……

Munan City is located in the southwest border of China, close to Zang District in the northwest, and adjacent to the boundary in the south.

The mountains are the main impression of the city, and there are always jokes that trains are not as fast as cars.

In this city, some areas still maintain the characteristic style of ethnic minorities.

They are divided into villages, which still retain their own traditions and customs.

In the very center, there is a vigorous development of the business district, high-rise buildings rise from the ground, creating a very high economic construction for Munan.

In Munan, almost any road leads to the mountains, and among these mountains, Cangluan Mountain is the most famous existence.

Cangluan Mountain is not allowed to enter ordinary people, firstly, this is a nature reserve, and secondly, this mountain crosses the border, so a border military district was set up, guarded by soldiers.

The frontier military district was established in the southernmost part of the Cangluan Mountains.

Compared with other conventional troops, the border military district can be called licking blood from the knife edge.

The fact that people are accustomed to living and working in peace and contentment, and the peace and security of the country and the people, is actually because there are countless border guards guarding the borders of the entire country.

They must not only take strict precautions against all lawbreakers who attempt to illegally cross the border, but also prevent some contraband from flowing through border channels.

This also makes them not only need to build a very complete line of defense, but also have the prophetic nature of intelligence.

The border guards, which form a tight line of defense, are indispensable.

At this time, in the Munan Frontier Military District, the commander Feng Shaoyu was frowning and looking at this intelligence document submitted by the soldiers.

The content expressed in the document made Feng Shaoyu feel a little uneasy.

The soldier who was standing aside to hand over the documents also faced Feng Shaoyu at this moment and said solemnly:

"Chief, according to our investigations in the past few days, people who are moving outside the borders are becoming more and more frequent.

They seem to belong to different overseas powers, some of them hide outside the realm and check the situation inside through binoculars, and some mysterious people gather in the border cities of the territory countries.

According to the data that has been used for a long time, the frequency of activities of overseas forces close to the border cities of the consular countries has become more and more frequent.

But at the moment, we have not found out what their purpose is, and we cannot trace the origin of these people's power.

And ......"

Speaking of this, the soldier's voice suddenly paused, and then his expression took on a somewhat strange expression.

"Don't mother-in-law, just say it!"

Feng Shaoyu said sharply.

The soldier swallowed, and then, as if he had made up his mind, spoke:

"There is also a piece of information, but it is not possible to confirm its authenticity at this time.

Someone saw a familiar figure, much like the mountain carving of the year. ”

"Mountain carving? Which mountain carving? ”

"...... Twenty-Three Years Ago"

When the soldier said this number, Feng Shaoyu suddenly remembered.

"Alright, stop talking!"

He immediately interrupted, as if mentioning something that shouldn't be talked about. But at the same time, these words reached Feng Shaoyu's ears, making his brows furrow quickly.

"The mountain eagle has long been discharged from the army, how can it appear here, is it wrong?"

Facing Feng Shaoyu's questioning, the soldier shook his head gently:

"I don't know, I can't verify its authenticity."

In this regard, although Feng Shaoyu was puzzled, he still didn't believe that the mountain carving would really appear here.

If you can't verify the authenticity, then you are probably mistaken.

Therefore, Feng Shaoyu didn't pay too much attention to this.

He thought about looking out the window, just in time to see the direction of the border.

"When things go wrong, there must be demons!

Our borders have always been sacrosanct to the outside world, and most of the time they have not even dared to approach them.

Suddenly, there was a lot of movement around the border, and there must be something we don't know about. ”

The soldier who reported quickly nodded, and at the same time said worriedly:

"At present, we do not know what the purpose of the other side is, but according to various clues, there is a dark tide of forces from all sides overseas.

As those people come into contact with the border area more and more frequently, they seem to be planning something, and it is likely that there will be a big move. ”

Just as the soldier's voice fell, Feng Shaoyu suddenly snorted coldly:

"They dare!"

Immediately afterwards, Feng Shaoyu stood up, looked at the soldier and said sonorously:

"Immediately ordered to go down and increase the line of defense of the border guards from the original three to five.

If these people are only operating in the cities of the territory outside the borders, we have little right to interfere, and if they try to cross the threshold, let them see what we can do. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier quickly agreed, and then left Feng Shaoyu's office.

Feng Shaoyu looked at the document on the table, his brows were tightly locked, and his expression was always very solemn.

He naturally knew that with such a sudden change, something must have happened wrong.

But the current lack of information makes it difficult for Feng Shaoyu to make a clear judgment on this matter.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a dark current surging outside the boundary, and it seemed that many forces wanted to act at the same time, which would hardly happen in normal times.

