said that it was a shooting gun, but it was actually a crossbow bow, Uncle Tie was very quick with his hands and feet, took out the rope for climbing the mountain from his backpack, and put it firmly behind the arrow of the shooting gun, aimed at the opposite mountain wall, and shot it over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the gun was not large, it was very powerful, and I saw the circle of nylon rope on the ground being pulled out, and after a while, I heard a "beep" sound from the mountain wall.

Uncle Tie pulled the rope to test the strength, felt that it was firmly tied, and tied the rope to the end of another arrow according to the law, and shot it to the mountain wall on the other side, until he was sure that both ends were firmly rooted, and tied a rope to the horizontal nylon rope, and fell under the hole, so there was no problem in climbing down.

I have to admire Uncle Tie's judgment ability, in fact, I want to ask him how he knows the distance between us and the mountain wall now, but I know that he won't answer if I ask, so I have to swallow the question and talk about it when I have the opportunity in the future.

Yang You stood on the edge of the pit and tried the force of the rope, then nodded to Uncle Tie, bit the flashlight on his mouth, turned his head to look at me again, signaled me to be careful, and climbed down first.

I lay next to the pit, my heart was abrupt, watching Yang You slowly climb down little by little, I don't know why, it felt like crawling into hell.

I am no longer the ordinary person who didn't know anything when I first went down to the ancient tomb, along the way, Yang You has more or less told me some knowledge about the ancient tomb, and I have already had a certain immunity to the fear of this kind of darkness in my heart. It's just that I don't know why, there were a few times when I almost pulled Yang You up.

When any animal faces danger, it has the ability to predict more or less, and humans are no exception, but I am afraid that my feeling at that time should be just that.

It's just that nothing happens. Yang You climbed all the way to the bottom, and after she stood firm, she picked up the glow stick on the ground and threw it away from all around so that she could see more clearly, and then she raised the flashlight in her hand and circled us, signaling that we could go down.

I quickly climbed down, but there was nothing but the metallic grinding sound of bronze leaves. As soon as I settled, Uncle Tie also climbed down.

After Uncle Tie landed, he handed me the powerful flashlight in his hand and lit a simple torch, and the light instantly opened up a lot, and it was only then that I could see clearly below.

Sure enough, as Yang You expected, a huge cylindrical bronze body, nearly ten meters high, stands more than ten meters away from us, the copper body is not only engraved with countless patterns, but also has countless copper branches and copper leaves at the top, which are scattered out horizontally, constituting a huge bronze tree.

Standing under this huge bronze tree, the visual impact is very strong. In the dazzling white light of a powerful flashlight, the bronze leaves reflect a ghostly light, like a tree bearing fruit. But in my eyes, I felt a chill in my heart and goosebumps.

I can't say why, but I just think that if this giant bronze tree of the ancient kingdom of Yelang can cause a sensation in the entire academic world, it has always given me a strange feeling. I can't tell why I feel this way, maybe the pattern on the human pillar just now left a deep impression on me, so deep that I already feel that what I am facing is not as simple as a copper tree.

If the copper tree in front of me suddenly moved, I don't think I would be too surprised.

"Sure enough, the bronze smelting technology of Yelang Country was transmitted from the Central Plains, and with the improvement of this nation, the technology is very developed. The Yelang people worship mangosteen and tree spirits, so they watered a bronze giant tree as a burial object in the burial place of King Yelang. Yang You looked at the bronze tree and said.

"Miss, I'm afraid that this tree is not just a funeral object, look at the two stone pillars next to the trunk." Uncle Tie turned the light of the flashlight to the strongest and shone it next to the tree trunk.

I saw two two-meter-high stone pillars, each with an iron ring nailed to the top, about a few meters away from the bronze tree, but strangely enough, the pillar body was divided into two colors, the upper part was gray and white, and the lower part was pitch black.

Yang You slowly approached the stone pillar, raised a powerful flashlight and observed for a while, his face became solemn, and he said after a while: "Uncle Tie, you mean this is a human animal pillar?" ”

Uncle Tie nodded slightly, and turned to the other side of the stone pillar to see the carved stone patterns.

