For safety reasons, it was decided that two armed police soldiers would go down the rope to explore the road and find out the depth of the pit and the general situation below before making a decision.

"Teacher, let's go down with them too, I've practiced rock climbing, so there should be no problem." Xiao Rong suddenly said to Li Yaping: "And if there are really any relics below, I can also do some simple protection measures first." ”

"I'll go too, and I can help if necessary!" Johnson, who didn't talk much along the way, also opened his mouth at this time and took the initiative to ask.

"Professor James, look ......" Johnson is from the United States after all, and Li Yaping is not good at making his own decisions, so he looks at James.

"It's okay, let them go, Johnson is in good shape, there should be no problem." James nodded and smiled.

"Alright then, you guys have to be safe!"

Since James agreed, Li Yaping naturally had no opinion. Xiao Rong is even less worried, although he is not very clear about Xiao Rong's identity, but he can guess a little, he must have a certain purpose to pretend to be his student, and it is better not to interfere with him more.

Circling around the pit, everyone chose a more suitable position, four bundles of long ropes were fixed and left behind the dark pit, Xiao Rong, Johnson, and two armed police soldiers, buckle the safety buckle, and descended along the rope.

The big pit was really deep, and Xiao Rong and the other four of them went down until about 100 meters before they finally saw the bottom of the pit, and at the same time heard a gurgling sound of water. That's right, it's the sound of water, at the bottom of this pit. More than a hundred meters underground. There is a wide underground river flowing. It was more than 20 meters under the feet of Xiao Rong and the other four people, flowing slowly.

Xiao Rong and the other four were not very lucky, the location they chose was in the middle of the dark river, and it was impossible to fall directly on the shore, so they had no choice but to go down to the water first, and then swim to the shore.

As soon as they got into the water, the biting cold made the four of them shiver, but fortunately, the water was not turbulent, and the four of them worked hard. Finally climbed the rocks on the shore.

After going ashore, Xiao Rong and the others took a look at the surrounding environment, a wide underground dark river, flowing to the east, both sides of the dark river are all made of rocks, smooth and hard, other than that, there is nothing. Looking in the direction of the water, there was a huge corridor, and there seemed to be something in it. Hidden in the dark, not clear to see.

"Let's go. Go over and take a look. ”

Several people turned on the bright searchlights they carried, two armed police soldiers picked up the guns in their hands, and the four of them walked towards the dark corridor step by step.

Not far from the corridor, several people saw something hidden in the dark, and they couldn't help but open their mouths wide in surprise.

This is a huge underground karst cave, the underground karst cave is not unusual, what is shocking is that in the underground karst cave, there is actually a dilapidated and huge building complex.

The huge building complex spreads for miles, and the high-powered strong searchlights can't see the end for a while, and it is roughly estimated that it covers an area of at least a dozen acres. It's just a pity that as far as a few people can see, all the buildings are collapsed and damaged very badly, and they are in ruins.

Consistent with the myths and legends, this building is indeed a large-scale temple, although the temple gate has completely collapsed, and other buildings are also seriously damaged, but it can still be seen that this should be an ancient and grand lama temple, but I don't know why the road appears in the cave more than 100 meters underground, is the myth and legend true?

At this time, the communicators on the two armed police soldiers rang, and it seemed that the people above were waiting in a hurry. The armed police soldiers made a brief report, and the people above suddenly couldn't stay, and there was an ancient lama temple site with a radius of more than 100 acres more than 100 meters underground, which was definitely a major discovery in the history of archaeology.

Just when the people above were excited, and when Zhang Luo was about to come down, Xiao Rong suddenly thought of something, and shouted into the communicator: "Don't come down from the same place, go down about fifty meters to the right, otherwise you will fall into the water." ”

According to Xiao Rong's instructions, everyone marched about fifty meters to the right of Lu, redetermined the descending position, except for leaving two armed police soldiers to guard, the others went down to the bottom of the pit one by one.

When they joined Xiao Rong and the others and entered the huge and dilapidated building complex together, everyone was stunned and looked at everything in front of them in amazement.

“Oh,mygod！” James couldn't help but scream and said excitedly, "Is this the site we are looking for?" I can't believe it went so well! ”

Everyone else came to their senses and got busy quickly. Under Zheng Shuxin's arrangement, the four of them patrolled in four directions to prevent anything dangerous in the ruins; The remaining four people followed the members of the archaeological team closely, keeping them safe.

Li Yaping, Chu Junwei, Eri Demutu, James, Jessica, and Johnson couldn't wait to walk through the ruins, looking for valuable clues everywhere, and the others followed closely behind them.

After some searching, based on the building materials and style, it can be preliminarily concluded that this site should be an early Yuan Dynasty building. Curiously, although the building is badly damaged, it was built here in the first place, and it was not buried by a fall from the ground, as the legend says.

In addition, the dilapidated building has damaged Buddha statues, broken scriptures, ritual utensils, porcelain, and daily necessities, but all of them look very messy. It feels like a ruined place after a catastrophe.

A few hours passed, and everyone roughly searched the entire ruins and figured out the layout of the entire temple. The whole temple is rectangular in shape and large in scale, and it is estimated that it can accommodate at least a thousand lamas in those years.

But all the buildings were badly damaged, and strangely enough, the belongings, utensils, and utensils in the temple were all in their original places, and no one touched them. It seems that something very urgent happened at that time, so that the lamas in the temple fled in a hurry, and they did not bother to take their things, and no one came back afterwards.

"It's strange, at first glance, this is an ordinary lama temple, but why did the ancients go to great lengths to build such a large-scale temple underground?" Li Yaping frowned in confusion, and said to himself: "Why did they give up this place that was not easy to build?" This really doesn't make sense! (To be continued......)
