The downward passage is not very wide, and ten people can only go down in a single row.

Xu Tianchuan walked in the middle, stepping on the stairs, and every time he took the next step, his feet were very cautious.

After all, this is a Western Chu ancient tomb hidden in the silk book, just from the wolf temple above as a reference, the scale of this tomb must not be small.

No matter what dynasty, the ancients attached great importance to their tombs, after all, it was a place of eternal rest, and the most taboo was to be disturbed and stolen and excavated, so the awareness of prevention was also very high, especially the large-scale emperor-level mausoleums.

This can refer to the sea of mercury in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Not only Xu Tianchuan, but everyone was also extremely cautious, and the air was so quiet that in addition to the sound of footsteps, they could even hear their half-screen snorts.

To make matters worse, all the flashlights were out of power, and kerosene lamps could only be relied on as the main lighting tool.

The light of the kerosene lamp is dim, and the irradiation distance is only three or five meters at most, at this time it is still brighter in the narrow corridor, but when it goes down to the tomb, the effect must be very poor, which is also what Xu Tianchuan is most worried about.

Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, it can be clearly seen that the main body of this tomb is built with bluestones, each of which is very large and extremely precise, with almost no gaps and no clay.

The walls of the bluestone are carved with lifelike murals, all of which are plain carvings, without the use of any paint, but the carving is quite exquisite, like a work of genius, every scene, character and animal is lifelike, but also with a clear Later Qin style.

After walking down to a depth of about seventeen or eighteen meters, everyone finally entered a burial chamber through the corridor.

The dim glow of the kerosene lamps filled the entire burial chamber, which was estimated to be forty or fifty square meters in size, and although the space was not very large, it was three or four meters high.

In the middle of the burial chamber is placed a gluttonous beast prostrate on the ground, and a bluestone tablet more than one meter high is erected on the back of the gluttonous beast.

The bluestone stele is densely engraved with an epitaph in a small seal font like a tadpole.

The tombstone is the best proof of the identity of the owner of the tomb.

Understanding the identity of the owner of the tomb is also crucial for touching gold.

Xu Tianchuan carried a kerosene lamp close to the tombstone and carefully read the epitaph on the tombstone.

"Tianchuan, what is written on this epitaph?"

Mo Chunlin subconsciously suppressed his voice and came over to ask.

Although Mo Chulin also recognizes the small seal font, he does not have Xu Tianchuan's ability to read ten lines at a glance, so it is more convenient to ask Xu Tianchuan.

The corners of Xu Tianchuan's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "We guessed correctly above, this is the tomb of King Fu of Western Chu and Fu Jing who rebelled against Qin!" And the epitaph also records that this king of Western Chufu died of illness and was only thirty-two years old at the end of the year. ”

In those days, it was normal to die of illness.

It's just that he became king in his thirties, and then died, which is indeed a pity.

"King Fu's Tomb?"

Listening to Xu Tianchuan's words, Mo Junlin muttered to himself again, and at the same time seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that the ancient princes, even if they were casually buckled from between their fingernails, they were also a wealth that could not be spent in a lifetime.

Although Mo Chunlin's main business is not a tomb robber, as an antique dealer who has been in the business for decades, he is equivalent to stepping on half a foot in the tomb robbery circle, so he knows very well in his heart that all large and heavy weapons are basically from the mausoleum of the prince or above.

Because ordinary people are not qualified to accompany the funeral heavy equipment, and they cannot touch the heavy equipment at all.

Mo Junlin was thinking of heavy treasures.

On the contrary, Xu Tianchuan considered the possible crisis of this tomb, so he looked at all the details of the entire tomb carefully.

The burial chamber was dedicated to the tombstones, which can also be called the 'antechamber'.

There is an arched tomb door on the east and west sides of this front room and directly in front of it, and behind the tomb door is an arched corridor more than two meters wide, which is very deep, and the light of the kerosene lamp does not reach the end at all.

Strictly speaking, the Western Chu Dynasty existed for a relatively short time, so many architectural styles were also continued from the Qin Dynasty, including the form of tombs.

According to Xu Tianchuan's views on the tombs and funeral customs of the Qin Dynasty, the system of burial was still retained during the Qin Dynasty, so it is very likely that two of the three tomb doors lead to the burial chamber.

It is very likely that the concubine can be buried in the same mausoleum with the owner of the tomb, and it is also the favorite concubine of the tomb owner during his lifetime, even if he dies, he must take it with him.

Almost all imperial tombs in history will basically reserve one or two burial chambers, and wait until the concubines die to open the mausoleum and bury them together, which is called a burial.

