"Old Itch, what is that standing upright in that deep pit? Is it the bronze tree you mentioned?"

As soon as Ding Ze's random thoughts emerged, Wu Xie suddenly asked Lao Chu.

Lao Itch nodded directly, "Yeah."

In response, Lao Itch walked straight forward, "Come on, come on - come closer and take a look, you will - you will be surprised."

Wu Xie didn't hesitate and quickly followed.

The same goes for Ding Ze.

The three of them walked forward quickly.

soon.

Because of the three flashlights shining straight forward, the distance to the pit was gradually shortened... The spectacular scene in the pit gradually revealed the true face of Mount Lushan.

Not long after.

It is almost erected in the center of the deep pit, with a diameter of about ten meters. It is almost as if it is inserted into the pit, going straight up, the unattainable curved copper wall-like bronze tree clearly appears in the field of vision of the three people.

among.

"Fuck!" Wu Xie saw this and immediately stopped his feet, giving a loud shock.

Hearing the sound, Ding Ze and Lao Chu stopped one after another and did not move forward.

Lao Itch smiled and said, "Old Wu, how--what, you must be shocked."

Wu Xie was stunned and nodded blankly, "I'm really shocked! This kind of thing..."

Shocked, Wu Xie spoke intermittently.

"How could such a giant bronze vessel appear here? Who was it, and in what era did it exist..."

Wu Xie was so startled that he muttered for a while, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Ding Ze, "Brother Ding, I remember you said that there is a bronze tree in the ruins of the ancient She Kingdom..."

"Is it this?" Wu Xie asked, pointing to the bronze tree about ten meters in front of him.

"It should be," Ding Ze didn't give in. After giving the answer, he pretended to be surprised and sighed, "I didn't expect that this thing really exists."

Wu Xie heard this and hurriedly asked, "What is the specific situation of this ancient She country? Which dynasty is it in the same period as we know?"

After hearing the words, Ding Ze shook his head decisively, considering that there were more than 100 million dumb viewers watching in the live broadcast room at the moment.

"I also heard from my friends, but I don't know much about it. I only know that the She State was a mysterious small country that was active in the Qinling Mountains about three thousand years ago."

Hear this.

Wu Xie's brows moved, "Three thousand years ago? That must be BC, Xia, Shang and Zhou were all possible... Brother Ding, didn't your friend give a rough time range? Three thousand years, plus or minus a few hundred

Year?"

Ding Ze shook his head again, "No, he doesn't know too well."

"Hey," Wu Xie sighed and didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the bronze tree again with a puzzled look on his face, "No matter which period it was in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, with the smelting level of humans at that time, it was absolutely impossible to create such a tree.

The giant bronze tree’s…”

"For this thing to appear here is simply a miracle!"

Wu Xie muttered for a while, then raised his feet and continued to move towards the bronze tree.

"The first time I looked at this thing, I thought I saw the Dinghai Shenzhen," Lao Chu followed suit and said to Wu Xie at the same time.

"Then I got closer and took a closer look, and I realized that this thing should be a bronze tree."

"Old Wu, you know a lot about cultural relics. Do you know what this thing means when it stands here?"

Wu Xie: "The history of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is very missing. Those historians dare not say how much they really know."

"I only know a little bit about it."

"So, I think the reason why this thing was erected here is probably only known by the person who originally erected it here."

As Wu Xie spoke, his words suddenly stopped and his expression changed, "Damn it, I suddenly figured it out."

"Those mine tunnels above are not mine tunnels at all, but are the tunnels dug by certain people...most likely those Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers in order to dig out this bronze tree!"

"What the hell, they dug so many tunnels all the way down to this deep underground. They have been digging here for who knows how many years, but they still haven't been able to dig to the bottom of this bronze tree."

"Then this thing is inserted into the ground. How deep does it go?"

Wu Xie said in one breath, his face and tone full of shock and confusion.

Lao Itch scratched his head, "I also thought about this problem last time."

"I think this thing might have been inserted all the way into hell."

Wu Xie: "..."

The word hell appears.

Wu Xie turned his head and glanced at Lao Chu, and said in an obviously speechless tone, "Don't talk nonsense."

"How could I just--just talk nonsense," Lao Itch was unhappy after being scolded, and replied, "I think it's really--it's really possible."

"Think about it, those officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty obviously dug for several years before they dug here."

"Then why---why didn't they keep digging---down?"

"Why--why were they all--killed and buried casually--in that cave above?"

Lao Itchi retorted.

Words enter the air.

Wu Xie was speechless for a while and frowned tightly.

Ding Ze saw this, thought about it, and felt that this matter could be discussed to pave the way, so he spoke.

"Old Itch, although the question you raised is very important, the idea of ​​hell is a bit too nonsense."

"I think your two questions can actually have more reasonable explanations."

As soon as these words came out.

Wu Xie and Lao Chu immediately looked at Ding Ze in tacit understanding.

"How do you say it?" Old Itch asked.

Ding Ze smiled.

"This is just my idea. I can't guarantee whether this is the case. However, I personally feel that there is a high chance that my idea will be correct."

After making a statement and talking some nonsense, Ding Ze continued.

"Based on the information we know so far, I think the mission those officers and soldiers came here to perform is most likely to dig out this bronze tree..."

"They dug for several years, then suddenly stopped digging, and then died here... The most likely, or more reasonable explanation is that they dug something or something very special in this pit.

It’s so special that after the big shots above saw it, they felt it had to be kept secret.”

"The big shot decided to keep it secret, so it makes sense that those officers and soldiers would be killed and silenced and buried deep underground, wouldn't it?"

After Wu Xie and Lao Chu listened, they remained silent for a while.

"It's reasonable. The question is, what would require the lives of thousands of high-ranking officers and soldiers to achieve the purpose of keeping it secret?" Wu Xie asked, frowning and being silent for a while.

road.

Ding Ze did not answer immediately, but took out a cigarette first, lit one leisurely, and then moved his mouth, "Comrade Wu Xie, the answer to this question is actually not that difficult to guess. If you think about it carefully, you should be able to think of it.

of."

Wu Xie: "????"

The confusion on his forehead increased several times in an instant. At the same time, Wu Xie's brows quickly wrinkled into a ball. In the meantime, he was racking his brains, and it was obvious that he didn't want to do it.

"Many of the corpses in the cave above had official positions above the fifth rank during their lifetime... Plus, so many people came here to dig up the bronze trees..."

"These two facts basically mean that those officers and soldiers did not obey the orders of a certain high official, but obeyed the orders of...the emperor!"

"That is to say, assuming your guess is correct, Brother Ding, the person who decided to kill and silence was the emperor at that time."

"The Emperor needs to keep the things dug up by the officers and soldiers secret... That thing cannot be gold, silver or other items..."

Wu Xie was talking, his words paused briefly, and then he blinked his eyes repeatedly, his eyes instantly becoming complicated and indescribable.

"Could it be said that the things dug out by those officers and soldiers in this pit are related to immortality?"

Faced with Wu Xie's inquiry.

Ding Ze smiled and took a long breath of smoke. He did not confirm or deny. He just moved his eyes generously and looked at Lao Itch, signaling Wu Xie to ask Lao Itch.

He believed that Wu Xie could understand.

Wu Xie did understand.

No, Wu Xie's eyes almost immediately fell on Lao Itch's face.

"Lao Itch, that great benefit you mentioned is immortality?" Wu Xie asked in a solemn tone.

Lao Itch was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "No, if it was --- it was immortality, I would have told --- you directly."
