Volume 1 Kurosawa Domain Chapter 87 The Great Pool

Since the discovery of the secret passage entrance in the Devil's City, it has been a temporary rest, although you can also take a nap, but everyone's physical and mental state has reached the limit, this time the adequate rest is undoubtedly a supplement in the snow, so that everyone's energy is greatly increased.

At this time, Han Debang, who was sleeping and sweating, kept complaining, saying that this was simply an incubator in the hospital, and only the mother did not give birth to a good child enter the incubator.

said that he raised the mineral water and drank it, but he accidentally didn't hold it, the water bottle fell to the ground and spilled on the ground, so angry that he cursed repeatedly, saying that this stepmother was too hateful, and she didn't even let her saliva drink.

Lu Wuyang was sleeping next to Han Debang, afraid that the spilled water would wet his clothes, so he hurriedly stared at the water and hid to the side.

Then I heard Lu Wuyang's "huh", and everyone was attracted by his voice, and saw Lu Wuyang lying on the ground, staring closely at the water.

Everyone's flashlights shone through, making this area extremely bright.

Seeing him staring at the water, everyone looked carefully at the water on the ground, and he would not have screamed casually without any situation.

I saw that this pool of water was sprinkled at the root of the mountain, the ground was rocky, and the mountain was also rocky, according to the normal water, this water can only slowly evaporate, and it will not disappear in a short time.

But the puddle of water was almost gone in an instant, and right under everyone's noses, the puddle of water strangely disappeared, leaving only a wet mark.

Lu Wuyang hurriedly took out a slender iron skewer from his tool bag, and pierced it horizontally from the ground and the root of the mountain into the mountain, and he actually inserted all the iron skewers more than a foot long into it.

He moved from side to side, and he could move very freely, and he got up and walked to the base of the other mountain, and he changed several places in succession, and there was a gap between the base of the mountain and the ground, and it was very deep, and this gap was level with the ground.

Lu Wuyang simply took the iron skewer and walked around the hill for a week, and finally found out that there was a gap between the entire mountain root and the ground.

Even in some of the wider gaps, he connected three identical iron skewers together, more than a meter long, and at the same time used a flashlight to shine inside, and he could still see that the iron skewers were inserted straight in.

In other words, the ground extends horizontally towards the root of the mountain, or rather, this huge hill has a flat bottom and sits directly on top of the flat ground.

Everyone did not expect this to be the case, and everyone had always thought that this hill was also part of the floor of this hall, but it was only necessary to carve the mountain and the statues on it, so that the mountain was cut into the ground and the mountain protruded.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all, so can't you carve directly in this huge cave? Why cut it off the ground? Could it be that there is a secret under this mountain?

With such skepticism, everyone searched the mountain and the mountain again, but it was still those statues that did not have any doubts, and there was nothing else, so they had to give up.

Fortunately, there was an unblocked passage behind the hill waiting for everyone, and everyone packed up and gathered in front of the unblocked passage, and the flashlight swept inward, and the passage was almost straight.

Cao Longxuan looked at the indication of the compass on his watch, and the passage was still extending to the southwest. He walked in without a word, and the others followed in turn.

After walking for more than an hour, after several twists and turns, everyone heard the sound of "rumbling" flowing water, and as they moved forward, the sound of flowing water became louder and louder.

Eventually, out of the passageway, everyone arrived at an incredible space.

When everyone stood at the exit of the passage and saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned.

In front of everyone was an underground pit as big as an open-air stadium, and it was a regular cylindrical space with a diameter of 100 meters.

Its high place is a huge dome dozens of meters high from the location of the people, illuminated by a flashlight, and it is found that the dome is basically a natural formation, and there are almost no traces of artificial repair.

Underneath the dome, there is a vertical stone wall that has been hewn and polished by hand, and is painted with frescoes, texts, and symbols.

The place where everyone stood was the mouth of the cave located on a high place, and it may have been necessary to transport the cleared stones and gravel out when this huge pit was built at that time, so the mouth of the cave was relatively open.

And there are stone steps that have been hewn out to connect downwards to the long staircase that spirals downward, and these spiral stairs and stone walls are one and the same by craftsmen who cling to the stone walls to build and hewn them.

There are several rows of grooves and square holes and round holes on both sides of the cave entrance, which are carefully observed at close range with a flashlight, and there are some smooth grooves in these holes, which are obviously hard ground out by friction for a long time.

Su Lao Ghost said that these should be the places where the machinery for lifting materials was installed in ancient times when this project was built, and those smooth grooves must have been ground out by the ropes that had been sliding over the years.

The steps that spiral down below are carved out of the cylindrical pit wall around it, and spiral all the way to the water surface at the bottom of the pit.

Looking down, dozens of meters deep below is a pool of water that is as round as a large lake, like a flat, smooth round mirror, quietly across the bottom of the pit, reflecting the dome above.

Due to geothermal reasons, although the cooling effect of the water is not as hot as in the cracks in the ground and in the caves of King's Mountain.

