Chapter 309: The Mystery of Gold

Lao Pan glanced up, with a complicated expression in his eyes: "I think as long as they are not stupid, they should have gone back, after all, we haven't heard from us for so long, of course there is another possibility"
He said and looked at the inky black river around him, but did not speak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
We are all silent, in this place where everything is unknown, life is like a firefly in the dark night, which can be extinguished at any moment. Zhang Ye reached out and patted me, but he didn't say anything.
The boat was in the underground river, moving silently, except for the sound of rushing water, there was a dead silence all around, and even the light could not be reflected back here, and the flashlight could only shine a few dozen meters.
After turning a corner, the stone walls on both sides of the front gradually became narrow, and when passing through another bend, Zhang Ye poked out the oars and bracled the stone wall, and the boat turned its bow and continued to float forward.
In front of the waterway, the stone wall began to appear on the lantern, this is the last time we came to the welcome waterway, our boat drifted in the waterway for a while, and in front of us appeared land, and a faint city.
There was also a small golden boat parked on the shore, which was supposed to be the one we rowed over last time.
After getting off the boat, Zhang Ye picked up the golden helmet and filled it with black water from the underground river. After walking another hundred and ten meters along the ever-bright lanterns on both sides of the road, we came to the Golden City again. Lao Pan asked everyone to be vigilant and beware of people who encounter green snakes again.
Walking to the side of the city gate, Zhang Ye poured black water into the trough, and after a while, he heard a sound of zhazza.
Then, the golden gate slowly opened.
I was still shocked to see the ruined dead city again. After entering the door, Da Kui pointed to the corner behind the door and said, "This is where I threw the Glory Bullet last time." ”
Everyone felt a little bit again, and after several births and deaths, everything seemed to be back to square one.
A tall shadow appeared in the distance ahead, because I had been here once, no need to guess, this must be the stone tablet, the stone tablet that recorded the history of the city of the dead, and I recalled the story that Lu Haikong told us at that time.
What is recorded here is all the secrets of this dungeon, but it seems that only half, according to this stone tablet, this was once a very prosperous city of the Xiongnu, of course, the so-called prosperity at that time, it can not be compared with the Han Dynasty at all, but the Huns live and work here in peace and contentment, but then one day, a group of demons fell from the sky and killed here
Those demons descended from the sky and trampled on their homes and lands, killed their people and relatives, plundered their cattle and sheep and grain, and burned their houses and tents.
It was a terrible group of demons, who had completely destroyed the city, and after they were gone, the survivors of the city found the high priest, and the flames of anger were blazing, and they used their lives to leave the most vicious curse on those demons, and cursed them with the most cruel punishment, cursed them with the exhaustion of their lives, cursed their flesh to rot, cursed their children to be cut off, cursed them to never turn over.
This terrible curse took the lives of ninety-nine living people to complete, but the moment the curse took effect, the wind and clouds changed color, the sky collapsed, the earth broke, and the entire city was forced into the ground dozens of meters underground.
Such a city disappeared from the world, and all the people in it died, and it was a full year before someone discovered what had happened in the city, and knew the whole thing from the tablet of the high priest of the city.
Thus, there was this underground cemetery, but when the cemetery was built, a very special underground river was discovered, which did not contain any life and had the power to corrupt everything.
So they called the river the River of the Damned.
At the end of the stele, those who come to this cemetery are told to be careful not to touch the river of damnation.
Lao Pan recounted the events recorded on the stele for us again, which was basically the same as what Lu Haikong said. When we heard Lu Haikong tell this story at the time, we didn't think anything about it, but when Lao Pan told it again, we found a familiar keyword, that is, curse.
There's a cursed river here, and we've encountered the Cursed Lands before, so the question of how the two are related can only be put aside for the time being, because there is still a problem at hand.
Lao Pan analyzed: "According to the stone tablet, this should be the city of the Huns, and the Tianshu Palace we are looking for is an ancient ruin, and the age is earlier, so it cannot be the Tianshu Palace here." However, we have been looking for this side from Tianxuan Palace, which means that the direction is correct, and there should be another entrance here. ”
Although the content of the stele is only half of it, according to various signs, it can already be determined that the demon mentioned on the stele is Huo Qubing and his Han cavalry.
