There was not a single cloud in the clear blue sky.

The peaks of the nonsensical mountain system are towering into the sky, and the summits are covered with snow, which sets off the green below the snow line. The mountain peaks are stacked on top of each other, pushing away from near to far, with no end in sight. Occasionally a cuckoo's call resounded through the valley.

It was early in the morning, and the air was so fresh that Zuo Tianyou's nose was a little sour. He looked up at the other side of the mountains, thinking that the Wuji Mountain Range was really a blessed land for field research, no wonder the old man Li Lao of the Institute of Archaeology smiled and patted his shoulder and said that he would cherish this opportunity, which was really rare.

"Zuo Tianyou, what are you thinking about? Hurry up!" The one who spoke was a slightly chubby boy, surnamed Zhang, who entered the archaeological institute in the same batch as Zuo Tianyou, and everyone usually jokingly called him Zhang Xiaopang.

Zuo Tianyou glanced back at Zhang Xiaopang, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiaopang, you can't keep up, and you are urging me, I don't think you can go in front of me!"

"Hey, you're clearly discriminating against us fat people!" I protest!" Zhang Xiaopang blushed, pinching his waist with one hand, panting.

Zuo Tianyou smiled: "I didn't discriminate against you!

The two were still arguing, and Cheng Gong, who was walking in the front, shouted: "There is a large cave entrance here, everyone wear helmets and turn on the lights." Queue up to enter. ”

When a group of centaurs heard the captain's command, they took out their helmets and put them on, turned on the miner's lamp, and entered the mouth of the cave in the bushes.

Zuo Tianyou took a closer look, this hole didn't feel very big, it was estimated that it could only allow two people to pass sideways, and they would suffer some grievances if they were too fat and too tall.

Zuo Tianyou turned around and smiled: "Zhang Xiaopang, that hole is not spacious, and you have to collect your stomach a little when you pass, otherwise the people behind you will be blocked by you, and the captain will have to settle accounts with you." ”

Zhang Xiaopang sneered angrily: "Young Master Zuo, you should also be careful, the entrance of the cave is at most one meter and five meters high, be careful to twist your neck!"

Zuo Tianyou didn't bend down and passed through the hole, his eyes instantly fell into a brief darkness, and his body didn't dare to take any further steps, until Zhang Xiaopang squeezed into the hole and pushed it, Zuo Tianyou felt that there were still a few pillars of light in front of him.

"Wow, it's so dark, could there be a ghost in there?"

"You're still studying archaeology! I've read too many tomb robbery novels!" As a top student majoring in archaeology, Zuo Tianyou is very disdainful of some of the extremely popular novels on the market.

"As far as you study archaeology, we all dig mountains and quarry stones!"

Zhang Xiaopang and Zuo Tianyou are in the same school, the same department and the same major, the only difference is the distance between the top students and the scumbags.

At the beginning of the recruitment of people by the archaeological institute, Zuo Tianyou's almost perfect resume attracted the attention of several leaders at the same time, and it can be said that there was no suspense, and Zuo Tianyou successfully entered the archaeological institute of his dreams.

On the day he received the employment notice, Zhang Xiaopang snorted at Zuo Tianyou's house, complaining that the work was not implemented, and he was so annoyed that he dragged Zuo Tianyou out for a drink.

But there was a basketball professional league that night, and Zuo Tianyou didn't plan to go out at all. In the end, for the sake of clean ears, and for this little boy who has been together since he wore open crotch pants, Zuo Tianyou dialed his father's phone.

Hearing his son begging him to do his own errands, Zuo Tianyou's father was rare and funny that day, what is rare is that his son has been excellent since he was a child, and there is no place to help him, today he actually begged him to find a job, and the funny thing is that the job is for a friend!

Of course, the first time my son opened his mouth after growing so big, he had to do it well, and besides, it was just a position in an archaeological institute and a phone call. So, in the end, Zhang Xiaopang happily went to the archaeological institute to join the company.

Zuo Tianyou was choked by Zhang Xiaopang, and taunted the fat back who ran in front of him: "Your figure is quite like a mountain mining stone!"

Zhang Xiaopang shook his head and ran forward, overtaking several people in front, and followed behind the captain's buttocks, asking this and that, and ignoring Zuo Tianyou again.

Zuo Tianyou smiled helplessly, knowing that this kid had a wide heart and a fat body, and he didn't hold grudges for more than ten minutes, so he didn't bother to care about him, and continued to walk forward with the team.

There is not much space at the entrance of the cave, Zuo Tianyou can only bend his waist and bow his head forward, but he has traveled for less than twenty minutes, and he has a sore back, plus he saw unevenness on the road in the back street of the school two days before departure, and saved a student who was besieged and blackmailed, and his ankle was still swollen when he accidentally injured when he taught a few little bastards.

