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 monkey scolded: "Old Hu, you are calling this fucking appeasement. It turns out that this water is where the rats bathe and eat, but it disgusts me to death. I drank so hard just now, I don't know how much rat shit and rat piss I drank." hair."

I said, "Don't mention it, okay? The more I think about it, the more damn disgusting I feel. Let's not stay here anymore 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. As we walked, the water vapor became heavier and the walls became more and more humid. There were many artificially dug stone chambers on both sides of this passage. They were all equipped with iron fences and big locks. There were many torture instruments inside. It looked like 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 river flow 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-jin gate, which is half-suspended with a large iron chain as thick as a human arm. There is also a huge stone underneath. Looking from under the gate, the cave is unfathomable and it is unknown where it is.

Professor Dong was surprised: "It was previously discovered that the stone door of the underground palace was blown open. Someone must have come in. The gate is so thick and is at the deepest point on the third floor of the underground palace. It is very likely that there is a spirit inside. The final resting place of the Queen.¡±

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 tombs 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 the cave was not hidden. It must have been discovered by previous people. Could it be that all the people who entered the Queen's mausoleum died inside? What exactly is in there? Could it be that the giant cave in the mural is also inside?

I want to know what the professor means. Should I go in or not?

Professor Xun said without hesitation: "Come in! I have to 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 die. If this old bone is Being buried inside is a worthy death. I am so old and don¡¯t care about anything, but you kids are still young. You don¡¯t want to go. I can go alone.¡±

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Miss Guo was loading new film into her camera and said without raising her head: "Of course I will go too." She said it lightly, as if she had not thought about entering the ancient tomb of Queen Jingjue at all, but just the first It¡¯s a question of whether to go in first or second.

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 monkey to stay and take care of the three students.

The monkey was reluctant when he heard this: "Why is it that all the work of the nursery aunt belongs to me? I don't worry if the three of you go in. If you go, I will go with you, or none of us will go in. Don't worry, what is there? I won¡¯t take any gold or silver treasure.¡±

When Chu Jian, Zheng Yonghai and others heard that they would not be taken in, they hurriedly begged and wanted to go in and have a look 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. How could they do it? Why don¡¯t you take a look at the most important Queen¡¯s Mausoleum? And if anything happens, I can help everyone.

Now that everyone has to go, what will happen to the weak Ye Yixin who is left awake and confused at times? Ye Yixin added some cold salt water, and now she had some strength. She said to everyone: "You must not leave me here alone. My health is fine. I will go in with everyone."

I saw how troublesome this was. No matter how capable Monkey and I were, we couldn't take care of five people. What's more, 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'll go in alone first and take a look. If there's no danger inside, we can go in together. If I don't come out after four or five hours, don't wait for me, Qian Don¡¯t ever enter this ancient tomb again, get out of here as soon as possible.¡±

The monkey said: "No, I have to go together so that we can take care of you."

I patted the monkey on the shoulder: "I can do it alone. My life is fine. If something happens to me, you have to take everyone out safely."

Miss Guo said: "Okay, don't sound so tragic. I'll go with you."

I thought I heard wrong: "Are you coming with me? Don't be kidding me. 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."

Miss Guo said: "It's still unclear who will take care of who. 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 and pulled the bolt with a clatter. Seeing that the bullet was loaded, she pushed the bolt of the gun and put the bullet into the chamber. She saw this and I secretly stuck out my tongue. I was also an expert in using guns. I had never noticed that before.

The two of us were busy packing up the application equipment, and the monkey said to me quietly: "Hey, Lao Hu, I think the way she looks at you is not quite right recently. Is she interested in you? She just started to stick to her wherever she goes. Up?"

I laughed and scolded: "I think you have a bad look in your eyes. I didn't even notice it, but you did? 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, if I take an American girl back, she¡¯ll cut me into pieces.¡±

The monkey said: "It's good that you have this consciousness. I'm really afraid that you will find a wife like this. No one will look down on someone like her who is so awesome just because she has a lot of money. Damn it, what did you say before?" What do you mean? You must resist the attack of sugar-coated bullets, little leather shoes.

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. He held it for a while and said, "Please protect me from my ancestor."

At this time, Miss Guo 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 type of tomb under the city. If I were asked to see the structure of a tomb from the outside, I would have to go through: We use these Feng Shui techniques to determine the age and internal structure of the ancient tomb, including ground veins, observing the situation, looking for star peaks, identifying water sources, measuring the direction, determining the cave site, and studying the depth. But this tomb is under the city. For such an ancient tomb, I This is the first time I have seen a bridge and water in front of the tomb. I really can¡¯t tell what the tomb is like according to the Feng Shui theory. We must be careful after entering, especially be careful not to trigger any mechanisms. The most important thing is. What you should be wary of are the strange snakes with black eyes on their heads. They move extremely fast and are difficult to dodge.¡±

Miss Guo nodded and walked across the stone bridge first, and I followed closely behind. Under the watch of the other five people, we crossed the black stone bridge one after another and got in under the thousand-jin gate.
