Regarding Meng Lian's story, Xiao Bai only believed a very small part of it, that is, two people did die before him.
He could also tell that the piece of human skin was indeed old.
As for his younger brother, Xiao Bai didn't believe a word of it.
After six o'clock in the morning the next day, Xiao Bai was woken up by several people. After briefly eating self-heating food, he set out on the road again.
Several people did not rest at noon. Finally, after one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Bai was finally taken to the destination of the trip by the group.
Looking at the mountain in front of him that suddenly appeared in the relatively flat forest, like a pillar of heaven, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a little confused.
In his knowledge, no one would build a mausoleum in this kind of terrain.
"Okay, we've found the location, let's eat first!"
Hearing Meng Lian's voice, he was very excited, but Xiao Bai's face was still heavy. He now believed that Meng Lian said before that he was not here to rob the tomb this time.
But this is not good news. Xiao Bai can believe that there are absolutely no white-haired zombies, rice dumplings, etc. in the ancient tombs because he has participated in the excavation of enough tombs, and there are them from all dynasties.
But he was also extremely convinced that there were indeed hidden weapons and many anti-theft measures in some ancient tombs.
Anyone who looks at the tall mountain like a pillar of heaven appearing among these hills would find it extremely unusual.
The five of them ate their lunch with their own thoughts, and then rested for a while to recharge their spirits.
"Everyone, the situation in this mountain is still unknown. I hope that everyone will listen to my orders and act in unison. Also, don't walk around without my instructions, and don't touch anything you see."
Seeing several people nodding, Xiao Bai also nodded helplessly.
"Very well, let's go!"
Although this mountain like a pillar of heaven seemed to be right in front of them, Xiao Bai and the other two walked for half an hour before they actually reached its feet.
When Xiao Bai really approached the mountain, without the obstruction of the trees, he couldn't help but feel even more shocked.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Bai looked up, but he couldn't see the top of the mountain. The mountain was almost straight up at 90°.
The five people walked around the base of the mountain for another two hours before finally discovering a mark of manual excavation before the sky turned dark.
"Boss, this should be it."
The fat man in the team took back the drone and said to Meng Lian.
Looking at the broken stone door that was almost completely blocked by vegetation, Meng Lian turned to look at the few people again.
"Everyone, be careful. Don't be careless in a place like this."
After saying that, he took out a hatchet and chopped at the vegetation covering the stone gate.
Before it got completely dark, a few people finally cleared the vegetation near Shimen.
Looking at the carved patterns on the huge stone door that was broken into several pieces, Xiao Bai confirmed at a glance that this place must have come from the same civilization as the two small bronze seals.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Meng Lian sighed.
"Okay, that's all we can do today. It's completely dark now, and we can't enter this stone gate in the dark."
"Everyone, go to bed early. At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, we will continue our exploration."
…
All night, Xiao Bai was recalling the pattern on the stone door, trying to get some information from it.
But unfortunately, Xiao Bai failed to successfully analyze any useful information from these seemingly messy and extremely damaged patterns.
Unconsciously.
Xiao Bai gradually fell asleep while looking at the stars in the sky exposed from the top of the tent.
…
In sleep.
The stars in the sky seemed to come alive, falling from the sky and shining brightly around Xiao Bai.
Surrounded by starlight, he walked into a confined space.
The four walls of the space are surrounded by wooden steps that stretch upward.
He keeps going up, keeps going up...
"Boy, have you kicked enough?"
A sudden shout suddenly woke up Xiao Bai from his sleep.
Seeing that it was already getting bright outside the tent, Xiao Bai smiled sheepishly.
I don't know when he started to have some strange and immersive dreams.
After walking out of the tent and picking up his own portion of breakfast, Xiao Bai was eating while still thinking about what the scene would be like in the dream behind him if he was not awakened.
Despite the fact that it is September now and the group of people are in a southern region like Yunling.
But at this early morning, the weather was indeed a bit cold.
After breakfast, the four men from Meng Lian left most of the equipment they carried in place and chose to travel lightly.
Having prepared everything, Meng Lian took the lead and hooked the gap above the stone door with a hook.
If the stone door hadn't been shattered by an unknown earthquake, their group would have originally planned to use explosives to break down the door.
Soon, Meng Lian followed the cracks in the broken stone door and got into it.
After a while.
"It's safe for now, come in!"
Hearing the sound, the fat man followed closely and showed agility that was not suitable for his body shape. He climbed up the crack above the stone door along the hook rope and got in.
Seeing the thin men Lin Laosan and Sister Si in the team looking at him, Xiao Bai smiled awkwardly, then he also pulled up the hook and climbed upward.
Without much effort, Xiao Bai arrived at the stone gate.
As he got into the crack, he landed on the ground again and stood still. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was so shocked that he froze on the spot.
I saw that this stone pillar-like mountain was almost empty. From the inside, it looked like a cooling tower of a nuclear power plant.
Below his eyes was a blue spring, and the inner wall of the mountain was surrounded by a circle of spiraling wooden steps just like in his dream.
Because there are dozens of small holes at the top of the mountain, either due to human factors or natural formation, and sunlight can shine directly into the mountain from the top of the mountain, so the mountain does not look dark, but instead emits bursts of green under the reflection of the blue spring. light.
Sister Si and Lin Laosan, who came in behind Xiao Bai, were also shocked when they saw this scene.
"Boss, this..."
After hearing Lin Laosan's exclamation, Meng Lian's eyes just followed the wooden steps inside the mountain wall and kept looking up.
A long while.
"Come on, let's go up these steps and have a look."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai felt extremely rejected.
Please! If we extrapolate from the age of the small bronze seal, this place must be at least 2,500 years old.
Not to mention the wooden steps, even if they were made of bronze, they should have been completely decayed.
If you step on it, it will most likely turn into wood powder...
However, Xiao Bai did not have the right to decide.
After Meng Lian finished speaking, the four of his team walked towards the beginning of the steps.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai helplessly shouted: "Hey, um, after so many years, these wooden steps shouldn't be able to withstand being stepped on by people like us, right?"
