Chapter 2 Ancient Tomb(1/2)

"At eight o'clock tonight, there will be a meteor swarm across our sky. The scale of this meteor swarm is unimaginable and it is a rare sight in ten thousand years!" A pleasant female voice on the TV was broadcasting the news. At this moment, it was already

It's seven o'clock in the evening.

Qin He sipped the tea in his cup, lay comfortably on the sofa, and looked at the beautiful sunset outside the window.

In summer, the daylight hours are relatively long, and the sunset gives this bustling city a red-gold luster, giving it a nostalgic feel.

Not knowing how many times he would see such a scene again, Qin He sighed secretly.

Beep..beep..beep..

The cell phone on the table rang, and Qin He glanced at the cell phone screen. It was a call from Lin Xiaoxiao, whom he had grown up with since childhood, a beautiful girl who looked like an elf.

"There is a meteor shower tonight, shall we watch it together?" As soon as he pressed the answer button, Lin Xiaoxiao's sweet voice came out.

The two grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Now that they live in the same city, they are in constant contact.

Qin He was stunned for a while: "Better... forget it... I'm not free tonight."

After a few simple perfunctory words, Qin He rejected Lin Xiaoxiao's invitation and hung up the phone.

Qin He actually knew that he and Lin Xiaoxiao were in love with each other, but...

Qin He will not live to be thirty. He is twenty-two years old this year. In eight years, he will eventually die of a strange disease inherited from his family.

Lin Xiaoxiao is a good girl and he doesn't want to cause her pain.

"It's a rare sight in ten thousand years!" Qin He sighed and looked at the sky outside the window.

The night sky has fallen, and the lights in the city are gradually lighting up, reflecting the stars in the sky.

Suddenly, a brilliant meteor pierced the night, like a bright blade, passing through the dark sky above Qin He.

"Didn't you say it's only available at eight o'clock?" Qin He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only seven-thirty at the moment.

As the first meteor passed by, like a horn of charge, countless meteors rushed past, hanging a beautiful silver coat in the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The steel structure floor shook inexplicably several times, knocking the tea on the table out of the cup, and the huge floor-to-ceiling window glass clearly trembled slightly.

"Earthquake?" Qin He frowned in confusion: "Will there be an earthquake here?"

Feeling that there was no earthquake anymore, Qin He shook his head and turned to look at the sky. Unfortunately, the meteor shower had passed by this time, and the sky was calm again.

"No matter how beautiful it is, it's just a moment." He sighed inexplicably, but suddenly laughed out loud. He didn't know what happened tonight. He was originally a very optimistic person, but he became sentimental. Maybe it was

I was affected by Lin Xiaoxiao's phone call.

Qin He shook his head mockingly and turned back to the bedroom.

The next day, when it was just dawn, a pleasant ringing sound disturbed Qin He's sweet dream.

"Who is it?" Qin He closed his eyes and answered the phone.

"Qin He, get up quickly, get up quickly and come to my place!" An old man's voice rang on the phone. This old man was his father's best friend during his lifetime and was the famous domestic archaeologist Lin Hua. Although Qin He had just arrived early,

I left school and started my own business. Now I have a small fortune, but I have always been very interested in archeology.

Listening to Lin Hua's anxious voice, Qin He was also awakened and no longer sleepy: "Uncle Lin, what's the matter?"

"You'll know when you come. Hurry up!" After Lin Hua finished speaking, he had already hung up the phone.

Qin He washed his face in a hurry, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that he rejected Lin Xiaoxiao's invitation last night, and Old Lin came to ask questions? Qin He secretly wondered.

I drove to Lin's house and saw Lin Hua already waiting outside the door with a small box.

"Come on, let's go to the western suburbs." Qin He just stopped the car, and Lin Hua couldn't wait to open the door and got in.

"Uncle Lin, what happened?" Qin He started the car and drove to the western suburbs.

"Did you feel the earthquake last night?" Lin Hua pushed up the glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose and continued without waiting for Qin He to answer: "That meteor shower last night all hit there."

Qin He was startled, but became even more confused: "Where did the meteorite hit? What does it have to do with archeology?"

"Meteorites cracked the surface of the earth." Lin Hua swallowed his saliva and looked a little excited: "A corner of a super large tomb was exposed."

"Super big tomb?" Qin He glanced at Lin Hua in surprise.

"I haven't seen the exact age yet. I just got this news. Hey... drive faster!" Lin Hua blushed slightly and urged Qin He.

The western suburbs are less than 30 kilometers away from the city. It took about ten minutes to drive and we arrived.

Only a few small craters appeared in front of the two people. The scene had been sealed off. In a larger crater, copper bricks of unknown age built a copper wall, and the meteor smashed through the surface.

, show it in front of everyone.

"Big deal!" Lin Hua sighed, using copper bricks to build the wall, I really don't know what kind of person this tomb owner is.

At this moment, there are many people at the scene, including geologists, astronomers, and archaeologists, who are conducting surveys near the crater. This western suburb was originally deserted, but now it is full of people.

Lin Hua had a lot of connections. After talking to the person in charge at the scene, he took Qin He and ran into the crater.

