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

Unexpectedly, Professor Zhou moved closer to Ye Xiao's ear and whispered softly.

Ye Xiao: "???"

Good guy... Am I going further and further down the road of being misunderstood?

Now it's really hard to tell.

Ye Xiao shook his head slightly, and immediately followed the team, shuttling between the corridors.

The corridor is narrow and not very large.

There are very few funerary objects in the two ear chambers, and it seems that some of them have been taken away.

The archaeologists present all looked at the scene in front of them with distressed faces, and sighed in pain.

Professor Zhou secretly glanced at Ye Xiao, and immediately came to the coffin in the ear room.

The coffins in the two ear chambers showed signs of being pried open.

Apparently, the coffin had also been ransacked by "sand mice".

Professor Zhou and the others had no intention of opening the coffin, but were planning to deduce who was buried in the coffin from the depiction on the coffin.

After a while, Professor Zhou and the rest of the archaeologists stood up, shaking their heads in disappointment.

"Basically, there are only some totems depicted on the coffin, and there is no relatively complete written information. I can't be sure which country this is!"

But in turn, Professor Zhou was puzzled and said:

"No, both ear chambers have been found, the main tomb should not be far away? Why is there no main tomb?"

Professor Zhou came out of the corridor suspiciously.

The entire tomb passage is a corridor, and there are only two ear chambers above the corridor, and the main tomb chamber is completely gone.

Ye Xiao stretched out his slender index finger and middle finger, feeling around the wall.

But after a long time, Ye Xiao didn't notice the location of the mechanism.

"The walls in the corridor are just bluestone, and there is no sign of a hidden door!"

Hearing this, Professor Zhou couldn't help frowning more and more, and fell into deep thought.

Although Professor Zhou doesn't know much about Mongolian culture, it is generally like this kind of miniature tomb, and the people buried in the tomb are generally not too high-ranking.

Therefore, two ear chambers plus a main tomb should be the highest specification for this tomb.

but……

But now no matter what, no one could find the main tomb.

A good tomb, but without the existence of the main tomb, anyone would think it is impossible, right?

Then there is only one possibility—the main tomb is hidden!

Immediately, Professor Zhou mobilized everyone, even Mu Li and Tu Kun were sent to the ear room and every corner of the corridor to look for the existence of secret doors.

But after a long time... no results.

Ye Xiao also searched for a long time in the tomb, but he couldn't find any sign of the existence of an institution.

But suddenly, Ye Xiao turned his eyes and fixed on the copper coffin.

"Organ, in the coffin!"

After speaking, Ye Xiao pulled out the engineering shovel and inserted it into the gap in the sarcophagus. With a little force, the lid of the sarcophagus bounced off and fell aside.

Professor Zhou looked at the sarcophagus lid that fell on the ground with a painful face.

But suddenly, the scene inside the coffin firmly attracted Professor Zhou's attention.

There are two villains in the sarcophagus.

At first glance, ordinary people might think that there are two dolls among them.

But Professor Zhou really knows that these two villains are real people!

because……

"This villain... has mercury spots on his body!"

Professor Zhou's complexion changed suddenly, and he frowned suddenly.

"Hurry up, cover your mouth and nose, you'll be in trouble if you get mercury poisoning!"

Hearing this, no one in the room dared to hesitate, and directly covered their mouth and nose with a mask.

Ye Xiao cast his gaze into the sarcophagus suspiciously.

But unexpectedly,

The villain in this sarcophagus...is too small.

It seems to be only a little bigger than the palm of an adult, like two premature babies.

"This villain... is too small? It feels like he hasn't grown up yet!"

And at this moment, someone in the team said something.

Professor Zhou is serious.

He glanced at the two small figures in the sarcophagus, sighed slowly, and said:

"If the tomb owner's wife is buried in the other ear chamber, then it should make sense!"

"This should be a funeral room!"

……

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Miao Feng looked at Professor Zhou and couldn't help asking:

"These two ear chambers...how could they be funeral rooms? They shouldn't be?"

Unexpectedly, Professor Zhou nodded, and continued:

"In the desert at that time, there were indeed many countries with different customs."

"In some countries, even after death, the wife will go with the hero. Only pregnant women can avoid death!"

"But...if a pregnant woman gives birth to a dead baby, then the dead baby will be buried with his wife as well!"

"In the other tomb, it should be the wife of the owner of this tomb, and these two villains should be stillborn!"

When the voice fell, everyone fell into silence.

Although Daxia had already abolished the etiquette of burial with living people during the period when a hundred schools of thought were contending.

But it was unavoidable that in some wild places at that time, there would be such humiliating customs.

Professor Zhou put on his gloves, took out the two stillborn fetuses filled with mercury, shook his head slowly and said:

"Hope they've had a good birth!"

……

Press the mechanism at the bottom of the sarcophagus, and the stone slab at the bottom of the sarcophagus is slowly pulled out, revealing one of the long downward stairs.

Ye Xiao and others entered it one after another.

The main tomb was still narrow, with a huge square sarcophagus placed in the center, with pictures on all four walls and some words that Ye Xiao couldn't understand.

"This... this is Uyghur Mongolian! The person buried here seems to be the patriarch of a certain Mongolian tribe!"

"This patriarch's name is Arhan, and he seems to be the patriarch of a relatively large tribe!"

"But he died fighting someone else!"

"Here is a detailed record of that battle..."

As he spoke, Professor Zhou shifted his gaze to the next mural.

But as soon as he turned his gaze away, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if struck by lightning!

"This...this is..."

For a moment, Professor Zhou couldn't even speak clearly, he could only falter and point at the mural, his face full of excitement.

"What's the matter, Professor Zhou? What happened?"

Miao Feng was the first to notice Professor Zhou's strangeness, and hurried forward to ask with concern.

But when his gaze came into contact with the mural in front of him, Miao Feng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief!

"Isn't this the mural in the Buddha Hall of the Esai Grottoes?"

At this moment, Professor Zhou already felt that his brain was a little confused, and his complexion gradually became dull.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao also walked quickly to the mural, and began to look at the mural in front of him.

This should be the second piece of the trapezoidal mural in the Buddha Hall of the Esai Grottoes.

Above the mural is a river, and the men and horses on both sides are holding scimitars and fighting fiercely.

Just from the outline of the lines on the mural, everyone can feel the brutality of the battle, let alone the real situation of that battle at that time!

After Ye Xiao looked at it for a while, he found that this mural was somewhat similar to the mural in the Buddha Hall, but it was not exactly the same!

So immediately, Ye Xiao said:

"This is not the mural in the Buddhist temple, there are many differences!"

"But... Genghis Khan's last battle during his lifetime should have been fought against the owner of the tomb here!"

"In that battle, Genghis Khan was also seriously injured, and he passed away soon after suffering from illness!"

Instead, Ye Xiao looked at Professor Zhou, who was still a little sluggish, and asked:

"Professor Zhou, is there any record on this river? What's its name?"

Hearing Ye Xiao call his name, Professor Zhou suddenly came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Oh! Let me see...it seems to be called...Nimtie River?"

"what???"
