The soil under the ground is as black as ink, the walls are not completely dry, there is a trace of moisture on the soil, and the footprints on the ground are clearly visible, with a certain viscosity.

At first, the underground passage was only allowed to be walked through by one person, but as it progressed deeper and wider, the remains of human activity began to appear underground—a few bottles of mineral water, a few cans of beef, and a mess of discarded plastic bags.

Zhu Beichen felt slightly nervous and frightened, there was no mural on the wall that the ancient tomb should have, but something else appeared.

Rows of irregular scratches, like marks left by a group of people desperately scratching the walls before dying, it stands to reason that the depth of hundreds of meters underground, the nearby groundwater should be poured in, but this sun tomb obviously uses an unknown waterproof method, and the soil layer is only a little wet.

He hummed violently to relieve the uneasiness in his heart:

Return to the meeting place

I realized that I didn't know about you

……

I walked alone on a lonely long street

Memories replay the scene

……

If I could meet you again

Let the love still be the same, and the dream can come true

We are at different times

Think about every misunderstanding

The song echoed over and over again in the underground tomb, and the vicissitudes of life and affectionate rhyme constantly dispelled the low temperature and cold and depressed mood in the Sun Tomb.

It seemed to touch Zhang Chu's heartstrings, and he stopped with a little irritation: "Stop singing, be quiet." ”

The tomb road did not go straight forward, but meandered straight down, the depth was still deepening, and the gloomy road seemed to extend to the center of the earth, and several people began their silent journey again.

For the first time on the road at the end of the road, there is a cross-shaped fork in the middle, and in the center of the intersection stands a huge bronze pillar, which is rusty, up to three meters in diameter, and the upper and lower ends are submerged in the earth.

Zhu Beichen stroked the bronze pillar in shock: "How did the ancient Lop Nur people transport such a thick copper pillar in, and what kind of process was used to smelt it." ”

The two of them seemed to have become accustomed to the situation building underground, and they were not at all surprised.

Mr. W hesitated, and began to crouch down again, his customary dog nose sniffing the scent of the earth.

"Aren't you under the tomb? Are there any people who don't know the road conditions in their homes? Zhu Beichen asked.

"What do you know, there is more than one layer under the Sun Tomb, and there are nine twists and eighteen bends between each passage, just like a huge labyrinth, if you are not careful, you can go around the underground for a lifetime, and in the end it will be the same."

Zhang Chu said sharply, and at the same time stepped on the white bones of the next side with his foot, Zhu Beichen noticed that the bones were already covered with moss, which was very terrifying.

At this point, Mr. W got up, his eyes twinkling, and he didn't quite point out a direction.

More than ten minutes later, a metal barrier door appeared at the end of the walkway, with a silver alloy texture, indicating that this was the product of modern metallurgical technology.

The inexplicable appearance of the alloy tomb door was incompatible with the surrounding ancient and deep tomb environment, Zhu Beichen looked surprised, and said secretly: "Why does this kind of door appear in the ancient tomb, has it been transformed by this group of people, or is this a secret base?" ”

Mr. W's face was unusually solemn, he looked at Zhang Chu and asked, "Is there a way to turn it on?" ”

Zhang Chu said: "Directional blasting, this should be the edge of the base, and then find a way down after entering." ”

Edge of the base! To keep going down, how deep does the Sun Tomb go beneath the Lop Nur strata? Zhu Beichen silently watched the behavior of these two people.

"If you use explosives underground, you won't be afraid of the collapse of the cemetery?" Zhu Beichen sneered coldly.

"Hmph, don't underestimate the craftsmen of ancient times, the walls here are all wet and watery, this is deliberate. This process is deliberately designed to ensure the sturdiness of the buildings under the tomb of the sun, although I don't know how they work. Mr. W said.

The smell of decay spreads in the air, and a breeze rises from the ground for no reason!

Without hesitation, the two decided to blow up the roadblock, and Zhang Chu took out a small piece of detonator, gunpowder, tin foil and other items from his backpack, and got busy nervously.

The formed explosives were attached to the aluminum alloy door panel, and the three of them hurriedly pushed more than 20 meters away, and then the sound of blasting sounded, and the tomb was filled with smoke.

Zhang Chu laughed "sneering", and was very satisfied with his craft: "Let's go, hurry in!" ”

He urged, but before the smoke and dust could disperse, the aluminum alloy door had disappeared, and the incandescent light behind the door illuminated half of the tomb.

The scene behind the door is a bit eerie, the incandescent light seems to be coming through the surrounding stone walls, but there is no modern building here except the light source, but a burial chamber!

Completely enclosed, with no doors, no exits, a pure aluminum metal floor, and a surrounding wall and top structure, the entire burial chamber appears to be a metal coffin.

Zhu Beichen walked along the metal wall, his hand carefully caressing every wall, the welding process between the walls was very superb, there were no slight cracks, it was completely like a natural formation, and even a thin piece of paper could not be cut into the corner.

Knocking on the metal wall again, it made an extremely dull sound, it seemed that the back of the wall was solid, and the thickness of the steel plate was really terrifying, even with explosives, I am afraid that it would not be able to explode.

"We're in a desperate situation, maybe we could consider going back." Zhu Beichen was sure that the two would not follow his advice, and he didn't even have hope when he said this.

In the end, the eyes of the three of them stayed on the huge sarcophagus in the center of the metal burial chamber, and there was no imprint left on the coffin, and the identity of the owner of the coffin was just standing there quietly, motionless!

Zhu Beichen tentatively asked the two for their opinions: "Open the coffin and take a look, maybe what's inside?" ”

Mr. W turned off the flashlight and did not say anything. Zhang Chu took out two cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to Zhu Beichen, and smoked it by himself, he was very addicted to smoking.

Zhu Beichen held a cigarette in his mouth, walked to the sarcophagus, and lifted the coffin lid with one hand, the weight was not as heavy as he imagined, the inside should be a hollow structure, and looked at the surface of the coffin lid, the voice was really a little ethereal.

Zhang Chu slowly walked over to help, his hands trembled a little, the cigarette butt shook slightly, looked at the sarcophagus, blinked his lips twice, and didn't say anything.

With the joint efforts of the two, the lid of the stone coffin, which was about 100 catties or so, was opened, fell to the metal floor, and smashed with a violent sound.

The things placed on the coffin bed were a bit unexpected for the two, it was not a corpse, nor was it a burial vessel, which made the two of them a little crying and laughing, no wonder the coffin lid was designed so light.
