Section 8 The Ecstasy Spiral Staircase of the Tianjing Tomb
The tomb door is made with a round bronze gate, and it is also flat on the top of the underground palace, this is the first time to see such a ground door design, and it is unique among the many ancient tombs we investigated!
The design of the tomb door is very exquisite, decorated with two fierce unicorns, with a copper ring in their mouths, presumably directly pulling this copper ring can open the bronze round door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The important work of archaeology is, of course, to use natural light for the first time to take pictures, after taking pictures, the armed police began to reach out and pull the copper ring, but unexpectedly the tomb door opened automatically, it turned out that this was just a mechanism!
The round door opens in the shape of a gossip diagram, revealing a circular tomb road, and the steps in the tomb lead directly to the tomb below. Because the tomb was excavated in a hard mountain, the tomb is still as strong as it used to be, although it has been more than 2,000 years, which shows that the skill of the tomb builder is astonishing.
The tomb passage is relatively wide and rotates a lot, so it seems that this should be the only entrance to the tomb, and the coffins and other items in the tomb should be carried in from the tomb. For the sake of safety, six armed police comrades accompanied us to lead the way in front, and the other four armed police officers measured the pressure formation at the back of the team in case of accidents.
This tomb was built very deeply, and every ten floors down in a circle, a large square burial chamber would appear, which may have been used by the people who carried the coffin at that time to rest on the way.
In the center of each square burial chamber is a bronze statue of a human-faced beast, which looks a bit like a beast of ancient myths and legends, with fierce claws and fangs. Moreover, on the stone walls around the tomb, various patterns are carved everywhere, and various scenes of people's lives in the Western Han Dynasty are painted on them.
All kinds of indications show that this ancient tomb must have been built in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and it can have such a large scale and momentum, which tomb should be the tomb of a big man in the Western Han Dynasty?
A group of us had gone down the spiral staircase very deeply, and we had all gone through three of these square burial chambers on the way, which meant that we had walked through thirty spiral steps, which seemed a little too terrifying, what kind of person would build his own tomb so deep that he would bury himself in hell!
However, the tomb road is still stretching downward, and it is obviously far from the end!
Suddenly, there was a cold wind in the tomb, and I hurriedly used a flashlight to check the front and back of the tomb, but I didn't find anything unusual.
Then we came to the fourth square burial chamber, and after a group of us entered the burial chamber, we rested on the spot, and we were all tired after walking too far.
One of the team members looked around the tomb, and he asked in surprise: "Captain Xiao, what kind of person do you say this tomb owner is, he can actually dig a stone in a solid mountain, how much manpower should be used and how long will it take to repair it!"
I looked up at the top of the tomb and replied very cautiously: "The ancients, in order to build a tomb for themselves to rest for 10,000 years, they often took great pains to repair the underground palace, hoping to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of life after death!"
At this time, Wen Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the top of the tomb and said, "Uncle, look at the corner of the wall above, it seems to be a small hole for ventilation!"
I hurriedly turned on my flashlight and examined each corner, and found that there was indeed a small hole in the eight corners of the tomb, and I walked to one of the corners, reached for the hole, and could clearly feel the air flowing.
Suddenly, there was another cold wind in the tomb, this time it came more violently, and some strange sounds could be faintly heard, a bit like ghosts howling bitterly, which made people listen a little creepy.
We all stood next to the bronze statue, clinging to each other, watching what strange things would happen! But the wind passed quickly, and nothing happened.
After counting the number of people, we didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so we set off and continued down the spiral steps.
Soon we went down ten spirals in a circle, and then entered the fifth burial chamber.
This burial chamber is completely different from the previous four, the whole burial chamber is oval, the space of the burial chamber is very open, nine tall bronze statues and monsters are placed in the middle of the burial chamber, and a circle of small animal bronze statues are also placed on the wall of the burial chamber.
I immediately called out to everyone and said, "Everyone pay attention, it's a little strange here, everyone follow me slowly, don't panic or rush, don't touch anything!"
Wen Yuan followed closely behind me and reminded me: "Uncle, I have carefully looked at the four burial chambers in front, and there are traces of destruction on each bronze statue, which may have been left after the bell of the tomb was lifted by the Longqin in the previous tomb. However, there are nine large bronze statues in this tomb, each of which is intact and has not left any scratches, and it is estimated that Zhong Longqin and they will be injured and return before they can get down here! From here on, we will have to face the mechanism in the tomb by ourselves, but we have to be careful!"
I nodded, carefully examined the nine tall bronze statues, and looked at these blue-faced and fanged monsters, none of them were animals on the ground, what the hell were they!
The non-commissioned officer of the armed police looked at the bronze statue, and then told everyone: "Comrades, experts, everyone be careful, this place is very weird, everyone should not touch anything, remember to report any situation in time, everyone should not be separated, follow the team closely!"
Before the words were finished, someone committed a big taboo.
