Chapter 549 Large Terracotta Army
The dark cave seemed endless and deep, and the snow-white light of a professional flashlight could not pierce through the layers of darkness at all.
Of course, a cave is a cave, and there will be an end after all.
After climbing up a slope, a wide hall appeared in front of you. On one side of the hall, there was a stone gate more than three meters high. There were no carvings on the stone gate. On both sides of the stone gate, stood two stone statues. The terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor are the same, the only difference is that they are more majestic and powerful, but they are less than one meter shorter than the three-meter-high Shimen, which is more than two meters high. Looking up, the lifelike glaring expression makes people feel An inexplicable suffocation.
"Hahahaha, we found it." Standing in front of Shimen, Wang Zhu laughed triumphantly.
"Be careful, there may be a trap." Su Xue reminded.
"Well, let's not rush, let's take a look first."
Wang Zhu summoned all the flashlights collected from the tomb robbers from the space ring, opened them and placed them in some key positions in the cave hall. Immediately, the whole hall was brightly lit by the bright light, showing every detail.
"Damn, it's really a big deal!"
Wang Zhu looked at the cave in amazement.
If you look carefully, you will find that this cave is formed naturally, but most of the places have traces of artificial carving. Obviously, this is a place selected by Qin Shihuang based on local materials.
Beside the cave wall, Wang Zhu found another simple and mottled stone platform. Some ancient characters and patterns were carved on the stone platform, as well as some mysterious runes. On the stone platform, there was a stone-carved incense burner.
Next to the incense burner on the stone platform, there were several rolls of bamboo slips. When Wang Zhu saw the bamboo slips, he was inexplicably excited, thinking that they were the secrets of cultivation such as "Supreme Immortal Way". Unfortunately, he just touched them with his hands. After a moment, the seemingly intact bamboo was instantly reduced to ashes.
From the traces carved on the cave wall and some decayed objects, it is certain that there were many valuable cultural relics and antiques in this hall, but because the age is too long and the environment is not closed, except for some stone carvings and other things, are all decayed.
Any kind of substance has a decay period, the difference lies in the length, and among the known substances on the earth, the decay period of stone is the longest.
In a corner of the cave hall, the most complete antique Wang Zhu saw was a bronze tripod.
The bronze tripod is more than one meter high, looks majestic and very thick,
However, the mottled green rust on it reminded Wang Chu that its thickness is only its appearance, and it is very likely that it will be reduced to ashes like the bamboo slips on the altar with a light touch...
...
"There is nothing of value." Wang Zhu looked disappointed after checking around.
"..."
Su Xue had a speechless expression on her face.
"Su Xue, what do you think of these two stone statues?" Wang Zhu's eyes fell on the two two-meter-high stone statues, and he licked his tongue.
"I'm not an expert. If you get them out, it's probably not a problem to sell them for several million." Su Xue looked up and down the stone statue.
"Only a few million?" Wang Chu looked disappointed again.
"Yes, at most a few million. Of course, if it is in the hands of some international collectors, it may be sold for hundreds of millions."
"Ah...hundreds of millions! Why can't I sell a few hundred million?" Wang Zhu's eyes shot out golden light, and his expression was greedy.
"Most of the antiques in China can only be sold at a good price after they have been handled by foreigners."
"Ah..." Wang Zhu was stunned.
"Tens of thousands of antiques are stolen overseas in China every year, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more, and thousands or even hundreds of dollars less. However, as long as they go around overseas, their value will double. You Do you know the twelve zodiac signs in Yuanmingyuan?"
"I know, it seems that Jackie Chan is still making a movie." Wang Zhu nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, in terms of artistic value, the twelve zodiac signs are nothing in China's vast cultural relics and antiques, but because of the hype of many people, in the end, their worth can easily reach hundreds of millions, because, on them, poured patriotism of the Chinese people.”
"Listen to you, it's really like this." Wang Zhu sighed.
"The zodiac is just one of the representatives, and there are countless antiques returned from abroad every year."
"Why is this happening?"
"There are many complicated reasons for this. First of all, China's psychology of worshiping foreigners and fawning on foreigners believes that antiques that have been recognized by foreigners are more valuable and maintain their value, and it is easier to find a home when they want to sell them; With a legal identity, after all, it is illegal to buy and sell antiques privately in the country..."
"Grandma's!" Wang Chu felt depressed.
"I personally think that cultural relics are the treasures of all mankind in the world. If foreigners can preserve them better, it doesn't matter if they sell them. At least, we can often see them in the future. Leaving aside patriotism, like the French Louvre and The British National Museum has a lot of Chinese cultural relics in it, some valuables, and they are also very well preserved, and we in China have to come back after a lot of hardships, either they are collected by some dignitaries, or they are put on display Tickets..." Su Xue sighed deeply.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you let them collect it, but you can't snatch it! I believe that China's cultural relics market will gradually improve..."
