It stands to reason that it is not difficult to see the face of the statue, but we look up from the bottom up, and no matter where we go, we still can't see clearly because of the angle, and I feel annoyed in my heart, and the feeling of bad luck for the statue is getting stronger and stronger.

Boss Wang probably has the same feeling as me, the more I want to see, the more I can't see clearly, anxious his face sè iron blue, we changed a few places, are not satisfied, and finally decided to climb over the collapsed plank road first, the rock wall here is full of tree roots, it will not be much difficulty to climb up, plus there are several layers of plank road below, if you stumble will not fall to death, there is nothing to worry about.

We returned to the edge of the collapsed plank road again, Boss Wang checked the strength of those hanging roots, hung it with a multi-functional pickaxe, and climbed to the cliff with agility, I turned on his flashlight to illuminate it, while cursing him to fall, but unfortunately this Boss Wang's skills and his body shape are very incompatible, three times five divided by two, has climbed to the opposite bank, jumped onto the plank road.

He turned around and threw the multi-purpose pickaxe back to me, and then ran forward on his own, probably anxious to see what was on it, I turned on the headlamp on my head, and climbed the cliff in his example, hanging the multi-purpose pickaxe in one hand, and touching the roots with the other, these things have grown for I don't know how many years, and they feel like stones, and they are hard and abnormal, and they don't seem to have life. The lines on it also look like animal scales, and if you look at them almost, you must think it's some kind of paleontological fossil.

I climbed very carefully and slowly, only halfway up the distance, I heard Boss Wang shout: "Come to me, you can see it more clearly here, there seems to be more than one statue in that tree, I don't know what it is carved." ”

I heard his words, gritted my teeth, used my hands and feet together, and finally grabbed a whisker and swung to the other side, and then chased his flashlight, and saw that he had gone up three floors around the plank road, and was holding a telescope to check the situation of the copper tree, I looked at the place where he was looking, because of the change in angle, I could indeed see that there were some things wrapped in the roots of the tree, but what it was, it was still very vague.

Panting and panting, I took his binoculars, and I could see clearly that there were many rusty bronze arms exposed in the huge mass of roots like pythons, and judging by the numbers, there should be at least four statues standing in four directions. It is impossible to tell exactly whether it is the same shape by the exposed parts, and the other parts are deeply wrapped in the roots of the tree, and when you look at it, the size is very large, about the same size as the stone we saw on the cliff.

The "great benefit" that Lao Itch said will not be these terrifying roots, it must be these things that need to be wrapped in the roots, but even if these statues are really of great value, we can't take them away. There should be something strange on the other side that we don't know, and we will never find it if we stay here, so we must go over.

We continued to walk along the plank road, because * near the end of the upper part of the cave, the distance between the cliff wall and the copper tree is gradually approaching, we see more and more clearly, the top of the copper tree should have a prototype sacrifice platform, there are four bronze statues in four directions, originally we thought that we could see the real mask of the statue in a few directions, but the more we go up, the more disappointed, their bodies and faces are firmly wrapped in the roots, want to see clearly, I am afraid it is impossible not to cut off these roots.

We came to the place on the plank road that was basically parallel to the sacrificial platform, Boss Wang stopped and looked at it for a while, and said to me: "These four statues are placed in the four corners, indicating that there must be something in the center, originally if our equipment is there, we can go up a distance and use the spotlight to shine clearly, but unfortunately these things have fallen into the waterfall, no way, after the birth of a child, we have to go over and talk about it." As he spoke, he had folded back the bladed end of the multi-purpose pickaxe, folded the hook out, tied it to the rope, made a flying claw, and threw it out after a few laps like a western cowboy.

The multi-functional pickaxe threw a parabola, hooked it to a tree root on the side of the sacrificial platform on the opposite side, circled a few times, and hooked back to the rope, Boss Wang tightened, and the root of the tree shook a little, and many strange gray insects came out of the gap in the root of the tree, and fled in all directions, very fast.

Boss Wang frowned and said, "Hou Shengzi, this time you should go first!" I knew that he was taboo about these insects, so he cursed in his heart, and looked at the distance, this place was much closer than when we climbed just now, and it shouldn't be a big problem, so he nodded and climbed on the rope.

After only a few steps, I can't help but admire Boss Wang, this rope is really good, the two ends are at an angle of about 60 degrees downward slope, as long as the legs clamp the rope, it will naturally slide to the opposite side, without spending a little effort, I crossed the volley, and immediately arrived at the roots on the sacrificial platform, and immediately grasped the roots on it and stood firm.

