When Yuan Xiangchu and I looked up, we only saw a red winged bird flying out of the hole, the winged bird's whole body exuded a golden-red light, the body length was about eight feet long, and the tail alone was five feet, and the head seemed to be a little similar to ordinary chickens and birds, and the feather crown was tilted forward, which was extremely beautiful.

"This is a phoenix!" Yuan Xiangchu said in shock.

I was also surprised when I stood aside, and then Yuan Xiangchu said: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the auspicious things in ancient mythology are real, I really didn't expect it, haha..."

I have heard some deeds about the phoenix, the phoenix is divided into phoenix and phoenix, the male is the phoenix, the female is the phoenix, often the male and female fly together, symbolizing auspiciousness, auspiciousness, harmony.

Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, recorded in "Huainanzi": Yu Jia gave birth to a flying dragon, a flying dragon gave birth to a phoenix emperor, a phoenix emperor gave birth to a bird, a bird gave birth to a bird, and a feather person was born a bird.

However, there are countless records about the phoenix in history, and the royals in ancient times listed the totem of the phoenix as the second largest mascot of the royal family, with the emperor as a dragon and the concubine as a phoenix.

I didn't have time to think about so many records about the phoenix, and Yuan Xiangchu couldn't control his excitement at this time, and exclaimed at the phoenix: "I really didn't expect that Emperor Qin sent Xu Fu to travel all over the world in order to find the phoenix blood to boil the elixir of immortality, but he couldn't find the phoenix, but I didn't expect to let me see it here, haha..." ”

Looking at Yuan Xiangchu's excited mood, even I became excited, but I turned my head and thought, Yu Jia gave birth to a flying dragon, and a flying dragon gave birth to a phoenix, since there is a phoenix here, it must be born of the evil dragon, that is to say, in this unknown cave, the evil dragon must be somewhere.

The phoenix flew in the hole for a few minutes, and soon flew into a hole in the cliff and disappeared, Yuan Xiangchu watched it disappear into the air, and his heart was inevitably a little lost.

Yuan Xiangchu lowered his head with a sigh, put on his backpack, and continued to walk down.

After more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at the bottom, the bottom of the empty cave, the surrounding stone walls vividly depicted some strange figures, most of which are related to dragons, the painted crowd on the picture knelt on the ground, bowed their heads to worship the flying dragon on the clouds, or the flying dragon flew on the clouds, the dark clouds were covered with heavy rain, and the originally dry fields on the ground got the rain shower, rejuvenated.

We used our flashlights to shine on the colorful paintings, and before we knew it, we came to two dragon sculptures, which were extremely large, two feet high, standing at both ends of a stone gate.

The stone door is also a zhang high, ten feet wide, the two big iron rings in the middle have been obviously rusty, Yuan Xiangchu stepped forward to touch the big iron ring, the magic is that the rust on the iron ring suddenly fell off, and the two intact iron rings appeared.

"Good iron, good iron." Yuan Xiangchu couldn't help but exclaim. As he spoke, he grabbed the iron ring with both hands and began to pull it outward, and I leaned in to help, only to see the heavy stone door slowly open.

I used all my strength to feed, and Yuan Xiangchu and Yuan Xiangchu opened a half-meter-wide gap between the stone gate and entered it sideways. I saw an underground river about ten feet wide flowing calmly in front of me, and there was no sound of flowing water at all.

Yuan Xiangchu did not hesitate, wading directly forward, I saw him go into the water, and I could only follow, and found that this underground river was not as cold as imagined, but also felt very warm, guessing that there must be a volcano nearby, the temperature of magma made the underground river here warm, forming a hot spring.

The depth of this underground river is one meter three or four, we hold our school bags high, and soon we reach the opposite bank, where there is a dead silence everywhere, and the sound of our coming ashore is particularly harsh, and the echo is very loud, and it has not dissipated for a long time.

When we shook off the stagnant water on our bodies, although it didn't have any effect, we still felt much lighter psychologically.

We continued to put on our backpacks and continued to search along the bank of the river, and when we walked out of more than ten meters, we saw a narrow hole, which was more than two meters high, but only half a meter wide, and it was a very neat rectangle.

We entered the cave and walked more than ten meters before we got out of the cave.

At this moment, I felt that the whole earth suddenly trembled again, and I subconsciously leaned against the stone wall, waiting for calm to return; The dragon was turning over again, and the shaking here was obviously much bigger than outside, and I thought that I was getting closer and closer to the dragon.

"Grandpa Yuan, why is this place so big, I don't know when I will find that evil dragon?" Seeing that we have been down for nearly ten hours, and there is no progress now, it is inevitable that I will be a little discouraged.

"Child, don't be discouraged, we must first find the mausoleum, the evil dragon must be in the underground palace, and now we are slowly approaching the mausoleum, I believe it is not far ahead." Yuan Xiangchu comforted me.

I nodded, although our two families are famous feng shui, divination and yin and yang families, but they don't know anything about ancient tombs, neither digging graves nor stealing cultural relics, but now that we are in ancient tombs, it really makes me a little overwhelmed; Fortunately, Yuan Xiangchu was apprenticed outside, and he still had some understanding of the mausoleum, so it wouldn't make me scratch my head, at least following him would save me a lot of trouble.

