Chapter 33 Dark River
The rats were full of food and 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 rats who walked slowly. I stopped him. The rules passed down by our family from my grandfather's generation are not allowed to hurt mice. Anyway, these mice are not in conflict with others, so I just let them go.
The fat man cursed: "Old Hu, you ******* This is called tolerating and raising rape. It turns out that this water is where the mice take a bath and eat, but he is so disgusting that I am so disgusted. I don't know how much rat feces and urinate rat hair after drinking it."
I said, "Don't mention it's OK, the more you think about it, the more you feel fucking disgusting. Let's not stay here, change somewhere."
No one wanted to drink the water here, so we had to continue looking for the underground river in the depths of the cave. There was no other way here, there was only one passage, and the sound of flowing water came from the other end of the passage.
We walked along the way, and the more we walked, the more water became, the more wet the walls became. There were many artificial stone chambers on both sides of this passage, all of which were equipped with iron fences and large locks. There were many torture instruments inside. It seemed to be used to imprison prisoners. Now they have become rat nests, and the ground is covered with rat feces.
After walking hundreds of meters into the passage in the cave, I finally saw a turbulent river crossing the entrance of the cave. This is the Du Dark River, which has been flowing under the sand sea for thousands of years and has never dried up. The river not only has a large flow, but also has a deep flow, and it merges with the Tarim River at its end.
However, the inland rivers in the Xinjiang desert have one characteristic, that is, no matter how large the river flows, they cannot leave the desert and enter the sea. The inland rivers and underground rivers in these deserts will eventually be slowly swallowed by the desert.
There is another big cave on the other side of the river, with a black stone bridge connected in the middle. The bridge body is also made of black stones from Mount Zagrama, flying over the surging water 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 hung with a large iron chain as thick as a human arm, and a huge stone is also placed under it. Looking at the hole from under the gate, it is unfathomable and I don’t know what it is.
Professor Chen was surprised: "I found out that the stone gate of the underground palace was blown up by someone before. I guess someone had come in. The gate is so thick that it is at the deepest part of the third floor of the underground palace. It is very likely that this is the place where Queen Jingjue's sleep is long."
In ancient Western Regions, the tombs of royal members were often set up in the city, rather than building mountains into tombs and building tombs along the ridges like the Han people in the Central Plains. We have experienced this in Xiye Ancient City before. The ancient tomb of Prince Pu Mo was built in the holy well in the old city. Therefore, the professor believes that Queen Jingjue’s tomb is under the underground palace. This is not surprising.
But everyone felt that it was a bit too smooth. An expedition team had visited this underground palace before, and the cave was not hidden. It must have been discovered by previous generations. Could it be that the people who entered the Queen's Tomb all died inside? What exactly is there? Is the giant cave in the mural also inside?
I asked Professor Chen for advice on what he meant, or not to go in?
Professor Chen said without hesitation: "Enter! I must go and see if Queen Jingjue's ancient tomb has been stolen and destroyed. If I don't take a look at it, I will never be able to see it. If this old bone is buried inside, it will be considered a place to die. I am so old that I don't care about anything, but you children are still young, don't go, I just need to go by myself."
Shirley Yang was loading new film for her camera, without even raising her head, saying, "I will go too." She said lightly, as if she had never thought about whether she would enter Queen Jingjue's tomb, but it was just the first or second question to enter.
When I saw that this was the case, I had to go in. If there was any mistake between the two of them, I would feel at ease, so I let the fat man stay and take care of the three students.
The fat man was reluctant to hear this: "Why is the job of the nursery aunt belonging to me? When you three come in, I'm not relieved. I want to go with you, or we don't want to go in. Don't worry, I won't take any gold, silver and treasures there."
When Chu Jiansat Dipeng and others heard that they didn't take them in, they hurriedly begged and wanted to go in and take a look no matter what. This opportunity was so rare. They traveled thousands of miles across the Black Desert and endured a lot of hardships to come to Jingjue Ancient City. How could they not look at the most important queen tomb? And if there is anything, they can help everyone.
Everyone is going to go here, and what should I do if Ye Yixin, who is weak and awake for a while, is confused? Ye Yixin replenished some cold salt water, and at this moment he had some strength and said to everyone: "Don't leave me alone here. I have no health problems. I will go in with everyone."
When I saw this, I was in trouble. No matter how capable the fat man and I were, we could not take care of the five people. Besides, there were only some old, weak women and scholars, and only the big Chu Jian could help us.
I said to everyone, "Why don't you do this? I'll go in alone first. If there is no danger inside, let's go in together. If I don't come out for more than four or five hours, don't wait for me. Don't enter this ancient tomb again and leave here quickly."
The fat man said, "No, we have to go together, so we can take care of him."
I patted the fat man on the shoulder: "I'm fine alone, I'm lucky. If I have a few things, you have to take everyone out safely."
Shirley Yang said: "Okay, don't be so tragic, I'll go with you."
I thought I heard it wrong: "You go with me? Don't joke. If there is any danger, I can easily get out by myself. If you follow me, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
Shirley Yang said: "I can't say who takes care of whom. Anyway, you can't let you go into the queen's tomb alone to take risks." As she said that, she took the sports rifle in Chu Jian's hand and pulled the bolt away with a loud bang. Seeing that the bullet was full, she pushed the bolt and pushed the bullet onto the bolt. She suddenly saw that I stuck out my tongue secretly. It turned out that she was an expert in using guns. She really didn't see it before.
We were both busy packing the equipment for the application. The fat man whispered to me: "Oh Lao Hu, I think the look she looked at you recently wasn't right. Is it a little interesting to you? It's just that I started to stick to it wherever I go?"
I laughed and scolded: "I think your damn look is bad. I didn't even see it, you can see it? I'm not interested in her. We dare not ask for a woman who is too strong. Besides, our old man wants to see me take an American girl back, so he can't get me out of here."
The fat man said: "It's good that you have this awareness. I'm really afraid that you will find a wife like this. People like her are so awesome to rely on two bad money, no one looks down on them. *******, what did you say before? Little leather shoes are loud and bourgeois stinking. You must withstand the attack of sugar-coated cannonballs."
I filled the assault rifle picked up by the tomb robber Yang Luo in the valley, carried the zha medicine and the engineer shovel on my body, replaced the flashlight with a new spare battery, and put the gold-touching talisman made of pangolin claws in my hand for a while: "I beg the ancestor to bless you."
At this time, Shirley Yang also finished cleaning up. She asked me if I could see the internal structure of the tomb. I said, "I have never heard of this kind of tomb in the city. If I were to see the structure of a tomb from the outside, I must use these Feng Shui techniques to determine the age and internal structure of the tomb through steps such as searching the earth veins, observing the situation, finding the star peaks, identifying the water source, measuring the direction, determining the depth and depth, etc., etc. to use these Feng Shui techniques to determine the age and internal structure of the tomb. However, this tomb is under the city. This is the first time I have seen such an ancient tomb. There are bridges and water in front of the tomb gate, which are not in line with Feng Shui theory. I really can't see any name in the tomb. After we enter, we must be careful, especially not to trigger any mechanism. In addition, the most important thing to beware of is the strange snake with black eyes on the head. They move very quickly and are difficult to dodge."
