Instruct the archaeological team, and say that he is not a tomb robber

"It's over! I really can't hide this time!"

"The sandstorm is too fierce, it seems that we can only wait to die?"

Several team members were kneeling on the ground, covering their faces and weeping bitterly.

"The sheep-killing sacrifice is a tomb in the desert. Not only is the predecessor buried under the sheep-killing sacrifice, but we will also be buried here!"

Although Tukun is a warrior, he is also an out-and-out Mongol.

He is also familiar with this kind of legend of gods and ghosts that he has been obsessed with since childhood.

Immediately, Tu Kun knelt on the ground and bowed and bowed to the sheep-killing sacrifice in front of him.

Everyone stood there blankly, and no one stopped him.

Ye Xiao stood where he was, took out the Tianji compass from his backpack, and began to slowly rotate and observe.

Ye Xiao had heard some legends about the "sheep sacrifice" in the desert before in the Sahara.

Perhaps because of the different regions, the version that Ye Xiao heard before and the version that "Tu Kun" said seemed to be somewhat different.

In ancient times, in a wild place like the desert, there were many ancient countries that were called countries according to their cities.

In order to compete for resources and territory, these ancient countries often fought fiercely, and there were constant disputes between countries.

Dynasties also changed frequently.

After the death of the kings of these ancient countries, they were basically buried in the desert on the spot, with countless gold, silver and jade objects buried with them.

And in the desert, a profession was gradually derived—called "sand mouse".

These people are generally locals near the desert. When a person enters the desert, he will bring a sheep and seven or eight camels.

But when I came back, basically all the sheep were gone.

After three days, they will take the camels into the desert again, carrying many bulging sacks on the camels.

When I went, the sacks contained salt, food and water.

But when you come back...if the sack is still bulging, then you have to pay attention!

Because when you go into the desert, whether it is camels or people, basically all the supplies you bring in will be exhausted.

So put it in the sack at this time, and it will not be stuff like salt that is bulging!

Most of them are gold, silver and jade wares.

They will look at the place and know that there are some large or small tombs around many ruins in the desert.

In the tomb, there will be a lot of gold, silver and jade objects buried with him.

They took out valuable funeral objects and transported them out by camels.

Once every six months, someone will come to the desert to look for "sand mice", and take away gold, silver and jade at a low price and sell them to the black market.

And "sand mice" usually pile up a "sheep sacrifice" at the entrance of the tomb after the tomb is determined.

It is used as a mark to mark the tomb, and it is also for worshiping to the sky.

They tied the live sheep to the lamb sacrifice and left, and they would return here again after three days.

If the live sheep on the sheep sacrifice were already dead, or disappeared.

Then it was taken away by the heavens, which means that the heavens have accepted your gift, and you can go into the tomb to get things.

If the sheep is still alive, it means that God is unwilling to accept your sacrifice, so you can't go down this tomb, otherwise you will definitely die.

Therefore, when the "sand mouse" sees this, it will directly kill the live sheep and put it on the altar to sacrifice to God as an apology.

However, he left without looking back.

Definitely will never come here again.

……

But now, the sandstorm is too raging, covering the sky and the sun.

Ye Xiao couldn't observe the sky and the terrain, so he could only rely on the compass to determine whether there really was a tomb below.

But then, after turning back and forth for a while, the compass suddenly pointed in the direction of the sheep-killing sacrifice.

The corners of Ye Xiao's mouth slightly raised, and he thought:

"There is always a way out!"

Immediately, Ye Xiao put away the compass, ran straight to the front of the sheep-killing sacrifice, took out the military shovel and started digging.

For a moment the dust was flying.

Everyone in the surrounding archaeological team looked at Ye Xiao's actions with puzzled faces, and they didn't know what happened.

After a while,

The ordnance shovel in Ye Xiao's hand made a clang, as if it had dug something hard.

Take it out and see, it really is a bone!

Digging down again, a complete animal skeleton soon appeared.

It has been buried in the desert for an unknown number of years, but because of the dry climate of the desert, the skeleton is still extremely intact.

