Except for me, everyone else felt strange after hearing the fat man's words.
What's going on with this man?
Why did this jade eyeball become yours?
What are you thinking?
I muttered in my heart: "If these archaeologists find out that we are in the business of touching the golden mound, it will be a big deal."
I stretched out my hand and gave the fat man a slap: "What the hell is there so much nonsense?
No one will treat you as a mute even if you say a few words.”
The fat man knew he had made a mistake, so he kept silent.
Fortunately, he was wearing a double-filter box gas mask on his face.
It was dark in the temple, so no one could see anyone's expression, and some unnecessary embarrassment was avoided. .
Professor Chen and his three students are all nerds.
What I'm most worried about is being discovered by Shirey Yang.
Her brain is many times better than mine, and her reactions are faster.
She can't hide it from her even if she shows some flaws.
Maybe she would have already It was obvious that Fatty and I were masters of reverse fighting, but we just didn't say it out loud.
Now that the matter was over, I no longer had to burden myself, so I stopped thinking about it and helped the fat man put the jade pendant on his jade eyeballs.
The pupils of the jade eyeball were facing upward, facing the ceiling.
The groove directly above seemed to match the piece of jade that Fatty had.
He changed the direction of the jade several times and finally aligned it.
It stuck in with a "click" sound.
The jade eyeball swayed and rolled.
Away from the previously fixed position, the ground was bare, and it was unknown what mechanism had just fixed the jade eye there.
I picked up the jade eyeball, handed it to Professor Chen, and asked him to look at it.
Shiry Yang Zhe lit up a fluorescent tube to illuminate Professor Chen.
Professor Chen took out a magnifying glass, turned it over and over for two or three minutes, and kept shaking his head: "I can't tell what this is for, but these jade eyes are as big as a person's head.
It is completely natural, with no trace of artificiality at all.
It can even be said that artificial technology would not have been able to create it two thousand years ago. " The ghost cave civilization of Jingjue Country is too mysterious.
Professor Chen and others have spent decades of hard work and have not mastered much information.
They only have a preliminary understanding of some ghost cave characters, symbols and history.
It is speculated that this is a nation that uses eyes as a totem for spiritual worship, or the judgment was made after arriving at the Black Tower.
At this moment, it is naturally impossible to explain what this mysterious jade eye is.
What can be determined at present is that this hall with sixteen giant stone pillars is a temple.
Since Jingjue Country regards eyes as the highest source of energy, it is natural to enshrine an eyeball in the temple.
But why the jade eye has a groove that perfectly matches the fat man's jade pendant, and why the jade eye originally fixed on the floor naturally fell off as soon as it was installed is beyond comprehension.
Professor Chen asked the fat man to tell the truth about the origin of his jade pendant.
There must be no concealment or exaggeration, and he must seek truth from facts.
The fat man has been self-employed for several years.
He usually brags and talks about mountains and mountains, and basically doesn't think twice.
He brags about whatever he catches up with.
Before coming to Xinjiang, he once told the professor and others that this piece of jade was obtained when he went to Xinjiang to fight bandits.
At that time, everyone laughed it off and no one took it seriously.
It was only because of the mysterious ghost cave inscriptions on the jade that they agreed to let him join the archaeological team and come to Xinjiang together.
Now being questioned, the fat man saw that everyone was taking the matter seriously, so he didn't dare to brag.
His knowledge of the origin of the jade was very limited, so he told the truth.
It turns out that the fat man’s father had participated in the revolution when he was fifteen years old, during the Jute Riots.

He had a comrade.
In the late period of the Liberation War, the two comrades who were originally in the same class had become far apart.
One was in the first field and the other was in the third field.
A senior commander at the level of column commander.
This comrade of Fatty's father led the troops through Niya on the southwest edge of the Taklimakan Desert when the People's Liberation Army entered Xinjiang.
On the way, they encountered a group of more than a hundred bandits.
At that time, the situation in Xinjiang was very complicated.
There were numerous stragglers from various armed forces, as well as large numbers of bandits, horse thieves, etc., so encounters between the People's Liberation Army and bandits were common.
After a short but fierce battle, the chief's security regiment took down this group.
The bandits were beaten to death and fled, and finally the jade pendant was found on the dead body of a black-bearded bandit leader.
There is no way to know the origin and purpose of this jade pendant.
