After the two special police officers went down, Yang Jianqiang walked over.

"Okay, I'll go down first, everyone be careful!"

Saying that, he picked up the black bag and fell backwards holding the soft ladder, Liu Liwei smiled at us and followed.

I wondered in my heart, what should the old man and the woman do if you go down by yourself?

"Teacher Wu, Professor Song, you are not afraid of heights!" I hurriedly asked.

Several old men shook their heads with a wry smile: "Don't worry, young man!" We're just not as strong as you young people, but it's not enough to overwhelm us. ”

I looked at Wu Jinghan and Yang Huiling again.

"Senior brother-in-law! Put your heart in your belly! The archaeology course is not what you think, and we learn to climb while we stay in the house all day. ”

In the surprised eyes of Han Jianjian and me, several old men and two beauties climbed down very skillfully, that is, Meng Lao had some difficulties, one was older, and the other was that he couldn't climb, Han Jianli and I helped him one after the other, and the last special police officer was at the end.

It took about ten minutes, and everyone went down to the bottom of the cliff smoothly.

"I knew it was ...... That's it, I said I wouldn't participate in anything......"

Professor Gu sat on the ground and gasped for breath while smiling bitterly.

"Don't you also want to see the ancient 'cloning', don't worry! Professor Gu, I won't let you come for nothing. Yang Jianqiang smiled slightly and replied.

I see! Before, I wondered how Professor Gu was invited to participate in this scientific expedition at such an age, if he simply played the role of a doctor, he could let Liu Xili come. It seems that since learning about the information of the three Hong Jingkui brothers, as an expert in this area, he has also been fascinated and wants to come to the underground space to see the "cloning" of the ancients with his own eyes.

Professor Gu participated in the scientific expedition team, and it turned out that he also had a purpose, so what about me? When Yang Jianqiang asked me to participate, the first thing I thought of was: maybe I could find some clues along my father's footsteps.

In saying this, I subconsciously have a purpose.

Maybe only Han Jianjian is this kid "just if you have no desire"!

Professor Gu stopped talking, but sat on the ground like several other old men, panting rhythmically.

"Such a hidden place, and it's underground, how did the Dongyi tribe find out?"

After resting for a while, Mr. Wu stood up and shone his surroundings with a flashlight, and said slowly.

Ma Huadong replied: "The Dongyi people are good at bronze smelting, and I think they should have discovered it by accident when they were mining copper ore. ”

Yang Jianqiang waved his hand: "This depth, for the ancients three or four thousand years ago, it is an impossible place to reach, if you simply open a mine, I think it is ......."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Chuanqiang continued: "What Team Leader Yang said makes sense!" Maybe...... Maybe three or four thousand years ago, or even earlier, there was an earthquake in this area, and a crack appeared in the ground, and they followed the rift to get here, and found copper ore in the underground space. ”

This made several people nod.

"So, there's another exit to this underground space?"

"That's right! And even more. The other entrances and exits, like the entrances we entered, were hidden by the Dongyi tribe. ”

After chatting for half an hour, everyone's strength was fully restored.

"Maybe the secret you want to know is in this big pit, waiting for us to uncover!" Yang Jianqiang slapped his thigh vigorously and stood up to cheer everyone on.

"Good! Let's go! ”

In the past half an hour, only a few old men and Yang Jianqiang were communicating, and the two beauties occasionally interjected, and Han Jianli and I also spoke, and in addition to Professor Gu, there was Professor Song who never said a word.

Professor Wu is a national forensic science leader, especially in genetics, which is even more awesome to the height of "is authority", but when it comes to historical knowledge, he can't interject.

Professor Song is different, he is a professor of archaeology, and he entered this underground space twenty years ago, how can he not say a word from beginning to end!

Yang Jianqiang and several other old men discussed the next trip.

"Based on your understanding of the Dongyi clan, should we go to the altar first?" Yang Jianqiang asked.

Teacher Wu replied: "The altar is a must-go, but I think the most important place is still the opposite cliff, if ...... If it is really a hanging coffin left by the Dongyi people, then a mystery for the ages can be solved, you think! Since they hid the tomb group in such a secret place, does it mean that the tomb group has secrets that they don't want outsiders to know? ”

"I think Lao Wu's words are reasonable, but first go to the altar, and then go to the opposite cliff, it happens to be all the way!" Liu Liwei replied.

