Looking around, there was only this one door in this stone chamber, and it seemed that the whole cave was the end of the cave, and the footprints were here, and the only explanation was that the owner of the footprints was hiding behind the bronze coffin.

Four people outflanked in groups of two or two, and a few of us stood at the door without breathing, but when we saw that the four people were already behind the huge coffin, when they faced each other, their expressions told us that we didn't see anyone!

"Man?"

"Did you get into ......?"

With Liu Liwei's gaze, everyone looked at the huge bronze coffin.

"Do you think he's hiding inside?" Liu Liwei asked in a low voice.

"You say this?" Yang Jianqiang pointed to the bronze coffin, and also lowered his voice.

The atmosphere instantly became more tense.

Perhaps the fear of coffins has been written into the genes of Chinese people, since I saw the hanging coffin outside the cave, my pores began to swell, and at this moment I felt my scalp tingle. What is the situation with Professor Song, why did he suddenly hide from us and hide in this huge bronze coffin?

Everyone couldn't believe it, Yang Jianqiang first asked a few special police officers to grope around the stone room to see if there was a secret door or something like that, and after five or six minutes, everyone gathered in front of the bronze coffin again.

"Old Song, you ...... Are you in there? Teacher Wu shouted towards the coffin.

Since there was no other exit from the stone chamber, and the footprints disappeared here, Professor Song's entry into the coffin became the only explanation.

"Such a large bronze coffin is much larger than the Simu Wuding in Henan, not to mention a few thousand catties! It is estimated that the lid of the coffin is more than 1,000 catties, how did he get in? ”

Ma Huadong muttered.

Ma Huadong turned around again and asked Mr. Wu: "Old Wu, as far as you know, such a huge coffin has ever been found in history?" ”

Teacher Wu shook his head: "Among the mausoleums that have been excavated, there are also large ones, but so far, the largest coffin found is much smaller than this coffin, and it is made of stone or wood. ”

Ma Huadong nodded, walked to the coffin thoughtfully, and reached out to touch the pattern on it.

"Could this not be a coffin?"

"Old horse, what do you mean ......?"

Ma Huadong turned around, and the expression on his face was a little peculiar: "In order to conceal it, there are many styles of secret doors in ancient times, some are concealed in the style of furniture, some are hidden under the urn, and some are ...... In short, there are all kinds of things, I mean, according to common sense, if the coffin is not cast so big. ”

"You mean, it's a secret door?"

Teacher Wu exclaimed.

"Yes!"

If it is a secret door, where is the entrance?

More than a dozen people looked around the coffin, but they didn't see the door, and they were wondering, Yang Huiling pointed to the lines on the coffin and wondered: "There is a problem with these lines!" ”

Looking along her fingers, I saw an auspicious cloud totem engraved on the coffin, seven or eight birds that couldn't recognize whether it was a crane or a phoenix, lingering in the auspicious clouds, fluttering like a fairyland, carved lifelike, very expressive, but I didn't find that something was wrong.

Yang Huiling saw that we didn't react, took a step forward, and pointed to one of the birds: "You see, the other birds all use the yin carving, only this one uses the yang carving." ”

Only then did I notice that only one of these birds was protruding, and the others were all concave inward, probably because they were full of patina, and the light was dim, so I really couldn't see it if I didn't look closely.

Ma Huadong let out a "huh" and pointed to the protruding bird: "Look carefully, the color of this bird is also different from the surrounding ones." ”

He reminded him so, looked closely, and sure enough.

"Could it be ......," Liu Liwei muttered, reaching out and pressing towards the bird.

"Boom ......"

With a loud noise, a hole of about one square meter slowly appeared on the side of the bronze coffin, and there were stone steps leading downward.

Sure enough, it's a secret door!

"Old Wu, is the real tomb still down there?"

Teacher Wu nodded: "The bronze smelting level of the Dongyi clan has reached such a level, I can't believe it!" ”

"Oh my God!" At this time, Meng Lao, who had not spoken, suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong, Old Meng?" Yang Jianqiang hurriedly asked.

