Everyone was shocked by the big hole in the temple, only to see that this hole runs through the top and the inside of the pyramid, the cave wall is very regular, as if it was artificially chiseled, Lin Fan saw this hole and remembered the scene of the destruction of the stone chamber on the top of the Pyramid of Khufu, the two look the same, the difference is that the Pyramid of Khufu is only destroyed at the top, while the Pyramid of Kukulkan is penetrated from the top to the inside.

Everyone approached the entrance of the cave in the center of the temple to find out, although there was light spilling from the top, but this big hole was still bottomless, and Lin Fan could only see that the bottom was pitch black when he peeked inside.

"Be careful, don't get too close to the entrance of the cave, this cave is very deep, and it leads to the underground cave." Dr. Fernando reminded from the sidelines.

"Underground caves?" Everyone was amazed.

"The Pyramid of Kukulkan is built on top of a huge natural cave, and this hole runs through the entire pyramid and leads directly to the cave under the foundation, so it is very deep, and I don't know how these vandals got it, it's really incredible." Fernando explained.

"Old man, is this the only one in the entire Chichen Itza ruins destroyed?" Jonathan asked.

"Yes, but that's serious enough! The Spaniards had never done anything so excessive! Fernand's face flushed with anger.

Xue Panru and Chen Bo on the side asked Bill, "What did the Spaniards do?" ”

"In the 19th century, Spanish explorers came to the Mayan ruins in search of treasures and stole a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry here and returned home." Bill covered his mouth and whispered.

"Where's the Quetzalcoatl in the temple? Gone? Jonathan asked around the ring gauge.

Fernando pointed to the debris cleaned up by several cultural relics workers around the entrance of the cave and said: "It's all in pieces, and our people are stepping up to clean up and collect to see if they can be restored." ”

"Alas, it's a pity that the moon-patterned capstone of the stone chamber at the top of the Pyramid of Khufu was also destroyed like this." Jonathan sighed.

"Do you mean the moon-patterned capstone when you say the moon disk?" Fernando asked.

Jonathan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that capstone is indeed round. ”

"That's the moon disc of Horus, Horus is both the eagle god and the moon god, it is the guardian of the eternal night, and the moon disc is the totem that the Egyptians used to worship Horus." Fernando Drive.

Jonathan patted his head and suddenly said: "Oh, I always thought that Horus was the symbol of the pharaoh's kingship, and it turned out that it was also the moon god......" He suddenly seemed to think of something, and changed his words: "Hernandez, Quetzalcoatl is the sun god of the Mayans, right?" ”

"That's right." Fernando replied.

"Kukulkan is a pyramid dedicated to the sun god, and the pyramid of Khufu is dedicated to Horus, so it is the pyramid of the moon god."

"Well, that's understandable."

"The pyramid of the moon and the sun...... It seems that some ancient civilization legend mentions this thing, Hernandez, do you have any impressions? ”

Fernando shook his head and said, "I can't remember so much in my head, Albert." ”

Jonathan paced back and forth as if he was in deep thought, everyone couldn't bear to disturb him, Lin Fan felt that this Quetzalcoatl God was likely to have something to do with the dragon, so he asked Fernando, "Dr. Fernando, what is the origin of this Quetzalcoatl God?" ”

Fernando replied: "Quetzalcoatl is a god of Mesoamerican civilization, legend has it that he is very large, with a snake body and wings, and his whole body is covered with colorful feathers, and there are stone carvings at the base of the pyramid of Kukulcan, and there are paintings on the walls of the temples here, but they are no longer visible. Fernando looked at the blackened stone walls around him, and with a look of regret, he added: "Legend has it that Quetzalcoatl dominated the sun and rain, and the Mesoamerican civilization was mainly an agricultural civilization, so the Mayans regarded him as the god of the sun, and the Indians and other Mesoamerican civilizations regarded him as the god of the harvest." ”

"And what does the destroyed Quetzalcoatl have to do with it?" Lin Fan then asked.

"Although this Quetzalcoatl Stone is just a stone, but it is a spiritual object of the Mayans, it is said that it was fished out of the 'holy well', it is a bone of the Quetzalcoatl God, legend has it that the Quetzalcoatl Stone is sealed with the power of the gods, and the Mayans can get the four seasons and live a peaceful life by worshipping it." Fernando explained.

"The bones of a snake? This Quetzalcoatl God is real!? Xue Panru shouted, "Could this be the same kind of dragon we've seen?!" ”

"I'm sorry, what are you referring to?" Fernando didn't know why.

The conversation attracted Dr. Jonathan's attention, and he stepped forward to explain: "Hernandez, here's the thing......" He whispered to Dr. Fernando, only to see Fernando's face change and be extremely shocked: "Oh Albert, is this true?" ”

Jonathan nodded, "It's true, we are here because we are following the traces of that dragon, we suspect that the people who destroyed the Pyramid of Kukulkan and the previous one who destroyed the Pyramid of Khufu are likely to be a group of people, and I will tell you the details later." ”

"By the way, can you take us to see the Well of Sacrifice, I want to know where the Quetzalcoatl Stone was found."

"Alright! I'll take you there, but you have to give me a good talk tonight, and I won't let you go so easily. "Fernando Road.

"Of course."

Fernando led everyone out of the temple, as Fernando said, at the base of the steps at the foot of the pyramid there are two huge stone sculptures of the heads of the feathered serpents, they both have horned scales on their heads, full of fangs and sharp teeth, Lin Fan looked at these two snake heads, thinking that compared with snakes, they are more like dragons.

