I saw that the secret passage had been opened. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the secret passage with my flashlight. There was a stone step made of black stone that led diagonally downwards. The flashlight's illumination distance was limited and I couldn't see it any deeper.
The fat man waved and called the five people waiting at the door of the temple to come in. When everyone saw that the secret passage was opened, they all praised my method of dividing the gold.
It was already past noon, so I said a few words of humility and asked everyone to pack up and pack as lightly as possible. First, we went outside the temple to get some water and eat a few mouthfuls of dry food. We didn’t know how far this secret passage would go, so we would go in after we were fully prepared.
While eating dry food, Sa Di Peng curiously asked me how I found the secret passage. He was so accurate.
I said to him: Just by looking at the arrangement of the sixteen large stone pillars, we can tell that the layout of this secret passage is the giant gate formation passed down from ancient times. Why is it called the giant gate? That is to say, this kind of mechanism is mostly used in passages.
On the portal, these numbers are all evolved from Luo numbers and the arrangement of stars in the sky. The mysteries here are so deep that I tell you, you can’t even understand them.
After everyone took a rest, I led them down the secret passage in the temple. Under the entrance, a stone lever was found, which can be used to open the floor tile from below. These mechanisms are exquisitely designed. After nearly two thousand years, the machine
The Kuo can still be used, and the construction principles are very unusual. Although it uses a lot of easy-to-count concepts, it is its own system. If these are all invented by the exquisite queen, then she must be an unparalleled genius.
At first we were worried that there was a trap in the secret passage, so we were cautious and extra cautious when going down. We distanced ourselves and walked slowly. When we reached the end of the stone steps, our eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a five-meter-wide and three-meter-high tunnel.
Terracotta Road.
The paths around the figurines are no longer dark stones, but are made of rectangular light yellow adobe bricks used to build city walls in the ancient Western Regions, mixed with rammed earth, cow dung, cool sand, etc., which are dry and strong, and will not crack for a long time. They are piled on top of the head.
It is round-arched and the walls are full of weird and bright murals.
The eyes that appear most often in the paintings are large and small, open and closed. Some only have eyeballs, and some also have eyelids and eyelashes. Jingjue people regard eyes as totems. This figurine path
There are so many eyes painted on the temple, so only clergy and rulers like the queen are eligible to enter. It may not have been used many times since it was built.
The environment of this figurine tunnel is very closed, and the air is not circulated. The colors of the murals are as new and have not peeled off at all, which makes Professor Chen and others excited to see it.
Professor Chen said that as far back as the early 19th century, the ruins of ancient cities in Xinjiang discovered by foreign explorers also contained a large number of murals, almost all of them with religious themes. Unfortunately, the government did not protect them at that time, and they were all completely looted.
It was lost to foreign countries. I never expected that here we can see such a complete and preserved mural, which is also the oldest and most mysterious among the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. This is enough to shock the whole world.
When I heard what the professor said, I thought of the legend that the queen is a monster. This ancient city is extremely weird. If there really is a monster, maybe we can find some clues from these murals. If we really encounter it, we can know ourselves and the enemy so that we can fight without danger, so we started to fight.
Watch the murals one by one.
However, there is no figure of Queen Jingjue in all the figurine murals. The contents of the paintings all show some rituals. Some paintings show a jade eyeball emitting light, and a black hole appears in the sky, and a bird falls from the hole.
Giant eye-like fleshy eggs.
Some depict countless black strange snakes crawling out of their eggs and biting several tied slaves, causing the slaves to struggle painfully.
There are also paintings of black mountain peaks covered with black snakes. All the animals around them knelt down and kowtowed to the strange snakes on the mountain.
We have seen some of these scenes before. Comparing the scenes depicted on the murals here further confirms Professor Chen's judgment. This kind of strange snake with a black eyeball on its head has always been regarded by the elite as a guardian beast.
They know how to summon and drive these snake beasts, and often sacrifice living people to the snake beasts. Unexpectedly, the ancient Jingjue Kingdom has been buried under the sea of ​​sand for thousands of years, and these strange snakes still exist in the world.
We walked and looked at it, and stopped in front of the last painting. This mural showed a huge cave, with a slender staircase spiraling downwards around the cave wall.
He said to Professor Chen: Do you think there is any connection between this cave and the origin of the name of the Ghost Cave Clan?
