Chapter 349: The Flow of Water
Bai Yujing poked his head out, looked down, and looked underground, where stairs had been chiseled out of the ground, indicating that someone had once repaired this huge crack in the ground and carved out a path that could accommodate craftsmen and a large number of pedestrians.
Bai Yujing nodded and threw the flashlight back into Zhou Jun's hand: "That's right, this is it, it seems that we have found the right place, Liu Quanyi, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, once built fortifications here, indicating that this should be an important passage to the tomb of King Yu." ”
Zhou Jun was also excited, he was originally a good polar explorer and adventurous character, speaking of which, he is the same kind of person as Bai Yujing, ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, it is too late to trouble and dodge, he heard it, he was the first to go up, and he applied hard with Qian Jia, he must go down and take a look.
At this time, I knew that I had found the right way, and when I went down, I was very likely to see a mausoleum of the king of the ancient Marquis Kingdom thousands of years ago, and a general who had followed King Wu of Zhou to conquer the world was buried here, which made Zhou Jun very excited.
"It seems that we can really find the tomb of the servant king this time!"
Bai Yujing saw that Zhou Jun was a little nervous, and quipped: "Every time I attack, I have never been empty, and this time it is the same, it is just a tomb of the king of Yu, it must be easy to take!"
The terrain detection drone was released, Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun also turned off the flashlight, I don't know how long they will stay underground, and the electricity is a little bit, the two of them took out a cigarette and smoked it, and by the way, they chatted nonsense without a match.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the drones finally slowly returned one by one, Bai Yujing took a look, determined the route again, and the two of them set off again with their bags on their backs and walked towards the underground.
This earth crack is longer than Bai Yujing imagined, the crack seems to go straight to the underground, and it stretches for hundreds of meters diagonally, but it is actually deep underground, but it is only a few tens of meters away, Bai Yujing calculated, he and the others have walked for so long, it is estimated that even one-tenth of the distance to the dark river has not yet been reached.
I am afraid that he and Zhou Jun will really have to go around this underground cave for two days before they can reach the underground, Bai Yujing estimates that at what time, he may have walked out of the scope of Yuwang Mountain, the real Yuwang Mausoleum, although the entrance is here, but the actual location is very far from here.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Quanyi was ordered to stay in Yuwang Mountain for a few years, spent a lot of financial and material resources, recruited farmers, craftsmen, and slaves, and finally found the Yuwang Tomb, but the final result did not seem to be very good, although the Wangling was found, but he did not get the immortal medicine that Emperor Wanli wanted.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Quanyi was demoted, and the real willingness is probably that the Wanli Emperor is angry with him, not something so-called, because of how many people died in the excavation of the tomb of the king of Yu, for the emperor, the death of so many ordinary low-level farmers and craftsmen will not be taken into account at all.
The ground crack has been stretched down, the steps under the feet have also been modified and smoothed, and the walk is relatively smooth, the searchlight on Bai Yujing's head shines on both sides of this huge ground crack, after the ground crack is explored, it is about ten meters wide, Bai Yujing can feel that a large number of craftsmen carried wood and tools to explore below.
At that time, there was no geological water vein map of Bai Yujing, let alone any terrain detection drone, this dense underground cave was completely dependent on people to explore and find it little by little, and because of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of years have passed since the period of King Wu of Zhou, and many underground terrains have changed.
For example, some passages and karst caves in the past have now collapsed, or are closed due to earthquakes or plate shifts, and Wang Quanyi must mobilize a large number of craftsmen to dig up again little by little.
Bai Yujing looked at the rock walls on both sides, and he could still see rotten ropes and wood, as well as black burn marks, which meant that torches had been burned here, and torches were inserted on both sides of this rock wall to illuminate the way below.
After passing through the crack, a huge space appeared below, and there were more traces of artificial buildings here, and you can see a lot of wood and stones piled up on the ground, and this is a large transit station, a huge underground cave, and the gentle terrain has become a resting place for craftsmen and farmers.
Bai Yujing took a lighter and lit a rotten pot on the wood, and the oil and wick inside were ignited at once, illuminating the four directions, and the entire underground cave suddenly became bright.
The rocks here are all in a state of pulling down like a line, on the top of the head, on the four walls, all of them are like this, the whole space is as high as more than 30 meters, making people feel an incomparable sense of emptiness, the rocks around are stacked on top of each other, like a labyrinth, as if it is a staircase, these stairs are twisted and hidden, you can see one by one or obvious, or hidden holes, large and small.
Some of the holes are ten meters in diameter, some can only accommodate people to bend down and climb into, some lead to the top, some lead to the bottom, and when you look at the four directions, there are many of these holes, and some of them are not countable.
Zhou Jun was stunned all of a sudden: "What the hell is this, how long do we have to look for this cave to find the right direction?"
Bai Yujing looked at it for a while, and was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, we don't need to find it ourselves, because they have already helped us find it, and we don't have to explore one by one, just look at the traces of these people's exploration and excavation." ”
Bai Yujing's ears moved at this time: "Listen, what sound?"
In the silent cave, any sound will be amplified, although the sound is small, but when it is quiet, Zhou Jun immediately hears it: "It seems to be the sound of water, the sound of flowing water." ”
Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun immediately followed the sound and immediately walked to the edge of the area, at this time, Bai Yujing found that the place under his feet had come to an end, and he had stood far away before, although he had lit a bonfire, but the light was not too bright, so there was an abyss here, and Bai Yujing did not find it.
Bai Yujing looked down, and saw the bottom of the cliff at his feet, and in the gap that was not more than one meter wide below, the gurgling water flowed into the depths along the oblique gap, little by little, Bai Yujing immediately said: "This water will converge to the underground dark river according to the flow potential of the water vein, look for this side, there must be an entrance to the bottom, and it should not be small, I remember that Liu Quanyi once built a ship underground, and reached the tomb of the king of Yu through the underground dark river, if the hole is too small, it is impossible to transport the materials and materials needed for shipbuilding into it." ”
