Chapter 232 The Tomb of the Eternal Emperor!
In order to ensure safety, Zhang Hao was the last to be tied with a rope and entered the tomb from the robbery cave.

And Xiaobai also entered the tomb together with Zhang Hao, along the winding, gradually darkened robbery cave, and then gradually, in the tomb that was slightly bright, but the surrounding yin was obviously aggravated, Zhang Hao's The mood is relatively relaxed, and there is no vigilance.

After all, the people who went down to the tomb first were police officers, as well as the archaeologist. Since there was nothing wrong with them going down, then there was nothing wrong with going down by himself, and he had nothing to worry about.

After arriving in the tomb, a few torches reflected the dark surroundings, and a strong musty smell kept coming in from his nose.

This is the smell in the tomb after thousands of years of no one coming.

This smell is very unpleasant, and it is not easy for ordinary people to accept. The main reason is that the climate here in the Qinling Mountains belongs to the junction of the north and south climates, so the climate will become more and more.

The tombs built here are more or less affected by moisture.

Over time, those tides will naturally enter the tomb along the stone layer, feeding bacteria and consuming oxygen.

And the group of them, now able to go down into the tomb so smoothly, and breathe without any influence, they have to thank those few tomb robbers.

Presumably, those tomb robbers are also a group of experienced tomb robbers. They know that digging more holes into this tomb is firstly for their own escape from the back, and there are multiple passages to choose from, and secondly, it is also to add more holes to the tomb. Oxygen, so that people will not suffer from hypoxia after going down into the tomb.

Although Zhang Hao is not a tomb robber, he knows that if oxygen is lost in a relatively closed place like the tomb, it will be a very terrible thing, and it will also be a frightening thing.

"Professor Liang, according to your observation, where should the place we are now belong to the tomb?"

Seeing that Zhang Hao came down safely, Director Zhao let go of his hanging heart, then turned his head, looked at Liang Shaoke who was on the side, and asked in a slightly serious tone.

Liang Shaoke was holding a torch, with a serious expression on his face, he looked around: "If I'm not mistaken, this should belong to the tomb passage leading to the tomb. Look at the murals here, which are used to record the tomb owner's life. deeds, but if there are such murals, they must be the tombs of emperors and generals, and ordinary people are not worthy of having such murals."

Professor Liang observed very carefully, and even saw every outline of every mural. This was also because the tomb robbers had already entered the tomb through this hole in advance, and he was also afraid that the murals in the tomb would be destroyed. To the destruction of grave robbers.

After all, these murals not only record the deeds of the tomb owner's life, but also symbolize the civilization of that era, the etiquette of that era, and the imprint of those eras.

Many times, during their archaeological period, many historical problems and unknown doubts were solved through an accidental discovery during the archaeological process, and more often, some mysteries were solved through this kind of murals question.

It is conceivable how important these murals are.

However, after searching around, Professor Liang found that these murals were well preserved and had not been damaged by tomb robbers, but had suffered some corrosion due to the passage of time, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

As long as these things are not destroyed, then anything is easy to say.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Liang also directed the two students behind him to start recording the contents of the mural, so as to ensure that the integrity of the mural would be destroyed if it was bumped by others later.

Director Zhao was naturally not in the mood to watch them record these murals, nor did he have any interest in these murals.

"Professor Liang, please record as soon as possible. After the recording is over, we still have to move forward. After all, our main purpose of coming down is to find out the group of tomb robbers. Judging from the current situation, if this tomb passage leads to The tomb passage of the tomb, then I have reason to guess that the group of tomb robbers may have entered the tomb now." Director Zhao analyzed, his eyes also bypassed all the light, and looked at the darkness at the end of the tomb passage.

After Zhang Hao heard this, he couldn't help but look in front of his eyes. There was no light in the dark tomb passage. No one knew how long this tomb passage was, and no one knew exactly where this tomb passage led to. What is it like.

Even, they don't even know if there is any danger in front of this tomb passage, everything is unknown.

After hearing this sentence, Professor Liang came back to his senses and nodded suddenly: "Yes, yes, the most important thing has not been done yet. We need to find out the tomb robbers first, otherwise if those tomb robbers If we wantonly destroy these cultural relics, our losses will be great."

After speaking, he seized the time to let the two students complete the recording as soon as possible, turned around, held the torch, and continued walking along the tomb passage in front of him.

The others didn't mean to lag behind. They kept up with Professor Liang. In the current situation, it is relatively safe for everyone to walk together. Once encountering an ambush by tomb robbers, they can react in time so that nothing bad happens. Good thing.

Immediately afterwards, after Professor Liang led the police officers behind him and continued to walk along the tomb passage in front of him for a certain distance, Professor Liang found that there were more and more murals in the tomb passage in front of him, and the tomb passage under his feet also Then it became a little different.

Because he remembered that in the past, the tomb passage under his feet was paved with square stones, but now the stones under his feet have become rectangular stones, which is obviously something wrong.

"How could this be..." Professor Liang looked at the rectangular stones laid under his feet, the expression on his face gradually became heavy, and surprise flickered in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Director Zhao immediately stepped forward, looked at Professor Liang curiously and asked, "What's the matter, Professor Liang, did you find something wrong?"

Liang Shaoke raised his finger and pointed to the stones on the ground, and then pointed to the murals on both sides of the tomb passage: "Director Zhao, look at the tomb passage at your feet. If I remember correctly, at the beginning, it was paved with square stones. , but now these stones have become rectangular, and there is something wrong with the murals on both sides of the tomb passage, which seem to be irrelevant to the previous deeds."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two students standing behind him kept nodding and echoed.

