There are four statues around this giant ding, evenly distributed around, these statues are more than one person high, I don't know what kind of jade carving it is. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although there is nothing peculiar about the appearance, this is clearly the image of the four divine beasts.

It's not that they amaze me because they are the four divine beasts, but the appearance of these four statues has been seen before, in the center of the Bagua Array at the eye of the underground Star Palace Array, those four golden divine beasts are like this.

And the four divine beasts here are completely miniature versions of the golden four divine beasts, but the materials are different, I don't know what the purpose of placing the statues of the four divine beasts here.

The giant tripod in the middle is more than twice as tall as the statue, and it looks like a three-legged round tripod on the outside, but on closer inspection, this thing is slightly different from ordinary tripods.

It is divided into two parts, the upper and lower ones are small and the bottom is gourd-shaped, and it is made of three lifelike flying dragons as three legs.

Li Dong pounced at once, reached out and touched a circular Tai Chi symbol on Ding's body, and pulled it outward slightly, it turned out to be a small round door. Li Dong shone a flashlight into the small door, and then whispered: "This is the Bagua Dan Furnace." ”

I came to the front, looked into the small door, only to feel a hot air rushing to my face, the lower half of the Dan furnace, there is a partition inside, and the space inside is divided into two parts.

There are some black charcoal-like objects on the top part, and it is not difficult to guess that this is what supplies energy to the Dan furnace, but I don't know what kind of fuel.

The lower part is supposed to be used to collect the ashes, and there are long strips of gaps in the middle of the partition where the burned fuel ash can leak down. These line-like gaps are very regular, and if you look closely, this is clearly a gossip map.

No wonder Li Dong took a look at it and concluded that this was a gossip furnace. The fuel in the furnace has long been burned out, and there is still residual temperature at this time. There was an escalator on one side of the Dan furnace, Li Dong went up the escalator to take a look, shook his head to indicate that there was nothing inside, and then walked down stupidly.

The lid of the Dan furnace was thrown aside, and it could be seen that the black-robed man should have left here in a hurry, only taking away the pill in the furnace, and not even caring about the lid of the furnace.

Ansari squatted on the ground, looked down at the bottom of the furnace, and then reached under the furnace with his short sword, pulling out a ball the size of a fingernail.

We all leaned over curiously, and Ansari held the small ball in the palm of her hand, and under the strong light, the ball glowed reddish-brown with some black-blue lines on it.

Ansari took the ball under his nose and sniffed it, and said, "This is a pill, it should be left here by the black-robed man." ”

Li Dong and I also took it and sniffed it, and sure enough, this pill had a strong medicinal fragrance, which was the same as the smell emanating from the Dan furnace. It's just that I don't know what kind of elixir this is, and no one knows what the consequences will be if I eat it.

Thinking of the big bowl of black juice, I felt that this pill was disgusting, so I quickly asked Ansari to put it away first, and then I went back and took it to Lu Haikong to study.

Following the blood stains left by the zombies, we found a stone room, after opening the sliding door, we were smoked by the smell of the fishy inside, and immediately retreated a few steps, this should be the place where the zombies are held, on the four corners of the stone room, there is a huge metal ring, it seems that the iron chains on the zombies are fixed on these rings.

There was a vent at the top of the stone chamber, and the interior was empty except for a few stains on the ground.

We searched the alchemy room again, and in addition to some fuel, we also found a dark room, but we found nothing inside, only a few rows of empty wooden shelves.

Li Dong picked up something from under a wooden frame, a bit like the whiskers on the real roots, Li Dong broke off a piece, put it in the innermost part and chewed it, and finally determined that this was a piece of old ginseng whiskers, and it seemed that this should be the storage room where alchemy materials were placed.

Coming out of the storage room, we walked directly to the other side of the alchemy room, the style of this underground building is a little simple, all the stone slabs are flat and smooth, there is no carved mural on it, I don't know what era it was built, the other side of the alchemy room is the main entrance, but it is still a sliding door that slides to the side.

Open the door outside is a passage, although the passage is also very simple, but it is much wider than the ventilation duct overhead, the passage is directly across the door, it doesn't seem to be too long, all of them become curves at dozens of meters, I don't know where it leads.

The most headache is this kind of multiple-choice question, which direction to go, everyone has no good idea, and there is no trace in the passage for reference.

At this moment, Li Dong made a silent movement, and then put on a posture of listening, and I also learned from him to close his eyes and listen carefully.

Faintly, from the direction of the left passage, there seemed to be a sound of rushing water, Li Dong suddenly said: "Let's go to the left, I remember that the stone chambers with zombies are near the flowing water, maybe you can find some clues." ”

Everyone agreed, and when we walked up the left aisle and turned a corner, we smelled a fishy smell in the air, which was not very obvious, but we could still tell that it was the smell of those zombies.

Turning another corner, the smell in front of me became more and more obvious, and there was a clear sound of running water in my ears, and there was a stone door at the end of the hearing, but it was now half-hidden, leaving a gap for one person to pass.

We carefully pushed open the stone door, and immediately saw a different space, although the front is still a passage, but it is a natural cave passage, the first thing that attracts us is an underground dark river, which occupies almost most of the space, and the dark river is parallel to the passage.

It flows slowly against the side of the passage, and ours is the part of the riverbank, which is a distance of several meters wide from the wall of the cave on this side for people to walk, and this riverbank passage has been winding and stretching forward, seemingly gradually descending, and I don't know where it leads.

On our side, the wall of the cave had been clearly trimmed, and every few meters away there was a stone door, and on the stone door there was a small window with a railing, which looked like the door of a cell.

We walked over and leaned down at the window and looked in, and in the cramped stone room, there was indeed a zombie imprisoned, whose limbs were tightly chained, and the other end of the chain was tied to the wall.

The zombie was originally dormant, probably smelling the scent of a living person, and immediately woke up, constantly struggling to rush over, but could not break free from the chains. I could only widen my eyes, grin at us, and roar "ho-ho" in my mouth.

This stone chamber is very small, you don't have to go in to see it at a glance, now we are not interested in zombies, there is no need to go in and check, I want to know, where the river leads.

Li Dong said that according to historical records, the diversion of the Zhubin River led to the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and the land of the four reservoirs near this became the land of the four cemeteries for some reason, which is the real reason for the diversion of the Zhubin River.

Looking at the dark river that flowed so much here, I finally knew why the river above it had dried up. In this way, as long as you follow the dark river, you should find the mysterious underground complex. It's just that I don't know if the underground building analyzed by Li Dong is the mysterious ancient city where the Pisces jade pendant was discovered.

There are about dozens of stone chambers on the cave walls, and almost every stone chamber is detained by a zombie, and there are also a few stone chambers that are empty, and I don't know where the zombies inside have gone.

We walked through these stone chambers, the front gradually widened, and on the right side of the cave wall, there were also several holes several meters wide, and the dark river branched out and flowed into those caves with a roar.

The size and shape of these holes are almost the same, which makes people feel that they must have been dug by hand, and I always feel a kind of uneasiness when I stand by the river and look at the holes opposite.

I said to Li Dong and them, "If there is danger in those caves, what do you think it will be?" ”

Li Dong said: "I can't calculate here, but I guess the biggest possibility of the danger you mentioned is from the water." ”

Ansari drew his short sword at this time and made a defensive posture, and he also felt something strange: "The aura here is not quite right, let's get out of here quickly." ”

Suddenly, the water inside the caves was churning, and something seemed to be swimming underneath.
