Yan Liuyan's words made An Ran and the others a little scared, Xia Shuang frowned and said: "Yan Liuyan, don't confuse the public with that demon, where is there any underworld, it's just a legend." ”

Yan Liuyan said: "Since the Yin Bees exist, what is so strange about the existence of the underworld? ”

As he spoke, the dark surroundings suddenly brightened, and everyone noticed that the yin bees had burrowed into some lanterns suspended in mid-air, and there seemed to be some kind of glass-like object in the lanterns, expanding the range of light.

"It's really a city." Tang Qianlin stood there stunned, looking at the buildings in front of him that were not compact, but all of them were built on the water.

The city wall is located next to the right side of the building, but the wall of the city wall is uneven, and many places are zigzag and sloping.

Li Qingxiang walked along the city wall, then turned his head and said: "The south is like the South Dou, and the North is like the Beidou, this is the way Chang'an City was built in the Han Dynasty." ”

Yan Liuyan frowned: "Han Chang'an? How can it be? ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the buildings around him, but the style of the buildings was not the style of the Han Dynasty, in other words, it should be said that all the later buildings in China were handed down from the Qin and Han dynasties, but each dynasty had its own unique style and style.

The strange thing is that every building is almost identical, they are all small houses, there are windows but no doors, and in the center of each house there is a huge banyan tree, and the branches of the banyan tree are hung with bronze lanterns of the same size.

The yin bees either burrowed into the lantern or circled around it.

The place in front of me that looks like a city but is not a city is not beautiful, because the reason why the yin bee emits green light, on the contrary, it makes people feel very weird.

Tang Qianlin looked at the scattered crowd and immediately beckoned: "Don't separate, get together, I don't know what else is here, be careful." ”

Except for Yan Liuyan, the rest of the people all gathered towards Tang Qianlin.

Tang Yushi looked at Yan Liuyan, who was outside the house in the distance, looking up at the banyan tree, and said, "Hey, are you deaf?" ”

Tang Qianlin whispered to Tang Yushi: "After all, it's an elder, don't talk like that." ”

Yan Liuyan turned his head at this time and said, "Tang Qianlin, these banyan trees are strange. ”

As soon as Yan Liuyan finished speaking, there was a huge roar around him, and at the same time as the roar came, several puffs of black smoke came out from the banyan tree and rushed straight towards Yan Liuyan.

Yan Liuyan saw that this was not good, but he had nowhere to escape, so he had to hold a torch high in front of him, after all, for most strange things, what they were most afraid of was flames.

Sure enough, when the black smoke was about to rush to Yan Liuyan, it instantly split into two streams, flew away from both sides of the torch, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"What's that?" Li Yunfan looked at the location where the black smoke disappeared, "Why did it suddenly disappear again?" ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the banyan tree calmly: "I told you everything, maybe there is something here, even if we enter the Shaman Spirit Palace, it is not so easy to solve the final mystery." ”

An Ran was a little uneasy: "Qianlin, let's go forward, don't stay here any longer." ”

Tang Qianlin stepped forward to help Yan Liuyan, who was frightened: "Master Yan, what did you mean when you said that the banyan tree is weird?" ”

Yan Liuyan looked up at the banyan tree: "I always feel that these trees seem to be alive." ”

Li Qingxiang said impatiently: "Isn't this nonsense? If it's not alive, it's a dead tree. ”

Yan Liuyan shook his head: "No, I didn't mean that, I mean, I always feel as if this tree is looking at me." ”

Tang Qianlin also raised his eyes to look at the banyan tree, but he didn't find anything weird, and he didn't have the feeling that Yan Liuyan had, so he said, "Let's go, don't waste time here." ”

Everyone followed Tang Qianlin and continued to move forward, but after walking for about ten minutes, they found that the scene in front of them was exactly the same as before.

Li Qingxiang frowned and said: "Along the way, I calculated, we passed by at least ten identical houses, how big is this city?" ”

Yefeng turned to look at the road he came: "No, you see, you can still vaguely see the location of the city gate." ”

Tang Qianlin turned to look: "It looks like we are lost and trapped." ”

Yefeng said: "Qianlin, do you remember the Bagua Village in western Sichuan?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Of course I remember, Master, when you took me to practice guns before, you took me there to live for half a month, when I was still young and almost trapped inside. ”

Yefeng said: "The layout here gives me a feeling that it is very similar to Bagua Village, but it is simpler than the layout of Bagua Village. ”

Tang Qianlin looked around: "The original environment is gloomy, coupled with the green light from the lantern shining by the yin bees, and the exact same building, it is easy for people to lose their way unconsciously." ”

Xia Shuang shook her head: "But, even if you lose your way, the scope here is only so large, we go in one direction, we can always get out, right?" ”

Li Yunfan said: "We have been walking in one direction for so long, and we have come back to the same place. ”

Xia Shuang proposed: "Use the compass, the direction indicated by the compass will not be wrong." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Bagua Village is a good example, the more you use the compass, the easier it is to get lost, because there are magnets everywhere that affect the compass, change the direction a little, and get lost again." ”

Suddenly, that strange voice came again, and Tang Qianlin immediately said, "Raise the torch high!" ”

Everyone immediately raised their torches and looked at the banyan trees in the surrounding houses, and the black gas rushed out of the banyan trees, swirling around, and soon disappeared again.