At this time, Meng Lao's left hand was in the shape of a lotus, and there were words in his mouth, and he did not reply to Yang Jianqiang's words, but pointed to the direction with his back to the door of the stone room and asked Han Jianjian: "Young man, is this the west!" ”

Han Jianli nodded: "Yes!" ”

At this time, Meng Lao turned to Yang Jianqiang and said: "According to the Five Elements Theory, this place is three hundred meters underground, and there is a river blocking it outside, and the entrance is a huge bronze coffin, 'gold, water, and earth' are all over, and this door is facing west, and we will definitely not be able to enter inside!" ”

Hearing him say this, the other old men became anxious.

"Meng Lao, you tell me everything, this discovery is likely to shock the entire archaeological community, how can you give up halfway!"

"That's right! We're just halfway there......"

Meng Lao snorted coldly: "Do you know what kind of door this is?" ”

Several people shook their heads almost at the same time.

"This is the Yin Gate, the legend is that it is the door to the bottom, which belongs to the taboo of the living, and there is no return!"

Meng Lao's voice trembled a little.

"Meng Lao, these are feudal superstitions!" Xue Chuanqiang interjected.

"You...... You fart! This is Kanyuxue, China's oldest and most mysterious culture, what is feudal superstition! Since you don't believe me, what are you calling me to do as a bad old man? ”

Xue Chuanqiang smiled awkwardly and quickly flashed to the side.

Meng Lao is eighty years old, more than ten years older than several of them, it is nothing to be scolded by him, in the current form, among the fourteen people, Yang Jianqiang and the five of them and the three of Master Wu's apprentices must want to go down, Ma Huadong and Xue Chuanqiang's determination to go down is also very resolute, Wu Jinghan goes down, I will definitely have to follow, and Han Jianli will also follow me, such an analysis, his dissuasion is afraid that it is useless!

Yang Jianqiang walked up to Meng Lao with a smile: "Meng Lao! It's not that we don't believe you, you've seen it all the way, we've all reached this point, there must be a result, and after we go down, we have to rely on your guidance! After all, you are always a well-known master of Kanyu in China! ”

Meng Lao sighed: "Xiao Yang! This time I followed you down, purely for the sake of your father's face, I have been friends with him for decades, and I also know that I can't persuade everyone, since this is the case, let me let the bad old man accompany you next time Jiuquan! ”

"Ahh Grandpa Meng, what's the matter...... Why did you come out of Jiuquan! Han Jianli was so frightened that he was full of excitement.

"Legend has it that there are five 'Yin' gates in the world, which are hidden in five hidden places, which are the 'small gates' of the Yin and Yang worlds, which can be regarded as loopholes in the two worlds! They are the Golden Gate, the Wooden Gate, the Water Gate, the Fire Gate, and the Earth Gate, and if this is a 'Golden Gate', then behind it is the legendary Nine Springs. ”

"Old man, isn't Jiuquan Huangquan? That is, the legendary underworld! Han Jianli asked again.

"That's right! So I say it's taboo for the living. ”

After a sharp jump just now, several old men were already tired enough, Yang Jianqiang asked the three special police officers to take out the water, and everyone sat next to the bronze coffin to rest for a while.

"It turns out that Lao Song already knew all this, what is he going to do!" During the break, Ma Huadong said.

"Yes! I also suddenly felt that I didn't know this old friend anymore. Teacher Wu smiled bitterly, drank two sips of water, and then said, "I always wondered before, in the past ten years, Lao Song has been very interested in the metaphysics of feng shui. ”

Meng Lao interjected: ""Shuzang" is a classic work in public opinion, and there are definitely no more than ten people in the world who dare to say that they can read through it. ”

"That's right! Professor Song must have a secret that no one knows! ”

"It seems that the gloomy wood and bronze that appeared in the Yellow River before came from here!" Liu Liwei said to me.

I nodded: "I can see that this place was soaked in water not long ago, and the bronze and gloomy wood should have been washed into the Yellow River at this time." ”

"But we haven't seen a single gloomy log so far, and besides, where did so many things come from into the Yellow River?"

"Then there must be a passage!" Yang Huiling on the side said.

"Passage? But this is 300 meters underground, and even if there is a passage, the water should flow from above to below, so why would it be the other way around? Liu Liwei wondered.

The scene fell silent instantly, this is indeed a problem! It doesn't make sense. Could it be that there is a mysterious power in this mysterious cave that pushes so many wooden strips and bronzes outside?

In addition, there is a bronze Arhat, the stranded one is one big, to say the least, how did it get to the Yellow River?

