"Teacher Chen"

As soon as Chen Jinting climbed a boulder, he heard someone shouting at him behind him.

Hearing the shout, Chen Jinting stood up straight and turned his head to look back, just as he saw Zhang Fei pointing in the direction of the other side and saying to him.

"Teacher Chen, I'll go over there and have a look."

Chen Jinting knew that this kid was uncomfortable with him and Lao Suo, so he agreed to Zhang Fei's request.

It's just that he still told seriously.

"Be sure to stay safe."

After Zhang Fei's pardon, there was no one in the blink of an eye.

It was already dark, and at this time it was completely impossible to see anything in the distance, and it was among the huge boulders stacked in the forest, Chen Jinting could only judge the general orientation of the other team members by the flashlight beams that were swaying around in the dark.

This stone pile covers a large area, just as Lao Suo said to Chen Jinting just now, it is indeed a bit strange that these large and small stone pestles stand here to block the entrance of the canyon.

"Lao Suo, what do you think these stones are deliberately piled up here for?" Chen Jinting climbed a half-human-high boulder, and while asking Lao Suo behind him, he shone a flashlight into the space formed by the stone stacking, and faintly, he could see that the space was very dry and clean.

"I can only make a bold guess." Lao Suo behind him replied hesitantly.

Hearing Lao Suo's answer, Chen Jinting glanced back at him, didn't say anything, waved his hand and signaled Lao Suo to say boldly.

"There are obvious traces of polishing on these stones, and it can be seen that these stones have been piled here for a long time, and the nomads on the grassland will definitely not run to this deep mountain to grind stones and play, so I think these stones must have little to do with the grassland tribes, and they should have nothing to do with the ancient humans who depicted the rock paintings we are looking for."

Hearing Lao Suo's analysis, Chen Jinting still didn't say anything, and still held a flashlight to shine around in the cracks of the stone pile.

Seeing that Chen Jinting didn't speak, Lao Suo continued.

"These stones are all hard granite, and polishing such a large piece of stone is quite time-consuming and laborious, not something that ordinary one or two people can do in a few days or months. Such a large amount of work, so much labor, that there is only "

Saying that, Lao Suo suddenly stopped, stared at Chen Jinting and stopped talking.

"Unless it's royalty, it's capable of completing this project."

Hearing that Lao Suo stopped talking, Chen Jinting suddenly turned around and continued.

"Yes! That's what I thought, but what is the royal family doing with so many big rocks in this place? Lao Suo still couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help frowning again.

And

And which royal family will do this great project here?

In fact, the royal family is this statement. At this time, it was just speculation between Chen Jinting and Lao Suo.

However, if you do archaeology, it is bold speculation and careful argumentation.

For a while, Chen Jinting and Lao Suo were silent, and both of them began to think about the purpose of these huge stones here.

These boulders are piled up outside the canyon, as if they are simply trying to seal the canyon back.

If that's the case, it's really whimsical.

Although the number of these rocks stacked together is large, it is really impossible to block the entire canyon with these stones.

At best, the entrance to the canyon was blocked, but it still couldn't prevent people from climbing over the boulders into the canyon.

Suddenly, Chen Jinting had a bold idea in his mind, and this sudden thought made him very excited. Even his body began to tremble slightly.

In fact, such a huge stone has been seen by the archaeological team before, and it is not often recorded in various archaeological materials.

It's just that the places where these boulders can be used will not appear in places like Inner Mongolia on the outer frontier at all.

In ancient times, there was only one place where such a large number of stones were used at one time, and that was in the tomb tunnel.

And especially in the imperial tombs, after closing the ancient cemetery palace, the entire tomb is piled up with huge stones, so as to achieve the purpose of anti-theft.

These boulders are piled up here, does it mean that there is an unknown emperor's mausoleum in the canyon?

The more Chen Jinting thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but tell Lao Suo about his conjecture.

Lao Suo was stunned when he heard this, but then he twisted his eyebrows and said.

"No, Team Chen, this boulder blocks the tomb road, but the emperor's mausoleum can enjoy the treatment, but I haven't heard of any emperor who was buried in this place after his death, there is no such thing as an emperor who dies and will go all the way to this deep mountain for burial." Moreover, the imperial tombs of the Yuan, Liao, and Qing dynasties are clearly recorded, and they are not in this place. How could there be an extra imperial tomb for no reason. ”

Regarding Lao Suo's questioning, Chen Jinting neither fully agrees with nor completely denies it, Lao Suo is right.

The three dynasties that had a close relationship with Inner Mongolia in history were none other than the Yuan, Liao, and Qing dynasties.

There is indeed no mention in the history books that there was an emperor in these three dynasties, and after his death, it was related to the Wula Mountain in Inner Mongolia.

But in fact, the eighty-three dynasties recorded in history, the 559 emperors are only an approximation, and there is no clear affirmation of this number.

Perhaps there really existed in this mountain a country unknown in history, where a king who was not recorded in history was buried?

The more Chen Jinting thought about it, the more excited he became, he had forgotten that the real purpose of this expedition was to find new rock paintings, and all he was thinking about now was an unwarranted emperor's mausoleum, Chen Jinting really wanted to enter the narrow valley immediately to find out.

however

Just as Chen Jinting was thinking wildly, a woman's cry for help suddenly came from not far away!

At this time, the mountain wind had stopped, and the woman's cry for help sounded particularly abrupt in the silent darkness.

Chen Jinting was suddenly awakened from his imagination by this exclamation, and he turned his head to look in the direction where the cries for help came from, which was where Gong Ping and Yao Lina were staying.

It was already dark, and when Chen Jinting opened his eyes, he couldn't see the situation of Gong Ping and Yao Lina at all.

However, in the dark, Chen Jinting saw the flashlights moving rapidly everywhere. It seems that Gong Ping and Yao Lina are running forward quickly with flashlights again.

The flashlight swaying around is enough to show that Gong Ping and Yao Lina may have encountered some danger.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jinting did not hesitate any longer. jumped off the boulder all of a sudden, waved at Lao Suo, signaled to hurry back to see what was going on, and the two ran back to the place where they broke up with Gong Ping just now, and sure enough, they didn't see Gong Ping and Yao Lina in the same place.

It seems that the flashlight that was swaying around just now was made by the two of them when they left here.

"Team Chen! There's that! At this moment, Lao Suo suddenly pulled Chen Jinting's arm, pointed to the back of several boulders more than ten meters away and shouted.

From the cracks behind the boulders, a few traces of flashlight faintly shone through.

This should be Gong Ping and Yao Lina's two daughters behind those boulders.

Chen Jinting didn't think much about it, and rushed over to the bright place, and Lao Suo didn't wait for Chen Jinting to greet him again, and rushed behind him.

The two of them quickly rushed behind the boulder, and what caught their eyes was a half-human-high opening, and inside the opening was a space separated by several boulders.

Chen Jinting glared into the space, and sure enough, it was Gong Ping and Yao Lina who were hiding in the space behind the boulder with flashlights.

I saw Gong Ping holding Yao Lina with one hand, and the other kept patting Yao Lina's back who was trembling all over, and kept whispering something in her mouth, as if she was comforting Yao Lina.

This situation is obviously that Yao Lina was frightened