I don't know if it was because they didn't explain to the team when they set off, or because their curiosity drove them to touch it involuntarily! Curiosity really kills people, and one of the team members reached over and touched the claws of the bronze statue like a cheaper!
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the stone walls around the tomb, as if countless iron chains were being pulled, and suddenly a stone door was opened on each of the stone walls in four directions, and a strong white light shone from the door! Soon a fierce yin wind poured in from two of the stone gates, and then blew away from the other two stone gates.
The location here should have been unattended for a long time, and the accumulated dust was whistling by the wind, and the surroundings became cloudy!
At this time, I was surprised to find that the nine bronze statues suddenly opened countless small openings, and when the wind blew, they poured into the various holes of the bronze statues, and the nine bronze statues began to rumble and make a loud echo.
In the wind and sand, I turned my head to look around, and found that there was no one beside me, at this time I expected that something bad was wrong, and the team members had been blown away in the wind and sand.
I hurriedly braved the strong wind and sand to take a few steps forward, and finally found Zhang Xianyun squatting on the ground to hide from the wind in the turbid wind.
I reached out and pulled him up, and asked him, "Where is Wen Yuan?
Zhang Xianyun shook his head violently, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of sand, and then replied loudly: "Uncle, this wind and sand is too big, I can't see anything clearly, I don't know where Wenyuan is, and I can't see other people!"
I was about to ask a few more questions when I keenly heard the nine bronze statues humming strangely, as if someone was chanting a spell.
Sensitive, I immediately shouted loudly to Zhang Xianyun: "It's not good, the mechanism is on, Xianyun quickly cover your ears with me, don't listen to the sound of the bronze statue, hurry!"
Xianyun was shocked when he heard this, and immediately followed me, covering his ears tightly with both hands, and then the two of us stuck together back to back, cautiously watching the diffuse wind and sand continue to roar!
After a while, there was a loud rumbling sound in the walls, and suddenly there was a thud around them, and the four stone doors were slammed shut!
After the stone door was closed, the wind and sand disappeared immediately, and the entire tomb instantly returned to tranquility, without the white light of the stone door, the tomb became pitch black, and the five fingers could not be seen!
This time I panicked, the wind just now was fierce, and I don't know where my flashlight fell.
At this time, there was a switch sound next to me, Zhang Xianyun turned on the flashlight, and began to look for a flashlight around me, but he didn't find anything, probably blown away by the strong wind just now.
After Zhang Xianyun checked for four weeks, he said to me in a panic: "Uncle is not good, everyone is gone, and only the two of us are left in the entire tomb!"
"What?" After hearing this, I immediately snatched the flashlight from Zhang Xianyun's hand and personally searched around the tomb! Sure enough, there was no one left, not even a bag or equipment, what was the situation?
Fear immediately filled our whole bodies, and Zhang Xianyun and I were trembling in fear!
I don't know what will happen next, we don't dare to move, we don't even dare to take another step, this dungeon is weird and scary, and I don't know what weird mechanism is installed, and everyone is lost at once!
After a long time, Zhang Xianyun spoke: "Uncle, should we retreat back immediately, or continue to go down?"
I hesitated for a moment and then said, "Wen Yuan is missing, we can't just go back like this! In this way, we won't go down, and we won't go back! Do you remember the location of the two stone gates that entered the wind just now?"
Zhang Xianyun replied, "Of course I remember, it's right in front of us!"
I said calmly: "That's Xianyun, when the stone door was opened, it took a few seconds for the wind to start blowing in, and we rushed to the stone gate at the air entrance in these few seconds! There is wind coming from that side, and there is light, there must be a lot of articles over there, maybe it is the real direction of going to the main tomb!"
Zhang Xianyun replied: "Okay uncle, then you come to open the mechanism, and I will be responsible for pulling you over!"
I nodded, shone the bronze statue with a flashlight, and then handed the flashlight to Zhang Xianyun!
Then I dragged Zhang Xianyun with one hand, and reached over with the other hand to touch the copper and scratch it, and touched it,...... , but there was no response?
Then Zhang Xianyun and I changed positions, and continued to touch the second, third, and fourth copper grabs, I went, what was the situation, why didn't I respond?
I was furious, and when I hurriedly reached out to touch the fifth copper grasp, I finally reacted, and the rumbling sound of chains began to be heard from the stone wall again!
Suddenly, I felt my left hand being pulled by Zhang Xianyun, and he quickly ran towards the stone wall.
With a bang, the stone door was opened again, and Zhang Xianyun moved very quickly, dragging me desperately and rushing in.
As a result, the soles of our feet suddenly fell into the air, and we fell into a huge, bottomless cave without a head or brain.
I don't know how long it took to slip off the mountain wall, but I heard a bang, and we both fell to the ground together!
I was unlucky, I was lying flat on the ground, Nima, and there was a sharp pain in the back of my head, and I lost consciousness in an instant!
