Self-Help Handbook of Strange Flowers to Die [Comprehensive]
Chapter 57 Unit 4
Seeing the eyeball fall to the ground, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, Shirley Yang and the three backed away slowly.At this time, Wang Kaixuan couldn't care about Yushi's eyeballs anymore.
There were more and more red bloodshots on the eyeball that fell on the ground, and there was a slight "puff" sound in the dim temple, and then the eyeball exploded with splashing mucus!
There could be hundreds of the strange black snakes they met just now, with sticky transparent liquid on their bodies, entangled and waking up, and they swam aggressively towards Hu Bayi and the others who were closest to them .
Hu Bayi quickly picked up the gun in his hand, and together with Wang Kaixuan, Shirley Yang, and Fang Yang, shot the black snake crawling over.But the targets of the snakes were too small, and there were too many of them. Even if they had guns in hand, those snakes kept approaching everyone.
"This kind of snake is afraid of strong light!" Shirley Yang had already confirmed the habit of this kind of snake when she rescued Hu Bayi before, and she shouted loudly amidst the sound of gunshots.
Hu Bayi immediately remembered what happened before, and yelled "Grenade" to Wang Kaixuan, and continued to use bursts to prevent the black snake from coming towards everyone.
Chen Jiuren held on to his trekking pole and gasped for breath.This time he didn't need to shout, Hao Aiguo spoke directly for him: "Be careful of ancient sites! Be careful of ancient sites!"
The place where the black snake came was the direction of the jade eyeball, and now Wang Kaixuan vainly buckled the eyeball on the stone pillar. Hao Aiguo was afraid that it would be scratched by the bullet, and his heart was so constricted that he could hardly breathe!
Fortunately, the grenade was thrown out by Wang Kaixuan soon, but his hands were smelly, so he threw the grenade on the stone beam on the temple and bounced back.If Hu Bayi hadn't hit it back with the butt of his gun, the last place where the grenade fell would be at the feet of the two professors.
When the black snakes were finally wiped out, Wang Kaixuan panted and talked to Ding Li: "Glasses, how many times has this happened to you? You are almost catching up with that old bastard An Liman. If you have something to do, please remind me." Hu, me and Lao Hu! If you are patronizing and dragging your classmate and professor to run, does cooperating with us matter in your heart?"
Ding Li smiled: "I'm not close to them."
"You can pull it down!" Wang Kaixuan wasn't really angry, but just changed the subject because of the embarrassment of throwing the grenade just now.
After yelling at Ding Li twice, he finally remembered the jade eyeball, and hurriedly stepped on the corpses of those black snakes to the altar, and was relieved to see that the jade eyeball was intact.
Ding Li and Fang Yang worked together, gathered all the black snake's corpses, and burned them with the solid fuel they brought, for fear that any fish would slip through the net.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Kaixuan didn't dare to let the jade eyeball continue to rest on the stone pillar.He put the eyeball back to its original position, and took off his jade pendant with his hands, and the eyeball miraculously never moved again.He was about to find another rope to put the jade pendant back around his neck, when the stone pillar holding his eyeball clicked and went up a bit.
"What are you doing again?" Hu Bayi heard the movement, turned around and saw the stone pillar rising.This place is really evil, it is better to take everyone away as soon as possible!If the fat man moved indiscriminately, and then touched some mechanism, it would be another disaster.
"I just put this thing back, nothing else was touched! Really!" Wang Kaixuan looked innocent.
Shirley Yang walked to the side of the stone pillar, looked at the elevated part of the stone pillar, and called Hu Bayi over: "Let's turn it together."
"Don't move around." Hu Bayi stopped Shirley Yang who was about to attack.
"Professor Chen said that there may be underground palaces and underground rivers here, maybe this is the key to finding them."
Hu Bayi didn't speak, and his eyes signaled Shirley Yang to look up.
The big red eyes just now have quieted down.Shirley Yang heard Hu Bayi beside her say, "What if it turns the other way around and makes this thing spit out an egg again? Wait a minute."
After speaking, he began to shine around the temple with a flashlight.
Ding Li is different from Hu Bayi, he does not use vision, but uses radar scanning, and the entire structure of the temple is in his mind.So he also discovered one step ahead of Hu Bayi that the arrangement of the stone pillars in this temple is very similar to the arrangement of sixteen dragons penetrating the ground, which coincides with the number of giant gates.
Sure enough, Hu Bayi glanced around, and told everyone his conjecture: "...some ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty were arranged with this kind of mechanism."
"So you found the agency?" Wang Kaixuan and Chen Jiuren said together.
"In this way, you take everyone back and stay away." Hu Bayi thought for a while, and let everyone stay away from the stone pillar, so as not to break it in case of any accident.
After everyone retreated a long distance, Hu Bayi turned his head and said to Xue Liyang who was still following him, "Do you believe me?"
Shirley Yang nodded concisely: "I believe."
"Then listen to me, clockwise and counterclockwise, no more at once, no less at once."
Shirley Yang nodded again.
Wang Kaixuan was far away, and couldn't hear what the two were saying, so he shouted under his throat: "Old Hu, be careful!" It wasn't that he didn't want to speak loudly, it was that his voice was so dry that he didn't dare to shout loudly. up.
The two spoke a few more words, and Hu Bayi said loudly to the people who had retreated far away: "Fatty, take everyone to hide behind the pillar. If you have any questions, run quickly, don't hesitate!"
"Crazy, crazy!" Wang Kaixuan was furious, his brother was going to do his best, but he was not by his side!It is said that we will live together and die together!But he still looked back at the crowd, "Hide behind the pillar!"
When everyone was well hidden, Hu Bayi and Xue Liyang turned the stone pillar in the order of one of the five steps of Shunyang, that is, five times clockwise and one counterclockwise.
After the last turn, several breaths later, there was a muffled sound, and a huge underground passage appeared on the ground.
After the dust cleared, the stairs of the cave were also revealed.Everyone came over, Chen Jiuren took a look at the authenticity, and excitedly said to Hu Bayi: "Little Hu, you have made great contributions to our research and investigation of Western Region culture!"
"Professor Chen, don't keep praising me!" Hu Bayi said with a smile.
Xue Liyang looked at Hu Bayi, "Old Hu, you are very powerful. How do you know how many times the stone pillar has to turn left and right?"
Hu Bayi sighed and explained: "The layout of the secret passages related to the sixteen dragons through the earth are all giant gate formations passed down from ancient times. The reason why they are called giant gates is because most of these organs are used in the passages of ancient roads. On the portal. And these spells are all evolved according to the number of Luo and the arrangement of stars in the sky."
Ding Li recalled the content in Hetu Luoshu in his mind, and found that it really matched here, so he couldn't help but nodded.Although he had read the transcript of the sixteen-character yin-yang feng shui secret technique, he was still a little unfamiliar and couldn't learn it and apply it immediately.But now that Hu Bayi explained the key point, he immediately understood.
Because they were in a hurry to replenish the water, everyone went down the tunnel together without further talking.The tunnel is made of stone, and most of the patterns on it are in the shape of eyes, showing Jingjue Kingdom's worship of eyes all the time.
The tunnel has an inclined angle, Hu Bayi walked in front, and Wang Kaixuan was sent to break the back.After walking a certain distance, Hu Bayi, who was walking in front, felt the moisture, which proved that Chen Jiuren's conjecture was correct, there was indeed an underground river here.
After going forward for a while, the oppressive environment in the underground made Chen Jiuren take the pill given by Ding Li again, and everyone finally heard the sound of water.
Wang Kaixuan saw that everyone was surprised, and felt that he was tired, so he didn't hear the sound of water, and he didn't talk back when Hu Bayi hurt him, and he muttered something.
Ding Li felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything.
