Chapter 196: Water Attack

Everyone stared at the changes in the water layer with serious eyes, slowly and leisurely, and continued to penetrate down a few millimeters and millimeters.

Perhaps it was the sand layer beneath the slate that had finally been sucked up, and when the water surface was still about five millimeters away from the slate, the water surface finally stopped falling.

Although it is possible that this is a thin layer of water adsorbed by the slate, it is more likely that the ice is hanging due to the cold.

However, everyone can only accept such an outcome, and quietly wait for the freezing of the entire tomb floor to be completed.

A few people were left to guard here, while others returned to the camp to continue their rest.

The moonlit night was silent, and when the morning sun rose the next day, the entire camp had already finished breakfast.

The busyness of the past few days, after more than ten hours of rest, has been restored, even if the tomb below needs to fight all night, these elite bodyguards can be fully competent.

Everyone returned to the familiar cave entrance, and the ice on the floor of the burial chamber had frozen white, and some places had cracked to a certain extent due to the volume of ice crystals.

It's business as before, no traps are triggered during the freeze, and it doesn't seem like there are traps that want to be triggered.

Just in case, Bai Ning would not touch this moldy head, and let people focus on the cracked areas after they circled out, and then all of them passed by detouring.

The brand-new crawler robot was placed in the burial chamber and ran around in a circle, without any movement.

In order to make a correct compression test, Bai Ning also asked people to increase the weight on the robot, about a person's weight ran around again, and it was still fine, and there was no sign of cracking on the ice, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Under this premise, as long as you increase the contact area with the ice surface as much as possible during the walking process, even some heavy machines can make it pass well on the ice surface.

The early explorers gradually went down to probe, and even the area where the iron arrows were fired before had been checked, and nothing unusual was found, all of which proved that this water attack was effective.

Bai Ning came to the stone coffin, and it was the first time that this huge coffin was so close, as if he was observing a huge stone platform, and some light reliefs were also suddenly presented in close observation.

Bai Ning was not too surprised by this.

The mausoleum builders must have done this because they did not want the reliefs on the surface of the coffin to be easily discovered.

Similarly, the fact that reliefs on the surface of the coffin can be found indicates that the trap in the burial chamber has been completely overcome.

The tiger's teeth have been completely extracted, and the body of the mausoleum builder is placed in front of the tomb robbers.

If you look closely, there are all kinds of unknown flowers, birds, fish and insects carved around the coffin, and there are some people who seem to be immortals flying on it, and the overall look is like a picture of heavenly bliss.

This is an outward appearance of the person in the coffin wanting to ascend to the heavenly realm after death, but based on the huge symbolism of the murals around it, no one dares to underestimate the hidden meaning that these reliefs may contain.

What's more, they had previously speculated that there might be some traps hidden in this coffin.

The overall interpretation of the relief drawings is more complicated than expected, and Bai Ning can only wait for the results of Professor Huang's interpretation.

While waiting, Bai Ning gradually realized that these reliefs seemed to tell a complete story, but what they told was a little out of reality, more like a fantasy-based vision of ascending immortals.

"What kind of story of ascension to immortal may be hidden in these reliefs?"

Jiang Yingxue had already developed a strong interest in the topic of immortality, and when she saw this meaningful relief, she would definitely have to get to the bottom of it.

Surprised by Jiang Yingxue's question, Bai Ning first glanced at it slightly, and then slowly responded:

All the answers are just waiting for Professor Huang to finish interpreting.

Such a huge coffin is rare in the world, and if there are no hidden mechanisms in it, then it must be other more important secrets.

Considering that this mausoleum has the function of knowledge inheritance, this burial chamber should assume the role of such a knowledge reserve.

You must know that the dignity of the Queen Mother of Ezio, even if the inheritors of later generations really come, it is impossible for them to go to the main tomb here to disturb the undead.

Greed is human nature, and if future generations of inheritors covet the funeral goods of the Queen Mother of the West, some bad phenomena will happen here.

The tomb of the Queen Mother of the West was desecrated, which is clearly not what the mausoleum designers wanted to see. ”

The main burial chamber of the Queen Mother of the West is the core purpose of their trip, and all the core secrets will be unlocked near the coffin of the Queen Mother of the West, and now Bai Ning suddenly threw out this kind of rhetoric, which really surprised Jiang Yingxue.

At this point, will you already be able to get the core inheritance here?

So, what could this thing be so well hidden?

