Snow Ridge Lost Chapter 24 The Secret Door

Xue Ning scooped water outside with a lunch box and splashed it on the stone wall a few times, and after the mud was washed away by the water, I saw that the bare black stone was still exposed.

"What kind of stone is this?" The fat man touched the washed clean stone wall and said.

"Because it should be Himalayan rocks, there are mostly mountains and forests here, and to get such a large and complete stone wall, the only way to get it is from the nearest branch of the Himalayas."

I pretended to be like them and touched the stone wall with my hands.

Xue Ning sighed at this time, "No, this doesn't look like it was transported from somewhere else, but it looks like it's a complete rock underground." Xue Ning dug away the dirt near the roots of the tree a few times, and I saw that there were still rocks wrapped under the roots.

The tree didn't seem to grow entirely in the dirt, but instead grew and met the black rock overhead, and then it grew around and wrapped the rock inside the roots.

Then the fat man said, "Maybe this was originally a bare rock, and after carving in the rock, it was buried in the earth for too long." ”

"It's not impossible." Xue Ning washed away the dirt from the surrounding carvings and went to study the protruding stone balls. The fat man and I also followed Xue Ning.

Xue Ning washed the soil sticking to the protruding stone ball with water a few times, and listened to him when he touched the place where the stone ball connected to the stone wall; "How could it not be one."

The fat man poked his head out, and he also touched the place where the stone ball connected to the stone wall, and pushed the stone ball twice. The stone ball moved slightly. "Hey, really." After the fat man finished speaking, he wanted to move the stone ball, the action was very fast, Xue Ning seemed to want to stop but the fat man had already started to get started, and the stone ball only moved slightly left and right twice a few times, and the fat man pulled it up vertically, but it did not move at all.

I reminded me, "Maybe it's spinning." As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ning was a little displeased, "This is a cultural relic, don't do it, it's a loss for the country if it is damaged." The fat man seemed to want to turn the stone ball, but Xue Ning immediately stopped him.

The fat man had no choice but to spread his hands, indicating that he would not do it again. He dodged away before I noticed that there was indeed a gap of about half a centimeter between the stone ball and the stone wall, and there was some wet mud in the gap, which had been squeezed out a lot by the fat man just now.

Xue Ning used some small tools to pick out the soil in the cracks, and let me and the fat man help Fat Fat to block the rain, and he used a digital camera to take pictures and record. I asked him what it was, and he shook his head and said; "I don't know, but looking at the style, it is indeed the style of the ancient country of Rongyu, similar to the big-headed stone statue I saw before, but there are only these discoveries for the ancient country of Rongyu, and there is no information at all to understand it. So I don't know exactly what these are. ”

Xue Ning filmed for more than ten minutes and recorded every angle on the entire stone wall. At this time, the fat man who had been on the side suddenly startled, walked to the stone ball, pointed to the pattern on the stone ball, and said; "Look here."

I studied the place he pointed to for a long time and didn't understand what he wanted to say, and the fat man saw that Xue Ning and I didn't see it for a long time, so he pointed to the stone wall connected to the stone ball. I was confused, and I was about to say what are you talking about. Suddenly, Xue Ning on the side just oops.

I thought to myself what was wrong, and I saw that the fat man already wanted to turn the stone ball. There was a sound of friction between the stones, and the stone balls were turned a few degrees, but the fat man seemed to be struggling to turn the stone balls, and his face was already red. Xue Ning went up to help, and when I saw that it was not easy to stand and watch the play, I also went up to help them turn the stone ball.

As soon as the strength increased, the stone ball was easily spun more than half a circle. The fat man shouted to stop, and we all stopped. Before I could speak, I stood up and noticed that the stone ball and the stone wall had changed somewhat. The pattern on the stone ball is connected to the pattern on the stone wall.

A few of us looked at each other, and saw that Xue Ning seemed to want to say something, but before the words could be spoken, they were interrupted by a creaking sound that suddenly came out from under our feet.

The voice was very harsh, and I stood still and didn't dare to move, so I asked; "What's going on?" Xue Ning shook his head silently, the fat man put his hand on the stone ball, and after a while, I saw his face change, and as soon as the word "fast" popped out of his mouth, I already felt a vibration under my feet, and then it was empty. The stone wall beneath his feet, as well as most of the buried in the earth, and the dirt on top of it sank into the ground.

The moment I went down, I heard Xue Ning scream, and the three of us fell into the ground together with the stone wall under our feet. In an instant, I heard the sound of something huge under my feet crashing on the water. And with that came the cold, biting water that didn't reach the thighs, and a pungent stench.