Therefore, Feng Shaoyu will also think deeply about this, only by figuring out what the forces outside the realm want to do as soon as possible, can he carry out more perfect prevention.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Just as Feng Shaoyu was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then Deputy Commander Peng Hai strode in.

"Old Feng, the professors who came from Lava City are almost here, shouldn't we also prepare?"

"So soon?"

"Of course, they attach great importance to this operation, and it is said that they can already basically judge that their target is in Cangluan Mountain."

Feng Shaoyu nodded, and then said as if he had thought of something again:

"The Molten City Military Region has already sent a cooperation order, and this time, judging from their protection strength, the target that the professors are looking for is very important.

Not only did the Rongcheng police send people to protect them, but the military also personally led the team for Commander Xu to escort them along the way.

We must also start preparing immediately, and in the next actions, we must ensure that the professors do not make any mistakes within our boundaries. ”

"Understood!"

The professors mentioned by the two were none other than Sun Mo, Chen Jie, and Professor Cai, who came from the melting city.

Due to the urgency of time, they did not delay too much in Rongcheng, and immediately set off to Munan City.

They have only one goal, and that is Cangluan Mountain!

……

Just when Feng Shaoyu and Peng Hai got the news and rushed to the gate of the military region, they saw several military vehicles that were already full of mud lined up and slowly drove into the military region.

This journey is a long way, if it weren't for Professor Sun, they would have to bring some professional equipment and would not be willing to part with the equipment.

In desperation, they had no choice but to take a military vehicle, otherwise they would have arrived in the military region by helicopter by now.

Soon, from the military vehicle in front, Xu Kui and the guards with him took the lead in walking down.

Immediately after that, in the car behind were Professor Sun and other archaeologists.

On a military vehicle in the back were Chen Ye and other police officers, followed by the accompanying military team.

After a short polite meeting, the group quickly gathered in the conference room.

The military representatives of Rongcheng who participated in the meeting were Xu Kui, and the police representatives were Chen Ye and Zhou Xiaoxiao.

The representative of the border military district was Commander Feng Shaoyu.

And the protagonists of this meeting are naturally Professor Sun and others.

But there was an unexpected person at the scene, who also came with Professor Sun and others, and this person was a famous Gu Ye in antiques.

Of course, according to Gu Ye's temper, he is usually very reluctant to deal with official people.

But for this reason, Professor Sun made a special trip and made a choice for Gu Ye.

In fact, Gu Ye's ability is not weak, especially because he knows a lot about the history of antiques.

Therefore, this operation is also an opportunity for Gu Ye to clear his name.

As the saying goes, you can't give face, you can't always do it against the official, right? Gu Ye did not refuse Professor Sun's proposal and successfully joined the archaeological team.

However, Gu Ye is sitting among several professors at the moment, and the aura of the rivers and lakes on his body is still very obvious.

After all, for Professor Sun and others, this meeting is so important that the border military district is enough to save face, and even the commander himself will attend the meeting.

But Gu Ye didn't seem to be very interested in this, although he seemed cautious because he had never seen such a big battle, but that kind of Jianghu energy still seemed out of place with others.

"Professors, let's make a long story short, in the investigation order of the Molten City Military Region, we also learned that this operation is very urgent.

If there is anything that needs to be done by our border military districts, we will implement it in the shortest possible time. ”

Feng Shaoyu got straight to the point and didn't beat around the bush, which is in line with the temper of a soldier, just like Xu Kui also likes this straightforward way of getting along.

As a representative of the archaeological team, it is natural for an authoritative expert like Professor Sun to speak at this moment.

"Commander Feng, that's right, since our actions need to be concealed in the document, so we haven't mentioned it too much, since everyone is already sitting here, it's okay to talk about it.

Some time ago, we learned about an ancient tomb, and this ancient tomb will play a very key role in the archaeological history and genetic research of China.

According to our investigation during this time, it can basically be judged that this ancient tomb should be located in Cangluan Mountain.

So we also rushed over as soon as possible.

We hope that the border military district will cooperate with us as soon as possible to establish an archaeological stronghold and implement a 24-hour blockade around the stronghold.

We will also locate the tomb as soon as possible and complete the necessary archaeological operation. ”

Feng Shaoyu didn't say a word and quickly agreed, because the relevant information was actually reflected in the document, and the reason why he sat here to talk was nothing more than to get acquainted with each other and facilitate his future work.

