Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Phantom of Taocheng

After walking down the aisle, there is a stone staircase extending downward, and below the stone stairs is a super hall with a ceiling height of about 10 meters and an area of more than 1,000 square meters.

Under the illumination of more than a dozen strong lights, I saw that in this hall, there are all kinds of exquisite and exquisite colored statues, these statues have the images of dignitaries, generals and soldiers, as well as the appearance of city dealers, ordinary people, as well as horses, camels, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs and other animals, and in addition to these statues with different looks, there are also many houses and buildings in the hall, streets, bridges, rivers, completely like a prosperous ancient city.

When Professor Dong saw these colorful statues, he shouted excitedly, "Tang Sancai! These are Tang Sancai! ”

Professor Dong was immediately fascinated by these Tang Sancai, he walked down the stone steps, walked to the middle of Tang Sancai's glazed pottery, put on a pair of leather rubber gloves, and carefully stroked the exquisite artworks in front of him. Li Su also hurriedly raised his camera and kept shooting on the side.

Yu Fei asked in a low voice: "It turns out that this is Tang Sancai, is this thing very valuable now?" ”

Ding Laosan replied: "A few years ago, at Sotheby's New York auction, a pair of Tang Sancai pottery horses were auctioned for nearly two million US dollars, but such a beautiful Tang Sancai must greatly exceed this price. ”

Yu Fei made a rough calculation, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly: "A pair of Tao Ma shot two million US dollars!" There are nearly 1,000 figurines in it, and if it is calculated at one million US dollars, it is one billion US dollars, which is converted into almost six or seven billion yuan! ”

Luo Zi sighed on the side: "How did you make this thing, why is it so beautiful!" ”

Ye Lao said: "Tang Sancai is a kind of low-temperature lead-glazed pottery, and it is also the main burial object that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. The production method of Tang Sancai is to add different metal oxides to the color glaze, and after roasting, a variety of colors are formed, but most of them are yellow, brown and green, so now people are accustomed to calling this kind of colored glazed pottery Tang Sancai. Although there are a lot of Tang Sancai on the market, it is extremely rare to have such a beautiful Tang Sancai. ”

Just when everyone was paying attention to these Tang Sancai, Lei Kun was looking around, as if looking for something. Wang Qi happened to see it, so he asked, "Old Lei, what's wrong?" What are you looking at? ”

Lei Kun smiled: "Director Wang, I'm looking for a way to enter the inner city, it stands to reason that this should only be the outer city, and I haven't really entered the Qianling Underground Palace." ”

Ding Laosan happened to hear what Lei Kun said, and he pointed his hand to the opposite side of the hall: "Where is the passage, we can pass through the middle of this small city!" Hehe, just take a taste of the real Tang Dynasty folk customs! Ding Laosan has studied the secret map of Qianling for several months, and he has long been aware of the pattern distribution in this Qianling underground palace.

After Ding Laosan finished speaking, he strode down the stone steps, and everyone followed into the main street in the middle of the small city.

The glazed pottery figurines in this small city are the same size as life-size, and the demeanor is vivid, as if you have really entered the Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.

Yu Fei sighed: "Walking in here, you can imagine how prosperous Chang'an, the original Tang capital, was. ”

Ye Lao nodded: "Brother Yu is right, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the first large city in the history of the world to reach a population of one million, and it served as the center of the world at that time, attracting a large number of foreign envoys and worshippers. ”

"The center of the world? Wouldn't that be the equivalent of New York today? Luo Zi said.

"Hehe, if you talk about the status in the world alone, Chang'an City at that time is as good as New York now."

Everyone was chatting while walking, but Ding Laosan suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly, and pulled out the Xuantie Ancient Sword.

"Third Master, what's wrong?" The old ghost standing next to him asked.

"Damn! I just saw a figure flash in the attic on the left. Ding Laosan's words shocked everyone, and they all turned their heads to look to the left.

On the left side of the street is a two-storey attic, which looks like a restaurant, and there are many glazed pottery figurines standing or sitting upstairs and downstairs, which looks quite lively.

"Third master, you are dazzled, treat these figurines as living creatures." The old ghost stared at it for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

Ding Laosan rubbed his eyes: "Damn! Could it be that Lao Tzu is really dazzled. ”

Wang Qi smiled behind him: "It seems that these dolls made of three-color glazed pottery are too realistic, and they have deceived Ding Sanye's pair of divine eyes." ”

Seeing that there was indeed no movement, Ding Laosan put away the Xuantie Sword, and everyone continued to walk forward.

This main street is about sixty or seventy meters long, and there are many alleys on both sides, and everyone walked around the city, stopping and stopping along the way, and only walked out of the city after about half an hour.

Li Su took a lot of photos, which are all precious information, Professor Dong took the camera and looked through the photos to see what was still unfinished.

There is a stone door in front of him, the stone door is also carved with exquisite murals, and the mechanism that opens the stone door is not far from the left, it is a 'seven stone lock', the seven stone locks are not difficult to solve, Ding Laosan fiddled for a while, and the stone door slowly opened.

It was a long aisle again, with the experience of the previous car, everyone did not dare to enter rashly, Ding Laosan hurriedly took out the secret map of Qianling and studied it, but this time he did not find anything abnormal, it seems that there should be no mechanism formation here.

Ding Laosan raised his legs and was about to step into the aisle, but suddenly heard Professor Dong screaming in horror from behind, and everyone hurriedly gathered around.

"Brother Dong, what's wrong with you?" Ye Lao asked.

"You ...... Look at this. As he spoke, Professor Dong handed over the camera in his hand.

Everyone went to the camera to take a look, and suddenly their brains were buzzing and blank, and there was silence for a while.

I saw that in the photo of the camera screen, in the corner of an attic, there was a figure wearing a black hooded robe, one of this person's eyes reflected two red lights under the flickering of the camera flash, and his face turned out to be gray and black, and it was completely unclear......

"Damn, I was right just now, there was really a figure!" Ding Laosan immediately pulled out the Xuantie Sword as he spoke, looked around vigilantly, and the others did not dare to be careless, they drew their swords one after another, clenched their fists, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement around.

"Looks like this guy doesn't plan to show up just yet." Wang Qi said coldly.

"Humph! What are you afraid of, there are so many of us, if he dares to come out, I will slash him with a sword. ”

Li Su shuddered on the side and said, "Can ...... However, in the ...... In this sealed Qianling, how can it ...... How could there be anyone. ”

When Professor Dong heard this, his expression immediately became serious: "It can't be a tomb robber, right!?" Could it be that Qianling has been given ......?"

Ye Lao said thoughtfully: "It doesn't look like a tomb robber, but who is it?" Looking at this outfit, it looks like a monk from a different race in the Western Regions in ancient times. ”

"The point is, did he come in after us, or did he come in before us, or was he in this tomb all along?"

"Brother, don't scare me! If he had been living in this Qianling Tomb until now, more than 1,300 years, wouldn't he have become an old monster. Yu Fei's words startled Luo Zi.

"What's impossible, haven't you seen fewer bizarre events during this time?"

"Humph! Regardless of whether he is a human or a demon, since this guy refuses to come out, we will continue to move forward and see what tricks he can play. After Ding Laosan finished speaking, he put away the Xuantie Sword and walked towards the stone gate.

Everyone thought that Ding Laosan was right, and it was not a way to spend time with a black shadow who didn't know where to hide here, so they followed Ding Laosan and walked into the next stone gate.

Just as everyone walked into the stone gate and the hall was about to fall into darkness again, a black shadow rose from the glazed pottery city and disappeared silently into the black curtain.
