Zhou Yi paused, "Tomb?"

The fat man hurried back, with a hint of panic on his face.

"It's not accurate, it's like the cliff tombs dug on both sides of the ancient river, there are holes in rows, and there are rows and rows, this thing is naturally formed, why don't I believe it?"

Zhou Yi looked nervous, Cheng Zhi had already finished making the torch, and followed Zhou Yi and the fat man towards the direction of the water outlet.

If you get closer, you can faintly see that on the stone wall, there seem to be caves arranged in a regular manner, which are completely different from those on the opposite side, too neat and regular, indeed like the fat man's description.

Zhou Yi took the torch in Cheng Zhi's hand, lit it and waited for a while, grabbed out the ice arrow and inserted it under the torch, and then threw it towards it, and after nailing more than a dozen torches in this way, the entire sinkhole was a little brighter.

This kind of light makes people's hearts sink, the edges of those caves are cut very neatly, and at first glance they are artificially excavated, and there are more than 20 in each row, and there are more than a dozen in each row, and there are a total of six rows, which is surprising.

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and waved his hand towards the fat man.

"Go and inform them, protect the edge of the ladder above, and then all four of them come down, just grab the ladder and slide down We're here, there are so many caves, you need to check them one by one, after all, I don't know what is inside. ”

The fat man hurriedly went to inform him, and Cheng Zhi dragged the three ladders to the stone in the middle and fixed them in the middle with wood, so that anyone who slid down could land safely.

A moment later, a figure slipped from above, screaming as it slid down.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, glanced at Tux who landed on the ground, and asked Cheng Zhi to make a torch without speaking, and then nailed it to the stone wall.

After all, this will light up the surroundings, and the slightest hint of wind and grass can detect anomalies.

Then the three of them also came down separately, mint was the third to come down, and the last one to break was Natu, here he is a little older, and he is indeed stable, and the kid named Ye Shu has been standing behind Cheng Zhi, and Zhou Yi can't see his eyes.

Zhou Yi looked around, cleared his throat and said:

"You have all seen it, we have explored the bottom of the sinkhole, and there is a black blood-sucking bug similar to leeches in the water, don't go into the water easily, especially if you have injuries on your body, they are crazy about blood.

Take a break, and then start exploring the caves separately, and I'll talk about the principle, we don't want speed, we just want safety, and you all four of you explore together, and you don't want to get separated from each other.

Whistle when you encounter danger, then turn on the locator, we will rescue in time, I don't want you to lose, after all, you are the most valuable asset of the base. ”

Several people nodded, and the fat man began to distribute supplies, all of which were very neat in their backpacks, and the contents were also counted, and then they took their weapons and began to prepare to go up.

Cheng Zhi had already made a few soft ladders, and the four of them began to climb up towards a cave at the bottom, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Cheng Zhi threw a torch towards Ye Shu.

Ye Shu stretched out his hand to catch the not too much, and took the lead to walk inside.

The fat man approached Zhou Yi, his face was somewhat worried.

"Boss, are the four of them okay?"

Zhou Yi glanced at it.

"It's okay to exercise, a few of us weren't as good as them at the time, aren't we also here, let's go, let's check it out quickly." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the fat man's belt and threw it towards the cave above, such an action was too sudden, the fat man didn't react at all, and landed at the mouth of the cave with a snap, and a fart squatted on the ground, grinning and standing up with his buttocks.

"The boss doesn't bring such a play, my tonnage, my tailbone will be broken if I fall!"

Zhou Yi ignored him, carried Cheng Zhi and landed directly at the entrance of the cave, the torch in Cheng Zhi's hand handed the fat man one, and said with a smile:

"Fat brother, let's follow the road in front, there are so many holes, if you explore them one by one, it will take a long time, let's maintain our strength. ”

The fat man pursed his lips, took the torch and walked inside with Cheng Zhi.

Zhou Yi didn't move in a hurry, raised his hand and still drew a six-pointed star sign on the edge of the cave entrance, and then walked inside, the cave is not deep, and there is an open stone room after walking more than ten meters.

