Chapter 897: There is a problem
There is no information about the owner of the ancient tomb on the stone tablet, which is really strange.
"Lin Ran has never heard of building a tomb to look like a torture chamber.
The tomb owner's reluctance could only be read from the inscription, but there was no other information. Lin Ran was very disappointed.
"Brother Lin, I thought you could read some useful information." Huang Hao had nothing to do and came to Lin Ran's side.
Lin Ran looked at him strangely and asked, "Have you found anything else?"
Huang Hao usually wouldn't talk to him unless there was something special.
"No, this tomb is too difficult for me." Huang Hao smiled awkwardly. His Feng Shui knowledge was completely useless here.
"I originally thought there was some important information on the inscription." Huang Hao said, "What a pity. I heard you mentioned Yuan Tan just now. Is he Yuan Shao's son?"
"Yes." Lin Ran and the others did not deliberately avoid others when they were talking. Everyone leaned quietly next to the stone monument and naturally heard their conversation.
"Well, in the Han tombs we have visited before, the inscriptions usually record a lot of information, such as who built the tomb..."
Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, he really didn't know about this.
"It's like this. In ancient times, when emperors built mausoleums, the people they appointed were usually high-ranking royal officials. After all, being responsible for building imperial mausoleums is an extremely serious matter."
"The royal family attaches great importance to etiquette, so they have erected a stone tablet. The name of the tomb owner must be on it, even if it is the inscription you mentioned."
"The purpose of erecting a stone tablet is to let future generations know the owner of the ancient tomb..."
Lin Ran didn't know why, "Brother Huang, do you think there is something wrong with my interpretation?"
He didn't understand why Huang Hao mentioned this to him.
"No, we all believe in Brother Lin's ability." Huang Hao said, "But there is another situation where the name will not be engraved on the stone tablet. He obviously does not want his name to be known to others."
"So I concluded that it was definitely not Yuan Tan, but a person whose name was deliberately hidden."
"Only the emperor can do this. Yuan Tan was killed by Cao Cao himself. Do you think they would go to great lengths to build him such a luxurious mausoleum and carve a stone tablet full of hatred for him? "
When he said this, Lin Ran suddenly became enlightened.
The hatred on the stone tablet has already poured out of the tomb. If it was Yuan Tan who died under Cao Cao, how could he have the ability to build the ancient tomb.
"So I think..." Huang Hao lowered his voice, pretending to smile on the surface, but actually gritted his teeth and said, "That Shen Yi is simply misleading us. He is so eager to ask us to open the stone tablet, maybe there is something buried underneath. Holding something terrible."
Because Lin Ran had been thinking about the team, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Huang Hao was there to remind him.
However, he originally thought that there should be a passage under the stone monument, and there should be an underground river filled with Houttuynia cordata.
Otherwise, they would not be able to smell such a strong fishy smell outside the stone wall.
But strange to say, they could smell a strong fishy smell through the small cracks in the stone wall.
After entering the tomb, I felt nothing at all.
Could it be that there was some kind of creature inside that took the initiative to hide its scent after knowing they came in?
If it were before, Lin Ran would definitely not consider this direction.
But after seeing the monsters outside, Lin Ran wouldn't be surprised if anything strange happened inside.
"What you said makes sense." Lin Ran immediately shouted to Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning, "Wait a moment."
They had been digging for more than ten minutes, but the stone slabs in the room were very hard and the soil underneath was also very solid. They thought they could dig a robbery hole easily, but now they realized they were overthinking it.
"It's so strange. The soil here is so hard, as if it has been stepped on deliberately. There are also hard substances such as cement in it." Wang Jinpeng wiped his sweat and expressed his confusion.
As a member of the team, he has dug soil and opened a certain number of coffins. Practice makes perfect and he can make basic judgments.
"You guys take a rest first." Lin Ran said to Wang Jinpeng. He raised his head and looked at the chains around him.
I was also wondering, what are these chains used for?
Could it be that the owner of the tomb was really just a lover of torture instruments and filled his tomb with chains?
The entire space was covered with iron chains as thick as arms, and the locations where the iron chains connected were actually locked with special torture devices.
Locks with this structure were used to imprison prisoners during the Eastern Han Dynasty. The internal structure is very complex and is extremely difficult to unlock without a key.
If you look carefully, all the iron chains are connected to the side of the stone monument.
A huge spider web structure was formed. After Huang Hao reminded him, Lin Ran felt more and more that this place should be used to hold some kind of dangerous prisoners!
Think again of the biological weapons and the contents on the stone tablets that the treasure hunt will look for.
Is it...
Lin Ran lay on the ground, wanting to hear if there were any strange sounds underground.
He was close to the ground, and there was indeed the gurgling sound of water underground.
However, it seems that there are still disturbed sounds.
"There is indeed something down here!" Lin Ran said, and then Guan Yun grabbed Shen Yi's collar and cursed: "You kid, do you want to harm us?"
Shen Yi glared back angrily and said, "I have never gone down there, but if you really want to find the treasure inside, you must open it."
Lin Ran felt that what he said made sense, but he was still a little confused.
"You said before that after your team members drank the potion, they turned into monsters with long arms and a strong desire for blood, right?"
"Yeah." Shen Yi nodded, "As long as you have a gun, it's easy to deal with them."
Guan Yun sneered and said: "You are too naive. I am not an army, how can I have so many bullets?"
Ask him to let go of Shen Yi, this kid is quite honest.
"You have the final say whether to open it or not." Shen Yi said, "But the archaeological team will definitely not give us reinforcements. After we go out, they will also put us under house arrest."
"That depends on whether they have the ability." Now that he knew it was not a ghost, Liu Jingfeng became more courageous.
No matter what you say, the archaeological team is only a fringe department in this era and has no real power.
It's understandable to send your team members to a mental hospital. If you want to arrest these local masters, aren't you afraid that they will make things worse?
Unless the entire power department is a member of the treasure hunting club, then they have no guarantee.
"Director Ma is just dealing with them outside." Shen Yi replied unhurriedly, "In addition, the people from the treasure hunting party must also be in the tomb."
"I just went to look at their clothes to make sure they were members of the treasure hunting party, and even wanted to see if Zhao Lijie died here." Shen Yi snorted coldly, "It's a pity that those who were eaten, It is indeed from the treasure hunting party, but the core members of the treasure hunting party are not among them, and they must be elsewhere in the tomb."