I visually measured the rock wall from the "stone mound" by the small river, no more than 200 meters, but at this time, I was wearing infrared night vision glasses, and I couldn't see the "stone mound", what was going on? When I thought about it, or when I looked at it at the time, I was on a rock more than 100 meters high, and the light of the two flares lasted only seven or eight seconds, so there may be a visual error.

was entangled, and suddenly remembered the flare fired by the tall special police officer just now, so he asked Yang Jianqiang:

"Team Leader Yang, I don't know if the light in the pit is extraordinarily dark, I didn't see the river and the 'stone mound' with infrared glasses, or put another flare!"

Yang Jianqiang nodded, gave the tall SWAT a look, he skillfully took out the lighting gun, and a few of us also consciously covered our ears.

"Bang!"

The whole area suddenly brightened as day.

I quickly looked ahead, and after just one look, I got goosebumps all over my body.

The brown "stone mound" appeared in my sight again, but what shocked me was the white bones around the "stone mound", when I looked at the cliff, it was only paved with a layer, and then I found that it was originally a white bone stacked with white bones, like a wall, estimated to be at least more than one meter high, and coincidentally, at this time, there was a "woo" sound similar to a woman's crying not far away.

At this moment, this sound reached my ears, and I immediately felt creepy.

Due to the limitation of his eyesight, Yang Jianqiang and his family could not see it clearly, and they probably only noticed the towering "stone mound", but did not pay attention to the surrounding "bone wall".

"Let's go! It's right in front, not too far! "I think it won't take them three or five minutes to see it by themselves anyway, so they won't take the initiative to mention it, so as not to make Wu Jinghan afraid.

Walking in the direction of the "stone hill", assuming that this section is 200 meters away, it only takes less than five minutes to walk, and they can see it, but we have been walking for four or five minutes in one breath, not to mention them, even I still can't see anything.

What about the bone wall? What about the stone mounds? I began to have a bad feeling in my heart.

"Establish, let's go in a straight line, right?" After walking for about three minutes, it was still dark in my sight, and I couldn't help but stop and ask Han Jianjian.

"It should be!" He muttered, "But I think direction has changed!" ”

Liu Liwei scolded him behind him: "What are these words!" If you are walking in a straight line, how can you change direction! ”

Han Jianjian shook his head with a puzzled expression: "So I'm also wondering!" ”

"Where's Old Song?"

At this time, Liu Liwei suddenly shouted.

Professor Song? I turned around, and everyone else was looking left and right, and Professor Song was not in the crowd.

"Old Wu, didn't he stay next to you just now?" Ma Huadong asked Teacher Wu behind him.

Teacher Wu was a little dumbfounded: "Yes! I was talking to him just now! Just a minute ago. ”

"Xiao Li, you have been walking at the end, and you haven't found Professor Song?" Yang Jianqiang asked the special police officer at the back.

SWAT officer Xiao Li shook his head and said: "I've been at the end, all I see is the back, I didn't pay attention!" ”

I'm in a cold sweat, since before going down the cave, Professor Song has looked strange, he won't hide anything, right? There were people in front of and behind the team, and Mr. Wu walked on his left again, and the two of them walked forward almost in parallel, so he went to the darkness on the right while people were not paying attention?

"Old Song!"

"Professor Song!"

We shouted a few times to the right, followed by an echo from high to low, but Professor Song never responded.

"Didn't you notice that something was wrong with Lao Song?"

After several people gathered together again, Mr. Wu spoke.

Yang Jianqiang replied: "Why didn't I find out, I always thought that he couldn't let go of what happened back then, and now he will be depressed when he revisits his hometown, it seems that things are more complicated than I imagined." ”

Obviously, Professor Song left the team on purpose, what was his purpose in doing so? You must know that in such an environment, taking off a single is about equivalent to death, after a catastrophe twenty years ago, it is said that he has more experience than us, why would he suddenly leave the crowd silently!

I'm puzzled.

"Look at my brain!" Yang Jianqiang slapped the back of his head and said to the tall special policeman, "Put another flare!" ”

As the surroundings were as bright as day again, I looked around as fast as I could, and I didn't see Professor Song's shadow, but I found two strange things.