When the flowing underground river finally appeared in front of everyone, Hu Ba took a look at the dumbfounded Wang Kaixuan: "You can't hear it, but you can see it now?"
"I saw it, I saw it!" Wang Kaixuan rushed to the side of the talk, picked up the water and poured it into his mouth.
Xue Liyang took out the salt and stirred it into the cup for Ye Yixin, who was already slightly dehydrated, before letting her drink it.
Seeing that there was no danger here, Hu Ba asked Ding Li and Fang Yang to fill the container with water, and led Wang Kaixuan, who was already full, to look around.
"What's the matter, why are you frowning all the time?" Fang Yang asked Ding Li in a low voice while drawing water.
Ding Li shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel something is wrong." But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Fang Yang saw Hao Aiguo, Chen Jiuren and Ye Yixin talking while drinking water, and leaned closer to Ding Li for a kiss: "It's okay, I'm here." Old man, Fang Yang still believes in Ding Li's intuition.Even if something happened, he was confident that he could protect his baby.As for the others, if he has the spare capacity, he can also help out.
After finding the groundwater, everyone was finally able to relax a little bit and rest.The naan that was brought out at the time of departure touched the water of the underground river, which was considered a meal.
After eating, Ding Li, Fang Yang and Hao Aiguo took samples nearby and made records.These records and samples will be handed over to more professional people for analysis after everyone returns to the capital, as an indicator for the next visit.
After resting, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also came back, apparently discovering something.Everyone walked out to the river bank on the right for about 3 minutes, and found a stone gate on the other side of the river.
The gate obviously uses the jack gate system, and under the gate is a pile of accumulated stones, replacing the jack to leave the lower half of the place.
This is someone who got there first.
The water in the Zidu Dark River is still quite deep, and the speed of the water flow seems to be gentle, but no one knows if there is a torrent underneath?And if something unexpected "small animal" or something like the dark river under the Kunlun Glacier comes, it will lose troops.
Hu Bayi didn't dare to let people enter the water casually, and looked around to see if there was any mechanism to cross the river.After finally finding the mechanism, looking back, Wang Kaixuan was already in the middle of the river!Angrily, he called the man back: This problem of being careless about the past and the future cannot be changed, can it?
Hu Bayi took a closer look, and he was sure that this was the stone mechanism he wanted to activate: "This is the same set, and it has been opened by someone."
Sure enough, someone had been here before them.Ding Li sighed, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Hu Bayi wasn't sure if there were any other agencies ahead, so he didn't dare to let everyone go forward together rashly.Wang Kaixuan wanted to follow, but in the end he was left behind to protect the professor and students, while Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi crossed the river together to explore the way.
Across the river, Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi were both within Ding Li's radar range, and he could clearly hear their conversation.From Hu Bayi's words, Ding Li knew that the stone gate was opened artificially, and the traces of explosives were at least decades old.This is very likely to be the work of Walt's expedition team again.
But the traces also showed that there may have been more than one group of people before and after, but there were no records of them.In other words, it is very likely that these people have never returned and stayed here forever, so there are no more records outside.
Shirley Yang's attitude is that she must go in and have a look. Ding Li also agrees with this point, walking 99 steps, not less than this trembling.But what Hu Bayi said is also true, if the Qianjin gate falls, everyone will be trapped here.
I don't know if they are sealed inside, will the explosives obtained from the stone tomb and the four dead foreigners be enough to open the way for everyone?
The two returned the same way and told everyone what they had discovered, but everyone firmly stated that they would go and have a look.Hu Bayi sighed: "Okay, then I will go in alone to have a look. If there is no problem, you all go in again. If I have been in for more than four or five hours and have not come out, you should not go in. Also Don't wait for me, just leave now."
"No." As soon as Hu Bayi finished speaking, Wang Kaixuan directly objected, "I'll go with you, so we can take care of each other."
"I can go alone. I have a big fate, you stay. In case something goes wrong, you have to be responsible for taking everyone out of this place!" When Hu Bayi said this, he really found something to do The feel of the battlefield.
Xue Liyang felt uncomfortable when she heard this, "Okay, don't say it so tragically, I will go with you." She had a guess in her heart, and she was worried that Hu Bayi would go in alone.
Hu Bayi didn't want to take someone with him. If he couldn't take care of him, he wouldn't be able to escape.But Shirley Yang was very firm, and finally decided to set off together.Shirley Yang took the rifle from Fang Yang's hand, checked the bullets, and reloaded them. Her skillful movements made Hu Bayi nod her head.
"Fatty, stay here and take care of everyone."
"No, why do all the work of the nursery aunt belong to me?" Wang Kaixuan is still not happy!
"Don't be picky, there is no distinction between high and low in revolutionary work!" Hu Bayi replied, and glanced at Ding Li and Fang Yang, "Satisfied, still nursery auntie? It doesn't matter who takes care of whom!"
Wang Kaixuan curled his lips: "No, you two have a tacit understanding, and you both say the same thing." Just now when Hu Bayi said that there are many people, it is difficult to get away, Shirley Yang replied with "I can't tell who will take care of whom". of.
"Fatty, stay calm." Shirley Yang glanced at Wang Kaixuan, then followed Hu Bayi to cross the river on the hidden bridge again.
Almost half an hour after the two of them left, Ding Li discovered that Wang Kaixuan fished out a gold coin from the river furtively. After seeing it clearly, he sneaked it into his pocket with a winking smile. I can't hold back my laughter.
Why is this person so interesting?
Chen Jiuren was probably also anxious, so he walked over to talk to Wang Kaixuan: "Why don't you go and have a look, we are not in any danger here."
Wang Kaixuan was also concerned about Hu Bayi's safety, so he readily agreed and went across the river to find someone.But just after he crossed the river, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang went through the Qianjin gate and turned back, just in time to meet Wang Kaixuan.
Seeing that the two of them had something to say, Shirley Yang went back to the opposite bank first.On the other side of the river, Wang Kaixuan took out the gold coin he found in the river with a smile on his face and showed it to Hu Bayi: "What do you think it is? Gold coin!" After asking and answering himself, he asked for praise, "I am here They didn’t even know they picked it up in the river!”
Ding Li: =_= I actually know.
However, Hu Bayi's attitude was a bit lukewarm, probably because he had said something to Shirley Yang inside.Sure enough, Hu Bayi said later that there were treasures inside, but the point was that Shirley Yang already suspected that the two of them were tomb robbers.
"It's impossible!" Wang Kaixuan felt that he and Lao Hu were watertight!How could Shirley Yang know?
Hu Bayi glared at Wang Kaixuan: "How is it impossible? How many times have you missed it? It means that Professor Chen and Professor Hao are relatively simple intellectuals, otherwise everyone would have to doubt us." Sa Xiaochu came back to Yuan Yuan, and after that, sometimes he changed the topic, and sometimes everyone's attention was diverted.In short, they seem to have exposed a lot of flaws along the way.
Wang Kaixuan felt a little guilty, but he still bit the bullet and excused himself: "Then why did she come here as an American? Can you guarantee that she didn't come here for these treasures? Tell you Hu, I think she should be sent by the United States." KGB!" The tone was firm.
On the other side of the river, Ding Li, who supported Shirley Yang to introduce the situation inside while paying attention to the conversation between Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, almost laughed out loud when he heard this sentence.
After the two returned, Chen Jiuren led everyone across the river, but they fell behind again.I don't know what kind of eyes Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi gave when they passed by, Wang Kaixuan was unhappy again, and pulled Hu Bayi: "Why do I think her eyes are not right when she sees you? Isn't it right? Are you interested? This is where it got stuck? "
Hu Bayi was amused by Wang Kaixuan: "I didn't see it, but you did? I think your eyes are wrong!" Seeing that Wang Kaixuan was in a hurry, Hu Bayi quickly added, "I'm not interested in her. , no one wants a woman who is too strong. Besides, I can’t bring an American girl home, can I?”
