When the rats had eaten their fill, they swam back to the shore and scattered.

Chu Jian picked up the broken stones on the ground and wanted to throw them out to drive away those big rats that were walking slowly, I stopped him, the rules passed down from my grandfather's generation in our family, the people of the old Hu family are not allowed to hurt the rats, anyway, these rats have no quarrel with people, just let them go.

The fat man scolded: "Lao Hu, you *** This is called appeasement and adultery, it turns out that this water is where the rats take a bath and eat, but the disgusting me, I drank it just now, and I don't know how much mouse feces and urine mouse hair I drank." ”

I said, "Don't mention it, the more you think about it, the more fucking disgusting it becomes, let's stop staying here, change places." ”

No one wanted to drink the water here, so we had to continue to look for the underground river in the depths of the cave, there was no other way here, only a passage, and the sound of running water came from the other end of the passage.

On both sides of this passage there were many artificially dug stone chambers, all of which were equipped with iron fences and large locks, which seemed to be used to hold prisoners, but now they have become rat nests, and the ground is black and full of rat droppings.

Going to the passage in the cave, walking hundreds of meters away, I finally saw a turbulent dark river across the entrance of the cave, this is the Zduyi Dark River that has flowed under the sand sea for thousands of years and has never dried up, the river is not only large, but also very deep, and at its end it will merge with the Tarim River.

However, the inland rivers in the desert of Xinjiang have a characteristic, that is, no matter how large the flow of the river is, it cannot go out of the desert and enter the sea, and the inland rivers and underground rivers of these deserts will eventually be slowly swallowed up by the desert.

On the other side of the river there is another large cave, connected by a black stone bridge, also made of black stone from the Zagrama Mountains, flying over the raging waters of the Zdow River.

In front of the cave at the other end of the black bridge, there is a jack gate, which is half hung up with a large iron chain with the thickness of a human arm, and a huge stone is placed underneath.

Professor Chen was taken aback: "I found that the stone door of the underground palace was blown open before, presumably someone had entered, this gate is so thick, and it is the deepest place on the third floor of this underground palace, it is very likely that this is the resting place of the Absolute Queen." ”

In ancient times, the countries of the Western Regions often set up the tombs of royal family members in the city, instead of opening mountains for mausoleums and repairing tombs according to the mountains like the Han people in the Central Plains, which we have learned in the ancient city of Xiye before, and the ancient tomb of Prince Pumo was built in the holy well of the old city, so it is not surprising that the professor thinks that the ancient tomb of the exquisite queen is under the underground palace.

It's just that everyone thinks it's a little too smooth, there have been expeditions to this underground palace before, and this cave is not hidden, it must have been discovered by predecessors, could it be that the people who entered the queen's mausoleum died in it? What's in there? Could it be that the giant cave in the mural is also in it?

May I ask Professor Chen what he means, to go in or not to go in?

Professor Chen said without hesitation: "Enter!" I have to go and see if the tomb of the Exquisite Queen has been stolen and destroyed, if I don't look at it, I won't die, if this old bone is buried in it, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, I'm so old, I don't care about anything, but you children are still young, you don't want to go, I'll go alone. ”

Shirley Young was loading her camera with new film, didn't lift her head, and said, "Of course, I'll go too." She said it lightly, as if she hadn't thought about whether or not she wanted to enter the tomb of the Absolute Queen, but only a question of whether she would be the first or the second to go in.

I saw that since this was the case, I couldn't help but go in, and if the two of them had a mistake, I would let the fat man stay and take care of the three students.

The fat man was reluctant to hear it: "Why is the job of this nursery aunt all mine?" If you go in, I don't worry, I'll go with you, or we won't go in. Rest assured, I will not take any of the gold and silver treasures in there. ”

When Chu Jiansa Dipeng and the others heard that they would not take them in, they hurriedly pleaded, no matter what, they wanted to go in and have a look, this opportunity was too rare, they had traveled thousands of miles through the black desert, and how much hardship they had endured to come to the Exquisite Ancient City, how could they not look at this most important queen's mausoleum? And if something happens, you can also help everyone.

Everyone is going to go this time, so what about the remaining Ye Yixin, who is weak and awake for a while and confused for a while? Ye Yixin added some cold salt water, and at this moment he already had some strength, and said to everyone: "You must not leave me here alone, my body is fine, I will go in with everyone." ”

I saw that this was troublesome, no matter how big my ability and the fat man were, we couldn't take care of five people, not to mention that there were all old and weak women, and the big man Chu Jian could still help us.

I said to the people, "Why don't you do that, I'll go in alone first, and if there's no danger inside, we'll go in together." If I go in for more than four or five hours and don't come out, don't wait for me, don't enter this tomb again, and get out of here as soon as possible. ”

The fat man said, "No, if you want to go with the two of us, you can take care of it." ”

I patted the fat man on the shoulder: "I'll be alone, my life is fine, in case I have three long and two short, you have to take everyone out safely." ”

Shirley Yang said, "Okay, don't say it so tragically, I'll go with you." ”

I thought I misheard: "You go with me?" Don't be kidding, if there is any danger, I will easily get out by myself, you go with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. ”

Shirley Young said, "I can't say who will take care of whom, and I can't let you venture into the Queen's tomb alone." Saying that, she took the sporting rifle in Chu Jian's hand, pulled the bolt with a bang, and saw that the bullet was full, so she pushed the bolt and loaded the bullet.

The two of us were busy packing up the equipment we had applied, and the fat man whispered to me, "Hey old Hu, I think she hasn't looked at you very well lately, isn't it a little interesting to you?" Where did this start to stick? ”

I laughed and scolded: "I think you have fucking bad eyes, I didn't even see it, you can see it?" I'm not interested in her, we don't dare to ask for a woman who is too strong, besides, our old man wants to see me bring back an American girl, and he has to dismantle me. ”

The fat man said: "It's good that you have this awareness, I'm really afraid that you will find such a daughter-in-law, and no one will look down on people like her who have two stinky money, ***, how did you say that sentence before?" The small leather shoes rattle, and the bourgeois stinks of thought. You're going to have to resist the onslaught of sugar-coated shells. ”

I loaded the assault rifle I had picked up in the valley by the grave robbers, carried the explosives and the sapper shovel on my back, replaced the flashlight with a new spare battery, and held the gold talisman made of the pangolin's claws in my hand for a while: "Please bless you." ”

At this time, Shirley Yang also finished cleaning up, she asked me if I could see the internal structure of this tomb, I said: "I have never heard of this kind of tomb under the city, if I want to look at the structure of a tomb from the outside, I must go through: find the leyline, check the situation, find the star peak, distinguish the water source, measure the direction, determine the acupuncture field, study the depth and so on, and use these feng shui techniques to determine the age and internal structure of the ancient tomb, but this tomb is under the city, such an ancient tomb, I have seen it for the first time, there is a bridge and water in front of the tomb door, and the theory of feng shui, I really can't see what is famous in the tomb. Let's be careful when we go in, especially be careful not to trigger any traps, and the most important thing to watch out for is the kind of strange snakes with black eyes on their heads, they move very fast, and it is difficult to dodge. ”

Shirley Young nodded, and walked across the stone bridge first, I followed closely, and under the watchful eyes of the other five people, the two of us crossed the black stone bridge one after the other, and got under the jack gate.
