Chapter 50 Pit Layout
The three of them were a little surprised, just now they were outside and mentioned it casually, and Professor Gao was still asleep, this kind of memory is really emotional, plus he is already an old man in his seventies, highly fatigued, and can still have such a mental state, this kind of perseverance is even rarer.
No. 7 paused, Professor Gao's character, he somewhat understood, and he didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Professor Gao, that's the case, it's been nearly a month since the excavation here, there is no progress, and it's difficult to do it, this time I specially looked for the two of them to come, just hoping to find out where the tomb is located in the shortest possible time, after all, the situation outside is a little unoptimistic, and I hope you don't mind." ”
When Professor Gao heard this, his heart suddenly understood, how could he not know what No. 7 said? The discovery of this time can be said to be a matter of great importance, as a well-known archaeologist in China, there is no achievement, and the heart will naturally not feel good, hearing this, just smiled bitterly, and said: "Alas, old, useless, although it is determined that this is a cemetery, but the power of the ancestors is much higher than ours, good, this time I fully cooperate, as long as the matter is resolved, I will be at your disposal." ”
"Professor Gao, it's serious, before that, I need to know something, even if this tomb is secret, it can't be seamless after all, I heard No. 7 say that before this, some things were dug up, I don't know where these things are now?" Liu Yuan is not shy about it, this matter is not too late, and he just listened to the meaning of the seventh, in addition to here, there are some situations happening outside, since he is now confined to this bureau, he can only straighten out his head as soon as possible, and this will definitely be an important clue.
"Okay, come with me." Professor Gao didn't say much, his messy hair and cloudy eyes, but at this moment, an indescribable brilliance rose out of his heart, which did not drag the mud and water at all.
Out of the tent, all the way to the edge of the dark river with the three of them, the huge whirlpool here looks very weird, and in addition to the whirlpool, there are some strange white bones scattered around, scattered can not see the specific form, from the temporary bridge above the dark river, it is a clearing, previously on the cliff can not be seen, at this time, only to be shocked by the scene here.
I saw that near the edge of the cliff, that is, under the two huge inscriptions, a large area of white bones was dazzling, like a hellish scene, which made Zhang Erhe and Liu Yuan tremble.
"How can there be so many bones here?" The vision in front of me can no longer be described as white bones, and the white bones that are several feet high are like a small mountain.
"That's not the strangest thing, we've checked, and none of these bones are left by humans." Professor Gao said slowly, even if he already knew this fact, it was difficult to hide the surprise in his heart.
Liu Yuan looked at it coldly, these white bones were extremely huge, quite similar to the huge fish skeleton they had encountered in the mine before, but it was this kind of white bone that made Liu Yuan's heart extremely uncomfortable.
"Senior, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, these white bones are indeed left by human beings!" A cold light flashed, and I don't know when, the black glove was already on Liu Yuan's hand, and he was still holding a thick white bone in his hand, his eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were looking straight up.
"How so? The genetic composition of these bones is completely inconsistent with that of humans, and only the backbone, leg bones and skull are not found in any way, human bones? This is no time for jokes. Professor Gao just thought about it and didn't speak, and No. 7 also knew a lot about the situation here, and what Liu Yuan said was illogical.
"Seven, you think I'm kidding?" Liu Yuan was noncommittal, turned his head, looked at Zhang Erhe, who was also full of suspicion, and continued: "Uncle Zhang, what do you think?" ”
After a period of silence, Zhang Erhe also thought of something, calm but serious, this kind of look, Zhang Erhe has rarely had.
"Seventh, if it was before, I would have thought Yuan'er was joking, but now, there is a good chance that what he said is true."
Seeing that Zhang Erhe also said this, Professor Gao also raised his head suddenly, his cloudy eyes exuded fine light, as if he had thought of something, and kept groping on the white bone hill, and it didn't take long for him to pose a bone map on the clearing, and he was shocked and shouted: "Shark man!" ”
The merman is very unfamiliar to modern people, and some of the only information is also disappearing imperceptibly, but the basis for the existence of the merman is very accurate, especially Professor Gao, when he was digging the ancient tomb before, the eternal lamp turned by the merman left a deep impression on him, however, when these scattered white bones were spelled out, he couldn't help but have doubts about this idea, if this is really a merman, the size is inevitably too huge, but now, Liu Yuan, a young junior, also has the same idea as before, It's also a little incredible.
"Seven, remember the huge fish skeleton we saw under the mine earlier? It's a bit incredible to be able to resist the erosion of time in the coal seam, and looking at the skeleton, it's not a fossil state, don't you have a special feeling? "As a tomb, it is normal for so many white bones to appear, just like many ancient tombs have accompanying burials, or tens of thousands of bone pits, or sealed mud and molded, becoming the living dead, these are not secrets, but the appearance of such white bones, or the kind of species that has never been seen, this is difficult to explain.
"Senior, I don't think these white bones are here, if what I expected is right, the bones are soft and brittle, it should be caused by long-term immersion in water, these white bones should be something flowing out of the dark river, right?" Professor Gao nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, but these things don't flow out of the river, but from the whirlpool." ”
"Vortex, have you probed?" Liu Yuan asked, but this is obviously nonsense, such an important clue, these people are not stupid, how could they let go of such an important thing?
