Ninety-two, the sun underground
"Wait, light, that's the sun?"
In the strong light, I could see the trees around me as if they were clustered with peaks. Came out? No, looking at the line of sight, there are earthy yellow geological formations on both sides here, and I'm still underground?
"That's not the sun!" Hu Yinman said: "When I came in from the outside, I realized that we were all wrong. ”
I was relieved of our situation, and it turned out that we were still deep underground, and that what was hanging over our heads was just a glowing unidentified object.
"But why is there the light of the sun?" I took a deep breath and calmed down my mind, and I could clearly feel the temperature of the sun. Cover your eyes with your hands and look up at that thing, if it's not the sun? Is it difficult or incandescent lamp? It seems unrealistic to think about it for a while.
"Nothing unacceptable." Hu Yinman said: "When I first saw it, I thought it was a flare! ”
I stared at the glowing thing, but after more than ten seconds it was still hanging high above the sky-like cave with no sign of falling.
Nor are flares. Fearful thoughts began to slowly begin to appear in my mind, it was so incredible that I began to wonder if this was my dream.
I pinched my thigh, and the pain made me tremble. This is not a dream, I stand at the entrance and exit of the cave, looking around, without the help of the light of the flashlight, I can see the underground scene more clearly at this time.
In the light-filled area, a ray of sky was not far behind me, and I was dragged here by the flower panda in the process of dying, and this is the land completely filled with sand and humus, on which grow tall and straight cold mountain forests and arbors and rhododendrons of various shapes, under the trees grow dense green arrows, and the thick moss on the ground tightly wraps the large and small shimmering stones, forming countless round green balls.
Arbor rhododendron? And the cold mountain forest? How could there be such a plant underground?
"There's a whole ecosystem here, and it's raining." Hu Yinman was also a little confused, "I've also been guessing what that luminous body is, whether it's alive or dead." ”
"Maybe it's really the sun, otherwise we can see how these plants grow, and the closer we get to the light, the more lush the vegetation becomes, from the fossil forest at the beginning, to this jungle." It occurred to me that it was really the sun, it was crazy, there was actually a sun in the depths of the earth, and I had heard it said that the earth's mantle had not changed for billions of years, so it was very likely to be a place to sustain long-term life and live steadily.
In the hollow earth theory, some people believe that the earth is not solid, but is made up of multiple hollow spheres. In the space between each sphere, there is actually an environment similar to our earth, where the vegetation is dense and the climate is pleasant.
"You think this is Inner Earth?" Hu Yinman guessed my thoughts, she shook her head, "No! The distance we were dragged down by the roots of the tree, do you think we can pass directly through the earth's crust and lithosphere? ”
"That's right!" I patted my head.
"I think we'd better go first! In any case, we have to find the ancient city first, and as long as the ancient city exists, it means that we are not in the wrong place. ”
I nodded, agreeing with her thoughts, looking at the cave behind me, I was still a little scared of the scene just now, if another flower panda ran out of the forest later, it would really be a tragedy.
After a little adjustment, I walked towards the depths of the forest with Hu Yinman, because I felt the same as her, vaguely feeling that the ancient city of Yelang was in this place, as long as we walked towards the place where the sun was.
After all, this place has a pleasant ecology, rain, and sun, which is much stronger than the underground of Heizhugou in Sichuan, so it is not impossible for the ancient Yelang people to build an ancient city here. However, during the walk, I found that at this time, Hu Yinman and I were not the only ones yearning for the sunshine. At the same time, a group of monkeys jumped down from the trees in the forest, and they didn't seem to care much about me as a stranger, just playing in the place.
And just a little more look at the "monkeys" group, at that moment almost all the monkeys were looking at me with their teeth bared, it is estimated that they have not seen other species appear in this underground forest for thousands of years, cheering and calling a large group of monkeys hanging from the trees to stare at us.
"Get out!" I shouted at the monkeys.
The monkeys screamed and threw the fruit at me, and I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, thinking to myself, damn it, we were treated like animals.
Hu Yinman stabbed me with his elbow and told me not to make trouble, so I could only keep my head down and continue to walk forward.
After walking for a short time, Hu Yinman soon stopped.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
She pouted ahead, and when I looked up, I saw a huge tree not far ahead, not very tall, but with a very large branch and a crown like an umbrella, and it was strong and verdant. And the main body of its trunk is as thick as eight or nine adult men hugging each other, and the roots of the tree are coiled on the ground like a dragon into the ground, and its area is the size of half a basketball court.
"Such a big tree?" I instinctively thought of the sacred tree.
"Let's take a look!"
We strode forward and entered the range of the tree, and the light began to gradually drain, and the dense leaves that obscured the sky and the sun completely blocked out the light of the "sun" overhead. At the same time, a faint aroma like essential oil lasts for a long time. Standing beyond the roots of the tree, the contrast between man and tree begins to become extremely obvious, as if we have entered the kingdom of giants.
"Here!" Hu Yinman found a tree root, and we climbed up the huge root, and it didn't take long to climb in front of the tree.
"Be careful." Seeing Hu Yinman crawling fast with his hands and feet, I couldn't help but persuade, under my feet are rattan woven like cage-like roots, and in front of me is a majestic and upright giant tree, standing at the bottom of the tree, looking up, only to see trees growing on the tree, dead trees giving birth to new branches. The old tree is like an empty shell and a stump, but the new tree is like a rainbow.
"It's probably a red juniper." Hu Yinman walked forward, but at this time, a sudden change occurred.
As she spoke, she looked up completely, not paying attention to her feet at all, no, the whole person stepped on the air, only to find that these tree roots were staggered on the ground, but they were not firm, and suddenly a hole was stepped out, and it was about to fall.
Fortunately, I quickly stepped forward to hug her, and she was also bluffed by this sudden blow at this time, and her hands instinctively grabbed me and screamed.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting." I glanced at her feet, and suddenly I saw that it was not a hollow in the roots, but a stone staircase exposed.
"Help, help." She kept screaming, just feeling that her feet were hanging in the air and she didn't feel safe.
The unique screams of women sounded in the jungle, and I instinctively covered her mouth, who knows, this time it seemed to be a joint reaction, she actually leaned towards me and hugged me tightly.
The waist that I grasped, the plump breasts, and the fragrant snort all stuck to my body at once, and it was really bumpy and soft.
I was stunned for a moment, then looked up and looked back from the ground, only to realize that she had been looking at me.
At this time, Hu Yinman, with a pink goose egg face, a pair of big eyes as bright as a morning star, with long eyelashes, puffed and fanned.
"Ahem! There seems to be a passage down there! I put Hu Yinman down, adjusted my pants, and walked in with a flashlight first.
But after walking for a long time, I found that Hu Yinman did not follow, I scratched my head, and reluctantly turned back, and found that the little girl fell asleep on the root of the tree because of excessive fright.
