Finale (I) Chapter 33: The Truth of the Mountain

The ghost man didn't even have a big torch, so he led us out of the cave, and we walked up the huge rock.

The fat man put on his clothes, his neckline was full of mud, he was tired of scolding, and several times he gestured to me and asked me if I wanted to subdue him. I shook my head, the agility of this ghost's walk, and the kind of bearing that kept his distance from us, gave me a very strong feeling that even if he was like this, he must be above us.

Just imagine, this person has been in the mountains for so long and has not gone out, obviously he is very vigilant about everything in the world, it is impossible to let go of all vigilance when he sees an old friend, don't look at him walking lightly, the vigilance in his heart must be very high, and the fat man wants to make it difficult, I don't think the probability of success is high.

I couldn't have said this to the fat man, so I had to ignore him and tell him what had happened. The fat man said: "Fuck, fat man, I'm tied up very tightly, how did he break free?" I can't imagine that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Is your face okay? ”

"Maybe he had a knife on him," I said, "and it was a mistake that we didn't do a search, and the time was too short." ”

"It's a shrinking bone." The ghost man turned around and said, he was far away from us, but he obviously heard it clearly, "Wu Sanxing, you won't even know this. ”

My heart moved, knowing that I couldn't talk nonsense anymore, and immediately stiffened my mouth: "No, I'm on guard, not shrinking my bones." ”

He didn't say anything more, so I made a color with the fat man not to say anything privately.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a hole in the mountain rock appeared, and when we walked into the hole, we saw that the hole was full of clay pots, and the ghost man picked up a branch from the side and stretched it out into one of the clay pots. Then ignite. He scooped out a basin of water from the jar on the other side and threw it on the wall.

I probably knew what he wanted to do, and I immediately came to help. Soon the water seeped into the rocks.

The lit branches leaned against the wall of the rock, and we immediately found the whole rock. It's all strange shadows.

When the entire rock wall is immersed in water, it presents a translucent texture, as if it were jade.

"These are the people in the stone." The fat man said, "Fuck, that's a lot, if you let it out, you'll have to do it." ”

"Do you know how many of these things are in this stone? Do you know where these things really come from? The ghost man asked the fat man.

The fat man shook his head, "Isn't this thing the mountain god of the mountains?" ”

The ghost man shook his head and looked at me, and I didn't show if I knew. Just touching the rock wall and making a thoughtful appearance.

"This starts with how this demon building was built, when we did archaeological research on this building, we made several speculations." He said, "We believe that there are a large number of underground karst caves in this area of Guangxi, and it is likely that Zhangjia Gulou used one of the karst cave systems to develop a dark cave in the entire underground mountain range." But then we carried out various explorations of the mountains here, and we found that the dark cave system here is too complex, and the scale of the construction of the style and thunder drawings requires too much manpower and material resources. It was possible to build such a huge building in the cave. ”

I said in my heart that he was right, he was a member of the archaeological team, and it seems that my speculation is not far from ten.

At first they thought it really wasn't going to work. This is just a group tomb of the drum tower of a prominent family of the Zhang family, not the emperor, the Zhang family is on the side of Guangxi, not to mention the problem of financial resources, because this kind of tomb robbing family, it is really difficult to estimate how much money there is, this is a convenient problem. As long as you are not an emperor, it is very difficult to secretly carry out such a great project in that kind of worldly way.

But after they explored in the mountains. They found a problem that surprised them, the vegetation on the mountains they had here. Very strange.

In particular, the vegetation around Giethoorn is different from that in other places. Especially the types of trees, the trees in that place, are all very good timber materials.

When I heard this, I sighed in my heart, and I realized what he meant, and I said, "I heard that there was a fire near Sheephorn Mountain during the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Yes." The ghost man said coldly, "This is what they planned. ”

The ancestors of the Zhangjia Gulou, as early as the Ming Dynasty, had planned that the Zhang family would be moved to this mountain, so they burned the mountains and forests here in the Ming Dynasty and planted wood that could be used hundreds of years later.

What kind of spirit is this, and what kind of terrible family is it to carry out a hundred-year plan.

"After the wood is planted, it grows over hundreds of years and grows in the whole mountain near Giethoorn, and when the craftsmen come in and take the local material, you will find that there are a lot of shrubs here, because they cut the trees very carefully, evenly from tree to tree."

But even if all the quantities could be taken locally, it would be almost impossible to transport them into the underground caves.

Because this kind of large construction requires a whole wooden beam, it is impossible for this huge wood to pass through such a thin karst cave, and the best way is of course to use an underground river, so that if you throw the wood into the water, it can flow into the cave. But such conditions are hard to come by, and they look for underground water systems everywhere here, and the terrain here is too high, belonging to the highest part of the entire Guangxi Mountains, and they can't find underground rivers at all.

"You never think of how the Zhang family transported this timber." "Just below this rock," said the ghost, "there is a deep vertical hole that leads almost vertically from the top to the bottom. ”

"Cave stealing skills." I said.

The ghost man nodded, "Hell." The question is, how did this hole be dug, even if there were a lot of people, it would have taken many, many years to dig such a hole in those days.

All the timber was hoisted into the underground cavern from this hole. Moreover, they also found a lot of strange iron tools in the cracks of the mountain here, these iron tools seem to be a very long spoon, and a lot of rainwater from the mountain is introduced into these cracks, we think this is to speed up the dissolution of the karst caves inside the mountain, which is also a measure set up in the Ming Dynasty. We found traces of the same iron tools near the entrance of that cave, and you know what that means? ”

I shook my head, he said: "This hole is washed out by thousands of years of rain, they set up a copper ball at the entrance of the hole, made a mechanism, after knocking off the surface of the rock, it is all easy to dissolve limestone, the weight of the copper ball is very heavy, when the rain is concentrated in this hole, the rock below will decompose and brittle, the weight of the copper ball itself will crush the whole stone, in nearly a thousand years, the copper ball continues to sink, and finally penetrates this dome." ”

When you want to make a hole in a mountain after a thousand years, and you have a thousand years, a lot of things are actually very easy for you.

I listened to the chill growing on my body. Is this possible? My first impression was that it was too suspenseful, but what I knew told me that it was absolutely possible, and that it wouldn't even take that long. If the water flow is consistent and contains certain chemicals, it may only take a few years to drip through a stone. This is also the reason for the frequent occurrence of landslides in many places.

I woke up under a mudslide slope, there is a lot of vegetation here, and the mudslide is not so large-scale, obviously there are many gaps in the rocks here, and this premise is valid. It's not the scariest thing, it's scary why anyone would have such thoughts.

What we want to know is, what kind of people are they, what kind of life are they living, and what is this terrible design for?

"I'm sure they won't just look for such a place, because there are too many changes in the middle of a thousand years of design, and this place may be one of the places they chose." "There are not many places like this in Guangxi, but in a few years, it will still be a wild place to escape tourism and various industrial developments, and it is likely that it will only be the hinterland of the 30,000 mountains here," said the ghost. ”

"Have you argued all of this?" I asked, there are many things that are taught in universities that are not feasible by speculation. The ghost man only said: "No, you will believe it after listening to me." ”

"Basically all of our judgments can be restored to the facts, but when this explanation comes here, there is a big problem." The ghost man patted the rock on the side, "How did you press this stone to the top of the mountain?" We did a lot of research on this stone and soon discovered a very terrible truth. And then I discovered the truth about the mountain. He said, "Now that you have a good look, I'll show you what this mountain is." Why do I say that they are already dead when they enter the building? (To be continued)
