Thirty-three, the cave underground palace (seven watches)
After discussing for a while, we still decided to go down first, because we always believed that the waterfalls that reached the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang from the end of the Yin Sea were the Dragon Gate, and the Dragon Hall was in the ancient tomb, and there were still some secrets in it.
Walking down, the scenery of the mountain is changing little by little, in the narrow gap and the intersection of the stones, a kind of white jade rod, curly or bean sprout-like calcite crystals are all over the place, the color of the stone is soft like a small flower, but it is a stone, I was a little stunned for a while, because I knew that this thing was not like stalactites formed by water droplets, but shimmered under the light of the flashlight, like crystal.
"This is a natural karst cave, and the cave leads directly to the underground, which is the best place to access the underground spiritual veins." Kadoshi said.
It is true that this is an all-natural, cave, without a trace of artificiality. After reaching the vertical distance of more than ten meters below, I saw that under the plank road I had walked before, there was actually a thin wall of stone flowers lying horizontally, I stood on tiptoe with a flashlight, looking at the semi-circular thin wall like a rainbow, I couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature.
"How long will it take us to go this way?"
"It won't be long, there's no way." Hu Yinman looked at the stalagmites that fell from the sky in front of him and blocked the way in front of the plank road.
This hellish place is really. I turned around with my flashlight.
"There." Pointing to the wall on the opposite side of the boardwalk, there was a huge platform, which was tilted and connected to the plank road in circles and circles. It looks like we're going to go over, and we have to go on this platform.
"It's a little dangerous."
"There's a fart, so you can't go back." Menkoshibin was the first to step over the handrail and crawl over.
We spent a while running over the platform, and finally found that the place we arrived at was directly opposite the waterfall, and at this time countless splashes of water were like raindrops on us, and I moved a few steps forward, and found that the platform here was a cross-section of the rock, and there were traces of a large part of the artificial excavation.
There is also a gravel road on the platform that has been smoothed by the current. As we walked along the stone path, we noticed that the soles of our feet were slipping more and more. Water stains have polished the surface of the place like an ice skating rink.
"There is too much water vapor here, and it is impossible to build a dungeon." I touched a handful of water from my face.
"It's hard to say. There are traces of artificial plank roads here, otherwise why do you think they would be working here? ”
"Maybe it's just for the sake of building the Dragon Hall."
"Don't say it, let's go down." Men Yuebin is also not sure of the situation here, it stands to reason that it is impossible to build a dungeon in such a place with such heavy water vapor, not to mention that the funeral goods inside are not easy to preserve, and it has a considerable impact on the coffin.
We nodded and continued on our way. The caves here are extremely deep, and the mist is so misty that they are gray in the light.
Not far ahead, I saw several hat-shaped stalactites growing on the platform stones of the road, they were all on the right edge of the platform, which was exactly the farthest that the water of the waterfall could reach, and there were many traces of water dripping down above the darkness, and the rows of stalactites were like the iron pillars of the prison cell. And there is a gap in the middle of those stalactites, and beyond the gap is the wooden floor of the plank road.
I stood behind the door and looked at the stalactites that were 9 or 10 meters high, and I couldn't help but sigh at the miracle of nature, they have different shapes, mainly due to the superposition of the cap-like layer, the heightening, the cracks seepage dripping water along the toothed brim brim, and the gourd-shaped, beaded, melon-bean-shaped stalactites condensed at the lower end of each tooth.
"Damn, if I die in it, I'm going to be laughed off by my peers."
"Yes, the first grave robber to slip and fall to his death." Hu Yinman giggled.
I grabbed the stalactites and looked down, and found that the cave was still deep, where did the water go? And one more thing, when I look at the seemingly unstoppable plank road, I don't realize where these things are going to be built. If there is an underground river below, then this plank road also leads to an underground river? Too much? Now that the moisture was getting heavier and my clothes were soaking wet, I climbed over the handrail again and walked up the boardwalk only to find that the wooden floors had begun to rot, and there was a hole under my feet.
"Damn, Haiduhou is really, how can he run here to build things when he is full." He touched the water at the door, this guy had no hair, it was originally a sweet potato head, and the water hit his smooth head and splashed again, like a fountain.
"It seems that this is just the Dragon Hall, a place to worship dragon bones and worship the dragon god." Now even Hu Yinman is beginning to doubt this place.