When we came out of the hole, we only saw some corroded coffins densely placed on the ground, there were as many as a hundred, the coffins were facing the same direction, after an unknown number of years, they had already been dilapidated, and the corroded wood chips were piled up all over the open space, and only a few slightly tangible coffins remained.

At the same time, we found that the direction of the coffin was a huge stone door, and the two ends of the stone door were still carved with stone statues of dragons; We didn't hesitate, we walked directly towards the stone door, the coffin debris on the ground had already decayed, and when we stepped on it, it immediately became a fragment of debris, or even ashes, and every white bone in the coffin was the same, and its head was neatly facing the stone door.

Yuan Xiangchu and I opened the door again, only to see that there was a huge space inside, on the top of the cave, about ten zhang on the left and right, and there were dense hanging coffins on the cliffs on both sides, the hanging coffins were not ordinary wood, but transparent crystal coffins, crystal coffins were crystal clear, particularly dazzling.

The white bones in the crystal pavilion were all facing down, and the three black eyes on the skull were staring straight down, which was quite terrifying, but we didn't have time to be afraid, so we continued to walk forward.

After this long crystal hanging coffin, the front space has become larger again, from the original more than ten zhang to more than 20 zhang wide, surprisingly, the ground is full of gold bricks, the gold bricks are boxy, a piece can also weigh four or five catties, and the whole open space is paved.

As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, so ill-gotten gains, I don't have the slightest interest, just the gold bricks here, let alone tens of thousands of tons, just take a few pieces, and you can easily buy several houses.

Yuan Xiangchu in front opened his mouth wide, as if he was startled by the scene in front of him, the light of the flashlight shone on the gold bricks, reflecting the shining golden light, which was very dazzling; I am afraid that no one has seen such a scene until now, but we are satisfied to see such a picture in this life.

"Grandpa Yuan, aren't you interested in the gold bricks on the ground?" I said with a grin.

Yuan Xiangchu sighed deeply and said: "How can you not be interested, who can not be moved when you see such a scene, but we can't take these gold bricks." ”

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"If I'm right, every gold brick here is a trigger point for the mechanism, and any gold brick taken away will trigger the mechanism, and no one can escape death except for the gods." Yuan Xiangchu said.

"Is it so amazing?" I asked curiously.

Yuan Xiangchu nodded and said: "Yes, it's like I went to an ancient tomb twenty years ago, it was a Han Dynasty tomb, the tomb was all made of Han bricks, as long as any brick was taken out, the entire ancient tomb would collapse, the design here is similar, but it has become a mechanism trigger." ”

Speaking of which, I have to admire the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients, even if the technology is so developed now, but the craftsmanship of many items in our lives is not comparable to the manufacturing level of the ancients, you must know that there were no accurate instruments and electric machines at that time, but unfortunately many valuable crafts have been lost; But in other words, only what is lost is precious, and if we have mastered those mysterious crafts and techniques, there is nothing unusual about it now.

Whatever is there, if the secrets are not explored, then it will lead people to explore endlessly, and once the veil of mystery is solved, it may surprise us, but sooner or later it will make us forget.

Yuan Xiangchu led me through the gold bricks, which seemed extremely slow, maybe he was still appreciating this beautiful and charming picture, and he refused to forget it, maybe in this life, we can't forget it.

Along the gold brick floor, we came to another cave mouth, strangely, this is the same as the tomb of the emperor of the Song Dynasty above, which is illuminated by some substance, when I thought it was also the light formed by the convergence of spiritual energy, I found out of the cave that a huge bead in the sky was emitting a white-gold light.

This space is not as big as imagined, it is square all around, about ten zhang long, five or six zhang high, it is like a royal garden, but all of it exudes golden light.

That's right, everything in this space is made of gold, the pavilion, Xiao Qiao, and the railing are not only all gold, but even the flowing water under the bridge is golden sand, and there are a few green lotus flowers on the golden sand, but that is not a real lotus flower, the green leaves are natural jade, the white petals of the blooming lotus are white jade jade, the red ones are rubies, and the pink stamens are pink diamonds.

Yuan Xiangchu's mouth opened wider, and even I was shocked, and said without feeling amazed: "Whose mausoleum is this!" Plus the gold bricks outside, how much treasure is there! ”

Yuan Xiangchu's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help it anymore at this time, squatted down and held the golden sand under the bridge, looked up at the white glowing ball at the top, and said: "The treasures here are not only billions, but that night pearl is really a priceless treasure, the only one in the world!" ”

"The Pearl of the Night? Is that the Pearl of the Night? Legend has it that the largest Night Pearl is only the size of an egg, which is already a priceless treasure, and this Night Pearl is bigger than a basketball. It's amazing. "I started to get blown up, I couldn't believe it.

Yuan Xiangchu stood up, looked at me, then looked at the golden building in front of him, and said in amazement again: "This endless space contains huge wealth, even if it is death, I am willing to die here!" ”
