Chapter Ninety-Five: Painting the Waterfall
Everyone looked in the direction of Bai Yunfei's finger, the morning light was everywhere, the clouds were vast, and the green vegetation surrounded the perimeter of the wide cliff, and this blue-gray cliff was almost as high as the snake-body witch, and the surface was bare, although it was not smooth, it was not very rough, and there was nothing special about it.
Everyone watched for a long time, but they didn't see the reason.
"Could there be some secret passage there?" Lu Wuyang asked.
"It's unlikely, although you can't see the fiery sun in this valley, but the light is not bad at all, the sight is so good, and the sight is so real, there is not even a crack on this tall stone wall, and the possibility of a secret passage is very small. Of course, it may also be very hidden, but it is too close to the snake witch to go over and knock, if there is a secret passage, hit hard, whether it is solid or hollow, the sound can be heard by itself. Bai Yunfei's eyes stared at the stone wall like a mountain that had been cut open, and shook his head.
"Isn't there a way to know for sure?" Wang Ziming asked.
"Of course not." Bai Yunfei smiled, bent down to pick up a sleek pebble, and threw it hard towards the stone wall, only to see that the pebble was thrown out of a beautiful parabola and fell directly to the stone wall dozens of meters away.
"Boom!" The sound of stones and walls crashing resounded at the valley floor.
"Listen to the voice, how about it?" Bai Yunfei asked Old Ghost Su.
"It's not like that, solid Dimi." Old Ghost Su dealt with it a little listlessly.
If you want to talk about hearing, don't look at Su Laogui's age, no one here has good hearing, after all, he is an "expert" in tomb robbing, and Tufuzi's specialty of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting" is his housekeeping skills.
"Come, everyone throws pebbles at the stone wall, but don't throw too many at the same time, the sound will be chaotic, and you will not be able to hear clearly, so it is best to take turns throwing them." Bai Yunfei suggested.
So, everyone began to follow Bai Yunfei's example, and began to throw pebbles at the vast cliff stone wall, and after throwing it for more than ten minutes, the loud sound of the cobblestones colliding with the stone wall kept sounding, but I didn't see Su Lao Ghost nodding his head, or having a bright expression in his eyes, just collapsing his face there, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"How? Su old-timers. Bai Yunfei asked again.
"Don't bother it, there's no problem." Old Ghost Su shook his head, then turned back and walked to the "wall root" under the cliff not far from them, "actually sat down to rest, no longer interested in this side."
Everyone threw pebbles so that their arms were sore, but when they heard Su Lao Ghost say this, they were all very depressed, and a few people were even sitting on the cobblestone river beach.
Niu Gang's temper came up again, originally there was a creek behind him, the water quality was clear, and the water in everyone's backpack was taken from the creek, he could lie down on the side of the stream and drink a good time, but as soon as his temper came up, he completely forgot about it, unloaded the backpack and found a plastic bag of water, "Goo Dong, Gu Dong" Niu drank it, and then vented the remaining half of the bag of water, and vigorously slammed the tall cliff in front of him.
I saw this bag of water too
It flew out of a parabola and smashed down on the cliff wall about three stories high, and the bag shattered with a "pop" and the water was scattered.
Immediately, Niu Gang also scolded and sat down on the river beach to rest.
Bai Yunfei had been standing on the cobblestone river beach and observing the huge cliff wall that was almost a whole mountain, and after Niu Gang threw the plastic bag containing the stream water, the water sputtered in all directions and then began to flow downward.
Bai Yunfei watched for a long time, but he didn't see a reason, so he also took a few steps back and sat down on the river beach where everyone gathered and sat to rest.
But he didn't rest for long, and he heard Bai Yunfei shouting: "Look fast!" ”
When everyone heard the shouting, they all followed the sound and looked in the direction where Bai Yunfei was watching.
I saw that Bai Yunfei was still observing this huge cliff wall excitedly, and at this time, he was already so excited that he stood up violently.
After everyone looked at the stone wall, they found that the entire blue-gray stone wall, except for the water marks caused by the plastic bag filled with water thrown by Niu Gang, there was no other change, so they couldn't help but look at Bai Yunfei in surprise, meaning what do you see?
Bai Yunfei was also surprised, frowning and asking suspiciously, "You really didn't see it?" ”
"See what?" Everyone also asked suspiciously.
"The water-soaked area, of course. You see, the whole stone wall of the same color, in the place soaked by the water thrown by the bull, although it is not obvious, you can still see that some places are still blue-gray, and some places have turned dark black, but this change is not too obvious. But if you look closely, you will see that at the junction where there is a contrast of colors, like a mural, there are soft lines, and this piece seems to be painted as if it were part of the snake body of this snake witch. Do you think it looks like it? ”
After being reminded by Bai Yunfei, everyone is still skeptical, and they are not sure or categorically denyed, because it is indeed the stone wall with the same color on the whole surface that has a difference in color change after being sprayed with water, but if it is said that it is just such a small piece of wet water, it is too arbitrary to conclude that this stone wall may be an invisible mural.
So no one answered Bai Yunfei's question about whether it was like it.
Niu Gangxin was straightforward and said what everyone thought.
But Bai Yunfei was not discouraged, he saw that he couldn't convince everyone, thought about it for a while, and suddenly came to inspiration, and hurriedly said:
"We have already seen when we came down just now, this stream is flowing down a steep slope, proving that there is a water source on it, and we want to intercept the water source and lead it to the top of this cliff, and try to let the water wet the whole stone wall, I suspect that there should be a grand mural hidden on this huge stone wall, of course, this is just speculation and intuition."
