Walking here, this kilometer bridge is less than halfway through!

Everyone looked forward and backward, left and right, the lack of human oil in front, still chaotic and blurred, the flue behind them has dispersed, it can be seen that the gray fog is gradually thickening, constantly covering the bridge deck, left and right are the abyss of the river valley, can not be looked at at at all, now, they are like floating boats trapped in the black fog, can not find any basis before and after, a strange horror thoughts, gradually enveloped everyone's hearts.

It was as if they had really entered the exit of the underworld and were floating above the Black Sea!

Song Siyuan told Yue Guanchao the legend of Ren Peacock, which undoubtedly deepened everyone's fear, no matter how it was explained, at least the river turned black and could not be concealed.

Yue Guanchao looked at the bridge with a flashlight, and said with a sigh of teeth: "Isn't it just black water?" Song Qianjin, otherwise, you still explain from a scientific point of view. ”

"Yue Guanchao, you have something to say!" Song Siyuan knew what this vulgar and reckless man meant, and teased: "No matter how scientific the conclusion is, there must be facts as evidence, right now that we are on the bridge, there is no way to get close to Heishui, who can know the reason for Heishui." ”

"Did you two encounter any special circumstances when you two went to the front?"

Yue Guanchao walked nearly 100 meters more than them, and after the two teams converged, they must exchange information first, so as not to miss any important clues.

"The gray fog in front is a little lighter, I feel that the fog is more dense in the middle, and the color is much lighter at the edges and corners, and there is a plank road with hanging planks in the grotto on the opposite side, which seems to lead directly to the river."

Yue Guanchao recalled the plank roads they saw first, these plank roads were mainly stone platforms, under which there were multiple steps, only wood was used to make simple handrails, at most two people passed, and countless stone platforms were hung on the cliff in a zigzag shape, leading to the vicinity of the river.

"You say, could it be the plank road left by the people of the Soul Cultivation Palace, which is convenient for getting water or something!"

Xu Xiake's words made Song Siyuan keep shaking her head, she was obviously not optimistic about this idea: "No, judging from Sister Ren's description, there were people from Xianchu who came here during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Pre-Qin Period, and they only described this as the Evil Luo Stygian Sea after they saw the black water in the river, which shows that the state of this underground river valley has existed for thousands of years." ”

After finishing speaking, she looked at everyone and explained in a mysterious tone: "The Tang Dynasty is only more than a thousand years away from today, no matter what the reason for the black water is, it will not be a relic of the Soul Cultivation Palace period, this kind of man-made traces of man-made construction are likely to be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the pre-Qin period, and they are something left by the ancestors of ancient Chu." ”

"According to Qin Shi Huang's destruction of the Three Chus, the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the pre-Qin dynasty happened to be the most active era of the ancient Chu ancestors."

"Am I right? Sister Ren. ”

Song Siyuan looked at Ren Peacock, only Sister Ren was still familiar with Xianchu culture.

Ren Peacock admired Song Siyuan's mouth the most, seeing that she had guessed the era in which the ancient Chu ancestors lived, her eyes were full of appreciation: "My sister is not wrong when she said that the drop is not wrong, since Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Chu State, Emperor Qin values the culture of the eight gods of Qilu, these witch sacrifice cultures belong to the Southern Barbarian ghost sacrifice for them, it is not worth mentioning, and it has been suppressed and excluded during the Qin Dynasty, and the ancestors of the Three Chu have been forced to scatter all over the place." ”

"I heard the old man mention when he put up the Longmen Array that the era in which the ancestors of ancient Chu lived should be from the Shang Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is rare after the Qin Dynasty."

Song Siyuan saw that his guess was true, and looked at everyone excitedly: "Then this is completely right, the witch sacrifice culture of ancient Chu is a contemporaneous product of the witch sacrifice of the Xia and Shang periods, and there are traces of the ancient tribes and witch gods, these ancestors may have come here thousands of years ago, and not only found black water here, but also built some palaces." ”

"Since then, there are legends of the Styx River and the Youdu in the depths of the Ghost Gate, and this is what began to spread in the ancient Chu culture."

"Then according to what you mean, isn't the old Li family just a dove occupying the magpie's nest?"

Yue Guanchao's words are not rough, judging from the meaning of Song Siyuan's words, the ancestors of ancient Chu have been to this place a long time ago, and it is even very likely that some buildings have been built, and the people of the Li family have built a soul palace here, which is obviously bullying people There is no one in the Chu country.

Song Siyuan pinched her chin and looked at Yue Guanchao: "It's right if you want to understand it this way, Lao Blind and Uncle Tang have both mentioned that the Soul Palace of the Li Tang family was built here, and what they value is the weird and mysterious geographical environment, once they find that the ancestors have a palace here, it means that they have found the right place - this is likely to be really the ghost gate and secluded capital, and the Soul Palace is built here to maintain stability forever." ”

"I'm more curious, what did the ancient Chu ancestors build here?"

Song Siyuan's words made Ren Peacock's eyes flash a strange color: "Sister, I have heard similar statements when I set up the dragon gate array with the old man, the old god of Qinling is called the guardian is actually monitoring the earth gate, I carefully calculated a few times in my heart, will the things he monitor be in the palace of the ancient Chu ancestors!" ”

These words gave Song Siyuan an inspiration, she remembered this, and her brain exploded with fire tree silver flowers:

"By the way, in ancient Chu mythology, the old gods of Qinling guarding the earth gate are monitoring, which also means that there must be some errant old gods imprisoned in the earth gate."

"In the field of mythology research, myths and stories often reflect certain historical events, I wonder if it was in the ancient Chu period, these ancestors built palaces in order to imprison people who made mistakes in the race, so they left a terrifying palace and the Black Water Styx in this abyss, and in the later stage, in order to prevent anyone from finding here, there will be the myth of the dark water of the hidden capital!"

"Essentially, it may be that others are afraid that others will find out the secrets here, so they will make up myths to persuade the living to stay away from the ominous place!"
