Chapter 129: Gathering Wind
Chapter 129
The first batch of twenty people in order to go up the ladder, soon it was my turn, I buckled the safety rope on the ladder, climbed down, the way the safety buckle works is also very interesting, you descend normally, it will follow you step by step, but if you pull hard, it will lock the step, this safety rope is really critical to save a life I don't know, but at this time it brings us a lot of security is an indisputable fact.
As we descended deeper and deeper, the sound on the platform was gradually inaudible, and there was only the sound of the hanging ladder colliding with the mountain wall, probably because of the darkness and bad environment, everyone did not speak, just silently climbed down.
I don't know how long I climbed, I touched the first lock, I asked the dragon team on the platform, this lock is connected to the suspension ladder, a section of the suspension ladder for a hundred meters, just as a sign to judge the height of the descent, this hundred meters to climb down, I didn't feel tired, if I can climb smoothly to the end, I was thinking, I felt a cold face, blowing a gust of wind.
I sighed in my heart, the secret road is not good, this is the inside of the mountain, not outside, where does the wind come from for no reason, there is only one possibility of wind, that is, when the mausoleum is built, some air intakes and air outlets are built at the same time, and at the same time, it can also be used to turn the yang wind blowing in from outside the mountain into the yin wind, which is what we usually call the wind through the hall, this kind of wind usually exists in the building, due to the different atmospheric temperatures on both sides of the air circulation, the air pressure causes the air to flow rapidly, and due to the obstruction of buildings, gaps, doors and windows, Corridors and other passages provide a circulation channel for air to pass through quickly, forming a hallway air.
Although the place we are in now is different from the buildings in the city, Wang Mang can completely use manpower to transform the mountain, as long as the air inlet and air outlet are designed, it is not difficult to form a hall wind, I am now worried about whether this wind is a simple passing wind, or Wang Mang deliberately promoted the gathering wind.
If the wind is passing by, it is purely for ventilation, replacing the turbid air in the tomb with fresh air outside, even if the wind speed is faster, it has no effect on us, if the wind gathers wind, it will form an eye of the wind in mid-air, and the wind speed around the eye of the wind will be much larger than that of other places, and the situation of the vortex exists, there is a word in feng shui called Tibetan wind and water, and the wind is the way of hiding the wind, this way will ensure normal ventilation at the same time, it will also use the high pressure around the eye of the wind to gather a vortex far beyond the normal level of wind, and the gravitational force of the vortex will bind the air around the periphery, so as to achieve the purpose of gathering gas in general。
For the tomb, the stronger the gathering wind, the better, for us it is just the opposite, the stronger the gathering wind, the more dangerous we are on the hanging ladder, if you are accidentally sucked away by the gathering wind, then you have to burp on the spot, speaking of which I suddenly came up with an idea, is it not a signal problem that the drone lost contact just now, but was swept into it by the gathering wind?
I was thinking wildly, but my hands and feet didn't stop, and when I climbed over the second lock, I began to clearly feel that the wind became a little stronger, and after about fifty meters, the wind was so strong that it began to affect us, and the team's climbing speed began to decrease, and after twenty meters, I could already hear the shouts of Chen Zhong and Rui Ren Zexiu, who were in the lead.
"Boss Wu, can you hear me?"
Rui Ren Zexiu's shout even used internal force, no way, the wind noise is too loud, and Rui Ren Zexiu doesn't know that my distance has been shortened to so close, I agreed, Rui Ren Zexiu judged from the sound that I was at most ten meters away from him, and hurriedly said loudly, "Boss Wu, the wind is too strong, down from my position, the suspension ladder began to shake significantly, what should we do?"
I hooked the steel cable of the suspension ladder with my left hand, the probe looked down, with the help of night vision, I could barely see Rui Ren Zexiu, he was lying on the suspension ladder at the moment, was swaying left and right with the suspension ladder, the dragon hunting team went down the suspension ladder for 400 meters, we only walked two-thirds of the way, it is conceivable that the more down the suspension ladder will shake more intensely, but it is impossible to retreat, I thought about it and replied, "Down the pickaxe!" Everyone, step by step, climb the ladder with one hand, control the speed, strong winds will affect breathing, everyone pay attention, don't be careless, Rui shopkeeper, continue to descend!"
Rui Ren Zexiu didn't make a sound, a few sparks appeared in the darkness below, it was the mountaineering pickaxe that chiseled the mountain wall, I also pulled out the mountaineering pickaxe from my waist, and smashed it into the mountain wall after taking a step, what made me happy was that the hardness of the mountain wall was average, otherwise, in case of basalt and quartzite, we could really go home directly.
The whole team of twenty people has been connected head and foot because of the slow descent, and the dense team is also beneficial, and more importantly, we are positioned to prevent shaking, and when we go down to the third lock, I know that the real challenge is about to begin, which is the depth of the drone's lost contact, that is, after three hundred meters, the wind that plagues us will become stronger.
