Time was passing little by little, everyone's expressions became solemn, everyone invariably took a few steps back away from the canyon, time seemed to be slowed down, and after a long time, I finally heard a crash from the bottom of the canyon, not the sound of entering the water, but more like the sound of hitting on metal.

The sound came from afar and was very unreal, with layers of distorted echoes, and the canyon seemed to have become a large megaphone, except for the first impact, the reality could be faintly heard, and the rest of the sounds were mixed together very chaotic.

"Forty-eight seconds, if you don't count the effects of air resistance and the like, this canyon is almost five thousand meters deep." Ah Chuan said.

Isn't 5,000 meters a little less? I frowned, this kind of simple physical calculation is not difficult for me, if it is really five thousand meters, it should be more than thirty seconds, I just wanted to speak, Ah Chuan saw through my thoughts, and blocked my words back with a smile: "Don't forget that sound also takes time." ”

I was shocked, I really forgot, if you count the time of sound transmission, this canyon should be less than five thousand meters, five thousand meters on flat ground seems nothing, but if you go vertically, it has already surpassed most of the mountains on the earth.

How could a narrow slit more than ten meters wide be so deep? I only thought it was incredible, such a deep canyon, it stands to reason that there must be water underneath, but what we heard was not the sound of water, nor like the sound of hitting the rocks, I carefully recalled, this sound brought a strong echo, like the feeling of striking a brass bell, no matter how it sounded more like metal.

A canyon that was too deep was only amazing, and we were about to step onto the Dragon Bridge when suddenly there was a faint grinding sound from below the canyon, like the shaking of an extremely thick anchor chain.

Everyone's faces changed in unison, Brother Shen was no exception, we retreated again, but we heard a louder sound below, this time we clearly heard the sound of water, followed by a heavy crashing sound.

There's something underneath the canyon!

The impact felt like an earthquake beneath my feet, my body shook visibly twice, the sound of the metal chain crashing and grinding louder, and I could feel a giant beast locked underneath me, and it was awakened by us.

There was no more crashing, only the sound of metal and water, and we stood by the giant gate and did not dare to come out, and I could see that the slowly rising mist in the canyon turned into a chaotic whirlpool, and something seemed to be stirring.

Everyone's eyes were shocked and confused, we stood by the giant gate and prepared to escape, but the sound below gradually became quieter, there was no more impact, the sound of metal grinding was gone, the fog gradually calmed down, and returned to the smooth appearance of flowing clouds, the unknown giant seemed to just turn over, and continued to sleep, without the slightest intention of climbing up.

We stood by the door and waited for a full ten minutes, but there was no sound from the bottom of the canyon, and Brother Shen's brows kept furrowing slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's go."

Brother Shen spoke in a low voice, the first to walk in, without much delay directly from the dragon bridge to the opposite bank, the footsteps were extremely light, we walked from the bridge one by one, somehow, the bridge is not too narrow, but my legs trembled badly.

There was no sound from under the canyon, but I always felt that something was staring at me in the white mist, and my curiosity was aroused again, and if the rope was long enough, I really wanted to go down and have a look.

I quickly dispelled this terrible thought, and scolded myself in my heart, it was enough, the blood curse was about to be lifted, and there should be no more extraneous branches.

In front of us is a huge open space, we walked about fifty meters, we saw a carved beams and painted buildings with yellow tiles and cornices, the top of the nine-fold treasure is stacked on top of each other, at a glance it belongs to the architectural style of Qin, the towering high-rise buildings fill the entire cave, only from the gap above can not see what is behind.

"This should have been built by Qin Shi Huang, right?" I wasn't sure, so I asked Ah Chuan.

Ah Chuan didn't say much, just nodded, we took off the gas mask, I don't know if it was the influence of the white fog, almost couldn't smell the smell of strange insects outside the door, we stepped on the stone steps in front of the building, walked to the main entrance, the tall building in front of us will tilt, magnificent, but I know that this is not the original appearance of the mausoleum, this is only Qin Shi Huang rebuilt, no one knows what this place originally looked like, maybe there are buildings and carvings, but I can't see it anymore.

The red lacquered wooden door in front of you is simple and heavy, the delicate and fine carving is ingenious, shiny as new, without any dust, as if someone cleans and wipes it every day, not at all like it has been silent for more than 2,000 years.

It's so new, you can even smell the aroma of wood and red paint, as if it has just been built today, Brother Shen didn't stay long, raised his hand to push the door, with a slight "squeak" sound, the heavy door slowly opened, no dust on the face, no rotten smell blowing, but the nose was filled with a heavy sweet fragrance.

The main hall is very empty, only the rear position in the hall is placed a huge screen, the screen is painted with a landscape map, look at the overall layout of the main hall, it should also be made by Qin Shi Huang, there is a small wooden frame in front of the screen, and there is a huge and strange thing standing on it.

