Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.
Chapter 163 The Two-Headed Gu King
These two temple doors look...like they're made of pure gold!
[What utter nonsense! Do you even know what pure gold means? If this were pure gold, a single door would weigh at least several tons!]
[I Want to Pass the Exam (Postgraduate Entrance Exam Version): I'm a postgraduate student in archaeology. In the 3,700-year history of Chinese culture, there has never been an ancient building with a gate made of pure gold. Furthermore, gold isn't hard enough to be suitable for a gate, so please don't get your hopes up; it couldn't possibly be pure gold!]
Seeing the debate in the comments section of the live stream, Chen Yibai gave the official, correct answer: "Guys, this is pure gold! And the purity is over 99.9%!"
Chen Yibai's explanation was not that the two doors were pure gold, but that such advanced gold refining technology existed thousands of years ago!
This wealth of archaeological knowledge is undoubtedly more valuable than these two golden gates!
[I Want to Pass the Postgraduate Entrance Exam (Preparation Version): 99.9% Purity? ??? ? ...]
[@IWantToPassThePostgraduateEntranceExam (Postgraduate Entrance Exam Version), haha, you got slapped in the face, buddy, you'll never pass the exam in your lifetime!]
[Holy crap! It's pure gold! Today the international gold price is $650 per gram, how much is that? Is the anchor about to strike it rich?!]
[Dream on! This belongs to the country. Do you think the streamer dares to touch it? Even a small piece could be grounds for torture!]
Chen Yibai shrugged and smiled dismissively, thinking to himself, "I earn tens of millions a day from live streaming, why would I care about these pittances?"
While giving a simple explanation, Chen Yibai continued to look at the two golden doors in front of him.
On these two golden doors are carved two vivid scenes, all about Gu magic, including the birth of Gu monkeys and the planting of blood-sucking vines on human bodies. The real scenes depicted are even more terrifying and chilling than imagined.
Especially the birthing of the monkeys. The pregnant woman's belly, which is ten months pregnant, is so big that it looks like an abstract painting. The monkeys inside the belly do not give birth naturally, but rather they use their sharp claws to break open their bellies and come out. A black head sticks out from the belly and smiles evilly at you. The carving is so lifelike and realistic that it seems as if the monkeys will jump out of the painting if you look at it a few more times.
Anyone with a weaker mental fortitude would likely suffer a lifetime of psychological trauma from seeing this.
After seeing all this, Chen Yibai turned around and looked around the ancient temple again.
This ancient temple was probably used by the ancient Gu Kingdom for sacrificial rites.
In ancient times, regardless of the culture or civilization, sacrificial rites were always an indispensable and important part.
Sacrifice is one of the core elements of the continuation of civilization, and it is also a kind of belief!
Although the ancient temple is old and its interior is weathered and dilapidated, surprisingly, the lush weeds and vegetation outside have not spread in, as if they are avoiding something.
The entire ancient temple is built entirely of massive stones without a single pillar, showcasing superb construction techniques. Many areas are decorated with gold and silver plating, exuding an air of extravagance, making one imagine how magnificent and opulent it must have once been.
Directly above the ancient temple, facing south, and directly opposite the temple gate, stands a gilded human-shaped stone statue nearly ten feet tall.
This humanoid stone statue has short, thick limbs, a bare upper body, a broad back and a powerful waist, and its muscles are sculpted in a very three-dimensional and rugged way. A giant python with a gaping maw and exposed fangs is wrapped around its waist. Two heads are perched on its shoulders, both of which have extremely ugly faces. One face is twisted in pain, while the other face is furrowed in despair.
This is not a ghost!
Chen Yibai recalled a passage from "The Tomb Raider's Notes".
This is the two-headed Gu King of the ancient Gu Kingdom!
According to legend, the first Gu king, who led the Gu tribe to conquer and establish the ancient Gu kingdom through war, was a two-headed deformed child. From birth, he was in pain on one side and depressed on the other, with two personalities sharing one body!
Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that this is the site of the ancient Gu Kingdom.
Two-headed malformations seem to have occurred in modern times before. Although not particularly rare, looking at these two extremely ugly faces, filled with pain and frustration, Chen Yibai already sensed from the bottom of his heart that this two-headed monster king was not only physically deformed, but the thoughts of its two heads were also extremely twisted and perverse...
For tomb raiders, the worst thing is to encounter a tomb owner who was cruel in life, so it goes without saying that the tomb they build for themselves after death will be even more so.
Take Cao Cao for example. He was suspicious by nature during his lifetime, and even after his death, he had more than seventy cenotaphs built for him!
[Captain Chen, can you explain what this two-headed monster is?]
Which deity is being worshipped?
[What nonsense! This looks like a ghost or monster; I bet it's some kind of demon or monster!]
Do you really think Captain Chen is a god, someone who knows everything?
This time, Chen Yibai did not continue his explanation. Instead, he took a few steps forward and went around to the back of the two-headed Gu King statue.
as predicted.
Behind the two-headed Gu King statue, there is a dark, square entrance to an underground palace, more than a meter in diameter, with steep steps leading downwards. Even with Chen Yibai's night vision, he could not see the bottom at a glance.
Next to it was a thick stone slab that had been pried open, and some modern tools and crowbars were scattered around.
There is no doubt that the Heavenly Path Society has already gone down.
Holy crap! There's a secret passage here?!
Doesn't this look like a tomb?
[And this tomb has already been robbed?]
[Hey streamer, I'll send you a small beer, hurry up and take me down there to check it out]
Hey buddy, on behalf of Captain Chen, thank you for the two-cent beer!
Chen Yibai took out the Wolf Eye flashlight from his backpack, but after thinking about it, he put it back and carefully entered the underground palace in the dark.
Since the Skywalkers had already gone in first, and they were numerous and powerful, and might even have brought weapons of truth, turning on the wolf-eye flashlight would be too conspicuous and easily discovered, so they definitely had to 'smear' it.
Fortunately, Chen Yibai had thought of this before coming, so he spent a lot of money to buy a high-definition live streaming camera with night vision.
As the live stream camera followed Chen Yibai into the underground palace, the live stream instantly switched to a black and white format with night vision effects.
Although this severely affected the visual quality of the live stream, the black and white color scheme actually added a touch of eeriness, making it feel like you were actually there.
[Hey streamer, where's your wolf-eye flashlight? Are you worried about wasting battery by not using it now?]
[Without turning on the lights, did the streamer go down in complete darkness? Or was the streamer wearing night vision goggles?]
I admire the streamer's courage; I probably would have been paralyzed with fear by now...
[That's why they're considered descendants of the Tomb Raiders; do you really think the title 'Tomb Raider' is just a joke?]
[That's what professionalism is! This is professionalism for you!]
I feel like this could be made into a movie or TV series; it would definitely be a huge hit...
