After a while, the water level had risen to the position of the arrow stacks, and we found out why the Qin people were able to build these arrow stacks on such a steep cliff, and it turned out that there was such a change in the groundwater here.

Lin Xiaxi said: "There must be geothermal heat underground, which has caused the tidal reaction of the groundwater. That's why the water level has changed so strangely. ”

We immediately turned the bow of the boat and returned to the stone wall, only to see that the stone wall was no longer visible, and we easily entered the cave on the upper level.

It turned out that the people of the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago cleverly used the tidal effect of groundwater caused by geothermal heat, and could easily transport the things outside the cave into the stone cave that was hewn out, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

We unloaded our equipment from the ship, when Lin Xia suddenly came to me and asked me to untie his backpack again.

As soon as I bent down, Lin Xia suddenly squatted down and made a silent gesture to me when people were not paying attention.

Then he took my hand and started to scratch it on my hand.

I was greatly surprised, and Lin Xia glared at me to concentrate my attention.

Lin Xia wrote a little fast, but these words were very simple, and I was shocked, and I couldn't help but be full of doubts.

Lin Xia wrote four words in the palm of my hand: "Be careful of Miao people!" ”

I don't know where Lin Xia saw that there was something wrong with Bo Dongha, and he needed to remind me so carefully.

After Lin Xia finished writing, he pretended to be casual and got up and walked forward.

I remembered the reminder I had given me, and I really felt how stupid I was, why I still hadn't found any flaws in Bo Dongha.

I glanced at Podonha with my spare eyes, and Podonha still walked beside me with an indifferent expression. It feels like this guy hasn't changed his expression since I first met him.

This section is not long and short on the road, there are many traces of smoke and fire, now this method of building tunnels can no longer be seen, but at that time we often use this method in the mountainous area to quarry, to put it bluntly, it is the use of the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of the rock, with firewood to burn, heating the stone will expand, and then suddenly spray water, the stone will shrink rapidly, causing the stone to break, and finally the stone can be easily shot down with a sledgehammer.

After the road, you will enter a huge grotto, there are huge stone pillars in the grotto to support the role of stability, there are stone rooms of different sizes to separate, the command room, bedrooms, storage weapons, food and various supplies are readily available, and the hall in the middle can be used for the collective activities and residence of personnel.

On Tuesday, Mao said: "Where is this gathering platform, this is the camp of the Qin army, right?" ”

Lin Xia also nodded and said, "This should be the base camp of the Qin army that retreated from Xianyang to Wuling Mountain." ”

I saw that in the small stone room in the grotto, the items were placed extremely neatly, which showed that these Qin troops were not in a hurry, and there was no trace of a fight.

There was even a roll of bamboo slips spread out on the bookcase in what was supposed to be the command room, as if the owner of the scroll was still thinking about coming in and continuing to read later.

I walked to the bookcase and picked up the bamboo slips curiously, but the age was too old, and the threads connecting the bamboo slips cracked all at once.

I hurriedly put down the bamboo slips and spread them out little by little, but fortunately, the words on the bamboo slips were still faintly recognizable.

It is written about the Han army of Qianzhong County going to Dongting, some information about military mobilization, and then sending Xi Liu (water army) to Youshui to inquire about the news and so on. Finally, it was written that in July, Zong Zhengge and the county were engaged in it, and they were fooled. Spread the word one after another, and report it with other books. If you don't report it, you will chase it again. Books to words.

I went to the bookshelf and flipped through the other bamboo slips, which were basically some Tang newspapers, and they were of no special value to us.

There is a volume of chronology that we find interesting. "Thirty-two years of the fourth world."

The Qin and Han dynasties are based on the method of adding years to the emperor's name, such as the first year of the first emperor, the third year of the second emperor, etc., and these four generations should be the little emperor that Ge Zhang brought back from Xianyang.

Roughly calculated, this child's son Ji died around the age of thirty-two. That is, at this time, it should be the fifth year of Emperor Wen of Han. Unexpectedly, it has reached the period of Emperor Wen, and there is still a small court of the Qin Dynasty in the Wuling Mountains.

