Volume 2: Qilian Xianbi Chapter 8: Signs

After we went up to the plank road, we found that one side of the plank road is a guardrail dug by hand, and there are traces of being pressed by the wheels on the surface, every five meters or so, there will be a thirty centimeter high stone beast pillar, there are four five meters wide and more than ten meters long stone slabs on our heads, across the entire water surface, we walk in the opposite direction of the water flow.

Qi Gongming spoke: "Pay attention to these beast pillars and stone walls, maybe someone left a mark." ”

I approached a stone beast pillar close to me, the stone beast on the pillar was carved very strangely, I couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, but based on the appearance and material of this thing, I can speculate that these things are very old and not modern at all, so this means that the whole place we are in may have been excavated by ancient people, but why did it appear here? If this is a channel to divert water, could it be that it was buried deep in the ground due to the collapse of the earth's surface? But this can't be said, the plank road we have walked all the way, as well as the dark road we have walked to enter here, are fully proving that this place is indeed artificially built underground.

Wait a minute! I seem to have thought of something, where did we come from?

Sacrificial pits.

I followed my own thoughts, and gradually seemed to become clearer, when we walked into here, there were a large number of bones in the sacrificial pit, so this place is not used to archive the corpses that were sacrificed, I thought about it, this is not very reasonable, obviously those bones are scattered outside the sacrificial pit, and there is no trace of any tidying, and there is no bone in this area, which is also unreasonable.

I think of the people here, the people here are isolated from the outside, they are all descendants of a certain ancient people and emperors, they have adhered to it for generations, and there are some very peculiar customs, thinking of this, my eyes lit up, as if I understood something!

This is in the mountains, then the area where this tribe lives must have something left by their ancestors, otherwise they would not be so desperately observant, this place is buried deep in the ground, according to the road we walked, if there is really a passage to a place, then will it be the remains of an ancient city that has been buried deeply? I was a little shocked when I thought about it, but I always felt that my speculation was a little unreasonable, or that it was ......

"Jin Rongxuan! Come on, don't be there, we've got a clue. Liu Yu and his party shouted while standing a few meters away from me.

"Huh?" I came back to my senses and didn't think about it anymore, it was better to go out of this weird place now.

I immediately ran over quickly, Qi Gongming and the others looked intently at the stone beast pillar beside them, the clue should be on this, I took a closer look, sure enough, the front wall of this stone pillar is engraved with an arrow, facing the place where we came, the arrow is chiseled with a metal tool, because there is a circle of rust around these chisel marks, so it has been a long time to chisel this mark.

"The direction this arrow points to is the route we took when we came, so let's go back the way we came?" Xiao Jiu asked suspiciously.

Qi Gongming shook his head and said: "The direction is true of the place where we came, which means that this person went out from that sacrificial pit, then he must not have come in from this sacrificial pit, otherwise he would not have carved such a mark." ”

I heard the meaning of Qi Gongming's words, what he meant was that the person who carved this mark came in from another place, from the sacrificial pit, so we just need to find the place where he came in.

At this time, we all felt a little relieved in our hearts, there were people who had come to this place, and there would definitely be something left, as long as we looked for their traces, the exit should be found.

"Could this mark be left by Jinren?" Suddenly, Liu Yu came out of thin air with such a sentence, which shocked me, I didn't think about this problem before, but I can't rule out this possibility, thinking of this, if this place Jinren really came, then it must not be a simple place, and Jinren is not a person, but a team of people, there is more than this one left, this is just speculation, no one is sure of it, now we can only continue to look for other ruins, hoping to find other clues.

We quickened our pace in the opposite direction of the mark, and my heart was filled with secret joy, and I involuntarily rushed to the front like oil on the soles of my feet.

Gradually, we walked farther and farther, and the huge stone slab on our heads was also left behind, and now there was only one plank road left around us, and it was dark all around, and I walked to the front, and my courage was much stronger.

I wanted to get to the end as soon as possible, and the end might be the exit, and thinking of this, I couldn't help but look into the distance, a black patch, except for a lamppost about twenty meters away from me standing in the middle of the road, there was nothing.

Lamp... Lamppost? My mind flashed, could it be that I had just read it wrong? I took a few steps forward and stopped to take a closer look.

It doesn't matter if I don't look at it, I'm shocked when I see it! Where is this lamppost, obviously a person standing in the middle of the road! Because it was too dark, I could only see the shape of a person, I shouldn't be mistaken, I gasped, how could there be people in this strange place? Is it the people of that tribe who have come to besiege us?

A few people from behind came over, they didn't notice the figure in front of them, I waved to stop them, and made a "shhhh

Quan Juncai's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found the figure, and he was stunned on the spot, and a cold sweat flowed down, if he met a person in normal times, it would not be strange, but in this case, even a cat barking can scare people to death.

For a while, everyone stood in place, confronting the figure twenty meters away from us for a full thirty seconds, no one moved, Qi Gongming was a little impatient, and scolded in a low voice: "Who the hell is this, come over if you want to come, it's a big deal, but what's the matter with his mother standing there and not moving?" ”

"Don't you think it's a little strange about this man? Take a closer look. Jun Juncai whispered.

Qi Gongming and I took a few steps forward at the same time, looked carefully, and looked a little gray under the reflection of the water waves, and then Qi Gongming said "oh~", as if he understood something.

"Hi... I thought it was something, and it scared me, it turned out to be a figurine. ”

Hearing him say this, I remembered the terracotta warriors, so I probably understood, but then again, it's not normal for human figurines to appear here, right?

The figurines generally appear in the sacrificial pit of the imperial mausoleum, although this is a sacrificial pit, could it be that there is a mausoleum buried here? I suddenly remembered my speculation just now, the remnants of the ancients, the sacrificial pits, the artificially dug up, on the mountain, in the underground, the figurines, or ......

I'm in the same place, all of this is so consistent!
