洞穴是火山喷发时所形成的气泡眼,不到一米的空间让人有着一种透下过气的感觉,更加直不起腰身。四面的石壁上都有水渗出,把洞穴变成了一条水滑梯,在强光手电的照射下闪闪发光,向下伸展,竟不知到底有多深。
萧问天把背包拖过来,说道:“Xiaofei Anna!You are in the middle, follow me;Kelly!You're in the back.(晓飞、安娜!你们在中间,跟着我;凯丽!你在后面。)”高晓飞和安娜都是身上带伤,只有留在中间接受保护。萧问天身体平躺着,把双脚前伸,慢慢地顺着洞穴滑了下去。
幽深的洞穴被黑暗包围,只有呼吸声萦绕耳边,分不出东南西北,阵阵的压抑感和迷失感瞬间袭来,让人心生恐惧。
滑行了好一会,众人只感到洞穴里的水越来越多,更加光滑异常;下滑的速度也是越来越快,并急速地下坠。突然间,前面一阵“哗哗”的流水声传了过来,众人随水猛地滑了过去,马上就觉得一股巨大的推力直接从背后冲过来,把人狠狠地推了下去。那水流是旋转着的,所以人也跟着不停地旋转着下坠,似乎内脏都被甩到一边,更感觉到自己被塞进了滚筒洗衣机里。
众人心生恐惧,不知道要过多久才能够重见光明,重获新生;又或许,就如此这般地永远坠入了地狱,生还无望,心里更是想着感受阳光时的宽广与生命的厚重,但真是流水无情,那一阵阵猛烈的翻滚和搅动,让人几下子就晕得什么都不知道了。
也不知道过了多久,众人晃晃悠悠地清醒过来,感觉浑身都散了架;特别是脖子,疼得不得了,幸亏并没折掉。
“老大!我们还在往下掉!”高晓飞黑暗中大声喊道。
“难道你有办法停下来?”萧问天大声回应。
“没有!”高晓飞哭丧着脸说。
“那就滑吧,注意点别老是踩我的脑袋!”萧问天没好气地说。
“我不知道那是你的脑袋,还以为是一块垫脚石呢,怪不得这么舒服!”高晓飞缩了缩脚,幸灾乐祸地暗笑着。
只听得“扑通扑通”几声响,四人被掼到了水下。
萧问天努力睁开双眼,定睛四面观看,只见上下左右都是黑漆漆的,连忙打开了强光手电,却原来还是在洞穴里,应该是到了下面的水洞,但却是淡水。高晓飞、安娜和凯丽都还跟在后面,看样子也是被转得昏头昏脑了,特别是高晓飞,似乎还在转圈子,举着双手好像在跳芭蕾舞一样。
萧问天意识到深洞潜水的危险,更何况是如此狭窄的深洞之中,身上又没有任何的潜水设备;连忙摇动三人,加速攀附着洞壁,顺着洞穴向下潜去。
潜了不一会,似乎是出了洞口,前面却是一处很大的空间,有点像曾经遇到过的蓝洞。在强光手电的光束照射下,可以看到上面是空的,只有水,没有石壁。
萧问天清点人数,向上一指,挽着安娜的肩膀。凯丽和高晓飞也互相挽着手,四人手脚齐划,一齐向上急潜而去。不多时,突然感到头上一暖,“波”的一声,竟是钻出了水面。众人也都相继钻了出来。
四个人都不约而同地深深吸了一口大气,这才定神细看。只见边沿就在前面不远,连忙流了过去,筋疲力尽地扒在了洞壁的边沿上喘气,迷糊中看到这里似乎是一处很大的空间。四个人扒着喘了好一会,这才慢慢地爬了上去。所有人都完全虚脱了,全身没有一点力气,仰七八叉地躺在地上,不住地吐着被灌得满肚子的水。
良久,萧问天这才慢慢地恢复了状态,他打开强光手电,四面观察起来。
高晓飞仰面朝天躺在地上,闭着眼睛感叹:“Life ah, is such a wake up process, this world layer upon layer ground to us to spread out, this moment blurred face, the next moment will be clear!(人生啊,就是这样一个苏醒的过程,这个世界层层叠叠地向我们展开,这一刻迷离的面目,下一刻就会清晰!)”慢慢地睁开了眼睛,忍不住“哇”地怪叫了一声。
四个人都睁开了双眼,却被眼前的情景吓了一大跳,也不知是从哪里来的力气,惊讶得一滑溜爬了起来。
“This looks like a human trace?(这好像是人类的痕迹?)”安娜情不自禁地说了一声。
“It's not as if this is just human writing.(不是好像,这就是人类的手笔。)”高晓飞惊讶得合不拢嘴。
“Kelly! Check the air quality.(凯丽!检测一下空气质量。)”萧问天把背包递给凯丽。
凯丽拿出检测仪,说道:“The air quality is normal.(空气质量正常。)”
在两支强光手电的照射下,只见这是一个将近一千平米左右的大石室;在对面不远处的石壁上,却关着一对高达三米左右的大石门;两边的门上似乎各雕刻着一头大象和植物一类的物品,大石门的两侧各竖着一根直径达一米左右的大石柱;柱上也雕刻着各式各样的图案花纹。石室的中间位置,却是一个似乎用白石砌起来的水池,也就是他们爬上来的水池,现在看来却像是一个大水井。
