"Chapter 21: The Main Burial Chamber"
In this empty burial chamber, the sound of "click" is particularly loud, we all turn to look at the place where the sound comes from, it is the middle of the burial chamber, and a stone platform that was originally placed for burial slowly protrudes, and then slowly move to the side. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After a while, a staircase was revealed diagonally downward.
"I'll you, there's such a secret place." Hou Zifeng said with an exaggerated expression.
But before we could get closer to the staircase, a flashlight appeared in the dark passage.
I'm wondering, is it not just us who are here, but other teams here? Before I could figure it out, there was a cry for help from the dark passage.
"Help, help me."
Damn, isn't this the voice of the foreigner Karn, I quickly picked up my flashlight and shook it inside, only to find a figure with loose hair and a mess rushing upwards.
Brother Dao hurriedly ran forward and pulled Karn, "Karn, what's going on, how did they die, why are you down there." ”
Karn's face turned pale, and he kept repeating "Help me, help me." ”
Brother Dao's face was ugly, "It seems that he has been greatly stimulated." Kahn let go of Karn in disappointment.
Karn, who had been let go, rushed madly towards the side of the tomb door, and in a few clicks opened the closed tomb door.
It was too late for Brother Dao to stop it, and as soon as the door opened, it was overwhelmingly flooded with carrion flies. Karn was instantly overwhelmed by the rotting flies.
"Damn, I'm miserable by this foreigner." Hou Zifeng shouted, and ran into the passage where Karn had just come out.
I scolded secretly, this foreigner is really unreliable, and he was also anxious to pull Xia Ying to the passage, Zhang Huanqing, the carpenter and the knife brother ran behind.
As we all entered the passage, the mechanism seemed to activate again, and there was a "click" sound, and the stone platform that had been open slowly closed.
"Damn, how are we going to get out after this is closed for a while." Brother Dao scolded.
"Since Karn can get out of it, it proves that there may be a passage leading inside, and we'll look for it when we're inside," I replied after a moment's thought.
The passage is not very long, after walking for a while, it will come to the end, and it is facing the door, which is a half-open tomb door, Zhang Huanqing stepped forward and pushed open the tomb door hard, what appeared in front of us was a particularly spacious tomb, when we saw the huge coffin in the middle of the tomb, we knew that the goal of coming here this time was found.
"This is the main burial chamber, and we've finally found it." Brother Dao breathed a sigh of relief. Then he slowly walked towards the coffin in the middle of the main burial chamber.
Zhang Huanqing hurriedly grabbed Brother Dao, "Be careful, I don't know if there will be any mechanism, Karn came out of here, looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he encountered something in this main tomb to become like that." ”
"You have too much heart, there shouldn't be a problem, you see," Hou Zifeng said casually, and then pointed to a tomb door to the south of the main tomb that had not been completely closed, "He should have come from over there, and there should be something over there." ”
After Brother Dao saw the tomb door that had not been completely closed, he cautiously walked over, opened it to look out, and found that there was no movement, so he gently pushed the tomb door, knowing that he left a palm-wide gap before stopping. When he saw my puzzled eyes, he smiled, "Just in case, if something bad happens, there is a place to escape." ”
I nodded abruptly. Slowly observing the situation inside the tomb.
On the walls of the tomb around the tomb, there are some murals carved, which are different from those seen in the previous tombs, and the murals in this tomb describe the deeds of the owner of this tomb.
On the east wall of the tomb, a general is depicted, kneeling on the main hall, surrounded by some officials, and above the main hall sits a person, who should be the emperor, and the general kneeling on the main hall seems to be receiving some order,
The southern wall depicts the general leading thousands of horses and horses to confront the enemy on a plain, then wave his hand and charge forward with the army behind him. The two armies fought together.
On the west wall of the tomb, the general is depicted after his victory, and the people around him wave to them. Then it was time to receive the emperor's reward in the main hall.
The last one depicts the generals dying on the battlefield, winning the final victory, and the people carrying the general's body back to the city. In the back is a scene of many craftsmen building tombs.
After seeing these murals, I sighed a little that this general fought all his life, but in the end he still failed to enjoy his old age and died on the battlefield.
"Guosheng, come and see," Xia Ying shouted loudly on the side.
I turned around and saw her standing on the side of the coffin, looking at the top of the coffin. The top of the coffin, like the stone pillars I saw before, and the carving on the tomb door, was a hideous beast face.
This beast face keeps appearing, and I really don't understand what it means.
