“The difficulty of building a mausoleum often indirectly proves the overall strength of the owner of the mausoleum.
In such an extravagant mausoleum, the beings buried in it may far exceed our expectations. "
Looking at this established result, Professor Huang, who was constantly praising him, couldn't help but sigh.
“Since Professor Huang thinks so, we may have to be more careful in our next actions.
If the previous mausoleum pattern was in a dormant state, then there is a high probability that the anti-grave robbing system of the mausoleum has been fully activated. "
He was also convinced of this, and Bai Ning directly warned him of the difficulties he might face next.
With the most cautious attitude, everyone slowly advanced towards the central stone forest area. Almost every step they took would mark a unique mark on the stone pillars they passed.
The drones in the sky were still flying above everyone's heads, which indeed gave everyone a small amount of comfort.
At least, they won't get lost in the stone forest.
The desert in the early morning still carried the chill from last night, and the surrounding stone pillars were ice-cold, glowing coldly even under the direct sunlight.
I don't know if it is because of the temperature difference between day and night, but in this stone forest, a horizontal airflow began to slowly generate.
This is an extremely dangerous signal.
If the dust starts again, the drone will lose its basic role. With only a satellite positioning that is not very accurate, the risk of this stone forest will be even greater.
Under the urging of the wind and sand, the team's progress is gradually accelerating. The distance of more than a hundred meters does not seem to hinder everyone for long.
"The surrounding stone pillars are already moving."
Suddenly seeing a stone pillar spray-painted with an icon appearing in front of him, Bai Ning immediately shouted a reminder.
"Why didn't the person in charge of the drone report the relevant matters in time?"
Not receiving any early warning from the aerial vision, Jiang Yingxue suddenly felt a surge of unknown anger in her heart.
If the drone cannot play any early warning role with a clear aerial view, once the dust starts to rise, there is actually no need for the drone to exist.
"Report to the boss, the footage from the drone shows that no stone pillars have shifted."
What surprised Jiang Yingxue was that the drone operator gave such a response. Isn't it really a human error?
“Call up the video playback and check it out.
If it doesn't match what's said, you can leave now. "
The opportunity for self-certification must still be given, but the expression on Jiang Yingxue's face did not show any relief, which made the atmosphere in the venue increasingly depressing.
The person in charge of the electronic equipment immediately used his mobile phone to connect to the host, and the previous video could not be played smoothly.
"From the drone's perspective, there is indeed no movement trend of the stone pillars."
The personnel responsible for verification quickly fed back the results, which greatly relieved the self-certification personnel.
"very good.
Rewards are implemented in accordance with established regulations. "
After handling the internal matters, Jiang Yingxue glanced at Bai Ning, who was silent again, and was a little confused about how to ask.
As far as the precedent of replicating people is concerned, the stone pillars with icons that appeared out of thin air here are probably also the product of replication.
Or, the sensing mechanism here can detect the footage taken by the drone, thereby mobilizing the movement of the stone pillars outside the drone's viewing range.
“The core purpose of the movement of stone pillars is to prevent trapped people from using road signs to save themselves.
However, it seems to me that the traces of the presence of marks here may have exceeded our expectations.
Icons can be copied and erased.
In other words, there are actually many different logos in places that we cannot see, and such logos are self-contained and very confusing.
As long as we still believe in the icons and follow their instructions, we will be completely misled by the icons, causing us to keep going in circles in this small place.
This is different from the original spiral maze principle, but the purpose achieved is the same. "
After a while, Bai Ning gave his judgment about this place, and also made it clear that the icon generation mechanism here may be more complicated than everyone expected.
If there were no drones or satellite positioning, and they were in this stone forest, they would be misled by their own established knowledge and trapped in this small stone forest forever.
The wind and sand here did not leave them too much time, and the drones in the sky were already looming. If they continued to make some meaningless stops, they would completely lose their aerial vision.
The team accelerated again and soon arrived at the center of the stone forest. The drone was recovered and everyone was completely trapped in the sandy stone forest.
The ground in the central area is covered with sand and dust. It is not known whether it is due to the sweeping wind and sand, or whether it is due to the operation of the anti-grave robbing agency that has made the place full of sand and dust again.
The sand pump started working at full capacity, and the floating sand on the surface was quickly cleaned up. Under the sand and dust, there was still the familiar stone ground.
Continuing to clean up the sand and dust, more and more stone slabs were exposed, but there were no more bluebird reliefs on them, replaced by some ferocious ghost reliefs.
"What's this?"
The evil ghost relief is full of charm, which reminds Bai Ning of the scene when he first saw the Panlong Pillar. At this time, Professor Huang also lay down on the stone strips to observe carefully, even using a magnifying glass.
