Chapter 2117 Fantasy and Introspection

As the vibrations in the temple stopped and everyone thought nothing happened, Zhao Shucheng shined a flashlight on the top of the temple, as if expecting something.

When Hu Ba saw it, he couldn't help but shine a flashlight over it, and saw a red light flashing on the top, as if it were a mural, and it seemed to be moving. People couldn't help but marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of Jingjue Country.

"Isn't this too spectacular?"

Shirley Yang looked at it in amazement, and the archaeological team also nodded, thinking that it was really beautiful up there.

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but sneered and said, "It looks good. You won't think so in a while."

As he was talking, he saw that the originally flat mural above suddenly moved, and then weaved into a huge eyeball, which seemed to be staring at everyone present.

This time, other people didn't say it looked good. They all thought it was very strange. Could it be that Queen Jingjue is really a monster?

However, Zhao Shucheng took out the gun from his back and shot the huge eyeball. Then he saw the eyeball split open, and countless black snakes emerged from it. It was Jingjian Ahan who had been found in the valley before.

"Do you still think it's safe here? Back off, Old Hu, Fatty, light the solid fuel, put it in front of us, and imitate these black snakes to pass over us."

Zhao Shucheng continued to shoot at the black snakes as he spoke, trying his best to shoot one at a time. Occasionally, he would also take fuel, light it directly and throw it towards the place where the snakes were gathered. The black snakes died immediately when they touched the flames.

When Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo saw Zhao Shucheng shoot, they refused at first because they thought it would destroy the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue. But when the black snake appeared and even pounced on them, they felt that letting Zhao Shucheng join the archaeological team was the most correct decision they had ever made.

If Zhao Shucheng hadn't stopped them before, and if Zhao Shucheng hadn't fired in advance, and everyone happened to encounter the black snake under the altar, they would not have guaranteed 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 started to use guns and Zhao Shucheng to eliminate the black snakes in front of them.

Black Snake might really be afraid of bright light, so he could only rush in front of Zhao Shucheng and others, but faced with the strafing fire from Zhao Shucheng and others, he couldn't rush in front of him for a while.

The other members of the archaeological team were not in a hurry to retreat when they saw this. Instead, they came to Zhao Shucheng and others, preparing to shoot together.

But when Zhao Shucheng checked the level of Sa Di Peng and Hao Jian, he directly said with disgust: "Xiao Sa, Xiao Hao, please stop shooting, it is a waste of bullets. In this way, you load us and we shoot. Try to deal with these black snakes as soon as possible.”

“Beware of monuments!”

Professor Chen was frightened when they fired. He was really worried that stray bullets would cause too much damage to the temple, so he asked them to just load the ammunition and let Zhao Shucheng, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan shoot.

After a few minutes of fierce fighting, Zhao Shucheng, who was almost out of ammunition and food, finally saw that all the black snakes had been eliminated. However, Zhao Shucheng did not dare to let others get so close. He took a machete and went to finish off the wounds one by one alone to ensure that no remaining black snakes survived and no snake heads were left, before letting the archaeological team come over.

Zhao Shucheng asked Sa Dipeng and others to clean up the black snake first, and then lit it with solid fuel before returning to the altar.

Professor Chen saw the jade pendant inlaid on the jade stone and said, "It's incredible, Xiao Wang, can you tell me the origin of your jade pendant?"

When Wang Kaixuan was about to brag, he was stopped by Hu Bayi and said: "Fat man, please speak up and tell the truth!"

Wang Kaixuan said with some depression: "My father passed it on to me. It is said that his old comrade seized it from a black-bearded bandit when he led the troops to suppress bandits in the Taklimakan Desert. Later, when I was born, that My uncle gave this to me as a birth gift.”

After hearing this, Professor Chen said with some emotion: "Such precious cultural relics should be handed over to the state. How can they be sent here and there?" '

Wang Kaixuan became anxious after hearing this, and grabbed the jade ball directly to take off the jade pendant and hide it. However, he did not expect that the jade ball was motionless before, but now it was directly picked up by the fat man.

"What are you doing? Put it down."