While talking about the mountains, the two followed everyone across the river, and then passed the Qianjin gate.
After walking for about ten minutes, walking along the tomb passage, everyone entered under a wide dome.Under the trestle bridge extending from the tomb passage, there is a deep pit for funerary objects more than 30 meters deep.After throwing down the cold firework stick, the pit full of gold coins and silverware could be seen at a glance, which made Ding Li, who has been used to riches and honors for several lifetimes, unavoidably feel excited.
Everyone went down the rope ladder to the bottom one by one, and there was a sound of metal collision when they moved their feet-all stepped on the gold coins!
Wang Kaixuan didn't know whether it was because he was too shocked to forget Hu Bayi's entrustment or some other reason. He could control himself at first, but when he separated from Hu Bayi, he immediately passed by with his eyes glaring. Putting a string of beads into the pocket of the leather jacket.
Chen Jiuren was amazed at the many shapes of utensils here, which he had never seen before. When he turned his head and saw Wang Kaixuan's movements, he immediately stopped sharply: "Xiao Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Kaixuan was also stunned by Chen Jiuren's shout, looking at the bead chain in his hand, he hesitated and didn't know how to explain: "I didn't want to take it! But I... I'm out of control... This, this..."
Hu Bayi couldn't hold back anymore, and wanted to speak angrily, but when he turned his head, he saw Xueli Yang's eyes.
"Brother Wang, put it down!" Ding Li sighed, and had a guess in his heart, but he was not sure.But he still went over, slapped Wang Kaixuan on the hand, took out an acupuncture needle by the way, and stuck it in Wang Kaixuan's palm holding the bead chain.
Wang Kaixuan let out a scream, and threw the bead chain directly: "You are too cruel for the glasses! I really don't want to take them!"
"I know." Ding Li nodded.
"Knowing that you still stab me?" Wang Kaixuan was wronged to death.He had already agreed to Lao Hu, so how could he go back on his word?It was really out of control just now!He thought guiltyly, maybe he was used to putting things in his pockets in the past?
Not only Hu Bayi was stunned, but also Hao Aiguo, Chen Jiuren and Ye Yixin were all stunned, they all looked at Ding Li with some confusion on their faces, only Shirley Yang remained cold-faced.
"Professor, I have an idea, but there is no proof yet." Ding Li felt that the funerary objects here were probably manipulated, as if they could infinitely magnify people's desires.It's just that he couldn't prove his conjecture.
"Xiao Sa, tell me." Hao Aiguo looked at Ding Li encouragingly, "It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, we can discuss it together!"
"Okay then." Ding Li glanced at Wang Kaixuan, pointing to the bead chain that had fallen on the gold coins, "Maybe there is some mechanism on the funerary objects here that can make people involuntarily take them for themselves. It’s actually not right to say that, it should be said that it can stimulate people’s desires.”
"Then why didn't the rest of us touch these funerary objects?" Shirley Yang still had a cold face, but the question was very sharp.
Ding Li pointed at Wang Kaixuan: "Because only Brother Wang likes money, or the current Brother Wang likes money."
"You mean, we don't like money?" Hu Bayi understood what Ding Li meant. Of all of them, Chen Jiuren and Hao Aiguo did it for scientific research; although he also loves money, he has no time now. Thinking about this, I just want to get out of this damn place quickly; Shirley Yang's reason is the most vague, but she probably didn't come for the treasure; the remaining three students came out to increase their qualifications and knowledge.In the end, there is only one Wang Kaixuan who is heartless and only wants to get rich all the time, isn't it just right?
In fact, Hu Bayi's idea is also a bit of an excuse for his brother.But since Ding Li has given an explanation, isn't it just right to go down the slope?
Shirley Yang looked suspiciously at Ding Li, then at the thoughtful Hu Bayi, but said nothing.
"Glasses... no, Xiao Sa, can you pull out this needle for me? My hand doesn't look like mine anymore!" Wang Kaixuan pitifully tugged at the camera that Ding Li was carrying on his side.
"Brother Wang, you should be careful! After the professors came down, they only had the shape, the age, and these things in their minds. Brother Hu was thinking about everyone's safety. That is, you didn't think about anything in your mind, and you got caught in the end. ! Next time, if you feel that you can’t control it anymore, before I have time to pierce you, you will give yourself two mouths.” Ding Li’s voice was quite loud at the beginning, and he said it for everyone to listen to, which can be regarded as an excuse for Wang Kaixuan.When it came to the last sentence, it was almost whispered in Wang Kaixuan's ear, it was a warning.
In the final analysis, this is because Wang Kaixuan's own willpower is not firm, otherwise why are others not like this?
Although Shirley Yang still had some doubts, she didn't say anything.She took a flashlight and looked around, and suddenly found that there was a passage at the end of the funeral pit, and there was a light at the end of the passage.
If there is bright light, it means that there is a light source, so this place should be connected to the outside world.Everyone put aside their plans to stay in the burial pit for a long time and went to the passage.
At the end of the passage is a stone platform, the hazy skylight shines from a high place above the head, and sinks into the bottomless huge crypt below.The crypt is as large as seven or eight standard playgrounds, and it makes people feel chills down their backs for no reason at a glance.
"Is this the ghost cave in the legend?" Ye Yixin said in amazement.
"What ghost cave?" Hu Bayi is not a major in archaeology, Ting Ye Yixin said, a little confused.
Hao Aiguo explained: "According to legend, the Jingjue Kingdom was formed by the Ghost Cave Clan. The reason why they are called the Ghost Cave Clan is because they guard a huge ghost cave."
"How deep is this ghost hole? Where does it go?" Fang Yang was also surprised, even he had never seen or even heard of it.Such a magical hole, unexpectedly encountered in this parallel world?
These words were probably the common question of everyone, Shirley Yang threw a cold firework stick down, but soon, the light of the cold firework stick was buried in the bottomless ghost hole.
Ding Li felt dizzy for a while, so he took a few steps back unconsciously, and supported the doorpost near the passage on the stone platform.Fang Yang hurried over to support Ding Li, but kicked Wang Kaixuan who was sitting down with his back leaning against the goal post and his legs were weak.
"Look, this is still a big living person!" Wang Kaixuan said in a trembling voice. When he looked up and saw Ding Li leaning against the doorpost with his head covered, he was amused, "Glasses, you are also afraid Come on! Come on, sit next to me, I'm also afraid of heights! It's okay, don't be ashamed!"
"Brother Wang, why weren't you afraid of heights when you were in the burial pit just now? It's more than 30 meters, maybe it's because there is no treasure right now!" Ding Li gave Wang Kaixuan a knowing blow.
"What's the matter?" Fang Yang saw that Ding Li still had the energy to argue with Wang Kaixuan. He looked fine, but he was still worried.
"The radar doesn't work anymore." Ding Li said in a low voice.
Fang Yang glanced at the dark ghost cave that swallowed up all the skylight on the top of the cave. Is it because of this thing?He held Ding Li's hand and was about to speak when he was interrupted.
It turned out that Shirley Yang saw a big stone pier on it, and everyone decided to go up and have a look.
"There's something on it." Ding Li said with Fang Yang's disapproving eyes, "I want to see it."
Along the mountain wall of the cave, there are obvious traces of artificially excavated passages.Everyone lined up, wandering upwards on the stone path that was only an arm's width away, and finally reached the stone pier above the ghost cave.
At the end of the stone pier, which is the center of the ghost cave, is a huge piece of wood, locked to the stone pier by many chains that look like metal.
"Why is there a big log on it?" Wang Kaixuan's voice became a little calmer.
