The shaking of the mountain at the foot lasted for no more than ten seconds and then stopped. Some rocks rolled down the mountain and a few trees fell. Other than that, there was no other huge impact.
He stood on the mountain for a while, and after finding that the earthquake did not continue, he was about to enter the cave again. Suddenly, he vaguely saw a faint light in the valley not far away, which was very weak.
"what?"
Wang An suddenly disappeared from the mountain, his figure flashed a few times in the mountain, and soon he came to the place where the light came from.
The light came from underground. A crack appeared on the ground. It was no more than twenty centimeters wide. The light was slightly green. It was more than ten meters deep underground. Then with the shining light, Wang An saw two white bones.
"This is an underground tomb?"
Wang An looked at the surrounding terrain and could vaguely see several incomplete rock paintings on a broken rock nearby.
He came closer and took a closer look. Because the stone was broken, the picture was incomplete. However, he could roughly see that some people were worshiping something, and there were some upward stairs in the picture.
Wang An walked forward along the curved crack, and found that there seemed to be a vague passage underneath the crack, and he didn't know where it led.
He walked along the crack for nearly two hundred meters, and when the crack disappeared, he looked up at a towering mountain peak in front of him.
"Let's wait until daybreak tomorrow and take a closer look." Although his current vision is not much different between day and night, he decided to wait until daybreak before taking a closer look.
He waited calmly in the mountain all night. The other people in the mountain were frightened, and they were all trembling with fear.
"Holy shit, what's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
"Don't be alarmed. Earthquakes occasionally occur in Mount Beiyi. The frequency of earthquakes here is much higher than in other places."
"Really, is this normal?"
"Yes, normal."
"If your legs weren't shaking like a vibrating sieve, I almost would have believed you!"
Just as he was talking, a stone rolled down from the top of the mountain.
"Be careful, get out of the way!"
The other team was not much better and hurriedly found an open space to take shelter. But where to find an open space in this mountain forest? Fortunately, the earthquake lasted only a short time and the intensity was not high.
"Huh, what a false alarm."
"Why is there an earthquake all of a sudden?"
"Beiyi Mountain is an earthquake-prone area."
"Hey, tell me, could this earthquake be caused by some man-made factors?"
"What does human factors mean?"
"Someone used dynamite to blow something up and it caused an earthquake."
"But we didn't hear the explosion?"
"Maybe the explosion was underground, or it was covered up in the cave."
"Whatever the reason is, everyone needs to be more alert tonight."
The two teams stayed awake that night for fear of another earthquake.
The next morning, just after dawn, Wang An was ready to start.
He thought about going underground to take a look, but the crack on the ground was very narrow. It looked like it was no more than twenty or thirty centimeters. Naturally, no one could get in with this width. Only a cat could get in.
Wang An channeled his true energy, gave a powerful palm move, and with a loud bang, a big pit sank into the ground.
Then his whole body suddenly sank more than one meter deep, and then he used his hands to open a path underground.
With the blessing of Zhenqi, Wang An's palms easily broke through the hard ground and shattered the rocks underground. The further down, the wider the cracks in the ground became. After going down four or five meters, they could barely accommodate a person.
pass.
Wang An looked at both sides of the crack, which were filled with hard rocks.
As he went all the way down, his feet reached the ground more than ten meters deep. Here he actually saw stone steps. But these steps
The ladder is incomplete, broken, broken, and in pieces.
Looking at these stairs, Wang An thought of the petroglyphs he saw on the broken rocks last night.
Those who worship, the stairs leading to higher places.
But now the stairs have sunk into the ground and have completely collapsed.
Where does this staircase lead to? Wang An thought of the painting recorded in that person's diary, the luminous door.
"Will it lead to the legendary residence of immortals?"
Underground, Wang An walked along the broken stone steps. On both sides were piled rocks, some large and some small. Suddenly Wang An stopped.
He saw two skeletons, but only part of the body could be seen, and the other part must have been pressed into the rocks. It looked like it was buried underground.
Continuing forward, he discovered skeletons one after another. Almost none of them were complete. They were all pressed into the rocks. The clothes they wore were a little weird.
"Sacrifice, earthquake?" Wang An suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Did these people encounter an earthquake while holding some kind of sacrificial activity? They were crushed to death before they could escape. The clothes they were wearing may be sacrificial clothes."
Wang An was looking for the way forward along the broken stone steps. Suddenly, the road ahead broke off and was cut off by a rock with no visible edge.
If the road is gone, then open a new one. There is no road underground.
Wang An took a breath, raised his hand and struck the table with all his strength, and landed on the boulder.
The energy rises from the feet, driving the energy all over the body to gather upward. The true energy gushes out from the sea of ââââqi and goes up along the meridians.
They met from the shoulders, gathered together, and moved hand in hand, just like fire meeting fuel, exerting amazing power.
He slapped his palm on the boulder.
King Kong shooting case,
The moment his palm came into contact with the stone, the part of the rock in contact with his palm immediately shattered, and his palm sank into the rock. Almost at the same time, dozens of cracks quickly spread in all directions centered on the place where his hand sank.
, spider webs generally cover the entire rock.
Clicking and cracking sounds continued to come from the inside of the rock. With a bang, the rock directly shattered and then collapsed.
Behind the rock, there was a winding passage leading to an unknown direction, and some crumbling stone steps could be seen below. He walked along the stone steps, and the further he went, the further down the stone steps seemed to be.
It leads to the underground and deep.
"Is it possible that the stone steps in the painting on the rock outside are pointing underground, not upward?"
On the ground, in the mountains and forests, the two teams had not had a good rest all night. They were traveling through the jungle, and they were still searching separately.
"Boss, will there be another earthquake today?"
"Hard to say."
