Chapter 245: Entering Thousands of Armies by Mistake (05)

Obviously, the explosion had nothing to do with the woodcutter and Lin Feng. They had been searching in the cave before, but they could not find a way out. When the explosion occurred, they thought that Si Xuanyi and the others were in trouble. They originally planned to rush over to help, but instead When they ran into trouble, they were attacked by that kind of giant salamander and were trapped in a puddle for a long time, so they were delayed for a long time. After they escaped, they found that they also lost their sense of direction. They no longer knew which direction the explosion came from. They came, so they can only move forward by feeling. If it weren't for the flares fired by Li Siming before, they might not have rushed over so quickly.

"If you say that, you can be sure that there are other people here." Si Xuanyi frowned tightly. He couldn't figure out who else came to this place. Did the corpses and explosives they fished up from the water's edge be a group of people? ?
The woodcutter snorted: "No one who can come to this kind of place is a good stubble, of course, except you laymen who stumbled in by mistake." There seemed to be a trace of contempt in his words.

"How do you say it?" Li Siming noticed that there was something in his words, so he asked.

"This should be an emperor's mausoleum. Look at the size and array of pottery figurines. This is beyond the reach of ordinary people." The woodcutter said, looking at the pottery figurines not far away.

"Royal tomb? This is the tomb of an emperor?" Si Xuanyi frowned again. He really didn't know how to describe it, but he ran to such a place by accident.

"The old man is right. If it weren't for the emperor's mausoleum, who would be able to put up such a big battle?" Li Siming accepted this statement first, "Only the emperor's army can wear iron armor."

"Wrong, you can see that the style of these armors is quite similar to that of the Qin and Han Dynasties. In that era, iron was considered a precious metal. How could it be so extravagant that it was used to make iron armor? So this should be copper armor, but even copper in that era is still expensive. It is considered a luxury, and it is basically used to make weapons or live directly into copper coins. Few troops are good enough to use this kind of thing as armor, so the owner of this tomb must have a lot of background." The woodcutter dropped the tomb in his hand. Pieces of terracotta figurines, "This place may be more complicated than we expected."

"How heavy would it be if it were bronze armor? How can you fight while wearing it?" Guo Zhongxiao found it inconceivable.

"Heavy cavalry are also full-body armor, don't they also fight?" Zhao Chenggong didn't think it was a big deal.

"It's definitely not all copper armor. You can tell by looking at the pottery fragment. Only the chest and back are covered with armor. The rest is leather armor, which should be something like rhinoceros hide." The woodcutter said. Said, in fact, he didn't know whether the rhinoceros hide was used back then, he just guessed based on experience.

Emperor's tomb, this word is far from their acceptable range. They never thought that they would get into an emperor's tomb by accident. Those people they haven't met are here to rob the tomb?Of course, this is just the woodcutter's guess, and it remains to be confirmed whether this is the case.

However, after hearing that this is an imperial tomb, some people began to make calculations in their hearts. The first thing they thought was that there were countless gold and silver treasures in it. A little worried, after all, getting out alive is the most important thing. It cannot be said that they are not interested in robbing the tomb, but what they are most worried about now is how to get out. They have had enough of this ghost place, and leaving here is their top priority. As for whether someone came to rob the tomb, it has little to do with them. It would be fine if they could take a sheep and get something on the premise of going out. Of course, Si Xuanyi and Li Siming are definitely not included in the people who have this idea, not because they are so rich. Noble, but because they know that one of their responsibilities is to protect cultural relics from being plundered. Similarly, they are also responsible for protecting these cultural relics from being violated and not being stolen. Of course, other people may not have this awareness. After all, now They are still a mess, and many people are still vague about their responsibilities.

Although tomb robbers are despised in this era, no one can control them. The national government is fighting fiercely with the Japanese devils. But whether it can be managed is the biggest problem, so too many similar things have happened, and it has long been commonplace. It is not yet known how much effect a newly established department of theirs can play. In addition, their main target The target of the battle is the cultural plunder and cultural relics plundered by the Japanese army. You can't just ignore these local tomb robbers, but you have to do what you can.

So judging from the gap in the ideology and understanding attitudes of the subordinates and the officials, it can be seen that their team is really bad.

Si Xuanyi and Li Siming are conscientious people, but facing such a team, they can only sigh. After all, the construction of a combat team cannot be completed overnight, not to mention that these people are old fritters, a group of death row prisoners who have committed serious crimes , It's not easy to win them over.

