Volume 1 The Coming Storm Chapter 49 Cave Exploration
Seeing that his body was about to get out of control, Mu Feng and the others below screamed in fright. Chu Tianyi reacted very quickly, pulled out the short knife with his hand, and stabbed it hard at the rock wall. Luckily, he was lucky, and the dagger just plunged into the crevice of the rock.
Chu Tianyi clenched the handle of the knife to restrain the downward trend of his body, and immediately looked up at the position just now. only to find that it was just a white snake that came out of the crack in the rock, not a piano worm. Chu Tianyi breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Hundred Flowers Snake also seemed to be taken aback by Chu Tianyi, and quickly left along the cliff into the distance with a "sigh".
Chu Tianyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, estimating that he would have a shadow on an animal like a snake for a long time. But suddenly, he felt that the position where the white snake crawled out just now was a little strange, he slowly stretched out his hand to touch it, and unexpectedly found that the material there was a little different from other places.
Chu Tianyi thought for a while, stretched out his short knife and picked it hard, only to see that the location was not a whole rock, but a mixture of dirt and gravel, plus it was overgrown with weeds, not such a close observation, it was completely invisible.
Obviously, such a mixed coating is meant to hide something behind it. Thinking of this, Chu Tianyi raised the short knife in his hand and stabbed it hard. The short knife was very sharp and inserted more than half of it, which further confirmed Chu Tianyi's idea just now, and it was really empty behind it.
However, although the mixture of earth and gravel is not as good as modern concrete, it is still much tougher than Chu Tianyi imagined. The short knife in his hand was carefully selected by the bearded man, and the steel edge made of pure steel was excellent. Despite this, he tried his best to pry for a while, but only a small hole the size of a palm was opened. The entrance of the cave was pitch black, and Chu Tianyi didn't have a flashlight with him, so he couldn't see clearly.
Mu Feng and the others, who were waiting at the bottom of the valley, looked at Chu Tianyi above and suddenly became more energetic than the cliff, and felt inexplicable. Xiao Meng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yi, what are you doing?" You okay? ”
Chu Tianyi waved his hand on it, "I found a hole!" ”
When Mu Feng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Can you go in?" ”
"No," Chu Tianyi turned his head with difficulty, "The entrance to the cave is blocked!" ”
Mu Feng continued to shout, "Then you don't care about it for now, your posture is very dangerous, climb to the top first, put down the rope and then talk." ”
It is indeed safer to do this, so Chu Tianyi nodded and continued to go up. It didn't take long for him to climb out of the canyon. Chu Tianyi found a big tree to tie the rope firmly, and pulled up another bundle of ropes, and put down the two ropes at the same time, which can basically carry four people.
With the help of the climbing rope, the four of them reached the blocked hole in the cliff face together. The bearded man and the little man took out the multi-functional sapper shovel from their backpacks, replaced them with hammers, and smashed them hard.
This method is indeed much faster than Chu Tianyi just now. Most of the hole that had been sealed was quickly chiseled out. A pitch-black cave emerges.
Mu Feng turned on his flashlight and shone it in, and they found that the situation inside the cave was far less simple than outside. The space inside the cave is much larger than the entrance, and one can stand in it, and the walls are carved with the shape of stone pillars and some simple patterns.
The four of them cautiously drilled into the entrance of the cave, looked around, and Chu Tianyi asked softly, "Is this the so-called Heavenly Temple?" ”
Mu Feng walked to the cave wall and looked at the pattern on it carefully, "It's hard to say yet, but it's very likely." As he spoke, he turned his flashlight and shone it inside, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”
As you move forward, the surrounding space also becomes larger. In terms of shape, this cave should have been formed naturally, but not many ancestors at that time carried out further excavation and repair on the original basis.
The place is not very large, and a few people quickly walked to the innermost. This position is a space six or seven meters square, and the height is about four or five meters.
In the middle is the same as on the floor, but there is only one table. The strangest thing is that the statue on it is neither a human nor a mythical animal, but a strange thing, which looks like a large coral with many forks.