The moment the black smoke disappeared, the strange sound also stopped mutely.

Tang Qianlin thought about it, looked at the house in front of him and said, "Let's talk about it when we enter that house." ”

When they came to the house, because there was no door, everyone had to climb over the wall to enter.

After entering the courtyard, Tang Qianlin found that there was no water on the ground, the courtyard was paved with bluestone slabs, and the banyan tree in the middle seemed to grow from the bluestone slabs.

Tang Qianlin also noticed that each bluestone slab was engraved with the pattern of the Five Evil Evil Stars, and there was a circle around the Five Evil Evil Stars, which seemed to be a plate.

"Yunfan, when it rains, go and see the houses on both sides." Tang Qianlin said and looked at the one directly opposite, "I'll go and see the one opposite, and the rest of the people stay where they are, don't walk around, don't touch anything." ”

When Tang Qianlin stepped forward, Yan Liuyan stood under the banyan tree, looking up, talking to himself and saying something, as if he was enchanted.

An Ran looked at Yan Liuyan's appearance and felt scared, and unconsciously stood behind Li Qingxiang and Ye Feng.

Tang Qianlin walked to the door and found that although the door was not locked, it could not be pushed, and at the same time, he clearly heard the sound of something turning in the room.

"Senior, Master, come and help open the door." Tang Qianlin picked up the Xia Feng gun, waited for Li Qingxiang and Ye Feng to go back and forth, and pried the door open.

When the door opened, the three men standing in the doorway raised their torches and peeked inside, dumbfounded, because there was no furniture in the room at all, but a bunch of strange things, and many of them were running gears, like the interior of a machine.

Tang Qianlin looked at it and said, "What is this?" ”

Ye Feng looked carefully: "What kind of machine does it look like?" ”

Li Qingxiang wondered: "It's strange, why are there machines here?" ”

Tang Qianlin shone a torch on the ground, carefully touched it, and after making sure that there was no mechanism, he slowly stepped forward, walked to the machines in the house, and after observing it: "These machines seem to be bronze." ”

"Bronze?" Li Qingxiang hurriedly walked in and looked at the machine, "This machine is full of bronze?" ”

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to be made of all kinds of bronzes, it's amazing, how did you do it?" ”

As far as the Chinese Bronze Age is concerned, it is roughly divided into six categories: weapons, food vessels, wine vessels, water vessels, musical instruments and miscellaneous utensils, and there are many types of subdivisions in each category.

Most of the so-called "machines" they saw in front of them were composed of weapons, water tools, and musical instruments.

Tang Qianlin pointed to a device similar to transmission and said: "This thing should be on the top of the crossbow machine, the thing fixed below is a ding, and the bottom also passes through two bells, the person who does this kind of thing is either a genius or a madman." ”

Yefeng said: "Was there such a machine in ancient times?" It looks complicated. ”

Li Qingxiang disagreed: "It's actually not complicated, it's just a simple mechanical principle, and a lot of bronzes seem to be loaded in it just for some kind of visual effect, but it doesn't look like it was done by the ancients." ”

"Tang Qianlin! The tree is really alive! At this time, Yan Liuyan's voice came from the courtyard.

When Tang Qianlin and the others heard the sound, they immediately walked out of the house, came to the courtyard, stood under the banyan tree, and looked at Yan Liuyan's hand.

Yan Liuyan pointed to the tree and said, "Look, the trunk of the tree is moving, as if people are breathing. ”

Everyone watched intently, and sure enough, they noticed that the trunk of the tree seemed to be slightly inflated, like a man's chest heaving when he breathed.

Yan Liuyan said, and stepped forward to touch it with his hand: "It's a tree, but it doesn't look like it, what the hell is this." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "In this kind of ghost place, we shouldn't be surprised by anything appearing now. ”

At this moment, the strange voice resounded all around, and this time everyone could hear it clearly, the sound was coming from the ground, and it seemed to be from the root of the banyan tree.

Tang Yushi lay on the ground and listened carefully: "Dad, the voice is coming from below." ”

Tang Qianlin looked up, turned around and asked Li Yunfan: "Yunfan, flare gun." ”

Li Yunfan said: "I was in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything." ”

Yan Liuyan stepped forward at this time and said, "I have an arrow." ”

Tang Qianlin took Yan Liuyan's trumpet arrow and shot one upward, and the trumpet arrow flew into the air with a few sparks, and quickly hit the top of the cave and then fell down.

Li Yunfan asked, "Old Tang, what do you want to do?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I have to confirm whether this is a cave or not, I am confused now." ”

Li Qingxiang asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Tang Qianlin looked outside: "We have to go out and determine how big this so-called city is." ”

Xia Shuang disagreed: "No, what if I get lost?" ”

Yefeng said: "As long as you walk along the city wall and make a mark, you won't get lost, this place is closed after all, and it is different from the open village like Bagua Village." ”
