Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 64 We all thought wrong
In an instant, a thunderous thought exploded in my head, and this is also a feeling I have had since I entered this place, I always feel that the time here is misplaced! What shouldn't be there is a place where it shouldn't be.
It's like that tomb, which is obviously built in the style of the Tang Dynasty, but there are murals in the style of rock paintings. Wait a minute, an idea popped into me!
At this time, I heard the shouts of the Lantern Festival: "Come and see!" ”
I hurriedly ran over, only to see that on the last two murals painted there, the penultimate one was still the towering mountain, only this time there was no golden light falling from the sky, but a dark curtain covering the sun. Many people fell to their knees in an orderly manner, as if they were carrying out some important activity. And at the very top of the mountain is a huge coffin, from the picture this coffin is amazingly large, covering almost the entire mountain.
In the last painting, a man sinks into the sea holding a stone box, and a large fish jumps out of the water. My eyes were attracted by the person in the mural mountain, only to see that the person was wearing a robe, it seemed that it should be the person who raised the altar in the mural in front of me, the difference is that this time I saw the face of this robe man clearly, this person's appearance made us all look drastic, we clearly saw a person's face, with a bird's beak, and what made me unbelievable was that this person actually had wings on his back.
I could understand the last two paintings, but I couldn't understand the meaning, who was in that huge coffin? Is that human-faced, bird-beaked, two-winged thing a human or some mysterious species? What was that crate in his arms? I was terrified when I saw the whole mural, and my back was chilled.
Lantern Xiao pointed and asked, "Who is this painting, with wings on his back, Lei Zhenzi!" It's still a myth! ”
Wen Mo shook his head, "These murals are very realistic, I'm afraid the ones on the picture are real!" ”
"How is that possible!" Lantern Xiao's eyes widened, "How can there be such a person!" ”
I walked quickly to the mural and took out a short knife and scraped the mural on the cliff wall, then walked to another mural and scraped it with my knife as well. Seeing me walking around in a hurry, they were a little confused about the Lantern Festival, so they asked, "Zhuo Ran, what are you doing?" Are you planning to take this petroglyph down and take it away? ”
I didn't care about being poor with Lantern Festival, and said with some excitement: "We are all wrong!" ”
"Wrong?" Lantern Xiao scratched his head, "We were wrong from the beginning, from the first tomb, to the first stone gate, to the tomb at the back, all of them were built in the Tang Dynasty in terms of construction methods and styles, so we had a preconceived idea that this was a Tang Dynasty mausoleum." ”
"That's right!" Lantern Xiao nodded, "Digging mountains and building tombs was originally the construction method of the Tang Dynasty tomb!" How is it wrong? ”
"But have you ever wondered why there is a mural similar to a rock painting in the first burial chamber, which is not the technique of Tang Dynasty murals at all. Later, there was an abrupt stop in the tomb passage, and the bronze coffin maze completely placed in a natural cave, and when I saw the petroglyphs here, I realized that this was not a Tang Dynasty mausoleum at all. Those tombs and burial chambers of the Tang Dynasty were built later. ”
"Wait!" Lantern Xiao was a little stunned when she heard this, "You mean, someone in the Tang Dynasty wanted to build a mausoleum here and accidentally discovered this place?" So the work was suddenly stopped? ”
"That's about it!"
Kong Xue asked, "What period of tomb was this place originally from?" ”
Hearing Kong Xue ask this, I was a little excited, and walked quickly to the petroglyphs and said, "I was exposed to similar knowledge when I was in school, and I guess that the age of these petroglyphs is at least before the Xia and Shang periods. ”
Hearing my words, Wen Mo's expression changed, and his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
"Before Xia Shang." Lantern Xiao pondered for a moment, "What dynasty could it be?" Was there such a person in that dynasty? As he spoke, Lantern Xiao pointed to the man with a bird's beak and wings on his back on the mural.
I smiled, "In Chinese history, before the Xia Dynasty, China's thousands of years of civilization were broken and unrecorded, and no one knew what happened in those thousands of years, even if there was such a winged human race, thousands of years were enough time for this genocide several times, so we didn't dare to speculate on the situation of that era, it was a mythical era." ”
Lantern Xiao listened to my words and was also a little excited, "In other words, we may have discovered the ruins of the ancient tomb before the Xia Shang?" ”
"That's right! This will be a milestone in the history of China and even the world! ”
"Holy! If you find a few artifacts, it won't be priceless! ”
Listening to Lantern Xiao's words, I was stunned and sighed helplessly, I really can't communicate with this kind of master who only knows how to exchange the spirit weapon for money in his head.
