Du Wang said: "The dragon is an animal that lives in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, and the legend is that it can become a dragon only after long live." And there are 24 ribs in the shell, and there is a night pearl in each rib. Only when it is 10,000 years old, "24 ribs are long, and the beads are full", and then the dragon can turn into a dragon after the shell fades. ”

On Tuesday, Mao Xi said: "Isn't that the night pearl in this rib??" ”

Du Wang said: "That's all legends, and long live to fade into a dragon, it's still very early, if you're interested, open it and take a look." ”

Tuesday Mao was willing to let go of this opportunity, and took out the machete to cut the ribs of the dragon, but the shell was extremely hard, and Tuesday Mao spent a lot of effort to finally open the ribs of a dragon, but he said disappointedly: "It seems that they are all rumors, and I haven't seen anything!" ”

Tuesday Mao sighed: "Alas, it seems that legends are legends after all, not so credible!" ”

On Tuesday, Mao ordered someone to turn over the corpses of several dragons and cut them open, when Chen Yutian suddenly said, "Look here! ”

We thought there was really a midnight pearl, and we all gathered around to watch it.

saw Chen Yutian put his hand into the dragon's stomach and took out something slimy.

I don't know how long this thing has been in the dragon's belly, and the surface is full of a layer of slimy liquid, but a shiny object emerges from this slimy liquid!

Chen Yutian was a little disgusted and used a knife to dig out the slimy liquid, took it to the river water to clean it up, and saw a jade wall the size of a plate exposed, this jade bi was carved with a concave phoenix bird pattern, and the craftsmanship was extremely exquisite.

The strangest thing is that under the light of the flashlight, a flowing red liquid like blood can be seen inside, and when the jade is turned upside down, the liquid inside is like ink in water, slowly diffuse, and then gradually gather into a ball again.

Tuesday Mao Rao said: "I'm afraid this thing isn't the Pearl of the Night, right?" ”

I said, "This is obviously dug out of the stomach, it may be that this monster swallowed this jade after eating someone, and then stuck in its own intestines." ”

Du Wang said: "It's not too late to study things after they go out, you take them first, and we'll go up and talk about it." ”

Du Wang took the rope from Li Long's hand, kicked the ground, had already jumped up, stepped on the stone wall with one foot, and when he jumped up again, he had already gone up a few feet on the stone wall, and his body was like a gecko climbing on the stone wall, and he jumped on the plank road steadily.

Du Wang threw the rope down from the plank road and said, "Hurry up and climb up!" ”

On Tuesday, Mao whispered to me, "This guy's kung fu is too good." Your uncle is more capable than anyone in the first place! ”

I asked myself this question at the bottom of Changliu Mountain, and Bo Dongha also thought it was very strange at that time, and now many things cannot be inferred according to common sense, and there is no record in the exploration notes. Now I feel a little abrupt when I ask Du Wang, maybe I will only know when I see my uncle and ask him.

We pulled the rope, climbed up, and after returning to the sacrificial hall, Du Wang said: "You can just follow the arrow I marked when you go inside, and it is estimated that you will have to walk inside for more than half a day, so we will leave it at that." ”

I thanked him, "There's Uncle Laudhu!" ”

After Du Wang returned the salute, he didn't say much, and went straight out of the cave.

We walked out of the hall and walked through the stone cave, only to see that there was a downward arrow on the cave wall, and we went down from the stone staircase, only to see that there was a stone road paved with bluestone below, which was extremely spacious.

The stone wall next to the stone road is made of large stone slabs, which may have been a major passage in the past, and because there were many pedestrians in the past, the cave wall was covered with black oil smoke.

We didn't need to go blindly anymore by following the mark, and we turned left and right all the way to the depths of the cave.

The buildings here are not as dense as at the entrance of the cave, and some places have collapsed, but the main section of the road was built very firmly back then, and there were not many wooden structures, so it is still relatively intact after more than 2,000 years.

But after walking for another hour or so, the guy in front shouted: "Brother Chen, there is a fork in the road ahead, and the markers are gone." Which way are we going? ”

I wondered, "How so?" Didn't Uncle Du just say that it was marked all the way, and it had only been an hour, so why was there no marking? Did we just go wrong? ”

The guy said: "That's right, it's just such a lonely road just now, it's impossible to go wrong!" ”

I came to the front of the line and saw that there were indeed two almost wide roads, but after looking for a long time, I really didn't see the marked arrows.

