When he said it, my sense of fear was much less, it was just a scorpion, and I had seen it anyway, thinking about it this way, it was obviously the Gu King in the cave who was even better.

It's a pity that the state of mind at that time has been forgotten, and now the fear is more real, and the huge scorpion tail in front of you makes people very uncomfortable, maybe too large, and it is inevitable that people will have a fear of nature.

The students' explanations to Professor Zhang were also very useful, and my eyes were still fixed on Professor Zhang's calm face, when I suddenly saw a scorpion-tailed figure, and he did not show the slightest sense of surprise, as if he had expected it.

I looked at the huge scorpion tail close at hand, and my heart sank, the photo, I actually forgot the photo, I only looked at the black object with legs in the photo before it was not clear, now I think about it, isn't that image the middle of a scorpion's body.

No wonder Professor Zhang has long known that he may not be able to see that it is a scorpion, but he still has ancient books, and the reason why he is so sure that this is Qingya Ancient City must be because the ancient books record things related to the worship of the scorpion, and then contact the photos, all the speculation has become a reality.

It was already completely dark, and Ah Chuan pointed out: "Let's go, I'll see tomorrow." ”

"Let's go? Where to? Our tents are gone, but there's still a roof here, so it's better than the open air. Sun Kai leaned against the wall and spoke.

Ah Chuan didn't stop him, but smiled: "If you want to live here, you can live here, let's go." ”

Seeing Ah Chuan compromise, those students stopped one by one, I think although this place is gloomy, but it can block the wind, but look at his last smile is weird, and I don't dare to speak, I always feel that he is calculating something, he has said everything along the way, and this time it is too easy to speak.

Professor Zhang obviously didn't want to go out either, he was in a hurry at the moment, and shouted: "Mr. Mo, you see it's so cold outside......"

"Don't worry, we won't go far, just outside the main hall, just call out if there's anything." Ah Chuan didn't reply, Professor Zhang also quieted down, the uneasiness on his face disappeared, he was just afraid of being left here.

"I want to live here, right?" Lao Huang suddenly spoke.

"No problem." Ah Chuan turned his head and smiled, his eyes shining from the flashlight, like the eyes of a nocturnal animal.

"Don't go, let's do it here, we can't stop him if he wants to go out and get frozen." Lao Huang pulled me, he has always hated Ah Chuan, and his words were lukewarm.

Lao Huang went to see Xiao Qi as he spoke, but saw that she didn't even give a look, and went straight up the sand slope, Lao Huang moved his lips and didn't say anything, turned his head and sat down.

I really wanted to go out, but it was not good to save Lao Huang's face, but it seemed close to the Mo family, so I also sat down, Sun Kai over there laughed, sat down against the wall, and before his ass touched the ground, he exclaimed: "Ahhh ”

Lao Huang and I jumped up immediately, only to see that the sand under Sun Kai's feet was flowing rapidly, fortunately he reacted quickly, a few big strides ran out, and was pulling Professor Zhang in shock, the sand on the side of the wall was still flowing, extremely fast, I clearly saw that the sand was flowing into the wall, a burst of sand and dust flew up, and a shallow arc-shaped stone top was exposed on the wall, and a palm-wide black gap appeared on the wall.

There is a passage under the sand!

Professor Zhang's expression turned from nervous to surprised, Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi also stopped and turned around, strode back, the flow of sand gradually stopped, Wang Yiming took a flashlight and wanted to come forward to see, just took two steps The sand began to flow again, so frightened that he immediately retracted his feet.

The gap that was originally palm wide was already dozens of centimeters wide, and Ah Chuan took out a laser flashlight to shine it far away, and the beam entered the hole, only to see a huge eye staring at us in the dark.

"Ahh

Several students screamed in unison, and I was so startled that I almost didn't tear off Lao Huang's clothes, and Ah Chuan used the flashlight, and I realized that it was a mural, but it was just on the eyes of a character at first.

"Damn, I'm scared to death." Old Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and he was scared a lot just now.

"Go in and have a look?" Professor Zhang tentatively spoke, and turned his head to look at Ah Chuan, with a look of hope.

"It's getting dark, who knows what's inside, so don't you......" I subconsciously spoke, my heart still pounding.

It's a pity that no one pays attention to me, everyone is looking at Ah Chuan, as if he is the leader, waiting for him to give orders, Ah Chuan saw that everyone was looking at him, and showed a funny look: "It all depends on what I do?" I'm just a guide, and archaeology is yours. ”

Professor Zhang immediately straightened his face, pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "Sun Kai, Wang Yiming, you dig the sand again." ”

The two of them immediately stepped forward to dig sand, and the sand continued to flow into the hole with their movements, I looked at Ah Chuan several times, and his evil smile looked like a conspiracy, and even Xiao Qi, who had a blank face, was weird.

