Hearing Angel say this, Zhou Xingnan nodded affirmatively and asked abruptly

"I can't think of it, I can't imagine that Angel really can't imagine that you are the descendants of the Lord of Youxiang Snow City in the ancient city of Mu Han Tiansai, but your people really can't find it, your grandfather, they are really camel merchants in this desert"

Without waiting for Angel to answer, she saw that the mutton fat jade mound naturally cracked out a passage like a small door from the side, and the soldiers nervously pulled the bolt of the gun, and quickly surrounded Hara Khan and Professor Li Changshan behind them

Ande used a flashlight to shine a light into it, and the beam hit the jade mound, and immediately the entire jade mound emitted a faint fluorescence, and the beam was illuminated like a large light bulb, showing a translucent light

What is even more surprising is that there is nothing in the jade mound, and if you look closely, not only is there no coffin, but it seems that there is an artificially built staircase leading to the depths

After waiting for a while, there was no danger and nothing unusual happened, even the stone man of black jade stopped firing arrows and crossbows, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief

More than a dozen fighters had already stood up, and Angliss took the lead and entered the jade mound first, and Zhou Xingnan quickly followed, and said loudly

"Be careful, hold your breath for such a long time, go out a priori a priori"

The soldiers came out, and Zhou Xingnan took out a small bag wrapped in oiled paper from his arms, and slowly opened it, which turned out to be a few lighters and a pair of solid fuel

Zhou Xingnan made a few small torches out of solid fuel, but in fact, it was very simple, just inserting fuel into the tip of the bayonet

It is said that this solid flare is specially made and can burn for several hours in a thumb-sized piece, but it is also particularly dazzling, and can reach a range of up to three meters

At this time, the tomb has completely leaked, and under the light of the flashlight, dozens of flashlights illuminate the jade mound as if it were daylight

Looking inward, there is a snow-white white marble stone staircase, which extends downward, and on both sides of the stone stairs there are many maids, almost all of whom are finely carved from mutton fat jade

The professor's two students, one carrying a torch, were exploring the way in front, then Wang Hao and Angel, then the squad leader and soldiers, and then the professor and Harakhan and Li Changshan

There was a squad of internal guards outside, and at first, everyone was cautious and had to look around every step they took, worried that there would be something like a trap or a hidden arrow

And Zhu Pengyue and Chu Pengfei also distanced themselves from everyone, and the white marble steps under their feet were cultivated until they reached a position of about three or four meters, and then there was no more

It became a large hall, forty or fifty square in size, but it was damp and there were no ornaments, not even carved maids

However, it seems that the air is very sufficient, the fuel burns very well, and there is no sign of hypoxia, Zhou Xingnan looked at the hall carefully, very puzzled

The hall is empty, and if from an archaeological point of view, the place where the jade mound is located should be the resting place of the tomb owner

Even if you shouldn't also put some bright utensils or treasures, you can't just set up a dark passage

After careful inspection, Zhou Xingnan and his students found nothing, not only did they find nothing, but even some stone carvings and wall carvings in the ancient tombs were missing

Unable to find anything valuable, I could only continue to walk forward, but the tomb road paved with white marble was gone, and the tomb road was no longer downward, but an arc passage was opened at the wall due east

After entering, it was paved with ordinary mountain stones, and the stone steps were curved into an arc-like form and extended upward

The wall of the tomb is no longer paved with jade, but changed to the appearance of ancient blue bricks, and slowly becomes wider and wider, and it has become a corridor with a width of three meters and a height of four or five meters

The walls of the tomb are now no longer monotonous, and there are clearly small brick platforms that protrude out of the way, on which are placed all kinds of clay ceramics

Yu Peng looked at it more seriously, nodded to Zhou Xingnan and shouted: "Teacher, this is very strange, I don't think this is like an ancient tomb, but it seems to be a pedestrian road, and there are no sacrificial items."

These clay pots look like they're used for lighting, and you can see the position of the oil core at each end, if I'm right, it's the oil lamp they use for lighting."

Zhou Xingnan carefully inspected these clay pots, the clay pots were basically the same size, and the production process was not exquisite, but at that time it should be regarded as a fine product

Above are the depictions of some colorful characters and life scenes, it seems that the air of this corridor is not convective to the outside world, and the paintings on the clay pot and the clay pot itself have not been invaded by weathering

Zhou Xingnan was excited, with these clay pots, it was easy to judge that this was the ancient tomb before the Han Dynasty, not to say that it was from the Han Dynasty

However, some of the small seals on the clay pot are strange, and some of them do not look like small seals, but the early stage of small seals, similar to the ancient Jinman Turkic generation

But these also made Zhou Xingnan very excited, he carefully put down the clay pot, and told everyone not to mess with the clay pot on the wall and continue to move forward

Since it is not a tomb road, what can it be, it is not a tomb road, everyone is not as careful as before, but sped up the pace and climbed upwards to explore

Because everyone feels that the road is steeper and steeper the way up, it seems to be like climbing a mountain, which is very difficult, but fortunately, the road is spacious and not too crowded

Further up, I heard the faint sound of running water, the sound of water was very loud, everyone was so tired that they couldn't do it, and when they heard the sound of running water, they couldn't help but speed up their pace

Unexpectedly, when the road came to an end, everyone suddenly opened up, and everyone walked out of the road, and there was a waterhole in front of them, and the waterhole was dozens of meters deep

The surrounding carved railings and jade bricks are like the place of a palace

After careful exploration, I don't think this is really an ancient underground palace, where the main hall is located, there are some pottery lamps similar to those in the Yongdao, but there is no lamp oil in it

But in the center of the main hall, near the staircase of the throne, there were two open flames, which burned incessantly, and the front of the staircase was as bright as day

Zhou Xingnan and the soldiers hurriedly walked up to check that in addition to the jade steps, the dragon bed and dragon chair on the steps had decayed and collapsed

In addition to some scattered bits and pieces of jewelry and jade, wooden or porcelain-like objects have been severely weathered

Although it did not completely collapse, it turned into crisp paper and flew away with the wind and mud when it was just touched by the hand

Zhou Xingnan looked at the two flames burning in front of him, and said in surprise: "Come and see, this is not oil, it looks like it should be crude oil."

Zhou Xingnan's sentence aroused a lot of interest from everyone, and now the oil used for lighting in ancient times for more than 2,000 years is not grease, but crude oil

That is to say, China was able to exploit and use oil more than 2,000 years ago, this is not a joke, and this will be an important discovery in the international community

If such shocking news is released, it proves that the history of human use and exploitation of oil can be traced back to 2,000 years ago
