Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 157 The Stone Gate Under the Mine
  After listening to Bai Jing's words, Professor Chen and Professor Hao also felt that Bai Jing was right. Instead of lingering here, it would be better to go down and take a look.

Immediately, he ordered Sa Di Peng and Chu Jian to start setting up equipment.

Everyone moved very quickly, and within a short time, the rope was ready.

Bai Jing tied the rope and was already standing by the well, ready to go down at any time.

But at this time, An Liman suddenly ran over. Seeing everyone's movements, he immediately stopped him and said, "Are you tomb robbers?"

Professor Chen burst into tears when he heard An Liman's words. Professor Chen and Professor Hao immediately took turns explaining to An Liman the difference between archeology and tomb robbing.

After explanation, An Liman also understood that tomb robbing mainly involves destruction, while archeology is mainly for research and protection.

After listening to the two explanations, An Liman seemed to understand, but he was worried and still stood by the well and watched, fearing that Bai Jing and the others might rob the tomb.

When the fat man knew that Bai Jing was about to go down the well, he secretly took a small tips bag and called Bai Jing aside and said: "Old Bai, don't you have that hair mound seal? I didn't give it to you if you touched the golden talisman. Pretend, there are black donkey hooves inside, just in case."

When Bai Jing heard this, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Then he saw Bai Jing took out a work permit from his pocket and said, "Fat man, do you know what this is?"

The fat man looked at the archaeological work certificate written on the certificate in Bai Jing's hand and read out word by word: "Archaeological work certificate?"

Bai Jing smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, this is the archaeological work certificate. As the saying goes, in ancient times, there were seals on hair mounds, talismans for touching gold, skills for moving mountains, and armor for unloading mountains. The most powerful thing now is this. , this is called archaeological evidence!"

After saying that, Bai Jing put the archaeological work permit back into his pocket, then patted the fat man on the shoulder and said: "Fat man, it's okay, this is nothing. I can come and go from Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum freely, let alone this small Western Region. Where are the tombs of Xiaoguo? Don’t worry!”

The fat man said that he understood, but still warned: "Old Bai, I know you are powerful, but you should pay attention to your safety when you go down, and don't show off."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing looked at the bag containing the black donkey's hooves in the fat man's hand, took it and put it in his pocket and said, "Thank you!"

The fat man also laughed when he saw this.

After a while, Bai Jing walked to the well, glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Comrades, I'll go back as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Bai Jing was slowly lowered into the well.

As the rope was slowly lowered, Bai Jing gradually saw the situation underground.

Even without using a flashlight, Bai Jing could see clearly underground with just his night vision.

Then Bai Jing signaled to continue putting the rope on top, and then Bai Jing used the inertia to swing himself to the shore. Looking at the stone gate wrapped in animal skins in front of him, Bai Jing knew that this was the so-called 'Prince Gumo's Tomb'.

After confirming, Bai Jing did not open the tomb door immediately, but asked the people above to pull him up.

After he was pulled up, Bai Jing saw the expectant looks of everyone around him.

To be honest, this well house is not very big. With so many people gathered around here, the air can no longer circulate.

Bai Jing immediately said: "Let's go out first. The air is not circulating here." Only then did everyone react and hurried out.

After a while, everyone gathered around the tent area, wanting to hear what Bai Jing saw.

When Bai Jing saw that everyone was here, he immediately said: "There is indeed a huge space under the well. Then when I swung to the shore just now, I saw a stone door, and the stone door was still covered with animal skins. If you don't get out, Surprisingly, that should be the entrance to this ancient tomb."

After listening to Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi hesitated and said: "Although this tomb must embrace water, it is too close to the water. Is it possible that it is just an escape passage or something."

Hearing Hu Bayi's hesitation, Shirley Yang was definitely more unsure, but she felt that Professor Chen might know something, so she asked Professor Chen: "Uncle Chen, have you encountered this before?" Planting a burial?"

Shirley Yang's question is actually Professor Chen's question. Obviously, Professor Chen has never encountered such a tomb. After all, he mainly studies the culture of the ancient Western Regions, and the Ancient Western Regions themselves were short of water, so how could it be possible? There are many such tombs.

For a moment, Professor Chen also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Professor Hao originally wanted to ask Professor Chen for his opinion, but when he saw Professor Chen acting like this, he understood. Professor Chen was not sure about the situation, so he immediately thought about it and said, "Teacher, I think we should do it then." Go down and have a look, even if we don’t excavate it now, it’s still a good idea to have a front line for future research.”

When Professor Chen heard what Professor Hao said, he nodded in agreement and said, "I also agree with Professor Hao's opinion. Let's go in and have a look. If it weren't for Brother An Liman's guidance, we might never have been able to discover it. This place, but since we have discovered it now, why not go down and have a look?”

After hearing what Professor Chen said, everyone else agreed.

Bai Jing saw everyone's reaction and immediately said: "Okay, since everyone agrees with this point of view, let's have a good rest today. Everyone has been working hard along the way. Let's go to bed early today and wait until tomorrow Let’s go in and have a look early in the morning.”

Everyone naturally agreed with Bai Jing's proposal.

There is a big difference between archaeological work certificates and tomb robbers in this aspect. Tomb robbers like to rob tombs at night, while archaeological work certificates only conduct archaeological activities during the day.

Maybe everyone was really tired from traveling these days. After everyone lay down, they all fell asleep soon.

Of course, there is still a vigil.

You don't know what will happen at night in the desert. If there is a sandstorm or a wild beast attacks, there is always someone who can wake everyone up in time.

In this way, time quickly came to the next morning.

After everyone had breakfast, they packed up their supplies and waited for everyone to go into the tomb underground to take a look.

When going down the well, Bai Jing went down first, and then Chu Jian was left to look at the rope, while An Liman stayed to look at the camels.

The last one to come down was Sa Di Peng. Sa Di Peng obviously had no experience in this area and his movements looked clumsy.

When the fat man saw this, he couldn't help but complain: "Slow down, you idiot, what will you do if imperialism comes in?"

After Sa Di Peng came down, all the people who wanted to come down had already come down, and then everyone walked towards the stone gate.
