Chapter 18: The Hole of Nonsense

The universe is vast, boundless. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Earth, which is 4.6 billion years old or more, is a planet in the solar system, dragging the round moon around the sun year after year.

According to astronomical observations, it takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds for the earth to rotate around the axis of rotation, from west to east, and the earth also revolves about 0.986 degrees around the sun, which is converted into 3 minutes and 56 seconds according to the rotation speed, so the time for the earth to rotate around is counted as 24 hours, which is also called a "solar day". And to make a full circle around the sun, it will take 365 days and 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. According to the observation of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Earth's rotation, which has been slowing down for a long time, has been accelerating since 1999, and although this change is negligible, the reason for this is still inconclusive.

……

At 3:51 p.m. on August 29, the sun was already tilting to the west, but it still projected its incomparably powerful energy into the infinite space. One of them, at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, flew straight for more than 500 seconds, broke through the darkness of 150 million kilometers, and finally broke into the atmosphere of this blue planet, turned into countless gold and silver threads, and projected straight onto Longzhu Island, about 40 kilometers northeast of Jiahe City.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the four rays of golden light were accurately pulled to the top of the general's pier, and after the refraction of the four mysterious rubies, four wisps of green smoke were ignited on the platform in front of the stone hall.

After the green smoke, the stone platform moved, and in the surprised gaze of everyone, a deep hole was revealed.

The Temple of No Door!

Eyeless ghosts!!

The Hole of Nonsense!!

Please, this is not the so-called "three nos" product, but an ancient spiritual place that the Ito clan has painstakingly explored with the efforts of several generations of ancestors.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the cave entrance, Ito almost burst into tears, and he couldn't wait to fall to his knees and cry. Grandfather, father, big brother! Did you see that? Hiroaki Ito finally found it today, found it! For this day, for the four Shura hairpins that are used as opening bricks, we have endured humiliation, inherited by father and son, and even made such a big sacrifice! …… Now, now! We, the Ito family, our great light of the underworld! Finally, I have a chance to make my long-cherished wish come true!

The opportunity will not come again, without further ado, it is important to hurry into the hole! Ito was secretly excited, and at the same time ordered Omori and others to quickly open the warning barrier, hang up the construction sign, and enclose the entrance to the cave; Four more people were arranged, and the fake survey engineering team members were guarded outside, and then four people, including Omori, buffalo, and mosquitoes, were ready to enter the cave. Yun Nai also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Ito, and while taking out a pair of white gloves from his trouser pocket and putting them on, he said with a solemn face: "I don't know the depth here, you are guarding outside, we ...... Go and come. ”

The buffalo at the front first used a long probe rod to reach into the hole, and the electronic display at the other end immediately ticked out a set of data, confirming that there was no methane gas in the hole, no miasma, the oxygen content was relatively sufficient, and there was a breeze, which seemed to have another place to communicate with the outside world. He folded a bright yellow glow stick and threw it in, but there was no mechanism or anything out of the ordinary.

The glowstick rolled down the steps to the end of the tuk-tuk and stopped on a narrow platform. The buffalo turned around and gestured to OK to signal safety. Ito, Omori and the others all turned on the strong light in their hands and followed the cat's body into the hole.

First of all, there is a stone staircase, a total of 13 steps, together with the stone of the wall of the road, are the same as the stone tablet carried by the turtle under the mountain, hidden in the twisted water ripples, through the strong light of this flashlight, crystal like jade, showing a translucent texture, but not like marble or other jade, I don't know where to mine. The stones are spliced so precisely that there are almost no gaps to be seen, but every third piece is separated by a metal strip like a black iron, which plays the role of an expansion joint.

Descending to the platform, there were a pair of lampposts standing on the walls on either side, and the ointment had long since dried. In the middle of the lamppost, there are two stone gates, about two meters high. On the door is carved a pair of tall gate gods with angry eyes and round eyes, horizontal eyebrows and vertical hair, each holding a blade to guard the road, the shape is somewhat similar to that on the false door of the stone hall outside, except that there are no two mountain ghosts under their feet.

But the problem is that these two stone doors are not closed, but half-hidden.

A half-hidden stone door?

Could it be that someone has already been here?

Ito frowned, and found that Omori and the others were also looking at him, and they were all at a loss.

"Hmm......"

To go in or not to go in? Ito touched his chin, like a vulture, perched on a rock, crooked his neck, and made a categorical gesture forward:

"Let's go, keep going!"

Omori got the order, and he also tilted his neck, letting the buffalo and another big man push the stone gate together, and the rest of them were on high alert, ready for the next possible mutation.

The two stone doors seem heavy, but they are effortless to push, like a layer of lubricating oil underneath. The two buffaloes were like two bulldozers, burying their heads in a muffled snort, straining their hands and feet, and after a burst of stone coiling, a darker tunnel appeared in front of them.

