Zhao Yingjun is the kind of person who does things straight to the end. Now that Polonov has spoken, he will definitely not let him go so easily. Anyway, Zhao Yingjun used all the scare words to deal with the opponent. This time he probably really put Poirot to death.
Everything that Nove knew was squeezed out.
Polonov may not really know who was worshiped at this sacrificial site two thousand years ago and what was the purpose of the sacrificial offering. However, he said something about bronze vessels. According to him, this kind of
Bronze is indeed a kind of ritual instrument, which is very important in the process of sacrifice. It has no decorative patterns, and any traces on the bronze are useful.
Zhao Yingjun took out the fragment of bronze from his arms and looked at it. Polonov obviously didn't know how this thing fell into our hands, and his eyes were full of doubts. Zhao Yingjun kicked him and asked him to continue.
explain.
Because the sacrifice that took place here was abnormal, the process of the sacrifice and the use of the sacrifices were also different from ordinary sacrifices. After the sacrifice, the entire set of braids was smashed.
"Why smash it? You're not fooling around, are you?" Zhao Yingjun looked very distrustful of Polonov.
"The liar is my grandson." Polonov quickly swore that he was scared to death of Zhao Yingjun and would not miss any opportunity to please and show his loyalty.
Smashing the ritual music used for sacrifice has something to do with the object of the sacrifice. The person in charge of the sacrifice believes that only in this way can the object of the sacrifice be informed of his requirements. In other words, there may be a complete inscription on the inscription.
Regarding the information about the sacrifice, the inscriptions were all broken into pieces. It took the Russians a long time to salvage a fragment. It is very difficult to collect all the inscriptions.
After saying this, Polonov could say nothing more. He was not a first-line member of the team. The specific situation was told to him by the team leader.
"We can't get out now." Zhao Yingjun put away the bronze fragments and said to me: "Old Maozi won't be so friendly. In fact, I don't want to get out either."
"Why?"
"As you can imagine, the scale of the sacrifice back then was huge. I suspect that the area of this underground lake is not large enough to cover the entire sacrifice site."
As he said that, he looked forward, and I immediately understood what he meant. He suspected that the terrain here may have changed in the two thousand years since the sacrifice, and the underground lake was only part of the sacrifice site. Zhao Yingjun obviously
I want to walk deeper. I don't know if it's appropriate to do this, but it's a fact that we are stuck here and can't get out.
"We won't be able to stay long." I was very worried because I didn't have all the equipment I brought with me. Even if we didn't need to borrow any tools, we still had to eat.
"More or less." Zhao Yingjun took out things from several pockets on his body. A very experienced person like him would never throw away all his things at any time. He would at least keep some of them with him.
In an emergency, you might be able to survive on these things for a while. He also has three compressed biscuits, three high-energy chocolates, a dry battery and a small amount of fuel.
Polonov definitely couldn't be let go and could only be taken with him temporarily. Maybe this guy also saw that he was in danger of being silenced at any time, so he cooperated quite well. Before leaving, Zhao Yingjun went to the crack and took a look quietly.
Look, the Russians are indeed returning one after another.
Deep in the crack, the space skyrocketed in a geometric shape, but the overall shape was very strange. Originally, I thought it would take me a long way, or even some twists and turns before I could find anything, but less than ten minutes after we actually set off, we saw it.
The discovery of a large polished stone pillar as thick as a wheel proves that Zhao Yingjun's guess is correct. The stone pillar as thick as a wheel is actually a transportation tool that functions as a roller and is used to carry very large and heavy things.
.
Immediately afterwards, we saw the ruins of the building, just like the ancient underground city of Shiyanchuan. It seemed that it had been destroyed by a huge subversive force, and there was no trace of the building. Seeing the scale of this kind of building, you can imagine
In the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago, countless civilians and soldiers worked like ants in the huge underground cave. Unknowingly, I became more and more interested in the motivation of the sacrifice. Using so much manpower at once was absolutely impossible.
It cannot be without purpose, and the purpose of the sacrifice should be very important.
The surrounding air was very humid, with polar moss and the like growing there, making it a bit slippery when walking. We walked about a hundred meters in total, and eight Huabiao-like pillars appeared not far ahead. The pillars
It is very thick and is already leaning this way and that. Around the pillar, there are some blood-patterned pottery that has not been completely broken. The almost two-meter-high blood-patterned pottery looks like warriors who have been standing since the Qin Dynasty to this day, guarding the ruins of sacrifices.
.
"My God..." Polonov's eyes were straightened, and his intestines were blue with regret. Their team had been here for more than a day or two, but they didn't notice or care about the cracks under the lake. It is estimated that everyone
No one thought that such a huge ancient ruin would exist just where the raft passed by every day.
