Chapter 815 Weird Painting
He didn't know when he would counterattack against them. He would definitely not let go of the ancient tomb like this. He would definitely be coveting them in the dark.
He wanted to find an opportunity to call Tang Lanxuan and ask him to send someone to help.
Deep in the mountains and forests, there are no mobile phones. If you want to make a call, you have to drive to a town five kilometers away.
He had decided to go to the ancient tomb the next day to check the situation and had to divide his troops.
"A Ming, Xu Yi, I want you to do something." Lin Ran called the two of them over. They were not good at taking risks and worked in clerical jobs most of the time.
Others were also assigned their own tasks, and Lao Hei looked on dumbfounded.
This man's thoughts were so thoughtful. In comparison, his leadership failed.
The next day, the team split into three groups.
Lin Ran, Wang Jinpeng, Lao Hei, Liu Jingfeng, and Hong Wu returned to the ancient tomb.
He poked inside and saw that the white fog had dissipated.
Entering the tomb, the smell of blood hit your face.
Just as Miyamoto said, his men were seriously injured, and some were still lying on the stone pillars, which directly crushed the stone pillars.
The others should have fallen to the bottom and been eaten by the previous monsters.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of them, several people frowned.
"Is this the appearance of the Chinese ancestors and leaving these neon devils here?" Wang Jinpeng said with a smile.
Lin Ran said: "I definitely hope they stay away from the tomb."
They continued walking forward, Bai Wu was no longer visible, and came straight to the fork in the road.
Looking at the fork in the road, Liu Jingfeng said: "Brother Lin, was this where you stopped yesterday?"
He saw a lamp holder on the wall, but it had been pulled down. It was the switch Miyamoto mentioned.
"We took the middle path." Lin Ran said with a bitter smile.
"The middle way?" This sentence made everyone seem a little confused, because there were only two forked roads in front of them, so how could there be a middle way?
"Did you remember wrongly?" Wang Jinpeng said, "There are only two roads here."
"Who said there are only two roads?" Lin Ran raised his eyebrows, and then came to the stone gate.
The stone door was not completely pried open, but was pushed aside and pressed against the wall.
Lin Ran came to the wall and said with a smile: "Come and help me."
They took steel rods, pried open the door, and pushed the door back slightly to the open position.
Behind the door, a passage appeared!
"The door plaque in the middle says that the flower on the other side is blooming. I'm afraid the flower on the other side means poisonous gas." Lin Ran sighed.
In fact, when he came here for the first time and saw the door being pushed against the wall, he felt something was wrong.
Because this door is very heavy, according to common sense, it is not easy for them to push the door open, and they can actually stick the door so close to the wall.
It is obviously specially designed by craftsmen. As long as you push it to a certain extent and continue to push in, the friction will be reduced and the door will enter the wall.
The so-called flowers blooming on the other side actually means that life and death are separated and they will never meet again.
Lin Ran speculated that both doors were dead ends.
But the real way to survive is confused by these four words.
People's eyes are easily deceived by blindness. The easier things are to see, the easier they are to be ignored.
Just like this door, they have clearly told them that the door is here, but they are still looking at the passage directly in front of them.
I just didn't expect Miyamoto and the others to be so stupid. It didn't matter that they were misled by the road, but they actually activated the trap randomly.
The real tomb passage appeared in front of everyone, dark and gloomy, as if leading to hell.
Before entering the tomb passage, Lin Ran reminded: "The reason why I only brought the four of you here is because the tomb has just been unsealed and the oxygen inside is limited. If too many people enter, accidents may easily occur."
"That's it." Lao Hei nodded, Lin Ran was extremely considerate.
In addition, Lin Ran left Xu Ning and Huang Hao to give them a break to prevent what happened yesterday from happening again, but he did not tell Lao Hei and Hong Wu.
Allowing the tomb to ventilate a little, they extinguished the torches and turned on the flashlights.
"I hope the cultural relics inside are okay." Lin Ran looked at the ancient tomb and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Many closed tombs, with no air inside, are actually the best protection for cultural relics.
For example, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were full of color when they were first unearthed.
However, due to the influx of air, the pigment quickly oxidized and disappeared, turning it into the current navy blue color.
But being buried underground is also a loss to civilization, so he can only regard it as a gamble, betting that the cultural relics inside will not be affected by oxidation.
There is another reason for Lin Ran's insistence.
The treasure hunting club has set its sights on this tomb. If they don't dig it out, it will definitely fall into the hands of the treasure hunting club.
They are not ordinary tomb robbers, because they will give up when they are dead.
The four of them followed Lin Ran into the tomb.
Both sides and the top of the tomb passage were decorated extremely luxuriously and were paved with gold.
The style of the tomb passage is completely different from the gloomy outside.
"What dynasty would use gold to frame tomb passages?" Liu Jingfeng exclaimed.
If he hadn't been worried that digging the walls rashly would cause the tomb passage to collapse, he would have wanted to drag all the floor tiles back into the tomb passage.
Lin Ran didn't care about the money, but thought about it silently.
This ancient tomb is too weird. It is a maze, a floating bridge, and various secret doors.
It felt to him like a modern craftsman had traveled to the past and laid many challenges for tomb robbers.
He quickly gave up this idea. The level of Chinese craftsmen could never be directly evaluated. After the excavation of the ancient tomb, the evaluation of ancient civilization must be raised to a higher level.
Others were attracted by the gold and looked around with flashlights in their hands.
Lin Ran walked straight forward. After passing the golden tomb passage, familiar scenes began to appear in the tomb passage ahead.
mural...
For Lin Ran, murals are a more valuable reference.
He raised his flashlight and looked carefully at the painting.
It looked like a religious ceremony, with an iron plate placed over the fire and a woman dancing on it.
The crowd around her swayed along with her movements and seemed to be dancing.
"This is..." Hong Wu noticed with sharp eyes that there was still a shadow of a person in the fire.
Lin Ran reached out and found that it was not the mark left by the stone, but the actual shadow painted on the wall.
In the raging fire, some people were burned alive.
The rest of the people were dancing nearby. The most exaggerated one was a woman wearing weird clothes and dancing on an iron plate.
The whole painting gave him a strange feeling.
Murals are usually built around people's lives. The most special thing in the whole painting is the dancing woman. Could it be the true identity of the tomb owner?
Miyamoto also mentioned that this is the Queen's Mausoleum, but how did they judge it?
If he hadn't known that Neon Man was cunning, he would have made up a reason to deceive him, and Lin Ran would have wanted to find out.
But he is not a criminal policeman and does not know how to extract confessions from people.
In short, this painting brought him a strong sense of discomfort.
