Chapter Ninety-Seven: Exploring the Bottomless Pit
Li Jinlong's words, others didn't understand anything for a while, but Lan Gao and Zhou Xuan already understood what he meant, that is, the legendary place of the treasure of the ancient city of Yanshi Corpse Township does exist, although it is not clear whether it is a treasure or a disaster, but there is such a thing.
Li Jinlong was so shocked and excited, he didn't expect that this treasure, which his ancestors and countless generations of tomb robbers couldn't find after a lifetime of hard work, would really see it for himself today.
When Li Jinlong was stunned, Li Feihu pulled the rope and said with some difficulty: "Third uncle, do you want to pull it?" ”
Li Jinlong came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "Pull, pull, pull up." ”
The basket is not heavy, but the rope of more than 100 meters is not light, and several policemen stepped forward to help, followed by Li Feihu and Wang Dagui to pull the rope, and the speed was suddenly much faster.
The light on the screen also shook violently, and Zhou Xuan poked the ice gas into the cave at the edge of the hole, but he could only extend to six or seven meters with all his might, and the ice gas still failed to return to the previous level, and in the United States, when the ice gas ability reached its peak, it could extend to a distance of eleven or twelve meters in the air.
After the bamboo basket was pulled up, everyone gathered around, the horse lantern in the bamboo basket was still on, and Ling Hui took off the strong light and camera.
Li Jinlong lifted the rooster out, pulled out the dagger on his leg and cut the rope tied to his feet and wings, and as soon as he let go, the rooster flew to the ground and ran away.
It seems that there is air at the bottom of the cave, although it is deep, it is ventilated and not poisonous.
The policemen who came with Ling Hui only brought four steel wire pulleys, and this kind of pulley can only be used alone, so there can only be four people who go down.
It's a matter of choosing the right person.
Lan Gao Gao took a look, pondered for a while, and then said: "Lao Li, for the time being, go down to explore the cave this time, you will decide two people, two of us, you decide your candidate, and I will decide our side." ”
Li Jinlong nodded, then turned around and called Li Feihu, Wang Dagui, and Li Quan to the side and discussed in a low voice.
Lan Gao looked at a few people here, thought for a while, and said to Zhou Xuan: "Xiao Zhou, let's go down together." ”
Zhou Xuan knew the thoughts of the Lan high-level executives, because he was the only one who could guard against that kind of deadly thing, and this secret was unknown to no one else, not even Li Yong and Fang Jianjun.
Fu Ying grabbed Zhou Xuan on the side and said directly: "I don't agree. ”
Wei Haihong was also a little worried, looking at this bottomless hole was really a little scary, he had experienced a lot of major events, and he had seen a lot of big scenes, but like going down to the sinkhole and entering the Yin River, he had never experienced these terrifying things once, and he couldn't help but worry.
Zhou Xuan bit his lip and thought about it, but still opened his mouth: "I'll go down, although this hole is very deep, but the chickens that go down are fine, they are alive and well, and the horse lamp is also on, which proves that it is ventilated and airy, go down to explore first, it should not be as terrible as imagined, don't worry." ”
Say don't worry, that's impossible, the sinkhole is inherently terrifying, not to mention that it has a small entrance and a particularly deep hole like this, which is even more terrifying.
Li Yong and Fang Jianjun both have to replace the blue high-level and fight for this place.
Senior Lan understood what he meant, this was because he didn't want him to take this risk first, so he shook his head with a smile and said: "I have already decided, let Ling Hui notify the bureau to step up the delivery of pulleys and anti-freeze suits, and then you will come down again, hehe, judging from the video, there is no danger." ”
Ling Hui also hurriedly called Director Wu and told them about the situation and needs here, Director Wu asked them to wait here first, and he immediately sent people to send supplies.
The maximum length of the wire pulley is 1,000 meters, and the hole is almost just right, if it is 100 meters deeper, it will not be enough.
Li Jinlong also discussed it, so he and his nephew Li Feihu went down.
The discussion was decided, and the four of them, Lan Gao, Zhou Xuan, Li Jinlong, and Li Feihu, began to lock the wire rope buckle and carry a waterproof backpack, which contained some necessary utensils, and even some food and drinking water.
Li Jinlong and Li Feihu also carried the tools they used in the line they did, and of course Zhou Xuan didn't know what they were, and he hadn't robbed the tomb.
Originally, Wang Qiang and Wang Sheng brothers wanted to go down first, but firstly, they were not as familiar with Li Jinlong, and secondly, it was the blue high-level who was in charge, so they had to wait.
Wei Xiaoqing is a girl, she likes to have fun with fun, but she is still afraid of such dangerous and fearful things, she doesn't know other people anyway, so she doesn't worry, but Zhou Xuan also wants to follow, so she can't help but worry in her heart.
Fu Ying was even more stubborn and pulled Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan loved and pity, sighed and said: "Yingying, don't worry, didn't you also see it in the video, there is no danger, besides, you really don't worry, wait a while, after the Public Security Bureau sends the equipment, you follow them down, okay?" ”
Fu Ying let go of her hand at this time, although she didn't speak, her eyes were full of concern and worry.