There were no people within fifty meters of us, and it seemed that the "stone mound" and the white bones were still more than a hundred meters away from us, but the orientation had changed, and we were facing the other side of the stone mound.

How should I describe it!

For example, if you are walking towards the front of a building, but after walking for a few minutes, you look up and you find that the distance between you and the building is not indented, and you are facing the side of the building.

"What the is this!" I stared at the "stone mound" and the bones until the flares were completely extinguished and the darkness was engulfed all around me, and I shouted.

"What about people!"

"Did you see Old Song?"

"I don't see it...... How come the stone mound is so far away from us!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the altar that seemed to be not far away.

"This can't be! With the distance we just walked, it's time to arrive, what's ...... Why is it so far? ”

"You say that this is the place where the Dongyi people sacrifice, will there be a ......?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

…………

The air around seemed to freeze instantly, and there were professors of archaeology, experts specializing in ancient religions and cultures, special police officers and doctors of forensic science, but at this moment everyone had to believe in the fact that we had encountered an abnormal phenomenon.

"Everyone, don't panic yet!"

Meng Lao coughed a few times, waved his hand, and shouted in a low voice.

"Old Meng, what do you think about this?" Ma Huadong seemed to smell something, took two steps towards Meng Lao, and asked softly.

"How many minutes did we just go?" Meng Lao's gaze swept over each of our faces.

"About seven or eight minutes, at least five or six minutes!" Liu Liwei replied.

Meng Lao smiled slightly and took out his watch: "I have been paying attention to the time, from the time I left just now to the time I stopped, it was exactly seven and a half minutes. Even if we only walk 50 meters per minute, we have walked at least 350 meters. ”

Teacher Wu and a few of them nodded.

"For the past seven and a half minutes, we've been walking in one direction?" Meng Lao asked again.

This time, Yang Jianqiang and Liu Liwei nodded at the same time.

This creates a paradox! Of the two aspects, distance and direction, there must be something wrong. Meng Lao said coldly.

"You can't be wrong with the distance! Meng Laodu looked at his watch, we did walk for seven and a half minutes, and the speed was not slow, this ...... There's nothing wrong with that! Liu Liwei spread his hands.

"I've been very cautious along the way, and I'm always moving forward, and I should be right!" I replied.

"Before, the distance between us and the altar 'Stone Mound' would not exceed two hundred meters, which is also a fact!" Yang Jianqiang continued.

The atmosphere was instantly depressed.

Meng Lao waved his hand again, let's not talk yet, he bent down, carefully shone the ground with a flashlight, and then said "um", as if he had found something.

"What, Elder Meng, what's wrong with this ground?"

Yang Jianqiang hurriedly asked.

Meng Lao did not directly answer Yang Jianqiang's question, but raised his head and asked us: "Have you ever heard of ghosts hitting the wall?" ”

We were all stunned by this question, some nodded, and some shook their heads.

As soon as he heard that the ghost was hitting the wall, Han Jianli became energetic, and his mouth grinned: "I know this!" The so-called ghost hitting the wall means that when walking at night or in the suburbs, I can't tell the direction, my self-perception is blurred, and I don't know where to go, so I always go in circles. When you tell others about this experience, it is difficult for others to understand, so it is called a ghost hitting the wall, but in fact, this is a hazy state of human consciousness. ”

Meng Lao nodded: "Almost!" I'm afraid we'll encounter a ghost hitting the wall this time! ”

As soon as I heard Meng Lao say this, Wu Jinghan got into my arms with an "ah", and Yang Huiling also leaned close to me.

"Meng Lao, what do you mean? Where the hell is there in the world! ”

Meng Lao smiled at Liu Liwei: "Although it is called a ghost hitting the wall, it doesn't mean that there are really ghosts!" You see. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head again and pointed to the ground.

A few of us hurried over.

In fact, I have long noticed that the ground at the bottom of this big pit is very peculiar, with obvious abrasion marks, as if it is rubbed by dragging large instruments, but what does this have to do with "ghosts hitting the wall"?

Meng Lao pointed to the abrasion marks on the ground and said, "What are the characteristics of the abrasion marks on the ground that you carefully observe?" ”

Several of us hurriedly shone our flashlights, and the ground in the middle of the crowd suddenly became as bright as day.
