Chapter 15 The Ancient Altar

"By the way, are you looking for Li Dalongtou?" I suddenly remembered what happened in Tai Chi's tomb and asked her hurriedly.

"Li Long? Haha, this man is an old fox. He knows how to disguise better than anyone else. He is just like a loach. It is difficult for anyone to catch him."

Shuiyue didn't answer my question directly. I knew she didn't want to talk, so I didn't ask again.

I was just about to ask something else when Shui Yue said again: "This matter is far more complicated than you think, and the levels involved are wider than you think. You have already waded into this pool of muddy water, but

In this game, you cannot easily trust anyone but yourself, including me of course, but I believe that we will not be enemies or become enemies, because our fates are connected."

I looked into her eyes, and she still refuses to take off the cloth from her face, but I can feel that she really doesn't seem to have any hostility towards me.

"Why? Do you want to say that?" I asked.

"Because ever since I was sensible, I have known that my future destiny will be connected with a boy named Wang Fo. Even if there is no such thing, I will appear in front of you one day. This is my mission and also

It’s something that’s already been decided.”

I did hear it right this time. Could it be that the old man arranged it as a back-up? Maybe! According to the old man’s temperament, he is very likely to be able to do such a thing, let alone arrange for someone to be by my side.

Even deciding my future path is not impossible because he has such wisdom.

"Then why don't you take off your mask and let me see who you really are?" I said.

Shuiyue smiled and said: "It's not the time yet, you will see it one day. What? Are you afraid that I will be an ugly girl?"

I blushed a little. To be honest, I was really worried about this, but of course I couldn't say it clearly. I said, "Of course not. You should know me very well now, right? But I know nothing about you. Don't you think so?"

Is this very unfair to me?"

"I don't think so." Shuiyue said, almost choking me to death. Just when I was about to argue, she smiled and said, "I can tell you, I'm not worse than your sweetheart. I'm better."

It’s not impossible to do that.”

Proud, so proud. I'm a little depressed. Why is every girl I meet so proud, and now she even pursues an old man like me? This makes me feel so embarrassed.

Shuiyue continued: "Actually, you have already seen me. If the time comes, I will definitely show it to you. Then you will understand everything."

I was surprised, had I seen her before? Why didn’t I have any impression in my mind? She was said to be a more outstanding girl than Ashue. I would never forget such a person after seeing her!

Forget it, I don't understand what's going on here, as long as she has no ill intentions towards me.

"Then what should we do now?" I asked.

"It's not a few decades ago anymore. The road ahead is not going to be easy. Just follow me."

"What about those people you brought?"

"It's not their turn to control what I want to do." Shuiyue said, then stood up and walked forward along the crack.

I could only follow her pace. This crack looked like it was naturally formed by the mountain. It was only about half a meter wide. In some places, I even had to turn sideways to pass through.

There are many faults in the crack. Fortunately, we brought enough tools. Although the speed was a bit slow, we encountered no danger along the way.

About two hours later, the crack finally came to an end, and what appeared in front was a stone slab. After opening it, I found that we had arrived in a stone room.

Opening the stone door, a giant bronze door suddenly appeared in front of us. The giant bronze door was three to four meters high and two to three meters wide. It looked very heavy.

When I saw a circular groove on the giant door, I finally understood why I was pulled into the center of this incident. There were many tooth patterns around the groove, and there were several depressions inside.

The origin looks very consistent with the copper ring I wore.

It turns out that the copper ring is the key here! I sighed in my heart. At this point, I already understood that the Taiji Tomb in Henan and the Sacred Lake in the Qinling Mountains were both masterpieces of the first generation of dragon chasers. There are some things hidden in them.

, but the key is placed in another mausoleum. Only by getting that key can this giant bronze door be opened.

Back then, the old man and the others only got some clues about this place from that mausoleum, but they didn't get the key, so they could only return without success.

Shuiyue looked at me without saying a word. I knew what she meant, so I took out the copper ring from my arms. Ever since the incident of home invasion and robbery, I have always been very careful with these two things. With the ten-layer coffin, I

It was impossible to carry it with me, I had already hidden it in a secret place, and the copper ring was small and compact, so I always carried it with me, and it finally worked this time.

