Chapter 117 Special funeral objects
But when they saw the situation in the well, they put their minds at ease.

I saw that the slippery well wall had no effect on Chen Ziyan's actions. He was leaning on the well wall with his four limbs, holding a flashlight in his mouth, and was descending at a constant speed. It was obvious that their worries were unnecessary.

At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly said: "It's easy to go down, but hard to go up. We still need to make a double-buckle safety lock, so we can pull Mr. Chen up later."

She didn't know that Chen Ziyan had the unique skill of climbing walls, and thought he used some kind of technique to slide down.

Although Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan knew that Chen Ziyan was extraordinary, they also felt that it would be better to be prepared.

After looking at each other, Wang Kaixuan stuffed the blunderbuss in his hand to Hu Bayi, while he turned around and ran out, wanting to go back to the camp to get the climbing rope.

They came here in a hurry and didn't bring any equipment, so they had to go back and get it.

Chen Ziyan, who was falling at this time, didn't know what the people above were doing. He was heading towards the bottom of the well while paying attention to the surrounding well walls.

He remembered that the secret door leading to the ancient tomb was hidden on the wall of the ancient well.

And when he descended to about fifteen or sixteen meters, he felt a gust of cool wind blowing from his side, and when he turned his head, he saw a stone door appeared on the wall of the well.

Chen Ziyan adjusted his body angle so that he faced the stone gate, and then put one hand on it.

It may have been in disrepair for a long time, or it may be other reasons, so it took him a lot of effort to push the stone door open.

With the help of the light from the flashlight in his mouth, he could clearly see that behind the stone gate was a typical masonry corridor, spacious and neat, and there was a stone gate in the depths.

Although there was no danger in Prince Gumo's tomb in his memory, Chen Ziyan still took out a few short arrows from his personal space and threw them towards the area where there might be traps.

jingle-

Several metal impacts sounded, and there was nothing abnormal in the corridor.

After confirming the condition of the tunnel, Chen Ziyan kicked his legs supporting the well wall, and with this force, he rushed into the stone gate.

After landing on the ground, Chen Ziyan saw clearly that there were two stone gates deep in the tunnel.

The first stone gate has already been opened, but the latter one is still closed.

Picking up the short arrows thrown along the road, Chen Ziyan walked slowly to the deepest stone gate.

The relief on the stone door is more complicated, and the outline should be some kind of strange beast from the Western Regions. There are processed animal skins on the crack of the door. He knows that only by removing these animal skins can the door in front of him be opened.

Although Chen Ziyan didn't have the habit of carrying a dagger with him, fortunately, after he learned the throwing arrow, he often kept a batch of metal short arrows in his possession space, which could barely replace it at this time.

Although the animal hide was pasted firmly, after so many years, it wasn't too difficult to clean it up, so he finished it quickly.

Behind the stone gate is a spacious and dry stone room. The length and width of this stone room are about 60 meters, and the height is more than three meters by visual inspection.

The ground of the stone chamber was covered with white bones, making it difficult to settle down for a while.

Chen Ziyan squatted down to take a look, and found that these dead bones were all from animals, and they had already decayed under the erosion of time, leaving only a vain and empty shelf, which would be broken immediately with the slightest touch.

Around the stone chamber, there are dozens of wooden pillars, and each wooden pillar is tied with a male corpse that has been air-dried. Judging from the body shape and bones, it should be in the prime of life.

Although this scene looked mysterious and frightening, it hadn't broken through Chen Ziyan's threshold, which was acceptable.

After briefly looking at the specific situation of the stone chamber, he followed the clues in his memory and began to search for the hidden entrance to the tomb.

The process of searching was very simple, or it could be said that it was very simple to find with a guide. It took Chen Ziyan a few minutes to find a relief stone slab with a pull ring under the dry bones on the ground.

After pulling the stone slab away, he saw a space similar to this one, with a square sarcophagus placed in the center of the space.

The style of this sarcophagus is very different from that of the mainland. Not to mention there is no carving or painting, and it is not the traditional rectangle of the Central Plains, but a box with a square mouth.

Chen Ziyan knew that this should be the joint burial coffin of Prince Gumo and his wife.

In the original plot, the archaeological team did not open, but the follow-up team lost their soldiers and lost their generals, and only two or three kittens returned alive. Professor Chen, who was most concerned about this matter, is still crazy, so there is probably no follow-up article.

But Chen Ziyan didn't care about that. After he descended into the tomb, he went straight to the strange sarcophagus.

After walking around the joint burial coffin, Chen Ziyan found that although the coffin had a strange shape, it did not deviate from the shape of the Central Plains tombs in essence.

