309. Something that can't be changed
Cautiously crawling into the hole he had carved out, searchlight in one hand. After climbing in completely, the light shone on, and the surrounding scene was clear at a glance, the cave layer was very low, and he could only bend his waist, and in the direction above the stone gate, he did see the stone layer cracked.
As I expected, the stone gate made of platinum stone only reached that height, and then it was the rock layer. Immediately crawling forward, to the front, to the front, with the tools to chisel hard, lime pounced on the face, at this time I only had one thought: to chisel through it!
After nearly two hours of hard work, I finally broke through the rock, and after chiseling enough for me to drill into, I didn't continue to dig, but I couldn't get through my big backpack, so I had to remove everything, just put the three of them's immortal cards and candles, and everything could be lost, and these things must not be lost. So the bag can be squeezed and easily pulled in, but after thinking about it, I still brought an extra bottle of water and some dry food. I took a searchlight and shone around, judging from the distribution of the rocks, this should be a natural pit, which is a long-term limestone fall, which has hollowed out the middle layer.
I climbed a little bit through the crevices of the rock, found a spot, and began to dig down with my tools. I bet that Yinglong moved a palace to Kunlun Mountain, so the palace was wrapped in the mountain, and its periphery was covered with such rock formations. Even if the Dian Kingdom was rich and the platinum stone mines were abundant at that time, it would not be possible for the entire palace to be built with this kind of stone from the palace wall to the palace roof.
Ping Pong knocked for a long time, and when I was tired of knocking, I sat down to rest, drank saliva, and nibbled on biscuits to satisfy my hunger. When the rest is enough, continue to work, and so on several times, the dawn finally appeared. It's the real dawn, when a crack is chiseled, there is light underneath, not dazzling, but you can be sure that the space underneath is not pitch black. I dug harder and harder, from crack to hole, to pit big enough for someone to drill, and at last I could see what was underneath.
Sure enough, as I thought, this is a palace, and it is not splendid, but as far as the eye can see, there are antique carved railings and jade, but I don't know if the angle is limited, and I didn't see Sheng Shiyao. The distance from the ground is about six meters, which is equivalent to the height of a two-story building, and you can't fall to your death if you jump down, but you may break your leg. Taking a deep breath, I turned around and crawled out, now that we were all here, there was no need to act impulsively.
Turn back to the previous hole, turn over what was left outside the cave, find the rope and go back, tie the rope to a raised rock, and then lower the rope and go into the palace below. The first thing you do to land safely on a rope is to look around, your eyes sweeping over like radar, not missing an inch.
However, I didn't see Sheng Shiyao.
There was a peculiar aura in the space, and I just stood for a moment, my eyelids began to heavily, and I felt drowsy. pinched his thighs hard, and the pain woke him up, which was really a unique medium in this place, causing the five people outside to fall asleep and not wake up. If you come to it, you will be safe, soothe the slight loss in your heart, and always firmly believe that Sheng Shiyao is here.
In fact, when he thought about it, he was relieved, he had slept here for hundreds or even thousands of years, and it would be too dangerous to rush into this palace. Even if that stone gate is strong enough, I believe that there have been many people throughout the ages, and if I can think of a way to get in, others will too, so wouldn't it be too unsafe. So he must have slept peacefully in an absolutely safe place within this space.
This place is like an office in the palace, although there is no court, but there is a gorgeous chair on the main seat. When I looked at the whole situation, I felt that this chair was a little abrupt, because there were no tables and chairs around it, not even a footrest, so I stepped forward. I was very annoyed that I didn't learn more tricks from Sheng Shiyao in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't be stumped by these now, and I couldn't find the entry point when I touched all the chairs, so I had to overturn my judgment.
I also searched for suspicious locations all over the palace, including the murals on the wall, and I still remember the nine-square grid mechanism in the underground palace built by Zhuang Yu in Dian Island, if it is so complicated, I will not think about it. I knew that I should have asked for more and let Zhuang Yu come together, if he was there, these difficulties could be solved. But at that time, he was so anxious, where could he wait for Zhuang Yu to return from the sea, not to mention that although the trip to Kunlun Mountain was guided by Guiguzi, he still had doubts at that time.
I won't say much about all the antecedents, but in short, I am standing alone in this huge palace at the moment, helpless. knew that he was very close to Sheng Shiyao, but he just couldn't break through that barrier and find him. The fatigue of myself, coupled with the invasion of the lethargic medium of the space, made my eyelids so heavy that I couldn't open them, and I barely supported myself to go to the only chair and sit down to rest, but I was sleepy when I took one more step, and finally I fell down, fell in front of the chair, and fell into a deep sleep again.
