The cut surface of the whole stone slab is flat and lies on the ground completely.

Looking at the surface, it doesn't look like it was cut out by broken stone hands, but it looks like it was placed on the ground specially.

Seeing the stone slab, Lin Xu was even more sure of his guess, and then asked someone to remove the slate, and a dark cave appeared in front of everyone.

The hole is not big, and a normal-sized person can pass through it.

"It's here!"

Lin Xu said as he took a lighting device and shone it into the entrance of the cave.

The light passed through the darkness, and soon reached the end, and the depth was about two or three meters according to visual inspection.

The entrance of the cave goes straight up and down, and there is no place to borrow strength around.

"Teacher Yang, I will leave the method of going down to you."

You don't have to figure it out yourself, do you?
Lin Xu threw the question to Yang Shengyuan, who nodded directly.

After a few orders, some team members brought rope ladders.

After fixing the rope ladder to the ground with rivets, put the rope ladder down.

The following situation is unknown, so we have to find someone to take the lead.

Yang Shengyuan directly ordered a strong man to climb down.

The strong man wore a lighting tool on his head, and as he dived, it illuminated the entire space, and everyone discovered that there was a separate stone room below.

After confirming that there was no problem, Lin Xu and others climbed down one after another.

When the others were climbing down, Lin Xu looked around and found some decayed wooden cups in the corner of the stone room.

Lin Xu's first thought was that someone had stayed here before, and judging by the number of cups, there should be quite a few people.

But when Yang Shengyuan saw the cup, his face was full of joy, and he squatted on the ground to study it with tweezers and brushes.

He probably wanted to take the cup out too, but unfortunately the wood was so rotten that it would drop scum when touched lightly.

Yang Shengyuan looked regretful, but still did not give up, and arranged for two team members to be responsible for the cups on the ground.

Lin Xu looked at it for a while, then looked around again, and soon he noticed the arch on the other side.

The arch was sealed by a stone door, and the gap between the fittings was sealed with an unknown material.

The space in the stone cave is limited, and the only way out is the arch, except for the entrance down.

The stone gate has to be closed additionally, after the stone gate, it must be unusual.

Lin Xu determined that the arch is the passage to the next level.

He informed Yang Shengyuan of his thoughts, and the latter sent someone to clean up the sealing material on the stone gate.

The materials that are thousands of years old have long lost their moisture and air-dried, and they are quickly cleaned up under the shovel.

The stone gate is completely exposed, without any mechanism except for the cleaned sealing material.

Lin Xu recruited a few team members, and together they pushed the stone door open.

The light first illuminates the corridor behind the arch, and in the next second, a ray of light gradually spreads from near to far, illuminating the entire corridor.

Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, and after getting used to it, they looked towards the source of the light.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor, rows of oil lamps had steady flames, but there was a faint fishy smell in the air.

"Eternal light?" The first thing Lin Xu thought of was the props that appeared in the novel of tomb robbers.

"To be more precise, it should be a shark oil lamp. There are sharks in the North Sea, who weep and turn into pearls. Everyone knows that sharks can turn their tears into pearls, but few people know that sharks can also refine Jiao oil." .”

Yang Shengyuan had already thrown off Lin Xu and walked at the front of the team.

He stared at the shark oil lamp on the wall with a look of joy.

"What's the difference between a shark oil lamp and an ever-burning lamp?"

You don't need to listen to Yang Shengyuan's words, just by looking at his expression, you can tell that this shark oil lamp has a lot of history.

"Eternal light, although it is called an eternal light, but in fact it can't last forever."

"The lamp oil used is better, and it may last until all the oxygen in the tomb is exhausted before it is extinguished, but after it is extinguished, it cannot be re-ignited."

"When we were doing archaeology, we often saw this kind of nominal ever-burning lamp in the tomb."

"However, the shark oil lamp can truly achieve eternal brightness. When the oxygen is exhausted, the shark oil lamp goes out, but when the tomb starts and the air floods in again, the shark oil lamp will rekindle, just like before!"

"Over the years, I've only seen shark oil lamps in the underground palaces of a few emperors, but I didn't expect that there were also in Songtsan Gampo's mausoleum."

Lin Xu nodded, that's really amazing!

This Songtsan Gampo is really capable, a commander in the inland can even get sharks that are only found in the sea to make shark oil lamps.

When he was studying history, Lin Xu only thought that Songtsan Gampo was a relatively intelligent leader of Tubo, but through all the things in the mausoleum, it can be seen that he was much more powerful than himself.

Many people were immersed in Songtsan Gampo's generous writing, but Lin Xu looked at the wall of the tunnel.

Or the color of the previous space was really too monotonous. When some colorful paintings came into view, it was very eye-catching.

Lin Xu reminded Yang Shengyuan and walked to the mural first.

A recent mural depicts a scene of a battlefield, where two armies are facing each other. Judging from the costumes, it should be the confrontation between the Tubo army and the Tang army.

"Before the Tubo Dynasty made peace with Tang, there were many confrontations. This should be a description of the battlefield at that time."

Yang Shengyuan also came over and used his professional knowledge to help Lin Xu explain.

In the second mural, the Tubo army was obviously defeated by the Tang army, showing signs of retreat.

The third mural still depicts the battlefield, except that the Tubo army remains the same, but the opponent is no longer the Tang army. Judging from the costumes, it should be a small country. It can be seen that Lin Xu does not know enough about history to tell which country the opponent is.

At this time, Yang Shengyuan came in handy.

After careful observation, Yang Shengyuan said: "This should depict the confrontation between Tubo and Tuyuhun."

"Tuyuhun?" Lin Xu looked suspicious, it was the first time he had heard of this country.

Yang Shengyuan nodded, "Tuyuhun was an inconspicuous small country in the Tang Dynasty, but there are some complicated connections between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty."

"At the beginning, because of Tuyuhun, Tubo had many disputes with the Tang Dynasty. Seriously speaking, it was this small country that catalyzed the marriage between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty."

Lin Xu never dreamed that one day he would be really interested in history.

In Lin Xu's saturated desire for knowledge, Yang Shengyuan also had the desire to teach, and immediately began to explain to Lin Xu.

"Actually, there are many different stories about this period of history, but there are two most famous ones."

"The first one is that Tang Taizong was moved by Songtsan Gampo's sincerity and betrothed Princess Wencheng to him. The second one is that Tang Taizong took so much trouble and had no choice but to get married in order to seek peace. Over the years, many scholars have been Arguing about it."
