Zhuang Rui felt a little discouraged. According to his analysis, the Arzhai Grottoes were the most likely place to be the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, but everything observed by Lingqi obviously broke Zhuang Rui's illusions.
"It seems that we will find a time in the future to bring the entire Inner Mongolia prairie here..."
Zhuang Rui was a little reluctant. If time hadn't been tight this time, and if he had exhausted all the spiritual energy in his eyes in order to save Zhui Feng, he would still be sure to find the tombs of some Mongolian nobles and even emperors.
However, Zhuang Rui is still a person who refuses to admit defeat. Just because he cannot find it this time does not mean that he will never be able to discover the tombs of the Mongolian emperors and solve the mystery of the Mongolian tombs that has puzzled archaeologists for thousands of years.
When he took the history of the Yuan Dynasty as the subject of his doctoral research, Zhuang Rui actually wanted to use his own eyes to fill the gap in the archeology of Yuan Dynasty tombs. However, it was obvious that the timing this time was not very good.
Zhuang Rui was thinking, but the spiritual energy in his eyes did not stop and continued to penetrate downwards, but all he felt when he entered his eyes was the same red sandstone as the upper layer.
This made Zhuang Rui a little frustrated, so he wanted to take back his spiritual energy and use these few days to study the Mongolian and Yuan culture of the Aerzhai Grottoes.
"Huh?"
But just when Zhuang Rui was about to take back the spiritual energy, he suddenly felt that the spiritual energy seemed to penetrate the rock and come to a space.
"Could it be..."
Zhuang Rui was first surprised, then overjoyed. He quickly calmed down and slowly sensed the situation at the end of the aura.
"It doesn't look like a man-made space, but more like a naturally formed limestone cave..."
After Zhuang Rui penetrated the spiritual energy into that space, he frowned slightly. The space was very open and far-reaching, and the terrain inside was of different heights, and it curved like a snake and spread across the entire Alzhai Stone Mountain.
The distance that Zhuang Rui sensed using his spiritual energy alone reached more than two hundred meters, and the front seemed endless, spread throughout the Arzhai Grotto like an underground maze.
It is absolutely impossible to dig an underground labyrinth of this scale by human power. Let alone the Mongolian Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, even today, it is a huge project that is difficult to complete.
"This should be a naturally formed internal cave when the Arzhai Grottoes were formed. It is somewhat similar to the one on Pirate Island..."
After Zhuang Rui closed his eyes for more than half an hour, he slowly opened his eyes. He was no stranger to such terrain. Zhuang Rui had seen such a volcano when he was trapped on the pirate island a few years ago.
cave.
"It seems it has nothing to do with Genghis Khan..."
Zhuang Rui's heart was ups and downs at this moment. The glimmer of hope that originally appeared was extinguished by himself. He shook his head and Zhuang Rui slowly collected the spiritual energy that was spread under the Alzhai Stone Mountain.
return.
When Zhuang Rui first released his spiritual energy, it entered the Arzhai Stone Mountain in a linear form from the grotto at his feet.
But when it was taken back, there was no pattern. The spiritual energy all over the bottom of the mountain formed a network and penetrated the rocks above, slowly coming into Zhuang Rui's eyes.
"Huh? There seems to be something wrong there..."
As wisps of spiritual energy returned to Zhuang Rui's eyes, he was also carefully observing the difference between the cave space and the red sandstone in the spiritual energy state.
When the spiritual energy penetrated from a grotto at the bottom of the mountain to the ground, Zhuang Rui suddenly felt that the distance between the ground and the cave seemed to be very thin.
In several other places, the caves are nearly 30 meters or more rock thick from the ground, but underground in this grotto, it seems to be only five or six meters away, and it is connected to the cave.
This discovery cheered up Zhuang Rui a little and focused his spiritual energy on that location.
However, due to the terrain, it is normal for the caves in the mountain to be close to the surface. Zhuang Rui was just out of habit and prepared to reconsider there.
"It's a collapsed grotto..."
Zhuang Rui first sensed the location of the grotto and found that the grotto was located at the foot of the Alzhai Stone Mountain. Due to years of weathering, the grotto had collapsed.
Over the long history, damage to the grottoes due to natural weathering and erosion caused by wind and rain, loosening of rocks, and collapse of cliffs is a very common occurrence in the Aerzhai Grottoes.
Originally there were hundreds of grottoes along this red sandstone hill. Today, only forty-nine grottoes have been preserved. The rest are like this one in Zhuang Rui's eyes, which have collapsed and been abandoned.
.
"There is something wrong with this grotto..."
When the spiritual energy in Zhuang Rui's eyes concentrated under the grotto, he finally discovered something different, that is, the rock under the grotto was not naturally formed, but was sealed after being excavated.
From the surface of the collapsed grotto to the access point of the cave, there are traces of artificial excavation. Although the rocks used for sealing were all placed in one piece, under Zhuang Rui's aura of mercury pouring down the ground, there was still nothing to be found.
