Chapter 19: The Entrance to the Cave
The monkey saw that I had a surprised expression on my face when I heard Lao Zhao mention the ghost sacrifice, so he asked Lao Zhao: "I said Lao Zhao, what is this ghost sacrifice, why did Lao Yang become so nervous when he heard you mention it!" ”
Lao Zhao saw that the monkey didn't know the powerful relationship, so he briefly introduced the ghost sacrifice to the monkey: "This ghost sacrifice is to cut off people's heads to sacrifice demons and evil spirits, and use their heads to guard the evil spirits day and night, so these heads don't talk about touching them, even the sound of our speech is likely to wake up the evil spirits, if the evil spirits are awakened, it is possible that you will die without a place to be buried!" ”
The monkey was a little unconvinced when he heard Lao Zhao say it so strictly, and said with a smile: "It's not so strict, I think these are all made by the ancients to scare people in order to play tricks!" ”。
Lao Zhao saw that the monkey didn't care, so he continued: "Don't underestimate these heads, they are all arranged according to the formation of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements theory is the core of traditional Chinese culture, that all things in the universe are composed of the operation and circulation of the five basic elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, so only the five elements of the formation can suppress the evil spirit, once any element of the five elements is destroyed, it will affect the entire formation, and the consequences are unimaginable." ”
After hearing this, the monkey continued: "That black brother still has a human head tied to his waist, and this evil spirit has not been awakened?" Lao Zhao shook his head and said: "It's not easy to say this, anyway, let's not touch those heads!" ”
Although the monkey still didn't believe it after hearing it, he didn't say anything more, although I knew the origin of the ghost sacrifice, but I heard Lao Zhao say that it was amazing, so naturally I didn't believe it, but when I thought that we had already passed through the human head area, and what did we care about the ghost sacrifice, I didn't ask much. Lao Zhao continued: "The faces of those heads are all facing forward, so if we continue to walk forward, we will definitely find something." ”
So we continued to walk forward, Lao Zhao walked in front with a torch, Kuroko followed closely behind, and the monkey and I walked and looked at the surroundings.
The stone wall above us was no longer a flat patch, but a number of large and irregular stalactites appeared, and under the light of the torches, the stalactites appeared so brilliant and crystal clear that the monkey and I were dumbfounded.
We walked for less than half an hour, and Lao Zhao and Heizi stopped in front, and the monkey and I walked up to take a look, and it turned out that there was no way. We saw a pile of rocks in front of us, and we don't know where so many stones came from, and at the end of the pile of rocks was a stone wall, and at first glance it seemed that there was no way to go on.
A few of us split up and wandered around the rubble, hoping that we would find anything. At this moment, I only heard Kuroko shouting, "Hey, come here!" "When I looked back, I saw Kuroko standing on a pile of rocks, and we immediately walked over.
When Kuroko saw that we were all coming, he said, "Listen! After speaking, he picked up a stone and threw it into the crack of the stone, only to hear the sound of several consecutive stone collisions coming from the gap, and after five or six collisions, the sound disappeared, and after about five seconds, a faint collision was heard.
"Damn, is this empty down here?" , The monkey said in surprise on the side, and after speaking, he picked up a stone and threw it into the gap, and the sound coming out of the crack was almost exactly the same as just now.
I picked up my flashlight and shone it into the gap, only to see that there was a stone blocking it, so I couldn't see the depths. "Hmph, Lao Tzu blew him up with explosives!" I only heard the sunspot say that it should be blown up with explosives, and as soon as I heard it, I felt that this method was too reckless, if the explosion was too strong, and the stones that flew out smashed the stalactites above our heads, not to mention whether it would hit ourselves, if the huge stalactites were piled up on the cracks, then we would not be busy in vain.
So I told Kuroko my thoughts, and Kuroko smiled when he heard it, and then said: "Brother Yang doesn't trust my blasting technology, don't worry, I have my own weight in the amount of gunpowder, let alone blowing up these broken stones, it is not difficult for me to blow up a few millimeters of patterns on the stone wall!" ”
I didn't stop him when I heard Kuroko say it so easily, and besides, he was already a veteran tomb robber, and it would probably be a piece of cake for him to blow up the door with explosives.
Then Kuroko began to take out the gunpowder from his bag, he first went to get some wet mud to paste the gap under the stone, and then piled some mud into it, so that the gap was only a small hole the size of a fist, and then grabbed the gunpowder with his hands, and put the gunpowder into the small hole one by one, and after Kuroko grabbed six handfuls of gunpowder, he grabbed some more with three fingers and put it in, and then buried one end of a two-meter-long lead wire into the hole with mud.
The whole process takes less than two minutes, which can be described as a single go, and it is indeed not possible for ordinary people to pre-bury an explosive device in such a short time, but I don't know what the effect of the explosion will be.
Then Kuroko told us all to stay away, and he lit the fire. As soon as the monkey and I heard that the fire was ignited, we ran out two hundred meters away in one breath, and squatted behind a stone to plug our ears, while Lao Zhao only took a few steps back and waited for the sunspot in place.
After the sunspot lit the fire, he and Lao Zhao went back and exited more than ten meters away, and the monkey and I saw that the two of them were so close to the explosion point, and we were really worried about them.
The lead burned very slowly, and after waiting for about a minute, I finally heard a slight rumbling sound, I looked at each other with the monkey, and I didn't believe that the slight rumbling sound just now was the sound of the explosion, I looked at Lao Zhao and Heizi in front of me, and saw that the two of them had returned to the place of the explosion, so we got up and rushed to the front.
We walked in and saw that a cone-shaped hole was really blown out of the pile of rocks, the hole was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the upper mouth was about three meters wide, and the lower mouth was only more than one meter wide.
At this time, I admired the sunspot a little more, and it was possible to blow up this hole without destroying the surrounding environment, and the amount of gunpowder needed to be just right, and there were indeed two hits.
