166. Pipe
I didn't study what kind of lampstand, but I wondered where her voice came from, who couldn't see Xiao You. Raising his head and looking up, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, the roof of the cave was not a normal concave or convex or so-called stalactites, but a ...... Tapered bevel. This is secondly, mainly because the surface is smooth as a mirror, and I can see my reflection in many facets.
No, you get distracted every time you see something, and you never get an answer to the question that should be analyzed. Close your eyes, calm your mind, and gradually everything around you will disperse, and only the voice will be heard in your ears at a short and varying speed.
When I opened my eyes, I finally understood what was going on, and I searched around, and finally my eyes landed on a cobblestone that was taller than my own not far away. I walked over and saw that the cobblestone was standing in a pool, and the water was very shallow enough to see.
When I was listening quietly, I could see that the frequency of the unclear voice was regular, and it was actually repeating a passage over and over again. It's not that Xiaoyu keeps repeating it, but her voice is left here.
The cobblestone is the heart, and the top wall is the arc, which has been artificially built to create a sound wall. It's like the current recording function, when the sound waves come here, it's accepted, and then it's repeated repeatedly.
But Xiao Yu didn't say it here, otherwise her voice wouldn't be so vague. I thought about it, there was only one possibility, that is, there might be a rift in this place, and it happened that Xiao You had stood at the other end of the rift and said something like that, so the sound became blurred when it reached this place.
Since the voice can be transmitted, it means that the place is not far away, and I just need to find the track to spread.
But I didn't find any cracks in the stone wall, and I didn't see anything in the ground. The eye still fell on the round stone, which was about two meters high and one meter in diameter, and there was no trace of slipping, and the color was black, which looked like a rough stone.
Try throwing a pebble into the pool and nothing out of the ordinary. I ignored the groundwater, and walked over to the cobblestone to see if there was a crack in it. The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, I thought this stone was a rough stone, but after a closer look, I found that it had lines on its body, and these lines formed a picture. But I could only see the middle part of the circle around the cobblestone, and I couldn't see the bottom or the top, so I guessed in my mind that it was a map.
The painter did not paint carefully, but simply engraved the lines with a round stone base. The top was too high for me to reach, so I had to bend down and reach into the water to touch the lines, but just as I touched a node, the sudden round stone rolled towards me, and my body flashed to the side and glared at the round stone in fear, and I was almost crushed by it in the pool of water after a slow step. But the next moment I froze, and the cobblestone rolled twice before stopping, revealing the bottom that had just been sunk in the water.
I subconsciously looked at the position that had been hidden by the heavy pressure, and a large mouth about 30 centimeters in diameter was exposed under the surface of the water.
The questions that had been inexplicable just now were answered, and Xiao You's voice came up from under the pool into the center of the cobblestone, and then stored in the echo wall and spread repeatedly. But what scares me even more is why the water in the pool doesn't flow down when such a big gap is exposed. The surface of the water, except for the ripples caused by the rolling of the cobblestone just now, is gradually calming down.
Is the notch blocked by clear glass?
I walked over and reached in, and when I touched the gap, I didn't encounter any covering, and my hand just went down. I was suspicious and wondered, since there was nothing to block this gap, how could it not fall if it was natural for water to flow low? Just when my hand passed through the gap, I could feel that it was empty underneath, not in the water.
I was about to reach out again when I casually glanced at the cobblestone, but I didn't stop, but I paused as I stared into the gap. In a trance, he slowly turned his head and looked at that point little by little.
My heart tightened, and I slowly stretched my hand towards it.
When I grasped the object under the cobblestone and in the pool in my hand, it was as if a hole had been broken somewhere in my heart, and the hole was gradually spreading at a speed that I could feel.
I closed my eyes forcefully, and when I looked down, I opened my eyes and stared at what was in my palm.
It's an iron pipe that's already covered in rust...... Scenes flashed in my mind, there was me and my mother rolling tobacco under the lamp, and the tobacco was made by drying a plant that my mother specially planted to look like tobacco, and then I stole his real tobacco and replaced the rolled tobacco we rolled up. It was the only stealing I would have done repeatedly in my life, and he didn't seem to notice the difference in the tobacco, and gradually got used to our special cigarettes.