It wasn't until Hou Zifeng found a one-meter-high stele behind the coffin that I slowly remembered what this beast face was.
The stele was engraved with words that we couldn't read, but in the last line, I saw a word that made me suddenly clear. It was a bear character, which I had seen in an old book in our teacher's study, and my teacher had also answered it for me at the time, and there was a blurry picture attached to the book.
The Xia Dynasty is the first hereditary dynasty recorded in the history books, and there are many records about the Xia Dynasty in traditional Chinese documents, but because the book was written relatively late, and there is no known direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty, people have always questioned the authenticity of the existence of the Xia Dynasty. The book I saw in my teacher's study was also only vaguely recorded.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a dragon totem tribe, its leader was named Shaodian, who was a direct descendant of Fuxi and Nuwa in ancient times, and he had two wives, one named Ren Ji, and the other was called Fubao, the two of them were sisters, and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was born of Shaodian and Fubao, because of the birth of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, so this bear tribe also became famous. There is a bear, which means the king of the clan, and is the heir of the Chinese tribal leader Fuxi Nuwa, a hereditary dragon totem.
And the Xia Dynasty, for the Yellow Emperor's great-great-grandson Ji Wenming was established, Ji Wenming, because of the great contribution to the control of water, was respected as Dayu, and later established the prototype of the slave state, called the country "Xia Hou"
And this hideous beast face is a bear face, which is a symbol of warriors in the last years of the Xia Dynasty. These are all things that the teacher explained to me after I saw the teacher's book.
And this also shows that this tomb is the tomb of a general in the last period of the Xia Dynasty, and he should have made many military exploits for the general, so he was named a warrior, and this hideous bear face was used.
It dawned on me, "This is the ancient tomb of the Xia Dynasty," I said with certainty.
They all looked at me in amazement, "Are you sure?" Brother Dao asked suspiciously.
"Well, the beast face is a symbol of the warrior in the last years of the Xia Dynasty, I saw it in my teacher's book, I never remembered it before, but now after reading the words on the stone tablet, I finally thought of it." I looked at him seriously.
"Xia Dynasty, does it really exist? Such an ancient tomb can be preserved to this day, and it has been stolen by me, hehe. Hou Zifeng smiled cheaply.
"Then is this one of the nine tripods cast by Dayu back then?" Zhang Huanqing touched the big ding next to the coffin with one hand, and asked me lightly.
I couldn't help but him walked away, "This... This.. Could it be the nine tripods cast by Dayu with the gold of Jiumu? "For me, who loves history, it really excites me to see such a legendary existence.
"Hey, look, there's light in that ding." Xia Ying said in surprise.
Our eyes were focused on the faint light emitted by Dingkou. However, just when we were very focused, there was a "boom". Frightened, we quickly turned around. found that Hou Zifeng couldn't wait to open the lid of the coffin.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's a bit big." He smiled wryly.
"Mad monkey, do you want to get something out of our noses again?" Zhang Huanqing looked at him coldly.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I'm just opening it for you to see, it's so heavy, it's not good to be tired of you." He had a look of awe.
Brother Dao coughed, "Okay, let's open the coffin first and see if there is anything we are looking for in it." As he spoke, he pulled the iron hammer from his waist.
"Oh, I didn't expect we to have a Xieling faction here." Hou Zifeng glanced at Brother Dao in surprise.
Zhang Huanqing also pulled out the weird-looking "magic sparrow" from his waist. When he drew out the short blade, it attracted Hou Zifeng's fiery eyes.
"I'll give you the golden knife, and I'll add all my belongings in exchange for your "magic sparrow," Hou Zifeng stared at the short blade in Zhang Huanqing's hand with green eyes.
Brother Dao sneered, "Don't think about it, he won't change it, you think that's what you want, I told him a long time ago." ”
"I advise you not to fight it, and be careful that I put some color on you." Zhang Huanqing just said lightly.
After hearing Zhang Huanqing's words, the two of them shut up and didn't speak.
And I also took out the knife that Zhang Huanqing gave me for self-defense when I set off, and there was a grimace on the handle, and the dagger with a pitch-black blade.
"Damn, what are you little scholar doing with this, bring it quickly, don't hurt yourself." Hou Zifeng screamed strangely and pounced on me. But before he could get close to me, Zhang Huanqing's short blade was already horizontal in front of him, "Half a step forward, this "magic sparrow" will leave a permanent mark on you. He stared at Hou Zifeng coldly, and Brother Dao, who was also about to step forward, stopped abruptly after hearing this.
