The crowd was dumbfounded for a moment. The big head seemed to remember something, looked up motionless for a long time, and then a look of sudden realization, hurriedly took out the waterproof match from the body, "stabbed" a row, held high above the head, tiptoe up to reach, everyone is still unknown, silently pointed to the beating flame and said: "That's right, there is air flow on it, although it is not easy for people to feel it, the flame is biased to one side." ”

The lights converged on the top of the big head, and only the angular rocks could be seen, and the contrast with the surroundings was similar, and there was nothing wrong with it in a hurry, Gao Tong stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed the shoulders of the big head, "Carry me up and take a look." The big head hummed, half-squatted down, Gao Tong's foot stepped on the raised corner of the stone wall, and rode on the shoulder of the big head, and the two of them set up a human ladder.

"Bang la la" sounded, Gao Tong picked off a few pieces of gravel in his hand, I took a few steps back and looked up, a palm-sized hole has been exposed, as Gao Tong continued to throw down to pick up large and small gravel, the opening gradually increased, until a hole with a diameter of more than one meter was fully revealed.

Jumping off the shoulders of the big head, Gao Tong gasped for breath, and Professor Zhang said on the side: "The ancients in the Hongshan culture period had the habit of covering up some secret places. If the remains of the sacrifice can be found here, it must not be far from outside. ”

Gao Tong gasped for breath, looked up at the entrance of the cave, and said to everyone: "I'll climb up first, and then pull you up one by one, only this hidden hole can be drilled in front of me, so I have to grit my teeth and try." ”

Everyone nodded together, not everyone has the courage to take risks, but they all know that staying here or going back can only wait for death. Gao Tong no longer told too much nonsense, climbed into the cave with the big head, and then turned around and stretched out his hand in the hole with great difficulty.

It was easy to say, but it was very difficult to turn my body completely upside down in the narrow hole, and when the last big head to come up grabbed my hand and stepped on the uneven stone wall to climb up, I was completely out of strength, and I didn't even have the strength to move my buttocks, and I sat curled up for a long time before I crawled forward with difficulty behind the silence under the urging of the big head.

I didn't climb a few steps in a daze, I vaguely heard Gao Tong in front of me shouting in surprise, the five people in the cave in a row all stopped, my vision was blocked by the overlapping figures in front of me, I couldn't see anything, I only heard Gao Tong's voice sounding in front, "You can go down here, everyone pay attention to hold on." ”

I couldn't figure out what the terrain was in front of me, I hesitated and followed silently and rubbed forward for a meter or two, through the gap next to Silently, I saw Professor Zhang moving forward and grasping something, and then disappeared with his legs, I was not curious, until Silent also disappeared, I noticed that there was an exit in front, a thigh-thick bronze cylinder was reflective, standing up and down in front of the exit less than half a meter, it took a little effort to reach it, stretched out his head and looked down, more than one person from the ground, So he climbed the bronze pillar with both hands, and then clamped it with his legs, and the whole person climbed the pillar, like a climbing rod, a little loose, and slowly slid down the bronze pillar.

Down-to-earth, let go of his hand, and let go of his hand, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and people in an unfamiliar environment couldn't wait to figure out their situation, but they were secretly taken aback at first. This is a natural cave hall, half the size of a basketball court, with three people tall and low, densely surrounded by bronze pillars, each of which is twenty centimeters thick, and engraved with dazzling patterns. In the midst of his doubts, the big head slid down from above holding the bronze pillar, slipped so fast that he did not stand firm for a while, and smashed to the ground like a bombshell wolf.

Not in the mood to make fun of the big head, everyone looked around in surprise, and silently suddenly pointed to a copper pillar and shouted: "Come and see, this may be the kind of prehistoric cave wall inscription you are talking about." ”

In addition to me and the big head, I have also seen this kind of text in the illustrations in the book published by Qin Weiguo in the library, archaeology is her specialty, and the intuition of ancient characters is much better than me and Datou, I walked a few steps to the side of Momo, followed the direction of Momo's finger, frowned and looked at it for a long time, it felt like it was indeed the cave wall text I had seen several times, and Datou also said: "This ...... It's very similar, but unfortunately we can't understand it. ”

Professor Zhang's eyes were full of surprise and confusion, "This kind of writing...... Is it a kind of hieroglyphic writing that has never been seen before, much more evolutionary and abstract than the pottery inscription that appeared on the stone wall just now, this kind of writing is an earlier prehistory? ”

I suddenly remembered Qin Weiguo's experience of the ancient tomb in Vietnam, Professor Ma once had the hypothesis of the origin of modern Chinese characters, and muttered: "Tao Wen is just a kind of ideographic primitive carving, Dongbi Wen is much earlier than Tao Wen's writing, the maturity is very high, most of them have been lost and broken, and a small number of remains of Dongbi Wen and Tao Wen's original carving have become the originator of modern Chinese characters." ”

Professor Zhang stared at me blankly, probably this point of view was full of imagination and extreme shock for a historian, and I quickly explained: "This is not what I said, I am repeating the opinion of a paleographer back then." ”

Professor Zhang pondered for a long time and finally came to his senses, "If there is sufficient evidence for this speculation, it simply completely overturns the origin of Chinese civilization." Then he sighed and changed the subject, "Judging from the law of the appearance of that Hongshan Taowen, this may be a closed prehistoric sacrificial place. ”

Slowly getting used to the environment, everyone's hearts turned to feel relaxed, there are many bronze pillars in front of them, and the artificial traces are obvious, no matter what period it is, at least it must not be a Jedi, Gao Tong pointed to the cave that continued to extend forward, and beckoned everyone to take advantage of the body lì has not been overdrawn, and hurriedly look for the exit of the road.

Walking into a section of the cave that was almost as dark as the tunnel, the temperature suddenly dropped, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the mood that was slightly relaxed became inexplicably nervous, the surrounding air was foggy and black, and the penetration of the light seemed to be insufficient.

It was getting cold, I couldn't help but hug my arms, the inexplicable premonition of danger in my heart became stronger, the nervous tension was so messy that the footsteps were amplified and harsh, I took a few deep breaths, and I was distracting myself by looking around, and a cold laugh that sounded as if it was squeezed out of people's throats suddenly came from the front, swirling and colliding with the cave wall, swirling and shaking around the terrified crowd.
