Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Bronze Mirror

The beam of flashlight shone in the opposite direction of the giant bronze man, and gradually disappeared. There were sporadic gunshots from the depths of the castle, and it was impossible to judge who was victorious by hearing the sound. The mummy climbed to the top of the bronze steps and turned over on top of the giant bronze man's head. The leader, Bai Keli, bowed his body and fiddled with the bronze man's head for a long time. Most of his body was blocked by the bronze man, and Yuan Sen couldn't see what he was doing. what. Yuan Sen hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to chase the shooter or stay and stare at the mummy to see what they were going to do.

He could tell that the person who called just now was none other than Ekailamu who had followed him through life and death, from Huoyanshan to Ashan.He really didn't expect Akailam to appear here. He was so excited that he felt warm instantly. The gunshots came from far to near, and Yuan Sen judged from the sound of footsteps that there were more than five people involved in the chase. They were mixed together, and the beams of light were chaotic, and they were running towards them. Yuan Sen couldn't tell who they were, so he didn't dare to shoot to help. The fat man dragged Adili's body behind the bronze pillar, hugging the body and crying loudly, like a dead relative.At this moment, Yuan Sen was not in the mood to comfort him, nor was he in the mood to ask what was the relationship between him and Adili.

Another shot was fired, and Ai Kailam suddenly yelled: "The grandson who put the gun down has been shot, please give me the knife quickly." Hearing the sound of "poof", Ai Kailam laughed loudly, and a beam of light shot straight at Yuan Sen. Yuan Sen blocked the light with his hands, and Ai Kailam shouted loudly: "Brother Yuan, why are you still hiding, Ai Kailamu?" Master has settled on the surname Song." Yuan Sen was overjoyed and said, "Ai Kailam, how do you know I'm here?" Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "I don't know what you are here, what is Master Ai doing in this place where no shit is done?"

Yuan Sen ran over, and Ai Kaila couldn't help but feel complacent, and suddenly a woman said coldly: "He is not Song Qing, we were deceived." The woman's voice was cold and without any emotion. This person was none other than the cold-eyed and mysterious engineer assistant Wang Hui.Afterwards, Bahar Guli and Special Forces expert Kang Basa also jumped out, pulling Yuan Sen to ask questions. Yuan Sen was extremely curious about how this group of people got together.Bahargul talked fast, and explained the situation in three sentences. All of this was expected by Dr. Tian. In order to reveal the secret of the bronze sheep, he asked Ai Kailam and the others to go deep into the underground museum secretly to find out the secrets, so he went to With the scene in front of me.

Wang Hui held up a bleeding head, looked up and down, threw it to Ai Kaila and said: "Even if Song Qing can disguise again, this person will definitely not be him." Ai Kaila turned his hands and threw his head on the ground, dissatisfied: "Why are you so sure?" Wang Hui pointed at the giant bronze figure and said, "Where did the leader's mummy go?" Yuan Sen saw that apart from Bekley, the other mummies were still standing on the steps blankly, as if they were in meditation.Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart, Bekley had been tumbling about something on top of the bronze man, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

Ai Kailam slapped his head, and suddenly realized: "We have been tricked by the boy surnamed Song again. The mummy headed by him is his real body. His mother's old man has been deceived by him a hundred and eighty times. He must tidy up to relieve his anger." Listening to their conversation, Yuan Sen was stunned for a while, and Ai Kailam took up his miniature submachine gun and fired at the group of mummies, shouting: "You play tricks, Master Ai will send you to hell with your own hands, and it's okay to fulfill your wishes. " Yuan Sen remembered that in the concave hole at the top of the steps, he shot Bai Keli in the head, and Bai Keli was still very vigorous, which showed that the bullet had no effect on the mummy.This alone proves that they were not people, but mummies.

Akailamu shot, and the mummies on the bronze steps fled indiscriminately, with extreme agility. In a short while, more than a dozen mummies fell under Akailamu's bullets. Yuan Sen was very strange, and asked Ai Kailam what was going on, Ai Kailam said: "Brother Yuan, you are such a shrewd person, you must have missed it. What kind of mummies are all mazes made by that kid Song Qing. They are fake. They are all living people, and the people in his advance team are not dead at all." Wang Huidao: "We haven't found out his real identity yet. We don't know anything except that he came for the bronze sheep."

