Chapter 21
e finishing one, he lit another."Wow! Little Li Jing is even better than your mother at this. Looks like we caught another one illegally dumping trash!" The fortune teller sat on his mat, smiling slyl...Tomb robbing is not a child's play. There are scientific arguments involved, and it's not like what is shown on television with bodies scattered everywhere, zombies hopping around, and maggots crawling all over.
For thousands of years, most bones have turned to dust.
Following the tunnel down, Jade Sister walked back and forth with her headlamp on, observing details we might have missed.
If even the tomb raiders say Master Yao is exceptional, just looking at this woman, Yao Yumen, you know she’s no ordinary person. Reaching the end of the burial passage, after looking at the stone wall for a while, she found another problem.
"Look, look here," she crouched at the northwest corner of the stone wall and beckoned us over.
"Yumen, is this handwriting" Yao Wen ce, who rarely spoke before, said at this time.
I crouched down out of curiosity to take a look.
I saw that where Jade Sister's finger had been, some of the stone skin had peeled off. After the water in the pit drained away, some mud on the corner of the wall had dried up. I could vaguely see what looked like writing.
She took out a bottle of water from her bag and poured a little onto the wall.
The stone wall absorbed water rapidly. After rubbing it back and forth with my hand, a piece of carved text slowly emerged.
"This.... this is ancient gold script... nine layered seal script!" Sun Lao Da exclaimed in astonishment as he made out the characters.
Yu Jie frowned: "This curious tomb, as far as I know, this kind of script was already out of use in the late Shang Dynasty. How could it still be used in the Western Zhou"
We splashed water again.
Then we discovered that the entire wall, with its staggered arrangement, was surprisingly inscribed with ancient gold script in nine layers!
Everyone was startled. Sun Lao Da immediately came up with a guess, saying, "Could this be the epitaph of the tomb owner"
"That's right, could it be an epitaph" Lao San agreed.
Yu Jie shook her head in disbelief after a moment of shock. "It's highly unlikely. Inscriptions on tombs weren't popular during the Western Zhou Dynasty. Have you considered that this wall... could be a door"
"Door What do you mean" I didn't understand.
Jade Sister took out a powerful flashlight from her bag. She touched the stone wall, feeling it inch by inch.
The rest of us seeing this also helped to touch.
After searching for a long time, I touched this wall back and forth, up and down, many times. Besides those indecipherable nine-layered script, I found nothing...
Sun Lao Da said coldly, "Lao San, is there a detonator in the bag"
"Big brother, I brought four."

At first glance, give me an explosion.
A flash of cold light crossed Sun Laoban's eyes.
"You're insane!" Jade Sister stood up to stop them. "Using explosives for a Dharma initiation is bad enough, but doing it in a burial passage! Do you want to bury us all alive"
"Then what do you suggest" Old Sun was still relatively calm.
"Maybe we should look around the area. If it is a stone door, the craftsmen from the Western Zhou Dynasty would have definitely used natural stone to seal it. There must be some hidden compartments left behind by the craftsmen nearby. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get out themselves."

"Jade... Jade Sister."
I raised my hand to speak.
Everyone turned their heads to look at me.
Taking a deep breath, I pointed to the west and said, "Jade Sister, there's a large earthenware jar in the corner of the West Ear Room. Underneath the jar, there's a black hole, and it seems very deep."
>
"Come, let's take a look," she nodded and walked directly towards the west ear chamber.
Entering the West Ear Chamber, when Sun Lao Da saw the large jar, he walked over and pushed open the blue stone slab covering its top.
Seeing the black hole at the bottom of the tank, he turned to me and asked, "Yunfeng, how did you know"irements."Having left that sentence, he hurried out, pulling the curtain aside.“Xiao An...what’s this” At this time, another male white coat apparently didn't know what was going on."Senior brother, j...
