Chapter 447: 446. Ancient Tomb

The ancient tomb covered a large area.

It encompassed more than two thousand square meters, exuding a strong sense of antiquity, and was encircled by red flags forming a square.

Perfectly square.

Tang Shu took in the outer shape of the tomb, glanced at the accompanying staff who were setting up camp, and stepped onto the stone staircase leading underground.

It was already noon when they arrived, and among the team of a dozen or so people, two were already suffering seriously from altitude sickness. They had found an open space to rest temporarily with oxygen bags.

Zheng Anhe was leading the remaining male students in pitching tents, looking over enviously upon hearing the commotion here.

"I want to go down into the tomb too——"

"It’s said that the exact era of the ancient tomb hasn’t been determined yet, it feels kind of mysterious."

"Right, it feels different from those in Shaanxi Province, like it’s even older?"

"Isn’t that obvious! The owner of the tomb used Stone tablet to record life back then, which must be at least three or four thousand years ago."

"So that means the research value of this ancient tomb is even greater!"

But as for unearthing any gold or silver treasures, jade artifacts and the like, that seemed unlikely.

The few expressed their envy but also hastened their actions.

"Forget it, let’s just hurry up, I’m feeling a bit dizzy too, even though the environment is nice here, the altitude is too high."

"Yeah, I didn’t feel much the past few days, but today I’m a bit dizzy. I need to rest well later."

While talking, the physically fit Zheng Anhe soothed everyone’s emotions and turned to look at the local man beside him.

"Da Wa, are you sure it’s going to rain tonight?"

It was only noon now. The reason they wanted to set up the tents quickly was that this guide brother said it would rain in the evening.

However...

Everyone looked up at the blazing sun above and felt somewhat skeptical.

In the twenty-degree sunshine, they had already taken off their light down jackets or thick coats and were just wearing a thin, long-sleeved T-shirt.

With this weather, how could it possibly rain?

Da Wa just grinned, "That’s how it is here. I can’t say exactly why, but do you see that cloud over there? It’s definitely going to rain."

The group all looked toward the cloud.

"..."

No, still not believing it.

Zheng Anhe scanned around, "Let’s just listen to Da Wa and hurry up. Once we’ve set up the tents, we can go check things out and broaden our horizons with the professors!"

These words acted like a signal, and everyone hurriedly gathered their belongings with quick hands.

Under the tomb.

A party of five entered the underground and came upon a long corridor; after walking for about three to four minutes, they finally reached the burial chamber.

Tang Shu, with the aid of his flashlight, finally saw the layout clearly.

Symmetric along the central axis, with murals on both sides. In addition to simple sketches, there were annotations in Stone tablet.

Beyond that, the tomb also contained some simple stone tables and stone benches, as well as rudimentary ceramic utensils, showing signs of weathering due to the passage of time.

The professors, Kong and Cao, were ecstatic, carefully took out brushes, and gently dusted the artifacts, revealing faces of regret.

"The era is too old; they’ve started to weather."

"Yes... Ah? There are paintings on this bottle?"

"Then we need to be extra careful."

Meanwhile, Tang Shu took out his notebook and began recording the Stone tablet inscriptions on the walls, writing annotations as he deciphered them.
