Changbai Mountain is a potential fire mountain, according to historical records, the last small-scale eruption should be a thousand years ago, now although the volcano is silent, but the nearby geothermal heat is extremely rich, many volcanic geological crevices and lava vents are maintained at extremely high temperatures, behind this dragon seal stone, maybe there is a hot crack in the ground, will come out of the smell of sulfur.

This is undoubtedly good news for Mengli them, in such an environment, it is definitely more economical to have a stable heat source than to light a bonfire, but the black huge coiled dragon sealing stone is pressed on it, and it weighs more than ten tons at least, and they don't have any mountain opening equipment, so it is a bit difficult to turn it over.

"Little brother," Mengli, whose face was pale just now and had now turned ruddy, looked at the little brother who was supporting her, and smiled, "I'm rested, you don't need to support me." ”

The little brother didn't seem to believe it, but when he saw her ruddy face, he also put his mind at ease, but said, "You just recovered now, take a rest." ”

Mengli stared at the angular face of the little brother with a confused expression, and didn't react, but her heart turned a thousand times: The little brother will care about people?! Brother cares about me? Oh, my God!

"What's wrong?" The little brother was stunned when he saw Mengli, and wondered.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm flattered by your sudden concern!" Mengli quipped.

"......" The little brother was speechless for a while, still holding Mengli and looking at Wu Xie and them.

Mengli smiled, she knew that this was a powerful man like a god and a Buddha. As long as he is by his side, he can block all the disasters and pains for you, he has no words, he will not be happy, he will not grieve, he is always like a porcelain doll, standing there silently, looking at everything lightly, however, you know that he cares about you.

It's just that he's not good at expressing himself...... Mengli's eyes darkened.

The fat man is a man of action, he raised his arm and beckoned Wu Xie and them to move the stone, a few people went up and carried it twice, and a group of people looked up and sweated profusely, their faces were red and their ears were red, and the stone did not move at all.

The fat man panted and scolded: "No, old man, I said earlier that our equipment is not good, you look at the current situation, how good it is to have some explosives." ”

Monk Hua said: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, our old man has crossed more bridges than you walked, and it's right not to bring explosives, you say that we are now at the bottom, and the snow is above your head, so you can just put a cannon hole there, shake the snow on it, and bury it alive." ”

The fat man didn't have anything to refute, and at this time, Wu Xie saw that there were many stones of different sizes stuck on the lower edge of the Coiling Dragon Sealing Stone, and he had an idea and said to them: "Maybe you don't need explosives, let me come." ”

Saying that, Wu Xie took out a masonry hammer from his luggage, walked to the side of the Panlong Sealing Stone, carefully checked the following several larger stones, and then aimed at one of them and knocked it inside, the stone was subjected to more than ten tons of pressure on the one hand, and received Wu Xie's lateral hammering, and immediately cracked a crack, followed by a series of stone friction sounds from Carrara, and the Panlong Sealing Stone on it began to slide along the stone slope because of the sudden change in support.

Mengli and the others hurriedly retreated, and the Panlong Sealing Stone slid down a few inches, and began to tilt again, but this stone was too heavy, and it stopped after sliding a little bit, even so, they still saw the back of the sealing stone, revealing a rock crack in the mountain.

The crack in the rock is the width of the head, people can barely pass through, look at the edge of the hole, it is a rock layer tearing, there is no trace of artificial excavation, and the smell of sulfur comes out of it.

The fat man turned on the flashlight, reached in and looked at it, turned his head and said, "It's very warm inside, but the angle is too uncomfortable to shine anything, and besides, there seem to be words on the stone wall inside." ”

"What's written?" Wu Xie asked.

The fat man squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said, "I don't understand, I don't know what to write." Saying that, he tried to get into it, but the fat man was indeed too fat, and this hole was obviously not suitable for him, and he squeezed it a few times, but he couldn't squeeze in.

Seeing this, Mengli smiled: "Fatty, your body size ...... If you take off your coat, you can only barely get in! ”

"Oh, I didn't think of that!" The fat man slapped his head and took off his coat, and he really barely got in.

Mengli followed, wearing an overcoat, and easily got in.

The fat man turned his head to see this scene and exclaimed, "I'll go!" Girl, you ...... Okay! When will I be like you! ”

"You?" Mengli glanced the fat man up and down a few times, "Think about it!" "She began to practice physical flexibility since she was a child, and it was as hard as dancing practice, or even worse, and sometimes she couldn't slow down after stretching her tendons for a week in order to train her physical flexibility.

