When Liu Xiaoge opened his eyes again, what he saw was no longer the dim roof of the cave. Instead, a few worn-out wooden bars, which looked like eaves, Liu Xiaoge supported his body and wanted to stand up, but under this movement, he only felt a splitting headache.

At this time, the little monkey not far away said in a muffled voice: "Yo! Brother, you're awake. Are you hungry, would you like to eat something? Being asked by the little monkey like this, Liu Xiaoge really felt hungry. However, before eating, Liu Xiaoge still has to figure out some things.

So he asked, "Where is the little monkey?" What happened to me just now? The little monkey stuffed the strange fruit into his mouth, and at the same time came up, and continued to say vaguely: "I don't know exactly where this place is, you have to ask Li Xuemei, but she is guarding the door for this job." Do you want me to help you get her in? ”

Liu Xiaoge waved his hand to signal that forget it, don't get excited, Li Xinwen sat up with the support of the little monkey. Looking at the strangely shaped fruit in the little monkey's hand, he wondered, "I remember that we don't have this kind of fruit in our dry food." The little monkey continued to gobble up, "No, this fruit grows under the ground." It's okay to eat it with confidence, Li Xuemei said that this fruit can be eaten. Eating compressed biscuits every day, the bird has long faded out of my mouth. Although there is no big fish and meat to eat, it is also excellent to eat some fruit to change the taste. ”

Liu Xiaoge carefully observed the fruit in his hand, the fruit was not large, the shape was oval, and the whole body was red and bright. Each one is about the same size as grapes, Liu Xiaoge looked at this red and gorgeous fruit a little unspeakable, after all, he had also seen Bei Ye's wilderness survival, and knew that the more gorgeous things in the wild, the more poisonous they were.

When Liu Xiaoge was still struggling with whether to eat or not, Li Xinwen walked in, she glanced at Liu Xiaoge and saw through Liu Xiaoge's careful thoughts, and said, "You can eat it with confidence, this fruit can be eaten." I don't know what the specific scientific name of this fruit is, but we all call him Blood Bodhi. ”

The little monkey also added: "That's right, there are things that have been done in the TV series Fengyun, Nie Feng went into the Qilin Cave to eat this, and then his skills have increased greatly." Liu Xiaoge couldn't complain, and he said that he could believe what was played in the TV series?

Li Xinwen added: "Although it doesn't have the effect of improving skill in the TV series, it is still a good choice to quench hunger and thirst." This kind of thing is rare to come across, and it must be found in places where geothermal energy is active. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoge is no longer hypocritical, and after swallowing a few like jujubes, he found that the sweet and sour taste is really good. At this time, Li Xinwen looked at the little monkey who was still eating violently and reminded: "Don't eat too much, although it should be non-toxic, but it's always bad to eat too much of anything." ”

The little monkey reluctantly put down the blood bodhi in his hand, and after eating and drinking, Liu Xiaoge felt that he had recovered a lot. Only then did I have the leisure to talk about what had happened before I fell unconscious.

It turned out that a few hours ago, Liu Xiaoge was still in the illusion set up by the corpse boy, and at this time, the little monkey and Li Xinwen were trapped on the black platform on the highest floor. As soon as Li Xinwen came up, she found that something was wrong, and she wanted to go back, but it was too late at this time, and they encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

There was no other route to take on the high platform, and the only steps leading to the bottom became endless, originally only a few tens of meters of steps. But no matter how the two of them walk, they can't go down, this step is like a smart elevator, and no matter how you go, it's still in place.

There was no way to move half a step away, and in this case they knew they were in trouble. Li Xinwen is a good hand at dealing with traps or something, but in the face of such a mysterious force, she has no way at all.

Just when the two were helpless, Liu Xiaoge appeared, and he walked up slowly from the second layer of the black platform. Soon walked to the two of them, and the little monkey found that Liu Xiaoge at this moment was not the same as Liu Xiaoge before, he was walking with his eyes closed.

This thing is also weird, the steps that could not be completed just now, under the leadership of Liu Xiaoge, soon they returned to the third high platform. Walking to the small seal ink in the middle of the black platform, Liu Xiaoge stopped.

Suddenly, he shouted, took out his lighter, and pointed at a strange pattern next to the ink relief on the ground. Being lighted by such a point, an incredible scene happened. The entire third-floor platform was quickly ignited, and the flames spread wildly along the ravine.

It didn't take long for the entire third-floor platform to burn with a raging fire, and the two almost thought that Liu Xiaoge was crazy, and when they wanted to pull Liu Xiaoge, Liu Xiaoge suddenly fainted with a crooked neck. As the fire continued to burn, just when both of them felt that they were finished, they were going to be roasted to death here.

There were two terrible screams from the fire, followed by black smoke rising from the black platform, the black smoke was very thick, and the smell was very unpleasant. It tastes like burnt meat, and has an indescribable nausea.

Not long after, just as the two of them were about to die of black smoke, the black smoke and fire began to gradually decrease, and the terrible screams also stopped. At this time, when I looked at the third floor of the platform, I found that the entire platform was no longer black, but turned into the inherent turquoise of bronze, and the most strange thing was that there was no trace of burning on this bronze platform.

Liu Xiaoge heard them say this, and added with a long sigh: "We were all trapped in the illusion at that time, in fact, from the moment we stepped into the black platform, we had already been tricked, and everything we saw in front of us was fake. To put it simply, the whole black table was cursed with witchcraft.

