My head grew when I heard the conversation between several people, isn't this nonsense! Yao Shunyu's era is the late stage of primitive society, according to their meaning, this underground tunnel with a length of more than five miles, isn't it dug by a group of big monkeys leading small monkeys?

"No cell phone signal!!" Suddenly, Wu Jinghan said "oops", "Why is it half past four in the afternoon?" I seem to have a problem with the time on my phone! ”

A few of us quickly took out our phones.

"Damn! It says on my phone it's one o'clock in the middle of the night. ”

"Mine is half past eight in the morning!"

I remember when we went down the cave, I took a special glance at my phone, it was 9:13 in the morning, I had been in the tunnel for less than two hours, so I speculated that it should be around 11 o'clock in the morning, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with everyone's mobile phone at this moment.

"There should be a strong magnetic interference in the vicinity, causing all the electronic equipment to malfunction!"

Han Jianjian asked: "What's so powerful, not only does it make the compass malfunction, block the mobile phone signal, but also mess up the time on the mobile phone, which is also a fork!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Lao snorted coldly: "At a critical time, the things invented by our ancestors are useful!" As he spoke, he flashed the mechanical watch on his wrist.

Teacher Wu shone the darkness around him with a flashlight, and said slowly: "Maybe there is a huge bronze mine down here, so that it can explain why such a large magnetic field can be generated, and the reason why so many bronzes have been washed on the Yellow River beach." ”

"Old Wu, are you saying that this underground space is a mine for the ancients to collect bronze?" Xue Chuanqiang was surprised.

"It can't be! Except for the long tunnel, there is no trace of artificial excavation in the surrounding area, and the amount of work in such a large underground space is much larger than that of the Egyptian pyramids and the Great Wall, absolutely impossible! Before Mr. Wu could answer, he was casually retorted by Ma Huadong.

Teacher Wu nodded slightly: "Lao Ma is right, I don't believe that the ancients couldn't dig such a large underground space, but maybe there is another possibility, they accidentally discovered this place." ”

As soon as these words came out, several other people nodded their heads again and again.

"According to this reasoning, it must be the Dongyi tribe who discovered this underground space, at that time this area belonged to the territory of the Gulai Kingdom, that is to say, the people of the Gulai Kingdom opened a bronze mine here, but who taught them such superb bronze smelting techniques?"

Xue Chuanqiang's words silenced everyone.

That's right! This is really a thing, it is said that the human beings of that era have just escaped from their dreams, just got rid of the life of drinking blood, and it is impossible to smelt so many and so delicate bronzes.

After resting for more than ten minutes, everyone drank some water and continued on their way.

Just after walking a few steps, Yang Jianqiang stopped everyone again, and he cleared his throat:

"Ladies and gentlemen, as I said before, our scientific expedition team is here with a mission, since it has gathered experts from different fields, that is, it is thinking about archaeology, ancient sects. Since we have all arrived here, I might as well tell you clearly that the task of our provincial special case team this time is to find an answer, according to the information obtained before, this underground space is likely to be related to a lost ancient civilization, and it is very likely that there is a terrible virus hidden, so after everyone goes out, everything about this operation cannot be told to anyone, not even their own parents or children, otherwise ......"

In the second half of the sentence, Yang Jianqiang swallowed back into his stomach, and instead glanced at the three special police officers with guns.

I chuckled in my heart, is this a threat? No wonder the team of fifteen people arranged three special police, I estimate that these three special police officers, plus Liu Liwei and Yang Jianqiang, can easily subdue ten of us even with empty hands.

Han Jianjian, who was beside me, scolded secretly, but several old men did not change their faces, as if Yang Jianqiang's words just now had nothing to do with them.

I don't know if it's the reason why Yang Jianqiang said this, but if you go further, the atmosphere will change, and no one will take the initiative to speak except for discussing what to do next.

"Professor Song, do you still remember how you left back then?"

After walking for more than ten minutes, Professor Song stopped several times, looking at the darkness around him, as if he was looking for a way, Yang Jianqiang finally lost his breath.

"I still feel a little familiar with that section just now, but now I am a little uncertain, I remember that we first passed through a section of the road scattered with porcelain pieces on the ground, and then saw a big stone, it is said that we should have seen that big stone at this time!"

His words made my heart chill, milk. Milky, does that mean lost?

