Below the thief cave is the dark room that Jiang Wenhao said, the dark room of less than 20 square meters originally had several archaeologists cleaning up the cultural relics, after Qi Lu and the others went down, the space suddenly seemed crowded.
Under the dim light, Qi Lu saw that there were piles of rusty bronzes all around, and occasionally some jade products were exposed, but more cultural relics were half-buried in the soil waiting for the archaeological team to excavate them.
When Qi Lu was amazed, he found that there was a faint light on the top of the cave in front of him, and after a closer look, he found that it was a dark hole, and he was about to ask Jiang Wenhao what was going on, Professor Jiang had already answered the doubts in his heart: "This hole is the thief hole dug by the gang of Tyrant Teeth, and they sneaked in from here to do those shady things." ” It turned out that Qi Lu, who had stolen the bronze gui from this hole last night, couldn't help but be taken aback, he subconsciously turned around and looked at the hole he had just come down, with an incredible look in his eyes.
He couldn't help but express the question in his heart to Jiang Wenhao: "Are you saying that the Tyrant Tooth gang first dug this hole outside the tomb, and then climbed in and dug up the thief hole leading to the main coffin room."
"It seems that this should be the case at the moment."
"It doesn't make sense."
Qi Lu said in a deep voice: "Let's not mention that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive and easy to be discovered, since they have already entered the dark room, how can they abandon such a large number of treasures and go to dig another robbery hole."
"Maybe they're too greedy."
Jiang Wenhao's tone was not very sure, and he himself felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.
"You see so many treasures in the dark room, it is estimated that a truckload can't be loaded, how can they give up their immediate interests to pursue the temptation that has not been reached" Qi Lu said: "What is even more puzzling is that they can find this dark room that even you can't find, and they will definitely know that there is nothing valuable in the main coffin, so I think the possibility of them digging through the main coffin is extremely low." ” Ding Xiaolan also came to her senses, and she continued Qi Lu's words and said: "The cultural relics here can't be moved in a month with the strength of two people.
If he digs through the robbery hole in the main coffin again, Professor Jiang, you can find out about their crimes the next day, will they still have a chance to steal cultural relics?"
Jiang Wenhao said: "This is indeed an unbelievable thing, but if we want to understand the truth of the matter, we can only know their motives when Xiao Liu obtains the true confession of the violent teeth." ” At this moment, Jiang Wenhao suddenly shouted at Ding Xiaolan: "Be careful, don't step on it" Ding Xiaolan was so shocked that she looked at her feet, and it turned out that when she was walking, she almost stepped on a bronze half-buried in the soil.
She quickly retracted her feet and retreated, but she didn't expect to stumble under her feet, and suddenly leaned back.
Qi Luyin chatted with Professor Jiang and Ding Xiaolan were far away, and he couldn't help her at this time, so he had to watch her fall to the ground.
"Ouch" Ding Xiaolan fell to the ground and screamed in pain, and an archaeological team member working next to her quickly helped her up.
Ding Xiaolan intuitively felt a cold swishing on her left shoulder, and reached out to touch it back, only to find that blood oozed from her shoulder.
Qi Lu also panicked at this time, and hurriedly walked over to check her injuries.
Professor Jiang couldn't hold back his face, and quickly arranged for two archaeological team members to stop their work and help Ding Xiaolan out of the cave to take her to the hospital.
Qi Lu was about to accompany her to the hospital, but was stopped by Lao Wu, who had been silent.
"Xiao Qi, look here" Where Ding Xiaolan fell just now, a triangular thing surfaced on the surface, and there were blood stains on it, it seemed that it was the culprit that injured Ding Xiaolan.
Qi Lu squatted down to take a look, and found that this thing looked like the exposed corners of a tomb brick buried in the soil.
At this time, Jiang Wenhao had already put on gloves and was stroking the tomb brick with his hand.
I felt that it was not buried deeply, and it was already a little loose under the force of my fingers.
He tentatively pulled the tomb brick, only to hear a "clatter", and the tomb wall behind them collapsed without warning, stirring up dust and smoke all over the hole.
Through the dust and mist, Qi Lu was surprised to see that there was a large hole in the tomb wall that was more than one person high, and behind the hole was a bottomless tunnel.
Unexpectedly, there was a hidden cave, and the thing that looked like a tomb brick turned out to be the mechanism to open the secret passage, but it was only a few seconds of hesitation, Jiang Wenhao took the flashlight from the hand of an archaeological team member and shone it into the dark passage, and found that this was a slope-like tunnel that extended upward, and there was no end in sight.
Everyone gathered together, Jiang Wenhao controlled the excitement in his heart, and used a flashlight to shine on both sides of the hard stone wall, and found that the stone wall was very rough, like a secret passage that was completed in a hurry.
Moreover, the stone walls on both sides are not painted with murals like the usual tomb roads, they are completely bare, and in some places there are traces of groundwater erosion.
Qi Lu stopped Jiang Wenhao, who was about to enter the cave, and said with a smile, "Let me take the lead." ” After experiencing a series of mysterious events one after another, Qi Lu was worried that there would be strange things in this cave that suddenly appeared, and he didn't want Professor Jiang to encounter danger, so he took the flashlight in the professor's hand and rushed into the cave.
Everyone followed him in, and Lao Wu fell to the back, looking around from time to time, for fear that a ghost would pop out of his back.
Fortunately, there are no mechanisms in the cave, but there is a strange smell that is difficult to describe in words, presumably a musty smell formed by the lack of air circulation caused by the dark passage being closed for too long.
