Just as I was sharing this kind of cave with strange noises, Lan Xin in front of me seemed to notice something in the distance behind me, and she used her flashlight to shine a flashlight on the distance that was swallowed by darkness, and told us to look!

The end of the flashlight pillar of light is not very clear, gray, but I still vaguely see as if there is a behemoth moving its body, although I can't see its light brown body very clearly, but from its head projected two faint green lights, I know that it was the bandit corpse that was kicked down the abyss by me and the ghost before, but it didn't fall completely, maybe it was the same as me, it fell on a raised rock, survived, and now climbed up again.

In the darkness, the green light projected from the eyes of the bandit's corpse was particularly obvious, and in the space of this black hole, it swept around as its body swayed, these two abnormal green lights represented unknown creatures, and even more represented some ominous threat and danger.

Suddenly, the green light from the eyes of the bandit's corpse disappeared, followed by its vague figure that was faintly under the flashlight's pillar of light and disappeared out of thin air? Before we could react, we heard a strange sound in our ears that did not belong to this underground, it was a gunshot*, a gunshot from a distance, and the source was the location where the bandits' corpses had disappeared.

When the gunshot rang out, each of us naturally reacted slightly and squatted slightly, looking at the source of the gunfire vigilantly, and I think there are no more than two kinds of people who can still hear the gunshots in this kind of ghost place, if it weren't for the fat man and the black boy, it would be those mysterious people we hadn't even seen before, but they ransacked the gunpowder of the bandits' den.

"Wang! It is MP18 sound. Then the worried ghost said something to me, and I understood that he was worried that it would be the mutated bandit corpse that threatened the fat man. His worries were exactly what I was worried about, so I said, "Wang! You and I are going together, without further ado, let's go! Look at it. ”

Saying that, we hurried to the location where the bandit's corpse had just disappeared, before we roughly confirmed that the bandit's corpse was at a distance of 100 meters away from us through the wolf's eye flashlight, and after a while, we came to the vicinity where it disappeared, as soon as we arrived in this area, I found that there was a slope in the terrain here, the reason why we saw the bandit's corpse disappear out of thin air was because it climbed down the slope downward, and when we were about to go down, I suddenly stepped on a strange thing under my feet, it was very hard to step on, like a big stone, Take a flashlight, it is indeed a stone, this stone only exposes one-third of the area, the rest of the whole is buried in the soil, and the exposed part because of the accumulation of time, it has been covered with a thin layer of moss, just now I stepped on part of the moss, so that a small part of the content of the stone is undoubtedly revealed, it is a different shade of texture, the shape is peculiar, it looks like some kind of totem relief.

I couldn't help but crouch down and clean the rest of the moss with my other hand, and take a closer look! It's really some kind of relief, but it's more like a strange font to piece together some kind of pattern, Professor Ouyang They noticed my actions, and they also squatted down to watch together, these fonts have strange images, not Chinese, not oracle bones, I can't see a clear eye, so I asked Professor Ouyang.

Professor Ouyang brought the flashlight closer, then helped his glasses, and said after looking at it for a while, "If I don't look away, I'm afraid it's the unique font of the mysterious Ba people, the Ba people don't belong to the Chinese civilization, so their civilization and writing are very different from our Han culture, I said earlier in the sacrificial area, the existence of the Ba people is still controversial in the archaeological community, and now what the academic community knows is that they have been active in the present-day Sichuan region during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then they were destroyed by the Qin State when they came to Qin, and they were Ba County, and they were incorporated into the Chinese civilization at that time. Professor Ouyang said that this asked Xiao Kai to take out a small brush, and then did it himself, meticulously, and lightly cleaned up the covering on the stone a little, and then said, "Judging from the shape of this font, this should belong to the Ba people before Qin." "After finishing speaking, let's help dig out all the stones buried in the soil layer with a sapper shovel, Professor Ouyang and I are telling us to be careful and careful, and never destroy this ancient artifact with high research value, this may be a new chapter in his research on the mysterious Ba people in the field of archaeology.

Although the ghost and I are not archaeology majors, we are not tomb robbers, and even the ghost still wants to join the Captain of the Underworld, and Shanzi said that the difference between the Captain of the Shadow and the Captain of the Touching Gold is that the original intention of the former is to protect the antiquities in the ancient tomb, and the latter is to destroy and steal the antiquities, so after listening to Professor Ouyang's instructions, the ghost also hurriedly said to me, "What the professor said is, Wang!" Let's move lightly, don't Ma Daha accidentally destroy the highly researched antiquities. ”

Under such pressure, I am very helpless, I can do the little things with a few shovels, but now I have to work slowly, little by little, the whole stone buried in the soil layer is slowly cleaned out, so that it reappears in front of our eyes, this is an obviously acquired processed stone, square.