The traces of the excavation of the square stone chamber are obvious, and the spacing and width of each knife are exactly the same, such a process is comparable to the craftsmanship in the tomb of the five elements, and there seems to be a color painting on the stone wall on the side, but it is a long time ago, and it is a little mottled.

The fat man and Cheng Zhi stopped, Zhou Yi walked over, and found that in the middle of the stone room, there was a sarcophagus, which was a real stone coffin, and there were no patterns on it, and the workmanship was very rough, and it was not even smooth.

Such a thing would seem out of place in such a fine stone room.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, and the fat man looked at Zhou Yi and asked:

"Boss, open the sarcophagus?"

Zhou Yi shook his head.

"Let's take a look at what's painted on the stone wall. ”

Cheng Zhi and the fat man came over and lit up the torch, the patterns and patterns drawn on the stone wall were all a vermilion color, Cheng Zhi rubbed it, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"This should be red ochre, I don't know if you use cinnabar to draw patterns just with red ochre, it should be a primitive human who has just had a civilization, sir, you see these are some pictures and symbols, and they are all very simple lines, and there is no text!"

Zhou Yi nodded, these patterns look very simple, not counting those mottled and dropped, what can be preserved is like some characters, like dancing or hunting, around the fire, there are animal images and flowers and plants next to them, and the most symbols are similar to the ¥ symbol.

I remember hearing a friend once say that the ox in the oracle bone inscription is similar to this symbol, because this is the symbol of the bull's head, and it seems that it is already the prototype of writing.

If the craftsmanship of this stone chamber was built by these people, it can be counted as the standard of palace level, so what does this sarcophagus mean?

Zhou Yi approached the sarcophagus, looked at the front and back, left and right, and then looked at the other walls of the stone room, one wall was black and the other wall was white, and the black rub had black ash stuck to his fingers, which should be similar to being roasted by fire, and it was deliberate.

The other white wall, Monday touched the smooth surface, and didn't understand what it was for a while, the fat man leaned over and sniffed it slightly.

"Lime, this is lime, this is black wall and white wall, and what do you mean by painting?"

Zhou Yi shook his head, but Zhou Yi had a feeling that the black and white walls and these murals did not seem to be of the same age, and they were far apart.

Walking to the sarcophagus, Zhou Yi raised his hand and put it on the sarcophagus, trying to perceive it, there was no sign of activity in the sarcophagus, and the surroundings were quiet.

Only then did he let go of his hand, looked at the two of them and said:

"Open the lid of the sarcophagus and see what's inside. ”

Cheng Zhi and the fat man hurried over, and the fat man waved his hand.

"I'll do the rough work, I can still control this thing with stones. ”

As he spoke, he stood on the side of the sarcophagus, put his hands on the sarcophagus lid and used his strength, and the sarcophagus lid rose in response, opened it directly, and slid down the side of the sarcophagus.

Zhou Yi was not stupid enough to go up and look directly, but just glanced at the inside of the sarcophagus, there seemed to be only some things placed inside, there were a lot of bottles and cans, some were dumped and some were still standing, and there were a few colored stones in the center.

From the point of view of form, it seems to be placed by the method of the Big Dipper, and Zhou Yi was stunned.

Cheng Zhi also said loudly: "The Big Dipper, how is this the Big Dipper, could it be that someone placed it later, it's not an era at all!"

The fat man leaned over and glanced at it, raised his head and took a sip of water, looking unconcerned.

"What's this, you can see what age there are here, the murals are the earliest, and then the lime wall is not a thing of the age, the sarcophagus is so rough in workmanship, do you think it was made by the person who dug the stone room?

It's nothing to think about it like this, maybe it's because people's ancestors are buried here, and from time to time descendants come to pay respects, and look at where it's not easy to get something!"

Zhou Yi frowned, and before he could say anything, he heard a scream coming from the stone room next door, and the three of them rushed outside after a while.