The dark passage is very long, and the further you go inside, the wider it becomes, but in the end, you can walk three or four people side by side.
It was just that there were too many bends and went around, so that Qi Lu instinctively noticed that they were going around in a spiral circle.
Finally they came to the end, and came to a large cave that could hold dozens of people, and the top of their heads was artificially built into a round arch, and some bronzes were scattered on the ground.
Qi Lu shone the flashlight at these bronzes, and found that they were bronze weapons such as swords.
Due to the passage of time, they were all badly damaged by air erosion.
Qi Lu saw a pile of things in the corner again, which seemed to be a few ancient cloth clothes, and the colors were still very bright, so he walked over curiously and reached out to touch them.
"Xiao Qi, don't" Jiang Wenhao hurriedly reminded him not to touch these weak cultural relics, but it was too late, and his clothes turned into powder under the touch of Qi Lu's fingers.
He immediately blushed and stood up to apologize to Professor Jiang.
But Jiang Wenhao didn't blame Qi Lu too much, because his attention was already attracted by the exquisite murals around the cave wall.
There are very few murals in the tombs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and archaeologists are more likely to understand the history of the time through the oracle bone inscriptions on animal bones and tortoise shells or the inscriptions on bronzes, and this cave is actually full of murals, which can make Jiang Wenhao excited, perhaps through the content of the murals, he can find out the true identity of the owner of the ancient tomb.
However, Jiang Wenhao was disappointed in the end, because the content of the mural was much the same, basically a bloody scene of soldiers executing prisoners of war.
A handful of murals depict a few sorcerers wearing masks of mountain gods or beasts performing strange dances, as if performing some unknown ritual.
The craftsmen who made the murals were very skilled, and the ferocity of the soldiers in the paintings and the fear of the prisoners before they died were all depicted vividly, which made people feel chilled to look at them.
Jiang Wenhao's mood was not affected, he carefully looked at the contents of the mural, and recognized them as warriors of the Zhou Dynasty from the armor worn by the soldiers.

One of the archaeologists said: "Could the murdered prisoners of war in the mural be the skeletons we found in the main coffin?"
Jiang Wenhao did not answer, there is likely to be a correlation between them, but it is too early to draw conclusions.
Qi Lu's face was solemn, because he had already seen that among the killed prisoners of war in the mural were women, children and children.
Don't talk about modern society, even in the Zhou Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, this is also a very cruel thing.
Suddenly, another member of the archaeological team shouted: "Professor, there seems to be someone here."
Everyone quickly shone the light on the place he said, and found that a thing nearly two meters high protruded from the stone wall on the far right side of the cave entrance, which looked like a human form, but on closer inspection, they found that it was a skeleton.
The clothes on his body have long since decayed and disappeared, and now only a skeleton is embedded in the stone wall.
Just as everyone was staring at the skeleton intently, it actually moved in front of everyone's eyes, followed the skeleton out of the stone wall, and pounced on the closest archaeological team member "Not good" Qi Lu exclaimed, and an arrow stepped forward, pulling the archaeological team member out of danger.
Before he could take the next move, the spirit rune in Lao Wu's hand flew over everyone's heads and firmly attached to the skeleton's skull.
With a "boom", the skeleton fell to the ground.
"The dead are resurrected" The archaeological team member who was rescued by Qi Lu was so frightened that he sat down in the mud with his butt and the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground.
The cave was silent for a moment, Qi Lu stared at the skeleton that fell to the ground, and saw that it didn't move for a long time, so he stepped forward with a spirit talisman and kicked it lightly with his foot, who knew that the skeleton was kicked into powder by him like tofu scum.
The rancid smell of bone meal was unbearable, and they ran out of the cave with their noses covered and stood in the tunnels to avoid the disgusting smell.
After the dust settled, Professor Jiang led everyone back to the cave.
Looking at the gray-white bone meal piled up on the ground, Jiang Wenhao pulled Qi Lu aside and asked in a low voice, "It's really haunted."
"I don't know.
Maybe it's a supernatural event, maybe it's the skeleton that comes loose from the wall at this time, making us mistakenly think that the dead are resurrected.
Qi Lu wasn't sure, because he didn't notice the slightest evil aura.
Professor Jiang stopped talking, he found that the wall of the cave where the skeleton was originally inlaid had become a deep hole, so he took back the flashlight from Qi Lu's hand and shone it into the cave, wanting to see if there were any cultural relics from the Zhou Dynasty period left inside.
Only then did he realize that the place where the skeleton was inlaid in this stone cave was soft soil, and there was nothing in this cave except the skeleton just now, but there was a deep buried obsidian on the inside, and the volume of the exposed surface was the size of a bamboo basket.
Jiang Wenhao tried to brush off the dust on this obsidian with his hands, and found that it showed some signs of loosening, so he quickly turned around and beckoned Qi Lu to help, and the two of them pulled this obsidian out without much effort.
Under the light of the flashlight, the obsidian was black, and Professor Jiang felt a little sorry in his heart, knowing that it contained too many impurities and had little commercial value.
If the stone is a gem-quality rainbow-eyed obsidian that exhibits a cat's eye effect when illuminated by a flashlight, its value is incalculable.
Qi Lu didn't pay attention to the black stone, but stretched out his head to look at the earth cave, and he was surprised to find that where the obsidian had been moved, there was actually another deep hole revealed, although the diameter was less than two feet square, but it was enough for an adult to get into it.
What's more, before Qi Lu's ears got close to the entrance of the cave, he heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the cave, and the direction seemed to be the sound of water coming from the other end of the cave. i0 t1706231537:
