Chapter 2118 Ghost Cave

After Zhao Shucheng and others crossed the stone bridge, they saw the Qianjin Gate they had discovered before.

Hu Bayi shined his flashlight on the stone door, looked at it and said, "Look, there are traces of explosives here. There are also traces of crowbars here."

Shirley Yang said: "Do you think this has anything to do with the owner of that notebook?"

"It's very possible. Judging from the extent of the damage and the traces, it must have been decades at least. And it may not have been a group of people. Look at this stone gate. It's so thick and it's so deep underground. If I hadn't guessed That’s right, Queen Jingjue’s tomb should be down here.”

"So, this is our ultimate goal?"

Hu Bayi said hesitantly: "I'm just worried that everything is going too smoothly. Since more than one wave of people have come, but there is no record, this is too strange."

"I understand your worries, but no matter what, we have to go in and take a look."

After everyone discussed it, they finally decided to go in and check it out.

Only Zhao Shucheng remained silent. In fact, he discovered that the place had indeed been blown up by explosives. He also guessed that the reason why everyone entered the illusion was because the stone door was opened.

The tomb of Queen Jingjue is guarded by corpse-scented konjac, and the smell it emits can make people enter a fantasy world. Originally, the sealing of the tomb was fine, but as the stone door opened, the aroma gradually spread to the entire underground palace, and those who entered the passage unconsciously entered the illusion.

The group passed the stone gate and entered the tomb. After walking for a while, they found that they seemed to have reached the end and there was no road ahead. A broken bridge appeared in front, and there seemed to be an abyss underneath.

Not willing to stop there, Shirley Yang threw a flare directly below, only to discover that the abyss was actually a cliff with thousands of gold and silver treasures hidden inside.

Hu Bayi said in shock: "Miss Yang, have you seen the gold and silver treasures below?" '

"I saw it, didn't you see it?"

"I saw it, but I just didn't think it was real."

Zhao Shucheng took a look at Hu Bayi and had to say that Hu Bayi's intuition was really accurate. What Zhao Shucheng saw below was not gold and silver jewelry, but corpses. Of course, there are some gold and silver treasures among them, but they are all on or around these corpses, and the quantity is far from shocking Zhao Shucheng.

Through these bones, Zhao Shucheng knew from the remaining clothes on their bodies that these were not a group of people, or people from the same era. Some of the clothes were almost rotten and looked to be thousands of years old, very similar to the clothes on the murals seen in the tomb of Prince Gumo.

Some of the clothes were very similar to the clothes of the archaeological team previously found in the nine-story demon tower of Kunlun Glacier. They should be the corpses of Shirley Yang's father's expedition team. There are also some mixed in, which should be the corpses of tomb robbers who came here within a thousand years.

Since Fatty Wang's jade pendant has been passed down for thousands of years, how could it be possible that only Zhao Shucheng and his group came here. The first group of people to enter here should be the people from the Western Regions who resisted the rule of the Kingdom of Jingjue after the death of Queen Jingjue. They broke into the place and tried to destroy the body of Queen Jingjue. But after seeing the treasures that Queen Jingjue had plundered, she was confused by the smell of corpse-scented konjac, and a big battle broke out here, resulting in numerous casualties.

A small number of people who were not deeply affected by the illusion, because those who killed each other, felt that this place was cursed. In order to prevent the cursed people from catching up, they destroyed the stone bridge.

The people who came here later also fell into the hallucination. Because of the influence of the hallucination, they saw the gold mountains and silver sea below, so they fought with each other again. Only the person wearing the jade pendant escaped by chance.

The other members of the archaeological team didn't think there was anything wrong. They came down one by one and looked at the gold and silver jewelry around them. Of course, they studied it more from an archaeological perspective.

Only the fat man couldn't resist such temptation. When he was outside, he saw a gold coin in the water. If people from the archaeological team weren't around, I'm afraid they would have gone into the water to fish it out.

Now that I saw so many gold and silver treasures, I suddenly felt itchy. When others were not paying attention, I took a necklace and stuffed it into my pocket.

Professor Chen looked at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Xiao Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Kaixuan took it out of his pocket awkwardly and said, "Hey, what's going on? I didn't want to take it."

