Zheng Xuan's face changed drastically, and he ran to the side with a bitter face and vomited!

Seeing this scene, Su Chen, who had expected it for a long time, couldn't help but smile.

"This kind of insect-breaking path is mixed with lime, mercury, and various secret medicines specially prepared!"

"The medicinal properties can last for thousands of years, ensuring that no plants will grow on the broken insect path, and it can also disperse all kinds of snakes, rats, insects and ants."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang understood and couldn't help teasing Zheng Xuan.

"Have you heard, this is a secret medicine formulated by the ancients thousands of years ago, you can earn money just by smelling it!"

Zheng Xuan was still vomiting, and vomited almost all the food he had eaten in the morning, before he fought back indignantly: "Then why don't you go and smell it?"

"No, I'm not an archaeologist, and I'm not blessed."

A few people chatted and laughed, and set off again.

But then, they ran into two other broken worm paths one after another!

Seeing this scene, Song Ying couldn't help sighing: "Xian Wang is really extravagant, and even set up three broken worm ways!"

"No, he didn't think about governing the country well. He almost poured all the power of the whole country into building a tomb for himself. It is estimated that the ancient kingdom of southern Xinjiang under his rule will perish with him after the mausoleum is built."

Although Su Chen looked down on Xian Wang's behavior and thought he was a lunatic.

But I have to say that King Xian is indeed awesome!

Mobilizing the manpower and material resources of an entire country, it has been built for decades, just for an unattainable dream of becoming a fairy.

This courage alone is awesome.

If he puts all his vigor on attacking the surrounding area and expanding the country's strength, he might be able to leave a strong mark in the history books!

The range of the three broken worm paths is getting smaller and smaller, which also means that everyone is getting closer and closer to Xianwang's Tomb.

In any case, it is good news.

Especially Song Ying, when she realized that they were walking on the right path, she suddenly burst out with a strong belief, and her steps became brisk.

After the group crossed the third broken worm path!

Suddenly, the grass next to him made a rustling sound, but it still trembled.

Chen Jianbing and Li Guoqiang reacted the fastest, retreating almost immediately, pointing their rifles at the grass.

"Don't worry, it's dancing grass!"

"Dancing grass? Professor Xiao Su, are you joking, can grass still dance?" Xiao Zhuang asked puzzled.

"of course!"

Song Ying interjected and explained: "Dancing grass, the scientific name is Zhongcao grass, is a small-leaved shrub that can grow up to 1.5 meters. Once it is disturbed by people or animals, it will vibrate. It looks like it is dancing, so it is also called They are called dancing plants, but they are harmless to humans."

"Nice! Captain Song's Ph.D. in Biology is not for nothing!"

Chen Jianbing gave a thumbs up and praised.

Li Guoqiang stepped forward and carefully pushed aside the dancing grass.

At this moment, everyone saw that a red gourd as tall as half a person suddenly appeared behind the bushes!

Chapter 94 Song Ying: You are a school of moving mountains

After walking over, everyone discovered that it was a stone gourd.

There is a bright red paint on the surface, but I don't know what kind of paint it is. After thousands of years, the color is still as vivid as it was painted yesterday!

"Strange, why is there a stone gourd here?" 11111

Zheng Xuan looked at the stone gourd with a puzzled look on his face.

But at this time, Xiao Zhuang, who was on the side with sharp eyes, suddenly pointed to the distance facing the stone gourd and shouted: "Look at that, there seems to be a temple!"

Everyone cheered up when they heard the words, and looked up one after another.

I saw a mountain temple built against the mountain under the cover of dancing grass.

The mountain temple is divided into front and back. The main hall in front has been dilapidated, and many bricks and tiles have fallen off.

The gate of the temple is surrounded by many vines, and through the gaps, exquisite carvings and murals on the walls of the temple can be vaguely seen.

A group of people stepped forward and pushed aside the vines wrapped around the gate of the temple.

Originally, the temple should have a wooden gate, but after thousands of years of decay, the gate has long since disappeared.

Walking into the hall, you can see a black-faced mountain god enshrined in clay sculpture.

After a long time, the paint on the black-faced mountain god has long since fallen off, but the shape of the blue-faced fangs still gives people a majestic feeling.

Other than that, there is nothing else in the mountain temple.

Song Ying said softly: "This should be a mountain temple, could it be that it was built by King Xian?"

"It's possible!"

Zheng Xuan pondered for a while and replied.

Su Chen knew that this mountain temple was built by the natives of Zhelong Mountain before offering it to the king.

It is to enshrine the Huo's undead worm in the gourd cave!

The ancient people were ignorant and ignorant. When they saw creatures they couldn't understand, they thought they were mountain gods.

Of course, according to the size and age of Huo's Undead Worm, it is indeed worthy of the title of mountain god.

Afterwards, the Zhelong Mountain natives built a mountain temple in front of the Calabash Cave, and often caught that kind of toad and dedicated it to the mountain god in their minds—Huo's Undead Worm!

From this point of view, Zhelongshan natives are much better than Xianwang.

People only sacrifice toads, but they are not cruel enough to sacrifice living people.

But King Xian let more than [-] slaves be buried with him, all kinds of vicious things

"Let's go to the apse and see what's there."

