Chapter 40 Palace

I didn't speak for a long time after listening to the old python's story, and after a long time, I said: "Didn't you say that you suspect that Bao Ye has hit the evil, so why do you say that he is an undercover agent of the organization." After that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Hefang, and found that his face was surprisingly ugly, and he seemed to be very ashamed, and said, "I believe that Boss Zhang's eyesight will not be wrong." ”

The old python pursed his lips and said: "In this world, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they see what people are allowed or not." We've done exorcism rituals for him before, but it's useless at all, so what else can you say, it's nothing more than that he's pretending to be crazy and stupid. ”

I thought about Bao Ye's personality for a while, and said, "Maybe it's something very powerful attached to Bao Ye's body." "I remembered what happened in Shennongjia before, and I remember that Gao Peng and Ryazan had ghosts possessed by their bodies at that time, but they did not only walk on their toes.

When the old python heard what I said, he sneered twice and said: "I think you don't want to exonerate him, Bao Ye's various evil deeds are also well known in Nanwu, and many people are reluctant to hire him, because he is always the master who eats inside and outside, boss, when you said that you wanted to invite him, everyone was very opposed to it, right?" It's not that we don't support you, it's that Bao Ye is not a reliable person at all. Mr. Fan, you said that the boss looks at people accurately, do you know that this operation does not depend on anyone at all, but only on whether you have the ability. ”

I listened to the words of the old python, it seems that this treasure master used to have bad deeds in Nanwu, so I looked at Zhang Hefang. Zhang Hefang shook his head heavily, and said helplessly like a gambler pressing the wrong magic code: "Since things have come to this point, it is useless to say more, Ah Liao and Professor Li Zhongkai are dead, and saying these can't make them resurrect." ”

I asked the old python, "Where is the treasure master now, do you know the way?" ”

The old python looked at the old man, so the old man said: "We haven't seen him since we got rid of him in the secret passage, but occasionally when we walk through the grotto, we can still faintly hear the sound of the clay figurines breaking, and we estimate that Bao Ye should still be smashing those statues." ”

After speaking, the old man looked at the old python worriedly and said: "To be honest, I don't think Bao Ye is an undercover agent of the organization, I think he is really crazy, it must be that we bumped into something terrifying before." ”

"Gotta get it!" The old python said a little unhappily next to him: "It's okay for me to be psychologically dark, your treasure is right, he is a good person, but the big stone door in his head is crowded, so he is crazy." ”

We continued to walk forward without stopping. The old python just told me that the scale and structure of the priest's burial pit here are far beyond our imagination, and I am afraid that even if a snowy peak here has been hollowed out. Actually, I don't need to say more, when we were adrift on the planks of the Dark River, I already realized that the water here is stagnant water, and the reason why it flows must be because some mechanism is powering.

After about thirty minutes of walking, the stalactite pillars above our heads began to decrease little by little, and in front of us, an arched entrance appeared. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and said that this was probably the center of the burial pit, so they hurriedly quickened their pace and walked forward.

Although we were mentally prepared before entering the center of this priest's burial pit, and estimated that there should be an underground palace built in it, and it should be magnificent, we were still shocked when we really saw what we saw. A few of us grew up to say something, but found that we couldn't say anything at all, and this spectacular complex gave people an aggressive air that people didn't even have the courage to judge it.

In my opinion, this can't be called an underground palace at all, it can be called an underground city. As far as the eye can see, this underground complex is somewhat similar to the layout of the Forbidden City.

The first thing that appeared in front of us was an incomparably wide square, with flat and hard bluestone slabs under our feet, and through the square, there was a huge stone staircase with a width of more than ten meters and a length of more than two hundred meters. At the beginning of the entrance, there are a number of small buildings on both sides, which seem to be ashrams, and each of them has a stone tablet in front of the door, on which are some strange words carved on it. Needless to say, there must be those priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom in these houses.

