We went down the rope of the original well. The previous well rope has long been rotten, but now this one was specially replaced by me, and the water used for watering flowers and the like is extracted from here, so it is not abandoned.

A few workers went down first, and I said that I would wait until they were finished, so that the rope would not be able to bear the weight of several people and break. The workers in front of him stopped advancing after going down to about half the depth, saying that there was a round hole in the middle of the well, and asked if we would like to go in and have a look.

The old man said that the valuable thing is not necessarily at the bottom of the well, but most likely in the hole opened next to it. I also felt that Lao Er was right, so I told them to continue to climb along the round hole.

The round hole appears to have been carefully polished by hand, and is smooth on all sides, with only occasional moss in small patches.

The hole is so narrow that only a single person can kneel to advance.

After climbing about a few dozen meters, the worker at the front suddenly stopped, saying that he was afraid that there was a ghost in front of him. The man who followed him said that he was superstitious, that there were still ghosts in what age, and that even if there were, they would have starved to death a long time ago. I immediately agreed with him, and comforted them that the two old men standing at the mouth of the well were immortals who knew astronomy and geography, and they said that they would be fine.

Hearing me say this, the person at the front was willing to move forward again.

After climbing a few dozen meters, the front suddenly opened up. I wandered around with a flashlight and found that this place was not only open, but also a different kind of cave. A large flashlight in the space will not play a role, fortunately, the old man of the land asked us to bring some glow sticks down, saying that if the flashlight is disturbed, the glow sticks can save the emergency. Each of us wrung a few glow sticks and threw them out in all directions.

It is estimated that as soon as those glow sticks landed, I only heard a loud "boom" coming from the ground, and then there was a "squeaky squeak" sound everywhere, from far and near, as if it was coming in our direction.

The workers were stunned, and after one of them dared to learn from the movie and shouted "get down", the others reacted and hurriedly crawled on the ground motionless. I didn't lie down at the time, I just hid behind two stone pillars.

The sound of "squeaky squeak" did not stop, but got closer and closer. With the faint light emitted by the glow sticks, I caught a glimpse of countless moth-like things flying towards us all over the sky, almost completely covering the bright light emitted by the glow sticks; Then I felt something fly in front of me, hit me in the face, and stumble away. As soon as I turned around, countless things flew in front of me, hit my face, and stumbled away......

I don't know how long it took like this—it felt like a long time anyway—before the cave became quiet. A few of us threw out more glow sticks, which brightened up the whole hole.

This time, I was able to see the general appearance of the hole. The hole is boxy, like the house we live in on the ground. The perimeter of the cave was polished and smooth, just like the passage we had passed through, and in some places even reflected the glow of the glow sticks. In the middle of the cave there was a table about the size of a ping-pong table, made entirely of stone, with nothing on it and bare.

Now we know what the things that flew over just now were, but some bats, frightened by the bright light, flew out in a swarm. He was lying on a nearby wall, not moving.

I thought that Master Gao didn't design this cave just to raise bats, there must be something more important.

Based on the words of the old man of the land and the historical facts, it can be inferred that there are treasures hidden in secret places like this. But the current situation is not optimistic, because the whole cave is empty. Some workers said that it didn't make sense to just be in such a basement, why didn't there even have anything valuable? In the end, we all focused on the table in the middle.

But there was nothing special about that platform, it was no different from the ones we had seen on the ground.

After circling around it twice, I found that the bottom of the platform was not supported by the four pillars that I usually see, but a round stone pillar in the center of the platform. I squatted down to see what was going on, and another worker also squatted down to see what was going on, and our hands were all on the table at the same time. Somehow, the platform suddenly turned, and there was a "boom" sound.

The worker who squatted down with me just now was very curious, and then pushed hard in the direction that the table had just turned, but he didn't expect the table to really turn.

When it rotates to 90 degrees, it is a bit difficult to make the countertop continue to rotate, and several of us need to exert force at the same time; When the countertop rotated half a circle, one hundred and eighty degrees, there was a sudden clicking sound from the bottom, as if it had turned to the end and broken the bearings inside. At this moment, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound behind me, which was louder than the sound of the bat just now and the sound under the countertop, and I don't know how many times louder.

At first, I didn't react, I just stood there stunned. I saw that the mouths of several other workers were opened in an "O" shape, and their eyes were wide open and they looked directly in my direction. I thought it was the wall behind me that had collapsed, so I crouched down and quickly got under the platform before I looked back to see what had happened to them so much.

It wasn't the wall that had collapsed, but the wall in front of it had cracked, like the door of a room, from the middle to the sides, and a faint light was shining through the cracks.