Boss Wang made a gesture on the opposite side, let me explore the form first, I looked back, those gray insects are not cocktails, but a kind of insects similar to cicada larvae, there are quite a lot of them, but there should be no harm, I drove them away, made a gesture to Boss Wang on the opposite side, he used a flashlight to shine around me, to make sure that there are really no insects before climbing on the rope. At this time, I suddenly wanted to untie the rope at once and let him fall like this, but after thinking about it, it was a pity that his backpack fell, no matter what, his equipment must be brought over, when I thought about it, Boss Wang had already slid over and fell to my side, and I had no chance to harm him.

The roots of the trees here are almost the thickness of my two or three thighs, the tangled together and the places that have been fused together, and the places that have not been touched together have been hollowed out into holes, and after a long time, there are many places that have been melted together, and the hollow holes inside are extending in all directions, which is very common in the banyan tree, where there are large banyan trees, and even the whole forest is glued together, and a tree hole is connected to a tree hole inside, and you can't get out when you go in, and it is more evil than a ghost forest......

I grabbed the roots of the tree and turned around, and found that the age here is too long, the package is very thorough, I can't see what is below, these roots can't be cut, I don't know how to be good, stay for a while, Boss Wang said that you may have to look down from the wisps between these roots to see, let's look for it separately, a hole by hole, you can definitely see.

I said in my heart that it was so thick that it was unlikely, but he wasn't ready to discuss it with me, so he just raised his hand and told me to do it.

I vaguely feel that this person is very violent, similar to the Wang Fat Man I knew before, and the heart said that the two of them should not be relatives, but my Wang Fat Man is much cuter, and very refreshing, this person is too yīn, although he laughs on the surface. These tree roots are like a grave here, and they can't shine into those hollow holes with a flashlight, and we have been doing it for a long time, and we are tired of sweating, or I can't see anything, and I still have a flash in my waist, and I am sore and cold sweat.

The two of them had no choice now, Boss Wang looked at me, and suddenly scolded: "Bastard, is it difficult for Li Pipa, a decrepit person, to calculate me?" "I also muttered in my heart, since there is nothing here, why does Lao Itch emphasize it so much, he shouldn't make such a boring joke, the problem is still with us. Where is it and where is it overlooked? Neither of them spoke. Sitting there quietly thinking about things, I thought about the lie that the old itch had come all the way to tell me, and this lie, no matter what kind of state of mind it was, was nothing more than trying to lead me to this place. But when I got here, I didn't see anything, and what is the so-called benefit that I can't tell me, and even if I knew, I wouldn't do it? I still don't see it at all. Just as I was thinking about it, Boss Wang suddenly pushed me, I turned my head to speak, and he made a few gestures. I said what to do, he waved his hand, carefully pulled me to squat, carefully listened to the roots of the tree, I immediately listened calmly, there was no wind here, in this silent cave, against the roots, clearly heard a slight sound from the roots...... Target...... The sound of "......" seems to be someone grinding their teeth from the cold. The sound was not loud, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to hear it, it was very phonetic, completely different from the sound of a bloody corpse, and it wouldn't be the sound of those insects crawling in the trunk of a tree.

Boss Wang said softly: "The interval between each sound of this voice is the same length, as if it was a monk knocking on a wooden fish, there may be some kind of sound of organ action, there is indeed something in it, but I don't know if it is a living thing or a dead thing." "I also began to sweat white, these thousands of years old tree roots actually have people grinding their teeth, is it because I met the tree demon, I just wanted to speak, Boss Wang pursed his mouth and shook his head, raised the short rifle and pulled the bolt, let me follow, I walked to the edge of a banyan tree hole, and found that the sound came from here, Boss Wang turned on the flashlight and shone into the hole, and the sound stopped abruptly. He glanced at me and whispered, "That's right, it should be here, what your friend and the "River Wood Collection" said is here, you may have to enter from here." ”

I frowned and said, "The root system cave in here is very complicated, much more complex than the cave system of those karst cave terrains, and I don't know if this copper pillar is hollow, and it may be dangerous to rush in." He nodded and said, "I know, so the two of us don't go in at the same time, let's go down and explore the way first." ”

I chuckled in my heart, and said you don't want me in. Boss Wang saw that I hesitated, raised the short rifle, and said softly: "I'm too fat, you go down first, I'll follow you, give it to your palace, don't worry, nothing will happen." With that, he shoved me and shoved me into the hole.

