"The timeline is at least three hundred years ago!" Zhao Zhifeng quickly made an assessment of the mural.

"It's like a mausoleum of some princely level."

After listening to him, I was stunned. In my hexagram question, there is no hint of a tomb.

"Not really! This is at least more than 500 years old, and this kind of mural is not the style of painting of princely tombs, because this is simply a decorative pattern, which is very different from the narrative mural of the mausoleum. "Yu Qian, like Zhao Zhifeng, is a weirdo who can't help but pounce on the ancient monuments as soon as they see them.

"Between three hundred and five hundred years, it will never exceed five hundred years, and you can see it by looking at the degree of weathering, it is obvious." Zhao Zhifeng argues with reason, and on some occasions, he is very serious.

Yu Qian reached out to touch the stone wall again, and at this time, Han Chang suddenly stood up and said, "This cave is still open to the outside world, so it is weathered. Judging from the degree of weathering of the stone carvings, it is true that it will not exceed five hundred years. ”

Looking at things from the perspective of the rocks, I don't think anyone in this place has the authority of Han Chang. Everyone seemed to understand this truth, and Yu Qian also gave up continuing her research, and stood up straight and looked at Han Chang.

Han Chang looked at the murals with his eyes, and then said: "I think this kind of mural looks like the traditional culture of some ethnic minority, my brother and I have encountered similar rock carving murals in a big mountain, and the style is similar to this. Local residents tell us that this is the remnant of an ethnic minority tribe in ancient times. They worship some strange gods, and this kind of rock carving mural seems to be a kind of worship to the gods, a kind of decoration. ”

"Makes sense! But why is it carved in such a deep cave? Could it be that this cave leads to the retreat of some people? Boss Taiyi hugged his arms decently, touched his chin, stood next to Han Chang and said.

"I don't know, it's just my guess. Perhaps, it's just like Zhifeng said, it's a mausoleum? Han Chang shook his head and said.

"No, it's not a mausoleum! Hearing you say that, I am reminded of a book that Professor Han often reads to me. The book presents the history of many ethnic minorities and tribes, and some of them are indeed expressed in this way. Zhao Zhifeng said in a deep voice, as if he was still trying to remember some things.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qian also continued: "Yes! I've also read that book, it's called "Naturalist Chronicles of Literature and History", and I don't remember who compiled it. But the book is really very informative, with many unheard of minority tribal customs and local characteristics. No wonder I think these murals are very familiar, and judging by the patterns and depictions, this is ......"

"A symbol of cave civilization!" Yu Qian's words were interrupted by Zhao Zhifeng, but Yu Qian did not correct it, but her eyes widened and she nodded slowly, she actually agreed with what Zhao Zhifeng said. It seems that the two have reached a tacit understanding and have recognized the facts.

"Cave civilization?" When I said this word, I couldn't help but be a little stunned. This word contains a lot of meaning. The scope of this term is also very large, because cave civilization does not refer to a certain period of cave culture alone, but refers to the peculiar, comprehensive synthesis of various cave cultures that have appeared in various periods.

"At least the cave civilization of about 500 years, there are still a lot of cave peoples in this period, and we can't know which people will leave the characteristics of this mural alone. I think this is a very valuable place to study, and we should inform Professor Han to come over. Zhao Zhifeng slowed down his speech, showed solemnity, and said to me.

I have been tacitly taken into the lead, and Zhao Zhifeng also recognizes himself as a member of Ghost Touch Mountain, and subtly regards me as his boss, so he follows everything

I say.

"I'll let you know when I get out. But before that, we have to get rid of the evil existence of hell, otherwise, they will also be a big threat to Professor Han. "I agree with Zhao Zhifeng. This kind of ruin, of course, is good to be placed in the mountains like this, but this place is too famous after all, and the existence of the underworld will be destroyed sooner or later. It's not that we will be someone else, and we will definitely break this thing, after all, the people who know the value of turning into ghosts and ghosts will definitely not be the only ones who are ghosts touching the mountain.

At that time, the remains of this cave civilization will definitely not be preserved. Not to mention any great social contributions, from the perspective of value, it would be a pity that this thing was destroyed, it is better to report it in advance, let the authority take care of it, and get some protection.

A relic of a national civilization like this, I don't think it will be of much value to us in the Ghost Mountain. are forced to live in caves, what valuable treasures can be left? What's more, it's still something about 500 years old.

Looking at the swarthy downhill passage, I felt the urge to go home.

However, Yu Qian and Zhao Zhifeng were so excited and energetic that they couldn't wait to jump straight down. Looking at them like this, I knew that it was impossible for me to go home.

Sure enough, I came up with this idea, and Yu Qian pulled my arm and said to me, "Let's go!" Let's go down! I can't wait! ”

looked at Zhao Zhifeng again, it was simply impatient, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he cut into the queue and went to the front.

"Let's go, let's go!" I had no choice but to spoil the interest of these two.

