Chapter 819
We were almost done eating, so we put the empty cans and bottles aside and studied the stone.
These carvings are dated, and I don’t know exactly when they were. I asked the leader: “Who carved these?”
I frowned and thought for a long time, and came up with an idea, which I thought was very possible.
The past is history. Since the people of the past have left traces, the current NPC can boldly imagine within a reasonable range.
Just like those unsolved mysteries told on TV in classic legends and Discovery.
Didn't Classic Legend also film Gui Zai Ling later? The host with the eyes told the story with weird music, but he didn't explain Gui Zai Ling clearly until the end.
Think so.
Hundreds of years ago, maybe a thousand years ago, every year at a certain season, someone would build new stone sculptures here in Guizailing. To make stone sculptures, high-quality limestone was needed. Some people in power arrested some civilians or criminals and asked someone to watch them. .
These people obtained high-quality limestone from the ground, transported it up to make sculptures, and placed them in the Guizailing woods.
Let me explain something in advance. At the current Guizailing Sacrifice Cultural Site, there are tens of thousands of half-length stone sculptures on the ground. In fact, there are countless large and small stone sculptures buried deep in the deep strata. I estimate that if they were all dug out, The total number may exceed the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit. These things are buried very deep, and the burial depth exceeds the tombs of previous generations.
Perhaps due to lack of manpower at that time, in addition to criminals and civilians, those who took the stones probably also captured some old, weak, women and children.
So only two simple men's and women's toilets were left, because people at that time were still taboo on the concept of "men and women giving and receiving without being intimate".
There is a man among this group of people, named Zhang San.
Under the guardianship, Zhang San came here every day to squat in the toilet, because the cave was dark and life was miserable, and he didn’t know what year or month passed. Zhang San missed his family, and because he couldn’t write, he squatted in the pit to use the toilet. , I picked up a stone casually and left these scratches to remind myself that another day has passed and I don’t know when I can go home.
Many, many years later, Brother Yu accidentally knocked down the low wall and discovered the stone he carved.
I imagined a certain scenario in my mind, and I guessed that this person probably didn't go back, and it was more likely to be bad than good. Looking at the previous tombs of the Imperial Tombs, the people in power would not let the builders who knew the location live. Therefore, in ancient times, once they were exiled to build the tombs, they were basically sentenced to death, which was very miserable.
"Leave this stone here, let's go," he stood up and picked up his backpack.
Using flashlights, the group continued to explore deeper into the cave.
The further you go in, the harder it gets. Some caves are very narrow and dark, and you don’t know where the passage is.
The ground was slippery and several flashlights were dangling.
"ah!"
Dou Sprout suddenly shouted, startling us.
"Ah...ah...ah..." the echoes kept coming
"I'm so annoyed. Why are you yelling at me when you have nothing to do?" Xiaoxuan frowned and complained to him.
Dou Sprout scratched his head and said with a smile, "Look, I'll give it a try, just in case someone replies to me."
"You are quite interesting," Achun said with a smile: "In ancient times, people like you were suitable to be sent to the palace to be groomed as eunuchs. Have you ever seen a pig groomed? I have groomed a pig before."
Douyazai immediately shut his mouth and subconsciously covered his crotch with his hands.
There is no direction at all here. I don’t know if I am going the wrong way. There is no place to go in front of me and it is blocked by a big rock.
On the left hand side of Brother Yu, we found a slope cave that went vertically downward, very narrow, like a cliff.
If you stand here and listen carefully, you can hear the sound of rushing water.
It was dark at the bottom of the slope, like an abyss, and a strong flashlight could only illuminate a small area.
"The front is blocked, so it seems we can only get off from here."
"Hold your head, it's too steep..."
He looked down and said, "You should be careful and use double ropes."
If this was a robbery hole, we would use a rope ladder, but in this condition the rope ladder is not as useful as the rope because we have to recover the rope after we go down.
No equipment is needed, just put the rope on a fixed point, pull down the other end, and you can recover it. If you use a single rope to go down and want to recover, you can only tie a very complicated knot called the kamikaze knot, and There is no double rope safety.
After it was fixed, Brother Yu threw the rope down and asked who would get off first.