I peeled the rust off the pipe little by little with my fingernails, and rubbed it lightly with my fingertips.
When I was younger, I saw that he liked this pipe, so I also loved the house and the black, and deliberately engraved the mark of my nickname on it. He called me "Yuanzi", so I carved a circle.
Under my fingers, even though the rust is still there, the circle can still come out rubbingly.
I've thought about many possibilities, but I've never thought about it...... He's been here before! The dull pain in the dust was gradually flooding, and I asked softly in my heart: Dad, where are you?
After a moment of trance, it was impossible for the pipe to be left behind in recent times, judging by the degree of rust of the pipe. I carefully put my pipe in my bag, and if I had thought that this trip was inexplicable and redundant, I would not have thought so much about it. And I have a question in my heart: Why did my father come to Guiyang and enter this weird cave?
Since the pipe was found under cobblestone, it proves that Dad must have been here. There was no other way but this underwater gap in front of me, and I gritted my teeth and no longer hesitated to slide my foot through the whole person. I held my breath when the water didn't pass over my face, but it turned out that the gap was not deep, and my feet quickly hit the ground.
The first instinct was to look up, and the gap I had come down from a meter above my head was one meter above, but at the moment it was flat, and I couldn't see any gap at all. No wonder Xiao You's voice was transmitted to the top, but he seemed to be completely unaware.
Looking around again, it seems that I have come to the core of this mountain. Unlike the cave I just walked through, this is a flat stone chamber, but this stone chamber has a total of four doors, located in four directions, south, east, west, and north. Since the east is on the left, I don't have any options, so I just go to the left. Standing in front of the stone gate and looking closely, I don't understand the mechanism, the only thing I can uphold is whether my special eyes can see something unusual.
But the stone door had neither holes nor lines, it was just a flat stone door, and I was not sure what would happen when the door was pushed open, but I still stuck to my original concept, and stretched out my two hands to press on the two stone doors.
With a little effort, it was found that the stone door was not tightly closed, and there was no abnormal movement when it was pushed open. But when I pushed the door open completely, my eyes sank, and my heart fell into the abyss.
Oh, it's a room full of people!
I didn't care about the rest, my eyes were just locked on the figure. I don't understand, when everything is fine on top of it and even when I fall into the deep pool, why he looks at me with such strange eyes at this moment, and can't wait for him when I am almost destroyed? Sometimes a person's eyes can make people feel comforting, and sometimes they are intimidating, just like that.
Next to him stood Cen Xi, although it was still the same set of clothes, but they were all dry, and his hair was neatly combed. Unlike me, my pants and shoes are still dripping with water, and it seems that I can't get rid of the water tonight.
Cen Xi was no longer as embarrassed as before, looking at me with pity in his eyes, but he was not saying to me, but to the man next to him: "A woman who has no ability to protect herself can actually untie the underwater dragon lock and escape and come here, Ah Xi, do you still think she is weak and dependable?" ”
My heart sank, and I somewhat understood why Gu Xi's eyes were so cold.
Gu Xi didn't speak, still staring at me condescendingly. That's right, condescendingly.
The space behind the stone gate is larger than any other place I've been to before, first of all, the waterway is now, but this waterway is not a pool or a pool, but a canal. It enclosed the center, and in the center was a round platform built up of stairs, and the round platform was about twenty square meters in size. Gu Xi and Cen Xi were standing on the edge of the round platform, five or six meters higher than my height.
Behind them were standing or sitting a few people, but I was first drawn to the fact that I was the closest to me, on the lowest platform of the round platform, in the canal. Her expression was very calm, without the slightest fear she heard on the phone, and she was lying motionless beside her. I was secretly relieved to make sure his chest was still heaving.
In addition, there were some other people scattered around, and I didn't know anything else, but I still knew the two people who were guarding the door at the bamboo gate at the bottom of the mountain, and they looked guarded, and their muscles were tense.
I looked up again and glanced over the two men, and saw behind them sat an old man who looked to be about sixty years old, and I could probably guess who it was, judging by his proper dress and calm demeanor.
