After the cave, there is still a narrow and long corridor.

However, the subsequent corridors are relatively rough and far from being comparable to the caves that record history. There are no white marble pedestrian passages anymore, and the corridors are even narrower and cramped. They are no bigger than the Robber's Cave. People walk in.

They couldn't straighten their backs and could only move forward in a crotchety manner. Moreover, there were so many forks in the Thief's Cave that it was so complicated that the whole thing was like a maze!!

Brother Yaozi thinks that this may be a maze to defend against the enemy.

Thousands of years ago, this race came to China from the Mediterranean. They were immediately beaten head-on. They were beaten painfully and scared. They received a very painful lesson. They must have been in panic all day long after they got underground. So

This tunnel was built like a honeycomb structure, forming a huge maze.

I immediately took out the compass, determined the direction, and plunged into the countless corridors. The maze was just a deception. I already knew the overall layout of this place. I knew very well where the real location of this underground city was. As long as I grasped the general direction,

, basically no mistakes can be made.

In less than three hours, I emerged from the chaotic corridor.

The vision suddenly opened up, and a vast underground space lay before our eyes.

To be honest, although I have seen the layout of this underground city on murals, I still couldn't help but be amazed when I actually saw it.

The entire underground space is nearly ten meters high and stretches for three to four kilometers vertically and horizontally. It is almost hollowed out of the ground. At a glance, the front is dark and vaguely visible. Countless huge mounds are connected together. They are dense and dense, leaving a wide enough space in the middle.

Passage aisle.

At first glance, this place has nothing to do with the city. There are no houses, only endless mounds. Those who don’t know better may think it is a naturally formed underground space.

If we talk about man-made traces, the only one is probably a huge stone statue standing at the entrance.

This is a strong man, wearing a simple patch on his body, pointing one hand to the east, and his eyes are determined.

This is the sage who guided this race to the east. He has always been regarded by this race as a founding monarch, and his descendants are also called the royal family, whether it is the second prince in the mercury sea

, or any princess, are all his direct descendants, but this underground city implements the abdication and recommendation system. Queen Xin's leadership position was obtained through abdication. The so-called royal family is more of a spirit

The symbol on the throne is like a king after a constitutional monarchy, but he still has a lot of say.

As for those giant mounds, that's where the shelter is!

Don't underestimate these mounds, they are extremely technical!!

Because it is underground, the first issue that needs to be considered is moisture protection. These inconspicuous mounds achieve this to the extreme.

First, they polished and built the frame with natural stone, and then began to build a thick moisture-proof layer.

This involves a special material, which they invented themselves.

There are mines in Taiyue Mountain, and we were troubled when we came here.

It can be seen from the earliest rock paintings that this race discovered and began to utilize ocher in the mountains early.

The main ingredient of this special building material is ocher.

They mixed limestone, clay, ocher and sand together, calcined them, and then obtained a mixed black-gray powder...

This may be their accidental discovery, but everyone who knows anything knows that when these four things are mixed together, it almost forms the most primitive version of cement. Although it is extremely simple, it... at least has some characteristics of cement!

Then, they used this original version of cement, mixed it with sand according to a certain proportion, adjusted the water, and then laid it directly on the residence, forming a so-called moisture-proof layer.

When I saw them building houses like this on the murals, I couldn't help feeling that they were so smart. The desperate situation squeezed out every bit of their wisdom and potential. In a sense, this kind of moisture-proof layer is already very, very good.

Close to what we call waterproof mortar in modern times!!

A rough frame, plus a moisture-proof layer, and a layer of soil on the outside, formed what they called a house. This kind of house was destined to be extremely strong, so that even now, there are still no signs of collapse!

I walked forward and circled around one of the large mounds. I quickly found the door and dived in.

The interior was completely dark, so I turned on my flashlight and took a look. There were weather-corroded utensils all over the place, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.

Next, the four of us entered some mounds one after another, and the conditions inside were almost exactly the same.

"Not a single body?"

Walking between countless mounds, Brother Yaozi couldn't help but frowned and said: "This city was destroyed two thousand five to six hundred years ago. It is indeed difficult to preserve human bones in such a year, but...

Not a single bone, not even a bone residue, is left behind. This is not right, don’t you think it’s strange?”

Indeed, this place... is too "clean"!

There is no trace of death at all!!

This city is underground. Due to structural reasons, it cannot be opened too large, otherwise it will collapse too easily. After the scale of the city reaches a certain level, it cannot continue to be opened. Due to the constraints of food and city size, it has reached

In the later period, this mysterious race has been working hard to control the population. Their population has been in a saturated state for a long time, even on the eve of their demise.

According to our estimates, their population at that time should have been around 20,000 to 30,000 people!!

With so many people dying together, even after more than 2,000 years, it’s impossible not to find any bones or residue, right? The Yuanmou Man from 1.7 million years ago still has teeth left behind!