We looked forward and found that the further we went, the larger and more magnificent the houses on both sides became, and when we reached the stone steps, the houses on both sides of the stone steps were built one by one to resemble palaces and temples.

At the top of the stone steps, there is a tree, a bronze tree. Professor Li Zhongkai once told me that among many archaeological discoveries, bronze trees, which are similar to sacrificial items, have only been found in the Sanxingdui civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom. We went to the Sanxingdui Museum, where there was an unearthed bronze tree, and there were many bronze bells on the bronze tree, but these bronze bells did not ring. For a long time, the archaeological community has listed those exquisite bronze trees as exquisite sacrificial objects, but no one can say what those bronze trees are used for.

I remembered that Zhang Hefang had taken me to the Drunken Stone Hall to see that Boss Lu Lin before, he also had a small bronze tree, almost miniature, at that time, put the spirit demon jade under the bronze tree and the bell would ring, Boss Lu said that the bell of the bronze tree could detect the movement of evil spirits.

However, the bronze tree in front of us was obviously much, much larger, and it was almost as tall as a normal tree. We looked through the binoculars and saw that the trunk of the tree should be at least as thick as two adults encircling it, and the height of the tree should be more than five meters, and the canopy should be very dense, of course, all carved out of bronze.

To our surprise, however, in front of the bronze tree, sat cross-legged a man with his back to us, dressed in burlap, and it was too far away to see whether he was alive or dead.

Zhang Hefang glanced at a few of us and said, "Let's go, let's go." ”

Everyone nodded in silence, and we walked through this huge underground palace with an indescribable feeling. It should be said that this is a feeling of awe, and we should be ashamed of the miraculous work of the ancients.

As I walked, I looked around at the shrine and said, "Theoretically, the more priests who live on it, the higher the status of the corpse. ”

Binzi said: "If nothing else, it should be like this." ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "So if that is the case, the giant priest we just saw outside is nothing at all?" Every priest here has a higher status than the giant? ”

Zhang Hefang said: "Probably not, the giant priest can still lead so many zombie priests after his death, which means that his status should be very high, and I have always felt that the black and purple sarcophagus is very suspicious in some places." ”

Everyone was stunned, looked at Zhang Hefang in confusion, and said suspiciously? Why didn't you say something suspicious earlier.

Zhang Hefang continued: "When I say suspicious, I mean the location of the sarcophagus. ”

Bin Zi is an expert, Zhang Hefang reminded him that he understood, and immediately said: "It turns out that this is the meaning, so it seems that it is indeed a bit strange." ”

I was a little anxious and asked, "Hey, what's going on, you guys say it's okay?" Don't bully me as a layman. ”

Zhang Hefang said, "Mr. Fan, don't you think the location of that sarcophagus is very abrupt. It was a platform for diverting the underground river, and the bodies of the priests in the river were of the lowest grade, and they didn't even have coffins. However, the huge black-purple sarcophagus, both in terms of material and the priest inside, had a very high status, and it was somewhat inexplicable that his coffin appeared there so abruptly. Taking a step back, even if the sarcophagus of the giant priest was placed there to protect the underground fortifications, there should have been at least a coffin. ”

Speaking of which, I already understood what Zhang Hefang wanted to express, and said: "You mean, the sarcophagus was moved there by someone else!" ”

PS. Recently, I have been promoting in other places, and I always say that the witch trail plagiarized the tomb robbery notes, I really don't understand where the tomb robbery statue is, the essence of the witch trail is exploration rather than tomb robbery.

This time, as soon as the bronze tree came out, it is estimated that everyone must be suspicious again. So I will popularize it for you: the bronze god tree first appeared in 1986 in Sanxingdui archaeological activities (and only appeared in Sanxingdui), eight trees have been unearthed, is the first batch of unearthed cultural relics that are prohibited from going out for exhibition in China, roughly the time is cast by the ancient Shu people in the late Shang Dynasty, should be used for sacrifices, unique to Sanxingdui, and there is no archaeological discovery to corroborate the Qinling bronze tree said in the tomb.
