Behind the gate was a long, narrow ramp downward, the slope was extremely steep, and Shirley Young threw down a cold fire, which rolled for a long time before it came to an end, and where the cold smoke stopped, its light was too small to be seen.

I gasped, if this was really a graveyard, it would be too long, there were no bodies nearby, and if there was an ambush on this ramp, then those who had come in before would have left some traces.

Even so, we didn't dare to be careless, and if we took a wrong step, we could be crushed, and I looked carefully at the surroundings as I walked, and it seemed that something was not quite right, but I couldn't remember what was wrong.

Shirley Young said to me, "Have you seen that there are no rats here? ”

I nodded and said, "Exactly, I just felt that something was wrong, and when you said this, I found out that the gate here is ajar, and there is a stone bridge connected to it, and there are so many mice in the underground palace, why can't you see half of them here?" …… Not only are there no rats, but there are no rat droppings or rat hair on the ground. Could it be that the rats, by their animal instincts, sensed that this was a forbidden place full of dangers? ”

Shirley Yang didn't answer, walked down a few more steps, and suddenly turned back to me and said, "Can you tell the truth, have you ever robbed tombs?" ”

I never expected her to have this question, I was speechless for a while, I don't know how to answer, because these people who traveled with me this time are all engaged in archaeological work, although archaeology and tomb robbery are similar in a sense, but after all, there is a fundamental difference, it can be said that water and fire are incompatible, I am extremely confidential about this matter, how did she know?

Shirley Yang saw that I didn't speak, so he said: "I just guessed, and suddenly I thought of it and asked you, I think you know so many long-lost feng shui secret techniques, and you are no stranger to all kinds of ancient tombs, it seems that you know more than your own backyard, but it really looks like you are doing tomb robbery." ”

I scolded in my heart: "Stinky woman, it turned out to be a random guess, and it almost scared me out of heart disease." ”

On the surface, I pretended to be calm and said to Shirley Yang: "This is my family heirloom, my grandfather was a famous feng shui master in ten miles and eight towns before liberation, and he specialized in giving people guidance in the yin house. My dad has been a soldier all his life, and he didn't learn this set of things, and I just have a hobby. Don't you know that I'm a person, I just like to study, Comrade Lei Feng's nail spirit, in the final analysis, is a study ......" Later, I diverted the topic and avoided talking to her about things like feng shui tomb robbing.

We walked for a long time, and finally came to the end of the ramp, but there is no way here, the surrounding space is unusually large, except for the foot of the road, under the ramp is a platform, on the platform stands hundreds of giant pupil stone statues, the edge of the platform is a steep mountain wall, looking up, you can't see the top of your head, it's all pitch black.

There is a huge underground cavity in front of it, I can't see how big it is, and the concentrating light that can shine 20 meters can't reach the end at all. However, if you look closely around this platform, it does not look like the underground cave depicted in the mural of the heavenly brick road.

Shirley Young said: "It is possible that the Queen's coffin is still underneath, and after she is buried, the Elite will destroy the passage connecting here, so that no one can disturb the Queen's peace." ”

I smiled and said, "That's right, let's go back ...... now" Before I finished speaking, I saw Shirley Yang take out three cold fireworks and throw them off the platform respectively, she wanted to see how deep it was underneath.

The two of us went to the edge of the platform and looked down, only to see the cold fireworks falling not far below, it turned out that the difference between the platform was not large, only about 30 meters.

By the light of the fireworks, I saw a large flat land below, and there were all kinds of gold and silver utensils, pearls and gems, and diamond chalcedony piled up on the ground, and I exclaimed: "Damn, it turns out that all these good things are here, and it seems that the coffin of the Queen of Glory and Essence must be down there." There is just no way down. ”

At this time, Shirley Young found a rope ladder at one end of the platform, which hung from a large rock protruding from the platform and hung down from the side of the platform, with old-fashioned safety locks fastened at both ends.