萧问天借着光照细看,认得井壁是用上等的汉白玉所砌成,这可是上好的玉料。整座石室是一个圆形结构,石室顶上面似乎描刻着很多图案,但却看不太清楚,周围的石壁上并没有太多的檐楣雕饰,显得朴实无华却又庄重大气。
“Oh dear!What the hell is this place?Can't really fall into the Yama Hall?(噢天哪!这里到底是什么地方?不会真是掉下到阎罗殿了吧?)”高晓飞惊讶得睁大双眼。
“This is supposed to be the entrance gate to an ancient tomb.(这应该是一座古墓的入口大门。)”萧问天拿着强光手电把这个石室又仔仔细细看了一遍,指着侧面说道,“The entrance to the tomb is over there, but it's blocked off. It's supposed to be somewhere on the island, but you can't find it from the outside.(墓道的入口就在那边,但已经被封死了,入口应该就在岛上的某一处,但从外面肯定找不到。)”
“Tomb?But now we should be under the sea, it is not, this is an underwater tomb!Oh my god!(古墓?可我们现在应该是海底之下了,难道,这是一座海底古墓!天哪!)”高晓飞忍不住惊呼。凯丽和安娜也都是惊讶万分,只感到不可思议。
“This is supposed to be an underwater tomb built out of a natural cave formed by a volcanic island. This is just the outside of the dungeon. The well is an underground spring, and the cave we fell into just happens to be connected to this spring!(这应该是一座利用火山岛所形成的天然洞穴而修建的海底古墓。这里只是地宫外部的情景,这水井就是一个地下泉眼;而我们掉下来的洞穴,只是刚好和这个泉眼相连通!)”萧问天抚摸着泉眼的汉白玉井壁。
高晓飞咋舌道:“So, could it be an imperial tomb?But in the ancient Chinese books, it seems that there is no record that the emperor built the sea tomb ah!Oh my god!This is incredible!(这么说,这古墓会不会是座皇陵?可中国的古籍中,好像没记载过有哪个皇帝修建过海底陵墓啊!天哪!这也太不可思议了吧!)”
萧问天摇了摇头,说:“Of course, this is not a Chinese tomb. Judging from the carved patterns left, it should be a relic of ancient Indian civilization. Even if it is not an imperial tomb, it is definitely a royal family.(这当然不会是中国的古墓,从留下来的雕刻图案看,应该是古印度文明的遗迹,就算不是皇陵,那也绝对是皇族,一般的权贵也不可能修建如此大规模的海底古墓。)”他拿着强光手电,慢慢地走过去大门边。
高晓飞点头道:“I almost forgot, this is the Indian Ocean.(我差点忘了,这里是印度洋。)”
凯丽惊叹道:“Ancient Indian civilization, this is incredible!(古印度文明?这也太不可思议了!)”
高晓飞两眼放光,感叹着说道:“A: So there must be a lot of rare and valuable treasures in the tomb!(这么说,陵墓里肯定有很多价值连城的珍稀宝贝!)”
安娜笑道:“Do you want to rob a grave?(难不成,你想盗墓?)”
高晓飞道:“Don't talk nonsense. I'm not some bullshit sergeant who stole a tomb?It's always okay to appreciate it, right?(别胡说八道,我又不是那个什么什么狗屁的摸金校尉,盗什么墓?欣赏欣赏总是可以的吧?)”
安娜不明所以,疑问道:“What is a mercenary officer?(什么是摸金校尉?)”
