Chapter 206 Giants
"Not a human?" I froze on the spot for a moment.
"Yes, this thing should be the most common burial object in ancient tombs: human figurines!" Grandpa explained.
Having said this, everyone turned on the lighting equipment in their hands. When the powerful light of the emergency lights shone on the water, we finally saw clearly that under the water, there lay a stone servant as tall as a person.
I guess that it may be because of the age and the water entering the tomb that the human figurines that were supposed to be buried with Dayu were washed all the way here by the water.
In addition, this tomb passage is more like a swimming pool, with dim light and dark river surface, so we did not discover the existence of this thing at first.
After the fat man saw the human figurines, he immediately forgot his previous unhappiness and showed a greedy smile on his face: "Hey, let me tell you! I think these human figurines are exquisitely made, with noses and eyes, and they are no worse than Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
!If this is fished out, it will definitely be sold for a good price. Let’s agree in advance. I saw this first, and according to the rules of the industry, it’s first come, first served. No one can compete with me.
"
Seeing that the fat man was determined to be evil, I sarcastically said to him: "This servant has been soaked in water for thousands of years. I'm afraid if you move it, it will disappear into ashes and no one can take it away."
"Then I don't care, I want this thing anyway."
Seeing the fat man acting rogue, Zhang Sanpao said solemnly: "I don't think this is something auspicious..."
"Nonsense, we are fighting against each other. We are doing unscrupulous business. We are looking for good luck. Who is here?" The fat man said nonchalantly.
"That's not what Zhang Sanpao said." At the same time, the experienced grandfather and Uncle Ming had already shined the emergency light from the servant's face down his neck: "This figurine is not made of stone."
"It's not made of stone?" I was shocked: "Then what kind of material is it made of so that it can be soaked in water for thousands of years without rotting?"
"Could it be bronze?"
"No, no, no, the bronze should have been rusted long ago, but the surface of this thing is very smooth." Zhang Sanpao shook his head, then carefully looked at the tomb passage, and said in a deep voice: "And I suspect that this place was not originally
It’s not a waterway.”
"How do you say that?" I asked.
"It should be that the waterproofing measures of the ancient tomb failed, which caused the water from the underground river to flood here. That is what happened in the past few years." Zhang Sanpao said this, turned around and asked his grandfather: "Old man, were you here before?
When we passed here, was this a waterway?"
Grandpa replied: "You said that, I remembered it. When I brought the fellow villagers here, the water had just reached my knees, and now it is one or two meters deep! It seems that it is really the underground river that caused this place.
water potential.”
When the fat man saw that everyone was talking about the tomb passage, he suddenly showed a hint of joy. He rolled his eyes and was about to move the underwater human figurines.
As it turned out, the figurine was indeed not strong. After a slight touch, the fat man tore off an arm.
The angry fat man yelled: "Fuck grandma's bear, what the hell is this? How come it's all soaked to death?"
Before the fat man finished speaking, I discovered that on the half of the arm that the fat man was holding, a few small white bugs came out. Although the bugs were small, they seemed to have their own radar system, and they came from the arm one after another.
A head popped out of the fracture.
Seeing the densely packed white worms, which looked like cooked rice, I was disgusted and yelled at the fat man: "Damn it, fat man, throw it away quickly, there are bugs on it! Throw it away quickly!"
At this time, the fat man also saw those white bugs. Seeing them crawling more and more, the fat man threw them out of the waterway without saying a word.
I was afraid that the white bugs hidden in the figurines were poisonous, so I quickly told everyone to leave.
After all, no one knows how many such bugs are hidden in the figurines, let alone the origin of the bugs. Just in case, everyone has to leave the water as soon as possible.
As we continued deeper into the waterway, we encountered more and more human figurines, but none of these human figurines were intact, and they were all lying in pieces under the water.
Judging from the location, Zhang Sanpao guessed correctly. These human figurines should have been washed here by groundwater, otherwise they would not be placed like this.
After a period of time, the water surface began to become shallower, and the stone roads on both sides gradually emerged from the water. Everyone got rid of the water channel in the middle and jumped onto the stone roads on both sides to continue moving forward.
As the water level dropped, the tomb passage gradually returned to its original appearance! Grandpa asked us to stop first, made a few torches, and lit up the surrounding area before we started to observe carefully.
In my opinion, this is not so much a tomb passage as a burial pit filled with human figurines.
This burial pit is not natural, but was dug out bit by bit manually, because I saw many traces of manual excavation on the stone walls on both sides.
This was no small project in ancient times. In ancient times, there were no drilling machines and no power supply. Dayu worked very hard to build his own tomb.
On both sides of the burial pit, there are many huge standing human figurines fixed. These human figurines are much larger than the previous underwater human figurines, almost two or three meters high, and their heads are extremely large. They are directly
They stood at the top of the tomb passage. Their whole bodies were covered with bright red paint, their eyes were fierce, they were holding various bows and arrows, and they were holding long swords. They were like gatekeepers in the underworld, and the entire tomb passage was under their gaze.
Down.
I looked at these big-headed human figurines and felt a little scared, so I asked my grandfather if he had ever seen such huge human figurines buried with him.
Grandpa shook his head and said he had never seen it before.
But the fat man asked in confusion: "Old man, since you have been here, how come you haven't seen it before? Could it be that these giant servants were put into the tomb passage in recent years?"
Before Grandpa could explain, Uncle Ming coughed and said, "I guess these huge servants must have been hidden in the wall. Over the years, they were gradually exposed through the continuous erosion of groundwater. So the old man at that time
Didn't see them."
I saw them talking and talking, but no one could explain the origin of these big-headed giants. After thinking about it, I felt that Zhang Sanpao was very knowledgeable and might know the secrets here, so I asked Zhang Sanpao if he had heard of any ancient people.
Are they such big-headed giants? Could it be that these big-headed giants are the giants in ancient legends? Or they are simply things created by Dayu YY.
Zhang Sanpao was listening to the conversation between his grandfather and Uncle Ming. When I mentioned it, he seemed to have thought of something and frowned slightly.
But he soon shook his head, as if he thought he was overthinking it.
When I saw Zhang Sanpao pretending to be mysterious and not telling anyone, I immediately got angry and wanted to catch Zhang Sanpao and ask what was going on.
