We also discussed who would go down.
The fat translator wanted to go down, but because he was fat, it would be more difficult to go down. I suggested that he wait at the top, and I repeatedly assured him that there would definitely be no shortage of cultural relics for him, so he shouldn't worry.
The fat translator also smiled and said: "Look what you said, I just said I wanted to go down and take a look. It's not because I'm afraid that you are greedy for cultural relics. I'm just curious and want to take a look."
I said that there might be danger down there. It would be inconvenient for you to run in such a frame, and it would be slower to come up. It was best to stay up there. The fat translator nodded and said that be it.
Little Pigtail definitely doesn’t want to go down. He only has Xiao Ye in his eyes. He will be wherever Xiao Ye is. He said he wanted to stay up there with Xiao Ye and the others. I thought that would be a good idea. On the one hand, he can guard against vultures and the like, and on the other hand, he can stay up there with Xiao Ye and the others. On the one hand, it can also prevent fat translators.
Jianzui also wanted to go down, but I felt that it would be impossible for a man with Pigtail to go up there, so I asked him and Pigtail to wait on top, and finally decided that the three of us would go down.
That's me, Zhao Hu, and that beard.
The beard means that Jack was particularly interested in these Zao Tombs and so on. He traveled thousands of miles to get here, but died without even entering the Zao Tombs. He had to satisfy Jack's regret, so he wanted to go down.
As soon as the bearded man said he was going down, the fat translator smiled and said: "Look, he wants me to translate in front of you when he talks to you. If he goes down, how can you talk to him?"
I thought the same thing and forgot about this one. The only ones who can speak English here are Xiao Ye and Lu Xi. I glanced at Xiao Ye and saw that her body was very light. It would be best for her to work as a translator, but This is definitely inappropriate.
First of all, she is probably not willing to go down because she is mysophobic. Secondly, if she goes down, the short-haired girl will definitely follow her. I am afraid that things will get messy. After thinking about it, I can only agree to let the fat translator go down.
When we were preparing to go down, I also told Little Braid and Sharp Beak: "Be careful of these vultures. They may attack you when they see less people. If not, if the situation is not right, you can go down into the tomb, do you understand?"
Jianzui raised his head and glanced in the direction of the tunnel: "Then can't we run into the tunnel?"
I said this is still some distance from the tunnel. If a vulture attacks you, how can you run back? Even if you run back, the vulture can still get into the tunnel, and the vulture may not go down this hole.
"Why won't the vulture go down?" he continued to ask.
I said that the vulture might have been arranged by the owner of Zao's tomb. I didn't want to argue with him about how the vulture could go down. I gave him some instructions and grabbed the rope and went down first.
Because there is no dog oil lamp, I can only light a piece of paper after I go down, and then observe the burning state of the paper to judge whether it is suitable for people to stay inside.
Facts have proved that this place will not be suitable for people to stay for a while, because the color of the flame is blue and it goes out quickly, which means that the paper is not fully burned and there is insufficient oxygen in it.
At that time, Zhao Hu was the second one to come down, and the third one was the bearded one. The beard had just come down two or three meters, and I hurriedly waved my hand to him, indicating that he should go up first.
The fat translator also quickly translated for him.
After the beard went up, Zhao Hu and I naturally hurried up.
"Is there no air down there?" asked the bearded man.
I said it was probably because there was no ventilation for a long time and there was no oxygen inside, so we should wait a little longer. Just like that, after waiting for another hour or so, we went down again. This time after lighting the paper, the burning state became much more normal.
Of course, we carried a lot of paper with us and planned to burn it every ten minutes, and go immediately if there was an emergency.
As for the situation in this tomb, I was very surprised.
This is like a large hall, similar to the one I encountered in the Prince's Tomb before, but the scale is not that big. Think about it, how could the original Tubo Dynasty compare with the Northern Wei Dynasty? The scale must be much smaller.
