Chapter 522 Begging for mercy again?
The sound of rushing water resonated inside the closed tomb chamber... The splashes of water stirred up the black silt that had been deposited at the bottom of the pond for thousands of years, emitting a damp fishy smell.
The archaeological team stood on high ground on both sides of the river bank.
His eyes were fixed on the pond where the water level was constantly dropping!
Maybe the breach created by the explosives was too big?
Or perhaps the downstream was too dry... In any case, the flow only lasted five or six minutes! The water level dropped to the bottom of the pond at a visible speed, and two tomb doors covered with blue-gray moss came into view.
The tomb door is carved from a whole piece of marble!
The left door of the tomb is engraved with a blue dragon flying in the clouds, and the right door of the tomb is engraved with a white tiger roaring in the mountains. Above the tomb door is an imitation wooden hip roof, with ridge beasts, tiles and water droplets carved on it.
Wouldn't anyone who saw it say it was impressive?
In front of the two tomb doors is a stone staircase about 10 meters high that leads down step by step!
See this scene.
Hu Jizhou couldn't help but exclaimed in delight, "This tomb door with its carved dragons and painted tigers is only for those of imperial rank! This is probably the passage to the main tomb chamber, and inside is definitely the underground palace of the main tomb chamber!"
Book lovers who often rob tombs know that the underground palace is not far from the main tomb chamber, so Hu Jizhou was excited after seeing the magnificent tomb gate and tomb door.
This means they will soon reach the main tomb chamber!
Hear this.
Everyone in the archaeological team was also delighted!
After walking in this narrow, closed and dark tomb for a few days... everyone longed for the open view and sunshine outside, and wished they could grow wings and fly out.
"Cuckoo-"
There was originally half a person's height of water at the bottom of the pond that could not flow down.
But I don’t know why!
A gurgling sound came from the bottom of the pond.
The water flowed down through the cracks in the bluestone slabs below... Although the ground was still very slippery, at least it didn't wet the shoes and pants of the archaeological team.
"Let's go!"
Qin An took the lead and walked down the stone steps in the pond.
As soon as the toes touched the ground!
I felt a chill running up the soles of my shoes to the soles of my feet... This pond has been nurtured for two or three thousand years, and I'm afraid it must have turned into a cold pool long ago.
He turned around and reminded the archaeological team to be careful about the cold and slippery surface.
Qin An took a big step and leaped forward!
He jumped directly from the top of the stone stairs to the tomb door.
"Snapped--"
Without waiting for the archaeological team behind him to slowly walk down, Qin An drew out the black gold ancient knife and inserted it into the tomb door on the left. Then he held the handle with his right hand and pressed the back of the knife with his left hand.
After a while.
The black gold ancient knife actually dug a fist-sized hole in the stone gate... With this hole as a fulcrum, coupled with the 8800 points of strength in Qin An's body.
The heavy stone door opened with a creaking sound.
They were forcibly pulled apart by Qin An!
Behind the tomb gate is a courtyard layout with three entrances and three halls, similar to the shape of the Chinese character "丰", which is mainly divided into the front underground palace, the middle underground palace and the back underground palace.
As soon as the stone door was opened!
A breath that was even colder and more biting than the previous wind blew in my face, this breath carried a hint of sandalwood and a faint trace of bronze rust.
Qin An frowned slightly when he heard this.
at this time.
The archaeological team finally walked behind Qin An.
Because the road is a bit slippery!
So their movement speed is a little slow.
Seeing Qin An standing in front of the tomb door and not turning back to say anything to them, Yang Lele went forward and peeked inside.
But I didn't see any of the scenes inside.
He was choked by the icy breath and took a step back.
She covered her nose and frowned, "Why is the spice smell so strong? And there's also the smell of agarwood!"
Qin An took off the head-mounted flashlight and held it in his hand, saying, "The spices are used for anti-corrosion and insect repellent, and the agarwood is used to absorb moisture in the tomb.
Logically speaking... this underground palace should be a complete vacuum, but a cold wind blew out, suggesting there are other entrances and exits at the back of the underground palace."
Say it!
Qin An raised his foot and walked into the underground palace.
Seeing this, the archaeological team members hurriedly followed!
Because there is no light inside the underground palace.
Therefore, the archaeological team members were particularly cautious... Gu Yang and Hawkeye walked on both sides of the group, raising their guns and aiming at the edge of the wall from time to time, as if they had anticipated the position where the enemy would appear.
Hu Jizhou smiled and said:
"Old Gu Eagle Eye! We need to be cautious, but we don't have to be that cautious, right? This is just the underground palace outside the main tomb of King Chu Xing... There's no way it could have any deadly traps or large beasts! Otherwise, would he still want the underground palace?"
Although Gu Yang and Hawkeye felt that it was better to be safe than sorry.
But after aiming for most of the day, there was no movement at all... Therefore, I didn't concentrate so highly, otherwise it would consume too much mental energy!
After passing through one hall after another.
Murals and kneeling skeletons began to appear on both sides. These skeletons were dressed in plain Warring States robes. They looked like widows guarding the tomb of King Xing of Chu, or like dancers for the appreciation of civil and military officials.
"What does it mean?"
Hawkeye looked at the bones and murals on both sides with confusion.
Even Qin An was a little confused!
We are almost at the main tomb chamber, why are there still these filthy things?
What exactly was King Xing of Chu thinking?
Seeing that Qin An also had a confused look on his face.
The archaeological team turned their attention to Jiang Liuli again. Jiang Liuli took a deep breath and walked towards the mural on the left. He stared at the mural and the words on it for a while.
Her expression was somewhat grim as she said, "King Chu Xing is begging for mercy."
beg for mercy?
Hu Jizhou's mouth twitched as he asked, "What about these skeletons? Could they have been dancers in King Chuxing's palace? Did King Chuxing place these dancers here as a gift to tomb robbers in exchange for them not entering his main tomb?"
Jiang Liuli also found it a little unbelievable:
"That's exactly what King Chu Xing meant!"
Hear this.
The netizens in the live broadcast room almost dropped their jaws in shock.
"Huh? No... man! You're a king after all! Why are you so cowardly and capricious? You started begging for mercy when the archaeological team first entered your tomb, didn't you?!"
[Yes!] He even placed all the gold, silver, and jewelry at the entrance to the tomb, hoping the tomb robbers would take them and leave.]
【If the money trick doesn't work, then you're going to resort to the beauty trick, right?】
[Um... the problem is, you might have been a real beauty in your lifetime! But now you're nothing more than a skeleton. Who would react to seeing you?]
【Weibo.......】
Are you new to Weibo? I'm on TikTok.
[The two above are incredible, how can you even react to this? You're so hungry, why don't you ask Brother Oatmeal to get you some treats?]
[Brother Oatmeal: Who? Who called me? Oh right...are there any friends out there who can't sleep late at night and are lonely? Feel free to add me on WeChat~ I've found something interesting in my Moments! If you still can't sleep after watching it, you can make friends in your city...]