After resting for more than ten minutes, Liu Liwei took the lead, and everyone continued to walk down the stone steps.

The stone steps are about fifty meters, because they are inclined, it is estimated that the straight line distance up and down is only thirty or forty meters, and the stone steps are actually a large passage similar to a canyon after the end, and the narrow place is more than ten meters, and the width is not visible under the illumination of the flashlight.

Xue Chuanqiang almost fell, and after standing firm, he exclaimed, "Oh my God! Over here...... This is an underground canyon, that is, a crack between the earth's crust, and it seems that the people of the Dongyi tribe inadvertently dug this underground canyon while mining. ”

I don't know what an underground canyon is, but it's amazing to see that there's another space underneath the subterranean space.

The road on the ground was also uneven, and it was very difficult to walk, and after walking for less than five minutes, several old men had fallen several times, and then they heard the sound of rushing water in front of them.

"There's water!"

"Maybe it's an underground river again!"

What surprised me was not the sound of water, but the faint light in the distance, and it was estimated that their eyesight was not as good as mine, and they could not see.

"I see ...... ahead"

I was just halfway through my sentence when I heard a voice calling my name in the darkness on one side.

"Liu Ludong! Liu Ludong! ”

The voice is shrill and somewhat kawaii.

My scalp tingled, and I quickly turned to the source of the sound. It seems that on my left, with a flashlight, it is a pile of rubble one person high, and after looking at it twice, I realized that this is three or four hundred meters deep underground, and in such an isolated space, how can there be people, and they still know who I am.

My heart pounded, pounding, and then I thought about it, this is absolutely impossible! It must have been a high degree of nervous tension along the way, and there were auditory hallucinations.

"Lu Dong, what are you photographing? What happened earlier? Half the talk! Wu Jinghan pulled my arm and asked softly.

I turned my face and forced a smile: "It's okay! I see a light ahead!"

"There is light?"

Yang Jianqiang stood on tiptoe, looked ahead, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"This is the place of the ...... How can there be light in the true evil sect! He shook his head and smiled at me again, "Brother, I'm not questioning your eyesight!" Just think it's weird. ”

Xue Chuanqiang walked over and said softly: "What's strange, there are many magical things about nature, many of which have not yet been experienced by the current human beings, especially the depths of the underground and the depths of the ocean—have you felt that the temperature is significantly higher than before?" ”

As soon as he said this, several other people chimed in.

"Really, I'm sweating on my forehead!"

"I thought this journey was too fast!"

At this time, it is the end of autumn, although the autumn tiger is often hot for a few days, but the temperature of the underground space is obviously several degrees lower than that on the ground, especially when she came up from the water just now, Wu Jinghan was shivering with cold, if it weren't for the presence of so many people, I would like to hold her in my arms and carry her away.

But at this moment, they all took off their shirts and jackets, and under the light of the flashlight, everyone had beads of sweat on their faces. I also feel that the air is hot and dry.

"Lao Xue, you have something to say at once, why has the temperature risen?"

Ma Huadong urged.

"I observed all the way, and according to the rock characteristics of this road, if I judged correctly, this is an underground canyon formed by volcanic activity, which caused the movement of the earth's crust, and the reason for the gradual increase in temperature is that we are getting closer and closer to the crater at this time."

"Ahh Volcano?"

Han Jianli jumped up suddenly.

"However, don't worry, the volcanoes in our area have not been active for at least thousands of years, and there is no sign of activity at present, maybe just some magma is still active."

Then I heard a voice calling my name from the direction of the pile of rocks, this time more clearly than before, and the voice was very high-pitched, like a cartoon character from some cartoon. What's going on? Reason told me that there could be no one over there, but the voice was very real, and I subconsciously turned around and shone the flashlight at the rocks again.

"Xiao Liu, you took two photos before and after, what's the matter?"

Yang Jianqiang asked me softly.

"O'...... Team Leader Yang, do you hear any voices over there? ”

"Voice?" Yang Jianqiang glanced in the direction I was looking just now, "No! You...... Do you hear any sounds? ”

After a moment's hesitation, I decided to speak up.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, just now twice in a row, I heard a voice over there calling my name!"

"Ahh Lu Dong, you ......" Wu Jinghan suddenly tightened my arm, and Han Jianli also let out an "ah". Turn around and look over there.

Everyone looked over there.
