Volume 2 The Ancient Kingdom of the White Wolf Chapter 21 The Dark Abyss
At the bottom of the stone path, two parallel metal tracks stretched into the mountain, the tracks were fixed on the sand, and there were many ballasts under the sleepers.
In this cave, there will be a track, and it is a metal track, which is incomprehensible in any way.
I haven't really seen the railway, but I've seen it in the newspapers, and Ermao and my uncle have seen it, so I can see that their surprise is more obvious.
The railway represents modern, Western civilization, and here, Xikang, in the underground of the snowy plateau, which was once considered the most remote and backward in China, suddenly appeared a track, which really made everyone present feel incredible.
So what is this track for? There used to be a train here, and we wouldn't believe it.
We followed the track all the way to the valley of the mountain, when my uncle suddenly said, "We have entered the valley of the glacier." ”
I asked, "What glacial valley?" ”
Uncle said: "This Dangling Snow Mountain belongs to the middle section of the Hengduan Mountain Range. It is a link connecting the Kang-Tibet Plateau and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where there are many ancient glaciers, and this glacier valley is simply a valley formed by the continuous erosion of the ice bed rocks in the process of glaciers flowing. ”
My uncle was born as a geologist, and he never forgot to analyze the geology and landforms wherever he went.
I asked, "So the glaciers are flowing in this place, aren't you afraid of problems when you build such a track?" ”
Uncle smiled: "These glaciers should be the products of the Quaternary glacial period, more than a million years ago.
The elevation of the Hengduan Mountains during the movement of the earth, coupled with the elevation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the height of the snow line, and the large-scale cooling of the global climate to form this kind of glacier, which is still naturally stable. ”
At this time, I saw that the road in front of me was getting wider and wider, and almost the track was almost straight forward, and the mountains on both sides were becoming more and more open.
I didn't understand these profound things, and I wanted to ask and learn something, but at this moment, the track in front of me stopped at a cliff!
Below the cliff was a pitch-black void, and the beam of light of the searchlight had become a thin line, and it was impossible to see one ten-thousandth of this void.
In the face of nature's miraculous workmanship, this little invention of human beings seems so small.
In this glacial valley more than 2,000 meters underground, there is an even deeper abyss...
Looking at the boundless darkness, it was as I felt when I stood in the wilderness and looked up at the starry sky.
Standing on the edge of this great dark abyss, humanity is as small as an ant.
And the orbit that terminates before the abyss cannot but be reminiscent of what runs on this orbit, what is this running thing?
At this time, I was drenched in a cold sweat, and an idea appeared in my mind. Could it be that this thing is the link between this huge dark abyss and this white wolf ancient city or human race?
It's terrible and incredible, and I can't help but gasp at the thought of something that slides out of this orbit and flies into this void-like underground.
The uncle was also at a loss, which was obviously not what he expected, he thought that after opening the bronze door, there would be a way to unravel the evil poison, but what he saw was such an incredible scene.
We are not birds, we have no means of flight, we cannot enter this dark abyss,
The secret behind this bronze door, with this orbit, seems to end at the edge of this world.
I took a searchlight and shone on both sides of this narrow glacial valley, which was so smooth that there really was no road.
We looked at each other, not knowing what to do, let's go back, don't give up, don't go back, can't go down.
I stood on the edge of the cliff, tried to gather my thoughts, and said, "Could we be missing something in that hall?" ”
Because we were first attracted to this track, we followed the track and came over, and we didn't search for other places.
Tuesday Mao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we can't get down while standing here, and we don't get anything, let's go back and have a look." ”
I know that this guy Mao is still thinking about what treasure is in it, and it hasn't been broken.
Gu Zhonghan also nodded and said, "It's possible, let's see what clues there are!" ”
We searched all the way back, but we didn't see anything of note on either side of the road. All the way back to the hall.
The hall in this cave is very strangely built, the Chinese are not used to building such circular buildings, and in my impression at that time, it seemed that only the yurt was round.
I didn't know about Fujian tulou or something like that at that time, but it was only later that I heard the story about the discovery of Fujian tulou by a US satellite and mistaking it for a missile silo.
The upper part of the hall is a dome-like structure made up of two large metal hemispheres.
There are also many small metal pillars in the gaps around it, and the stone walls below are reinforced with large strips of stone, and the shape and size are very regular, and the position of the wolf's head in the middle is the top of this dome.
