Chapter 519: Blue Wolf and White Deer totem appears! Strange smell in the tomb chamber!
Cha Le Gai's warning about the highland made everyone unable to help but sit up straight.
Everyone didn't know why they needed to be so nervous just because of a highland?
Must leave before twelve midnight?
Could it be that something haunts the highland at night?
This kind of thing shouldn't be thought about; once you start thinking, you feel even more terrified.
But the reason a story becomes a story is inevitably because there are many unexpected situations.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many legendary stories passed down.
The more Cha Le Gai said that this highland couldn't be camped on at night, the more likely it was that accidents would occur at night to hinder them!
"Hearing the urging, everyone immediately intensified their work, ate a hot meal in a hurry, and began to spread out tools to excavate."
"The location of the excavation also seemed very strange to Ban Jie Li; Cha Le Gai seemed to have pointed to a place at random and started digging."
"He didn't ask for the opinions of this group of professional tomb raiders at all!"
"Not to mention that the Luoyang shovels the fellow disciples were good at using weren't even used; they just started using shovels to dig pits with all their might!"
"Ban Jie Li was beside the Second Senior Brother, digging a pit, when he heard the Second Senior Brother tell him that he had already told the other fellow disciples the secret, telling Ban Jie Li not to worry."
"Hearing this, the stone in Ban Jie Li's heart fell, and he finally began to focus on digging the soil, not noticing at all that the look the Second Senior Brother gave him from behind was very wrong!"
"A group of young men, with good physical strength and fast movements, dug down a few meters when suddenly someone shouted that they had hit the tomb wall!"
"At this time, the sun had completely set, and the grassland was plunged into darkness, but everyone was extremely excited!"
"Cha Le Gai jumped directly into the pit and reached out to touch the tomb wall."
"He said with some excitement: The location is right; it really is here! There are special patterns on this tomb wall; this is the tribal totem of Temujin!"
"Hearing this, everyone curiously crowded over to check, and sure enough, they saw a pattern of a blue wolf and a white deer on a brick!"
"It's just that this pattern wasn't on every brick; of the parts dug out of the tomb wall, only a few scattered ones had patterns."
"But this was enough to confirm that they had found the right place; this highland not only had things buried in it, but it was also very likely to be Genghis Khan's tomb!"
Hearing the appearance of the blue wolf and white deer pattern, the audience was also very excited!
The blue wolf and white deer are the totem and beast-god belief of the Mongols, because of the power of Genghis Khan's tribe.
It subsequently became the belief of the entire Mongolia!
The appearance of this totem on the bricks proved that Cha Le Gai's intelligence was accurate!
Now it just depends on what's inside the tomb!
At this point, it was the most critical moment of the story, and every member of the audience was focused, afraid of missing anything!
Zhang Lin looked at the nervous expressions of the people below the stage and chuckled in his heart.
He sighed that this was nothing; when they saw Genghis Khan's tomb, they would know what true shock was!
"After digging to the tomb roof, everyone stopped and didn't dare to move."
"Ban Jie Li's words naturally had an effect; the fellow disciples all knew that Ghost Valley was used to manufacture weapons."
"And weapons were used for the hidden weapon guards of the imperial tomb!"
"Without knowing anything, if they rashly dug open the tomb roof, it would be very easy to encounter hidden weapons."
"Seeing that everyone wasn't moving, Cha Le Gai glanced at Ban Jie Li, seemingly understanding something."
"He casually pretended that nothing was wrong and said: Listen to me, dig directly. This tomb roof isn't the key, and even the tomb chamber below the roof isn't important! There are no defensive measures here!"
"Hearing Cha Le Gai speak so decisively, and driven by profit, everyone looked at each other and then started using shovels to smash the bricks!"
"This group of people naturally wouldn't care how much archaeological value such bricks engraved with totems had."
"What they cared about was the treasure of the imperial tomb, not the brick wall of the tomb roof."
Hearing this, Professor Liu couldn't help but wring his hands and sigh!
Hearing with his own ears that such precious Yuan dynasty bricks were being destroyed, the heartache unique to archaeologists was indescribable.
This is also the reason why, although the authorities encourage folk archaeology, they still increase efforts to crack down on illegal tomb raiders!
Unrestrained tomb raiding, just like Cha Le Gai in the story, uses any means to achieve its goal and only knows how to destroy.
"The tomb roof was smashed open directly, revealing a pitch-black hole!"
"A cold, slightly decaying aura drifted out, making everyone at the hole unable to help but sneeze a few times!"
"Ban Jie Li, who was facing the hole, happened to take a deep breath, and then felt that this smell was a bit strange."
"It seemed too damp, just like the smell of dust stirred up by rainwater after a rain; it actually smelled a bit fresh!"
"But in reality, this situation shouldn't happen at all."
"The tomb chamber had been sealed for thousands of years, and the internal air basically couldn't flow, so it should be very turbid."
"This kind of fresh, dusty aura like after a rain shouldn't appear."
"Even if the tomb chamber was soaked by rising groundwater, it wouldn't be this smell."
"The smell of stagnant water would be more foul and more distinct; once the tomb wall was opened, everyone would be able to smell it."
"Therefore, based on the smell alone, Ban Jie Li concluded that this tomb chamber was strange."
"Everyone, at this point, you can also see Ban Jie Li's talent for tomb raiding."
"He had never been down to a tomb once, and what he learned was half-baked knowledge, and Master Guo hadn't passed on any practical experience to him."
"But when he really encountered the corresponding situation, Ban Jie Li could quickly draw inferences from what he had learned and see where the problem lay."
"This is a kind of ability, and it's also the 'Grandmaster rewarding food'; it shows that Ban Jie Li worshipped the wrong master, but he didn't enter the wrong profession."
Hearing this, Old Lady Huo couldn't help but nod.
Insiders know the ropes, especially when looking at such rookies who are going down to a tomb for the first time.
People who go down to a tomb for the first time often make many common sense mistakes because of nervousness.
Some people are even dazed and dizzy!
Being able to apply what one has learned in the first time is very rare!
Chen Pi A-Si counts as one; this is already a one-in-ten-thousand tomb-raiding talent.
Looking at it now, Ban Jie Li is actually this kind of person too!
It's just that his fate is bad; he didn't meet an enlightening master like Er Yue Hong. ===== CHAPTER 520 =====