"The situation will get better when the ebony dug out of the ground does not belong to the country. In your current situation, even the stone statues you find belong to the country, so don't even think about relying on these two stone statues. You have made a lot of money, these two guys are really too big, even if I help you, under the layers of exploitation, there is not much money in your hands."
"Should they be buried here?"
"Isn't Qin Shihuang's tomb still buried?"
"...well, let them stay here."
"I'm afraid it's not because you want to stay." Su Xue's eyes on the stone statue suddenly became serious, she grabbed Wang Zhu's arm and backed away repeatedly.
"What's the matter... ah..."
Wang Zhu followed Su Xue's gaze and was stunned, because the two stone statues were actually stretching their limbs.
Think about it, in this dark underground cave, what a terrifying scene it is for two stone statues more than two meters tall to suddenly stretch their muscles and bones like humans!
Su Xue and Wang Zhu clasped their fingers together and backed away again and again.
However, what surprised Wang Zhu and Su Xue was that the two stone statues only moved a few times, and then stopped still...
...
Wang Zhu and Su Xue looked at each other.
The scene just now was so weird that the two of them couldn't react for a moment.
"Could it be an organ?" Wang Zhu asked.
"Maybe it's the patron saint of these two doors." Su Xue smiled wryly.
"Guardian gods... But, they are stones, so why bother?" Wang Zhu asked suspiciously.
"God knows." Su Xue shrugged.
"Grandma, I don't believe that two stone men can do anything to us!" Wang Zhu stared fiercely at the two stone statues that had changed their posture.
"Be careful."
Seeing Wang Zhu striding towards the stone statue, Su Xue quickly reminded him.
"fine."
Wang Zhu walked to the side of the stone statue, but what he didn't understand was that he was standing under the two stone statues, but they didn't respond at all. Even when Wang Zhu touched the stone statue with his hand, the stone statue still remained motionless. The slightest sign of life.
"Were we dazzled just now?" Wang Zhu looked back at Su Xue.
"Definitely not, their postures have changed." Su Xue shook her head very positively.
"Forget it, forget about them, open this door first..."
"Be careful!"
"call!"
As soon as Wang Zhu's arm touched the stone door, Su Xue let out an exclamation, and then, a harsh sound of piercing the air resounded from the back of Wang Zhu's head.
Wang Zhu didn't even think about it, and when he got short, he turned around and punched him.
"Peng!"
There was a loud noise, and Wang Chu felt a sharp pain in his arm. When he looked up, he realized that it was the stone statue that was not moving at all just now.
What made Wang Zhu vomit blood the most was that after the stone statue had punched him, it returned to its original static movement.
This stone statue is weird!
Wang Zhu naturally knew his own strength, not to mention a stone statue, even if it was made of metal, it could not withstand his brutal strength, but the stone statue was unscathed, but Wang Zhu felt pain in his arm.
Wang Zhu began to test the reaction of the stone statue, and kept approaching the stone gate. Soon, he was sure that as long as he got close to the stone gate and touched the stone gate with his arm, the stone statue would launch a thunderous attack.
The stone statue's attack was simple and powerful. The two stone statues completely covered the range of the Shimen. In other words, as long as Wang Zhu wanted to enter the Shimen, he had to pass the Shimen first.
Wang Zhu couldn't figure out why the stone statue would only attack when he touched the stone gate. This seemed a bit unnatural. If it was a tomb robber who was attacked by the stone statue, he could destroy the stone statue first.
"What will happen if I don't open the stone gate and destroy the stone statue first?" Wang Zhu was puzzled.
"This setting is a bit weird." Even Su Xue, who was smart in ice and snow, couldn't figure it out.
"If you attack the stone statue, its reaction may be different."
Wang Zhu had a flash of inspiration, and immediately punched the stone statue's waist.
really!
Just as Wang Zhu's fist approached, the originally motionless stone statue suddenly moved. The huge and clumsy body became extremely agile and nimble. With a twist, the thick arm covered with armor swept towards Wang Zhu. , Like lightning, the strong wind hits the face, unstoppable.
"Well done!"
With a flash, Wang Zhu jumped up and kicked the stone statue in the air.
"call!"
Suddenly, there was a thrilling sound of breaking through the air, and Wang Zhu, who was about to jump up in the air to kick the stone statue, saw from the corner of his eyes that the stone statue standing on the other side suddenly took a step forward without warning, and the thick arm was fierce. He picked it up and smashed it down.
"Fuck!"
Wang Zhu broke out in a cold sweat. If this arm fell down, this leg would probably be broken in two immediately. It's a long story, but in fact, it was all in a split second, Wang Zhu didn't have time to think at all, his figure abruptly twisted and changed direction in the air, and the kicked leg almost brushed against the thick arm of the stone statue , extremely thrilling.
After avoiding the attack of the two stone statues, Wang Zhu retreated sharply.
What made Wang Zhu speechless was that after he retreated, the two stone statues stopped attacking immediately, and stood on both sides of the stone gate, one on the left and one on the right, without the slightest breath of life, looking extremely strange...