But at the same time, Feng Shaoyu has always had a doubt in his heart, because whether it is in the document or in Professor Sun's narration, the ancient tomb is only mentioned, but it does not indicate what age this ancient tomb is, or whose tomb it is.

Therefore, after the most important decision has been made, Feng Shaoyu also asked curiously:

"Professors, what kind of tomb are you looking for?

I've been in the defense region for many years, and I've never heard of any legends about the tombs of celebrities on Cangluan Mountain. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jie, who was sitting next to Professor Sun, gently pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, and her demeanor still exuded the elegance of a mature woman:

"Commander Feng didn't mention it before, because this matter is very important, and now that you asked, there is no need for us to hide it.

The ancient tomb we are looking for is likely to be the Chiyou Tomb. ”

"Chiyou?"

Feng Shaoyu had a lot of speculations before this, but he never thought that the money he was spending a lot of money for the professor was actually for a legendary character.

"Chiyou? Is there really such a person? ”

Chen Jie smiled, but said with some helplessness in her tone:

"We can't give any accurate answer to this point for the time being, and it is only possible to have an accurate conclusion after finding the ancient tomb.

That's why we're in such a hurry, and we can't afford to delay it. ”

Feng Shaoqi didn't ask anything more, although the news still surprised him a little.

Before dawn on the second day, the gate of the border military district was already opened, and groups of heavily armed border guards were dispatched one after another, and soon carried out perimeter defense at the estimated position of the archaeological team.

Professor Sun and the others stood in the military area in high spirits, and after the construction of the outer perimeter was completed, they would immediately enter the mountains and begin to explore the specific location of the ancient tomb.

Gu Ye, who has never seen this kind of movement, really looks a little abrupt standing in the archaeological team.

At the moment, he was sleepy and tired, but because he was surrounded by some big people, he had to restrain his actions, and even yawned carefully.

Due to the urgency of this operation, Professor Sun and his team did not have time to send people from other places to form an archaeological team.

Therefore, it is only possible to find some relevant people as much as possible, determine the location of the tomb first, and then transfer it if necessary.

This can be fully illustrated by the fact that Professor Sun has personally participated in the battle at such an age.

Half an hour later, Feng Shaoyu came to Professor Sun and the others, and nodded slightly:

"Professors, the perimeter has been prepared, and the border guards are already camping in the mountains, in the places you have marked.

All the relevant equipment has been transported to the mountain, and you can go there at any time. ”

Xu Kui saluted Feng Shaoyu:

"Thank you for the support of the chief, in this case, we will not delay any longer, and we will go immediately!"

Since the road to the destination was basically a mountain road, it was no longer possible for military vehicles to go a few kilometers after leaving the military region, so Xu Kui and the others had to get out of the car and walk to the mountains.

At dawn, everyone had already arrived at the camp, and the group quickly divided into three ways to start their own business.

Professor Sun and others began to mobilize equipment to find the specific location of the ancient tomb, while Xu Kui and others negotiated with the person in charge of the perimeter prevention operation to ensure that there would be no missing place in the entire defense line.

As for Chen Ye and others, they contacted the Munan City Police as soon as possible, and the Munan City Police dispatched manpower to form the second layer of the prevention area.

A few hours later, the entire defense area had basically formed the outermost part, which was guarded by the armed military, and there were special police officers on the inside, standing by under the command of Chen Ye.

These precautions are all in order to allow Professor Sun and others to find the location of Chiyou's tomb without any scruples.

After all, this place is special, close to the border, and there are some things that have to be guarded against.

Professor Sun and the others have fully devoted themselves to their work at this moment, and Chen Jie has also changed into a cross-country suit that is easy to move at this time.

This neutral outfit, paired with a pair of black boots, reflects Chen Jie, with a sassy and heroic style.

Professor Sun is holding the detector in his hand at the moment, and the display screen of the instrument is in Professor Cai's hand, and the two of them are constantly pushing forward.

As for Gu Ye, his task is relatively simple, he doesn't need much physical activity, he only needs to read some ancient books to learn as much as possible about Chi You.

In this way, the whole operation has been carried out in an orderly manner.

Before I knew it, a day and a night had passed, and the archaeological team had not gained anything, and they were meeting in the camp to discuss at the moment.

"Cangluan Mountain is too big, and the Chiyou tomb is very old, and the changes caused by the movement of the earth's crust are immeasurable."

Professor Sun looked at the people in front of him with a solemn expression and said:

"Tomorrow we have to shift direction and continue to go south and try to expand the search."

Chen Jie pushed her glasses and nodded lightly, expressing her agreement:

"We've been searching for more than 24 hours and I recommend everyone take a break and get back to good shape as soon as possible.

