We don’t know how much financial resources the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji has, but what appears in front of us is a huge tree made of pure gold. Under the surrounding lights that are not extinguished at all, it reflects dazzling golden light.
Looking upward, the whole tree is hundreds of meters high, and the top cannot be seen at a glance. Perhaps it is because of the darkness around it that the top cannot be seen.
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. More treasures are hidden in the bottomless cave. This cave is naturally formed. The rock wall is almost vertical to the ground and the depth is up to 100 meters. The volume of such a cave is considerable and requires
Filling such a cave with gold, silver and jewels would be a huge project, and the wealth would be astronomical.
"Compared with this, Zhao Ji's Tomb is nothing compared to this."
"The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in Lishan is just like this."
"This Zhao Ji was really kind to Ying Zheng. She killed her own son, but built him such an underground palace. I'm afraid there are countless treasures here, right?" I said with emotion.
Zhang Liqun walked to the front of the golden tree, gently stroked the trunk of the golden tree with his hand, and said, "I finally found it, haha..." As he said this, he actually laughed.
I reminded Zhang Liqun: "Don't laugh so loudly, or you may trigger the police."
"I know this. Finding the golden tree won't be too far away from the real secret. Let's go up." After saying that, Zhang Liqun grabbed a fork on the main trunk like a baboon and followed the protruding branches.
The branches just climbed up, not looking old at all.
Hu Bing and I looked at each other, shook our heads, and had no other way to get out, so we had to follow Zhang Liqun and climb up the tree. I was not in the mood to look at a tree made of pure gold, and now my mind was occupied with how to find the final
's secret.
When I climbed about ten meters high, Zhao Zhen, who was crawling below me, suddenly pulled my trousers and said softly: "What sound do you hear below?"
I glanced at Zhao Zhen, then stretched out my head and looked down, and suddenly found that there were a lot of red bright spots below. Seeing these red bright spots, I immediately became vigilant.
"Everyone, be careful!"
However, those red dots were very fast, catching up with us in less than half a minute, and kept flying upwards without stopping.
Zhao Zhen conveniently grabbed a red dot, and then stretched it out in front of me to let me take a look. I took the red dot that Zhao Zhen handed over, turned on the small flashlight, pointed it at the small red dot, and took a look at it to see clearly what the thing looked like.
After that, I breathed out softly and said, "It's okay, just some bugs." After hearing what I said, Zhao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Liqun from above saw that we had not moved for a long time and shouted to us: "What are you talking about down there? Why don't you climb up quickly? You can't climb faster than an old man like me. It's really embarrassing." After saying that, he looked up.
Started to continue climbing on him.
Zhao Zhen and I glanced at Zhang Liqun curiously and thought at the same time: Didn't Zhang Liqun see those little bugs that glow red?
Just when I was about to ask him, Zhang Liqun suddenly screamed from above. He said Zhang Liqun was climbing on top of me. In fact, the distance was not very high. He only needed to move a few times to get to him. After all, he was so old.
We followed him all the time and took care of him.
But when I was about to reach Zhang Liqun, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of things around him, and Zhang Liqun was also attracted by this.
A group of things surrounded the middle, and they took out their pistols and confronted those things.
I wanted to rush over and pull Zhang Liqun back while they were confronting each other, but those unknown things were one step faster than me. A black shadow quickly rushed towards Zhang Liqun. When it jumped up, the gun in Zhang Liqun's hand also fired.
When I got up, I heard a "pop" sound, and the black figure was blown away by the bullet and fell freely, and soon landed in front of me.
I turned on a small flashlight and looked at that thing. It turned out to be an ordinary baboon. The presence of a baboon here meant something. That is, the exit is not far away, which means we can walk out of the tomb and breathe fresh air outside.
The air was clear. But why did these baboons attack Zhang Liqun? This was the first question in my mind.
Just when I was thinking about this problem, another baboon corpse fell from above and hung on a tree branch next to me. I looked up towards where Zhang Liqun was and found that there were more and more baboons. I couldn't.
After hesitating again, I climbed up to Zhang Liqun and said, "We can't waste time with these baboons. I found that their number is increasing, which is very detrimental to us. Let's avoid them and go up from the other side."
Zhang Liqun looked back at me, nodded, and then started to climb down after me. But the baboons didn't seem to give up on Zhang Liqun, and they began to move downward as we climbed down.
If we don't move, they won't move either.
Looking at those baboons, I was a little bit confused. What on earth do they want to do? What are they going to do after eating us? Just when I was depressed, Zhao Zhen called me from below. When the baboons heard Zhao Zhen’s voice, they were very surprised.
A group of people quickly jumped towards where Zhao Zhen was.
