Chapter 41

mb robbing, so I stammered and lied, "I... I was bitten at home."">"A house" Aunt Liu stared at me, saying meaningfully, "I don't think there are any snakes like that in my house...."Liu Po waved her...The chisels were sharpened, and the Sun brothers took turns working tirelessly. The slate was not particularly sharp or hard, but with everyone working together, it only took a few hours to complete the task that would have taken a day.

The nose cavity is carved out, and the process continues as before: a crochet hook is used to thread a string.

"I yelled one and gave it my all, this thing shrunk a lot, it should be doable in one go."

"Sun Lao San took the lead in pulling on the rope, and we three followed closely behind, picking it up."

He took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

Three....Two.

"""

"One!"

The rope went taut instantly, and we pulled to the left.

"With a loud crash," the sound of the stone falling inside was very big.

Sun Lao San's estimate was right, with our first experience, this time we found the right way and succeeded once.

Following the principle of utmost care, Lao San placed a white wax candle in the crack of the door first. This was to test the oxygen content inside the space.

The candle stood on the ground, its flame flickering erratically. There was no feeling of wind, yet the candle's flame tilted to one side.

"No problem, big brother."

I whispered.

He waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to observe for another two minutes.

A few minutes later, the candle was still burning at the same rate as before, not suddenly getting smaller. This indicates that the oxygen content inside is relatively stable.

"Watch your step," he cautioned, and we heaved open the two stone gates together.

The temperature inside the double doors was very low. The moment you stepped in, you could feel it. Even though everyone was bundled up, they still felt cold, and their breath formed visible clouds.

"Ugh... it's so cold here, Lao San. I bet it's at least ten degrees colder outside," a freckle-faced girl rubbed her hands together incessantly.

Sun Lao San also felt strange, and he said, "The temperature on Fei'e Mountain is relatively stable. I didn't expect it to be so weird here. I don't understand."

"

"If you can't figure it out, don't dwell on it, Lao San. We're not geologists after all. Let's scout the area first and see what we find," Sun Lao Da shared his opinion.

"Second brother, Third brother, you guys look up quickly," I waved my flashlight around randomly and suddenly discovered something.

In the southwest corner of the stone wall, many colorful frescoes remain.

"Murals...this...this doesn't seem like murals from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"

"Sun Lao San tilted his head and illuminated the mural with a flashlight. His expression was one of disbelief."

"Not the Western Zhou Dynasty What do you mean" I read it again.

On the stone wall, these murals are predominantly black and red in color, with numerous paintings. Almost every area illuminated by a flashlight has them, excluding unseen spots.

The mural's main theme is very eclectic and strange.

There is a man in ancient attire with a hat, women with bare breasts, and children tied upside down on wood. In the center of the picture is a pure white coffin, surrounded by many ragged people kneeling on the ground, looking as if they are worshipping the white coffin.

The entire mural style has a bit of a cult worship vibe to it.

Sun Lao San took one look and said the mural was likely not from the Western Zhou period because the mineral pigments used were unusual. According to common sense, this type of mineral red didn't appear until the later Warring States period in Chu land.

The tomb from the Western Zhou period is not from the Western Zhou period’s murals... This point, no matter how you say it, doesn't make sense.

And who does the white coffin in the mural belong to

So far, no decent funerary objects have been found. Yao Yumen confidently declared that this is a national-level grand tomb even more lavish than the Mawangdui Han Tomb. She even speculated that there are irreplaceable national treasures inside.

Where is the thing

"Lao San, come here quickly!" A mole suddenly shouted.

Several people rushed over to take a look.

Only a strange-style mural appeared in the northwest corner of the stone wall....

After seeing the contents of the mural, all of us, including me, turned pale with fright!

I see.

The fresco, which has some paint peeling off, depicts three men and one woman. The figures are remarkably lifelike. Two of the men appear to be in their forties, the woman is in her thirties, and the last man is significantly younger than the others.

In the mural, these modern people are holding flashlights, gathered around a white coffin! you lot.”“"This hole, you guys have to go down it, my brother and sister definitely won't be going down.""It's okay, you guys were fine just a moment ago. Why are you suddenly arguing" Seeing the ten...
