The cave where we are located is very large, and the top of the cave seems to have traces of artificial excavation, probably in order to highlight the majestic and magnificent atmosphere of the two waterfalls gathered into a pool, so that the whole cave is like a world outside the world, and it must have taken several years to build the original project.

The fat man and I tossed back and forth two or three times, until we gathered a bunch of wooden branches, and then we were willing to give up, the fat man did not get so much because he was afraid of the cold, but because everyone's whole body was soaked, and if you want to dry it all, for the endurance of the fire and the fire, both are indispensable, and we also need a little hot food to replenish our strength and restore our body temperature.

Counting the time, we have been at the bottom of the lake until now, almost five or six hours, and now with these branches and poles, this is undoubtedly a very favorable condition for us, in such an 'ice cave', there is a bonfire that can be heated and lit, and it is also a gift from heaven after several hardships.

Just when I was worried about how to ignite these things, I took out two flints and steels from the sealed bag in my backpack, and I thought to myself that this former soldier is different, and he is quite reliable in any environment.

We gathered around the campfire, simply ate some hot food to replenish our strength, rested almost, and recovered a lot of spirits, but this week the professor was still in a coma, and people couldn't help but worry that the road below might not be able to go on.

The fat man wanted to walk around after eating, maybe the outside of the cave entrance is not absolutely safe, the fat man walked towards the depths of the cave alone, the bottom of the entire cave is distributed with large and small stone caves, the stone cave we are in seems to be the largest one, because all the attention was on Professor Zhou and recovering his physical strength, he didn't look closely at it for a while.

I was in a different situation from the fat man, I was entangled with the red Jiujiu and almost killed me, and there were a lot of new injuries in the whole person, and I just wanted to rest for a while in my head, so I didn't go with the fat man, I watched the fat man go deeper and deeper inside, and hurriedly greeted: "Fatty, don't go too far, it's almost over." ”

The fat man walked to the other end of the cave and said, "It's okay, I'll see how deep this hole is." As soon as the words fell, the fat man sighed.

Everyone looked in the direction of the fat man, and I shouted, "Fat man, what's wrong?" ”

From the depths of the cave came a laughing voice, "What's the trouble, there is no endless road, there is a stone gate here, and there is a painting on it that I don't understand." ”

Gu Ling and I glanced at each other, and heard the fat man say that there was a stone door in the depths of the cave, so he quickly put on his clothes and walked inside, leaving Hentmore alone to take care of Professor Zhou.

The deeper we walked into the cave, the darker it became, and You Hanshan told us that these walls might be because of some light-absorbing paint when they were built and transported, so we all had to turn on the lighting tools, which made them look brighter.

I walked behind the fat man, pushed the fat man away, and sure enough, there was a stone door, "I'll look at the mural." ”

As soon as the fat man retreated to the side, everyone stood in front of the stone gate in front of him, I shone a strong flashlight on the stone gate, and took a step back, this stone gate was about more than one person high.

The color of the mural on the stone door is also very bright, the content of the painting is as the fat man said, a little weird, the door on the left is painted with an animal like a deer, but after looking at it for a few seconds, I don't think it looks like a deer, the tail is like an oxtail, the coat is clear and green, and there are two horns on the head, the animal's front feet are in a creeping state, as if talking to something.

Gu Ling suddenly said: "This is the horn end"

"This is the horn end?" I looked at Gu Ling suspiciously.

Gu Ling nodded, "Once Genghis Khan in order to pay tribute to his concubine Hulan, the troops were stationed in a desolate valley for a month, and when I dreamed that night, the thing I dreamed of was it. ”

I thought to myself, I know, when Yelu Chucai told Genghis Khan that this thing knows all words, and it usually appears in the bloody and chaotic times, and that everything in the dream is providential.

The fat man said strangely on the side: "What does an old emperor do when he has nothing to do with drawing this thing on the door, could it be that he wants to fill his stomach when he is hungry?" ”

"Fatty, don't keep thinking about whether you can eat or not, you think everyone is just like you."

The fat man turned his head and snorted, "Didn't I ask if I didn't understand?" ”

Gu Ling said: "Maybe it's the realization that the endless killing should be stopped. After Gu Ling finished speaking, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, as if he was the one who had been invaded on the battlefield.

The right side of the stone gate is painted with a blue wolf, which is very different from the stone wall at the bottom of the lake, and the blue wolf in front of him is more mysterious, this blue wolf has a hideous face, grinning its fangs and making a posture of jumping down in the air, in stark contrast to the mural on the left, while longing for peace and peace and security, on the other hand, there is endless killing and war, it seems that a generation of kings is not clear how to choose before they die.

