"You are brave and strong. If you are willing, you are welcome to join our archaeological research team. Our team is in need of talents like you!" Professor Zhang said as he looked at Gu Xiwen and sincerely extended his hand.
Hearing this, Gu Xiwen suddenly raised his head and looked at Professor Zhang. His lips moved but he did not make a sound.
He turned to look at me again with trembling lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hu Ling? I..."
"You all don't dislike me for being a black man, for being neither a human nor a ghost, or even for eating people's souls?" After a long time, Gu Xiwen finally controlled his emotions.
He looked at us and asked nervously.
I shook my head slightly at Gu Xiwen and said seriously: "No matter what you become, you are not allowed to hide from me anymore. You have to remember that we are friends and brothers and sisters for life!"
"Why would we dislike you? If I were you, I would have become so stupid! You are brave and smart, capable and loyal, and so handsome. From now on, you will be my idol.
!" Xu Wenying looked at Gu Xiwen like a nymphomaniac and said with her hands on her chin.
"Uh-huh-huh!" Qian Zhiqi stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Xu Wenying's eyes and said: "Don't be a nymphomaniac, scare my brother, go, go, go aside, I will talk to my brother
Talk about it!"
"Who is crazy? Believe it or not, I will beat you up! Luo Yue, let's go together!" Xu Wenying made a fierce look and asked Luo Yue to rush towards Qian Zhiqi together.
This journey has been tense and depressing for a long time, and perhaps only by playing without any scruples like a child at this moment can I completely relax.
In the past, Gu Xiwen and I often had fights like this.
Quietly watching Qian Zhiqi and Xu Wenying playing around, Gu Xiwen and I looked at each other and smiled lightly.
The old tacit understanding was rekindled at this moment, and the heavy atmosphere completely relaxed.
"Rabbit, I'm a little tired. Please lend me your shoulder. I want to have a good sleep!" Gu Xiwen said, looking at me with a smile.
I moved closer to him, put my arms around his shoulders, and let him rest his head on my shoulders.
Gu Xiwen let out a sigh of relief and quickly fell asleep. In his sleep, he still frowned slightly from time to time, and occasionally showed a slightly painful expression on his face, like a child who had a nightmare.
Qian Zhiqi and Xu Wenying stopped fighting and gradually became quiet.
Soon, everyone gathered around the fire and took a nap, leaning on each other, and slight snoring sounded in the quiet stone room.
I don't know when, I fell asleep in a daze, and heard Gu Xiwen standing behind me, with curved eyebrows and beautiful peach blossom eyes, shouting to me: "Rabbit, we are friends!"
I turned back to look at him and smiled: "We are friends now, and we will be friends forever!"
"Sister, wake up, the stone door is open, I will take you out!" Luo Yue's crisp and sweet voice rang in my ears.
I opened my eyes and was about to stand up when someone grabbed my arm tightly.
When I looked back, I saw that Gu Xiwen had his eyes tightly closed, his brows furrowed, and he was pulling me with an uneasy look on his face.
His deep dependence on me like a baby made me feel a sharp pain in my heart.
"Gu Xiwen, wake up!" I sat down again and patted his shoulder gently.
"Hu Ling!" Gu Xiwen frowned and shouted.
"I'm here! It's okay. It's all over. You will get better soon!" I whispered in his ear.
Gu Xiwen opened his eyes and looked around, with a cautious look on his face.
I pretended not to see it, turned my face and looked at Luo Yue, "Can we go out?"
"Well, I'll send you out right now, but Mr. Gu has to stay here for the time being and wait for the Tomb Soul Flower to bloom. When the soul worm on his body is resolved, I will go out with him to find you." Luo Yue said.
"Where is the Tomb Flower? Is it far from here?" I asked Luo Yue.
"It's not far away from the stone gate. You have to pass there when you go out! You will see it in a while." Luo Yue said with a smile.
While talking, Professor Zhang and others also woke up one after another.
After packing our luggage, Luo Yue took us onto the stone bridge.
This stone bridge looks unremarkable from a distance, and because Luo Yue said we had to wait, we had never seen this stone bridge up close before. When we got closer, we discovered that the stone bridge was actually made up of different shapes and sizes.
The stone slabs are connected with iron chains.
It can be seen from the gaps between the stone slabs that the iron chains connecting the stone slabs are also of different thicknesses.
The thick ones are as thick as a thumb, and the thin ones are only as big as a hair. The iron chains are crisscrossed and almost entangled together. It is completely impossible to tell which stone slab is connected to which iron chain.
"You all follow me. Your feet will land on whichever stone slab I step on. Otherwise, if you fall, I won't be able to save you." Luo Yue looked at us and said, with a pretty face.
Full of solemnity and solemnity.
"I never expected that there would be such an exquisitely crafted stone bridge in this place!" Professor Zhang stepped forward and took out a high-power magnifying glass from his backpack. He almost lay on the ground and carefully observed the stone slabs and the iron chains that seemed to be tangled under the stone slabs.
.
"Professor, is there anything special about this bridge?" Qian Zhiqi asked curiously, squatting down to observe the stone bridge.
"If I see it right, this is the legendary Tongxian Bridge!" Professor Zhang was so excited that his hands were trembling.
"Tongxian Bridge?" Qian Zhiqi repeated the name Professor Zhang said. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized it and looked at Professor Zhang in surprise, "You are talking about the kind of Tongxian Bridge mentioned in "Lu Ban Shu".
Immortal bridge? Does this kind of bridge really exist in the world?"
Professor Zhang nodded excitedly and turned to look at Luo Yue for confirmation, "It's the Tongxian Bridge. Miss Luo Yue, is what I said true or false?"
Luo Yue nodded and said, "This is indeed Tongxian Bridge."
"I'll go, I'm so prosperous now. If I take this photo, I can make a sensation in the entire archaeological world!" Qian Zhiqi said with a look of surprise on his face, took out his cell phone and started taking pictures like crazy.
While observing Tongxian Bridge, Professor Zhang shared science knowledge with us. The original meaning of Tongxian Bridge was the Bridge of Gathering Immortals. It was later used in the royal tombs, and various strange mechanisms were added to prevent tomb thieves from entering the royal tombs.
Tomb robbing also means that the tomb owner communicates with immortals and gathers other immortals. Legend has it that later, some emperors would order an artificial river to be built deep in the tomb, and a bridge to immortals be built on the river.
But after so many years of working in archaeology, Professor Zhang has never seen it. He only saw some phrases about Tongxian Bridge in some ancient books. Later, in an ancient tomb in the suburbs of Chang'an in western Hunan, Professor Zhang found another
I accidentally found a incomplete "Book of Lu Ban", which recorded Tongxian Bridge in more detail, but unfortunately there were no pictures.
Therefore, although Professor Zhang knew about the existence of Tongxian Bridge, he had no idea about the coincidence or the strangeness of Tongxian Bridge. This chapter has been completed!
