Episode 33 treasure

Behind the gate is a long and narrow slope downwards. The slope is extremely steep. Miss Guo threw down a cold firework, which rolled for a long time before it reached the end. Where the cold firework stopped, its light was so small that it was difficult to see clearly.

I took a breath. If this was really a tomb passage, it would be too long. There were no corpses nearby. If there was an ambush on this ramp, then those people who had come in before would definitely have left some traces.

Even so, we didn't dare to be careless. One wrong step could break us into pieces. As I walked, I carefully looked at the surrounding environment. Something seemed wrong, but I couldn't remember what was wrong.

Miss Guo said to me: "Have you noticed that there are no traces of mice here?"

I nodded and said: "Exactly, I felt something was wrong just now. When you said this, I realized that the gate here is half open and connected by a stone bridge. There are so many rats in the underground palace. How come there are not even half of them here?" Not even there? ¡­Not only are there no rats, there are no rat droppings or rat hairs on the ground. Could it be that those rats feel that this is a dangerous place due to their animal instincts?¡±

Miss Guo did not answer, but walked down a few steps. Suddenly she turned back and said to me, "Can you tell the truth? Have you ever done any tomb robbing?"

I never expected her to ask this question, and I was at a loss for words. I didn¡¯t know how to answer. Since the people I traveled with this time were all engaged in archaeological work, although archeology and tomb robbing are not very different in a sense, they are not very different. After all, there is an essential difference. It can be said that water and fire are incompatible. This matter of mine is extremely confidential. How did she know about it?

When Miss Guo saw that I was silent, he said: "I was just guessing. I suddenly thought of it and asked you something. I think you know so many long-lost burial scriptures and are no stranger to various ancient tombs. It seems that you have compared You need to know more about your own backyard, it really looks like you are in the tomb robbing business.¡±

I cursed in my heart: "You bitch, it turned out that you were just guessing and you almost gave me a heart attack."

On the surface, I pretended to be calm and said to Miss Guo: "This is a skill inherited from my family. Before the liberation, my grandfather was a famous Feng Shui master from all over the country, specializing in giving advice on ghost houses. My father has been a soldier all his life. I haven¡¯t learned this set of things, and I just have some hobbies. Don¡¯t you know that I just like to study. Comrade Lei Feng¡¯s nail spirit is ultimately just a study..." Afterwards, I changed the subject, Avoid talking to her about things like feng shui and tomb robbing.

We walked for a long time and finally came to the end of the ramp. There was no way to go here. The surrounding space was extremely vast, but there was no path under our feet. Under the ramp was a platform. On the platform stood hundreds of stone statues with giant eyes. On the edge of the platform They are all steep mountain walls. Looking up, you can't see the top of your head, it's all pitch black.

In front of you is a huge underground cavity. You can't tell how big it is. The spotlight that can shine for 20 meters can't shine to the end. Could it be that it has reached the end? However, if you look closely around this platform, it doesn't look like the underground caves depicted in the murals of the Celestial Brick Terracotta Warriors.

Miss Guo said: "Maybe the Queen's coffin is still down there. After she was buried, the Jingjue people destroyed the part connected to it, so that no one could disturb the Queen's peace."

I smiled and said: "That's good, let's go back..." Before I finished speaking, I saw Miss Guo taking out three cold fireworks and throwing them down the platform respectively. She wanted to see how deep it was.

The two of us lay down on the edge of the platform and looked down, and saw Leng Yanhuo falling not far below. It turned out that the drop of the platform was not big, only about thirty meters.

Through the light of the fireworks, I saw a large flat land below, with a hill-like pile of various gold and silver vessels, pearls, gems, and chalcedony. I was shocked and said, "Damn it, it turns out that all these good things are here." Yes, it seems that Queen Sheng Lianjue¡¯s coffin must be down there, but there¡¯s no way to get down there.¡±

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

At this time, Miss Guo found a rope ladder at one end of the platform. The rope ladder was hung on a large stone that grew together with the platform. It hung down from the side of the platform, and both ends were buckled with old-fashioned safety locks.

Miss Guo said: "This may be left by the explorers who have been here before. Although the rope ladder is strong, it is old after all. Let's go back to the stone bridge first to get the rope ladder we brought."