The "Well of Sacrifice" was near the ruins of Chichen Itza, and the group walked along a path next to the ruins, and soon reached its location, only to see a large area of ground in the woodland in front of them, forming a huge deep pit.

When we came to the edge of the pit, we saw that the whole pit was bigger than a basketball court, the mouth of the pit was an irregular pentagonal shape, the mouth of the pit was covered with dense vegetation, the rock wall below was extremely steep, and there was a large pool of water at the bottom of the pit, which was particularly deep and mysterious.

Fernando told the crowd: "This is the 'Well of Sacrifice', the place where the Mayans sacrificed to Quetzalcoatl, now known as the Ike-Kiel Sinkhole, which is more than 100 meters deep and has a maximum width of 130 meters in diameter. ”

"There's a staircase in there, can we go down?" Chen Bo pointed to the inside of the pit, and Lin Fan saw a hewn staircase inside the pit wall, which led to the edge of the pool at the bottom of the pit.

"Yes, there's an entrance next to here, please follow me." Fernando led everyone through the dense vegetation and walked to a place connected to a stone step next to the mouth of the pit, and was about to go down, but Xue Panru shouted: "Is it safe in this pit?" There's no living in the pool, right?"

"Young man, don't worry, there are no big snakes in it, now the 'Sacrificial Well' has become part of the scenic spot, and there are tourists swimming and diving in it!" Fernando laughed and said, Xue Panru was relieved.

Everyone lined up along the narrow stone steps down to the bottom of the pit, arrived at the edge of the pool, Lin Fan looked around, felt that the "sacrificial well" at this time was completely different from what he saw at the top of the pit, the vines of vegetation hung down like a waterfall along the mouth of the pit, the sunlight sprinkled from the mouth of the cave, and the bottom of the pool water reflected the royal blue and dark blue two colors, which was particularly beautiful, and the smooth rock wall around it reflected the ripples of the pool, which appeared bright and gentle, and swept away the deep and terrifying feeling before, but made people feel quiet and beautiful.

Everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the cave, and stopped to watch at the water's edge, Wu Lingling scooped the water with both hands and shouted: "This water is so cool and clear~", driven by her, Xue Panru, Chen Bo, Bill, first mate Li Gang and Ji Yutong couldn't help but come over and wash their faces with pool water.

"According to the records of the Mayans, it was at the bottom of this pool that they found the Quetzalcoatl Stone, that is, its snake bones, so this was originally the place where the snake god lived." Fernando pointed to the waterhole and said, everyone was stunned, Lin Fan heard him say this, and immediately felt that this place really looked like a big snake's cave, and everything around him suddenly became weird.

But Fernando quickly laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, look at your scared looks, there's nothing in the water now." ”

Everyone was a little speechless about him, and Jonathan asked, "Hernandez, is the waterhole of this 'Well of Sacrifice' connected to the cave beneath the ruins of Chichen Itza?" ”

"It should be connected, because I remember that there is only one underground river around here, and all the water here comes from that underground river."

"That underground river should be connected to the sea, right?"

"yes, what's wrong, Albert, did you find anything?"

Jonathan thought of something, but as if he couldn't be sure, he just shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just trying to find out." ”

Fernando continued: "Because of the connection to the underground river, the water level here also fluctuates from time to time, from deep during the flood season to shallow during the dry season. ”

"What time is it?" Deng Jinbo on the side asked.

"It's a dry season, the deepest part may only be a few tens of meters, if the light is good, you should be able to see the bottom of the pool, you see the sun shining in the water, isn't it very clear?" Fernando pointed to the sun-drenched area in the middle of the water, where the water was royal blue and crystal clear, and the water seemed to be unobstructed.

Everyone looked at the water area and wanted to explore the scene at the bottom of the pool, but gradually found that something was wrong, first the first mate Li Gang pointed to the water and said something to Gu Yuliang, and then Gu Yuliang went to talk to Chen Ming and Ye Wei, and then the two immediately ran back to the stone steps of the rock wall, and stopped in the middle of the stone steps to look down on the entire deep pool.

"What's wrong?" Everyone was nervous.

"First mate, what did you just say to Inspector Gu?" Chen Bo and Xue Panru asked the first mate Li Gang.

The first mate motioned for everyone to leave the water's edge first, and then said in a calm tone as much as possible: "There seems to be something under the water, Ye Wei and Chen Ming have already gone to the place with a good line of sight above to confirm." ”

"Huh? What is it? ”

"I don't know, I only saw a long black shadow just now......" Hearing the first mate say this, everyone suddenly felt a little creepy, and Lin Fan had an indescribable premonition.

Immediately afterwards, Fernando and Jonathan were also taken by Deng Jinbo to the stone steps of the rock wall, and when they arrived at the place where Chen Ming and Ye Wei were standing, the two looked at the pool below, as if their faces suddenly changed, and they were busy waving on the stone steps to signal everyone to leave from the bottom of the pit.

Under the leadership of Gu Yuliang and the first mate Li Gang, everyone hurriedly and orderly climbed up the stone steps, when Lin Fan quickly climbed to the middle of the stone steps, he looked back at the pool below, and saw that at the bottom of the part of the pool that was illuminated by the sun, there was a large and long black shadow, which was neither wood nor rock, but like the trunk of some kind of creature, lying quietly under the water.

Lin Fan was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his movements froze, and a red dragon suddenly appeared in his mind, the terrifying memory made him ignore the stone steps under his feet, he only felt that his feet were empty, and then the whole person fell to the side, the smooth rock walls and stone steps had nothing for him to climb, he only heard everyone's exclamations, and then the whole person slipped off the stone steps and fell into the pool where a huge black shadow was lying down.