When the copper ring and the groove on the door fit together perfectly, the only worry in my heart disappeared. I turned to the right. When I turned three times, the entire giant bronze door shook violently.

, and then slowly descended.

I took the copper ring back and was very excited. What secrets was hidden in this place?

This process lasted for about five minutes before the giant bronze door lowered to the horizon. We looked at each other, chuckled, and walked in together.

Inside is a wide stone passage, where two cars can easily drive side by side. From time to time, you can encounter symmetrical bronze lamp holders. However, the fuel has long been exhausted, and some even fell because they could not bear the weight of the lamp holders.

to the ground.

The stone path is not long, only about 200 meters before reaching the end. It is also a giant bronze door, but slightly smaller than the previous one. I opened it easily using the same method.

The first thing that appears in front of you as soon as you walk in is a huge altar, surrounded by a huge cave with a diameter of a hundred meters. A large bronze cauldron is placed on top of the altar, and there are still ashes of burned items in the cauldron.

, apart from that, there is nothing else.

Shuiyue said that this is the place where sacrifices are made to the sky. She asked me to look up and I found a huge cave at the top. She said that when the sun fills the cave, the sacrifices will begin.

She then expressed her opinion, saying that from the stone chamber that appeared in front and the altar, it can be seen that this should be an area where society concentrated in ancient times, or a family, or a race, the latter

More likely.

This kind of perfect bronze seems to be a product of the ancient Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. At that time, tribes had already formed alliances with each other and reached a centralized system. Princes, generals and various power centers gradually formed, and a slave society

It has already started.

Under this situation, most human beings gradually migrated to areas with concentrated populations, gradually forming cities and vassal states. However, there should be a small number of ethnic groups that still maintain the characteristics of cave dwellers. They have been living there for generations.

They all live in caves, where they live, grow old, sick, and die. Some people even never leave the cave in their entire lives.

In this system and environment, those wizards have absolute power. If sacrificial activities are held here, it usually marks the occurrence of a huge event, which can even affect the development and survival of that nation.

After hearing this, I thought about it and said that is not necessarily the case. Just like what I saw in some movies, sacrifices are very frequent in some places and have even become a daily necessity. Maybe the sacrifices here are also just a kind of sacrifice.

Is it just a custom?

Shui Yue rolled her eyes at me and said: "It seems that you were poisoned by those things! At that time, sacrifice was an extremely important national activity and was considered an act of communicating with the gods of heaven and earth.

It is solemn and rigorous, and sometimes even requires continuous accuracy for a long time. At that time, materials were extremely scarce, and many people did not even have enough to eat. How could they have the ability to hold such sacrifices frequently?"

"Then what's going on with these bronzes? People who have lived here for a long time shouldn't have such advanced technology, right?"

"Maybe they were people who fled here from abroad, or maybe they kept in touch with the outside world. There were 2,000 vassal states in the Xia Dynasty, 1,500 vassal states in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were 800 vassal states. Maybe this place can be considered

Maybe one of them."

I was overwhelmed by what she said, so I simply nodded and said, "Okay, okay, even if what you said makes sense, what does this have to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter!" Shuiyue said.

There is nothing more shocking than these words. I suddenly discovered that she is somewhat similar to Axue. Axue is the kind of person who either doesn't speak, but when she speaks, she leaves you speechless. As for her, she first pulls you.

After talking for a long time, I will finally tell you: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you listen to what I say or not."

I looked at her dumbfounded, but she smiled and said, "Just like you men, you can't help but comment on a beautiful woman when you see her."

Hey! I sighed in my heart and found that staying with her was more tiring than facing A-Xue. At least A-Xue never said unnecessary words, but she was the opposite, talking directly until you didn’t want to talk anymore. In short, it was better to talk to them both.

Staying with either of them is quite stressful.

"Okay, eldest sister, then tell me, where should we go now?"

Shuiyue looked around, and then pointed to the deepest passage: "Go there, but there is one thing that should be clarified. You are at least ten years older than me. I don't dare to be called eldest sister."

Looking at her retreating back, I shook my head dejectedly, do I even need to care about this kind of thing so clearly?
