The fat man and I both thought so, but Dr. Zhang shook his head and said: "The terrain of the ancient Western Regions is the grassland terrain, you should know that in the grassland landform, stone is very precious, but you see, these ladders are obviously carved out of stone, do you think, two thousand years ago, whose cellar was able to build this scale?" After Dr. Zhang's reminder, I suddenly came to my senses, and when I looked closely, it was indeed a stone step, and there seemed to be patterns carved on those broken stone steps, but due to the age, these patterns were no longer recognizable, but based on this material, it can also be concluded that this underground entrance is definitely not an ordinary person's cellar.

My name was Dr. Zhang, and I was already with a flashlight, looking like I was about to poke inside, so I had to nod.

Then, the four of us, with two small flashlights, slowly descended to the underground entrance.

Due to the collapse of the tunnel, the structure inside has been completely destroyed, and it seems very narrow, and we are in it, as if we are in the ruins after an earthquake, and we take every step carefully.

The stone steps had broken and lost their original function, and we were going down the hill as if we were sliding all the way down, and the further down I felt that something was wrong, because the depth of this tunnel was far beyond our expectations, what was it used for?

After walking cautiously for more than twenty minutes, this tunnel came to an end.

This is a straight up and straight down tunnel, and the end point is a square space, no more than about two meters long and wide, and the four people in it can't move at all.

Strange, how can this be?

I imagined that if it wasn't a cellar, it would have been a treasure room, and there might have been a lot of space underneath for jewels or wine, but our current situation was like walking into a square well, and we were at the bottom of it.

What is this design for?

While Dr. Zhang and I were looking around with flashlights, the fat man suddenly said, "Innocent, down there." I turned to look, and saw the fat man crouching, with a flashlight, studying the stone slab under our feet.

The fat man is a professional inverted fight, and as soon as he came in and found that there was no way, he began to knock and beat, and soon found the problem. My surname Zhang and I also squatted down to look, the light of the two flashlights gathered in one place, and the stone slab under our feet suddenly appeared in dust.

It was covered with a layer of yellow sand, but it was still faintly visible, and the stone slab seemed to be carved with a deep pattern. The four of us quickly cleared the sand aside, and finally the pattern on the stone slab was completely revealed, and I found that it was actually a picture of burial.

Wouldn't I, I can drill any hole into the bucket? Obviously, the fat man thought of going with me, and then gave me a thumbs up and said, "Innocent, in the future, you will be looking for Brother Douyi, and you will have zongzi to eat." "I'm disgusted by the fat man's words, damn it, why don't you go and gnaw on zongzi?

Dr. Zhang had not been returning to China for a long time, and he had not yet learned the black language of tomb robbers, so he did not say anything, but concentrated on studying the patterns on the stone slabs.

This pattern is divided into four parts, all are carved out, the figure is carved and chiseled very complicated, there is a unique sense of gorgeousness of ethnic minorities, the patterns on the clothes of the characters are carved out, it can be seen that this stone carving must have cost a lot of manpower at that time.

The first stone carving, which depicts a man lying flat on the floor with his hands on his chest and a mask over his face, is a typical ancient carving technique for depicting dead people.

In the second, the dead man is placed on the grassland, and then a witch-like man holds a knife and takes out the heart of the dead body.

In the third, the heart is placed in a very fine jar, and next to the corpse is a lot of wolves gathered to eat.

In the fourth, many minister-like people, under the leadership of Wu, put the jar containing the heart into a place, and in that place, a lot of coffins were placed.

The pattern on the stone slab clearly shows a kind of burial ritual, which is also about a kind of celestial burial, in which the body is fed to the wolf and only the heart of the deceased is kept. In the last picture, the place where the heart of the deceased was put is obviously in a deep underground, with a lot of candles lit around it, and many coffins are placed in it, and there are jars in the coffins.

This tunnel cannot exist for no reason, and the place where this stone slab appears is very abrupt, it is easy to remind people of the tomb seal, generally large mausoleums, there are two exits, the main gate of which is the place where the mausoleum will be closed after completion, that kind of place, often blocked with stone gates, in order to distinguish, will also leave basic information on the tomb door of the stone sealing, most of them are preserved in the form of carvings.