But it also allows this waterhole to evaporate water vapor upwards under the action of heat, but fortunately, the air here is relatively closed, no cold air comes in, and the water vapor phenomenon is not serious.

Looking down from the heights, the whole space here looks like a huge bucket, and there is no idea how much water has accumulated under the surface of the water like a large lake, which is much larger than a city's tap water reservoir.

Could it be that it was invented by Anonymous in ancient times to supply running water to his master, King Abraham, in the underworld?

And on the stone wall under the dome, there are eight golden-scaled dragons with teeth and claws drilled out of the stone wall, with horns and whiskers, angry eyes and noses, and vigorous scales and claws.

Climbing majestically on the stone wall, climbing over the murals, all the way down, climbing to the top of the water, as if thirsty drinking, swallowing the pool water from the water surface, the "rumbling" sound of flowing water is from this dragon's mouth.

Anything, once it is large enough to be shocking, even if it does not pose a threat to people.

This is the case with the huge pit in front of you, the overly large space not only fails to give people a sense of emptiness, but instead makes people feel a sense of oppression.

This kind of feeling can only be produced in a small space, and in such a huge empty space, it can also clearly produce a sense of urgency as if it was being coerced, which makes people not only wonder, but also wonder what such a huge space is used for?

Everyone walked down the spiral stairs, walking up the stairs, while holding a flashlight to shine on the mural on the stone wall, carefully watching and studying.

Only by this time, everyone could fully conclude that this huge pit, and the firefly cave in front of it, the oil pool, the huge stone gate, and the sealing stone of the cave, were all part of King Abraham's tomb.

Along the way, everyone has been doubting whether their guess is accurate, and now it seems that there is no longer any need to doubt that this is the tomb of King Abraham that everyone is looking for.

Because the content of the frescoes, the words and symbols on the stone wall, etc., have been completely confirmed by the inscription carved on the stone wall of his tomb by the anonymous man, this is undoubtedly the tomb of King Abraham.

However, looking at the huge pit in front of him, one can't help but wonder that this anonymous design preferences and ideas also have a single side to him.

For example, I prefer this huge, cylindrical overall design, whether it is the giant pit where the "torture balance" is installed, or the oil pond filled with black oil, it is basically this design idea in terms of spatial structure.

But everyone was puzzled by what he was doing with such a big pool.

The mural is so informative that it looks like a kingdom's history library, and even information from multiple countries.

Covering almost all of the major historical processes and major events in most of the Western Regions over a period of time, they are reflected here in the form of murals and texts.

Walking down the sloping steps next to these murals, everyone walked up to the water-absorbing dragon only to realize that this was not "dragon sucking water" at all, but "dragon spitting water" or "dragon spraying water".

Just like the painting in the early years, when the dragon travels and rains, the surging heavenly water spouts out of the mouth and falls on the world, which is Ganlin.

Descending down the spiral stairs to the surface of the water, only to find that this wide pool is deep and wide, it is simply a big lake, green and secluded, cold and forested, but it is roasted by the geothermal steam permeated, and the whole waterhole surface is like a demon mist, which makes people fearful.

In a circle of the stone wall on the surface of the water, a white flower foam accumulated, Wang Ziming squatted in front of the water and looked at it for a while, actually stretched out a finger, dipped the foam, put it on his tongue and licked it, and then said: "It's salt." ”

When everyone heard him and looked closely, they found that it was not white foam at all, but the crystallization of salt.

Then everyone had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of the anonymous inscription that said, "With the technique of 'floor drain', the salt crystal lake is led into the 'Kun Palace'", which seems to undoubtedly refer to this place.

Between Karamay and Devil's City, there is the famous Manas Salt Lake, which they diverted salt water into the ground, forming a "drain lake" in this underground space, that is, the huge waterhole in front of them, which should be the so-called "Kun Palace".

But what is this "Kun Palace" for? In that inscription, it is mentioned that "Kun Yin Mo Jiao", presumably the "Kun" and this "Kun" should be the same thing, or related, but what does this refer to?

It's still puzzling.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Li Yulan suddenly shout: "What is there?" Everyone looked at her flashlight, and it turned out that at the surface of the water, there was a black thing leaning against the stone wall, floating on the water, with a bloody mouth.

Just now, the mist on the surface of the water was steaming, and I didn't see its existence.

Everyone was shocked, could it be that there was a murderous thing like a human-faced monster to worship again?

Everyone gathered all the flashlights and looked closely, only to find that it was not a living thing, but a statue carved according to the stone wall.

Radiating along the surface of the water, there are eight monsters with wide mouths around the entire waterhole, as if greedily swallowing the water in the huge pool.

Because in front of everyone, just look at the originally calm water, in front of the monster's huge mouth, a rapid flow of water was formed, and the monster sucked it in.

Everyone was worried that because the light was not clear, and the pool water was deep and deep, they couldn't see it really, so in order to verify whether the pool of water was sucked away by the monster, Niu Gang threw the plastic bag left over from his food to the water in front of the monster's giant mouth, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the monster's mouth with the water rapids.