The team moved forward again, all the way down the hill section. However, the descent was not very long, and after a dozen steps, it was smooth back. However, the slope of these dozen steps directly pulled the previous horizontal line more than ten meters.

If it is pulled to the horizon, then these ten meters are nothing, after all, we climbed half up the mountainside to a height of one or two hundred meters. Even if it sinks more than ten meters, it is still in the belly of the mountain.

The gentle section after the descent is not very long, and of course, the stone walls on both sides are also carved with strange texture patterns, which are inherited from the slope murals.

Walking through this gentle section about four or five meters long, we came to a large cave that made a hollow sound. Standing at the entrance of the cave, we can hear the sound of dripping water in the cave, which indicates that the big cave here is also a karst cave or something.

"Make a few torches out!" The sound of dripping water can echo, which shows the size of the cave, and I think that with a small candle, it will not be able to illuminate this place.

"What kind of torches? This is not hell, just a flashlight! "Boss Taiyi held a beam of cold light and calmly passed past me.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I knew that the flashlight was already working, but in the underground cavern, a place that no one had been to for a long time, I still trusted the torch more.

Yu Qian, Zhao Zhifeng, and even Zhou Jun all started to make a simple torch with a sapper shovel. And during this period, Boss Taiyi has gone into the cave.

When we walked in with the torches, the goods made fun of us, but the next moment, he turned off the flashlight and shared the torches.

A flashlight can be used here, but the light still can't be dispersed. So if you turn on the flashlight, you can only see a small area. In this huge cave, there are many inconveniences. The torches were different, the light was scattered, and the five of us, each with one hand, almost illuminated half of the cave.

"This place seems to be a place to live, you see, there are still snail dwelling ruins!" Yu Qian and Zhao Zhifeng, who were together, had already walked in front of us and started a search near the center of the cave.

The so-called snail dwelling relics

The traces are actually a pile of bonfire ashes, and the traces of human activity next to the ashes. The most, however, are some wooden shelves and stone fences near the ashes. Looking at the shape of the structure and the extent of the enclosure, you can see that these things are just traces of tents, simple dwellings and other things.

Although it is a cave civilization, it is also a high civilization. There will still be shame, and these simple residences are probably also a cover-up.

The cave is very large, worthy of a few hundred square meters. Except for a small open area at the entrance, the cave is littered with the remains of human activity and habitation.

Around the corners of the cave, we also found a whole circle of animal bones, which were arranged very neatly, layer by layer, stacked on top of each other against the rock wall. The skull, which is placed at the top.

Judging from the skulls, most of these beasts are small mountain and forest beasts. It's not a rabbit or a wild boar, of course, there are cow heads, but that's a minority after all.

The cave does not exist alone, directly opposite the entrance, we also find another entrance. Since the cave was just a remnant of life, we walked around and saw some ashes and animal bones, and there was nothing worth our stay, so we walked straight to the next entrance.

To my surprise, at first I thought that the next cave should be the place where the height of the cave civilization is manifested, that is, the most direct factor in the birth of their murals, the place of sacrifice.

But when we came in, we realized that this was still a large cave for habitation. This cave is even bigger than the previous one, and I guess it's beyond the range of the low mountain where the outside hell is located. Of course, it still exists in a low mountain range, in the underworld.

"It's more than twice as big as the one before, and looking at the traces of its life, it is estimated that there are more than 500 people who have lived here." Zhao Zhifeng and Yu Qian walked in a big circle and said after coming back.

None of us were interested in exploring the ashes again, so we stood at the entrance and watched the two of them walk around. After Zhao Zhifeng finished speaking, I didn't care about the content, so I asked him: "Is there an exit?" ”

Zhao Zhifeng nodded and said, "Yes, and it is very formal, and the entrance to this cave is the same as the exquisite mural depiction." ”

"That's their place of worship, right? There's always something good about that place. As soon as I heard what he said, I was immediately interested.

"And where's the exit? Take us there! "Boss Taiyi heard that there were good things, and his interest was greater than mine, so he immediately urged.

Zhao Zhifeng smiled, pointed to our right hand, and said, "Look, it's right there!" ”

We were all stunned, and we didn't react at all. At this time, Yu Qian had already walked to the exit that Zhao Zhifeng said with a torch, and when we saw the location of that exit, we were stunned again.

"And this kind of operation? Is this hand-dug up? "This exit is almost parallel to the entrance, which means that you have walked back again, and it should be parallel to the cave where you lived before.

Such a cave is really peculiar, it is not dug by hand, and I don't believe that such a cave exists.

"I don't know if the hole was dug when I go in, but this entrance is certain, it was definitely dug by man, and this entrance is much smoother than the entrance into the cave, and the connecting entrance of the two living caves, and it is full of traces of repair, which is enough to prove that it was deliberately dug through." Yu Qian touched the stone wall engraved with murals and said.

"Hey, come in and see! What kind of place is this? "We were all still discussing the passage at the exit, and inside, the surprised voice of the boss Taiyi had already floated out.
