Chapter 45: Nine Rooms
"It's strange, since it's a lady, there are no funeral goods in these small rooms, they are just utensils. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "The bearded man has not smoked since he entered the small room, after all, the air is limited, thinking that Qinling is full of corpses of funeral goods, and there are zongzi everywhere blocking the way, he suddenly became curious.
"The burial goods are in a circular burial chamber, and the bones on the ground belong to the martyrs." I thought of the black smoke rising up.
"Isn't it better, lest they become zongzi again, chasing us everywhere, dangerous." Old K patted the decaying object on the ground that had just come into contact with him.
"The shape of this tomb is peculiar, with the circular tomb as the center, spreading outward, the farther away from the jade coffin, the more casual and arbitrary the Ming weapon, the jade coffin is undoubtedly the owner of the tomb." Pangolins conclusively said.
I have already recognized this, in fact, from the beginning, I believed that the woman in the jade coffin hanging in the void was the owner of the tomb.
"Yang liar, it's all clear, go straight in the northeast direction, there are a total of nine stone houses." I said to Yang Gang on the ground.
Yang Gang responded: "It's clear, there are nine rooms in total, stone houses of the same size, except for the last one, each of the rest has four doors." ”
"It is a stone house array arranged with a circular burial chamber as the center." The pangolin added, "You should go to the side door, it's still the same stone house." ”
"That's not right!" Suddenly, Shangguan Yaxiong shouted, "Think about it, if the stone houses are arranged with the circular tomb as the center and extending outward, then the stone houses we see should not all be square, but should have arcs, and the inner walls should be shorter than the outer walls. ”
In the end, it is still the girl who is careful, and wakes up the person in the dream with a word, this is common sense, we are actually careless.
"Hey, that's right!" I glanced at Shangguan Yaxiong with appreciation, and she was a little proud.
Unexpectedly, Yang Gang was not surprised by Shangguan Yaxiong's discovery at all, and just responded lightly: "Just take a look in the other rooms, if there is one." ”
"Where are we going?" I knew I was deep in a labyrinth that could be so great that I could get lost in it, so I didn't dare to walk through any door.
"Go in a clockwise direction." The pangolin glanced at the floor plan that Sun Xiaoya had drawn on the computer and said to me.
I nodded and glanced at the others, none of them objected, and then I said to Yang Gang, "Okay, you look at it." ”
The pangolin said in a clockwise direction, in front of us is a jade wall of Lantian jade, no door appears on the wall, if there is, we still have to rely on brute force to push it open, I glanced at the bearded man and the old K, the two of them were completely relentless at this time, and immediately walked towards the wall.
The bearded man and the old K are both relatively large, some have strength, and they already have experience, and under a push, another door appeared on the wall, and the strange stone door still opened inside.
The five of them entered the next room one by one, the room was dark, and the lighting depended entirely on the flashlight in our hands, and the five flashlights swept around the small stone house.
"The funerary goods in this room are the same as those next door, and there is nothing special, but unfortunately most of them have decayed and have little value." I glanced at the rotten Ming ware on the ground, mostly wooden, and partly lacquerware.
"Nothing out of the ordinary!" I said to Yang Gang on the ground.
Shangguan Yaxiong had completely focused on the problem she had discovered earlier, looked around the stone house and said to Yang Gang, "It's still a square room." ”
"It's not very scientific, one room after another, if it's centered on a circular burial chamber." Sun Xiaoya gestured with her hands in front of the laptop, and she no longer knew how to draw the floor plan of the tomb.
"If this is the case, then the shape of this tomb should not be round, otherwise it is impossible for the rooms to be square one after the other." I repeated Shangguan Yaxiong's words, and at the same time glanced at her, she happened to be staring at me as well, the girl's face was calmer, and the slight smug expression just now had been put away.
"You sketch a square plan and see what happens next." Yang Gang said to Sun Xiaoya on the side.
"Well, that's the only way to do it, otherwise this diagram won't be able to be drawn." Sun Xiaoya nodded.
Sun Xiaoya is quite familiar with computer operation, especially the drawing software, but in the absence of actual objects, it is indeed difficult for her to draw out of thin air, and more importantly, if the diagram drawn now is unscientific and cannot be completed according to the previous speculation.
Everyone searched through the piles of mostly rotten artifacts, looking for information that might be useful, but they didn't find the slightest.
In particular, the square seal that I was expecting to appear, there was no clue at all, not even an artifact with an inscription.
"Let's go down further!" Yang Gang made a sound of drinking water, and then said to us.
Old K patted the wall that was about to open and said, "I don't know how many rooms like this there are, if we keep opening like this, we will probably be exhausted to death." ”
Old K's complaint was justified, so I kept looking for that square wordless seal.
Still the old K and the bearded man, opened the stone door, and we entered again. We had opened two doors horizontally, entered the second room, had long forgotten our previous agreement, walked straight, and returned the way we came.
The second room, like the first, was littered with decaying funerary goods, but these things were all on the ground, near the base of the wall, and the rest of the room was very clean and spotless.
This is a very strange thing, and no one has been able to explain it so far.
With the circular burial chamber as the center, we were already nine rooms away, and based on our visual measurements, this distance should be at least eighty meters away.
If this is a large circular tomb, you can imagine how big this tomb is.
If this tomb is composed of square rooms, then how many rooms there are in this tomb is probably staggering.
"Qin Qi, don't stop, keep walking and see if you can walk back to where you were just now." Yang Gang said to me contemplatively.
I know what Yang Gang means, if you can walk back to the starting point, it means that this tomb is round, if you go to the end, but you can't go back to the starting point, then this tomb is not round.
"Yang liar, are you sure?" I asked Yang Gang if it was a dangerous thing to explore deep underground, but fortunately, there was still air in the tomb for us to breathe.
"I don't know." Yang Gang answered me dryly.
"It's not you who dare to take risks in this place dozens of meters underground, so you told us to continue, didn't you say okay, go straight to the end and return the same way? How is it going on now? "Shangguan Yaxiong is still worried about our safety, after all, we are very unfamiliar with this tomb at present, and even the tombs that have been excavated in history are not similar to this one.