Shirley Yang said: "This may have been left by explorers who have come before, although the rope ladder is strong, after all, it is too old, let's go back to the stone bridge first to get the rope ladder we brought ourselves." ”

I said, "Of course it's easy to do this, but have you ever wondered why the explorers who came here before didn't take them with them, those foreigners are not good things, if you say it sounds good, you are explorers, and if it doesn't sound good, you are thieves who come to China to steal things. ”

Shirley Yang said: "I understand what you mean, you mean that they will never enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed, the reason why these treasures are left here untouched is because there are traps such as traps such as traps and beasts below. ”

I said, "Yes, that's what it means, there is no such thing as pie in the sky, and the simpler it seems, the more complicated it is to do." Do you remember what Anliman said about an ancient curse in the Black Desert? Whoever takes the treasures of the Black Desert will be buried in the Black Desert forever with them. ”

Shirley Yang said: "This legend is also recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", and the city buried in the black desert is called Luo Luojialai. I don't think this curse is a problem, Professor Chen, they are all archaeologists, they won't touch these things casually, what I'm most worried about is your fat partner, you have to take a good look at him. ”

I said angrily, "What do you say, you look like thieves with the two of us?" I tell you that we are not short of ambitions, and I can vouch for it with my head, as long as I say that the things here can't be moved, my buddy will never take them. You better take care of yourself first, think about how many good things the Eight-Nation Coalition came to China to kill people and set fires in the year of Gengzi. You are the United States in these eight countries, right? Who do you have to think we are thieves? ”

Shirley Yang's face turned white with anger: "So you think I look like a thief?" ”

As soon as I thought that she had saved me no matter what she said, what I had just said was indeed a bit excessive, so I had to endure my temperament and make amends, and the two of them went back the way they came, this time neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere was dull and frightening.

Professor Chen and the others had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when they saw that we had finally returned, they hurriedly asked for details. I fetched a jug of water in the dark river, and as I drank it, I described what was going on, and Shirley Young added a part.

Professor Chen and his students heard that there was indeed a cave below, and the fat man was overjoyed when he heard that there were a large number of burial goods below.

I walked at the end, when I went in, I touched the jack gate, if the damn falls, no one can get out, but there are so many explosives, don't worry, think of this, I feel a lot of relief, bowed my head, and walked into the tomb.

Everyone was busy preparing rope ladders on the platform, I estimated that at this time, it was useless for me to persuade them, so I had to tell the fat man not to take down the things on the side, I don't believe what bullshit curses, but I can't let Shirley Yang grab the handle, we have to win glory for the countrymen.

The fat man said: "Lao Hu, don't worry, we are also a man, we can't fall here, no matter what it is this time, I won't take a mouse hair." He thought about it and added: "If you want to take it, you will take it when you come back." ”

After the rope ladder was placed, I was still the first to go down as a spearhead. I saw that there were no rats in the vicinity, and at first I thought that there might be one kind of black snake down there, so the rats didn't dare to come down. But when I went down, I found that there was a deathly silence here, not to mention rats and snakes, not even a small insect and ant. There are a lot of bronze lampstands nailed on the nearby rock wall, all made into the shape of lamp slaves, kneeling down and holding treasure lamps in their hands, the lamp oil in the lamps has long been burned dry, these copper lamps are one by one, there are no counts of how many, just take out a lamp to the market, with this process, this era, this source, this history, absolutely worth a lot of money.

Standing on top of a large pile of treasures, my heart is shaking, I have to hold back stubbornly, I really can't do it without concentration, the only way is not to look at those good things, and try to distract myself as much as possible. I blew the whistle, and the people waiting for the signal climbed down the rope ladder one after another.

Everyone who came down was stunned by this mountain of treasures, so many rare treasures were scavenged from the countries of the Western Regions back then, even Professor Chen couldn't name them one by one, but one thing was certain, which one was very valuable.

The fat man's eyes were straight, and he had forgotten the promise he had given me on the platform, and reached out to grab the nearest jade wine jug.

I quickly grabbed the fat man and whispered to him, "Why do you talk like a fucking fart, didn't you say that you won't move the things here?" ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses: "It's really weird, just now my hand didn't listen to the call, I said in my heart don't move, don't move, but I can't control my hand." ”

I said, "Don't make excuses, I think you're just subjectively looking for money, don't stand here, hurry forward." After saying that, I turned my head to look at Shirley Yang, who was busy supporting the professor who was climbing down the rope ladder with Chu Jian, and didn't notice the fat man's movements.