The first to go down to the entrance of the cave was Li Jinlong, wearing a hard hat on his head, turning on the strong light switch on the hat, kicking the rock wall, wearing special gloves on his hands, and holding the wire rope into the hole.
Li Jinlong also had a red cloth wrapped around his waist, and the red cloth fluttered in the air.
This is the same as the meaning at the beginning, the red cloth is the meaning of warding off evil spirits, but in Zhou Xuan's view, he feels that it is even more frightening.
Li Feihu, who went down second, Li Feihu is five big and three thick, and his body is very strong, because he often does those tomb robbers, he is also bold, but he does not have the slightest expression of fear.
The third is Lan Gao, looking at his movements when he goes down, he is very skilled and agile, even more neat than Li Jinlong's uncle and nephew.
In the end, it was Zhou Xuan, who was the only one whose movements were clumsy, and he slowly went down the rock wall, and then raised his head to Fu Ying, Wei Haihong and Wei Xiaoqing above the entrance of the cave and waved his hand and smiled.
When it fell another forty or fifty meters, the people at the entrance of the cave could no longer see Zhou Xuan clearly, and only saw a little bit of light, and after a few minutes, even that light could not be seen.
Li Yong and Fang Jianjun immediately asked everyone to retreat slightly, and picked up the stones at the entrance of the cave and threw them behind, so as not to fall down and hit the people who fell down, and the stones that fell so high would be fatal to hit people.
Li Jinlong and Li Feihu's uncle and nephew are not familiar enough with the use of pulleys, they are used to ropes, because if you rob the tomb, even if there is a deeper tomb hole, the rope of 100 meters is enough, which is like this hole, thousands of meters!
The things that are used less are naturally not so familiar, and the blue high-level is obviously skilled, and the downward posture is very natural and fast.
Zhou Xuanhao still had an experience in the United States, and when he descended to one or two hundred meters, he slowly became proficient, and his speed gradually became faster.
The cave was a little more spacious as it went down, and the diameter of the hole increased to about four or five meters.
However, at a depth of nearly a kilometer, it took about an hour to descend to the bottom of the cave.
When you reach the bottom, the width of the cave is about ten meters, and there are natural stone walls on all sides, which are by no means carved out by the population, and such a deep distance cannot be made by artificial.
As soon as Li Jinlong reached the end, he said softly: "It's the end!" ”
It's just that although his voice was soft, a series of echoes sounded in the cave: "In the end...... In the end...... In the end......"
Although it was Li Jinlong's own voice, everyone sounded a little creepy.
The four of them went down to the bottom one after another, and the blue top turned on the walkie-talkie, tried it, and spoke, but there was no response from the hole.
It's a little strange, Lan Gao asked Li Jinlong's uncle and nephew and Zhou Xuan to each take the walkie-talkie and try it, and the contact with the above is useless, but the four of them can use it in the cave.
Lan Gao said: "Forget it, no matter what, it may be over the distance, well, everyone be careful, let's see the situation first!" ”
All four of them turned on the bright lights and looked around at the bottom of the cave.
The bottom of this cave has a range of twenty or thirty squares, and there are extended holes in the east and west, and there are no holes in the north and south, which are stone walls. In the west direction, strong cold air blows out of the hole, but in the hole to the east, there is heating.
The bottom of the cave is also a slope of 30 degrees, and on the lower side is the western black hole that blows air.
The entrance to the east is about three meters high, and above the entrance is the five words of "Nine Songs and Eighteen Caves" seen in the video.
Li Jinlong untied the wire lock, put the strong light above his head to the hole in the west and took a look, the hole entrance is much shorter, only more than one meter high, Li Jinlong went to the entrance of the cave and looked in a low voice, the hole is a dark river, the water flow is very rapid, black whirring, you can't see the depth, the downstream direction on the right is full, there is no gap in the hole, the upstream water surface on the left and the rock on the top have about half a foot of space on the right, and the cold air is blown out of this space.
Li Jinlong stayed for a minute and a half, his face was as if the cold wind was blowing in winter, cold and painful, and he quickly retreated.
The rocks in the ground are smooth and clean, and there is not a single stone, presumably the stones thrown or fallen from the top have rolled down into the Yin River and washed away, so the ground is smooth and clean.
Li Jinlong called several people from Zhou Xuanlan's senior level together, and then entered the entrance of the Jiuqu Eighteen Caves.
The old ancestor refers to this direction, but only this road is feasible, needless to say in the Yin River cave in the west, it will not work.
After entering the hole to the east, the hole gradually widened, and when it advanced to fifty or sixty meters, the space suddenly became larger, as if entering a super hall of five or six hundred square meters, the stalagmites in the cave were upside down on the top, and the top was about thirty or forty meters high, these upside-down pointed stalagmites were like big nails, Zhou Xuan was thinking in his heart, would they fall down and nail on his head?