"Are we going through this stone gate now?" Qi Li looked at Gu Lingdao.

Gu Ling shook his head, "Don't worry, you guys go and see what you find in the other stone caves first." ”

In the whole cave, the stone cave is said to be five or six, I want to rely on the force alone, there will be no result for a while, so I simply pulled the fat man to follow the force and You Hanshan to check together, half an hour later, we walked back from the outside together, some of those caves are also very deep, but there is nothing but the protruding rock at the end.

"Looks like we're going to be behind this stone door." I took my flashlight and shone it through the crack in the stone door.

"I'll do it." Gu Lingdao.

Although I knew that Gu Ling's skills were extraordinary, but for this secret door of the mechanism, he expressed a trace of suspicion, Gu Ling never cared about the eyes of others, nodded at me and ignored me.

I saw Gu Ling pull out the silver wire on his waist, and then peeled off the handle of the dagger, I really saw the dark red dagger in Gu Ling's hand, the whole body was as thin as a cicada's wings, the flashlight shone on it, the light actually passed through the dagger, the whole looked very exquisite, I thought to myself, this kind of sharp weapon, no wonder we used the bullets at that time to penetrate the red Jiujiu, but Gu Ling was able to cut its body.

Gu Ling tied the silver thread to one end of the dagger, the whole person stepped back, grabbed both sides of the dagger with the fingers of his right hand, and flew towards the crack in the stone door. ”

The fat man and I haven't reacted yet, the dagger actually flew out from the top along the stone crack, Gu Ling borrowed it in the air, and the dagger was borrowed by her in her hand, and then pulled, and suddenly heard a few muffled sounds behind the stone door, and kept making clicking sounds, and everyone saw that the mechanism should be triggered, so they all retreated together.

The stone door slowly opened in front of our eyes, and Gu Ling turned around and said in Mongolian that we didn't understand: "Take Professor Zhou, let's go." ”

Kentmoor immediately carried Professor Zhou on his back, and the fat man and I looked inexplicable, and the fat man wondered: "So it's open?" ”

I let out a long sigh, "After all, you and I have too little knowledge, so we can't help it, let's go." ”

Behind the stone gate is a long passage, in addition to the ground is artificially carved and arranged, it is very flat to walk, the two sides of the passage seem to be pure natural, the concave protrudes with large and small rocks, the whole passage is not wide and high, just enough for two or three adult men to walk side by side.

The fat man and I walked at the back of the line, looking around curiously, "Aren't you afraid of having a mechanism?" ”

I patted the fat man and startled him, "If there is a mechanism, Gu Ling and You Hanshan will not act so rashly." ”

The fat man snorted: "What's the trouble, when did you lose your own way of thinking, why didn't I know?" ”

Being said by the fat man, I suddenly realized something, it seems that all the way over, everyone is basically obedient to the words of the ancient spirit, I don't know when it started, she actually used her as a talisman, I think she is an extremely reliable person in times of crisis, but it is still too naïve to think about, no matter what, the reason why I have now, it is also she who pulled me into the water, in the end, but just want to find what she wants, if it really comes to a dilemma, I am afraid that I will become the one who is abandoned.

The fat man saw that I suddenly fell into deep thought, and said, "Are you playing the melancholy poet again?"

"I'm worried about Professor Zhou," I said, turning my gaze to Professor Zhou.

As we gradually entered the depths of the tunnel, the four walls were cold, and the drops of water fell under our feet, making a crisp sound.

After a long time of not seeing the sun and being in the dark, my concept of time became worse and worse, and after walking for about ten minutes, the fat man suddenly said to me: "What's the trouble, have you heard the sound of a baby crying?" ”

I wondered, "What baby sound?" ”

"It's—" Before the fat man could finish speaking, there was a small whimpering cry behind him.

I thought to myself that it wouldn't be so effective, just wanted to listen carefully, the voice suddenly disappeared again, my heart was furious, and there was a layer of goosebumps all over my body, I hurriedly called the ancient spirit in front, "Gu Ling, there seems to be something behind." ”

As soon as everyone heard me say that there was something behind me, they all turned to look at the tunnel behind me, and Li Li shook the flashlight around several times, "Nothing, do you see that thing?" ”

"I didn't see it, but the fat man said there was a crying baby, and before I could listen carefully, the sound was gone." I said as I looked in the direction behind me.

Seeing that my expression didn't look fake, Gu Ling walked over from the front of the team with a flashlight, "You stay here and don't move, I'll go and have a look at the back." After Gu Ling finished speaking, he turned on the searchlight on his head, and the illumination of the two light sources was enough for Gu Ling to have an unobstructed view of the surroundings of the tunnel.
