"It has been several months since I returned to the west. I only know that you and my husband died of illness in Shu for more than a year. I left home when I was young, and returned when I was old. I didn't see a hometown, but the old man's ears. The grate he gave you, hold it in your hand, and ride the wind.And go, see old friends in the end."

This is the last sentence on the bamboo slips on the desk closest to the hand, written by the old woman who died in the tomb.

"The following is just my irresponsible conjecture, the deceased is gone."

After Jiang Ning and Shen Wangyan entered the tomb, Bao Le just stood at the door and bowed deeply to the bone in the tomb. She rarely had such a serious expression.

"From the wall carvings in the front room, we can see the life of the owner of the tomb. From her relationship when she was a child, to her marriage with her husband when she was an adult, and then to her children and grandchildren, it can be regarded as a happy and complete life."

"But the truth is not so simple. Princess You was not favored when she was young, and she was given the word 'worry' until she was an adult. The reason for giving the word was that the superior wanted her to marry the Huns. The marriage at that time was basicallyExiled for life. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always been an ambitious emperor. He has sent the princess and pro-Huns several times. The purpose is to "unify the Western Regions". Princess You knows this better than anyone else, but she has not rebelled against fate.ability."

"Until she stood up."

Bao Le pointed to the bones and said: "They knew each other when they were young, the princess is not favored, only this female official, she treats her not only as a servant, but more as a sister. The two sleep and eat together, play together as classmatesShe knew that she had a sweetheart, and that she would marry far away in the Western Regions soon. The two of them had similar figures, and for an unfavored princess, no one would care what she looked like. So on the day of the marriage,In order to repay her kindness, she took the place of Princess You and got on the carriage to the Western Regions."

"They were married on the same day, so there is an inscription on the wall of the front room, saying that there will be two cars running with their backs on the day of the wedding. 'May this life be smooth, the husband and wife will be harmonious, and the children and grandchildren will be full', this is her best blessing.”

"But maybe she didn't expect that after many, many years, she survived many people, and finally she was able to return to Han when she was old," Bao Le sighed.I was able to see the last side of Princess You. Princess You and her husband passed away due to illness a few years ago. She searched all over Princess You's descendants, only to find that she lived a happy life and finally got what she wanted. The only regret in her life is thatIt’s because I couldn’t see her again until I died, and I couldn’t relive the memories of the two of us playing fireflies at night and waiting for the dawn together on summer nights when we were young.”

"So this tomb is actually a false princess who returned, and it was built to commemorate the real princess. Whether it is the wall carvings or the utensils in the tomb, it does not expressly indicate that this is a princess tomb, but the scale can always be seenThere are some traces of the princess tomb. There are also some strange places, such as the white jade gate outside the main tomb. The carved totems are wolves and eagles commonly used by tribes in the Western Regions in ancient times. Many of the ornaments in this tomb are more Western Region styleA few. After returning to Han Dynasty, she got rid of many habits, but after all, she left home and married into the Western Regions when she was young, so it is inevitable that she still has some things that cannot be changed."

"This emerald comb has appeared many times in her diary. She was sold into the official family when she was young. She came to her with apprehension and awe, but she never thought that the princess would treat her like a sister and even comb her hair herself.This emerald scorpion was given by the princess back then, and she has been carrying it with her for the rest of her life. When setting foot on the car with her relatives, when the Western Regions were struggling and wandering, when returning to the Han Dynasty full of joy, and the final deadline is approaching,Wait until she picks her up."

Bao Le sniffed, and the emotional little girl cried a little: "I don't know if the princess came to pick her up in the end. She said, 'Ride away with the wind, and I will meet the old friend at last', so... it must have been received."

In the end, later generations finally learned of this story, knowing that the princess was worried and loving her husband all her life, but they didn't know the name of the female official who married the Western Regions back then.Maybe, she doesn't care about these either.Everything she wished for had come true, and she was finally lying on this chair, holding the emerald shovel in her hand, and she must have left with a smile on her face.

Bao Le is very suitable for telling stories. After she finished speaking with emotion, Shen San was already crying like a macho man.

Shen Wangyan couldn't help feeling a little emotional as he came out of the tomb.For an ancient tomb like this, after the archaeological team excavates and transfers the cultural relics in the tomb, there are usually two endings. A museum or base is established on the spot and opened to tourists.Or just leave it vacant, don't care about anything, and let it be annihilated in the long river of history.

Either way, Shen Wangyan doesn't want to see it now.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Ning was the one who was most touched by this story among them.

Jiang Ning didn't expect Bao Le to say anything, but at the end, she was slightly dazed, and her eye circles turned red.She is not a sentimental person. Many years ago, she felt that her blood was cold, and she stayed in this world only to fulfill her last wish.What else in this world can touch a person whose heart doesn't hurt?

As if walking out of a nightmare, Jiang Ning bent down and smiled softly.

Everything is nothing more than a sentence "everyone suffers".

