Ji Changsheng looked at the stele with suspicion.

In the original book, Queen Jingjue's tomb is under the palace of the ancient city, why did she come to this wilderness?

Even if the story line of this world is disrupted, there will not be such a major deviation.

There must be something wrong!

"Xiao Yang, are you reading that right?"

Xue Liyang heard the words, checked it again quickly, and replied with affirmative tone.

"That's right. The content of this inscription is to praise her and publicize her deeds. It is a standard epitaph."

Ji Changsheng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.

"Then dig, everyone be careful."

Hu Bayi also instructed.

"The legend of this exquisite queen is strange and mysterious. Most of her underground palace has vicious traps. Don't be careless."

The two fat men were thinking about those treasures in their hearts, so they picked up their engineering shovels and dug them up fiercely.

This ancient tomb was buried under the yellow sand, which was much softer than the mud, so it was effortless to dig.

In less than half an hour, the tomb door of the underground palace was dug out.

The gate of the tomb is located under the stele, about three meters high. There are ancient inscriptions engraved on the gate, which are written in Han Li, just like the words on the stele.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions were vassal states of the Han Dynasty. The cultural influence of the Han Dynasty was as powerful as its military strength, and it radiated to the entire East Asian region. Other ethnic groups used Chinese characters as a symbol of nobility. It is normal for Han Li to appear in the tombs of nobles.

Xue Liyang wiped away the yellow sand on the tomb door, looked carefully at the inscription, and suddenly showed a strange expression.

"The inscription on the door of this tomb is a bit strange. I have never seen such a situation."

The fat man asked quickly.

"What's written on it? Please translate it."

Xue Liyang looked at the door of the tomb and replied slowly.

"This tomb was built by a prince from the Western Regions. The content of the inscription is actually a passionate love letter to Queen Jingjue."

It turns out that in the unofficial historical records, Queen Jingjue is known as the number one beauty in the Western Regions, her fame spread far and wide, but she never married in her life.

The person who built this ancient tomb is one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions - the prince of the Gumo Kingdom. He did not know where he saw the portrait of the Queen Jingjue. The entourage came to the Jingjue country to propose marriage, but was rejected by the Jingjue queen.

Prince Gu Mo is a bastard who eats weights - he is determined, even if he is rejected, he is not discouraged, and he lives in Jingjue Kingdom with his entourage for decades, and he doesn't even want the throne.

This infatuated prince never married in his life, and waited until his black hair turned white, but he never changed his original intention.

In the last few years of his life, he realized that he would never be able to marry the Jingjue Queen in this life, so he made an incredible move.

He wants to build a luxurious tomb for himself and Queen Jingjue!

Even if they could not be together during their lifetime, burying them together after death can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish of this life.

Prince Gu Mo spent all his wealth and hired many skilled craftsmen to build this luxurious tomb outside Jingjue City.

Before he died, he told Queen Jingjue his final request. The other party might have been moved by his infatuation, so she agreed to him, making a great story through the ages.

After listening to Shirley Yang's narration, everyone was amazed.

It is really rare to think that there are such infatuated people in the world.

After Wu Xie was stunned for a while, she asked suspiciously.

"But Queen Jingjue has never seen an outsider in her life, so how did she become the number one beauty in the Western Regions?"

"Where did the prince get the portrait of the queen?"

Shirley Yang shrugged.

"I'm not sure about this. The ancient legends thousands of years ago have been passed down to this day. There must be a lot of rumors and misinformation. God knows what's going on."

The fat man waved his hand and said.

"The story of an old maid and an old maid has nothing to do with us."

"If you really want to find out, quickly dig the underground palace, go in and have a look and you'll know."

After hearing this story, Ji Changsheng was also full of curiosity about this ancient tomb.

"dig!"

As soon as he gave an order, everyone immediately took action.

In less than 5 minutes, the tomb door was opened.

Behind the door is a deep tomb passage. In terms of scale, it is not as small as those princely tombs in the Central Plains, but it is not small.

Ji Changsheng walked in first, followed by others.

The tomb passage was not long, and after walking tens of meters, they came to an ear room.

This is the side hall used to display the funerary objects. There are several wooden shelves that have already decayed, and there are some tattered weapons and armor on the shelves.

After looking it over, I didn't find anything of value.

The crowd continued to walk in, and after walking another dozen meters, they came to a circular tomb.