And on the ground, smooth and level, the hall that has been sleeping on the ground for thousands of years, there is no sign of the collapse of the stone wall on the ground.
I was still a little jealous of this wolf's head, and I didn't dare to look at the wolf's eyes again, so I came to the base of the wolf's head, walked around the wolf's head, and saw that this statue was not like the base of the fire phoenix in the long mountain, there was a secret door or something.
We scattered and searched the hall when suddenly, there was a sound of metal striking outside the door, and we all looked towards the door. I saw that the bronze door had been opened.
The first thing I thought about was whether Lin Xia had arrived, and I was the first to run towards the door.
When I arrived at the door, it was empty, the bronze door was embedded in the stone wall, and it was pitch black outside.
I shouted, "Lin Xia!" ”
No one answered. I felt a little strange, and shouted loudly, Lin Xia is not a person who likes to joke and make pranks, if it was really her coming, she should be able to answer.
At this time, other people also came to the door, I had already walked out of the door, and I really didn't see Lin Xia outside. Then this door still can't be opened by itself?
Li Shilin said to his uncle: "Maybe after so many years, after opening it once, the mechanism will fail." This place can't stay for long, and it seems that there is no value here, so it has to be considered in the long run. ”
Uncle nodded helplessly: "I really didn't expect that opening the bronze door of this astrological chart would be such an ending." ”
At this moment, I accidentally saw a white shadow flashing overhead, and I hurriedly looked up, but I saw nothing.
I asked a few people who happened to be around, "Did you have anything on it?" ”
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads, I took a flashlight and looked towards the top of the cave, and the top of the cave was empty.
I think I may have been too tired and nervous these past few days, and I guess I'm dazzled.
The uncle looked at the hall behind him with some unwillingness, and said, "Let's go, it seems that there is really only a long-term plan." ”
We were about to get out of the cave when suddenly there was a slight noise behind us, which I heard this time, and a few people heard it too.
I ran back to the hall curiously, the hall was empty, and I took a flashlight and glanced around, for fear that there would be some mandrills, monsters like ancient apes following us.
As soon as I went out, I turned off my flashlight, took out my pistol, and told everyone to walk away from the distance, and then quietly came back, and I took Tuesday Mao and Marber into the cave against the stone wall.
We fumbled our way to the exit of the cave, and there should be a hall in front of us. The mandrills had excellent eyesight in the dark, and I didn't dare turn on the flashlight, so I crouched on the ground and waited in the hall to see if there was any noise.
After waiting for a long time, we could hear that my uncle's voice was already a little quiet, and gradually we couldn't hear it.
At this moment, I only heard a gentle rustling sound coming from the cave wall.
I pinched the handle of my gun, thinking about what kind of demons and monsters would appear in front of us this time.
Suddenly, I heard a soft sound in front of me, and a red light lit up closely!
The red light was extremely focused, shining on the dome like a line, and a half-crouching shadow suddenly appeared on the wolf's head.
Shocked, I turned on the flashlight, shone it on the half-crouching shadow, and shouted, "Don't move!" If I move again, I'll shoot! ”
The black shadow shook his body, suddenly jumped up, and pounced directly at us, before I could react, this strange figure also came to me, flew up and kicked the flashlight out, a palm hit my shoulder, I fell to the ground in pain.
Tuesday Mao behind me screamed, pounced on him, grabbed the butt of his gun and swept it towards the black shadow's waist.
The black shadow gave way slightly, and flexibly dodged the sharp blow, and slapped Tuesday Mao's neck, and Tuesday Mao didn't have time to snort before he fell to the ground.
Marber was behind us, and this guy was born in the army, but he was also calm, and he drew his gun and fired at the black shadow.
Hearing only a gunshot, the black shadow was as fast as lightning to avoid this shot, stepped forward and grabbed Ma Bai's wrist, and gently broke the pistol and flew away, and the black shadow swept Ma Bai calf with his leg.
Ma Bo screamed and fell to the ground, really saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, and in less than a minute, the three of us lost our combat effectiveness.
At this moment, suddenly there was a screeching squeak from the metal ball above our heads, followed by a loud rumbling sound. The two metal hemispheres actually split in two, revealing a large hole straight up!
Seeing this, the black shadow jumped up, came to the wolf's head again, and continued to maintain a half-squatting posture, and suddenly the wolf's head turned red.
