Shonan Ghost Cub Shonan Ghost Cub Chapter 12: Escape Dragon
That light is not the light of a flashlight, nor is it the light of the sun coming in. The appearance of this light can only indicate one problem, that is, the space at the exit of the channel, the visibility must be much higher than the channel I am in now.
With the light to guide me, I don't have to fumble my way forward anymore. It's like getting lost in the ocean and suddenly seeing a lighthouse on the sea.
In the direction of the light, I soon walked out of the passage. As soon as I walked out, I was once again shocked by the sight in front of me.
At the junction with the passage is an open clearing, which extends on either side into the depths of darkness, and there is a deep cliff about ten meters in front of the clearing.
From where I was, the cliff was tens of meters wide, and on top of the cliff hung a suspension bridge connected to both sides of the cliff by thick iron chains, and on top of it were laid with wooden planks.
There is a loud sound of water flowing under the cliff, indicating that the water flow under the cliff is relatively turbulent. Looking up, there were countless tiny cracks at the top of the space, through which sunlight spilled into the space.
I immediately took the hand-drawn drawing out of my backpack and tried to find the corresponding location. The sun shining overhead reflected the map in my hand.
The suspension bridge and cliff in front of me were simply drawn in the shape of a bridge in the hand-drawing, and did not depict the magnificence in front of me in detail. I don't think such a spectacle can be expressed in such a simple way. Even painting requires a broad mind to express such a bold place. But to my surprise, there was a dragon talisman written next to the bridge.
Aunt Ming said on the phone that the location of the "Zhenlong Sand" and "Dunlong Fu" marked on the map only needs to be placed within five meters of the corresponding items.
According to legend, this "Dunlong Fu" was Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng in order to restrain some relatively strong dragon veins, which could not be suppressed with "Zhenlong Sand". But this is obviously just a naturally formed cave, perhaps it was discovered by a certain master by coincidence, which led to the appearance of this imperial tomb. As for where the "dragon" is located, I used all my imagination and did not find it.
Now that I have arrived here, I can only act according to the instructions of Aunt Ming and Second Uncle, and after I go out, I will personally go to the "Qing Xianju" to ask Aunt Ming about the whole story.
Thinking of this, I took out the box of the "Dragon Escape" from the backpack behind me, took out one, and groped towards the drawbridge. I held the map in my left hand, and I took out the dagger, observing the situation as I approached the drawbridge. I don't know where I'm going to come across the grave robber who came here before me, so I'll have to concentrate and be more careful.
When I moved to the edge of the cliff, I was once again shocked by the depth of the cliff and the sound of the turbulence under the cliff, although there were countless large and small cracks above my head to let in the sun, but the bottom of the deep cliff could not be seen clearly, only the sound of the rushing water was constantly lapping against the cliff wall, making a deafening sound.
I pulled out my flashlight from my backpack, presumably the tomb robber was already looking for treasure in the imperial tomb at this moment, and he didn't notice the light here from me.
The light of the flashlight hit the dark cliff wall, revealing the slightest shade and depth. Under the light of the flashlight, I could see the turbulent water at the bottom of the cliff, rushing from left to right.
The flashlight sent to me by Aunt Ming is a Shenhuo brand, and the maximum distance can reach 300 to 500 meters, such a long light distance, when it hits the wall close to the turbulence, the light becomes weaker, so it can be judged that the depth of this cliff is at least more than 300 meters.
The crack reaches the bottom of the cliff about 100 meters, and the depth of at least 300 meters is more than 400 meters. The height of the branch of Yuechengling where I am located is about 300 meters, which is not the highest mountain range in the vicinity. In other words, the turbulence at the bottom of this cliff is more than 100 meters underground, and at such a depth, the water flowing through must be an underground river. This kind of underground river is one of the reasons for the formation of karst landforms at the junction of Guilin and Hunan in Guangxi, but the underground rivers are generally relatively docile, so why do they have such turbulent rivers here? Could it be that this is the untamable dragon vein?
The suspension bridge in front of me is connected by nine thick black iron chains, and the interlocking chains give people a sense of solidity, and if you walk on it, you won't worry about breaking suddenly. The wooden planks that can be laid on it have been somewhat weathered after the baptism of time. Many of them were uplifted or broken, and judging by the extent of my recent fractures, they were indeed newly formed, and it seems that the grave robber, passing through here, must have tested the strength of the plank, and until a path was formed on the opposite bank where the plank was missing. From the moment I got here, everything was made for me by this "brother".
At that moment, I felt a sense of gratitude to this tomb robber. I don't know how the second uncle passed through this suspension bridge when he came here, but what is certain is that the road in front of me has just been formed, and it will not be the second uncle's doing.
The suspension bridge in front of you is about five meters wide, and there are nine thick iron chains next to each other, and there are hardly many gaps in between. The two sides of the suspension bridge are also surrounded by a row of iron chains, but they are much thinner than the ones that span the two banks.
I searched around, and finally decided to attach the "Dragon Talisman" in my hand to the side of the giant iron stone that held the nine iron chains, which were supposed to be fixed in the ground by an iron cone, and covered with this iron stone. The viscosity of this "Dunlong Talisman" is extremely strong, like a dog skin plaster clinging to the iron stone, I don't know what kind of glue, or there is some kind of gravitational force, I can feel the surrounding dragon energy, I can't say.
The experience of these few days has shaken my materialistic attitude, which was not a staunch materialist, and which was already formed when my father committed suicide. I've always thought of myself as a materialist, but every time my mind comes to mind about my father's death, this thought becomes untenable.
I always feel that my father's death is not so simple, there must be something similar to a curse, and a series of actions of the second uncle, as well as a series of actions given to me by the second uncle, are all related to this curse-like thing.
"Ahh Ah......h
Just as I was staring at the "Dragon Talisman" attached to the iron and stone, I suddenly heard two terrible screams from the other side! And mixed with mournful cries! This kind of sound is actually not very high, but there is an echo in this quiet confined space, and at this moment, the originally turbulent underground river at the bottom of the deep cliff suddenly became extremely quiet and docile at this time. This makes these two terrible voices sound particularly ugly and harsh!
The sound sounded like the screams of two children who had died tragically before they died!
At that moment, my scalp felt like it was about to explode, and I was enveloped in a fear that I had never felt before!