Apart from the unusual color and texture, and some strange symbols engraved on it, there is nothing special about it, so I don't take it seriously.
Later, the chief heard that his old comrade had a fat boy, so he asked someone to give the jade he had obtained accidentally as a gift.
After the February reversal, Fatty's parents were affected and died one after another.
The chief in Xinjiang also passed away due to illness.
At that time, Fatty was only fifteen or sixteen years old, an age that four or six would not understand.
In the end, only these belongings were left in the family.
The piece of ancient jade was kept as if it were a treasure.
This was all he knew about the origin of this jade stone.
After hearing this, Professor Chen sighed: "It's a pity that these people are no longer here.
This exquisite piece of jade has changed hands several times, and its origin cannot be verified."
After saying this, he sighed, feeling very sorry that he could not understand the mystery of this jade eyeball.
Shiry Yang took the jade eye from the professor's hand and looked at it.
She concentrated on it and looked at it very carefully.
I saw that she had not spoken much since she entered the ancient city of Jingjue, and I thought that she might be worried because she had never found a trace of her father after seeing this ancient city.
Her father's explorers have been missing for more than a year.
It is extremely difficult to say whether they have arrived here.
Moreover, this place is located in a mountain pass with strong winds and sandstorms.
The entire city is buried in the desert by wind and sand countless times throughout the year.
It was blown out by the next wind.
We were extremely lucky to find it this time.
In this vast desert, finding a small expedition team is like finding a needle in a haystack, which is not easy.
She always held on to a glimmer of hope, and would always feel at ease when she saw the corpse.
The deeper she explored the ancient city of Jingjue, the stronger the sense of loss in her heart might be.
She saved my life in the valley, and I hope I can do something for her if I have the chance.
At this time, I saw that she was interested in this jade eyeball, and I thought it was a pity that the ancient jade belonged to the fat man.
If it was mine, I might as well give it to her.
At this time, before Shirey Yang had finished reading, the fat man was a little reluctant and reached out to get it.
Shirey Yang's hand holding the jade eye retracted back and said to the fat man: "What are you in a hurry?
I'll give it back to you after I finish reading it."
The fat man said: "Don't talk nonsense.
This jade belongs to our family.
What's wrong with making you look like a foreigner?
I'm afraid you won't be able to pull it out."
He grabbed the jade eye with his hand and took it back.

When I saw this, I quickly tried to dissuade him: "You two, don't fight.
Don't fight.
Can you give me some face as the captain?
I'll make the decision.
Let Miss Yang watch for five minutes first."
I was afraid that Fatty and Shiry Yang would get into an argument and break the jade eyeball, so while talking, I reached out to press the jade eyeball in their hands.
Unexpectedly, when they saw me interfering, they didn't want to fight for it anymore, and they both let go. .
I only stretched out one hand and held it down from above.
The jade eye was round and big, slippery and difficult to hold.
The jade eyeball fell heavily to the ground and broke into eight pieces with a snap. .
Everyone stared at me, Professor Chen was trembling all over and pointed at me: "You, you, you, you" for a long time, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
I couldn't argue and waved my hands repeatedly: "I'm not me.
Isn't this a good intention?
I didn't expect it to be so weak."
As I spoke, I reached out to pick up the jade fragments on the ground.
I prayed secretly in my heart that it would be better if it could stick to it.
I had to get up and restore it, otherwise they would ask me to compensate.
This is a priceless treasure.
Even if they dismantle me and sell it in pieces, they can't afford the compensation.
I was really a little anxious and confused at that time, and my brain was confused.
I forgot whether I was praying to God or Buddha.
Maybe it was because I didn’t have a fixed belief, so the effect of prayer was not obvious.
The jade eyes were not light, and the ground The stone bricks were so hard that some were broken into pieces.
I scratched on the ground for a long time, but I couldn't find all the pieces.
The fat man said: "Okay, Old Hu, if you drop it, just drop it and don't pick it up."
As he said that, he grabbed my arm and tried to pull me to stand up.
I squatted for a little longer, and because I was anxious, the equipment in the geological bag behind me was heavy.
The fat man pulled me, and I lost my footing and fell to the ground.
I struggled to get up, and inadvertently looked up and saw an eye the size of a washbasin on the roof of the temple in the dim light, shining with a strange light, staring at us.