The fat man scratched his head when he saw Mengli's almost disgusted eyes, a little embarrassed: "Hehe...... I'm just talking, just talking. ”

Chen Pi Ah Si asked Ye Cheng, Lang Feng and Pan Zi to stay outside, there was something to take care of, and the remaining few people followed behind the fat man and Mengli, and also got into the gap.

The whole place is a crack in the rock when the mountain moves, and after entering, I find that the gap is a steep downward trend, and the inside is very dark, and it looks extremely deep, I am afraid that the passage is inside the mountain.

The space at the opening of the gap is not large, two people cannot be side by side, and it is very difficult to walk in the gap, the bottom is full of fast stones, sharp edges and corners, the smell of sulfur in the hole is very strong, the temperature is at least thirty degrees, touch it, even the stones are hot.

Mengli and the others walked a few steps forward with their hands and feet, and the fat man shone a flashlight to the side and said, "Look, what are these words?" ”

Wu Xie turned his head, the words were not carved on the wall of the gap, but on a horizontal bottom stone, which was a few unfamiliar words, a bit like Chinese, and a bit like Korean, carved very messy.

"Jurchen text." Mengli glanced at it.

Monk Hua leaned over and looked at it, nodded, and agreed: "It is indeed a Jurchen character." ”

"What is written?" The fat man asked.

Monk Hua wanted to study it, Mengli frowned, and said, "Copy it down first, and then study it later, it's not the time yet." ”

Monk Hua thought of their current situation, nodded, and copied these words into the notebook.

The fat man took the lead, and several people lined up and continued to walk deeper into the cave.

Said to walk, its practical hands have more opportunities than feet, the whole gap is almost thirty degrees down, there are no steps, almost all rely on climbing down, the inside is wide and narrow, sometimes high and sometimes low, in some places people have to sit to pass.

The only thing that makes people comfortable is that it is a lot warmer inside, crawling and crawling, Wu Xie and the others all began to sweat, so they had to unbutton their clothes. And Mengli took off her coat and tied it around her waist.

At this time, the fat man asked: "Old man, you say, is it not an accident that the stone is blocking this crack?" ”

Chen Pi Ah Si groaned: "Open the mountain to build the mausoleum, take local materials, there are so many chaotic stones outside, it should be the stone quarry used to quarry when the mausoleum was built, maybe this crack was found when they were quarrying, I don't know why, and finally it has to be pressed with a sealed stone." ”

After less than a hundred meters, the smell of sulfur became stronger and stronger, and the rocks became darker and darker, and they all began to show the brilliance of glass, which was the traces of mica melting at high temperatures.

Wu Xie wondered if the volcano would be dead.

Suddenly, the fat man who was taking the lead stopped, and the flashlight shone away, and the crack in front of him shrank sharply, and the stones overlapped, leaving only a very small gap to go down.

Wu Xie squatted down and shone a flashlight inside, which was caused by the collapse of the gap, and the gap inside was very small, and it seemed that he had to crawl to get in.

Chen Pi Ah Si looked at the entrance of the cave, knowing that his physical strength could not climb in, and after discussing it, Wu Xie asked Monk Hua to accompany him and wait for them, and himself, the fat man and the little brother, and Mengli went in to see what else was inside.

Wu Xie and the others took off their coats to reduce their volume as much as possible, Mengli just untied the coat around his waist, this time it was the little brother and Mengli who took the lead, and the four of them went back and forth, squeezing into the crack little by little.

Wu Xie thought that the collapse of this section was only temporary, and if he climbed a few steps forward, there would inevitably be an exit, if it was real, they could also turn around and go back in time, but he didn't expect that this section of the gap was very long, and after climbing for a long time, the front could still pass, and the deep exhalation was unexpected.

The stone tip inside was very sharp, and Wu Xie climbed a few steps, and the clothes on his body had been torn in several places. The rocks were squeezing his lungs, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, and Wu Xie gradually felt that it was difficult to breathe.

