Since the place of sacrifice for the festival of rebirth is in this large pit, and the sacrifice here has been going on for at least a hundred years, it means that they regard this place as the most important place, and furthermore, there should be something that they think is the most important place.

After agreeing on the goal, we moved forward along the river.

Walking along the river, along the way, I saw several traces of artificial excavation, several old men analyzed, and felt that this river may also be an artificial river, perhaps the people of the Dongyi nationality inadvertently dug through the underground spring in the mountain when mining bronze mines, and then dug a ditch to divert water, so as to form the underground Yellow River in front of them.

The river flowed slowly, and it was impossible to see how deep it was.

"The water 300 meters underground shouldn't be polluted, right?" Saying that, Han Jianli took off the kettle and wanted to fill it with water.

"You be careful......" Yang Jianqiang only reminded him slightly, but he didn't stop it.

"This water is so cold! It can't really be a spring, right? ”

Han Jianli filled the kettle and grinned at us as he made a splash with his hands.

At this moment, a loud splash suddenly sounded on the dark river.

"Puff! Puff! ”

Frightened, Han Jianli even rolled back a few steps, and we were all startled, all looking at the place where the sound of the water surface came from.

"What sound? At...... ...... in the water"

Han Jianjian exclaimed, "Mom".

"There's something in the water!" Liu Liwei and several special police officers escorted everyone in front of everyone, all of them raised their guns and swept towards the water, and at the same time, more than a dozen flashlights swept at the same time, and the river instantly became brighter, and I only saw the ripples on the water surface swinging from the middle of the river to the surroundings, but I didn't see anything.

"This ...... How is this possible? How could there be animals in an underground river three or four hundred meters deep? ”

Yang Jianqiang was surprised.

Xue Chuanqiang snorted coldly: "This is not necessarily! Because of the movement of the earth's crust, there are many spaces on the earth that are isolated from the outside world, especially underground, and it is very likely that special creatures live in these isolated spaces. ”

Ma Huadong explained: "Brother Xue is an expert in this area, and he is a guest professor of paleontology in the Department of Biology of Southwest University. ”

Xue Chuanqiang continued: "In the early years, when digging a tunnel somewhere in Germany, a cave was suddenly dug out, and an animal similar to a dinosaur ran out of the hole, twice the size of a cow, but unfortunately it died soon because it did not adapt to the external environment, and at the end of the eighties, a hundred-meter-long giant snake also appeared in the suburbs of Beijing, which is said to have escaped from the mine!" ”

"You mean just ...... Was it a prehistoric behemoth just now? Han Jianli had already stood up, his face was still pale, and he asked tremblingly.

"It's really hard to say, when I entered the cave, I paid attention to the environment of this underground space, at least the air is very smooth, indicating that there are more than one or two passages with the outside world, you see that the water is flowing, the so-called 'flowing water is not rotten'! It's also an excellent enclosed space, and as long as the last condition is met, it is really possible for large creatures to live here. ”

"On what terms?" Yang Jianqiang hurriedly asked.

"Food!

"After coming down, I also noticed that although there are a small number of fungi and bryophytes in the cave, overall, there is still relatively little vegetation, so as not to meet the food needs of large creatures." Xue Chuanqiang paused, and then continued, "But nothing is so absolute, maybe this river is connected to the Yellow River outside, and the Yellow River can provide food for the huge creatures here." ”

This can be regarded as a false alarm, and further on, Yang Jianqiang repeatedly told him to keep a distance of five or six meters from the water's edge - in fact, he still needs to remind him? Who the fuck wants to die!

The further we went, the louder the strange noises came from the cave, and after seven or eight minutes of walking, a huge stone cave appeared in front of us like a lion's mouth.

By the time we reached the mouth of the cave, the river had become only two or three meters wide, and the sound of rushing water came from the cave.

Yang Jianqiang asked the tall special police officer to fire a flare again, and with a burst of light, I saw thousands of brown hanging coffins evenly inlaid on the cliff more than 100 meters high, and the shock brought by this scene could not be described in words.

The most shocking thing was Mr. Wu's apprentice and two old men who studied ancient and mysterious culture, they let out exclamations one after another, it was like a seven or eight-year-old child who went to the zoo for the first time and saw a real lion and tiger.

"So many hanging coffins, still so well preserved, it's another bomb in the archaeological world!"

"It turns out that this is the tomb group of the Dongyi tribe, no wonder their tombs have never been found for thousands of years."

