of the secret passage made Professor Li have some expectations, such an ancient tomb, once excavated, would be absolutely unprecedented.
After making some preparations, everyone walked towards the secret passage.
The space inside is quite spacious, the dark passage is a downward one, after walking not far, we saw a stone door, fortunately, the stone door is very easy to open, a few people go up and force, the stone door is pushed open, we don't know what the dark passage is like that direction, after going out of the dark passage, the scene in front of us makes us all frown.
Flashlight shines forward, what can be seen is a thick tree trunk, the distance from the ground to the top is about three meters, the trunk is directly submerged into the ground, and the top to the top, can be seen, only the thick trunk but can not see the root or anything.
This is not just a tomb and a burial chamber, which is made of stone, but it is a completely natural underground space, and the surrounding walls are uneven, and the ground is also pitted.
And when you look at the flashlight like in front of you, you can't see the end at all, and there are just those thick tree trunks.
"I have to be obedient, such a thick trunk, how big this tree is." Zhou Yun looked at the tree trunks in front of him and sighed.
Zhang Huanqing slowly walked to a thick tree trunk very close to us, knocked lightly on it, and after hearing the sound from the trunk, he frowned, and then walked to a tree trunk not far away, and knocked hard,
"Something is wrong, the trunks here should all be hollow." As he spoke, he pulled out the magic sparrow, and then lightly scratched the trunk a few times, and with a "click" sound, a rectangular piece of bark was removed by him, revealing the contents inside.
"Shhh A sound of inhalation came from the mouths of all of us.
