"What is this? It looks weird! The tail is cylindrical and the tip is triangular. Could it be some kind of thing to fix a cable?"
Nangong Manyun asked with doubt in his eyes, sweeping across the wall of the cave in the mountain, showing a little bit of fear on his face.
"This isn't a tool for fixing ropes! It's an iron chisel that's used to dig into mountains and remove large chunks of rock! It's mixed with bronze, so it must have been around a long time ago!"
Old man Jiang Hai was knowledgeable and experienced. He took the tool from the insect singer, looked at it carefully, and analyzed its function.
"Is this thing used for mining?" Brother Chongzi showed a look of realization, and then continued: "If the function of this thing is only for mining! Then the place we came to might be the place where those ancient migrant workers came to dig the mountain rock wall to get stones to build tombs."
"That should be the truth. Look, there are two very obvious gullies here. They should be used to transport stones! Take stones from here and send them to another place for carving! Then put them outside to build tombs, or as raw materials for carving!"
Old man Jiang Hai answered everyone's questions. According to him, this place was probably built during the period between the Qin and Han dynasties.
In such a turbulent environment, in such an almost wild place, the amount of manpower and material resources required to build such a huge mountain tomb is simply unimaginable.
"These bronze chisels should be very valuable, right? If we take them outside, we can definitely sell them for a good price!"
"That's right... This bronze chisel has a very profound historical value in the field of scientific research. In the eyes of some folk collectors, these things have more collection value than works of art! If you can take it out, it won't be surprising to sell it for a sky-high price."
Old man Jiang Hai explained softly and threw the bronze date to Brother Chongzi.
"This thing weighs two or three pounds. The green copper rust on the outside is the most valuable thing! You have to think about it... Who are you going to let carry so much heavy stuff!"
Brother Chongzi opened his mouth and his expression became a little heavy.
There is no denying that this bronze product from the Qin and Han dynasties is definitely a valuable item, but... it also requires someone to be able to carry it!
"This path is very deep and seems to have no end! Let's speed up and get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows what strange things will happen at night!"
Taoist Zi Jin has never had any interest in these copper and iron objects. He is more concerned about how to leave here faster.
"Yes... We encountered all kinds of troubles before, and most of them happened at night! Now we should seize the opportunity to leave here quickly. Once we encounter any trouble again, it will not be so easy to leave!" Mr. Fei also reminded!
The few of them did not hesitate any longer. Brother Chongzi asked his men to collect as many of these good things as possible. Old Master Jiang Hai smiled without saying anything. Although the bronze chisel was valuable, the tomb of an emperor was right in front of them. How much could these things be worth? Let Brother Chongzi go and grab them. Anyway, that was not what he wanted.
Finally, everyone moved forward quickly along the passage. Finally, the passage was no longer filled with eerie and terrifying potholes, and some special buildings began to appear!
First there were some very beautiful stone carvings that looked quite exquisite. Then a tall gray-white stone door appeared in front of him!
Upon seeing such a magnificent ancient object, everyone, who had been feeling a little agitated, became excited.
Especially Brother Chongzi, who laughed loudly and rushed to the door first.
This stone gate is very tall, occupying the entire cave from the top to the end, and it is carved with very gorgeous patterns. It is hard to imagine that in such a place, which looks dilapidated and deserted everywhere, there is such a magnificent stone gate. This is probably a route leading to the emperor's tomb.
Brother Chongzi took his two men and immediately went to push the door. He tried his best, but the white jade door didn't move at all.
Mr. Jiang Hai came to the door and looked at it carefully for a while, then reached out and grabbed a round ball on the right side. The round ball was in the mouth of a lucky beast in the carving.
Old man Jiang Hai pressed down gently, and there was a crackling sound. It seemed as if something was broken behind the entire stone door, which meant that the mechanism was working.
In just five or six seconds, the stone door had quietly opened a gap without any effort being made to push it.
Brother Chongzi and others were impatient and pushed the door hard. A large empty room appeared in front of everyone.
This is obviously a tomb-like structure. The cave seems to be hollowed out, and the surrounding walls are carved with many gorgeous patterns.
And in the middle of the cave, where the flat stone ground extended, a huge coffin was placed.
This huge coffin was about five or six meters long, standing there like a city wall.
Moreover, there is a very exquisite artistic creation on the coffin. Two huge green snakes surround the entire coffin, as if protecting the person in the coffin. These two giant python-like guys look so lifelike.
Especially those eyes, which were inlaid with emeralds and were as big as an ordinary person's fist. They looked lifelike at first glance, as if a monster lived there.
This scared the few people who had just entered the room, but after taking a closer look, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, what a magnificent miracle this is! In that era, people actually built such a magnificent carved cave. I can guarantee that if all the carvings in this place can be known to people outside, it will likely improve the artistic level of the entire world."
Mr. Fei spoke in a flowery manner, expressing his approval of these patterns and carvings.
"Everyone, I don't know what you are doing here, and I don't want to care! But we are different!"
Brother Chongzi turned around and said to everyone, "You are here to investigate, but we are here to find the truth! We can earn some money by the way, so we will open this coffin! Let's see what is inside. I don't think you will object, right?"
Brother Chongzi had a smile on his face and seemed easy to talk to.
But no one said a word to him.
Mr. Fei said nothing. He was originally from the research institute and would never agree with what Brother Chongzi did.
But now he has left the team, and everything he experienced in the illusion made him dream again of the experience of traveling through the tombs with his master.