Yuan Sen recalled that when he and Sikaire Khan found the first bronze figure, Song Qing appeared behind him silently, whispered, and disappeared as soon as he turned his head.What was even more frightening was that Sikaire Khan was by his side and didn't even hear their conversation.Thinking of this incredible scene, he broke out in a cold sweat. Ai Kaila said woodenly: "Song Qing disappeared on top of the bronze man, the problem must be there, let's go and have a look, and don't let him run away." Everyone climbed up the bronze steps. The mummy's blood stained the steps everywhere. They avoided the blood and climbed to the top of the bronze steps. They saw a big hole in the top of the giant bronze man's head. A large copper plate was placed beside the hole. A thick black chain was tied to the hole, and it went so deep that Yuan Sen couldn't reach the bottom with a flashlight.

Without saying a word, Kang Basa grabbed the chain with thick arms and got into the belly of the bronze man. He slid down for about 20 minutes, and flashed his flashlight three times as a signal, and the others went down one by one.When it was Fatty's turn, Fatty hesitated and refused to go down, and Yuan Sen didn't force him.He knew that Fatty and Song Qing had internal strife. This person was honest and timid by nature, so he probably wouldn't do anything bad, so he left him on top, gave him two flashlights and a gun, and asked him to fire a warning shot when he was in trouble. At that time, they will send someone to rescue him, don't be surprised.

The fat man agreed one by one, and honestly hid in the pit on the top floor to rest.The cold wind in the castle was getting stronger, and there was a whining sound, like a ghost crying at night. Yuan Sen got into the belly of the bronze man with a cat waist, and slid along the chain to the end. The castle is 100 meters above the ground.Yuan Sen went down to the ground, was caught by Kang Basa, and helped him to the side. Ai Kailam and the others were already waiting there. Yuan Sen looked around, and saw that Kangbasa, Baharguli, and Wang Hui were all there, and there was a large area of ​​darkness all around, and the outline of the mountain wall could be vaguely seen.He took a flashlight and looked forward, and there were several pit-like things in the distance, and the inside was snow-white.Stimulated by the mummy, he was a little nervous.

