"Do you think this is the imaginary number space? We saw it in the tomb of Prince Gumo, the space where Queen Jingjue went after her people disappeared."
Hu Bayi threw down the fireworks stick and said hesitantly as he watched the fireworks disappear in the ghost cave.
"Imaginary number space really exists?" Wang Kaixuan, who was afraid of heights, sat on the ground and wondered: "Isn't that what feudal superstition is used to fool the working people?"
"Fat man, the world is so big and there are many unexplainable things!" Hu Bayi said with a smile: "You forgot, we have an unscientific one here."
Sa Di Peng asked: "Brother Hu, who is not scientific?"
"Ah! That..." Hu Bayi heard this and glanced at Zhang Lin, who was silent on the side. He hesitated a little, not knowing how to tell them about Zhang Lin. After all, these archaeologists were all staunch atheists.
At this time, Shirley Yang glanced at Hu Badi and said, "Lao Hu, hold me!"
Hearing this, Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang in confusion, why are you pulling you so hard? So he hesitated and said: "You..."
Shirley Yang walked to the edge of the ghost cave, stretched out her hand to Hu Bayi and said, "I feel something is up there, please hold me, I want to take a look."
"You don't want your life!" Wang Kaixuan said anxiously when he saw that Shirley Yang was being held by Hu Bayi's hand and half of her body was in the ghost cave.
"What did you see?" After a while, Hu Bayi pulled Shirley Yang back and asked.
Shirley Yang shook her head and said: "I didn't see clearly. I only vaguely saw a huge stone beam on top, and there was something on the stone beam."
"If you can't see clearly, why don't you just look up?" The fat man sitting on the ground said, "There is a road here, and there is a road here."
Everyone heard that and looked in the direction the fat man was pointing, there was indeed a small road. Due to its age, it was not clear whether it was artificially dug or formed naturally.
The path, which is about two people wide, spirals upward along the mountain wall. It must have been excavated by experts to reach the big stone beam that Shirley Yang saw above.
When Professor Chen saw that there was a path, he moved forward first. Hu Bayi was so frightened that he hurriedly supported him and went up together.
When several people walked to the opposite side of the stone beam and could roughly see the place on the stone beam, Wang Kaixuan asked doubtfully: "Then why is there a big piece of wood bolted to it?"
Hu Badi said: "That should be the Kunlun sacred tree!"
Wang Kaixuan asked: "What?"
Seeing everyone's confusion, Hu Bayi explained: "My grandfather once said that the best material for a coffin is the tree cellar of dark wood, but there is also a top-quality sacred wood material, which is the Kunlun sacred tree.
Even if it is only a section, it will not dry up without sunlight, water and soil."
Chu Jian was surprised: "There is such a magical wood in the world!"
Hu Badi said: "What's even more amazing is that if a corpse is placed inside, it can be immortal for thousands of years."
Wang Kaixuan said: "Old Hu, according to what you said, Queen Jingjue is most likely in the Kunlun sacred tree above!"
Hu Ba nodded and said: "It's very possible!"
Shirley Yang looked at the Kunlun sacred tree and said: "There are records in ancient books that this kind of Kunlun sacred tree is as old as Kunlun Mountain. Back then, Qin Shihuang wanted to find this kind of sacred tree to make his coffin."
When Wang Kaixuan heard that Qin Shihuang was looking for this piece of wood, his eyes lit up and he said, "Isn't this piece of wood more valuable than all the coffins?"
Hu Bayi glanced at Fatty Wang angrily. Shirley Yang looked at the scene that was exactly the same as in her dream and walked forward directly.
As they walked, they got closer to the stone beam and could see it more clearly. Sa Di Peng said: "Hey, look, that sacred tree looks like something of mine."
When everyone saw it, they all stopped and looked at it. They were immediately attracted by the thing. Suddenly everyone heard the stone rolling down. Chu Jian quickly pulled back Professor Chen who was teetering on the edge of the ghost cave.
"You guys are really watching him, it scares me so much that my heart almost jumps out of my chest!"
Wang Kaixuan, who was afraid of heights, looked at the three of them angrily. Professor Chen said: "It's okay, I was just looking up and didn't pay attention to my feet." Then he asked: "Look, what is on that sacred tree?"
Hu Bayi was a little unsure and said: "It looks like a big taro."
Wang Kaixuan smiled and said: "Could it be that Queen Jingjue was planted as a seed and a big taro was grown?"
When Professor Chen heard it sounded like taro, he shook his head and said: "Of course not, it should be the legendary corpse-scented konjac. It is said that it is very dangerous when it blooms. I never thought that such a thing really exists in this world."
"Corpse-scented konjac?" Wang Kaixuan thought for a while: "Isn't that still a taro?"
Professor Chen said: "It is said that the corpse-scented konjac only grows in this ancient tomb. It not only prevents the corpse from decaying, but also makes the corpse emit fragrance, which is extremely precious."
Hu Bayi smiled and said: "It is quite magical to have these two things serving Queen Jingjue here."
Wang Kaixuan asked Hu Badi: "Old Hu, you said that since we are all here, we have narrowly escaped death. We must go up and have a look."
When Professor Chen heard this, he stopped Wang Kaixuan and said: "You can't go there." Seeing everyone's confusion, Professor Chen explained: "You must not go there easily. It is said that there are evil spirits in the corpse-scented konjac. Once it grows, no living person can go near it."