There's still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.

According to our plan, the location of Chiyou Tomb was determined within three days, and now one day has passed, and the remaining two days are also our most critical moments. ”

"I think it's okay, all the clues we have so far point to the Chiyou Tomb, in the area of Cangluan Mountain.

We've searched half of the estimated area today, and at this rate, if our previous investigation isn't wrong, we'll be able to spot the destination in the next two days. ”

Professor Cai pondered and analyzed the current situation.

Several people chatted enthusiastically, but Gu Ye, who was sitting next to him, had already started a fight with his upper and lower eyelids.

This is understandable, after all, Gu Ye does not have the same sense of responsibility as Professor Cai.

After all, you must know that there are less than 700 qualified archaeological excavation leaders in the entire Chinese archaeological excavation team, and under such realistic conditions, the archaeological team often chooses to rent some soy sauce parties with pure physical strength.

Had it not been for the urgency of this operation, the archaeological team would have at least doubled in size.

But the few people who can sit here now are already the best choices for this operation.

"Okay, in that case, let's go and rest."

Professor Sun quickly terminated today's conversation, which made Gu Ye come suddenly, and he agreed again and again, and ran back to his tent in a puff of smoke.

Although he didn't have any sense of responsibility, in fact, in the process of searching for a day and a night, Gu Ye did make a lot of discoveries through some ancient books.

According to records, Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor in the Battle of the Deer, and he was also in a different place because of this.

But although Chiyou died in his tribe, he still came to a judgment based on Gu Ye's investigation of the ancient scrolls, and Chiyou's tribe should have evolved into several ethnic groups in the end.

After all, there were 81 brothers in Chiyou at that time, and after each brother was in charge of a tribe's battle for deer, this large tribe disappeared and has evolved into today's Han, Miao, Yao, etc.

Due to Chiyou's defeat and different skills, there should be more than one cemetery for Chiyou.

But the reason why I chose to investigate in Canglan Mountain is because it is likely that what is hidden here is Chiyou's head and body.

This is naturally the most important place to investigate, but due to the discontinuity of history, it is difficult to know what kind of precautions will be in place in this tomb.

Gu Ye's main goal is this, he must at least be able to have a basic estimate of the environment in the tomb when determining the location of the ancient tomb.

……

The next day, the archaeological team once again devoted itself to the search for Chiyou's tomb.

Since the transfer location is involved, the transportation of some equipment naturally requires Chen Ye and others to accompany them.

Zhou Xiaoxiao obviously hadn't walked so many mountain roads at once, so although she didn't say anything, she still looked a little tired.

Chen Ye, who was walking beside Zhou Xiaoxiao, also continued to encourage Zhou Xiaoxiao along the way.

How many people like them who live in the city have walked so many mountain roads?

And because of the high altitude of Cangluan Mountain, the further south you go, the more prone to altitude sickness, so this road is not easy for anyone.

The operation lasted for nearly another six hours, but the end result was a joy for everyone.

"Found it! The Chiyou Tomb is at our feet! ”

Professor Cai's eyes widened with excitement as he looked at the signal feedback from the display, and his voice trembled from being too excited at the moment.

Professor Sun and the others quickly came to Professor Cai's side, and after repeatedly checking the signal feedback, they all smiled.

"Finally found it, right here!"

"The efforts of this period of time have finally not been in vain, and the mysterious Chiyou Tomb is about to be unveiled by us."

"Hurry up and prepare, and determine the entrance to the ancient tomb as soon as possible!"

Professor Sun immediately gave the order, and this discovery quickly made the exhausted crowd re-energized.

Fortunately, the people Xu Kui brought in this operation were all young and strong young men, and they were just able to act as manual laborers at this moment.

For some meticulous work, Professor Sun and several people personally went into battle, but for the things to be carried, these young men were naturally needed to do it.

After spending a day, with the help of various equipment and tools, the entrance was finally cleared to accommodate people.

I have to say that the official operation is indeed much faster than the wild road of the tomb robbers, because the equipment is too complete, and there is even some scientific and technological products to assist, plus there are many people, and the work efficiency is exceptionally fast.

It was also at this moment that the secret of Chiyou's tomb was officially exposed in front of everyone's eyes.

That night, Professor Sun and the others sat around the fire, although their food was very simple, just some compressed dry food for the military, but this did not affect their joy in the slightest.

Chen Ye was holding a kettle in his hand, standing against the backdrop of this atmosphere at this moment, the kettle in his hand seemed to have turned into a wine bottle, which made Chen Ye's face full of smiles:

"I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect that we would be able to overcome this problem in just a few days."

