Chapter 822 Exploring the Ancient Tomb
It is certainly not a simple person who can make craftsmen spend a lot of money and set up traps.
The only person who best fits this status is the legendary Queen of Khitan, Queen Mother Xiao.
However, her burial has always been a mystery, why she was buried near the capital.
Lin Ran became more and more curious about this mausoleum, regardless of how many funerary objects it contained, whether it was worth the trip.
As long as we can unlock the secrets buried in the tombs, the trip will be worthwhile.
It's a pity that Xu Yi was given another job, otherwise he might be able to solve the mystery faster if he were to interpret it.
Finally, they hesitated.
Should we lift the seal? After all, there are many unsolved mysteries in traditional culture. If there is something strange, they will be in danger.
Lin Ran pondered for a moment and said: "The end of this trip is right in front of us. If we can uncover the mystery of witchcraft, then this life will be in vain."
The expression of a strong man breaking off his wrist is particularly tragic.
The rest of the people couldn't help but be infected, and mankind's exploration of the unknown has never stopped.
Have a deep sense of awe for the unknown.
If no one pays, the answer will never be known, which is also the key to the progress of human civilization.
The secret mechanism of this mausoleum was something that Lin Ran had never thought of. Even in the 21st century with the development of the Internet, he had never heard of it.
It means that this tomb has never been truly excavated by China.
After making the decision, Wang Jinpeng immediately stood up, patted his chest and said: "A man who stands between heaven and earth has nothing to fear about life and death."
"That's right." Lao Hei also laughed and said, "I have been living in a hazy state before. It is an honor for me to meet a few of you now and explore the ancient tomb with you."
He was impressed by the optimism and knowledge of the group.
After receiving recognition, Lin Ran felt at ease.
After sorting it out, return to the stone door.
It was completely different from the Shimen they met on the road. After tearing off the talisman, Griphook appeared in front of them.
Although it was a bit heavy, they combined their strength to pull the stone door.
As the tomb door slowly opened, a smell of decay came oncoming.
Wang Jinpeng was about to stride in, but Lin Ran stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Don't rush in yet. This tomb has been isolated for nearly a thousand years, and the air inside is complicated."
Because Amin was not there, there was no way to detect the composition of the air inside.
But Lin Ran knew very well that many archaeologists and tomb robbers would be in danger in tombs because they were too careless.
Open the door wide, and push the iron door wide open to let the air out.
And Lin Ran was not idle at this time, taking the burned charcoal and stuffing it into the cloth.
"What are you doing?" Liu Jingfeng looked at his movements and felt curious.
"Charcoal can absorb small particles." Lin Ran tied the cloth into a simple mask shape.
Although it looked funny to wear, Lin Ran explained: "We came in without a gas mask. There may be viruses and other substances in it, so be careful."
"You can't tell, but Brother Lin is also very clever." Wang Jinpeng looked at the simply tied mask and put it on.
After waiting outside for an hour, they decided to enter the main tomb.
As soon as I stepped into the tomb, I felt a gloomy wind coming.
"Why is there wind here?" Liu Jingfeng pulled his collar and felt a little strange.
"The air pressure difference hasn't been adjusted back yet." Lin Ran said, "This place has been sealed at the bottom of the river for hundreds of years. The air pressure inside will be higher than outside. We just adjusted the air pressure."
Wang Jinpeng learned that there was no mechanism in the tomb, so he took a light and walked in front of the team.
Lin Ran was walking behind him, feeling extremely nervous.
Less than ten meters into the tomb passage, there is a stone tablet.
The stone tablet is about two meters high, and what is engraved on it is Khitan characters.
In addition, there is a talisman affixed to it, which is the same as the pattern on the door.
The text on the stele is square and sharp. Although it is incomprehensible, it shows that the calligraphy of the person who carved the stele is quite good, and it is a valuable cultural relic.
Continuing to walk inside, I saw that the tomb passage was well built and the walls were smooth. Although it was not painted, it was clean and tidy.
But Wang Jinpeng exclaimed at this time: "So many skeletons!"
After walking around the stone monument, a room appeared.
On both sides of the room, there were many skeletons standing, which was very scary.
This scene can't help but make people's hair stand on end.
Lin Ran suppressed his fear and approached the skeletons, discovering that they were standing because they were nailed to the wall by long nails.
I couldn't help but frown, this was too cruel.
And there were not just one or two skeletons in the room, but two entire rows, and a rough count of 36 people.
Sacrifice?
The purpose of going to such great lengths to bury them and keeping them standing was to ensure that they could still protect the tomb owner after death.
This tomb is really an evil door, but this room is the only way for them to move forward. He walked through them with the words "There is no strange thing, don't be weird."
After passing through a room full of skeletons, we came to a hall.
The walls are covered with murals, and the content of the murals is war.
This should be the scene of her commanding the army and fighting the Mongolian cavalry.
Looking at the mural, Lin Ran couldn't help but be in awe.
How powerful Mongolia was back then, even the Song Dynasty could not withstand their impact, and small tribes were even less likely to be opponents of mounted archers.
But she actually gathered so many people and launched a fierce battle with the Mongolian cavalry. Lin Ran was deeply impressed by her determination and perseverance.
"Could it be that the Mongols lost and were afraid of her coming back, so they used this method to imprison her soul and prevent her from reincarnation forever?" Even a slow-responsive person like Wang Jinpeng was confused when he saw the mural. Got this idea.
Lin Ran nodded silently, this guess was reasonable.
But the Mongols have always been open-minded. It is understandable that they can whip corpses. They spend a lot of time building tombs. Do they really believe this?
Not to mention this, even if it is the Khitan, how can it be Mongolia's opponent.
In the history that Lin Ran knew, the Khitans were beaten on the head by the Mongols, and they were completely helpless.
There is an army that can fight the Mongols, unless they are bragging and deliberately painted these paintings to show off themselves.
I always feel like the logic is wrong.
Hearing them talk about history, Wang Jinpeng smiled bitterly: "Although I don't understand history, I remember a saying that history is written by the victors, right?"
The group was surprisingly unanimous about his gag and did not laugh at him.
But after thinking about it seriously, it was indeed possible.
Mongolia finally established the Yuan Dynasty and was the victor, so it would naturally portray itself as invincible.
Archaeological work is the process of digging out history that has been modified or covered up.
"Jinpeng, I find that you are becoming more and more like a wise man." Lin Ran smiled.
"This is called being wise and foolish." Liu Jingfeng also joked from the side. Jin Peng did play a crucial role in the process of going to the tomb.
The views he raised are understandable.
Find the owner of the tomb, then give the information to the archaeological team and let them study the history behind it.
