Chapter XVIII, Frescoes

We don't know how long we walked in this narrow passage, anyway, I feel that it is not much worse than twenty minutes, the diameter of this passage is only a little more than a meter, and if you look up slightly, you will hit your head, because it is bent over, so it is more tiring to walk.

When we walked through this narrow passage to a relatively large space, we were already sweating, at the beginning, we could still hear the movement of those ghost ants chasing over, when we walked out of this passage, the sound gradually disappeared, it seemed to retreat, I don't know why, the heart said that it was not a lot of chasing, or this area was not under their control to retreat, are they sub-regional, I don't understand, but it was also a flash,

This should be a very long corridor, according to common sense, this area belongs to the plateau, it is relatively dry, there will be no water in the tomb, and this pipe-like passage we just walked should not be part of the drainage system.

We looked around with the lights, and found that there were many murals on the top of this corridor and on some of the walls, and then I turned back and used the wolf's eye flashlight to illuminate the passage where it came, and the ghost ants did not chase after me, and I was relieved.

At this time, the old horse said: "Haha, we have finally arrived at the underground palace!" ”

"Oh? How so? I looked at him tirelessly.

The old horse squinted his eyes and smacked his lips: "Smack, you don't understand this," said he shook the searchlight in this corridor with the searchlight in his hand, "Come, you see, where we are now, this is the legend, the echo gallery that will only exist in large tombs, no one knows when it started, anyway, it became a large tomb must have a Peugeot, this from the perspective of feng shui, is to take this echo gallery of this echo word, it may be that the ancients knew that there is no hope for immortality, So I want to be reborn after death to return to the world, building this echo gallery is probably this meaning, this echo gallery is built in the outermost part of the entire underground palace, equivalent to the entire underground palace of the South Heavenly Gate, from the analysis of modern architecture, it is equivalent to a hotel vestibule, the first entrance, and the only entrance, you say that we are not to the underground palace. He looked at the monkey again with excitement, "Do you say, ah, monkey,"

The monkey ignored him, just nodded slightly. Listening to Lao Ma say a lot of nonsense, I suddenly felt bored. However, the cynical attitude of the old horse can indeed relieve the tense nerves in this kind of place.

The place we are in now is in the cross-section of this corridor, that is to say, we have directly bypassed the stone gate of the tomb through this passage, and the tomb door of this tomb is on our left at this time, and the light is shining, and the tap stone behind the golden gate is faintly visible.

Then the old horse said, "Hey! I said, everyone, the passage we just came over shouldn't be a robbery hole, you see that the tap stone of the tomb door hasn't been touched yet, uh. ”

I shook my head, "Oh, whatever, as long as I can come in." "Saying that, I used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine on those murals, and found that in addition to the paintings, there are also some carvings on the wall, which are very well preserved, without too many cracks or damages, and Lao Ma said that the murals in the tomb are all about the scenes of the tomb owner's life.

The first scene I saw was a tall old man painted on the wall, dressed in fat clothes, with a comfortable face playing with a white snake, the white snake was painted vividly, I went closer to see, the white snake also had a horn on its head, it turned out to be the same as the white snake we just met in the trap, it seems that the tomb owner was this kind of poisonous snake as a pet during his lifetime, and it was also placed in the tomb after death, and then it multiplied.

The light turned to the side, and the second mural I saw was still the scene of this tall old man, this time not playing with snakes, but appearing on a boat, the mural appeared only the bow part of the whole boat, this old man and another person dressed similarly to him stood on the bow of the boat and looked into the distance, in terms of proportion, the boat was quite large, I don't know what it meant.

This boat has been there as early as ancient times, the so-called "view of the fallen leaves because it has become a boat", that is, the ancients saw the scene of the fallen leaves drifting on the water, so they were inspired to build a boat, it is said that the earliest ships have been there 10,000 years ago, the original boats are simple canoe, like such a large ship on the mural, the earliest should not exceed the Qin Dynasty, Boss Zhang said that this is a Han tomb, from the time of the same.

I continued to move the lights to the side, and on the third painting, there were three boats sailing on the vast water, and there was an island on the water, and the three boats were heading towards the island, and from the waves on the water, it could be seen that the painting should be the sea.

Then I looked at the others, there is no text on these murals, and I don't know what the identity of the protagonist on this mural is, and the next few are all describing the construction scene, I was dazzled and didn't know what to do.

Just when we all scattered and came to visit, the old horse suddenly shouted: "Hey! Guys, come and see what this is,"

I just watched all the fascination, then when I heard the call of the old horse, I immediately reacted, only to find that I was far away, then I turned to look at the position of the old horse, and found that he was bending over to look at an object, and then everyone gathered around, and looked closer, the object was a blue and white porcelain vase.

The old horse said, "Hey! Fuck here, why do you put a bottle for no reason, and it looks like it's still a Yuan Qinghua, a few meanings,"

As soon as I heard what Yuan Qinghua was, I thought about how this Yuan Qinghua could appear in the Han tomb, and I was puzzled, and suddenly remembered one thing when I thought of it, that is, the problem of white phosphorus appeared in the gossip secret passage, and my heart said that this white phosphorus was first discovered by Western alchemists four hundred years ago, and the time difference between this Han tomb is more than a thousand years.

Thinking about it, he said: "In this case, it's a little suspicious, and the white phosphorus we just encountered." ”

When the old horse heard it, he also remembered: "Eh! Yes, these are all things that appeared later, or this is a very large family tomb, after spanning a thousand years, there are later generations of clansmen to take care of it, it is estimated that the white phosphorus mechanism was later rebuilt, if so, what does this blue and white porcelain vase mean here. ”

When the old horse handed the cigarette to the monkey, the monkey said that he would not smoke, and he was also a little sensitive to the smell of smoke, so he walked away, saying that we should study here, and he would like to look elsewhere, and we nodded.

Now the three of us were left standing here, smoking cigarettes and studying the blue and white porcelain vase, which was about half a meter high, and had a lid on it, as if it contained something.

The old horse smoked a cigarette and said, "Eh! I said, "I guess there's some millennium of wine here, and if that's the case, it's worth the old money." As he spoke, the old horse tapped the bottle a few times with the searchlight in his hand, making a dull sound, without that kind of epilogue and trill, indicating that there must be something here.