The crack was so small that it seemed that only one person could enter it sideways, and several of them wanted it to open wider, so they divided into two groups and pushed the stone door vigorously on both sides. But no matter how hard they tried, the two stone doors did not move, as if they had not moved at all, and were just two stones growing in the earth.

So a few of us had to settle down and hold it back.

Fortunately, when they passed, someone pulled over there and pushed here, and soon it passed, and trouble arose when it was my turn to be an old pig. The big guys know that there are three big old pigs: big heads, big bellies, and big buttocks; It just so happens that these three are precisely the biggest obstacles in the present and the past. I didn't plan to go there, but then I thought it wouldn't be good if I had something of value in it. As a result, a few people dragged me over stiffly, and a piece of skin on my stomach was rubbed off.

There was another scene in front of me, different from the previous basement, which seemed very shoddy, far less smooth and smooth than the one outside; There were still piles of dirt and sand on the ground, large or small, as if it had not yet been completed; The whole space was filled with a musty smell, so pungent that several of them couldn't help but hide their noses and walk.

In the very center of the ceiling hung a shiny thing, like a lamp, from which the light that we had seen outside, through which the light that came through the cracks; It's faint, but it's full of energy.

Like the basement outside, there is a platform in the middle of this basement. One of the workers was very curious and anxious, so he hurried over to see what was going on. When he was about three or four meters away from the platform, the floor under his feet suddenly shook, as if an earthquake had occurred; Then, centered on the platform in the middle, the floor within a few meters of it collapsed. The worker was in that range, and naturally he fell into it.

At first, we thought it was an earthquake, so we were all scared and ran outside, until the place where it collapsed fell silent.

I said don't run, don't run, it's not an earthquake!

It was only in front of us that we could see clearly, and the area around the platform in the middle of about four meters square had all fallen. Fell into a tunnel about ten meters deep. It seems that Master Gao deliberately designed it like this, which is equivalent to a mechanism, in order to let everyone who approaches the platform fall into the tunnel. The worker who had just fallen shouted from below, telling us to pull him up with a rope.

However, we didn't bring rope with us when we came, so we had to assign another worker to go back and fetch it.

The worker said that one person was a little scared and needed to be accompanied by another person.

I agreed, and told them to go and come back quickly.

The workers didn't want to leave yet, saying that they wanted to see the strange, and he didn't go out until I promised him that I would wait for them to come back before looking for them.

I asked what happened to the worker who fell, was he injured? The worker said that it was okay and did not find any injuries on his body for the time being.

Judging by the reverberation of the sound, the trap below is not only very deep, but it should also be surrounded by stone walls, because the echo is very loud.

I threw a glow stick to the worker below and told him to walk around and see if there was any passage underneath.

The rest of us sat on the basement floor, guessing how the platform in front of us was different from the one outside, and talking to the worker below, afraid that he would be alone below, so we used words to suppress the alarm.

After a long time, the workers who went back to get the rope did not return.

The worker who fell told us that there was no passage below, and that the walls around it were the same as the walls of the basement outside, shiny and bare. I'm thinking about it, fortunately, someone went before, otherwise, it's likely that it would be our group of people who have fallen into the trap now, in that case, it is estimated that it is basically impossible to climb up from below without the help of others. It can be seen that Master Gao's purpose in setting up this organ is to put to death those who approach the platform at will.

After a while, the workers who took the rope came back, and a few of us pulled the rope one by one like a tug-of-war, and then put it down.

The workers below are shouting again: Is there a longer rope? I can't reach it!

It's over, it seems that this trap is deeper than we thought. They wanted to go back and get it. I told them to take no idea how long it would take to go back and forth, and then told them all to untie their belts, connect them one by one, and then put them down.

This time it was enough, and the workers who fell were quickly pulled up.

The two workers who had gone out said that they had planned to bring the ladder down, but they got stuck in the hole and couldn't get it in, so they gave up.

I asked them what they were doing with the ladder, and they said they were going to get to the platform opposite. This situation is the time for me to show my skills, how can there be a ladder? What did my old pig say back then, he was the marshal of the canopy, and it was easy to control the clouds, how could such a small distance stop my progress?

But I didn't say that, I just told them to rest assured that we have our own way.

So, while they were all discussing how to get to the other side, I didn't hesitate to rush towards the platform as before.

What I didn't expect was that I jumped up without hesitation, and then I also fell straight into the trap without hesitation, just like the worker before me. At first, I wondered, thinking how did it go down this time? Later, I realized that I was now falling vertically and accelerating under gravity, until finally I made a "bang", and my whole body was completely slapped on the ground of the trap.