However, there is a stranger feeling than getting lost, Professor Song has always given me a feeling of "being a master outside the world", but since I came to the Yellow River this morning, I have been unable to give up, and I have swallowed my words. Spit and spit.

Is he the only one who thinks he's a little strange? Just wondering, Mr. Wu opened his mouth: "Huh? I said Lao Wu, something is wrong? ”

may have learned that he was lost, and other people's faces also showed nervous expressions, and when they heard Mr. Wu say this, they all looked at him.

"I just wanted to ask, why didn't you tell me before, Old Song, that there are bronze chains embedded in the stone steps after entering the cave, you ...... You should be able to see that the chain is more than 2,000 years old, and it is very helpful for the study of ancient bronze smelting technology, and you didn't say that there is a strong magnetic field interference in this underground space......"

Before he finished speaking, Professor Song shook his head expressionlessly: "I was in a hurry back then, I didn't notice that there were bronze chains, and there was always someone to lead the way, and I didn't know that there was such a powerful magnetic field here." ”

As a professional archaeology professor, seeing a bronze chain with a history of two or three thousand years should be extremely shocking, how could he not pay attention? Besides, even if someone led the way, even if the person who led the way had a detailed map in his hand, in such a dark and boundless environment, without the help of a compass, it was almost like a headless fly.

The scientific expedition team back then, no matter who had used tools such as a compass, saw that he was disturbed by a strong magnetic field, his reaction should be the same as that of Meng Lao just now, or even more exaggerated.

In this way, everyone will know that the compass and electronic devices are malfunctioning in this underground space. Will he not know?

When I was distracted, I saw one of the special police officers take out a few red glasses from their bags, put on one pair for each of them, and handed one pair to Yang Jianqiang and Liu Liwei, and the other two pairs to Professor Song and Meng Lao.

"Holy! It's so dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses, this is handsome! ”

It was obvious that Han Jianjian was emotional.

Yang Jianqiang was not angry, and snorted coldly: "Boy, this is called infrared night vision goggles." ”

"O - the night vision goggles in American blockbusters?"

"Almost! But the effect is not so exaggerated. ”

A few people wearing infrared glasses looked around, and they didn't seem to notice anything.

At this time, Yang Jianqiang walked to Han Jianjian's side and me: "Two, it's your turn to show your skills!" ”

"We?" I pointed at Han Jianjian, feeling confused.

"Yes!" As he spoke, he took off his glasses and handed them to me, "Little brother, put on these glasses and look around to see what you find?" ”

I see, I remember when I was invited to join the expedition team, he said that my extraordinary sensory abilities and strength may be able to play a role at a critical moment.

Buckle up my glasses, and suddenly the surroundings are clearly clear, and I can actually see at least five or six hundred meters in such a dark environment, which is really a good thing! Glancing around, there was nothing in three directions, and some protrusions were faintly visible on my left front side, judging by the distance, the height was obviously higher than Yao Ming, and the shorter one was not as good as Zeng Zhiwei, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't see what it was.

Perhaps seeing me staring at the left front side and not moving, Yang Jianqiang hurriedly asked, "How?" What have you discovered! ”

I pointed, "There's something protruding somewhere!" ”

Yang Jianqiang asked Han Jianli again: "Brother, what direction is that?" ”

Han Jianjian didn't think about it, and replied: "Due south!" ”

"Due south? In this way, we have reached the bottom of the hilly area on the west side of the Yellow River at this time! He muttered to himself.

Next, I didn't need Professor Song to lead the way, but I walked straight to the protrusion.

Ten steps, twenty steps, fifty steps, one hundred steps...... I gradually saw what those protrusions of different sizes were, and the statues of all kinds of animals, to be precise, were made of stone, carved vividly, and looked like they were alive from afar.

"I can see clearly, it's animal stone carvings, a lot!"

I paused, pointed ahead and shouted.

"Animal stone carvings? What kind of animal stone carving? Yang Jianqiang gasped and wondered.

"Yes...... There are cows, horses, and camels, and there are many types! I replied as I recognized.

The others, especially those with red and ultraviolet glasses, had their necks stretched out, and they couldn't see anything by looking at their expressions.

After walking for another three or four minutes, I was already stunned by the hundreds of animal stone sculptures, and the others also exclaimed.

"So many stone carvings?"

"The level of carving is not low!"