“Is the legend of the novel film and television, the special grave thief.(就是小说影视中传说的,专门盗墓的贼。)”凯丽一笑,对着高晓飞笑道,“Don't read so many of those poor nutrition grave-robbing novels!(别看这么多那些没营养的盗墓小说!)”
“Now I only read the elder brother's books, but have no interest in seeing this kind of grave robbing works.(我现在只看老大的书,可没兴趣去看这一类的盗墓作品。)”高晓飞得意洋洋地说。
“And so on and so on.(等等、等等。)”安娜疑惑地问道,“What did you say? You mean, the eldest is a writer?(你说什么?你是说,老大是作家?)”
高晓飞点了点头,说道:“Adventure novels written by that, of course, the boss is filled with positive energy, very inspirational for young and old, and is the Chinese and English dialogue, the story took place all over the world, that is the real and the world, truly international fan's literary works, and there are many realistic scene, real, adventurous, tension, exciting, and education,A collection of scenery, exploration, family, friendship, love, human nature, history, military action and patriotic feelings in one, is simply an encyclopedia, read that just call addictive, than those so-called tomb robbing novels do not know how many times.(那当然,老大写的探险小说充满了正能量,非常励志,老少皆宜;而且还是中英文对白,故事的发生地遍布了世界各地,那才是真正能和世界接轨,真正具有国际范的文学作品。而且,还有很多的写实场景,真实、惊险、紧张、刺激,又能教育人,汇集了风光、探险、亲情、友情、爱情、人性、历史、军事动作和爱国情怀于一体,简直就是一部百科全书,看了那才叫过瘾,比那些所谓的盗墓小说强了不知多少倍。)”
安娜惊讶道:“Oh god! Can I read the boss's book?(噢上帝!我可不可以看看老大的书?)”
凯丽笑道:“By all means, but you have to learn Chinese.(那当然可以,但你必须要学会中文。)”
安娜点头一笑:“Oh, that's necessary. Books are a straight line to wisdom. They let you see yourself, see others, see the future.(噢,那是必须的,书是通往智慧的直线,让你看得见自己,看得见别人,看得到未来。)”
萧问天拿着强光手电察看着石门,两边石门上的雕刻非常动人逼真,显出了当时雕刻工艺的不凡功力。他捡了一块石头,试探着敲了敲石门,发出了几声“咚咚咚”清脆的响声,感觉石门的厚度不少于三十厘米,非人力所能撼动。
安娜疑惑地问道:“The boss!Was this ancient India also highly civilized?To be able to build such a large-scale underwater tomb!(老大!这古印度的文明程度也很高吗?居然能够修建如此大规模的海底古墓!)”
萧问天点了点头,说道:“The ancient Indian civilization first arose in the Indus River valley, which is one of the cradles of human civilization and one of the oldest human civilizations.The ancient Indians built a tight social hierarchy, produced fine paintings and sculptures, and the world's longest epic poem.This ancient land is also the birthplace of Buddhism, one of the world's three major religions.The ancient Indian civilization has deeply attracted the world with its extraordinary richness, mystical and magical nature. It has exerted a profound influence on Asian countries, including China, and made an original contribution to human civilization in literature, philosophy and natural science.(古印度文明最早在印度河流域兴起,是人类文明的发源地之一,也是人类最古老的文明之一。古印度人建立了严密的社会等级制度,创作了精美的绘画和雕塑,还有世界上最长的史诗。这块古老的土地还是世界三大宗教之一佛教的诞生地。古印度文明以其异常丰富、玄奥和神奇深深地吸引着世人,对亚洲诸国包括中国产生过深远的影响,在文学、哲学和自然科学等方面,对人类文明作出了独创性的贡献。)”
高晓飞接口说道:“There are four ancient civilizations in the world, but only China's civilization has survived, while the other three have all disappeared.(世界上有四大文明古国,但唯有中国的文明传统延续了下来,而另外三个文明古国都已断层消失了。)”
安娜问道:“Why is that? (那是为什么?)”
高晓飞不好意思地笑道:“I can't answer that!(这个我可回答不上!)”
萧问天接口道:“Wars, which led to the breakage of their ancient civilizations, have even ceased to exist, and only a few people can understand the cultures that have remained, or even understand their ancient civilizations.(战争,是战争导致了它们古文明的断代,甚至可以说已经不复存在,能够残留下来的文化,只有寥寥无几的人能够懂得;或者说,很少有人能够了解他们的古文明。)”
安娜深深地感叹道:“War again, as in the current international situation, the era of peace is an illusion, and nuclear deterrence guarantees the balance of this era. For the moment, this balance has not been upset, but it is being quietly shifted.(又是战争,正如现在的国际局势,和平的时代不过是一种假象,核威慑保障着这个时代的平衡,。目前来说,这种平衡的局势虽然还没有被打破,但也正在悄然偏移了。)”
萧问天看着安娜,默许地点了点头,说道:“You are right, the current situation is more about nuclear peace than peace!(你说得不错,现如今的局势,更多的只是‘核平’,而不是和平!)”