After a long time, Professor Huang got up from the ground and patted the dirt on his body with a serious look on his face.
"Why!
Judging from the two relief techniques, they are completely produced by different carving masters, and their mentality and styles are completely different.
If you only look at their differences, you can even conclude that the two stone bars before and after come from different ancient tombs. "
I originally thought that Professor Huang would make some high-level remarks, but in the end he just commented on the two relief styles.
"The scale of this ancient tomb is huge, and it must require a lot of craftsmen. Isn't it normal to have different styles of reliefs?"
Liu Cheng, who had been keeping his microphone closed for who knows how long, finally heard a topic that he could express his opinion on, and quickly joined in to say a few words.
“Death is like life, funeral culture has a long history, and its main purpose is to allow the deceased to enjoy better happiness in the underworld.
Therefore, there are only two types of Ming utensils, one is a fun object buried with the person, and the other is a tomb beast.
Different tomb beasts represent different ideas and methods of revenge.
According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West is in charge of both immortality and death. She not only has elixirs that can make people immortal, but also can bring disasters and plagues.
If the blue bird represents feeding the Queen Mother of the West and is deified because of coexistence, and to some extent it can also represent the reward of immortality, then the evil ghost statue with tiger teeth and leopard tail represents disaster and plague.
Now, the Eternal Life Star is hidden and disaster appears. If the ancient tombs continue to be excavated, big disasters may occur.
Based on the characteristics of the plague, we can guess that it is most likely a biochemical disaster. "
Professor Huang's subsequent interpretation of the evil ghost relief is filled with a pessimistic atmosphere, which may be the reason why he has been brewing for a long time.
In his interpretation, if the dangers that Sima Tian and others experienced before were just a narrow path to immortality, then what they are going to experience now is the Shura Hell of ten deaths and no life.
The difference between the two concepts represents a huge difference in the mausoleum mechanism.
"I've only heard that ancient viruses were found in thousands of years of ice. How can any virus be preserved in a dry, high-temperature environment with a lack of water for thousands of years?"
Not understanding the logic at all, Liu Cheng questioned Professor Huang's judgment based on some of his superficial biological experiences.
This question is very reasonable. Large-scale infectious diseases spread through droplets are generally rare in desert areas. The reason is that the dry and high-temperature environment with lack of water can quickly inactivate viruses and germs.
"Remember the previous interpretation of bluebird feeding?
If this mausoleum really has a regular feeding schedule, then the role of these blood foods is to cultivate and perpetuate this ancient virus. "
Professor Huang seems to be very certain about his guess, and has already organically integrated the blue bird relief and the evil ghost relief.
“It is indeed a possibility.
The so-called curse, in my opinion, is probably a mode of application of biological and chemical warfare.
For example, there is a kind of Ebola virus in Africa. The death scene is extremely miserable. First, the internal organs are dissolved and hemorrhage, and then they start to bleed from all the orifices, and even vomit out the necrotic internal organs.
Another example is the Black Death, where lymph nodes all over the body become necrotic and turn black, leading to constant high fever and ultimately painful death.
Another example is rabies, which has a 100% fatality rate and will cause manic attacks before death, almost like a madman.
What is the difference between these characteristics of diseases that make people die badly and the legendary curse?
In other words, if someone mastered the technology of biochemical poisoning and cursed in front of others, and eventually the person died tragically due to similar symptoms, this kind of psychological threat would be very lethal to ancient times when feudal superstition was prevalent. big.
Similarly, if the tomb owner masters such biochemical technology and the tomb robbers die miserably due to a similar curse, the deterrence cannot be underestimated.
Tomb-suppressing beasts and the mausoleum curse that says "whoever opens it will die", these things are, to put it bluntly, just psychological deterrents.
The death of tomb robbers must be attributed to biochemical means such as bacteria and viruses, or physical means such as drugging and poisoning. "
Bai Ning gave his own insights on the connection between curses and viruses.
Based on this interpretation, it seems very natural to understand the divine authority given to the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West clan, which has mastered the technology of the fourth civilization, wants to spread disasters and plagues easily. It is also easy to use such magical means to rule its slave group.
It's just some cognitive induction and deterrence.
"Send someone to get some biochemical protective clothing."
Jiang Yingxue has always been well prepared and has not failed to consider various possibilities, but it is a bit impossible to get a biochemical protective suit. The most he can do is wear gloves and a gas mask.
As the wind and sand filled the air, the follow-up actions progressed slowly. The people who could not completely idle could only continue to clean up the sand and dust on the stone bars.
