Chapter 1156 – Martyrdom Pit
“Lilu ……”
Carrying Zhuang Rui to this place, the white horse thought that it had labored a lot, letting out a neigh from its mouth and coming up to Zhuang Rui, wanting to enjoy the nourishment of the spiritual qi entering his body again.
“Come on, you know the way back, right? You go back first!”
After Zhuang Rui injected a trace of aura into the white horse’s body, he waved his hand and sent it away, using aura to survey at a distance was different from within a few dozen meters, one had to be in a very quiet situation to be able to roughly determine the type of object through the shape of the aura wrapped object.
Seems to understand Zhuang Rui’s words, the white horse let out a long neigh and ran along the road, it did not think about Zhuang Rui later how to go back? Zhuang Rui is more of a mind on the underground tunnel, completely did not care about other things.
Zhuang Rui looked around, he is in the place, is a somewhat concave grass, the breeze blowing wind, waist-deep grass issued a rustling sound, in addition, the surrounding silence.
“Damn, this place is suitable for a ghost movie.”
Zhuang Rui was that rustling sound of the heart of the seven on the eight down, plus their own looking for exploration, may be a thousand years old ghost’s grave, has always been bold thief Zhuang Rui, this heart can not help but also a little drumming.
“Really the older the jianghu, the smaller the guts ah!”
Zhuang Rui laughed to himself, walked to a grass relatively sparse place to sit down, the whole person is not into the grass, from the outside does not look carefully, really can not find Zhuang Rui’s figure.
Deeply inhaled a breath, adjusted under the just long horse Benz disordered breathing, Zhuang Rui’s eyes shot to the ground in front of the body, invisible and colorless aura surged out, instantly penetrated the earth, came to the depths of the ground.
This time Zhuang Rui did not cast a wide net to catch fish, has found an artificial tunnel, Zhuang Rui also wants to see how long this tunnel is, the end of the tunnel, and what kind of secrets are buried?
When the aura in Zhuang Rui’s eyes couldn’t stop traveling forward along the wide tunnel, the objects inside the tunnel, also became more and more numerous, in addition to the cold weapons used in ancient times, more are some tools used to excavate the soil.
“This should be a hoe.”
The object wrapped in Zhuang Rui’s aura should be a bar hoe, the wooden handle had long since rotted away, but the iron head part was still intact, and the narrow body of the blade made it good at digging deeply in a small area.
“Hmm? Is this a natural underground rock formation, or is it man made …… Broken Dragon Stone?”
As Zhuang Rui’s aura traveled inward along the tunnel for another distance of about a kilometer or so, he found that the way ahead was blocked by a huge rock, which appeared very abruptly without any previous signs.
The ground of the prairie did not mean that it was all dirt structure, just like the mainland Central Plains, there were often rocks at a depth of more than ten meters below the ground.
It’s just that the rock layer and the mud layer exist alternately, and usually under the rock layer, there will also be mud and even underground water.
Just now when Zhuang Rui used his aura to penetrate the ground, he clearly “saw” that in the 30 meters below him, there was a rock layer with a thickness of more than 20 meters.
And in the rock layer below a dozen meters, there is an underground river, the dark river from the underground tunnel is only 20 meters deep, and the flow direction is the same, Zhuang Rui even doubt that the two extend further, whether it will cross to together?
Dark river is also called “ambient flow”, refers to the river below the ground, is a kind of underground karst geomorphology, is a collection of underground water, or surface water along the underground rock fissures seepage into the ground, after the rock erosion, collapse, and water transport and the formation of underground channels.
In the labyrinth under the Alzai Grotto, there is also the existence of a dark river, but because the labyrinth is huge, the water in many places has dried up and fallen off, and this dark river is actually flowing from there.
“What a bunch of fools! Leaving such a dark river unused and wasting such a large amount of manpower and material resources for nothing, it is estimated that only the Mongolian overlords who were dominating the steppe at that time could do it.”
Zhuang Rui slightly shook his head, but then it was dumbfounded, not to mention the ancients more than a thousand years ago, is the modern man, not after a long period of topographic surveys, I’m afraid that can not distinguish the underground topography and geomorphology, much less prepared to locate the dark river’s orientation and flow direction.
Laughing at others silly, but do not know stand and talk not waist pain, or their own, if not the eyes of the aura, is to let Zhuang Rui in this grassland stay a 100 years, he did not know underneath the existence of the dark river.
Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind, Zhuang Rui controlled the aura, penetrated into that blocking the way of the strip of stone, this survey does not matter, the results of which made Zhuang Rui staggered.
“Grandma, how on earth was this placed in?”
Nearly thirty meters in front of the blocked tunnel, all are up to two meters long block of large green stone masonry, stone connection place as heavenly, Zhuang Rui estimated that the construction of the people is not imitation of the Great Wall of Qin, with a knife piece test the gap between the stone?