"It should be Kunlun Shenmu." After thinking about it, Hu Bayi said, "My grandfather once said that the best material for a coffin is the heart of the gloomy wood. The Kunlun sacred tree is recorded in ancient books. Even if it is only a section, it will not dry up without soil, water and sunlight."
"It's amazing." Ding Li sighed sincerely.
"What's even more miraculous is that if the corpse is placed inside, it can be immortal for thousands of years." Hu Ba continued to Ding Li.
"Old Hu, according to your theory, the Queen Jingjue is likely to be inside this sacred tree!" Wang Kaixuan said while bending his waist and arching his legs, supporting the stone wall.
"Very likely." Hu Bayi said with certainty.
"It is said in ancient books that this tree is as old as Kunlun Mountain. Qin Shihuang wanted to find the Kunlun sacred tree as a coffin." Shirley Yang added Hu Bayi's statement.
The sacred tree that Qin Shihuang couldn't find was found by this exquisite queen. This queen is really not simple.Ding Li looked at Shi Dun and thought.
Everyone continued to move forward, because they were going up around the edge of the ghost hole, so after changing the angle, they found that there was another thing on the sacred tree, which was a colorful thing that seemed to be a tuber plant.
"What is that? It looks like a big taro. Could it be that the Queen Jingjue was planted as a seed in this kind of taro?" Wang Kaixuan probably thought that a poor mouth could alleviate his fear of heights, so he opened his mouth if it was unreliable. just come.
"Of course not, this should be the legendary corpse-flavored konjac!" Chen Jiuren has read a lot of internal information that is not easy to reveal to others. Looking at that sacred tree, that taro... konjac, his eyes are about to shine.
This is something only in legends!
"It is said that it is very dangerous when it blooms." Chen Jiuren recalled the information he had read.It's just that the information didn't say, how dangerous is it?
"Corpse-flavored konjac?" Wang Kaixuan repeated, "Isn't that still a taro?"
"It is said that this corpse-scented konjac grows in ancient tombs. It not only ensures that the corpse does not rot, but also makes the corpse emit fragrance. It is extremely precious." Chen Jiuren's enthusiasm for being a teacher came up, and he explained to Wang Kaixuan who didn't think so. .
When encountering something that is only found in legends, everyone is a little anxious and wants to find out.But Chen Jiuren stopped everyone with an extremely firm tone.For a long time, Chen Jiuren's enthusiasm, firmness and desire for exploration for this archaeology have been the strongest among all, but at this time he stopped everyone: "It is said that there are evil spirits in the konjac of corpse fragrance. Once it grows up, it will live People can no longer get close. It's too dangerous!"
At this time, Ye Yixin's flashlight passed the side of the stone pier: "Have you noticed that there are also ghost hole characters on this stone beam."
Hao Aiguo took a step forward and almost fell into the abyss of the ghost cave, which scared everyone into a cold sweat.But as for Hao Aiguo, the first sentence he opened his mouth was: "Teacher, I think the writing on the stone beam must be related to this ghost cave. It is very important information. I want to go up and copy it down!"
"What?" Ding Li finally realized how brave Professor Hao is at this moment!He even forgot to speak calmly, and directly burst out the dialect of his hometown in his first life.
In such a weird place, even he dare not act without authorization, how can Professor Hao be more fearless than him?
Chen Jiuren probably also wanted to record the writing on the stone beam, and after Hao Aiguo persisted for a few words, he agreed.Seeing that Hao Aiguo is about to go to Shiliang, Ding Li can't watch his teacher get so close to the big taro whose function is unknown!Gritting his teeth: "Professor, I'll go with you, the two of us can hurry up!"
"I'm going too, let's help, go and come back quickly." Fang Yang saw that the baby was going, so naturally he couldn't lag behind, and passed without any burden.
"Be careful!"
"be careful!"
"Must not get too close!"
Hu Bayi and the others told the three of them in a hurry, Hao Aiguo didn't know how much he listened to, no matter what others said, he nodded, and went up to the stone beam without any hesitation.
Ding Li followed Hao Aiguo to record the ghost cave writing on the stone beam.It was alright at the beginning, but after the middle of the stone beam, Hao Aiguo felt something was wrong.As if he saw something, he didn't care about the records of the ghost cave, and walked towards the coffin with a little staggering footsteps.
"Professor!" Ding Li went to hold Hao Aiguo back.But Hao Aiguo didn't know where the strength came from. Ding Li's pull didn't pull him, he continued to move towards the coffin, and soon dragged Ding Li and Fang Yang who hadn't reacted yet, across the stone beam. Mostly.
Ding Li used [-]% of his strength, which can be regarded as holding Hao Aiguo back.However, Hao Aiguo exploded with great strength after being limited in movement for a short period of time. His body, which was lacking in exercise, turned out to be extremely powerful at this time, and blue veins burst out from under the skin.He turned his head and smashed the flashlight in his hand at Fang Yang, who was walking beside Ding Li, with such force and speed that if Ding Li were an ordinary person, he might be thrown off the stone pier and fell into the ghost cave go!
Fang Yang stepped behind Hao Aiguo, squeezed Hao Aiguo's neck with a little force, and Hao Aiguo, who was still fierce, immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Ding Li hurriedly grabbed Hao Aiguo's arm with Fang Yang alone, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Little Chu and Xiao Sa are patriotic! Come back quickly!" everyone on the ring road shouted anxiously.
At this time, Ding Li and Fang Yang had their backs to the coffin. What they didn't know was that behind them, the Konjac Konjac, which was still lying on the Kunlun sacred tree, suddenly stood upright with a trembling flower stem.The petals, which were originally closed, slowly opened after the stem stood upright, revealing a little bit of strange fluorescent light under the light of the sky leaking from the top of the ghost cave.
Ding Li and Fang Yang looked back subconsciously, and saw that huge, flirtatious flower slowly swinging its breathtaking body on the Kunlun Shenmu, which made people's hearts flutter involuntarily.
"It's so fragrant!" Fang Yang looked at the blooming flowers and exclaimed, and let go of Hao Aiguo's hand.
Ding Li was the same, looking at the figure of the flower and smelling the fragrance of the flower, Hao Aiguo, who was originally held by Ding Li and Fang Yang, fell onto the stone beam with a "plop".
Ding Li took a few steps forward, and was about to touch the Kunlun Shenmu, but Fang Yang, who was behind him, came up, grabbed Ding Li's hand, and pierced his palm fiercely with his index finger.
The huge pain in the palm of his hand made Ding Li wake up with a start, and immediately realized that he had been confused just now.
"Baby, you scared me to death!" Fang Yang's voice was a little anxious and startled.He himself fell into it just now, but fortunately, the body-connected health monitoring system detected a mental abnormality and reminded him in time.
The position where the two people were standing was almost in the middle of the ghost cave. Ding Li seemed to have disappeared from the radar and returned after entering the range of the ghost cave.With a little anger, he swept the Shenmu and Konjac in front of him over and over again: he is hundreds of years old, and he has never suffered such a disadvantage!Just two half-dead things that led themselves into a ditch?Can't bear it!
But soon, he was surprised.The piece of Kunlun Shenmu in front of him is like a huge body of life energy, containing a very pure essence of life.
For example, if the life essence of Hu Bayi and other ordinary people is like a candle, then the Kunlun Shenmu in front of you is equivalent to a small sun.Even if a few corpse-fragrant konjacs are planted on it, this sacred tree can still ensure that these big taros will not die for thousands of years after they grow vigorously.
"Although this thing doesn't have intelligence, it's as good as half a ghost." Ding Li made some calculations, and whispered to the other party.
After saying this, Ding Li looked at the stone pier under his feet, and raised his eyebrows.Standing here, he is really curious about what the ghost hole is!Or... just try to see if you can see the bottom?