If it is a burial, it is directly given to death, and it is buried with the owner of the tomb, and the means are more rude.

"There are three tomb gates here, which one do we enter through?"

Yang Zhenchuan looked at the three tomb doors left and right, and subconsciously raised his eyebrows and asked, obviously because he had never been to the tomb, so he had no opinions.

"It depends on where we go, the two tomb doors on the left and right are likely to lead to the burial chamber of the tomb owner's concubine, and the main tomb chamber in the middle!"

Elder Jedi narrowed his eyes into a slit and said in a stern tone.

"Then I must go to the main burial chamber first, do you need to ask?" Jiao San said as a matter of course.

"Hmmm! Go to the main burial chamber, then turn back and enter the burial chambers on either side. ”

Mo Chunlin nodded in agreement, listening to what he meant by this, he planned to loot the entire tomb.

Then Jiao San glanced at one of his subordinates.

This subordinate comprehended God and walked in front with a kerosene lamp and entered the middle corridor.

This corridor is no wider than the narrow corridor that came in from above, first of all, it is very wide, and it is not a problem for five people to walk side by side, and every three meters away, there is a stone platform with a lantern.

In ancient times, the lantern used corpse oil extracted from animals as fuel, and it is certainly impossible to be forever bright, but ancient books record that a lantern can burn for up to three to five years, but this technology has long been lost.

At this point, all the lanterns are also extinguished, but there is still a wick on each lampstand.

Xu Tianchuan took out the kerosene pot, poured the kerosene into the ever-bright lamp, and then took out the fire fold and lit it.

The wick was still usable, and it ignited a flame in an instant.

It's just that the strange thing is that the color of the firelight is actually green!

Hiss......

Xu Tianchuan subconsciously gasped, how could it be green?

Could it be the wick?

The bright green light of the fire was much brighter than the dim light of a kerosene lamp.

The spacious corridor is bright, but it looks eerie.

But it's definitely better than going dark.

"Light up all the everlasting lights on both sides!"

Xu Tianchuan immediately ordered, and everyone took out the kerosene pot, passed through the Yongdao all the way, poured kerosene on all the ever-bright lamps on both sides, and lit the wicks.

More than a dozen ever-bright lights were lit at the same time, and the bright green firelight filled the entire corridor.

After the corridor was completely illuminated, Xu Tianchuan found several tomb openings on both sides of the spacious corridor, almost one every ten meters.

But the entrance to these tombs is very narrow, like a side door, only one meter high and less than half a meter wide.

It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a tomb crossing as a 'window'.

Where do so many small tomb crossings lead, and what are they for?

As an old oilman with more than 20 years of experience in tomb robbing, Jiao San looked at these narrow tomb entrances and seemed to be confused.

This is because although Jiao San has stolen the tomb for more than 20 years, he has never been under an emperor-level mausoleum, otherwise he would not have survived until now.

Therefore, in front of the emperor-level mausoleum, Jiao San's more than 20 years of experience in tomb robbery is not worth mentioning at all.

Even the Peerless Elder looked at the so many narrow tomb entrances that appeared on both sides of the corridor, and it was a little difficult to determine for a while.

Only Xu Tianchuan saw the mystery at a glance: "This is a Xuan Palace!" ”

"Xuan Gong?"

"What is the Xuan Palace?"

Everyone in the confusion looked at Xu Tianchuan in unison.

Xu Tianchuan raised his eyebrows, and now he organized the language in his heart, and explained it in the most straightforward and popular way: "The Xuangong has many meanings, and all the emperors' tombs can be collectively called the Xuangong, but this Fuwang Xuangong can also be popularly interpreted as a labyrinth, that is, many tombs and underground palaces are connected, and since they are connected, there will naturally be many roads that we see."

The larger the scale, the more tombs and corridors, if there is no corresponding way to crack it, it is easy to get lost, and then trap the tomb robbers alive inside!

And if I'm guessing correctly, every underground palace here must have some kind of mechanism! ”

There are not many such palaces in history, because the project is extremely complicated, but it is also very dangerous.

Avoiding triggering traps in the Xuan Palace, and finding the main burial chamber accurately, this difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, Xu Tianchuan also thought of the missing silk book that recorded the 'monthly taboo'.

The term 'moon order' refers to the twelve months of the year.

The word 'taboo' doesn't need to be explained too much, it must be a taboo about this Fuwang Xuangong.

As long as you follow the taboo on the 'Monthly Order', you can avoid the dangers of the Fuwang Xuan Palace and find the main tomb.

But now I don't have that 'monthly taboo' in my hand, so it's all to say it now......
