Wang Qiang nodded first, and then immediately shook his head.
"No, no, although we didn't see it with our own eyes, didn't we organize an archaeological team to go in later?"
"I said, Mr. Wang, you really don't study or read newspapers. Not long after you came out on that trip, we arranged for two groups of people. One group went to excavate "He Zheng's Tomb" in the desert, and the other group looked at the glacier cave entrance where you came out. I walked in, but I came back before the trip was complete."
"No way, we've even scouted the road for them, why can't we just walk here?"
"They originally wanted to follow your route, but they didn't expect that with this year's 'El Niño' phenomenon, the global temperature increased, the Kunlun Glacier melted faster, the water level rose, and the entire entrance to Queen Jingjue's Tomb was flooded."
"What about this? I don't even know!"
Wang Qiang looked at Lin Yi with some confusion.
"Actually, this is normal. I have said before that when the feng shui changes, the situation will change. When we come out, the entrance of the cave may still be the 'door of life'. When they re-enter, the entrance of the cave may become the 'door of death.' , it’s better for them not to rush in rashly.”
"Master Wang, do you still remember what the queen looked like in the photo you saw?"
"What does it look like"
Wang Qiang raised his head and thought for a while.
"Has a nose and eyes? Hey, you asked suddenly, why don't I have any impression in my head! But it's okay, the photo should still be in Xiao Song's camera. We all looked at it at the time and praised the queen for her appearance.
Hiss, it's strange, why do I only have a vague outline in my head now, and I can't remember what she looks like. "
Lin Yi stood there, silently calculating in his mind. After a while, he suddenly asked:
"Shopkeeper Qian, do you think this Wu Zhao has a fine bloodline?"
When Qian Sheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Wu Zetian's ancestral home is Bingzhou, but according to historical records, her birthplace is in Lizhou, Bashu. Her father, Warrior Xun, was from Wenshui, Bingzhou; her biological mother, Yang, was from Huayin. These are all recorded in history. of.
Moreover, Wu Zhao had an older sister in front of him, and a younger sister behind him. They were both born when his father, the warrior Xun, was the governor of Bingzhou.
This has to be mentioned that Mr. Wu is always strong and strong. When Mrs. Yang was pregnant with her eldest daughter, the old man was already nearly fifty years old.
You must know that this was more than a thousand years ago. If you were to think of this now, you wouldn’t even dare to think about it! "
"I told you not to think about it, just do as I said, take another picture, take it back and compare it with Xiao Song's picture, won't you understand everything?"
"That's a solution!"
Just as the two were making preparations, they felt the earthy smell after the rain hit their faces, and something fell above their heads.
Then the surroundings became dark. It turned out that a series of rain fell from above, extinguishing the candlelight they were lighting.
"No, this top doesn't seem to hold up anymore!"
Wang Qiang stood at the highest point, holding a lighter, and with the faint light of the fire, he saw small, winding cracks appearing on the stone slab above the head of the Buddha statue.
The three people's attention just now was attracted by the appearance of the Buddha statue, and they did not notice that the rain above their heads was getting heavier and heavier.
What was originally a steady leak quickly turned into a water curtain hole.
"Why are you still standing there, hide in your head!"
The rain seeped down and the Buddha's head immediately became slippery. Lin Yi held Qian Sheng with one hand and the safety rope around Wang Qiang's waist with the other.
If the stone slab above the head of the Buddha statue cannot withstand it, they will definitely experience a huge impact.
However, it has been raining for several days, and the peaks and valleys have passed, so there will be no landslides.
If a lot of rainwater pours in, the structure inside the Buddha's head is relatively strong and can at least hold up for a while.
Qian Sheng got into the Buddha's head first, holding on to the safety rope with both hands.
The water is getting stronger and the gaps are getting wider.
Wang Qiang crawled on the Buddha's head, slowly slid backwards, and then slid into the hole.
Lin Yi was the last one to get in. As soon as he closed the hexagonal top cover with his hands, he heard several continuous roars above his head.
After all, the stone slab above the head could not withstand the pressure of the rain and broke into several pieces, all of which fell on the Buddha's head.
Lin Yi and the three of them now really feel what it means to have a "buzzing" feeling.
It was like someone was beating a drum on their heads. After all the surrounding rocks rolled down, rain began to pour down the top of their heads.
The flow of rainwater was amazing, forming a waterfall in the hole, and all the water fell on the Buddha's head. The scene was particularly spectacular.
It's a pity that Lin Yi and the others can't see it, and they don't dare to look.
Fortunately, the structure of the Buddha's head was strong enough, so it would be safe for the group of them to hide inside.
The hexagonal exit is located just behind the head, and there is no danger of water seepage.
The three of them stayed inside, always vigilant and tense, waiting for more than an hour. Until they heard the sound of rain above them gradually getting smaller, and then sporadic rain began to fall. Lin Yi then Open the cover and stick your head out.
The space that had been dark before finally had light.
A light that wasn't too dazzling fell from the big hole above his head, and a breath of fresh air after the rain hit his face.
There is still water flowing down from the entrance of the cave, and the amount of water is negligible.
Lin Yi stood on the top of the Buddha's head, less than two meters away from the broken entrance of the cave.
The diameter of the hole is about three meters. If you find a strong point, you can get out with just the flying tiger claws.
Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng climbed out of the hole immediately.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
"God help me, God help me, this continuous rain actually caused this piece of land to collapse, which saved us from having to dig another hole."
"Master Lin, Master Wang, smell this smell, um~~ This is the smell of life. Thanks to you two, we came out of hell alive!"
The three of them slapped each other on the shoulders, celebrating their escape.
Victory is just around the corner, so why delay?
The three of them worked together to crawl out of the cave, and then they discovered that on top of the Buddha's head was a reservoir made of bluestone and blue bricks.
Located at the top of the north slope, sandwiched in a deep valley, it is very hidden.
And where they are now, they have reached the highest point of the north slope, overlooking the entire Xiqi County and the scenery below Zhouyuan.
No wonder this Buddha statue is made to look down, it does have its purpose.
There were barren mountains and ridges all around, and it had just rained, so the roads were muddy.
But for them now, these difficulties are a piece of cake.
Lin Yi cut some branches and made some simple hiking poles. The three of them walked along the winding and muddy path, bit by bit, towards the county seat.