I asked Chu Jian: "Why did you kid come down too, didn't you let you take care of Ye Yixin on the platform?" ”

Chu Jian said: "Big brother, I want to see the ancient tomb below, just take a look and I'll go back." ”

Not only him, but everyone present counted one, and they all couldn't wait to see the coffin of the Absolute Queen, the legend is so godly, although it may be dangerous, but when it comes to this, no one can suppress their curiosity, especially these people who specialize in archaeology.

Professor Chen had just climbed down the rope ladder, exhausted and out of breath, and said to me, "Let them see, this is a rare learning opportunity, and it is good to have a long insight." No matter how powerful the queen was, now that she has been dead for two thousand years, and the country she ruled was conquered by the slaves after her death, there should be no danger, we just need to keep in mind the principles of archaeologists, and don't damage anything here. ”

I thought about it, anyway, the queen is dead, even if she has any magic spells, she can't use them. In the past, those who encountered danger in this ancient tomb were probably fascinated by these treasures, so they could never get out, it seems that these burial goods are the biggest trap, only try not to see, in order to restrain their greed.

There are so many legends in the life of the exquisite queen, the power is inclined to the Western Regions, and in the end it is inevitable that she will die, which shows that the world is like a new chess game, and the rise and fall are determined by heaven, no matter how much she has the ability, it is difficult to escape the laws of nature.

At this time, Ye Yixin also came down the rope ladder with the assistance of Sadi Peng, and everyone groped their way forward, surrounded by dark mountain rocks, looking like this, could it be that they had reached the belly of Zagrama Mountain?

The space in this large cave is too large to see the surrounding terrain, and in this case, the powerful lighting equipment that we have been reluctant to use can come in handy.

This is a portable searchlight with a total weight of eight kilograms, using ultra-high pressure spherical xenon lamp, pure platinum-nickel reflector, and the irradiation range can reach 2.5 kilometers in a space without dielectric interference. This thing consumes a lot of electricity and can't be used for a long time, so we haven't been willing to use it.

I assembled the searchlight, the fat man removed the belt battery and put it into the battery compartment behind the lamp, and the deep myopic Sa Dipeng looked at the lamp port curiously, and Shirley Yang pulled him away: "Be careful, this light line is too strong, it can guide the human eye within a hundred meters, don't look in front." ”

I installed a strong searchlight in two clicks, asked everyone to stand behind the searchlight, turned on the switch, and a solidified pillar of light shone out, sweeping around, and I could see the surrounding situation clearly.

This is indeed the bottom of Zagrama Mountain, with black rocks on top of the head and all around, and a cliff full of funerary jewels, on which there are countless tall statues of giant pupils, and under the cliff is a large circular cave.

Exactly like the frescoes painted in the passage of the temple, the diameter is about a kilometer, and it is by no means artificially dug by artificially, and a spiral downward staircase is built around this unfathomable cavern.

Illuminated by a strong searchlight, the steps turned several times on the cave wall, and then stopped, it seems that the artificial has reached the limit, and the deepest can only go there, and then use the searchlight to shine down, and the bottom is not visible. There was a huge and dark sense of oppression under the cave, and if you looked any further, you might be confused, and you would jump off involuntarily.

Shirley Yang said: "This must be the holy land of the Exquisite Country, and the name of the Ghost Cave Clan may come from this." Ghost Cave ...... Ghost Cave ...... Where is the connection? ”

When I saw such a big cave, I also felt a chill in my heart: "The ghost cave may be connected to hell, damn it, it's really dizzying to watch." ”

Professor Chen said: "Hey, Brother Hu, you are also a soldier, why do you still believe in ghosts and gods? I think this big hole must be the creation of nature, as the so-called magic axe, the ancients must have regarded it as a miracle two thousand years ago. ”

The fat man shone a searchlight at a place, and shouted for us to take a quick look, only to see the searchlight pillar stopped in the middle of the mouth of the earth cave, where there was a stone beam hanging in the air, the stone beam was thin and long, protruding from the cliff, just extending to the position above the hole.