After he pulled out the stone tenons of the sarcophagus and cut the oily wax sealing the gap between the coffin and the coffin, he grabbed both sides of the stone coffin with both hands, and pushed it aside with strength from his waist.

As the coffin board left, the situation inside the coffin came into his eyes.

The sarcophagus was filled with a viscous, jelly-like translucent liquid, and two lifelike corpses, a man and a woman, lay peacefully in it.

Chen Ziyan guessed that this liquid was probably some kind of special embalming liquid, and it was also the main reason why the face of the owner in this coffin was still intact.

And around the two corpses, there are also pieces of gold, silver and jade objects, which seem to be funerary objects.

Among these funeral objects, there were three things that attracted Chen Ziyan's attention the most.

The first piece was a pitch-black metal block with an extremely irregular shape, which seemed to be about the size of two tennis balls, with faint hints of bronze luster on it.

The second piece is a palm-sized milky white jade bottle, through the crystal clear body, one can vaguely see what is inside.

The third piece is a gorgeous golden scimitar without a sheath. This scimitar is shaped like a full sun. The blade is twice as wide as an ordinary scimitar. Neat round shape.

After scanning the coffin with his eyes, Chen Ziyan took out a pair of thin metal folding sticks, intending to use this tool to take out the funeral objects.

After all, the composition of the liquid in the coffin was unknown, so he didn't dare to put his hand in it rashly.

Although he is also interested in the other funeral objects of Prince Gumo and his wife, they are not as important as these three things, so he wants to take out these three funeral objects first.

And until now, he has basically explored the entire tomb of Prince Gumo, but the prompt to complete the selection has not sounded, which may be due to the funeral objects.

So it is necessary to take things out to study this matter.

Don't look at Chen Ziyan's usual slackness, but he is a typical actionist when it comes to business. After unfolding the thin metal stick, he planned to start taking out the funeral objects from the coffin.

And at this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps from above.

He said badly to himself, knowing that someone else must have come down.

Dang even didn't hesitate anymore, the thin metal stick in his hand was like chopsticks reaching into the solution in the coffin, and quickly and accurately took out the three funeral objects.

And the moment the golden scimitar came out of the coffin, the system's notification sounded in his ears, reminding him that he had completed the first choice.

Chen Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the notification sound.

Just as he was about to continue, a light shone down from above, and a female voice sounded: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"

The moment he heard the voice, Chen Ziyan frowned secretly, and quietly put away the thin metal stick in his hand.

While turning his head to look over, he thought to himself: Why is this girl down here?
The reason why he didn't stop immediately was because he thought that the person who came down would be Hu Bayi, but he didn't expect that it was Xue Liyang.

If he had known this earlier, he would have stopped directly.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the rights and obligations of Chen Ziyan's private museum. (Parallel time and space setting, please don't get into it.)
While enjoying the right to independently explore and excavate ancient tombs, place valuable cultural relics in his own museum, and sell some damaged cultural relics, he also undertakes the obligation to protect and repair ancient sites and high-value antiquities.

Things like opening a library without authorization obviously do not meet this standard. If Professor Chen really wrote it into the report afterwards, even if he can solve it, he will not feel much better.

Thinking about how to shut Xue Liyang's mouth in his heart, Chen Ziyan put on a slight smile on his face, and naturally gave enough vision to Xue Liyang, wanting to show his magnanimity.

"Open the coffin for investigation, does Miss Yang have any suggestions?"

Xue Liyang didn't jump down like Chen Ziyan did, but tied the rope obediently and slid down along the rope.

After landing, she came to Chen Ziyan's side, first glanced at the situation inside the sarcophagus, then looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "So, Mr. Chen, did you find anything?"

This woman understood the truth very well, she knew that since the coffin had already been opened, it would be meaningless to talk about it.

On the contrary, figuring out what Chen Ziyan discovered is the most urgent task now.

Chen Ziyan glanced at the sarcophagus next to him, and said, "The only thing we know so far is that this should be a tomb of an ancient noble from the Western Regions. Combined with the location here, I guess it may have been left by the ancient country of Gumo."

If you want to divert someone's attention, the best way is to find something that attracts the other person more.

Obviously, the ancient country of Gumo is also an ancient civilization in the Western Regions, which has a natural attraction for Shirley Yang.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang's eyes became serious immediately.

After looking at the sarcophagus in front of the meeting, she quickly shone the flashlight on the surrounding walls.

As a tomb robber... no, Shirley Yang, who came from a family of archaeologists, immediately thought that there might be murals recording the deeds of the tomb owner here.

To her, this is more valuable than this sarcophagus and those funerary objects!