According to historical records, Huo Qubing was flexible in his use of soldiers, paid attention to strategy, did not stick to ancient methods, was brave and decisive, and was good at long-distance attacks, blitzkriegs and large detours, and large interspersed operations, and won every battle.
This involved the problem of army supply, and the strategy he formulated at that time was to feed the war with war, while looking for the enemy army, as long as he encountered the Xiongnu herdsmen, immediately loot and replenish food on the spot. This brings us to another problem, that is, the principle of secrecy, in order not to leak the whereabouts of their own troops, these plundered herdsmen must be exterminated.
In this way, after several times, there were rumors in all the tribes of the Huns that there was no grass left where Huo Qu's illness passed, and he was killed completely, and the name of the demon spread far and wide.
Since then, Huo Qubing has continued to change his tactics, he once fought for more than 1,000 miles in six days, broke through the five kingdoms of the Xiongnu, and defeated the small kings of Hexi one after another. These tribes were originally the "peripheral organizations" and "coercion elements" of the Xiongnu, but Huo Qubing forced them to surrender and promised not to rob their property and people after returning to obedience, thus further dividing the Xiongnu's internal strategy of unification with the outside world.
Huo Quai, who was less than nineteen years old, had become a lingering nightmare in the hearts of all Huns at this time. The Xiongnu, who once did whatever they wanted at the head of the Han Dynasty and caused countless people to die in the Han Dynasty, finally sang a lamentation: "Death of my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; I have lost my mountains, and my women have no color. ”
According to the geographical location of the dungeon, we can judge that the war recorded here should be the "Mobei War" of unprecedented scale. In this battle, almost all the troops of the Xiongnu and the left and right kings were wiped out. Huo Qubing chased and killed all the way to the area of Kent Mountain in present-day Mongolia. It was here that Huo Qubing temporarily paused and led the army to carry out the ceremony of sacrificing heaven and earth, the ceremony of sacrificing heaven and earth was held in Wolf Juxu Mountain, and the sacrificial ground Zen ceremony was held in Guyan Mountain, in order to show that the place was the territory of the Han family, which carried forward the martial power of the Han Dynasty to the extreme, and also crushed the enemy psychologically.
After sealing the wolf Juxu, Huo Qubing continued to lead the army to pursue the Xiongnu in depth, and fought until the Hanhai Lake Baikal in present-day Russia, before returning to the army.
Since then, "the Huns have fled far away, and there is no royal court in Monan". Huo Qubing and his "Sealing Wolf Juxu" have since become the highest pursuit of the life of the soldiers of all dynasties of the country and the dream of lifelong struggle. And this year, Huo Quzhi was only twenty-one years old.
Huo Qubing has been fighting against the Huns all his life, and only one sentence: "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home", it can be seen how bold and decisive this is.
Two years later, Huo Qu, a 23-year-old Hussar General of the Great Sima, fell ill and died of illness in the autumn of the sixth year of Yuanzhen.
The above is the true record in the history books.
Combined with what we have seen and heard, we can know that when Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu, he learned about the ancient secrets, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty depleted the gold reserves in order to plan this matter, resulting in the total loss of gold in the Western Han Dynasty of about one million catties.
But, in my opinion, there aren't many gold reserves in the dungeons, at least not much that we've seen. A gold puppet only has armor that is gold, which is at most fifty catties of weight, and a hundred of them are only five thousand catties, and if a million catties of gold are all made into gold puppets, the total number will be at least more than 10,000. And the total number of golden bulls and gold puppets we have seen is only a few hundred, which is too different from the nearly one million catties of gold lost.
Lao Pan made a judgment on this: "It can be seen that if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used all the millions of catties of gold in Wolf Juxu Mountain, then it would definitely be nearby." Let's start here and see if there are any passages or clues. ”
Because of the curse involved, I've always been afraid of this place, and what secrets are hidden in this graveyard-like dead city.
Also, since this city disappeared inexplicably after a curse, what happened to this golden gate, and those golden puppets, golden bulls, and dark iron ore, please visit ::feisuz for mobile phones
