Chapter 409: The Coffin in the Ear Chamber
The sound of the chain came from the tomb, and everyone was shocked, and Gao Chao secretly said that it was not good, Xia Qing was still over there, would there be any danger.
He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he rushed back to the tomb with a torch, but as soon as he ran in, he saw Xia Qing standing next to the stone bird, looking at the stone wall on the side of the tomb in a daze.
Gao Chao thought that Xia Qing had fallen into evil again, and immediately rushed towards her in two steps, and without saying a word, he hugged her in his arms, wanting to take her out of this tomb.
However, he hadn't taken a step yet, but Xia Qing sighed in his arms and whispered, "You haven't hugged enough, have you?" ”
Gao Chao was taken aback, hugged her and stopped, only to find that Xia Qing's face was red to the base of his neck, and he hung his head and bit his lip, looking shy at the mercy of him.
Seeing this, Gao Chao was already at a loss, and hurriedly put Xia Qing down, he didn't know what to say in his mouth, and he didn't know where to put his two hands, in short, the whole person couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
In contrast, Xia Qing is much calmer, just blushing, reflected in the firelight, showing the unique shy beauty of a woman.
In order to break the embarrassment, Gao Chao immediately asked, "You...... Are you alright? ”
This was originally nonsense, so Xia Qing didn't answer, but looked directly at the stone wall on the side of the tomb and said, "Look over there, the stone door has been opened." ”
Gao Chao noticed that the stone door on one side of the tomb, which was originally tightly closed, had indeed been opened.
Then his spirit finally tensed again, looked inside the dark door, and said, "How did this stone door open?" ”
Xia Qing pointed towards the stone bird. "Look at the tail of the stone bird." It is the organ of activity. Just now I suspected that the problem should be on this stone bird, so I returned to the tomb and found that the corpse pill in the stone bird's mouth was gone, and then continued to check, only to find that the tail of the stone bird was active, I stepped down with my foot, and the stone door on this side opened. ”
Gao Chao nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is the same as what Liu Blind analyzed, and he said that the problem is the Peacock Town Corpse Pill." What do you say about the peacock sandalwood turning into the wind, now it seems that this is indeed the case, because the corpse pill has been completely dissolved in the mouth of the stone bird, so there is no confusion in this tomb. ”
Xia Qing listened carefully, but he was puzzled: "There is such a thing, but only by putting the corpse pill into the bird's beak will the mechanism be activated, and only in this way will the people who come into the tomb see the murals on the stone wall that can be changed, but this is it." Those who saw the murals on the stone wall would not be bewitched by the aspiration of the corpse suppression pill. At the end of the day, what does that do? People who have seen the murals will also be in danger or even die, and I really don't know what the owner of this tomb really meant. ”
Gao Chao couldn't think of the truth for a while, but someone suddenly said behind him: "This corpse pill has turned into a demonic qi, although it has the ability to bewitch people's hearts, but it also has another important purpose. ”
Gao Chao looked back, and it turned out to be Liu Blind and the four of them also entered this tomb again.
He came to the stone bird and continued: "The corpse suppression pill is made of peacock sandalwood, even if it is turned into gas, it can also play a role in corpse suppression and embalming, so letting this gas spread throughout the tomb may be the real intention of the tomb designer." ”
Xia Qing was puzzled and said: "But in this way, the people who enter here will inhale this gas and die crazy because of the activation of the mechanism, although they can see the murals on the stone wall, but they can't tell anyone the content of these murals at all, which is too unreasonable." ”
Liu Blind smiled slightly, and said: "This is actually very easy to understand, judging from the murals, the owner of the tomb here is very likely to be the King of Loulan himself, of course, he hopes to be worshiped and recognized by future generations forever, but after all, this is his underworld dormitory, how can people come to commit at will, so he came up with such a way, even if the intruder enters the mausoleum, let them watch his great exploits, and give birth to awe and worship from the bottom of their hearts, and then unconsciously let these intruders be poisoned and confused." , stripped himself naked, and after being humiliated, he jumped down from the forty or fifty-meter high platform and was martyred for the king of Loulan, so ......"
Although Liu Blind was wearing a pair of sunglasses, he could still see that his face was full of awe, and continued: "So the mechanism setting in this ancient tomb is really ingenious and original, and it is definitely a classic work among the tomb organs." ”
Everyone listened to his words and nodded, Liu Blind analyzed it very well, and even the fat man couldn't help but sigh with emotion, impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.
But though the fat man was listening to him, he had already snuck up to the stone door that had just been opened, and peeked in with a torch.
Gao Chao found out about his actions and hurriedly shouted: "Fatty, you still want to cause trouble?" ”
The fat man smiled back, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Come and see, everyone, there seem to be a few big coffins in the tomb next to here." ”
Only then did everyone walk towards the door of the tomb, and after the last time they were stunned, everyone did not dare to despise this ancient tomb anymore, and they all trembled and cautiously, and no one stepped into it.
The crowd held torches and peeked in.
The burial chamber behind the stone gate is a little smaller than the main burial chamber in the middle, but it is also very spacious, and it is indeed similar to what the fat man said, there are a few coffins, but more precisely, it is not a coffin, but a coffin.
Xia Qing stood at the door and said: "The design of this tomb does have some characteristics, generally in the ancient tomb, the coffin is placed in the main tomb, and the burial goods are placed in the ear chamber on both sides, but this ancient tomb is just the opposite, the entire main tomb is more like a trap, and the ear chamber is the place where the coffin is placed, which is really interesting." ”
Blind Liu snorted and said: "Miss Xia, I'm afraid you still have to learn more, the characteristics of the tombs of the ancient kingdoms of the Western Regions, many of them are the opposite of the ancient tombs dominated by the Han tombs, although they are also influenced by the Han tombs in the form of tombs, but in the layout and institutional settings, they are often not confined to tradition, and continue to innovate and develop, so we have summed up a sentence in the long-term excavation process, called ' Ten tombs in a hundred miles are nine different', which means that there are actually many tombs in the Western Regions, and there will be ten ancient tombs in almost a hundred miles, but the ancient tombs are not the same, which is the truth. ”
Xia Qing listened very carefully, nodded and said, "Thank you, Professor Liu, for your guidance, the students have been taught." ”
Liu Blind talked eloquently, but Gao Chao was not very interested, he just wanted to escape from this mountain range as soon as possible and go to the 12th place, which was the focus of their mission.
