Chapter 549 The Real Tomb

underwater?
All stared at the boulder in disbelief, unable to believe it was real.

If the entrance is underwater, isn't it filled with water?Are you going to swim with your breath held?After all, they didn't bring diving equipment!
Lin Xiangyang closed his eyes and felt it, and said, "Is there a cave behind the water curtain?"

Professor Hu stared at Lin Xiangyang with a slightly surprised face, and replied, "If I guess correctly, the entrance to the tomb is behind the water curtain formed by this huge rock."

There is a drop of a few meters at the end of this reservoir, and the water above remains to form a small waterfall.Although not spectacular, it also formed a small water curtain.

If you don't pay attention to it, you won't have any other thoughts about this small water curtain at all, you just feel that the place below is also flooded by water.

Lin Xiangyang said to Chu Lushan, "Go down and have a look?"

Chu Lushan nodded, just take a look.

He's not afraid of water, and he's a pretty good swimmer, but his eyelids are twitching even more.

Could this water be their difficulty?
While muttering in his heart, he walked down, and soon came to the boulder and the water curtain.

Lin Xiangyang took the lead, covering his head with his hands and turning around the water curtain.

The water behind the water curtain was waist deep, but half a meter above their heads, there was a hole with a diameter of more than one meter. Because of the moisture of the water, it looked smooth.

After Chu Lushan came in, he saw the robbery hole above his head, and immediately said a curse: "Damn it, that genius dug the robbery hole here, it's too secretive."

Professor Hu and Gu Donglai also came in. He glanced at the hole above his head and said: "This may not be a robbery hole, it is very likely that it was an entrance and exit of the tomb, and that huge rock is one of the traps that were once set up. It's just that The terrain has changed, and the entrances and organs have been damaged."

Lin Xiangyang and Chu Lushan looked at the entrance of the cave and temporarily believed Professor Hu's statement.

Anyway, they are not professionals, so they don't need to care about the origin of the cave, as long as they can get in.

The distance of half a meter was no difficulty for him and Chu Lushan, and they jumped up easily, but the old man Professor Hu and the weak Gu Donglai were in trouble, and it took a lot of effort to pull them up.

Lao Hei and Da Qiang were still lurking outside and squatting. Lin Xiangyang and others turned on the flashlights, and suddenly found that there were collapsed stairs inside, which were barely walkable.

Gu Donglai said with emotion: "Professor really hit the nail on the head, this is indeed the small exit of the tomb. It's a pity that these stone steps have collapsed to a bad shape, and the road is still difficult to walk."

The steep stone steps are wet, and you may slip and fall if you are not careful, so you must be very careful.

But Professor Hu was not happy at all, and his face was even more gloomy than this morning.

When Lin Xiangyang turned his head, he happened to see his ghostly face under the light, and felt his heart skip a beat for no reason.

"What happened to Professor Hu?" He asked with concern.

Professor Hu said: "This road is often walked by people, so these stone steps that should have been loose can be as stable as they are now."

"In other words, if it's a large tomb, it's likely to have been emptied."

His analysis made Lin Xiangyang's heart beat wildly. If it was really what Professor Hu said, then there would be no point for them to come here except to verify the authenticity of the map.

After going more than 100 meters underground, they finally came to the inside of the tomb.

The inside is very dry, there is no feeling of wetness at the entrance, and the walls built with large bluestones are also very strong, and there is no sign of collapse.

There is a main tomb plus four side rooms, with a total area of ​​more than 100 square meters. This is undoubtedly a large tomb, and it is [-]% not a clothes tomb.

But there is really nothing inside, even the coffin is missing.

Looking at the platform where the coffin was supposed to be stored, Professor Hu punched it and shouted angrily: "These people are so rampant, they didn't even spare the coffin and took it out."

From the main tomb to the side room, there is really nothing except some stone tables, stone platforms and benches that cannot be moved.

No gold, silver, jewellery, calligraphy, painting, clothes, or hair are left.

"Professor, there are written records here."

Gu Donglai's voice attracted everyone, and under the light, the small seal script on the bluestone board appeared in front of everyone.

Professor Hu translated and said: "This is indeed the tomb of a prince in Southern Chu. Judging from the recorded data, the value of the gold, silver and jewelry buried with him can be at least 1000 billion in modern times."

1000 billion!

They were all dumbfounded when they heard this statistic.

Although Lin Xiangyang's industries add up to hundreds of billions, you are in the Southern Chu Kingdom, and you are just a prince below!
A prince has such a high-value funeral object, if you find the biggest treasure of the sheepskin map...

They didn't dare to think about it any further, just thinking about that astronomical number would make one's heart beat wildly.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Professor Hu explained, "I'm talking about the modern value, not the ancient value."

"For example, a piece of porcelain in ancient times might cost one tael of silver, but now the market value at auction is tens of millions."

"Another example is a string of pearl necklaces that used to cost a few taels of silver, but are now worth millions."

"But no matter how you say it, the robbery of this ancient tomb is an immeasurable loss for the country. Those tomb robbers are really hateful."

He said to Gu Donglai: "Clean up these stone slabs, rubbing all the places where there are texts, and take them back for study."

For an archeology professor, any character in the ancient tomb has this indescribable meaning.

Gu Donglai did as he was told, carefully rubbing all the texts he could find.

Lin Xiangyang raised his head to observe boredly, and was suddenly attracted by the murals on the dome.
