Lu Nuonuo led me to a path behind the camp, and neither of us spoke on the way, probably because we were both on our minds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I observed my surroundings while silently comparing in my mind to the direction I had taken when I had entered the corridor in my dream.

Coincidentally, the route was headed in exactly the same direction as the dry river we were going underground.

Even though I knew it didn't mean anything, I kept my guard on my toes. It's full of shrubs and vines, and it's growing fast, and although the road is clearly cleared, it's still not particularly easy to walk.

The two of us walked all the way up the hillside with the branches and vines on the road, and soon saw the sacrificial place where Li Xiang had told Lu Nuonuo that had unearthed the fragments of the ghost seal.

The reason why I can get to know this sacrificial place is not that I have the ability to remember it, but that this place has been excavated on a large scale.

I saw that in this open field, which is about the size of two football fields, all the decay layers and fallen leaves have been cleared, and more than a dozen rectangular or stepped archaeological pits have been cut out of the ground.

I was a little shocked by the scale of these archaeological pits, so many archaeological pits, it seems that Chen Xiyu's team is indeed not small, and they actually carried out a rescue archaeological excavation of this Yan family's tomb.

This is really in line with Chen Xiyu's character. However, seeing this situation made me even more worried. Logically speaking, it is very difficult for such a rescue archaeological excavation to produce an extinction disaster.

On the one hand, this form of archaeology determines the environment of open-air archaeology, which is very different from the robbery hole and directly entering the tomb.

First of all, the air inside the ancient tomb is a problem, the air under the entire ancient tomb may be very dirty due to the confined environment for many years, and some of the decomposing toxins of the corpse are accumulated inside, which can easily cause harm to tomb robbers who rush into the tomb.

In this regard, the habit of lighting candles in the southeast corner of the tomb is partly due to air quality considerations.

Secondly, putting aside the feng shui of the tomb, the advantage of digging directly from the top down is that it can fundamentally solve the problems about the tomb organs, with a large number of light sources intervening, the organs themselves designed by taking advantage of the dark environment of the tomb will largely lose their effect due to direct exposure to sunlight.

The excavation of the archaeological pit is quite rigorous, not only the surrounding grave pits are very neat, but even the most central position is actually covered with several large military tents, which seems to be afraid that some anaerobic cultural relics will be damaged by rain.

Lu Nuonuo and I glanced at each other and decided to explore the surroundings before making plans.

Looking at the graves one after another, I found that the pits were marked next to the graves that belonged to a certain part of the entire Yin Tomb, and even the signs made a simple record of some of the artifacts unearthed inside.

Looking at the handwriting on the signs, I can be sure that these signs are indeed Chen Xiyu's handwriting.

I crouched down, reached out and touched the edge of the grave, and frowned when I looked at the black water inside the grave.

"No wonder they're going to carry out salvage excavations, the water here seems to be quite bad." Lu Nuonuo threw a small branch into the grave pit, and said as he watched the ripples of the branch hitting the water.

I agree with him that the humid climate of Heizhugou is not suitable for this kind of burial, and I don't know what method the original ancients used to isolate this yin tomb from moisture.

But it's a pity that although Li Xiang is also a member of the Institute of Archaeology, his archaeological skills seem to be inferior to those of some craftsmen who go to the ground to touch gold, so after their destruction, the waterproof layer in the ancient tomb will naturally be completely destroyed.

Therefore, Chen Xiyu had to use rescue excavation methods.

However, looking at the workload of this construction site, it should be far more than 30 people, and even if things have been going on for a month, it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to complete this kind of progress.

It's just that what I don't understand is what happened to Chen Xiyu and them, why all thirty people seem to have evaporated.

Obviously, it was only the wolf smoke that was lit yesterday morning, but today it is gone, did they escape, or were they swallowed up by this nightmare tomb?

I don't know, and I can't think clearly.

Lu Nuonuo stood up at this time, rubbed the soil on his hands, and said to me: "It's useless to stand here, let's go into the archaeological tent and go around." ”

I nodded and approved of Lu Nuonuo's proposal. If it is an archaeological excavation, Chen Xiyu will definitely carefully record every detail in the entire excavation incident. This should be her habit since she was a child.

Recalling Chen Xiyu, I followed Lu Nuonuo into a tent closer to the center.

Pulling back the curtain of the tent, I found that there were a large number of funerary goods piled up inside, although I had already seen the rich Shabalam and the treasures in the tomb of the gods of the five directions.

But I couldn't help but marvel at what was inside the tent.

Although the contents of this tent were not very shocking, there was not so much gold and silver, and there were not many bronzes, but the strange stone beast with its ingenious craftsmanship was simply a rarity.

Stone beasts come in large and small shapes, and they not only look different in form, but also have unique carvings. The most important thing is that the broken location of these stone beasts can clearly see the bones in the body of the stone beasts.

Lu Nuonuo and I were shocked, how did the stone have animal bones, could it be carved into it?

Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, but I immediately rejected the ridiculous idea.

Maybe these stones can really grow bones, because I've seen a living stone beast once, and that's the one that gave birth to the womb!

But were there once thousands of births here? That's incredible, too.

I really can't believe it, because there are so many stone beasts here that I can't let go, could it be that there are really many stones in this world thousands of years ago?

Lu Nuonuo reached out and picked up a palm-sized stone rabbit, reached out and pulled out a dagger and slashed it towards the rabbit's claws with all his strength.

Sure enough, the originally intact stone rabbit was cut open, and the bones inside could be clearly seen.

I smiled and said to Lu Nuonuo, "Shouldn't we have entered the territory of Medusa, the fallen goddess in Greek mythology?" Otherwise, how did these stone carvings do it? (To be continued.) )