When we came in, we took a cursory look at the surrounding environment, but we didn't take a closer look at the darkness above.
No one noticed when such a large and moving eyeball came out.
I hurriedly shined my flashlight upwards.
Although the temple was high, the top of the temple should be within the range of my flashlight.
Who knew that as soon as the flashlight shone on it, the light column seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, except for the huge The eyeballs were covered with red threads, and the rest of the roof was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
The remaining six people also saw the huge strange eye above their heads.
Everyone felt bad, fearing that the strange eye would fall and hurt themselves, so they all stepped back.
We saw the giant eye turning around in mid-air, and then landed on the ground.
Now we all saw clearly that although this thing looked like an eyeball, it was actually a translucent flesh ball, with the outside covered entirely in bluish white.
A large mass of dark matter is wrapped in the middle.
It would be strange not to think of it as an eyeball at a glance.
When the fat man saw this weird and abnormal meat ball, he panicked.
He put the assault rifle on his back in his hand and prepared to shoot.
I quickly held down his arm and said, "Don't act rashly."
Before we could figure out what this thing was, the giant eye-like flesh ball suddenly burst open, and hundreds of entangled black strange snakes flowed out.
These strange snakes were the same ones we saw in Zagrama Mountain.

It was the same as before, with black scales all over its body, only a few dozen centimeters in length, and a black sarcoma on the top of its head.
Piles of strange snakes squirmed together, and their bodies were covered with sticky transparent liquid, as if they had just hatched from eggs.
They were indescribably disgusting, and everyone's scalps went numb when they saw them, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back. .
The statue of the patron saint with a snake body and a human head that we have seen in the black tower also has such a black ball on its head.
At that time, Professor Chen speculated that the black ball was an eye.
No wonder Shiry Yang used a flashlight in the valley at an emergency Saved my life.
It seems that the sarcoma on the snake's head, if not the eyes, is extremely sensitive to light sources.
Who dared to delay at this time, Fatty and I stood in front of everyone, taking advantage of the opportunity to shoot these black snakes while they were still entangled together.
They have extremely strong vitality, and they can still hurt people with only one head left.
I shot while He called Chu Jian to the gun, poured the solid fuel on it, and lit it to completely burn them to death.
The firelight illuminated the temple, which was full of large stone pillars, and hundreds of black snakes were burned to charcoal before they could show their fangs.
I let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I took the initiative.
Is the appearance of these black snakes related to the fact that I broke the jade eyeball?
Or maybe the jade eye is a sacrificial weapon.
Put the piece of ancient jade on the jade eye and it's done.
He performed some kind of ritual to guide these strange snakes out of the so-called imaginary number space.
No matter what it is, if you see this kind of jade eyeball in the future, you must not take it lightly.
I asked everyone to check the surroundings, lest there be any fish that slipped through the net, and carefully looked at the roof.
There were flat stone bricks everywhere, and I really couldn't figure out where the snake eggs like big eyeballs came from.
This careful inspection does not matter, as expected, we discovered something unusual.
There are sixteen giant stone pillars in the temple.
Each stone pillar has a pattern of six eyes on its body.
The bases of the stone pillars are all regular hexagons.
Among them There are five sides, each side is carved with a small symbol, each of which is different, namely a hungry ghost, a sheep head, a barbarian, a man with giant eyes, and a guardian beast.
The other side is empty.
These stone pillars attracted our attention.
Professor Chen wrote down the orientation and types of these symbols one by one, and asked us to turn the hexagonal stone base under the stone pillars.
After a try, it turned out that there was a stone trough underneath, and the pillar body.
Separate, with just a little force, you can spin.
The professor said that it seems that these are buildings with large stone pillars.
They are a temple used for worship, and it is a multi-functional place for worship.
The hexagonal symbol at the bottom of the pillar indicates its function.
These stone pillars are in groups of four.
The current arrangement is that the symbols of the patron saint are crossed and facing each other.
The jade eyeball just now is a sacrificial artifact, and the ancient jade of the fat man is the magic weapon that initiates the ceremony.
It is not ruled out that there are other magic tools. device possibilities.
As for how this magic weapon strayed outside, I'm afraid there will never be an answer.
Maybe there were tomb robbers and expedition teams that entered the temple of this ancient country of Jingjue.