Ding Li has never tried how far his radar can scan, because scanning also takes energy
There were more and more red bloodshots on the eyeball that fell on the ground, and there was a slight "puff" sound in the dim temple, and then the eyeball exploded with splashing mucus!
There could be hundreds of the strange black snakes they met just now, with sticky transparent liquid on their bodies, entangled and waking up, and they swam aggressively towards Hu Bayi and the others who were closest to them .
Hu Bayi quickly picked up the gun in his hand, and together with Wang Kaixuan, Shirley Yang, and Fang Yang, shot the black snake crawling over.But the targets of the snakes were too small, and there were too many of them. Even if they had guns in hand, those snakes kept approaching everyone.
"This kind of snake is afraid of strong light!" Shirley Yang had already confirmed the habit of this kind of snake when she rescued Hu Bayi before, and she shouted loudly amidst the sound of gunshots.
Hu Bayi immediately remembered what happened before, and yelled "Grenade" to Wang Kaixuan, and continued to use bursts to prevent the black snake from coming towards everyone.
Chen Jiuren held on to his trekking pole and gasped for breath.This time he didn't need to shout, Hao Aiguo spoke directly for him: "Be careful of ancient sites! Be careful of ancient sites!"
The place where the black snake came was the direction of the jade eyeball, and now Wang Kaixuan vainly buckled the eyeball on the stone pillar. Hao Aiguo was afraid that it would be scratched by the bullet, and his heart was so constricted that he could hardly breathe!
Fortunately, the grenade was thrown out by Wang Kaixuan soon, but his hands were smelly, so he threw the grenade on the stone beam on the temple and bounced back.If Hu Bayi hadn't hit it back with the butt of his gun, the last place where the grenade fell would be at the feet of the two professors.
When the black snakes were finally wiped out, Wang Kaixuan panted and talked to Ding Li: "Glasses, how many times has this happened to you? You are almost catching up with that old bastard An Liman. If you have something to do, please remind me." Hu, me and Lao Hu! If you are patronizing and dragging your classmate and professor to run, does cooperating with us matter in your heart?"
Ding Li smiled: "I'm not close to them."
"You can pull it down!" Wang Kaixuan wasn't really angry, but just changed the subject because of the embarrassment of throwing the grenade just now.
After yelling at Ding Li twice, he finally remembered the jade eyeball, and hurriedly stepped on the corpses of those black snakes to the altar, and was relieved to see that the jade eyeball was intact.
Ding Li and Fang Yang worked together, gathered all the black snake's corpses, and burned them with the solid fuel they brought, for fear that any fish would slip through the net.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Kaixuan didn't dare to let the jade eyeball continue to rest on the stone pillar.He put the eyeball back to its original position, and took off his jade pendant with his hands, and the eyeball miraculously never moved again.He was about to find another rope to put the jade pendant back around his neck, when the stone pillar holding his eyeball clicked and went up a bit.
"What are you doing again?" Hu Bayi heard the movement, turned around and saw the stone pillar rising.This place is really evil, it is better to take everyone away as soon as possible!If the fat man moved indiscriminately, and then touched some mechanism, it would be another disaster.
"I just put this thing back, nothing else was touched! Really!" Wang Kaixuan looked innocent.
Shirley Yang walked to the side of the stone pillar, looked at the elevated part of the stone pillar, and called Hu Bayi over: "Let's turn it together."
"Don't move around." Hu Bayi stopped Shirley Yang who was about to attack.
"Professor Chen said that there may be underground palaces and underground rivers here, maybe this is the key to finding them."
Hu Bayi didn't speak, and his eyes signaled Shirley Yang to look up.
The big red eyes just now have quieted down.Shirley Yang heard Hu Bayi beside her say, "What if it turns the other way around and makes this thing spit out an egg again? Wait a minute."
After speaking, he began to shine around the temple with a flashlight.
Ding Li is different from Hu Bayi, he does not use vision, but uses radar scanning, and the entire structure of the temple is in his mind.So he also discovered one step ahead of Hu Bayi that the arrangement of the stone pillars in this temple is very similar to the arrangement of sixteen dragons penetrating the ground, which coincides with the number of giant gates.
Sure enough, Hu Bayi glanced around, and told everyone his conjecture: "...some ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty were arranged with this kind of mechanism."
"So you found the agency?" Wang Kaixuan and Chen Jiuren said together.
"In this way, you take everyone back and stay away." Hu Bayi thought for a while, and let everyone stay away from the stone pillar, so as not to break it in case of any accident.
After everyone retreated a long distance, Hu Bayi turned his head and said to Xue Liyang who was still following him, "Do you believe me?"
Shirley Yang nodded concisely: "I believe."
"Then listen to me, clockwise and counterclockwise, no more at once, no less at once."
Shirley Yang nodded again.
Wang Kaixuan was far away, and couldn't hear what the two were saying, so he shouted under his throat: "Old Hu, be careful!" It wasn't that he didn't want to speak loudly, it was that his voice was so dry that he didn't dare to shout loudly. up.
The two spoke a few more words, and Hu Bayi said loudly to the people who had retreated far away: "Fatty, take everyone to hide behind the pillar. If you have any questions, run quickly, don't hesitate!"
"Crazy, crazy!" Wang Kaixuan was furious, his brother was going to do his best, but he was not by his side!It is said that we will live together and die together!But he still looked back at the crowd, "Hide behind the pillar!"
When everyone was well hidden, Hu Bayi and Xue Liyang turned the stone pillar in the order of one of the five steps of Shunyang, that is, five times clockwise and one counterclockwise.
After the last turn, several breaths later, there was a muffled sound, and a huge underground passage appeared on the ground.
After the dust cleared, the stairs of the cave were also revealed.Everyone came over, Chen Jiuren took a look at the authenticity, and excitedly said to Hu Bayi: "Little Hu, you have made great contributions to our research and investigation of Western Region culture!"
"Professor Chen, don't keep praising me!" Hu Bayi said with a smile.
Xue Liyang looked at Hu Bayi, "Old Hu, you are very powerful. How do you know how many times the stone pillar has to turn left and right?"
Hu Bayi sighed and explained: "The layout of the secret passages related to the sixteen dragons through the earth are all giant gate formations passed down from ancient times. The reason why they are called giant gates is because most of these organs are used in the passages of ancient roads. On the portal. And these spells are all evolved according to the number of Luo and the arrangement of stars in the sky."
Ding Li recalled the content in Hetu Luoshu in his mind, and found that it really matched here, so he couldn't help but nodded.Although he had read the transcript of the sixteen-character yin-yang feng shui secret technique, he was still a little unfamiliar and couldn't learn it and apply it immediately.But now that Hu Bayi explained the key point, he immediately understood.
Because they were in a hurry to replenish the water, everyone went down the tunnel together without further talking.The tunnel is made of stone, and most of the patterns on it are in the shape of eyes, showing Jingjue Kingdom's worship of eyes all the time.
The tunnel has an inclined angle, Hu Bayi walked in front, and Wang Kaixuan was sent to break the back.After walking a certain distance, Hu Bayi, who was walking in front, felt the moisture, which proved that Chen Jiuren's conjecture was correct, there was indeed an underground river here.
After going forward for a while, the oppressive environment in the underground made Chen Jiuren take the pill given by Ding Li again, and everyone finally heard the sound of water.
Wang Kaixuan saw that everyone was surprised, and felt that he was tired, so he didn't hear the sound of water, and he didn't talk back when Hu Bayi hurt him, and he muttered something.
Ding Li felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything.
When the flowing underground river finally appeared in front of everyone, Hu Ba took a look at the dumbfounded Wang Kaixuan: "You can't hear it, but you can see it now?"