"Shut up, you, you turned a deaf ear to what I said. Don't move things here!" Hu Bayi reprimanded Wang Kaixuan with some embarrassment.

"I didn't think about it. I don't know how this thing got into my hands."

"Xiao Wang, everything here is a cultural relic and cannot be kept privately. Put it back!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Wang Kaixuan. He was the only one who noticed that when Wang Kaixuan was taking pictures just now, he unconsciously held a bunch of things and stuffed them into his pocket. However, these are not real gold and silver jewelry, but a string of snake bones, which should be the bones of Jingjian Ahan who died here.

The illusion here is really powerful, making other people regard everything here as gold, silver and jewelry, including bones, slag and stones, and they all become priceless treasures in their eyes. No, Professor Chen had previously held a person's head as a rare treasure and looked at it carefully.

The group of people continued walking forward, passed through a dark and dark tomb passage, and then stood in front of a broken wall.

Others thought that this time was the same as last time, because of the dark environment inside, which made people feel like there was an unfathomable abyss ahead. Shirley Yang took a fireworks stick and threw it down to see how deep it was, but she didn't expect that the fluorescent stick dropped for a long time until no light could be seen, but it hadn't reached the point yet, and no heavy objects were heard. The sound of landing.

The others immediately stepped back in fear, fearing that they would accidentally fall into the bottomless abyss.

"This should be the holy place in Jingjue culture, the bottomless ghost cave." Professor Chen said with some emotion.

"The Ghost Cave Clan, that's probably why they got their name." Sa Di Peng said somewhat mysteriously.

Hu Bayi felt a little surprised and asked: "What ghost cave? What are you talking about? What do you mean?"

Professor Chen said: "In the story Xiao Zhao told before, the Evil Luohai tribe migrated to their ancestral land, Ghost Cave, and changed their name to the Ghost Cave tribe. This is the Ghost Cave. Listen, does the sound sound like a ghost crying? It’s like a bottomless abyss.”

"Where does this ghost cave connect to? How deep is it?"

"No one knows this. I have been studying it for most of my life and thought that these wonderful legends were just legends. But I didn't expect to see such a huge cave today." Professor Chen said excitedly.

Zhao Shucheng heard everyone's conversation and understood that although Sa Di Peng had left the tomb passage and returned to the ground long ago, in the eyes of everyone, he was actually still with them, and even the rest of the archaeological team followed them for some reason.

Professor Chen said excitedly that this should be the entity connecting the imaginary number space. If you fall from here, you won't die. Instead, you will disappear and enter another space. Of course, there is no way to come back.

Wang Kaixuan saw a group of people still standing by the mountain wall chatting. He lay down and looked under the ghost cave. He suddenly sat on the ground with weak legs and said, "It's really killing me. You guys have been standing there talking for a long time, and you just Not scared at all?"

Hu Bayi saw other people looking at Wang Kaixuan and said, "The fat man is afraid of heights. He has been like this since he was a child." ' But Shirley Yang seemed to have made a new discovery. She raised her head and took a flashlight to shine, and said: "Lao Hu, hold me."

"What?"

"I feel like there's something up there, let me take a look."

When Hu Bayi took Shirley Yang's hand and leaned out of the mountain wall to look up, Zhao Shucheng frowned and looked at the top of the mountain wall.

Shirley Yang stared at the top with all her concentration, without blinking, and said, "There is something up there."

The fat man said nonchalantly: "Whatever he has, let's just go up and have a look. There is a mountain trail here, you can go up it."

After hearing this, everyone else looked at Wang Kaixuan in surprise and asked, "Where is the road?"

"It's right here. You all look up and down. Don't you know if you can take a look at the side?" Wang Kaixuan pointed to the stairs he found with some pride.

Everyone else was shocked that there was actually a winding mountain road here. Only Zhao Shucheng knew that if Fatty hadn't opened his mouth, others would never have seen it, and they would have even had to think of other ways to get up there.

The group of people carefully clung to the mountain wall, stepped on the narrow path, and walked up step by step. The sound of ghosts crying kept coming from the ears, which made people feel a little scared.

Wang Kaixuan was afraid of heights, so if he wanted to walk on such a mountain wall, he could only squat down and carefully hold on to the mountain wall while climbing.

After the group of people stopped, Wang Kaixuan saw the direction everyone was looking at and asked, "Why is there a big piece of wood above this?" '

"This should be the Kunlun sacred tree."