Maybe it was those who resisted Queen Jingjue two thousand years ago.
The slaves of the ruler have stolen and there is no way to know.
It can be inferred that once the magic weapon is connected, the strange snake regarded as the patron saint can be summoned to come out and enjoy the sacrifice.
Moreover, this is a multi-functional temple because there are not only high-status guardian gods on the stone pillars, but also slaves, livestock, and evil spirits at the lowest level.
The temple may also be used to suppress evil spirits and punish slaves.
Such rituals.

Different ritual objects are determined through the changes in the arrangement of symbols under the stone pillars.
Shiry Yang asked: "Professor, this temple should be as important as the palace.
Is there a secret passage here, connected to the underground palace?
Let's look around, okay?
Now Xiaoye is not in good health, and we must find the water in the underground palace as soon as possible.
The pulse will do.”
Professor Chen said: "I can guarantee that there must be such a secret passage, but since it is a secret passage and the temple is so large, where can we find it in three hours?"
The fat man interjected: "Two shopkeepers, as the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters with them.
You probably don't know how capable Lao Hu and I are.
Don't we have so many Soviet yellow explosives?
You guys go out for a while, and I'll blow up the tunnel and let you see what we can do."
Professor Chen waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't act recklessly.
These are relics of ancient civilization.
It is a crime to destroy a brick."
I thought to myself that I had broken the jade eyeball just now, and now was my chance to atone for my sins.
The world's mountains, rivers, geography, and five elements of feng shui were all in my chest.
How difficult was it to find a secret passage?
So I said to them: "I see this The arrangement of the sixteen stone pillars of the temple is the same as the arrangement of the sixteen dragons that penetrate the ground.
This arrangement coincides with the number of giant doors.
This mechanism was used in ancient tombs in the Han Dynasty.
It was arranged by Guan before.
I watched the situation around the ancient city from the black tower.
It was indeed a good location.
It can be seen that Queen Jingjue is also an expert in metaphysics.
You might as well try it and find one using the technique of dividing gold and fixing acupuncture points.
We may be able to find a secret passage by looking for a passage in the temple, but I am just learning this method.
If I can’t find it, we will find another way.”
After hearing this, everyone agreed and waited quietly to watch.
I walked to the center of the temple and looked at the stone pillars around me.
In fact, the arrangement of the sixteen dragon pillars through the ground is not too difficult.
It is nothing more than a variation of the five elements and twenty-four directions.
It is just a slight change for different locations and occasions. , walked back and forth between the stone pillars several times, making secret calculations in his heart.
The sixteen dragons that penetrate the earth are actually snakes.
There is a saying in the secret technique of sixteen-character yin and yang feng shui: the snake is erratic, suddenly moving north and south.
Among these sixteen, only one that passes through the earth's veins is a real dragon.
It sounds simple, but it took a lot of thinking to actually use it, and finally the target was locked on the four floor tiles deep in the temple.
I knocked it with a small geological hammer and found that three of them were solid, and only one gave out an empty echo.
The edge of this two-meter-square stone brick did not have any wear and tear caused by frequent driving.
It seems that few people use this passage.
However, unless you use explosives, you will definitely not be able to pry it open.
The nearest stone pillar is the mechanism.
I don’t know if this mechanism is still working.
I called the fat man to come over and help.
I put my hand on the hexagonal stone trough under the stone pillar.
If I turned in the wrong direction and triggered some mechanism, the situation was over, so I asked Professor Chen and others to retreat outside the temple and wiped their heads.

With beads of sweat, he told the fat man to put the empty side first, then It must be the stone brick in the secret passage, and then prepare to turn it five squares clockwise, one square in the opposite direction, then eleven squares clockwise, and then two squares in the opposite direction, no more at one time, no less at one time, otherwise What will happen is hard to say.
The fat man said: "Old Hu, you think I don't know how to count.
My grades were much better than yours when I was in school.
Stop talking nonsense and transfer."
I silently recited the mantra in the secret technique in my mind: "Looking for a dragon from a thousand miles away, look for it on the left and right, follow the Yang in five steps, follow the Yin in one of them, turn around."
The two of them used their strength to turn the hexagonal stone trough.
After turning one square, they counted them together.
After turning the last square, they heard a clicking sound, and the stone bricks on the ground sank, revealing a bottomless path. typical