Professor Chen also said anxiously: "Xiao Wang, you are not allowed to act recklessly." '

"Lao Hu knows about this jade pendant. I have been wearing it since I was a child. This jade eye fits perfectly with my jade pendant, which means that this jade eye belongs to me."

"This is a cultural relic, why is it yours?" Sa Di Peng said anxiously.

"This is mine, according to the rules..."

Hu Bayi said: "Fat man, why are you talking so much nonsense? Ren Xiaosa is right. This is a cultural relic and must be handed over to the state."

Yang Xueli didn't pay attention to the fat man's nonsense and said: "Professor Chen, come over and take a look. Is this a ghost cave text? And is this a mechanism leading to the underground?"

"It's very possible, Xiao Wang, hurry up and put the jade eyes back."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Be careful!" He followed directly to the edge of the altar, holding a machete to the hole under the jade eye, and saw a black snake coming out of it. He was about to pounce towards everyone, but was directly attacked by Zhao Shucheng. Behead the snake and crush it with your feet.

"Everyone, please be careful and look for other black snakes."

After checking and finding that no more black snakes came out of the hole, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shirley Yang suddenly said, "Look, is there any change in that altar?"

"It seems to be high."

Zhao Shucheng also nodded and said, "Yes, it is more than ten centimeters taller than before." '

A group of people came to the altar curiously, looked at the altar, and said: 'This should be the location of the agency, fat man, Jade Eyes! '

"Okay, here you go!"

But when Zhao Shucheng put it on, the jade eye suddenly exploded, leaving only a jade pendant intact.

Everyone else was stunned when they saw this scene, and Professor Chen even felt distressed and said: "This is a priceless treasure." Zhao Shucheng said: "Professor Chen, you have also seen that this is not what we did, but the jade eyes. As if it had completed its historical mission, it would break at the slightest touch. Ordinarily, such jade should not be so fragile."

Professor Chen nodded and said, "I know it has nothing to do with you, but it's such 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 we must find the correct way to open it to avoid triggering other traps after making the wrong turn."

"That's right." Hu Ba nodded, then looked at the pillars around him and said, "Professor Chen, when I look at the pillars in the temple, they seem to be arranged in the same way as the Sixteen Dragons in the Underground. It coincides with the number of giant gates. There are The ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty were also arranged in this way."

Hu Bayi started to turn the stone platform, taking five steps along the yang side and one step down the yin side. After the rotation was completed, a place on the ground suddenly sank downwards, and then a passage appeared, which seemed to be the underground palace leading to Queen Jingjue.

"Xiao Hu, you have really made great contributions to our expedition to the Western Regions."

Hu Bayi said humbly: "Professor Chen, don't always praise me. This is nothing. It should be done."

Just as the archaeological team was preparing to enter, Zhao Shucheng said: "Professor Chen, I think there should not be too many people entering the underground palace this time. The remaining people have nothing to do. The underground palace of the ancient city is one of the most exquisite, but the underground palace is exquisite." Jueren’s living customs and so on should also be included in the scope of this inspection. Our time is very tight, and the next black sandstorm in the wind season may come again. If we leave this time, it may not happen next time. It’s not sure how long it will take to find the ancient city of Jingjue, so we need to investigate the situation here in detail.”

"Besides, if there is really an underground river here, our water supply problem also needs to be solved." As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng looked at the tired young archaeological team members on the side.

Professor Chen hesitated for a moment, looked at the others, and finally said: "Well, Aiguo, you take Xiaoye and the others to rub the ghost cave inscriptions inside this temple, as well as the residence of Jingjue outside, and see what you can discover. Yes. I took Xiao Sa and Xiao Hu into the underground palace."

After hearing this, Hao Aiguo hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to Professor Chen and led his students to take photos and record the monuments in the temple.

Only then did Zhao Shucheng and his party begin to enter the underground passage. As they walked, they heard the sound of flowing water.

Hu Bayi said: "Have you ever felt that the humidity is getting heavier and heavier?"

"Yes, I also heard the sound of the stream flowing."

