ancient burial

"At eight o'clock tonight, there will be a meteor swarm across our sky. The scale of this meteor swarm is unimaginable, and it is rare to see it in ten thousand years!" A beautiful female voice on the TV is broadcasting the news. It is seven o'clock in the evening.

Qin He lightly sipped the tea in his cup, lying comfortably on the sofa, looking at the gorgeous sunset outside the window.

In summer, the daytime is relatively long, and the sunset glow coats this bustling city with a red-gold luster, giving it a nostalgic taste.

Not knowing how many times he could see such a scene again, Qin He secretly sighed.

beep. .beep. .beep. .

The mobile phone on the table rang, Qin He glanced at the screen of the mobile phone, it was Lin Xiaoxiao who grew up with him, a beautiful girl like an elf.

"Is there a meteor shower tonight, let's watch it together?" Lin Xiaoxiao's melodious voice floated out as soon as he pressed the answer button.

The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and now they live in the same city, so they often keep in touch.

Qin He was stunned for a while: "It's still...forget it...I'm not free tonight."

After a few simple perfunctory sentences, Qin He rejected Lin Xiaoxiao's invitation and hung up the phone.

Qin He actually knew that both he and Lin Xiaoxiao were in love with each other, but. . .

Qin He is only 30 years old. He is 22 years old this year. In another eight years, he will eventually die of a strange disease inherited from his family.

Lin Xiaoxiao is a good girl, he doesn't want to give her pain.

"It's rare to see once in ten thousand years!" Qin He sighed and looked at the sky outside the window.

The night in the sky has already fallen, and the lights in the city are gradually lit up, reflecting the stars in the sky.

Suddenly, a brilliant meteor cut through the night, like a bright blade, passing the dark sky over Qin He.

"Didn't it say it's only eight o'clock?" Qin He glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was only seven thirty at the moment.

As the first meteor passed by, like a charge horn, countless meteors scrambled past, hanging a layer of beautiful silver clothes on the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The steel-reinforced floor vibrated a few times inexplicably, shaking all the tea on the table out of the cup, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows trembled visibly.

"Earthquake?" Qin He frowned in confusion: "Will there be an earthquake here?"

Feeling again, there was no more shock, Qin He shook his head, and turned to look at the sky. Unfortunately, the meteor shower had passed at this time, and the sky once again returned to calm.

"No matter how beautiful it is, it's an instant." He sighed inexplicably, but suddenly laughed out loud. He didn't know what happened tonight. A person who was quite optimistic at first became sentimental, maybe it was It was affected by Lin Xiaoxiao's phone call.

Qin He shook his head mockingly, turned and went back to the bedroom.

The next day, just before dawn, a pleasant ringtone disturbed Qin He's dream.

"Who is it!" Qin He closed his eyes and answered the phone.

"Qin He, get up quickly, get up quickly and come to my place!" The voice of an old man rang out on the phone. This old man was his father's friend during his lifetime and the famous domestic archaeologist Lin Hua. He left the campus and started his own business. Now he has a small fortune, but he has always been very interested in archaeology.

Hearing Lin Hua's anxious voice, Qin He was also awakened, no longer sleepy: "Uncle Lin, what's the matter?"

"You'll know when you come, hurry up!" Lin Hua hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Qin He washed his face hastily, wondering in his heart, could it be that he rejected Lin Xiaoxiao's invitation last night, and old man Lin came to Xingshi to question his guilt?Qin He wondered secretly.

He drove to Lin's house, but saw Lin Hua was already waiting outside the door with a small suitcase.

"Let's go, let's go to the western suburbs." Just as Qin He stopped the car, Lin Hua couldn't wait to open the door and get in.

"Uncle Lin, what happened?" Qin He started the car and drove to the western suburbs.

"Did you feel the shock last night?" Lin Hua pushed the glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and without waiting for Qin He's answer, he continued, "The meteor shower last night all hit there."

Qin He was taken aback, but he was even more puzzled: "Where did the meteorite hit? What's the matter with archaeology?"

"The meteorite swarm cracked the surface." Lin Hua swallowed his saliva, his expression a little excited: "A corner of a super large tomb is exposed."

"Super tomb?" Qin He glanced at Lin Hua in surprise.

"I haven't seen the exact size yet, and I just got the news, hey...you drive faster!" Lin Hua blushed slightly, urging Qin He.

The western suburbs are less than [-] kilometers away from the city, and it took about ten minutes to drive there.

I saw several small craters appearing in front of the two of them.The scene has been sealed off. In a large crater, a piece of copper bricks of unknown age was built, and a copper wall was built. The meteor smashed the surface of the ground and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Great work!" Lin Hua exclaimed, using copper bricks to cast the wall, I really don't know what kind of person this tomb owner is.

At this moment, there are already many people at the scene. Geologists, astronomers, and archaeologists are surveying near the crater. This western suburb was originally deserted, but now it is full of people.

Lin Hua had a lot of connections, and after talking to the person in charge at the scene, he led Qin He into the crater.

