Chapter 68 Jade Eyeball
After a day and night of repairs, the energy of everyone in the archaeological team was restored to their best condition.
Because there is no problem of lack of drinking water for the time being, two professors, Chen Jiuren and Hao Aiguo, led three students to conduct an investigation and record of the entire Jingjue ancient city site. Shirley Yang followed them to take photos, and Hu Bayi and Wang
The two people in Triumph are responsible for protection.
Zhang Jin had nothing to do, listening to classes with Professor Chen and others to increase his knowledge, while looking for the temple in the plot.
The plot does not describe in detail the action route of the archaeological team after entering the ancient city of Jingjue. The only clue is that the eye-shaped stone sculpture on the top of a certain building corresponds to a straight line with the valley of Zagrama Mountain, and the temple of the ancient city of Jingjue is located there.
This line is at the other end opposite to Zagrama Mountain.
It's hard to find, but easy to find. As long as you find the eye-shaped stone carving on the roof of the building, you can find the temple. After following Professor Chen and others around the ancient city of Jingjue, Zhang Jin discovered the eyes.
Shaped stone carvings and found the corresponding temple location.
In the evening, in front of the campfire, the archaeological team and others discussed the harvest during the day.
Chen Jiuren said happily: "This time we have completed the measurement and inspection records of the Jingjue Ancient City ruins, which will be of great help to future research. Next time we come back, we can carry out more professional research with appropriate tools and equipment.
Archaeological research."
Hao Aiguo said with some regret: "It's a pity that most of the ancient city of Jingjue has been buried under the yellow sand, otherwise we can restore the building based on its general shape."
Ye Yixin said: "It's okay, teacher, we'll still have a chance next time we come."
Shirley Yang was more concerned about the tomb of Queen Jingjue and asked: "Professor Chen, have you found the entrance to the tomb of Queen Jingjue?"
Hu Bayi is concerned about the issue of water sources: "We don't have much drinking water now. If we want to return, we must find water sources to replenish it. I went around with Fatty today and found no obvious places where water sources may exist. No.
Professor, do you know if you have discovered anything?"
Chen Jiuren thought for a while and said: "Shrines, many temples in the Western Regions have underground palaces. There must be underground water in the underground palaces."
Wang Kaixuan asked: "Where is the temple? This ruins are all buried under the yellow sand. There is no trace of a temple at all."
Chen Jiuren said: "Half of the temples are in the center of the city."
"Professor, what you said is not in vain. The ancient city of Jingjue is buried like this. Where can we find the city center?" Wang Kaixuan said.
Hu Bayi poked the fat man with a warning look in his eyes and said: "It's better to have a direction than no direction. The center of the city is such a big place, are you afraid that you won't be able to find it?"
"No, I'm not worried!" Wang Kaixuan quickly diverted the trouble, "Why don't we ask Master Zhang, maybe he has already figured it out."
Zhang Jin originally planned to tell everyone about this, but when he saw that the topic was about him, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Yes, I have found the temple."
"Look, what did I say?" Wang Kaixuan asked for credit.
Hu Bayi said: "Now that we have found the temple, let's have a good rest tonight and set out immediately tomorrow morning to search for water in the temple and underground palace."
Shirley Yang added: "There is also the search for the tomb of Queen Jingjue."
After eating and drinking, everyone lay down to rest.
The next day, it was bright and clear.
The archaeological team got up to have breakfast, and after sorting out their equipment, they rested. An Liman watched over the camel team alone, while the others followed Zhang Jin to the temple.
Under the leadership of Zhang Jin, everyone quickly entered the temple from an inconspicuous entrance.
"The ground and pillars are all black and eerie." Wang Kaixuan looked around with a flashlight.
Chen Jiuren explained: "The black stones here are all transported from Cishan. It's not surprising that you think it's eerie."
The archaeological team was immediately attracted by the lifelike carved stone pillars on both sides of the temple, and admired the superb skills of the exquisite craftsmen of the country.
Zhang Jin patiently waited for these archaeologists to complete their research on the stone pillars before calling everyone to the top stone platform.
"Whose eyes are these!?" A trace of nervousness flashed across Ye Yixin's face.
"Could it be Queen Jingjue's?" Chu Jian guessed.
"Queen Jingjue's eyes are so big, is she an alien?" Sa Di Peng said.
Zhang Jin shook his head: "No, this is an eyeball carved from a piece of jade."
"Jade? How much is such a large piece of jade worth?" Wang Kaixuan's eyes were deeply attracted by the jade eyeballs.
"It's completely natural! It's so surprising!" Chen Jiuren exclaimed.
Hao Aiguo took out his notebook and started recording: "Teacher, it seems that we can confirm that the Guidong tribe uses eyes as totems. This is really a major breakthrough in the study of ancient Western civilization! Xiao Sa, Chu Jian, don't be stunned, hurry up and take photos and record them
ah!"
While several people were busy, Zhang Jin said to Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, take out your jade pendant."
"What do you want my jade pendant for?" Wang Kaixuan asked.
"Are the grooves on the jade eyeball similar to your jade pendant?" Zhang Jin pointed to the jade eyeball.
The situation also attracted the attention of others.
Wang Kaixuan took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck and placed it in the groove of the jade eyeball. He heard the sound of moving stones and the stone platform where the jade eyeball was placed shook.
Zhang Jin took two steps back and looked under the stone platform. Sure enough, it was a bit higher than before. He pointed at the stone platform and said: "If I am not mistaken, this stone platform is the mechanism that opens the secret passage to the underground palace.
"
"How do I turn on the mechanism? Do I need to take away the jade eyeball?" Wang Kaixuan's mind was still focused on the treasure.
"Don't!" Zhang Jin quickly stopped him.
Although he didn't know whether the black snakes falling from the temple's ceiling in the plot were related to the broken jade eyeballs, he didn't dare to try. In the plot, the archaeological team was not killed or injured under the black group attack. That depends on
The halo of the protagonist, but I can’t say for sure now.
"Do you know how to turn on the mechanism?" Shirley Yang seemed to have guessed something.
Zhang Jin nodded, and then said to Hu Bayi: "The arrangement of the sixteen stone pillars in this temple is the same as the arrangement of the sixteen dragons in the underground, which coincides with the number of giant gates. You should know how to open the mechanism of the number of giant gates.
."
"I know." Hu Ba nodded, wondering in his heart how could this master even know everything I know?
"Open it if you know it, and I'll turn it around with you," Zhang Jin said.
Hu Bayi thought for a moment, and then told Zhang Jin the turning method, and the two worked hard to turn the stone platform.
Soon, the stone platform finished rotating.
Chapter completed!
