Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress
Chapter 102 Where is the entrance to the underground palace?
After the innocent explanation, Fatty finally understood.
Usually, the content of the murals in the underground palace is mostly narrative, mainly to promote the glorious deeds of the tomb owner during his life, or to show his noble status, or to talk about his daily life.
No matter what the content is, the theme will never change, which is the identity of the tomb owner.
Many ancient tombs use murals to determine the identity of the tomb owner. This is almost an iron rule in archaeology.
But the murals in front of them are very strange. The content of the paintings is that many soldiers wearing furs are kneeling to worship some weird-looking dragons.
First of all, the images of these dragons are very bizarre. They are different from the images of dragons in the Central Plains. These dragons have hundreds of legs and look like weird giant centipedes!
Concerning this point, Wu Xie’s explanation is that Dongxia is an ethnic minority outside the Pass, and their totems may be different from those in the Central Plains. The hundred-legged dragon may be the unique tribal symbol of the Dongxia people.
This is not a big deal, but the most terrible thing is that there are so many of these hundred-legged dragons!
They are so densely packed that they occupy half of the mural area. At first glance, you can’t tell how many there are!
If you are a patient with trypophobia, you may faint if you take one look at it.
In this regard, Wuxie said it was difficult to understand.
In addition, there is the most important point.
The people in the mural are all soldiers, none of them are of noble status, and all the soldiers are exactly the same in dress and appearance.
So the question is, who is the owner of the tomb?
There is nothing in the mural that can indicate the identity of the tomb owner, which is what people are surprised about.
The fat man thought for a while and said.
"Then the theme of this mural is these weird dragons?"
There are also some murals with themes that worship gods, and dragons are also divine objects. This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Wuxie shook his head and pointed at the mural.
"If dragons are the theme, there are too many of them, more than the soldiers kneeling down below."
Even Ye Chengdu, who is well versed in history, is puzzled.
"This is a burial tomb. The owner of the tomb should be a distinguished prince or noble, at least a general."
"But it's not mentioned at all in this mural, which is really strange."
Chen Pi Asi listened to their discussion for a long time and said.
"The world is so vast and full of wonders. Today we have learned a lot."
"I also want to see what is buried in this weird underground palace!"
Wuxie couldn't help but glance at him. The old man seemed to be doubting whether the owner of this ancient tomb was a human being!
While talking, everyone had reached the end of the passage.
The exit of the apse is right in front of you. There is no door at this exit. There is a bronze lampstand with crane legs in the center. It is dark in color, has a strange shape, and is half a person tall.
Entering the apse, the fat man looked around with a flashlight and found that the layout of the apse was the same as that of the main hall, but much smaller. It was clear at a glance.
The four walls and ceiling of the apse are all covered with murals of hundred-legged dragons.
Soon, the fat man shouted in disappointment.
"Hey, Tianzhen, are you kidding me?"
"There's not even a ghost here. The promised weapon is there!"
Except for three stone platforms, the back hall is empty. There are no hidden weapons, let alone any visible weapons.
These three stone platforms are engraved with coiling dragons and thunder patterns, and are used to park coffins and call them coffin platforms.
The entrance to the underground palace is usually in the apse. During burial, the coffin will be carried here and stopped on the stone platform for rest and sacrifice before being carried into the underground palace.
This coffin platform is just a disposable item and has no value.
This time even Wuxie felt a little surprised.
"The apse is too empty. After all, it is an imperial mausoleum. There will be some sacrificial supplies, but there is nothing?"
The fat man also complained.
"The imperial mausoleum is even cleaner than the tombs of rich people in the countryside. I have never seen such a stingy tomb owner before!"
Pan Zi chuckled and said.
"Stop complaining. At least we have found the entrance to the underground palace. Instead of standing here and complaining, let's go down and take a look."
The fat man then rolled up his sleeves and came behind the stone platform.
There is a huge stone slab on the ground, which is carved with the pattern of a strange human-faced bird in a surrounding shape, with a relief sculpture of Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish in the middle.
This stone slab is the tombstone, and the entrance to the underground palace is usually underneath it.
Fatty has been in many big fights, so he still knows this common sense. When he sees the tombstone, he can basically determine the entrance to the underground palace.
He stretched out his hand.
"Come here and help me, hurry up, don't waste time!"
At this time, the younger brother glanced at Ji Changsheng and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Ji, I always feel that something is not right here. Should we..."
Ji Changsheng, who had not spoken much since entering the Spirit Palace, finally spoke.
"Go ahead, I'm here."
A few words reassured everyone.
As long as Mr. Ji is here, no matter what weirdness there is, there will be no problem!
Chen Pi Asi also waved his hand, and his three apprentices immediately stepped forward to help, including Wu Xie, Fatty and Pan Zi.
Six strong men worked together to lift the tombstone, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and pushed it aside.
But what is surprising is that there is no tunnel entrance under the tombstone. There is only a neat layer of blue bricks, and there is not even a trace of a secret door.
Wuxie was a little dumbfounded.
"How could this happen? Even if you want to play tricks, you wouldn't play in a place like this."
The entire Ling Palace serves the underground palace. If there is no entrance to the underground palace, this Ling Palace has no meaning.
The fat man asked suspiciously: "Will the entrance to the underground palace be hidden somewhere else? Let's go back and search again?"
Ji Changsheng shook his head and pointed to the ground.
"Keep digging."
With his words, the others no longer doubted that the entrance to the underground palace should be hidden under the blue bricks!
Although the young man was puzzled, he still walked over.
He squatted down, stretched out two fingers, and gently picked up a blue brick!
These blue bricks were tightly squeezed together, tightly fitting together, and it was extremely difficult to dig out a piece.
The force on these two fingers was thousands of pounds!
Pan Zi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised.
"Good work!"
After a blue brick was removed, it became loose.
Others waved crowbars and pried out all the remaining blue bricks in a few seconds.
When all the blue bricks were taken out, what appeared in front of people was not the secret door leading to the underground palace, but a black stone!
The fat man cheered.
"This must be the sealing stone. As long as we pry it open, there will be a tunnel underneath!"
At this time, there was a slight bang.
It turned out that when the fat man bent over and exerted force, the belt on his trousers broke.
But strangely, the belt buckle flew to the black stone and was firmly attached to it!
The fat man was stunned, reached out to take it, and took it off with a little force.
"This thing is like a magnet, it is actually magnetic?"
As he said, he pulled out the short knife and tried it again, and it was firmly attached again.