"I saw it, I saw it!" Wang Kaixuan rushed to the side of the talk, picked up the water and poured it into his mouth.
Xue Liyang took out the salt and stirred it into the cup for Ye Yixin, who was already slightly dehydrated, before letting her drink it.
Seeing that there was no danger here, Hu Ba asked Ding Li and Fang Yang to fill the container with water, and led Wang Kaixuan, who was already full, to look around.
"What's the matter, why are you frowning all the time?" Fang Yang asked Ding Li in a low voice while drawing water.
Ding Li shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel something is wrong." But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Fang Yang saw Hao Aiguo, Chen Jiuren and Ye Yixin talking while drinking water, and leaned closer to Ding Li for a kiss: "It's okay, I'm here." Old man, Fang Yang still believes in Ding Li's intuition.Even if something happened, he was confident that he could protect his baby.As for the others, if he has the spare capacity, he can also help out.
After finding the groundwater, everyone was finally able to relax a little bit and rest.The naan that was brought out at the time of departure touched the water of the underground river, which was considered a meal.
After eating, Ding Li, Fang Yang and Hao Aiguo took samples nearby and made records.These records and samples will be handed over to more professional people for analysis after everyone returns to the capital, as an indicator for the next visit.
After resting, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also came back, apparently discovering something.Everyone walked out to the river bank on the right for about 3 minutes, and found a stone gate on the other side of the river.
The gate obviously uses the jack gate system, and under the gate is a pile of accumulated stones, replacing the jack to leave the lower half of the place.
This is someone who got there first.
The water in the Zidu Dark River is still quite deep, and the speed of the water flow seems to be gentle, but no one knows if there is a torrent underneath?And if something unexpected "small animal" or something like the dark river under the Kunlun Glacier comes, it will lose troops.
Hu Bayi didn't dare to let people enter the water casually, and looked around to see if there was any mechanism to cross the river.After finally finding the mechanism, looking back, Wang Kaixuan was already in the middle of the river!Angrily, he called the man back: This problem of being careless about the past and the future cannot be changed, can it?
Hu Bayi took a closer look, and he was sure that this was the stone mechanism he wanted to activate: "This is the same set, and it has been opened by someone."
Sure enough, someone had been here before them.Ding Li sighed, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Hu Bayi wasn't sure if there were any other agencies ahead, so he didn't dare to let everyone go forward together rashly.Wang Kaixuan wanted to follow, but in the end he was left behind to protect the professor and students, while Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi crossed the river together to explore the way.
Across the river, Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi were both within Ding Li's radar range, and he could clearly hear their conversation.From Hu Bayi's words, Ding Li knew that the stone gate was opened artificially, and the traces of explosives were at least decades old.This is very likely to be the work of Walt's expedition team again.
But the traces also showed that there may have been more than one group of people before and after, but there were no records of them.In other words, it is very likely that these people have never returned and stayed here forever, so there are no more records outside.
Shirley Yang's attitude is that she must go in and have a look. Ding Li also agrees with this point, walking 99 steps, not less than this trembling.But what Hu Bayi said is also true, if the Qianjin gate falls, everyone will be trapped here.
I don't know if they are sealed inside, will the explosives obtained from the stone tomb and the four dead foreigners be enough to open the way for everyone?
The two returned the same way and told everyone what they had discovered, but everyone firmly stated that they would go and have a look.Hu Bayi sighed: "Okay, then I will go in alone to have a look. If there is no problem, you all go in again. If I have been in for more than four or five hours and have not come out, you should not go in. Also Don't wait for me, just leave now."
"No." As soon as Hu Bayi finished speaking, Wang Kaixuan directly objected, "I'll go with you, so we can take care of each other."
"I can go alone. I have a big fate, you stay. In case something goes wrong, you have to be responsible for taking everyone out of this place!" When Hu Bayi said this, he really found something to do The feel of the battlefield.
Xue Liyang felt uncomfortable when she heard this, "Okay, don't say it so tragically, I will go with you." She had a guess in her heart, and she was worried that Hu Bayi would go in alone.
Hu Bayi didn't want to take someone with him. If he couldn't take care of him, he wouldn't be able to escape.But Shirley Yang was very firm, and finally decided to set off together.Shirley Yang took the rifle from Fang Yang's hand, checked the bullets, and reloaded them. Her skillful movements made Hu Bayi nod her head.
"Fatty, stay here and take care of everyone."
"No, why do all the work of the nursery aunt belong to me?" Wang Kaixuan is still not happy!
"Don't be picky, there is no distinction between high and low in revolutionary work!" Hu Bayi replied, and glanced at Ding Li and Fang Yang, "Satisfied, still nursery auntie? It doesn't matter who takes care of whom!"
Wang Kaixuan curled his lips: "No, you two have a tacit understanding, and you both say the same thing." Just now when Hu Bayi said that there are many people, it is difficult to get away, Shirley Yang replied with "I can't tell who will take care of whom". of.
"Fatty, stay calm." Shirley Yang glanced at Wang Kaixuan, then followed Hu Bayi to cross the river on the hidden bridge again.
Almost half an hour after the two of them left, Ding Li discovered that Wang Kaixuan fished out a gold coin from the river furtively. After seeing it clearly, he sneaked it into his pocket with a winking smile. I can't hold back my laughter.
Why is this person so interesting?
Chen Jiuren was probably also anxious, so he walked over to talk to Wang Kaixuan: "Why don't you go and have a look, we are not in any danger here."
Wang Kaixuan was also concerned about Hu Bayi's safety, so he readily agreed and went across the river to find someone.But just after he crossed the river, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang went through the Qianjin gate and turned back, just in time to meet Wang Kaixuan.
Seeing that the two of them had something to say, Shirley Yang went back to the opposite bank first.On the other side of the river, Wang Kaixuan took out the gold coin he found in the river with a smile on his face and showed it to Hu Bayi: "What do you think it is? Gold coin!" After asking and answering himself, he asked for praise, "I am here They didn’t even know they picked it up in the river!”
Ding Li: =_= I actually know.
However, Hu Bayi's attitude was a bit lukewarm, probably because he had said something to Shirley Yang inside.Sure enough, Hu Bayi said later that there were treasures inside, but the point was that Shirley Yang already suspected that the two of them were tomb robbers.
"It's impossible!" Wang Kaixuan felt that he and Lao Hu were watertight!How could Shirley Yang know?
Hu Bayi glared at Wang Kaixuan: "How is it impossible? How many times have you missed it? It means that Professor Chen and Professor Hao are relatively simple intellectuals, otherwise everyone would have to doubt us." Sa Xiaochu came back to Yuan Yuan, and after that, sometimes he changed the topic, and sometimes everyone's attention was diverted.In short, they seem to have exposed a lot of flaws along the way.
Wang Kaixuan felt a little guilty, but he still bit the bullet and excused himself: "Then why did she come here as an American? Can you guarantee that she didn't come here for these treasures? Tell you Hu, I think she should be sent by the United States." KGB!" The tone was firm.
On the other side of the river, Ding Li, who supported Shirley Yang to introduce the situation inside while paying attention to the conversation between Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, almost laughed out loud when he heard this sentence.
After the two returned, Chen Jiuren led everyone across the river, but they fell behind again.I don't know what kind of eyes Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi gave when they passed by, Wang Kaixuan was unhappy again, and pulled Hu Bayi: "Why do I think her eyes are not right when she sees you? Isn't it right? Are you interested? This is where it got stuck? "
Hu Bayi was amused by Wang Kaixuan: "I didn't see it, but you did? I think your eyes are wrong!" Seeing that Wang Kaixuan was in a hurry, Hu Bayi quickly added, "I'm not interested in her. , no one wants a woman who is too strong. Besides, I can’t bring an American girl home, can I?”
