After turning around the stone pillar and walking only two steps, Wu Xiaoxie suddenly felt something pinching the sole of his right foot. He bent down and pulled out a ceramic shard from the bottom of the water.
Zhang Zhuxun shined a lamp on his hand.
Wu Xiaoxie looked at it carefully and suddenly gasped, "I've seen this fragment before."
The fat man and others quickly gathered around and asked what was going on.
Wu Xiaoxie explained: "Aning and I encountered a sunken ship in Devil City before. The bottom warehouse of the sunken ship was full of earthen jars made of this material. Aning's people accidentally broke them while carrying them. I killed one, and all the zombie kings inside flew out."
The water here is very clear. The fat man shined a miner's lamp and looked at the bottom of the water. He found that the sand and rocks at the bottom were full of these sharp pottery pieces, lying in ambush at the bottom of the water like hidden weapons.
The deeper we dug, the more pottery fragments we could not count. Some of the larger fragments were wrapped with some unidentified black, numb, hair-like substance, which made people's scalp numb.
The water bottom extending forward in all directions is full of such debris. The farther you go in the direction pointed by the mark, the denser the debris distribution becomes.
"It looks like it was washed down from above by water." The fat man fished out a semicircular bone from the water that was muddied by them. It had been corroded into pits and pits, like briquettes.
"Tianzhen, according to what you said, is there also a sunken ship up there?" he asked Wu Xiaoxie.
Wu Xiaoxie shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible. There won't be an ancient ship sinking so deep underground, unless the lake has a waterway leading to the outside world."
"Furthermore, these jars belong to those snake sacrifices. They should be placed in places related to sacrificial activities. I think this must be related to the religion of the Queen Mother of the West. There are so many jars. It seems that this kind of jars were not uncommon at that time. thing."
"With so many sacrifices, the tomb of Queen Mother of the West is probably at the back." The guy couldn't help but interject.
Several people's eyes suddenly turned to him.
The guy seemed to shrink back in fear and sneered, "I just said it casually, you guys, keep going, keep going."
The fat man turned his head and said, "No matter what it is, I have to go back and take a look. Tianzhen, are your feet okay? I don't know if these rotten bones are poisonous, so it's better to be careful."
Wu Xiaoxie held Zhang Chuxun's shoulder with one hand, took off his right shoe, checked it, and said, "It's okay, it's not punctured. The equipment made of wooden fish is stronger and more durable than ordinary materials."
There was a hint of urgency on Chen Wenjin's face, "We have to hurry up. Since there are sacrifices here, it's better to leave as soon as possible to ensure that all those snakes are nearby."
Strangely enough, since I came here, I have never seen those plague-like snakes again.
"Where did all those hanging sausages go? It's not like the real cat is ambushing us somewhere." The fat man felt strange and asked.
Zhang Zhuxun said: "Don't worry, the temperature here is so low that it is not conducive to reproduction. Those snakes will most likely not choose to live here."
Several people continued to move forward, carefully avoiding underwater debris to avoid scratches.
After walking for a few hundred meters, there was a small slope in front of me that was completely made up of fragments of this kind of earthen jar.
Several people looked at each other, not daring to imagine how many layers there were.
The whole area is filled with fragments of clay pots, large and small, mostly dark red and pottery yellow in color. Under these pottery pot fragments, there are many seemingly complete ghost-head jars buried inside, underwater. More bases were added.
This scene was really creepy. After hearing what Wu Xiaoxie said, they knew how powerful it was. They didn't dare to act rashly, so they carefully stepped back and turned on the lights to look for other ways out.
The black blind man was somewhat interested in this thing. He put the rope into Zhang Zhuxun's hand and dived into the water to observe the ghost-headed jars.
The fat man was afraid that if he accidentally bumped into someone and everyone would suffer, he said impatiently: "Sir, have you seen too many dead people? What are you doing with that thing? You want to take it home and use it as an urn." "
The blind man suddenly emerged from the water, and the splash of water hit the fat man in the face.
The fat man was about to curse, but the blind man suddenly
Ran shushed, signaling him to be quiet and not to speak, and then reached out and pointed at the heads of several people.
Several people suddenly felt a chill on their backs. They stood frozen on the spot, squinting their necks, and slowly raised their heads and looked up like a movie in slow motion.
On the top of the dark cave, there are actually many large and small holes with protruding edges, as if something originally embedded there had been violently dug away by some supernatural force.
Chen Wenjin hurriedly adjusted the aperture of the miner's lamp to the brightest and shined upward.
Several people quickly followed suit and lit up the lights.
Only then did they realize that what was above their heads was a whole piece of rock with a special texture. It was extremely huge. The part protruding from the roof of the cave was spherical. Its diameter was completely impossible to estimate, and it almost covered the entire field of vision.
Under the illumination of the light, the piece of molten stone showed a dark green and very light luster, exuding some kind of ominous atmosphere.
The strange thing is that the surface of this stone is full of holes the size of tar barrels, thousands of them, densely packed, and looks extremely ugly, like a lotus root eaten out by insects.
The atmosphere suddenly solidified.
The fat man muttered, "What the hell is this girl doing?"
"Sky stone..." Chen Wenjin murmured to himself, with an excited expression and eyes full of hope, "This is the sky stone. My destination must be here. These meteorites are the ultimate secret of the Queen Mother of the West. What Wang Zanghai is looking for is probably This thing..."
Wu Xiaoxie wondered, "What is Wang Zanghai doing looking for meteorites? Also, with so many holes here, could it be that they were all dug manually?"
"No, this should be natural. Many meteorites are honeycomb-shaped, but the honeycomb of these holes is a bit ugly." The black blind man suddenly said seriously, and the cynical smile on his face disappeared.
"Have you ever heard of an unconfirmed theory that the Qaidam Basin and the Tarim Basin were both formed by the impact of a split asteroid? This thing may be a meteorite fragment at that time. The Tarim Basin is An oasis is the eye of a meteorite impact." The man with his hands tied suddenly said.
He looked up at the ceiling of the cave, and a touch of enthusiasm appeared on his face. It passed quickly, but it was still caught by Zhang Zhuxun, who had been paying attention to him.
"The Queen Mother of the West ordered people to build the City of the Queen Mother of the West in the eyes of this meteorite, and when they were building an underground reservoir, they discovered this meteorite that went deep into the ground. I guess this thing must be a symbol of the Queen Mother of the West's divine power." The guy continued.
Chen Wenjin turned around and stared at him. The guy seemed not to notice this, and his attention was still focused on the meteorite above his head.
Chen Wenjin frowned and looked at Zhang Zhuoxun.
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded to her and mouthed "Don't worry" silently.
Chen Wenjin turned his head and walked away with his little brother.
The fat man was not interested in the ugly stone on his head. When he saw the two walking away, he quickly waved to Wu Xiaoxie and the others to follow them.
