Chapter 152 Chapter 152
The tomb passage ahead is not very long. Just as the professor said when he observed before, the tomb chamber they are in is already the tomb chamber where the guardians of the underground palace are located. Further back is the main tomb.
After passing through a long tomb passage, they came to a very tall and spacious room. There was a wide stone pillar in the middle of the room, and various pictures and texts were carved on the pillars. The professor excitedly shuttled between the stone pillars. If Shamon had not already gone to the main tomb chamber, he would even want to squat here and carefully study the contents above.
No, stay calm.
After walking through this room, you will come to a very tall door. This is the palace door of the underground palace where the owner of the tomb is located.
At this time, the door had been opened a crack, just enough for a person to pass sideways.
This was the first time Thor saw such a majestic gate. He looked up to see the top of the tomb, but when he saw what was on the door, his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly grabbed the professor's arm and pointed to the top of his head with trembling fingers.
Following the direction Thor pointed, the professor saw the huge rock pressing on the door. At this time, the rock and the slightly open door maintained a perfect balance. If the person opening the door did not pay attention or was careless, he would be crushed to death by the falling rock immediately.
"My God, this mechanism is truly amazing..." The professor's tone was filled with amazement.
"Is it time to be surprised now?" Thor said with a tearful face, "Professor, should we go back?"
"Okay, Thor, you step back." The professor pushed Thor to the back to ensure that he would not be harmed if the boulder fell. He then touched the door with his hand, leaned forward slightly, and tried to squeeze in by sticking close to the door and the door frame.
The professor was quite old and a little overweight. In order to fit into such a small gap, he had to take a deep breath and suck in his belly.
When his clothes rubbed slightly against the door, Thor saw that the huge stone on the door seemed to be shaking. He was so scared that he almost covered his eyes. Fortunately, the professor passed through safely.
"I don't recommend you come in, Thor." The professor said, standing in the tomb. "You are still outside... Oh my God!!!"
"This is simply too beautiful, so many funerary objects. Is this a chariot? I have never seen such a big chariot, and it is made of pure gold."
From inside the tomb door, the professor's exclamation of praise was heard.
"Professor?" Thor asked with his eyes wide open, "What did you see?"
"It's a mountain of gold, Thor." The professor inside the tomb said, "All the tools that the king can use in the wild are here, including the king's chariot, the king's weapons, and large tables and chairs. My God, this is simply... No wonder people call the ancient country of Mississippi the kingdom of gold, it's so beautiful. And this puppet, I have never seen such a huge puppet, it holds a weapon and has a jackal head, it is the guardian of the treasure."
The professor's voice became increasingly distant.
"Professor?" Thor's curiosity was aroused, because the tombs discovered in the ancient country of Misi were all robbed, and most of the existing burial objects in museums today were worthless. Thor must have a strong interest in archaeology if he could study it, and with his family background, he didn't need to consider making a living in this profession.
Although he was very timid, he really wanted to see with his own eyes what the most original ancient tomb looked like.
But...he is a little afraid of death.
Thor hesitated, and it was obvious that the audience in the live broadcast room was more anxious than him.
As early as ten minutes ago, a live broadcast room of Weird Live Streaming discovered an unexcavated tomb of the ancient Mixi Kingdom, which became popular on websites all over the world. Many people came to see what the real tomb of the ancient Mixi Kingdom looked like.
The live broadcast camera is divided into two. Khufu and his tomb robbers are trapped in the maze of tomb passages again. There is nothing to see, unlike Thor and the professor, who have already arrived at the entrance of the main tomb.
The audience watching the live broadcast are not only curious people, but also people who want to understand the weird, but more are people from the archaeological circle, especially some authorities in the archaeological community. They have devoted almost their entire lives to the cause of archaeology and care more about history than their lives.
So they couldn't understand why Thor, an archaeology student, was already at the main entrance of the ancient tomb, but hesitated to move forward just because of a huge rock that had not fallen yet.
The worst thing is that the camera in this live broadcast room seemed to be following Thor, not the professor, so the audience in the live broadcast room only heard the professor's surprised voice but couldn't see what was going on inside.
【Go in! 】
[Please! ]
[This... after all, it's a life-or-death gamble. If a rock falls, it's certain death. It's better not to force people to go in like this.]
【He said this as if he could see our comments.】
[Isn’t he from the Department of Archaeology? Why would he care about his life when he’s already doing archaeology?]
[The one in front of me, archaeology is not like going to the front line, don’t make it sound so dangerous. ]
[There are still many dangers. First of all, let's talk about the tombs. Ancient tombs are full of traps. No matter whether it is the ancient tombs of China or the ancient country of Misi, neither is friendly. The ancient country of Misi plays with boulders, traps, pits and poisons, while China plays with archery, mercury and fine sand. In addition, there are also tests given by nature, such as lack of oxygen, methane, and viruses. Now there is one more thing, called weirdness. ]
【Suddenly I feel that this profession is very dangerous.】
[Yes, especially when exploring lost ruins, once you reach the restricted area, don’t even think about coming back.]