Professor Chen said: It is very possible. Looking at the spiral staircase on the cave wall, it is as small as a thin line and is completely out of proportion to the large cave. Such a large cave that goes straight up and down cannot be dug by human power. Could it be that this
It's a ghost cave
I remember hearing them once say that the Ghost Cave Clan came from the underground. I didn’t think much about it at the time, thinking it was just nonsense from the ancient people. But now that I’ve seen the murals, I’m suspicious. Some of the things in these murals have been witnessed by us.
From what I have seen, it seems that it is not a pretentious painting to deceive people. Maybe there really is such a big hole deep in the ancient city of Jingjue.
The fat man laughed and said: If there really is such a big hole in the world, wouldn't it lead to the other end of the earth? If you want to go abroad to save trouble in the future, don't take a plane and jump directly from this big hole. You will arrive in the United States in a short while.
He ignored the fat man's nonsense and asked Professor Chen: The giant-eyed stone statues of the Ghost Cave Clan are probably their true colors. If they really come from the dark world underground, that would explain their respect for eyes.
.
Professor Chen said: What you said makes sense. There is another possibility. This huge cave is an alien world that appears repeatedly in the ghost cave civilization. It is also what you call the imaginary number space. It is likely to be an entity.
In ancient times, the ghost cave people discovered this huge cave. They could not explain why there were such large underground caves in the world. They tried their best but could not get to the bottom of the cave to see what was going on. The ancients admired the power of nature. Maybe they
They regard this huge cave as a miracle and worship it. They hope that their eyes will be more powerful and they can see the situation at the bottom of the cave clearly. A few people claim that their eyes can see the world at the bottom of the cave, and they are respected.
, became the rulers or clergy of the tribe. Since their power came from their eyes, they regarded the eyes as the source of power.
After hearing what the professor said, the fat man was very upset. He raised his thumb and said, "Okay, old man, you can see so many things from just one painting, and you talk so eloquently that it is true."
It's like a stall. If you go to practice stalls, you will definitely be able to talk about a lot of popular stuff.
Professor Chen was not in the mood to joke with him, so he casually said, "I am just making subjective guesses, and I can't be sure. Let's go out of the secret passage to see if there is such a big hole. Seeing is believing."
I don’t know why, when I heard them talking about underground caves, I remembered the past of seeing the nine-story demon tower under the Kunlun Mountains. I lost several comrades that time. Since then, I have learned a lot about the caves deep underground.
I am extremely fearful. I am very worried about what accidents may happen to the people in the archaeological team. If they do not have to enter the underground palace to find water sources, I really want to drag them back. Since this desert archeology has achieved significant results, it is not bad for that.
A hole in the ground.
I said to the professor: A person with a rich body should not sit in danger. You are all people with status in society. There is no need to take risks. After we find the water source in the underground palace and replenish it, we should go back. Since we have found it
Jingjue Ancient City, our task has been completed. You can write an evaluation report and submit it to the relevant superior department. We can just let the government handle the rest in the future.
Professor Chen shook his head but said nothing. He had wanted to explore the mysteries of the ghost cave civilization all his life. Now that he was here, he was itching to accept it. Besides, he had always believed that her father's expedition team had visited Jingdong.
She would not give up until she finally found the ancient city. They said they would never go back.
I had no choice but to continue walking with them, thinking that I had done my best to be benevolent and had said everything I needed to say. If something happened, I would have a clear conscience.
The figurine path is not too long, and there are no steps at the end. There is only one stone pillar and no door. Could it be that the figurine path under the temple is a dead end, just for painting murals of sacrificial rituals?
The fat man looked around, turned around and said to me: Old Hu, do you have any other tricks this time? If not, just use explosives.
I said: Do you have any other means besides violence? Use your brain and take a look first. I estimate that the secret door will probably land on this single stone pillar.
This lonely stone pillar standing in the sky brick figurines is several times smaller than the sixteen large stone pillars in the temple, but its shape is exactly the same. There are also six-sided statues coiled at the bottom of the pillar, and the empty side is facing
The narrow wall at the end.
This is easy to handle. It turns out that the dragon tails of the sixteen dragons that penetrate the ground are here. I still asked the fat man to help me turn the six sides under the stone pillar according to the Dragon Shaking Technique in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique, which is opposite to the Dragon-Seeking Order.
shaped stone plate.
