I dig ancient tombs for the country

Chapter 157: The Tomb Within the Tomb

There was a loud bang, and a big hole was smashed into the wall of the main hall. I felt the energy and blood in my body tumbling, my throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly.Immediately afterwards, I felt the ground tremble and the whole wall collapsed. I vaguely saw the red hair screaming and rushing towards me.

The moment the wall collapsed, a dark hole suddenly appeared on the ground. Before I could think about it, I rolled into the hole. The hole was very deep. I felt like I had been falling for a long time before I suddenly landed. My eyes were about to turn black. When I passed out, a person fell from above and hit me right on top of me. With the sound of "buzzing" in my ears, I passed out.

"Brother Tao, wake up!" I vaguely heard someone crying in my ears, so I managed to open my eyes, and saw the red hair hugging me and weeping bitterly.

"Red hair, don't cry, I'm fine." I took a deep breath, and after saying this, I felt a heart-piercing pain all over my body, I'm afraid I really hurt my vitality this time.

"It's fine, I'm so scared, I'm so afraid that you'll just leave me." Hongmao burst into tears, looking at me pitifully.

"Fool, why would I leave you alone? We were husband and wife more than 1000 years ago!" The red hair was amused with one sentence, and he scratched my nose with a smile: "Good lady, don't make fun of me Husband."

"Husband, help me up quickly, what is this place?" I looked around in surprise, the place we are in is a narrow tunnel, and there are lights on the walls?

A lamp was lit in the alcove not far away. The lamp was covered by a delicate cover. The lamp cover seemed to be used to block the wind. Although the light was not very strong, it was enough to play the role of lighting.This is obviously an ancient tomb, which can be built under the tomb of the Uighur Khan, which shows that this tomb has been buried longer than Pang Teqin, so this lamp may have been burning for thousands of years.

The lamp oil of this kind of lamp is generally extracted from the body of the mermaid in the deep sea. Since the air in the ancient tomb is thin and the lamp oil is limited, it is impossible to achieve real longevity. According to my guess, this lamp is usually not used. It does not burn, but after a thief breaks in, it brings fresh air, triggers the ignition point, and gives the conditions for the ever-burning lamp to burn, thus giving the tomb robbers an illusion of ever-brightness.

No matter how you look at this place, there is a sense of mystery. Through the narrow and long tunnel, a magnificent building appeared in front of us.

This is a terminal-style building. There are more than 20 stone statues with hideous faces at the entrance of the tomb. Most of the sculptures on the statues are mythical beasts from ancient times.On the left side of the heavy tomb door stands an epitaph, on which are densely carved with many Kucha inscriptions. I read it several times, and I can probably see a clue. It turns out that this tomb belongs to Bai Chun, the father of Bai Zhen, the king of Kucha. The tomb is the tomb of my grandfather thousands of years ago.

The inscription on the inscription is full of legends about the Kucha Kingdom, and even mentions the mysterious star of bliss.Legend has it that in the early days, the ancestor of Qiuci went hunting in the deep mountains. He came to a high mountain because he was chasing a strange big bird. Among the lingering mountains, below the Pearl is the rippling lake water. The Pearl shines brightly, and the reflected lake water is sparkling and beautiful.

He was immediately fascinated by it, and personally led the soldiers to find the pearl.Because that pearl absorbs the essence of heaven and earth for a long time, it can cure all kinds of strange diseases.Later, they were passed down from generation to generation, and they were always passed on to the person who was the emperor of Kucha.It wasn't until Bai Zhen's generation, because he didn't have a son, that he passed it on to his daughter, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Bai family, and then there was a fight between the two factions for the orb.

Entering the tomb, the first thing we saw was a golden statue, an ancient king riding majestically on a lion, holding a spear in his hand and a bow and arrow on his back.A line of tadpole characters is engraved on the base of the statue: Ancestor Jiang Bin.This may be the golden body shaped by future generations for the ancestors.

Anyway, we still have a little connection with Qiuci, so we respectfully kowtowed a few times in front of the golden body of our ancestors, which can be regarded as the meaning of admiration for our ancestors.

There is a huge mural in the middle of the tomb, which divides the tomb into two parts.In the first part, there are many burial bronze ritual vessels, jade ritual vessels such as jade huang, jade cong, and jade Zhang, as well as various ornaments, coins in circulation at that time, etc.

Parked behind is an exquisite wooden lacquered coffin, the black lacquer and decoration on the lid still smooth and bright after thousands of years.

This coffin must be the habitat of Bai Chun. Unexpectedly, the monarchs of the Kucha generation were not as rich as Pang Teqin, who had not returned to Uighur.

On the walls on both sides of the tomb, there are lighting lamps at intervals. I found that the lamp at the end is a bit different. It is shaped like an eagle about to fly. I feel very strange and can’t help it. After watching it carefully, I found something strange.

The lamp was firmly fixed in the alcove and could not be picked up, and the eagle's head was shining on the opposite wall. I was also curious for a moment, so I went forward and held the lamp and turned it to the right. With a sound, the opposite wall The walls of the room slid to the sides automatically, revealing a secret room.

Before the two of us went in, we saw a white light shooting out from inside, which scared us to take a few steps back quickly. After waiting for a while without any movement, we walked into the secret room cautiously.

The secret room is full of gold, silver and jewelry, jade and agate, as well as a lot of porcelain, pottery, and iron.The back of the secret room is also full of weapon racks, and there are all kinds of weapons on them, such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, bows, arrows and feathers.

Just now I said that the burial of the ancestor Jiangbin was not as rich as that of Pang Teqin. Unexpectedly, there is a secret room hidden here. The gold, silver and jewelry here are more than three times that of the tomb of Pang Teqin, which shows how powerful the Kucha Kingdom was back then.

"Heh, I never imagined that your ancestors were so greedy for wealth and mortals. They enjoyed all the glory and wealth when they were alive, and they would bring so many yellow and white items to the underworld to enjoy themselves after death." Hongmao looked at those dazzling jewels with a look of disdain A glance of demeanor.

"Hey! Those people in ancient times paid great attention to the affairs of the afterlife, especially those emperors, and there is nothing they can do about it."

Looking at those knives, guns, swords and halberds, I wondered to myself, it is understandable to bury gold, silver and jewelry. Why are so many weapons buried with them? It is better to use these weapons on the battlefield, which is worth the money. It's not a waste of resources.

"Brother Tao, look quickly, this secret room can directly lead to the outside of the tomb." Hongmao shouted in surprise.

I hurried over to take a look. It turned out that there was a very hidden secret door in the back corner of the secret room. The color of the secret door was exactly the same as that of the tomb wall.There is a raised wooden peg not far from the secret door. I just pressed it casually, and the wooden peg bounced, and the secret door opened automatically.