"What is a human stake?" I asked, looking at the stone patterns.

Yang You raised the flashlight, observed the top of the stone pillar, and said: "The human animal pillar is a stone pillar that uses people as sacrifices, no, it should be a stone pillar that uses human blood as a sacrifice and is a martyrdom for the tomb owner." ”

I was about to touch those stone patterns with my fingers, but when I heard this, I retracted my hand in fright and said, "You said that these two stone pillars are used for bloodletting?" ”

Yang You nodded and said, "That's right, you see the copper ring on this is for fixing." Slaves who were human animals were hung here and bled from their necks, and the black mud on the lower part of the pillar and on the ground was red with blood until it turned black. ”

I took two steps back, took a breath of cool air, and looked down at the black mud under my feet, if these are all blood-stained, then how many souls must die here?

"Come here, the stone pattern here seems to be a little strange." While Yang Youzheng and I were talking, Uncle Tie, who had been checking the stone pattern on the other side of the human pillar, said suddenly.

Yang You and I walked over, only to see that the other side of the human pillar was smoother, and there were many black-brown dried blood stains. I took a closer look, and sure enough, there was something wrong with the stone patterns, to be precise, they should be like some progressive patterns.

The reason why it is said to be gradual is because the content in the pattern is very mixed, with all aspects of the social activities of the ancient Yelang people, from agricultural production to sacrifices to the heavens and even wars, but in the end, it is some soldier-like characters who escort another group of people into the ground, just afraid that these people who are escorted into the ground are the slaves who accompany the burial.

The pattern stopped at this point, like an unfinished story, my heart was itching, curious about the final fate of these slaves, Uncle Tie pointed to the other human animal pillar, and said, "There is still there." ”

I turned around, and saw that the stone pattern of another human pillar was relatively simple, except that it was carved into a huge tree, and countless slaves knelt down under the giant tree, and some of their heads were different, and the blood flowed like a river, but they all ended up in the giant tree.

I had a chill in my heart, it was obvious that the giant tree in the pattern was the bronze tree in front of me, according to the meaning of this pattern, could it be that this giant tree watered by bronze has become a fine, and it is not possible to suck human blood?

I turned to Yang You and wanted to ask her what was going on, Yang You shook his head slightly, as if he knew the question in my heart, and frowned: "The description of the ancients always has some meaning, not that this tree will suck blood, for example, what is to be told in the pattern may refer to the worship of the tree spirit and the willingness to sacrifice everything." Ancient slaves could not be regarded as human beings in the eyes of the ancients, but ......"

My tense nerves were just about to loosen a little, and she let her say "but" to bring up her heart of relaxation, and hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

Yang You didn't speak, just stared quietly at the pattern of the giant tree in a daze, and after a long time, he exclaimed, turned his head to look at Uncle Tie, and said, "Uncle Tie, is it ......?"

Uncle Tie calmly looked at the bronze tree, nodded, and said, "It's not impossible, this can also explain why the human and animal pillars appear in this place." ”

After speaking, Uncle Tie walked towards the bronze tree first, and Yang You also walked over, only I didn't understand what was going on, but I could only follow behind them, and asked as he walked, "What are you talking about?" Is there a problem with this bronze tree? ”

Standing under the tree, looking up at the dark and huge bronze canopy under the light of the torches, it made the tree even more huge, but after looking at it for a long time, I felt more and more that this tree was very strange and cold.

The huge trunk of the bronze tree, about the width of a few people encircling it, was carved with countless patterns, and I looked at it and found it disorganized, and I could not see anything. Uncle Tie and Yang You went in a circle around the trunk of the tree in one direction, and when they returned to the same place to meet, they glanced at each other and shook their heads.

I knew they must have found something, and asked, "What did you find?" Is there really something wrong with this tree? ”

Yang You glanced at me and said, "We suspect, suspect that this bronze tree is not a burial object, but a huge bronze coffin......"

"Bronze coffin?" I was stunned, I was not a stupid person, I immediately figured out the key, and exclaimed: "Do you suspect that Gu King is buried under this bronze tree?" (To be continued.) )
