Chapter 822: The Cave Shakes
The passage is not very long, and after walking for a while, there is the end in front, but at the end is another hole that goes vertically downward, and there is still a rope ladder on the edge of the hole.
Retreating now is all dangerous, and if you don't move forward, you won't be able to find the secret of the elixir and the elixir, so Ye Cheng can only lead everyone to continue to the cave with great determination.
Although the hole can only accommodate one person to climb down this time, this time the hole is quite deep, and he looks at the time on his phone from time to time, and he crawls for five minutes without reaching the end. Next, Ye Cheng climbed down for nearly ten minutes before reaching the bottom.
After descending to the bottom, Ye Cheng raised the phone high and let the light from the phone illuminate the surroundings. The distance that the light spread out was not very long, but the place covered by the light was an open space, and from this situation, it should be a cave.
After temporarily confirming that it was safe, Ye Cheng shook the rope ladder, and then shouted towards the entrance of the cave: "Okay, let's go down in order."
The sound traveled up the cave, and the people who heard it at the entrance of the cave above began to slowly descend the cave.
And Ye Cheng took advantage of the time when everyone was going down to the cave, he first looked around to see the places where the light couldn't shine just now.
Ye Cheng raised his right hand and held the phone in front of him, and walked forward cautiously. Little by little, the light illuminated the darkness, and the rock walls of the cave appeared in front of him. When the light shines on the rock wall, you can see that there is something strange on the rock wall, as if something has been carved into it.
When you look closer, it turns out that the rock wall is carved with murals and words.
Approaching the rock wall, Ye Cheng looked at it carefully. He couldn't understand the words depicted on it, but the murals outlined by those lines could probably understand what they meant.
He walked a little bit to the right along the rock wall, looking as he went.
The mural depicts nomadic people cheering around a bonfire. I can guess that the people in the painting are nomads, and that's because Ye Cheng saw that there were tents painted on the murals, as well as wild wolves, cattle and sheep and other animals.
In the beginning, the nomads were very happy, dancing on bonfires, grazing, and gathering together......
But as the mural kept looking down, it seemed that things were starting to change. One day, a group of nomads appeared dressed differently from them, and at first they sat around eating and drinking. But on a moonlit night, those who suddenly broke in began to slaughter the sleeping nomads.
The nomads were not slaughtered, and many became captives.
The men began to have the captives build houses in their original places that were different from their tents. Judging by the patterns drawn on the rock faces, the newly built houses resemble ancient court-style buildings. As the days passed, as the captives worked hard, the buildings became more and more and more like a town.
Towns are getting bigger and more prosperous.
For some unknown reason, large groups of people began to leave in the seven directions of the town, heading in different directions. With the sharp decline in the number of people, the town has lost its former prosperity, but it has not fallen into decline, and is still slowly growing.
And the seven teams of men and horses who left the town also plundered the tribes of the nomads in various places, using the captives to build ancient buildings and establish towns as before.
After the town was built, the seven teams continued to expand, plundering the nomadic tribes to build the town.
In the end, because of the struggle for turf, a conflict was launched and a war began.
At this point, the mural ended, and Ye Cheng walked along the rock wall and returned to the same place. Each stroke has its own meaning, so it will be depicted, and this one in front of Ye Cheng is of course no exception, but he doesn't understand the meaning of it.
This mural is all about looting, killing, and building, as if it were the origin of everything.
It's just that Ye Cheng didn't understand for a while what the origin of this was, what did those people who were like nomads represent? And who are those who broke into the nomads? Why did they kill nomads and build another kind of town? This is information that can't be obtained in the mural, so Ye Cheng can't figure it out.
The only hope was the words on the mural, but unfortunately he didn't know the words.
In fact, during the time when Ye Cheng was inspecting the murals, everyone had already gone down to the bottom of the cave, but they didn't want to disturb Ye Cheng, so they kept standing at the bottom of the cave and watching.
When Ye Cheng turned his back to the mural, Zhu Ziding shouted: "Little master, we are down"
And this shout actually made the cave shake, and a large amount of rubble fell from the roof of the cave.
The violent shaking of the cave made Ye Cheng unsteady on his feet. Because of the unsteady standing of the body, the mobile phone in the hand is dangling, so that the light is shaking in the cave.
"What's going on? Why is the cave shaking so much?" the princes must have been shouting wildly.
Zhu Zixing was worried about Ye Cheng, so he also shouted: "Little master, are you okay?" Have you ever been hit by rubble? ”
As the two of them shouted, the cave shook more violently, the rubble on the roof of the cave fell more frequently, and even the murals on the rock walls began to fall off.
Ye Cheng put his hands on the top of his head to prevent him from hitting his head at any time. But the violent shaking made Ye Cheng unsteady on his feet, and finally fell to the ground.
Ye Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, had a compact face, his brows were tightly locked, and he had a sense of crisis on his face. He knew very well that if the shaking did not stop, the whole cave would probably collapse, and everyone would be buried in the cave.
Ye Cheng must not let such a thing happen. He gradually calmed down and looked up in the direction of the five apprentices.
The five apprentices kept shouting because of the shaking at this time.
And now that I think about it carefully, the reason why the cave shook violently was also because of the shouting that Zhu Ziding had just started. If you think about it this way, Ye Cheng probably understands. He knew that some caves with bad geology would collapse due to huge sound waves.
I'm not sure if that's the reason, but I'll have to give it a try.
Ye Cheng hurriedly got up from the ground and ran towards the five apprentices. Rubble kept falling from the roof of the cave, and although he tried very hard to dodge, there were still a lot of hits on him. But Ye Cheng finally endured the pain of being hit by the gravel and came to the five apprentices, he grabbed Zhu Ziding's arm and shouted in a low voice: "Don't shout, if you shout again, this cave will collapse"
Wu Tie, who was a little calm, looked at Ye Cheng and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
In order to calm them down, Ye Cheng briefly explained: "This may be due to everyone's shouting, so as long as everyone calms down, they should be able to stop the cave from shaking."
After explaining, Ye Cheng glared at Zhu Ziding angrily.
When Zhu Ziding saw Ye Cheng's eyes that could eat people, he was so frightened that he covered his mouth with his hands, revealing a cowardly look and not daring to say half a word.
And the other four apprentices also calmed down and stopped shouting in a panic.