Zhou Xiaoxiao sat aside and nodded, with a bright smile on her face, very healing:

"These few days must be the most memorable days of my life, I feel like I have walked a road that I have never walked in my life, and this altitude sickness ......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao also deliberately took out a portable oxygen cylinder, took a deep breath of oxygen, and then continued:

"It's really a toss for me......"

Xu Kui also had a stinky face at the moment, looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao with a smile and said:

"It's not easy for you to be able to participate in such a historic operation at such a young age."

Chen Jie sat quietly next to her, and the firelight reflected on her face, which added some human fireworks to her.

"The rapid progress of this operation is inseparable from the great help of everyone here."

Professor Sun raised the water glass in his hand, looked at the people in front of him and said:

"Tomorrow is the time for us to officially go to the tomb, Lao Gu has been collecting clues about the Chiyou tomb for the past few days.

According to the clues we know so far, there should be a lot of mechanisms in the tomb of Chiyou.

So for us, tomorrow is the real test, and we should be ready to fight for tomorrow while we celebrate today. ”

As soon as he heard Professor Sun mention himself, Gu Ye immediately laughed:

"Professor Sun, if we find any artifacts in the ancient tomb, can you divide them with me?"

As soon as he heard this, Professor Sun suddenly made a face, looked at Gu Ye and said seriously:

"Old Gu, Ling's ideological consciousness still needs to be improved.

We have taken such a painstaking action not for the cultural relics inside, but for the archaeological value behind the cultural relics.

The significance of Chiyou's tomb is very significant, not only Chiyou's corpse, but also related cultural relics, which may open a door for us that we have never known before.

It's an honour for you to be a participant in such an important and historic moment. ”

Although Professor Sun said this, everyone could see that Gu Ye didn't seem to listen, and his face was full of regrets.

Obviously, in his opinion, there is no such thing as glory.

However, under this kind of gathering of all parties, Gu Ye dared to say anything, so he could only nod on the side and become a transparent person again.

In fact, he didn't know that the real secret of Chiyou's tomb was related to genes, which was something that the official hierarchy attached great importance to, and archaeology was just a beginning.

The meeting didn't last long, but it did boost the morale of the crowd.

Everyone is looking forward to the time when the tomb will actually be buried tomorrow.

At dawn the next day, Professor Sun and others had already gathered at the entrance of the cleared Chiyou tomb.

A stone gate that stretched nearly two meters deep into the ground before it was revealed, after thousands of years, finally saw the light of day.

At this moment, Professor Sun and the others have already changed into clothes that are easy to move, and professional archaeological tools such as Luoyang shovels are also placed in their backpacks.

In addition to the Luoyang shovel, there is also a smaller hand shovel, which is a delicate tool used to scrape the surface to prevent damage to the ruins.

Of course, bamboo sticks, brushes, watering cans, screens and the like are all equipped in the backpacks of several people.

As professional archaeologists, Professor Sun and others are all excited about what is about to happen.

In order to ensure that there would be no accidents when they went to the tomb, Xu Kui and Chen Ye chose to stay outside and be with the security team.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was assigned to the archaeological team, and followed Professor Sun and others to the tomb as a response person inside and outside.

Following Professor Sun's order, several people entered the not spacious stone door in turn, and what greeted them was pitch black and the unique mixed smell of the ancient tomb.

The passage leading to the burial chamber was very narrow, and Professor Sun and others found that the burial passage extended all the way underground.

After walking a distance, the expressions on Zhou Xiaoxiao's face had already distorted together.

The thinning of oxygen here no longer seems to be the most serious problem, but the strange smell of this mixture makes Zhou Xiaoxiao really unacceptable.

But looking at Chen Jie, who was walking behind Zhou Xiaoxiao, it seemed that she had long been used to it, and there was no change in mood.

When seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao's uncomfortable expression, Chen Jie also smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry, just get used to it, the first time I went down to the tomb with the archaeological team, I felt the same as you."

"Professor Chen, why does this smell so strange?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao asked Chen Jie with some doubts, and Chen Jie quickly gave a professional answer:

"In fact, the tombs in the north basically have no taste, because the ancient tombs are old, and some even coffins are mixed with soil, so the smell is only some loess.

Even in a place with high humidity, it just smells of earth.

However, the tombs in the south are completely different, because of the high water table, the tombs have green plaster mud, so there will be a smell, and the deeper you go down, the stronger the smell of wood.

