Chapter 54: Leaving the Firewood

I only looked at the large and small holes on this door for a while, and then I remembered that it was the arrangement of Vena books.

Luo Shu was called the turtle book in ancient times, according to legend, during the Yu water control period, there was a turtle out of the water, and the turtle was engraved with Luo Shu on its back. Its book covers the five elements of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and Dayu had an epiphany, so he came up with a way to control the water. It is said that the book on the back of this turtle is the time when Fu Xi studied the innate gossip, covering the subtlety of the changes of heaven and earth, and the mystery of the unity of all things.

And on this door, it is Luo Shu.

In fact, the holes on the door, I think it is probably to convey fire, but what is the reason for deliberately arranging these holes into the appearance of Luoshu, it is unknown, maybe it is just Xu Fu's hobby? was pondering, but heard Wu Sidong suddenly speak: "It's really strange, this tripod is still hot, as if the fire inside has just been extinguished." ”

I said in my heart that this place has been closed for I don't know how many years, the original pores have long been blocked, the so-called thousand-year-old fire has passed two thousand years, and it has long been extinguished, how can the furnace still be warm? Professor Lin touched it with his hand, and suddenly his expression changed, and he said, "It's not good, everyone get out of the way!" "Don't look at Professor Lin's age, he walks outside all the year round, but his skills are excellent. He and Wu Sidong were on the side of the furnace, and they didn't know what had happened, but after Professor Lin finished speaking, he threw Wu Sidong to the ground.

But at this moment, a dazzling burst of fire suddenly rose in the entire swarthy fire-room. The fire came too fast, everyone was already in the dark, there was only the ghostly light of the flashlight around, and suddenly it was illuminated by such a strong firelight, I suddenly felt that my eyes were hot, and a flower in front of my eyes, and the sight was orange and red, and I had to quickly cover my eyes and squat.

At the same time, there was a sudden wave of heat that swept over me, and I felt as if I was by the fire, and my hairs were about to be curled. I covered my eyes for about ten seconds before I could barely adjust to the light, and then I realized that the dazzling light was the flame rising from the furnace in the middle.

The tongue of fire was more than ten meters high, and the air around it was beating, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Normal people know that it is impossible for ordinary fuel oil to raise such a high flame, and the strangest thing is that the flame has been extinguished early in the morning, so how can it burn by itself?

At this moment, Professor Lin had already taken Wu Sidong to hide next to me, and everyone stood next to the wall of the fire room, barely far away from the furnace. In an instant, everyone's faces were roasted red, and a layer of oil sweat appeared, I asked Professor Lin what was going on, how could the fire ignite on its own, but I heard Professor Lin say, "Have you ever heard of leaving the firewood?" ”

Gu Wenmin reacted quickly and said, "Ah, is it the legendary divine tree that grows in overseas immortal mountains, spontaneously combusts when it encounters gas, and does not go out for thousands of years?" Professor Lin's eyes showed appreciation, and he said, "That's it." I can't imagine that there really is such a tree. At first, I thought it was a black iron tripod, and it was burned with shark oil, but then I thought it was strange, if this was really made of iron, why had it not been dissolved by fire for thousands of years? If it weren't for Sidong's discovery that the furnace itself was hot, which reminded me of the firewood, I'm afraid the two of us would have been scorched in an instant. ”

I had never heard of such a thing, so Gu Wenmin told us about it. In ancient China, there were many records of strange foreign objects, such as "Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen", "Qi Harmony" and so on. There is nothing special about this kind of tree when it is young, but after growing for thousands of years, it will spontaneously combust when it encounters gas, and the burning speed is very slow.

Just now, the furnace was clearly cold, who knew that when everyone was looking for the fire path and taking pictures and rubbing, they actually started to heat up, Professor Lin combined with the previous doubts, and immediately thought of leaving the firewood, and immediately pushed Wu Sidong away. This can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune, thinking that the flame of the fire wood, when it spews out in an instant, the tongue of fire overflows, if there is no push, I am afraid that the two of them will be disfigured even if they do not die.

The pores in this place may have been blocked in the natural environment, so the fire of the furnace has long been extinguished, but as we pry open the stones, the air re-enters, and accumulates a certain amount of air, and the furnace made of firewood burns on its own. At this moment, in the open space in the center of our eyes, there was a huge fireball, and everyone was about fourteen or fifteen meters away, and even so, they still felt that they were being scorched hot.

Tofu suddenly said, "Is this kind of tree very rare?" ”

Professor Lin took off his glasses and said: "Of course it is rare, this is a tree species recorded in the ancient books, and our ancient ancestors are the ones who really know the mysteries of this world, so the real meaning of archaeology is not only to know history, but also to pursue the truth of our world." Professor Lin's words won the support of Duan Fei and Wu Sidong, and the two of them looked excited, obviously surging in their hearts.