The fat man in the back felt the same as Wu Xie, grabbed his feet and said, "No, there may be a problem with the air quality here, let's come in without probing, it's too reckless." ”

Wu Xie wanted to look back, the space was too small, there was really no way, thinking that he had climbed over a long distance just now, and he was reluctant to go back now, and in this situation, it was probably more painful to climb backwards than when he came, so he said: "Let's take a few steps forward, and if we haven't finished yet, we will exit again." ”

The fat man answered, and at this time, suddenly, the little brother in front of him shouted: "En? ”

Mengli asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Xie turned his head to look forward, but the front was empty, the little brother and Mengli who were blocking him just now were gone, only a dark stone gap passage remained, and he didn't know where it led.

From Wu Xie hearing the conversation between the little brother and Mengli to finding that the little brother and Mengli disappeared in front of him, it definitely didn't take more than five seconds, even a mouse couldn't disappear in front of his eyes so quickly in this environment, let alone a person.

Wu Xie suddenly felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously took a step back, wanting to take a closer look, but in a trance, he saw that the little brother appeared in front of him again.

The fat man was right behind Wu Xie, and because Wu Xie took a step back, he was startled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Xie was puzzled by the second monk for a while, and said, "No...... It's fine".

The little brother didn't seem to know that he and Mengli had something wrong just now, paused, greeted Wu Xie and the fat man, and began to speed up and crawl forward.

This hidden appeared in an instant, although Wu Xie felt it very really, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly lost his full grasp, and he was very puzzled in his heart, could it be that the air here made him hallucinate?

The situation is not allowed to Wu Xie to think about it more, the fat man pulled Wu Xie's feet behind him to urge him, Wu Xie wondered while climbing a distance and climbed a distance, when he climbed through the section where the little brother and Mengli disappeared just now, Wu Xie paid special attention to the surroundings, and there were no dents and places that could make him have illusions, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.

After passing through this section, and advancing for about ten minutes, the little brother suddenly loosened his body, and the whole person leaned out, Wu Xie saw that the front had become spacious, and knew that the exit had arrived.

At the end of the gap was a large number of rocks, after climbing out, the little brother hit a few glow sticks and threw them around, the yellow warm light lit up the whole place, Wu Xie turned his head to look and found that this should be a relatively spacious place in the crack of the whole mountain, about the width of four or five Jinbei breads, about a basketball court and a half, and the bottom was full of large and small gravel, all of which were torn off by the address when this crack was formed.

The fat man expanded the aperture of the flashlight, looked around, and said, "It's strange, there are murals here, it seems that we are not the first people to come here." ”

Mengli and the others walked up and found that there were indeed large colored murals on the cracked mountain wall, but the frescoes were very poorly preserved, the color was dull, and the patterns on them could barely be distinguished as similar to the situation of the Heavenly Maiden flying into the sky.

The entrance to this place is pressed by a huge sealing stone, and there are murals inside, what the hell is this place? Wu Xie was puzzled again.

Walking back and forth, among the gravel, they found several small hot spring eyes, all shallow, but steaming, indescribable temptation. However, no traces of other people's activities were found.

Further inside, the gap gradually closed, straight into a small gap two people wide, going to the depths of the mountain rock, from the gap from time to time blowing hot air, Wu Xie walked to the side and shone inside, the bottom was not visible, I don't know where to lead.

Several people exchanged opinions, thinking that there was no need to go in again, this was already a good place to hide from the blizzard, the fat man tested the air without much problem, turned on the wind lamp for long-lasting lighting, and the little brother climbed back to inform the people outside of the narrow gap.

After a while, Monk Hua and Ye Cheng came in one after another, and Shunzi also pulled Pan Zi in, Wu Xie immediately went to check on his situation, and found that because of the temperature here, his face had begun to be ruddy, but his hands and feet were still cold. I don't know if I'll be able to make it through.

The way up was led by him, if he died, although it would not be impossible to say that he could not go down, but there would be a lot more difficulties, plus Wu Xie also liked this person very much, I really didn't want him to die so innocently because of them.

Monk Hua checked his heartbeat and pulse, then asked Wu Xie to get out of the way, soaked the hot spring water with a towel, put it on the stone to cool it slightly, wiped Shunzi's body, and waited until his whole body was blood-red, and then poured some hot water into him, Junzi began to cough violently, and his eyelids jumped.

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and Monk Hua said, "Okay, I can't die." ”

When the atmosphere calmed down, the fat man and Ye Chengdu took out their cigarettes, lit them and smoked them. At this time, Chen Pi Ah Si was also helped in by Pan Zi.

