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

"No more. We thought of this at the time, but we didn't find anything else valuable after searching." Bai Er shook his head.

Although he lacks professional knowledge, he has rich relevant experience, so he has tried it a long time ago.

But unfortunately, in the area where the pottery and bronze artifacts were found, there was not even any gravel or debris, only silt of unknown depth under the water.

"Is that so..." Chen Ziyan rubbed his chin habitually and fell into thought.

This is a bit difficult!

As the saying goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice.

The clues they have now are not enough to deduce the reason why these two things appear together.

The others were also thinking, which caused the surroundings to suddenly become quiet for a moment. Even the breathing of everyone could be heard clearly.

breathe?

After realizing this, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized the problem.

If there was only one entrance to the ghost cave here before, where did the air come from?

When he expressed this doubt, others immediately understood what he meant.

Hu Bayi was the first to speak: "Does this mean that there may be a way to the outside world in places we haven't discovered yet?"

Those who have been working underground for many years all know one thing: as long as there is sufficient air underground, it means there are ventilation holes in the space.

This type of vent is generally equivalent to an entrance and exit route.

"It may exist, but we haven't found it." Hearing this, Bai Er said in a deep voice.

He was also a person who worked underground all year round, so he was well aware of this principle. However, they had already conducted surveys and had not found any place that met the requirements.

After he finished speaking, he glanced sideways at the platform they had come down from.

"Later we analyzed that the air in the interlayer might have been circulated through the mine tunnel."

No one knew what the specific situation of this mezzanine was before, but when they discovered it, there was already a hole here, so after searching everywhere in vain, this hole was the most likely possibility.

"That makes sense." Chen Ziyan nodded, agreeing with what he said.

Then he brought the topic back on track: "Let's make an assumption first. If these bronze owls were really specially imitated and were deliberately placed in the tomb, then what was the purpose of the person who did this? Could it be because of his identity?"

"Although the Han Dynasty was far from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, some ancient traditions at that time were still well preserved."

He felt that he should find a clue first, so he turned his attention to the identity of the tomb owner.

"Well, I think we can give it a try, no matter what the purpose is, but one thing is certain, that is, doing so will definitely not be aimless." Hu Bayi immediately expressed his agreement.

This reminded Chen Ziyan and made him realize a problem that had been overlooked.

"Captain Bai, have you found the tomb?" He looked at Bai Er and asked, "Or is there really a tomb here?"

He also suddenly remembered that burial objects such as tomb figures would not be too far away from the tomb unless something unexpected happened.

But Bai Er just said that nothing else was found where the pottery figures and bronze artifacts were found.

This means that the ancient tomb is not there. And there is another question, that is, how did they determine that there is such a strange thing as Pan Tao here?
Previously, Chen Ziyan's attention was attracted by pottery and bronze ware, and he subconsciously ignored this matter.

Looking back now, I find that these things don't seem to be connected together.

If he hadn't had a preconceived impression, he might not have thought there was a connection between the two.

"We haven't found it, and we can't even be sure whether there is a tomb here, but one thing is basically certain, that is, there is a high probability that there are Pan Tao." Bai Er saw through Chen Ziyan's thoughts and said very frankly.

"What do you mean?" Chen Ziyan asked curiously.

He knew that if Bai Er dared to say this, he must have evidence.

"Because of the environment here, the swamp we are in now is not just mud and water. Not only does it have a unique ecological chain, but we also found a lot of huge skeletons during the excavation process."

"Giant skeletons? Do you mean... the unique ecological chain here comes from those skeletons?" Chen Ziyan thought for a while and asked.

"Can you be sure of this?"

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly, those who should understand will naturally understand.

But understanding is one thing, but believing is another.

Because if this is true, it means that this was probably once a special sacrificial pit.

If that's the case, perhaps this is just part of a tomb.

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan vaguely understood the real purpose of Bai Er inviting them to join.

"It has been roughly confirmed." Bai Er nodded, then he took out a candle from somewhere, lit it, and moved in front of the bronze owl: "Master Chen, look."

Chen Ziyan looked down and saw that under the candlelight, part of the texture on the surface of the bronze owl had changed color, becoming a dull reddish brown.

These reddish-brown lines form ancient-looking characters between the original textures.

Obviously, this is the evidence that Bai Er used to make the above judgment.

Seeing this magical scene, everyone immediately rushed forward and looked at the words with burning eyes.

But unfortunately, they could only see that these should be words, but they had no way of interpreting the specific meaning. Even Chen Ziyan and Shirley Yang, the two people who were entrusted with the inheritance, had no impression of the origin of these words.

After carefully looking at it for a while and making sure that he had no clue at all, Chen Ziyan looked at Bai Er very straightforwardly: "Captain Bai, what is this text?"

Since Bai Er obtained some secret information through these characters, it means that they recognize this kind of characters.

"We don't know what it's called specifically, but this kind of writing is not uncommon underground. Master Chen, you also know that we often work underground, and we naturally have some experience with it after having more contact with it." Bai Er said slowly.

"The texts underground are quite common?" Hearing this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but take another look at the texts.

But he did not dwell on this question, but asked: "What do these words mean?"

He knew that there were some things that Bai Er would never tell him, such as how to decipher the underground text.

So he went straight to the point. He now wanted to know what was recorded on it.

"It's a story. How should I put it? It's a bit mysterious, but combined with the situation here, it seems to be a documentary type." Bai Er replied softly. (End of this chapter)
