CHAPTER 3 Chariot Pit
Only half of the chariot and horse pit on the right have been unearthed, and three kinds of bird skeletons have been unearthed, with different sizes. The smallest one has a body length of more than three meters and five meters; the largest one has a body length of more than ten meters!
A circle of archaeological team members were talking about it on the edge of the chariot and horse pit.
"Lao Wang, what kind of bird do you think this is?"
"I don't know, birds of such a large size have long since disappeared!"
"Mr. Lu, you are late! You have made great achievements in ancient biology. Hurry up and see what kind of bird this is."
Lu Tianming squatted down, looked carefully for a while, and said, "I think this is the legendary phoenix."
A young man smiled and asked, "Teacher Lu, are there three kinds of birds here! Which one do you think is a phoenix?"
Lu Tianming replied: "These are all phoenixes. Legend has it that there are five kinds of phoenixes. Green phoenixes are called turtles, red phoenixes are called quails, yellow phoenixes are called sul, white phoenixes are called sul, purple phoenixes are called turtles. That is, the five phoenixes, also known as the five birds, namely the blue bird, the yellow bird, the white bird and the black bird."
An old man with a white beard tried to open his eyes wide, looked at the bottom of the carriage pit, and said, "According to what you said, there are two kinds of birds, which have not been unearthed yet?"
Lu Tianming looked at him and smiled and said, "Old Qian, I'm just guessing. There are too few records about phoenixes, which only exist in legends. Who knows what phoenixes look like? If you really find the other two kinds of birds, it might be the legendary Five Phoenix Carriage."
The old man named Qian said: "Have you noticed that the bird bones here are well preserved, with crystal clear bones and organic matter, which are much stronger than the tiger, leopard, bears there!"
Lu Tianming praised: "That's right! It's preserved so well, just like fresh bones! I even doubt whether the DNA can be removed."
Lu Cheng looked at the side and thought to himself: "According to the teachings of cultivation novels, the phoenix is a divine bird, and its realm is higher than that of tiger, leopard, bear and other animals. Perhaps because of this, the bones are preserved perfectly..."
He saw his father squatting there and not leaving, so he quietly left the carriage and horse pit alone to see the huge stone mound. There were more people around the stone mound, and at least twenty old men stood or sat, feeling intoxicated, and there was not even a single person to speak.
The top of the stone tomb was exposed, and the side walls were only half exposed.
On the top of the white and smooth stone surface, there are thousands of black dots that catch, like a huge star map.
The side walls are rock paintings, densely packed, crisscrossing, and it is hard to see clearly at a glance.
Lu Cheng stared at the black dot on the top for a while, and only felt his eyes dry and dizzy, and his spirits were snatched by it and were shaking.
He shook his head suddenly and looked back at the old masters. Some of their faces turned pale, some turned blue, some turned black, and they were all depressed and unsightly.
Some old masters couldn't sit still, their bodies tilted and fell to the ground.
At this time, several young men walked up, grabbed the old master's arm that fell down, and helped them to the distance.
The old master didn't struggle, as if he had become dementia.
Lu Cheng didn't dare to look at the thousands of stars again, but turned his head down to look at the rock paintings on the stone wall.
There are villains on the rock painting, posing in various poses, looking like comic strips!
His heart trembled and he thought to himself: "Is this a secret to cultivation?"
There are also words below the comic strips, with complex strokes, neither simplified or traditional characters, nor even Zhongding or oracle bone script. Lu Cheng looked at them twice, and his eyes felt dry!
He closed his eyes and waited for a long time before opening his eyes.
At this time, Lu Cheng heard the old master in the distance sighing: "Oh, I finally recovered! Did I faint just now?"
"Yes, Mr. Guo, you fainted twice today and can't see it again!"
"Oh, I didn't dare to look at the star map just now, and I can't hold on to the rock paintings alone!"
"Mr. Guo, can you identify those words?"
"No, it's old and cannot be identified for a while. Are there any photos taken? I can't look at the rock paintings, maybe it's better to look at the photos."
"It is being filmed. In two days, the surrounding soil will be dug up, and a complete video will be submitted to you, and every expert will get one."
"Okay, I'll go back and rest first. Unexpectedly, looking at the rock paintings quietly for a while will become a deadly chore."
At this time, Lu Cheng vaguely felt that the stone tomb in front of him might have something to do with the legendary cultivator, or it might be the tomb of an immortal, and the rock paintings and star maps are treasures left by the immortal!
He thought to himself: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Practicing according to the postures of these villains, it is possible to develop the magical power of flying and hiding the earth. Unfortunately, these words cannot be identified, so they cannot practice according to them! What a pity!"
He looked at it for a while, and felt dizzy again, so he didn't dare to look at it anymore and temporarily left the Ishizuo.
In front of the stone tomb are eight burial tombs. The tomb on the left has been dug up, and there is only one skeleton inside, but it is this skeleton that shows its uniqueness.
First of all, this skeleton is three meters tall, much taller than ordinary people!
Secondly, the skeletons of giants are like phoenixes, and are also preserved perfectly, with a kind of crystal-like beauty.
Lu Cheng knew that if it were an ordinary person, his bones would have been buried for thousands of years and would have been decayed. With a slight touch, he could turn into dust. As crystal clear as jade in front of him, it was a miracle on earth!
He looked carefully and found that thin patterns appeared on the bones like white jade, just like talismans drawn by Taoism.
He felt that there was a secret hidden in it, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand it!
Not to mention that he, a young man, cannot understand it, perhaps no one in the world can understand it.
Not far from this burial tomb is the magical altar.
The altar is carved from a whole piece of white jade, with a diameter of more than one zhang, which is extremely magical!
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Even in the current world, it is difficult to find such a big white jade! I don't know where the ancients mined it and polished it so smoothly. How difficult is it?"
If you look closely, the white jade altar is also engraved with strange patterns, as if it is some kind of ancient characters, or it is like natural thunder and cloud patterns. If you look at it for two more times, you will be dizzy.
There is also a circle of small gaps around the white jade.
Lu Cheng counted the numbers and found that there were exactly sixty-four gaps, which were intimately combined with the eighty-eight and sixty-four hexagrams.
The gap has white soil, which is very different from the surrounding loess.
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Can this altar be a teleportation array? Those white powders are traces left by the exhaustion of energy of the spirit stone?"
Although this tomb shows all kinds of magical features, no one dared to say "strange powers and gods" so many archaeological team members present, and Lu Cheng, as a young man, dared not say anything, but his suspicion became heavier and heavier.
