Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Ancient Battlefield
We walked to the edge of the broken pieces of the bridge, the broken wood had long since rotted, and when we touched it with our hands, the pieces of wood immediately turned into a pile of debris.
Looking at the thickness of the broken logs, it is conceivable that the bridge must have been built large and sturdy, and it looks like it was specially designed for heavy carriages and horses. Even so, it cannot escape the erosion of time and eventually decays.
We found a few wrist-thick chains at the back of the wooden bridge, which we don't know what they were used for, but which could be used as ropes to climb out of the river.
The iron chain was rusty, Shi Tao pulled it with his hand, it felt very strong, Shi Tao grabbed the iron chain and climbed up first. Wen Mo followed and climbed up, followed by Kong Xue and me.
The moment we climbed out of the river, we were amazed by the scene in front of us, on both sides of the river were two huge clearings, in which we saw countless broken flagpoles, damaged chariots, and all kinds of weapons thrown to the ground.
We looked around and said, "What is this place?" How can there be these things? ”
Wen Mo casually picked up a weapon and looked at it, "This seems to be an ancient battlefield." ”
"Ancient battlefield?" I also picked up a weapon casually, and I was stunned when I looked at it, "This, this is a commonly used Ge in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, could it be that this is the place where King Wu of Zhou fought with the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan?" ”
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look around, the smoke and dew were heavy frost and the wind horn, and the sound of misery invaded the robe. According to the saddle Gu Pandu sand moraine, the vertical and horizontal white bones are burned. A wave of murder swept in.
There are still some mutilated bones left on the edge of this battlefield, and it is obvious that both sides were in a bit of a hurry when they evacuated, and some corpses were left here.
Looking at these bones, some of them are the same as us, we speculate that the people are the army of the Zhou Dynasty, and some of the bones are the same as the corpses of the cliff burial group, obviously this is what the people of Shan Huan Guguo look like. This also explains the question in my heart just now in the river, the bones similar to ours in the river are actually left by the army of the Zhou Dynasty.
We continued to walk through this ancient battlefield, and I don't know when, I suddenly noticed that the wind was blowing, although it was not very strong, but I could clearly feel the air convection. The wind blew among the chariots and rocks that fell to the ground, and struck the stone walls on the side, making a strange sound, like the cry of battle on the battlefield, and like the whimpering of unjust souls, in short, we got goosebumps when we heard it.
Kong Xue pulled me beside her, "Let's go, let's go quickly!" ”
Shi Tao looked around, "How can there be air flow here, is there a connection between here and outside?" ”
I thought for a while and said: "There must be something to figure out, otherwise how did those Zhou Dynasty troops attack and enter, it is impossible to detour from the underground of the Acropolis like us, the Zhou Dynasty army at that time had just overthrown the Shang rule, and the morale was high, and it would definitely adopt a frontal attack." ”
Kong Xue continued: "If this is the case, this should be the underground of the inner city of the royal city, could it be the route that the Tang family came into?" ”
I was a little unsure, and I couldn't help but look at Wenmo, but Wenmo didn't seem to care about our discussion, but looked around, and then stared at the ancient battlefield, frowning tightly.
I had no choice but to pretend to understand and nodded, "I think it's about the same, even if it's not the same route, it shouldn't be far away." ”
We have walked forward for a long time, and the mess left behind by the war on the ground has gradually decreased, which shows the enormity of this battlefield. This also shows that we have begun to leave the scope of the ancient battlefield, and in front of us is the underground of the real royal city of the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom, I am eager to see what kind of things the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom has, which surprises King Wu of Zhou? What kind of secrets are hidden in this ancient country that has almost been erased by history. Maybe all the answers we want to know are there!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
And at this moment, I suddenly thought of a problem, in fact, this problem should have been discovered a long time ago, but it seems to be too obvious to be ignored by us, maybe we have walked underground for too long and have forgotten the outside world.
This problem is that if King Wu of Zhou comes to attack the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, generally speaking, the battlefield should be on the ground, at most after the defeat of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, he will hide underground with the remnants of the army, and the Zhou army will enter the underground to pursue, so that there will only be some small-scale battlefields. But this is not the case, here, the calm on the ground is the appearance of such a large battlefield underground, judging from the scale of this place, this is definitely a positional battle with all the best efforts of both sides, not like a war of annihilation in pursuit of the enemy hiding underground.
This shows that King Wu of Zhou went straight to the underground of the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom, and the place where the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom went all out to meet the enemy was also underground, why is this? What is there in this underground that would make both sides so costly!
As I thought about it, I unconsciously glanced at Wen Mo, and I found that he had been thinking about it since he saw this battlefield, and it was obvious that he had thought of something, but he didn't say it.
I wanted to ask Wenmo's opinion, but suddenly I heard Shi Tao in the front suddenly "Huh", I turned my head to look in his direction, but found that there was a depression in front of me with stone walls on three sides, and it looked like a dead end.
We froze all of a sudden, we went through all the ordeal to get here, and it turned out to be a dead end? Could it be that we have gone down the wrong path before? Should we go the way the spirits walked?
I think of the bottomless hole at the end of the river, and I feel a chill behind my back, if it is really that road, I think I would rather go home!
But didn't the second uncle leave a symbol on this road? Does that symbol mean that this is not the way out? That's too tricky!
I was thinking wildly, Wenmo reached out and took out a flare gun from his bag, loaded a flare, and fired a shot at the sky, a white light shot straight up, and suddenly exploded in mid-air.
The dazzling white light burst open, instantly brightening the ground below. And we were so shocked by what we saw in front of our eyes that I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
In front of us, there is no dead end surrounded by stone walls on three sides. In the middle is a large stone door, at least four stories tall, and on either side of the stone gate, two equally large stone statues.
A statue carved from a stone statue, this person is like a bird-faced human body, with wings on its back, its head is slightly chinned, and its eyes are looking downward, just looking in the direction we are, giving people a very strong sense of oppression! I couldn't help but feel a little weak.
