Through the discussion between Jiang Yongguang and Xiao Liang, I learned that since the Sanxingdui civilization was discovered in the 1930s, a large number of extremely precious cultural relics have emerged, including many world-renowned national treasures.

However, in the decades-long excavation process, archaeologists have never found any tomb relics left by this civilization, not even a trace of clues to Sanxingdui tombs, and they have not been able to find any remains of ancient Shu people.

The cultural relics of the ancient Shu Kingdom were unearthed one by one, but the creators of this brilliant civilization seemed to have evaporated from the world, their bodies never found. This is indeed a strange thing.

No wonder Xiao Liang couldn't help but ask.

Faced with Xiao Liang's sharp question, Jiang Yongguang could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and shake his head, saying, "I can't answer this question either, but maybe this ancient tomb in front of us can tell you the answer. From the current signs, this ancient tomb is likely to be closely related to the Sanxingdui culture."

Hearing this, Xiao Liang immediately became excited and said with shining eyes, "Then aren't we the first people to discover a Sanxingdui tomb pit? Of course, apart from those tomb robbers... If this ancient tomb can be made public, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, right?"

Jiang Yongguang nodded without hesitation and said, "That's for sure. So far, only sacrificial pits have been discovered at Sanxingdui, and tomb pits have never been found. If this is really a tomb pit of the ancient Shu Kingdom, then it will definitely cause a sensation throughout the country."

After hearing what they said, I was a little excited at the time. Thinking that I might be on the front page of the newspaper because of this, and be interviewed by reporters from all walks of life, I felt a little carried away.

But the fact proves that I was still too young. Not to mention back then, even today, nearly twenty years later, no tomb pits have been discovered at the Sanxingdui site, and it can even be said that there are no clues at all.

As for the reasons for this, it involves too much and is too complicated for me to explain in a few words. I can only say that perhaps the tomb pits of the ancient Shu Kingdom are destined to disappear under the soil and will never see the light of day again.

Getting back to the main topic, during the question-and-answer session between Jiang Yongguang and Xiao Liang, other Xiaoling Guards found another statue symmetrical to the bronze statue in front of us.

The other bronze statue stood not far away, facing his partner from afar.

Jiang Yongguang immediately realized that these two bronze statues were likely to be the guardians of this ancient tomb, and the entrance to the tomb should be behind them.

Sure enough, after we walked through the two bronze statues, we soon found the entrance to the ancient tomb with the help of the dim light of our headlamps.

It's just that the entrance to this ancient tomb was more magnificent than we imagined, directly stunning our group!

At the end of the cave, there were two towering bronze doors!

The three-meter-tall bronze statues were already shocking enough, but those two statues paled in comparison to these two bronze doors.

The height of these two doors was estimated to be at least ten meters! About three meters wide, they stretched across the cave, dividing the space into inside and outside. The door on the left had collapsed and shattered for some reason, creating a huge gap in the door leaf. This may have been the result of being hit by groundwater, or it may have been deliberately damaged by tomb robbers.

Looking at these two doors, I had the illusion of arriving at the entrance to the netherworld. I even suspected that opening this door might lead to the eighteen levels of hell, or to see patrolling Yin soldiers (ghost soldiers).

Even Xiao Liang, a firm atheist, stared blankly at the two bronze giant doors in front of him, and muttered in a low voice, "Impossible, right? How could ancient people create such a magnificent bronze door? This is not scientific at all..."

Jiang Yongguang said with a smile, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. The technological content of many cultural relics in the ancient Shu Kingdom far exceeds the imagination of modern people. The bronze sacred tree unearthed from the No. 2 pit of Sanxingdui in 1986, after restoration, reached a height of four meters. It is said that the height of the complete sacred tree is nearly six meters, and the casting process is probably more complicated than these two bronze doors in front of us."

Xiao Liang nodded lightly after hearing this and said, "I've learned something."

Jiang Yongguang pointed to the back of the bronze door and said, "It seems that our destination has arrived. Inside these two doors should be the ancient Shu Kingdom tomb site. I just don't know what the tomb has been ruined into by the haozi (tomb robbers), and how many cultural relics are still left inside."

Judging from the corpses fished out of the Tuo River, there were really a lot of tomb robbers who patronized this ancient tomb. Just the number of those who left their lives here was two palms' worth, not to mention those who escaped unscathed.

Therefore, although I hadn't entered the tomb yet, I already had an ominous premonition that there would be few cultural relics left inside.

Jiang Yongguang was even more anxious. He immediately strode forward, drilled forward along the gap cracked on the left side of the bronze door, and was about to go in.

However, just as he was trying to pass through the bronze door, a metallic roar suddenly came from behind us. In this empty cave, even a slight sound would produce a huge echo. This metallic roar even shook our heads!

I was also startled by the sudden sound. I quickly turned my head to look, but instantly discovered a scene that made my hair stand on end!

Originally, there should have been two bronze statues guarding the front of the bronze door. The statue on the left was still standing in place, but the bronze statue on the right had disappeared out of thin air!

A giant statue more than three meters high, gone as soon as it was said to be gone!

I was so frightened that I cursed and shouted, "The bronze statue is gone! Look, there's one less bronze statue! There's only one left!"

Everyone turned their heads to look and also discovered this terrifying fact! Uncle Mei even shouted in a hoarse voice, "It's bad! This bronze statue is alive! Seeing that we are going to enter the tomb, it's going to come over and kill us!"

Jiang Yongguang quickly shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense! How can a bronze statue be alive? If they were really alive, this ancient tomb wouldn't have been robbed by tomb robbers."

I took a deep breath, calmed my mind, and also thought that Jiang Yongguang was right. It was absolutely impossible for the bronze statue to be alive. That's too ridiculous.

But if the statue wasn't alive, then where did the bronze statue on the right go? What was the loud noise that echoed in the cave just now?

At this time, Jiang Yongguang, who had already stepped half a step into the bronze giant door, came back again, drew out the diving knife from his waist, and walked steadily towards the position where the bronze statue disappeared.

However, after getting closer, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stood there and laughed loudly, laughing so hard that he could hardly stand up straight.

Uncle Mei stared at him with suspicion and uneasiness, and asked loudly, "What are you laughing at? Are you possessed? Are you being haunted by a ghost?"

I also felt inexplicably strange. What was wrong with Jiang Yongguang?
