After listening to Xia Qing's explanation, the fat man touched his chin on the side, and kept nodding his head: "It makes sense, it really makes sense, but Xia Qing, if all this is really as you said, then this secret room for reflection, can it only have one entrance?" Isn't that the one we just came in? ”

Xia Qing thought about it, but shook his head and said: "The ancients followed two principles for the construction of the secret room, the so-called dense but not really ugly, and entering but not passing into the hole, that is to say, although the secret room is made secret, but the building itself is not stable enough, such a secret room can only be called an ordinary house, and the secret room can only be entered, but there is no passage to connect it, just like a cave, it can not meet the requirements of the use of the secret room, so if the ancients want to build a secret room, they will definitely meet these two conditions, one is to have a stable and reliable building form, The second is to set up a secret passage connection in the secret room, so the turnstile we came in just now I think it's just an entrance, and if I look at it this way, I can basically guess what happened when we fell down just now. ”

Gao Chao and the fat man listened attentively, and the fat man hurriedly said: "Then you should talk about it quickly!" ”

Xia Qing said: "The ancients had a habit of treating criminals, that is, to execute in public, to show everyone not to break the law, this habit is said to have been there since the ancient Dayu, so it developed to the Xia and Shang periods, many criminals were to be executed in broad daylight, in front of the people, and the choice of execution place, it is more crowded places, or it is very convenient for everyone to watch, so you think about it, if in this ancient city of Yinshan, if you want to execute criminals, but also let everyone see it." Where is the best place to be? ”

As soon as Xia Qing asked, Gao Chao and the fat man glanced at each other, and suddenly thought of a place.

The fat man preemptively said, "You mean the top of the pyramid?" ”

Xia Qing nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Yes, it is the top of the pyramid, if you want to show everyone, the top of the pyramid is undoubtedly the best position, so I guess that the Wu people at that time were likely to be at the top of the pyramid, publicly try those criminals, and then execute them on the spot, for those who were sentenced to death, they may be directly beheaded, and then sacrificed with blood, and those who do not deserve to die may be pushed down into the hole at the top of the tower, that is, where we fell just now, but those criminals fell from above, If they were still alive, they would be thrown into this secret room in a wet manner, and they would be allowed to suffer in it, looking at the heads on the walls that had been thinking about the walls, and reflecting on their mistakes. ”

After listening to Xia Qing's analysis, Gao Chao and the fat man's hearts suddenly brightened, Gao Chao couldn't help but admire Xia Qing a little, and said in his heart that this girl is really amazing, how can her imagination be so rich, it seems that archaeology is really not something anyone can do.

However, the fat man said at this time: "Xia Qing, I have a deep understanding when you say this, this is really not a ancient thing, I am now soaking wet, and I am locked up here, it is indeed a crime, so you should think about it now, since there must be a secret passage here, where is the entrance to the secret passage?" Hurry up, if I stay here a little longer, I'll be going crazy! ”

Hearing the fat man say this, Xia Qing said helplessly: "I can only guess that there should be a secret passage here, but I can't find it either, this is not my strong point." ”

As he spoke, Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao, as if he was saying to Gao Chao, you have to do this kind of thing.

Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing, and was also a little embarrassed, and said in his heart You said that there is a secret passage here, I believe it, but I am not a corpse toucher who digs for sand, how to find the entrance to the secret passage, how do I know.

However, although Gao Chao is helpless, he is also responsible, after all, among the three of them, he is now the most capable.

So Gao Chao called the fat man together, and started to look for it from the skull wall on one side, and touched it one by one, just to see if there were any mechanisms or the like, but after looking for a long time, I touched many dead people's heads, but I didn't find the slightest clue.

At this time, Xia Qing seemed to have discovered something, so she quickly asked the fat man to raise the torch, and then she went from one side of the wall to the other alone, as if she was counting the number of heads on the wall one by one.

Gao Chao didn't know what was going on, but it wasn't good to ask questions now, so he could only stand aside and watch Xia Qing go about his business.

After a while, Xia Qing seemed to have come to his senses, turned his head to look at Gao Chao and said with a smile: "I know!" ”

Gao Chao was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you know?" Let's talk about it. ”

Xia Qing said: "I counted just now, the number of heads on each stone bar is a singular number, generally around 37 or 39, but only the number on the side of the stone bar is a double number, and it is 34." ”

As Xia Qing spoke, he walked to one side of the wall, then looked up, pointed to a very high stone bar, and said, "I'm talking about that stone bar, you see." ”

Gao Chao and the fat man also came to him, Gao Chao looked up, except for the stone bar is very high, almost more than three meters from the ground, it seems that there is nothing special to find, but the number of heads connected in series on it is indeed 34, but what does this mean?

The fat man also counted it, and then nodded and said, "Xia Qing, I don't mean anything else, but I want to say, the number of heads on this is 34, so what does it matter?" Doesn't that mean anything? Is there anything strange about the number 34? ”

Xia Qing shook his head and said: "The number 34 is very ordinary, like other numbers, it doesn't have any special significance, but haven't you noticed?" 34 is missing at least 3 numbers compared to 37, or 39. ”

Gao Chao was even more confused, and said with a puzzled face: "But what does it matter if there are 3 numbers missing?" Could it be that these three numbers have some other meaning? ”

Xia Qing sighed, obviously disappointed in Gao Chao and the fat man, but she still patiently explained: "It's not a big deal to miss 3 numbers, and there is no special meaning, but you should always think that on a stone bar of the same length, if there are 3 heads missing, it means that the gaps between these heads are much larger than those on other stone bars." ”

Gao Chao and the fat man nodded at the same time, they couldn't help but admit this, but the two of them still hadn't understood what Xia Qing meant, so they could only look at Xia Qing at the moment, waiting for her to continue to make it clear.

Xia Qing continued: "If this is the case, then we should be very easy to see that there are 3 less skulls on it, because these heads should be movable, in that case, there will be a big gap, but you look at it now, can you find that there is a big gap between these heads?" ”

Gao Chao and the fat man looked at the stone bar again, and it was true that they could not see at a glance that there were 3 less heads on it than the others, so both of them shook their heads again, but no one spoke.

Xia Qing then said again: "Do you know why this is? ”
