People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 224 Too bad, I forgot about the fat man!
I don't know if Ding Sitian understood Chen Ziyan's subtext, but instead of continuing the topic, she changed the subject and said, "Shall we go to other places to see?"

The so-called other places naturally refer to other areas of the Phantom Tomb.

Although it is not clear how this ghost tomb works, it can be known from the appearance of Wushuang ghost and others out of thin air just now that it is likely to reach other areas through the robbery hole.

Now there is no new information in the stone coffin, so she wanted to go to other places to have a look. If she could find something, wouldn't she be able to solve the mystery faster.

After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi shook his head and rejected this suggestion: "Whether this ghost tomb is transformed into a mausoleum or not, it is a product divorced from reality after all. We are now staying in the underworld of the Tang tomb, and we don't need to worry about other things. It's a problem, but if this ghost tomb suddenly disappears in other places, it will really be called "every day should not be done, and the earth will not work."

He was worried that this ghost grave would send them to the compacted soil, and even if they were not crushed to death immediately, they would die from suffocation, so it was better to stay here first.

Although Chen Ziyan felt that this possibility was not high, he was afraid of anything but just in case, so he felt that he had to guard against it, so he said, "Let's take a closer look, this stone coffin should not be as simple as it looks on the surface."

"Ok."

Hearing that both of them said that, Ding Sitian didn't insist.

She knew very well that she was far inferior to these professionals in terms of tomb exploration, and it was just a proposal.

And at this moment, they suddenly heard Shirley Yang say, "Look at the walls around you."

Hearing her reminder, Chen Ziyan and others looked up subconsciously, and found that the surrounding tomb walls had changed at some point.

The original murals are gone, replaced by patterns of human faces with different expressions.

These face patterns are scattered, with different expressions, such as joy, sorrow, sorrow, anger, surprise, or injury, but no matter what kind of expression it is, the basic techniques are the same as those of the face patterns on the stone coffin. As if it came out of a mold.

After Chen Ziyan looked carefully at the tomb wall, he reminded in a calm voice: "Everyone, be careful, we should no longer be in the original Hades."

He found that not only the murals had been replaced with human face patterns, but even the tomb wall had changed from the exquisite tomb bricks to thick and simple rocks, the material was almost the same as the stone wall that blocked the road before.

Hu Bayi thought of a possibility, looked back at the stone coffin subconsciously, and said: "Maybe when the stone coffin appeared, this transformation had already begun, but our attention was attracted by other things, and it never happened." It can be found that if it is as expected, we should have completely entered the ghost grave."

This can also explain why Wushuanggui and others came out of the robbery hole they came in.

"Let's investigate this matter later. Let's study the face pattern on the wall first." Chen Ziyan said.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to think so much now, it is better to investigate the situation first.

As for whether this guess is correct, wait and check to get the answer.

"Yeah." Hu Bayi nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Ziyan's words.

Things are already like this, it is useless to think about it.

After observing the faces on the wall for a while, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Master Chen, why do I think these faces look so awkward, but I still can't tell what's wrong?"

Chen Ziyan also had the same feeling. After looking at it for a while, he asked, "Do you think it's not sincere enough, no matter what expression you have, it's like a fake?"

Hearing what he said, Hu Bayi immediately agreed: "That's right, it just feels fake. The expressions on these faces are so... so indescribably hypocritical. Speaking of which, these faces look complicated. , but the senses are not as good as those on the stone coffin.”

Chen Ziyan nodded: "That's true. Compared with the human face patterns on the stone coffin, these human face patterns are even more weird. There is treachery in the smile, and mockery in the anger. It has gone beyond the scope of human performance..."

At this point, Chen Ziyan paused slightly, his eyes swept over the base of the stone coffin and the lower edge of the tomb wall, and then said: "But now it is basically confirmed that the tomb wall with the human face pattern is also a product of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Hu Bayi didn't know much about this period, so he asked, "Master Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Xue Liyang and Ding Sitian, who had been silent all this time, also turned their attention to Chen Ziyan.

Looking at the three people with expectant faces, Chen Ziyan organized his words a little bit, and said: "I base my judgment on two points, one is the style of these face patterns, although there were already such patterns in the Shang Dynasty. Face carvings or patterns, but the human face decorations in the Yin and Shang Dynasties were more than vigorous and simple, and the lines were not smooth enough, and the gender characteristics of that period were obvious. Those with silkworm eyebrows, round eyes, wide mouth and wide nose were men, but not in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The characteristic is that the facial lines are smooth, without gender characteristics, only the ears are larger than ordinary people."

Then he pointed to the base of the stone coffin and the bottom of the tomb wall: "The second point is the cloud-thunder pattern. Only the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Chinese dynasties admired the thunder pattern. It can be said that this is a more distinctive feature."

Hu Bayi didn't speak, but Shirley Yang raised a question.

I just heard her ask: "I remember that similar human face decorations appeared in the Han Dynasty. Although it was rare in the subsequent dynasties, cultural relics with such decorations were unearthed one after another."

Chen Ziyan nodded when he heard the words: "That's true, but if you pay attention to the development of this kind of human face decoration, you will find that this kind of human face pattern has more obvious facial features in the Han Dynasty and later, and men have obvious beards on their faces. , and this type of indistinguishable male and female has only appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty so far."

Hu Bayi said strangely: "This is obviously not in line with the law of development of things. It seems that this kind of carving and manufacturing technology suddenly turned a corner in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and this genderless shape appeared directly. It’s gradually returning to its original style.”

Chen Ziyan spread his hands helplessly: "I don't know why this change occurred only in the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you want to find out, you have to seek advice from relevant experts."

Even Chen Ziyan felt that even a scholar who specialized in this field would find it difficult to explain the reason and background for this strange change.

"By the way, we have left the original Hades now, what about Kaixuan?" Ding Sitian suddenly thought of Wang Kaixuan who was going to interrogate the captive alone.

Although the side hall is next to it, it was before, and no one knows where the door will lead to.

Hu Bayi also slapped his head fiercely: "Oops, forget about the fat man!"