Maybe because I was a member of the Dao Sect, such a spell didn't work much for me, so the corpse boy who guarded the spell launched a separate illusion attack on me. Let me fall into a different illusion than you, which is also a double illusion. If it weren't for the fact that these two corpse boys inadvertently exposed their weaknesses and were annihilated by me in one fell swoop, we would probably still be trapped on the black platform. ”

Hearing this, the little monkey continued to ask: "Then tell me quickly, how did you seize the weakness of the corpse children and annihilate them?" Liu Xiaoge just smiled mysteriously, waved his finger and said, "The Buddha said, don't say, don't say." The little monkey scolded with a smile: "Damn, Liu Xiaoge, you are a fake Taoist, see that I don't flatten you." ”

After arguing for a while, the two regrouped and walked out of the cabin. After coming out, Liu Xiaoge found that his group was still underground, and above their heads was a layer of soil supported by a wooden frame. When I was inside, I thought it was a wooden house, but when I came out and looked at it, this pattern was a bit like a cave.

Like the caves that Liu Xiaoge and they just rested in, there are many caves, and there are caves on both sides of the entire artificial tunnel. Roughly speaking, there were at least several hundred, and the front of the cave door was wrapped in a strange vine thing, and on top of this vine thing was the kind of blood bodhi fruit they had just eaten.

However, at this moment, the torches on both sides of the entire tunnel were lit by Li Xinwen, and the entire tunnel was illuminated. Looking at these buildings and plants, Liu Xiaoge seems to see that thousands of years ago, countless craftsmen lived in this dark bottom in order to build the royal tomb.

That kind of loneliness and depression is really difficult to understand, and I can't help but feel and say: "The slaves in ancient times were really bitter, so we all have to learn to be content in the present." Li Xinwen picked up a torch and said while leading the way: "This is not a place where hard laborers live. ”

Liu Xiaoge was a little puzzled by Li Xinwen's words, and asked, "Why do you say that?" Li Xinwen explained: "It's so neat here, if it's a place where hard workers live, the conditions must be very poor." Those hard laborers have been squeezed to the limit, how can they still go to hygiene?

I checked it out, although the facilities in the cave seem to us to be relatively rudimentary now. But more than 2,000 years ago, such a living environment can be said to be a mansion, each room has more than 30 square meters, and the production is meticulous. At that time, the people were very poor, and the general farmhouses were not as good as half of them here. So it's either for the military, or for some special people. ”

Listening to Li Xinwen's analysis, Liu Xiaoge also felt very reasonable, and was pondering Li Xinwen's words. The tunnel in front of them had come to an end, and the three of them were empty, and they came to a relatively large basement.

In the middle of the basement is a smoky hot spring, and next to the hot spring are several artificial aqueducts. The hot spring is guided to a workshop-like place next to it, with a furnace and a platform, and it is exactly like a smelting factory from a thousand years ago.

The little monkey was stunned, walked quickly to a warehouse-like place, picked up his flashlight and shone it inside. Liu Xiaoge was also a little excited, these bronzes from thousands of years ago, and if they have not been used, they are worth a lot of money, and they are completely national treasures in good condition.

So I also went up to see, but unfortunately although there were many wooden shelves in the warehouse, at the moment the shelves were empty, and there was nothing. Li Xinwen walked over unhurriedly and said: "In this way, it seems that this should be the place where the smelting craftsmen work, the caves in front of them are all cleaned up, and all the bronzes that can be found here are ghosts." ”

The little monkey obviously didn't believe in evil, and if there was nothing in the warehouse, it didn't mean that there was no other place, so he beckoned Liu Xiaoge and the two of them to start looking in the smelting area. As college students studying archaeology, they naturally know a little about the steps of making bronzes.

The bronze making is roughly divided into several steps, each of which has a separate area within it. This first part is the process of making pottery molds, which is commonly used here, because I see a lot of pottery fragments, but there is no kiln mouth, obviously the pottery that makes the mold is no longer made here, and the pottery used here is transported from outside. So this first regional moulding area yielded almost nothing except a few broken pottery shards.

This second step is to make a model, this model is similar to the area where the mold is made, and the natural result is also similar, and nothing is obtained. This brings us to the third step, the pouring zone. After the model is made, the smelted bronze water is poured down, and after it cools, it is formed.

This area is also exceptionally clean on the back, even cleaner than the previous ones, almost spotless. The last step is trimming, which is combined with the refining area. This bronze needs to be refined from the ore, and after it is dissolved directly, there will be impurities, so it needs to be refined.

After the search of the first three districts, Liu Xiaoge is still standing with Li Xinwen, and he doesn't have much hope, it is true that this place must have been deliberately cleaned up, and there will definitely be no valuable things left, even if it is found, it will be defective. Although it is old, the defective product is always a defective product, and the value is not too high.

But the little monkey didn't give up, he was unwilling to go here, and he didn't gain anything from this trip. Since he brought the gold talisman, the little monkey regarded himself as the captain of the gold school, as the saying goes, the thief does not go empty, how can the little monkey be willing to get nothing, so he came to the gray and white.

After inspecting the perimeter, the little monkey finally focused his eyes on the stove. So with patience, he put his head on the stove and kept shining a flashlight inside. This look really made a discovery, and shouted: "Little brother and big sister, come and see, there is something in this stove." ”