The entrance of the cave became large enough to drill into the person, Sun Kai bowed down, held a searchlight and looked, only to see that this was a very long passage, there was no end in sight, it was pitch black inside, there was nothing nearby, the heavy sand flowed into the cave, paved far away, only the walls on both sides of the passage were full of murals, the colors were very bright, and the mottled murals in the hall could not be compared with it at all.

"It seems that this place was buried when the ancient city fell, and the murals are well preserved, let's go, go down and have a look." Professor Zhang couldn't hide his excitement and was the first to slide into the hole.

One by one, we slid down, the passage was very large, about ten meters high, seven or eight meters wide, and when we took the flashlight and looked at both sides, we could see that the murals on both sides of the wall were exactly the same, and we gathered to the left, and walked forward while looking.

It was dark in front of and behind, there was a cold wind blowing in front of you, whistling through the hole, the wind was not small, there must be an exit ahead, and what was even more exciting was that the murals here were not individual individuals, but narrative.

"Look at these stone pillars and houses, are they distributed the same as in the ancient city?" Professor Zhang's voice was full of excitement, and he took out the distribution map he had drawn earlier, and a group of people came up to see it, and it was indeed the case.

It's a pity that the mural is very simple, the patterns on the stone pillars are not reflected, several students hold their cameras and keep taking pictures, and the ruins and broken walls in my mind are also reassembled and turned into houses, and there are still people in between, but the number is scarce, but the painting is very vivid, and the facial features and clothing are all available.

The size of the houses on the mural is not visible, if it is the real scale we see, these people are inevitably too big, at least four or five meters high, perhaps in order to highlight the appearance of the figures, the proportions were deliberately changed, I thought I would see this hall in front, but no, I can't help but be a little disappointed.

The mural in front of it has become a scene of labor, hunting and fishing, Professor Zhang exclaims from time to time, the background of these labor is all forest, this place must have been an oasis, it seems that the scale is not small, I don't know why it will be swallowed by sandstorms.

The image of the hall has not appeared, I see a little boring, Professor Zhang They are full of interest, and they have said a lot about the work scenes, from swords to fishing nets, as well as clothing and ornaments, and also said a lot of names of relics that have been discovered, take them out and compare, I and Lao Huang don't understand, mixed in this group of people feel like picking up rags in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is not a grade at all.

Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi didn't participate, looking at Ah Chuan's expression, he knew that he knew more, but he had no intention of communicating with the archaeological team, and he didn't look at the murals much, and his leisurely expression was like a walk.

The mural in front of him changed again, Professor Zhang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly beckoned: "Come and take a look at this, this should be a war." ”

Lao Huang immediately became interested when he heard about the war, and pulled me over, I finally saw something that interested me, and the image of a scorpion appeared in the mural for the first time.

It was indeed war, the scene was very chaotic, and my attention was all attracted by the main body of one of the parties, and in the middle of the battlefield there was a very large car, surrounded by veils, and in the car sat a very tall man, only the upper body was exposed, and at first glance it was a woman, her proportions were abnormally large, nearly ten times higher than the people fighting below, facing the battlefield with her hands raised, as if commanding.

Next to this cart were eight incomparably huge scorpions, distributed in pairs and twos, these scorpions were about the same proportions as the woman, twice as tall as ordinary people, wielding pincers and being extremely fierce.

It's a pity that the mural is static, since it is a narrative mural, the proportions are usually not too exaggerated, but this exaggeration is too much, it looks very fake, this giant car occupies half of the battlefield, the exaggerated and detailed depiction, it does not look like a mortal, like a god as high as a god.

"Teacher, are this woman and the scorpion really that big?" Wang Yiming asked.

Professor Zhang shook his head slightly: "Of course not, this is all an exaggeration, in order to show the authority of the leader, let's take a look forward." ”

There was nothing surprising ahead, the war was won under the leadership of the woman, the invaders were crushed and unilaterally slaughtered, and a bonfire party was held to celebrate the victory, the scene of which was particularly familiar, and if you looked closely, it was the open space in front of the main hall, and the number of stone pillars was exactly the same.

A large scorpion totem is depicted in the clearing, almost the entire clearing is occupied, Professor Zhang stopped and looked at it for a while, showing regret, this clearing is covered with yellow sand, and it is exposed, even if the sand is cleaned up, it is difficult to say whether the totem is still there, only this mural can prove its existence.

The scene in front of me changed again, the window and the stone pillar showed that this was the inside of the main hall, and my heart tightened, and when I looked closely, I saw that there was a woman sitting on the throne at the end of the main hall, the same one who had been sitting in the car before, but there was no male standing by the stone pillar.

"It's their queen, it's indeed the queen, this must be Qingya Ancient City." Professor Zhang sighed.
