Cao Fenghua looked at Uncle Xu, and when he nodded in agreement, he didn't say anything, and let a few of us join the team and walk in the middle.

Since Uncle Xu and Mo Ji did not have any opinions on Cao Fenghua's arrangement, they began to implement it according to Cao Fenghua's plan.

I don't care about what Cao Fenghua said. Because if there is a mechanism here, all the stairs need to be broken in the process, and at the current level, I don't think anyone will be able to survive unless a miracle happens.

The stairs in this pit are made up of iron chains and wooden planks. The chains used as skeletons are still very strong, but the planks used as steps are not necessarily the same. Wood is sometimes just a hundred years old and it doesn't look like it, but it depends on the environment. However, we are still very worried, after all, more than 2,000 years have passed, who can play this package ticket? But for the time being, the planks still look intact.

Go down the stairs step by step, but every step is worrying, who knows if these things that seem to be in good condition will break, even if the people in front have stepped on them, the people behind are not necessarily safe.

We walked down the spiral stairs for about twenty minutes, and finally came to the bottom of the pit. Now we are less than a few meters from the bottom of the pit. Someone shone a flashlight at the pit, and immediately exclaimed: "It's a bone!" It's human bones! ”

We also hurriedly looked over with flashlights, and as the man shouted, there were human bones everywhere we looked.

We briefly communicated and decided to move on to see what was going on down there and why there were so many human bones.

By the time we reached the end, the signal rod that had been thrown at the bottom of the pit had long been extinguished. Therefore, Cao Fenghua and the others, who were walking in front, threw out five more, which were different from far and near, and suddenly illuminated a large range.

This time, we can see it clearly. There were still steps under our feet, as if they were not finished, but we could not go any further, because our feet were covered with human bones.

The bottom of this pit is about the size of half a football field, but it is covered with countless skeletons, and there is not only one layer, those skeletons are stacked at the bottom of the pit in a haphazard manner, I don't know how many layers, I don't know how many people. Even Professor Jin, who was accustomed to seeing ancient corpses, couldn't help but be moved.

"Why are there so many skeletons here? Don't...... Could it be Cao Xuan and their guys? The jar spoke up.

"How is that possible? Cao Xuan, he brought the troops here to hunt for treasure, not to fight, and it was impossible to bring a large army into the mountains, at most a few hundred people. Look at the dense bones here, layer by layer, I don't know how many there are below? It could never be Cao Xuan's people! I said, "Besides, you can see that they have almost no clothes on them, and they are completely weathered." This is enough to show that the time for them to die is by no means too short. ”

"That'...... So who are these? "Liang Youcai has seen a lot of dead people who have followed his uncle all these years, but he has never encountered so many corpses and bones at the same time.

I said to Tanzi, "Do you remember what Professor Jin said when we asked Professor Jin for advice earlier? I looked at Professor Jin as I spoke.

Professor Jin was holding a skull in his hand, and he also looked thoughtful over there: "The skeletons here, at such a glance, must have tens of thousands." Xiao Pei is right, there is indeed this possibility, and it is very possible. ”

"What is very likely? What are you talking about? "The jar is still unknown.

I explained to Tanzi: "Didn't Professor Jin tell us at that time? At that time, Xu Fu took more than 100,000 troops to the north of Guilin and the south of Bashu, and then disappeared......"

The altar suddenly understood: "You mean these skeletons are the more than 100,000 people?" ”

"Nine times out of ten!" Professor Jin said.

"There are 100,000 people here...... said to himself, and suddenly he asked again, "Didn't you say that these people were surrendered?" Why don't you see any armor? Clothes made of cloth can be completely weathered, but there must be something left behind in the armor, right? ”

"Big brother, these are captives!" I said to the jar.

"What happened to the captives? I watched that the captives in the TV series also had armor, and although they looked a little embarrassed, they were still somewhat ...... in their clothes," Tanzi said.

"Big brother, these captives were captured here to build a palace. How is it possible to make them wear armor when they are working? Carrying something so heavy will affect work efficiency! I explained.

"Oh~" The altar finally understood.

At this time, I walked up to Professor Jin and asked, "Professor, why do you say you want to kill all these people here?" Back then, Wu Anjun killed 400,000 Zhao troops in a pit, one was to deter, and the other was to weaken the strength of Zhao. However, when Xu Fujian's palace and the underground palace were close to the unification of the world, there was no need for this, right? ”

"This ......" Professor Jin looked at the accumulated white bones and said, "I'm just guessing, there are probably several reasons. ”

"Which ones? Professor Jin, let's hear it! Jar said. Cao Fenghua, Lu Daxun and Liang's uncle and nephew next to him also came over.

Professor Jin said: "First, these people have fulfilled their mission and are useless. These more than 100,000 captives, if they take the north, consume too much food, and the gains outweigh the losses; released on the spot, fearing that they would return to their own country and continue to cause trouble; So it's still like Bai Qi's practice back then, and kill them all to prevent future troubles. ”

"More than 100,000 people! How did they kill? Cao Fenghua asked, "Won't these people resist?" ”

Professor Jin said: "Of course it's not hard! It must have been a stratagem, such as tricking into here in batches, and then focusing on slaughter. You look at this staircase from top to bottom, once a person goes down to the bottom, how many people can run up? Not a lamb to the slaughter? ”

"And what about the second point?" I asked.

"The second is anti-theft!" Professor Jin said.

"Anti-theft?"

"That's right!" Professor Jin said, "The reason why Xu Fu chose to build a palace in the Hidden Fog Mountain where 'ten people come in and nine don't return' is because he doesn't want the world to know. These prisoners of war participated in the construction of the palace and the underground palace, and learned not only the exact location of the palace, but also the facilities and mechanisms inside...... Do you say, they might be left behind? ”