"Looking at it this way, this bronze wall is just the tip of the iceberg of this tomb. I really don't know what kind of person can afford to live in such a tomb." Lin Hua put on his gloves, touched the copper wall and said with emotion.

"Could it be an emperor's tomb?" Qin He carefully removed a copper brick that was about to fall, and a dark hole suddenly appeared on the copper wall.

Lin Hua came over and pulled Qin He back. After a while, the copper wall did not move.

Lin Hua shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "This kind of big tomb has not seen the sun for a long time. According to my opinion, it is not less than 2000 years old. There will probably be a mechanism. Now, let it dissipate the dead air." That's fine." Lin Hua put on a white mask and carefully tore off a few copper bricks to let the air inside diffuse for a while.

After waiting for a long time, at this time, many archaeological groups have been allowed to enter, and many reporters from the crater also rushed to hear the news, and the scene was extremely lively.

Lin Hua lit the lighter and probed into the cave. The spark flickered slightly, but it did not go out.

"Do you dare to go in and have a look?" Lin Hua said to Qin He with a smile. Lin Hua is notoriously daring. I don't know if the tomb will collapse, but he dared to risk himself. A wonderful flower.

"Why don't you dare?" Qin He shrugged like Lin Hua, and stepped into the dark cave.

Lin Hua flashlighted, and also got in.

Under the light of the flashlight, you can clearly see the dust floating in the air, and there is a bronze staircase leading directly to the ground under your feet.

"Be careful." Lin Hua nodded towards Qin He, picked up the ladder and descended.

It is not known when this large tomb was built. The bronze steps are slightly damp, and the slight sound of ticking water can occasionally be heard in the passage, but the surface of the bronze steps is extremely smooth and has no rust.

The two walked down cautiously, like walking on thin ice. Fortunately, there seemed to be no mechanism in the tomb. The two walked for nearly half an hour before they finished walking the bronze stairs.

"The ones under the feet are also made of bronze." The flashlight can't shine too far, only the dust particles in the air can be seen clearly. Except for the bronze stairs behind, the front is all black, which seems to extend infinitely into an unknown space.

"I always think it's a bit weird." Lin Hua walked forward slowly with the flashlight on, almost every step he took, he had to look around with the flashlight on: "Tell me, logically speaking, this tomb should have existed for at least a thousand years. It’s been a long time, but this copper, why hasn’t it rusted?”

Qin He shook his head, but did not answer. The two of them were still walking in this purposeless black space. There was so much copper here that the compass was useless, so the two could only keep moving forward.

Suddenly, Lin Hua let out a strange cry, and subconsciously took two steps back. Qin He looked forward, but saw a hideous statue standing in front of him.

Lin Hua patted himself on the chest, even if he was bold, his face was bloodless from fright at the moment: "It scared me to death, I thought it was something."

Qin He carefully looked at the statue with a human face and a beast body in front of him. This statue was extremely fierce. It had a human face, but it had a huge mouth with a bloody mouth. The ferocious fangs seemed to be indestructible. Standing there, facing The sky roared.

"This is 梼杌, one of the four evils in mythology." Qin He touched the statue. Although the statue is a bit hideous, it is extremely beautiful. I don't know how people in ancient times made it like this Wonderful works of art.

The two rested for a while in front of the statue, and continued to walk forward.

After walking for less than 5 minutes, another statue with a huge mouth appeared in front of it. I saw this alien beast with tiger teeth and human claws, eyes growing under its armpits, and half of a human body was biting in its mouth.

"Glutton!" Lin Hua was not intimidated this time, instead, he walked up to the gluttony bronze sculpture and commented carefully.

Next, the two saw several ancient mythical beasts one after another. All of these mythical beasts were lifelike, wonderful, or roaring towards the sky, or stretching their teeth and claws, or flying through the clouds, as if they were about to come alive. .

"I'm getting more and more curious. What kind of person is the owner of the tomb to have such a grandeur?" Lin Hua clicked his tongue again and again, sighing secretly.

Suddenly, a jade arch bridge appeared in front of it, fresh and crisp jade green, and a green arch bridge was erected from the copper bricks.

The main tomb must be ahead!

"This kind of fine jade is probably rare in the whole world, and I don't know where the owner of the tomb got such a peerless treasure. If you ask me, just cut off a piece of it, it's worth a lot!" Lin Hua stroked the precious jade at his feet , looking excited.

"All these precious jades are cast into arch bridges. Let's look forward, maybe there will be even more surprising ones in the future!" Qin He stepped onto the jade bridge cautiously and walked forward.

Not long after, a huge altar appeared in front of the two of them!

"This is?" Lin Hua was no longer surprised, even though in front of him was a golden altar with a height of five meters!

An altar made of gold!

"We... we... look up." Lin Hua couldn't even speak fluently, the two looked up at the altar, and one could imagine what kind of commotion it would be if this tomb was born.

The two slowly climbed up to the altar. On the steps of the altar made of gold, there were runes like ghost symbols all over the place, making it difficult to tell the age.