While talking about the mountains, the two followed everyone across the river, and then passed the Qianjin gate.
After walking for about ten minutes, walking along the tomb passage, everyone entered under a wide dome.Under the trestle bridge extending from the tomb passage, there is a deep pit for funerary objects more than 30 meters deep.After throwing down the cold firework stick, the pit full of gold coins and silverware could be seen at a glance, which made Ding Li, who has been used to riches and honors for several lifetimes, unavoidably feel excited.
Everyone went down the rope ladder to the bottom one by one, and there was a sound of metal collision when they moved their feet-all stepped on the gold coins!
Wang Kaixuan didn't know whether it was because he was too shocked to forget Hu Bayi's entrustment or some other reason. He could control himself at first, but when he separated from Hu Bayi, he immediately passed by with his eyes glaring. Putting a string of beads into the pocket of the leather jacket.
Chen Jiuren was amazed at the many shapes of utensils here, which he had never seen before. When he turned his head and saw Wang Kaixuan's movements, he immediately stopped sharply: "Xiao Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Kaixuan was also stunned by Chen Jiuren's shout, looking at the bead chain in his hand, he hesitated and didn't know how to explain: "I didn't want to take it! But I... I'm out of control... This, this..."
Hu Bayi couldn't hold back anymore, and wanted to speak angrily, but when he turned his head, he saw Xueli Yang's eyes.
"Brother Wang, put it down!" Ding Li sighed, and had a guess in his heart, but he was not sure.But he still went over, slapped Wang Kaixuan on the hand, took out an acupuncture needle by the way, and stuck it in Wang Kaixuan's palm holding the bead chain.
Wang Kaixuan let out a scream, and threw the bead chain directly: "You are too cruel for the glasses! I really don't want to take them!"
"I know." Ding Li nodded.
"Knowing that you still stab me?" Wang Kaixuan was wronged to death.He had already agreed to Lao Hu, so how could he go back on his word?It was really out of control just now!He thought guiltyly, maybe he was used to putting things in his pockets in the past?
Not only Hu Bayi was stunned, but also Hao Aiguo, Chen Jiuren and Ye Yixin were all stunned, they all looked at Ding Li with some confusion on their faces, only Shirley Yang remained cold-faced.
"Professor, I have an idea, but there is no proof yet." Ding Li felt that the funerary objects here were probably manipulated, as if they could infinitely magnify people's desires.It's just that he couldn't prove his conjecture.
"Xiao Sa, tell me." Hao Aiguo looked at Ding Li encouragingly, "It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, we can discuss it together!"
"Okay then." Ding Li glanced at Wang Kaixuan, pointing to the bead chain that had fallen on the gold coins, "Maybe there is some mechanism on the funerary objects here that can make people involuntarily take them for themselves. It’s actually not right to say that, it should be said that it can stimulate people’s desires.”
"Then why didn't the rest of us touch these funerary objects?" Shirley Yang still had a cold face, but the question was very sharp.
Ding Li pointed at Wang Kaixuan: "Because only Brother Wang likes money, or the current Brother Wang likes money."
"You mean, we don't like money?" Hu Bayi understood what Ding Li meant. Of all of them, Chen Jiuren and Hao Aiguo did it for scientific research; although he also loves money, he has no time now. Thinking about this, I just want to get out of this damn place quickly; Shirley Yang's reason is the most vague, but she probably didn't come for the treasure; the remaining three students came out to increase their qualifications and knowledge.In the end, there is only one Wang Kaixuan who is heartless and only wants to get rich all the time, isn't it just right?
In fact, Hu Bayi's idea is also a bit of an excuse for his brother.But since Ding Li has given an explanation, isn't it just right to go down the slope?
Shirley Yang looked suspiciously at Ding Li, then at the thoughtful Hu Bayi, but said nothing.
"Glasses... no, Xiao Sa, can you pull out this needle for me? My hand doesn't look like mine anymore!" Wang Kaixuan pitifully tugged at the camera that Ding Li was carrying on his side.
"Brother Wang, you should be careful! After the professors came down, they only had the shape, the age, and these things in their minds. Brother Hu was thinking about everyone's safety. That is, you didn't think about anything in your mind, and you got caught in the end. ! Next time, if you feel that you can’t control it anymore, before I have time to pierce you, you will give yourself two mouths.” Ding Li’s voice was quite loud at the beginning, and he said it for everyone to listen to, which can be regarded as an excuse for Wang Kaixuan.When it came to the last sentence, it was almost whispered in Wang Kaixuan's ear, it was a warning.
In the final analysis, this is because Wang Kaixuan's own willpower is not firm, otherwise why are others not like this?
Although Shirley Yang still had some doubts, she didn't say anything.She took a flashlight and looked around, and suddenly found that there was a passage at the end of the funeral pit, and there was a light at the end of the passage.
If there is bright light, it means that there is a light source, so this place should be connected to the outside world.Everyone put aside their plans to stay in the burial pit for a long time and went to the passage.
At the end of the passage is a stone platform, the hazy skylight shines from a high place above the head, and sinks into the bottomless huge crypt below.The crypt is as large as seven or eight standard playgrounds, and it makes people feel chills down their backs for no reason at a glance.
"Is this the ghost cave in the legend?" Ye Yixin said in amazement.
"What ghost cave?" Hu Bayi is not a major in archaeology, Ting Ye Yixin said, a little confused.
Hao Aiguo explained: "According to legend, the Jingjue Kingdom was formed by the Ghost Cave Clan. The reason why they are called the Ghost Cave Clan is because they guard a huge ghost cave."
"How deep is this ghost hole? Where does it go?" Fang Yang was also surprised, even he had never seen or even heard of it.Such a magical hole, unexpectedly encountered in this parallel world?
These words were probably the common question of everyone, Shirley Yang threw a cold firework stick down, but soon, the light of the cold firework stick was buried in the bottomless ghost hole.
Ding Li felt dizzy for a while, so he took a few steps back unconsciously, and supported the doorpost near the passage on the stone platform.Fang Yang hurried over to support Ding Li, but kicked Wang Kaixuan who was sitting down with his back leaning against the goal post and his legs were weak.
"Look, this is still a big living person!" Wang Kaixuan said in a trembling voice. When he looked up and saw Ding Li leaning against the doorpost with his head covered, he was amused, "Glasses, you are also afraid Come on! Come on, sit next to me, I'm also afraid of heights! It's okay, don't be ashamed!"
"Brother Wang, why weren't you afraid of heights when you were in the burial pit just now? It's more than 30 meters, maybe it's because there is no treasure right now!" Ding Li gave Wang Kaixuan a knowing blow.
"What's the matter?" Fang Yang saw that Ding Li still had the energy to argue with Wang Kaixuan. He looked fine, but he was still worried.
"The radar doesn't work anymore." Ding Li said in a low voice.
Fang Yang glanced at the dark ghost cave that swallowed up all the skylight on the top of the cave. Is it because of this thing?He held Ding Li's hand and was about to speak when he was interrupted.
It turned out that Shirley Yang saw a big stone pier on it, and everyone decided to go up and have a look.
"There's something on it." Ding Li said with Fang Yang's disapproving eyes, "I want to see it."
Along the mountain wall of the cave, there are obvious traces of artificially excavated passages.Everyone lined up, wandering upwards on the stone path that was only an arm's width away, and finally reached the stone pier above the ghost cave.
At the end of the stone pier, which is the center of the ghost cave, is a huge piece of wood, locked to the stone pier by many chains that look like metal.
"Why is there a big log on it?" Wang Kaixuan's voice became a little calmer.
