Archaeological experts are going crazy for the tomb-grabbing talisman sold on live broadcast

In front of the magnificent Dragon Tower Palace, the figures of more than a dozen archaeological team members seemed particularly small.

Especially at the top of the Dragon Tower Palace, there was a lifelike stone statue of a candle dragon, with bared teeth and claws, ferocious expression, majestic momentum, and mysterious and treacherous eyes. Looking down, it seemed that it might come to life at any time, bringing an invisible sense of oppression to everyone's heart.

As we got closer, we began to gradually feel the temperature of the flame burning in the huge furnace on the Dragon Tower Palace.

The archaeological team had just climbed out of the freezing cold river, and they were shivering with cold. The temperature of the flames baked on their bodies, and they felt like "ice and fire".

In addition, there was an indescribable stench in the heat wave of the air.

If there is stench, there are rotting corpses!

So smelling stench in an ancient tomb is an ominous sign.

It also means that the air here is not circulating, but fortunately the place is large enough and there is enough oxygen.

"Mr. Chen, could it be that the fire here has really been burning for thousands of years? Is there really such fuel in the world?"

Yan Wanlei has been staring at the huge furnaces burning with flames on the Dragon Tower Palace, puzzled.

If there is such technology to burn for thousands of years and bring it to today's society, it will be a complete "new energy"!

Wang Haichuan seemed to be thinking about this in his mind and said, "I read in a book that the ancients used mermaid oil as a long-burning lamp in the ancient tomb..."

Chen Yibai laughed and joked, "Professor Wang, if I guess correctly, you should be watching "Ghost Blowing Lights", right? There is indeed a saying that mermaid oil is used to make long-burning lamps. But the fire is so strong and it has to continue to burn for thousands of years. I am afraid that even if the mermaids are exterminated a thousand times, it will not be enough..."

Mermaid oil has a low ignition point and strong fire resistance, but it is definitely not so outrageous.

"Mr. Chen, do you know what the principle is?"

Yan Wanlei looked at Chen Yibai with a strong desire for knowledge and asked.

Chen Yibai shook his head: "I can't be sure, I can only guess that this fire should not be burned by fuel, it may be 'underground fire'..."

"I know, there is a coal layer under this mountain. Because it meets certain combustion conditions, it has spontaneous combustion. There are similar situations in the southern part of our country!"

When Wang Haichuan heard the word 'underground fire', he immediately took over and explained in detail.

After all, as an archaeological expert and the commander-in-chief of the archaeological team, he still has to show his presence occasionally.

Chen Yibai nodded. Although he was not 100% sure, this explanation was the most reasonable at present.

On the Dragon Tower Palace, there should be an 'underground fire mouth' under each furnace tripod. It may be formed naturally, or it may be excavated in a special way.

As long as the coal layer below is deep enough, let alone three or four thousand years, even if it burns for tens of thousands of years, it is not a rare thing.

Chen Yibai guessed that the reason why the tomb of King Kang was located here must have an absolute relationship with the special geographical environment here.

Because the Feng Shui of tomb building has been considered since the Jin Dynasty.

Before the Jin Dynasty, the most important thing about tomb building and site selection was geography.

This is a very critical information point.

As you go further, the temperature in the air becomes higher.

Looking far ahead, the air even distorted under the high temperature.

Just now, everyone was shivering with cold, but now they began to sweat profusely, and it felt that the temperature in the air was at least close to 40 degrees.

Such a high temperature must not be simply due to the flames burning on the Dragon Tower Palace, but from the surface.

Because Chen Yibai was wearing sneakers, he felt that his feet were hot, as if he was stepping on a heated kang.

Right in front of the Dragon Tower Palace, there was a square square built with excavated boulders.

To be more precise, this should be a sacrificial platform. The steps, which are more than ten meters wide, are divided into two parts, each with 99 steps, extending upward layer by layer, and are estimated to be nearly two meters high.

This sacrificial platform has appeared twice, once on the bronze door and once on the mural of the "Central Palace".

In all likelihood, the inhumane human sacrifices on the bronze door and the mural of the "Central Palace" should have taken place here at the time.

"Everyone follow carefully, and be alert to your surroundings at all times!"

Chen Yibai walked at the front of the team, reminding loudly while leading the team up the steps.

Although it was dead and silent for the time being, listening to Chen Yibai's reminder still made everyone nervous and half-hold their breath, and step carefully.

Especially the special service team, holding the Type 95, keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions, and keeping ready to fight at any time throughout the whole process.

When everyone went up to the altar, they were once again deeply shocked by the scene they saw.

The scene on the altar seemed familiar, even a little familiar, as if they had been there before.

Because the scene on the altar was exactly the same as what they had seen on the bronze door and the murals of the ‘Central Palace’ before.

At the four corners of the altar stood the Panlong Observation Pillars, on which lay the Kirin, and in the middle were placed the ‘Nine Dings and Eight Gui’ in a special formation. The three-legged ding, which was more than one meter high, was engraved with hundreds of beasts, and the bronze gui, which was shaped like a water tank, was engraved with demons and monsters.

The ding and gui were both important vessels used for worship at that time, and were used to place living human sacrifices. The difference between the two was that the gui was used for cooking, and the ding was used to hold directly disassembled limbs and internal organs.

To put it simply and crudely, this was equivalent to the ‘cold dish’ and ‘hot dish’ offered to the gods.

As for why it is the 'Nine Cauldrons and Eight Gui', there are many explanations, but you only need to simply understand that this is a complete set of sacrificial utensils in the most important sacrificial activities.

Therefore, the 'Nine Cauldrons and Eight Gui' that everyone saw were all disassembled limbs, heads, and organs!

Perhaps because of the temperature here, the limbs in the cauldron did not decay, but became pieces of black 'dried bacon' stuck together.

The bronze gui was even more terrifying. The limbs that had been steamed were soaked in a sticky black liquid, like black jelly, with a layer of white oil floating on it, and round heads floating on it.

However, there are far more things that make people terrified, their hairs stand up, their scalps numb, and their breathing is choked by fear.

In addition to the 'Nine Cauldrons and Eight Gui', the entire sacrificial platform was covered with a large black mass of specially 'treated' corpses.

Some were disemboweled from the neck to the navel, their internal organs were taken out, and they were hung up to become mummies.

Some were tied up directly into a curled-up position, kneeling on the ground facing the dragon tower and palace in front of them.

The huge sacrificial platform became a purgatory of execution, so densely packed that there was not even room to step, which was far from being described as simply "cruel".

It is no wonder that the air was filled with an indescribable stench that had not dissipated for thousands of years.

As long as the "sacrificial offerings" on the sacrificial platform were always there, the stench would never dissipate.

"Ugh!"

The experts nearby, including Wang Haichuan, could barely bear the stench in the air.

But looking at the horrific scene in front of them, their brains and spirits could not bear it first, and their stomachs churned and vomited wildly.

The sacrificial murals seen on the bronze door and the murals of the "Central Palace" just now were already creepy.

Now that he is in the situation again and still able to remain calm throughout the whole process, among all the people present, perhaps only Chen Yibai is.
