Ye Fan's words made everyone stunned.

Burial pit?

Just these three words have already made many people feel sick inside.

Many people find it difficult to accept the cruel burial system of the ancients.

After all, in today's law-based society, such cruel behavior is really unacceptable to most people.

"Go in and take a look, put on your gas mask."

He nodded to Shen Bao and took out the gas mask from his pocket.

These were prepared by Mr. Lei and the others. After all, once they find the ancient tomb, they must go down. This gas mask is an excellent choice.

Ye Fan, Shen Bao, Lei Lao, Kong Weiren, and Dong Dabiao crossed the gravel and walked in slowly.

The rest of the people were guarding the outside, always paying attention to what was going on around them.

This is a stone chamber of 100 square meters, surrounded by marble and carved murals.

In the center of the stone chamber, in a deep pit seven or eight meters square, dozens of coffins are placed in layers.

And that putrid smell came from this coffin.

Ye Fan frowned, not looking at the coffin first, but instead focusing on the murals on the surrounding walls.

“This mural was created after the martyrs were buried alive, and a highly skilled painter vividly painted the scene on the stone wall.

According to this mural, the owner of the tomb should have been a successful general during his lifetime. During the battle, he captured many slaves. After his death in battle, the king held a grand funeral for him, and all his slaves were buried. Buried."

After interpreting the content of this mural, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Although there was nothing wrong with being buried alive under the circumstances at that time, after all, those were dozens of living lives. How could it not be horrifying to be buried alive like this?

Mr. Lei nodded in admiration: "Judging from the materials used for this painting, it is made of gypsum and egg white, mixed with dye. This mixed liquid can be stored for a long time and will not fade after weathering. This technology It appeared at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, so this tomb should be after the Northern Song Dynasty. Based on the costumes and decorations of the characters in the murals, as well as the characteristics of the murals, it can be judged that this is a tomb from the Daliao period, but who is buried there? But I can’t tell yet.”

"The Liao Dynasty was an era of constant wars, and the number of generals with great military exploits was unknown. It was impossible to judge only from the murals. Therefore, only by finding the epitaph can we determine the identity of the owner of the tomb."

Ye Fan borrowed Mr. Lei's words.

Now, he no longer pays attention to the identity of the owner of the tomb. Since there are so many victims here, it means that there must be rich burial objects in the main tomb chamber.

The purpose of his coming here is for those burial objects.

After continuing to read the murals, Kong Weiren couldn't help but be surprised: "Since this is a burial chamber, it should be connected to the main tomb passage, but why is there no exit door?"

The surrounding walls are actually covered with murals, and the entire stone chamber seems to be independent, which is very strange.

It can be seen that Kong Weiren should have visited the tomb and had a certain understanding of the form of tombs.

At this time, Mr. Lei said: "Generally speaking, the location of the burial pit is at the front of the entire tomb, or on the side of the main tomb, because these victims must also serve the tomb after death. owner, so it won’t be too far away from the owner of the tomb.”

As a professional archaeologist, Lei Lao understands this quite well.

"In this case, there must be a door out here."

Shen Bao made a final summary and then started looking around.

Only Ye Fan still stared closely at the mural until the last one.

After seeing all the murals, Ye Fan slowly closed his eyes and reappeared the murals in his mind.

One picture after another, and finally connected into a whole painting.

"I see."

A faint sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Ye Fan's mouth.

It turns out that this mural was originally divided into one piece and painted on the wall, and there was a small gap between the third and fourth pieces.

The door to the stone chamber should be there.

Ye Fan walked over slowly and groped around on the wall that was only about half a meter long. He slowly pressed down a protruding stone.

Immediately, the stone wall on the side slowly cracked, and a stone door appeared that could only accommodate one person.

"The artist's skills are really superb, and the design is very clever. He even used murals as clues. It's so wonderful."

Seeing Ye Fan opening the stone door, Mr. Lei couldn't help but admire.

"Let's go. The main tomb passage should be outside. Everyone must be careful. Don't be reckless, or you may lose your life."

This tomb is full of weirdness, so you must not take it lightly. If you are not careful, you may lose your life here.

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, a dark wind came from outside, causing several people to shiver.

"There's no place for wind to come from, so be careful."

Ye Fan warned again, then took the lead in walking out of the burial chamber with a hiking stick in hand.

Outside, a tomb passage that was two meters wide appeared.

There are strips of marble on the ground.

It's neat and tidy, with no clutter at all.

"How did they do it? How could they polish the marble so smoothly and seamlessly?"

Shen Bao looked at the tomb passage in front of him in shock, feeling filled with emotion.

Such craftsmanship, even in modern times, would probably be difficult to accomplish without an experienced mason.

"Never doubt the wisdom of the ancients. It's just a pity that in the long history, many craftsmanship has been lost."

Mr. Lei sighed, walked out, and saw the wide tomb passage.

"It can accommodate a carriage. You can imagine how much labor was needed to build such a huge project at that time."

Kong Weiren and Dong Dabiao also followed. With the continuous influx of oxygen, the torches on the wall suddenly became natural, and the dim tomb passage finally lit up.

Let’s go and find the main tomb as soon as possible.”

Ye Fan calmly ordered.

Then, several people walked forward slowly again.

Because this is the main tomb passage, connecting every stone chamber.

Ye Fan and the others entered more than a dozen in a row, but nothing was gained.

Because in ancient tombs, many things were used to pile objects and did not have much use.

Especially those stone chambers specially used for sacrifices. These tombs have been built for thousands of years, so why would anyone come to offer sacrifices? Therefore, these tombs are all abandoned.

After half an hour, several people finally arrived at a stone gate.

This stone gate is four to five meters long and one foot high.

Birds and beasts are engraved on it, as vividly as if they were real.

And right in front of the stone gate, two huge stone lions squatted, majestic guardians of the stone gate.