Already."
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. At this time, Hu Bayi shined a flashlight on several people and asked anxiously: "Where is Zhang Lin?"
"Hey!" When several people saw that Zhang Lin was not there, Wang Kaixuan scolded: "Where has this grandson gone?"
Hu Bayi frowned and asked Wang Kaixuan: "Didn't you cut off the queen? Didn't you see it from behind?"
Wang Kaixuan said: "Old Hu, don't you know how afraid of heights I am? I was very nervous when I came here. I didn't pay attention to which of you left first. I thought he was in front."
"I've been at the front!" Shirley Yang shined her flashlight on the unobstructed road ahead: "And this road leads directly to the Queen's coffin on the stone beam. There is nowhere to hide. He probably didn't follow."
Sa Di Peng said: "What should we do? Should we go back to find him?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Wang Kaixuan pulled Hu Bayi aside and whispered: "Old Hu, in my opinion, if that kid didn't follow, he must have gone to get the treasure."
"Fat man!" Hu Badi said, "He just didn't come up. Don't make random suspicions. Besides, how many times has he saved us along the way? You have to believe him."
"Come on!" Wang Kaixuan said with a pout, "Don't you see who introduced him, Big Gold Tooth.
And what is the big gold tooth for? After all, he is traveling with us, so I am sure that he must have gone to get the treasure. And you see, Professor Chen said that there is a corpse on the coffin of Queen Jingjue.
The fragrant konjac cannot be approached by living people.
And there is no way ahead, so why not just go back, take a few treasures with us, and then we will go back home."
Hu Bayi thought about Wang Kaixuan's words. Although he felt that Zhang Lin did not come up, it was not necessarily to get the treasure, but he did not know Zhang Lin at all and did not dare to confirm.
And Fatty Wang was right, Queen Jingjue's coffin was guarded by the corpse-scented konjac, and there was no way forward, so it was better to just go back home.
Anyway, they brought Shirley Yang to the desert and found the ancient city of Jingjue. The mission was successfully completed.
With this thought in mind, Hu Bayi approached Shirley Yang and said, "Miss Yang, you saw on the stone beam that we have almost wandered around this exquisite ancient city.
Now there is no way forward, otherwise we should go back!"
Shirley Yang shook her head and said, "No, I have to go up!"
"Professor Chen has said it." Hu Bayi said anxiously: "There are evil spirits in the corpse-scented konjac. Once it grows, no living person can approach it. It is too dangerous."
Shirley Yang looked at Hu Badi stubbornly: "Do you still remember the dream I told you? The scene in that dream was exactly the same as here, so no matter how dangerous it is, I will go!"
Hu Bayi frowned and said, "Is your dream really the same as this one? Have you never been to that coffin?"
Shirley Yang nodded and said, "That's right, so I have to go up and figure it all out."
Hu Bayi thought about it and said, "Then I'll go with you. If there's any danger, it's better to have someone to take care of you!"
Shirley Yang smiled when she heard this and said, "Thank you!"
"What are we talking about?" Hu Badi said, "I'm afraid that something might happen to you when you go up there, and the 40,000 US dollars that Fatty and I will lose."
Shirley Yang said: "Don't worry, I won't miss you even one point when I go back!"
The two of them were about to go up the stone beam. Wang Kaixuan hurriedly stopped Hu Ba and said, "Lao Hu, what's going on with you? Didn't I ask you to persuade Shirley Yang to go back? Why are you still going to get ready with her?"
"
Hu Bayi held down the fat man and explained: "Shirley Yang said that this place is the same as the dream she has always had, and she wanted to go up and have a look. I was afraid that she would have an accident and no one would pay our 40,000 US dollars, so I went with her.
, there is also a care."
While talking, Professor Chen and the others said, "You watch them here. If something goes wrong, run back."
"Hey, look, are the words carved on the stone beam the ghost cave characters?"
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were discussing when Chu Jian shined his flashlight on the stone wrapped in iron chains and asked.
When everyone heard this, they quickly took care of it and saw that the stone beam was indeed carved with ghost cave characters.
Seeing this, Sa Di Peng said: "Teacher, we want to go up and copy it and take it back for study, is that okay?"
"This..." Professor Chen hesitated upon hearing this.
At this time, Chu Jiandao said: "Teacher, these ancient cave inscriptions definitely contain important secret clues about Jingjue Kingdom and Queen Jingjue. Sa Dipeng and I will copy it back, take it back and translate it. We will definitely make important discoveries."
."
"Okay!" In the end, the major archaeological research findings overcame Professor Chen's fear of the corpse-scented konjac. Seeing that the ghost cave writings were far away from the corpse-scented konjac, he relaxed and said: "Then you should be careful. After copying,
Come down and don’t get close to the corpse-scented konjac.”
"Hey!" Upon hearing this, the two of them picked up their notebooks and ran up the stone beam before Hu Bayi had time to stop them.
"Professor Chen, you are too dangerous!" Hu Bayi, who had originally planned to go up with Shirley Yang, saw this and looked at Professor Chen with some displeasure.
After hearing this, Professor Chen comforted Hu Badi: "Those ancient cave inscriptions will be of great investigation value for us to uncover the veil of the ancient city. I have told them not to get close to the corpse-scented konjac."
Shirley Yang shook her head slightly at Hu Bayi and said, "Let's wait until they come down before going!"