Ai Kaila said: "We just assigned Kang Basa to conduct reconnaissance, but we didn't find any trace of the grandson surnamed Song. Now we will wait for you, Brother Yuan, to arrive at the scene and make unified dispatch and command to try to capture the bandit leader Song Qing in one fell swoop. Good news to old man Tian." Kang Basa added: "The scope of the reconnaissance is not very far. There is a corridor in front, and there are deep pits on both sides. Many bones are buried in the pit, including animals and people." In front of where they sheltered was a two-meter-wide corridor. After walking for a while, pits of different sizes appeared on both sides of the corridor. There were many bones in the pit, animal and human bones piled together.Yuan Sen soon discovered a problem. The human bones in the pit were much larger than ordinary human bones, like the skeleton of a giant.The metacarpal bone alone is more than twice as large as that of a normal male, and the spine and pelvis are even more obvious. When he raised this question, Wang Hui said, "If my guess is correct, this should be the burial place of Civilization X." "The Boneyard?" Wang Huidao: "According to research, X civilization is a period of civilization that appeared between Xia and Shang. Its civilization traces from Shandan in the Hexi Corridor to Hami, leaving many incredible things on the civilization line of thousands of kilometers. Modern western exploration The scientists gathered in Central Asia, only to discover the existence of Civilization X by accident. An authoritative explorer who studies Civilization X infers from the fragments of civilization that Civilization X has a mysterious burial place, which is mysterious and unpredictable. The ultimate treasure." "Treasure?" Akaila's eyes lit up. "Civilization X is a matriarchal society. Their rulers are women. Men are only responsible for hunting and hunting, and women dominate everything. In the fragments of civilization they left behind, there is almost no record of men. All sacrificial activities and major decisions revolve around They are almost a nation of giants. It is speculated that the height of civilization X is between two and three meters. They worship the sun, build many sun tombs and strange stone valleys, and possess advanced metallurgical technology. The most incredible thing is that the level of science and technology of civilization X is much higher than that of the Central Plains civilization at that time. The development of civilization comes from communication, and a closed clan society develops so fast that explorers are helpless and unable to understand." "Civilization X only existed for about 500 years in history. It disappeared overnight in the early Shang Dynasty. No one knew where they went. Only fragments of civilization that shocked the world were left behind. The fragments recorded the crystallization of civilization that can be called a miracle. .” "The miracle of civilization X is the treasure that can see the ultimate human civilization?" Yuan Sen said. "Yes, back then a large number of Western explorers gathered in Xinjiang and tried to find the treasures of Civilization X, including Sven Hedin and Stein, but they all failed. The miracle of Civilization X became a hot topic among explorers for a while. They vowed to find the burial place of Civilization X at all costs. After half a century, Yao Lebosi, the leader of the bandit in Xinjiang, accidentally found a clue. People have dug all around Yiwu County, but it is not known whether Yaole Bosi finally found the place where the bones are buried." After listening to Wang Hui's introduction, Yuan Sen immediately began to doubt the information provided by Song Qing.According to Song Qing, the burial site of Civilization X was accidentally discovered by an archaeological team. The reason why the burial site was so deeply hidden by an ordinary archaeological team is very far-fetched. The burial ground of Civilization X can be found, and huge sums of money can be spent to protect it. There must be extremely complicated reasons behind it. The more Yuan Sen thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was unbelievable. He seemed to have stumbled into a big puzzle unintentionally. The deeper he dug, the more complicated the conspiracy. What is the fundamental connection between Civilization X and the demise of Loulan? Ai Kailam suddenly yelled: "Look, look, there is a flashlight in front of you, it's probably that kid named Song." Only then did Yuan Sen wake up, and a beam of light lit up in the depths of the corridor. Due to the distance, the beam of light looked like a speck in the darkness.The blob moved slowly, always spinning upwards, as if flying in mid-air. Ai Kailam waved at Yuan Sen: "Go over and see, what the hell is that kid surnamed Song doing?" They ran for a long time on the corridor, and gradually they could see clearly Song Qing who was climbing up in mid-air. Song Qing seemed to be struggling, and he had to rest for a long time. There was a dark thing under him, and he couldn't see what it was. . Ai Kailam took out his gun to aim, and said to Yuan Sen: "Brother Yuan, I saw that I shot down this bad bird with one shot. Master Ai is hungry, so I will also give him a live stew to fill his stomach." Yuan Sen lowered the gun and said, "Don't mess around, he is the one who knows the secrets of the Boneyard the most. Let's see what he is doing first, and then we will wait for the opportunity." They ran faster until they entered the effective range of the flashlight, and suddenly found that what Song Qing was climbing was a huge bronze goat.The bronze goat stepped forward with both legs, straightened its back, and turned its huge head back. Its eyes were extremely coquettish, and under the stimulation of the flashlight, there was a layer of oily green luster.A pair of horns of the bronze sheep held a disc-shaped thing, which looked strange, and it was unknown what it was. When Yuan Sen saw the Bronze Sheep, he immediately understood that the information provided by Song Qing was very problematic.At first, he thought that the bronze sheep in the underground museum was only the size of an ornament, and he could take it away with his hand. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a huge ancient object, which he did not expect at all. The whole body of the bronze sheep is dark, and where the flashlight is swept over, there will be a layer of golden luster, like a golden thread sliding across the body of the bronze sheep.Song Qing had already climbed onto the horns of the bronze sheep. Like a koala, he grasped the bronze horns with all fours and slowly moved upwards.The bronze horns were as thick as copper pillars, and extremely slippery. Song Qing crawled carefully and slowly. The horns descended to a height of tens of meters, and if they fell by a slight error, they would surely be crushed to pieces. Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "The kid surnamed Song wants to climb on that copper plate?" Yuan Sen said: "It looks like it is." Ai Kaila asked: "Is he crazy? After careful observation, Mr. Ai concluded that the copper plate is just a very ordinary bronze plate. What is he doing up there, wanting to stand high and jump far?" Yuan Sen recalled the horror stories of the successive deaths of the archaeologists who discovered the bronze goat, so he said to Wang Hui, "It was an archaeological team that first discovered the bronze ibex. Do you have any information about that archaeological team?" Wang Hui frowned and thought for a while, then said: "This archaeological team does exist. Not long after, all the members of the archaeological team died unexpectedly. The family's version is that they dug up an artifact and everyone who saw it died." Yuan Sen pondered for a while, and said: "The information Song Qing gave me also said that after the archaeological team discovered the bronze sheep, they all died unexpectedly. In the week before their death, they all saw the scene of their own death, and they also left I got the photos of the scene, but I couldn’t escape the curse of death. Is this part of the information true?” Wang Huidao: "All the archaeologists who discovered the Bronze Sheep died unexpectedly. This is true, but the Bronze Sheep can predict the future, and I have not obtained such information." Yuan Sen thought about it carefully, not only was Song Qing's identity mysterious, but the information he provided was also difficult to distinguish between true and false. The death curse of the Bronze Sheep may not be true.However, it has been confirmed that the real bronze sheep of Civilization X is the giant bronze sheep in front of us, and the archaeological team has absolutely no way to remove it.In other words, the archaeological team must have been here when they saw their own death through the bronze sheep, and it is very likely that they climbed the bronze sheep. Song Qing climbed to the top of the bronze sheep's horns, turned over on the copper plate, untied the seat belt and threw it aside, lying on the copper plate very religiously.Yuan Sen's flashlight moved around his body, but he didn't notice it. He just stared at the things on the copper plate and kept moving, as if appreciating a peerless treasure. Yuan Sen and the others walked near the Bronze Sheep, and suddenly found that there was an abyss tens of meters wide between the Bronze Sheep and the corridor.The Bronze Sheep stood like an isolated island in the middle of the abyss. The wind in the abyss was bleak and chilled to the bone, and Ekailam involuntarily took a few steps back. Yuan Sen found a row of broken iron chains near the corridor, and immediately understood, saying: "There used to be an iron chain pontoon bridge between the corridor and the Bronze Sheep. Song Qing blew it up to prevent us from chasing it." Ai Kailam jumped up and cursed: "This pig, the floating bridge exploded, how did he come back by himself?" Wang Hui said, "Maybe, he didn't even think about coming back." Yuan Sen suddenly raised his head and saw Song Qing standing up from the copper plate. He turned his head and looked at the people on the edge of the cliff, his eyes were very strange, and Yuan Sen secretly yelled.Song Qing looked at them for a moment, then looked up to the vast abyss and laughed loudly. The laughter was full of despair and sadness, which made people get goosebumps.Song Qing laughed for a long time, and then cried on the copper plate. Ai Kailamu pulled Yuan Sen and said, "Is that kid surnamed Song crazy?" Song Qing suddenly stood up again, bowed and jumped off the copper plate.His figure drew a graceful arc in the flashlight, and then fell into the vast abyss. Song Qing's desperate and sad wry laugh from the depths of the abyss took a long time to dissipate, like a voice from hell. The people on the edge of the abyss watched Song Qing's series of actions and were stunned. They never dreamed that Song Qing's ending would be like this.There are some questions in everyone's mind: what did he see on the copper plate, what prompted him to fall into the abyss, what is the treasure in the Boneyard of Civilization X? The cold wind from the abyss blew up, shaking everyone, and the broken iron chain hit the cliff with a dull sound, Yuan Sen fell into confusion for a moment.The mystery of the Bronze Sheep was not solved, and Song Qing died unexpectedly. The mystery of Loulan's destruction and the clues of Professor Yang Jian's disappearance were interrupted. All his hopes came to an end, and everything was in vain.He felt very uncomfortable at this moment, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the mysterious bronze sheep, he really had the urge to jump. Ai Kailam said: "Don't we think of a way to go and look at the copper plate of the bronze sheep? If you can't get the treasure, it's always good to have a look." Wang Hui sighed and said: "It is impossible to repair the pontoon bridge. Maybe we can only wait and see at a close distance to discover the secret of the bronze sheep. This time it is impossible." Ai Kailam shrugged and made a helpless and unwilling gesture. Wang Hui said to Yuan Sen: "Mr. Yuan, have you thought about a question?" Yuan Sen came to his senses and looked at Wang Hui blankly. Wang Hui said, "Based on the information we have so far, all the people who came into contact with the bronze sheep died. Isn't that strange?" Yuan Sen raised the flashlight and found the large copper plate above the bronze sheep's head in the dark. He fixed the aperture on the copper plate, and the aperture was suddenly turned and tilted upwards, pointing to the air. Yuan Sen was startled. Wang Hui, who was always calm, exclaimed, "My God, that's a mirror." Everyone was shocked. Song Qing moved around on the copper plate, but he was actually looking in the mirror. What did he see in the mirror that caused him to jump off the cliff in despair? Yuan Sen recalled the comparison photos that Song Qing showed him. They were very old photos. The photo paper was very dark yellow and the edges were very hairy. In terms of age, it must be worthy of the era of the archaeological team. , that is to say, those photos are real.The shooting time on each photo is automatically stamped and cannot be faked. That is to say, does the saying that the Bronze Sheep can predict the future really exist? Yuan Sen stared at the mirror on the bronze sheep's horns. The beam of light from the flashlight was reflected by the copper mirror, coating the night sky with a layer of golden luster. It was very mysterious and made people yearn for it.An impulse surged up in Yuan Sen's heart, wishing he could climb up to see that weird bronze mirror with his own eyes. He kept asking himself, is it really this ancient bronze mirror that can see the ultimate treasure of human civilization? No one can give him an answer.If he can know the answer to the ancient bronze mirror and the whereabouts of Professor Yang Jian, it should be easier, right?