Professor Ouyang couldn't wait, he saw the true face of the stone Lushan, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment and cleaned the stone with Xiao Kai with a brush in a professional way.

This stone is very national, the relief on it is a strange pattern pieced together with a mysterious Ba script, the pattern was covered by the soil and could not see what it was, but now by Professor Ouyang they cleaned up, the pattern can be seen very clearly! Judging from the relief carved by the strange words, it is an oval pattern, or more like a totem, its shape is similar to the Nüwa stone on the relief in the tomb of Nanzhao in Yunnan two years ago, under the temple and in the sinkhole, and what makes me even more curious is that these words that are pieced together into the shape of the Nuwa stone are exactly the same as the words engraved on the bronze edge of the "Ba Ren Demon Jade" that Uncle Xu showed me before.

After Professor Ouyang cleaned it with a brush, he also recognized at a glance that this totem was the Nuwa stone we saw on the wall of the Ba people's sacrificial area before, and just when everyone noticed that this belonged to the stone made by the Ba civilization before Qin, Lan Xin seemed to have found something!

She stood in front of us, shining a flashlight down the slope, and said with a voice that I don't know if she was excited or surprised? But in a very smooth tone, he said to everyone, "Everyone! You'd better check it out! ”

Everyone flashed a flashlight forward, all stunned, shocking, a bizarre ruined stone city imprinted into our eyes, the entire stone city has collapsed, east and west, although it has been collapsed Yucheng, but can still be judged by these fragmented parts of the huge stone city, look at the severity of its collapse Professor Ouyang judged that this stone city should have been on the ground, but because of the impact of the Wenchuan earthquake caused the strata in this area to move when the ground Ba people stone city on the ground was brought into the underground.

Looking at Shicheng, I suddenly remembered what Uncle Xu said about the treasure of the Ba Ren Demon King, and then associated it with the words on the stone, I couldn't help but be stunned, is the legend true? Isn't the demon Gu army of the Naba Demon Lord groundless? After all, the mysterious and strange words on the stone and the collapsed stone are real, but I didn't tell everyone about this, so as not to disturb the army's mind.

Professor Ouyang went on to introduce that there is also a Ba people stone city in Shenlong Mountain, the southern suburbs of the new city in Guang'an City, Sichuan, although the building age of the stone city is no longer known, but the archaeological community has confirmed that it is a Guan Sai left over from the former Cuban State, and now the stone city in front of us has a strange shape, not like a Guan Sai, but because it has collapsed, so it really can't see its original shape, or even what it is for.

There is a relatively complete part of the collapsed stone city block diagonally across the ground cracked above, look at its shape should be the main entrance of the stone city, although it has collapsed, but it can barely be seen that it is made of two stone towers and a row of thousand-story ladders, but the current stone ladder has been broken into two sections of different sizes, and the two overlapping stone towers are entangled, showing a mess, there is a black hole hole at the end of one of the stone towers, and the previous bandit corpse should have been drilled through this gap, And the ghost and I heard that it was probably an MP18 shot fired by a fat man, and it should have come from inside.

Now I really don't care about the ghost and what is the relationship between this strange and unique national stone city and the Ba people in front of Qin, what we are concerned about is the situation of the fat man and the black boy, if it is really what we guessed, the sudden gunfire just now was really fired by the fat man, then it should be that the bandit cadaver entered the gap in the stone tower and unfortunately collided with the fat man, so the fat man fired the gun, but why was it just a shot? Instead of a continuous gunshot, the ghost and I had already learned the evil door of the mutated bandit's corpse, not to mention whether one shot could kill it, even if a shuttle thirty-two snail magazines were all of its use, unless...... Unless it's the bandits, the corpses have already given the fat man to ......, no, no, no! Fat people are stupid, and they are not so unlucky.

In just two or three seconds after I saw the stone tower in front of me, I analyzed the possibility, and immediately ruled out this inauspicious possibility, and then I looked at the ghost, and the copyist ran towards the big hole in the black hole of the stone tower.

This time, before I went down, I saw that there were pitons and climbing ropes in the hole of the stone tower, which were used by the fat man, and our equipment was specially purchased by the fat man and the ghost to the county seat before, so the ghost recognized it at a glance, looking at the bottomless space under the climbing rope, I was so anxious that I couldn't help but scold, "Damn!" Dead fat, they can't really have an accident, right? I'm grass, master, I have already told the fat man a thousand instructions, so that he can't act rashly, find an exit in the gourd hole and wait for us to come back, but the fat man just doesn't listen, and he has to toss a little bit of trouble. ”

"Okay, Wu Nian! It's useless to say this now, don't worry about it, hurry down and see the situation. Lan Xin said and took out one of our few cold fireworks from his backpack, hit, and threw it into the hole, the white cold smoke and fire rolled down with the collapsed stone tower, and then fell into a hole in the inner layer of the stone tower, which completely didn't know what was going on inside, but saving people was like fighting fire, whether it was the damn Longtan Tiger's Den or the Netherworld, you have to go down to see what it is.