"After the Tang Dynasty people discovered that there was already an ancient tomb here, it seems that they carried out large-scale development, what are they doing this?" Kong Xue asked.
"It's not simple, for the sake of the artifact." Lantern Xiao said, "When the living enter the place of the dead, isn't it just to turn over the belly, but to worship!" ”
But just for tomb robbing, this tomb robber in the Tang Dynasty is a bit big, and the key is that it is completely unnecessary! There must be a bigger purpose, what secrets are hidden in this ancient tomb?
It suddenly occurred to me that not only the people of the Tang Dynasty, but even the engineering activities of the year, and even Uncle Kong today, may be related to this ancient tomb. I couldn't help but have a headache, things were more complicated than I thought.
"That's it! Have you seen enough? Lantern Xiao raised his hand to greet us, "Let's go quickly, find a clean place to dry our clothes first, it's too uncomfortable!" Frozen to death! ”
I was completely immersed in the painting just now, and I forgot about the wet clothes on my body for a while, and after he reminded me, I felt cold all over, and my nose was sore and sneezed.
"Let's go, let's go, if you get sick in this place, then you will stop eating completely!"
As we walked along the river, we noticed that the speed of the river was increasing and the sound of the water was getting louder and louder.
I wondered why there was such a change, whether the river was going to rise again, but after observing it for a while, I didn't find any sign of it. It wasn't until we turned a corner that the sound of the water suddenly increased a lot, and we saw that the river in front of us had turned sharply, almost forming a fault waterfall, and there was no road.
If that's the case, we'd better decide for ourselves.
But fortunately, just like Lu Youshi said, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. We took a few more steps along the river, and at the edge of the fault in the river, there was a step that ran along the stone wall.
This was the only way out for us, and we had no choice, so we climbed the stairs. The steps were not high, but they were narrow, and we were terrified as we walked close to the stone wall. At the end of the stone steps, a boardwalk is connected.
The plank road is built on the mountain and goes around the mountain. Although the slope is not large, we still feel that the plank road is twisting and turning, and it is sloping down the mountain.
Since the boardwalk was not wide and there was a cliff on one side, we decided to be patient a little longer and find an open place to rest in front of us.
This Lantern Festival took the lead, walking in the front, in order to save power, we only left two flashlights. Fortunately, the plank road is not big, but it is enough.
After walking for a while, no one spoke, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of our breathing.
I turned my head to look at the endless darkness outside the boardwalk, and I could imagine that there should be a huge space outside, I don't know where it was high, and it must be extremely deep below, because at this time we couldn't even hear the sound of the water in the fault waterfall just now.
I tried my best to look into the darkness, hoping that I could see through it. Gradually, I actually saw the light in the darkness, little by little, like the stars in the sky, dotted with stars. Is this my hallucination, I looked at the stars, have we come out? I rubbed my eyes and looked over again, this time I was convinced, it wasn't a hallucination, I really saw it, but it wasn't a star, it should be some kind of glowing object on the opposite stone wall, was it a firefly? But how can there be fireflies at this temperature? I don't know what it is, it's just really good-looking, and it's getting more and more overwhelming and ethereal.
In such an environment, I felt a sense of powerlessness, feeling that I was really small, and there were too many things that we could not understand, or could not guess, for the world!
When I think about this, I can't help but think a lot.
This plank road was obviously not built during the Sanmiao period, because it is obvious that more advanced metal tools were used, and it should be the handiwork of the people who came in the Tang Dynasty.
But who is it? To have such an ability, is it an act of the imperial court? But it feels a little worse. But if it weren't for the state's behavior, who would the people who have the ability to do such a thing?
This person must be a master of feng shui and easy arts, who dares to hit the idea of ancient ruins, and who is still working on them, must not be an idle person. A few names popped up in my head, but I didn't think they were all satisfactory.
Although I have a preliminary understanding of the whole incident, many mysteries are still difficult to understand. From what we know so far, we only have a rough idea of what this place is, and as for what this place is, we still have no clue, but I am sure that it must be a big secret.
Actually, for me, the most confusing thing for me is what I have to do with this matter!
At first, I thought I was just an outsider and inadvertently got involved in the incident of helping Kong Xue find her father. But it wasn't until later that I realized that I had some strange connection to it from the time I received that strange email.
