There seemed to be a stone chamber in front of me. I don’t know what its purpose was. It didn’t look like a tomb. I whispered, asking everyone to be careful, but at this moment...

"Woooooooooo..." A whimpering cry, extremely sad, faintly passed into my ears. I listened carefully, but I couldn't hear anything. I couldn't help but be stunned. The sound seemed to be

Woman, crying so sadly.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" I said as I stepped into the stone room, took out the flashlight, turned it on and took pictures everywhere.

The three people behind me also followed, four pairs of bright flashlights scanning around the underground stone room that had been dark for thousands of years, looking for the secret history of civilization thousands of years ago.

The girl looked around and asked me what I just said. I felt strange in my heart. The girl didn't seem sad at all. Could it be that the whimpering sound I heard just now was not her? But there was no one else in the tomb except us.

There are three grown men, and she is the only woman. If not her, who else could be there?

Could it be that I don’t dare to think about it? Maybe it’s our hallucination. People will have some hallucinations when they are in an environment that is too silent. When I was thinking about this, I was busy shining my flashlight around. To be honest, it didn’t look like that.

A tomb chamber, it looks a bit like a place for living people to live. The whole stone chamber is astonishingly made. There are several huge stone pillars in the middle to support the entire stone chamber. Other than that, there is nothing else in the entire stone chamber.

I roughly estimated that this stone chamber covers an area of ​​more than 400 square meters, and it is at least 20 meters from our side to that side. Therefore, I cannot clearly see the specific scene on the entire wall. I and I

The young masters are all ancient tomb merchants. Although I don't want to admit anything, the profit-seeking nature of the merchants made me a little depressed in this stone room, because this stone room is so clean, so clean that there is nothing that can be taken away.

Huang Zhihua, who entered the ancient tomb for the first time, was obviously a little disappointed. Human beings have a mysterious curiosity about unknown things. He was thinking about entering the ancient tomb to hunt for novelties, and at the same time he was thinking about solving the case. For him - being able to do so in this ancient tomb

Finding some strange things in tombs is also one of the joys of life.

Shuangyou girl, at this moment, her eyes were actually shining. Under the bright light of the flashlight, her originally innocent eyes shot out with a fanatical light.

"Girl, what did you find?" I saw the girl's expression was different and asked quickly. Among the four of us, Yatou is the only one who studies archeology. In this situation, she has the most say. "Brother Xu

, It’s so amazing, so beautiful,” the girl said, reaching out to touch the nearest pillar.

I have to say that this stone pillar is about ** meters high and about one meter in diameter. It is very majestic and huge, giving people a majestic feeling. When I stand under such a pillar, I can't help but feel myself.

It's very small. What makes me even more amazed is that this pillar is carved with complicated patterns and inscriptions. Faintly, I can tell that these patterns seem to be birds——

All kinds of birds were wrapped around the stone pillars, but none of them were recognizable to me. There were also some mosquitoes among the patterns. I recognized them. These mosquitoes were the oldest birds. They knew me.

I didn't recognize it. "Brother Xu! Come and take a look!" The girl had already turned around the pillar and reached the other side, urging me to go over. I hurriedly turned around and followed the girl's fingers to look at the pillar. They were also a pair of birds.

Birds have two pairs of bird heads, but each has a pair of wings. The two pairs of birds are attached to each other, exchanging and combing their feathers.

Many ancient paintings and sculptures use pictograms and fantasy descriptions. I instinctively thought that this pair was just from the great imagination of the ancient working people. It is not surprising at all. After all, we are now in an unknown ancient tomb. These

The pillars are all made of stone, and they all adopt the technique of hollow carving. Not only the images are lifelike, but also very three-dimensional. I never knew that there was such a complicated stone carving process in the Western Zhou Dynasty. This is simply a great achievement that subverts the entire archaeological world.

now.

But when encountering antique dealers like me and the young master, when we see something like this, our only thought is - these stone pillars are national treasures and priceless. Unfortunately, they cannot be moved out and can only be buried underground forever. "This is

Birds of a feather!” the girl whispered.