Believe me, the fishy smell of Chiyou's tomb is already light. ”

Chen Jie's reply made Zhou Xiaoxiao admire him very much, and only then did he really realize that the archaeological team members were not so good.

……

At the same time, after Chen Ye watched the archaeological team enter the tomb, he immediately arranged for SWAT team members to strictly guard the entrance.

The military is responsible for the security of the perimeter, and all he has to do is ensure the internal security of the area where the archaeological team operates.

However, at this moment, Chen Ye's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he looked at the caller ID with some confusion, which turned out to be an unfamiliar local number.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ye couldn't think of who would call him at this time, so he quickly connected it and put it in his ear.

A man's voice soon came over the phone:

"May I ask if it's Captain Chen Ye? I am Duan Feng, the captain of the first action team of the Munan City Police Department.

We just received a reminder that a melt city filing officer had just entered Munan City.

We have sent police officers to keep an eye on you, and the director knows that you are from the Rongcheng Police Department, so let me call and ask, do you know what the purpose of this filing officer is to come to our Munan City? ”

"What? Rongcheng filing personnel? ”

This sudden news made Chen Ye frown quickly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of someone, but quickly dispelled this thought.

How is this possible?

After a moment of silence, since Chen Ye really couldn't pull away now, and he didn't care about these things, he just paused for a moment and immediately said:

"I don't know, you just have to follow your rules."

"Okay, understood."

The other party quickly hung up the phone, but Chen Ye looked at the phone and frowned suspiciously.

The person he thought of was naturally Su Yun, but in Chen Ye's point of view, Su Yun should still be in Fancheng's hometown now.

This is Munan City, how could Su Yun suddenly come here from afar?

"Captain Chen, there is a problem with the deployment on the east side, and I find that the beast is infested, what should I do?"

At this moment, the voice of the police officer came, which made Chen Ye have to put this doubt behind him for the time being.

He quickly rushed over and made an emergency dispatch on the spot.

……

By this time, Professor Sun and the others had been walking along the grave for about 20 minutes.

But except for the faint light that the flashlight can bring, the entire tomb is still pitch black, but everyone can feel that the tomb is still in a state of downward extension.

But at this moment, Professor Sun, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and Zhou Xiaoxiao curiously looked ahead with a flashlight, only to find that they had actually come to a dead end.

A stone wall blocked everyone's way, sealing off the entire tomb, and everyone was dumbfounded for a while.

"What's going on? Could it be that we are mistaken, this is not the entrance to the Chiyou Tomb at all? ”

Professor Cai frowned and walked to the stone wall, examined the gap between the stone wall and the wall in detail, and then refuted the idea himself:

"No, this should be a living wall, everyone hurry up and find out if there is any mechanism around here that can open this living wall."

Traps are not uncommon in ancient tombs, after all, all tomb owners do not want their tombs to be visited by others after a hundred years.

Therefore, after hearing what Professor Cai said, Professor Sun and the others quickly dispersed and groped along the wall.

But after looking around, all the walls are relatively smooth, and there is no trace of any mechanism at all.

But during this period, Professor Sun inadvertently looked up and suddenly found several lampstands above his head above the tomb.

This ancient lampstand is hung from the top of the tomb, and the arrangement is irregular, which is supposed to be used for lighting when the tomb was built before.

However, the position of the lampstand is so high that it is difficult for two people to touch it together.

After all, this is the tomb of Chiyou, and according to legends, although Chiyou is not very tall, it is also three or four meters.

If this legend is true, then it can be basically judged from the height of this tomb that this should be the Chiyou Tomb.

After all, this tomb should have been built by people from Chiyou's tribe, and it is reasonable that people can't reach it now.

However, this sudden stone wall shattered everyone's plan to continue to explore deeply.

As they spent more and more time in the tomb, the oxygen had thinned to the point where there was barely enough.

Although at this juncture, no one wants to give up.

But the reality was in front of him, and Professor Sun had to make a difficult decision.

"It seems that the first attempt to enter the eye can only end in failure, the appearance of this stone wall is blocking our way, if there is really no way to enter by cracking the mechanism, we can only mobilize explosives and blow the stone wall open."

However, just as Professor Sun's voice fell, Professor Cai's voice came quickly:

"I'm afraid this won't work, I've already analyzed the soil in this place, and I have roughly estimated the location of the Chiyou tomb.

This location is very special, if we were to blast explosives at such a depth, the amount of explosives that could blow up the stone wall would be enough to cause the mountain to collapse to varying degrees.

There have always been many villages around this mountain, and in the early years, when it was not very standardized, it was due to excessive logging, which led to mudslides.