At the front is a stone horse, about the size of a real horse, and although half of its body is rotten, it can be seen that the whole horse is carved out of a large piece of brown stone covered with spots, and this horse is evenly carved, with slender front legs and expressive eyes.

"This horse is carved with granite, from the Han Dynasty to the first half of the Tang Dynasty, it is often put two stone horses in front of the tomb to guard the Yin House, but the horses of the Han Dynasty are fat and strong, and the limbs are short, and this style has continued until the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty."

Ma Huadong pointed to the broken stone horse and said.

Further on, stone oxen, stone donkeys, and a small number of dogs and pigs are all domestic animals, about three meters tall and less than one meter short, and they are basically damaged, but it is obvious that each animal is carved from a single stone.

"Professor Song, didn't you see these stone carvings back then?" Yang Jianqiang asked.

Professor Song shook his head.

"It's no wonder that this underground space is much larger than the information described, and the possibility of going the same way twice is too small!" After speaking, he asked the other old men, "Professors, can you tell what this stone sculpture is about?"

Ma Huadong and Xue Chuanqiang have been lying on the stone carving, looking at this statue for a while, and looking at that for a while, their excitement is overflowing.

Hearing Yang Jianqiang's question, Ma Huadong turned around and said with a grin on the corner of his mouth: "It should be related to the sacrificial activities in ancient times!" If I'm not mistaken, this is a sacrificial ground for the Dongyi people to pray for a good harvest from their sun god, Ulu. ”

Xue Chunshan also said excitedly: "Yes! Right! This can be regarded as confirming that the legend that during the Xia and Shang periods, the Dongyi people used stone carvings of domestic animals to sacrifice to the sun god is true! It's worth it! ”

Meng Lao asked Liu Liwei and two special police officers to help him stand on a big rock, and after looking around, his body began to tremble, I estimate that if it wasn't for a few people supporting him, he would have fallen on his back to the sky.

"This stone carving is not casually, it is in accordance with the principle of Yin and Yang Bagua, containing the Tao of the Five Elements, which shows that the Yin and Yang Bagua and the Five Elements principle were mastered long before King Wen of Zhou, which also indirectly confirms that the origin legend of the Book of Changes is fake.

"Oh! What legend? Han Jianjian accosted him appropriately.

"According to part of the history books. It is recorded that the Book of Changes was written by King Wen of Zhou when he was imprisoned by King Shang, but this livestock sacrifice ground existed even earlier than that, isn't it obvious? ”

Also excited was Mr. Wu, who pointed to a stone ox and shouted excitedly at us, "Come and see, what is this!" ”

We hurriedly approached and saw Mr. Wu pointing to a symbol on the belly of the stone ox, which was obviously not a text, the top was an oval sun, the middle one was like a flat boat, and the bottom seemed to be a mountain.

"Is this what ......?"

Ma Huadong was stunned, and shouted in a trembling voice.

"That's right! This is the mysterious symbol of the Dongyi people, 'Riwu Mountain Fire', from which it can be concluded that this underground space is the place where the Dongyi people were active in ancient times, which ...... That's one of the biggest things in archaeology. Discover! ”

As I listened to them, I stole a glance at Professor Song. Professor Song's face turned pale, and he just stood on the side and stared at them coldly. Strange! Professor Song has studied archaeology all his life, shouldn't he be as excited as the other three old men at this moment?

I was about to ask, when I heard a "woo woo woo" sound, like a woman crying. It's underground...... My scalp was numb, and when the words came to my mouth, I immediately changed the conversation: "Listen, it seems to be crying!" ”

All of a sudden, several people looked at me.

"What...... What crying? Han Jianli grabbed my arm in fright, and Wu Jinghan also approached me and looked around in a panic.

"Brother, where is the sound?" Liu Liwei smiled bitterly.

"Young man, it's normal for young people to be nervous when they see this scene, don't be suspicious!"

I closed my eyes and listened carefully, pointing to the side: "Listen carefully, the sound is intermittent, coming from that side...... Like a woman whining and crying, like someone whispering...... It's not loud, but it's absolutely right! ”

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

Hearing me say this, Liu Liwei may realize that I am not a suspicious ghost, and his brows tightened.

Ma Huadong, Xue Chuanqiang, and Teacher Wu hurriedly took a few photos of the stone carving and followed closely.
