Chapter 121: Suzaku Array
Wang Lele carefully untied the white jade ring hanging around Zhang Tianhao's neck, and just when she wanted to hang this ring around her neck, the ring was snatched by the company commander.
The familiar scene happened again, the Baixi Meiping that Wang Lele was holding before was robbed by the Jin battalion commander, and at this time, the company commander plundered the items she was holding again, but this time Wang Lele no longer compromised.
After Lin Xueping's translation, Wang Lele and the company commander began a war of words, and after some theory, because the tomb had not yet been discovered and the main coffin had not been found, the company commander compromised. This was originally an item belonging to the members of the Chinese scientific expedition team, and Wang Lele also took out the ring on his chest, and the comparison between the two turned out to be exactly the same. In the face of the facts, the company commander had to let go of his unreasonable attitude, after all, he had to rely on the scientific expedition team to help find the main coffin.
After putting away the ring, Wang Lele returned a sincere smile to Chen Ziyang.
The house was neither small nor small, but it was not too big, and it took a while for everyone to search for everything, but they could not find where the entrance to the tomb was. When searching, Chen Ziyang found that the arrangement of these houses seemed to be random, but there seemed to be some rules in them, but he didn't know the true face of Lushan, only because he was in this mountain. Because of the limited relationship between the angle and the field of vision, he couldn't see the law at all, so Chen Ziyang decided to take a look at it from a high place.
A dozen meters behind this house is the stone wall carved with a huge dragon head. After agreeing with Yang Lei on the signal to fire the flare, Chen Ziyang climbed to the stone wall with his hands and feet. Just when he was halfway up, his hand touched something, this touch was very strange, the thing he touched was not like a stone, because it was not as cold as a stone, but this thing was very hard, and with Chen Ziyang's grasp, this thing actually fell.
Chen Ziyang hurriedly swept left and right with his headlamp, and found nothing unusual, maybe he had touched a piece of gravel, he comforted himself like this, but the feeling was really very different from the touch of the cold rock wall under his hands. When climbing over the dragon's head, Chen Ziyang took a closer look at the sculpture of the dragon's head, only to see that a gap of more than two fingers wide had opened on the stone wall of the dragon's head sculpture.
This gap is not very long, but it divides the seven or eight meters wide dragon head horizontally from the mouth in two. The gap is very smooth, and it looks like a human being did it on purpose, and it looks like this faucet can really open its mouth. Because the entire tomb is buried deep in the rock formations underground, most of the decorations here are stone carvings, and the previous carvings are much more lifelike than this dragon head, so Chen Ziyang did not care about the significance of the existence of this crack.
Continue to climb up, and after a while, Chen Ziyang climbed to the top of the dragon's head, the height here should be enough, so he nodded in the direction of the village, and the headlamp on his head shook with the movement of his head, Yang Lei saw that this was a signal from Chen Ziyang, so he let the Dongchao soldiers next to him fire a flare into the sky.
With the flare rising into the air, the style of the entire house was under Chen Ziyang's eyes, and under this look, he really saw some clues, several of these houses with red roofs seemed to be lined up in a vermilion bird array. Just when Chen Ziyang was still unsure, he suddenly felt as if something had crawled over the rock wall beside him.
Chen Ziyang's attention was attracted by something crawling over next to him, he hurriedly shone it with his headlamp, but he didn't find anything, if there was something on such a smooth stone wall, it was really unobstructed, maybe it was his own illusion, just when he wanted to continue to study whether the arrangement of this house was the Vermilion Bird Array, the first flare had already been extinguished.
Hurriedly signaled, Chen Ziyang asked Yang Lei to fire a second flare, this time his attention was completely focused on the arrangement of the houses below, so at a glance, Chen Ziyang confirmed his conjecture, a total of seven houses with red roofs, and they were indeed arranged according to the position of the seven stars of the Vermilion Bird in the twenty-eight constellations.
Among the 28 constellations, it is divided into four categories: the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu, and the Vermilion Bird, each of which is divided into seven stars, with a total of 28 constellations. Among them, the seven constellations of Suzaku are: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen. At this time, in Chen Ziyang's eyes, the penultimate of these seven houses, that is, the location of the Vermilion Bird Wing Star Position, the house seems to be a little forward, not in the position where it should be.
Seeing where the eye was, Chen Ziyang hurriedly climbed down from the rock wall, and led everyone to find the house, just on the back of this house, everyone searched carefully, and finally found that there was a huge stone slab here, which turned out to be active, gathered the strength of more than 20 people, and after priing this stone slab open, a fishy smell pounced out of the black hole under the stone slab.
Since entering this tomb, everyone has been smelling a very strange smell in the air, this smell is mixed with the smell of blood, very pungent, but after staying in this tomb for a few days, everyone has almost become accustomed to this smell, but as the stone slab is pried open, this smell is more than 10 times stronger, and several people facing the entrance are almost fainted.
Because the smell was so strong, everyone put on oxygen masks, connected oxygen cylinders, and left two soldiers who had been slightly injured before to guard the entrance to the cave, and the group went into the passage one by one.
Inside the passage are dozens of steps downward, and the strength of the steps is a stone room. The structure of the stone chamber is very simple, it is a huge square stone chamber, the area of the stone chamber is not very large, it is roughly a square with a side length of nearly 100 meters, and there are several round pillars in the stone chamber holding the top.
In the four corners of this stone room, there are several large square pits with a side length of about ten meters, which are full of gold, silver, jewelry and other utensils. But what attracted Chen Ziyang the most was the floor of this stone chamber, where the hard rock floor seemed to be rich in many mineral elements, and the light of the headlamp shone with wisps of gold, purple and blue reflections.
Just in the direction of the entrance where everyone entered, there was a stone wall carved with something, and in front of this stone wall there was a huge coffin, as soon as he saw the style of this coffin, Chen Ziyang knew that they had found the right place, this was actually a conjoined coffin.