I saw Sheng Shiyao, in a dream. As soon as the consciousness entered the fog, he knew that he had once again started the dream journey. There is no extra distance to travel, it is directly in a single house, the area is very small, the four walls shoot a soft white light, and the fog in the space is like a fairyland.
It was through the fog that I saw a white jade stone in the middle of the room, and Sheng Shiyao was lying on it in black with a peaceful face. I knew it was a dream, but I was so sour that I couldn't help myself, and I couldn't take a step closer to him. Illusion is true, affection is true, love is true, pain is also true, Sheng Shiyao, I finally, finally, found you.
However, when I opened my eyes, it was just a dream.
When he raised his hand to wipe his face, he was covered with wet marks and smiled self-deprecatingly. When I woke up, I felt that my limbs were sore, and I had no strength at all, so I got up from the ground and sat down on the chair, and just put my hands on the armrests on both sides, when suddenly the chair moved.
As I descended at a slow pace, I realized that I had indeed found the abruptness of the whole palace, and that the way to open the mechanism of this chair was to sit upright inside, with my hands on the armrests. The chair sank to a certain position and did not move, and I was now in the space of the lower floor of the palace. It is really very similar to the underground palace built by Zhuang Yu on Dian Island, and the walls of the same space are murals of various Dian cultures, and I didn't have the heart to study it, so I walked towards the stone door in front of me.
This stone door is different from what I have encountered before, it is covered with threads, and there is a very obvious circular groove in the middle, I looked at it again and again, took out the purple jade ring around my neck, and then gently pressed it in, it really fits, but the stone door does not move at all. I can't help but wonder, isn't this where the organ is? After thinking about it, if this was the mechanism that opened the stone door, then Sheng Shiyao no longer had a ring, how could he get in?
At this time, all my thoughts started from Sheng Shiyao being behind the stone gate, and I decided that it was the hut I saw in my dream. Soon I understood the role of the ring, it is like a scientific fingerprint reader, after putting the ring into the groove, after nearly a minute, the thread on the stone door began to rotate clockwise, from slow to fast, with the more turns of the circle, the stone door gradually opened, such as the fairy mist also floated out from the inside, the more I was sure that there was the hut behind.
When the stone door hole was opened enough for people to get into, he couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't wait to squeeze in sideways. However, what I didn't expect was that as soon as I entered half of my body, I stepped on the air with one foot, and I didn't even have time to react, and the person fell straight down.
I really didn't get Sheng Shiyao wrong, my impetuous problem has never changed, if I can be more careful and wait a little longer, it won't be the end I am now. There was a crunch thud beneath me, followed by my body sinking into an extremely cold liquid, water! The force of the fall knocked me out of the top, and almost immediately my blood coagulated. When I came out of the water, I realized that the mist was the cold of the water.
It's not like when the Divine Stone first entered the body, it was so hot that it could make the water boil, even the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice didn't make me cold, and now that people are immersed in ice water, the cold is penetrating to the bones. The cold tolerance in my constitution is no longer able to withstand this cold.
Or, there is also a thousand-year-old ice underneath this ice fountain.
The fog obscured my vision, and I was only about a foot away, so I couldn't look into the rest of the space. Gritting my teeth and swimming forward, I realized that the water was covered with a thin layer of ice, and I realized that the crunch of my fall was due to the sound of my body smashing the ice. There were no tools except for the bag on his back, and the digging and chiseling tools were originally in his hands, but they were lost during the fall.
I was faced with three choices: one was to swim back and dive underwater, find the digging tools, and chisel the ice; the second is not to go back, to knock with bare hands, or to use the shadow moon in his arms; The third is to stop smashing the ice, so dive into the ice water and swim forward.
The second and third choices are obviously unreliable. Especially in the third case, I can't hold my breath for too long without a diving device, and soon I will have to come out of the water to breathe, but I may suffocate because I can't break through the ice. Eventually, I turned back and dived under the water to find the digging tools, but fortunately the ice was not thick and it was not difficult to chisel, so I swam forward as I chiseled.
Human potential is infinitely expanded, and at the moment I first fell into the icy water, I felt that my limbs were stiff, but in the time that followed, I still relied on my stiff limbs to move forward. I roughly understand that I have fallen into an ice spring, and in an extremely cold place like Kunlun Mountain, it is common for there to be ice springs in the mountains. What is unusual is that why did I dream that Sheng Shiyao was lying in such a space before?
------------The rest is at the bottom, so don't miss it----------