After this series of changes, Mengli and the others were exhausted, and they didn't have the strength to speak, so they each found a comfortable place to lean on.

Mengli leaned aside, as far as his eyes could see, it was Wu Xie and the little brother, Wu Xie was still too naïve and kind, the little brother ...... Eventually, we will be separated...... Thinking of this, Mengli lowered her eyes and missed the deep eyes that the little brother had explored.

Ye Cheng took out the compressed can, threw it into the hot spring water, heated it and distributed it to everyone.

Wu Xie went to see the murals he found just now with Monk Hua while eating, it is very obvious that it is naturally formed here, and the space is narrow, why should he paint murals here, just now the little brother suddenly disappeared in front of him, and the huge sealing stone at the entrance of the cave gave Wu Xie a very unnatural feeling.

Those who have dealt with antiquities are always very interested in murals and reliefs, which carry a lot of information.

However, there is not much information on the murals, and the murals of the Celestial Maiden Flying to the Sky are mostly on the gorgeous court or ritual vessels, which only show a beautiful scene of singing and dancing, and have no practical significance. Most of the fragments of murals here are like this, and here are people who crawled out of the ancient tombs, and when they see more, they lose interest when they see it.

Wu Xie was trying to go back and rub his toes, but he sweated a lot along the way, and his toes were numb from the cold, but at this time, he heard the fat man "tsk", stretched out his thumb, and began to peel off the mural with his fingers.

Wu Xie asked: "What's the matter, although this thing is of little value, but it is also a relic of the predecessors, you can't destroy it." ”

The fat man said, "What nonsense are you talking about, my nails are worthless?" I don't usually peel off things, you can come and see for yourself, this mural has two layers! ”

"Two floors?" Wu Xie frowned, what did he mean in his heart?

Everyone gathered around again, walked over to see what the fat man was talking about, the fat man let them look at his fingers, only to see that there was red cinnabar scraped off on it, and then look at the place in front of the fat man, sure enough, there is a piece of composition in the corner of the mural that is obviously different from the one on the side, and the things painted are also different, but this place is extremely inconspicuous, if it is not for the sharp eyes of the fat man, it will never be seen.

This is apparently the result of someone repainting a mural to cover up the original mural.

The upper layer gradually peels off because of the exposure to the air, revealing the mural behind, which is a common thing in oil paintings.

The fat man continued to scrape with his fingers, and where he scraped off, some bright colors began to appear.

Wu Xie also scraped the mural with his fingers, and found that the surface layer did not seem to have completed all the processes, so the fat man scraped casually, and the color could be simply wiped off, otherwise if the complete steps were followed, there would be a special layer of clear material on the outside of the mural after the Tang Dynasty, and this layer of things would protect the mural like varnish, so that the color would not fade and peel off so easily.

Chen Pi Ah Si's brows were furrowed very tightly, and soon, a large mural the size of a basin was peeled off, and after this mural, there was a half-carriage with colorful paint paintings, the carriage was obviously floating on the clouds, and several women in Mongolian costumes served around the carriage, and the owner of the carriage was a fat man, this man's costume, Wu Xie had never seen it.

This is the mural of the narrative, and Wu Xie suddenly became nervous.

Obviously, someone painted a narrative mural first, but for some reason, it was replaced with another one in a hurry, and the time may have been very tight, so the outer mural was not even completed.

Chen Pi Ah Si looked at the entire mural, looked at the surrounding environment, and said to Mengli: "This ...... It has something to do with the Heavenly Palace, clear the entire wall, and see what is said in the mural. ”

Mengli smiled, her eyebrows crooked: "Fourth Grandfather, if you let me shave with my fingernails, then forget it!" Then he reached out from the pocket of the coat he was holding, took out a few cards, and handed them to Wu Xie, who was eager to try, "Use this!" ”

"Oh," Wu Xie took it stunned, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be a few tarot cards, but he didn't know the pictures and words on them. Wu Xie distributed the cards to the little brother and began to work finely to peel off the murals on the stone wall.

When the little brother took the tarot card, he was stunned at first, and then looked at Mengli who was talking to Chen Pi Asi with deep eyes, and rubbed his fingers against the tarot card in his hand, what did she know......

The frescoes peeled off in large swaths, and after a while, a colorful and majestic picture scroll gradually unfolded in front of them.
