Chapter Fifty-Three: The Golden Mountain

Unlike Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi, who drank from the sea, Hao Aiguo first filled the water and came to Professor Chen, and after handing the kettle to Professor Chen, he returned to the underground lake and began to drink water.

Although Hao Aiguo has a straight face on weekdays, and all he brings to the team is low pressure, when it comes to respecting and caring for Professor Chen, he is also incomparable to everyone else.

In the final analysis, there are still some old-fashioned things in his bones, and there are good and bad things, the bad is that many times the brain does not know how to be flexible, and it is easy to be impulsive and reckless, and the good thing is that he can quickly communicate with people who can afford it, and he values love and righteousness.

After everyone drank the water, they were about to rest happily for a while, and they saw that on the convex ground in the lake, I don't know when, it was crawling with a dense layer of cyan phosphor insects, there were tens of thousands of them, their bodies gradually turned gray-white, one by one wriggling and crawling out of the shell, there seemed to be a lot of fluorescence on the body of the insects after molting, shining, as brilliant as the starlight in the sky, the insects stretched their wings just gotten, and they could fly to the sky after a while.

At this moment, countless large rats jumped into the cave from all directions, these rats were not afraid of humans at all, they turned a blind eye to us people, jumped into the lake without hesitation, went to the water, rushed to climb the convex ground in the middle of the lake, greedily grabbed the insects that had just faded, and kept sending them to the mouth to eat.

When the rats had eaten their fill, they swam back to the shore and scattered.

From beginning to end, these rats and cyan beetles didn't care about everyone in the slightest.

After this play, everyone had no idea of resting, and began to set off again.

Along the way, the more you walk, the more water vapor increases, the four walls are getting more and more humid, there are many artificially dug stone chambers on both sides of this passage, all equipped with this iron fence, with big locks, there are many torture instruments in it, it seems that it is used to hold prisoners, and now it has become a rat nest, and the ground is full of mouse droppings.

A moment later, the group came to a dark river with a rushing water.

This is the Zduyan River, which has flowed under the sand sea for thousands of years and has never dried up, and the river is not only large, but also very deep, and at its end it joins the Tarim River.

On the opposite side of the river is a large stone cave connected by a black stone bridge, also made of black stones from the Zagrama Mountains, flying over the raging waters of the Zdow River.

In front of the cave at the other end of the black bridge, there is a jack gate, which is half hung up with a large iron chain with the thickness of a human arm, and a huge stone is placed underneath.

Coming here, Professor Chen, who was well versed in the ancient culture of the Western Regions, had already judged that the other end of the cave was very likely to be the tomb of the Exquisite Queen.

Now that they knew this, they did not linger any longer.

Hu Bayi suggested that he should go to explore the road first, but Xue Yang shook his head, the number of people on their trip was not much, only six people, and Professor Chen was the only one who really needed to be taken care of.

Xue Yang was confident that he would be able to take care of Professor Chen nearby, and he knew that Hu Bayi's exploration process was not dangerous, so he did not want to waste time again.

Through the stone bridge, everyone entered the passage behind the jack gate one after another, behind the gate is a downward narrow ramp, the slope is extremely steep, everyone walks hand in hand, the speed of walking is not fast.

The ramp was a bit long, and the people walked for a long time, but fortunately, there was no danger along the way.

When they reached the end of the ramp, everyone saw a platform under the ramp, and there were hundreds of giant pupil stone statues standing on the platform, and the edge of the platform was a steep mountain wall.

Hu Bayi took out the cold fireworks for lighting, and by the light of the fireworks, everyone saw that there was a large flat land below, and there were various gold and silver utensils, pearls and gems, and bone chalcedony piled up on the ground.

Seeing this mountain-like gold, silver and pearl, even Miss Yang, who has always seemed wealthy, couldn't help but gasp.

And Wang Fatzi, a wealth fan, was even more confused by the countless pearl agate.

"Lao Hu, just take a few things here, and we're going to get rich. ”

"Comrade Xiao Wang, don't talk nonsense, everything here is a witness to history and must be handed over to the state. ”

Professor Chen may be the calmest of all the people in the audience, he has never had a concept of money, he has always felt that it is good to have enough money to eat, and he has never worried about money, so he doesn't understand Wang Fatzi's greed for money.

"Professor Chen, ignore these for now, let's find the queen's coffin as soon as possible. ”

Xue Yang spoke, looked around, and soon saw a rope ladder, the rope ladder hung on a large stone that grew with the platform, hanging down from the side of the platform, and the old-fashioned safety locks were fastened at both ends.

Shirley Yang said: "This may be left by explorers who have come before, although the rope ladder is strong, after all, it is more than a year, let's use our own rope ladder." ”

As he spoke, Shirley Young began to take off his backpack and rummage through it.

A moment later, she pulled out several rope ladders from her backpack that were noticeably brighter and stronger.

Taking out the rope ladder, everyone was about to go down, and they heard Hu Bayi say worriedly: "There are so many jade jewels down here, why didn't those explorers who came here before take them away, those foreigners are not good things, if it sounds good, they are explorers, and if it doesn't sound good, they are thieves who come to our China to steal things, you know, thieves don't go empty!"

Wang Fatzi nodded, and said in response: "Those foreigners are not good things, they can't leave without anything when they come here, there must be a problem here." ”

When Wang Fatzi said this, he specially accentuated the three words foreigner, and deliberately looked at Shirley Yang's expression, who knew that Shirley Yang didn't pay attention to him at all, and only put his eyes into the deep underground.

Shirley Yang didn't answer Wang Fatzi's words, but Xue Yang explained on the side: "Lao Hu's worries are correct, they can't enter Baoshan and ignore it, there must be some reasons why they can't take these gold and silver utensils, but even so, we still have to go down, I think none of us will want to go back directly when we get here." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Xue Yang's statement, even if they knew that it was dangerous, it was impossible for everyone to turn back at this moment.

Along the rope ladder, everyone quickly came to the bottom, and when they saw these pearl agate rendered in various colors, everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Wang Fatzi walked in the end in secret, touched a few small objects from Baoshan and wanted to stuff them into his arms.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi threw everything out of his arms one by one, since An Liman and Shirley Yang told all kinds of weirdness in this desert, he felt that he had to be careful and careful when entering the Exquisite Ancient City this time.

The gold and silver utensils in front of him didn't look like much, but with the legend in the Tang Dynasty Western Regions and the legend that An Liman had always recognized, Hu Bayi was also secretly vigilant in his heart.

He felt that if he did take out the gold and silver, then it was very likely that they would never be able to return to reality.
