Chapter Ninety-One: The Canyon Cable
At this time, it was already dark, and Brother Long and the others shone it with a flashlight, but they couldn't see the bottom at all, and under the light of the flashlight, I could see that at the crack in the canyon, there should be some iron cables built horizontally and vertically.
"It's too dark to see clearly, so we'd better find a way to get in tomorrow morning." I had no choice but to say.
Brother Long nodded and said, "That's right, and you look over there." ”
We looked at his fingers and couldn't help but be stunned.
At a distance from us, we also saw some light, and apparently there were people over there.
But when we looked over, the light was immediately extinguished.
Who is it? Fourth Master Wang?
I immediately thought of him in my heart, because if I can come here, it is his team, and no one else should come here, right?
"Did they just get here, too? No, they left before us. Zhang Shihong walked closer and said strangely.
"That's not the point, after all, we came over, it was already dark, and they were probably here close to the left of the dark sky, so they had to stop, so it took a long time. But what I want to know is how we can be so far away when we enter from one place. ”
Brother Long's question is also what I want to ask.
After thinking for a while, I asked, "Brother Long, are you sure you followed the instructions of those stone statues?" ”
"That's right, otherwise, we wouldn't have been here."
"I see." I clapped my hands, damn it, what is the gossip retrograde wind, it does not refer to the retrograde direction of the wind at all, but to those stone statues.
Those stone statues can be turned in reverse on their own, which means that the mechanism outside is not a dead mechanism, but a living mechanism.
Oh my God, I turned my head and looked at our periphery, how did the ancients design it, such a big living mechanism, just to protect the things inside, so how important is this tomb of King Huaiyang?
Brother Long looked around at this time and said, "They may not be able to come, so let's go to the car and rest." ”
I nodded, and when I turned around, I heard a whisper.
The voice, very much like people whispering again, was not loud and the voice was relatively vague.
I looked around, but I couldn't see who was talking, was it because I was hallucinating?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and walked towards the car.
I slept fairly comfortably this night, and when it was dawn, Brother Long and they naturally got up and called me.
It was only then that dawn dawned and I could see where we were now.
This is a cliff cliff of a canyon, the space of this cliff is still very large, horizontally, it is eight or nine hundred meters, and the longitudinal is about the same, it feels like a square.
And the depth is unknown now, because our flashlight can't shine on the bottom.
We are now parking a spot with a small number of shrubs and plants all around, and in addition to this small platform, there is sand in the distance.
During the day, you can also see Wang Siye's side, they are actually not far from us, that is, a circle distance of four or five hundred meters, so we can see it very clearly.
But the place between us is a sandy area, so I'm sure they won't be able to get by, at least they won't venture into the sand.
"Hey, it's Captain Dragon's team." There was a call on the walkie-talkie, it was Wang Siye over there.
Brother Long immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.
"What's wrong?"
"We have the loss of personnel, how are you doing there?" Fourth Master Wang's tone actually softened.
"There are no casualties on our side, and outside the sand, we saw your brother, who died quite miserably."
"It's not just one person, we have lost three, and in the current situation, I suggest that it is better for us to act together, because I don't know if we will have any more problems."
Maybe it was because of these things, so the tone of Wang Siye's voice completely softened.
Brother Long looked at us, probably asking for our opinion.
"You're the captain, it's up to you." I have no way to object.
Lu Xiaodan said: "It's always good to have more strength, but to explain, you must listen to us." ”
Brother Long nodded, took the walkie-talkie and said: "You can act together, but you must listen to us, otherwise, we will still take care of ourselves." ”
"Okay." The other side replied helplessly, "So now, where are we going to meet, obviously we can't go through the sand, right?" ”
The sand is more than 300 meters away, and if there are those red bugs down there, I believe they will be eaten as soon as they step on the sand.
Brother Long looked at the iron chains in front of him and said, "Then you can only gather from the iron cables, these iron cables are still very strong." ”
"It's better to assemble below." I thought for a moment and said, "On the iron cable, once we encounter an emergency, we will all be finished." ”
Brother Long glanced at me, nodded, and then continued to say into the walkie-talkie: "Let's use the method to go down and gather below." ”
There was a call from the other side, and there was no more echo, and I saw that they were already preparing ropes or something.
