"In ten minutes, we will enter a relatively flat place," Cao Yunfei and the work records left behind marked the specific location, which was the entrance to the secret passage. Zhou Dingxuan said: "Everyone should pay attention to the stone stalactites on the top of their heads, don't touch them." "The guards are all tall, with an average height of more than 1.82 meters, and in the cave, many stone stalactites hang down, so Zhou Dingxuan reminded.

"Strange." Gu Fengchun frowned tightly, and asked Zhou Dingxuan: "Uncle Zhou, isn't this a natural cave, you have been busy here for a few months?" Gu Fengchun walked in and saw that there were stalagmites all around, except for the many people walking around during this time, and the dry underground riverbed formed a path, there was no trace of man-made.

"Walk in a little bit." Zhou Dingxuan explained: "We found a lot of things in it, this cave is like a gourd, the mouth is small and the abdomen is large, the range we know is also the upper part of the gourd shape, and we have not set foot in the larger bottom." We're still in the gourd's mouth. When Zhou Dingxuan said this, he blinked his eyes and said solemnly: "In the past few months of excavation, we have found a large number of man-made traces, and these traces are not left in a single era, the earliest can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, and the latest, it is very close, about the Song and Yuan dynasties, there are still a group of people who have come here, and this cave should also be the last group of people to seal." ”

"What did you find?" Gu Fengchun broke the casserole and asked to the end. He likes to be clear about the details of these kinds of questions. In this operation, he was just an entourage, and Zhou Dingxuan and Ye Ya were the protagonists, so he didn't know a lot of things, such as what the archaeological discoveries of Zhou Dingxuan's third archaeological team had gained from this matter, and he had basically never heard of it.

"There is everything, a large number of exquisite jade and bronze objects, living tools and weapons, but the most are human bones." Zhou Dingxuan said: "In the past six months, we have sorted out nearly 500 corpses, most of these bones are rotten, broken when touched, turned into dust, and only more than 40 bodies remain intact. When Zhou Dingxuan said this, he couldn't help but sigh, when he found this batch of bones, how frightened he was in his heart, what deadly things were hidden in the darkness of this cave, it was a problem that he couldn't think about, so he trembled and trembled for half a year, walking on thin ice, but something still happened, thinking of this, his heart tightened, and he thought of an unknown secret mission on his body. He paused, then continued, "That's one of the reasons why we're moving so slowly, because we don't know what the cause of those people's deaths is. ”

Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "After these corpses have been tested, do they mark the era in which they lived?" ”

Zhou Dingxuan's expression was solemn, and he said: "Yes, the earliest is almost more than 3,000 years, and the latest is less than 700 years, it can be seen that in the past thousands of years, there have always been people who want to enter this place to find something." ”

"Yes, that is to say, it has not been a secret here for thousands of years, and someone must know that there is something worth risking in it, is it really the charm of the ancient book "Returning to Tibet"?" Gu Fengchun sighed and said. Obviously, Gu Fengchun was quite interested in returning to Tibet, but when he heard that so many people had died tragically here, his heart suddenly became heavy.

When Zhou Dingxuan heard this, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he said after a long time: "You should be right, but is it worth it to do it like this?" ”

"Who knows?" Gu Fengchun replied. After saying this, everyone fell silent.

After a while, the terrain gradually flattened and opened up. "It's almost there." Zhou Dingxuan reminded Ye Ya. At the end of the light, a place sinks slightly. Ye Ya had already seen it, he said "um", and immediately issued an order: "A Wei attention, we are about to enter a secret passage, please be mentally prepared." When he said this, Ye Ya asked in a low voice, "Professor Zhou, is there anything in the secret passage recorded in Cao Yunfei's notes?" Ye Ya has always been cautious, and in this environment, he is even more energetic.

Zhou Dingxuan shook his head and said, "No, he only mentioned that he came out of the secret passage, there is no detailed description here, it can be seen that there is no important discovery in the secret passage." However, he said that after coming out of the secret passage, he felt as if something was staring at him in the dark. Ye Ya nodded after hearing this, he had heard this paragraph before. Cao Yunfei not only felt that someone was following him, but also heard strange noises. Judging from these information, there must be something extraordinary in this secret passage. Ye Ya reminded himself in his heart that he must be careful.

