Volume 1 Chapter 402 Lycoris radiata in the main room

Seeing this, Wu Yuanliang immediately reprimanded Liu Zhen: "Liu Zhen, you are considered a leader in archaeology, why are you still so rough? Can you just touch the murals in the ancient tombs randomly? If you had touched them just now, you would have directly destroyed the structure of the murals. Fortunately, Mr. Li stopped you."

Liu Zhen explained: "Teacher, this masked woman is so beautiful, I couldn't help but..." Seeing that his teacher's face was getting uglier, he lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong. I'm sorry."

Wu Yuanliang nodded to Li Tian, ​​meaning that he had reprimanded Liu Zhen, and Liu Zhen knew he was wrong and asked Li Tian to forgive him.

Li Tian's motivation was not to protect the mural, but he didn't want his wife Gu Ruoxi to be touched by anyone, even if it was just a mural, even if they just looked exactly the same.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhou, remember, we are doing archaeology, not destroying things. Don't act rashly. If heaven hadn't stolen the silk book, this ancient tomb would have been found and destroyed by heaven at any time, and we wouldn't be here at all." Wang Haisheng said seriously.

Zhou Tienan nodded.

After this little incident, the group continued to move forward.

Passing by an attic, I found that it was full of bronze objects, such as jars, horns, jugs, and hus, etc.

Any one of these bronze artifacts could be worth a fortune.

But Wang Haisheng and his companions were not tomb robbers. They had professional skills and only took a quick glance at the bronze artifacts before continuing to move towards the main room.

Li Tian became more and more curious about the identity of the tomb owner: "Professor Wang, through those ancient characters, can you tell who the tomb owner is?"

Wang Haisheng frowned and said, "I just looked at it, and it seems to be an ancient text that has never appeared before. I suspect that there was a gap in history, which led to the loss of this ancient text."

He has been doing archaeology for most of his life and has seen all kinds of texts. He can even say that he can read any document found in an ancient tomb. This shows his strong confidence in his expertise. However, the ancient texts in this tomb left him confused and he could not understand a single word. If it were not for the murals, he would not have been able to confirm that the tomb owner was the masked woman.

A historical gap?

Lost ancient characters?

Li Tian was extremely puzzled. Could it be that China really had an ancient era that, for some reason, disappeared in the long river of Chinese history?

"After I go back, I will study it carefully to see if I can decipher the meaning of these ancient characters." Wang Haisheng said.

In other words, he would try his best to interpret it, and if there were any results, he would share them with Li Tian.

"Professor Wang, let's add each other's contact information." Li Tian said.

"Okay." Wang Haisheng said with a smile.

The group continued to move forward. After walking about 300 meters, a faint red light suddenly appeared in front of them, and the fragrance became stronger.

"What's going on?" Wu Yuanliang was shocked.

In front is the main chamber, where the coffin of the tomb owner is stored.

We are seven or eight meters underground here, how come there is light?

Is it a perpetual lamp?

But the eternal lamp had been extinguished long ago, the eternal lamp in the front room was like that, it was impossible for the one in the main room to still be on. Even if it was on, the light of the eternal lamp would not be red.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult... Could it be that the owner of the tomb is still alive, and she lit some kind of candle?" Zhou Tienan's legs were shaking, and his voice was trembling.

"It has been at least two thousand years. How could the tomb owner still be alive? If she is really alive, she is definitely not a human, but a ghost." Liu Zhen was also extremely nervous.

"You two should stop talking nonsense. There are no ghosts in this world. Everything can be explained by scientific methods." Wang Haisheng said to reassure himself.

If a professional archaeologist has serious feudal ideas and believes in ghosts and gods, then he should not work in this field, because archaeology means dealing with the dead.

He had encountered many things in the ancient tomb, such as mass graves, mass burial pits, and living human figurines, but he had never encountered a ghost.

Li Tian didn't say anything and walked forward.

He wanted to see the true appearance of the tomb owner.

Of course, I was more or less scared. If she was really alive, she would be a female monster who had lived for thousands of years.

Wang Haisheng calmed himself down and followed. Li Tian felt an overwhelming sense of security, which gave him strong confidence to follow him without fear of anything.

Wu Yuanliang, Liu Zhen, and Zhou Tienan hesitated for a while and then followed cautiously.

When we got to the end of the passage and looked around, everyone was stunned...

What the hell!

There is no such thing as a female monster that has lived for thousands of years!

What the eyes see is a sea of ​​red flowers.

There are no leaves, only stems, and on top of each stem is an umbrella-shaped flower. The lobes of the perianth are narrowly lanceolate, and each flower looks like a flower from the world of monsters, gorgeous and gorgeous, and glows on its own. The light red light illuminates the main room of about three or four hundred square meters, so there is no need for a flashlight.

"Is this... Red Spider Lily?" Wu Yuanliang was shocked.

Li Tian frowned: "Red spider lily? Is there really such a flower?"

His understanding of the red spider lily is that it is a flower that blooms in the world of the dead and does not exist in the real world.

Wang Haisheng nodded: "Red spider lily is also known as Lycoris radiata, but the red spider lily here seems to be a little different."

"Isn't that different?" Li Tian asked.

Wu Yuanliang said: "Ordinary red spider lilies do not glow on their own, and do not have such a strong fragrance."

Wang Haisheng: "Yes, this should be a mutated red spider lily."

Zhou Tienan and Liu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. It was not the tomb owner who lit the candles. The light red light was emitted by these red spider lilies. Science was indeed the truth of this world.

Wang Haisheng was inspired by the scene and said: "There are many legends about the red spider lily. The most famous one is a sad and beautiful love story. It is said that in ancient times there was a man named Bi and a woman named An. God did not allow them to meet, but they admired each other. Until one day, the two met secretly and fell in love. They decided to be together forever."

"But in the end, because they violated the laws of heaven, they were cursed with a very cruel curse. They were turned into the flower and leaves of a plant. The flower bloomed but the leaves were not visible, and the leaves grew but the flower was not visible. They were destined to never see each other in their lifetime. This flower is called the Red Spider Lily."

Listening to Wang Haisheng's words, Li Tian's eyes involuntarily looked towards the white jade coffin in the center of the sea of ​​flowers.

He knew that the masked woman in the mural was lying in this coffin.

So many red flowers growing here, could it be a metaphor that this masked woman had a tragic love story in her life?

No matter what, Li Tian walked towards the coffin. He wanted to open the coffin to see the true face of the masked woman. Even if it turned into a skeleton, Wang Haisheng and others could restore the true face of the masked woman through computer technology.