What? I was stunned. Just as I was thinking about it, the girl looked at the pair of beautifully carved strange birds, pointed at me and said. I looked up and saw that the two pairs of phoenixes were not like phoenixes, and the peacocks were not like peacocks.

It’s a weird bird, it’s only half a century old, don’t talk nonsense, the legendary bird is a sacred bird, how can it be so ugly? I said how ugly this bird looks, it is definitely not unreasonable. Due to the exquisite stone carving craftsmanship, the carvings of these birds,

They are all very vivid and expressive. Compared with other birds on the stone pillars, this pair of so-called winged birds is similar to ordinary pheasants, especially the body is huge, even a little bloated, which is not in line with today's aesthetics.

.

Of course, maybe the girl is right, this is the legendary flying bird. Think about it, the statues of Tathagata Buddha enshrined in various temples today, if they turn into real people and walk down, they are definitely ugly monsters with fat heads and intestines. So, the ancients'

Aesthetics is very perverted. When my girl and I were studying the bird, I heard the young master and Huang Zhihua's exclamations from next to me. I was startled and turned around to look. I saw the young master holding up a flashlight and shining it on the people next to him.

A big stone pillar, and Huang Zhihua were having a heated discussion about something. The girl and I walked over, and as we walked, I started to look around. The thirteen big spiders in the huge stone chamber seemed to have no regularity at first glance, but

After taking a closer look, I found that the stone pillar in the middle was obviously thicker and larger than the ones on both sides. Using the stone pillar in the middle as the boundary, the stone chamber was divided into two sides, with six large stone pillars on each side.

Now, Huang Zhihua and the young master were discussing something on the stone pillar in the middle. "Old Xu, you came just in time. Look - is this thing a unicorn or a dragon?" The young master saw me and was busy pulling me over to comment. I was dumbfounded.

I was stunned. Could it be that these two people were arguing about the carvings on the stone pillar? It was really not ordinary boring, but I still followed the young master's gesture and looked over. Because this stone pillar is very large, the diameter of the cylinder is estimated to be

It's two meters away, so the carvings on it are relatively complicated.

But it’s strange. I glanced at the few stone pillars just now. Except for the spider that the girl was looking at, the other stone pillars are all different birds and animals, flowers, birds, insects, and fish. It can be said that every stone pillar here is on them. What is carved is the sky, ocean, mountains and rivers, and everything on the continent.

And on this big stone pillar, there is only an elegant girl carved on it, riding on a monster that looks like a unicorn and a dragon. It's okay to say that thing is a dragon, and it's okay to say it's a unicorn. Don't worry. One thing is that the ancient Chinese totems, whether they are unicorns or dragons, have no wings, but this monster has two big wings. I looked at the stone carving carefully. It should be wings, not ugly. scales. "Lao Xu, what are you talking about?" The young master asked me again.

[This is nothing.] I said coldly, my eyes falling on the woman sitting on the monster again. This woman should be very young, she should only look about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she is a stone sculpture, her expression is elegant. Beautiful, yet lifelike and very realistic.

So beautiful - the girl praised it out loud. I nodded, both the stone carvings and the characters on the stone carvings are exquisite. If this was not an ancient tomb, the only stone carvings would make many people linger.

Huang Zhihua, who had been silent for the whole time, gently patted my shoulder and said in a low voice: "Old Xu, do you think the owner of this tomb is this girl?"

Although I also doubt it, in an era like the Western Zhou Dynasty, male dominance should be supreme. A woman, if she was a queen, should be buried with the emperor. Other women should not have tombs of this size and status. The size of the tomb should be It's an imperial system. Not even a princess can do it.

What makes me even more confused is - I really can't tell what dynasty this stone carving is from. Anyway, it seems to be different from my usual understanding, but what exactly is different, I can't tell.

Huang Zhihua said: "It's really strange. Ancient people didn't have cranes. How did they transport these stone pillars?"

