Chapter 99 Ancient Battlefield
We walked to the edge of the wooden bridge fragments. The broken wood had already rotted. With a light touch with our hands, the wooden blocks immediately turned into a pile of residue.
Judging from the thickness of the broken wood, you can imagine that the bridge must have been built in huge and sturdy, and it looks like it was specially designed for heavy vehicles and horses. Even so, it cannot escape the erosion of time and eventually decay.
We found several iron chains with wrist thickness behind the wooden bridge. Although we didn't know what they were for, they could be used as ropes for us to climb out of the river at this time.
The iron chain was rusty, and Shi Tao pulled it hard with his hands, and it felt very strong. Shi Tao grabbed the iron chain and climbed up first. Wen Mo followed closely behind and climbed up, followed by Kong Xue and me.
When we climbed out of the river, we suddenly saw a scene that surprised us. On both sides of the river were two huge open spaces. On the open space, we saw countless broken flagpoles, damaged chariots, and various weapons thrown all over the ground.
We looked around, "Where is this place? How could these things be there?"
Wen Mo picked up a weapon and looked at it, "This seems to be an ancient battlefield."
"Ancient battlefield?" I also picked up a weapon casually, and I was stunned when I saw it, "This is a common spear used in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Could it be that this is the place where King Wu of Zhou fought with the ancient kingdom of Shanhuan?"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look around. The smoke and dew were heavy and frost were heavy, and the sound and color invaded the robes. I looked at the sandy dunes according to my sadness, and the white bones were burning. A solemn and murderous aura swept over.
There are still some broken corpses left on the edge of this battlefield. Obviously, both sides were in a hurry when evacuating, and some corpses were left here.
Looking at these corpses, some are like us. We speculate that they are the Zhou Dynasty army, and some of them are like the corpses of cliff burial groups. Obviously, this is what the ancient people of Shan Huan look like. This also explains the question in my mind just now in the river channel. The corpses similar to ours in the river channel were actually left behind in the Zhou Dynasty army.
We walked through this ancient battlefield and continued to move forward. At some point, I suddenly realized that the wind was rising. Although it was not very big, we could clearly feel the air convection. The wind blew among the chariots and rocks that were tilted on the ground, hitting the stone wall beside it, making a strange sound, which was like the shouts of fighting on the battlefield and the whimpering sound of unjust souls. In short, we heard it so hard that we had goose bumps.
Kong Xue pulled me next to me, "Let's go, let's go quickly!"
Shi Tao looked around and said, "How can there be air flow here? Is there a place that connects here and outside?"
I thought about it and said, "There must be somewhere to be understood. Otherwise, how the Zhou army attacked in, it would be impossible to detour from the underground of the Acropolis like us. At that time, the Zhou army had just overthrew the rule of Shang Zhou and was in full swing. He would definitely use a frontal attack."
Kong Xue continued: "If this is the case, this should be the underground of the inner city of the royal city. Could it be the route where the Tang family came in?"
I was a little uncertain and couldn't help but go to Wenmo, but Wenmo didn't seem to care about our discussion. Instead, he looked around, then stared at the ancient battlefield and frowned tightly.
I had to pretend to understand and nodded, "I think it's almost the same. Even if it's not the same route, it should be not far away."
We walked forward for a long time, and the mess left behind after the war on the ground gradually decreased, which shows the hugeness of this battlefield. This also shows that we have begun to leave the scope of the ancient battlefield. In front of us is the real royal city of the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom. I am eager to see what kind of things the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom has, which surprised King Wu of Zhou? What kind of secrets are hidden in this ancient country that has almost been erased by history. Perhaps all the answers we want to know are there!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up.
And at this moment, I suddenly thought of a problem. In fact, this problem should have been discovered long ago, but it seems too obvious and has been ignored by us. Perhaps we have been walking underground for too long and have forgotten the outside world.
The problem is that if King Wu of Zhou came to attack the ancient kingdom of Shanhuan, the battlefield should generally be on the ground. At most, after the ancient kingdom of Shanhuan was defeated, he would hide underground with his remaining troops, so that the Zhou army would enter the underground to pursue, and this would only appear some small-scale battlefields. But this is not the case. Here, the ground is calm, but such a large battlefield appears underground. Judging from the scale here, this is definitely a positional battle between the two sides and the two sides tried their best, rather than an annihilation battle of chasing and hiding into the underground enemy.
This shows that King Wu of Zhou went straight to the ancient country of Shanhuan, and the place where the ancient country of Shanhuan was fighting the enemy with all its might was underground. Why is this? What exactly is underground that will make both sides so at all costs!
While I was thinking, I moved forward. I glanced at Wen Mo unconsciously. I found that since I saw this battlefield, he had been thinking about something. Obviously, he had thought of something, but he just didn't say it out.
I wanted to ask Wen Mo what he thought, but suddenly I heard Shi Tao in front suddenly "huh". I turned my head and looked in his direction, but found that there was a depression with stone walls on three sides in front, and it looked like a dead end.
We were stunned all of a sudden. After going through hardships, we were at a dead end. Is it because we took the wrong path before? Should we take the path we should take?
I remembered the bottomless deep hole at the end of the river, and there was a chill behind me. If it was really that road, I would rather go home!
But didn’t Er uncle leave a symbol on this road? Does that symbol mean that this road is not accessible? Then this is too scammed!
I was thinking about it all, and Wen Mo reached out to take out a signal gun from his bag, loaded a flare, and fired a shot into the sky. A white light shot straight up and suddenly exploded in mid-air.
The dazzling white light burst out, instantly making the search below bright as daylight. And we were shocked by everything we saw in front of us, and I couldn't believe what I saw!
In front of us, isn't it a dead end surrounded by three stone walls? In the middle is a huge stone door, which is at least four floors tall. On both sides of the stone door are two equally huge stone statues.
A statue carved in a stone statue, this figure looks like a bird-faced and human body, with wings on the back. Its head is slightly nodded, and its eyes are looking down, just in the direction where we are, giving people a very powerful sense of oppression! I couldn't help but feel a little weak in my legs.