The hidden form was revealed.
"This...this was excavated by later generations. Who did it? What is the purpose?"
After Zhuang Rui found out about the underground of this grotto, he was stunned. He intuitively sensed from the bottom of his heart that there must be something unknown inside.
No one would excavate a mountain without any reason, and no one would painstakingly fill it back up with stones after digging through it. Now Zhuang Rui felt that even the cave that collapsed might have been caused by man.
It's like it's covering up something.
Zhuang Rui took a deep breath, calmed down, and observed carefully in the cave under the grotto. As expected, he found many differences after careful inspection.
In the seven or eight meters long cave under the grotto, there are many traces of artificial excavations on the rock walls along the way. However, the ground is very clean, but there are no artificial objects left here.
"There must be something wrong, it's just trying to hide it..."
Zhuang Rui's spiritual energy searched deeper along the cave under the grotto. If he encountered a fork in the road, he would divide his spiritual energy into two streams to explore at the same time, gradually seeping into the interior of the mountain.
"Grandma, I slipped up at the critical moment..."
Just when Zhuang Rui wanted to expand the search range, the spiritual energy in his eyes was exhausted. Only then did he realize that the spiritual energy of Ganqing was already hundreds of meters deep into the mountain. This was also what he could detect with his unrecovered spiritual energy.
maximum range.
Although no artificial objects have been found within a few hundred meters of this area, Zhuang Rui firmly believes that the ancients could not have spent so much effort to open up this cave and then abandon it. There must be unknown things inside.
Secret.
Even if this is not Genghis Khan's mausoleum, it will still be a residence for emperors of the Yuan Dynasty. But what Zhuang Rui regrets is that he has no way to continue the investigation today.
Having made new discoveries, but being unable to continue the survey due to his own reasons, Zhuang Rui felt itchy as if he had been scratched by a cat.
After wandering around the top of the mountain like a trapped animal for a while, Zhuang Rui had no choice but to walk down the mountain. He wanted to find Zhui Feng and have a good gallop on the grassland to relieve his depression.
"Huh? Brother Bater, Timur and Brother Ren, are you here?"
When Zhuang Rui walked to the place where he found Zhui Feng yesterday, he found that Battle and others who had left yesterday were standing there holding their horses, and he quickly went up to say hello.
Twenty or thirty meters away from Battle and others, there was a herd of wild horses. Zhuang Rui counted them roughly and found that the number seemed to be less than before. It was probably because they were trapped by the herdsmen again on the way.
Gone.
These wild horses surrounded Zhui Feng, and were not afraid of Battle and others who were watching them from a distance. Perhaps this was also the result of Zhui Feng's appeasement?
When Ren Chunqiang saw Zhuang Rui coming over, he laughed and scolded: "You kid, leave Brother Ren and run away to be happy. No, you have to get me a good horse..."
Dr. Ren has been practicing equestrian hard these days. Under the guidance of everyone in the ranch, he has successfully become a figure-eight leg and almost worn out his crotch. Riding on the horse is quite impressive. Of course, if he is allowed to ride on Zhuifeng
If it's on your body, you'll definitely fall to the ground.
However, after a few days, Dr. Ren fell in love with the sport of horse riding. He was embarrassed to ask Battelle for a horse. When he came here just now, he saw so many wild horses, so Zhuang Rui was moved.
As for future issues, Dr. Ren has also made plans. He plans to bring the horse back to Beijing, find an equestrian club to foster it, and go ride it in his free time. With Dr. Ren’s current income, it is not enough.
can afford this expense.
Zhuang Rui pointed to the herd of wild horses not far away and said: "There are quite a lot of horses here. Brother Ren, you can choose as you like. But let me ask you, brother Ren, can you control these horses?"
In Zhuang Rui's heart, these wild horses can no longer be called wild horses. Conquering the King of Horses has basically completed the transformation of the wild horses. If it were in the past, the wild horses would have already been transformed when they saw the shadow of humans.
There was no trace of him running away.
"How do you say this? Brother Ren and I have not lived in vain these days..."
After Dr. Ren heard Zhuang Rui's words, his face suddenly turned red. But after a pause, his voice lowered again, "Zhuang Rui, if I can't surrender, you can ask the horse king to stop...
…”
Let alone wild horses, even tamed horses, Ren Chunqiang doesn't dare to let go and run now, so he doesn't have enough confidence to speak.
"Okay, Brother Ren, you pick one, Peng Fei, where is the horse you chose?"
Zhuang Rui nodded in agreement, turned to look at Peng Fei, and immediately discovered that the younger brother's face was not so good-looking, and his clothes had several cuts.
Peng Fei pointed at the white horse standing next to Zhui Feng angrily and said: "That's the horse, grandma's. I'll do it again if I can't control it. I have to give it some blood..."
