An Ning tasted Xie Yu's words to Miss An Ning and felt a little angry, but didn't say anything.

And continued: "Looking from the waterline too long ago, the position of the waterline suddenly changed."

Xie Yu: "What a change? Has it become lower or higher?"

Aning: "It turns out that the water line has become higher and the water level has lowered."

Xie Yu seemed to understand something and asked tentatively: "What Miss Aning means is that all the water that was originally at a high level has left."

"In other words, this water flows to the deepest part of the Queen Mother of the West."

Aning nodded slightly and said: "If our inference is correct, this is an oasis area and a habitual crater, then the deepest part of the crater is the center of the crater."

Xie Yu smiled and said, "I understand what Miss Aning means. The center of the crater, which is the deepest part, should be where the water level is lowest. It may also be the real secret location of the Queen Mother Palace of the West."

Aning took a serious look at Xie Yu and said, "Just call me Aning. Since we have reached a consensus, we will definitely reach the center of the crater by walking along the underground water."

Xie Yu nodded and said no more.

The two of them followed the corridor of the ruins and soon reached a place where the underground water level dropped.

At this time, Xie Yu suddenly saw a fixed set of ropes tied to the stone pillars of the corridor. Xie Yu followed the sound and soon saw an opening that looked like a cave shaft.

Xie Yu squatted and looked inside from above. He could only see what was inside, but he could hear the sound of water and feel waves of cold air rushing toward him.

Xie Yu stood up and said to An Ning: "Miss An Ning, I think Third Master and the others went down from here. Let's go down from here too. However, we need to wear thicker clothes in advance. I can feel the coolness down there.

"

Aning glanced at Xie Yu and said: "The sun doesn't see here all year round. It's the deepest part of this place. It's normal to be cold. Let's change clothes!"

After saying that, Aning did not shy away from Xie Yu at all, and changed her clothes in front of Xie Yu.

Xie Yu turned her face away and started to change clothes, as if she didn't hear the "we" that An Ning said.

After the two of them were ready, Xie Yu took the lead, and Aning broke off and followed the rope into the kiln.

Soon after reaching the bottom, Xie Yu's feet were submerged into about 20 centimeters of water.

It was very dark inside, so Xie Yu turned on the waterproof headlamp that she had prepared a long time ago, set it to low-power mode, and began to look around.

What do you mean here? It's a large square shape of more than four meters by four meters. It's smooth and smooth everywhere. It looks like an artificial underground sewer.

Thousands of years ago, the Queen Mother of the West did this. It can be seen that the "infrastructure madman" has been inherited in the mythical era, and now it has been inherited in the bones of the Chinese people.

Continuing to walk along the underground waterway, Xie Yu's Aning walked strictly in the direction of the water flow.

After turning a few corners, the waterway suddenly entered a large reservoir full of steps. I looked up and saw that this was actually a reservoir composed of seven steps.

Xie Yu was a little shocked when he saw this kind of building. This may not be a big deal in modern times, but it was an amazing achievement in ancient times thousands of years ago.

At this time, Aning suddenly pointed to the high platform above the reservoir and said: "Where is the domestic garbage left by someone? It seems that Third Uncle and the others have stayed here."

Xie Yu quickly jumped up and saw many boxes left by self-heating hotpots piled up in the corner. When the light exposed the oil stain, Xie Yu actually felt sick.

Xie Yu thought: "What is everyone's responsibility to take care of hygiene? If these plastic cartons are put here, they will soon pollute the water quality here."

Xie Yu didn't want others to underestimate the quality of the Chinese people. At this moment, Aning illuminated a smelly grotto and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Third Master and the others should have gone down from here."

Xie Yu looked around and then at the scattered footprints around the grotto, and basically agreed with Aning's meaning.

Now that they were sure, Xie Yu and Aning didn't waste any time, endured the stench and jumped in together.

Then the two of them, with the water almost up to their chests, bent over and crossed the long and narrow grotto. Fortunately, the distance was not too far.

Xie Yu and Aning quickly walked out of the grotto.

Of course, the first thing after going out was to quickly find some water and wash it off. As for the reason, neither of them mentioned it.

Cleaning is very easy and there is really no shortage of water here.

After the two cleaned up, they did not change their clothes because they felt that there was water everywhere and their clothes would get wet easily.

Soon, the two of them followed the scattered footprints on the ground and discovered a stone door with a pull-tab on the ground.

And just like when we came down, there is another rope hanging down from the top. If you see what else to say, keep going down!

There is a corridor without water below. This corridor only goes in one direction, which is quite practical.

Continuing walking in this direction, a cave suddenly appeared in front of Xie Yu. Looking at the man-made waterways and corridors all around, Xie Yu was not used to it when a natural one suddenly appeared.

Putting this aside, Xie Yu only felt that the cave was quite big and he couldn't see the edge for a while. What should he do?

Xie Yu and Aning began to adjust the headlights above their heads at the same time, adjusting them to strong light mode.

I still couldn't see clearly, but I saw that the cave was indeed big enough.

It is a pity that neither Aning nor Xie Yu has a flare gun in their backpack, otherwise they would not be able to see clearly when firing an incendiary bomb.

At this time, Aning pointed below, Xie Yu lowered his head and looked down, and suddenly saw many light pillars deeper and deeper in the distance, which were fixed and unchanging.

Seeing these pillars of light, Xie Yu naturally knew that those were lampposts with flashlights, which meant that Third Master and the others should be below.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu saw a man-made stone ladder at his feet and said to himself: "Queen Mother of the West, you are such a good person!"

Then, the two of them turned their headlights back to low-power mode and walked down the stone stairs, hoping to meet the third master as soon as possible.

Not long after walking along the stone staircase, Aning suddenly pulled Xie Yu and asked Xie Yu to look at the scenes on both sides of the stone staircase.

Xie Yu was about to join Third Master, but he really didn't notice this.

Now when I looked at it, my expression changed. I saw that there were larger stone staircases on both sides of the stone staircase, and there was more than one "stone figurine" on each step.

Xie Yu looked back and forth a few times. There were stone figurines everywhere, all lined up and seated neatly.

This made Xie Yu have a question mark in his mind. He didn't know what the Queen Mother of the West meant.

Xie Yu secretly thought: "Could it be that the Queen Mother of the West imitated the First Emperor of Qin and held an exhibition of terracotta warriors and horses here? No, the Queen Mother of the West seems to be several thousand years older than the First Emperor of Qin!"