Tofu said at this time: "Such a rare thing, the value must be very high, or let's get a piece to sell, even if it can't be sold, you can also give it to the Northeast villagers, how cold it is over there, there is endless firewood to heat and cook, I must be very grateful to us." ”

“……”

“…………”

If no one picks up the tofu, everyone was speechless for a while, then they came back to their senses and decided to do the right thing, and if they continued like this, they would have to be scorched. We have sufficient tools, and immediately took out the special 'iron fader' to deal with the tap stone stuck in the crack of the stone door, pushed the stone bar behind it open, and then heard a bang, the stone bar fell to the ground, and the two stone doors suddenly opened under a push, revealing a straight passage behind.

The firelight penetrated and illuminated the passage red, and at the end of the firelight, it was pitch black. Since after coming down, the structure of the entire fire-chamber is not much different from what I said before, so now everyone is convinced of me, and even Wu Sidong doesn't like to make trouble for me as much as before, so he immediately unanimously gave way and let me go ahead.

I led the team in front, flashlight, gradually moved away from the lighting range of the fire, the scorching wave of air gradually disappeared, the hot sweat on my body was cold on the skin, and I didn't feel very comfortable.

There is nothing superfluous in this passage, except for the light trough between the two walls, there is nothing else, there are more bends in the passage, about to bypass something, I walked for about 20 minutes, and there were three forks in front of me. I must be sure in my heart, it seems that the overall structure is similar to what I speculated, these three passages lead to the interior of the three mountain peaks, and one of them leads directly to Xu Fu's underground palace.

However, we twisted and wound several times at the entrance of the passage, so we were not sure which of the three entrances in front of us led to the dungeon. At this time, it was the turn of the four people to come forward, and they took out miniature detectors from the equipment, these instruments can detect the metal content nearby, and the burial goods in the underground palace must be full of copper, iron, gold and silver, and they only need to use the instrument to find the right path, which is the usual method of modern tomb robbers.

The four of them were well-trained, and spontaneously began to detect the three fire paths, but after the detection was completed, the four of them looked at each other and were stunned, and finally the four of them said: "There are a lot of metal reactions, what's going on?" ”

Tofu laughed, and unceremoniously mocked: "They all say that your instruments are not useful, and you don't have to carry it so hard if you know it, Lao Chen, show them with both hands." I looked at him and said lukewarmly, "I can't tell." ”

Duan Fei said: "It should be in the middle, isn't the main peak located in the middle?" "If it were according to normal circumstances, we would have no way of judging it, and we would definitely choose the center, because as long as there are no accidents, the people who built the fire tunnel will not take a detour. But what makes me feel strange is that just now the four people used metal detectors, why did they come up with a large number of metal objects on three sides? Could it be that Xu Fu's underground palace is so large that it runs through three peaks?

When I told everyone about my speculation, Professor Lin frowned and said, "According to the manpower at that time, it should be impossible. "After more than 2,000 years, it is difficult for us to predict what the situation was at that time, and the instrument did not work, so we could only choose the most normal way, and chose the middle fire path to advance.

The further you go, the higher the terrain will be, and the tomb of Qin is buried, and it seems that Xu Fu's tomb is also on the mountain. The path of fire was very long, and after about half an hour, a stone door appeared before our eyes.

This is a sealed stone door, the gap in the middle is still wrapped in oil wax, on both sides of the stone door stands a guard warrior, one holds a halberd, one holds a bronze sword, because this place once did not belong to the state of complete sealing, so the weapon is not well preserved, there are copper flowers on it, and some places have rotten.

As soon as I saw these two terracotta warriors, I felt suffocated, because the shape of these two terracotta warriors is very similar to the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang, from the dress to the hairstyle and shape, all of them highlight the style of the Qin Dynasty. What does it mean that a small island in Japan is home to a tomb from the Qin Dynasty?

My heart was pounding, and Professor Lin's hands trembled with excitement, and there was only one lens left for the glasses, which he kept pressing up, as if he wanted to see more clearly.

Tofu pursed his lips, not interested, turned around for a while, and said, "Open this stone door first, our time is precious, don't play any greeting games with these two figurines." As soon as he said this, I also suppressed the excitement in my heart, and said secretly: I am not an archaeologist, I really shouldn't be so gaffe, now is not the time to be excited, it is important to find the main tomb quickly. The ** seal to be found this time, according to legend, is the treasure of Qin Shi Huang's sweeping**, such an important thing, it must be buried with the coffin, put it in the coffin, or take the treasure first, otherwise it will delay the treatment, become a human snake or something, it will be too cost-effective.
