Chapter 425 Sky Burial?Life and death along the way!
Stepping on the balancing steps, they finally reached the third floor as they wished.
The space on this floor is wider than the second floor, and you can even walk side by side.
Of course, the biggest difference is the surrounding decoration.
The walls are covered with lamp holders made of crystal, which seem to be eternal lamps used to insert torches for lighting.
This is very similar to the style of the Tang Dynasty!
"Are these crystals valuable?" Wang Jinpeng wanted to take a piece off and have a look, but Lin Ran stopped him.
"Don't rush to pick it off yet. What belongs to us is mine after all. I'm not sure yet whether there is any agency."
Generally speaking, the lamp holders in mausoleums exist for a certain purpose.
I won’t put it here innocently!
"Actually, I heard a rumor when I traveled to Tibet last time." Huang Hao looked at the crystal lamp holder in front of him and suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, rat, why didn't you tell us about such an important thing in advance?" Wang Jinpeng curled his lips.
They need to be fully prepared before going to the grave, and local rumors are indispensable clues.
Huang Hao smiled and said: "With Brother Lin's living dictionary here, what local rumors are needed?"
Lin Ran knew he was joking and said modestly: "Actually, I just read a lot of books, and I don't know more about it than you guys. For example, Brother Huang is good at finding dragons and asking acupoints. I can't tell this level from the books."
"Brother Lin, please stop being modest." Huang Hao said this on the surface, but he was naturally very happy in his heart. He did not waste time and said: "It is rumored that there is an ancient city buried on a snow mountain."
"It was a prosperous city. People in the city wore gold and silver, and there were herds of cattle and horses."
"I could have lived a life without worries about food and clothing, but because I offended the gods, a snow mountain fell and completely suppressed it at the bottom of the mountain."
"But the ancient city has not been destroyed, it just won't appear in front of people."
When Huang Hao spoke, his expression was so solemn that the people around him felt a chill in their necks.
"Mouse, you're still talking nonsense in a place like this." Wang Jinpeng replied, which sounded like a horror story.
In the mausoleum, it is not suitable to tell such rumors, it is taboo!
Huang Hao immediately became unhappy and said, "Jin Peng, you asked me to say it, but you're not happy when I say it."
"Hey, stop arguing." Liu Jingfeng picked up the flashlight and shined it at the bottom of the tower.
The design of this tower is very clever, although the cliff below can be seen through the partition.
However, it is impossible to see the whole picture clearly.
"Do you think this ancient city is down there?"
As a veteran tomb robber, Liu Jingfeng deeply understands that local rumors, even if they are based on rumors, have traces to follow.
It's just that they are not religious people, and they don't believe that gods will descend on the snowy mountains and bury the ancient city in them.
But there was something about the ancient city below, and they were wavered.
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Anyway, they are moving forward now, and Zhenbao is detecting traps, so their movement speed is relatively slow.
Exchanging information is also a form of recreation.
Lin Ran couldn't help but think of a TV series in which the nine-story demon tower was the prototype. At the bottom of the nine-story demon tower, there was a legendary city.
No wonder the director could come up with a similar plot, it turned out to be local rumors.
He shook his head and smiled: "Looking from the outside, how big is the base of this tower? Ten kilometers? Twenty kilometers?"
It's more of a village than a city because it's so small.
"That's right, but I still think there are a lot of rare treasures down there." Huang Hao smiled. He just regarded this as a rumor and didn't take it seriously.
"Haha, Mouse, you are really talented. You can find out this kind of information." A Ming, who was walking at the end of the team, said that it was his job to build good relations with the locals.
However, he went to the grave in a hurry this time and did not visit the village in advance to establish a good relationship with the villagers. This was actually his dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, he still has the ability to detect the air, otherwise he might be left in the capital by Liu Jingfeng.
"Brother Lin, in your opinion, why was this ancient tomb built in the form of a tower?" Liu Jingfeng ended the boring discussion.
In his career as a Tufuzi, this was the first time he saw a tomb with this kind of structure.
When Lin Ran first saw it, he felt it was magical.
But he still explained: "The burial culture here is very magical, and the more popular one is sky burial. On the funeral platform, torches lit up the pines and cypresses, and a ceremony was about to be held on this empty ground, and then vultures circled in the sky, waiting for people to leave. After leaving, they will come and eat the corpse."
"However, not everyone accepts this method. Secular nobles who do not have strong beliefs would rather choose the most despicable burial method in their eyes."
"Judging from the structure in front of us, this mausoleum contains both earth burials and tower burials. It can be seen that the owner of the tomb has a distinguished identity!"
Huang Hao suddenly interrupted: "Don't they think that being buried so deep is actually the same as going to hell?"
He didn't know much about Buddhism, but Huang Hao also knew about hell.
The nine-story tower is already half the height of the eighteen-story hell.
The Central Plains aristocrats can still understand, but the Tubo aristocrats who are deeply influenced by Buddhist ideas also made such a move, which makes them a little confused.
"If we want to unravel the mystery, we have to wait until we get to the bottom." Lin Ran actually only read relevant rumors on the platform, and was not sure whether it was this tower.
At this moment, Zhenbao, who was walking in front of the team, shouted: "Everyone, come and take a look, there are two entrances here!"
From the second to the third floor, the entrance is extremely hidden.
Unexpectedly, there are two entrances from the third to fourth floors.
You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a trap.
Lin Ran and Huang Hao walked to the front of the team together. Among the expedition team, only three of them had experience in Feng Shui and finding roads.
Huang Hao smiled and said: "In my opinion, the tomb owner was afraid that one entrance would not be enough, so he just built two."
Liu Jingfeng rolled his eyes at him: "You mean he welcomes us to rob tombs?"
He put away his smile because Lin Ran had already started to explore the road.
Lin Ran looked at the road in front of him with a surprised expression.
He also couldn't tell the difference between the two caves, so he asked Jumbo for his opinion.
Zhenbao shook his head: "I looked at it for a long time, but I still don't understand the meaning of the two doors."
Actually, there is a mark above the door.
Although it was blurry, Lin Ran still guessed that one said life and the other said death.
But can we just trust the things in the tomb?
He smiled bitterly. The door in front of him faced two directions, and there might be danger in it.
The others were undecided and were waiting for him to make a decision!
