Chapter 14 Epitaph

The dark tomb.

The gloomy tomb.

The archaeological team moved on.

"We are about to explore the fifth floor of the stone tomb!"

"I think the truth is getting closer and closer to us!"

Wang Yue walked at the end of the line, her heart was beating, and she was relieving stress and tension by interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"It is very cold in here."

"The temperature reached minus ten degrees!"

"Why such low temperatures are generated is unknown."

"Although I have made preparations for the cold in advance, I can't stay for a long time in such an environment."

"The fifth floor of the underground palace is expected to be even bigger."

"We have to race against time."

"..."

Live popularity.

It has risen to [-] million.

At least tens of millions of viewers at home and abroad hold their breath in front of the screen.

"Come on, Yueyue!"

"Be sure to pay attention to safety!"

"I'm afraid to watch the live broadcast on my mobile phone."

"The archaeologists are really brave!"

"Yeah, this is much more exciting than watching a horror movie!"

The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is fear of the unknown!

Under the rendering and foreshadowing of the first four layers, people feel nervous and looking forward to the next reveal.

at last.

The team arrived at the fifth floor of the underground palace.

The first thing that appeared was a quiet corridor, with statues of gods standing side by side on both sides. Judging from the style, they should be the gods of ancient Tianzhu.

Professor Wang turned on the headlights and carefully observed one of them.

I saw that his whole body was in the form of bones, his eyes were red and swollen, his brows were furious, his face was ferocious, he was dressed in elephant skin, wearing a skull ring, holding a short knife, noose, and scepter, which was strange and terrifying.

"This is Chamento, an ancient belief in the Diye Mountain area in the middle of ancient Tianzhu. It is the legendary goddess in charge of darkness and death."

"The statues in this tunnel should all be ancient gods from Tianzhu or Nanyang."

"Each one symbolizes death, destruction, darkness."

"..."

No time to study them all.

Under the gaze of the strange idol.

Everyone walked directly through the dark and deep corridor.

at last.

The first burial chamber appeared.

This tomb is not too big.

But it's half the size of a basketball court.

Many utensils appeared in the tomb, such as bronze tripods, clay pots, wine jars, weapon racks, and a large number of bamboo slips and books.

The most striking thing is the very center.

There is a stone tablet nearly three meters high.

This large tomb is full of weird and mysterious elements from the first floor to the fourth floor, but the fifth floor looks more like a normal tomb layout.

Everyone saw this scene.

I was a little dazed for a while.

Professor Tang said: "This fifth floor has traces of being remodeled, and the layout of the tomb appeared later,"

Two other professors agreed.

"This is no small project."

"There is a high probability that Ran Min did it."

"While destroying the stone tomb, he rebuilt it at the same time. Why?"

Li Qiang excitedly reminded: "Professor, look quickly, there are ancient books preserved!"

The archaeologists were not very interested in other things in the tomb.

When seeing dozens of hundreds of volumes of bamboo slips stacked together, everyone's face showed excitement and surprise.

The temperature of the fifth floor of the underground palace is so low that these ancient books have been well preserved. Compared with all kinds of expensive gold, silver, jewelry, cultural relics and antiques, these documents are truly priceless treasures!
"There are inscriptions on the stele!"

"Look at what's written on it first!"

The most eye-catching thing in the tomb is undoubtedly the stone tablet standing in the center.

When the archaeologists illuminated it with archaeological lights, the ancient and clear regular script inscriptions appeared in front of them.

The translation of the first paragraph roughly means:

[My mentor, Ran Yu, was born in the ninth year of Yuankang and died in the third year of Taining. He was only 26 years old. 】

【…】

[Sad my mentor, invincible through the ages! 】

[Foot breaks calamity, fist breaks chaos! 】

[Expel the barbarians, and care about the common people! 】

[Defend China, never regret it! 】

[Man and God are angry together, mountains and rivers are in sorrow together! 】

【Inscribe his meritorious deeds to tell his descendants! 】

[The heroic soul is manifested, shining forever! 】

[Although his body dies, it will last forever! 】

Archaeologists are experienced.

After reading this first paragraph.

Who wouldn't know what this stele is?
"epitaph!"

"It's the epitaph!"

"This ancient tomb actually has an epitaph?"

The breathing of the three old professors became rapid.

From the inscription on the altar to the four-story underground palace, although the identity of the owner of the tomb was repeatedly mentioned, the name has always been kept secret.

Don't even think about it.

The purpose of building the Fengmo Tomb is to seal the owner of the tomb.

The name of the owner of the tomb is absolutely ominous to the contemporary rulers!
This name cannot even be mentioned, and any historical documents are not allowed to appear. It must be completely annihilated in the long river of history. How can there be an epitaph for it?
This epitaph.

It is definitely not the post Zhao Suoli.

And the above paragraph is just a preface.

The whole inscription is very long, almost three thousand words.

Professor Tang skipped over the content, and took a look at the final signature, and it was—[The unworthy descendant Ran Min was established in Yongxing for three years! 】

"Ran Min!"

"As expected!"

"It was established by Ran Min!"

When several people discussed excitedly.

The epitaph has been broadcast live by Wang Yue.

Appeared in the live broadcast room and was seen by all viewers.

This time.

lead to uproar.

"The owner of the tomb is called Ran Yu!"

"Sounds like a serious name!"

"There is no record of this name in history."

"Could it be that the demon in the inscriptions on the altar and the relief paintings is him?"

"Ran Yu is also surnamed Ran, and is called a mentor by Ran Min. What is the relationship between the two of them?"

"The epitaph is from the third year of Yongxing. I just searched on Dimension Encyclopedia. The third year of Yongxing is AD 352, which happens to be the year of the death of King Wu Mourning!"

"Yes, Ran Min was besieged on all sides at that time, and he was completely cornered."

"Even under such circumstances, he still used a lot of manpower to rebuild the tomb, and left such an epitaph? This shows that Wu Mourning Heavenly King has a deep affection for this Ran Yu!"

"I suddenly felt that the inscriptions on the altar may not be true!"

"Yes!"

"There must be something hidden here!"

"..."

"Hurry up!"

"I want to see the rest of the epitaph!"

"Is there anyone who is too big to help translate it!"

"Although I know most of these characters, I don't understand classical Chinese!"

"..."

It is now certain.

The fifth floor of Fengmo Tomb was rebuilt by Ran Min.

This epitaph only appeared in the ancient tomb later.

This is likely to contain the truth about the tomb and the owner of the tomb.

Several professors hurriedly checked the content of the epitaph carefully. After translating the classical Chinese into vernacular, most of the front part introduced Ran Yu's life story. The content is roughly as follows:
