Chapter 2786: The entrance is...in the tomb!
Lin Ran pulled a strand of hair from his head. This stimulation of his scalp could make his brain more active.
First of all, it is assumed that Qu Hang and others did not know the specific location of the main tomb of Qianling Mausoleum at the beginning.
If it were so easy to find, the main tomb of Qianling would have been visited by countless tomb robbers long ago, and there would be no progress until now.
The other ancient tombs in Qianling have been searched inside and out.
Although most of them have not been fully explored, there are basically traces of various excavations left inside.
"Could it be..." Lin Ran suddenly looked towards a mausoleum in the distance.
Qianling Mausoleum not only has the main tomb, but also has [-] accompanying tombs.
It is also the target of tomb robbers.
However, most of them are not as prominent as Tang Zhongzong.
It should be impossible to dig out cultural relics of the national jade seal level inside.
A possibility suddenly flashed in Lin Ran's mind.
Qu Hang and the others did not originally expect to enter the Qianling Kun Dao, it was completely...
While robbing the tomb, he accidentally entered the main tomb of Qianling Mausoleum!
Although it is just speculation, Lin Ran believes that this possibility is higher than other situations.
"Which tomb will that be?"
A possibility flashed in Lin Ran's mind.
What Lu Yingjie painted may not be the scene on the ground.
It is the open space in front of the entrance of the main tomb in a certain ancient tomb!
He suddenly raised his head and saw the 61st Banchen statue.
The stone statue still stands.
But the head has disappeared.
In the past, tomb robbers came to Qianling with high expectations, but found nothing. Naturally, they were unwilling to leave just now.
It would be too much to take the stone statue away.
They will choose another method that is safer and guarantees income.
E.g...
Smash the head sculpture off and take it away.
Avatars can be sold individually for money.
Because all the heads of the stone sculptures have been smashed off, standing here will feel a bit scary.
Everything you look at is desolate.
These headless stone statues seem to be accusing them of something.
Unfortunately, compared to the bizarre incidents they encountered before, the headless stone statue seemed so normal that they didn't take it to heart. They only thought that the tomb robbers were a little too much and didn't just move the stone away together.
Lin Ran paid attention to these stone statues. Their bodies were facing in different directions, as if they were foreshadowing something.
Lin Ran suddenly thought of something.
Compare it with the simple drawings left by Lu Yingjie.
"I see!"
At first, he thought the pictures above were Lu Yingjie's former companions, 16 of them in total.
At that time, I really didn’t understand. Since it was just to represent companions, it would be enough to draw a large character shape, so why should they be drawn in all directions?
It became clear after comparing it with the stone carvings of these heads.
It turns out that these little people represent these stone sculptures.
The entrance location of Qianling Mausoleum...
at.
Lin Ran came to the largest stone sculpture, stood at his position and looked into the distance.
That's right over there...
Tomb of Prince Zhanghuai!
Lin Ran suddenly realized it and blurted out: "Everyone, I thought of it!"
"The intersection should be in that tomb!"
The air was suddenly quiet.
Everyone looked at each other.
Wang Jinpeng was the first to ask: "Brother Lin, I'm a bit slow."
"Aren't we looking for the tomb of the Lord Qianling?"
"Well, no matter how you look at it, it's a companion tomb."
Others nodded in deep agreement.
Lin Ran looked at everyone's confused looks and smiled lightly.
"Yes, this is where they are smart!"
"Design the entrance into the ancient tomb."
Liu Jingfeng showed an expression of sudden realization.
But he was still puzzled and asked again: "Brother Lin, it is possible for you to say so."
"But Brother Guan said that they disappeared even though they were on land."
"How can we explain this?"
Lin Ran replied: "It starts with these headless stone statues."
"I'm afraid there are mechanisms hidden in these stone statues."
"They probably entered the ancient tomb through the stone statue's mechanism, so they all disappeared without seeing what was going on."
Liu Jingfeng nodded and said, "Then shouldn't we investigate these stone statues?"
"It's not necessary." Lin Ran said, "Fellow Daoist Lu's notes have already pointed out the entrance to the main tomb."
“It’s hard to say where you can reach through the stone statue.”
"And there's a good chance of running into them face to face."
"trust me."
Lin Ran said seriously.
He has already understood the notes left by Lu Yingjie. Rather than taking risks, it is better to choose a safer way to enter Qianling from Kun Dao!
Liu Jingfeng and his entourage naturally couldn't trust Lin Ran more.
Wang Jinpeng was the first to express his stance without thinking much about it.
"Then why don't we hurry up and take a look? What if someone else beats us to it?"
"Correct."
"But we didn't bring any equipment." Huang Hao said.
"Now is not the time to go in." Lin Ran said, "But we probably know where it is. Let's bring some things over in the evening."
Once the Qianling Mausoleum enters, they will not be able to get out for a while. They entered the cemetery as tourists. If they are not seen leaving at night, the administrators of the mausoleum area will definitely send people to search and characterize them. As a tomb robber.
The safest way is to leave first.
Wait until it's late at night and then sneak back quietly.
Everyone agreed with Lin Ran's point of view, but first went to the mausoleum of Prince Zhanghuai to observe the situation, just like ordinary tourists.
Then they swaggered out of the Qianling Management Office. The old man at the gate kept watching them warily and didn't return to the reception room until he watched them leave.
Lin Ran and the others naturally did not show any suspicious side, but returned to the hotel to pack their luggage.
"Qianling Mausoleum is really a unique mausoleum." Lin Ran thought, as the only mausoleum in history where emperors of different kingdoms were buried, Qianling Mausoleum has never been stolen.
In the 21st century, someone surveyed it.
The design of Qianling Mausoleum is very grand. It is more than 600 meters from the tomb entrance to the tomb gate, with a total of 39 steps. They are all filled with stones of uniform specifications. The steps are fixed with iron bolts between the stone strips. Also filled with iron juice.
It is extremely difficult to dig out the steps to enter.
The archaeological team has been unable to enter the Qianling Mausoleum because it is almost impossible to enter without destroying the integrity of the ancient tomb.
The state also protects it, so ordinary tomb robbers have no chance to dig it out.
Compared with the Qianling Mausoleum, which has complete confidentiality, almost all the buildings on the ground have been destroyed.
In addition to the well-preserved Suzaku Gate, the heads of the stone carvings on both sides of Sima Road, which they saw just now, were basically smashed off by tomb robbers.
As for Prince Zhanghuai, his name is Li Xian.
He was the second son of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and was known as a wise king.
