Chapter 196: The Cave

Lao Wu followed Professor Guan back and forth in front of the mural a few times, listening to some of Professor Guan's explanations, although most of them didn't understand, especially what immortality, living forever is not a god? I can't believe this thing now.

Lao Wu has also followed Hu Wan to rob tombs for a few years, Hu Wan knows a lot of things, from time to time he will have some of them, and even more scary rumors, at this time he can understand the meaning of the mural a little.

The figures and animals on this mural should be deliberately painted in a distorted and abstract way, in order to show that it is a dream, and it should be a dream of the person who kneers in the middle. He may have dreamed that a huge human face appeared in the clouds in the sky, looking down on all beings like a god, which was naturally understood as the will of the gods at that time, so he built this place like an underground palace as a place of prayer and worship in the future.

Lao Wu felt that the soil under his feet was hot, so he pulled the collar of his coat to ventilate, and asked Professor Guan by the way: "Professor Guan, did you say that the place we are staying in now was built on the ground before?" So could this hole in this mural be a dead end? The end was sealed by dirt and died? ”

Professor Guan shook his head with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to look very rough, but your insight is still good." But this ancient sacrificial building was indeed built directly underground, but the roof above may have been exposed before, it should be like the Egyptian pyramid, it looks like a triangular earthen bag from a distance, maybe there were other buildings around at that time, but now it is just a piece of yellow sand. ”

"What? What's broken? Professor Guan just said an English word, how could Lao Wu understand, so he asked him with a glare.

Professor Guan reacted and said, "Ah! Oh, I forgot that I am now in the country, that pyramid is the cone-shaped building of Egypt is also called the pyramid, that is the ancient tomb of the pharaoh, there are still many secrets in it that have not been solved, I used to think that if I can know in my lifetime, I will die without regrets, but now, look around us, these huge stone pillars, they almost support the largest pyramid, this is a world-class major archaeological discovery! All of us here will be named Discoverers in the future, and these pillars may be named after us, can you imagine what an honor it is? ”

Lao Wu looked at Professor Guan's eyes with light, he looked around a little strangely, and thought: "What the hell is foolish, what kind of nonsense is it talking about, what's the use of letting this pillar call my name?" It's better to give some cash directly! But seeing Professor Guan so excited, he couldn't talk nonsense, so he could only follow him everywhere.

When the time was almost up, after the third brother was also greeted by Lao Wu, the five of them divided the work, except for Professor Guan, each carrying some things, what ropes, dry food, kettles, shovels, candles and the like, as well as many small items were packed in a small bag for Xiao Qi to hold.

Seeing that the big cow seemed to be about to act, he bared his teeth and said with a smile: "We, we're going to dig up treasures?" ”

Old Wu Bendu turned around to check the entrance of the cave, and suddenly heard the big cow coming behind him, and suddenly remembered that there was another Professor Guan! I quickly turned my head to see Professor Guan's reaction.

But Professor Guan didn't scold them for being tomb robbers with the anger he thought, but instead supported himself with his hands, and kept repeating what Da Niu had just said.

"Digging treasures? Baby, yes! I know! ”

Lao Wu swallowed his saliva and asked Professor Guan carefully, "What did you think of?" Did you think there was anything else you hadn't explained? I'm listening! ”

Professor Guan turned his head to look at Lao Wu violently, and he was startled, and Lao Wu hurriedly wanted to explain that he had long since stopped robbing tombs, but as soon as he was about to move his mouth, he heard Professor Guan say: "Yes! This place is not only a place of worship in ancient times, but also a burial pit on it! It should be the king who built this underground palace for sacrifice, and the tomb may have been built near this after his death, and this cave was dug in his own position in the scene in his dream, oops! This is another big discovery, and you may be able to solve the mystery of this mysterious underground structure! ”

Lao Wu turned his face and exhaled, thinking that this professional archaeologist probably looks like this, and entering this kind of ancient ruins is like going crazy, but don't let him cause any trouble, don't let Professor Guan take it out when the time comes, they will have to be buried together. Thinking so in his heart, he didn't stop in his hands, untied a bundle of rope wrapped around the big bull's body, and then tied it to his waist, he hit his head into the hole, and the people behind him dragged the rope to follow, in case the hole inside was intricately intertwined, it would be miserable if he got lost.

After the division of labor was clear, Xiao Qi lit a candle and handed it to Lao Wu, and told him to be careful, Lao Wu said with a dry smile: "This, this is all a small scene, I have seen a lot before, and I am fine!" After speaking, he bent down and was about to burrow into the hole.

But because the shape of the cave entrance is particularly strange, Lao Wu couldn't get in after spending a long time, he always felt that his posture was wrong, and his body was blocked by the protruding place of the cave entrance.

Professor Guan looked at it for a long time before he said to Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, you squatting yourself will definitely not be able to enter, and you will definitely not be able to pass through it if your legs are too narrow and your body will stand up, you have to pose in the same shape as this hole to get in." ”

Lao Wu's busy face was sweating, panting and grinning, "What posture?" I crawled in? ”

Professor Guan walked over and dragged Lao Wu back a few steps, only to see that the entrance of the cave was a human-shaped kneeling posture, and the bottom was also raised with a point, and if he wanted to climb in, his belly was opened. Lao Wu then understood, and then took out the shovel, and said to Professor Guan with a smile: "I understand, we still have to kneel in, but I don't want to kneel down for the tomb owner, the old man would rather climb in than kneel!" He said this very manly, and he was applauded by Hu Dafang, shouting: "Lao Wu, what you said is right!" ”

But Professor Guan didn't speak again, but let go of his body and let Lao Wu go over to dig the hole, with a strange smile on his face, as if with a strange confidence.

Lao Wu was a rough man, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Professor Guan's smile. Rolling up his sleeves, he said to the others, "Raise your eyes!" Look at my shovel Wu skills! After saying that, he ran to the entrance of the cave.

With a few strokes of the hole with a shovel, it can be widened a little, and it should not be difficult to dig into a circle. Then he used a shovel to cut the corners of the hole, but he didn't expect the first shovel to go down, there was a crisp sound, and he moved the shovel to see, and the part he was going to cut off just now only left a white mark, which made Lao Wu dumbfounded.

It stands to reason that even if it is this kind of stone wall, a groove should be made with the sharp edge of Lao Wu's shovel, but the mural in front of me seems to be painted on some kind of wall made of sand, and you can touch the granular sand and gravel by reaching into the hole, but how can it be so strong?

Immediately thinking of Professor Guan's expression just now, Lao Wu cried and said, "What's going on? Why is this earthen wall so strong? Professor Kwan, do you know something? ”

Professor Guan walked over with a smile, took the candle in Lao Wu's hand, and stretched it directly into the hole. Lao Wu and the others also bent down to look, and they were all surprised when they saw it. It turned out that the entire cave wall was excavated according to the kneeling posture of a human figure, and after being illuminated by candlelight, some pale cyan light was slightly reflected in the deep cave wall, like some kind of stone material.
