I once read an article on the Internet to the effect that the so-called pyramids did not exist only in Egypt, and similar structures were found in ancient Mayan cultural sites in South America. The author of that article also deduced that there should have been several similar structures along a line at 23 degrees north latitude. It is likely that these structures were built by aliens when they visited Earth in ancient times, and were used to transmit information or energy. Of course, this is just a hypothesis and inference of the author of that article. But when this pyramid-like structure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, we were really blown away. The Chieftain tribe existed in the pre-Qin period, and with the productivity and cultural level of that time, it was simply incredible to build such a majestic building.

The scholar said: "This is nothing, isn't there a Great Wall of China." ”

I thought about it, and yes, although I don't know how the ancients completed such a huge project, but in ancient times, there were great engineering miracles all over the world.

We walked around the perimeter of the stone tower of the ancient city, and found that there was only one passage, and it seemed that we could only enter from here. The fourth master told everyone that the people of the ghost clan were likely to be in this stone tower just now, so everyone must keep up with the team and stay vigilant.

The crowd rushed in, and I thought it might be pitch black inside the tower. Unexpectedly, when I came in, I found that the huge hall was very bright. I searched around, but I didn't find any windows or any lighting tools. Old Xu Nannan said: "It's incredible, this is really a model of architecture." Xia Nan, did you see it, there were no lights around, but it was very bright! The designer of this stone tower is an absolute genius! ”

I suddenly realized something and said, "Old Xu, what do you mean... This stone tower is illuminated entirely by sunlight? ”

"Mr. Xia, don't bring this. The Sprinkle family has little reading, don't lie to me, there is not even a window here, where does the sunlight come from? The scholar's eyes widened.

"Hehe, let you read more books, but you just don't listen, this time you're timid, right?" I smiled and said, "I think it's the sun's rays." Do you remember the little windows in the upper part that we saw outside the tower? Sunlight filters in through those windows and is reflected through a series of stone walls inside the tower, creating an internal lighting system. ”

"Brother Nan, you're not mistaken, right? Could the ancients have been so smart? Linglong was also surprised.

"I think it's what Xia Nan said. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. In ancient times, a house was built out of wood, all fixed with wedges, without a single nail, but very strong. This is a technique that is difficult for even modern people to do. Lao Xu said.

The hall was empty, except for a tripod in the middle. We slowly leaned over, only to see that the tripod was about half a person tall, and it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what material it was, and it was facing us with gray lines to outline a picture. When I looked at it, the painting was very abstract, and I could only tell that it was probably a group of people kneeling down on a high platform, and there were two people standing on the left and right on the top of the high platform. The person on the left wears an ornament on his head and holds a cane, while the one on the right draws three hands.

Lao Xu said that this painting should be the chief of the ancient people worshipping their king, as for the three-handed man on the right, it is likely to highlight this person's ability. Because in ancient times, many ancients would add subjective factors to their paintings, and use more exaggerated techniques to express their worship and respect for the strong.

Linglong said: "Professor Xu, is this 'three hands' the chief high priest Ming Tu mentioned by the fourth elder brother?" ”

"It's hard to say this, but the pictures should reflect a kind of power worship, which is a very normal situation in a slave society and even a feudal society." Lao Xu said.

Before Lao Xu's words fell, the scholar suddenly took a step forward and went straight to Nading.

As soon as the fourth master shouted out the word "don't", the scholar had already grabbed the edge of the ding. I felt a sudden feeling in my heart, and a bad feeling followed.

The originally quiet hall suddenly made a strange noise, the black ding was like a pot of boiling water, making a gurgling sound, and then the yin wind burst out, and the outer door of the stone tower suddenly "banged" and closed!

The people of the Cao family are worthy of being practitioners, and when the scholar and I were still stunned, they had already put the guns in their hands from their shoulders and formed a protective circle around us. Ah Shun pulled the scholar past and led us to the entrance. I was just about to say that the door had been sealed, when a guy from the Cao family behind me let out a miserable scream.

We looked back, and the guy's head had been severed from his neck and body, and blood was spurting upwards more than three meters high! The blood spurted out, and we saw the "murderer", a few blood-colored birds! Needless to say, it must have been the ghost falcon, which was splashed with the guy's blood, and its whole body turned bloody, and it suddenly appeared in its original form.

Ah Shun was also anxious, and a shuttle of bullets shot upward. Something kept falling from mid-air and falling to the ground. The few ghostly falcons that turned blood-red could be seen, but there must have been many transparent falcons in the mid-air that could not be seen. I took out the water bottle mixed with blood from before and threw it into the air, and the transparent falcons turned red when they encountered the blood, so that the target was obvious. The men of the Cao family were all red-eyed, and the pistols and spears went into battle together, forming a dense network of fire above us, and the red ghost falcons continued to fall like raindrops.

