Chapter 126: Revealed, the Rite of Burial Alive, a Thousand Years Ago

Ye Fan's words stunned everyone.

Burial pits?

Just these three words have already made many people sick in their hearts.

It is difficult for many people to accept the cruel burial system of the ancients.

After all, in today's law-based society, such a horrific behavior is very acceptable.

"Let's go in and have a look, and put on a gas mask."

He nodded to Shen Leopard, and then took out the gas mask from his pocket.

These are all prepared by Lei Lao, after all, once they find the ancient tomb, they must go down, and this gas mask is an excellent choice.

Ye Fan, Shen Bao, Lei Lao, Kong Weiren, and Dong Dabiao crossed the gravel and walked in slowly.

The rest of the people are guarding the outside, always keeping an eye on the movements around them.

It is a 100-square-meter stone chamber surrounded by marble and carved with frescoes.

In the center of the stone chamber, in a deep pit seven or eight meters square, dozens of coffins were placed on top of each other.

And that rancid smell came from this coffin.

Ye Fan frowned, and did not look at the coffin first, but fell on the murals on the surrounding walls.

"The mural was painted on the stone wall by a skilled painter after the martyr was buried alive.

According to this fresco, the owner of the tomb should have been a general who had made great achievements in battle, and in the battle, he captured many slaves, and after he died in battle, the lord of the country held a grand funeral for him, and all his slaves were buried. ”

After reading the content of this mural, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Although in the general environment at that time, there was nothing wrong with being buried, but after all, it was dozens of fresh lives, how could it not be creepy to be buried alive like this?

On the side, Lei Lao nodded admiringly: "Judging from the materials used in this painting, it is outlined by gypsum and egg white, which is mixed with dyes, this mixed liquid can be preserved for a long time, and it will not fade after wind and frost, this technology appeared at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, so this tomb should be after the Northern Song Dynasty, and according to the costumes, costumes, and characteristics of the characters in the murals, it can be judged that this is a tomb in the Great Liao Period, but it is impossible to judge who is buried." ”

"In the era of Da Liao, there were constant wars, talent remarks, and the generals with great military achievements did not know geometry, and they could not start judging only from the murals, so only by finding the epitaph could we judge the identity of the owner of the tomb."

Ye Fan borrowed Lei Lao's words.

Now, he doesn't pay attention to the identity of the owner of the tomb, since there are so many martyrs here, it means that there must be rich funerary goods in the main tomb.

He came here for the burial goods.

After continuing to read the mural, Kong Weiren couldn't help but exclaim: "Since this is a burial room, it should be connected to the main tomb, but why is there no door to go out?" ”

The walls around are all painted with murals, and the entire stone room is as if it were independent, which is very strange.

It can be seen that Kong Weiren should have been to the tomb and had a certain understanding of the form of the tomb.

At this time, Lei Lao said: "Generally speaking, the location of the burial pit is the front of the entire tomb, or on the side of the main tomb, because these martyrs will also serve the tomb owner after death, so they will not be too far away from the tomb owner."

As a professional archaeologist, Lei Lao knows a lot about this.

"In that case, there must be a door out here."

Shen Bao made a final summary, and then began to look around.

Only Ye Fan, his eyes were still staring at the mural until the last one.

After seeing all the murals, Ye Fan slowly closed his eyes and resurfaced the murals in his mind.

One by one, and finally into a whole painting.

"I see."

The corners of Ye Fan's mouth suddenly hooked up a faint sneer.

It turned out that the mural was originally painted on the wall in one piece, and between the third and fourth, there was a small fault.

The door to the stone chamber should be there.

Ye Fan walked over slowly, groping around on a wall that was only about half a meter, and a raised stone was slowly pressed down by him.

Immediately, I saw that the stone wall on the side slowly cracked, and a stone door appeared that could only accommodate one person to enter and exit.

"The artist's skills are really superb, and the design is very ingenious, and the use of murals as clues is so wonderful."

Seeing Ye Fan open the stone gate, Lei Lao couldn't help but admire.

"Let's go, there should be the main tomb road outside, everyone must be careful, don't be reckless, be careful of losing your life."

This tomb is full of weirdness, so you must not take it lightly, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life here.

As soon as Ye Fan's words fell, a gust of wind hit outside, causing several people to shiver.

"No holes, no wind, be careful."

Ye Fan admonished again, and then held the trekking pole in his hand and took the lead out of the burial room.

Outside, a two-meter-wide burial path appeared.

The floor is all striped marble.

Uniformly, there is not the slightest clutter.

"How do they do it? How can you polish marble so smoothly and seamlessly? ”

Shen Bao looked at the tomb in front of him in shock, and his heart was full of emotion.

This kind of craftsmanship, even in modern times, is difficult to do without experienced masons.

"The wisdom of the ancients should never be doubted, but it is a pity that in the long river of history, many crafts have been lost."

Lei Lao sighed, walked out, and saw the wide tomb road.

"Being able to accommodate the next carriage can be accommodated, you can imagine how much labor was needed to build such a huge project at that time."

Kong Weiren and Dong Dabiao also followed, and as oxygen continued to pour in, the torches on the walls were naturally lit up in an instant, and the dim tomb was finally lit up.

Let's go and find the main burial chamber as soon as possible. “

Ye Fan commanded calmly.

Then, a few people walked slowly again.

Because this is the main tomb road, there is no stone chamber connected to it.

Ye Fan and the others entered more than a dozen in a row, but they didn't gain anything.

Because in the form of ancient tombs, many things were used to pile up objects, and they did not have much effect.

Especially those stone chambers dedicated to sacrifices, this tomb has been built for thousands of years, how can anyone still come to worship? So, it's all abandoned.

After half an hour, a few people finally came to a stone gate.

This stone gate is four or five meters long and one zhang high.

It is engraved with birds and beasts, which are vivid and vivid, as if they were real.

And in front of the stone gate, there are two huge stone lions, the majestic guardian stone gate.

"It's so magnificent, it's worthy of being the person who wants to hold a funeral for the lord of the country, only such a person can control such a stone lion, right?"
