Chapter 73 Exposure
After passing through the two tomb gates, the width of the tomb passage exceeded Chen Ziyang's imagination. The tomb passage was almost as wide and narrow as the 30-meter-wide tomb gate he had seen in the square before.

Both sides of the entire tomb passage are neatly laid out with stone bricks.Because the tomb passage was too wide, the troops of the Eastern Dynasty were divided into two columns and walked slowly along the two sides of the tomb passage. Only one person can realize how wide the tomb passage is.

Seeing the scale of this tomb passage, Chen Ziyang reckoned that the tomb was not too small, and because he had encountered the mechanism of poisonous quicksand before, the three civil engineers let Shuai, who was the fastest responding, walk in the front.The three followed the group, walking cautiously.

When Chen Ziyang was focusing on his surroundings, he suddenly heard a "poof" from somewhere, and he felt a breeze blowing on his face from the side.Looking up, a hole appeared out of nowhere on the wall in front of his head. This hole was as thick as a human finger. It seemed that the hole had been there a long time ago, and the gust of wind from the hole just now blown the hole away. All the dust inside was blown out.

Why is there wind here, and what is this hole for?Chen Ziyang stared at the hole sideways.

"Get down!" After someone yelled, Chen Ziyang felt himself thrown to the ground by Shuai Shi in front of him.Chen Ziyang, who was in a mess all of a sudden, could only hear the sound of puff, puff, resounding continuously on this wall.At this time, he suddenly realized that someone had touched the mechanism in the tomb passage, and there should be something like crossbow arrows shooting out of the holes on both sides.

A few minutes later, the popping sound stopped. Everyone carefully got up and looked at the two sides of the tomb passage. There were many holes on both sides of the tomb passage. Most of these holes had an iron crossbow arrow Protruding from these holes, some crossbow bolts only protruded halfway, and the other half remained in the holes, and many crossbow bolts fell on both sides of the tomb passage.

Seeing this situation, everyone shouted how lucky they were. If it wasn't for the springs and other mechanisms that hold the crossbow bolts, because they were too old to be inflexible or invalid, the crossbow bolts just now would have made them All of them became hedgehogs.

However, most of the current crossbow bolts did not cause any damage because the excitation force at the rear was not enough. Seventy to eighty percent of the ten percent were not fired successfully and got stuck in the hole. It is lethal, and apart from causing scratches to a few soldiers, the mechanism in the tomb passage did not cause too much trouble for everyone.

Because of this kind of thing, everyone is more careful when going forward.Soon, the tomb passage of nearly 100 meters came to an end.

Rather than saying that the tomb passage has come to an end, it is better to say that the stone walls on both sides of the tomb passage and the rock top above are gone. The tomb passage extends into a huge stone cave, and everyone is walking through a stone that is not too wide. On the road, and on both sides of the stone road, there are all cliffs.At this time, the road that everyone is walking on is like a solitary boat in the endless dark ocean, and it looks so small in the darkness.

Two Eastern soldiers fired two flares to both sides of the tomb passage, and the flares with parachutes slowly fell from midair.Under the action of the flares, everyone could clearly see the scale of the cave.

In fact, this cave is not as huge as they imagined. There are stone walls more than 100 meters away on both sides of the tomb passage, and just below the tens of meters of cliffs on both sides of the tomb passage, there are neatly arranged rows. The wooden coffin, it seems that this is the place where the sacrifices were buried.

Just when the flares were about to go out, the two soldiers each fired a flare again. This time, everyone used the light to focus on observing the coffins under the cliffs on both sides.

There are probably more than 200 coffins on each side.Seeing that these coffins have not been opened or suffered any damage, Chen Ziyang is relieved. Even if there are some weird things inside, they will basically not be able to climb up to such a high height. These coffins should not be used for the time being. worried.

However, Chen Ziyang was [-]% sure of one thing through the firing of flares by the soldiers of the Eastern Dynasty.That is to say, Shuai Sanshi's guess was correct. These Eastern Dynasty soldiers did understand the situation in front of the tomb gate.Otherwise, why didn't they fire flares when they searched the square before the tomb gate, and didn't take a look at what was under the cliff under the square.

There is only one reasonable explanation for the completely different behavior of these Eastern soldiers now and before, and that is the place before the tomb gate, and they have indeed already investigated it.Although they pretended to search in front of the scientific expedition team, this detail of the flare betrayed them.

As the crowd continued on this road, the rock walls on both sides of the road surrounded them again.It's just that the rock walls this time are all natural rock walls.After a while, the rock walls on both sides of the road suddenly enlarged, and the entire tomb passage suddenly became much taller.And there are many rock reliefs on the rock walls on both sides.Chen Ziyang knew that this was the real tomb passage.

Chen Ziyang, who had no research on these things, only felt that the shapes and shapes of these relief carvings were strange and strange. They were all human faces and dragon shapes that he had never seen before.Wang Lele, who was beside him, explained that these were the totems worshiped by the people of the Eastern Dynasty, but because their carving methods were different from the traditional domestic carving methods, these things would look weird.

In a short while, the Eastern Dynasty personnel discovered two ear chambers on both sides of this passage, and found many buried objects in them, including many priceless gold utensils and other objects.

But it is clear that Battalion Commander Jin's purpose is not here. He did not let the Eastern Dynasty soldiers and the scientific expedition team excavate these items, but let everyone continue to dig deeper.Chen Ziyang felt very strange, he couldn't figure out what this battalion commander was looking for, did this battalion commander know that there was something in the tomb that he needed?
After going deeper, a total of four ear chambers were excavated, most of which were valuable funerary objects, and in a huge stone chamber connected at the end of the passage, soldiers of the Eastern Dynasty discovered a jade coffin!

Then the members of the scientific expedition team were called here. Looking at the familiar scene in front of them, the three civil engineers looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. Why did the coffin of Cardinal Wang run here again? coming!