After so many years of hard work, although it has become a nature reserve, the terrain of the mountains and rivers is still very weak.

We can only find as many clues as possible to crack this mechanism after we get out, otherwise there is no other way to enter the tomb. ”

Professor Cai's words are like a basin of cold water that has extinguished everyone's hopes.

After a moment of silence, Professor Sun could only sigh helplessly and gave the order he was unwilling to say:

"Let's go, let's go back to the ground first.

The oxygen is getting thinner, and if we stay any longer, the amount of oxygen left may not be able to sustain us back to the surface.

As for what to do with this stone wall, we will discuss it after we go up. ”

Although Professor Sun had already thought of it, the Chiyou Tomb must not be able to enter if you want to.

But he encountered such a problem not long after he went to the tomb, and anyone else would feel a little frustrated.

Everyone reluctantly returned the same way again, and when they arrived at the ground, Chen Ye and Xu Kui, who had been waiting, ran over to this side.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the group, Xu Kui frowned, as if he had realized that something unexpected seemed to have happened.

"Professor Sun, why did you come back so soon?"

Professor Sun didn't speak, but the expression on his face said it all.

Chen Jie, who was standing on the side, hugged her arms and sighed lowly:

"We came across a stone wall in the burial hallway deep into the burial chamber, which was supposed to be a mechanism that had been set up earlier, but we couldn't find any clues to crack it.

We were running out of oxygen, so we had to go back to the surface first. ”

After this news made Chen Ye and Xu Kui look at each other, they frowned.

It seems that things are not going as smoothly as they thought they would be......

Although the people had returned to the ground, they did not give up the idea of continuing the investigation, and they soon sat down not far from the entrance to the tomb and discussed.

"We've inspected it in detail just now, and there's no trace of a groove or triggerable mechanism.

So there should only be two possibilities, the first possibility is that the trigger point of the mechanism is out of our reach, and the second possibility is that the trigger of the mechanism was not set up at all.

But I personally prefer the first option, after all, the people who built this tomb in the first place also need to enter and exit. ”

Professor Cai made a very professional analysis of the current situation, and this analysis was quickly recognized by others.

"I think Professor Cai is right, the first possibility should be the most reasonable at the moment.

Although the tomb is very narrow, it is about 4 meters high, and there is no possibility that a trigger mechanism is set up overhead. ”

Chen Jie recalled that she had deliberately observed the memories of her surroundings when she was searching in the tomb just now, and this point of view she put forward has become the most reasonable explanation at present.

"But even so, we can't carry a ladder to get in, everyone can see how narrow this tomb is, even if we wear a little thicker clothes, it will be difficult to get in.

The tomb is supposed to have been deliberately modified, and both sides are filled with stones, which do not match the volume that can be formed by the high ceilings. ”

Gu Ye sat aside very dejectedly, with his head down and unable to lift any spirits.

But what he said was very reasonable, and the tomb passage that had been deliberately modified was to avoid the ease of entry for latecomers.

These problems have been bothering them, and there is no solution for a while.

Even if they could guess that the trigger was likely to appear overhead, what would they do?

You can't carry any climbing tools with you, and you don't have any points of focus on the smooth walls.

Not to mention the archaeological team, even well-trained soldiers have no good way to get in.

This difficult problem was placed in front of everyone, and their mood became more and more depressed.

After discussing and discussing, they still did not come up with any effective solutions, which naturally made them more and more anxious.

Even professional archaeological teams are difficult to draw any effective conclusions, and Xu Kui and Chen Ye, who are laymen, are naturally even more unable to interject.

But even so, it is naturally impossible for them to give up such an opportunity, and they finally found Chi Youmu, so they can't just because of a solid wall.

Recall that there were several forks in the tomb in front of the stone wall, but at that time it was not clear where these forks led, so the archaeological team did not go deep into the forks.

Therefore, they could not think of any other way, and they could only pin their hopes on these forks in the road, and maybe there was some other way to the tomb.

After re-equipping the oxygen tanks, the team set off again into the tomb, but after entering the tomb, instead of taking the same path that led to the stone wall, they entered a fork in the road.

But when you really enter this fork in the road, you soon realize that something is wrong, these forks in the road are winding and have multiple forks, and if you keep following these forks in the road, you will soon lose your way.

Moreover, there seems to be something special in the materials used to build the tomb, which causes all the technological instruments to malfunction after entering the tomb.

The archaeological team could not find the right direction through the compass, and naturally did not dare to go too deep into the tomb.