When the lights shine, I saw that the scene here is very different from when I first entered the cave, almost all the walls are full of all kinds of stone carvings and murals, as if walking into a huge kaleidoscope, bizarre and colorful.

Secretly looking, there seems to be a tall palace on the mural, surrounded by flying sky, supported by mythical beasts, and a group of people beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing...... Just as I was about to look closer, I heard a mosquito cry as if it had seen a ghost:

"Alas, alas, oh maa~!"

Let's not talk about the bad problem that mosquitoes will stutter as soon as they are nervous and the northeast accent, it is estimated that they will not be able to change it in this life, just to say that everyone is called by this, and their hairs stand on end, almost subconsciously, busy shining with a strong flashlight.

I saw a black shadow grab one of the mosquito's legs, shake his head, and bite it with his mouth open.

What! What's that?

The mosquitoes were about to frighten out, snot and tears, rolling and crawling, falling to the ground, and kicking their legs desperately. But this black shadow is like a dog skin plaster, the harder you shake it, the more firmly it sticks to the special mother.

Good guy, seeing this formation, it is estimated that ordinary people are also confused, thanks to the presence of a fierce and vicious Omori. As soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he took a sudden stride, rushed to him, raised the meteor's big foot, and kicked it according to the black shadow......

I only heard a "click", and the black shadow holding the mosquito's leg was kicked away, raising a large cloud of dust.

Wow, what's not to hug, hug a mosquito leg!

When I looked at it, it was a dried corpse. His face had long since withered, with only two black holes left, a row of white teeth, and the clothes on his body were rotten and black, and he couldn't see his original appearance.

It turned out that the mosquito accidentally stepped on the dried corpse just now, and in the panic and struggle, his right foot was stuck, looking like someone was pestering him.

"Damn! You're so cowardly! Omori took a sip.

"Phew!" The buffalo also rushed over and pulled the mosquito aside, waving his hand and fanning the ash dust in the air, and spit on the star.

"Everyone be careful!" Ito covered his mouth and nose with his white-gloved left hand, took a few steps away, and said sullenly, and then looked back at the place where the corpse was sitting, and there was a spear-like weapon horizontally, which had been broken into two pieces and landed behind the threshold. His first reaction was probably that this dried corpse had been in the stone chamber before his death, and he used this spear to drive on the threshold, blocking the stone door and sealing it.

But why would he do it?

It was difficult to understand for a while, so Ito simply raised his head and looked up. There is an octagonal caisson on the top of the head, and the carvings inside are indistinguishable. Looking around, he now had his back to the stone door and his face was facing inward, and there were straight stone walls on the left and right, and when he walked about five or six paces, there was a round arch hole in the wall, and a stone staircase leading to the top was built in it. To ask what's on it? I don't know, it's all pitch black. Turning his head to look ahead, facing the stone gate, there is a dead end about ten meters long, and there seems to be a niche on the wall at the end of the alley. If you face the direction of the stone gate, this stone chamber is the torso, the stone steps on both sides are the wings, the stone steps when you enter the cave just now are the neck, and the dead end and niche behind are the tail feathers.

"The game of feathering ascension......" Ito was the first to jump out of his mind, and immediately ordered everyone: "Hurry! Above, divided into two groups of people, go to the top and have a look! ”

Afraid of the dried corpse just now, the mosquito naturally ran to a stone staircase opposite, and the buffalo followed. Omori and the other climbed the stone steps on the side of the corpse, while Ito stood still. Yellow or white, flickering left and right, flashlight light and shadow shaking, I can't hear a word of speech, only hear the sonorous sound of hurried footsteps and stepping on the stone steps, in this nonsensical hole, whirling for a long time.

It didn't take long for Omori and the others to run back out of breath, shaking their hands, saying that it was also a dead end over there, and that they didn't find anything. But there was no response from the mosquitoes. Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they all came back to their senses, and without saying a word, they turned around and climbed up the stone steps on the mosquito side.

The stone steps are not high or steep, like ordinary stairs, running fast and not counting in detail, it seems to be 13 steps, and after a while you will go up to a small platform, and there seems to be a stone niche on the wall; I turned a 180-degree hairpin bend to the right, passed a sloping upward road, and then turned a hairpin bend, and suddenly it was spacious.

It was originally a stone room of forty or fifty square meters, all made of green bricks, without half a piece of wood. The top is an arched structure, layered on top of each other, built into a circular dome, in which a caisson is suspended by a stone pillar about half a meter long. On the head of the stone pillar, there is a crystal ball with a diameter of thirty or forty centimeters, which is illuminated by the flashlight, and immediately reflects the brilliance of golden glass, reflecting on the dome, the stars are dotted, and the stars are shining, like the stars of the universe. All around the stone room, there are exquisite reliefs and colorful murals, either monsters with teeth and claws, or figures shaking their heads, as if they are all alive.

In the stone chamber, there is a square stone coffin bed, all made of white marble, about a foot high. In the center of the coffin bed, there is a white marble coffin about half a person high, which looks very strange.