I was stunned and finally understood the source of the problem - yes, the ancients did not have modern mechanical equipment. How were these stone pillars transported here, and how did they build such a huge underground palace underneath? This is a stone carving process, even if it uses large Large-scale manual carving cannot be completed overnight. If the owner of the tomb is the little girl on the stone carving, doesn't it mean that she has been preparing for the underground palace after her death since she was born?

woo woo woo woo……

Suddenly, I clearly heard a scream in my ears, floating in the empty stone room. It was cold and biting, and it was really sad. I shivered without knowing it, and there was a burning patch on my back, as if there was liquid leaking out. out.

[What is the sound?] Huang Zhihua asked me in surprise.

I shook my head. When I first entered the stone chamber, I heard a very strange cry. Now that I heard it again, I felt chills in my heart. This time, not only Huang Zhihua and I, but also the girl and the young master turned their heads at the same time. Come, look at us. There was a soft bang, and I clearly heard a bullet whizzing past me. I was startled, and I turned around hurriedly, just in time to see Huang Zhihua standing behind me, his face pale, and he even His lips were trembling, he was holding a May 4th pistol in his hand, but his arms were trembling. He had long lost the calmness and calmness that a soldier should have.

I followed his gaze and looked over. At this glance, I couldn't help but be scared out of my mind - what was that? Just on the big stone pillar in the middle, there was a faint green shadow floating in the air. The green shadow was The speed was very fast. Just in the blink of an eye, it came down the stone pillar and flew behind the girl silently...

I was shocked. I thought about it, but without thinking, I pulled out the ancient bronze sword from behind and stabbed the girl hard.

The young master and the girl were both facing us, not realizing the danger behind them. Seeing me drawing my sword and stabbing him, they hurriedly pulled the girl over and exclaimed: "Old Xu, why are you crazy..."

Fortunately, with such a pull, the green ghost jumped into the air, and my ancient bronze sword happened to meet it. The girl and the young master also turned around, just in time to see the green ghost, and were shocked at the same time.

Huang Zhihua seemed to have recovered after the initial shock, and stood in front of the young master and the girl bravely. I thrust out the sword and knew that I had done something stupid. The green ghost was erratic and I didn't know what it was, but it was But it was astonishingly fast. In just such an instant, it had already dodged away and disappeared from my front.

"What...what is this?" the young master asked stammering.

I shook my head silently, but I felt more and more irritable and restless in my heart. This thing is so strange. At first glance, it looks a bit like a human, but it is also very erratic. Its body is about the size of a four or five-year-old child. Could it be that Say...that thing in the legend actually exists?

If that's true, then this tomb is probably extremely complicated. Thinking of this, I almost didn't think about it, grabbed the girl and shouted: "Let's go!" As I said this, I didn't care about the different eyes of the two men behind me. I grabbed the girl and ran towards the exit. My only thought now is - it's better for me to move bricks in Xinjiang than to break into this tomb. It's important to leave as soon as possible. Damn all treasures and curses.

But - I just took a few steps, my eyes fell on the door that I came in, and my whole body suddenly became cold. It felt like it was a cold winter, and someone poured a bucket of ice water over my head, which made me feel cold from head to heels.

The young master and Huang Zhihua also followed behind me, and now they were also pale and stunned.

"How could... be like this?" Huang Zhihua stammered.

The entrance to the stone chamber, which was originally uncovered by a door, is now completely sealed - not even the shadow of the door can be seen. I remember clearly where the stone door we entered should be, but now, it is exactly the same as the surrounding walls, and there is no trace of it at all. There was an empty door. I took the flashlight from Yatai's hand and looked around. I couldn't see the stone wall on the opposite side clearly, but there must be no way out... In an instant, this place became a closed space. .

"What should I do?" the young master asked me anxiously.

What should I do? What should I do? I glared at the young master. He is a pig and can't think for himself. Now the only way is to find a way out. Since the entrance door has been sealed, then—— If we don't want to become nourishment for other things, we must leave as soon as possible.

