As the vibration of the temple stopped and everyone felt that nothing was left, Zhao Shucheng shone the top of the temple with a flashlight, as if he was looking forward to something.
After seeing this, Hu Bayi couldn't help but shine it with a flashlight, and saw a red light flashing on the top, as if it was a mural or as if it was moving, which made people marvel at the magical craftsmanship of Jingjue Kingdom.
"Is this too spectacular?"
Shirley Yang looked at the above in amazement, and the archaeological team nodded, thinking that the above was indeed very beautiful.
Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but sneer and said, "It looks good, you won't feel this way in a while."
As I was talking, I saw that the mural above, which seemed to be a flat surface, suddenly moved, and then woven into a huge eyeball, as if staring at everyone present.
No one else said it was good at this time. They all thought it was very strange. Could it be that Queen Jingjue is really a monster?
Zhao Shucheng took out the gun behind him and shot the huge eyeball. Then he saw that the eyeballs were cracking directly, and countless black snakes emerged from it. It was Jingjian Ahan who had been discovered in the valley before.
"Do you still think this place is safe now? All backed back, Lao Hu, fat man, the solid fuel is ignited, placed in front of us, imitating these black snakes over us."
Zhao Shucheng said as he continued to shoot at the black snake, trying to shoot one at a time, occasionally holding fuel, ignite it directly and throw it into the place where the snakes gathered. The black snake died immediately when it hits the flames.
Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo refused at first when they saw Zhao Shucheng firing, because they thought that this would destroy the remains of Jingjue Ancient City. But when the black snake appeared and even rushed towards them, they felt that letting Zhao Shucheng come to the archaeological team was the most correct decision they had ever made.
If Zhao Shucheng hadn't stopped them before and prevented them from approaching, if Zhao Shucheng hadn't fired in advance, everyone would have encountered a black snake while under the altar, they would not have been able to guarantee that everyone in the archaeological team would be unscathed.
After Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi and others ignited the solid fuel and arranged it around, they also began to use guns to eliminate the black snake in front of them with Zhao Shucheng.
The black snake might be really afraid of the strong light, so it could only rush to Zhao Shucheng and others, but in the face of Zhao Shucheng and others' shooting, it was impossible to rush to the front for a moment.
Seeing this, other members of the archaeological team were not in a hurry to retreat. Instead, they came to Zhao Shucheng and others and prepared to shoot together.
But when Zhao Shucheng swept over the level of Sadi Peng and Hao Jian, he said directly disgusted: "Xiao Sa, Xiao Hao, don't shoot, waste bullets in vain. In this way, you can load us, we can shoot, and try to solve these black snakes as soon as possible."
"Be careful of the ancient monuments!"
Professor Chen was frightened when they shot, really worried that the stray bullet would cause too much damage to the temple, so he also asked them to just load the bullets, asking Zhao Shucheng, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan to shoot.
After a few minutes of fierce battle, Zhao Shucheng, who almost ran out of ammunition and food, finally saw that all the black snakes had been eliminated. However, Zhao Shucheng did not dare to let others approach it. He took the scimitar and went to finish the knife one by one to ensure that there were no remaining black snakes and no snake heads left on their heads, which made the archaeological team come over.
Zhao Shucheng asked Sadipeng and others to clean up the black snake first and ignite it with solid fuel before coming back to the altar.
Professor Chen saw the jade pendant inlaid on the jade and said, "It's incredible. Xiao Wang, can you tell me the origin of your jade pendant?"
When Wang Kaixuan was still bragging, he was stopped by Hu Bayi and said, "Tell me well, tell the truth!"
Wang Kaixuan said with some depression: "It was passed to me by my father. It is said that his old comrade-in-arms seized it from a black-bearded bandit when he was leading his troops to suppress bandits in the Taklamakan Desert. Later, when I was born, the uncle gave it to me as a gift for life."
After hearing this, Professor Chen said with some emotion: "This kind of precious cultural relics should be handed over to the country. How can it be delivered to you?'