I don't know how many meters I walked underneath, there are more and more platforms like before, and the space below is getting bigger and bigger, the whole looks like it's going to the center of the earth, now I'm in a place that is far away from the waterfall, and at the same time the moisture of the water vapor has decreased a lot, the ground here is even a little dry, and the temperature is obviously a little higher.
At this time, the top of my head is scattered with stalagmites, these stalagmites and stalactites are relatively coexistent, and the huge water vapor condenses on the stalactites and then drips onto the stalagmites, forming colorful stripes of water structure, beautiful like tassels.
"Do you think there will be a way out of this place?" I couldn't help but ask.
"There's a fart! Do you have your brain upside down? Hu Yinman looked at me and said.
"Then how can there be a bridge down there?" When I looked down, I didn't see the spiraling tunnel, but a stone bridge spanning more than 30 meters, the stone bridge was built with natural boulders on the platform, both ends were on the stone rocks, and there were speckled black shadows on the bridge, but I couldn't see it at all because it was too far away.
However, it seems that so many platforms on it were manually dug by the ancients in order to build this stone bridge.
"I can't see clearly."
"Huh." Hu Yinman took out the beads at this time.
The light shone downward, and soon shone at the intersection of darkness and water, and then fell little by little, eating away at every piece that had been in the dark. At this time, I saw that there was already water under the bridge, and the waterfall flowing down from the mountains filled the cave, and finally formed a huge deep pool below, I don't know when the water will rise, but looking at the height of the bridge, I think there should be a few drainage outlets below, or an underground river, this place is already hundreds of meters above the ground, and the density of the river is beyond my imagination I raised my head, there is a small hole every few meters, there is a place that cannot be reached by manpower, But there was still a stream of water slowly spilling out of it.
"That's right, that's it." Hu Yinman pointed below and shouted.
"Hurry, hurry." Menyue Bin was a little impatient.
But between the words, I suddenly heard the sound of the whole mountain in the darkness, and as we went down, the louder the sound became, I was still wondering if it was the sound of bats, but I found that there are only a few places in this place where bats can hang upside down, I don't know where this sound comes from, but there are just a lot of horrors in my heart, after all, the depths of the darkness are unknown, let alone this kind of place.
At this time, I was in the middle of the plank road at a high point I saw a karst cave with a diameter of about 4 meters at close range, the inside of the karst cave seems to be a river channel, the river has dried up and there is no water flow, in the middle of the stone there are dripping water, flowing water, infiltrating water and other sedimentary types of water flow, but in the dark I can still hear a little turbulent water sound, it should be the reason for the diversion of the water flow, but I believe that the diversion of the water flow will eventually fall in the deep pool below, I want to look at this karst cave channel full of sediment.
Cave sediments are densely distributed, complete in type, and abundant in quantity. There are also many stone flags and stone shields on the shore, which are typical representatives of cave sediments for thousands of years.
We came to the bridge along the plank road, the bridge has a little arc, I was in a lower position in this place to see a few blurry black shadows on the opposite side, I don't know what it is, but the style of this bridge is a girder-type ancient bridge, the ancient bridge is not very long, so there are only two piers, the piers are not under the deep pool, but together with the granite pillars of each hole, "inserted" in the rocks on both sides, the top of the bridge is a stone block built into a curved arch as the bridge body, although the inclination is relatively large, but the ground is flatHowever, the middle of this stone bridge is not used by people, but is protected by stone railings, and it is the sides of it that can really walk.
The three of them glanced at each other and walked up slowly, and found that the black shadows I saw above were actually a group of stone carvings, they were bending down with stone plaques, the water of the deep pool and the water of the waterfall collided fiercely and splashed on the bridge, like a bridge in the Milky Way in the sky, and those people were like immortals, with a calm demeanor and a light body. But just as I was looking at it, I suddenly saw a small temple in front of the stone carver of the bridge.
"Found it." I strolled up the stone bridge.
At the end of the line of sight, there is a "Lei" type template temple, the temple is not big, it can be said to be small and pitiful, but it is a flying eaves pavilion with everything. The temple sits across the top of the stone bridge, and in front and behind it are kneeling stone figures. At the same time, I also saw two spirit turtles standing on both sides of the temple entrance, the body of the turtle was about the size of a fist, because it stood in the water of the river, so it was smooth and shiny, and the body shimmered with the brilliance of jade.
But I was surprised that there was a coffin in the interior of this mini-temple.
The coffin was strangely shaped and transparent, and inside lay a richly dressed corpse in both hands.