Unlike hanging coffins in other places, the coffins are embedded in caves carved out of the stone walls, with only one side exposed, and it can be seen at a glance that all the coffins are made of stone, and with such an environment, there is no problem at all in preserving them for thousands of years.

Teacher Wu was anxious to go up and have a look, but was stopped by Yang Jianqiang again.

"Teacher Wu, if this is really the tomb group of the Dongyi tribe, then the information I got is likely to be true!"

Although the flare had long been extinguished, Mr. Wu always stared at the stone wall, and when he heard Yang Jianqiang say this, he glanced down at him: "What information?" ”

"There is a huge ancient tomb here, and there is an ancient well in the tomb, and the ancient bronzes and those gloomy woods found in the Yellow River before should all come from that ancient tomb!"

After hearing this, Teacher Wu was obviously stunned, and under the light, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"You...... You said before that the ancient tomb was 'built by the mountain and built by the river'? After being stunned for a few seconds, he did not answer Yang Jianqiang, but asked him rhetorically.

Yang Jianqiang nodded: "Yes!" That's what the people up there told me. ”

Teacher Wu took a deep breath and said slowly: "According to this, the hanging coffins on the cliffs on both sides are likely to be burial tombs, which is equivalent to ...... It is equivalent to the guarded tomb around the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh. ”

"So many hanging coffins are all buried? That's cruel! Han Jianjian scolded angrily and said with a slurp.

"No!" Teacher Wu shook his head, "It's okay for you to use cruelty to describe the white bones around the sacrificial platform, but it's not appropriate to describe the owners of these coffins!" ”

Yang Jianqiang also seemed to be curious, "Ao", and asked: "Is there a big difference between dying in sacrifice and dying in burial?" ”

"It's a big difference! The sacrifices were all slaves or prisoners of war, and you didn't notice that the hands of the white bones were tied behind their backs, which means that they were not voluntary, and the owners of these hanging coffins should have voluntarily followed their leaders. ”

"In this case, is there anyone who is willing to die?" Han Jianjian muttered, with a bit of disbelief in his tone.

Ma Huadong walked up to Han Jianli with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, don't you know, the Dongyi clan is a sect. The leader of their tribe was the ruler of the tribe and the leader of their spirit, as was the case with many tribes at that time, and it was a great honor for them to be able to follow their leader to the other world. ”

Han Jianjian cursed and did not refute again.

"Teacher Wu, do you think so now?" Yang Jianqiang asked Mr. Wu again.

Teacher Wu nodded.

Even Wu Jinghan and Yang Huiling were stunned.

Wu Jinghan asked softly, "Teacher, what are you talking about?" ”

At this time, Mr. Wu's eyes were wide, and the expression on his face was also very firm, he first smiled at Wu Jinghan, then turned his head to look at the mouth of the huge stone cave, and stretched out his hand: "There may be a huge ancient tomb hidden in this cave!" ”

The traces of artificial excavation around the entrance of the cave are more obvious, and everyone is very excited, if the analysis of several old men is correct before, then is the bronze mine that Yang Jianqiang is looking for in the cave? There's even that tomb in the cave......

"Huh? Tumulus! What kind of person's tomb would the teacher be, hidden in such a place? Yang Huiling answered.

"It is estimated that it should be the leader of a certain generation of the Dongyi tribe, or a certain monarch of the Gulai Kingdom...... It's a pity that for this ancient nation, we know too little information, thousands of years of continuation, there are still hundreds of leaders, perhaps one of them is a powerful monarch of the type of Qin Shi Huang, using the power of the whole country to build a mausoleum for himself. ”

I saw with my own eyes that there were so many gloomy trees floating on the Yellow River, not counting those that floated along the Yellow River, just the villagers of Hewang Village and several nearby villages fished up, there were thousands of them, so it can be seen that there must be a huge building complex in the place where the gloomy wood was rushed, and the area was as big as Hewang Village.

Walking into the cave, the traces of artificial excavation are even more obvious, and at this time, I have a rough idea of the underground space and the big hole in front of me.

It may be that during a hunting or food hunting activity, the Dongyi people found an underground crevice, followed the gap all the way into the underground space, and later discovered copper mines, and in the process of mining, dug through the underground river in the rock, and found something strange in the mountain.

However, there are still many things that I don't understand, at that time, whether it was the Dongyi tribe or the Gulai country, the population was not large, and this area was very remote at that time, how did they master such a superb bronze smelting technology, and how did they complete such a huge construction project?

You can't use the power of the whole country to build it for hundreds of years, right? That's fine, but can their leader wait a hundred years?