"If you observe here, the center of the pillars and the blood-patterned pottery seems to be the center of the ruins." Zhao Yingjun touched me and said, "Is this the main sacrificial site?"
We quickened our pace, and as the distance got closer, the shadows cast by those thick pillars and blood-patterned pottery were reflected by the flashlight, which looked a bit scary. When I thought of the blood-patterned pottery mixed with human blood and even corpses,
When I feel sick, I can't help but feel flustered and short of breath.
There is no altar here, which is very strange. The sacrificial site rises from the ground, and the eight pillars are symmetrically spaced about fifteen meters apart. We slowly walked from between the pillars to the center. As we approached there, I
I saw a very obvious mark on the ground.
This trace seems to be the most central position. It is about one meter wide and three meters long. Even though many years have passed, this trace is extremely clear. It is the trace of a broken stone. In other words, this place was originally
There was supposed to be a large stone standing there, but the stone was broken at the root and moved away.
Zhao Yingjun scratched his head, ran not far away, stood on a broken stone pillar, glanced into the distance, and when he ran back, he said that these eight pillars might be the altar of the main sacrificial site. If so.
From the looks of it, the Qin people conducted such a large sacrifice, firing large quantities of blood-patterned pottery, and bringing along bronze woven pottery and various other sacrificial objects and utensils, just to worship this broken stone? This is obviously too strange.
With our minds full of doubts, we carefully observed around the eight pillars. I wonder if I was lucky. When I passed a few stones, I only glanced at them and saw a very small one.
It looked like a small stove. The small stove was severely corroded. Judging from the green rust on the outside, it was a bronze stove. I excitedly called Zhao Yingjun and asked him to come over and take a look.
"Don't get excited." Zhao Yingjun fiddled with it for a long time, clapped his hands and said to me: "This is definitely not a trick."
The pattern on this small bronze stove is quite obvious. It is a snake pattern that was very common in bronze castings from the Warring States Period to the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Yingjun said that this was what the alchemists used at that time. The alchemists believed that many extraordinary things could be achieved by using the stove.
things, including gold and elixirs.
"Are there any alchemists participating in this sacrifice?"
"There are enough questions. I have to think about it slowly." Zhao Yingjun waved his hand and motioned for me to continue searching until I have searched for all the things I can find. Then I sat down and slowly based on the clues on the things.
Work out the details.
Before the scope of our search had completely left ten meters around the eight pillars, I suddenly heard a very light but very familiar voice. At that time, the hairs all over my body stood up. I could tell that it was the scream of a shadow.
There was a sound, and it was like a shadow under the Xihai River.
Zhao Yingjun swept his flashlight, and we saw two shadows about ten meters in front of us, flashing in panic for a few times, and then quickly running towards the depths. Zhao Yingjun only thought about it for two seconds, and he wanted to chase after him as soon as he grabbed the flashlight.
Go down. The shadow here is much more familiar to us than us. Zhao Yingjun may think that following the shadow will make some discoveries. He is not afraid of this thing. People with super skills can deal with this kind of shadow.
As soon as he took a step, I pushed Polonov to follow him. Zhao Yingjun was very fast and threw me more than ten meters away in an instant. Although I was holding the gun, I was still very nervous and kept urging Polonov.
Lonov, hurry up. It took only three to five minutes for Zhao Yingjun to run away, leaving only a very blurry figure. When Polonov saw that Zhao Yingjun had run away, he might be a little dishonest, twisting his tied body back and forth.
My body is very uncomfortable.
"Bear it!" I pushed him hard and yelled loudly, which was actually to embolden myself. I scolded Zhao Yingjun and his family several times in my mind. This guy is always so unreliable. No matter what the situation, he will just run away.
Run, not caring whether I can cope with the situation in front of me.
After running a few dozen meters, Zhao Yingjun's figure suddenly turned to the left. I forced Polonov to follow him. The terrain on the left looked like a small alley, which was very high but relatively narrow. After I ran a few steps
, stopped suddenly and looked behind me, because I saw something rather strange.
It was something like a house, built with several flat and heavy stones, about one and a half meters high. The stones seemed to have slipped due to some natural reasons, and it was probably impossible to build a house by such a coincidence.
Such a hollow body. Therefore, this thing must have been built deliberately.
The "little house" made of stones had no doors or windows, but there were several gaps in the overlapping parts of the stones. I originally stopped because of this thing, but within a minute of stopping, I heard something
A sound that made people feel itchy came from inside the "little house".