I said, "This Uncle Du is too careless, why isn't there a symbol marked on the fork in the road?" ”

Tuesday Mao said: "Let's go separately, which side finds the mark first and shouts." ”

I nodded, "So be it." So we each took a few men along different paths.

I walked at the forefront this time, holding a flashlight all the way, but I couldn't see the marked arrow, wondering if Tuesday Mao's side was the right way?

After walking for a long time, I still didn't see the mark, so I said: "Let's go back, look at the arrow marked by Uncle Du just now, there is basically one for a few hundred meters, we haven't walked for so long, it is estimated that this road is not right." ”

Chen Yutian, who followed me, said: "Brother Ermao, they didn't come to greet us over there?" ”

I also think it's strange, it stands to reason that Mao has been gone for so long on Tuesday, why should he tell us about it.

I pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to their side, this path is definitely not right." ”

When we walked along the other road at the fork in the road for a long time, there was still no trace of Tuesday Mao and others, I wondered, this guy didn't find the road sign and didn't know to come back and tell us?

And the point is, there are still no road signs. There are no road signs on either side, so are we not going the right way? But wasn't that just the way down!

I shouted at the top of my voice: "Ermao! ”

But there was no answer in the cave. This cave is empty, and the sound can definitely be transmitted far away, but Mao and the others don't know where they went.

I'm a little nervous, could it be that this kid met something unexpectedly?

I pulled out my gun and said to a couple of guys, "Take out all the weapons, there's something wrong in this hole!" ”

We slowed down and walked for a while, and suddenly I noticed a backpack on the ground in front of me, and at first glance, it turned out to be our people's backpack, and I opened the backpack to see that there was some food and bullets inside.

Chen Yutian looked at it and said, "At this time, Li Long's backpack. I recognize! ”

Li Long actually dropped his backpack?

We picked up the backpack and put it on our backs, and looked around carefully, there were no signs of a fight around, and there were no bullet casings or anything like that.

Then why did Li Long throw away his backpack on the side of the road, they also have chalk marks on them, it is impossible to throw a backpack here to attract our attention.

At this moment, a gunshot faintly rang out in front!

I was startled and said, "Quick! There is a case ahead! ”

We rushed to the front with our guns, and then another gunshot rang out, and sure enough, Mao and the others met something on Tuesday!

We ran to the place where the sound was, but there was no sound again.

I shouted "Tuesday Mao!" "Still no one answered me.

I secretly said bad in my heart!

At this time, a guy shouted: "Brother, there is a person lying in front of you!" ”

I was startled, the flashlight shone brightly, and there was really a person lying on the ground, and I ran to the man lying on the ground in three steps and two steps.

Squatted down and turned the man over, and it turned out to be the guy who was with Li Long, still clutching a pistol in his hand.

I sniffed the guy out, and it was fine, just fainted.

On Tuesday, Mao, Li Long, and the three of them walked into the cave together, and now one of them is unconscious on the ground, while the other two are nowhere to be seen.

I patted this guy on the face and asked anxiously, "What about Mao and Li Long on Tuesday?" ”

The man was still unconscious and couldn't answer my questions.

I said to Ma Bai, who had been a soldier in the Hunan army: "Let's go quickly, go and see the situation, Chen Yutian and the rest of the people take care of this brother and slowly follow up." ”

Chen Yutian was a little nervous and said, "Brother, that... What if you want to get separated again? ”

I scolded: "Look at your dog's day, you're afraid of a JB!" ”

As he spoke, he gave him a flare gun and said, "Wait a minute, if there's any situation, you can use this flare gun to send a message to us!" ”

Thinking about it, he added: "The gun must be held well, and it should be hit, don't hesitate!"

When Ma Bo and I walked out of the cave, we saw that the cave in front of us was full of stone pillars, and a tall stone door appeared on our right.

The stone door was open, and there was no light or sound inside.

I asked Marber, "Do you still have a grenade on you?" ”

Ma Bo took one out of his waist and said, "There is another one, from the Sichuan army." It's easy to get a dumb fire. ”

I didn't have a grenade with me, and it would definitely be too late to go back and get it now, so the flare gun was handed over to Chen Yutian again.

I said, "I'll take a look at the door first, you stay away from me, if there's any situation, as soon as I shout, you throw a grenade inside." ”

I took a deep breath and walked lightly towards the door, at this time I didn't know what was on the ground, it was a little slippery to step on, I looked down and saw that it was a bullet shell, it seemed that Mao and Li Long had entered the stone gate on Tuesday.

I turned off the flashlight and listened close to the stone door, but there was no sound inside.

I turned on the flashlight and looked inside the stone door.