"What is it, the Kunlun Sacred Tree, why haven't I heard of it?" Wang Kaixuan then asked.

Hu Bayi said: "My grandfather once said that the best material for coffins is the tree trunk of gloomy wood. In fact, there is also a top-quality sacred wood, Kunlun sacred wood. Even if it is only a section, without the soil and sunshine, It still won't dry up. Although it no longer grows, it still maintains its original appearance. If the body is stored in the Kunlun Sacred Tree, it can be immortal for thousands of years. Ancient books say that this tree is as old as Kunlun Mountain. At that time, Qin Shihuang wanted to find Kunlun. The sacred tree serves as a coffin.”

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Old Hu is right about the Kunlun Sacred Tree. The earliest record is the Kunlun Immortal Tree in the Classic of Mountains and Seas." The book states that if you eat the elixir refined from the immortal tree, you can get the elixir of immortality, and the Queen Mother of the West is in Kunlun Mountain, so the immortal tree is in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, and many ancient gods, such as Fuxi, Houyi, etc., They all once went to Kunlun Mountain to obtain the elixir of death. '

"Unfortunately, the elixir of death only exists in legends. On the contrary, the immortal tree is relatively easier to find, so many emperors hope to use the wood of the immortal tree to build coffins. Unfortunately, very few people can find it."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the coffin above and said: "The reason why Queen Jingjue has such a coffin is because the Evil Luohai tribe was once the overlord of Kunlun Mountain, so she was able to find the Kunlun sacred tree. Unfortunately, since then, The Kunlun Sacred Tree can only be discovered in this section.”

After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan looked at the Kunlun Sacred Tree not far away and said, "Does that mean this is the most valuable treasure here?"

"Yes, but we can't take it out, so just think about it."

Shirley Yang looked at the coffin not far away, and didn't know what she thought of. She was a little dazed for a moment, and then walked forward alone.

Seeing Shirley Yang like this, Hu Bayi followed him worriedly, telling others to slow down.

Zhao Shucheng saw everyone walking forward, but the path under their feet was real, so he didn't stop them. But just in case, I asked others to connect them with climbing ropes before continuing to move forward.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard someone screaming, but I saw that Professor Chen had already stepped out of the mountain wall and was about to fall down the next moment.

"You should keep an eye on it."

Professor Chen said embarrassedly: "I was just looking up and didn't pay attention to my feet. If Xiao Zhao hadn't asked us to use climbing ropes to connect with each other, I would have really fallen."

"What do you see above?"

Wang Kaixuan took a look at it and said, "This looks like a big taro. Do you think Queen Jingjue was buried here as a seed?"

After hearing this, Tiger glanced at the fat man speechlessly. No serious person would have such an idea. Only the fat man could say such things unexpectedly.

Professor Chen said: "Corpse-scented Konjac! I didn't expect such a legendary existence to exist here. This kind of thing really does exist in the world."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Professor Chen and said, "Professor Chen, this corpse-scented konjac should emit a smell, right? Why don't we smell anything?" '

Zhao Shucheng didn't really want Professor Chen to say anything, he just wanted to see if these people still had normal thinking and could express the knowledge in their memories after falling into the illusion.

Professor Chen didn't think too much and said, "Of course, corpse-scented konjac is said to be very dangerous when it blooms." Growing in ancient tombs, it not only protects the corpse from decay, but also makes the corpse emit fragrance, which is extremely precious. '

Wang Kaixuan said: "Old Hu, you said that we are all here and we must go up and take a look." '

Zhao Shucheng said: "Yes, we have come here, we can't just go back like this, and they are not willing to let us leave like this."

Hu Bayi asked in surprise: "What did you say?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Nothing, let's go!"

As he said this, Zhao Shucheng walked forward first, but on the way, he took an engineering shovel from time to time and knocked on the mountain wall, as if he was looking for something.

"Mr. Zhao, you don't think that the Kunlun sacred tree and the corpse-scented konjac are just deceptions. Queen Jingjue's coffin is hidden somewhere else, right?" Wang Kaixuan noticed Zhao Shucheng's movements and asked curiously.

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: 'Of course not, I am looking for another channel. '

"Are there other passages here?"