Just as he was fooling around, he heard Han Jianjian shouting: "Why is there no way ahead?" ”

When I regained my mind, I saw that the road ahead was blocked by the river, which may be related to the heavy rainfall during this time, and the groundwater level also increased.

The surface of the water is about ten meters, but it is not wide, and the cave on the opposite side is even larger, leading straight into the endless darkness.

"If you want to go further inside, you'll have to wade into the water!"

Yang Jianqiang smiled bitterly and said.

Liu Liwei went to the surface of the water and took a breath: "I don't know if the water is deep......

The tall SWAT tried it, but as soon as he got into the water, he didn't reach his waist, and when he walked in, it gradually deepened, and when he was about three meters away from the middle of the water, the water surface was almost up to his shoulder, and he had to fold back.

Wading in the water is not good, you have to swim over if you want to!

When asked, only Professor Gu and Yang Huiling of the fifteen people didn't know how to water, and the other old men fluttered two or three meters was not a big problem.

"Not a big problem! The section of the river that can pass without people in the middle is only three or four meters, so ah! The two brothers of the water conservancy station should have the best water quality, Xiao Liu is responsible for helping Xiao Yang, establishing and helping Professor Gu, and a few of our special police officers are responsible for several other professors, let's work together! ”

After that, a few SWAT officers took out waterproof bags from their bags and distributed them to everyone, and everyone put the bags and the things they were carrying in them.

"This water is so cold!" Wu Jinghan reached out and touched the water first, and muttered.

"What's the difficulty?" I cared. I wanted to ask her if it was inconvenient to go into the water during her period, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt embarrassed, so she changed a very euphemistic sentence.

"It's okay, it's just a little scared!" Wu Jinghan smiled and replied softly.

"Don't be afraid! When the time comes, it will be close to me, just a few meters wide, and it will pass with all its might. I gently took her hand and cheered her up.

Yang Huiling, who was on the side, forcibly squeezed out a smiling face and quipped: "Senior sister, you won't be reluctant to lend me your boyfriend, right?" ”

Wu Jinghan's face turned red all of a sudden: "Sister Ling, what are you talking about!" ”

The tall SWAT walked in the front, he was at least 1.85 meters, nearly a head taller than the shortest Wu Jinghan, I supported Yang Huiling with one arm and followed behind Wu Jinghan, only looked twice. Wu Jinghan in front of me, I have the bottom in my heart, this girl looks at it. Kneading the weak, can swim in the water, it is really presentable, and it is professionally trained at a glance.

My attention was in front, and I suddenly heard Yang Huiling muttering beside me: "After I go back, I will immediately learn to swim, so as not to be taken advantage of......

Being cheapened? It was obvious that the "person" here was referring to me, and I was about to refute it, when I felt a soft feeling coming from my right hand holding her, which felt a little familiar and a little exciting......

No way! After reacting, I felt my face hot when I soaked in the water, and after getting into the water, I clearly remembered that this hand was holding the side of his squeaky socket, how could it move to her turbulent bulge. What about the start?

But she had already reached the middle of the river, and she had to hold on like this, otherwise she would have choked on the water...... I still feel unconsciously in my heart: It's not small! Bigger than Wu Jinghan......

Suddenly, there was a loud "puff" sound in the darkness on the left side, followed by another sound, and Liu Liwei, who was swimming behind me, shouted: "It's not good, there's something in the water approaching, swim quickly...... Come on! ”

I don't care about touching any part of Yang Huiling's body. He took a sharp breath, and with his other arm suffocated, he swam towards the opposite shore.

There was a loud splash in our ears, and it was getting louder and louder, and it was clear that the thing was getting closer to us.

When I was stunned, I choked on a mouthful of water, and Yang Huiling, who was holding it, also coughed a few times, but at this moment, I didn't care so much, and used my last bit of strength to rush to the shore and push Yang Huiling ashore.

One of the two SWAT officers pulled her, the other pulled me, and when I got ashore, I gasped for breath as I turned to look into the water.

At this time, Liu Liwei, Mr. Wu, and Yang Jianqiang were still in the water, and the two of them were holding Mr. Wu, and there was still one and a half meters away from the waterfront.

I glanced at it, Han Jianli was not as strong as me, and at this time he was lying on his back on the ground, panting heavily, obviously unable to help.

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I quickly got up and went to the water's edge to help.

I thought it was just over a meter, so it should be another false alarm!

As soon as this thought came to me, suddenly there was a loud splash in the water, and I saw a behemoth leaping out of the water, rushing towards the three people with its mouth wide open. I just glanced at it, and instantly recognized it, it turned out to be this thing!
