Those clay kiln jars are very similar to the ones I made on gentle slopes, but both in texture and shape, they are many steps higher than my craftsmanship, and the surface of the jars is very rustic black, and there seem to be many small holes in them, such jars are simply impossible to achieve in my process, and they will crack when burned.

This discovery made me hold the dagger to my chest for an instant, and I held my breath to observe the gap again, and even everything around me, eight and a half years, this is the first time I have come into contact with people in civilized society, although I have long concluded that there must be a person with the same level of civilization as me in the forest, but when I really found the existence of these "products of civilization" such as earthen kiln jars and artificially polished stone chains, I panicked.

I looked at the two stone chains by the light of the birds on the top of the cave, and found that they were forty or fifty meters long, and I thought they were some kind of fixed chain to maintain some kind of balance in the cave, but in fact they had two round holes with a diameter of more than one meter at their roots and extended out of the cave;

I drove the birds as far as I could, leaning towards the gap so that I could see through their light, and this made the birds scatter and flee in all directions, and it was for this reason that I took the opportunity to see the general idea of the hole;

It was more of a semi-enclosed river than a cave, and the water flowed slowly on the platform I was on to the other end of the river, and a few old trees that had long since withered slanted from the root of the cave wall to the middle of the river, which provided a good shelter for the light birds;

It is strange to say that no matter how much I try to catch up, none of those light birds fly close to the gap, and even the edge of the gap is willing to set foot in, and a few of the stupid little ones only flew to the rock platform in front of me, and their heads tilted left and right to look at me, as if they had seen some unknown species of stunned green, and one brain plunged into the "inferior playground" they opened;

Even so, the dim light of their bodies is still of great use to me;

The first few stone pillows in front of the gap had fallen off from the top, and smashed the rows of earthen kiln jars closest to me to pieces, and through the broken fractures, I saw that the human skulls were placed upright, and the hollow orbital bones were mixed with the gooey that was wet and attached, and seemed to be staring at me deadly;

This surprise was not trivial, and I retreated several steps and almost fell back into the water, but fortunately, my long-term life with the natives, coupled with the bloody and bone-and-death struggle, made my fear of this human head exist only for a moment, and then I looked up and down again and came to my first judgment;

Judging from the current situation, it is no accident that I went down from the ground down to the swamp, and was wrapped in those tentacles to such a special place, everything seemed to be running organically;

Whether it is "you enter here freely" or "you enter by yourself" described in the "Eye of the Yellow Spring", the person who made all this obviously does not want this to be a free space, and the person who can enter here must have several necessary conditions, such as at least knowing Chinese characters, and having some logical judgment or something. In short, the quagmire and the tentacles do seem to have cut off the vast majority of people's exploration of this string of words;

If you extend the logic a little more... I felt as if my fingers had been stung by something as I struggled in the mire, and then I was wrapped in those tentacles, and I don't know if it had anything to do with me being thrown here, but I had to understand that I had come here by necessity, not by chance;

Judging from this, everything in this crevice, including those earthen kiln jars, stone pillows, stone chains, and even those skulls, is the next test, and this is probably another mechanism, an organ used to identify the comer;

If it is not bad, then there must be some revenge mechanism for the skulls in this dense jar in front of me, as long as I do something wrong, those stone pillows on the top of my head will fall off and fall on my body, I am not worried about smashing those jars, because it is useless, could it be that the original intention of the person who made them was to release a few skulls to bite me after the jar was broken? I don't believe in such nonsense;

Since everything was arranged to bring me here, he wouldn't have killed me in this crack without warning, and I didn't expect to find any "buttons" or other switches on the walls around me, but I should always touch some wrench, stone trough or something, as I've seen in those movies and TV shows before, and then the crack will suddenly open up to both sides, leaving a wide road for me to walk!

Well, it turns out that I was stupid to think so, or that the movies were not worth any reference at all;

Lao Tzu almost tried to press the walls of the caves with his hands as long as I could get them, and groped to see if there were any doors on these cave walls, and Lao Tzu even kneeled down in front of the crack and kowtowed several times like in martial arts novels, knocking one place and knocking the other, until I felt that this was really a bit lacking!

But the crack is still the same crack, whether I care or not, it's there;

I also tried to find my way to the mire to see if there was a hole I could burrow back into, hold my breath and get back to the surface. Yes, even if it was dangerous, it was better for me than for me to crawl through these clay jars in the dark, for it was an unknown danger, and the difficulty of climbing back was at least as hard as I could have predicted;

But things are so wicked, no matter how much I toss, all the walls of the cave that I can touch seem to be dead, and there is no hole to be found except for the connection of the two stone chains on the opposite bank.

Damn, close the door after the cubs? How did Lao Tzu get here?

In my heart, I repeatedly dispelled the urge to climb the connection of the stone chain drill several times, although the stone chain was thigh-thick, but let me ride it to climb more than 50 meters, thinking that I didn't have this ability, and fell into the white smoke of the river, thinking about it, I know that the consequences are definitely not good.

There are more and more light birds gathered on the platform, maybe they found that there is no danger for those few stupid little guys to fall here, with the gradually stronger light, my heart trembled and came to the gap again, and the two feet subconsciously stayed away from the jars that had been broken and hugged the human skull, leaned forward and looked into the gap again, but this time I found that there were many grooves on the stone walls on both sides of the gap that was only one person wide!

The grooves were boxy, arranged in two rows and symmetrical from left to right, and I repeated the comparison several times, and the distance between the top and bottom was just right for the hands and feet of the man to place in each groove, which was by no means natural, and was obviously left here by manual chiseling;

I began to feel sorry for my blindness, wasn't this the "way" that was left for me by the people who made this place?

But if this gap is really a mechanism, then this "grooved road" for people to step on and pass through is deliberately left here, is it a bit too simple?