"Are these ministers going to court with the Tibetan King of Tibet?" Zhao Hu asked after shining a flashlight ahead.
Where he shines, there is a throne, and a person wearing Zao clothes is sitting there, but it is also carved out of human bone cement.
A few meters in front of the throne, there is a small step. From the bottom of the step to our side, there are ministers standing on both sides of the long aisle. The ministers all face the King of Tibet and bend down. The subordinates looked in reverence, and everyone seemed to be holding a lot of treasures in their hands. When they shined their flashlights on them, they would occasionally turn golden.
Zhao Hu was delighted: "Damn, this treasure is placed directly in the hands of those ministers. We can just go and get it. This is the easiest time to get the treasure among all the tombs we have visited, right?"
I said don't just look at the cultural relics and treasures. Remember that our purpose is to find clues to escape. Even if these treasures are taken out, what's the use if we can't escape.
The bearded man was probably shocked by this scene. He kept buying more and more. He also walked towards some of the courtiers, as if he wanted to reach out and touch it or take the treasure on it.
I immediately said to the fat translator: "Hurry up and tell him not to touch or touch him. Be careful, it may be dangerous."
The fat translator then hurriedly spoke to the bearded man, and the bearded man also retreated.
I also looked around the main hall at this time. There is a tomb in each of the four corners of the main hall. Together with the main hall, it may be like the five temples that Sanji mentioned before.
"What should we do now? Where can we find clues?" Zhao Hu asked.
I pointed towards Zao: "That must be it."
Zhao Hu smiled: "You don't think there is a switch or something under his butt. Let's go over and press the switch, and then the tunnel outside will lead to the outside world, right?"
I echoed him: "Don't tell me, it's really possible."
After walking twenty or thirty meters forward, we arrived at the front of the group of ministers. The ministers standing here were obviously of a higher status than those behind them. They were much more dignified and imposing, both in their clothes and in their images.
And what surprised me a little was that the first few people didn't seem to be Tubo officials, because the clothes they wore were obviously ancient Han costumes, and they were costumes from the Tang Dynasty. One of them was wearing a crown and a dragon. The robe is obviously that of a Tang Dynasty king. Next to the Tang Dynasty king, there are several courtiers standing. Their clothes are basically the clothes of Tang Dynasty officials.
Regardless of whether they were the king of Tang Dynasty or the officials of Tang Dynasty, they were shorter in stature and were obviously different from other ministers.
This makes me a little confused:
This is obviously the tomb of the Tibetan King of Tubo. How come there are Tang kings and Tang Dynasty officials inside? Moreover, looking at the way they stood, they looked very humble, and the jewels they held in their hands were more and more valuable, as if they were deliberately trying to please Zao.
An illiterate person like Zhao Hu also noticed the difference. He asked me: "Hey, these clothes are different. They are not from the same dynasty, right?"
After I told him, he cursed angrily: "During the Tubo period, the Tang Dynasty was supposed to be more powerful, right? He was the Tibetan King of Tubo, but he actually dared to ask the Tang King to pay tribute to him? What if the Tang Dynasty had known about this back then? I'm afraid the King of Tang will have to lead his troops to destroy him."
I smiled and said, "What period should we score? During the Tang Dynasty, Tubo would definitely not dare to make trouble. But after the Anshi Rebellion, there was a Tibetan king of Tubo who led troops to attack the Tang Dynasty and even occupied Chang'an at that time. city, and supported a puppet emperor, but it ended not long after."
"Holy shit, is there such a thing?" Zhao Hu was obviously surprised.
I'm right, I've seen it from some history books before.
Then, I thought for a while and said: "If I remember correctly, the Tibetan King of Tibet is called Trisong Detsen. He is honored as the Three Dharma Kings of Tibet by later generations. The other two are Songtsen Gampo and Trisong Detsen." , are all famous people in the Tubo Dynasty, and Trisong Detsen is known as the first person in Zanpu history, and he has a great status in the hearts of the people at that time."
