Professor Wang nodded heavily, and he reluctantly believed it.
……
Along the stone bridge, the archaeological team crossed the Mercury River and came to the stone gate on the opposite bank.
Without wasting any time, the bodyguard pried open the stone door under Professor Wang's signal.
The stone gate opens.
Everyone poked their heads out and looked forward.
Right in front of it is a wide semi-circular tomb, about the size of a football field. On both sides of the tomb, there are two unicorn stone sculptures, which look mighty and domineering.
In the center is a raised stone platform about five meters high, occupying at least half of the area of the circular tomb.
On both sides of the stone platform are layers of stone steps leading to the top of the stone platform.
"We've arrived at the tomb so soon... This hidden Qilin tomb doesn't look very large."
"I don't know if there will be other clues, we should be careful."
Several professors looked at each other and discussed.
The weird things they encountered in Zhao Tuo's tomb were more than they encountered in their entire lives, and they couldn't help but be cautious.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes... The two unicorn stone sculptures next to them were carefully examined for a long time before they dared to confirm that they were just ordinary stone sculptures, not like the evil unicorns, which had the possibility of resurrection.
"Look at the professor here!"
Members of the archaeological team walked into the tomb and carefully explored the surroundings, and someone suddenly made a discovery.
"There is a layer of very fine footprints here, someone should have been here."
The man pointed down, and there was indeed a shallow layer of footprints on the ground.
Footprints again? !
Swish swish!
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Ping'an.
Looking at the footprints, Chen Pingan raised his head helplessly, and said seriously:
"Don't just look at me when you encounter this kind of situation. If you carefully observe these footprints, they are obviously not mine!"
Hearing this, everyone carefully observed the footprints, only to find that they were indeed not left by Chen Pingan.
The size of the footprints is at least a size 45, and Chen Pingan's size 42 is obviously not suitable.
"Sigh~"
"So... has anyone else been to this ancient Qilin tomb?!"
Professor Wang and the others suddenly realized this big problem.
"Is it possible that it was Zhao Tuo? Didn't he never die?" someone asked.
Chen Pingan shook his head and said affirmatively:
"It can't be it!"
"It turned into an evil unicorn, relying on the Four Gods' Longevity Formation to continue its life. It needs to be in a deep sleep for a thousand years. It will never dare to wake up easily, let alone the ability to re-form into a human form!"
At this time, Chen Ping'an was also staring at the footprints on the ground.
The footprints are extremely faint, covered by a thick layer of dust, only some outlines can be vaguely seen.
This shows that these footprints have existed for a long time, at least a hundred years ago.
"Has anyone else been to the Qilin tomb? Why don't I remember this one?"
Squinting his eyes, Chen Pingan thought in his heart.
half an hour.
A group of people observed the footprints for a long time, but they couldn't see why, so they had to give up in the end.
Focus again on the stone platform in front of you.
"Although it looks like a stone platform, it is actually a sarcophagus!"
Chen Ping took the lead on the stone steps, climbed up step by step, and at the same time opened his mouth to introduce to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Walking to the top of the stone steps, you can clearly see the scene above the stone platform.
There is a deep crack all around the stone platform, which looks like a huge stone box as a whole. Various exquisite unicorn patterns are carved on the coffin lid, some are in the shape of roaring, some are in the shape of clouds, and some are looking up. Xiang Tianlei.
Such exquisite carvings are enough to show the designer's emphasis on this cemetery.
"It really is a sarcophagus." Professor Wang also walked up the stone steps, narrowed his eyes, and continued:
"It's really amazing. It's the first time I've seen such a big coffin after decades of archaeology."
"What is this burying?"
Professor Wang made an inquiry, and suddenly realized something, and said suddenly:
"Bury the unicorn..."
"Yes, it must be to bury the Qilin!"
"Only a unicorn can have such a big body, and be able to match such a big coffin!"
He widened his eyes and turned to look at Chen Pingan:
"Xiao Chen, what you said is right. This is probably the ancient tomb where Qilin was buried. I can't find any explanation for such a huge coffin except for Qilin."
Chen Pingan nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Fanaticism flashed across the faces of the other members of the archaeological team. Many people went to the tomb for archaeological research several times and had seen various coffins, but this was the first time they had seen the coffins where animals were buried.
What's more, this beast is the legendary auspicious beast unicorn!
"Professor, let's open the coffin." Someone asked impatiently.
Professor Wang glanced at Chen Pingan, wanting to hear Chen Pingan's opinion.
"I have no objection." Chen Pingan nodded absently.
He was still thinking about the string of footprints just now...
He knows better than anyone that there... there shouldn't be footprints in it!
Slowly retreating from the stone steps, Chen Pingan watched a dozen bodyguards prepare to open the coffin.
The sarcophagus is half the size of a football field, the lid is huge and heavy, and it is extremely difficult to open the coffin.
But the road is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high.
Several bodyguards took out various instruments and devices, and pieced together a simple sling and lever.
With the help of these, several people worked together to actually lift the lid of the sarcophagus to open a gap the size of three or five people.
"Go in and see?"
Chen Ping smiled and asked the people behind him. The members of the archaeological team were also very excited, and they nodded expectantly.
"Puff-"
Chen Pingan came to the sarcophagus again, jumped in from the gap in the sarcophagus, and stood firmly inside the sarcophagus.
The air in the coffin was extremely dull, and the environment inside was even more silent and dark.
Chen Pingan picked up the flashlight and shone around, looking around himself.
He is also full of expectations for the legendary auspicious unicorn...
……
Chapter 72 Magical effect!Kylin dried up
The sarcophagus is half the size of a football field. Entering it is like entering an underground stone palace, which is extremely open.
but……
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows slightly.
The inside of the sarcophagus was empty, except for the dull air, there was nothing else.
"empty?"
Professor Wang and others also jumped into the sarcophagus one after another. Looking at the empty sarcophagus, they couldn't help asking questions.
"There is nothing in the coffin, no unicorn corpse."
The anticipation and excitement of everyone in the archaeological team fell silent in an instant.
Professor Wang frowned and analyzed:
"There is no unicorn corpse...but it is clearly a sarcophagus. There is no explanation for such a huge coffin other than the burial of the unicorn beast."
"But why don't you see Qilin's bones?"
The previous few experiences made him clear that most of what Chen Pingan said could not be false.
the other side.
Chen Ping lowered his forehead and carefully looked at the ground in the coffin.
He is a little puzzled now.
In "Tomb Raiders Diary", the bones of the auspicious unicorn are placed in this sarcophagus, which is regarded as a small bonus level after clearing the level in the game.
But now, the coffin is empty, and the unicorn's corpse has disappeared...
"Since this coffin has appeared, it means that the Qilin corpse should really exist, why did it disappear?
The image of 45 yards of footprints flashed across Chen Pingan's mind...
Raising his head, Chen Pingan said:
"Keep looking forward, there is a lot of space here, maybe there will be other discoveries."
Professor Wang nodded, his eyes fixed on the stone wall inside the coffin.
There are many miraculous unicorn patterns carved on the stone wall, which are exquisite. This sarcophagus alone is already a treasure of art and history.