At the back of the team, there was an old member of the team, associate researcher Wang of the institute, who saw that Zuo Tianyou was walking a little limping, so he stepped forward to support Zuo Tianyou's arm.

Zuo Tianyou saw that his seniors, who were many years older than him, came to help him, and immediately felt embarrassed, and quickly withdrew his arm and smiled embarrassedly: "Wang Gong, I can do it." ”

Associate Researcher Wang saw Zuo Tianyou's embarrassment and didn't reluctantly help him anymore, so the two of them walked forward with their front and back feet.

"Xiao Zuo, this is the first time you have participated in an investigation. "Wang Gong is very kind.

The entrance at the top of the head had just been completed, and under the illumination of the miner's lamp, there was a very open space in front of it, the size of a playground.

Zuo Tianyou stretched out his arm, straightened his waist, and replied with a smile: "I have only been in our institute for more than a year, and this is the first time I have come out." ”

"You know you're a newbie at a glance. When I first came out to participate in the scientific expedition, I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep the night before I left. Now that I've come out more, I've exercised my body, but the excitement is gone. Wang Gong sighed.

Zuo Tianyou doesn't have much contact with the people in the institute on weekdays, but he also heard that this person is so boastful, and when he heard this, he knew that this person wanted to show off his bravery.

Sure enough, this person chattered like an aunt, what equipment, tombs, mountain structures, and water flow systems...... Hearing this, Zuo Tianyou was dizzy, and it was not good to tell him to stop.

When he was bored, the captain's headlamp stopped, and he shouted for everyone to rest on the spot for twenty minutes. When Zuo Tianyou heard this, if he was amnesty, he yelled at the front: "Zhang Xiaopang, is it convenient to go?"

Zhang Xiaopang had already forgotten about the bickering just now, and ran over one after another, and said with a surprised face: "It's convenient for you to go by yourself, why did you call me?"

Zuo Tianyou wanted to smash his pig's head at this time, but in order to get rid of the Tang Seng next to him, he hugged Zhang Xiaopang and said: "The black light is blind, and it is not safe for one person to move." After speaking, he squeezed his eyes directly at Zhang Xiaopang.

Zhang Xiaopang is fat and poor in study, but his head is very clear, and when he saw Zuo Tianyou's face paralyzed, he knew that he was looking for help, and immediately said: "I am also holding my pee." Let's go!"

After walking away for a few steps, he smiled and asked, "Hey, didn't you just say that I read too many tomb robbery novels?"

Zuo Tianyou stretched out his hand and slapped a chubby hat, and said in a low voice: "If you don't say a word, no one will sell you!" I'm afraid that if I say that I want to relieve myself, the one next to me will follow. ”

Zhang Xiaopang was even more happy now, and laughed quietly: "Comrade Xueba, there are still things you can't do! You are a little ashamed of the title of Xueba!"

Zuo Tianyou found a crack in the mountain rock far away from the team and began to relieve himself.

Zhang Xiaopang also came over, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Do you know what mission we are going out this time?"

Zuo Tianyou said disdainfully: "Didn't you participate in the preparatory meeting?!"

Zhang Xiaopang pulled up his trouser chain, leaned closer, and whispered: "If it's the same as what was said at the meeting, why do I still ask you! You really think my brain is broken!"

Zuo Tianyou was most annoyed by Zhang Xiaopang's selling off, tidied up his pants and top, turned around, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have a fart, let it go!" Don't be so mother-in-law!"

Zhang Xiaopang was blinded and squeezed again, but he was still mysterious, and just as he was about to speak, a yin wind blew, and the two of them shrank their necks together.

Zuo Tianyou reflexively glanced at the place where the team was resting, and suddenly found that it was dark over there, and he secretly screamed in his heart.

slapped Zhang Xiaopang and said, "What a ghost hit the wall! It's all your stinky mouth!"

Zhang Xiaopang's face turned white with fright, trembling and speechless, and wanted to pull out a short-edged knife from his belt, but his hand trembled so much that he didn't take it out!

Zuo Tianyou showed the sapper shovel pinned to his waist, opened his throat and shouted a few times. The echo in the huge hole is very loud, and the sound collides back and forth, and the speed is very fast. Zuo Tianyou muttered silently in his heart, Is this a cave?

Zhang Xiaopang was frightened by Zuo Tianyou's shouting, and pleaded in a low voice: "Please, my ancestor, don't shout!

"Don't shout, do you know where they are?"

A sentence of "direction" reminded Zhang Xiaopang, he rolled up his sleeves to look at the compass on his watch, it didn't matter, only to see that the compass needle was spinning at high speed, just like crazy. Zuo Tianyou gasped for air, and when he looked closely, the hand of time stopped moving.

