In the previous article, we mentioned that in June 1983, on the slope of Xiangshangang in Guangzhou, a construction team accidentally found a bottomless ancient tomb while leveling the small hill of Xianggang Mountain. Archaeologists at the scene looked down through the gap in the tomb and preliminarily speculated that this stone chamber tomb was a noble tomb before the Han Dynasty, and it was even likely to be the tomb of the King of Nanyue that had been confusing for thousands of years!
The State of Nanyue was a feudal regime in the Western Han Dynasty, which divided Lingnan, and the founding monarch was Zhao Tuo, who before his death, in the hidden mountains outside the city, secretly excavated dozens of suspicious tombs, laid down the most strange ecstasy array, and for thousands of years tomb robbers frantically searched for them, and it was difficult to find traces. Could it be that this mysterious tomb is about to reappear in this way?
Archaeologist Mai Yinghao, then director of the Guangzhou Museum, found at the scene that along the large stone slab that cracked along the ground, the first large stone door of the tomb seemed to have collapsed, lying irregularly in the tomb, which was obviously an ominous omen. For safety reasons, he arranged for personnel to be stationed, dismissed construction workers, and blocked the news of the discovery of the cemetery. He decided, without further ado, that at ten o'clock tonight, he must send someone overnight to venture through the cracks into the tomb to the detectives to confirm whether the tomb had been stolen.
At night, Mai Yinghao and several archaeology team members came to the mouth of the ancient tomb cave again, according to the observation during the day, the widest part of the stone slab on the top of the tomb was only more than 30 centimeters, and finally decided that Huang Miaozhang, who was thin and small among the team members, would enter the tomb alone to investigate.
Huang Miaozhang carried a large flashlight with five batteries on his shoulder and a long rope tied around his waist, and under the nervous gaze of everyone, he prepared to follow the gap in the stone slab into the eerie and cold ancient cemetery palace. "Wait a minute," Mai Yinghao instructed again, "be careful, go down and mark the location of the cultural relics, try to step on the same footprint to come back, smell the strange smell or hear a strange noise, quickly retreat, if it is too late, you will shout a few times, and we will immediately drag you out with a rope!" ”
Huang Miaozhang nodded, and then slowly descended into the tomb along the gap in the underground palace, and suddenly felt a damp mist coming towards him, followed by psychological fear and nervousness. After his feet landed, Huang Miaozhang carefully observed the surroundings, only to see that this ancient tomb was all built with large stones, and the four walls of the underground palace were intact, however, the top stone slab of the tomb was broken or even deformed and displaced, which meant that as long as a stone slab collapsed, he might be crushed to pieces. Huang Miaozhang couldn't help but shiver and creep, he decided to seize the time and make a quick decision.
Huang Miaozhang forced himself to calm down, and he began to observe carefully with the help of a flashlight beam, and found himself in a hall with a large stone door in front of and behind the hall, and there seemed to be two similarly sized boxes on the left and right. On the surrounding stone walls, there are also exquisite cirrus cloud patterns, such a huge stone chamber underground palace and magnificent carvings, unprecedented in the Lingnan region, at this time, Huang Miaozhang's nervous fear was gradually replaced by this excitement and excitement.
Huang Miaozhang did not care about the broken boulders on the top of the tomb, and while observing the funerary items such as copper dings and pottery scattered on the ground, he carefully crossed an aisle and came to a large stone door. Only to see the carved tomb beast with grinning teeth on the stone wall, becoming more and more vicious in the vast fog, Huang Miaozhang peeked inward along the crack of the stone door, and suddenly shouted in shock!
