C1163 I'm Going to Make a Fortune

After hearing that, the Red Sparrow let out a long sigh and said, "I don't know about that phone of yours, but hearing what you said, I suddenly remembered that when we fell from above, we fell for more than ten seconds without falling to the ground."

"Oh right, I fell for more than ten seconds before I fainted. Do you know how long we fell? We can calculate the distance based on the speed at which we fell."

Yang Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard that. "Like you, I also fell for more than ten seconds and passed out."

Red Sparrow was stunned after hearing that. "In that case, both of us fell to the ground after fainting. At such a high distance, why are we not hurt at all?"

Yang Xuan let out a long sigh. "Now we can't care about these things. Enigmatic questions come one after another. Now we can only take one step at a time. Our top priority right now is to think of a way to get out of here before thinking about other things."

Red Sparrow nodded after hearing that. Then, the two of them started to observe the surroundings.

Fortunately, Yang Xuan's custom-made phone had a flashlight with good lighting effect. It was like an underground cave, about ten meters wide and seven to eight meters tall. The space was very wide.

The cave was surrounded by damp and cold rocks. The cave led to the depths, and no one knew how long it was.

After looking around for a while, the red sparrow frowned and said, "Why is this underground cave a little different from what I saw on TV?"

Yang Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Of course it's different. The caves you saw on TV were naturally formed, but this cave was man-made."

"Ah? Do you think it was man-made?"

The Saintess Red Sparrow was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. "That's impossible. Who would go so deep to chisel out a cave? Could there be a mistake?"

Yang Xuan shook his head lightly and walked to the side of the stone wall. He used his flashlight to shine on the wet stone wall. He said, "The traces of artificial digging are very obvious. If it was naturally formed. The lines on it should be very smooth and regular."

"But the patterns on the stone wall are very stiff. They're definitely not naturally formed. But judging from the traces of erosion on the wall, I'm afraid this underground cave has been around for quite some time. I estimate that it's at least a thousand years old."

Red Sparrow followed Yang Xuan's gaze and looked at the stone wall carefully for a while. He frowned and said, "It's really man-made."

"But this is even more unbelievable. This cave is definitely a very, very, very difficult project even now, let alone ancient times. How did those people do it in the past?"

Yang Xuan took a deep breath and sighed. "We have to ask ancient people to know about this. Don't underestimate their intelligence. Let's go. We don't have the time to study archeology right now. We have to think of a way to get out of here as soon as possible."

"There is a better piece of information now. Since this cave is thought to be excavated, it means that there must be an exit. I hope we can survive this time."

When Yang Xuan said the last sentence, his lips were full of a bitter smile.

Continuing to escape from death, these few words sounded incomparably tragic.

They had already escaped from death several times today. They didn't know whether to say they were extremely lucky or unlucky.

A normal person probably wouldn't have as much experience as they had today in a few lifetimes.

The two of them walked deeper into the cave. Fortunately, although the cave was deep underground, the air was very smooth, which made it even more certain that there was an exit to the outside world.

The size of the cave exceeded Yang Xuan's expectations. After walking for more than ten minutes, they still did not see the end of the cave.

The only explanation was that this place used to be a natural underground cave. The ancient people had also processed and modified this place based on the original natural cave.

Otherwise, it was impossible to complete such a huge project purely by relying on manpower.

"Why do you think the ancient people wanted to build such a huge underground cave here? What exactly is their purpose? They can't possibly be so full."

The red sparrow looked around while clicking its tongue in admiration. Its curiosity had already surpassed its worry and fear.

Yang Xuan used his flashlight to lead the way as he said, "Whether it is the ancient or modern times, building underground caves generally requires a few types of motivation."

"The first is to store resources, but according to the scale and structure of this cave, the ancient people who built this cave should not have been used to store supplies, or else it would not have needed to be so large. And this structure is not right. "

"The second possibility is to avoid the chaos of war and other disasters and migrate underground to live, but this possibility is almost impossible, because there are no signs of long-term survival in this place."0

The red sparrow was puzzled. "It's not used to store supplies or to survive. What is it?"

As it spoke, the red sparrow was suddenly stunned. "Could it be a mausoleum?"

Yang Xuan nodded. "This is the greatest possibility. In the minds of the ancient people, after a person dies, they will continue to live in another place."

"So the ancient people value their own tombs very much. The first thing many emperors do after they ascend to the throne is to start building their own tombs."

"From the ascension to the death, a few days or even dozens of years are short. They will build their own tombs very luxurious and enormous. They will try to continue to enjoy the wealth and glory of the world even after they die."

"If it was possible, then it would be very good to explain why the ancient people built such a huge underground project back then. Because to them, this is definitely as important as immortality."

"It's just that in the thousands of years of history of humans, in order to build their own tombs, it consumed a lot of their national power, and the emperors who indirectly lived and destroyed their countries were not few."

"Things built with the power of the entire country, of course, could not be small."

The Red Sparrow listened with great interest to what Yang Xuan said, as if it had forgotten the current situation. It was more like he was here to travel and explore. He clicked his tongue and sighed. It asked curiously, "But this doesn't look like a mausoleum. It's just a dark corridor. I don't see any coffins either. "

Yang Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If you were the emperor of the ancient times, you would have the final say in the entire world. How could you be so careless when it comes to something as important as your own tomb?"

"The tombs of those ancient emperors were built by the power of the entire country. They cost a lot of money. It wouldn't be strange for hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to build them for decades."

"If this is really a tomb of an ancient emperor, the place we are at right now is probably just a passageway. It can't even be considered the entrance of the underground palace."

"This is like a city. We haven't even entered the city yet, so where did the coffin come from? Why would you leave your family's coffin outside the city?!"

After hearing this, the Red Sparrow rolled her eyes and said, "Your family's coffins are just thrown outside. How can you? I asked you because I don't understand. One coffin after another. How can your words be so unpleasant?"

Yang Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You were the one who brought up the coffins first, alright? Besides, I'm just giving an example."

"Cheh! Then you should give another example!"

The Red Sparrow curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Then, she suddenly thought of something and said happily, "If it really is the Imperial Tombs, there must be a lot of treasures. Are the two of us going to make a fortune!?"