Seeing all this, Mu Feng couldn't help muttering: "It should be here!" ”
"What is this?" The bearded man looked at the statue on the offering table and asked, "It's the first time I've seen this in a temple when I've grown so big." ”
"Isn't this another monster?" Xiao Meng guessed as he circled around the strange stone statue.
Chu Tianyi couldn't see what this was at all, but who could guess the thoughts of the ancients, maybe this was what kind of artifact they imagined at that time. He turned his head to look at Mu Feng, wanting to ask him what he thought, but saw that he didn't know when, walked to the surrounding cave walls, raised his flashlight and looked at something carefully.
Chu Tianyi walked over curiously, and also raised his flashlight to look at the cave wall, only to find that there were large murals painted on it, but the color on it had been oxidized for a long time, and it was almost impossible to see.
Chu Tianyi carefully identified it and saw that the painting on the edge depicted the scene of a large group of people marching. The picture is very large, although it is not exquisite, but it is very ingenious, making people look like a sense of the sky at dusk and the birds singing in the cold forest.
He continued to look ahead, and the murals in front of him began to appear with continuous mountain ranges, presumably Changbai Mountain, which was still majestic and majestic in the simple lines.
On the next painting, the style of painting changes abruptly, and the content shown on the picture becomes a scene of labor. A line of people carrying rocks or wood on their backs walked between the two cliffs, and the topography suggests that they were in the middle of this canyon. And a man in a cloak standing on the top of a mountain, looking down, was clearly the leader of the group.
Chu Tianyi couldn't help frowning slightly, and thought to himself: Back then, the people here used to be large-scale civil engineering.
At this time, Mu Feng walked over, and Chu Tianyi couldn't help but ask: "Brother Feng, these people above have migrated here, are they the people from the ancient Xu Kingdom you mentioned before?" ”
Mu Feng nodded, "It should be." ”
Chu Tianyi pointed to the painting in front of him, "It seems that what these people are building here is not just as simple as the two temples of heaven and earth, it seems that there are other big projects?" ”
Mu Feng smiled mysteriously at Chu Tianyi, "So, this is probably what we are going to find." ”
"But what could it be?" When Chu Tianyi said this, he not only wanted to ask Mu Feng, but also asked himself, but no one could give an answer at this time.
The two men continued to walk forward, and a painting appeared in front of them, and this painting was different from every previous painting. There are no characters on it, only the whole picture is mainly black, Chu Tianyi didn't understand it at first glance, could it be that the ancients drew a blackboard here?
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mu Feng, but found that Mu Feng's expression was also puzzled at first, but then he squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and suddenly his face changed.
Chu Tianyi was also shocked when he looked at it from the side, "Brother Feng, what's wrong, what did you find?" ”
"Look at this painting," Mu Feng said, pointing to the stone wall in front of him.
Chu Tianyi looked along Mu Feng's arm, but still didn't see any doorway, "Isn't this just pitch black?" ”
"No," Mu Feng waved his hand, "It's not just pitch black, you come to me to see!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Tianyi over, and then roughly gestured with his hand with the flashlight, "If you look at these lines from my point of view, you can go a little farther, it's been too long, these lines drawn on black are too inconspicuous, you can squint and look at them." ”
According to the method Mu Feng said, Chu Tianyi took two steps back, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and after a few seconds, his face suddenly changed, and he only felt a chill behind him, because the pattern composed of the lines outlined on the black turned out to be a giant beast - a giant beast with teeth and claws.
With a huge head, sharp teeth and claws, and a long tail, the lines of this giant beast occupied almost all the black areas, no wonder Chu Tianyi didn't see it at all at first.
Chu Tianyi felt that his cold sweat was flowing out, and he asked Mu Feng a little nervously, "Brother Feng, what does this painting mean?" ”
Mu Feng's expression was also a little grim, "I'm not sure, the black area may refer to the darkness, as for the giant beast, that's not something we can understand now." ”