The girl was very scared and grabbed my clothes with a pair of small hands. I looked around and suddenly thought of the winged bird that the girl pointed out to me just now. By the way - the ancients were most particular about symmetry. Since there is a door here, there should be a door on the opposite side. There are also portals.

Thinking of this, I didn't even think about it. I grabbed the girl and ran to the opposite side. But at this moment, I heard a whimpering cry from behind. It was so desolate that I couldn't help but look back.

Suddenly, a faint green shadow covered my face like smoke. There was a rotten smell in my nose, and I almost spit it out on the spot. I swung the ancient bronze sword in my hand directly. After passing by, it felt like I had bumped into something——

Wuwu...a strange and desolate cry sounded sharply in my ears, piercing into the depths of my mind. I couldn't help but pause, and I couldn't help but relax my hands, and suddenly the ball The miserable green smoke rushed towards me quickly...

But I still knew in my heart that if I was hit by this miserable green smoke, I'm afraid I would be in trouble.

At this moment, the girl's frightened scream came to my ears, as if a demonic sound penetrated my brain. The shrill cry didn't seem to be scary anymore. In my panic, I instinctively swung my sword to slash at the green ghost.

With a scream... my eyes lit up, and the miserable green smoke that originally shrouded me finally disappeared...

I gasped for air. In less than a minute, my clothes were almost soaked with sweat. I was so nervous just now. One of my hands tightly grabbed the girl's hand, and the other One hand was holding the ancient bronze sword. I was so nervous that my knuckles turned pale.

"Lao Xu, are you okay?" the young master asked hurriedly.

"Let's go!" I didn't care what I said. The green ghost just hid and never disappeared. This seemingly ordinary and gorgeous tomb was really terrifying.

Ohh Ohh ohh……

Just as I pulled the girl and walked quickly towards the opposite stone wall, the sad cry sounded again.

"What the hell, is this thing pretending to be a ghost?" Huang Zhihua roared angrily, raised his gun and looked up at the source of the sound. However, the huge stone room was empty, except for the thirteen large stone pillars, there was nothing.

Come on, leave him alone! I said hurriedly, and as I said so, I was about to take the girl and run away, but at this moment, the girl actually grabbed my hand with her backhand and bit my hand hard...

Ah... I was unprepared and was bitten by one. I screamed out in pain. Out of instinct, I threw my hand away, shook off one, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

After the girl was thrown away, she didn't even look at me. She turned around and ran towards the largest stone pillar...

No, I felt something was wrong, so I hurriedly chased after her, but I was still a step too slow. There was only a gap of two meters. We watched helplessly as the girl hugged the stone pillar in a weird posture.

Boom! There was a loud noise, and my mind seemed to be struck by lightning. The girl's current posture... is really weird, but this is not the first time I have seen this look. When Shan Jun died, he was struck by something from the water. He was dragged up, in this posture, as if he was fighting with someone, but it turned out... he was holding something?

What on earth is going on? The young master and I stood less than one meter away from each other, looking at each other. We were speechless for a moment, and we were extremely frightened... I even thought about swimming three long and two short in one day. , what can I do?

My heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of my mouth, but I knew better that I could never let the girl do this.

"Mr. Huang..." I turned around to look for Huang Zhihua, but as soon as I turned around, the person standing behind me was not Huang Zhihua, but a green shadow. I even clearly saw a ferocious look on its face. The smile was just like Wang Quansheng's appearance after his death.

Ah... I was frightened, angry, and anxious. I couldn't think too much, and instinctively struck the head with the ancient bronze sword in my hand.

"Old Xu, you are crazy..." Huang Zhihua screamed, and at the same time he dodged my sword light with a short stature. Even so, he still fell heavily to the ground. If he hadn't been a soldier, he would have practiced If you don't fight, you will be killed by my sword on the spot.

"Why is it you?" I was also confused. What I saw just now was the green ghost.
To be continued...