"What? You're crazy! I'm a good one, how big is this project, your baby is the leader of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and you can't harm us with this, you can't do it if you want to tire us? Old Ghost Su's head shook into a rattle and resolutely objected.
Although no one else spoke out against it, it could be seen from their expressions that they were not too much in favor.
Cao Longxuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Your idea is a bit big, I don't know if it's been making trouble for a long time."
What can be gained in the end? ”
"It's impossible to answer now, no one is sure if there is a problem with this stone wall, but how do you know if you haven't tried? Also, I don't have a hunch that I've always been in Turin, but this time it always feels like something isn't quite right. You think, this huge stone wall, next to it stands a statue of a serpent witch almost ten stories high, and this statue still points to this cliff, if it doesn't make sense at all, I don't believe it. But what exactly it implies, I guess it may have something to do with the change in the wet water. Of course, it may not matter, but at present, it has to be tried whether it is related or not, this is my personal opinion. ”
After Bai Yunfei finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
Morality is Niu Gang and Li Yulan nodded in support, then Cao Longxuan expressed support, and then everyone else agreed with this approach, but the only difference is, how can this seemingly impossible idea be achieved?
Bai Yunfei suddenly smiled slightly: "There is no endless road, let's go up and investigate on the spot before making a decision." ”
The people followed him back the way they came, and climbed back up the steep slope.
After passing through low shrubs and small patches of rainforest, and around the mouth of the earthquake crevasse where the camp was held, the group continued their ascent up the hill until they reached the summit along a cascading stream.
The people who climbed to the top of the ridge were immediately shocked and gasped, they really didn't know if they didn't see it, and they were startled when they saw it.
Who would have thought that there would be an artificial canal on the top of this high mountain?
It is said that it is an artificial canal, because there can be no pure natural river, so coincidentally flowing on the top of the mountain, the two banks of the river are very neatly chiseled, if it is not for the traces of artificiality, no matter how miraculous nature is, it is impossible to have such a long miracle to appear, occasionally there is a section, you can also agree, such a stretch of the river, zigzag, rushing away, not seeing the beginning and the end, if it is not artificial, it has already flowed down to the mountain, how can there be the possibility of the existence of the river on the top of the mountain?
"I'm a good girl! This ancient man really eats and drips, and he builds such a long and big ditch on the top of the mountain, and there is no one to make a living? Old Ghost Su sighed, and then suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh violently: "Forehead drop mother, Lao Tzu finally knows what the 'and water dragon' is, it's it!" ”
As soon as everyone listened to him, and pondered again, they understood that when they were in the "Merge Water Dragon", they were surprised why the two cliffs facing each other in the distance were all surging waterfalls pouring down from the cliffs, forming a spectacular "Merge Water Dragon" spectacle, which was deliberately done by the ancients.
"I see." Bai Yunfei nodded and said:
"The immortal beast country established in this magical Wei King Valley, in the only weak link in the defense of Tongwang Cave, must rely on the turbulent Tongwang Cave River, as well as the natural environment of the valley mouth, set up the Black Fog Valley, the 'Merge Water Dragon', the water world, etc., to form multiple passes, and only then will a tight defensive front be established. This ancient man is really amazing! ”
Looking at the man-made river on the top of the mountain that flows endlessly in front of you, the two banks are densely forested and grassy, the river water is sparkling, a natural stone cliff protrudes from the mouth, and the isolated mountain peak on the bank of the river
Leaning out, like an eagle's beak, lonely and dangerous.
"Yunfei, what is your plan?" Cao Longxuan asked.
Bai Yunfei looked at the towering and precipitous eagle's beak cliff for a long time, then exhaled and said categorically: "Use explosives!" ”
"What?!" The crowd apparently did not understand his intentions.
"Day shift, we don't have much explosives, are you thinking about opening this embankment? Then this little bit of poor's explosives is not enough! Niu Gang was known as a "blasting expert" when he was in the army, and even Bai Yunfei had to bow down when he played explosives.
"No, we'll blow it up!" Bai Yunfei said and pointed to the eagle's beak cliff on the high place.
About an hour later, only a few unusually loud explosions were heard roaring through the Weiwang Valley, and the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project, which the ancients had built with great effort on the top of the mountain, was scrapped by Bai Yunfei's arrogant idea.
When the eagle's beak cliff crashed into the river with a roar, the man-made river on the top of the mountain, which had been flowing for thousands of years, was immediately cut off.
It didn't take long for the "dammed lake" to form in the man-made river channel at the top of the mountain, and the water level of the truncated river soared horizontally, forming a water curtain waterfall at the "hat brim cliff" above the huge cliff rock wall.
However, due to the existence of the "hat brim" terrain, the powerful torrent that suddenly appeared poured down directly like a waterfall hanging in the sky, and did not wet the entire cliff stone wall at all, but left the stone wall some distance, and poured directly onto the river beach, overflowing.
Looking at this scene, everyone was surprised and frustrated, because no one expected that such a big flood-like water would flow away without flowing to the stone wall at all.
It seems that it was in vain.
Originally, according to Bai Yunfei's vision, the dream of using the "water of the heavenly river" to rush down and then pour water on the cliff wall to "paint" was ruthlessly shattered in the end.