The stone slab under our feet must have touched the bottom of the water, and a few of us had already fallen into the water. I don't know if it's stagnant water in the water, but I can feel very sticky in my hand.

It was dark all around, and raindrops were coming down from the square hole overhead. I took a look, and we were five or six meters from the square hole above our heads. There was a noise in the water on one side, and then the fat man's voice came: "Damn, whose toilet did you drop." What a grandma's stink. ”

It didn't take long for the white light in the direction where the fat man's voice came to light up after a few flashes, and the fat man had already turned on the flashlight. I saw that Xue Ning hadn't come to his senses yet, and he was still sitting in the water, so I pulled him up.

The fat man looked at the top of his head and scolded his mother; "It's a hundred secrets, I didn't expect this to be a secret door." He was dumbfounded, "Why is it going down." ”

The flashlight was scanning around again, and I realized that we were in a stone room about the size of half a basketball court. The height is five or six meters high, and the walls are all black rock. At the bottom of the stone chamber is water about thigh-high in color, and the color of the water is a little greenish, so you can't see the bottom of the water. The color of the water makes me a little sick. The stone chamber had no entrance to the rest of the world, it was empty, and there were traces of chisels on the walls. No carvings can be seen on the rough walls.

I shook the green stuff on my cuffs that looked like algae, and I said to the fat man, "You don't know what to command, how do you go up now." ”

"How do I know how there is a secret door in the barren mountains and mountains, but it's okay, we have a rope." As I spoke, I pointed to the three backpacks hanging from the base of the large tree above my head. Said with some sarcasm; "Are you looking for that?"

The fat man sighed when he saw it, and for a moment he seemed to have thought of a way. So he half-crouched down and went up to me, and I said, "We are so tall together that we can't even reach the edges." He insisted that I get on his shoulder, and I had to step on it. It didn't take much effort for the fat man to lift me, he stood up and we were more than three meters tall together, but there was still a big difference, so I shouted to the fat man: "No, I have to put Yao Ming on the shelf." ”

The fat man tried hard to see that he couldn't do it, so he had to give up and let me down, at this time I found that Xue Ning, who had not made a movement, was no longer in his original position, so I went to look for it in the stone room, and found that Xue Ning was already at the root of the wall on the side and didn't know what he was doing.

I beckoned the fat man to come over, and when I got there, I saw Xue Ning looking at something with a flashlight shining a fragment in his hand, and I found that it should be a fragment of ceramics or other jars.

I asked him what he found, and he turned around and handed it to me, and I didn't understand it, so I handed it to the fat man, who took it and put it under the flashlight to study it for a while, and then made a burst of voice: "This is Tang Sancai." ”

Tang Sancai I estimate that there are not many people do not know, that is the prevailing in the Tang Dynasty low-temperature pottery, glaze generally yellow, green, white, brown, blue, black, etc., but generally yellow, green, white three colors, so it is called Tang Sancai. But in this primeval forest at the foot of the Himalayas in remote Tibet, how can there be Tang Sancai?

The fat man and I asked the question almost at the same time, and Xue Ning asked us to squat, half of his ass was already in the water. Even though my pants and clothes were soaked, I really didn't want to squat into the water.

I leaned down and approached Xue Ning, who groped in the water a few times, and then came up with a few pieces of broken Tang Sancai. Xue Ning said; "It's not uncommon for this kind of thing to come out here, it connects Bangladesh and India, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was also an ancient trade road connecting Tianzhu and the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries, but this road is rarely caravan because it has to go over the snow-capped mountains. There are not as many merchants as Annan Nantong Tianzhu Road or Fannigu Road, but once you cross the snow-capped mountains, you can save a lot of time. ”

He paused and continued: "Didn't you say before, our knowledge of the ancient kingdom of Rongyu was discovered from the epitaph of a Tang Dynasty merchant, so it is possible that he will sell his goods here when he passes through here. ”

I thought to myself, it looks like we're not far from our destination, but another thought flashed through my mind, no, not the right direction. We just came out to find someone, and we have completely deviated from the direction where the expedition is going, how could we come across these things here.

I told Xue Ning my question, and he had already thought of it, so he squatted here for a long time to ponder the problem. Xue Ning is already an expert-level figure, but for this ancient city that has only revealed a little clues, we know zero about it. Xue Ning was also confused for a while.

The fat man made some conjectures, but they were all of them and had no practical value. It's just that there is no point in considering these issues now, and our top priority is to get out of trouble. The current situation is not embarrassing, but it is a bit like a prison cell. I don't know why the ancestors of the ancient kingdom set up such an institution here.

The rain suddenly became much lighter, and I don't know if the weather was intentional. Even the fat man's idea that we would be able to swim out when the rain fills this place was shattered.