However, compared to the Nanyue Kingdom established by the Qin army in Lingnan, it was still much shorter, and the Nanyue Kingdom, including the Yelang Kingdom, was not destroyed until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This Ge Zhang can be regarded as exhausting the organs, but in the end, he neither restored the Qin State nor became the national ruler. In the end, for some reason, he ended up alone in the Seven Star Mountain.

Walking out of the stone room, I saw another large winch and a lift in the opposite corridor.

This time, we were familiar with the road, so we started it.

After ascending for about twenty minutes, I arrived at the upper cave of the underground cave, which was even wider, and it must have taken a lot of effort at that time.

Compared to the various dangers experienced last time, it is really unexpected that this time it is so easy.

Everyone was talking and laughing and walking into the corridor.

On Tuesday, Mao Zheng and a team member around him bragged about how they hunted wild boars in the mountains.

Lin Xia walked behind me, looking a little preoccupied.

Lan Meizai accompanied Lin Xia and said a few words to Lin Xia from time to time, but Lin Xia was obviously a little absent-minded and coped with a few words back to Lan Meizai.

Podonha walked in the front, and did not speak, but hurried away.

I followed Podonha closely, looking behind me from time to time.

At this time, there was a bright light in front of me, could it be that this is the end?

Everyone was amazed.

Suddenly! A team member in the back "Ouch! "I screamed.

I hurriedly turned around and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The team member said: "It's nothing, I looked good here just now, I accidentally stepped on it。。。。。 ”

At this time, Podonha suddenly shouted in front: "Get down! ”

Before we could come to our senses, we suddenly heard the sound of "Kakaka" from the stone wall.

I suddenly remembered the crossbow mechanism in the Seven Star Mountain that had killed those Miao women and children, and hurriedly pulled the people around me to hide in the corner.

It was too late to say that it was too late, but I heard the sound of breaking the sky, and the sharp arrows swished out of the mechanism in the stone wall with a strong wind.

The team member who stepped on the mechanism just now estimated that his foot was broken, and he couldn't dodge it, and he had already been shot with an arrow on his buttocks, but fortunately, the white dragon was not far from it, and he bit the team's clothes in the air and pulled him to the ground.

We lay on the ground until we were sure that all the crossbow arrows caught between the stones had been fired, and then we got up with a sense of relief.

On Tuesday, Mao said stupidly: "This wave of Dongha hearing is not simple, a little sound is heard by this baby!" ”

We didn't dare to stay in the corridor for long, so we helped the injured teammate and ran towards the light.

The moment we stepped out of the cave, we were completely stunned by what we saw.

I saw that the surrounding towering peaks surrounded the place into a completely isolated valley, along the valley, like terraced rice terraces, built rows of stone houses, at first glance, there are no less than a thousand.

These houses are so old that they are covered with all kinds of green vines.

The wide valley floor has crossed rivers, large bamboo forests, abandoned fields, and irrigation tools such as waterwheels on both sides.

I was surprised and said, "Is Ge Zhang going to build a paradise here?" ”

Lin Xia frowned and said, "Why did these people suddenly disappear out of thin air?" ”

On Tuesday, Mao said: "Did the Han army find this place later and kill all these people?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, you see there's not even a trace of war here, and even the mechanism just now is triggered for the first time. If the Han army came, it would be impossible for those arrows to be shot. ”

Lin Xia said: "Let's go in and take a look, everyone should be careful." ”

We walked cautiously along the valley floor, crossed a stone bridge, and came to the lowest stone houses, which were still very spacious, with beds, daily necessities, farm tools and other things without any messy feeling.

We looked over one by one, looked at the empty room, and couldn't help but be full of doubts in our hearts.

By this time we had come to the other end of the valley floor.

Lin Xia suddenly pointed ahead and said loudly: "Look there!" ”

I saw that the valley in front of us was sunken in, and there was a huge stone palace on the mountain wall, and from the base, we could already judge that it should be the same building as the stone palace on the gravel beach outside the mountain. It's just that the palace hasn't been destroyed at all, and we finally know what this kind of palace looks like.

Lin Xia said incoherently excitedly: "This... This really is a Mayan temple! How did it end up here, how did it end up here! ”
