Chapter 67: A Natural Cave in an Underground Fortification
At the airport, I watched the plane carrying Zhao Mingmin, her mother and sister disappear into the sky.
Ning Hao turned his head and got into the car and asked the driver to drive to the station of an armored unit thirty kilometers away from Panyang.
At the gate of the troop station, Wang Tiesheng, dressed in military uniform, personally greeted him and got into a fully enclosed box-type military vehicle.
The military vehicle drove all the way to the troop station, and in a short time it was up a steep mountain road.
"Uncle Wang, isn't Elder Li retiring? Why are you still presiding over the work of the army? Ning Hao stared at Wang Tiesheng with a majestic face.
"In the face of national security, no one has a time to retire. After Wang Tiesheng finished speaking, he pointed to the protective clothing next to his seat and said, "Minister Li is studying those things with a group of senior experts, let me take you directly to the scene, he said that maybe you can provide a little clue." ”
What to study...... Ning Hao was a little confused, there was an expert present to tell him what to do?
Those high-level experts know astronomy and geography, and even the tomb of Sun Wukong can be examined, and he is a hairy young man, what clues can he provide?
The car continued to move, and Wang Tiesheng told the general situation of the incident.
It turned out that when the armored forces were expanding the underground fortifications, they accidentally discovered a natural cave with stalactites. As soon as the hole was opened, a large amount of poison gas rushed out of it, and none of the soldiers present at that time were spared, and all of them were poisoned by the gas on the spot.
When the poison gas cleared, a group of soldiers dressed in protective suits entered the cave to explore. Inside, traces of human activity, such as murals and oil lamps, were found.
At the end of the cave is a carved underground hall surrounded by murals of people and events. There are characters from the Yin Shang period to the early Ming Dynasty.
Among them, the characters are complex, from the founding emperor to the peerless beauty, and even some heroes of the world. The only thing they have in common is that they are all famous figures in history. It basically affects the rise and fall of an era or a dynasty.
On the mountain wall in the middle of the hall, a map was carved like a moon of stars, and a large paragraph of words was written in a seal below. The translation is to the effect that these characters have achieved extraordinary achievements because they have entered a place.
The map is carved quite clearly, but there is no place to correspond to the topography on all existing maps.
The place recorded on the map is called: the land of golden camellias.
After listening to Wang Tiesheng's words, Ning Hao's heart suddenly burst. Li Xianming mentioned this place on the phone last time, did he think that the magical power in his body came from the place on this map.
If this map is decrypted, there will definitely be a large number of people rushing to that place, and it is impossible to predict what will happen at that time.
"Uncle Wang, this thing is amazing, do you really believe it?" Ning Hao stared at Wang Tiesheng and said.
"I heard the old chief say that the experts consulted a large number of secrets of the founding emperors of the previous dynasty and found the corresponding evidence from Zhao Kuangyin's letters. Zhao Kuangyin also went to that place when he was young, and his deeds are also on the murals in the cave. ”
Wang Tiesheng said as he handed Ning Hao a confidentiality agreement, which clearly stated that he could not disclose any information about this incident to outsiders in his lifetime. As compensation, he will be given a confidentiality fee of 10,000 yuan after signing the agreement.
"Signed it. Wang Tiesheng said with a tiger face, "Since you already know about this matter, you have the obligation to keep it secret for the state." ”
"If you sign it, you will have 10,000 yuan?" You can earn 10,000 yuan after listening to the story for a while, although Ning Hao didn't care about this little money now, he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, don't you still have to help the country find a way to find that place? Wang Tiesheng handed him another pen.
Signing his name on the confidentiality agreement, Ning Hao felt that things were getting more and more interesting.
If you enter this place, you will become a famous person through the ages. Whoever it is, if they decrypt this map, I'm afraid they'll go and see it for themselves. Who wants to take it out and share it with everyone.
After driving on the mountain road for nearly an hour, the road began to become a little bumpy, and slowly began to move downward. And the sunlight that penetrated through the cracks of the military vehicle also disappeared, and it clearly entered the cave.
After more than twenty minutes, the military vehicle finally stopped.
The two got out of the military vehicle, and sure enough, they had already reached the underground fortifications. The fortifications were apparently excavated by hand, and the walls were hung with cold lights. A damp air flow blew in the air, and Ning Hao couldn't help but shiver.
Directly in front of the entrance to a huge cave, surrounded by eight armed warriors with loaded guns. Looking at their military uniforms, at least cadres above the company level, it can be seen how much attention the above attaches to this matter.
"Put on protective clothing. Wang Tiesheng reminded Ning Hao while taking out a document to show the soldiers standing guard.
Ning Hao obediently put on protective clothing, and seeing that Wang Tiesheng was completely motionless on the side, he couldn't help but say, "It's hard for you to go in with me, I haven't been to the one who can't find the way." ”
Wang Tiesheng smiled awkwardly and said, "My level is not enough, you can go in by yourself, there is a straight road, and there is only one fork." An hour's walk will take you to the hall where the old chief is studying. Remember not to go into the fork in the road, it's too deep in there, and the hole is marked, so don't go wrong. ”
"There's no poisonous snake in there, or you can give me a guy to defend myself." Ning Hao looked at the cave of the black hole, and his heart was a little empty.
"Hey, what are you afraid of, you're too timid for a young man. There wasn't even a rat in it, let alone a poisonous snake. ”
Wang Tiesheng handed him a flashlight, and when he saw that he was still stunned, he muttered, and then untied a small military dagger from his belt and gave it to him.
"You see they're all real guns, and it's too lethal to give me this thing. Ning Hao looked at the eight heavily armed soldiers standing guard and said dissatisfied.
"Don't grind, the old chief is still waiting for you inside. Wang Tiesheng finally got impatient and pushed him into the cave.
"The tour guide doesn't send one, it's too unprofessional. Ning Hao muttered, turned on the flashlight, and walked along the uneven ground in the cave.
Although the cave is a little gloomy, it is still relatively wide overall, and it is smooth to walk through. It's not like Ning Hao University who went to those mountains during the summer vacation to explore those undeveloped small caves. Some places are spacious, while others are crawlable.
After walking for more than ten minutes, some ghostly peach talisman-like totems began to appear on the cave walls. There are also antique bronze lamps nailed into the rock wall. However, there is no lamp oil in the copper lamp, it should be too old and has been weathered and volatilized.
"Who the hell is so bored to do all this stuff in the depths of the mountains. ”
Ning Hao pondered as he walked, what was the purpose of the earliest owner of this cave, and what was the purpose of making these things.
After walking for another twenty minutes, a deep sense of fear rose in Ning Hao's heart.
The sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard in the dark cave, only the sound of his breathing and footsteps echoing through the cave.
"Made, this Wang Tiesheng is too much of a thing, and he will die if he has a guide. If this flashlight suddenly runs out of power, it must not scare Lao Tzu to death. ”
Ning Hao couldn't help but start cursing the incomprehensible Wang Tiesheng, he was simply too inconsiderate.
As he complained, the flashlight in his hand flickered a few times, slowly turning yellow, suddenly brightening and then quickly extinguishing.
Ning Hao only felt that his eyes were dark, and the whole person fell into absolute darkness.
