42.Chapter 42
After a little preparation, the three of them walked down the steps into the cave. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
When I went in, I was very careful and looked carefully at every place I passed. The inside of this cave is also very large, all of which are made of large bluestone that are quite regular, similar to the entrance of the cave, and square. It is almost more than two meters from the surface of the steps to the top, and it is not very depressing for people to walk in it.
After about a dozen steps, it was discovered that there was a metal ring on the right side of the cave wall that was the same as the one outside.
"Lao Qi, this can't be the mechanism that opens the statue above, right?" Hong Kaiyuan reached out and touched it, "Yo, there is no rust at all!" said and knocked a few times, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
I leaned over to take a look, and saw that although it looked like an iron ring, it didn't seem to be made of iron. The exterior is pitch black, but it is not painted, nor is it the bluing or plating in our current surface treatment, but it still has a metallic luster. I have a certain understanding of metal materials, but this thing does not look like gold, silver, copper, or iron, and I can't tell what it is made of with the naked eye. However, as far as I know, the surface treatment technology of ancient times is far from reaching this kind of water, and I can't help but have some doubts in my heart.
"Although we speculate that the snake is not malicious, it is only speculation, if it follows up, it can only wait for death in this kind of place!" Wen Jing saw that we were in a daze, so she pulled me and looked back at the entrance of the cave.
"It's not simple, don't you close the hole!" Hong Kaiyuan said and directly pulled the ring with his hand. I heard another rumbling sound coming from above, and when I looked back, I saw that the entrance to the cave had once again been sealed by the base of the statue.
I glanced up at the roof of the cave and saw that there were a lot of strange structures on it, presumably the mechanism that drove the pedestal, but I didn't bother to care about it, so I said, "Fatty, are you sure this thing can be opened when it's closed?"
"Unless the person who built this cave doesn't want to go out after coming in by himself, there are other entrances and exits here!" Hong Kaiyuan glanced at me, feeling that my words were a bit redundant.
"How many years has this been, are you sure it still works?" I was a little unconvinced, and continued to chase: "If there is no ventilation in here, we will have to suffocate here!"
"This is easy to do!" Hong Kaiyuan said like a trick, and took out a few big red candles from his bag, and at first glance they were the things in the hall above, and he didn't know when he took them.
"After a while, let's light the candle and leave, if the candle obviously changes the flame, we will retreat!" Hong Kaiyuan shook the candle at me a few times.
"Do you still need a flashlight?" Wen Jing asked.
"The economical and practical way is a flashlight and a candle. Hong Kaiyuan smiled and added, "The light intensity of the candle is not enough, it can only be used to detect the air quality in the cave, and the light of the flashlight is strong, and you can see some problems that cannot be found!"
"Looks like you're not a fool!" I teased.
"That's, who am I? Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Hong Kaiyuan shook his head and played with his head.
"A thousand years of zombies at most!" Wen Jing smiled.
Then, the three of them were headed by Hong Kaiyuan holding a lit candle, Wen Jing was in the center, and after I turned off the flashlight, I continued to walk towards the depths.
The stairs seemed to be very long, at an inclination of about 30 degrees, and it took more than ten minutes before it came to an end, and I don't know how deep it was.
Because the entrance to the cave had been sealed, the three of them no longer worried that the snake would follow, and they talked and laughed all the way, leaving behind those strange experiences before.
After walking for about ten minutes, we finally saw a flat section of ground at the end of the steps.
When I got closer, I realized that this was already a completely different passage!
What greeted our eyes was a very spectacular scene: what appeared in front of us was actually a more square corridor, which was different from the brick and stone tunnel we had walked through before, and the four sides of the upper and lower left and right sides looked completely a whole, as if such a space was directly carved out of the rock.
I carefully examined the corners of the ground and found that it was really a single unit, and the four sides of the tunnel were basalt, and there was no trace of excavation, just like the abandoned droplet-shaped cave we saw!
The whole corridor is about three meters wide and at least five meters high, and the depths of the deep passage are pitch black, and with a flashlight, you can't find anything at all, and the depths of the passage seem to be filled with an extremely thick black fog, except for the darkness or darkness, you can't see anything.
From the point of view of the passage section, this is an unconventional rectangle, the four corners are absolute right angles, I studied design, and I have a concept in mind at a glance.
"Silly melon, I don't think it's right!" Wen Jing said suddenly.
“metoo。 Hong Kaiyuan answered.
"You mean this road?" I flashed my flashlight around.
"Yes, it stands to reason that this should be the Dong family's treasure hiding place, but the excavation process of this tunnel is too exaggerated! It's exactly the same as the cave hall we found above!" Wen Jinghu wondered.
"When we were on it, we speculated that the cave hall was not dug by humans, but how to explain it here?" Hong Kaiyuan turned around and looked at Wen Jing and me, "And, you see, this is completely taken out of the stone, and what is even more outrageous is that the flatness and verticality of these four faces cannot be done without a certain measurement technology, even if it is put on hold now, it is not an easy task." But this place must have been created at least a few hundred years ago, maybe more than that!"
"This cave and the one above must be from the same person or the same tool!" I replied after a moment's thought.
"No, could it be that this Dong family still has something to do with aliens?" Wen Jing was a little surprised.
"When you say that, I think of something!" Hong Kaiyuan handed the candle to his left hand and groaned.
Wen Jing and I didn't answer, and stared at him at the same time.
"The girl once said that the scale armor of the snake does not make that kind of metallic sound, now think about it, we have also seen the scale armor up close several times, do you think it is the scale armor of the snake? Or is it wearing armor?" Hong Kaiyuan's face became solemn as he spoke, and it was estimated that he felt that this matter was a bit serious.
"You should have gone up and grabbed a piece!" I teased.
Hong Kaiyuan ignored me, and continued: "Also, the invisible thing we encountered in the temple hall above, what do you think it is using to ring that bell?"
