Chapter 68 Jade Eyeballs
After resting for a day and a night, all the energy of the archaeological team has returned to the best state.

Because there is no problem of lack of drinking water for the time being, two professors Chen Jiuren and Hao Aiguo took three students to make a survey record of the entire Jingjue ancient city site, Shirley Yang followed them to take pictures, Hu Bayi and Wang The two Kaixuans are in charge of protection.

Zhang Jin had nothing to do, and while following Professor Chen and others to learn more about it, he was 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 carving on the top of a certain building corresponds to the valley of Mount Zagrama, and the temple of the ancient city of Jingjue is in the On this line, on the opposite end of Mount Zagrama.

It's hard to find, but easy to say, as long as you find the eye-shaped stone carving on the roof of the building, you can find the temple.After visiting Jingjue Ancient City with Professor Chen and others, Zhang Jin discovered the eye-shaped stone carving and found the corresponding temple location.

At night, in front of the bonfire in the camp, 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 site, which will be of great help to future research. Next time we come again, 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 buildings according to the general shape."

Ye Yixin said: "It's okay, teacher, we still have a chance when we come next time."

Shirley Yang was more concerned about Queen Jingjue's tomb and asked, "Professor Chen, have you found the entrance to Queen Jingjue's tomb?"

Hu Bayi is concerned about the issue of water sources: "We are running out of drinking water now, and we must find water sources to replenish if we want to return. I went shopping with Fatty today, but I didn't find any obvious places where there might be water sources. Do you know if you have discovered anything, Professor?"

Chen Jiuren thought for a while and said, "Shenzhen, many temples in the Western Regions have underground palaces, and there must be underground water in the underground palaces."

Wang Kaixuan asked: "Where is the temple? This broken ground is all buried under the yellow sand, and there is no trace of a temple at all."

Chen Jiuren said: "Half of the temple is in the center of the city."

"Professor, doesn't what you said mean nothing? The ancient city of Jingjue has been buried like this. Where can I find the city center!" Wang Kaixuan said.

Hu Bayi poked the fat man, and with warning eyes, he said, "It's better to have a direction than no direction. The city center is such a big place. Are you afraid you won't be able to find it?"

"No, I'm not worried!" Wang Kaixuan hurriedly made trouble, "Why don't we ask Master Zhang, maybe he has already figured it out."

Zhang Jin originally planned to tell everyone about this matter, but now seeing that the topic came to him, he took advantage of the situation and said, "That's right, I have found the temple."

"Look, what did I say?" Wang Kaixuan asked for credit.

Hu Bayi said: "Since we have found the temple, everyone should have a good rest tonight, and set off immediately tomorrow morning to find the water source in the underground palace of the temple."

Shirley Yang added: "There is also the search for the tomb of the Jingjue Queen."

After eating and drinking enough, everyone lay down and rested.

The next day, the sky was bright.

The archaeological team got up and had breakfast, and after sorting out their equipment, they rested. An Liman guarded the camel caravan alone, and the others followed Zhang Jin to the temple.

Under the leadership of Zhang Jin, the crowd quickly entered the interior of the temple from an inconspicuous hole.

"Why are the ground and pillars black and eerie?" Wang Kaixuan looked around with a flashlight.

Chen Jiuren explained: "This place is all black stones transported from Cishan. It's not surprising that you think it's gloomy."

The archaeological team was immediately attracted by several lifelike stone pillars carved on both sides of the temple, and admired the superb skills of the exquisite craftsmen of the country.

Zhang Jin waited patiently for these archaeologists to finish their research on the stone pillars before calling everyone to the top stone platform.

"Whose eyes are these!?" Ye Yixin's face flashed a trace of nervousness.

"Could it be Queen Jingjue?" Chu Jian guessed.

"Queen Jingjue's eyes are so big, is she an alien?" Sa Dipeng said.

Zhang Jin shook his head: "No, this is an eyeball carved from a piece of jade."

"Jade? How much is such a big piece of jade worth?" Wang Kaixuan's eyes were deeply attracted by the jade eyeballs.

"It's so natural! It's really surprising!" Chen Jiuren said with emotion.

Hao Aiguo took out his notebook and began to record: "Teacher, it seems that we can be sure that the eyes of the Guidong people are totems. This is really a major breakthrough in the study of ancient Western civilization! Xiao Sa, Chu Jian, don't be stunned, take pictures and record what!"

While several people were busy, Zhang Jin said to Wang Kaixuan: "Fatty, take out your jade pendant."

"What do you want my jade pendant to do?" Wang Kaixuan asked.

"Is the groove on the jade eyeball similar to your jade pendant?" Zhang Jin pointed to the jade eyeball.

This situation also attracted the attention of others.

Wang Kaixuan took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck and put it in the groove of the jade eyeball, only heard the sound of stones moving, and the stone platform on which the jade eyeball was placed shook for a while.

Zhang Jin took two steps back and looked under the stone platform. He was indeed a bit taller than before.He pointed to the stone platform and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this stone platform is the mechanism that opens the secret passage to the underground palace."

"How do I open the mechanism? Do I want to take this jade eyeball away?" Wang Kaixuan still focused on the baby.

"Don't!" Zhang Jin quickly stopped him.

Although it is not clear whether the group of black snakes falling from the zenith of the temple in the plot is related to the shattering of jade eyeballs, but he dare not try.In the plot, the archaeological team was not killed or injured by the black group attack, that was due to the aura of the protagonist, but it is uncertain now.

"Do you know how to open the mechanism?" Shirley Yang seemed to have guessed something.

Zhang Jin nodded, and then said to Hu Bayi: "The arrangement of the sixteen and stone pillars in this temple is the same as the arrangement of the sixteen dragons through the ground. It 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, thinking in his heart how could this master know everything about me?

"Open it if you know it. I'll go with you." Zhang Jin said.

Hu Bayi thought for a moment, then told Zhang Jin the method of turning, and the two worked hard to turn the stone platform together.

Soon, the stone platform finished turning.

After a few seconds of silence, there was a muffled sound of mechanism turning in the hall of the temple, and the floor tiles in the center slowly sank, finally forming a staircase leading to the ground.