安娜感慨道:“Just like the cultural period of the three ancient civilizations, they all started because of war!(就像三大文明古国的文化断代,都是因为战争而起!)”
萧问天道:“The four ancient civilizations in the world are ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India and China. The reason why they add the word "ancient" in front of the first three countries is because they have long broken the inheritance of civilization.Only the Chinese civilization has a long history, stretching for a long time, although in the long river of history has been constantly aroused by the waves, but rolling forward the trend has never changed.(世界上的四大文明古国,分别是古巴比伦、古埃及、古印度和中国,之所以在前三个国家前面都加了个‘古’字,是因为他们早已断了文明的传承。唯有中华文明一直源远流长,绵延久远,虽在历史长河中不断有浪花激起,但滚滚向前的大势从来未曾改变。)”
印度有着非常古老而又光辉的历史,众所周知的,就是印度河流域文明。但是古印度也有着很多伤痛之处,印度人民抵御不了外来民族的进犯。当雅利安人统治了印度之后,便有了现在所知道的种姓制度。从此以后,印度人民沦为了低等之人,印度人民再也没能重新得到自己应有的地位,重新恢复自己往日的光辉,没能够翻身做主人,而古巴比伦、古埃及也都出现了类似的情况。
然而中国,有着五千年的悠悠历史,从古老的农耕文明,到后来的青铜器时代,到近现代的屈辱史,到现在成为强大的国家前列,中国有着无数代人的努力,中华彰显着一部悠悠史书。中华民族,从没有过被外来国家统治的时候;哪怕是最为黑暗的晚清政府时期,也只是沦为了半封建半殖民社会,中国的思想和文化依旧存在,并且作为中华民族的精气神,带领中国人赶走了侵略者,重新将民族振作起来。哪怕是被蒙古人、满人统治过,那也只是自家人的小打小闹。归根结底还是一家人,只是换了人当家作主。所以,中国的文化传承依旧没断,依旧能够继续源远流长下去。
而其他国家的遭遇就不一样了,中东被亚历山大大帝狂野征服,强硬灌输希腊文化。穆斯林直接将印度的种族、语言、信仰全都重新洗牌,他们的文化都被打碎了重新树立,丢失了原本自己的东西。而中国就从未遭遇过如此巨变,未曾被别的国家一拳打死,再重新种植新的文化。所以,中国就成为了古老文明四国中、唯一能够让传统文明延续的国家。
高晓飞、凯丽和安娜听完萧问天的一番话,都是若有所思。
安娜继而问道:“The boss!When would this underwater tomb date back to?How old is it?(老大!那这座海底古墓会是什么时候的?究竟有多古?)”
萧问天摇了摇头,说道:“I don't know. At least, it's not clear yet.(不知道,最少,目前还看不清楚。)”
他仔细地注视着石门上雕刻的图案,分析着说:“According to the pattern traces of the stone door carving, it should be between 300 years and 400 years, which is exactly the era of the ancient Indian Mughal Empire and also the most glorious period in the history of ancient India. Of course, this is only my preliminary speculation.(从石门雕刻的图案痕迹来看,应该在三百多年到四百年之间,这个时间段,正是古印度莫卧儿帝国时代,也是古印度历史上最辉煌的时期。当然了,这只是我初步的推测。)”
高晓飞问道:“Between 300 years and 400 years, when was it in China?(三百多年到四百年之间,在中国又是什么时候?)”
萧问天默算了一下,这才说道:“Now go forward 390 years, in China is the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen three years.(现在往前推移三百九十年,在中国就是明朝崇祯三年。)”
高晓飞感叹道:“The ancient tomb of Ming Dynasty, the treasure affirms a lot!(明代的古墓,宝贝肯定很多!)”