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he became anxious and grabbed the jade ball and prepared to take it down and hide it. However, he didn't expect that the jade ball was still motionless before, but now it was picked up by the fat man.
"What are you doing? Let it go."
Professor Chen also said anxiously: "Xiao Wang, you are not allowed to do anything wrong."
"Old Hu knows that I have been carrying this jade pendant since I was a child. This jade eye is closely matched with my jade pendant, which means that this jade eye is mine."
"This is a cultural relic, why is it yours?" Sardipeng said anxiously.
"This is mine, according to the rules..."
Hu Bayi said: "Fatty, you don't have so much nonsense. The man Xiaosa is right. This is a cultural relic and you have to hand it over to the country."
Yang Xueli didn't mind the fat man's nonsense and said, "Professor Chen, come and take a look. This is the ghost cave text? And is this the mechanism leading to the underground?"
"It's very likely, Xiao Wang, put your jade eyes back quickly."
Zhao Shucheng said, "Be careful!" Then he went straight to the altar and looked at the hole under the jade eye with a scimitar. He saw a black snake emerging from inside. He was about to pounce on everyone, but Zhao Shucheng beheaded directly and directly stepped on the snake's head and crushed it with his feet.
"Please be careful and see if there are any other black snakes."
After checking, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief when they found that no black snakes had emerged from the hole.
Yang Xueli suddenly spoke, "Look, is there any change in that altar?"
"It seems to be high."
Zhao Shucheng also nodded and said, "No, it's more than ten centimeters taller than before."
The group came to the altar curiously, looked at the altar, and said, "This should be where the mechanism is, fat man, jade eyes!"
"Okay, give it!"
But when Zhao Shucheng put it on, his jade eyes suddenly exploded, leaving only one jade pendant intact.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Others were stunned when they saw this scene, and Professor Chen said with even more distressedness: "This is a priceless treasure."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Professor Chen, you have also seen that this is not what we did, but the jade eye seems to have completed the historical mission, and it will be broken with a slight touch. In theory, such jade should not be so fragile."
Professor Chen nodded and said, "I know it has nothing to do with you, but it's a pity."
Hu Bayi said: "It's broken now, let's take a look at the mechanism. Since the stone platform is separated, it should be able to rotate."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Yes, but this mechanism exists, but you also need to find the correct way to open it to avoid triggering other traps after turning the wrong ones."
"No," Hu Ba nodded, then looked at the pillars around him and said, "Professor Chen, I looked at the pillars in the temple, which seemed to be the same as the sixteen dragons in the Pure Land. It was inconsistent with the number of Jumen, and some ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty were also arranged with such mechanisms."
Hu Bayi started to turn the stone platform, and walked the yang for five steps, and Yin came from one of them. After the turn, a part of the ground suddenly sank into the ground, and a passage appeared, as if below was the underground palace leading to Queen Jingjue.
"Xiao Hu, you have really made great contributions to our Western Regions inspection activities."
Hu Bayi said modestly: "Professor Chen, don't always praise me. This is nothing, it should be done."
Just as the archaeological team was about to enter, Zhao Shucheng said, "Professor Chen, I think there should not be too many people entering the underground palace this time, and the remaining people are not doing anything. The underground palace of Jingjue Ancient City is one aspect, but Jingjue's living customs and so on should also be within the scope of this inspection. Our time is very tight. The next black sandstorm in Fengji may come again. We will leave this time and may not be long after we come next time. We are not sure whether we can find Jingjue Ancient City, so we need to conduct detailed investigations on the situation here."
"What's more, if there is really a underground river underground, our water replenishment problem needs to be solved." Zhao Shucheng looked at the tired young archaeological team members.
Professor Chen hesitated for a moment, looked at the others, and finally said, "So, patriotism, you bring Xiao Ye and the others to copy the ghost cave text in this temple, and the stunning residence outside to see what you can find. I will take Xiao Sa and Xiao Hu and the others into the underground palace."
Hao Aiguo hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but in the end he followed Professor Chen and took his students to take photos and record the ancient monuments in the temple.