"It should be Kunlun Shenmu." After thinking about it, Hu Bayi said, "My grandfather once said that the best material for a coffin is the heart of the gloomy wood. The Kunlun sacred tree is recorded in ancient books. Even if it is only a section, it will not dry up without soil, water and sunlight."
"It's amazing." Ding Li sighed sincerely.
"What's even more miraculous is that if the corpse is placed inside, it can be immortal for thousands of years." Hu Ba continued to Ding Li.
"Old Hu, according to your theory, the Queen Jingjue is likely to be inside this sacred tree!" Wang Kaixuan said while bending his waist and arching his legs, supporting the stone wall.
"Very likely." Hu Bayi said with certainty.
"It is said in ancient books that this tree is as old as Kunlun Mountain. Qin Shihuang wanted to find the Kunlun sacred tree as a coffin." Shirley Yang added Hu Bayi's statement.
The sacred tree that Qin Shihuang couldn't find was found by this exquisite queen. This queen is really not simple.Ding Li looked at Shi Dun and thought.
Everyone continued to move forward, because they were going up around the edge of the ghost hole, so after changing the angle, they found that there was another thing on the sacred tree, which was a colorful thing that seemed to be a tuber plant.
"What is that? It looks like a big taro. Could it be that the Queen Jingjue was planted as a seed in this kind of taro?" Wang Kaixuan probably thought that a poor mouth could alleviate his fear of heights, so he opened his mouth if it was unreliable. just come.
"Of course not, this should be the legendary corpse-flavored konjac!" Chen Jiuren has read a lot of internal information that is not easy to reveal to others. Looking at that sacred tree, that taro... konjac, his eyes are about to shine.
This is something only in legends!
"It is said that it is very dangerous when it blooms." Chen Jiuren recalled the information he had read.It's just that the information didn't say, how dangerous is it?
"Corpse-flavored konjac?" Wang Kaixuan repeated, "Isn't that still a taro?"
"It is said that this corpse-scented konjac grows in ancient tombs. It not only ensures that the corpse does not rot, but also makes the corpse emit fragrance. It is extremely precious." Chen Jiuren's enthusiasm for being a teacher came up, and he explained to Wang Kaixuan who didn't think so. .
When encountering something that is only found in legends, everyone is a little anxious and wants to find out.But Chen Jiuren stopped everyone with an extremely firm tone.For a long time, Chen Jiuren's enthusiasm, firmness and desire for exploration for this archaeology have been the strongest among all, but at this time he stopped everyone: "It is said that there are evil spirits in the konjac of corpse fragrance. Once it grows up, it will live People can no longer get close. It's too dangerous!"
At this time, Ye Yixin's flashlight passed the side of the stone pier: "Have you noticed that there are also ghost hole characters on this stone beam."
Hao Aiguo took a step forward and almost fell into the abyss of the ghost cave, which scared everyone into a cold sweat.But as for Hao Aiguo, the first sentence he opened his mouth was: "Teacher, I think the writing on the stone beam must be related to this ghost cave. It is very important information. I want to go up and copy it down!"
"What?" Ding Li finally realized how brave Professor Hao is at this moment!He even forgot to speak calmly, and directly burst out the dialect of his hometown in his first life.
In such a weird place, even he dare not act without authorization, how can Professor Hao be more fearless than him?
Chen Jiuren probably also wanted to record the writing on the stone beam, and after Hao Aiguo persisted for a few words, he agreed.Seeing that Hao Aiguo is about to go to Shiliang, Ding Li can't watch his teacher get so close to the big taro whose function is unknown!Gritting his teeth: "Professor, I'll go with you, the two of us can hurry up!"
"I'm going too, let's help, go and come back quickly." Fang Yang saw that the baby was going, so naturally he couldn't lag behind, and passed without any burden.
"Be careful!"
"be careful!"
"Must not get too close!"
Hu Bayi and the others told the three of them in a hurry, Hao Aiguo didn't know how much he listened to, no matter what others said, he nodded, and went up to the stone beam without any hesitation.
Ding Li followed Hao Aiguo to record the ghost cave writing on the stone beam.It was alright at the beginning, but after the middle of the stone beam, Hao Aiguo felt something was wrong.As if he saw something, he didn't care about the records of the ghost cave, and walked towards the coffin with a little staggering footsteps.
"Professor!" Ding Li went to hold Hao Aiguo back.But Hao Aiguo didn't know where the strength came from. Ding Li's pull didn't pull him, he continued to move towards the coffin, and soon dragged Ding Li and Fang Yang who hadn't reacted yet, across the stone beam. Mostly.
Ding Li used [-]% of his strength, which can be regarded as holding Hao Aiguo back.However, Hao Aiguo exploded with great strength after being limited in movement for a short period of time. His body, which was lacking in exercise, turned out to be extremely powerful at this time, and blue veins burst out from under the skin.He turned his head and smashed the flashlight in his hand at Fang Yang, who was walking beside Ding Li, with such force and speed that if Ding Li were an ordinary person, he might be thrown off the stone pier and fell into the ghost cave go!
Fang Yang stepped behind Hao Aiguo, squeezed Hao Aiguo's neck with a little force, and Hao Aiguo, who was still fierce, immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Ding Li hurriedly grabbed Hao Aiguo's arm with Fang Yang alone, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Little Chu and Xiao Sa are patriotic! Come back quickly!" everyone on the ring road shouted anxiously.
At this time, Ding Li and Fang Yang had their backs to the coffin. What they didn't know was that behind them, the Konjac Konjac, which was still lying on the Kunlun sacred tree, suddenly stood upright with a trembling flower stem.The petals, which were originally closed, slowly opened after the stem stood upright, revealing a little bit of strange fluorescent light under the light of the sky leaking from the top of the ghost cave.
Ding Li and Fang Yang looked back subconsciously, and saw that huge, flirtatious flower slowly swinging its breathtaking body on the Kunlun Shenmu, which made people's hearts flutter involuntarily.
"It's so fragrant!" Fang Yang looked at the blooming flowers and exclaimed, and let go of Hao Aiguo's hand.
Ding Li was the same, looking at the figure of the flower and smelling the fragrance of the flower, Hao Aiguo, who was originally held by Ding Li and Fang Yang, fell onto the stone beam with a "plop".
Ding Li took a few steps forward, and was about to touch the Kunlun Shenmu, but Fang Yang, who was behind him, came up, grabbed Ding Li's hand, and pierced his palm fiercely with his index finger.
The huge pain in the palm of his hand made Ding Li wake up with a start, and immediately realized that he had been confused just now.
"Baby, you scared me to death!" Fang Yang's voice was a little anxious and startled.He himself fell into it just now, but fortunately, the body-connected health monitoring system detected a mental abnormality and reminded him in time.
The position where the two people were standing was almost in the middle of the ghost cave. Ding Li seemed to have disappeared from the radar and returned after entering the range of the ghost cave.With a little anger, he swept the Shenmu and Konjac in front of him over and over again: he is hundreds of years old, and he has never suffered such a disadvantage!Just two half-dead things that led themselves into a ditch?Can't bear it!
But soon, he was surprised.The piece of Kunlun Shenmu in front of him is like a huge body of life energy, containing a very pure essence of life.
For example, if the life essence of Hu Bayi and other ordinary people is like a candle, then the Kunlun Shenmu in front of you is equivalent to a small sun.Even if a few corpse-fragrant konjacs are planted on it, this sacred tree can still ensure that these big taros will not die for thousands of years after they grow vigorously.
"Although this thing doesn't have intelligence, it's as good as half a ghost." Ding Li made some calculations, and whispered to the other party.
After saying this, Ding Li looked at the stone pier under his feet, and raised his eyebrows.Standing here, he is really curious about what the ghost hole is!Or... just try to see if you can see the bottom?
Ding Li has never tried how far his radar can scan, because scanning also takes energy