The two looked at each other in astonishment, and Zhang Xiaopang cried, "I'm dreaming, right?

Zuo Tianyou was desperately thinking about how he fell into such a situation in an instant, but when he saw Zhang Xiaopang self-harming there, he was a little angry.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to taunt him, Zhang Xiaopang jumped back, and the ghost shouted: "Hey! Zuo Tianyou! I don't have such fun like you! You can't be angry with me!"

"You're self-harming there, it's my business!" Zuo Tianyou didn't have a good breath.

"You stepped on someone's foot and pushed it clean, how big are you!" Zhang Xiaopang squirted.

Zuo Tianyou hurriedly wiped the "rain spots" sprayed on his face with his sleeve, and was just about to scold, when suddenly he seemed to have been stepped on, and the heart-like pain made Zuo Tianyou immediately bend over, humming and scolding Zhang Xiaopang:

"You're sick, I'm not stepping on you! You have to step on me again, don't you know that Lao Tzu's foot is injured?"

Before the words fell, a rumbling sound from the bottom of the mountain came from afar, Zuo Tianyou and Zhang Xiaopang looked at each other with their mouths open, stunned for two seconds, and the two of them thought of one thing at the same time, earthquake!

Before Zuo Tianyou's leg fell down, the swaying began, Zuo Tianyou's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the side, and then Zhang Xiaopang also rolled over.

Tiny stones fell one after another, and the two of them hurriedly guarded their heads and curled up. Zuo Tianyou looked around from the gap between his arms, and found that there was a small pass in the mountain not far away that could be avoided for a while, so he kicked Zhang Xiaopang, and the two of them crawled towards the small pass.

The falling stones got bigger and bigger, and the two of them were smashed to pieces, almost dying, and at the moment when a huge rock fell, the two of them squeezed into the cave at the same time.

Zhang Xiaopang panted, wiped a handful of dust on his face, and said to Zuo Tianyou: "Dude, you should react quickly, otherwise we will be smashed into meatloaf." ”

At this time, the shaking stopped, and the convulsions of the earth seemed to have ended, except for a large and small rock, and it was hard to imagine that such a small earthquake had just happened.

Zuo Tianyou calmed his breathing, saw that Zhang Xiaopang's hat was gone, and hurriedly reached out and touched the top of his head. Luckily, the hat is still there and the lights are on.

I turned my head to see the boulder that had fallen, the size of a small mountain, and it was majestically blocked at the mouth of the pass.

After Zuo Tianyou observed both sides, he discovered the seriousness of the problem. This mountain rock is not big or small, just blocked in the middle of the road, and the space left on both sides is less than an arm's width, even Zuo Tianyou's slender figure will never squeeze through, let alone Zhang Xiaopang.

Damn! I just escaped a catastrophe, and I ran into another roadblock. I knew that I wouldn't be able to take leave, otherwise it would not be as cool as sleeping at home and watching the football game!

Zuo Tianyou experienced a huge change in the darkness of the sky within ten minutes, and he was physically and mentally injured, and he didn't know where to fly when he was relaxed and happy when he went up the mountain before.

Zhang Xiaopang saw that this guy was silent, thinking that he was smashed stupidly, so he got up and moved to try whether the other parts of the body were okay.

This pass is not small, but it is not big, and it looks like it has a dozen square meters. When the earth shook just now, a lot of stones fell in, and there were gravel slag everywhere.

Zuo Tianyou saw that Zhang Xiaopang was active, lowered his head and looked at the stones under his feet, he couldn't help laughing, and said happily to him: "The organization can't be found, you still have the leisure to hunt for treasures everywhere!"

Zhang Xiaopang didn't seem to hear it, and kicked back and forth twice with one foot on the ground, as if he saw something.

Zuo Tianyou also walked over. I saw Zhang Xiaopang squatting down, sweeping away the dust on the uneven ground with his hands, and picking up something in one of the small pits.

Zuo Tianyou raised his hand to lower the miner's lamp above his head, aimed at the thing in Zhang Xiaopang's hand, and a red transparent crystal was lying quietly in Zhang Xiaopang's hand with a layer of ash.

"Hey, Comrade Xueba, look at the treasure I have found!" Zhang Xiaopang laughed stupidly.

Zuo Tianyou didn't say a word, picked up the red crystal, rubbed it on his clothes, and blew it twice hard. This red thing is showing its true face. The two of them, with four eyes, stared at this thing in unison, and shouted in unison: "Blood Amber!"

"These eighty percent are objects from the **** period, look at this pattern!" Zhang Xiaopang exclaimed.

Zuo Tianyou felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, if it was really the **** period, then this trip was not in vain, but it was a pity that he was in trouble now, and the equipment was not there, otherwise he would have used an instrument to make a measurement, and he would have known what age it was.

