There are many caves of different sizes and shades surrounding the stalactites. One of the branch caves extends upwards, and the cave is covered by a thick interweaving of white transparent stalactites.

Smooth and transparent milky white stalactites, like a round curtain made of white jade, cover the cave. It looks so warm and cute. It would be nice if you brought your mobile phone, and you would definitely take a picture and post it on the Internet for netizens to watch.

Hey? What is that?

Si Shaoshan's torch shone on me, and I vaguely saw a golden object in the transparent milky white stalactite.

I took the torch in Si Shaoquan's hand and looked carefully at the cave.

"Look at you, it doesn't look like a gold bracelet. This one is like a golden bottle, a golden bodhisattva, a golden arhat. Oh, this bodhisattva's golden lotus seat is more clearly recognizable. It feels like it grows in a stalactite, is this a real thing or the shape of a stone? "I asked the three Si brothers.

"It's true, it's a treasure. Big brother, you see, this is obviously the elephant riding Arhat and the contemplative Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats. The master said that there are eighteen arhats made of gold in the treasure. Si Shaoshan took my words loudly in surprise.

Si Shaomu also said: "It's like, let's go up and have a look." ”

We looked at the hole at the same time, four or five meters high, very narrow. The only way to get into the hole is to crawl up.

However, this stalactite is not only smooth and difficult to climb, but the uneven stone has blade-like water chestnuts. This has to climb in, and first of all, all the clothes on the body must be completely wasted. It's hard to keep your skin from hurting.

Moreover, the cliffs of four or five meters high are very steep and the entrance to the cave is narrow. It is difficult to come in handy with light work.

"I'll go up and have a look." Si Shaoquan put down the cloth bag and took out the hemp rope and tied it around his waist. The end of the rope was handed to Si Shaoshan.

Then put on the cloth bag on your back and start climbing the stalactites.

At a distance of four or five meters, if conditions permit, Si Shaoquan, who can do light work, can jump on it with one jump. However, in this harsh environment, it is not enough to do light work. He had to climb up slowly and carefully.

It would be nice to have gloves, which are uneasy but easy to grasp sharp stalactites and not hurt your hands. Si Shaoquan's hand was already bleeding.

It's just shocking. Is this treasure important to them? It's a game of death.

I suddenly thought of the meaning of the inscription on the stone door: "Those who are greedy do not enter, and if they enter, they will die".

Si Shaoquan climbed up, but to enter the cave, he had to lie on the stalactites and crawl in. The entrance of the cave can only allow one person to get into, and we watched Si Shaoquan climb into the hole.

"Come up, it's a big cave inside. Piled up with treasures. But it has grown into the stones. Si Shaoquan talked at the entrance of the cave and shouted excitedly.

Treasure grows into stone? The collector of the treasure is ancient? Grandpa said that stalactites take thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to form.

And its formation is a long process, is the water in the underground stone crevices under greater pressure, carbon dioxide gas solubility increases with the increase of pressure, carbon dioxide gas dissolves in water to form carbonic acid.

When such a solution flows through the underground limestone layer, it reacts with calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in water, the main component of limestone, to form calcium bicarbonate dissolved in water.

When the aqueous solution, which is dissolved in large quantities of calcium bicarbonate, flows into this empty cave, it is affected by the temperature. Calcium bicarbonate is decomposed to produce calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in water.

The caves where stalactites and stalagmites are produced are made of limestone. There were many cracks in the roof of the cave, and water droplets seeped out of each crack.

Whenever the water evaporates, some calcareous precipitate is left there. Over time, the limestone on the roof of the cave accumulates more and more, forming a paste-like sticky substance.

After that, a layer of limestone is wrapped around the viscous, and as the limestone is wrapped more and more, it hangs longer and longer, forming stalactites with a myriad of postures.

These treasures must have been put in before the stalactites were formed, and the limestone flowed onto the treasures, and then naturally wrapped them in the limestone, so it looked like they had grown inside.

I'm analyzing how the treasure grows into the stalactites. Si Shaoshan had also climbed into the cave.

"You go up first, take the rope and be careful." Si Shaomu handed me the rope.

I took the rope and prepared to climb up.