I don't know where to buy the mountaineering pickaxe provided by the dragon hunting team, it's very easy to use, the pickaxe head is needless to say, it's very sharp, and the grip is also added to the gauntlet, so as not to fall off accidentally, and our group of twenty people is like a long centipede, moving down with difficulty.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, my hair was blowing on my face and it hurt, and my hand holding the pickaxe was starting to get sore, because of the wind noise, I couldn't hear anything at all except the sound of the pickaxe hitting the mountain wall hard, and I could only bend my neck and barely make out the position and climb down, and the others were no better.
Under the step, I pulled out the pickaxe and smashed it again to the mountain wall positioning, and then I had a bang on my head, it was Lu Worm who followed me down the mountaineering pickaxe, and when the Changle Palace guy on the head of Lv Worm also followed the step, the accident happened suddenly, it happened suddenly, it happened that he smashed into the pickaxe hole left by Lu Worm, I didn't hear the sound of the pickaxe hitting the wall and felt that I was going to suffer, sure enough, the guy grabbed the steel rope and let go of the hand inertia, and the mountaineering pickaxe did not bite the wall, his upper body was carried back by the strong wind, and then the whole person was blown up, and the safety rope buckled on the body was suddenly broken, before the screams could be heard, they were swept away by the strong wind and disappeared.
I watched the fellow being swept away by the strong wind, and there was nothing I could do, and the remaining nineteen of us were in the same danger as him, but the accident also reminded us that the whole group descended more slowly and more carefully.
Fortunately, out of consideration for his own posthumous affairs, Wang Mang did not dare to change the gathering wind into a whirlwind, in that case, the first to suffer was his own coffin, as an inner whirlwind without a foundation, it is destined that its wind layer will not be too thick, we carefully went down another twenty or thirty meters, we can clearly feel the decrease in the wind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment is not the time to rest, I shouted loudly to concentrate, a group of people slowly accelerated down, through the dangerous strong wind belt.
The wind became lighter and smaller, and our speed became faster and faster, and it didn't take long for Rui Ren Zexiu's shouts to come up again, and another difficulty appeared in front of us, the hanging ladder, and it was over.
With the help of night vision, I tried to look down, but I still couldn't see the bottom, grass, this can't jump casually, although the downhill package given to us by the dragon hunting team is Skysave
The company's latest and best product, but it is only 80 meters, in case you jump down 80 meters and do not reach the end, then you can only hang in the air and wait for death, there is no rescue at all, and take a step back and say, even if you can go to the end after 80 meters, how do we go back?
The scene was at a stalemate for a while, everyone was lying on the suspension ladder waiting for me to speak, I looked around the mountain wall with a steel cable, trying to find out what to find and deduce the next distance, after looking around, there was no special place at all, it was an ordinary mountain wall, and now I had no rut, and I was about to let everyone rest for a while and then go up and back, I suddenly thought of something wrong.
The surrounding mountain walls are too ordinary, ordinary like all mountain walls, but this happens to expose another piece of information, if the mountain wall is an ordinary mountain wall, then how did Wang Mang send people down to build a mausoleum back then?
Of course, when we were on the platform before, we also had the speculation that the abyss was naturally formed, and there was nothing below, but after passing through the Qi Gathering Wind, I don't think so, the Qi Gathering Wind will not be formed naturally, and Wang Mang has no reason to only build a ventilation port in the abyss, there must be something below, and if there is something, someone has to build it, and people can't fall below out of thin air, I guess, there must be a road below that we haven't found, and you can go through other places without going to the abyss.
I briefly told them about my inference, and the Lu worm above my head asked, "Brother Wu, you mean that no one can go down to take a look, who do you say to let go, if not, I'll go down and have a look first, right?"
"Look. I scolded, "You can fly, I'm just guessing, even if my guess is correct, I don't know how deep it is underneath, and if you can't finish the downhill pack, what will you do?"
Lu Worm knew that what I said made sense, but he felt that it was unreasonable for me to scold him, so he couldn't help but reply, "Then you don't say nothing, I can't fly, can someone in the team fly?"
I fastened the anchor point of the downhill bag to the suspension cable and grinned, "What do you say?"
Before the words fell, I jumped out, leaving others with an exclamation, but I didn't want to die, I have my own plans, even if the downhill package can't fall to the end, I still have fangs and snake letters, and there is no strong wind interference below, it takes a little effort, I can always fall to the ground, not to mention, this is just my backup plan, it is reserved for the most difficult situation, as for my first choice.
The sound of the wind sounded in my ears, I closed my eyes, and with my mind, the cloud lingering fairy skirt appeared outside my body, and the four drapes on my shoulders fluttered with the wind, slowly changing, becoming longer and wider, and after a few seconds, I was staggered down, and the four drapes spread horizontally from side to side, like two pairs of huge wings, flying down with me in the wind.