Brother Long also prepared here, and he found a pair of hiking shoes.
I didn't care about them, but I stood on the outskirts of the canyons, looking over the chains.
The ropes looked thick, and eight of them branched out from all sides, heading towards the middle.
In the middle, the eight thickest iron cables are connected by many slightly thinner iron cables, which feel like a huge spider web.
"Telescope?" I asked.
A telescope was immediately handed behind me, and when I looked back, Zhang Siqiao was smiling at me.
I responded, and then looked through the binoculars.
In the middle of the cable, there was not much sinking, so I could see how strong the place connected to the canyon was, but in the middle, I saw a downward cable.
Looking down along the iron cable, there is another group of such iron cable formations below, and if you look down further, you have already entered the darkness, and you can't see anything at all.
I gritted my teeth, feeling a hint of unease in my heart.
"I'll go down and see first, and if it's possible, you can go down the rope." Brother Long walked to the edge of the canyon at this time.
"Wait." I stopped him, and Brother Long turned his head to look at me with a strange look on his face.
"Let them take a look first, I always feel that something is not right." I glanced at Fourth Master Wang and said.
"Don't, if we move slowly, it's not good, obviously our side is strong now, and they are still ahead." Brother Long smiled.
I shook my head and said, "Brother Long, listen to me, after all, it's better to be ahead than to lose your life, look at those iron cables." ”
I handed the binoculars to him.
He picked it up and looked at it and said, "Is there a problem?" ”
I pointed to the downward iron cable in the middle and said, "That place is obviously a way to go down, if you can use a rope to go down, why did the ancients leave a rope in the middle?" Is it for the convenience of work? ”
Brother Long looked at it twice more and said, "This ......"
"Could it be that when the tomb is built, something can be put down through there, or rather, the one that will be set up after the tomb is built?" Lu Xiaodan guessed on the side.
"If it's built, what else is there to do with this, and if it is removed, then no one will be able to get down?" I directly opposed Lu Xiaodan's words.
She glared at me fiercely, but didn't say anything more, because I was right.
I'm planning this in my heart right now, building a tomb in this place, so I don't believe that those people will come here at the right time to worship or something.
They left this passage and spent so much force to change the situation around them, there is only one possibility, that is, there should be something protected underneath.
Since it is protection, then the iron cable in the middle definitely has its role, otherwise, even if these iron cables are not used, the people of the Song Dynasty can go down with ropes.
At that time, they should have had a very long and strong hemp rope, right?
At this time, the fourth master over there has already begun to act.
I saw a sturdy man, and then slipped down.
At first glance, this guy was also a soldier, and the way of descent was a direct rappelling, but two ropes were used, one to protect him, and one to fix it on the canyon.
I looked at the man, and he descended very quickly, and in just a few clicks, he was already where we couldn't see, only a little light from a flashlight.
At this time, I seemed to hear that whispering again, but it was far away from us, and it was very thin.
It was daylight, and I looked around, and no one was talking, everyone was paying attention to the descending light.
"Ahh A miserable scream came from below, and then, the rope on Wang Siye's side sank, and I saw that all of them pulled the rope hard, and then stabilized their figures.
The light didn't move, it just stopped there.
"Let them pull it up and take a look." I felt a chill on my body, and sure enough, something had happened.
Brother Long immediately came to the car and said into the walkie-talkie, "Pull the rope up and take a look." ”
I saw that several people on Wang Siye's side worked together to continuously pull the light up.
I took the binoculars and looked that way, and after passing the dark layer, the figure appeared in front of me.
I swallowed a few times, it wasn't a whole person anymore.
The lower half of his body was bitten off by something, leaving only the upper body with a rope, and the internal organs should have fallen down the hole in his stomach.
There were only a few blood vessels left, and they hung there.
At this moment, a hand slapped on my shoulder, startling me.
I turned my head to see that it was Brother Long, he glanced at me and said, "Thank you,, I almost lost my footing." ”