“Damn, even if there is something behind this thing, a tomb, how to open it out?”
“Looking” at these blocking stones, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but frown, this he could now completely conclude that this was definitely an ancient people’s tomb.
But this tomb’s peculiar geographic location and complex man-made obstacles even far exceeded the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin that Zhuang Rui had seen not long ago.
The most difficult to overcome the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin is only the mercury volatilization, and access to the air after the damage of the items, but this tomb, is to let a person a little bit of a dog bite the hedgehog, there is no way to get off the feeling.
Dig down from the ground! That thickness of up to dozens of meters of rock layer, is the first roadblock, this project is not easier than in Sichuan and Tibet to build a railroad through the mountains.
And to the underground river, the current will also hinder the excavation process, can not effectively divert the dark river, if you want to continue to dig down, it is absolutely impossible, it is estimated that digging a few meters will not be the dark river will be collapsed.
That is to say, digging from above, almost impossible, even if Zhuang Rui is willing to pay, I’m afraid he can’t persuade the local government and archaeological department support, not to mention the technical difficulties Zhuang Rui can’t overcome.
As for this approach from the tunnel inward, it seems feasible, in fact, the difficulty is also very large, first of all to enter the underground cave in the Alzhai Grotto, and after that still have to go through that labyrinth of caves, looking for the tunnel’s intervention point.
Zhuang Rui had surveyed before, in the place where the cave and the tunnel are connected, it is also blocked by countless huge rocks, the thickness of which is much thicker than here, and if you want to clean it out, I’m afraid that it won’t be possible to do it without a year and a half.
“Grandma, this is the real fireproof, burglar-proof, descendant-proof tomb ah!”
Zhuang Rui secretly sighed in his heart, such a large-scale underground tomb, that is, grave robbers with even more advanced grave robbing techniques are probably at their wits’ end. Other than that, the dozens of meters thick rocks alone would be enough for him to hammer for the rest of his life.
“Forget it, let’s just ignore that for now and see whose tomb it is! It’s not like there’s a huge project in front of it and nothing inside, right?”
After marveling at the greatness of the ancients, Zhuang Rui put his mind back, and at the same time, his heart became even more curious, just which great emperor could enjoy such a generous burial?
Just as Zhuang Rui had guessed, after the thirty meter long strip of stone, the familiar tunnel space appeared again.
Just this space inside the object, let Zhuang Rui a little puzzled, this space than the previous to be much larger than the previous, this is a high about five meters, length and width respectively in thirty and ten meters of huge space.
And in this space, Zhuang Rui didn’t find any place that contained aura, but he felt through the aura that this space of about hundreds of square meters seemed to be piled with things.
“Shit, what the hell is this stuff? Why isn’t there any aura at all?” Since the objects were piled up too much, Zhuang Rui could only judge them little by little through their shapes, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
Before this grassland archaeology, Zhuang Rui traveled all over Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu, etc., for those who are as short as a few decades, as long as hundreds of thousands of years of various tombs, but also seen a lot.
Basically, the objects inside those tombs, even if it is a piece of ragged clothes that have not completely decayed, will carry a little aura, he has never seen a room full of things, but a little aura does not exist in the scene!
Zhuang Rui sensed through his aura that the pile filled up the entire space, the most was some strip-like objects of different lengths, and the other was something round and slightly smaller than a leather ball.
“Round, two holes on top, one hole in the center, what kind of thing is this?”
Zhuang Rui’s mouth while chanting, while using his hand in front of him, suddenly, Zhuang Rui’s expression froze, the whole person exempted a moment from the ground popped up.
“Damn, isn’t this a dead man’s corpse?”
For a moment, Zhuang Rui only felt his scalp explode, a coolness on the backbone of his spine went straight to his head, the goosebumps of his whole body bulged out, no longer able to control the aura in his eyes, the mercury pouring back into his eyes from the ground in general.
“That square hundreds of meters of space, all dead people, inside at least thousands of people, martyrdom pit, must be a martyrdom pit.”
Dry archaeology in this line, the living martyrdom, is not something rare, Zhuang Rui once in Liu Xiu’s tomb, have seen a few martyrdom bones, but like just sensed thousands of martyrdom pit, or let Zhuang Rui feel a little bit creepy at the bottom of the heart chills.
Originally warm breeze blowing on the grass issued by the “rustle” sound, at the moment listen to in Zhuang Rui ears, also some gusty feeling, it seems that there are countless souls around, stretching out his hands to Zhuang Rui said what.
“Motherfucker, I’m not afraid of the living, will still be afraid of you thousand-year-old ghosts?”
Zhuang Rui reached out and scratched his scalp, roaring loudly at the surroundings, but the slightly trembling legs showed that the dude was typically colorful.