Although Qin He couldn't understand these runes, he could feel the heavy historical precipitation and a trace of inexplicable charm from the lines. Perhaps, this is the place where the emperor sacrificed to heaven?Or, is this the fairy land where the fairies landed in ancient times?Various speculations flashed across Qin He's mind.

"The tower... look quickly... it's a tower!" Lin Hua poked Qin He's arm, staring at the giant tower in front of him in a daze.

The twelve-cornered giant tower made of gold, as if descended from the sky, stood in front of the two of them. They both looked up at the same time, but the sky was covered by darkness, so it was impossible to know how tall the tower was, but it was certain What's more, at least not less than 100 meters high!

Simple, majestic, luxurious, and heavy, Qin He almost thought of the words that can describe this giant tower at the moment, but found that these words are not enough to describe one-tenth of the giant golden tower!

"Tiantian Pagoda!" The two suddenly shouted in unison. On the top of the pagoda, there was a jade plaque hanging horizontally. On it were three ancient characters. Although they couldn't understand these three ancient characters, they called out the three words "Tongtian Pagoda" at the same time. It seemed that this was the name of the tower.

"Go up... go up... take a look?" Lin Hua's hands and feet trembled with excitement, and he couldn't even speak coherently!

Qin He nodded and approached the tower.

However, the next moment, the two of them were disappointed, Tongtian Tower had no portal, it seemed that it was just a golden tower made of gold for viewing, and they could not enter the tower body.

"Climbing the tower... climbing the tower..." Suddenly, a faint old voice entered Qin He's ears.

Qin He subconsciously stopped and looked at the golden pagoda.

"Lin Bo, did you hear anything?" Qin He scratched his head, the sound just now seemed to be far away in the sky and close in front of his eyes, like a dream or a dream, but there was no abnormal sound when he listened carefully.

"What?" Lin Hua kept stroking the golden pagoda with his hands, and was amazed. He didn't even turn his head when he heard Qin He's question.

"It's nothing." Qin He looked around suspiciously: "I'm hallucinating."

But after a while, Qin He heard that strange voice again. This time, he was sure that it was definitely not a hallucination.

"Lin Bo, did you hear that?" Qin He felt his face go numb, as if someone was calling him.

"It's nothing? Are you hallucinating again?" Lin Hua turned his head this time, but saw Qin He's face turning pale.

"Bang." Suddenly, the altar under the two people's feet trembled violently, and a golden light rushed out of the golden pagoda that had not yet had a door just now, breaking through the body of the golden pagoda, opening a dark hole.

"Climbing the tower... climbing the tower..." The old hoarse voice kept ringing in Qin He's ears.

"I want to climb the tower...I want to climb the tower." At this moment, Qin He's eyes were empty and his spirit was a little dazed.

But Lin Hua was so scared that his face was bloodless. Although he is notoriously bold, he is still extremely superstitious. At this moment, there is such a strange movement in the golden pagoda. Holding Qin He's hand, he hurriedly ran back without looking back.

Running all the way, he saw those bronze sculptures of strange beasts again. At this moment, Lin Hua felt that these bronze sculptures seemed to eat people, so he detoured and ran away when he saw them.

Under the pressure of fear, Lin Hua stimulated his potential, he only knew how to hold Qin He's hand and run forward. Fortunately, he was lucky to be on Lin Hua's side, and he finally saw the bronze stairs again!

Not daring to stop, Lin Hua took two steps at a time and hurried up the stairs. He had just walked up the stairs for half an hour, and it took him less than 5 minutes to get there.

Seeing the light ahead, Lin Hua let out a heavy sigh of relief, pulled Qin He out of the cave with all his might!

"Huh!" Lin Hua ran out of the cave, sat down on the ground, and gasped deeply. At this moment, many people in the crater were looking at Lin Hua inexplicably.

"Dad!" Lin Xiaoxiao also majored in archeology, so it's not surprising that he appeared here.

Seeing her father sitting on the ground with a bloodless face, Lin Xiaoxiao was secretly angry, and ran over to reprimand her, but was attracted by the thing Lin Hua was holding: "Dad, you grabbed the What is it?"

Lin Hua raised his head and glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, still panting, "You know...you know what's inside?...Say...tell it...you don't believe it...the bronze sculpture...the golden altar. The Tongtian Tower... Huh... It's so dangerous... It's so weird inside!"

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know if she had listened, and asked, "Where is Qin He? Isn't he with you?"

"No." Lin Hua shook his right hand, and said with a strange smile: "The little guy is young...physical strength...physical strength... not as good as my old man... speechless?"

Lin Hua glanced back, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and the pores of his body seemed to have exploded. The old face that had recovered a little color was frightened and pale again!

I saw Lin Hua holding a golden hand in his hand, he just now. .He remembers it well. . .It was clearly Qin He's hand that was grasping, how could it turn into a golden hand, Lin Hua didn't dare to think about it anymore, a wave of fear spread in his heart.

"Qin...Qin...Qin He...still...still...inside..." Lin Hua's Adam's apple kept shaking, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and a piece of the ground suddenly collapsed. Several cracks in the ground spread rapidly. The crowd was stunned for a while, and then they fled one after another. The scene was in chaos!