I looked down at the bottom, it was pitch black, and when I looked back, he was looking at me with a stern look on his face. I gritted my teeth, so I had to put on my headlamp again, and once again act as the horn of the thunder, and just wanted to go in, the fat boss stopped me again, handed me a small walkie-talkie, and said: "If it's very deep inside, use this gizzard, go, the future has a future." I said in my heart that there is such a good thing, why don't you take it out earlier, take it, familiarize yourself with the use of it first, and then put it in your pocket, and said: "Boss Wang, why don't you talk darkly, I'm going to work hard for you, how about you have to give me some weapons, in case I hang in it, you won't have a good time, right, you give me a gun, and you have to give me a cold weapon, right?" ”

Boss Wang glanced at me vigilantly, probably thinking that what I said was also reasonable, and reluctantly took out a small dagger from his boots and threw it to me, and at the same time the muzzle of the gun was immediately pointed at me, and said with a smile: "You see that I am confused, so I forgot about it." "I took the dagger, and found that it was a long-handled hunting knife, specially used for peeling, and my heart said that something is better than nothing, and I made a noise, and lowered my head into the hole, smelled a musty smell, and took the gas mask that came before continuing to crawl inside. The inside is very cháo wet, the skin of the roots is completely different from the outside, very soft, there are many unknown mushrooms growing in it, many cicada larvae were frightened by me and began to flee, I climbed in for a while, and froze, at least a few forks appeared in front of me, which one should I go?

Take a closer look, there is a mark on one of the forks, which should have been drawn by the predecessors, I don't know if it's an old itch or someone else? Anyway, I crawled to a marked fork in the ground, and advanced a few more meters, when suddenly the front was empty, and my upper body had already poked out. I hung my upper body at the mouth of the hole, and the searchlight on my head shone around, and it was a small hollow, and it was full of roots, and to be honest, it was just a place where the roots were relatively sparse in the whole root bag, and I was wondering why this was happening, and suddenly I saw a stone slab peeking out of the root of the tree. Take a closer look, it turned out to be a huge coffin, there is a coffin bed under the coffin, and now it is also wrapped in a sturdy one, judging from the distance I just climbed, this should be the middle of the sacrificial platform That's right, this is what we are looking for. I used my hands and feet together to come to the edge of the sarcophagus that showed a corner, and then I saw clearly that this thing was not ordinarily large, almost like a small shipping container, the edge of the coffin lid was the same as on the copper tree, yīn was engraved with a circle of clouds and thunder, and the other parts were almost with the roots of the tree, and it was impossible to know what relief was on it.

Boss Wang yelled twice outside, I was blinded by it, and I didn't reply to him, he thought I went down to the copper tree, and asked from the walkie-talkie: "Hou Shengzi, what's in it?" ”

"There's a coffin!" I said, trying to find a place where I could at least sit up, it was too uncomfortable to crawl.

"Coffin? Can you tell whose it is? ”

I scolded: "How do I know, but it's not easy to transport this coffin here, and the one who is so excited may be the cultivator of this bronze tree." "Put your coffin here, probably thinking that when you ascend to heaven, you will be closer to the heavenly palace, and I don't know what kind of character this is with such a big stroke.

At this time, I saw that the lid of the coffin and the coffin were not tightly closed, and a section of tree root had grown into the coffin along the gap, and the lid was lifted a little. Boss Wang was very nervous when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"This coffin...... The lid is not properly covered. I said, crawling towards the gap, could it be that the coffin was not covered when the person was buried so that the roots of the tree could grow in? I thought about it, and I didn't think it would be, maybe the tiny roots grew under the coffin lid and continued to grow thicker, and the lid was lifted, these roots extend in all directions, maybe they have already covered this coffin, the surface layer is so hard, even if these guys in our hands can cut it, we don't know if they can dig it out in the Year of the Monkey. I climbed to the edge of the gap and shone it in with a searchlight, and it seemed to be completely empty, gray, and the light seemed to absorb something, and nothing could shine out.

Historically, in archaeology, it is the most troublesome to get the coffin out of the coffin, the regular coffin is the coffin wall against the coffin wall, at most leaving you a centimeter of space is very good, this one is anti-cháo flow, there is a considerable space inside, very weird, I don't know what to pay attention to. The burial customs of the Western Zhou Dynasty have been relatively mature, even the nobles of the palace will not use such an outrageous burial method, it seems that Master Liang is right, this should be a royal tomb of ethnic minorities, and this national strength does not seem to be weak, at least the Western Zhou Dynasty at that time should not be equal. I picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "This coffin is empty, I don't know what is in it, my searchlight is not as powerful as your flashlight, it's too dark, you can come in, it's safe here." "Saying that, I have crawled towards the hole I just poked out, and my heart said that as soon as you poke your head out, Lao Tzu will jam you, see how you are half.

The walkie-talkie made a few static interference sounds, and a few sounds came in there, which I couldn't hear clearly.

"What?" I asked

With a few static disturbances, some strange sounds came through the walkie-talkie, very noisy, and not inaudible at all.

"What?" I screamed again impatiently.