Bao Le has never seen Jiang Ning like this...maybe she has, the first time she saw her in the Shen family's old house that night, she was smiling like this.It was a kind of laughter that could be said to be laughing, rather than crying, it was ghostly and extremely sad.

Jiang Ning smiled, and opened her red lips lightly. It took a long time before she heard her sing a line of opera.

"One person, one favor, one favor, one promise, one promise for a lifetime, one thought in a lifetime, one person in one thought."

Bao Le guessed that she was in love with the scene, but who didn't get past it.

The matter of the owner of the tomb has come to an end.

Shen Wangyan approached Bao Le and asked her to give a general description of the main tomb and several corridors, and according to what she said, marked it on the map.Judging from the fact that the last corridor they walked was downward, it can be basically judged that the level of the main tomb is higher than that of the current false front chamber.

"The door of the maze you mentioned earlier probably corresponds to the eighth chessboard wall."

It was only then that Bao Le noticed that there was a chessboard-like carving on the eighth wall, and she was very interested in solving puzzles.Call it a chessboard, but it only has ten horizontal lines and twelve vertical lines.It is said that the above is a chess piece, but it is not placed on the intersection, but placed in the grid.And there is no description of the horizontal and vertical, only a chess piece on the chessboard is in the pressed state.

There is too little information, and Bao Le has no way to break through.

Shen Wangyan walked to her side, but his focus was not on the wall itself, but on his guesses behind the wall.

"Did you feel that after entering the corridor, did it rise or fall?"

Bao Le shook his head in confusion.

Jun Zhi pondered for a while and said, "Ascend."

It is estimated that he is the only one who can judge this. After all, except for Shen Wangyan, the rest of the people probably don't know that the place where they stay has moved up and down.

Shen Wangyan took out the sketchbook, and ten minutes later, the structure of the entire tomb was basically completed.He divided the tomb into upper and lower floors, and the one where they are staying is the upper floor, and the one connected to the bull lantern corridor is the lower floor.When Bao Le saw it, he was astonished.

"Big touch! Have you considered accepting the manuscript?"

Young Master Shen twitched the corners of his mouth. With his worth, only Bao Le could make a joke like asking him to accept the manuscript.But he is indeed very powerful, even from Baole's narration, he can draw the structure of the main tomb and the corridor as if he saw it with his own eyes.He even super-restored the stone statue of the palace man holding the fan in the corridor, although he only drew a pair of meanings to be lazy.

"So the question is, how do we get out now?" Bao Le asked.

Shen Wangyan said: "There are two possibilities. One is that there are organs in the fake front room, and you can go out directly after you find it. The second is to wait. I guess these auxiliary rooms will go down by themselves. We just need to wait for it to go down and then return to the real front room."room, just go back the way you came.”

Bao Le felt reliable.

"I personally prefer the second one," added Young Master Shen, "We have already inspected this tomb during the dozen hours of waiting for you, you can ask Jiang Ning about this."

Bao Le looked at Jiang Ning, and Jiang Meiren glared at her with eyes of "don't ask, I'll kill you if you ask". It's probably because she has gone through everything that can be turned and found nothing, which makes her so upset.

In Bao Le's heart, he had basically agreed with Shen Wangyan's inference, and determined that the only thing he needed to do now was to wait patiently.

She was always restless, wandering around in the tomb when everyone was resting.Everyone stayed in such an environment for a long time, and even Jiang Ning was not in the mood to study any more, so she found a place to sit down and have a rest.Jun Zhi leaned on Shen Wangyan, and the two of them closed their eyes and rested their minds almost in the same movement.As far as Shen San was still in the mood, he had nothing to say to Bao Le, and most of them advised her to sit down and rest.

Bao Le thought that he had rested in the main tomb for long enough, and now he just wanted to take a walk.

At that time, she didn't know much about her physique for accurately stepping on mines. Even though she was sucked in just after looking at it, she still didn't learn the lesson.What's more, she really thought that Jiang Ning hadn't found it for more than ten hours because there was really no mechanism here.

Speaking so much, I just want to explain that when she walked down the stairs to the highest platform of the altar, stepped on the mechanism and fell down, none of the five people present reacted, including herself.

Shen San was the only one who opened his eyes at that time: "Master, Xiao Jiang has fallen!"

Everyone gathered around the altar and carefully inspected the place where Shen San said Bao Le fell, but found no mechanism that could be triggered.Instead, it was Jun Zhi who reached out and tapped twice on the floor tiles of the altar.

"empty."

Shen Wangyan looked at Jiang Ning meaningfully, and the latter was very calm.It's true that she can't blame her, Jiang Ning is lazy in the first place, this altar has to climb several steps to go up, in the ten hours here, she only checked it once.What's more, didn't a group of them find a mechanism to go down here?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Shen Wangyan's walkie-talkie rang.

Bao Le's wailing voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Shen~Wang~yan~Shen Wangyan, please stop talking, it hurts me to death, this is considered a work-related injury, a work-related injury! Reimbursement! I heard that there is no reimbursement!"