But Fatty Wang said a little strangely: "Really or not, how could there be any sound of water?" '

Zhao Shucheng frowned after hearing this, because the voice of the group of people was very low, even the fat man could hear it clearly. There was no reason that he couldn't hear the sound of the flowing water.

If Fatty Wang really didn't hear it, it could only mean that there was something wrong with Fatty's ears, or the sound was wrong.

Zhao Shucheng did not believe that this was a coincidence. On the contrary, because the fat man was wearing the jade pendant of Jingjue Kingdom, he eliminated some unknown confusions and saw that what he saw and heard was true.

Zhao Shucheng increased his vigilance and led everyone to continue exploring forward. After everyone walked a little further and walked down a staircase, they saw a small river.

When everyone saw the river appearing in front of them, they immediately came over excitedly, rested by the water, began to eat from the river, and even prepared to fetch water.

But after the group rested, things became a little strange. After Satipeng filled the kettle, he returned to the underground palace alone in the direction he came from.

But others didn't seem to notice anything and even planned to continue exploring.

Zhao Shucheng frowned, but it was possible that Professor Chen arranged for Sa Di Peng to bring the water bottle back to rehydrate the archaeological team, so he didn't say anything and continued to explore the front with Hu Bayi and the others.

Hu Bayi also made a new discovery. There is a huge thousand-jin gate on the other side of the river. However, because it was unknown how deep the underground river was and whether there were any creatures in it, I didn't know if I should swim across it.

Hu Bayi felt that there must be a mechanism here that could allow people to cross the underground river, so he began to search around, and even studied the stone statues around it.

However, Fatty Wang inadvertently discovered a clue, which was a hidden stone bridge swimming in the water, but there was no way to find it without looking carefully.

After Zhao Shucheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Kaixuan. After all, the place he pointed at had been searched by others, but none of them found it. However, only Wang Kaixuan saw it and pointed it out clearly, so that others could see it. .

After waiting on the other side, Zhao Shucheng glanced at Wang Kaixuan and asked, "Fat man, can you hear the sound of water flowing now?"

Fatty Wang belatedly looked at the water and said, "Hey, don't tell me that I haven't paid attention yet. I still didn't hear the sound of water flowing. Is there really something wrong with my ears?" '

Zhao Shucheng said: "No, maybe the decibel of the sound of water flow is not within the hearing range of your ears, so don't worry about it."

Although he said this, Zhao Shucheng knew that things were not that simple. After all, this river is not a stagnant water. Instead, it may be the disappeared Ziduan River. The sound of water flow is not a special channel. There is no reason that Fatty can hear it in other places, but he cannot hear the sound of water flow here.

If Zhao Shucheng had only had doubts before, but now that the fat man spoke, he was more sure of his guess. There must be something ghostly in this passage.

Of course, there is no such thing as ghost, but there must be something that can confuse people's hearing and even vision.

Now that Zhao Shucheng knew that he had been attacked, he naturally could not sit still and wait for death, so he began to silently recite scriptures and even covered the surface of his body with a golden light spell.

Sure enough, after Zhao Shucheng unfolded the golden light spell, he found that there was indeed no sound of water flowing in his ears. The water he saw before did indeed exist, but it was not as unfathomable as what he had just seen. Instead, it might only reach people. Knees so deep.

Zhao Shucheng understood that everyone must have fallen into an illusion just now. Maybe they had already fallen into it after entering the underground passage, but they didn't notice it. But last time I could only wake myself up, but there was no good way to wake up others.

Although Zhao Shucheng had prepared a lot before coming, the spells were all for fighting or eliminating traces, but there were no spells for breaking illusions.

Unexpectedly, he was also tricked without knowing it, and the system did not prompt him. This made Zhao Shucheng wake up. He was still a little too dependent on the system, and even a little arrogant. Since you know that ghosts and gods may exist, why do you think that as a person who has only practiced for a short time, you will not encounter fatal danger?

Although the system can force him to return, this is only when Zhao Shucheng is conscious. If he falls into the illusion like now, he may lose his life before Zhao Shucheng chooses to return.
