Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!

On the wet and slippery ground, a snake as thick as a baby's arm was coiled not far from the two of them...

The key point was that there was still half a big rat in its mouth... Maybe Li Xiuyuan and the others had disturbed its dinner, so there was anger in its eyes!

Li Xiuyuan was shocked. Fortunately, it was not a poisonous snake, otherwise both of them would have been in danger.

He quickly begged, "Brother Snake, I'm sorry to bother you. Please, um, please, hehe..."

Gao Hu also found his flashlight at this time. He saw the snake and wanted to catch it, but was stopped by Li Xiuyuan.

"Don't make trouble. Since it hasn't launched an attack, let's not confront it."

What if he still has grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters? It’s better not to mess with them.

Gao Hu glanced at Li Xiuyuan and did not object.

The two began to look around. First, there was mud and water stains on the ground, and on both sides were walls made of blue bricks, and at both ends were dark tunnels, like ghost paths leading to hell.

Li Xiuyuan and Gao Hu waited for a long time downstairs, but no one came down to rescue them. After discussing it, the two decided to save themselves. They couldn't go up any higher as it was more than ten meters high and there was no rescue equipment.

The two had to find a direction and start walking forward. The torches and flashlights in their hands could only illuminate a short distance around them, so the two walked very slowly.

In this silent and deep tunnel, coupled with the word "ancient tomb", both of them felt very scared.

"Gao Hu..."

"Ah."

"Is this your first time visiting a tomb?"

Gao Hu nodded, and suddenly realized that Li Xiuyuan couldn't see him nodding, so he said, "The first time."

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, if two novices were on the road, their driver's licenses would definitely be revoked!

The two people's soft voices seemed very loud in this silent corridor, and there was an echo. Both of them found it creepy, so they dared not speak anymore.

The two took out the white towels that had been prepared long ago and wrapped them around their noses and mouths.

They walked in the silent tomb passage for a while and found nothing else, not even a tomb chamber.

Could it be that I'm going the wrong way?

But Li Xiuyuan felt that they were not going in the wrong direction, because he could feel that they were going downwards, and since the tomb chamber was right there, the direction was correct.

We have been walking for so long but still haven't found the tomb, which means this tomb is definitely not an ordinary tomb. There may be some mechanism inside.

Li Xiuyuan wanted to leave. He didn't want to rob tombs at all, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the exit. Gao Hu didn't want to go out. He wanted to find his brother and continue robbing tombs with him.

Suddenly, the two saw that the walls on both sides had changed. There were many more pictures, still colorful, and the colors were as bright as new. Although some places had fallen off, they could still make out what the paintings were about.

Li Xiuyuan and Gao Hu identified them carefully and recognized them as a dragon and a tiger, which should be the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger.

Going further, the painting on the wall turns into a galloping carriage with people in luxurious clothes sitting in the carriage. As the carriage speeds along, two red flags on each side of the rear of the carriage flutter in the wind. Auspicious air and clouds flow around the carriage, and the rising clouds look lifelike.

Going further ahead, there is a passage. On the archway of the passage, there are pictures of pavilions and buildings, and a pair of vermilion birds are flying in the sky.

The two men were fascinated by the paintings and walked slowly along the painted wall. When they came to a place that looked like a patio, they stopped.

It looks very high here, about five or six meters. Both walls of the patio are painted with murals of civil and military officials. Looking at their clothing, Li Xiuyuan can tell that it is the attire of people from the Tang Dynasty.

He could finally confirm that this was a Tang Dynasty tomb, and a large one at that.

Li Xiuyuan's guess was soon confirmed. Walking further, the mural depicted majestic ceremonial guards in armor. They wore the same black fu hat on their heads, and white narrow-sleeved long robes inside. They had belts tied around their waists, and light blue short-sleeved windbreakers on the outside, which were open and unfastened. They wore long pointed black boots on their feet, and bows, crossbows and long swords on their waists. The painting was natural and realistic.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the murals and felt like he had returned to the colorful Tang Dynasty.

Going further, you will find that there is a small tomb-like place on each side, but these are definitely not tombs because they are not large and only one meter high. They have been destroyed by humans and the things inside have been stolen, leaving only some broken porcelain pieces.

What Li Xiuyuan didn't know was that this kind of small tomb chamber is called a small niche, which is where burial objects are placed.

As we walked forward, we saw various exquisite murals on both sides and even above our heads, with various exquisite towers, ceremonial guards and rows of spears. Some of the murals were destroyed by tomb robbers in order to steal the cultural relics on both sides of the walls. Looking at the many broken bricks and tiles scattered on the ground and the exquisite murals destroyed on the walls, Li Xiuyuan secretly cursed these thieves as inhuman.

After passing six such patios, they finally came to a ruined stone gate.

Looking at the broken walls and stumps inside the stone gate, one can imagine the intense scene at that time.

Li Xiuyuan saw many stones in the tomb passage. They did not look like stone doors. They must be stones that fell when the tomb robbers triggered the mechanism.

"Gao Hu, shall we continue to move forward?"

Gao Hu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! We're already here, why turn back? Besides, the trap here has been triggered, so there won't be any more traps. We can get through without any problem."

Li Xiuyuan felt that what Gao Hu said made sense. Besides, he couldn't go back. The only way he could find a way out was to move forward.
