Because there was no air circulation in the tunnel for a long time, it felt very stuffy, damp and cold.

Chen Yibai and Yan Wanlei were both 1.85 meters tall. In this cave tunnel that was only two meters high, they felt that they were just a little bit away from hitting their heads, so they could only subconsciously half-bend their bodies throughout the whole process.

The archaeological expert followed behind, and several other special service teams followed behind.

After walking about ten meters along the tunnel, the tunnel began to turn left.

"This cave is curved, all those behind should follow closely, and don't fall behind!"

Chen Yibai reminded the back.

At the same time, Chen Yibai took out the Bagua compass again and took a look.

Now the compass has returned to normal. The position where the compass puts the magnetic needle is called "Tianchi", and the south and north in the middle are called "meridian". At this time, the magnetic needle is on the meridian of Tianchi and does not move at all.

This means that only the pool outside is dangerous.

"Mr. Chen, haven't we been walking in a straight line? How come it's curved?"

Wang Haichuan, who was following behind, looked at the front of the flashlight beam and asked in confusion.

"I also feel that we have been walking in a straight line!"

Yan Wanlei beside him also nodded and said.

"The eyes can deceive the brain. This cave is not only curved, but also downhill. We are walking downhill now!"

Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes, looked around the cave corridor, and said with a firm expression: "The technology used to dig this cave is very powerful. Both the curvature and the slope are millimeter deviations. It is difficult for ordinary people to notice this."

"Downhill?"

When everyone heard Chen Yibai say that this was going downhill, they felt even more incredible.

This road is obviously flat, how could it be downhill?

To ordinary people, the road under their feet looks flat to the naked eye, and that's right.

In a dark and claustrophobic space, vision is easily affected, so that the information seen by the eyes is transmitted to the brain, which will be biased.

But Chen Yibai would not, because Chen Yibai had long been accustomed to this dark underground world, just like an ant living in an underground cave, very sensitive to all directions.

"Mr. Chen, was this specially designed when this cave was dug?"

Yan Wanlei looked at Chen Yibai curiously and asked.

"Yes!" Chen Yibai nodded.

"Why is it designed like this?" Yan Wanlei asked curiously again.

Since it is designed like this, there must be a reason. The mystery of this ancient tomb gradually aroused Yan Wanlei's curiosity.

"It's a ghost wall!" Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Speaking of ghost walls, the metaphysical saying is evil spirits, and the scientific saying is motion illusion phenomenon.

In fact, both of the above exist.

The ancients had superb skills in building ancient tombs, and had long discovered the motion illusion phenomenon of "ghost walls" and used it to prevent tomb theft.

In fact, the principle is very simple. The corridor of the tomb is deliberately built very long, and then a slight illusion is used to create an illusion for the tomb robbers, just like being hit by a "ghost wall", so that the tomb robbers keep circling in the corridor, and finally the tomb robbers are trapped in the corridor alive.

As soon as Chen Yibai came in, he found that this artificial cave corridor used the trick of "ghost wall".

So he specially reminded the people behind to keep up with the team. If they get separated in this corridor, they will be finished.

"Mr. Chen, there is a fork in the front!"

This is really what he said. After walking forward for about 20 meters along the corridor, a "Y"-shaped fork appeared in front. The size, width and height of the two caves are exactly the same from the appearance.

"Which way to go?"

Yan Wanlei turned his head and looked at Chen Yibai and asked.

Chen Yibai stopped and looked down at the Bagua compass in his hand again.

In the I Ching Bagua, Kan is the north, which is the Xiu Gate; Li is the south, which is the Jing Gate; Zhen is the east, which is the Shang Gate; Dui is the west, which is the Jing Gate.

Xun is the southeast, which is the Du Gate; Kun is the southwest, which is the Si Gate; Gen is the northeast, which is the Sheng Gate; Qian is the southwest, which is the Kai Gate.

From the perspective of Feng Shui construction pattern, the orientation of the tomb is preferably the 'Nan Jing Gate' and the 'Southeast Du Gate', and the 'Xi Jing Gate' and the 'Southwest Si Gate' are forbidden.

And the two openings on the left and right happen to face the southeast and the southwest in the opposite direction.

The southeast Du Gate must be chosen.

Among the eight gates, Kai, Xiu and Sheng are auspicious, Si, Jing and Shang are inauspicious, and Du Gate and Jing Gate are neutral.

"Go to the right, follow the team and don't go wrong, otherwise you can't go back!"

Chen Yibai shouted loudly to the back again.

"Xiao Hu, watch the team and go to the right! Received!"

Yan Wanlei also shouted at Xiao Hu, who was at the end of the team."Got it, keep an eye on the team and go to the right!"

Xiaohu's reply came from the back immediately.

In fact, the team of more than ten people lined up in two rows in the corridor, and if everyone squeezed together, it would not be too long.

The corridor on the right is also slightly curved and sloped down. The beam of the flashlight can't reach the end at all, and it is unknown how deep it is.

For the Shang and Zhou dynasties that lasted nearly 4,000 years, this is definitely a huge project like a miracle.

No wonder it is said that the Kang Dynasty spent more than 40 years to build the Tomb of King Kang with the efforts of the whole country.

"Mr. Chen, there is something on the stone wall in front!"

Suddenly, Wang Haichuan behind him seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed.

On the way, Wang Haichuan was always staring at this artificial cave corridor, adhering to the professional attitude of archaeology and not missing any details.

In fact, the "thing" Wang Haichuan mentioned was also discovered by Chen Yibai who was walking in the front.

It looked like a niche carved out of the stone wall of the corridor.

I approached carefully and saw clearly that it was indeed a niche carved out of the stone wall, about 30 centimeters long.

In the niche was also placed a strangely shaped tower-shaped bronze vessel, with three legs embedded in the stone trough below the niche, and a triangular lid on top.

"What is this thing?"

A puzzled question came from behind.

The speaker was Wang Haichuan.

This is outrageous. There are things that you, an archaeological expert and professor, don't know.

This thing also involves Chen Yibai's knowledge blind spot.

Chen Yibai has seen many bronze vessels of the Shang Dynasty, but this shape is really the first time he has seen it.

"It should be a sacrificial vessel or a funeral vessel unique to the Kang Dynasty!"

Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes and guessed.

The Kang Dynasty was rarely recorded in history, and it didn't seem to be particularly strange to see an artifact that even archaeological experts and professors and tomb-raiding lieutenants didn't know.

Driven by curiosity, Chen Yibai reached over and carefully opened the triangular cover on the bronze tower.

Woohoo...

When Chen Yibai opened the cover, a strange woohoo sound suddenly came from the depths of the tunnel.

It was as if something was staring at this place from the depths of the tunnel, making a strange and crazy laugh. The listeners instantly felt creepy and their scalps tingled...