"Looking at it like this, this bronze wall is just the tip of the iceberg of this tomb. I really don't know what kind of person can afford to live in such a tomb." Lin Hua put on his gloves and touched the bronze wall and sighed.

"Could it be an emperor's tomb?" Qin He carefully took away a copper brick that was about to fall, and a dark hole suddenly appeared on the copper wall.

Lin Hua walked over and pulled Qin He back. After a while, the copper wall did not move.

Lin Hua shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I don't know how long it has been since such a large tomb has seen the sun. According to my opinion, it may have been no less than two thousand years. There will probably be mechanisms. Now, let it dissipate the death energy."

That's fine." Lin Hua put on a white mask and carefully pulled off a few copper bricks to let the air inside diffuse for a while.

After waiting for a long time, at this time, many archaeological groups had been approved to come in. Many reporters at the crater also came after hearing the news, and the scene was extremely lively.

Lin Hua lit the lighter and explored the cave. The sparks flickered slightly but did not go out.

"Do you dare to go in and have a look?" Lin Hua smiled and said to Qin He. Lin Hua is famous for his boldness. He didn't know whether the tomb would collapse, but he dared to take risks. People in the archaeological community called him

A strange flower.

"Why don't you dare?" Qin He followed Lin Hua's example and shrugged, and stepped into the dark cave.

Lin Hua flashed his flashlight and followed him in.

Under the illumination of a flashlight, you can clearly see the dust floating in the air. At your feet is a bronze staircase that leads directly to the ground.

"Be careful." Lin Hua nodded towards Qin He and climbed down the stairs.

It is not known when this large tomb was built. The bronze steps are slightly damp, and a slight sound of dripping water can occasionally be heard in the passage. However, the surface of the bronze steps is extremely smooth and has no rust.

The two of them walked down carefully, walking on thin ice. Fortunately, there seemed to be no mechanism in the tomb. The two of them walked for nearly half an hour before finishing the bronze stairs.

"The ones under my feet are also made of bronze." The flashlight couldn't shine too far, and could only see the dust particles in the air. Except for the bronze steps behind it, everything in front was black, and it seemed to extend infinitely into unknown space.

"I always feel a little weird." Lin Hua walked forward slowly with a flashlight on. Almost every step he took, he looked around with a flashlight: "You said, logically speaking, this tomb should have existed for at least a thousand years.

It’s been a long time, but why doesn’t this copper rust?”

Qin He shook his head and did not answer. The two of them were still walking in this purposeless black space. There were so many coppers here that the compass had no effect, so the two of them could only keep walking forward.

Suddenly, Lin Hua let out a strange cry and subconsciously took two steps back. Qin He looked forward and saw a ferocious-looking statue standing in front of him.

Lin Hua patted his chest. Even though he was so brave, he was so frightened that his face turned pale: "I was scared to death. What did I think it was?"

Qin He looked carefully at the statue with a human face and an animal body in front of him. This statue was extremely ferocious. It had a human face, but it had a huge bloody mouth. Its ferocious fangs seemed to be indestructible. It stood there and faced the enemy.

The sky roars.

"This is Tao Tzu, one of the four evil spirits in mythology." Qin He touched the statue. Although the statue looked a little more ferocious, it was extremely beautiful. He didn't know how people in ancient times made such a statue.

A wonderful and beautiful piece of art.

The two rested for a while in front of the statue and continued walking forward.

After walking for less than five minutes, another giant statue with a big mouth appeared in front of it. I saw this strange beast with tiger teeth and human claws, eyes growing under the armpits, and biting half of the human body in its mouth.

"Taotie!" Lin Hua was not intimidated this time. Instead, he walked up to the Taotie bronze sculpture and commented in detail.

Next, the two of them saw several mythical beasts from ancient myths. All of these beasts were lifelike and wonderful. They roared to the sky, bared their teeth and claws, or soared into the clouds and mist. They seemed to be coming to life. They were works of magic.

.

"I'm becoming more and more curious, who is this tomb owner, and how can he be so grand?" Lin Hua smacked his tongue repeatedly, sighing secretly.

Suddenly, a jade arch bridge appeared in front of it. The fresh and crisp jade green arch bridge was built from the copper bricks.

The main tomb must be in front!

"Such fine jade is rare in the entire world. I don't know where the owner of this tomb got such a peerless treasure. If you ask me, any piece of it would be worth a fortune!" Lin Hua stroked the jade at his feet.

, excited.

"These precious jade are used to make an arch bridge. Let's take a look further. Maybe there will be something more surprising later!" Qin He carefully stepped on the jade bridge and walked forward.

Not long after, a huge altar appeared in front of the two of them!

"This is?" Lin Hua was no longer surprised, even though in front of him was a golden altar with a height of five meters!

Altar made of gold!

"Let's... let's... look up." Lin Hua couldn't even speak fluently. The two of them looked up at the altar. You can imagine what kind of movement it would be if this tomb was revealed.

The two of them slowly climbed onto the altar. The steps of the gold altar were covered with runes that looked like ghost paintings, making it difficult to tell the age.
