Soon after, there was a light ahead, a very faint light.

"Moon...... Moonlight? I rubbed my eyes and almost jumped up in excitement, "Come out?" Came out? ”

Picking up our pace, we quickly walked outside.

Outside is an open space.

It was night, and the soft moonlight was like a veil over the clearing, and by the moonlight we could see the grass and wildflowers on the slopes.

The clearing is surrounded by mountains, and there are several hanging springs cascading down the brown rock faces.

"No...... That's not right! "I was stunned for a moment, and I turned around and found that this place was all rock walls, and there was no way out.

This is...... Is this a sinkhole?

When I looked up at the sky, I saw a crater surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and it was huge, very big, the size of a football field.

This is a typical "karst funnel landform" sinkhole, I can see that the height of the bottom of the pit from the ground is about 30 stories high, and the pit wall is steep all around, and the whole is divided into two levels of terraces. Among them, the first-level platform closest to the ground is about more than 30 meters high, and we can barely climb up this distance, but the second-level platform is half the height of the first-level platform.

That distance is an insurmountable height for us.

"What should I do?" I paused for a moment, "It's okay now, I came out and went to the sinkhole, I can't go up!" ”

"Up?" Adu looked at me like another fool, "This is Longkou Cliff!" We've arrived. ”

"Longkou Cliff?" I listened to Adu's words and looked at the sinkhole, only to see that the edge of the cliff was uneven and pitted, so it looked a bit like teeth, thinking that if you look at it from a high place, it really looks like a dragon's head.

"It's close to the Sacred Tree." Wu Ming stretched out his finger to the sky and said, "Look! ”

Looking into the sky in the direction of Wu Ming's finger, I saw that on the side of the full moon, there was a huge black shadow, and from our low angle, it looked like a black telephone pole pillar.

"I'm Cao, so tall?" I was dumbfounded, "What's that?" ”

"It's the tree! How do you think I got the plane in the first place? Wu Ming retracted his gaze, "Don't look at it, come and check the firewood, the entrance of the sacred tree is on the wall of Longkou Cliff, I escaped from here at the beginning, and we can go in tomorrow when dawn." ”

I was shocked for a long time before I withdrew my gaze and followed the others in picking up the wooden branch on the ground.

At night, we lit a fire, our cold bodies gradually began to warm up, and our sleepiness rose with the temperature, and we didn't set up tents or chat, so we slept around the fire all night.

Under the sinkhole, there were dead trees and rotten wood, and there were many mosquitoes, so we didn't sleep well that night.

So when the first rays of sunlight hit my face the next morning, I woke up immediately.

After a sleep, the spirit is surprisingly good, look around, at this time this ancient sinkhole forest seems to come alive, under the long-lost sun rays, a piece of green trees, high mountains and strange stones, white clouds and smoke drifting between the valleys, bit by bit, very good-looking, the branches and vines on the rock wall dance with the wind, fluttering and moving, a flock of birds fluttering their wings in the morning sun, chirping so happy.

I glanced at the others on the ground, and instead of waking them up, I stretched out and walked out of the cave where I had been living the night.

To the right of the entrance of the cave is the mountain spring on the stone wall of the sinkhole, they are hanging down like a curtain, I picked up the water and washed my face, and took another sip, refreshing.

I really wanted to yell at it, Lao Tzu Hu Hansan is back again.

Soon the rest of the people also came to their senses one after another, they yawned, and silently packed their bags.

"Today we are going in, and everything inside is under my command." Wu Ming called me over and arranged it.

"What's in there?" I saw Wu Ming so cautious, and my heart also hung in the air.

"There are demons suppressed under the temple, and those demons will eat those who invade the temple." Adu said to me.

"Those two West African stones?" I was stunned for a moment, remembering the appearance of the temple in the mural, "But what is that?" ”

Who knew that Wu Ming shook his head at this time, "To be honest, I haven't seen it either, it was very smooth when I escaped from the temple with your grandfather, but when you think about it, when they came in, there were so many people, and he was the only one left, is this normal?" ”

As I listened, I knew that most of the time it was another death.