"It stands to reason that these people should be arrested and dealt with, but in this kind of place..." Li Siming shook his head, obviously he also knew that his statement was too wishful thinking, how would they send them out even if they were caught in the deep mountains and old forests? ?What's more, they still have their own work to do, and they still have to go find the little devil, so they can't stay with a few tomb robbers, so the best way to deal with it is to kill them directly, which can be regarded as an on-the-spot rectification. It shouldn't be up to him to say it.

"Tomb robbery is a felony in the constitution. If you can't do it, you'll be caught and killed immediately." Zhao Chenggong said with a grim expression, "Unless they can show us how to get out?" I know that the reason why tomb robbery is a felony is because the two tomb robbers Zhang Dachuan and Zhang Dali were sentenced to death at the beginning, so he judged that the crime of tomb robbery is relatively serious.

"Who do you think the tomb robbers are? So easy to deal with? Maybe they will be slaughtered as soon as they show up. Of course, we also have guys." The woodcutter said calmly, "The situation is unknown now, so we can't draw conclusions too early , but it’s okay to find out from them, after all, we still have nowhere to go, let’s figure things out before we talk about it!”

"Could it be that we really want to find those tomb robbers?" Guo Zhongxiao felt that doing so was a bit too shameful. A group of government officials were trapped in these places and had to rely on tomb robbers to leave. It was too embarrassing to say it.

"If this kind of thing happens, we can't ignore it. Even if we don't catch them, we can't let them destroy this place. Our duty is to prevent little devils from looting our cultural relics, but we can't tolerate grave robbers either." Si Xuanyi sighed. His original intention was to fight against the Japanese and kill the enemy, but he didn't expect to be reduced to this kind of situation of dealing with tomb robbers, which really made him helpless.

"Can you go?" Lin Feng finally spoke, "We can look for their robbery cave first, this may be the most direct way to leave here."

"We have to find them and deal with it, right?" Stan said in a serious manner, with an expression that the law must be dealt with in a business-like manner, but he was actually thinking about what was inside.

In the end, no one paid any attention to him, and several people followed Lin Feng silently. Si Xuanyi asked the woodcutter if he could find out who and which emperor was buried in this place.

In fact, the woodcutter is not very clear about it. He can roughly infer from the Chen She and layout here that it should be an imperial mausoleum, but in terms of style, it is completely different from the Central Plains dynasty, and it should belong to the small country of Western Shu. I am sorry that such a country in the Sichuan and Shu area has such a strong strength to build a mausoleum of this scale. Perhaps this is just a relatively powerful local government, or it is just a little-known grass-headed emperor, but from the tombs here In terms of specifications and standards, it should not be so simple. It may be the tomb of a certain monarch or prince in the Qin and Han Dynasties, or at least a king, but there is too little information for him to make a specific judgment.

Si Xuanyi knows very little about the tombs, but he has some research on history that is easy for ordinary people, thanks to the miscellaneous books he read when he was a child, but it is only limited to the history of the Central Plains Dynasty. As for the Sichuan and Shu regions, what he knows Not too many, he only knows about the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the rest of the grass-headed emperors and short-term regimes are as numerous as a cow's hair. The one who knows the most is Zhang Xianzhong and Tuchuan in the late Ming Dynasty, but this incident seems to have something to do with this It doesn't matter too much.

The woodcutter saw that he was a little knowledgeable and hardworking, so he told him more about it. As for what kind of thing was buried here, he might have to go into the mausoleum to find out.

Lin Feng led them to grope in the dark. After walking for about 40 minutes, there were traces of artificial buildings in front of them. On the ground was a row of wide bluestone roads. , with a width of three to forty meters. There is a wide stone bridge on the ditch. There is a pavilion in front of the stone bridge. The appearance is very rough, and the color has long been muddy, as if it has been washed in heavy rain, it is a blurry mess.

Seeing this woodcutter, he became confused: "This kind of architectural structure was only created after the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. It is a bit similar to the ten-mile long pavilion set up in that era. One ten-mile pavilion was used to calculate the distance for passers-by... But the building method seems to be different from the There is a certain difference between the Ten Mile Pavilion.”

"There can't be ten miles inside, maybe it's just a stone pavilion at the head of a bridge." Lin Feng said, "This kind of thing has more meaning than practical use. In the tomb, the designers hope to make it closer to reality. Maybe it's just some Some allusions."

Si Xuanyi and the others were confused by what they said about these things, and they couldn't figure out what they meant, so they could only look at it in surprise.

The woodcutter thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on, and finally he just sighed: "This place is full of weirdness."

"Let's go! We haven't seen the real mausoleum yet." Lin Feng walked towards the stone bridge first, but stopped after a few steps, "Everyone, don't move, this place... doesn't seem quite right."
