Generally speaking, the first thing that people who go to the tomb fear most is the ghost hitting the wall, and the second thing is the maze.
Although these two cannot kill anyone, they can trap an entire team until they run out of water and food!
What's more, we were in such a rush that we didn't even have time to bring water or dry food, only a few pieces of chocolate and compressed biscuits scrounged in the camp.
I once saw such an example in Qilin's archives. An elite archaeological team in the early years of the Republic of China was confident enough to open the tomb of Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom, but they did not want to fall into a maze shaped like a backbone.
They used various digging tools and even explosives, but they were unable to blow up the maze, and eventually everyone starved to death inside.
This also brought the nascent archaeological enterprise to a halt!
I looked at the gray maze in front of me with my eyes. There was one path on the left and right, and at the end of the two paths on the left and right, it split into two paths, just like mathematics that is constantly multiplied.
I couldn't help but look at Lao Jiang: "Should we encounter the zigzag maze?"
Lao Jiang smiled bitterly: "Have you ever seen a zigzag maze with so many forks? This time our master and disciple are in trouble."
I swallowed, tried to stay calm, and asked Lao Jiang: "Should I go left or right now?"
Lao Jiang only replied with three words: "I don't know."
I looked at Diao Ye again, and Diao Ye couldn't guess it. In the end, we could only walk to the passage on the right based on our feeling. Unexpectedly, before reaching the end of the passage, there was a sudden "click" and "click" sound of gears turning in the tower.
The passage we were in was like a lifted box. It suddenly rose one or two meters, and the violent bumps caused us to fall to the ground.
When the movement stopped, we realized that the environment we were in had also changed!
We actually entered a new secret room, which also depicts a mural about Le Monk.
Monk Le seemed to have entered another Central Plains country. When he walked into the city gate with a thin horse and a tin staff in hand, he found that this country seemed to be suffering from a huge catastrophe.
The people on both sides of the street are as skinny as wood. The old people are cooking soup and medicine, and the young people are wearing filial piety.
Many people were still coughing violently.
Everywhere he passed, one of the ten households in Xiwu's house had white lanterns hanging on the eaves, which meant that a relative of this household had passed away and was in mourning.
In addition, there are numerous reward notices posted everywhere. It reads: A plague has descended from the sky in Nanyan, causing the destruction of all living beings. I hope all the doctors will use their talents to save the people from disaster. Anyone who can cure the plague will be rewarded by the King of Yan with a thousand pieces of gold and will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!
Looking at the piles of red coffins on both sides of the street, Monk Le sighed, raised his hand and tore off the article, and then entered the palace for the first time.
King Yan seemed not to have expected that the person who unveiled the list would be a monk, not a medical officer.
While he was still looking at Monk Le, Monk Le nodded slightly towards the majestic King Yan, murmured Amitabha, and then explained his purpose.
He hoped that King Yan could stop the war, and in return, he would help King Yan eliminate the plague.
King Yan didn't believe this foreign monk.
He also said that if the other party really has such kindness, he should cure the people in the city first!
Monk Le smiled and nodded. King Yan did not expect that he would agree so quickly, so he quickly asked him what prescription he wanted to prescribe and what precious medicinal materials were needed to treat the plague?
The monk Le in the mural smiled slightly: "I only need you to issue two decrees. I heard that the strange snakes produced in your country, with black bodies and white rings, are both a delicacy and a medicinal material worth thousands of gold. People go to the mountains to hunt and kill them year after year. Even the little snakes in the nest are not immune to this snake."
"God couldn't bear it, so it sent down a plague to punish Dayan. Everything has a cause and effect. All you need is your majesty's first decree to stop the people of Yan from eating snakes. All the snakes caught will be released into the mountains and forests. Within three days, the plague will be gone. "
At that time, the legend of Monk Le had already spread in the Central Plains, and King Yan promulgated the first decree with a skeptical attitude.
Three days later, no one in the city died of the disease, and the cough symptoms gradually recovered.
King Yan even witnessed an incredible scene with his own eyes. Thousands of female snakes were released into the mountains and forests with their little snakes turning back three times at a time to express their gratitude for Le's kindness.
King Yan was greatly shocked and asked Monk Le: "Why is this happening? The people clearly pulled out the snake's teeth after hunting, and the snake's venom was removed. How could it cause a plague?"
Monk Le explained: "Everything has a cause and effect. The snake is the cause, and the plague is the effect. Your killing without justice is the cause, and the imminent destruction of the country is also the effect."
"Do you understand now?"
King Yan suddenly realized it and immediately promulgated the second decree.
From now on, there will be no more conscription in Dayan City, and skilled craftsmen will be sent immediately to Dunhuang to build the Mogao Grottoes together with other countries and friends.
After reading this mural, we felt so sad. We never thought that there really was such a person for thousands of years, traveling thousands of miles to more than ten countries, just to stop killing with just one word!
Xiang Wanli and Yueyue also burst into tears.
Xiang Wanli said to himself: "When I go back, I must write a key paper on Lehe Mogao Grottoes! Publish it internationally."
Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, and Diao Ye were all attracted by the patterns on the wall in front of us. Compared with the Yaksha that appeared before, this time it is a flying roc bird. The roc is so powerful that it is clearly Garuda among the eight celestial dragons.
Strangely, where Garuda's claws should have drawn a venomous snake hunted by Garuda, the snake disappeared and was replaced by a hole.
The hole was dark, and there seemed to be a mechanism knob that could open the door. The hole was just big enough for a person to put his arm in.
I asked Lao Jiang: "Are you asking someone to put their hand into the hole and unscrew the door?"
Lao Jiang nodded: "Yes. But according to my experience in cracking the mechanism, there must be countless rotating blades in this hole. The moment you put your hand in, the blade will fall and cut off your arm."
"Therefore, this kind of mechanism is also called: Broken Arm Brake in the industry."
"Really?"
I put my eyes in the west and looked around, but suddenly I said "Oh my god" and sat down on the ground.
Because I didn't see the sharp blade in Lao Jiang's mouth in the cave, but I saw a small snake entwined on the mechanism. The snake was completely black with white patterns covering its body, just like the exotic snakes from the Yan Kingdom on the murals.
However, it seemed to be in a dormant state at this time, and its body was tangled in the hole like twists and turns.
If he stretched it in, wouldn't he be bitten and poisoned and die instantly?