Tread - step - step - step -

During this period, Professor Cai seemed to have suddenly heard something, and then he was stunned, put his ear against the wall for a few seconds, and then looked at several people and asked suspiciously:

"Did you hear any footsteps?"

Several people were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly listened, but found nothing.

"Professor, did you hear me wrong?"

I couldn't help but shake my head at this, this is an ancient tomb, there is no one around, where is the footsteps?

"Really? Maybe I'm hallucinating, it's so quiet. ”

Professor Cai was puzzled, and everyone only thought that Professor Cai had heard it wrong, and they didn't care much.

After a while, after going around and around, Professor Sun and the others finally returned to the main road, but what caught their eyes was still the stone wall that made people helpless.

All of a sudden, everyone sat exhausted in the narrow cemetery, and the sound of long beards and short sighs came from time to time.

"What now? The soil environment here is very complex, and conventional blasting methods simply do not work here.

Could it be that we found the tomb of Chiyou, but we have to fall short because of this stone wall? ”

Gu Ye's upset and irritable voice came, although the words were a little low, but they were indeed coarse.

Professor Sun and Professor Cai still haven't given up, they are still looking for all the places where the trigger mechanism may be hidden.

Although the group had guessed that the trigger mechanism was likely to exist overhead, they really had no way to verify this guess without the help of any tools.

It's like suddenly announcing the failure of all actions at the end of the door, and it's good if the location of Chiyou's tomb hasn't been determined from beginning to end.

But now they have entered the Chiyou Tomb, but because of such a mechanism, they have fallen short, and no one can swallow this breath.

Professor Sun looked up at the top of his head, and suddenly thought of something, frowned and said:

"You say, could this lampstand be a mechanism?"

Professor Sun's words quickly attracted the attention of the others.

The position of the lampstand is so abrupt that it doesn't look like it's just for lighting.

Chen Jie had doubts early on, but because he couldn't put it into practice, he didn't say the idea.

Now that Professor Sun mentioned it, Professor Cai immediately nodded and said:

"It's quite possible, maybe lighting the lampstand and triggering the trap.

Even if the mechanism cannot be triggered, it may be that when the lampstand is lit, it will show traces of the mechanism. ”

This discovery undoubtedly gave everyone a hope, but this hope did not last long.

"It's just a hypothesis, and there's no way to prove it."

Gu Ye Laili's angry voice came, and his face was full of helplessness:

"In the end, it's still a toss!

With a height of more than four meters, it is not possible to use any tools, unless it is a stack of arhats, who can go up and practice? ”

But just as Gu Ye's words fell, a strange voice suddenly came from the depths of the quiet and dark tomb!

"Why don't I try?"

This sudden sound made everyone stunned.

"Who's talking?"

Someone asked in surprise, but after glancing at each other, they all shook their heads, and suddenly, a chill rose from the soles of their feet to the heavens.

You must know that this is an ancient tomb, and suddenly an unfamiliar voice comes, which naturally makes people feel creepy.

Everyone stood up at this moment, and almost simultaneously focused their flashlights in the direction from which the sound came.

It was a fork in the road not far away, but the flashlight was not bright enough to illuminate the entire fork in the road.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at the dark tomb with some doubts, and the voice he had just heard echoed in his mind.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Everyone held their breath at the moment, and this sudden sound made everyone feel a little uneasy.

Step-step-step!

Finally, a footstep came from far and near, weak and inaudible, but gradually heavy, getting closer and closer, and there was something terrifying in the empty cemetery.

Professor Cai was carrying a Luoyang shovel in his hand at this time, which seemed to have become a weapon he relied on.

Chen Jie, a mature woman with a dignified woman, also took out the self-defense knife she carried with her waist and stared at the tomb with a nervous expression.

Professor Sun struggled to control his breathing, but even so, his chest continued to rise and fall violently.

Zhou Xiaoxiao simply took out the pistol directly, and pressed her fingers on the trigger, with a posture of waiting.

This is an ancient tomb thousands of years ago, how could anyone be active in the tomb?

Could it be that what is described in ancient legends is true, but how is this possible?

Or, a tomb robber? But how can they be able to find it?

At this time, several people had different guesses about this sudden voice.

They were pressed against the walls of the tombway, staring at the dark tombway.

The sound of unhurried footsteps, as if death was coming, made everyone nervous.

Finally, the footsteps were getting closer, and then a figure stepped into the range of the flashlight's rays, and a silhouette could already be seen.

The figure was dressed simply, but was carrying a backpack with unzipped backpacks, a long strip leaking out of it, and a hairy crouching animal squatting on its shoulder......
