Volume 1 Chapter 401 Mural of a Masked Woman

Zhao Han, Nangong Huan'er and Lin Lan stayed up there and did not go down into the cave.

"Have they all gone down?" Li Tian asked.

"Yes, let's explore the way for the main force first." Nangong Huan'er replied.

Li Tian came to the cave entrance and took a look. Seven or eight meters below, there were several flashlights flickering.

There are many grooves dug on the cave wall, which is convenient for people to go up and down.

I heard a few sounds of smashing the wall from below, and it was obvious that the tomb wall was finally broken open. A faint fragrance wafted up from the hole that was dug out.

"What is this fragrance? Is it normal to have such a fragrance in an ancient tomb?" Li Tian frowned and asked the two girls.

Nangong Huan'er and Lin Lan also showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

"I've never encountered such a situation before." Lin Lan said.

Nangong Huan'er nodded: "It's really strange." She shouted to the bottom of the cave, "Professor, is there any problem?"

"What's the problem?" Wang Haisheng's unpleasant voice came from below.

Li Tian couldn't suppress his curiosity, and told Zhao Han to be on high alert and to fire a warning shot if anything happened, so that he would know immediately.

After giving the instructions, he also went down the cave.

Wang Haisheng and his team are indeed professionals. The entrance to the cave is small, but the space below is very large, and can accommodate five or six people without feeling crowded.

When he went down, Wang Haisheng used instruments to detect the air quality in the tomb through the hole in the tomb.

Everyone acquiesced to his arrival without any objection.

"The oxygen content is relatively low. We can knock another hole there to create convection. This will allow the air in the tomb to be quickly replaced." Wang Haisheng commanded.

"yes."

Zhou Tienan then carried out his orders.

Li Tian took Liu Zhen's flashlight and shone it into the hole.

I saw that the floor of the ancient tomb was covered with a layer of animal skins, there were eternal lamps placed all around, and the sun, moon and stars were engraved on the top of the tomb.

"Ancient tombs are generally divided into the tomb passage, corridor, apse, side chamber, front chamber, main chamber and back chamber. This should be the front chamber, and that is the corridor. After passing through the corridor, you should be able to reach the apse. Going further, it is the main chamber. The main chamber is where the coffin is stored, and it is also the resting place of the tomb owner." Seeing that Li Tian seemed to be interested in archaeology, Wang Haisheng came up to teach Li Tian some knowledge about ancient tombs.

"It's quite big." Li Tiandao.

Wang Haisheng smiled and said, "This is a relatively small scale. The ancient tombs of kings, princes and generals in later periods are almost like moving the above-ground mansions underground. The courtyards, ponds, pavilions, rockeries, etc. are built one-to-one according to a mansion."

"Do you know what this smell is?"

Li Tian was very obsessed with this fragrance, because he always felt that it was the body odor of a woman. When he smelled it, the graceful figure of an ancient beauty always appeared in his mind. Of course, her face was blurry.

Wang Haisheng frowned and said, "Maybe a lot of spices were put into this ancient tomb when it was built. The ancient tomb is very well sealed, so there is still fragrance after more than 2,000 years."

"You mean, this is the smell of spices from more than two thousand years ago?" Li Tian was stunned.

Is this scientific?

In ancient times, spices were generally made from flower petals, and they still have fragrance after more than two thousand years. This craftsmanship is probably impossible to achieve even in modern times.

"This is just my guess. We'll know what's going on when we go in and take a look," said Wang Haisheng.

About twenty minutes later, I used an instrument to test the air quality in the ancient tomb again and found that it was fine.

Under Wang Haisheng's arrangement, everyone went in one after another.

There were many incomprehensible ancient characters engraved on the stone wall, so Wang Haisheng quickly took pictures of them and took them back to study.

Li Tian also looked around and felt that this place was like a woman's chamber, very tidy and clean. In addition, the real ancient tomb was indeed different from the description in tomb-robbing novels. There were not so many agencies at all. This was why Wang Haisheng and his men dared to break in.

In addition to ancient characters, there are also murals.

The murals were so lifelike that Li Tian was quickly drawn into them.

These murals depict a tribe that is always being harassed by some kind of strange beast. The people in the tribe are living in dire straits because of the existence of the strange beast. In the front, a family is playing games happily, while in the back, a father and mother are being eaten bloody by the strange beast, leaving the child crying helplessly.

The people of the tribe united to fight against the strange beast, but they were defeated.

Until a masked woman appeared. The masked woman could fly in the air. She fought with the strange beast for several murals and actually tamed the strange beast. From then on, the masked woman was worshipped by the tribesmen.

Li Tian's gaze subconsciously lingered on the masked woman in the mural for a long time. Although she was masked, the mural was lifelike and he could still feel that this was a woman with a peerless beauty, that figure, that temperament, and that look... wait, eyes?

Speaking of eyes, he immediately moved closer to take a closer look.

Upon closer inspection, my heart trembled violently.

Isn’t this his wife Gu Ruoxi?

He quickly took out his cell phone and opened a photo of Gu Ruoxi. Then he covered his face with his hands to simulate the masked woman in the mural, and then placed it at the same height for comparison.

This comparison made it even more certain that the masked woman looked exactly like his wife Gu Ruoxi. Her eyes were clear and sharp. It wasn't a resemblance, but a carbon copy.

Li Tian's brain short-circuited.

"Mr. Li, are you looking at these murals?" Wang Haisheng's voice rang in my ears.

Li Tian turned around and quickly put away his phone: "Yes, these murals are very well painted."

"Generally, the murals in ancient tombs record the life of the tomb owner. Judging from these murals, the owner of this ancient tomb should be the masked woman above without a doubt." Wang Haisheng said while looking at the murals.

Li Tian nodded and forced down the doubts in his heart. After all, it was just a mural. Maybe he just thought it looked like it, but in reality, it didn't look like it at all.

After exploring the front room for a while, the group headed towards the main room.

When the mural of the masked woman appeared in the corridor again, Li Tian broke out in a cold sweat. The mural of the masked woman in the corridor was almost painted in a one-to-one ratio, and was exactly the same size as a real person.

If the mural in the front room just now was too small to be recognized and identified, then when this life-size mural came out, Li Tian was stunned. Standing face to face with the mural, he felt that it was Gu Ruoxi wearing ancient costume, covering her face with a veil, standing in front of him, looking at him arrogantly and coldly.

It's exactly the same!

Is there really a six realms of reincarnation?

Is this the previous life of his wife Gu Ruoxi?

Li Tian couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"She is so beautiful! If she takes off her veil, she will be a beauty that will captivate the whole country." Liu Zhen was so mesmerized that he couldn't help but reach out to touch the mural of the masked woman.

"Don't touch!" Li Tianchao shouted at him coldly, with a strong tone of warning in his words.

Liu Zhen immediately retracted his hand and dared not move again.
