Chapter 239 Under the Tomb
Jin Abacus pinned the abacus in his hand to his waist and said with a smile: "The feng shui of this place is extraordinary and unique in the desert. And this ancient well is in the center of the ancient city, gathering water veins and dragon energy from all directions. I guess there is a well below.
Ancient tomb."
Ancient tomb?
Several people were overjoyed.
The Partridge Whistle was a little confused about the way Jin Abacus touched the Jin Shi acupoint just now, so he asked.
Jin Abacus likes to be a teacher, but he couldn't find a sense of accomplishment from Ye Bai, so he explained it to Partridge Whistle with great interest.
Under the ancient well is a pool of cool water, connected to underground rivers, which is different from the hot and dry environment outside the desert.
Chen Yulou couldn't hold himself back. After getting fully armed, he tied a rope and slid down first.
Ye Bai saw that there was not much space in the well, so he did not follow in a hurry.
The well is very deep, and the deeper it goes, the emptier it becomes at the bottom.
Soon, Chen Yulou's echo came from below: "There is indeed an ancient tomb, and there is a stone door on the wall of the well!"
The walls of the well were slippery and it was difficult to get a foothold. Chen Yulou swayed his body and swung to the stone door.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Yulou felt a chill down his spine. It turned out that it was blowing from the gap in the stone door.
Chen Yulou pushed it with his hand and found that there was a lot of resistance. There was a stone lock and a stone bolt behind the stone door, which required tools to open.
He looked inside through the crack in the door. Although it was dark, he could still clearly see the outline of a figure inside with his night eyes.
Sensing movement behind him, he turned around and saw Ye Bai shining a flashlight on his face, which looked extremely pale.
Chen Yulou was instantly startled into a cold sweat: "You kid are going to scare me to death!"
Ye Bai chuckled and came to the stone door: "How was it? What did you see?"
"It's hard to say. You need to go in and take a look before you know."
Ye Bai explored the stone door, then took out a thin iron rod, stretched it into the gap in the door, and moved the stone bolt away bit by bit.
The stone door is wide open, and behind it is a masonry corridor, which is spacious and neat.
At this time, the partridge whistle also swung down, and the voice of Jin Abacus came from the wellhead again: "Wait for me, I discovered this tomb first."
It seems that he is afraid that Ye Bai and others will explore the tomb.
Partridge Whistle fastened the safety rope and shouted: "Uncle Jin, you can come down now."
Then, the golden abacus slid down with a double-buckle safety lock, followed by Zhang Jiuyi, and the others stayed on top to look after the camel.
Ye Bai lit a candle to test the air. He didn't know whether it was a problem with the wind or the air, but the candle would always go out, so he gave each person a gas mask.
"I'll be clearing the way ahead, so be careful."
The system map shows that the tomb of Prince Gumo is not big. There is a stone chamber after the two corridors. There is another space under the stone chamber, which is probably the hidden main tomb chamber, and the bronze treasure box is there.
The five people walked about fifty meters inward and passed two stone gates in a row. The last stone gate was sealed tightly.
There are unknown strange beasts embossed on the stone door, and dead animal skins are pasted on the cracks of the door.
Chen Yulou used a small sharp edge to cut off the animal skin piece by piece before opening the door.
When you reach the end, you enter a spacious and dry stone room, sixty to seventy meters long and three meters high.
Although this space is spacious, there are so many bones on the ground that there is no place to put your feet.
However, everyone also discovered that the bones were not human bones, but those of some kind of animal. They were extremely loose and would break if stepped on.
Dozens of wooden pillars stood around, with dried human bones hanging on them.
Chen Yulou was suspicious. This must be what he saw through the crack in the door just now, but the first stone door was dozens of meters away from here. Plus, there was no way he could see it through the closed stone door.<
/p>
Is it an illusion?
Chen Yulou couldn't help but pull Ye Bai: "Third brother, please open your eyes and show me. I think there is something unclean in this tomb."
Ye Bai smiled, and seeing Chen Yulou's serious look, he opened his special pupils and looked around, but didn't see anything unusual.
While the two were talking, Jin Abacus and Partridge Whistle had already discovered that there was something wrong with the floor of the stone room.
In the middle area, there is a embossed floor with hidden pull tabs on both sides.
Zhang Jiuyi and Partridge Whistle each pulled to one side, and with a rumbling sound, a square space was revealed on the floor.
Ye Bai took a flashlight and took a photo. There was not much space underneath, and a square coffin was placed in the middle.
However, this coffin is very different from the burial customs in the Central Plains. It does not have any decorative patterns and looks like a big box.
The partridge whistle jumped down from the tomb and found that the surrounding walls were covered with murals.
And because the stone chamber is not ventilated, the murals are very well preserved and the colors are bright.
"This mural seems to be related to Jingjue City?" Jin Abacus looked around and couldn't help but asked.
"Second brother, do you remember Prince Gumo?" Ye Bai said.
Partridge Whistle immediately recalled: "You mean the warrior who poisoned Queen Jingjue?"
"Yes, that's him. This should be his tomb."
"I didn't expect this warrior to come out alive?" Partridge Whistle was a little unbelievable. He thought Prince Gumo was also buried in the ancient city of Jingjue.
After all, he succeeded in poisoning the country and the Jingjue Kingdom was about to be destroyed. As long as he stayed there, he would be the greatest contributor to the Thirty-Six Kingdoms.
"He was a smart man. After he was poisoned, he escaped and was not buried in the ancient city of Jingjue." Chen Yulou said.
Zhang Jiuyi shook his head: "According to what you said, if I were Prince Gumo, it would be impossible for me to escape, unless he found something that scares him in Jingjue Kingdom."
Something that scares him?
Zhang Jiuyi did not whet everyone's appetite and came to a mural.
"The murals in front are easy to understand. Prince Gumo presented a large amount of treasures and cattle and sheep slaves to Jingjue Kingdom, but he never saw the queen's face."
"This mural is a bit weird. You see the prince in the painting hiding in the corner and peeking. The face of Queen Jingjue is veiled in all the murals, but this one only has the back of the queen."
"She lifted the veil with one hand, and the person opposite turned into a shadow... and disappeared directly?"
"Is Queen Jingjue a monster?"
The tomb was cold and cold. Jin Abacus looked around and suddenly felt a bit chilly.
Chen Yulou suddenly thought of something: "It seems that Queen Jingjue really has demonic powers. I still remember what the ancestors of Bishan recorded: It is said that Queen Jingjue uses her eyes to capture people, either with demonic magic or the magic of round light capturing souls."<
/p>
"If this is true, then Prince Gumo should have witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was frightened away, and was later buried here, with his deeds recorded on the murals."
After saying that, Chen Yulou touched Ye Bai and said, "Why don't you say a word? We read the manual recorded by the ancestors of Banshan together."
Ye Bai said: "I'm thinking about the relationship between Queen Jingjue and Muchen Pearl."
