Volume 2 The Stone People of the Western Regions The Stone People of the Western Regions Chapter 91: Where the Underworld is located
I've been in the dark for a long time, and the sudden appearance of light makes my eyes ache! The four of us still follow the fat man to open the way, and I break the marching position!
The moment the light appeared, I subconsciously covered my eyes with my arms! Fatty, Yiyi and Xiaoqian also do the same movements as me, this instinct is the common nature of people.
After a while, I felt my eyes slowly adjust to the light, and then I tried to take my arm away!
Then I saw a scene that stunned me! At first, I thought that there was a light similar to the everlasting lantern in Zhao Tuo's underground palace, but when I removed my arm, I saw that directly in front of us, that is, outside the exit of the cave, there was an upward steep slope, and the steep slope was actually like daylight! This sudden bright light is the light of nature, the light refracted by the sun!
The fat man who walked in front of us looked back at me and said, "That, little.. Xiao Su, how did this cave get to the ground? That's how we came out? ”
I also felt a little strange that after the Shinto, according to what we had predicted, this cave could be called a burial tunnel. And through the cave, what we should see is a tomb in this "Inner Country". A tomb of this magnitude may be the place where the king of the "Inner Land" was located after his death! Could it be that the tomb they chose in the end was the vast Gobi?
I was wondering, Yiyi in front of me was more meticulous in his observation, and said to us: "Senior brother, look at your watch, the time is now more than eight o'clock in the morning!" This is Xinjiang! Also, don't you feel that this sunshine is a little different from what we remember? The light seems to be refracted from the bottom up! ”
Yiyi's words made me feel as if I had been struck by lightning, and immediately raised my arm to look at my watch, and I was surprised when I just visited, and I didn't notice the time problem. When I saw the hands of my watch, I started to get confused! It's 8:25! This is Xinjiang, a region at a different latitude with a time difference of at least two hours from the rest of China! It stands to reason that at this time, the entire frontier should still be in the dark night, even if it is dawn, there can be no such strong sunlight!
There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, directly in front of us, beyond the exit of the cave, is an area that does not belong to Xinjiang!
The fat man stepped back to my side and said, "My junior sister is right, the light in front of me is refracted from the bottom of the ramp!" Now it's complicated! We're going to have a fucking paranormal event! This tomb that we mistakenly thought was probably a time and space tunnel! We crossed! ”
The fat man's thoughts coincide with mine, which is also the most reasonable explanation for the current situation!
After the fat man finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed, and his tone became gloomy, and then he said: "It is also possible that this cave is still the tomb road we thought of, and the exit of the cave is also a big tomb!" Don't forget, this underground world belongs to the "Inner Land" that believes in the Netherworld! What is the final destination of this "geocentric country"? ”
"Netherworld!"
Yiyi replied
Road!
The fat man's words made my already calm heart tense again, and I asked him, "You mean, beyond this cave, is the legendary Netherworld?" ”
The fat man nodded and said: "It is very likely to be the Netherworld, I have never understood why this "Inner Earth" is located in the underground of the deep Gobi, and now the sudden appearance of willows and flowers can explain the purpose of their location!" We have come this way, and we have not even seen the corpses of half of the people of the "Inner Earth". If the place in front of them is what they believe is their final destination, the Netherworld, then all the people of the Inner Kingdom may have migrated outside the cave as a whole! ”
The fat man's inference reasonably explains all the puzzling places we have encountered along the way! First of all, even if the people of this "geocentric country" have experienced a great migration, they should have left some clues. We can infer from what we can see that everything in the city does not look like it was like it was during the Great Migration!
In the past, when we mentioned Netherworld, we were associated with words like darkness and horror! You know, the name of this Netherworld is also given by our ancestors, no one has really been to the Netherworld, it is a place of paradise, or a world full of horrors, we don't know!
Our analysis makes the world beyond the cave even more mysterious! Now the four of us have only two weapons left, one for the fat man and one for Xiaoqian, and my pistol was knocked out by the worm when I broke through the "Hugh Gate"!
Nowadays, it doesn't matter what Longtan Tiger's Den or Netherworld Cave is outside the cave! We're all going to break through!
Fat people have always had sharper eyes and stronger observation skills! As the four of us approached the steep slope at the exit of the cave, the fat man made the three of us wait at the bottom, and he climbed up alone to investigate!