萧问天看了一会石门,又走到侧面的大石柱前,慢慢地绕着石柱察看,但见石柱上的雕刻更是精致,心中忍不住赞叹。他本身就是雕刻行家,自然识得其中的精雕细作。他举着强光手电往上照去,石柱高达五米左右,却没有竖到顶端,显然不是承重作用,只是装饰物品。
“And remember, don't touch anything here, for heaven's sake.(记住了,千万千万不要乱碰这里的一切东西。)”萧问天说着,沿着一根石柱绕了两圈,又蹲下去细看了一番;然后再转过另一边的石柱下,也如此这般细细查看。
高晓飞、凯丽和安娜都不懂这种古建筑的构造,而且还是古印度遗迹,又听得萧问天说不准乱碰东西,就只好默默地跟着他。
“The boss! Shall we go inside the tomb and have a look?(老大!我们要不要进古墓去看一看?)”高晓飞忍不住出声问道。
萧问天用手电照了照周围的环境,看了看安娜,用英文说道:“The way out was already blocked, and it was evident that we could not get out of the cave we had entered, and that, if we did, we could not escape the killer crab and the giant eagle and the serpent, so we had to try to find our way through the tomb.(出路已经被封死了,我们进来的洞穴显然也出不去,而且,就算是出去了,也逃不过杀人蟹和巨鹰、毒蛇的追杀,所以,只能是试着从古墓中寻找出路了。)”
安娜疑惑地问:“The boss! Is there a way out of the tomb?(老大!古墓中会有出路吗?)”
萧问天摇了摇头:“B: I don't know, but we'll give it a try. It's better than waiting for nothing.(不知道,但我们总要试一试,总比坐以待毙得好。)”
凯丽道:“Is there a secret device in the tomb?(那古墓中会不会有机关暗器?)”
萧问天道:“The organ secret device will certainly have, and is step by step crisis, we should step by step on the guard, there are, we are just looking for a way out, and not tomb robbing, so, do not put the treasure in the tomb is already, more do not touch any articles in the tomb.(机关暗器肯定会有,而且是步步危机,我们更要步步提防;还有,我们只是寻找出路,而并不是盗墓,所以,千万不要把墓室里的宝物据为己有,更不要乱碰墓室中任何的物品。)”他又一次重点叮嘱。
三人点了点头,问道:“But how can we open the tomb door?(可我们怎么才能打开墓门?)”
萧问天又在石柱旁蹲了下去,用强光手电照着石柱的边沿,说道:“The thickness of the stone door is not less than 30 centimeters, not human can shake, if not in the normal way to open, it will be affected by the attack of the hidden device, so the door must be set up to start the device, but around the stone door I have carefully checked, and there is no open mechanism.(石门的厚度不少于三十厘米,非人力所能撼动,如果不按正常的方法打开,肯定就会受到机关暗器的袭击,所以,大门肯定是设了启动装置,但石门的周围我都仔细检查过了,并没有开启的机关。)”说着,他拔出军刀,用刀把在石柱边沿的石板上敲了敲,发出了一声声沉闷的响声。
“Activate the machine!(启动机关!)”高晓飞、凯丽和安娜一齐惊叹。
萧问天用军刀沿着石板的缝隙一划拉,把军刀顺着缝隙插了下去,但缝隙太过细小,刀尖插进去并不深,他试着撬了一下,却无法撬动。
凯丽拔出军刀,也跟着一齐去撬石板,但还是撬不动。
“Together.(一起来。)”安娜说了一声,和高晓飞一齐过来帮忙。
四把军刀从一面插入石板缝隙,一起齐慢慢用力,一块宽约一米左右,一面割着弧形的正方形石板终于被撬了起来。
萧问天和凯丽同时用力,把石板移开,下面却出现了一幕不可思议的情景。石板之下,满满地平放着的,全部都是金光闪闪、铸着花纹图案的钱币,闪耀着诱人的金色光芒。
“Gold COINS? Oh god!(金币?噢上帝!)”安娜忍不住惊叹。
萧问天拿起一枚金币细看,说道:“Yes, it is a gold coin from the Mughal Dynasty of ancient India.(不错,这是古印度莫卧儿王朝的金币。)”他喜欢收藏,而且收藏额丰,当然认识这种古金币。而且古印度做为四大文明古国,很多遗留的古物都很有收藏价值,做为多元文化的生动体现,古代印度的货币体系风格别具,而且自始至终被打上宗教的印记。正因为印度古钱币十分独特,促使人们重新思考货币的起源。
世界上没有哪个地方的古代货币像印度那样复杂,不仅币材,还有铸币上的文字、图案、纪年、重量与币值,打制方法等各方面,都令人眼花缭乱。印度古币的材质不仅有金银铜,也有少量锡铅等金属,这在其它地方十分罕见。
高晓飞问道:“The Mughals of ancient India, were they highly civilized?(古印度莫卧儿王朝,他们当时的文明度很高吗?)”