When Lan Xin was the first to go down alone, the ghost pulled her, "Lan Xin!" I'll go down first to be safe, after all, I can guarantee that if I have a gun in hand, I usually have no problem protecting myself. ”

Professor Ouyang and Xiao Kai said that they would go down anyway, and they all came to this point, and they found information related to the mysterious Ba people in front of Qin, and they were willing to take risks to explore, and there may be more unknown antiquities and civilization discoveries, I knew that it was useless to talk more, and I was too lazy to waste time, so I let them follow Lan Xin one by one and go down slowly, while I left the broken back.

Just as I was about to go down, I suddenly felt as if something behind me was rapidly approaching me, and it was too late to make sure it felt right, and suddenly, a white thing was on my left shoulder, and I felt a sigh in my heart, and immediately reacted after a cold shiver, no matter what it was, I directly held it with my right hand, and then leaned forward, and a fall over the shoulder threw the thing behind me into the hole of more than one meter wide in the diameter of the stone tower, and at the same time I heard the thing that I fell out of the voice "Master-Fu!" However, the word "Fu" is with the sound of the owner rolling into the stone tower, and gradually drifting away, echoing around my ears, then I reacted, it turned out to be Dachangtong this kid, and then I heard a faint noise of objects rolling down under the stone tower, and Dachangtong "Oops——! I grass! Day...... You are an ancestor, and you fell to death! "Intermittent cursing.

I secretly replied in my heart: "You deserve to die, it's okay, sneakily close to me, I don't have good fruit to eat!" ”

Then fasten the wire lock and follow the trajectory of the climbing rope to the inner layer of the stone tower.

When I went down to the innermost layer, the ghosts had already thrown a few cold fireworks, illuminating the inner layer of the entire stone tower, this is about three or four hundred square meters of space, surrounded by large square stones carved with strange totem reliefs, and the most strange thing for me is that there is a bunch of white flowers and sand-like bodies in the place where we came down, just now Dachangtong fell on this pile of sand-like bodies, so he didn't lose his life, and now he is spitting out the remaining sand-like body in his mouth on the side, while chattering and complaining, "What is this?" Salty to death! ”

I was worried that I didn't know if this thing would be poisonous, so I hurriedly asked Dachang General Water to rinse his mouth and asked him if he felt anything strange in his body? For example, will the mouth be numb? Will there be signs of dizziness and other poisoning?

Dachang Tong shook his head and said, "No! It's just a salty and bitter feeling! It seems like...... It seems to be salt! ”

Salt!? When I was secretly puzzled, Professor Ouyang said, "That's right! Those are salt! The Ba people are famous for practicing salt, and they also have a salt god dedicated to worship. Because Professor Ouyang was focused on observing the totems around him, he never took his eyes off the stone wall of the stone tower when he said this, and continued to observe with Xiao Kai while copying the totems on the relief.

Since I had asked Dachangtong and the officer to take care of the injured Xiaoying in the gourd cave before, but now he acted on his own and ran down, so I asked him what was going on and why he didn't obey the order?

Dachangtong smiled and said, "Master! Am I not worried about you? Just now, when I was waiting for you in the bandits' den, I heard a gun* inside, and I was worried that something would happen to you, so I came over to take a look! Anyway, it's no problem to be alone at the Health Bureau! ”

After listening to Dachangtong's reason, although I didn't say it, I understood it in my heart, and I thought to myself, "Heh! This kid is worried that although we are not false, but it must be more for the sake of the underworld weapon (the burial goods in the tomb), isn't the original intention of going to the tomb with me from the beginning for this purpose, and this way down in addition to the danger of nine deaths and one life, he has not fished a valuable mortal weapon, and the ghost believes that he will give up.

Although I didn't debunk Dachangtong's high-sounding statement in person, I still whispered a warning to him not to mess around, and every move must be reported to me first, otherwise the consequences will be borne by himself, in order to make him obey his words, I exaggerated and told him that there are more Gu Xiao under this stone tower that almost killed us before, and they are all responsible for watching the underworld, if you want to live, be honest.

This really worked, and after hearing this, Dachang nodded again and again, and replied, "Hey! Ay! You know, you must obey the master's orders, and even pee, I will pull the master with you. ”

I wanted to laugh when I saw Dachangtong's shocked and frightened expression, so I couldn't help but tease him, "What! You still dare to pee, those Gu Xiao can smell your urine from afar*, and then it will lure the wolf into the house and kill yourself, be careful that your dick is sucked into jerky, and you will hold it for me if you have urine. ”