"Alright!"

Everyone set off again, bypassing the front hall and coming to the back hall.

Compared with the front hall, the apse is almost entirely embedded in the mountain.

There was no sunshine, and it looked a little cold.

Song Ying turned on the lighting, and everyone could see clearly that there were nine stone toads placed in the hall, and the orientations of these toads were different.

They are arranged in a seemingly messy manner on the high platform in the middle of the hall.

Apart from these stone toads, there is nothing else in the apse.

Zheng Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Why do you have to make so many stone toads? Could it be that the mountain god offered to the king is a big toad?"

"It's possible!"

Chen Jianbing said solemnly: "As the saying goes, even the Buddha can't stop a toad from becoming a spirit! I guess Xian Wang must have fought a spirited toad, but lost, so he built this toad temple to beg for the toad's spirit." Spare him!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhuang gave him a surprised look.

He smiled and said, "Captain Chen is fine. Now that the knowledge reserves are getting richer and richer, I have learned archaeology by subtlety."

"That's not!"

Chen Jianbing smiled triumphantly.

However, Zheng Xuan on the side curled his lips, and said quietly: "Captain Chen, I'm afraid you didn't invent this common saying yourself? I haven't heard of the frog becoming a spirit."

"Hey, I invented it. How about it being catchy?"

Several people joked for a while, and the originally dull atmosphere became much more relaxed.

After all, there were only six of them in this archaeological operation, and it was kept secret.

To put it simply, everything depends on themselves, even if their lives are in danger.

The Institute probably won't send anyone to the rescue either!

Everyone knows this huge pressure, but they don't say it.

Chen Jianbing did this to relax everyone's tense minds.

Su Chen clapped his hands, called everyone over, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, no kidding, look at the base of the stone toad, it can move. If I guessed correctly, this should be a kind of mechanism!"

"organ?"

Hearing Su Chen's words, several people quickly turned their eyes to the stone toad's base.

Sure enough, it was found that the bases of these toads were movable, and the so-called disorder was just a special arrangement.

It's just that they couldn't figure out what the law was for a while!

After researching for a while to no avail, Song Ying turned her head to look at Su Chen, and asked in a deep voice, "Professor Xiao Su, can you study the arrangement of the rock toad?"

"It should be possible, but it will take a little time. Besides, it's not too early. Everyone is tired today. Now rest in the mountain temple for one night, and we will crack this mechanism tomorrow."

"Alright!"

Song Ying took a deep look at Su Chen, didn't go into it further, went to collect dry firewood with Xiaozhuang Zhengxuan and planned to spend the night in the temple tonight.

Although this mountain temple has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, it is a bit dilapidated.

But the environment inside is a hundred times better than the primitive jungle outside!

After everyone enjoyed their dinner, they randomly found a clean place and fell asleep.

Before eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Jianbing and the others fell asleep one after another.

Only Su Chen was still studying those stone toads.

"In Ghost Blowing Lantern, Hu Bayi said that these stone toads are arranged in the order of the nine-turn loop. If you push it casually and make three mistakes, the machine will be completely stuck!"

"For those who don't understand the Yilongjing, they will mistakenly think that it is arranged according to the nine palaces and eight trigrams."

Thinking of this, the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Fengshui Secret Art 'Shield' scroll appeared in Su Chen's mind. After comparing the contents in it with the order of the stone toad, he worked hard for a while, and finally solved the mystery of the order.

Next, wait for the next day, ask Zheng Xuan and the others to help, push in order, and then you can enter the gourd cave!

In fact, the reason why Su Chen chose to form a team to go to southern Xinjiang this time, instead of coming here by himself.

One of the most important reasons is because the stone toad needs at least three people to turn at the same time.

If the two female puppets were smarter and understood what he meant, he wouldn't need to bring Zheng Xuan and the others over.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back to sleep.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw that Song Ying hadn't fallen asleep, and had been looking at herself quietly.

"you……"

Song Ying waved her hand, slowly got up and walked over and said in a low voice, "Go out and talk?"

Su Chen hesitated, then nodded slightly.

The two walked side by side to the front hall, and the pale moonlight shone through the broken temple roof and sprinkled in the front hall, adding a bit of tranquility.

After a while, Song Ying was the first to break the silence.

"Professor Xiao Su, your identity is not simple, is it?"

Hearing Song Ying's words, Su Chen was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Song Ying looked directly at Su Chen's face, and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything malicious, everyone has secrets, and I'm no exception. I'm just curious, why do you know so much about King Xian and Muchen Bead?" thing?"

"I remember you once said that there was an ancient ancestor called the Zagrama tribe who had been searching for the whereabouts of Muchen Bead for thousands of years, so..."

Speaking of this, Song Ying took a deep breath, and asked word by word: "So, I want to ask Professor Xiao Su, are you a descendant of the Zagrama tribe, that is, a mountain-moving Taoist from one of the so-called four sects of tomb robbers? "

shit...

Hearing Song Ying's words, Su Chen's heart beat wildly.

This little sister is indeed a level smarter than Chen Jianbing and the others, and she can guess to this extent.

But fortunately, she obviously didn't associate herself with the blessing of the heavenly official.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Can I not answer?"