A few workers haven't reacted yet, saying why did the boss disappear all of a sudden? Later, when I heard my shouting, I realized that I had fallen into a trap.

So, a few people pulled my old pig up as before.

The only difference is that this time they pulled much heavier than the last time.

The workers asked me what fell? I'm embarrassed to say that I made a mistake, but I just said that I accidentally fell.

I just thought about it below, one of the fundamental reasons for the failure of Tengyun Driving Fog may be that I read the mantra wrong, and the second may be that I haven't been flying clouds and fog for a long time, so I am unfamiliar; Perhaps the latter is more likely.

I silently recited the mantra in my heart a few times, and only after confirming that it was correct did I test fly a few times in the surrounding open space, until I was sure that I would not fall again.

Fortunately, it didn't fall this time, otherwise it would have been a big mess.

This table, like the one outside, was supported by the only column at the bottom. This is what we observed from a distance, and the actual situation is that I am on the countertop, because all around here has sunk in, and only the countertop and the floor below the countertop are left.

There is an iron ring on the countertop, which appears to be set up to open a certain mechanism.

Strangely, no matter how hard I tried to twist it or which direction I twisted, the hoop and the part underneath it still didn't move.

The old pig thinks that he still has some strength, and he has encountered such a difficult character today.

After pausing and thinking for a while, I remembered the scene of the table outside turning before, and suddenly realized: maybe the principle of the two is the same!

If you want to turn the countertop, it is obviously not possible to stand on the countertop, you have to go down to the bottom of the countertop; And because the floor around me was sinking, for the sake of safety, I decided to fly outside first, and then fly back again, all the way to the bottom of the countertop; And then fly back and fly back to the countertop. If that's right, then we can open the hoop and see what is going on.

Sure enough, when I stood on the table again and turned the hoop, the hoop and the stone beneath it were easily pulled out, revealing a three-foot square pit. If there's nothing in this pit, it's going to be a disappointment; Fortunately, there is a small square box inside the pit, as everyone imagined, which is very delicately made, and there is a layer of copper wrapped on the outside, which shows the importance of the things inside.

There was a big copper lock on the outside of the small box, which looked very strong, and the copper lock was rusty, so it might not be open for a while, so I decided to go back to the ground and talk about it later.

We didn't just go out like that.

Previously, at the moment when the stone door was opened, a bright light revealed through the crack in the stone door, and when I entered, I found that it was a glittering thing on the top of the ceiling.

According to common sense, there is no lamp that can last for thousands of years without going out, and the only possibility is that it is not a lamp.

Since it is not a lamp, according to what I have seen and seen the old pig, it must be the legendary night pearl, or some kind of stone; Either way, they're all priceless.

So, before I go out, I'm going to have to go up and take it down to see what happens.

It's a nearly transparent, round solid like a glass ball, similar to a stone to the touch, but smoother than a stone.

It's just that the basement was relatively dim at that time, and I couldn't see it clearly.

Following the original path, we were soon back on the ground.

Time flies! How did it come to night before you knew it?

When I got home, I used wire to open the copper lock, and it was full of rust, and it took a lot of effort to get it open.

To my disappointment, there was nothing in the small box except a thick layer of ash.

The old man of the land said that it was not right, it should not have said nothing, they just turned to ashes.

As for what exactly was in it before, none of us came to a conclusion at the time.

Think about it, too, in the face of a pile of dust, how much can imagination unfold? Taibai Lao'er said that it was very likely that it was filled with silver or something in the past, but it was very old, and all of it was oxidized.

I still agree with Taibai Lao'er's statement. As for the stone that can shine, the old man said that it doesn't look like a night pearl, because he has seen a real night pearl, and people are completely transparent, not so vague. As for what it was, he said he couldn't get it for sure, and he wouldn't know until he asked the other old people later.

When a few workers heard that the few things they had worked so hard to find were not worth anything, they were disappointed. They must have thought that it was something of gold, silver, jewelry, or something of value, and who would have thought that it was something like this.

It's actually not a broken thing for me, because the round thing still glows at night, which is equivalent to a light bulb of tens of watts, so we often use it as a lamp, and we can also save a lot of electricity bills.

When I kissed Sister Qing at night, Sister Qing suddenly told me that it was a pity, the silver had turned to ashes; If only he had spent it himself! That's right, it's worthless to think about it, but the money he worked so hard to earn has fallen so much and become worthless dust, if he knows, I don't know how he feels.
