Chapter 217 Xixia Culture
The two walked slowly down the steps.Although both of them hold flashlights in their hands, the light of the flashlights is very limited here, and it is useless at all. After being illuminated for a distance of three to five meters, it is blocked by the black mist. The hands are just for courage.

"Zi Yang, we've been here for quite some time. What do you think of this place? Is this the mausoleum of some black general?"

"It's hard to say. I have also studied the culture of Xixia in detail before. The country of Xixia has a very strong absorption capacity. It accommodates many cultures. It takes the essence and discards the dross to form its own style.

In terms of tombs, the Western Xia royal tombs discovered so far have very different styles. Although they have borrowed a lot of tomb culture from the Tang and Song Dynasties, they are quite different from the two.

The tombs of the Xixia Kingdom have obvious characteristics from the outside. The pagoda is the mausoleum, which represents the supremacy of the imperial power. This can be reflected in the story I showed you before, the tomb robber who pulled forty camels The thieves dug up a large number of funerary objects in some pagodas.

The structure of Xixia’s tomb is also very simple. Generally speaking, the tomb passage is directly facing the tomb, and it changes from narrow to wide. That is, after the mausoleum of Xixia was sealed with soil, a mound of earth was built high even above the tomb passage, so that people could see at a glance that it was the mausoleum of Xixia from a distance.

According to the analysis of these aspects, I judged that this is not the tomb of the Xixia Kingdom, because the Xixia Kingdom usually does not build such underground mausoleums, and the location of this place is very far away from the area ruled by the Xixia Kingdom. The Xixia people built tombs here The possibility is almost zero.The structure we have seen so far is very different from the Xixia tomb.

But what surprised me the most was the relief on the gate before. The carving style of this relief is very similar to those well-known sculptures of Xixia, and it seems to be a product of the same era.So now I am a little confused. It is very likely that the person who carved the gate relief before was a Xixia craftsman, and this place has nothing to do with Xixia Kingdom at all.

The reason why we think it has something to do with Xixia is because we were influenced by the story of the black general told by Grandma Nice.However, Wang Lele investigated before, and the symbol has existed since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and it represents a kind of divine bird called Xuanniao, so it is very likely that this is a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with the Black General. "

Having said this, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt something was wrong.He suddenly remembered a legend about the black general that Grandma Nice told when she was telling the story.The black general was wrapped in black air all over his body. With a single finger, a large amount of black air rushed into the body of a general who had offended him. It took only a short time for the black air to suck the general. It became a mummy, and what they were looking for now was a mummy.

Recalling the black spots on the mummified corpse, Chen Ziyang shut up. Could it be that those black spots are the traces left after being sucked by the black mist?If the real cause of the mummy's death was that the black mist sucked all the essence and blood in its body, then the situation here matches the story of Grandma Nice again.

After shaking his head, Chen Ziyang thought, now is not the time to worry about these leisurely things, it is better to focus on the search, as long as the mummy is found, it should be able to answer many questions in their minds.It's better than making random guesses like this.

It is said to search in one direction, but in fact each group needs to search a large range, and eight people can only be divided into four groups.The search direction assigned by Liu Cong is basically to search down the steps, and there is no plan to turn back for the time being, so each team needs to search around a 45-degree angle.

With a radius of 50 meters, a range of 45 degrees, and insufficient light, a careful search is required. At the same time, in order to prevent the steel wire behind from breaking, the steel wire cannot be pulled quickly, which also slows down the search speed, so I want to finish the search. This area still needs a lot of time.

Searching within the first 20 meters is relatively fast. After all, the area of ​​this fan-shaped area is not very large, but as the search depth increases, the area of ​​​​the fan-shaped area to be searched becomes much larger.For every meter forward, the area to be searched will increase.

Fortunately, the communicator can still receive voices from other teams, which reassures Chen Ziyang and Shanshishuai a lot. Even if no one else is around, knowing that they are all safe and sound, the two of them have no confidence. A lot.

Just when Shuai Shanshi was about to step on the next step, Chen Ziyang suddenly stretched out his arm and blocked Shuai Sanshi's chest, preventing him from stepping down this time.

After all, we have been in contact with Chen Ziyang for a long time, and the two of them have experienced a lot of things together, so Shuai Shi reacted immediately, quickly retracted his feet, and at the same time squatted down quickly, using his right hand. The submachine gun hanging on his shoulder was raised, and he looked around vigilantly.

Without explaining anything to Shuai Shanshi, Chen Ziyang also squatted down, carefully looking at the place where Shuai Shanshi wanted to land just now, and he saw a trace of black air flowing on a black step.Looking at the way these black qi circulated, Chen Ziyang knew that this was the evil qi that could only be seen with his unique yin and yang eyes.

Before, Chen Ziyang judged that this place was an anti-feng shui place. It is very likely that the people who built this place buried those urn coffins around it to increase the evil spirit of this evil place in the center.But because Ghost Howling Slope has suffered from wind evil, the qi on the surface will be blown away by the wind, and the yin and yang eyes will have no effect at all.

But in this underground space with no air circulation, these evil spirits have nothing to hide from Yin Yang's eyes.This was also the first time Chen Ziyang saw these evil spirits after entering here.He knew he might have found a clue.

After telling Shuai Shanshi to move more slowly, Chen Ziyang led him to carefully avoid the evil spirits on the ground, while searching forward along the evil spirits, trying to find the source of these evil spirits.

Fortunately, the two of them were wearing gas masks, so they didn't worry about it. Their heavy breathing would interfere with the circulation of these evil spirits on the ground.The evil spirit on the ground is intermittent, but it can be generally judged that they all emanate from the same direction. It is estimated that the source of the evil spirit is not very strong, or it is the source of the evil spirit here. Too far, resulting in the thinning of the evil spirit.

Just after the two people followed the evil energy for more than 20 meters, the two people suddenly heard a "beep" sound from the machine.