The most important thing is that at the end of the stone beam, there is a huge piece of wood, which is more than two meters in diameter, like the body of a big tree, which has been directly cut off without any processing, and the branches and forks on the trunk are still there, and there are even a lot of green leaves.

A dozen large iron chains were tied to the trunk of the log tree, which connected the stone beams and held the giant log to the ground. What is even more peculiar is that there is a huge green flower growing on this piece of wood, the size of a large bucket, the mouth is small and the belly is thick, the petals are rolled together, the whole body is green, and there is a large blood-red leaf on each side, which has taken root on the wood, and its branches and large iron chains tightly wrap around the wood.

I was taken aback: "This wood...... It's the Kunlun Sacred Tree! I once heard my grandfather say that the material of the coffin, the best is the heart of the gloomy wood, and there is a kind of superb divine wood, which few people have ever seen, that is, the Kunlun sacred wood that is only recorded in ancient books. Legend has it that even if there is only one section of the Kunlun Sacred Tree, it will not dry up without the soil, water source and sunlight, although it no longer grows, it will always maintain its original appearance, and if the body is stored in the Kunlun Sacred Tree, it can be immortal for ten thousand years. Could it be that the corpse of the Exquisite Queen is in this Kunlun Divine Tree? ”

Shirley Yang's voice also trembled a little: "That's not wrong, this is the coffin made of the Kunlun Divine Tree." Ancient books say that this tree is as old as Kunlun Mountain, when Qin Shi Huang wanted to find the Kunlun Divine Tree to make a coffin, I can't imagine that this exquisite queen is so good, I am afraid that there is no one in history more valuable than her coffin. ”

The crowd couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, so they wanted to go over to watch carefully, Professor Chen wanted to stop everyone, he seemed to have something important to say, but in a hurry, he stepped on a piece of gravel on the sole of his foot and sprained his foot and neck.

We had to go back and help the professor up, but he was so bad that he could no longer walk, so he could only sit on the ground and talk: "Don't you destroy those things lightly, don't you see the strange flower on the coffin?" ”

The fat man said, "Old man Chen, did you say that is a flower?" It looked so weird, I thought it was an oversized taro. How can plants grow on this coffin? Could it be that if you bury the queen as a seed in the sacred tree, she will sprout and bloom? ”

Professor Chen rubbed his injured ankle and said, "Do you know what the scientific name of this flower is?" It is called corpse incense konjac, it is a very precious plant, I am afraid that there is only this one left in the world, and this plant is very dangerous. ”

"Corpse incense konjac?!" When we heard this, our hearts were shocked, including Shirley Yang, it was the first time we had heard of this kind of strange flowers, and this name was not bad, so we asked Professor Chen to explain the details.

Professor Chen said: "When I studied the ancient Western Regions civilization, I once saw in some remnants of ancient murals and historical materials that the corpse incense konjac originally grew in the Houyue country, and once flowed into Middle-earth through the Silk Road, but it became extinct because of the unsuitable water and soil environment. This corpse-scented konjac can be grown in ancient tombs, and it is said that it can keep the corpse from rotting and rotting, and it can also make the corpse exude fragrance, which is extremely precious. The ancient Western Regions civilization has a strong mystical color, the religion is complicated, and the myths and legends are mixed with historical facts, which is very difficult to distinguish. ”

Shirley Yang looked at the strange flowers on the stone beams in the distance, and asked the professor, "If it is such a magical flower, why do you say that it is dangerous?" ”

Professor Chen said: "What I just said is only part of its characteristics, and legend has it that the corpse incense konjac has evil spirits attached to it, and once it grows up, the living can no longer approach it. It is rare to have a coffin made of Kunlun sacred wood, and the ancient demon flower corpse incense konjac can grow here. ”

I have experienced a lot of strange things in my life, but I have never encountered such a magical and strange coffin and evil ghost flower, so I said to Professor Chen: "This is strange, in the belly of this Zagrama Mountain, there is no photosynthesis, and plants can grow, these mysterious things are really very consistent with the identity of the queen, they are all monsters that do not conform to the laws of nature." ”
