After hearing Lu Chen's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty also turned on their flashlights.
About two to three hundred meters ahead, there was a faint fluorescent light.
"D * mn, isn't that ghost fire in front?”
Fatty muttered.
The so-called will-o'-the-wisp was a wildfire that usually appeared in dry graves.
It was the natural result of the formation of phosphorus dioxide after the body rotted.
Fatty's guess was quickly denied by Lu Chen.
"Phosphorescence will only appear near a corpse that has just died.”
"No one has been here for at least a thousand years. The previous corpses have long rotted away.”
"So it can't be a phosphorous fire. Moreover, a phosphorous fire requires a rapid airflow to appear.”
Fatty was still very convinced by Lu Chen's words. He did not have any doubts and only nodded."Oh, I see."
"Looks like it's not a ghost fire. Then what is the light ahead?”
"We'll know when we go over and take a look."
Lu Chen, who was holding a flashlight, walked at the front and slowly walked into the passageway.
The ground and walls of this passage were made of soft soil, mixed with some yellow sand.
The ground was also a little uneven. When he stepped on it, he could feel some fine sand flowing.
"Hey, Old Hu, Master Lu, look, there are pictures and words on the wall.”
Fatty's eyes had always been very sharp, especially in such a 'fresh' environment. His eyes were constantly paying attention to his surroundings.
Soon, he discovered that there was something fishy about the wall.
Lu Chen and Hu Ba looked at the wall of the passage according to Fatty's instructions.
The torchlight shone on the wall and saw that there were two states of the wall.
One was a wall without any patterns or words.
The wall was relatively rough, and it felt soft and sticky.
It was like a wall made of wet sand.
The wall would cave in if he pushed in.
The other type was a wall with patterns. The back of this wall should be lined with stones, which was very firm and flat.
He drew some introductions about the ancient palace.
The painting on it was originally painted, but after the baptism of time, the paint on it had been oxided.
Therefore, it looked like a black pattern.
The pictures depicted the officials, soldiers, slaves, and ants of the dynasty.
It was not difficult to tell from the mural that there was an ant here, which was the 'ant queen' that looked exactly like the statue outside.
He was standing with a high-ranking official who was wearing luxurious clothes. Below him were a group of officials who were arranged in two rows.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the slave whose hands were tied up in the middle and who was being detained by the soldiers.
These slaves 'faces were covered in strange camouflage patterns. They were naked and kneeling in the middle.
Beside him, the soldiers had fierce expressions on their faces. They raised the weapons in their hands and were about to stab the slaves.
What was even more amazing was that there were also ant soldiers the size of half a person around the soldiers who were holding the slaves captive. They were also mighty and majestic as they raised their heads and stepped on the slaves.
The slaves who were stepped on by the ants all knelt on the ground in pain.
Looking at the murals on it, Fatty Wang clicked his tongue in wonder."D * mn, this ant is really impressive.”
"You've all become spirits!"
Lu Chen shone his flashlight on the mural and looked at it from beginning to end.
From the information on the murals, it could be seen that ants indeed had a unique position in this country.
Those officials, ministers, and even the royal family were not qualified to stand beside the person in power.
However, the ant queen was able to stay by his side.
From this, one could see his status.
Moreover, the outline of the ruler's face on this mural was clearer than the one in the clay statue.
It could be seen from the mural that the person in charge was a woman.
"Queen?"
"The supreme ruler of this country is actually a woman!”
Previously, he couldn't tell from the clay statue, but now that he saw the mural, he could clearly see that the supreme ruler was a woman.
This shocked the three of them.
Hu Bayi said in surprise.
"I thought it was King Xian lying inside. At the very least, it was King Xian's son or something.”
"I didn't expect it to be a woman.”
"It can't be the wife of Prince Xian, right?”
Fatty began to guess again.
Lu Chen quickly denied this answer.
"If she really is King Xian's wife, then this tomb should be King Xian's tomb.”
"During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the status of women was not high. As the woman of King Xian, she must have been buried with him.”
"However, if this woman is also a ruler, then in the territory of King Xian, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.”
"Won't they fight?"
Fatty was still puzzled.
"That's right, so we can't rule out the possibility that this queen might be the leader of a few local tribes.”
"It was rumored that King Xian defeated the Yi tribe and captured the people of the tribe as slaves to build a palace.”
"After the palace was built, they were sealed into human figurines.”
Hu Bayi said.
However, Lu Chen did not support this view.
This place was the dragon cave of a branch of the dragon vein, and it was also a treasure trove.
According to their understanding of King Xian, he would never allow the leader of the Yi tribe to build a tomb here.
Even if it was secretly made by the Yi people, it was impossible.
During the reign of King Xian, he had always wanted to become an immortal, and he had many Feng Shui masters under him.
This branch of the dragon vein could not be hidden under the eyes of these Feng Shui masters.
That was why they could build such a tomb here.
There was only one possibility, and that was obtaining the permission of King Xian.
He must be a very important figure in King Xian's life, or was there a special principle of Feng Shui in the construction of this place that could promote the 'immortality' of King Xian's tomb?
All of this was unknown, and that was all the information on the mural.
Lu Chen, the fat man, and the other two continued to walk deeper into the tunnel.