At such critical moments, he can always show the temperament of a leader! I was in front of Yiyi, and Xiao Qian raised a pistol against the steep slope! If, as the fat man says, the world beyond the cave is where the real "Inner Land" is located, they live above! Once the fat man is discovered, if there is a conflict, we must be ready to retreat!
As the fat man climbed the steep slope, I was already imagining what it would be like to see after the steep slope! According to my brain, I think that under the steep slope will be a huge Grand Canyon, and the people of this "Inner Country" live in the canyon! At the bottom of the Grand Canyon, there will be luminous objects that glow like the sun!
I was expecting it, when I suddenly heard the fat man calling us up, the steep slope was very narrow, and the fat man's body size alone took up half of the space. I asked him what he saw.
The fat man pouted his teeth and said, "A place that can't be said well, hiss...... It's a cliff! ”
"Cliffs?" I asked again. The fat man nodded, reached out and pulled Yiyi.
Then he said to me, "Come up and see for yourself, I can't describe it!" ”
After the fat man finished speaking, he began to reach out and pull Xiaoqian, and after I pushed Xiaoqian up, I climbed up myself!
As soon as I came up, I would
I was a little speechless at first! The scene on the steep slope was completely different from what I had wanted! The fat man was right, it was really a cliff!
Twenty meters in front of me, there was a cliff with no end in sight! There is no end in sight, the whole cliff can be distinguished except for the cliff edge close to us, and when we look ahead, all of them are shrouded in white mist!
Moreover, the white fog we see is not condensed in mid-air, but covered within the cliff! From our vantage point, we couldn't see the cliff at all! This fog is like a white ocean! Tumbling inside the cliffs!
The most incredible thing is that from the bottom of the cliff, the sun-like light is reflected, illuminating this boundless space like the day in our impression!
This kind of scene made me almost lose my ability to speak, not only me, but also Fat Man and Yiyi, and even Xiaoqian. All four of us froze in place for a few minutes before the fat man broke the silence.
"He... Fuck it! What kind of scene did Lao Tzu see! Could it be that this cliff is above the sun? The sun is refracted from below! ”
Originally, I hadn't recovered from the shock, but the fat man's words made me recover all of a sudden, and I laughed and scolded: "I said, Lao Tie, let's have time to read more, okay!" If the sun is below us, it's night! If you don't understand, don't talk! Lose face! ”
"Xiao Su, do you understand my brother's humor, I still don't know if I'm talking about the night! I mean, there's probably a "sun" at the bottom of this cliff! ”
"You... Look at that... Over there... Corner! Yes... There's a water... Kettle! ”
When I was talking to the fat man, Xiao Qian, who had been standing on our far right, pointed to the distance and said!
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was a flat kettle standing by the wall! The appearance is very beautiful, and there is an embroidered coat!
The fat man and Yiyi were both observing the front when they turned their heads to see the kettle! I suddenly felt something strange about them! Especially Yiyi, her expression is starting to become difficult to see!
I asked them what was wrong! As if she hadn't heard my question, she didn't care about the danger around her, and ran straight to where the kettle was! She was so eager that by the time I could react and try to stop her, she had already skipped past me!
I turned my head and asked the fat man what was the matter, and the fat man sighed and said, "This kettle is my master's thing!" It was a birthday present from Yiyi and I when we were young! ”
After speaking, he quickly walked to the kettle! Leave me and Xiaoqian still in place.
Xiaoqian looked at me and asked me if I wanted to go over! I nodded, ready to pull Xiaoqian over to take a look.
The appearance of the kettle shows that Master Liu may have been more than lucky! But we didn't see his body around, and it is very likely that Master Liu and those people from the "Europa" company expedition jumped into the glowing cliff!
This kind of ending
The last thing we want to see! Xiaoqian and I walked towards the place where the fat man and the others picked up the kettle, but when the two of us had just walked a few steps, I suddenly saw four or five figures a few hundred meters away in front of us!
The fat man and Yiyi were attracted to the kettle and didn't see the figure in the distance! I walked up to them quickly and called out to them softly, "Look ahead, there's someone!" ”
After my reminder, all four of us noticed the figure in front of us!
The fat man had sharp eyes, and after seeing those people, he immediately recognized those people, turned back to us and said, "Be on guard, that's Ah San and his men!" Well? How scorpions are with them! ”