“The Mughal dynasty was once more prosperous than China's Ming dynasty.(莫卧儿王朝曾经一度比中国的明朝还要鼎盛。)”萧问天注视着银币,点了点头,“The Mughal Dynasty had a total of 17 generations of monarchs. The first six ruled for 181 years, and the whole India reached its peak, with vast territory, powerful and prosperous.But in the one hundred and fifty years of the eleven emperors ruled, empire by turn tide, in the later period, because of the courtier authoritarian, left and right sides, control the sovereignty, any waste, led to a needless, foreign invasion, the overseers to self-reliance, split out hundreds of all, land independence, from ChaoGang, imperial collapse slowly, finally to destruction,In 1857, it was sent to the Museum of History by the British.(莫卧儿王朝一共经历十七代君主,在前六位统治的一百八十一年,整个印度达到鼎盛的巅峰,国土辽阔,强大繁荣。但在后十一位皇帝统治的一百五十年里,帝国由盛转衰。在中后期,由于朝臣专权、左右朝政、驾驭君权、任意废立,导致了天下大乱,外敌入侵不断,各督纷纷自立,分裂出几百个土邦王公,拥兵自立、脱离朝纲,帝国慢慢崩溃,最终走向毁灭,于1857年被英国人送入了历史的博物馆。)”
众人动起手来,把沿石柱一周的石板都撬了起来,但见绕石柱一周埋藏的,全部都是金光闪闪的金币,光芒四射,诱人万千。
“Oh my god! What a lot of gold coins! Isn't that an invitation to commit a crime?(天哪!这么多的金币啊!这不是成心诱人犯罪吗?)”高晓飞两眼盯着金币唉声叹气。
“Is it the same over there, under the post?(那边柱子下面,是不是也一样?)”凯丽忽然问道。
“There are silver coins, gold on the left and silver on the right. This is a funeral custom of the ancient Indian royal family, but only the royal family could have such a scale.(那边是银币,左金右银,这是古印度皇家的一种殡葬习俗,但只有皇族,才会有如此规模。)”萧问天看着右边的柱子说。
“The boss! Shall we pry up that side, too?(老大!要不要把那边也撬起来?)”安娜问道。
“No, let's remove the gold coin on the right. First, is there a trigger under the pillar?(不用了,我们把右边的金币搬开,先看看柱子的下面是不是有启动机关?)”萧问天说着,双手把金币扒了出来。
四个人累得筋疲力尽,这才把一圈的金币都搬了上来,推成了几大堆,足足有十几麻袋的数量。但下面却空空如也,哪里又有什么启动机关?众人面面相觑,怔在当地。
“Oh my god!So many gold coins, we move out, two lives will not spend it!(天哪!这么多的金币,我们搬出去,两辈子都花不完!)”高晓飞看着一堆堆的金币两眼放光。
“Wake up, don't think nonsense, even if all give you, I'm afraid to die!(醒醒吧,别胡思乱想了,就算全部给你,恐怕没命花!)”凯丽拍了拍高晓飞的脸。
安娜不解地问道:“The boss!Aren't the common objects buried in the main chamber?But why did the tomb owner bury so many gold and silver coins on both sides of the tomb door?(老大!一般的陪葬品不都是陪葬在主墓室的吗?可这里的墓主人为什么会把这么多的金币银币埋在墓门两边呢?)”
萧问天解释道:“It was the custom of the ancient Indian royal family to bury the gold and silver outside the door of the tomb, in order to tell the tomb robbers that this was a gift for their arrival. They hoped that the thieves would stop stealing the main tomb and let them go.(这是古印度皇家的传统习俗,把金银埋在墓门之外,就是想要告诉那些盗墓贼,这是见面礼,希望盗墓贼拿了见面礼之后,就地收手放过他们,不再盗取主墓室了。)”
高晓飞听后,忍不住笑了起来:“This is the typical here without silver three hundred two, did not think of this India a three early learned!(这是典型的此地无银三百两,没想到这印度阿三早就学会了!)”
萧问天跳下石柱坑中,拿着强光手电仔细检查,终于在坑下对着石门的一侧发现了一块可以活动的石板。他用军刀把石板撬了起来,又小心谨慎地搬开,一个直径三十厘米左右的石圆盘出现在坑里。(未完待续)