"Then let's withdraw. Even though the money is a lot, we still have to live to spend it!"
"You have the money in your hands, but what you put into your mouth is spit out again. Besides, what a coincidence. There was an earthquake last night, and it's coming again today?"
"That's hard to say."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, and the ground beneath the feet of several people shook.
"Hangcao, isn't it! It's really here!"
"Crow's Mouth!"
Another team in the mountains has climbed to the top of a mountain, standing high enough to see far.
"Captain, I really have you. There was an earthquake last night, and you led us to the top of the mountain today. If there is an earthquake later, we won't have anywhere to run."
"Stand high and see far."
"Well, I think you'll die faster if you stand too high!"
"Crow's Mouth, what are you talking about?!" a teammate yelled at the side.
"Bah, bah, bah, I was wrong!"
As soon as he said this, the mountain began to shake.
"Hangcao, isn't it?"
These people hurriedly fell to the ground, but after a few seconds they regained their composure.
"Captain, I think..."
"From now on you are not allowed to say a word, do you hear me?"
Uh-huh!
Underground, Wang An moved forward all the way, all the way down. The air here was a bit dull, and there were no cracks visible above his head. Wang An made a rough estimate and found that he was now close to a depth of twenty meters underground.
If there were another earthquake now, if both sides collapsed, he would be buried directly inside.
Wang An stopped and saw a relatively open space in front of him. Because there were several sloping stone pillars underground supporting the surrounding area, the stairs under his feet began to become continuous.
Within three or two steps on the stone steps, you can see several corpses. Wang An felt like it was leading to a tomb somewhere.
After walking forward for some distance, an unfathomable ravine lay in front of us. It was seven or eight meters wide. Diagonally opposite, below and on the stone wall were two doors.
The appearance of the two doors is exactly the same as what was recorded in the diary.
"Really?!"
Originally, Wang An's purpose in coming to Beiyi Mountain was to lure out the person behind the last incident in Beijing. He just wanted to go around and make some noise as a bait. Unexpectedly, he found such a thing in this mountain.
Wang An's body swayed across the unfathomable ravine and came to the front of the two doors.
In front of the gate is a broad altar. At this time, the altar is also full of cracks and there are some animal bones on it. It seems that it should be used for sacrifices.
Wang An passed through the altar and came to the front of the door. There were some weird runes on the door. There was an overturned stone tablet next to it, which recorded some ancient writings.
"What's behind this door?"
Wang An stretched out his hand and tried it. The stone door was very thick, but it was not unbreakable.
He looked at the two doors, but did not use his own strength to break the stone door open. He used his mobile phone to take pictures of the stone door, stone tablets, altars and other ancient objects and then looked around.
He turned around and came to the bottomless ravine and looked down.
The endless abyss, the overwhelming darkness, seems to be a gaping mouth, trying to swallow everything close to it.
Wang An turned around and looked at the two doors again, then crossed the ravine in one step and left along the way he came. However, when he went back, he moved several rocks and re-sealed the road leading to the stone door.
died.
When he came out of the underground, another palm shook the ground, completely blocking the way in.
He wasn't sure what was behind the two stone doors. It might be a god, or it might be something bad. He always felt that the latter was more likely.
"It's almost time to go back."
On the way back, Wang An secretly found the two teams and quietly took additional photos for them.
While the two teams were still searching hard in the mountains, Wang An was already on his way back.
He returned quietly. He set off from Beiyi Mountain in the morning and returned to the mountain village that night. He woke up just in time to have breakfast. It was so fast.
Seeing Wang An return, Xu Qi informed him of the progress of the investigation.
"All that can be found now are some small shrimps. These people are very careful. The clues are broken when they reach one place."
"This can be regarded as a harvest. Only by putting a long line can you catch big fish. I also have a bait here." Wang An told Xu Qi what he found at the foot of Beiyi Mountain. Xu Qi was stunned after hearing this.
"Here, why does what sir say sound so similar to the stone gate of Immortal Burial Valley?!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.
There is also a stone door at the end of the depths of Immortal Burial Valley, and the stone door has been opened, but no one knows what is inside.
"Perhaps there is some kind of connection between them. After all, they are all in the land of Xiqiang. I have brought back the photos with some ancient characters and symbols.
Find an expert to break it down."
"good."
"This bait should attract a lot of people."
"Sir, didn't you go in and take a look?" Xu Qi asked curiously.
"I thought about it, but I held back."
"Why, maybe there really are immortals inside?"
"Immortal, what is an immortal? So what if you meet me? I have my own way now, the one that suits me best. And I have a vague hunch that there may be something bad in it. How has Lei Hai been doing these days?
Sample?"
"It's pretty good, getting better day by day." Xu Qi said, this is what makes him happiest. The injury of his friend has been a knot in his heart over the years.
The day after Wang An came back, Xu Qi left the mountain village and headed for the capital. During the time that Wang An was away, he secretly inquired about information and took care of Lei Hai in the mountain village. Lu Xiangyi was watching over there in the capital.
"What, the underground stone gate?" After hearing what Xu Qi said, Lu Xiangyi was also stunned.
"C-could this have anything to do with Immortal Burial Valley?"
"Maybe, I have to find someone to decipher the words and symbols on the photos that my husband brought back."
"What do you think will be behind the stone door?"
"I don't know. My husband didn't even go in. He said there might be something bad behind it."
"Maybe it's just an ancient tomb?"
"maybe."
On the same day, Xu Qi contacted a relevant expert for advice.
"Here, where did you get these photos?" The expert was very surprised after seeing the photos Xu Qi showed him.
"This is Tangut script, which is Xixia script." The expert pointed at the stone tablet.
"As for these two doors, the symbols on them look like they were from the Pre-Qin period. I need to research what they are exactly."