Hearing that she was still so energetic, Shen Wangyan was finally relieved.

Bao Le was still terrified when she fell suddenly. The specific performance was that she forgot to scream.By the time she reacted, she had already fallen firmly to the ground.Fortunately, a thick haystack was laid on the ground, and fortunately she was wearing chest and elbow pads. Although it hurt, it was just a pain, and she didn't suffer any injuries.

The first thing she realized was to use the walkie-talkie to ask Shen Wangyan for medical expenses, and there was nothing like this financial obsessive.

"Where did you fall?" Shen Wangyan asked her through the walkie-talkie.

The little girl struggled to stand up, but unfortunately she didn't bring a flashlight, and the lighting ability of the fluorescent stick was limited, but after she walked around the wall, she still found that it was an octagonal secret room.

Bao Le said: "It should be the space between the two front rooms. It's about the same size as the altar, octagonal. It's very dark below. I didn't bring a flashlight, so I can't tell how high it is."

Shen Wangyan was stunned for a moment, then turned to Shen San and said, "I remember you have a portable bright light there."

Shen San turned on the light to the maximum, and Jiang Ning felt that her eyes were about to be blinded.The light shined on the altar for a while, and after a while, Bao Le finally heard that he saw the light, and Shen San hurriedly fixed the strong light.Jun Zhi searched the place where the light illuminated, and as expected, he could see a gap.

"This seam is too narrow, there is no way to move it." Jiang Ning shook her head.

Shen Wangyan went through the tools he brought over in his mind, from prying open the stone roof to lifting the stone roof, but before he said all these methods, he was vetoed one by one by himself.The tools they brought down were really limited, and their ideas could not keep up with the actual operation.

Finally, he seriously thought about the possibility of blowing up the stone roof.

Bao Le didn't know what the people above were struggling with. She judged from the gap where the light was exposed that the height of the secret room was about ten meters.It's okay to fall from such a height, thanks to the haystacks at her feet.

She walked around before, paying attention to the general shape of the secret room, but now she leaned against one of the walls and found that there were patterns carved on the wall.The turquoise fluorescent light was taken on the stone wall. Although it was not enough to see the whole picture at once, but she took pictures of the fluorescent stick from top to bottom, and she found that the patterns carved on the wall in front of her were very interesting.

The following is purely Bao Le's own imagination.

The main body carved on the wall is a giant who came from the clouds, and there are also a group of people much smaller than him on the ground, kneeling and kneeling.The giant held a string of bells and raised his hand to give to the leaders of the crowd.When the leader gets the bell, he has wisdom, and since then he can distinguish the voice of all things.The bells in the picture are not ordinary bells, they are densely painted with strange patterns. Bao Le thinks these totems look familiar, but he can't remember where he saw them.

She shined the light stick on the stone wall next door, and this one was a completely different scene.

There are no longer giants in the picture, but there are countless people with similar shapes and masks. They are dressed in white robes, shuttle back and forth on an arched stone bridge, and are busy planting red flowers.The river under the stone bridge is fast-moving. If you look carefully, you can find human eyes soaked in the river and human hands barely sticking out of the river.

Bao Le called out, "Do you want to be in this underworld?" No matter how you looked at it, it looked like the legendary "Wangchuan Naihe Bridge", and the red flower that was planted seemed to be the Bana flower that I had seen in Shen Wangyan's secret room.

Although the picture is very dark, she still wants to see it after seeing it, which is actually a bit addictive.

Looking at the third picture, she only saw a bird, which looked like a phoenix, but only had one wing and one foot.Fenghuang seemed to be bent, just when Bao Le wanted to get a closer look, he heard the sound of running water.

Bao Le was taken aback, and hurriedly cast a light on his feet, only to find that the secret room started to leak water.

"Shen, Shen Wangyan." Bao Le's voice was crying.

The people above were all surprised.

"What happened, are you hurt?"

Bao Le lifted his foot: "When I fell just now, the ground was full of dry grass. I didn't notice it. There seemed to be several water injection holes below. The water had already covered my shoe upper."

"Is it just water?"

Bao Le dipped it with a glove, and it was colorless, odorless, and non-corrosive.

"It's water."

This may be the only good news among the many bad news.

Shen Wangyan thought about it calmly and asked, "Can you estimate how long it will take to fill the water?"

Bao Le gestured with his hand, then looked up at the top of the stone: "Maybe half an hour? I'm not sure, I'm not good at this..."

"Calm down, I'll help you remember the time, and you can see how much the water level will rise."

"it is good."

Shen Wangyan looked at the watch: "Water will fill the entire secret room in up to 26 minutes, and there is an error in human estimation. If the stone roof has not been opened within 20 minutes, I will use explosives to blow it open.You hold your breath and go a little further downstream. Do you hear me?"

Bao Le wanted to cry but had no tears: "But I can't swim..."

Shen Wangyan felt a little headache.