Almost at a glance, Ye Xiao recognized that it was the skeleton of a sheep.

"really!"

Ye Xiao thought secretly, then turned around to look at the crowd, and said loudly:

"Dig together with me, hurry up! There is a tomb in the ground! As long as we enter the tomb, we can avoid the sandstorm!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Xiao turned around and started digging crazily under the sheep-killing sacrifice.

Professor Zhou, Mu Li, Tu Kun and others looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and said:

"Excavation, a dead horse is a living horse doctor! At worst, it is equivalent to digging a grave for yourself! Sleep soundly!"

Mu Li "bah" between his hands, rubbed it hard, then took out the military shovel from the bag, and started digging together with Ye Xiao.

Although the rest of the people were at a loss, since Ye Xiao said that they could avoid the sandstorm, everyone took action one after another.

Soon, when the sand layer was dug down for nearly half a meter, a bluestone slab was exposed.

"There really is a tomb in the ground!"

Mu Li shouted excitedly, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing the bluestone slabs in the sand layer, everyone couldn't help but their eyes lit up suddenly.

Mu Li stared at Ye Xiao whose expression didn't change much, as if he felt that Ye Xiao had long been sure that there would be a tomb down here.

He swallowed sharply, feeling a little reverence for Ye Xiao again in his heart.

Instead, Mu Li was once again immersed in the joy of digging holes.

At the end of the excavation, this complete bluestone slab was exposed.

Ye Xiao stopped Mu Li from moving, lay down on the bluestone slab and tapped lightly. After listening for a while, Ye Xiao pointed to the bluestone slab and said decisively.

……

"Here it is! Unload this bluestone slab!"

After speaking, Ye Xiao inserted the engineering shovel into the gap between the bluestone slabs, and suddenly pushed the bluestone slabs up.

There is still a layer of square bricks under the bluestone slab. After lifting the square bricks one by one, the beams on the lower level are exposed.

Ye Xiao, Mu Li, and Tu Kun continued to dig until the entire beam was dug out, revealing a dark tomb passage.

After doing all this, Ye Xiao turned around and glanced at the sandstorm behind him.

The sandstorm was getting closer and closer to everyone, and the strong wind was tearing at everyone crazily, making people feel as if they were about to suffocate.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Xiao stood up, threw all the equipment into the tomb passage, and jumped in directly.

Professor Zhou, Mu Li, Tu Kun, Miao Feng and others also entered the dark corridor one after another.

After a while,

Everyone was already standing in the corridor, finally isolated from the howling wind outside.

Everyone leaned against the wall, took off the masks or scarves covering their mouth and nose, and began to breathe heavily.

After a long time, the heavy breathing finally faded away.

But instead, everyone present seemed to have remembered something, and all turned their gazes to Ye Xiao who was at the side, with strange expressions on their faces.

"Xiaoye, how did you know that there would be a tomb passage down here?"

Professor Zhou coughed twice and asked.

At this time, the rest of the archaeologists present were also puzzled, staring at Ye Xiao closely.

In desperation, Ye Xiao had no choice but to tell the story of "Sand Mouse".

After everyone listened, their faces were already full of shock.

I'm afraid that if Ye Xiao hadn't told them, they would have never known that such a black industry still existed in the desert.

"The bluestone slab and beams on the top look like they have been pried open! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get in so easily!"

Ye Xiao pointed up and said.

The crowd suddenly realized.

Suddenly, a strong hurricane blew through the entrance of the passage, and there was a faint howl of ghosts and wolves like a flute, which made people tremble in their hearts.

The fine sand is like quicksand, constantly flowing into the passage from the sheep-killing sacrifice.

"We have to leave here quickly. If the tunnel is not strong enough, we may not escape the fate of being buried alive when the sandstorm comes."

Ye Xiao said.

When everyone heard this, they all stood up, took out their flashlights and began to walk slowly in the corridor.

Ye Xiao and Professor Zhou were naturally left at the end of the team.

"The series of actions you just performed are simply too proficient. Did you often do this before?"
