Chapter 2083: Unknown Civilization
At least you can't shine a flashlight directly to the bottom, and water refracts.
There is no place to drain water around, unlike the previous tomb of the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, where water can be diverted into the abyss.
If there is no way to release the water, there is naturally only one way to get to the lake.
Just dive in.
But seeing how dirty the lake was, and thinking of the black fog from before, Wang Jinpeng had no idea of going down.
Lin Ran was not in a hurry. He looked carefully at the steps inside the lake.
This lake water may have been introduced from outside, or it may have been formed by groundwater seeping through the cave after thousands of years of vicissitudes.
The only thing that can be seen is that a lake has been formed here.
What is at the end of the steps has become a secret.
Lin Ran felt like he suddenly realized that he was looking at the corpse just now.
This person probably also wants to go into the lake.
However, he encountered certain circumstances in the lake, which led to his accidental death.
"Do you want me to go down and have a look?" Although Wang Jinpeng was reluctant, he was the best among the team.
"Don't worry." Lin Ran felt there was something fishy about this matter.
If water from this lake enters, there is a high probability of bacterial infection. After all, this lake has existed for who knows how many years. There are corpses next to it, and it itself exudes a foul smell.
Lin Ran suddenly thought of something and came to the corpse just now to check his clothes.
He took out a note from his pocket.
Lin Ran carefully unfolded the note, and there were several words written on it, which turned out to be written in small seal script.
Unfortunately, because it was soaked by water, the fonts on it were blurred.
Lin Ran's eyes focused on the abrupt stone pillar on the other side of the lake.He realized that their initial attention had been drawn to the corpse and they had ignored this important clue.
They walked to the other side of the lake and looked carefully at the stone pillar.There are some ancient symbols and patterns carved on the stone pillars, which seem to hide some kind of secret.
Lin Ran got closer to the stone pillar and found that these symbols could be pressed with the buttons outside.
And every time you touch it, you can hear very clear music.
Gong Shangjiao Zheng Yu.
Lin Ran recalled the note just now. Although the symbols on it could no longer be seen clearly, he judged that it was music score!
He touched the symbols on the stone pillar according to the music score on the note.
Suddenly, I saw the stone pillar starting to sink.
It turns out to be a real agency!
Lin Ran was a little excited, but also a little scared.
Because he saw that the water in the lake began to ripple, the shore of the lake began to tilt, and the lake water suddenly surged towards their location.
"Come here quickly!" Lin Ran shouted to the others, hugging Shi Zhu tightly at the same time.
As the shore began to tilt, the water in the lake began to surge like a flood.
The corpses on the shore were washed away directly by the lake. If there were no stone pillars standing here, they would also be washed away by the lake.
It lasted a full minute.
They all felt that their feet were soaked, and the lake had almost been drained.
Now there is only two or three meters away, and you can walk down the steps.
At the end of the steps, there is a stone gate, but there are many runes on Shimen Mountain, the same as what you just saw.
Having already reached this point, they naturally will not give up.
Lin Ran told Wang Jinpeng the method of pressing the mechanism and asked Wang Jinpeng to dive directly to the bottom of the lake.
"Goooooooo"
As the door was opened, the lake water was completely sucked in.
Wang Jinpeng vomited violently on the side, "This water is really dirty!"
Seeing the lake being drained, they also saw the scene at the bottom of the lake before their eyes!
Lin Ran and the others immediately walked down, and a huge space appeared in front of them.
Because the remaining lake water poured in, the water was up to their ankles.
The space in front of me is so huge that I can't even see the end with a flashlight.
There are also murals painted on the surrounding walls.
In the space, there is also a huge statue!
It was about three meters high. Lin Ran raised his flashlight to observe. The black statue had a ferocious face, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
It turned out to be carved from blue and black stone slabs.
This statue has the head of a bull and has an unusually strong body.
Lin Ran immediately thought of a word - tauren.
Wang Jinpeng was sipping water and taking photos of the surrounding area with a flashlight.
I found that this was not the only room, there were some square openings around it that looked like doors.
The place where they are should be a hall.
"What kind of statue is this?" Liu Jingfeng felt panicked when he saw the black stone sculpture in front of him.
Even a well-informed person like him found the shape of the stone sculptures too scary.
At least in China, I have never heard of using a tauren as a totem.
Lin Ran also felt a little strange, but if this statue could be taken out, it would definitely fetch a good price.
They may have discovered an unknown civilization underground.
Lin Ran looked at the murals around him again. The content painted on these murals was completely incomprehensible to Lin Ran.
Most of the murals I have seen before depict the life of the tomb owner.
There are no people on this mural, only some plants, just like an ordinary decorative mural.
Lin Ran said: "Okay, don't study this now, let's hurry up and find the exit."
They also saw the small door next to it and planned to explore it from the left first.
When I came to the hole on the left, I walked in and found that there was a narrow space inside.
But it was obviously a burial chamber.
There is a stone table in the middle, with bottles and jars scattered around, some made of bronze and some made of pottery, all of which are daily necessities.
Lin Ran looked at these things and found that the workmanship could only be described as rough.
But it feels like these things have existed for a long time, because the clay used is just like when humans first started to master the art of pottery.
When Wang Jinpeng saw the burial objects, he became excited instantly. He picked up a bronze vessel and prepared to study it.
But just as he picked up the bronze, there was a rumbling sound in the room.
Wang Jinpeng was so frightened that he quickly threw away the bronze in his hand.
But fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and nothing changed inside.
"Be careful, fat man." Huang Hao was also frightened by Wang Jinpeng's actions. Who knows if there are other mechanisms here.
Just at the moment of shock, Lin Ran noticed something.
It turned out that there was a huge wooden box placed under a pile of pottery.
Lin Ran carefully placed all the pottery on the ground, and then motioned to Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning to drag the box out.
The box is heavy and has a copper lock on it.
Xu Ning picked up the knife and slashed at the lock.
The lock was obviously very rusty, and it was broken open after just two or three clicks.
This tomb is at the bottom of the lake, and the humidity is so high.
Unexpectedly, the straw inside the wooden box was still dry.