I said: "Of course it is easy to do this, but have you ever thought about why the explorers who have been here before didn't take them away with so many jades and jewelry down here? Those foreigners are not good things. At best, they are explorers; at worst, they are thieves who come to China to steal things. You know, thieves don¡¯t steal things.¡±

Miss Guo said: "I understand what you mean. You are saying that they will never enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed. The reason why these treasures are left intact here is because there are some traps like traps and beasts below."

I said: "Yes, that's what it means. There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. The simpler things seem, the more complicated they are to do. Do you still remember that An Liman said that there is an ancient curse in the Black Desert? No matter who takes the treasures in the Black Desert, he will be buried in the Black Desert forever with these treasures.¡±

Miss Guo said: "This legend is also recorded in the Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. The city buried in the black desert is called Jiluojialai. I don't think this curse is a problem. I understand that Professors and they are all archaeologists and will not take it casually. The person who touches these things is the one I¡¯m most worried about, so you have to keep an eye on him.¡±

I said angrily: "What do you mean by saying that we both look like thieves? I tell you that we are poor people and have great ambitions. I can guarantee it with my head. As long as I say that things here cannot be touched, I will Then I will definitely not take it. You should take care of yourself first. Think about how many good things you, the United States, did you have among the eight countries when they came to China to kill people and set fire to us. Who do you think we are like thieves?"

Miss Guo's face turned pale with anger: "So you look at me like a thief?"

When I thought about how she had saved me, what I just said was indeed a bit excessive, so I had no choice but to endure it and accompany her. The two of them went back along the original road. This time, no one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was frighteningly dull. .

Professor Dong and others were impatient for a long time. Seeing that we finally returned, they quickly asked for details. I fetched a pot of water from the underground river and described the following situation while drinking. Miss Guo added some more.

Professor Shi and his students heard that there was indeed a cave below, and the monkeys were overjoyed when they heard that there were a large number of burial objects below. They could wait no longer and immediately set off to enter the gate of the ancient tomb.

I walked at the end, and when I entered, I touched the thousand-jin gate. If the damn gate fell, no one would be able to get out, but there were so many explosives, so there was no need to worry. Thinking of this, Feeling much more at ease, he lowered his head and walked into the tomb passage.

Everyone was busy preparing the rope ladder on the platform. I guess at this time, it would be useless for me to persuade them. I had to tell the monkey not to take the things below. I don¡¯t believe in any bullshit curses, but I can¡¯t let Miss Guo catch the handle. , we have to bring glory to our countrymen.

The monkey said: "Don't worry, Old Hu. I am a good man and cannot fall into this position. No matter what you have this time, I will take a mouse hair." He thought for a while and added: "Take it if you want." I¡¯ll get it when I get back.¡±

After the rope ladder was put in place, I was still the vanguard and was the first to go down. I saw no signs of mice nearby. At first I thought there might be that kind of strange black snake down there, so the mice didn't dare to come down.

But after I went down, I found that it was deathly quiet. Not to mention rats and poisonous snakes, there were not even a small insect or ant. There were many bronze lampstands nailed to the nearby rock wall, all made into the shape of lamp slaves, with double lamp slaves. He knelt down on his knees and held the precious lamp in his hand. The lamp oil in the lamp had long been burned out. These copper lamps were placed one next to the other. It was impossible to count how many there were. Just take one out and put it on the market. With this craftsmanship, this era, this The provenance, this history, is definitely worth a lot of money.

Standing on top of the piles of treasures, my heart was shaking. I had to hold it back forcibly. It was really impossible without some concentration. The only way was not to look at those good things and try to distract myself. I blew the whistle. Whistle, people waiting for the signal above climbed down from the rope ladder one after another.

Everyone who came down was astonished by the mountains of treasures. There were so many rare treasures that Jingjue collected from various countries in the Western Regions. Even Professor Dao couldn't name these treasures one by one. name, but one thing is for sure, each one is worth a lot of money.

The monkey's eyes widened when he saw it. He had already forgotten the promise he made to me on the platform, and reached out to grab the jade wine pot closest to him.
