Chapter Twenty-Four: Piercing the Slate
The four of us searched down the mountain, and found water not very far from the tomb, a small stream, the big man didn't care, and in an instant several naked bodies poured into the small stream. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The stream is very cool, and the stream is also a spring that flows out of the mountain, and it flows all year round, and a ravine is broken in the valley, which is very deep, and occasionally there is a barrier, and a small pool is formed, and we bathe in the small pool.
The entire stream washed away most of the earth, leaving a large number of stones under the water, which were not completely rounded by the current, and the soles of the feet were cut.
"It's so cool, it's refreshing." Lao K shouted that the water was cool, and poured stream water on his body.
I also hurried the time, poured water from the stream, and kept plucking my body.
"Oops!" The bearded man screamed at this time, and it was estimated that his foot was cut by a stone under the small pool, and sure enough, he said, "It has been cut to the soles of his feet." ”
"Be careful, it's full of rocks underneath." I remind the beard.
The beard was cut, a little annoyed, and blood suddenly appeared on the water, he bent down and reached out to grope underwater, and after a while, he groped for the stone that cut his foot, and took it out of the water.
"It's really sharp, no wonder my rough skin and old flesh are cut." The bearded man was holding the stone, and he was annoyed at the thought of it, and raised his hand to throw it away.
"Wait." The pangolin has sharp eyes, and he knows the goods in the end, and he can recognize that the stone is special at a glance.
The beard was cut off, and he didn't throw the stone far away to vent the fire, glared at the pangolin and said, "You want it, what's the use!" ”
"Don't worry, it's not too late for me to throw it away after reading it." The pangolin reached out to the bearded man for a stone.
When the stone that cut the foot of the man reached the pangolin's hand, he looked at it closely, and I looked closer, and I couldn't help but say, "This stone is very special, a bit like jade." ”
"That's right, it's a stone like jade, it's changing." Pangolin said.
Old K took the stone and looked at it and said, "It looks like it, but it's not yet." ”
"It is the predecessor of Lantian jade, there are such stones here, it seems that there is indeed a Lantian jade mine in this mountain, we really didn't find the wrong place." The pangolin said excitedly, looking at me with excitement.
We brought the stones back to the camp, and Yang Gang saw them and recognized them, so he didn't want them.
Early in the morning, after we got out of the tent, we found that the black smoke had completely disappeared, and we cleared the branches that covered the hole, and looked down at the hole.
"Alright, I'll be the first to go down, and it won't be long before we can make a hole for us to go down." The pangolin tied to the waist with a rope on it walked to the entrance of the thief cave and said.
Together, we slowly lowered the mountain into a ten-meter-deep hole, followed by a banging sound mixed with the echo of the fallen rocks falling to the ground.
"Do you hear that? It's still very deep down there, so I guess we'll need some rope to prepare. The pangolin stopped his hand and rushed to the entrance of the cave, and we said.
"Is it normal down there?" Yang Gang leaned in and asked.
The pangolin immediately responded: "Normal for the time being." ”
After a long time, the pangolin finally opened a large opening on the sealing stone slab to allow people to enter and exit, and was shining a flashlight into it, and then told us, "I can't even see the bottom, it's black, and I don't know how deep it is." ”
"Don't worry, come up first!" Yang Gang said to the pangolins in the cave, and then we pulled the pangolins towards the entrance of the cave.
"It's too deep to see what's going on inside." The pangolin patted the dirt on his body and said.
Yang Gang had already prepared the test tool, which was actually a candle, made into a lantern-like thing at this time, but without a cover, tied to a rope, and when he arrived at the entrance of the thief cave, he slowly probed the candle into the thief hole.
"Yang Gang, what are you doing?" Sun Xiaoya has never seen this kind of thing, and it is estimated that she has not seen a similar scene in the novel and asked.
Yang Gang was concentrating on his work at this time, ignoring Sun Xiaoya, and I picked up the conversation: "This is the most primitive and effective detection method, using a candle to detect whether there is a lack of oxygen in the tomb. ”
"Oh-" I explained clearly enough, and Sun Xiaoya understood it as soon as she heard it.
I watched as the candle leashed on the rope went all the way down, and then through the large opening in the stone slab, and went straight into the darkness, and the candle remained on, not extinguished, until the rope was not long enough.
Yang Gang's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he finally got the candle into the thief hole, and now he motioned me to pick up his work, I took the rope and slowly pulled the candle back to the thief hole.
"There's oxygen, bring me the measuring instrument." The pangolin said to Shangguan Yaxiong at this time.
Shangguan Yaxiong's father, Shangguan Hong, sponsored many high-tech things, among which was a laser rangefinder.
The list was in Shangguan Yaxiong's hands, she quickly found the laser rangefinder, arrived at the entrance of the thief cave, opened it, and a ray of light shot out, and then poked into the thief hole, through the big hole in the stone slab, and shot directly into the dark hole.
"Exactly twenty meters." The number is shown on the laser rangefinder as twenty meters.
The pangolin glanced into the cave and said to Shangguan Yaxiong: "What I want is the depth under the slab, measure the distance from the slab to the ground." ”
Shangguan Yaxiong did not speak, but measured the results according to the pangolin's instructions, and told us: "The distance between the slate and the ground is more than eight meters. ”
"I'll go, there's an unknown space twelve meters deep below." Old K said in surprise.
This depth is already quite deep, and it is obvious if you compare it with the current building, which is equivalent to the height of a seven-story building if it is three meters per floor.
Originally, Yang Gang was a master in the tomb, but unfortunately he injured his leg and relied on crutches to walk, let alone go to the tomb, he could only let us do it, and he gave us countermeasures on the ground.
"I'll go down first." The pangolin volunteered, keeping his eyes on me, hoping that I would give him more tips.
However, my dream seems to have had an accident, judging from the smoke that came out of the cave yesterday afternoon, there was no smoke at all in the Nine Shadows Jade Palace in the dream.
"Could it be that the torch I threw away in my dream burned the Nine Shadows Jade Palace?" I muttered to myself, but I didn't say it, or they would have scolded me, and I hope something went wrong with my dreams, or the first pangolin to go down to the grave would have enough for him to drink a pot.
The rope was still tied to the pangolin's waist, and the rope had been lengthened to a sufficient length according to the depth measured by the laser rangefinder, and the other end was tied to a nearby tree for safety, and the people on the ground slowly pulled the rope to lower the pangolin.
"Pangolin, shout when you arrive." Yang Gang said to the pangolin.
The pangolin replied: "When I arrive, I will report safety." ”
The process of putting the rope must be very careful, if it is loosened too much, you may no longer be able to hold the rope, and the pangolin is like forming a free fall and falling, if you don't die, you will be disabled. (To be continued.) )