The third archaeological team has already cleaned up the accumulation at the entrance of the secret passage. This secret passage was originally sealed with a huge stone, leaving no gap, and it was integrated with the surroundings, and there was nothing strange at first glance. When an archaeological team member inadvertently rested against this boulder, he noticed that this stone was completely different from the surrounding limestone, but a whole piece of granite, so he reported it to Cao Yunfei, and as a result, dozens of migrant workers worked together to warp this boulder, and a black hole under the boulder appeared in front of them. When they reached the side of the secret passage, the boulder that had been pried open rolled to the side, lonely and extremely incongruous with the surroundings. Ye Ya looked around and said to everyone: "The two A guards will go down with me first, find out if there is any danger in the secret passage first, and the rest will stay here first and wait for my news." Ye Ya paused for a moment and said, "D1 and D2, you two follow me." Ye Ya didn't want to rush into this narrow secret passage with all the people. If there is any danger, then everyone will have to be finished together.

The two guards standing beside him immediately replied, "Yes! ”

"I'll go with you, too." Gu Fengchun hurriedly said: "You need someone who knows some professional knowledge by your side, otherwise there are any ancient characters and other records in it, you don't understand the meaning, if it's very important information, didn't you miss it?" Gu Fengchun knew what words he could impress Ye Ya. Sure enough, Ye Ya lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that there was some truth in Gu Fengchun's words, so he nodded and said to Zhou Dingxuan: "Professor Zhou, then here, please ask you and Master Liu first." Liu Wensheng was standing in the middle of a bunch of A guards at the moment, and it seemed that he was very uncomfortable with the surrounding environment. It should be said that he has an inexplicable fear of this place, Mr. Feng Shui often has to go over mountains and mountains, trek through mountains and rivers, and spending the night in the barren mountains and wilderness is the most normal thing.

Zhou Dingxuan nodded and said, "Pay attention to safety." ”

This secret passage has a simple staircase, it is very steep, and when Gu Fengchun walked into the secret passage, he suddenly trembled and shivered. It seems that a cloudy wind has just blown, and the temperature around it has plummeted. But after a moment, everything felt business as usual. He was about to speak, when suddenly a baby-like voice of "wow" suddenly came to his ears. In this gloomy secret passage, Gu Fengchun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot. "Ye Ya", Gu Fengchun hurriedly shouted. Thin beads of sweat broke out of his forehead.

"What's the matter?" Ye Ya stopped and looked back at him. The secret passage was less than two meters wide, and after the humble staircase came down a long corridor, no more than two meters high and less than three meters wide, surrounded by rough traces of limestone. The four of them walked in a straight line, Ye Ya walked in front with a strong flashlight, and Gu Fengchun followed closely behind Ye Ya.

"Did you hear anything?" Gu Fengchun's heartbeat was still accelerating.

"What sound? I didn't hear it. Ye Ya replied vigilantly.

"Similar to the kind of baby crying," Gu Fengchun took a deep breath and said, "Maybe I'm too nervous, it's the first time I've entered such a dark place." ”

"Well, don't be nervous, how did you become so bold, when you were a child, you were notoriously bold, and you even dared to break into the garden room of Doctor Xie to steal fruits to eat." Ye Ya remembered Gu Fengchun's naughty deeds when he was a child, and couldn't help laughing. It was many years ago, when the two of them were still wearing open crotch pants, there was a miracle doctor in the W bureau who would often plant some strange experimental fruits in the garden in front of the door, and the daring Gu Fengchun would often steal them to try them. Once, he ate a poisonous fruit and almost killed him. If Ye Ya hadn't been on the side and ran to call the adult, he would have died.

"You kid is embarrassed to say that you said that the fruit is beautiful, otherwise how would I steal it?" As soon as Gu Fengchun thought of this, he became angry. It seems that it was only after that catastrophe that he had that unique ability to sense antiques, right? Gu Fengchun thought secretly.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow......" The baby's crying voice sounded in Gu Fengchun's ears again, one was more poignant than the other, Gu Fengchun's eardrums felt a little tingling, and this creepy cry made Gu Fengchun suddenly have goosebumps.