Closer to the front are a pair of peculiar bottles, placed not far from the temple gate, two meters high, and in the center of the temple is a huge bronze incense burner, from which the curling green smoke escapes, and the aroma we smell is exactly what it emits.

I can't help but feel like a world away, this place is not like a mausoleum at all, if you add tables and chairs, it is clearly an elegant living room, Lao Huang was attracted by the incense burner, at this moment he ran forward quickly, took a big puff of aroma, and looked surprised: "What kind of incense is this, it has not been burned for more than 2,000 years." ”

"It's a bit like ambergris, mixed with other spices, I really can't smell what it is," Ah Chuan said, moving the flashlight to one of the giant bottles, and his voice changed instantly, "It's really not that simple." ”

We all looked at the giant bottle, only to see that it showed a jade-like transparent texture under the flashlight, but it looked like porcelain, and the most surprising thing was that there was something in the bottle, and the shape of the shadow was clearly a person!

The originally peaceful and quiet atmosphere immediately became eerie, and Ah Chuan moved the flashlight and shone it on another giant bottle, which also reflected a figure.

"What is this, is it really human?" I couldn't help but ask.

To tell the truth, although this pair of giant bottles has a strange shape, it looks very beautiful, with a relatively garlic-like bottom, a three-dimensional dragon pattern wrapped around its slender abdomen, ears on its neck, and a cap at the mouth of the bottle, its neck is slender, and it can be stuffed into the forearm, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to stuff the whole person into it.

"Definitely human, although this pair / is much bigger than I know it is, but it is indeed a soul bottle." Ah Chuan affirmed.

"Soul bottle?" Lao Huang immediately became interested, and reached out and knocked on it.

"The soul bottle is also called the refuge bottle, a kind of funeral vessel, Song Yuanming is more common, this should be the predecessor of later generations, this kind of bottle is generally put in the five organs of sacrificial livestock, and it is the first time I have seen people," Ah Chuan said, and the corners of his mouth were hooked and smiled, "In the Qin Dynasty, there may be another name." ”

I only felt uncomfortable looking at the slender neck of the soul bottle, the human form inside was very complete, it was impossible to stuff it through the mouth of the bottle, how did they get in?

The chest cavity was full of unexplained suffocation, I stayed away from the soul bottle and didn't look at it again, and it appeared again, the jade coffin under the tomb of Taixing, the stone figurines in the tomb of the Gu King, and the soul bottle here, all of them are places that are impossible to stuff into people, but they are all really loaded into people, maybe there is really a spell in the world to separate empty objects.

There was a little more yin and evil in the hall, I walked towards the incense burner, compared to the soul bottle, this huge incense burner is more exquisitely made, the hollow furnace body is a group of dragons playing with pearls, curling green smoke just spit out from the dragon's mouth, the design is extremely ingenious, the most important thing is that it has been more than two thousand years, the spices inside are still burning, exuding a solemn but elegant fragrance.

I have never smelled a better and more complex fragrance than this, I don't know how to match it, I can't help but raise my hand to lift the lid of the stove, only to see that inside is a piece of golden-black spice printed in the shape of a plum blossom, obviously burning for thousands of years, but even the pattern is as new as when just put in.

I don't think I've crossed over.

I had this thought again, this place really didn't look like a mausoleum that had been sealed for 2,000 years, but I had seen the inexhaustible mermaid oil, and it was not so difficult to accept a piece of inexhaustible spice, I put the lid back on the stove, and saw that the nineteens had already walked towards the strange objects in front of the screen.

It was a huge square with rounded corners, three or four centimeters thick, which was placed upright on a wooden frame, about a meter wide and a meter and a half long, with a white base and two blue-purple staggered lines on it, which looked very strange.

These two lines form a cross-like shape, dividing the entire surface into three pieces, the lines are not straight lines, but curved water-like ripples, the density is not big, not small, a bit like the map of the denser mountainous areas in the contour topographic map, there are no rules, and there is no text.

The white background is also covered with faint blue-purple patterns, showing short rods or dots, irregular, unevenly sprinkled in them, like the cotton in the natural jade, not only did not destroy its beauty, but a little more wild.

Its surface is polished very smooth, but it is not as cold as stone and jade, smooth and slightly rough, the combination of the two is not contradictory at all, I don't know how to describe it, the only drawback is that it exudes a strange smell, perhaps it has been smoked by spices for too many years, this smell is extremely light, only put your nose up to smell it.

"This thing...... No way? Ah Chuan showed a strange expression.

"What is this? Jade? I asked.

"No, this thing looks exactly like the Three Realms card, I don't know if it can be called the Three Realms card, it's really ......" Ah Chuan looked thoughtful, he didn't expect him to be short of words.