Zuo Tianyou lowered the miner's lamp a little more, and completely gathered the entire pillar of light on the blood amber, and found that there was a very small thing in the blood amber, and if you didn't look carefully, you would think that it was a little impurity.

Zhang Xiaopang smacked his lips and sighed: "The thing is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's not pure inside and can't be sold at a high price." ”

"We are participating in scientific research activities, not tomb robbery activities. Little brother, wake up!" Zuo Tianyou didn't have a good airway.

As he spoke, Zuo Tianyou lowered his head and continued to carefully observe the impurities in the blood pearl.

In fact, amber is mostly formed in an instant, and it is normal for it to contain impurities, and even many amber embedded in the whole insect are very common, but in this case, there are many bubbles left in it and cannot be discharged, so that the value of the entire amber is affected.

But this piece of blood amber itself is crystal translucent, there is not a single small bubble, and the color is very pure, but the small black dot in the middle destroys the purity of the entire amber.

Zhang Xiaopang leaned closer, looked at it, and said, "It's a piece of mud inside! It's better to be an insect!"

Zuo Tianyou glanced at him and began to threaten: "Classmate Zhang Xiaopang, you sleep more in class than you listen to lectures, and now you look at it twice with your little slits, and you dare to conclude that there is a lump of mud inside?

Zhang Xiaopang's face was a little unbearable, and he said unconvinced: "Young Master Zuo, you have big eyes, can you see what's inside?" It's not Lao Tzu bragging, when you go out and sweep it with the machine, it's also a piece of mud!"

Zuo Tianyou shook his head helplessly, his hand that had just been holding the blood amber was sore, so he changed his hand to take it, Zhang Xiaopang looked at his other hand, and exclaimed: "Dude, your hand is injured!"

Zuo Tianyou looked down and saw that there was indeed a deep wound on the palm of his hand, and the blood was still oozing out, and the blood was stained with the blood that had just flowed out.

Zhang Xiaopang hurriedly took out a roll of tattered toilet paper from his pocket, and wiped it on the wound without saying anything.

Zuo Tianyou instinctively flashed back and shouted: "Zhang Xiaopang, you take a butt paper to stop the bleeding for me, you fucking want Lao Tzu to be infected with tetanus!"

"Why are you so exquisite!, it's okay!" said Zhang Xiaopang and moved forward enthusiastically.

Zuo Tianyou clenched the blood and clenched his hand into a fist, for fear that Zhang Xiaopang's toilet paper would be close to his wound.

The two of them pushed and pulled as if they were rushing to pay the bill, Zuo Tianyou didn't stand firm with a pain in his foot, and immediately fell on his back, and a layer of gray fog was suddenly lifted on the ground.

"Zhang Xiaopang, you are endless!" Zuo Tianyou's entire butt and back were pressed against the large and small stones, and the pain was so painful.

"Be kind to donkey liver and lungs! next time I will help you, I will be your grandson!" Zhang Xiaopang muttered.

Zuo Tianyou endured the pain, barely got up from the ground, and kept clenching the hand holding the blood amber.

After getting up, Zuo Tianyou rummaged in his pocket with one hand, looking for a piece of clean paper to wipe the blood amber well, but he opened the clenched fist, but he couldn't help but exclaim: "Where's the blood amber?!"

When Zhang Xiaopang, who pretended to dodge, heard this, he ran over with an arrow step, pulled Zuo Tianyou's hand and looked at it, and shouted: "Grandpa's! Where did you get it!"

The two of them immediately launched a carpet search in the small pass, basically rummaging through every stone, big and small, but there was not even a shadow of that piece of blood.

Zhang Xiaopang panted and said, "Dude, did it burrow into your wound? Did you deliberately hide it and prepare to go back and sell it for money!"

"You spend money all day long! If you can find out from my clothes now, I am your grandson!" Zuo Tianyou was tired and angry, and he was about to do something to this little fat man.

However, Zhang Xiaopang reminded himself in one sentence, Zuo Tianyou stretched out his injured hand and looked at it carefully, and found that the wound was gone, and there was not even a trace of scarring.

Zuo Tianyou couldn't believe his eyes, and hurriedly stretched out his other hand, spreading both hands under the pillar of light.

There were no wounds, no wounds, just dust on the palms of the two intact hands.

No! No! Something must be wrong! The two people in astonishment looked at each other and froze in place, unable to understand why.

The inexplicable confusion was still tightly wrapped around Zuo Tianyou, and the rumbling sound of the earth cracking came from under his feet again, and the mountain twisted open, tearing painfully and violently......

Before Zuo Tianyou came back to his senses, a boulder flew down from the top of his head, and smashed into the col with a "boom", and the dust rose, and it didn't take long for everything to be calm again.