In the face of this almost infinite possibility, Jiang Yingxue was also a little distracted for a while, instinctively ignoring some secrets that might be hidden in these reliefs.

This kind of rhetoric is only an overall judgment of Bai Ning's intentions of the people in the coffin.

This huge tomb is more like a defensive target for the coffin of the Queen Mother of the West to block all attacks, whether it is inheritance or obstruction of tomb robbers, there must be a final result in this tomb.

Therefore, this huge coffin either hides all the heritage of the mausoleum here, or hides some dangerous mechanism that can allow everyone here to be buried together.

Whether it is life or death, whether it is to go or stay, all lies in the specific meaning implied by the coffin relief.

After a long time, Professor Huang suddenly sighed softly, and this familiar gesture immediately attracted the attention of others.

"Why, is there anything surprising about what these reliefs say?"

Jiang Yingxue took the lead in asking questions, mixing the core questions in her heart.

"The accident is not too unexpected, and it is not too complicated, but it is just a little embarrassing."

Professor Huang helped his black-rimmed glasses, and sighed a little bit of joy at these reliefs.

For example, through this mural, Professor Huang saw a major secret that was forgotten and ignored by everyone, but this story is full of uneasy and embarrassing feelings.

"These murals look like stories of the fairy world, but they are actually a story of immortality.

The various rare beasts and flying immortals in this are indeed depictions of the divine realm, but more often they come from a personal illusion.

People who think about it day and dream at night, and see through the shortness of life will give birth to the delusion of wanting to live forever.

The stronger this delusion is, the more prevalent the illusion, and the stronger the obsession with immortality.

The so-called fame and fortune, family affection, in this huge obsession, is just the most despicable thing in the world.

The demons in the heart suddenly arise, and everything outside the body can be completely discarded.

The protagonist in the relief is also in this constant abandonment, and finally has nothing.

Alone, independent, and finally in the midst of thousands of attachments, Yidan suddenly became a pill, and after taking it, everything finally returned to peace.

The corpse that finally returned to the dust, I don't know if it was the remains that died of madness, or the stinky skin after transcending the immortal.

No one knows what the result will be, only that there seems to be one less person in this world.

It seems that there has never been such a person. ”

On the whole, this seems to be a very sad story of seeking eternal life, giving up everything in the world, and finally making a desperate bet, not knowing life or death, but quietly integrating into the mountains and rivers, and the reckless world.

"In ancient times, there were countless people who sought immortality, and there were countless people who were poisoned by taking pills.

There is nothing unusual about such a story.

The only thing that is more puzzling is the person in the coffin, why such a story is carved here.

In addition, we have discussed roughly before, the West Queen Mother clan may be a subspecies of orcs originating from the Fourth Civilization.

Since there are still people who are willing to seek immortality after the natural disasters of the last days, this shows that the technology of seeking immortality should be a taboo in the fourth civilization, but there have been successful cases of research.

In this way, this coffin should contain some content related to immortality.

You know, the current science and technology proves that the number of divisions of human cells is related to gene telomeres, if there is a virus that can continuously repair the telomeres of cells, can it partially achieve the purpose of immortality? ”

Jiang Yingxue gave her own judgment on this story according to her own understanding.

Such an understanding is full of optimism, but more often than not, it expresses an attitude of speculation.

You know, they have already involved the conjecture of repairing telomeres for life extension, and now they are bringing it up again, just to confirm its feasibility.

"I think that this mural should be to persuade future generations not to be obsessed with the topic of immortality, but to maintain an attitude of hard and simple struggle.

You know, the man in the coffin is a person of extraordinary ability, he has seen the strength of ancient civilizations, and he also knows that the knowledge they have is inexorably disappearing.

The existence standing at the pinnacle of knowledge reserve has not been able to figure out immortality, so it will not believe that people who are far inferior to the current future generations can walk through this path of immortality.

After all, if the technological level of the people of later generations can surpass the people in the coffin, there is no need to come here to inherit the ancient relics.

Therefore, this story of seeking immortality but not being able to achieve it, and this ultimately ambiguous ending, is the biggest wake-up call. ”

Bai Ning gives a completely different interpretation of the relief story, in which the possibility of having immortal knowledge in the inheritance is completely denied.

Such a judgment really hit the longing and desire in Jiang Yingxue's heart.

It was a joy to be able to find records related to immortality in this tomb that had been passed down from ancient times, but now it had become a sobering exhortation, which was indeed a little difficult for her to accept.
