Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Marks

I squatted down and tried to identify these strange foreign characters again, but it was also fruitless, the lines were too messy, although I could see that it was the same word as what we saw at the entrance of the square hole just now, but which ones were they? It is composed of two letters and cannot be disassembled. I even doubt whether this is English. The fat man was also very curious: "Are you sure it wasn't left by your third master?" Pan Zi nodded, expressing his absolute affirmation, "The third master is not so fancy. If he wants to leave a mark, he usually just knocks out a hole. It is definitely not left by the third master. I think it is better to be careful. The marks are not necessarily all in use. To lead the way."

I understand what he means, if the sign is not a guide, it may be a warning of danger. However, nothing dangerous happened after I saw the symbol in the underwater tomb, and there are only two corridors, either one or the other. It doesn't make sense. The fat man took the lead, and I followed behind the fat man and walked into the corridor. The inside is very wide, enough to drive two Jiefang trucks side by side. As soon as the fat man entered, he said that this is a mule road, which is the road for mule carts during construction. This is indeed possible, because I have never seen such a wide road. tomb passage.You can still vaguely see the traces of the ruts on the ground, but the strange thing is that the inside of the corridor is very cold, the temperature has dropped by an unknown degree, and there is a cold wind blowing from the inside, which seems to be leading to the outside. We all know that no matter what Ancient tombs are very particular about airtightness, where does the wind come from?

"It's a natural wind," Pan Zi said to me in a low voice, infected by the atmosphere, "our ancestors said it was called ghost panting. This kind of thing often happens in large tombs, but it's not dangerous." "Is there an explanation? How did it come about?" I asked. Pan Zi shook his head, "Most of them have only one theory, no one has studied it, and it's best not to study this matter." I thought it was true. In that era, tomb robbing was all for food and clothing, as long as you knew that it was dangerous or not. How all kinds of strange phenomena happened, I really had no time to take care of them.

The first section of the corridor was fairly flat, but later on, it was discovered that the ground had collapsed and the ground was cracked. Many black stone slabs were lifted from the ground, causing the ground to rise and fall. This is the natural destruction caused by the movement of the earth's crust.On both sides of the corridor, there are reinforced arched beams at intervals, with single dragon and coiled columns carved on them, many of which are cracked. I think that without this reinforcement measure, the corridor would have collapsed long ago. There was no words all the way, the few people walked quietly for seventy or eighty meters, the fat man stopped suddenly, and said in front: "The door?"

We all stopped, flashing the flashlight to the front, only to see a black stone tomb door at the end of the corridor. It is metal, with a sheep carved on the left door, and another unknown thing carved on the right door.When I got closer, I found that the stone door was tightly closed, and the cracks and bolts of the door were sealed with copper paste, but on the left door, a hole the size of a washbasin was blasted into the belly of the sheep. , the cold wind blows from here. "This is not a door." I pushed it: "If you can't open it, it is not a door. It is a sealing stone. It is built with large black stones, and then sealed with copper water and frozen to form a whole to make a door." It looks like what the fat man said is correct, this passage is a mule road, and it was built so wide to make it easier for mules to drag these stones."

The fat man squatted down and looked at the hole in the tomb door: "There are sealing stones in the tomb passage. It seems that this tomb passage should be very important. It can lead to the center of the underground palace. The road is right. The mark seems to be for us. A guide. And the holes have been opened, and they have already entered." As he spoke, he poked his head halfway in, and put his torch in, to see what was going on inside. We asked him how it was, what was in it? He said: "It's still the tomb passage, and there is a sealing stone inside. It seems that Emperor Wannu lacked a sense of security since he was a child."

I said, "Damn it, you have three insurances for the door of your house, and there are at least three pieces of sealing stones, three thousand worlds, do you understand?" The fat man didn't hear what I said, he put the flashlight inside, shrunk and ran into the hole on the door, and reached the opposite side of Fengshi.I heard him stutter and say to himself, "Fuck, it's so cold." Pan Zi handed him the gun in, followed him to climb in, I followed behind, Shun Zi followed, and they all climbed into the cave. Sure enough, the back was still the tomb passage, the temperature was lower than the other side, and people immediately felt dizzy all over. tight feeling.There is still a sealing stone in front of it, but this one is relatively simple, without external cornices.A hole was also blasted in the sealing stone, which was bigger than the one just now.

We didn't stop, and continued to climb over. The back was still the same, the tomb path continued, and there was another sealing stone in front of it, with a hole in it. "Damn it, it's not over yet." The fat man muttered. I said: "This is normal. The general sealing stones weigh seven or eight tons, and the longer tomb passages will have six or seven heavy sealing stones. These are considered good, and the thickness may be only half. Our ancestors did not have explosives. For this kind of There is nothing we can do about the ancient tombs that are sealed off by stones.”

While talking, we passed through the last sealing stone, and there was a crossroads in front of us, and another tomb passage perpendicular to the passage we were in passed through us, and this intersecting tomb passage was wider than the passage we were in. Half as wide and much taller. We walked to the center of the intersection one after another, and found that this tomb passage was not the black one just now, but a piece of red, with a large number of bright scrolls of murals on it, almost connected as one, covering all the way to the place where the flashlight could not reach, even the tomb passage. The top is also full of colorful murals.

I sighed in admiration, "This must be the main tomb passage, the straight passage leading directly to the coffin hall, the central axis of the entire underground palace, otherwise it wouldn't be decorated so gorgeously." "Don't be emotional, we are thieves, or it's an old problem, where are we going?" The fat man asked, "Look for it, is there any sign to guide the way?" After passing through the narrow tunnel several times, we have already lost our sense of direction. To distinguish the main tomb passage, which end leads to the center of the underground palace, and which end leads to the main tomb door, we only need the reminder from the predecessors. Just toss a coin to guess.

Our flashlights slid around in the tomb, looking for that kind of symbol. The red murals emitted a very unsafe light. The murals here are what we saw in the crevices of the hot springs before entering the mountain. That kind of style, which is full of fairy chariots and ladies flying in the clouds, does not seem to have any special meaning. Of course, if you ask archaeologists, you can still tell some famous stories, but in our opinion, murals without narrative nature are just Purely decorative, we don't understand the symbolism. After searching for a while, Pan Zi on the side suddenly said "hmm" and called us over. We leaned over and found another symbol, carved on the corner of the tomb passage on one side. "It's fucking easy, I've met the real Comrade Lei Feng in the fighting world." The fat man said. "Let's just go along." At this moment, I shook my head, because I saw that this symbol was different from the ones we saw before.
