Chapter 32 The Dark River
After the rats were full, they swam back to the shore and dispersed.
Chu Jian picked up the gravel on the ground and wanted to throw it out to drive away the big slow-moving rats. I stopped him. The rules of our family passed down from my grandfather's generation are that no one in the Hu family is allowed to hurt rats anyway.
These rats have no quarrel with humans, so just let them be.
The fat man scolded: Old Hu, you are calling this appeasement. It turns out that this water is where rats bathe and eat, but it disgusts me to death. I drank so much just now that I don’t know how much rat feces and rat fur I drank.
I said: Don't mention it, okay? The more I think about it, the more damn disgusting I feel. Let's not stay here and find another place.
None of us wanted to drink the water here, so we had to continue looking for the underground river deep into the cave. There was no other way here, there was only one passage, and the sound of running water came from the other end of the passage.
We walked along the road, and as we walked, the water vapor became stronger and the walls became more and more humid. On both sides of this passage, there were many manually dug stone chambers, all of which were equipped with iron bars and big locks. There were many torture instruments inside.
It seems that it was used to hold prisoners, but now it has become a rat nest, and the ground is black and full of rat droppings.
Walking hundreds of meters into the passage in the cave, I finally saw a fast-flowing underground river across the entrance of the cave. This is the Zidu Underwater River that has flowed under the sea of sand for thousands of years and has never dried up.
, the river is not only large in flow, but also very deep. It joins the Tarim River at its end.
However, one characteristic of the inland rivers in the Xinjiang desert is that no matter how large the flow of the river water is, it cannot exit the desert and enter the sea. These inland rivers and underground rivers in the desert will eventually be slowly swallowed by the desert.
There is another large cave on the other side of the river, connected by a black stone bridge in the middle. The bridge is also made of black stones from the Zagrama Mountains and flies over the turbulent current of the Zidu River.
In front of the cave at the other end of the Black Bridge, there is a thousand-pound gate, which is half-suspended with a large iron chain as thick as a human arm, and a huge stone is placed underneath. Looking from under the gate, the cave is unfathomable, and it is unknown what it is.
Professor Chen was surprised: The stone door of the underground palace was blown open before. Someone must have come in. The gate is so thick and it is at the deepest point on the third floor of the underground palace. It is very likely that there is Jingjue inside.
The Queen's resting place.
Countries in the ancient Western Regions often placed the tombs of royal members in the city, instead of building mausoleums in mountains and building tombs on the ridges like the Han people in the Central Plains. We have already learned this in the ancient city of Xiye before, and the ancient tomb of Prince Pu Mo
The tomb is built in the holy well of the old city, so it is not surprising that the professor believes that the ancient tomb of Queen Jingjue is under the underground palace.
But everyone felt that it was a little too smooth. An expedition team had visited this underground palace before, and this cave was not hidden. It must have been discovered by previous people. Could it be that the people who entered the Queen's mausoleum died inside? What is inside?
Could it be that the giant cave in the mural is also inside?
I'd like to ask Professor Chen's opinion whether to go in or not.
Professor Chen said without hesitation: We must go and take a look to see if Queen Jingjue’s ancient tomb has been stolen or damaged. If I don’t take a look, I will never know if these old bones are buried inside.
, it’s a well-deserved death. I’m so old and don’t care about anything, but you kids are still young. You don’t want to go. I can go alone.
She was loading new film into her camera and without raising her head, she said: Of course I will go too. She said it in an understatement, as if she had not thought about whether she wanted to enter the ancient tomb of Queen Jingjue at all, but only the first or the second one.
A question that goes in.
When I saw that this was the case, I had to go in. If something happened to the two of them, I would not feel at ease, so I asked the fat man to stay and take care of the three students.
The fat man was reluctant when he heard it: Why do I have to do all the work of the nursery aunt? If you three go in, I don't worry. If you go, I will go with you, otherwise none of us will go in. Don't worry, there is some gold and silver in there.
I won't take any of the treasure.
When Chu Jiansa Di Peng and others heard that they would not be taken in, they hurriedly begged and wanted to go in anyway. This opportunity was too rare. They had traveled thousands of miles through the black desert and endured many hardships before arriving at the ancient city of Jingjue. Why?
Could you please take a look at this most important Queen's Mausoleum? And if anything happens, I can help you.
Now everyone has to go, what should I do if the weak Ye Yixin is left, awake and confused for a while? Ye Yixin added some cold salt water, now she has some strength, and said to everyone: You must not leave me alone.
I am here, my health is fine, and I will go in with everyone.
I saw how troublesome this was. No matter how capable the fat man and I were, we couldn't take care of five people, not to mention that they were all old, weak, women, and Confucian people. Only the big man Chu Jian could help us.
I said to everyone: How about this? I will go in alone first and take a look. If there is no danger inside, we can go in together. If I don’t come out after four or five hours, don’t wait for me.
Don't enter this ancient tomb again and get out of here as soon as possible.
The fat man said: No, we should go together so that we can take care of him.
I patted the fat man on the shoulder: I can do it alone. My life is fine. If something happens to me, you have to get everyone there safely.
He said: Okay, don't sound so tragic, I'll go with you.
I thought I heard it wrong: Come with me and stop joking. If there is any danger, I can easily escape by myself. If you go with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you.
Said: It's not clear who will take care of whom. Anyway, we can't let you venture into the Queen's tomb alone. As she said that, she took the sports rifle from Chu Jian's hand, pulled the bolt with a clatter, and saw that the bullet was
When it was full, she pushed the bolt of the gun and put the bullet into the chamber. She saw me sticking out my tongue secretly at this moment. I was also an expert in using guns. I really didn't notice it before.
The two of us were busy packing up the application equipment, and the fat man quietly said to me: Hey, Lao Hu, I think the way she looks at you lately is not quite right. Does she have some interest in you? That’s when she started to stick to you.
I laughed and scolded: I'm looking at you because you have a bad look. I didn't even notice it, but you saw that I'm not interested in her. We don't dare to want a woman who is too strong. Besides, our old man wants to look at me.
If I take an American girl back, she will cut me into pieces.
The fat man said: It's good that you have this consciousness. I'm really afraid that you will find a wife like this. Someone like her is so awesome that no one will look down on her because she has a lot of money. How did you say that before?
The squeaking of small leather shoes and the stinking bourgeois ideology. You must withstand the offensive of sugar-coated bullets.
I loaded the assault rifle I picked up from the tomb robber Yangluo in the valley with bullets, carried the explosives and engineer shovel on my back, replaced the flashlight with a new spare battery, and put the gold-touching charm made of a pangolin claw in my hand.
After holding it for a while: I beg the Patriarch to bless me.
By this time, she had finished cleaning up, and she asked me if I could see the internal structure of the tomb. I said: I have never heard of this kind of tomb under the city. If I were asked to see the structure of a tomb from the outside, I would have to check the situation by looking for the ground veins.
I used these Feng Shui techniques to determine the age and internal structure of the ancient tomb, including identifying the water source, measuring the location, determining the location and depth, etc. at Mixing Peak. However, this tomb is under the city. This is the first time I have seen such an ancient tomb. There is a stone in front of the tomb door.
There is water on the bridge, and it doesn’t follow the theory of Feng Shui. I really can’t tell what the secret is in the tomb. We must be careful after entering, especially be careful not to touch any mechanism. The most important thing to watch out for is the kind with black hair on the head.
Strange snakes with big eyes, they move extremely fast and are difficult to dodge.
I nodded and walked across the stone bridge first, with me following closely behind. Under the watch of the other five people, we crossed the black stone bridge one after another and got under the thousand-jin gate. Book alliance