The fat man obviously thought of this, his professional habits of inverted buckets could not be changed for a while, he took out the shovel and knocked it a few times, and noticed that it was empty underneath, so he picked up the shovel and prepared to pry open the slate, I saw that his nature was exposed, and quickly stopped, and said: "Fat man, what are you doing." The fat man hadn't gotten off the shovel yet, and after I reminded him, he suddenly eased up and said: "This hole is so deep, there may be a lot of pickles underneath, maybe there are kimchi from the ancient Western Regions, which can just supplement our rations." ”

I said, "Come on, even if there is really Western Regions kimchi, damn it, it has been pickled for two thousand years, and it has turned into mud, and you will also eat it?" "I said while going to see the surname Zhang, I found that she was more nervous in this regard, the fat man's posture just now, obviously a professional who is used to digging soil, if it is an old scholar in China, a look at the fat man dancing shovel, you can see through the identity of the fat man, but this surname Zhang is a returnee, and he is unaware of it.

At this time, Dr. Zhang actually said: "Let's go down and have a look, after speaking, straighten up and look at the fat man, the meaning is obvious, get off the shovel." The fat man was stunned for a long time, and then looked at me with the same stupid face, then spit in the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands and said: "Resolutely obey the leader's arrangement, be naïve, don't be lazy, do it together." I listened to how awkward he sounded, and after a while, I reacted and said, "Who is doing it with you." ”

The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "Where the hell do you want to go, if you want, the clouds won't agree." "I felt that something was wrong, I looked at the surname Zhang, and I always felt that she was acting a little strange, and I couldn't say what was wrong.

This slate after thousands of years, has not been very strong, I and the fat man with a shovel pinched the stone crack, not a few shovels, then the slate up a crack, I and the fat man on one side, moving the edge of the slate, hard to move out, Dr. Zhang and the German beauty also hurried to help, this slate is thicker than the general sealing stone, after moving up I measured, there are three long, more than 30 centimeters of the sample, after the slate is moved, a black hole hole is exposed below, and the surrounding sand is slid in.

I put the flashlight in and visually saw a large space underneath, about six meters high.

The fat man weighed too much, it was inconvenient to go up and down, and he couldn't let the two women go to the bottom, so the fat man wrapped a rope around the stone slab and threw it down the hole, just to the end, I bit the flashlight in my mouth, and took the lead in climbing down the rope, and then I took a general look at the flashlight, and found that the seal here was very good, there was a lot of dust on the ground, but I didn't see the sand, the space here is quite large, and there are a lot of things carved on the wall, there is no danger.

I nodded to the people above, and then Dr. Zhang and the German beauty went down to the ground along the rope one after another, the fat man was the last, and the four of us reached the ground, Dr. Zhang took a flashlight alone, and followed the German beauty to start walking around, and there were many murals carved on the stone walls around them, and the two of them looked at it for a while, and began to communicate in German again.

The fat man and I were shaking around with flashlights, and finally the fat man suddenly pulled me into a corner and said, "Innocent, look there." "I followed his gaze and found a stone door that had merged with the wall, and strangely enough, the stone door had been opened.

The sealing stone here is intact, how did the stone door open?

Did anyone else come here before us?

At this time, the fat man said: "Let the two girls go to study, let's go in and have a look." I warned, "What do you want to do?" Fatty, I warn you, don't forget that we're here to do business, not to fight. ”

The fat man pinched me hard and whispered, "Damn, you don't trust me too much, I mean, you don't think the surname Zhang behaves a little weird." I was so shocked that even the fat man found out, and immediately nodded at him in the dark. Then the fat man said: "I always feel that she has seen our identity, so ah......" Before he spoke, a flashlight suddenly hit me and the fat man's faces, surnamed Zhang looked at us and said, "What are you doing?" ”

The fat man hurriedly stopped, and said with a smile: "I found something, don't you want to report to the leader?" With that, the fat man pointed to the stone door. The stone gate was hidden behind a slippery stone pillar, and the surname Zhang paid attention to the carvings on the wall when he came, so he didn't notice it for a while.

Seeing that the stone door had opened a crack, the surnamed Zhang frowned, and began to walk in with a flashlight.

Now I can already be sure, this is an ancient tomb in the Western Regions, if the record of the sealed stone is correct, then this is still a family tomb, as long as I think of this is a bucket, I feel uncomfortable, I always feel that there will be a zongzi or other monster in the dark, especially watching the surname Zhang gradually walk into the stone door, a picture appeared in my mind, as soon as she entered, she was bitten off the head by the monster.

The terrifying memory of the Gada Oasis has not yet faded, and subconsciously, I stopped Dr. Zhang and said, "That should be the main tomb gate, I'm afraid there is some mechanism, I'll go in first." ”
