At first, Stern thought it was just that he was mistaken, because it was not the first time in the past few years that he had seen this strange thing in a dream, let alone the strange experience of the past few days, so it was normal to have this delusion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

So he swept towards the dry corpse defensively, only to find that the dry corpse's face had not been smiling at all, except for a pair of deep eye sockets that had been staring at him.

"Look! There seems to be a hole here! Donnie behind him suddenly pointed to a dark spot behind him.

The glow of the fire from the burning corpse reflected that there was indeed a dark shadow on the ground not far from Donnie's side, and several stones were pried aside next to the black shadow. Stern didn't care about the strange dried corpse, so he walked over by the firelight to take a look, and there was indeed a hole that could accommodate a person, and the bottom of the hole seemed to be unfathomable, and there seemed to be a wind blowing out.

Donnie looked at the hole and said, "Could this be the hole dug by this Chinese?" ”

"Quite possibly, but why would he dig a hole here?" Stern couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Is there any treasure in the ground? Could this be why this Chinese is here? ”

Anne swept the black hole with a torch, and found that the earth hole had been dug into a diagonal direction to the right, and there was a series of taircase-like grooves on the wall of the cave, which obviously looked like someone had stepped on the grooves to go down into the hole.

"Is he a grave robber?"

"That's right! I remembered when I heard you say that! I've heard that many thieves in China like to wear black clothes when they steal at night. Among them, there is a kind of special sneaking into the tombs of wealthy families to steal valuable utensils from the burial of the deceased. The corpse was dressed in black and had a compass, and it looked like it had come to dig a hole and steal treasure. ”

Stern had heard many Chinese businessmen talk about this kind of thing before, and when he talked about tomb robbers, he gritted his teeth, because in Chinese Han culture, people will put the dead in wooden coffins for burial after death. If conditions permit, a piece of feng shui treasure will be selected, and the items that the deceased liked before his death will be put into the grave and buried. If the burial place is well chosen, it will bring good luck to future generations.

Therefore, they have always valued the feng shui of ancestral graves, thinking that if their ancestral graves are dug up, it will be bad luck.

It is said that it is precisely because of this that the tomb robbers appear to be ordinary people on the surface, and few people know their true identities. And because what he did was an illegal act that hurt nature and reason, it damaged yin morality. Therefore, they will not act in a big way, usually pretending to be a normal person during the day, and go around the ancestral tombs of some dignitaries and dignitaries, and at night they will secretly find a place that can be closest to the coffin of the deceased, and dig a hole little by little in the easiest hidden location, and go down to the coffin of the deceased to take away their valuable burial goods. Some tomb robbers have a bit of strength, and even specifically look for the tombs of the former emperor's relatives, which has formed a mysterious profession in ancient China.

Then it is obvious that this dried corpse is likely to dig a robbery hole in this place to find the burial goods in the underground mausoleum. But Stern couldn't figure it out, the grotto they were in didn't look like a mausoleum, it was just an ordinary ground building, so what could be buried underneath?

He told Anne all his conjectures and asked her if the cave would be a Khmer tomb.

"Impossible! The size of this grotto is not even up to the main hall of a temple, it does not look like a mausoleum. This place is more like a small part of the complex of a temple of reincarnation, and I think it is more like a pavilion for people to rest and enjoy the shade. And I have never heard of the Khmer people have the habit of burial, they are all cultural customs are inherited from the religion of ancient India, and India is used to cremation, water burial. ”

"Is it possible that they want to dig a thief hole to reach the Temple of Reincarnation? Because didn't the professor say that the temple of reincarnation has a large number of treasures left over from the previous Khmer Dynasty? ”

"I think this is possible, because in the past, in India, whether it was a Brahmin temple or a Buddhist temple, as long as the religion of the king and the common people believed in, most of them would treasure all kinds of treasures donated by the congregants, the royal class and the wealthy class, in order to ask for the blessing of the gods."

"But isn't the Temple of Reincarnation a temple? How did it become a tomb again? Besides, didn't you say that the Khmers practiced cremation according to the custom of the ancient Indians? ”

"It's not impossible, the Angkor Temple that we have discovered so far was built by the most powerful king of the Angkor Dynasty, Suryavarman II, because he believed in one of the three major gods of Hinduism, Vishnu, so the Angkor Temple he built was mainly dedicated to Vishnu. Some of these archaeologists suspect that the Angkor temple may have been a pagoda temple built for himself by Suryavarman II. If this statement is correct, then it is likely that the temple itself was a tower temple built by the king after his death, so it is not surprising that it contains the king's bones and the treasures buried with it. ”

Although Anne analyzed this, it was obvious that she knew that there were no king's bones and treasures at Angkor Temple now, after all, hundreds of years had passed, and even if there were, it was long gone.

But what she couldn't understand was why this tomb robber from China dug a hole here, there was still such a long distance from the temple of reincarnation, they could go directly into the temple and steal it, because as far as she knew, the ancient Khmer people did not have the habit of burying valuable things in the ground, they preferred to be closer to the gods.

"Annie, look at the writing on this stone wall here!"

Stern and Anne were discussing the sudden hole when they heard Downey behind them say that they had found writing on the wall. Turning to look, he saw Donnie standing next to a stone wall, trying to make out what was written on the wall.

"What's written on it? I don't understand! Could it be that Chinese tomb robbers wrote it on it? ”

Then by the light of the torches, Anne recognized the lines of the words, not Chinese characters, but a Brahmi script, but as she tried to translate the meaning quickly in her head, she was amazed at the meaning!

Seeing her frowning, Stern asked her, "Anne, what does this mean?" I guess you showed me Sanskrit! ”

"Oh my God! This is a warning! It says don't stay in this grotto, don't try to get into it, it's dangerous! Let's get out of Samsara City right away! ”

"Wait! How did the person who wrote these words know that we are in the city of reincarnation? ”

"Because that's what the professor wrote on it! He also said let's stop trying to find him! ”