And what is even more bizarre than this, and a little funny, is that under the reflection of the spotlight like the spotlight of the people, I saw mosquitoes and buffaloes, like drama actors who did not memorize all the lines and rushed on the stage, standing straight and straight in the white flower light, both hanging their chins and staring wide-eyed.

Roaring, fleas are all acting in dramas, talking like they are memorizing lines.

But if you have a bit of artistic and humanistic atmosphere, and look at these two pairs of eyes carefully, you are more like a high-achieving student who graduated from a famous film and television school, and has completely abandoned all body language and relies on this pair of eyes to act.

Why? Because, now, the mosquito and the buffalo seem to be frozen, and they can only use four eyeballs to express their inner words, which can be described as full of drama, and their eyes are full of surprise.

A hint of foreboding passed through Ito's heart. In fact, when he first entered the stone cave, he felt very strange - if this was indeed the legendary "nonsensical cave", and it was likely to be the "ancient spirit forbidden place" of the general pier, even if it was only one of them, it would be full of forks. When you first build it, no matter how bad luck you are, or if you are on a tight budget, you should always design some anti-theft mechanisms such as quicksand, fire crossbows, nail boards, and dark pits, right? But along the way, it was calm and uneventful, with no organ or obstacle to talk about; There is nothing thrilling, there is no difficulty at all! Think back to the half-hidden stone door, and the dead corpses and broken spears beside the door...... Could it be that this is an unfinished, or unused empty tomb after completion?

But, since it is an empty tomb, why do the mosquitoes have a surprised expression as if they have seen a ghost?

The great curiosity, coupled with the full stomach of questions, was like a thorny whip on his body, driving him to step up his pace, and quickly stepped forward to find out.

He, Omori and the other three took out the sapper shovel and short blade from the backpack, squeezed it tightly in their hands, formed a small encirclement, and carefully stepped onto the coffin bed. Seeing this, the mosquitoes and buffaloes froze in place and did not move, only desperately squeezing their eyebrows, as if they were sending some signal.

Look at the stone coffin closely, the outside is carved with various patterns such as Suān-ni, Feitian, Lux, lotus petals, etc., and the stone coffin cover is buckled out of seven round holes the size of moon cakes, and they are connected with straight lines, but it is the pattern of the Big Dipper, and the dragon is carved on both sides. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual, but on the side facing the entrance, there is a round plaque engraved, a circle of dragons end to end, and the four thick regular scripts engraved in the center are guarded, and it seems to be painted with vermilion lacquer, dark red like blood.

Ito took the light and immediately had a numb scalp! I saw that those four words turned out to be-

Whoever opens is dead!

These four words are exactly the same as the words engraved on the four "Shura hairpins" - the four hairpins that were inserted into the eyes of the mountain ghosts in front of the stone hall just now, refracting the sunlight and opening the holes of nonsense! The goatee trembled and was extremely nervous, and it was because of these four words.

Whoever opens it dies. This mysterious and cruel curse made everyone present shiver, but Ito showed a sneer.

Hehehe, it's really here! He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, patted the big forest beside him, and only drank viciously:

"Open!"

This voice was like an eagle's roar in the sky, echoing in the empty stone room. The mosquito was shouted by this, and a spirit retracted its wandering soul, but pounced on it like chicken blood, protected the stone coffin with its thin body, stammered, and cried: "Can't~!" No, you can't open it~! You, you, don't be blinded by me! It, other words, I don't, I don't know, this, these four also, still look, I can't see ~ open ~ open ~"

Alas, stuttering is laborious...... Before he could finish stumbling, he was kicked away by Omori, scolding while kicking: "Why don't you get out of here!" Go aside! Look at that cowardice! ”

The mosquito fell to the ground and struggled to rush up, but was blocked by the buffalo and drove aside. Here Omori and another big man with black faces, took out a crowbar and inserted it into one of the side cracks of the stone coffin cover, gritted their teeth, and exerted force with both hands - "Quack", the stone coffin cover was pried open, and an arm-thick slit was removed.

As the stone coffin opened, I saw that the blue brick dome above my head was also divided into eight directions, and suddenly moved open eight fist-sized window holes, and the sunlight immediately plunged into it like a straight sword, and the crystal stone ball in it was also illuminated brightly.

I was still in the darkness just now, and when I was hit by this sun, there was a flower in front of me, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back. In the midst of this sudden change, the stone coffin cover slowly moved away like an automatic machine tool, and fell to the ground with a "pop" of its own weight halfway through, raising a puff of dust.

Before the dust fell, a desk-sized sarcophagus rose from the stone coffin, reflecting the sunlight and dark green like jade.

Everyone shrank in horror, not daring to move, imagining in their hearts that inside the coffin, or in the surrounding walls, they would surely shoot their crossbows like rain, and they themselves would be shot into a hedgehog.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, don't you say "the one who opens is dead"? Touch the body, it's all good, nothing happens!

What's this joke about?
