Chapter 43: The Mermaid 03

It's a burial chamber full of weird elements.

With the white jade carefully polished nine layers of steps as the dividing line, the entire tomb is layered into three layers, the most seriously damaged is this first layer, except for the bronze mirror and copper tripod and other large objects were washed by the water and lying on the ground, basically nothing remained, let alone what this layer of the tomb looked like originally.

"If these treasures can be shipped out, the archaeological community will be shocked again."

Zhang Yang held up the flashlight and flipped through this like an old pedant, looking at that, with a very serious expression.

The upper floor of the White Jade Ninth Order is the layout of a palace building, and the luxurious large wooden box that we first discovered also appeared on this second floor.

I straightened up, my flashlight sweeping across the ground in front of me, "Say, who is the one who planted the explosives here?" ”

Zhang Yang shook the flashlight around, and said a little casually: "Maybe it is, maybe not." ”

"What is it?" I asked.

"Can you detonate explosives underwater?" He asked me suddenly.

"No, but maybe modern technology can." I'm serious.

"What about more than 100 years ago?"

I shook my head and said, "I guess not." ”

"No, what's the point of you discussing this with me now?" I say.

Zhang Yang took the flashlight and started to walk up the steps, just as he stepped on the last floor, I heard a very slight sound of metal cracking, and then I felt something fall on my nose, and reached out to wipe it, it was dust.

"Come up, use a jack."

"It's useless." Rushing up the nine steps in three or two steps, one turned around and fired three shots at the upper left of us by feeling, but the angle of the shot was different, the sound of the gun echoed, I counted the seconds in my heart, ten seconds, and the success or failure was here.

Under the miner's lamp, the dust falling from the sky became larger and larger, and a gray patch could already be seen, and in five seconds, this situation was alleviated, and as the dust fell to the ground, a long black shadow under the light also appeared in front of them.

Zhang Yang turned on the headlamp, and with the help of the headlamp's extremely strong light tube, I saw the legendary Broken Dragon Stone, which was just above our heads, less than half a meter or so.

The miner's lamp was held above his head, and the whole piece of broken dragon stone was one meter wide, and the length could not be estimated, but according to the area of this tomb, it could be deduced that this broken dragon stone must be more than 100 meters. 、

Zhang Yang turned off his headlamp and asked me, "How do you know where the mechanism is?" “

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and restocked my gun with bullets as I said, "Do you believe me when I say I guess?"

"Guess?" Zhang Yang's flashlight shook a few times on the top of the Broken Dragon Stone, "You can guess this?" “

I checked the condition of the gun, then put it back in the test bag, and said, "I really guessed, but there is luck in it, okay, let's go, this should be no more than 300 meters away from the main burial chamber, and I am afraid that you can see the main burial chamber door with binoculars." “

Zhang Yang stood in place, he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't say anything, and followed me and began to officially enter the second floor of the burial room, which can also be said to be the second area.

This palace-like building can be said to be a collection of the essence of all aspects of ancient Chinese architectural art, the center of the nine-step staircase in the front is engraved with a lifelike golden phoenix, around the phoenix, the sky fire descends, the whole white jade stone sculpture looks like a white cloud falling from the sky, that kind of beauty is a kind of can not be expressed in words, that feeling is also difficult to remind people of what should be in the world at this time.

Even though Zhang Yang and I are also people who have seen the world, there are no less than 100 treasures, but this situation is also the first time to see, looking around, wherever I can see, there are daily necessities used by the tomb owner during his lifetime, each of which is extremely exquisite, I don't even dare to touch it, I am afraid that once I touch them, these treasures will lose their aura instantly because of the mundane and cheesy they carry.

Zhang Yang is the same as me, he just looks, and doesn't touch it with his hands, the two of us are separated from the left and right, starting from both sides, taking pictures as we go, because I feel that although I don't have the opportunity to take these things out, and I don't have the opportunity to let later people in, I can at least leave some memories for myself.

Half an hour had passed by the time they walked to the middle of the meeting, and there was nothing special to me, although there were a few things that I had not seen, but the approximate use of it could be deduced from its location and the utensils placed around it, and although it was precious, it was of no use to me. "Did you find anything?"

"Nope."

"Then let's go, there should be a discovery from above."

I nodded, turned on my headlamp, I have not been willing to use this headlamp, I am going to keep it when it is underwater, after all, if there is danger underwater, the degree of danger is far higher than that on land, but now it is not economical, after all, I am afraid that such a tomb will only be seen once in this life.

Zhang Yang and I walked up from both sides of the golden phoenix separately, standing within the scope of the third layer of the tomb, the surrounding air was instantly frozen by a cold from the ground, and I had inadvertently pulled the zipper of my jacket to the top, and also retracted my hands into my sleeves.

"Why is this place so cold?" I said to myself. "There should be an ice cellar." Zhang Yang spoke with a trill, obviously he was also holding on in the cold.

Ice cellar, I said in my heart that there is mercury in this place, I can understand, after all, mercury is preservative, but what is the role of the ice cellar? Is it the freezing method to prevent embalming?

I thought this in my heart, but Zhang Yang pointed to us directly in front of us and said, "The cold air is coming from this direction, and the main burial chamber is in front." ”

"Wait, don't you mess around, don't you think we're going too well?"

Zhang Yang glanced back at me, his flashlight shining in my face, and I turned my head sideways to dodge, "I'm serious." ”

"How many times have you been pitted in the tomb, why are you afraid, let me tell you, it's safe here," Zhang Yang shook his flashlight at me, turned and walked in the same direction.

I still trust his judgment, but such a quiet burial chamber always made me feel gross, and I said as I walked, "How can you be sure that this place is safe, there must be a basis." ”

Zhang Yang stopped, as if waiting for me, but looked at me, turned off the flashlight and turned on the miner's lamp, and said, "Look at what is here, and you will understand why I am sure that this place is safe." ”

I took a closer look at the third level as he said, and there weren't many treasures here, just a set of chimes and a large brass tripod, and I really didn't see anything else.

Suddenly, I noticed that this big tripod, the volume of this bronze tripod is too big, almost the size of a small living room, this head is not to say a tripod, that is, when a house to live in, there is a surplus, but such a big tripod, how did they transport it in, or rather, what is the use of transporting it in? Is it really used for that?"

Thinking of this possibility, a cold sweat broke out on my back. (To be continued.) )
