The Sacred Spring Chapter 22: Touching the Golden Tomb (4)

As soon as the bald scoop landed, I hurriedly examined the wound of his young master, I leaned over and took a flashlight to take a photo, only to see a thin and long spike inserted in Wang Qingzheng's right palm. The fat man said, "It's strange, someone has gnawed chicken bones in this hole?" -

Four eyes held Wang Shao's hand and picked the thin thorn with his fingertips: "It's not a chicken bone, it's a human bone-

The bald scoop pressed the wound with his thumb, and then gently pumped out the bones, and he took them to the light and shone them for a long time: "How can such thin bones be human." Lawyer Qin, don't scare us-

Four eyes rolled at him, and said, "Is it a human bone, look at the ground for yourselves-

I had been in longer than any of them, and I was only concerned with looking at the murals on the stone walls, never paying attention to my feet. After being reminded by the four eyes, we cast our eyes on the ground. I always thought I was stepping on uneven gravel. Only then did I find that the ground was covered with white bones, broken like gravel.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still some undestroyed corpses in the corner, no one would dare to look at them, and the pit of the hundred ghosts was not laid with white quartz stones, but thick human bones. I stepped forward to examine one of the bones that had not yet been broken, this corpse had long hands and legs, the skull was twice the size of the average person, and the most unusual thing was the bulge in the middle of the skull, although it had been ground by a blunt object and was almost invisible, but if you looked closely, you could still see that there was something like bone growth growing in the center of the frontal bone - buried here, and it was also the Cremo witch doctor with horns on the head? ——

I don't see it, - I lifted a leg bone and drew it on the side of my calf, - you see, most of it has grown in half, at least two or three meters-

Wang Qingzheng smiled: "Why, don't you allow people to be taller than your Hu Ye?" -

Four Eyes said: "The bones of the human body grow in proportion, take the shopkeeper as an example, he is one meter tall and in his early eights." When these bones stand upright, they are at least three meters tall - he said as he picked up another bone, - this is not an isolated phenomenon, the bones in the pit are picked up at random, and they are all in this proportion. In other words, the average height of the people buried here was about three meters before their deaths. This is completely different from the Cremo people we have seen, and even if the racial mutation caused by the natural environment is absolutely impossible to occur in a short period of time. So what is buried here must be different from the mass grave above, and it won't be the corpse of the Cremo witch doctor-

I've never heard of a human race that can reach an average height of more than three meters - the bald scoop drew it with his hand, "It's incredible." Who are the people buried in the white ghost pit, and are they still human? -

I think of the parchment scroll of the old witch doctor, the tomb robbers of the late Qing Dynasty who had come to the American continent after the ships of the Eastern Indian Ocean Company, and who were initially looking for gold veins buried deep in the jungle. Finally, because of local legends and unique landforms, it was concluded that there was a large tomb under Marik's lair. Therefore, in the wilderness of a foreign land, he did the work of digging sand and digging soil, and never thought that disaster would fall from the sky, and dug out a demon cave full of ghosts and ghosts. They were trapped in the depths of the jungle and couldn't find a way out, and in the end, they had ghost horns on their heads and holes on their bodies, becoming the buried monsters in the demon caves. The Nanyang businessman thought that this was a curse on the tomb robbers, so he built a golden rooster hatching phoenix on the top of the demon cave, which wanted to break the feng shui here and cut off the evil qi in the hundred ghost pits. After his death, he was buried in a feng shui tomb by the remaining survivors, and was used as a deterrent. Later, because of his strange appearance and inability to integrate into civilized society, the tomb robber with ghost horns on his head simply stayed in the jungle and intermarried with the local natives, because of his special appearance and relatively advanced scientific knowledge, he was regarded as a sage by the natives and became a witch doctor in the tribe. The function of the witch doctor has been passed down from generation to generation among the descendants of tomb robbers, and it is unknown how many generations it has inherited. The events of the past are gradually forgotten, but the descendants of the tomb robbers will never forget it, and they have a terrible curse imprinted on them, so they go to the tombs built by their ancestors before they die. Because only there is their true destination.

As for the Hundred Ghost Pit under the tomb, the old witch doctor did not explain in detail in the parchment scroll what was sacred inside, I think, first, because of the age, the old witch doctor may not know what the predecessors saw; Second, even if you know something, you may not be able to record it, probably because you are afraid that your children and grandchildren will trespass into the pit of the hundred ghosts without permission and bring greater disasters.

It's just that these giants in front of us who have been stripped of their ghost horns are who they are. Why are they buried here, and what kind of miracle can curse others after death, so that a group of tomb robbers become strange people who are not like people and ghosts, and they will never have a home to return to. I pinned my hope for answers on the stone murals on the grottoes, and said to Wang Qingzheng: "Wang Shao, since you are a college student who graduated from a famous school, do you have any unique insights into the stone paintings carved on the walls?" -

Wang Qingzheng followed us all the way, and was teased and bullied. As soon as I asked him for a question, his eyes smiled so much that there was only a slit left: "It's easy to say, what kind of person is I, Wang Qingzheng, a top student at Harvard!" Liu Meng, on the lamp, let me study these murals carefully-

I complimented him like this in order to distract everyone's attention, many people because of the underground closed, the environment is dark, there will be visual illusions, plus the remains of the unicorn giant buried in the hundred ghost pits, itself is very deterrent, let Wang Chun is interpreting the murals on the wall, and it is naturally better to tell everyone about history than a group of people making up some strange and chaotic jokes. I have seen a lot of stone stele murals in various ancient tombs, but most of them are scattered perspective paintings in Chinese style, there are generally two kinds of tomb paintings, one is to record the life of the deceased, the second is to describe the world after death, and there is also a third kind, which is a simple ritual mural, engraved in the tomb is to play a certain deterrent effect, as for whether it is to prevent the tomb owner from being harassed by spirits after death, or to intimidate the gold touchers who come to rob the tomb, it is all up to the speculation of later generations.

Wang Qingzheng took out a small notebook and explained while recording: "The mural on this wall roughly tells the story of the descendants of the sun god Inti, who defeated the evil god and defended their homeland. These murals do not have a fixed chronological order, and need to be sorted and sorted in the later stage. Let me see what the other murals are about-

The masked chieftain was so frightened by the frescoes left by his ancestors that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, palms facing upwards, facing the ceiling, and performed the great prostrations of the Incas.

The fat man secretly pushed me with his elbow, I stepped aside with him, and he asked me in a low voice: "What he said is not accurate, I don't think there is anything to study on this wall, choose a few loose pieces, let's put them in our backpacks, and take them out for dollars." Why stay here and listen to his, it matters to find the temple and shirley-

I said, "It's been so long since we've been in, and you can see that the two old bee candles you lit are burning brightly." Archaeology and tomb robbery are different, they pay more attention to the restoration and interpretation of history, we debuted here, we are not familiar with the culture and history of the Incas, it is rare to have such an ancient tomb, which hides clues. It doesn't hurt to look at it a little longer, and maybe you can find clues about the location of the Inca temple-
