Following the direction of Uncle Shi's finger, I saw a big pit in the corner of the wall, and when I took two steps closer, I could see that there were mottled stone steps down in the pit. The entrance to the cave is only two square meters, because there is no light except for the flashlight, and if you don't get closer, you can't see the entrance at all.

Several people were very surprised, could it be that there is still space under this underground temple?

Li Xiaobai and the three policemen stayed behind to take care of the injured, while the others continued to follow Zhang Kailong and me down the stone steps.

The stone stairs are not long, and further down is a stone path forward.

At this point, everyone's doubts have almost reached the apex - our estuary area is a plain where the Yellow River water hits out, and it stands to reason that this kind of soil structure is not suitable for digging tunnels, and there is no mountain in the entire estuary area, and there are naturally no stones underground, how can there be stone roads here?

The only explanation is that the stone path in front of you was artificially constructed.

As I walked along this dark, damp stone path, the feeling of depression in my chest intensified, and my intuition told me that the Lord was ahead.

"Look at the bones on the ground—" As he walked forward, Lao Guo reminded everyone in a low voice.

The stone path is almost covered with human and animal bones, and unlike the bones in the previous temples, these bones are incomplete and evenly distributed, as if they were deliberately placed like this.

After walking a few hundred meters along the stone road, a huge stone gate suddenly appeared in front of me.

At this time, an older policeman behind him shouted, "This is an ancient tomb!" Probably a princely tomb. ”

I remember that he was very interested in archaeology, and he usually liked to collect, and he once said that he would specialize in collecting after a few years of retirement.

Princely tombs? Supposedly, for our newborn land, how could there be a princely tomb!

The stone door had been opened, and it seemed that the tomb had been visited by tomb robbers, or at least someone had entered the chamber.

"Shall you go in?"

Zhang Kailong was also a little hesitant and asked for the opinion of Lao Guo beside him.

"If you come, you will be safe."

Lao Guo's answer was extremely crisp and clear.

When I entered the stone gate, I saw the appearance of an ancient burial chamber, a similar burial chamber that I had seen on TV shows.

"A few of you are guarding the door, no matter who rushes out later, you can't be captured alive, you will definitely be killed!" After Zhang Kailong stepped into the tomb, he turned to several policemen behind him and said.

The burial chamber is very long and narrow, and it looks like a "four-room and two-hall" layout.

The older policeman showed us which was the main burial chamber, which was the burial chamber, and which was the sacrificial chamber.

After walking to a slightly larger tomb, he was also stunned, pointed to a pile of bronzes and said, "It shouldn't be, how can there be nine tripods here?" ”

A quick addition here is what the old policeman told me, of course.

According to the records of "Zhou Li", at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, only the Son of Heaven could use the tomb of nine tripods, the princes used seven tripods, the doctors used five tripods, and the scholars used three tripods or one tripod. In the Han Dynasty, this so-called Ding symbolizing the power of the emperor was not taken very seriously, so this hierarchical hierarchy was no longer so strict.

After the Han Dynasty, many princes and princes secretly used nine tripods in their tombs, and even many landlords and rich people also appeared in the tombs of bronze tripods that symbolized power.

In front of us are nine and a half meter-high bronze tripods, which shows the high identity of the owner of the tomb.

Just wanted to leave, Lao Guo shouted: "It's not Jiuding!" You see—"

When I turned around, I saw that the place he was pointing to was the corner of the tomb, where there was a large statue about two meters high.

No way! It's so big, it's several times bigger than Simu Wuding!

The old policeman only glanced at it, and exclaimed "impossible" again and again.

Even I know that so far, the largest bronze unearthed in our country is Simu Wuding, who would have thought that in such an inconspicuous village in the ancient tomb, there is such a huge bronze hidden.

Zhang Kailong whispered in my ear: "It's not impossible, you forgot, we have seen a bronze larger than this thing!" ”

His words were like a thunderbolt in the sky, and my heart trembled suddenly.

Could it be that the owner of this tomb is related to the Dongyi tribe?

"Why Shiding? And it's too big! "The old policeman still has a hard time accepting what he sees.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned around, his eyes still full of disbelief: "Actually, there is a legend of Shiding in history - but because this legend is very bizarre, it is not recognized by historians......"

Legend has it that Dayu actually divided the world into ten states, not Kyushu, and also cast ten tripods, but later this history was tampered with, to the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was widely spread that "Yu cast nine tripods".

In addition, there is a legend, that is, "the Son of Heaven uses nine tripods, and the gods and demons use ten tripods".

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again - could it be that the owner of this tomb is not an ordinary person?

At that moment, my clothes were pulled.

There were Chen Laosan and Lao Guo standing next to me, and I thought that one of the two accidentally grabbed me, but then I pulled three or four times in a row.

Well? As soon as I turned my head, I saw Chen Laosan staring at the big ding with his mouth open, and his hand was still tugging at my clothes.

I was about to open my mouth to ask him what was the matter, when he stretched out his other hand and pointed to the bronze tripod.

I then turned my head to look at where he was pointing.

It was the side of the bronze tripod, and there was a black blood stain on it, and it was still slowly flowing down. Because it is similar to the color of the bronze tripod, you can't notice it if you don't look carefully.

Black blood? Those who didn't have pupils just now also shed black blood! My brain spun for a moment, like an initiation!

- There are people hiding in the ding- no, zombies to be exact.

Zhang Kailong and Lao Guo also saw the black bloodstains, and several people took a few steps back, although the policemen behind didn't understand what was going on, they still took out their guns vigilantly.

"Xiao Zhen, you...... You try the Exorcism Sutra and see if you can summon the things in the tripod. ”

Zhang Kailong whispered in my ear.

He must have thought of his previous experiences, and in the face of such a role, my Tao Sutra is much more useful than guns and ammunition.

Quickly taking out the Buddha dust and compass, I took a deep breath, and then recited "Ghost Man of Yellow River Town".

Everyone held their breath, staring motionlessly at the huge bronze dome in the corner of the tomb, and all the guns were also aimed at the bronze tripod, just waiting for Zhang Kailong to give an order, if it was a person who came out, he would definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest.

When I finished reading it, I faintly noticed that something in the ding had moved a few times.

After reading it for the second time, I obviously felt that my body trembled slightly a few times.

I secretly said in my heart: There is a door! So I continued to read it a third time.

As I continued to chant the scriptures, the bronze tripod shook more and more, and when I recited it for the sixth time, Zhang Kailong, Chen Laosan, Lao Guo, and even several policemen behind me exclaimed almost at the same time.

I opened my eyes and looked! Oh, my God! OMG! I saw a head poking out of the bronze tripod, it was a hideous face, but I still recognized it at once-it was my uncle and grandson.
