Well, I'll listen to her this time, and I'll jump first. The height of four meters is nothing to the two of us, and we landed easily, shining the flashlight in the direction where the figure disappeared. There are stone walls on all sides, and a tunnel in front. The road above is complicated, and it's obviously a prank, and there's another world below, and it's hard to say whether it's really a secret passage leading to the outside.
After entering the tunnel, we could no longer see the figure. We didn't know how long we had to walk. The flashlight battery was running out of power, and the red light was not very bright, so we asked Shen Bing to turn off her flashlight as a backup. The headlights we bought in Taiyuan were all on Wang Zijun. I regretted not asking for one first and putting it in my bag.
This tunnel is not very long, only about seven or eight meters. After exiting the tunnel, there is a vast space in front of you, and you can't see the end at all. I guess the whole mountain has been hollowed out. This is a real big deal. Apart from the Li Tang family back then, who else can have such financial resources
As we walked forward, the ground became lower and lower, and the shadow of a building appeared in front of us. Shen Bing and I looked at each other, and suddenly we felt excited. Could it be that this is an ancient tomb where members of the Li Tang family are buried? If so, we will be rich. If we take a few burial objects back, it will be enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives!
You see, this person was clearly cursing how shameful tomb robbers were before, digging up graves and stealing other people's things, but when he encountered this himself, why did he become tempted by money and property
Alas, the saying that people die for money and birds die for food is really true. If you can't get your hands on something, then you will definitely not be able to eat the grapes and say that the grapes are rotten. If he really saw the treasures all over the ground, do you think he would not be tempted? He would have to tear off the false mask of false nobleness and fight for it with his life rather than anyone else!
While I was thinking, I arrived in front of the building. Oh my God, when Shen Bing and I saw this building, our mouths opened wide. For a long time, no one could breathe a sigh of relief.
This is a tall city gate, more than 10 meters high. Since the terrain is very low here, it is probably more than 10 meters from the top, so there is enough space to build such a tall building. The tower, the city wall, the city gate, the drawbridge and the moat are all complete. Although we don't know if the buildings inside are as spectacular as the city gate, this city gate alone is enough to shock us.
This is simply an underground city. It is not an easy task to transport the necessary materials to the hollowed-out mountain to build such a huge structure.
There are words on the gate, but it's too high and the lights are dim. I jumped up a few times but couldn't see it clearly. There was a gurgling sound in the moat. There was actually a source of living water flowing here. Damn it, the people who built this city really took great pains. This must be the stream water from the mountains. We squatted by the river and washed our faces. I still feel sick after being splashed with blood and flesh.
I scooped up a handful of water and drank it. It was clear, sweet and refreshing.
While drinking water, Shen Bing asked me, "Why build such a city underground? Isn't it just for the money?"
You know what she said, it makes sense. Ancient people knew how to squander money. For example, when building a tomb, they built it like a palace. Take this underground city gate for example, it is completely useless and is just a vanity project. It is indeed a waste of money.
"Never mind, let's go into the city to look for treasure!" I stood up and said.
When Shen Bing heard the word treasure hunting, her eyes lit up immediately. To say that we were going in to look for treasures was too low-class, but treasure hunting showed that we were full of the adventurous spirit of archaeology. Changing the word would give us a completely different artistic conception!
The drawbridge was down and the city gate was open, so we didn't hesitate and walked into the city holding hands.