The tomb covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, with exquisite murals painted on the walls, and a half-meter-high stone platform in the middle.

There are two white marble coffins on the stone platform, judging from the shape and size, they should belong to the owner of the tomb.

In addition to these, there are some unusual things in this tomb.

Around the coffin, there are more than a dozen stone statues as tall as half a person.

A closer look reveals that these statues are very strange, with surprisingly large heads that are completely disproportionate, with a pair of huge eyeballs protruding from the eye sockets on top of their foreheads.

After looking at it, the fat man said.

"The aesthetics of the ancients is too weird. These big-headed statues don't look like normal people, are they exaggerated artistic techniques?"

After Wu Xie stepped forward to take a closer look, she immediately shook her head and said.

"No, except for the large head and eyeballs, the other parts are very realistic, not like artistic exaggeration."

The fat man couldn't help being taken aback, pointing to the statue and asking.

"Then you mean that there really were such big-headed people in ancient times?"

After thinking for a while, Wuxie replied with a puzzled look.

"It may be a natural deformity, but deformed people were discriminated against in ancient times, and even lost their qualifications as human beings. Their status is even lower than that of slaves."

"According to the logic, this kind of deformed person cannot appear in the main tomb. It's really strange... Could it be that the customs of the Western Regions are different from those of the Central Plains?"

Wang Kaixuan got impatient for a long time, and said immediately.

"Why do you study these things? It's serious to open the coffin and make a fortune."

"Come on, Lao Hu, give me a hand!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the coffin lid and pushed it vigorously.

Hu Bayi and Fatty immediately stepped forward to help, and with the joint efforts of the three, they easily pushed open the coffin lid which weighed several thousand kilograms.

Fatty and Wang Kaixuan hurriedly surrounded her, wanting to see what the Queen Jingjue looked like.

Chapter 644

After the white marble coffin lid was lifted, the fat man looked inside, and there was another layer inside.

The outer and outer coffins are the tomb shapes specially designed for nobles. The outer coffin is called the outer coffin, and the inner coffin is the coffin.

The more layers there are in the coffin, the more noble the tomb owner's identity is. The emperor-level coffin has up to nine layers, which is similar to a Russian nesting doll.

The owner of this ancient tomb, although one is a prince and the other is a queen, but because the two countries of Gumo and Jingjue are too small, at best they are equivalent to a local rich man in the Central Plains, so their tombs are far from the standard The tombs of princes in the Central Plains are high.

Inside the white marble coffin, there is only one layer of wooden coffins.

The climate in the desert is dry, and the wooden coffin is sealed inside the stone coffin, so it is well preserved without any trace of decay.

The fat man couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and said.

"This coffin is as good as ever, and the corpse inside must not have rotted. We can see the true face of the Jingjue Queen!"

The ancient legend cast a veil of mystery on the Queen Jingjue. Everyone was aroused and came to the coffin together.

Wang Kaixuan and Fatty grabbed the lid of the coffin and lifted it with all their might.

The coffin lid opened in response, and a strange fragrance rushed out.

Ji Changsheng sniffed and said.

"This is medicinal material used to preserve corpses, not poisonous gas."

Everyone hurriedly looked inside, only to see a man in a fine attire lying in the coffin, it should be Prince Gu Mo.

As Fatty had expected, the corpse was well preserved, it looked as if it was asleep, not at all like an ancient corpse thousands of years old.

The male corpse was about sixty years old, which was considered a long life in ancient times when the average age was less than 40 years old.

The corpse was dressed in rich costumes, covered with jewels and glistening.

The fat man swallowed his saliva, and couldn't wait to reach in to grab the baby.

With the help of Wang Kaixuan, the two quickly stripped off the jewelry from the corpse, and turned the corpse over for inspection.

The bottom of the coffin is covered with a layer of medicinal materials, and after thousands of years, it is still fragrant.

There are three layers under the medicinal materials, namely a layer of animal fur, a layer of copper coins, and a layer of charcoal.

The charcoal is used to absorb moisture and keep the inside of the coffin dry.

When the fat man saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"If it's a prince's tomb, it's full of gold and silver jewels, at least one layer of gold ingots and one layer of silver ingots."

"This prince can be regarded as a rich man at best, it's really poor."

After Wang Kaixuan thought about it, he said.

"He doesn't even want the throne. He has stayed in Jingjue Kingdom all his life, sitting and eating, and spent all his treasures."