【Nowadays, most archaeologists end up being tour guides.】
[Ah, this major is a little difficult to find a job...]
[You guys, do you know how groundbreaking it is to discover a complete ancient Mixian tomb? We can fully understand the cultural history of the ancient Mixian%¥¥……]
[Look, he's going in! ! ]
Thor meditated outside for about half a minute, which was not a long time, but in the dark catacombs, every second seemed as long as a year.
He could feel the cold sweat on his forehead and could clearly hear his own breathing. The professor inside the tomb door was silent, and the entire underground tomb was as quiet as if he was the only one left.
Thor was a little scared, so he asked, "Professor, are you still there?"
"Hmm..." The professor replied vaguely, seemingly nonchalantly, "Yes, I'm here. I'll take another look, just one look..."
Looking up at the huge stone stuck on the door, Thor took a deep breath and finally decided to act. This was probably the bravest moment in his life. The second was when he discovered the entrance to the tomb and agreed to go down to the tomb with the professor.
He took a deep breath, leaned sideways and squeezed through the crack of the door, being very careful with every move, trying not to touch anything on either side. Fortunately, he was much thinner than the professor, so he could make sure that he didn't touch anything in the front or back, and entered safely, even though the professor barely passed through.
As soon as I came in, I was dazzled by the golden funerary objects. Under the light, these funerary objects were as golden as they had been for thousands of years, without any fading.
The professor was squatting on a large piece of furniture, observing the patterns on it with a magnifying glass.
[I’m going——]
[So much gold! I got rich.]
【Why are you posting it? It's not yours. Just take a look at it. 】
[The king of ancient Mixi is awesome. I want to travel through time and space to become the king of ancient Mixi.]
[I advise you not to do the above. For some reason, most of the kings of the ancient Mixi Kingdom did not live long.]
[There are other reasons. You can just say it is a genetic defect. Who told them to maintain the purity of their bloodline? Marriage must be internalized. The children born in this way will either die or have various diseases. It is very painful.]
[Sure enough, the ancient Chinese rule of not marrying people with the same surname is more scientific. ]
【Hmm... indeed.】
【But cousins can marry each other, which is not a good thing. 】
[It’s best to have five generations apart, right? 】
[Anyway, it’s not possible within three generations, it’s too close. ]
"Professor?" Thor walked up and called him.
The professor immediately came back to his senses: "Huh? How did you get in?"
"Where's Shamon?"
The professor came to his senses and said, "Damn it, I forgot about him."
At this time, the tomb shook slightly again. The professor immediately supported the burial objects and then looked forward: "Okay, let's go to the innermost tomb and take a look."
This room should be the king’s treasure room. After passing here, there is a small room, which is also a place to store treasures. Then further back is where the coffin of the tomb owner is located.
There were no doors between the rooms, so it was easy to get to the innermost part. As soon as they entered the tomb, they saw three people and a strange person standing inside.
No, to be more precise, the four people in the room are not human.
After seeing the situation in the main tomb chamber, the comment section was once again boiling with excitement.
【Bai Yixin!!!】
[I was wondering where this guy went before, it turns out he is here!!]
[There is also a white-robed priest. I saw him in the atlas. His name is Sui.]
[This name is so strange. ]
[I won’t ask how you translated it there, why are they here? ]
[Why is it that the priest doesn't know, but Bai Yixin... um... I have a guess. ]
"There are quite a few guests." Bai Yixin held a golden snake-head cane in his hand. It was placed in the corner of the wall and was one of the burial objects. "But no matter who comes, you are not allowed to touch anything here. Not a single one is allowed."
He narrowed his eyes and warned Thor and the professor: "These are all my goods, you know."
Thor: ...
[I knew it!!!]
[So that's how it is. Is this how all the weird merchants get their goods? I've learned something new.]
[Does this statement sound a bit like robbery? ]
[He comes to purchase goods, so can we buy first-hand burial objects from him later? Cultural relics from thousands of years ago.]
[Ordinary people should forget about it. The price offered by the weird merchants will definitely not be low. 】
【I wonder what the Mississippi government will think after seeing this. 】
[What else can I think? And the current Missi Kingdom has nothing to do with the ancient Missi Kingdom. To be exact, this thing does not belong to them.]
【At least it was unearthed here. 】
The professor took a deep breath and said, "Sir, this is not appropriate. The things here do not belong to anyone..."
Before he finished speaking, the monster in this ancient tomb screamed, roared and rushed towards the curse priest, but was knocked away by the curse priest with his scepter.
A pile of burial objects were knocked over strangely, and metal products fell to the ground with clanging sounds.
"Ah - be gentle." Bai Yixin rushed over and picked up the burial objects, "These are all important to me...ah, this one is useless, don't do it." After saying that, he threw one of them behind him, and it landed right in front of the professor. The professor widened his eyes, rushed over to take the things, and touched it with heartache.
"I don't want all of them." Bai Yixin waved a small knife with a golden handle at the professor. "I only want things with magical powers. They are the best products. I don't care about the rest."