Zhao Shucheng and his group then began to enter the underground passage. As they walked, they heard the sound of the stream flowing.
Hu Bayi said, "Do you feel that the moisture is getting heavier and heavier?"
"Yes, I also heard the sound of the stream flowing."
Fatty Wang said strangely: "It's true or false, how can there be a sound of water?"
Zhao Shucheng frowned after hearing this, because the sound of the group talking was very small, and the fat man could hear it clearly. There was no reason why he could not hear the sound of the stream flowing.
If Fatty Wang really didn't hear it, it only means that either the fat man had an ear problem or the sound was wrong.
Zhao Shucheng didn't believe it was a coincidence. Instead, the fat man was wearing the jade pendant of Jingjue Kingdom, so he eliminated some unknown confusion. What he saw and heard was the real one.
Zhao Shucheng was vigilant and led everyone to continue exploring ahead. After everyone walked a distance, after walking downward stairs, he saw a small river.
When everyone saw the river water, they immediately walked over excitedly, rested by the water, started eating the river water, and even prepared to fetch water.
But after the group had rested, things became a little strange. After Sardipeng packed the kettle, he returned to the underground palace alone in the direction he came.
But the others seemed to have noticed nothing and even planned to continue exploring.
Zhao Shucheng frowned, but it might be that Professor Chen arranged for Sadipeng to bring the kettle back to replenish the archaeological team, so he didn't say anything and continued to take Hu Bayi and the others to explore the front.
Hu Bayi also made a new discovery, and there was a huge thousand-pound gate on the other side of the river. However, because of how deep the dark river is, whether there are any creatures inside are unknown, and I don’t know if I should swim over for a while.
Hu Bayi felt that there must be an organization here that could make people cross the river, so he began to search around, and even the stone statues around the researchers.
Fatty Wang accidentally discovered a clue, which was swimming in the water with a stone dark bridge, but if you don’t look carefully, you can’t find it.
After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but look at Wang Kaixuan. After all, the other people had searched the place he pointed at, but they didn't find it. However, only Wang Kaixuan saw it and pointed out clearly that others could see it.
After arriving at the other side, Zhao Shucheng glanced at Wang Kaixuan and asked, "Fatty, can you hear the sound of water flowing now?"
Fatty Wang looked at the water surface after realizing it and said, "Oh, I haven't noticed you yet. I still haven't heard the sound of water flowing. Is there really something wrong with my ear?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "No, maybe the decibels of the water flowing sound are not within the hearing range of your ears, so don't worry."
Although he said this, Zhao Shucheng knew that things were not that simple. After all, this river was not a stagnant water, but it might be the disappeared Zidu Dark River. The sound of water flow is not a special channel. There is no reason why the fat man can hear it elsewhere, but he can't hear the sound of water flow here.
If Zhao Shucheng had just had some doubts before, but now the fat man spoke, he was even more sure of his guess that there must be ghosts in this channel.
Of course, there is no real existence of ghosts, but there must be something that can confuse people's hearing and even vision.
Since Zhao Shucheng knew that he had been caught, he naturally could not sit still and wait for death, so he began to recite scriptures silently and even covered the golden mantra on the surface of his body.
Sure enough, after Zhao Shucheng's golden light curse was unfolded, he found that he could not hear any sound of water flowing in his ears. The water I saw before did exist, but it was not as deep as I saw just now. Instead, it might only reach the depth of a person's knees.
Zhao Shucheng understood that everyone should have fallen into a illusion just now. Maybe after entering the underground passage, they had already fallen into it, but they didn't find it. However, last time, they could only wake up, but there was no good way to wake up others.
Although Zhao Shucheng prepared a lot before coming, the talismans were all for fighting or eliminating traces, but there was no talisman that allowed people to break the illusion.
Unexpectedly, he was hit unknowingly, but the system did not prompt him. This made Zhao Shucheng wake up a little. He was still a little too dependent on the system and even a little arrogant. Since he knew that there might be ghosts and gods, why do he think that a person who has not been practicing for a long time will not encounter fatal danger?
