Chapter 25: The Cave of Babel
Left and right, the fat man and I walked into the hole, this hole is nearly 100 meters away from the top, there is a circular hole chiseled at the highest point, the hole seems to be sealed for a long time, under the long geological action, the large and small round boulders have been formed, and these boulders are stacked layer upon layer, scattered on the ground on one side, under these strange stones, there are dense pores that contradict each other, the shapes are different, vivid, big, small, semicircular, perfectly round, endless, varied.

I remember that Zheng Banqiao once commented on the Yishan Hole "all shapes must be pretty, the mountain is like a whole egg, the size is hundreds of millions, the stone pile is a miracle, the exquisite and exquisite stone", and the Tongtian Cave we came to is not worse than the Yishan Hole, the cave wall is carved out of a winding path, the path is engraved in the Northern Qi Dynasty Wuping period of the cliff stone carving "Manjushri Prajna Sutra", simple and solemn and graceful.
The fat man and I stared blankly at everything in the hole, which was the Babel Cave, the last burial chamber, where the sacrifices were located. According to the ancient scrolls in the bronze lamp of the wild goose, the hole in the cave wall will constantly change light and shadow at a certain time of the day, opening a road to heaven for mortals, and its popular meaning is actually that if someone comes to this Tongtian cave, at a certain time, the hole will point out the location of the sacrifice and the way out alive through changes.
We understand the record on the bronze lamp of the goose fish, but we don't know this critical point in time, and it can be said that we didn't find any clues.
"Right, what are we going to do here?" I looked left and right standing straight on the side motionless, and asked uneasily.
"We're waiting," he replied.
"Wait? What are you waiting for? I asked in surprise, thinking that I didn't know the time, what were I waiting for?
Left and right took out the pocket watch that he had picked up in the backpack at the entrance of the cave from his coat pocket, and time slipped away by the second. My head kept running, and I still didn't know what I was thinking or waiting for.
"Left, what are you waiting for" The fat man was anxious, probably impatient, and turned his head to the left and right to ask.
I saw that I looked up left and right to observe the surrounding rock walls, and after a long time, I paid attention to the fat man, and said, "Before we entered the cave, someone said that it was time, so, I, waiting" I and the fat man listened to the left and right word by word, still confused, "What told us, who?" I asked.
"Time" is a concise answer.
"Huh?" The fat man was also surprised, "When did you say it, why didn't I hear it?"
"1-4-5-3-2-6, it's almost there," he said, and continued to stare at the pocket watch hand turning in his hand.
"What, you say it's time?" I remembered that we had seen this string of numbers in the mezzanine of the burial chamber that was moving at the time, and there were some ticks and crosses next to it, and damn it, I suddenly reacted, if I said that, maybe it wasn't a cross-tick graffiti drawn next to it, but the hour, minute, and second hands of the clock, and 1-4-5-3-2-6 refers to 14:53:26 in the 24-hour format.
I looked at the fat man in amazement, damn, if everything we see is correct, not an illusion, if this tomb is really from the hand of Yuan Buyi, I dare not imagine what I encountered in the tomb, I can hardly guess the degree of Yuan Buzhi's meticulous mind and the thoroughness of the planning of things, the net of fate he laid a thousand years ago trapped us tightly in it, step by step, we are all starting according to the way he originally planned, experiencing, and ending.
I saw that I was still looking around, so I walked up to him and whispered, "What are you still looking at?" for fear of accidentally interrupting my train of thought.
"Road", since I came to this Tongtian Cave, I found that there are fewer and fewer words left and right, and I have been sweating profusely, my fists are clenched tightly, and the green tendons on my neck are tensed, although I don't know what he is nervous about, but I know that as long as the left and right are nervous, things will become troublesome.
The fat man and I on the side didn't hear what I said, and we wandered back and forth, touching here and there, waiting for that time to come.
20ć»ć»21ć»ć»22ć»ć»23ć»ć»24ć»ć»25, the time passed by minute by minute, 26, as the second hand moved for the last time, the hole in the entire burial chamber shook again, and the position and shape kept changing, when suddenly a beam of light shone from the circular hole in the top of the cave, and the light continued to reflect and refract along the transparent stone in the hole, and finally fell on me, to be precise, where I was standing at the moment.
I suddenly felt a burning sensation in my skin, and shouted to the side to let me get out of the way, I quickly stepped aside, only to see that the open space I was standing on was constantly sinking, "Coming, coming" I saw that the left and right muttered to myself, and then quickly ran to my side and knocked me down, at this time, the walls around the entire Tongtian Cave began to crack, I shouted fat, the fat man turned his head and saw the two of us lying down, thinking that the big thing was not good, and immediately followed down, only to see countless sharp arrows shot out of the hole, A large amount of corrosive liquid was sprayed from the cracks, and we hid behind a large rock next to the sunken ground, not daring to move, and for a while we didn't know how to respond.
The depression in the ground is getting deeper and deeper, left and right regardless of the sharp arrows, dodging back and forth, running to the depression and putting a hand into it, I just wanted to open my mouth to stop the left and right, only to see that the left and right have already put the whole arm in, at this time, a human-faced ghost ran in from the hole, crazy to the left and right, I saw that the big thing was not good, snatched the fat man's gun and shot directly at the head of the human-faced ghost, the human-faced ghost suddenly changed direction, rushed towards me and the fat man behind the stone, I slapped the fat man hard, "Mom, fat, no." , the ghost is coming."
Before the fat man could react, he directly kicked the back of the neck by the human-faced ghost, "I'll go to your grandma's, why are you here again" The fat man's eyes were red when he was kicked at the moment, and he rushed towards the human-faced ghost with a bang.
"Left and right, arrows, be careful" left and right grinding over there without stretching out his hand, I really can't see it, dodging the sharp arrows back and forth and rushing towards the depression.
"It's stuck, I can't take it out," he said loudly left and right.
"What then?" I didn't know what to do for a while, so I was in a hurry.
As soon as I was in a hurry, I was impulsive, and I directly put my hand into the depression to help pull out left and right, "Fuck, ants, all are ants" I saw that the ground I was lying on kept crawling out of the ant, the ant's butt was still gathering in front of my face, I didn't dare to raise my head, the arrows on the rock wall were still shooting outward, at this time, a large colony of black pressure ants had gathered under my eyelids, and these ants crawled forward, while constantly secreting fluid from the glands at the end of the abdomen and legs, The tentacles collide with each other to discern the direction.
"Pull quickly, pull quickly", I saw countless ants in front of my eyes ready to move, hurriedly urged left and right, we both tried to lift up, at this time the arrows in the wall no longer shoot, I quickly adjusted my posture, squatting next to me, only to see the ground cracked bigger and bigger, the ground on the soles of the left and right feet has begun to crack, the crack has extended to the wall on the right, I am still looking down and pulling, only to hear the left and right "ah" sound fell under the ground, the soil with the big cave wall continues to flow to the waist of the left and right, "Fatty, fat, come and help me." "I was holding on to something under the ground with one hand and my left and right arms with the other, and I couldn't hold on.
I saw the left and right hands pulling things loose and pulled out, both hands supported the ground and kicked up, the upper body of the whole person has been lying on the ground and twisted, and finally pulled out a leg with difficulty, and then continued to lean over to pull the things under the ground, my hand moved, as if I felt some hard tentacles and narrow body, I and the left and right put their hands into the hole in the middle, and finally took out the strength to eat, pulled up hard, only to hear a loud "bang", we finally pulled the underground things out, and this is the thingLater, it became a means for us to save our lives and negotiate, but we didn't know that everything we did at this time was expected by "it".
