Chapter 269 Leaving the Team

In the passage into the tomb, there were many broken utensils scattered, and there were several mummies lying on the bluestone floor.

The man surnamed Hu said with some regret: "It seems that this tomb has been visited by tomb robbers. The hole we came down should be the hole dug by the tomb robbers."

Professor Chen carefully picked up the broken utensils on the ground and said with great regret: "Looking at the shape of these utensils, they are estimated to be at least a thousand years old. What a pity!"

Behind him, Dr. Hao cursed angrily: "Huh, it's all those damn tomb robbers' fault! They are the sinners of history!"

The men surnamed Hu and Wang looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

"This is just the outside of the tomb. Let's go inside and take a look. Maybe we can find something!" the man surnamed Hu suggested.

"Okay, Brother Hu is right, let's go in and have a look." Professor Chen agreed repeatedly. Facing the tombs, these old scholars who have been engaged in archaeological research all their lives have long been unable to contain their curiosity.

Chen Mo followed everyone and walked along. All the protective measures such as mechanisms had been destroyed, and everyone walked easily.

Many murals began to appear in the tombs, and Professor Chen carefully studied them with a searchlight.

"This should be the tomb of the prince of Gushe, one of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions. These murals record the prince's life."

Along the way, Professor Chen introduced everyone along the way.

"Look at this one, this is the prince returning triumphantly from the war. This one is the prince getting married..."

When he got to the last picture, Professor Chen was stunned and a little confused: "What does this picture mean?"

The lower half of the entire mural depicts a voluptuous woman sitting on a throne, with a group of people prostrate on the ground at her feet, including the prince himself.

The facial expressions of this woman are very subtle, especially the third eye on her forehead, which makes people feel extremely weird.

The upper part of the mural depicts a masked woman wearing white clothes with long hair shawl, with five-color auspicious clouds at her feet, and a three-foot long sword behind her hands.

The most surprising thing is that this woman's attire is clearly that of ancient Chinese women, and the pattern of this woman occupies half of the mural, and it is the most important upper half.

Obviously, this woman's identity is the most noble one on this mural.

Professor Chen frowned and thought: "The mural in the lower half should be about the envoys from various countries paying homage to a queen, and the queen has three eyes. But who is the woman in white with a sword in the upper half? Why can she occupy it alone?

Half of the entire mural?"

"The queen with three eyes? Is this queen a monster?" Xiaoyun, a female member of the team, exclaimed.

Professor Chen shook his head: "This queen is probably the exquisite queen we are looking for."

Behind him, Dr. Hao said in surprise: "It is said that Queen Jingjue has three eyes that can connect to the netherworld. Is the legend true?"

Everyone suddenly felt a sense of horror, with chills running down their backs. Could it be that the ancient city they had been looking for was a country of monsters?

In the end, it was Professor Chen who clarified everyone’s doubts: “That’s not necessarily true. When the ancients worshiped something to the extreme, they liked to deify it. Perhaps this exquisite queen had the ability to discern people, so she was overly deified by future generations.

.”

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's continue to look inside and hope that Prince Gushe's tomb has not been damaged," Professor Chen said.

The tomb that had been baptized by tomb robbers was almost completely destroyed. The sarcophagus of Prince Gushe had long been opened, and nothing of value was left behind.

Professor Chen and others regretfully exited the tomb, then replenished the water supply and continued to follow the map.

After walking for another two days, there is still no clue about the ruins of Jingjue Ancient City.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the man surnamed Hu raised his head and took a sip of water and asked: "Professor Chen, what does the map say? We have been walking for almost half a month, and logically we should have arrived at the ruins of Jingjue Kingdom."

Professor Chen took off his backpack and took out a map and a diary. It was said to be a map, but it was actually a hand-drawn scrawled pattern of two long black dragon-like mountains, with the setting sun in the middle.

Professor Chen recited slowly: "Two giant black dragons will swallow up the extinguished sun. That is the gate of the ghost kingdom."

"That's what is recorded in the diary, but what does it mean? This place is an endless sea of ​​sand. Where did the two black dragons come from?"

Everyone was a little discouraged. These clues were too slim. In other words, the Sea of ​​Death was too big. Human beings were so insignificant in front of it that they could be ignored. Even the ruins of the ancient city were just a small amount in front of the Sea of ​​Death.

An inconspicuous star in the endless night sky.

Just when everyone was dejected, the man surnamed Wang suddenly pointed at the sunset on the horizon and shouted excitedly: "Old Hu, look there quickly!"

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads and were stunned.

Just at the end of the setting sun, two black lines emerged in the afterglow of the setting sun, like two giant black dragons opening their mouths, trying to engulf the setting sun.

"Oh Hu Da, that is Zakrama Sacred Mountain!" Uncle An immediately knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly.

The man surnamed Hu suddenly said excitedly: "The extinguished sun is the setting sun, and the two black dragons are the Zakrama Sacred Mountain!"

"That's the entrance to Jingjue Ancient City!" the man surnamed Hu shouted excitedly.

Professor Chen and others also came to their senses, and they all trembled with excitement: "That's right, it's right there. It's exactly the same as the one on the map. We finally found it!"

Chen Mo looked at the two black giant dragons. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that they were actually two black magnetic mountains, like a natural barrier, guarding the entire Jingjue Kingdom.

However, Chen Mo had a question. Logically speaking, Cishan had always been intact, so why was this Cishan broken from it? Moreover, the crack in the middle was like a knife cutting an axe. It did not look like a natural break at all, but rather seemed to have been cut off by someone's sword.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountains leads to death. Although everyone has already seen the entrance to Jingjue Ancient City, they still have to walk for at least two days to reach it.

At night, the team set up camp on the same spot. Everyone was very excited. After working hard for more than half a month and narrowly escaping death, they finally saw the result.

Just when everyone was asleep, two figures, an old man and a young man, left quietly, and the man named Wang who was on guard did not notice at all.

"Master Chen, I heard that tomb robber said that this is where he got the bronze mirror." Yuan Qingshan panted and said. He circulated his whole body's Qi, and the yellow sand under his feet was churning, and he could barely catch up with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo put his hands on his back, calm and relaxed, as if walking on the clouds, but with every step he took, he was several feet away, and Yuan Qingshan was shocked beyond measure.

The journey that took a group of people two days to complete was completed by Chen Mo and Yuan Qingshan in a few hours. At dawn, Chen Mo and Yuan Qingshan finally stood in front of Zakrama Sacred Mountain.

Observing the gap between the two magnetic mountains at close range, Chen Mo was extremely sure of his guess. This gap was cut off by someone's sword.

Although thousands of years have passed, the incisions on both sides of Cishan still retain a faint trace of spiritual power.
