"What flute?" Wu Zhongyuan asked curiously.

"A green jade flute engraved with handwriting," Zhao Ying said, "This jade flute was given to his beloved woman as a souvenir by a man who knew that he was about to go on an expedition and would never return." ”

"What are the words engraved on the flute?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"There is only one sentence," Zhao Ying said, "and the translation roughly means 'Beloved princess, see you in the next life.'" ’”

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan frowned suspiciously, the Qin Dynasty did not have the title of emperor before, the king is the emperor, and the princess is naturally the emperor's woman, how dare this person show love to the emperor's woman.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, Zhao Ying guessed what he was thinking, "This sentence on the flute is not an oracle bone inscription or a golden inscription, but an ancient text that you asked us to translate before." ”

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized that the ancient characters in the Xia and Shang periods had been lost, and the only people who could write ancient characters were warriors who traveled through the past in ancient times.

"Now you know why he dared to say these rebellious things to the princess, right?" Zhao Ying asked.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, this kind of writing is only known to the owner of the flute himself, this sentence is not so much a confession to the princess, but rather to say it to himself, because the princess who accepted the flute probably does not know what the words engraved on the flute mean.

"That's the most important clue, and then we just need to follow the vine. Zhao Ying said.

"What's in the altar?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Zhao Ying shook his head, "I don't know, but there is one thing for our reference, that is, after these people broke into the altar back then, the people of Sanxingdui have not entered the altar again." ”

"What does this mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

It shows that what the people who broke into the altar did destroyed the foundation of the Sanxingdui people. Zhao Ying said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and then asked, "Have you ever traced the origin of the Sanxingdui people?"

"Have you ever heard of the Aryans?" Zhao Ying asked rhetorically.

"We think so too. Wu Zhongyuan indirectly answered Zhao Ying's question.

As soon as Zhao Ying wanted to speak, Huang Hailin's voice came from not far away, "Found it." ”

Hearing this, the two stopped talking and walked towards Huang Hailin.

Huang Hailin stood on the right side of the stone chamber near the area of the stone wall, pointed to the stone slab under his feet and said to everyone, "The mechanism here is also activated by gravity, and those three bronze figures are the keys to open the door, and one must stand here." With that, he turned around and walked towards the middle of the stone chamber, stopping at one place, "There must be one standing here." ”

"But the bronze man is now broken. Xiao Qin said.

"It doesn't matter, it's their own weight that activates the traps, move them over. Huang Hailin said.

It is also a loss to a lot of people, otherwise it can't be moved, several people work together to lift the bronze man to the corresponding position, the size of the bronze man flat exceeds the size of a single stone slab, the weight must be deviated, but the slight deviation of the weight does not affect the excitation mechanism, the three bronze people are in three different positions, the stone chamber is in the north of the area of the slate slowly sinks, revealing a downward passage.

When the passage was opened, a wind blew up from below, and along with the wind came a heavy amount of moisture.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the passage to look down, only to see that the steps descending were spiral-shaped, and they could not see what was underneath.

"There's probably an underground river down there. Xiao Qin said.

When everyone heard the words underground river, they all frowned secretly, for no other reason, just because there was also an underground river at the bottom of the canyon occupied by monsters in front of them, and the existence of an underground river meant that there was probably a monster that looked like a devil that attacked everyone before.

Although I was nervous, I could only go inside, because there was only one way, and I had no choice.

The descending steps can be used for two people to walk in parallel, Wang Xinran and Huang Hailin walked in front as usual, followed by Xiao Qin and Yang Yi, and Wu Zhongyuan, Lin Qingming and Zhao Ying walked last.

After descending a few meters, the steps took a turn, and the person walking in front suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Is there light down there?" said Huang Hailin.

Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled when he heard this, and wanted to go forward, but was dragged back by Lin Qingming.

After a short pause, Wang Xinran and Huang Hailin continued to walk down the steps, which were very slippery and the damp below.

After turning three times, the passage came to an end, and before Wu Zhongyuan and the others walked out of the passage, the people in front eagerly retreated.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Wu Zhongyuan asked suspiciously, "What's the situation outside?"

Wang Xinran beckoned to him, Wu Zhongyuan squeezed forward, Wang Xinran pointed his lips forward and made a silent gesture at him, and then pulled him to move cautiously towards the exit.

There was light outside, not very bright but not very dim, as bright as a fifteen-watt light bulb, and the light was not a single color, but a strange color.

When he moved to the exit, Wu Zhongyuan saw the scene outside, and gasped at the same time, he was shocked and gasped at the same time, outside is a very large underground space, with an area of thousands of acres, a steep mountain peak is located in the middle area, on the left is a huge lake, the area occupies one-fifth of the total area of the underground space, this should be the source of the underground dark river, the overflowing lake has many tributaries, different sizes, from left to right into the cliff on the right. Mountains and lakes occupy only two-fifths of the total area of the space below, and the rest of the area is flat with strange vegetation.

