Chapter 477 Double-layer mural!Is the water in the cemetery drinkable?
It worked!
Everyone quickly gathered around and stepped on the collapsed tombstone.
Behind the tombstone, a rock crevice appeared, and the smell of burning sulfur came from inside.
However, in low-temperature weather, the smell outside has long since disappeared, and only the smell remains inside.
Seeing that the wind and snow became stronger again, Liu Jingfeng immediately made a decision: "Abandon the two tents at the door and enter the tomb passage!"
As long as they can get out of the mausoleum, one day will be enough for them to return to the previous wooden house, and there will be no need for a tent.
Zhenbao walked at the front of the team and said, "There may be a trap inside, everyone, follow me!"
He dragged himself tiredly into the tomb passage. Wang Jinpeng turned on the flashlight and followed behind.
After entering the crevice, there are no steps inside, but there is a downward path, just like climbing a mountain.
However, the temperature inside the cave will be slightly higher.
Compared to the ice and snow outside, this place looks like a greenhouse!
Zhen Bao, who was walking in front, looked around and then said, "It's a little strange. This place doesn't look like a man-made mausoleum, but rather like a natural cave."
He said while walking and touching the wall.
The tomb passages of most mausoleums will still be specially decorated, after all, they represent the appearance.
But except for the slope, this place is no different from an ordinary mountain!
Moreover, there are many protruding stones inside, making it easy to hit your head if you are not careful.
"Damn it, are we going the wrong way?" Wang Jinpeng said, "What kind of tombstone is there in a broken cave?"
"But it's really warm inside. It's much better than outside." Huang Hao sighed.
"It's really warm in winter and cool in summer in the cave." Everyone was almost frozen outside just now, but everyone's bodies regained their vitality inside.
The entire cave has a slope of thirty degrees, extending downward.
It actually took 15 minutes to walk to the end.
After reaching the flat ground, the terrain ahead suddenly became flat and open.
Different from the cave just now, this is obviously a dark room.
There are a lot of strange words carved on the walls on both sides!
"What's written on it?" Huang Hao asked Lin Ran anxiously.
Lin Ran didn't recognize it either. He thought it should be ancient Tubo writing.
He took out paper and pen and copied the text, intending to take it back and study it carefully.
Others also took the opportunity to take a break and sit down in the room.
After walking some distance further, a huge space appeared.
It was about the size of a basketball court, and there was a pool in the middle.
Bubbles are constantly coming out of the center of the pond, which means it is a pool of living water!
But no one dared to pick up the water. After all, no one dared to drink the water in the mausoleum.
At this time, Lin Ran noticed some fragments of daily objects buried on the ground, which looked like porcelain bowls.
He suddenly remembered what the curator told them before setting off.
Gravekeepers!
"This water should be drinkable!" Lin Ran repeated the story of protecting the clan, and instantly everyone understood why this place looked weird.
Because someone once lived here!
Those selected as the tomb guardians will not be killed directly, but will continue to serve their master in the tomb until they die.
If you want to live in a mausoleum, besides food, the most important thing is water.
This may be the main reason why they chose to build a mausoleum on the sacred mountain.
But it was just a guess. There were no bones of the tomb-guarding clan nearby, so I felt a little strange.
However, with Lin Ran's reminder, they felt relieved.
After all, it is living water. After all, it is living water. You can drink it after heating it.
But they were not in a hurry to light a fire. After all, the tomb door had just been opened and the oxygen content inside was insufficient, so it was better not to light a fire rashly.
They just took some water as emergency supplies.
Wang Jinpeng held a flashlight and looked around curiously.
“I didn’t expect there to be murals here.”
Following his flashlight, he saw a large number of colorful murals on the surrounding rock walls.
However, the integrity of the murals is lacking. Perhaps due to being close to a water source and affected by the humid climate, most of the murals have peeling colors, making it difficult to see what is painted.
Only one mural is barely clear.
There were many people painted on it, most of them without clothes, and behind them, followed a group of red-bodied, huge, horned demons, who seemed to be chasing them.
At the top, there is what looks like a Buddha, with his eyes closed tightly, as if he did not see the disaster in front of him.
The appearance of this mural is very unexpected. After all, except for the last generation of Tibetans, all have extremely strong beliefs in Buddhism. It is impossible to paint such a blasphemous mural!
No matter how you look at it, it sounds like you are scolding the gods and Buddhas for their inaction!
As for the other murals, they were so faded that it was impossible to see what they were about.
According to their experiences, the murals usually record the lives of the tomb owners.
It seems that this mural should be the work of the last Zamplamda. According to previous books, he was thought by Buddhists to be the existence of demons. He was also extremely disgusted with Buddhism, which was completely different from his ancestors.
"It feels a bit strange." When Lin Ran got closer to the mural, he discovered that the front behind the mural was like a layer of paper with a slightly different color.
So, he tentatively scratched it with his finger.
Sure enough, a piece was torn off.
Behind the rip he tore, new colors appeared.
Lin Ran suddenly became interested, picked up his hand and started digging at the wall.
The complete wall turned out to be several layers of paper. The paper was torn off to reveal a brand new mural behind it!
Double wall mural!
Others were stunned when they saw this scene. Naturally, they could not let Lin Ran work alone and follow him to tear up the wall.
With everyone's joint efforts, the outer layer of the wall has been completely scraped off.
The complete mural inside is revealed!
Tang Sancai should not fade easily. The reason why the color fades so obviously is because the paper cannot withstand moisture.
What appeared in front of everyone at this time was a mural with bright colors and spectacular scenes.
The bottom of the mural is in a dark yellow style, giving it an ancient and mysterious feel!
But a lot of red paint was used.
The murals on three sides depict grand and bloody scenes.
It’s not about gods and Buddhas, it’s about war!
I saw soldiers wearing Tang-made armor holding long spears and surrounding their people.
What is painted on the other side is an evil monk, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at the king who is handling government affairs.
The scene is very tragic, as if it is indicting the injustice of the world.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were obviously stronger than the Tubo soldiers, but it was their own people who really dealt the fatal blow to the Tubo soldiers!
When this mural appeared, Lin Ran was already sure that this was the tomb of King Zao!
It's just that the content of the mural is completely different from what he has seen before, and it is closer to the historical truth described in the book!
