Chapter 12 Into the Ancient Tomb
In the gloomy atmosphere of the tomb.

Saw this again.

It's hard not to feel creepy.

Have there really been monsters in the world?

Li Qiang couldn't help asking: "Professor, what do you think of these relief paintings?"

Professor Tang said: "Although it is a rare and precious cultural relic, I have reservations about the authenticity of the content."

The other two professors also nodded.

As a staunch materialist, I still don't really believe in ghosts and gods in the world.

Professor Tang continued: "Whether it is literature or painting, their essence is creation, and no matter what period of creation, creation is easily interfered by the will of the upper class."

"Historical research is a rigorous job."

"That's why there is a saying that no evidence can stand alone."

"These contents are just narratives that the ruling class wants to leave behind, but they are not necessarily the true appearance of history at that time. We need more evidence to restore the historical truth as much as possible."

The words say so.

Luo Zheng, Li Qiang, and Wang Yue were still full of doubts.

If it wasn't for the suppression of a lawless monster that could threaten all interest classes, there is really no reason for the dignitaries at that time to spend such a high price to build a tomb.

"The underground palace has five floors."

"It's just the first floor."

"I hope there will be more evidence and discoveries in the future."

Professor Tang glanced at his watch: "Okay, this tomb is too big, we have to hurry up."

Continue to the grave.

Two 10 minutes later.

Finally reached the second floor.

It was equally badly damaged.

There are black stone statue fragments all over the ground.

However, it is not difficult to tell that before the stone statue was smashed, it was a soldier about two meters tall, strong and sharp, domineering and majestic.

After a rough inspection, Professor Tang came to a conclusion: "There used to be at least a thousand heavenly soldiers and generals here, all of which were carved out of volcanic stones, forming an organized army. Unfortunately, they were all destroyed by violence."

The audience and experts who were watching the live broadcast gasped!
At least a thousand heavenly soldiers and generals guard here!
What a chilling picture that should be!
To carve this army, the manpower and material resources consumed are also a huge astronomical figure!

The second floor is not only guarded by heavenly soldiers and generals, but also a large number of destroyed and activated traps have been discovered.

Professor Wang said with emotion: "Perhaps we should thank Ran Min. Although he destroyed this precious underground army, he also destroyed all kinds of dangerous traps in the stone tomb."

This is true.

This layer is very dangerous.

If not destroyed by violence.

There is a high probability that several people will be trapped or even life-threatening.

Professor Li said: "Judging from the pattern here, the heavenly soldiers and generals should be used to guard the ancient tomb, and these traps are used to target the tomb robbers of later generations."

Still such a pity!

Here are the thoughts of all viewers as well as experts!

So many mighty and domineering heavenly soldiers and generals with different postures are undoubtedly another spectacle comparable to the terracotta warriors... Now there are only a bunch of fragments left, and we can only hope that it can be repaired later!
no stay.

Go to the third floor.

This floor is larger.

The dome is eight meters high, equivalent to two or three floors!
From the ground to the dome, a large number of auspicious clouds and auspicious animals and flying fairies are depicted. The paint is bright in color and the content is compact and rich. The painting style is similar to the murals of Mogao Grottoes, depicting the scene of the Western Paradise.

There is a huge lotus seat right in front of the underground palace, and there are dozens of hundreds of smaller lotus platforms around it, but the lotus platform is empty, with obvious signs of destruction.

"professor!"

"Look here!"

When Li Qiang shined the archaeological lamp on the wall, there was a golden reflection in front of him, and there were niches in the walls covered with murals, each of which enshrined a golden arhat.

"It's gold!"

"These statues."

"They're coated with a layer of gold!"

The six team members scanned the surroundings with lights, and they were all shocked to find that the walls in all directions were densely packed with alcoves, and each alcove was filled with golden Buddha statues.

Professor Tang took a long time to say: "If I guessed correctly, there was a golden statue of Buddha on the largest lotus platform in the middle. The disciples of the Buddha were placed on the left and right sides of the big lotus platform, and dozens of lotus platforms around it were from all sides. Buddha."

Professor Li muttered to himself: "Buddha is in the center, Bodhisattvas are surrounded, countless arhats are scattered in the four directions, and these murals represent the world of bliss... Is this to create a legendary Western Heaven Buddhist world?"

It’s too shocking!

Although the underground palace was severely damaged.

Although the most important golden bodies of Buddha and Bodhisattva are gone.

But just relying on the arhats on the wall and the colorful murals can still make people who walk in here feel as solemn and solemn as walking into a Buddhist kingdom.

Comments on major platforms exploded instantly.

"It's amazing!"

"This is simply a treasure trove of culture!"

"These murals are so beautiful, the scale and quantity are not inferior to the entire Mogao Grottoes!"

"Wow, there are so many golden Buddhas, even if they are gold-plated, tons must be used as the unit of measurement!"

"According to the current price of gold, a ton of gold is worth [-] million yuan. I think the gold used in it is at least worth several billion yuan. It's the rhythm of getting rich!"

"vulgar!"

"Can you do that?"

"This is a priceless treasure!"

"..."

So gorgeous!

So majestic!

How can people not be shocked?

The three professors forcibly suppressed their excitement. They came here not for research, but to find out the basic situation of the ancient tomb, so they could only forcibly put away the impulse of research and began to search for the tomb passage on the fourth floor of the ancient tomb.

Tomb visit can be so smooth.

I really have to thank Ran Min, the king of Wu mourning.

The lower part of the third floor of the ancient tomb is completely sealed, and at least hundreds of tons of stones were used. Even with the equipment and tools of modern society, it is impossible to open it without destroying the tomb without half a month.

700 years ago.

Ran Min used tens of thousands of manpower to pry open the passage.

Therefore, the archaeological team directly entered the next floor without waiting.

further down.

The lower the temperature.

When reaching the fourth floor.

Everyone felt a bone-chilling chill.

Luo Zheng glanced at the thermometer, the temperature here was close to zero, and it was the end of August, even if it was underground, it was impossible to have such a low temperature, this phenomenon could not be explained by science at all.

but.

compared to temperature.

What is even more shocking is what you see before your eyes.

The ground, walls, and dome all showed a strange blood-red color.

This floor is also covered with a large number of stone sculptures. Although most of them have been destroyed, the remaining few, all of them with green faces and fangs and hideous faces, are all terrifying ghosts and demons.

"what!"

Wang Yue only felt his scalp go numb.

Not long ago, it was still a prosperous scene in the Buddhist kingdom.

This moment came to such a gloomy and terrifying place.

The change is too fast, making it difficult for people to adapt. Could it be that they have entered the underworld?

The sculptures and murals on this floor all show various tortures against demons, such as frying pans, pulling out tongues, gouging out hearts, burning, pressing stones, etc., making people feel eerie and tingling.

Professor Wang exclaimed: "This is an eighteen-story hell!"

Professor Li nodded: "Indeed, the punishment shown here corresponds to the eighteen hells of Buddhism."

Eighteen levels of hell? !

Wang Yue was secretly shocked.

No wonder this place is so scary.

This is still in a severely damaged condition.

If the hell scene that will be shaped is presented as it is.

Then the blood, horror, and impact might be ten times stronger!
Professor Tang said: "This is the fourth floor, and the bottom is the last floor. The designer of the stone tomb probably wanted to suppress the demon forever under the [-]th floor of hell, so that he could never turn over!"

The three old professors spent their entire lives in archaeology.

Never seen such a burial pattern.

Even if they are such firm materialists.

When faced with this situation, I also felt a little nervous.

It seems that the truth in this ancient tomb is far from as simple as imagined!