The height of the underground peak is at least more than 300 meters, and there are three entrances at the bottom of the peak from left to right, the three entrances are far apart from each other, the entrances are all man-made arch shapes, there are no door leaves, and the inside of each arch has light emitting, the entrance on the far left is red, the middle entrance is yellow, and the hole on the right is cyan.

What shocked Wu Zhongyuan was naturally not the strange light emitted by the three entrances, but the terrifying creatures all over the mountains, there are three kinds of terrifying creatures, most of the monsters that resemble the devil are concentrated all over the mountain peaks, and there is also a kind of monster that is seven points like a wolf and three points like a human, hairless, gray complexion, and the size of a calf, they are mainly scattered in the flat area around the mountain peak.

There is another type of monster that lives in the water, with only its eyes and part of its head protruding from the water, and a leopard is peeped out of the tube according to the part of the water that is exposed, some of which resemble crocodiles, but the size is much larger than that of crocodiles.

The number of these three monsters is incalculable, hundreds or thousands are certainly not enough, and tens of thousands are not accurate, they can only be described everywhere.

After Wu Zhongyuan closed his mouth that was open in shock, Wang Xinran pointed to the top of the peak.

Wu Zhongyuan followed Wang Xinran's point, looked at the top of the mountain, and saw that there was a flat area at the highest point of the peak, where there was a small house, which was round, silver-gray, covering an area of only dozens of square meters, and the style was somewhat like the Temple of Heaven in the imperial capital, but it was a single floor.

After a short observation, the two retreated, and Zhao Ying and Lin Qingming stepped forward to observe the situation outside.

After observing, the group slowly retreated, and by this time the entrance above had been closed, and everyone could only retreat to the middle of the steps.

For a long time, everyone did not speak, but the silence must eventually be broken, and the person who broke the silence was Wang Xinran, "This is the altar." ”

No one doubted her statement, this was the altar, and everyone had already arrived at their destination.

"What the hell is this place?" Wang said to himself.

Although her statement was a contradiction, everyone knew that she was referring to the true purpose of the altar.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Xiao Qin asked, talking to herself, to be exact, because she knew very well that no one could answer the question.

"It's not a native species, it's all alien species. Huang Hailin said.

"Why is there a traffic light here?" Yang Yi said with a smile, and he was probably the only one who could laugh at this time.

"It's not a traffic light," Wang happily shook his head, "the traffic light is red, yellow and green, and here is red, yellow and green, which are the three primary colors, and all colors are formed by the combination of these three colors." ”

"Where are the three entrances that emit different colors of light?" Yang Yi asked.

No one answered.

"How can there be plants here?" Xiao Qin said.

"There was a small silver-gray house on the top of the hill, and I don't know what it was for. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"That little house is probably made of pure silver," Mr. Huang said, "and the silver oxidizes and changes color in a humid environment." ”

"Can I say something?" asked Zhao Ying.

There was a clear irony in her words, that she was a captive and that she was meant to mock the crowd.

Without permission, it did not affect Zhao Ying's speech, "Don't you feel that this place is very much like a military camp?"

No one agreed, but neither did any.

Zhao Ying continued, "These creatures have appeared in the literature of the three ancient kingdoms such as ancient Egypt, and they were domesticated by humans for warfare. ”

Although no one answered, everyone was waiting for her to continue, but Zhao Ying only said this, and there was no more follow-up.

"Hey, beauty, go on. Yang Yi said.

Zhao Ying didn't want to continue, but after hearing Yang Yi's words, he said, "Have you found it, these three monsters include the three major arms of the sea, land and air." ”

Zhao Ying reminded everyone, and everyone suddenly realized that the kind of monster like a crocodile can fight in the water, a monster like a wolf can raid on land, and a monster that looks like a devil can fly.

"Don't look at me, I'm done. Zhao Ying shrugged and spread her hands.

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, Lin Qingming said in a deep voice, "Judging from the passes in front, there are only three people who come in to worship. ”

Hearing this, everyone moved their eyes to Lin Qingming's face, and Lin Qingming said calmly, "They may not have come in to worship, but to control these monsters to wage war." ”

"Control?" Wu Zhongyuan interjected, "How can a wizard control so many monsters?"

Lin Qingming said, "If you want to herd sheep, you only need to control the head sheep." ”

"Do you see a sheep?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, he knew Lin Qingming, and the last thing Lin Qingming wanted to do included unsubstantiated speculation.

Lin Qingming nodded, "I saw one of the ......"
