"Don't be afraid. This is just a method of illumination used by the ancients in the past. There was white phosphorous on the lamp oil, and the ignition point of the white phosphorous was very low. If it came into contact with air, it would automatically ignite. In this way, the lamp oil would also be ignited. This was also what people often called will-o'-the-wisps.”Qin Mu said indifferently.
"I see!"
Fatty Wang, who was originally a little terrified.
He instantly understood.
Then, everyone continued to walk in, and from time to time, they could see dried corpses. The eerie wind in the tomb made one's hair stand on end. At this moment, Xue Li Yang also came close to Qin Mu and subconsciously held his arm. Her face was still a little pale.
Although she had followed her father to explore everywhere since she was young.
However, this was the first time Xue Li Yang had seen such a scene, so she was still a little afraid.
When he saw Xue Li Yang's expression…
Qin Mu also consoled him softly. Very soon, they had already passed through the tomb passage and arrived at the tomb chamber. They only saw that the entire tomb chamber was empty. Other than a sacrificial platform, there was no coffin at all, much less any burial items.
When he saw this scene.
Fatty Wang could not help but feel a little anxious. He hurriedly said,"What's going on? Wasn't this an ancient tomb? Why was there no coffin? Did we go to the wrong place? My baby!"
Fatty Wang still felt a headache as he spoke.
One had to know that the reason why he came down was to find some treasures.
However, who would have thought that they would not get anything? Moreover, the tomb was actually empty. It was really like drawing water with a bamboo basket!
Professor Chen, who was beside him, observed the surroundings. After a while, he said,"It seems that this place isn't a tomb, but a place similar to a sacrifice. According to the information we know, in the past, the small countries of the Western Regions often took criminals to the desert to die of thirst. After their bodies dried, they hung them on stone pillars.”
"D * mn, kill someone from thirst? Isn't that too cruel?" Someone from the archeological team said.
"In the slave society, this kind of thing is very common. Killing someone is nothing. Therefore, we should be glad that we are living in a new society. Otherwise, who knows how many people will suffer?”That patriotic comrade also said with some emotion.
After hearing Professor Chen's words.
Fatty Wang came in front of Qin Mu and Hu Bayi and said,""Old Qin, Old Hu, did you really make a mistake this time? This place doesn't look like a place with treasures. It seems that we're really going to make a wasted trip. We didn't even get a ceramic jar this time. It's really a pity!”
Fatty still felt a little helpless.
One had to know that he had painstakingly come all the way here.
However, he did not obtain anything. It was really a pity.
"Impossible! The 16-character Feng Shui secret technique passed down in our family has never been wrong. Moreover, this place is clearly an excellent Feng Shui place. How can there be no tombs? Even if there were no nobles, there should at least be an official or something, right?”Hu Bayi frowned as he spoke. Over the years, he had been studying the Feng Shui techniques of his family from time to time.
He had never made a mistake.
How could there be a mistake this time?
Such a place with good Feng Shui corresponded to a lucky star. Logically speaking, there must be a big tomb in such a place. There definitely wouldn't be only one sacrificial hall. Besides, it was just a sacrificial offering for criminals. Why would they need such a good place?
There must be a reason behind it!
"Then why can't I find it? One could see the end of the tomb at a glance, but there was nothing!”Fatty Wang said as he looked around.
"As the saying goes, there must be a reason why leather pants are worn over cotton pants. Since the 16-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique indicated that there was a tomb here, and even the compass had already located it, it was enough to prove that there was definitely something wrong here. Sometimes, we can't just believe what we see. Perhaps there was some mechanism that hid the tomb?”As Qin Mu spoke, his gaze was still on the high platform.
"That makes sense. Why didn't I think of that? However, where was it hidden?”
Fatty Wang looked around, feeling a little lost.
Obviously, he couldn't tell where it was hidden.
"He should be on the altar. Follow me!”As Qin Mu spoke, he walked towards the sacrificial altar.
Soon, he arrived at the altar. Then, he squatted down and pretended to check. Then, he said,"If I'm not wrong, this mechanism should be here. Look, the ground is uneven. There must be something down there.”
After Qin Mu finished speaking.
Fatty and Hu Bayi started fighting.
Soon, the altar was cleaned up.
He saw that there were a few doorknob like things on the originally uneven place.
Obviously, this should be similar to a door. It could be lifted up directly. Seeing this, Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and two people from the archeological team grabbed the door handle and pulled it open. As the altar was pulled up, a layer of space was revealed below.
"Hahaha, Old Qin, you guessed right. There's indeed a problem.”
"The owner of this tomb is really smart! He actually thought of such a method. However, it's a pity that he's not as smart as you, Old Qin.”
"Yeah, Brother Mu is awesome. You actually found him.”
“……”
When everyone saw the entrance of the cave.
Their faces were filled with admiration. After all, even though such a mechanism looked simple, it was actually very difficult to find it. It was also because of this that these people couldn't see through it earlier, but Qin Mu was able to see through it with a single glance. His eyesight was indeed amazing.
After moving the sacrificial platform away.
Professor Chen also said in admiration,""Comrade Little Qin, you are really amazing. You are simply a genius in the field of archaeology. You were able to find such a well-hidden tomb. It would be a pity if a talent like you didn't work in the field of archaeology! Why don't I sign you up when we get back and you can join our archeological team?”
Professor Chen was obviously interested in talents.