"Yes, teacher, I also found something wrong with the previous mural."

"That's right, teacher, the stone slab under your feet has indeed changed, it seems... just a distance behind, it has changed."

Liang Shaoke stood where he was, his eyes were fixed on the tomb passage in front of him, and the expression on his face revealed a little puzzlement and deep solemnity.

"Professor Liang, is it possible that during the construction process, there were not enough stones when building this tomb passage, so it became the current rectangular stones? And this mural, is it possible that it is also because we I've been on my way and didn't put all my thoughts on the mural, so I feel that I can't get in touch?" Director Zhao asked with some uncertainty.

Because in his opinion, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be a very important thing. It can even be said that this matter is not as important to him as finding the traces of the tomb robbers. The most urgent task now is to find the gang as soon as possible Tomb robbers, and bring those tomb robbers to justice.

Now Professor Liang is tangled here whether the stones of the tomb passage and the murals on both sides of the tomb passage can be related. Isn't this a waste of time?

Liang Shaoke shook his head and said in a serious tone: "Director Zhao, first of all, let me tell you that this kind of thing would never have happened in ancient times. After all, the status of the owner of the tomb is very high. For this tomb of the Tang Dynasty, I can Let me tell you this, the one buried here is a certain emperor, do you think the emperor's mausoleum can change the stones at will?"

Just this one sentence made Director Zhao's face change suddenly, and his whole expression also became shocked.

He never imagined that Professor Liang was ordered by his superiors to excavate this tomb, which turned out to be the tomb of a certain emperor in the Tang Dynasty.

And this gang of tomb robbers was so bold that they wanted to steal the tomb of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Liang Shaoke looked at his expression and sighed helplessly. Logically speaking, he could not reveal so much information about this tomb, because no one can guarantee whether this information will be spread out. If it is spread out, then There will be a lot of tomb robbers attracted, and it is very likely that some people will have the idea of ​​guarding themselves.

But the current situation is obvious, the development of the matter has far exceeded his imagination, and he has to use this matter to explain to Director Zhao, otherwise, Director Zhao may still think that this is an ordinary person The prince, or the tomb of a certain important minister.

And most importantly, he also wanted to tell Director Zhao through this incident that he must be extremely careful. Anything can happen in this tomb, and, in this tomb, the things that need to be vigilant Also very much.

You know, for an emperor's mausoleum, it can even be said that construction of the mausoleum had already begun when the emperor had just ascended the throne, and from the selection of the construction site to the start of construction, as well as the preparation of various materials in the early stage, it was a one-off process. Very tedious and extremely important link.

The minister in charge of this matter will never be sloppy. He doesn't even know how many stones are needed to build a tomb passage. During the later construction process, such things as temporary replacement of stones will happen.

What's more, the most important point is that the murals on both sides of the tomb passage are used to record the life of the emperor. Assuming that even if the stones in the tomb passage are not that important, the minister and even the emperor don't care about it, then , This is definitely the most unbelievable place, and it is also the place that makes him suspicious the most.

No emperor would make the murals in his tomb incoherent, or his life was not fully recorded.

As emperors, what they are most proud of is the rights in this life and the achievements they have made in this life. These must be recorded completely and completely, but obviously, the murals on this tomb passage is incoherent.

This led to, in the eyes of their descendants, the emperor's life was incomplete and incoherent.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, this tomb passage, no, to be precise, it should be the path they are taking now, and it is very likely that it has quietly changed.

"Director Zhao, if my guess is correct, the tomb passage we are standing on now is probably not the one we were in when we first descended from the tomb." Professor Liang said in a heavy tone. His eyes turned back from time to time, looking at the tomb passage behind him.

After hearing these words, Director Zhao and the five police officers following him all changed their expressions.

Only Zhang Hao and Xiaobai who stood at the end of the line looked calm and did not appear too surprised. However, after Zhang Hao heard what Professor Liang said, his eyes lingered on Professor Liang for a few moments. seconds.

Because it has to be said that the old professor was keen enough to notice something was wrong at the same time as him.

Just now, he also saw that the stones of the tomb passage had changed, and the murals on both sides of the tomb passage seemed to be a bit incoherent. Of course, the main problem was that he felt that the surrounding air, as well as all the breath, had changed. There have been earth-shaking changes.

In the past, the tomb passage was full of musty smell, which means that the tomb passage can be said to be a passage connecting the outside world, and moisture can enter the tomb passage, so there is a musty smell.

But now, standing here, he didn't even notice a musty smell. The surrounding area is so dry that there is no smell at all, as if this is a completely enclosed space that has been sealed for thousands of years. , the feeling that all bacteria, all microorganisms, have all been killed.

It was also because of this that Zhang Hao gradually began to realize that the tomb passage he was in now was likely to be somewhat different from the previous tomb passage, and then he also discovered the problem of the stones under his feet and the murals.

However, he was not in a hurry to tell Director Zhao and Professor Liang about this matter, because in his opinion, he is going to the grave with them now, and he is not the leader of this matter. If he discovers a problem rashly, it must be There must be evidence to support your hypothesis.

Zhang Hao just lacks such evidence, but it is no longer needed, because Professor Liang has already discovered the problem and brought it up in time.

But now, what they need to do is how to figure out why they came to another tomb passage that is completely different from before.
