Chapter 17 The Old Hu Disappeared (2)
Seeing that I was so sure, Liu Qi lit a cigarette and started thinking.

I poked it: "Do you see how weird these things are? The terracotta warriors and horses are all standing on the ground, why are they hanging in the air?"

□□patted his head: "I don't know, it's the first time I've entered such a tomb!"

Seeing that I couldn't get anything out of him, I didn't bother to talk to him, so I fumbled to Lao Hu's side, took out a half pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one.

The burial method of pottery figurines is a continuation of the ancient human sacrifice, because it is too cruel to use living people to bury people. Finally, after Qin Shihuang ruled the world, clay figurines similar to human figures were created.When visiting the terracotta warriors and horses in Lintong, Xi'an, I heard someone say that the terracotta warriors and horses there are just the tip of the iceberg of Qin Shihuang's tomb.

Although this is hearsay, it is not groundless after all.I told Liu Qi about this, and he took a deep breath and said, "Qin Shihuang is just one of the people who used pottery figurines. There was also a burial custom of pottery figurines in the tomb during the Han Dynasty."

I know he misunderstood me. He thought the tomb I was talking about was the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses Pit of Qin Wang Yingzheng.But after thinking about it, I was drawn by his understanding.

The place where we stand now is Lintong, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong.Suddenly, I was struck by lightning, and a wild idea appeared in my mind involuntarily.

If the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is the center, then the unearthed terracotta warriors are just opposite to our present place.It is bold to say that our location is exactly parallel to the terracotta warriors and horses. If the rumors are correct, then this place is another terracotta warriors and horses!
I tremblingly stated this conjecture to the boss, not because I was shivering from fear, but because I was too excited.If I really discovered the tomb of this eternal emperor, it would be a sensation in the whole world, even the whole world.Unexpectedly, he gave me a hard look, as if he was tired of me talking about the terracotta warriors.He interrupted me with a dry cough and said, "This tomb is not what you thought at all. Look at the top of your head. Are there any terracotta warriors of Yingzheng hanging in the air?"

Just as I was about to refute, Liu Qi went on to say, "Looking at this scale, it may be an ancient tomb before the Han Dynasty. And you can see that the soldiers don't even have any color, which is very different from Yingzheng's."

I couldn't help but look up when I heard the words behind. At first I didn't look carefully because I was afraid, but now it really looks like what he said.The soldiers in mid-air were all gray, without any sign of painting.

It may be that the head was raised too much, the back was heavy, and it suddenly fell backwards.I hurriedly stretched out my hands to support my body, then rebounded and sat firmly.After this series of things was over, I suddenly felt that something was wrong around me, but after thinking about it, I felt the same as usual.

Just when I was puzzled, the hand supporting my body drew a half-arc and lifted it up. At this moment, I finally knew what was wrong.Looking back hastily, damn it, Lao Hu hasn't disappeared.

My first reaction was that Hu woke up, but why didn't he make a sound after waking up.I don't know what's wrong, it seems that the surrounding environment has become weird.I hurriedly grabbed the miner's lamp in Liu Qi's hand and shone it behind me. I saw that the place where Lao Hu was lying just now was empty, and his whole body was covered in white sweat.Liu Qi seemed to be aware of the situation on my side, and turned his head to look nervously at the place where Lao Hu was lying just now.
