Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

They walked forward cautiously, and continued walking for about 800 meters, when an earthen gate appeared in front of them.

There was a hole in the earthen door, which Zhou Tian and the others must have knocked open with tools.

Drilling through the hole, a majestic hall appeared in front of everyone!

Wang Jinpeng rubbed his eyes in surprise: "Isn't it right? There is such a large underground palace underground in the capital?"

The archaeological team estimated that they had explored all the ancient tombs and ruins near the capital sooner or later, and there was still such a wide space underground.

No one else answered because they also felt that there was something unusual about this underground palace.

Lin Ran took the torch and approached the main hall.

I saw two huge stone pillars at the entrance of the temple.

On the stone pillar, a dragon is carved.

The dragon stuck its head out. In its open mouth, there was a tray with lamp oil in it and a wick on it.

It’s an everlasting light!

Lin Ran looked at the lamp oil and felt a little surprised. Even though it was not completely sealed, it did not evaporate or solidify.

When he got close, he could smell a faint fragrance, so Lin Ran judged that it was definitely not as simple as water accumulation inside.

But the appearance of the dragon and the fragrant lamp oil made Lin Ran feel that there was something strange here.

After receiving Lin Ran's approval, Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning used the torches in their hands to light two lamps, one on the left and one on the right.

A scene that they didn't expect occurred.

The moment these two lamps were lit, from the palace gate to the inside, on the walls on both sides, the wall lamps were lit one after another, like a conductive circuit.

Finally, all the wall lamps in the palace were lit up, and the originally dark underground world became brightly lit in an instant.

Although Guan Yun followed them to the tomb several times, this was the first time he saw such a magical scene.

The sudden attack frightened him so much that he took two steps back and took out his weapon, fearing that a monster would rush out.

The other people also looked at the palace with bloodless faces as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

It was quiet inside, as if nothing happened.

Liu Jingfeng and Lin Ran were no strangers to this scene. These lamp wicks should be connected behind the wall. As long as one of the lamps is lit, the heat will be transmitted to the other lamps, and the situation of lighting them one after another will occur.

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, everyone, this is actually a very common strange thing called a wick lamp."

In order to encourage others, Lin Ran took the lead in entering the palace.

The design inside can only be described as magnificent, and it is different from the palaces I saw before.

The underground palaces we saw before were basically reduced to a certain proportion and placed underground.

Then, in the palace where the throne used to be, a coffin was placed.

But after walking in, I found that the design here is very complete.

It was as if an entire palace had been moved down, and the size was designed according to the specifications of normal people's lives.

In the entire palace, they should be in the front hall now.

If you compare it carefully, you can still find that it is much smaller than the Forbidden City. It should be scaled down according to a certain proportion, but the height makes Lin Ran feel a little uneasy.

Standing outside, you can see that the bottom of the palace is paved with golden glazed tiles. The splendid feeling mainly comes from the tiles on the roof.

But you can still see the traces of time, because some of the tiles have faded.

The overall structure has not changed much, and you can still see the majestic scene when it was first built.

The pillars in the palace are also made of top-grade beams.

There are few geological disasters near the capital, so the impact is small. Basically all the pillars are in good shape, with no signs of cracking at all.

The wood used should be of the best quality, and there is no insect corrosion.

Corresponding to the front hall is an arch bridge made of wood.

At the end of the bridge are two statues.

But these two statues are not Buddha statues.

When you shine the light of a torch, you feel like an evil ghost from hell, especially under the firelight, your face is red and your expression is extremely ferocious.

This was clearly a statue carved from ruby. It became more blood-red under the irradiation of the flames, making people shudder.

Xu Ning felt goosebumps all over his body after seeing the statue, and did not dare to walk at the back of the team.

Guan Yun patted him on the shoulder, and he was walking in front.

However, although Guan Yun is a materialist, he still feels a little scared when he sees such a lifelike and weird statue.

"Don't look at it." Lin Ran said. This kind of statue should be designed to scare tomb robbers. According to the normal path, they should walk through the arch bridge.

But when they passed through the previous tunnel, they bypassed the side of the palace.

This also confirmed Lin Ran's guess that the tunnel they just walked through was the tunnel dug by Colonel Touch Jin.

It can only be said that not only the technology of ancient tomb construction has deteriorated over the long years, but also the skills of tomb robbing are also lost.

At the current level of tomb robbers, they can only dig an ordinary robbery hole, and it is impossible to dig such a long tunnel.

Those three statues still have certain research value, but now is not the time to do research.

Moving forward along the front hall, behind the palace, a courtyard appears.

There are also some statues placed in the courtyard. The two statues closest to them, one should be a palace maid and the other a little boy.

The carving technique is full of the style of the Tang Dynasty, and it is obviously not human.

But in this case, the painting style of Tang Sancai is even more chilling.

Lin Ran picked up the torch and looked closer to the statues. He found that they looked light brown under the firelight, and it seemed that he could see behind them through their bodies.

Is it carved from amber?

Lin Ran couldn't remember if there was any amber carving technology in the Tang Dynasty. There were many statues here and they looked like ordinary palace courtyards.

After the death of the emperor, he would bring his previous life with him. They had seen this kind of structure before, and it was even more terrifying at the time. It was made by directly hollowing out the structure and pouring mercury into it to keep it incorruptible for thousands of years. Now it is just an amber carving.

Although it was a statue, Lin Ran still felt a little strange.

Because a normal statue should allow the tomb owner to experience his previous life.

The expressions of these statues look extremely frightened, as if they have seen something terrible, and the shapes of the sculptures also seem to be running away.

This was absolutely abnormal in Lin Ran's opinion, because just looking at these statues gave him a weird feeling.