Before entering here, we were all prepared to be besieged by a large group of ghosts, but in the end there was nothing, only an empty city and endless silence!!

It doesn’t make sense to say that the ceremonial officer used the Langya boat to send all those people into the mercury sea!

If he really had the ability to bury everyone alive with the Langya ship, why would he have plotted with Shi Kuang for so long and spent so much money and energy to promote Luo Bookstore and finally achieve the goal of annihilating this clan? Isn't this just taking off his pants and farting.

Moreover, Langya ships are not that easy to build!

In the entire Mercury Sea, we only saw one ship. To say that 20 to 30 thousand people were buried is a long way off!!

So, where did the people in the city go? Why was such an empty city left?

"It's a pity that the mural didn't have time to record what happened next."

Brother Yaozi sighed with regret, and then he suddenly asked me: "By the way, Jingzhe, you said that raising living people as dead people, and then using Luo Bookstore to suppress them, would such a death be violent or slow?"

of?"

"I don't know much about this. There is no record of this method in my family history. I guess it was the ritual officer who flexibly created it based on the situation at that time."

I shook my head, then thought about it, and then said: "However, it should be chronic death. Brother Yaozi, you know Feng Shui, and you should know what Feng Shui is. This is not just a Taoist science, it is advanced.

That is to say, they study the changes in the environment and the universe. The powerful Kanyu master is no longer limited to the phase and the earth, but is looking for some balance points. This balance point is how people, as a part of nature, can use Feng Shui to integrate with the environment.

In order to achieve the perfect state of endless life, which is what we often call the unity of nature and man.

To put it bluntly, this Feng Shui is closely related to people. Killing Feng Shui actually uses natural forces to destroy the balance of your body and suppress your torso. At first, you may just be physically unwell, but gradually you will develop frequent illnesses and lose your vitality.

Depletion, until complete death, is like water seeping into dry soil, it proceeds slowly and takes time..."

Towards the end, my tone became more and more certain.

Luo Bookstore is just a Feng Shui bureau. There is no need to demonize it too much. The ritual officer just used it properly and achieved the effect of killing people without blood. This kind of Feng Shui bureau simply suppresses Yin energy, so it is very suitable.

As for the layout of a yang house, there are many Feng Shui bureaus similar to this, and some are even naturally formed. There are also many normal people who are born with strong Yin energy. Is it possible that once they enter a Feng Shui bureau that suppresses Yin energy, they will immediately

Failed? It’s impossible even if you think about it. As long as you don’t wait for a long time, your life will not be in danger at all!!

Brother Yaozi said "Oh", looking thoughtful, but didn't say anything more.

Before we knew it, we had gone very far into this underground city, and we still didn't see a single corpse. It was so clean here!

The surrounding mounds finally began to thin out, and as far as the eye could see, there was almost a sea of ​​white...

There are actually mushrooms growing here!

Whether on the mound or in the open space, they are all densely covered with mushrooms!

These mushrooms are all white and larger than ordinary mushrooms. The length of the fungus is about twenty or thirty centimeters, and the cap is like a small umbrella.

"There is this mushroom on the mural..."

Zhang Xinya said: "This kind of mushroom is artificially cultivated. The ground is not suitable for growing crops. Edible fungi are the best source of food. Someone cultivated this kind of thing and left a personal portrait on the mural!"

Of course I knew this, but I never thought that this kind of mushroom has such strong vitality and has survived to this day. It continues to grow wildly and is now out of control.

In this sea of ​​mushrooms, a huge black shadow can be vaguely seen ahead...

"It's that tower! Queen Xin is in that tower!"

I was shocked and felt unreal. I didn’t expect that we arrived in front of this tower so smoothly!

"It stinks!"

Suddenly, Lao Bai said softly: "Don't you smell a stink?"

"It does have a weird smell, but it's just the smell of mushrooms. Generally, mushrooms have this weird smell."

Zhang Xinya responded, casually breaking off a flower from the nearby mound, pinching it gently, and the juice splashed everywhere. She rubbed the sticky juice on her hands and sighed softly: "I can't imagine what this race is like.

Those who survived actually regard this kind of food as their staple food. If I eat it for three days, I will go crazy..."

Lao Bai did not respond to her emotion, and continued with a solemn tone: "It's not the smell of mushrooms, it's a very smelly smell, very fishy!!"

I really didn't smell any fishy smell. I turned around and was about to ask, but I saw Lao Bai looking around, as if looking for the source of the smell. Then his body trembled and he immediately walked forward. After a while, he stopped, bent down and used his arms to hold the smell.

The mushrooms on the ground were swept away in pieces, and then a black thing was suddenly pulled out from the wet mud...

Suddenly, a strong fishy smell hit my face!!

This time, he didn't need to say anything. I also smelled it. It was a smell similar to dead fish and rotten shrimps, which made me sick. I hurriedly walked towards him, wanting to see what it was...
