Chapter 50: A Shock from More Than Two Thousand Years Ago
As professional archaeological talents, the old man Li Yunshan and the old man Lu Changling don't know how many times they have been in charge of archaeological work, and they are both majors among majors.
But this time, the main ruins have not been excavated, and there are still the remains of such a huge bronze portal, which they really haven't excavated a few times in their lifetimes.
Faced with the relics that seemed to be the first emperor's alchemy, the two old men were careful and careful.
After making sufficient planning and protection measures, the two old men led the crowd to find a good angle at a distance from the bronze portal, and used the oldest method to gently excavate.
In the process of excavation, everyone was very careful, and their movements were extremely gentle, and each shovel was lightly tacted, for fear that there was still some treasure buried in the cliff wall, and it was as if they had dug it up.
But luckily, that didn't happen.
Although the soil is very soft, the excavation work is still very labor-intensive.
Dig from early morning to noon, from noon to sunset, and then continue digging with a flashlight.
It took nearly a day of digging to dig a passage more than ten meters long on the mountain.
In the face of all this, everyone was already tired and sweaty, and their backs and legs hurt, but at this time, their mental state was extremely full.
Because as the excavation continued, almost everyone had a hunch in their minds that behind the bronze portal in front of them, there was definitely a huge secret hidden!
Finally!
Just the next day, after they continued digging for a few meters, there was finally a crisp sound ahead!
'Bell~! ’
The shovel crashed against the ancient rock with a crisp sound.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and found that in front of the passage, there was a wall made of rocks, this wall was boxy, each one was one meter square, flat and smooth, it was obviously an unnatural product!
The glow of the flashlight illuminated the entire passage, and almost everyone's eyes lit up with excitement!
"This stone..... It can be determined that it is a relic of the Qin Dynasty! ”
"Look at the patterns on this stone, this piece represents the flowing clouds, this piece represents the mountains and rivers, and these two words are the totems of the Qin Dynasty era, representing the Xuanniao and the real dragon!"
The old man Li Yunshan spoke excitedly here, studying carefully, obviously a little excited.
"Be careful, just push the rocks away!"
"These stones are already very soft under the baptism of time, be careful, don't destroy them!"
The crowd nodded.
With excitement, three tall and strong team members stepped forward, carefully put their hands on them, and gently pushed them.
"Beware! Don't destroy it, it's an ancient artifact! ”
"Who built this? In such a deep mountain, such a big hole was dug, such ancient ruins were built, and even stone barriers were piled up! ”
"Is it really the first emperor Yingzheng's childhood? I'm starting to believe a little! ”
"Could this be the remains of alchemy?"
"It must be! Even if it wasn't, it was definitely a huge discovery! ”
Everyone discussed excitedly in a whisper, and with a clicking sound, the small stone wall was gradually pushed out of a gap!
Everyone held their breath, and the light of the flashlight was all concentrated here!
'Click, click...'
With the sound of tooth-sore rocks, the huge rocks up to one meter thick were gradually pushed away by everyone!
Then there was the sound of heavy breathing, and the cracks in the rock widened inch by inch....
A slight stream of wind gradually came from behind the rocks.
Everyone held their breath, everyone's eyes widened, and the glasses behind the flashlight were all excited to the extreme!
Especially people like Ye Qingyao and Chu Yi, who have not participated in archaeology a few times, are even more breathless!
You must know that this period of history has not even been recorded in the history books!
Whether it is true or not, they are witnessing the blank years on a certain period of history!
Finally!
The huge square boulder was completely pushed away.
Everyone couldn't wait to see the past.
However, when the light of the flashlight shone in, and everyone didn't fully see the scene inside, a gust of wind burst out from the space inside the boulder without warning!
This gust of wind came too suddenly, and it directly staggered the first few people, and the skin rose for a while, and even wisps of blood penetrated!
However, the first few people didn't care about these at all.
They just stared at everything behind the square boulder, and their eyes were as wide as copper bells, full of shock.
"It's ....."
"What....."
A faint light.
Illuminates the space inside.
Unlike the dark caverns you might expect, this is a field with light.
It is about 100 meters wide and 10 meters high, and its overall area is about the size of two or three basketball courts.
Ancient stone pillars stand one after another.
Some of these pillars have collapsed, some are full of cracks, and some are still intact.
The above is carved in a relief way, carved with dragons and birds, which together support this mountain site.
The cliffs above the dome, neat and smooth, are all built up of this large rock, and one after another unknown gems are set in the stone walls, refracting the light of the flashlight in all directions, bringing a subtle light to the whole site.
And in the very center of this place is an ancient and huge platform.
There are all kinds of utensils placed on the platform, some large, some small, with different shapes, densely distributed around the platform.
And at the very center of this huge platform.
It's a huge bronze vessel.
It is about eight or nine meters tall and more than ten meters wide, and its whole body is boxy, slightly flattened.
It resembles a large tripod, but it has six legs and four ears, and a large bronze lid, which has been changed so that it almost touches the top of the dome.
There are countless small bronzes around, all of which are densely packed nearby, as if they are guarding this strange tripod.
Throughout the cave, there was a faint aroma of herbs, a gentle light illuminated everything, and above the huge altar, there was silence and dust.
Quiescence.
Deathly silence.
This moment.
Whether it was well-informed archaeological experts such as the old man Li Yunshan, or a fledgling rookie like Ye Qingyao, they were all dumbfounded when they looked at everything in the distance.
The grand altar, the towering Dan furnace, and the dome almost encrusted with precious stones...
They were all speechless.
This is....
What?
Is this the real place of alchemy recorded in those previous jade inscriptions?
In this cave ....
How could there be such a monument!!