The blood bottle in my hand was empty, the bullets were still flying, but very few things had fallen, and I guess the ghost falcons had been wiped out. Ah Shun made a stop gesture, and everyone stopped shooting and watched around vigilantly.

The damn birds must have been killed or fled, and everyone sat down and gasped. After checking the battlefield, the Cao family killed two guys and injured four. There are thirty or forty ghost falcon corpses that can be seen, and there should be more of them.

I don't know if it was because of fear or guilt, the scholar's face was flushed, he coughed, and stammered: "Well, that... That one.. Fourth master, Linglong girl, I blamed the Sprinkle family just now, I was just curious at that time, so I touched the ding, who knew that this chieftain was so bad, there was actually a mechanism. Sorry everyone! Then the scholar turned his head and said to Ah Shun again: "Thank you, you saved me just now." ”

"You don't have to thank me, you don't have to apologize. If you want to apologize, go and apologize to those two dead brothers! Ah Shun was obviously still angry.

The scholar looked embarrassed and kept rubbing his hands.

Seeing this, Ah Shun quietly pulled the corner of the scholar's clothes, and whispered: "Master Han, don't blame yourself, no one knows that there is a mechanism." My brother is so virtuous when he speaks, don't worry. ”

Linglong also said: "Brother Scholar should be careful next time." ”

Only then did the scholar break the siege and silently retreat to the side to smoke.

The fourth master took a sip of water and said to everyone: "Everyone handled it very decisively just now, which is very good. But there should be many dangers ahead, so be sure to brace yourself and don't act on your own. In addition, the gunfire we just fired was likely to reach the ghost clan, and they must have known about the existence of our group, so everyone should be more careful. Trim it up, and let's move on. ”

Everyone packed their backpacks and got up to move on.

Nading was still faintly cooing. As we walked forward, we discussed the mechanics of this mechanism. It is estimated that when this tripod is touched, it will cause a change in temperature or internal equilibrium, which will trigger the mechanism at the bottom of the tripod, and we do not know exactly how the mechanism works, perhaps by the sound of the internal liquid flowing or the volatile smell to stimulate those ghost falcons. These ghostly falcons are supposed to hide in some part of the ceiling, and when the trap is activated, this time the thing will start to prey on the person who triggered the trap. This time, fortunately, the Cao family's guys are all good and well-equipped, and we have discovered the secret of the ghost falcon from the ghost clan before. Otherwise, if you suddenly encounter these things, you don't know what's going on, and you lose your life in the unknown reason. I'm afraid that those people of the ghost clan are like this, they are caught off guard by these invisible things, and they may even think that they have encountered ghosts. In this way, the morale of the team was lost, and the mass casualties were only in a moment. I don't know where these things come from, how can there be such ferocious and strange creatures in the world? If this thing goes to the outside world, it is estimated that it will cause chaos in the world.

Lao Xu said that human beings think they are the masters of the world and blindly feel that they have the most advanced science and technology and knowledge. As everyone knows, the mysteries of nature are endless, and the current knowledge and cognition of human beings are only a drop in the ocean. In unknown places, there are many unexplained phenomena and creatures, and the ghost falcon is just one of them.

The existence of this thousand-year-old stone tower is not normal, not to mention the geographical location here is even more weird, the GPS tracker and mobile phone we carry with us have long lost the function of communication and positioning, so even if there is a three-headed and six-armed animal, it is not unacceptable.

The scholar knew that he had caused trouble, and he no longer dared to be reckless, and crossed the ding with everyone. A short distance ahead is a corner covered by a stone wall, and a staircase formed by stone steps is turned around. The staircase twisted back and forth, spiraling upwards. It seems that there are many floors inside this stone tower.

The fourth master made a stop gesture and walked up the stairs alone to explore the way for us. According to my judgment, if the Ding is counted as a defensive mechanism, then this stone step is easier to ambush, so I have been sweating for the fourth master in my heart.

The fourth master didn't dare to hold it up, and every stone step was walked carefully. However, until the corner of the second floor, there was nothing abnormal, and the fourth master beckoned everyone to follow. I don't think it's scientific, but Linglong says it's the most scientific, because the role of this stone tower is not to prevent thieves, but to have other uses. In this case, it is only necessary to set up some powerful mechanisms in a few places to prevent outsiders from breaking in, and the people of the Chieftain tribe should often enter and exit this tower. If you set up an ambush on the stone steps, you are asking for trouble. I was so embarrassed by this little girl's face that I wanted to refute but felt that she was right.
