Chapter 4: Unannounced Visits

Xiaoshi Village, Jinning City, Yunnan Province.

Although it has been a scorching heat these days, it still can't resist the enthusiasm of a few people.

After preparing some utensils, in order not to attract the attention of the surroundings, my father deliberately found the village chief of Xiaoshi Village and explained it.

At this time, the five of them came to the previous waterhole again. "Dad, this is it," I pointed to the waterhole, occasionally holding a flashlight to shine through the hole in front of me.

Dad first went into the pool, Wang Ping followed closely with his bag in both hands, and the rest of the people began to go into the water one after another.

Gradually, a piece of land appeared in front of me, and it was paved with stone slabs, and in front of the vision was a thick wall, and in front of me it looked like a corridor, "Everyone be careful, there may be some mechanism set up by the predecessors in this place" Dad reminded. Wang Ping turned on the flashlight and walked forward first, followed by the rest of the others.

The surrounding area is just a long corridor, there is a glimmer of light in front of them, and the five of them walked cautiously, and in about ten minutes, there was another corridor on the right-hand side.

I saw my father stop and stare at the stone statue in the corner, and wondered, "Dad, what are you looking at?" ”。

Father's brows were furrowed, and he was talking to himself, and when he saw everyone looking at him together, he said, "This stone statue is placed in a strange position, and you see, there is a bronze mirror on the belly of the stone statue. If you look at it again, there are several air holes in the sky directly above the stone statue, and the light is projected through the air holes, which shines on the bronze mirror on the stone statue's body, and is refracted to the corridor in front of it, and this angle is set too accurately."

I felt my head grow for a while, "Dad, are you thinking too much?" There isn't enough light in the room, so isn't this stone statue just right to show us the way? ”

Wei Hua smiled and looked around the stone statue, "Uncle Qin, what Xiao Ke said is right, maybe you are thinking too much"

As if out of his rich experience in archaeology, my father's brows were still furrowed, "No, Xiao Wang, you look around this stone statue to see if there is anything suspicious, I don't feel wrong in my decades of occupation."

Several people stopped on the side, Wang Ping held a flashlight around him, coming and going no less than ten times, and found nothing.

In this way, the five of them walked towards the front again, and after not going far, they were surprised to find that another stone statue suddenly appeared in front of them, and it was very similar to the previous stone statue in design. At his father's request, Wang Ping used a flashlight to illuminate the surrounding scenes, but still found nothing.

Then the five of them walked down the corridor again, and after half an hour, they actually returned to the original point.

Now everyone knows that this is a secret room, rectangular in shape, and there is a stone statue at the four corners, and there is nothing else to be found.

Dad was half-squatting on the ground, with an extra question board in his hand, "Wang Ping shines the light on the question board."

Let's work backwards now, Old Tang, your role is the one who created this secret room, and I am the one who wants to break the secret room. Suppose I've found the exit, and before I find the exit, I'm going to keep exploring the surroundings and find some useful information, but you, Don, as the person who made the secret room, don't want me to do this, creating a lot of obstacles, such as the stone wall next to us now, which restricts the range of movement, and there is no other way except for four corridors. In this way, let's go one more round.

The five of them walked around again, this time they walked very slowly, but they felt that the past was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to come to the original point again, "Lao Qin, I think we should go back and think about it again, my old waist can't help but toss so much."

Wait, have you noticed that the place of this stone statue is very strange. It's angle, angle! The light shines through the pores onto the copper mirror, which in turn refracts through the mirror onto the corridor. With this stone statue, when we walk, due to blind spots, and the dim light, we can't see the corridor on the right, but with this stone statue, the light shines on the right, we naturally think that the right side is the road through the observation of our eyes, and follow the light refracted by the bronze mirror, everything seems so natural, but we are always going back and forth, the problem is in the light of this stone statue. Let's go over here, Xiao Ke, you have practiced martial arts, and then step on the stone statue and take something to block the air hole on the top.

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the face of the father was full of excitement, and several people walked towards the stone statue in front of them. I jumped onto the stone statue and took out a few tissues to hide the blowhole. The side in front of him suddenly darkened, "What is that, look".

The light dimmed, but on the wall, but suddenly appeared a mural, in the middle of which there was a large altar, in front of the altar there were many people prostrate, praying sincerely, "It seems to be a sacrificial ritual in ancient times, and the fabric on this wall seems to belong to a kind of fluorescent powder." Xiao Wang, you get some down, go back to chemical analysis, and we'll take a look at the other three stone statues."

Next, I plugged the air holes in turn, and there were things on the other two walls, except for one wall when I came in, and one wall had a groove that was the exit. What is surprising is that the content of the last piece of the wall is really peculiar, the wall is engraved with many incomprehensible character marks, there is a general in armor, it looks really majestic, and what is even more amazing is that there is an English made, the, heavens, have, I know, it means to create heaven and earth, just the same as what Uncle Tang said before. And after this English, there is a sentence of Old English, which is really surprising.

When my father saw this, he immediately became interested, "What's going on, Old Tang, do you understand the meaning of the above English sentences?" ”。

Lao Tang has not stretched his brows since he saw the handwriting on it, and after hearing his father's voice, the whole person woke up, "Lao Qin, this sentence of ancient English can be known when you go back to check the information, the main problem is that many of the characters on it are simply not exquisite, and it is gratifying that the characters on this are the same in several places in the notebook, which is considered a breakthrough." I just don't know who this general is? ”。

Click! Wang Ping took out his camera and took dozens of photos, "In my opinion, according to the general's clothing, it can be determined that he is a general of a small number of famous ethnic groups, and from its overall momentum, the official rank should not be low." And judging from the boots he wears on his feet, he originated from the ancient Qiang people, and there should be a certain connection with the ancient Qiang people."

Dad cast an approving look, "Xiao Wang, your reasoning is good", and then continued: "Not only from the boots he wears, you see the hat on his head, called the cymbal crown, this cymbal crown was very popular in the Yuan Dynasty, and has always been the favorite thing of the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty, and the people who wore it gradually decreased in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Based on this, we can lock this person to be in the period from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Xiao Wang, have you recorded everything? The exit has been found, let's check it again, everyone be careful."

They came to the recess and removed the stone slab that covered it, and two knockers suddenly appeared inside. Wang Ping and Wei Hua each held one in their hands and pulled it out, and the sound of a gear turning sounded.

The ground shook violently, and the stone slabs suddenly spread out on both sides, revealing a deep hole.

Several people looked at each other, Wang Ping got in first, and Wei Hua and I followed closely behind.