"The whirlpool absorbs water, but this is the first time I have heard of it, we have already investigated it at the first time, and there is a deep well below, which should be the passage of another underground dark river, and then I checked it with a detector, and there was no secret door or anything, so I gave up." Professor Gao said that he kept recalling all the things he had discovered before, but he couldn't think of a clue at all.
"Senior, let's go to the whirlpool and have a look." After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yuan still had some doubts, the white bone land should be a common thing in large ancient tombs, and he shouldn't be so surprised, but Professor Gao just led himself here, which made some sense, and he couldn't help but look at Professor Gao and No. 7 suspiciously, and always felt that they still had something to hide from themselves.
"Okay, let's go." There are people guarding the whirlpool every day, and the white bones that spew out are collected by them and transported to the place just now, at this time Wang Juliang is also here, and when he saw the four people coming, he just said hello politely to Professor Gao, and then stood aside, staring at Liu Yuan and the three of them coldly, it seems that the lesson of the previous No. 7 was connected with Liu Yuan's two irrelevant people.
However, at this time, no one paid attention to him, and even Professor Gao replied indifferently, which made his self-esteem quite hit.
"Senior, the river is turbulent in the upper reaches, even if there is a dark hole here, it is unlikely to form such a large whirlpool, and I have always had a strange feeling when I walked here, the water is sinking, and there is naturally no problem with forming a vortex, but it is strange that since it is a downward spray force, why is there such a blowout feeling, as if this force is not going down, but rushing up, senior, what do you think?" Standing next to the vortex for a while, Liu Yuan noticed a hint of strangeness, from here, he did not feel that there was a suction, but a tension that pushed him out continued.
When Professor Gao heard this, he smiled kindly, and admired the young man, and said: "What you said is indeed a problem, we have been studying during this time, but we have found a strange phenomenon, there is half a day in the day, this vortex is spewing upwards, and the incidental thing is those white bones, but then it is half a day, and the opposite suction force sucks these white bones again, so these times, I have almost figured out the state below, it should be that the water flow below produces a state of counterattack, This is the most plausible explanation. ”
The phenomenon of river counterattack often occurs, for example, the turbulent river meets the rock, it will form a huge return force, if these forces are large enough, the river can make the river impact in the opposite direction, if there is this phenomenon in the dark river below, the two reverse forces of the vortex are easy to explain.
"Senior, if this is the case, I have a guess." This kind of spitting phenomenon is not difficult to guess, but the most rare thing is that this whole pit is only so big, it is not accessible up and down, and the underground rift valley that is closed, if there is a tomb, where should it be? And just now Liu Yuan has quietly used the mountains and rivers in the ancient art to conduct a pulse test, and the vein here has not changed in the slightest for thousands of years, that is to say, there is a hidden large array here, blocking the mountain range, which is somewhat similar to the formation he encircled when he was in Shennongjia before, but this hidden large array should be innate, not thought to be established, so it can confuse the public with the same vein, or this is not a real cemetery, but a natural fortification hidden underground.
When Professor Gao heard this, he was very curious, this young man's ideas were indeed a bit maverick, much stronger than his so-called students.
"I want to hear about it."
Liu Yuan smiled lightly, glanced back at Zhang Erhe, and said, "Uncle Zhang, when we were on the cliff before, how did you feel when we looked here?" "For some reason, Liu Yuan seems to have a lot of thoughts about Zhang Erhe this time, and he has seen unknown things twice, and even if his senses are like him, he has not noticed it in the slightest, this is the first time this kind of thing has happened.
Zhang Erhe didn't expect Liu Yuan to ask himself, thought for a while, and said, "Professor, do you have any paper?" ”
Liu Yuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter, this Zhang Erhe actually learned from himself and knew how to draw, but this is a good thing, he looked at him with interest, and there was Yingying expectation in his heart.
Professor Gao casually took the pen book from a few juniors around him, handed it to Zhang Erhe, and walked to him, wanting to see what he could think, the same is true for No. 7, and even a few people who were originally busy came over.
The cliff is on the top, the vortex is in the middle, and the two ancient characters of "Sword Pavilion" are directly opposite, if you draw it like this, in the middle of the cliff and the opposite mountain wall, it is a long river, replaced by two silk threads, and the vortex is a circle, if the opposite mountain wall is also brought into it, it is not difficult to find that this is very similar to the layout of some modern mansion courtyards, coupled with the embellishment of ancient characters, the mountain wall on the opposite side has become a huge attic!
"Yes, that's right!" When Professor Gao saw half of it, he exclaimed, such an obvious layout is indeed a bit peculiar.
"Senior, if this is a tomb, you can't find the entrance, but if it's a courtyard attic, I think it's not hard to find a way to enter it, right?" Liu Yuan said matter-of-factly, but was interrupted by a cold snort.
"What you can think of, how can we not think of it? The whole mountain wall on the other side is solid, can you find me an entrance to see? Young people don't rely on someone to support you, just like no one in your eyes. Wang Juliang sneered, quite sarcastic, in this entire pit, almost every place, they have explored, if there is any hidden place, they have already found it.
"Hehe, then, have you been there?" Liu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, raised his head, and looked at the direction of the two huge ancient inscriptions, thoughtfully.
