317.Chapter 317 A mountain trail built hundreds of years ago

Within a few minutes, several people from behind also came over one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Dong Shaoqiang walked to Hong Kaiyuan's side, untied the rope on his body, and then reflexively went back to the starting point to collect the rope.

Because the whole process was very wonderful, everyone sighed and expressed their thoughts, and the scene was chaotic.

I don't have so many sighs, it's over, and the most important thing is what we do next.

While everyone was talking, I began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and found that this 'holographic barrier' was a bit thick, about 20 centimeters, and there was a distance of about 10 meters from the barrier to the real mountain cliff.

When I walked into the cliff, I saw that there were all kinds of vines and plants growing on it, and a few trees stretched out from the cliff wall, with different shapes.

Look at this end of the stone bridge, the maximum width is more than six meters, the bridge deck is arc-shaped, the more to the edge, the greater the arc, only the middle of about one meter wide is relatively close to the horizontal road surface, on the whole, the length of this boulder is more than 60 meters, the width is more than 5 meters, the thickness can not be judged.

But judging from these two data alone, it is already extremely huge, and I can't help but sigh at the power of nature! If it weren't for the decision, this place is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and with a depth of more than 400 meters, no one would have expected that there would be such a stone bridge between these two mountain cliffs.

When I looked up, I saw that the peak where the cliff was located was so large that I couldn't see the outline on the left or right, so I couldn't judge its size at all. In addition to vines and trees, there are many unnamed fungi and bryophytes growing on the cliff wall.

From the bottom of the cliff downwards, it is still bottomless, and when viewed from one side, it looks like bamboo shoots growing from the ground, with a large bottom and gradually smaller towards the top. But for us, it's like a super high wall erected on one side of a stone bridge, cutting off the way.

At this time, Xiong Ying walked over: "It seems that if we want to go up, we have to climb the rock!"

I nodded, and then said, "Let's check around first to see if there is anything out of the ordinary!"

Hearing me say this, several people who were talking happily on the side came over and began to search carefully.

After a while, Dong Shaoqiang had already walked back with the rope, and everyone was looking at the almost vertical cliff.

I stared intently, and as I watched, my vision began to blur a little, wondering if it was because I had been staring for too long. Suddenly, I felt that there was something strange about the weeds on the cliff, and after a closer look, I didn't find anything, thinking it was a problem with the sight distance, I took a few steps back, and looked again, but I still didn't find anything.

Thinking about the momentary sensation just now, is it an illusion? I rubbed my eyes vigorously, strange, nothing unusual?!

I sighed, narrowed my eyes slowly, and wanted to think back to what I had just felt, when I was about to close my eyes, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the grass on the cliff wall, and after a closer look, I found something wrong.

The clumps of grass that grew on the cliff wall were not irregular, and their shapes were also very distinctive, not irregular clumps, but a bit like horizontal lines.

Although they are not very continuous, and their length is not the same, as long as you look closely, and then connect the intermittent grasses, you can find that the distance between the height and direction of these slanted grasses is very regular, almost fifteen or sixteen meters, very much like parallel lines, diagonally drawn on the cliff wall.

I immediately walked to the foot of the cliff and began to pull through the grass about 80 centimeters long closest to the stone bridge deck.

Dividing the grass, it was found that most of the grass grew in the soil mixed with dirt and gravel, and it was very dense. Grabbed a handful of grass with his hand, pulled it hard, and couldn't pull it out at all, and his hand was cut a few times by the blades of grass.

Seeing that it didn't work, I took out my pickaxe and started planing. After only a few ploughings, I found that the roots of the grasses were dense and large, most of them had reached into the crevices of the rocks, and only a few of the roots had been retained in the soil outside. The soil covering the cliff face was very thick, so I had to work harder and planed for several minutes before I could dig out the whole grass by the roots.

Soon, I could see what was going on underneath the earth: it was covered with very large and smooth stones, the texture should be granite, and one side of the cliff was one with the stone, and the exposed part was more than 70 centimeters wide.

Even though it is covered in mud, the surface of this granite is still relatively erosive, and the exposed surface part has been so badly weathered that it will crumble with a pickaxe. I turned around and beckoned Gu Xin and Hong Kaiyuan, and asked them to plane all the way, and after about half an hour, they dug out a stone staircase four or five meters long and diagonally upward.

When everyone saw it, they all stood on the spot.

"Isn't this a man-made stone staircase?! Looking at the direction, it is clearly a mountain trail!" Li Xi on the side spoke first, "Could it be that someone has done anything here?"

"Judging by the degree of erosion and weathering, the age should be quite old!" Wen Jing also frowned. "If not thousands of years, at least hundreds of years!"

Xiong Qianqian also came up, she bent down and touched the stone with her hand: "Strange, is it possible that someone will come to do the project in this kind of ghost place?"

"Perhaps, the so-called archaeological site was visited many years ago!" Xiao Lan said in a deep voice.

For a long time, several girls rarely expressed any opinions, but this time they all jumped out to put forward their own opinions.

The bear eagle didn't speak, but frowned again, quietly looking at the stone steps.

"Could it be that this is a road leading to the cliff?" Gu Xin put down the pickaxe.

Hong Kaiyuan also stopped: "Even if this is really a climbing stone step, should we just follow this stone step all the way up?"

"That's going to be exhausting, and at our pace, it's going to take at least ten days to get to the top of the cliff! And we don't know how far it will be to go around the mountain. He was still gasping for breath and wiping a handful of sweat on his forehead.

"It seems that many things are not as simple as imagined!" Xiong Ying, who had not spoken all this time, said suddenly. "This hiking trail, which was built hundreds of years ago, must have had some kind of extremely important role and reason for its excavation!"

I nodded: "Judging from the current situation, this hiking trail should be prepared for the event, and it should be a very important activity, and it must be more than one event!"

"Uncle Qi, why do you say that?" Xiong Qianqian tilted her head and looked at me, she was already young, and with her innocent face, she looked very cute and cute, and she stunned Gu Xin beside me.

"Because of the excavation of climbing stone steps on this kind of cliff, it can be imagined that the amount of work is quite large just from the height of this cliff and the volume and quantity of stone that needs to be excavated on the stone steps. ā€

"Even modern machinery and equipment can't be achieved overnight, especially since it was hundreds of years ago. So it will definitely cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources!"

"If it weren't for an activity or a certain purpose, people would never have put so much effort into completing this project!

As soon as I finished speaking, everyone burst out laughing.

"Then what purpose or reason do you think it is for?" Xiao Lan on the side interjected.

"This should be asked to the person in charge of this project back then!" I sighed, then spread my hands and shrugged helplessly.