After half an hour of rest and washing, Hu Yinman was still wearing braids.

On the other side, I saw that Wu Ming was already looking for the entrance against the mountain wall at the bottom of the sinkhole.

Adu and I followed him, and it didn't take long for us to find him.

It was a crack in the mountain, the crack was deep, but the light from above was abundant enough that we didn't turn on the flashlight, just looked around and walked forward.

After an hour, we walked out of the crack, and finally the ancient miracle appeared before us.

A huge hollow valley.

In the middle of the valley was a huge tree, and it stood in the middle, and the trunk was the size of a mountain, and it had no branches, but a slick trunk, but its height was immeasurable, reaching up to the sky and piercing through the clouds.

And under the sacred tree, a temple made of bricks stands there, the temple is set in a square, without too much decoration, and in front of it stands a large stone tablet, which is carved with various lines. On either side of the stele are two large stones, and several red cords are tied to the stones, which are tied together and meet at the top of the temple and finally lead to the branches of the sacred tree.

Adu said that this is the basic rule of the Yi people to build temples in ancient times, and people placed two stones on both sides, and the stones mean yin and yang, that is, they represent all things in the world. Then the red thread on the stone will be staggered together, which represents the intersection of yin and yang, that is, the birth of all things, and then the red rope will be pulled all the way to the top of the sacred tree to show the aura of heaven and earth.

Where the crack leads to the temple, there is a stone path, and we quickly walk along the stone path to the front of the temple.

Looking closely, Adu knelt down with Wu Ming's support, and kowtowed heavily towards the huge sacred tree, the already ancient temple.

I took a deep breath and thought to myself that I had finally found this place, I really didn't expect it...... I never imagined that there would be such a miracle in the world, and I couldn't imagine what ancient tree species it left behind.

"Whoa, whoa." Adu's head slammed down, and a voice came from the cold and dead valley.

The strange sound broke my thoughts, and I withdrew my gaze and looked around.

"What sound?" Hu Yinman looked at me.

All four shook their heads at the same time.

"Whoa, whoa."

The sound continued, and I gradually heard that it seemed to be the sound of a chain.

"Is it West African stone?" I looked at those two huge stones and thought to myself, could they not be so evil?

Adu shook his head: "No, it's not the sound coming from under the West African stone. ”

I muttered, "That's surprising, why don't we split up and look for it?" ”

"No, we can't separate." Wu Ming's voice was resolute, and he was crouching under the huge stone tablet in the middle of the temple at this time, moving something with his hand.

"What did you find?" In a hurry, Hu Yinman's voice came, I looked at her, and she was looking at Wu Ming.

"There's something strange about this stele, and the sound comes from here."

Stele? I was stunned for a moment, looking at the quaint stone tablet.

It is boxy, the base is a lotus body, there is nothing on the tablet, only many black dots, these dots are not evenly distributed, scattered in all directions, there are no rules at all, I can't see a reason, but counted, a total of 18.

"It's the eighteen-month solar calendar of the Yi people." Hu Yinman, who was standing on the side of the stone stele, said.

"Eighteen-month solar calendar?" I asked Hu Yinman, what was that?

Hu Yinman shook his head, "Let's talk about it later." After that, he kept staring at the bottom of the stele.

I walked over and saw a ravine-like mark underneath the stone tablet. And after Wu Ming gently flicked away the soil layer around him with his hand, a bronze chain slowly appeared in front of my eyes.

"The sound is coming from here." Wu Ming said.

As he spoke, something strange happened, and the chain actually shrank towards the ground at an incredible speed, as if it were alive.

"! What is this? Adu retracted his hand and watched as the chain moved inch by inch, and in a few seconds the chain disappeared into the ravine.

There was no trace of it.

"Stand back, stand back." Wu Ming shouted.

Then the ground around the stele cracked in vain, and in a matter of seconds, the stele sank and a deep cavern emerged.