Seeing the baboon jumping down, I quickly reminded Zhao Zhen loudly: "Zhao Zhen, be careful, there are some baboons running towards you, be careful of those baboons."
Zhao Zhen's response came immediately below, saying: "I know, a few baboons can't do anything to me. But I found two corpses. Come down and take a look."
"What, a corpse? Why is there a corpse here?" I thought in confusion.
Zhang Liqun pulled me, and then the two of them slowly retreated to Zhao Zhen. Then they looked in the direction Zhao Zhen pointed, and sure enough they found two corpses hanging on the branches of the tree.
Looking at the corpse hanging on a tree branch not far away, I had some doubts. Turning my head, I said to Zhang Liqun and Zhao Zhen: "You two, wait for me, I will go over and take a look at those two corpses."
Zhao Zhen asked me puzzledly: "What do you see with the two corpses? Maybe they were left behind by people who came to fight upside down in ancient times." Zhang Liqun nodded and agreed with Zhao Zhen's statement.
"Although they are corpses from ancient times, these two people died under strange circumstances. Moreover, haven't you ever thought about it? We spent a lot of effort to find this place. How could anyone have been there before us?
"I asked, pointing to the two corpses hanging on the branches of the tree.
Zhao Zhen turned on the miner's lamp, looked at the two corpses carefully, and said, "Don't tell me, there is something really fishy."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'll go over and take a look at the two corpses first. Keep an eye on these baboons and don't let them come and cause trouble." After I ordered Zhao Zhen and Zhang Liqun, they crawled towards the two corpses.
Zhang Liqun and Zhao Zhen were relatively reliable. When I arrived at the two corpses safely, none of the baboons came to cause trouble. One or two were frightened back by Zhao Zhen with the knife in his hand.
After looking at the clothes on the two corpses, they should be from the Ming Dynasty. It can be judged that at least someone has been here in the Ming Dynasty.
"Strange, since someone can find this place, why are there no signs of being stolen from the tomb of Marquis Changxin and the tomb of Zhao Ji?"
"Didn't they follow the map clues to get here?"
I was very curious, so I looked carefully at the injuries of the two people. Because this place was a real dragon, it was full of dragon energy. After thousands of years, the corpses still did not turn into skeletons, but turned into mummies.
What was even more unexpected was that not a single wound was found on the two corpses.
But when I went down to look at them, I found that their backs were stabbed into their backs by a tree branch about the thickness of an arm. And when I looked at their puncture wounds, I didn't find any traces on their clothes.
A trace of blood.
"Obviously he died of excessive blood loss, but why was there no trace of a drop of blood underneath?" With doubts, I returned to Zhao Zhen and Zhang Liqun. When Zhao Zhen saw me coming back, Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked: "Did you find anything?"
"
I shook my head and said: "I didn't find anything useful, but I found that they all died of excessive blood loss, but I didn't see a drop of blood online."
After Zhang Liqun heard what I said, he exclaimed in shock: "Are they these baboons?"
I shook my head and said, "It can't be those baboons. Baboons are not carnivores."
"That's not certain. When I watched Man and Nature, there was a program on it that said orangutans eat baboons. Maybe these baboons are like those orangutans and may also eat meat." Zhao Zhen glanced at me to deny it.
My statement.
"Then you say..." Before I could finish my words, Zhao Zhen shouted to me: "Watch your back and get down." Before he could finish his words, an iron rod hit me. I hurriedly got down.
I lowered my body and was able to avoid his iron rod. I heard a "dong" sound and the iron rod hit the main trunk of the golden tree behind me.
I straightened up and cursed at Zhao Zhen: "You fucking wanted to kill me, so you suddenly hit me with a stick."
"I'm sorry, I just saw a baboon next to you trying to do you harm, so I hit it with a stick. Unexpectedly, the baboon reacted quickly and didn't hit you. Besides, didn't I warn you before I hit you?
Now, don’t be so angry." Zhao Zhen looked at me with a guilty look on his face and said.
"You..." I wanted to scold Zhao Zhen, but Zhang Liqun stopped me and said to us: "Just be quiet and listen to the echo inside the tree trunk."
After listening to Zhang Liqun's words, I doubtfully put my ear to the main trunk and listened. Sure enough, I heard echoes inside. But those echoes disappeared very quickly. I didn't hear it very accurately. I raised my head and said to Zhao Zhen.
"Smash the tree trunk again, hurry up." Zhao Zhen shouted, raised the stick in his hand, aimed it at the tree trunk and hit it hard again.
After Zhao Zhen took the stick away from the tree trunk, I quickly put my ear to it. The echo this time was obviously much louder than the last time.
I raised my head, glanced at Zhang Liqun, and said, "Is it empty inside?"
Zhang Liqun nodded to me and said, "I'm sure it's empty inside. I think the entrance should be on this golden tree."
