"Poker face? Poker face! Ah Shen shouted loudly at the bottom of the well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info until a faint and muffled voice came from his feet, "Here. ”

Ah Shen suspected for a moment that he had misheard, and tentatively shouted again, "Poker face? ”

"Here."

The sound came from under Ah Shen's feet, and Ah Shen crouched down and groped carefully.

"There's a hole down there, you come in."

Shen judged that it was the voice of the poker face, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. He groped his way to the source of the sound, and sure enough, there was a hole in the wall at the bottom of the qanaq. The hole was small enough for a man to pass through, and if it weren't for the darkness at the bottom of the well, they would have discovered the existence of the hole long ago. It must have been discovered by accident when the poker face sat down to rest just now, so I went to investigate first.

Even though Ah Shen couldn't see anything, he still shouted into the cave, "What's inside?" ”

Pokerface didn't answer. Ah Shen gritted his teeth and drilled into the hole. While drilling, he said hatefully, "Lao Tzu jumped into a well for the first time in his life, and drilled a hole for the first time, but he did it all today." As soon as he finished speaking, the ground above his head suddenly opened, and the darkness in front of him seemed to have been diluted, and he could see a little light. Ah Shen continued to crawl forward, he really didn't expect this hole to be so long. However, the more he climbed the hole, the wider it became, and he was gradually able to hunch over. He leaned against the cave wall, thinking to himself, no wonder the voice of the poker face was so small just now, it turned out that he was talking to him from such a wide distance. After walking about another hundred meters, my eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is ......," Shen was stunned by the sight in front of him.

"It's a natural underground lake." Poker Face stood on the edge of the lake, which was large, stretched for hundreds of meters, and the water was crystal clear, and on the other side of the lake, there was an underground passage that was pouring water into the lake like a waterfall. "That's where the sound of the water comes from."

Ah Shen was speechless in shock. "I really didn't expect that there was such a big lake under the desert. It's amazing. However, such a big hole, there is no support, why didn't it collapse on it?? ”

"Remember the poplar forest we saw?"

Shen's eyes widened, "You mean, we're under that poplar forest?" ”

Pokerface sat down along the edge of the lake and slowly explained, "Even if it's not directly below, it's not far from the poplar forest." Look at the top of our heads. ”

Ah Shen looked up, and although the light was dim, he could still faintly distinguish the jagged bumps above his head. "What's that?"

"That's the roots of the poplar tree."

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the plants in the desert, even if they are short and weak on the surface, must have a strong and well-developed root system, which goes deep into the ground for a few meters or tens of meters to draw water. The poplar forest they saw just now was very lush, and the root system must have been unusually developed.

Pokerface was right, there must be a water source under the woods, and it turned out to be such a large lake.

Thick roots bend and twist above their heads, cementing not only the surface, but also the source of the ground.

Poker Face filled the kettle, pinned it to his waist, and picked up two dry branches from the corner. Spread your hands.

"What?"

"Lighter."

Shen took a step back, "How do you know I have a lighter?" As he spoke, he pulled a lighter and cigarette out of his pocket.

Poker Face grabbed the lighter and the cigarette, and in the blink of an eye, the cigarette was already thrown into the water.

"Hey!" Ah Shen didn't fight in one place, "If you borrow fire, you borrow fire, what do you do with my cigarette?" ”

"Smoking is prohibited underground."

"What rules! Is there a no-smoking sign here? ”

Poker Face didn't care about Shen's complaints, and lit the branch to himself, and walked forward.

Ah Shen is angry, it's not good to have too much attack, under this underground, although he is not afraid, he also does not want to be alone. After getting along for the past few days, he always felt that this poker face had a sense of déjà vu, which made him indescribably close. He knew that no matter how much he complained, Pokerface would not respond, and more importantly, he was no match for Pokerface at all. So, Poker Face walked ahead with a torch, and he had to follow closely.

"Hey, why don't we use a flashlight? I brought it, in my bag. Ah Shen said that he was about to open his bag and take a flashlight.

Poker Face stopped, "No. Just use fire. With that, he walked forward with his torch in his hand.

After walking for a while, seeing that the poker face was getting farther and farther away from the lake, but walking in the opposite direction of the road, Ah Shen finally couldn't help but speak, "Where are we going?" According to our footsteps, it should now be about a kilometer northwest of Lake Aydin.

Poker's face was a little surprised, Ah Shen was so sensitive to geographical distance, and he could still judge their location and distance when he was going around underground. "Now the surface temperature is in the thirties, and if we go up, we will soon be exhausted. Although the underground is criss-crossed, it is actually the underground water channel of the qanats. If I'm not mistaken, we're on a stretch of dry up after the water level shifted. Soon, we'll see another qanats. ”

The underground passage was far more complicated than Poker Face and Ah Shen thought, and after walking for a long time, Ah Shen gradually realized that something was wrong, "We are back to the same place." ”

Poker Face felt the same way, nodding silently. Then they stared at the road ahead, as if recalling the path they had traveled before.

Ah Shen was much quieter than on land, and with a serious face, he said, "We probably met a ghost hitting the wall......

"There are no ghosts in this world." Poker said with a heavy face.

"Then you say, how can we get lost?" Ah Shen said solemnly.

Poker Face closed his eyes and muttered, he had an answer in his heart, but he never wanted to believe it.

Ah Shen saw that Poker's face was closed, his eyebrows were slightly locked, and he felt that he was struggling in his heart, "Let's think it's a ghost hitting the wall first, use my method to go through it, if it doesn't work, let's find a way." ”

In a trance, Shen saw that the face of the poker face reflected a blue and white light under the faint light of the torch. "Are you tired?" Ah Shen asked.

Pokerface shook his head, "Let's go." ”

Poker Face insisted, Ah Shen didn't persuade again, "You go ahead, I will follow you from a distance, if there is anything unusual, I will stop you immediately." ”

Poker Face nodded slightly in agreement. He turned and walked forward. Poker face walked in front, you can hear Ah Shen's deliberately aggravated footsteps behind him, they walked step by step, walked for a long time, Ah Shen saw that the poker face in front of him suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" Ah Shen stepped forward in three steps and two steps, staring at the front with a poker face.

It's back to where it was......

"What's going on?" Ah Shen muttered. Could it be that this ghost's Taoism is relatively high?

"There are no ......ghosts in this world," Poker Face couldn't help but reiterate.

"And what do you say this is?" Ah Shen's idea didn't work, and he felt a little hairy. He didn't know why his first instinct was to judge that it was a ghost hitting the wall, as if it was a natural reaction from his body.

Poker Face shook his head slightly. After hanging his head for a moment, he seemed to muster up courage, and finally picked up a few small stones from the ground. Stand up and whisper, "Let's go." ”

Ah Shen stopped talking this time, and quietly followed the poker face. He didn't know what Pokerface was used to pick up rocks for, and along the way, he knew that Pokerface had his reasons for doing everything, and more often than not, he just had to watch him quietly, and that's it.

Holding a small stone in his hand, Poker Face placed a stone on the ground after a while, and after a long time, they finally returned to their original starting point.

Ah Shen still didn't want to believe it, "It's not scientific." ”

Poker Face didn't speak, silently looking at the small stone that stretched into the darkness. He was also puzzled, if this was the result of natural formation, he really had to admire the miracle of the Creator of Nature. But what if this isn't?

"What do you mean...... Is this a labyrinth? ”

The poker face was very calm, and there was no intention to refute.

Ah Shen shrugged, "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu has seen it today." But do you think it's necessary to build a labyrinth underground? ”

"You think it's man-made?" Poker turned to look at Ah Shen, his eyes like torches.

"It's not man-made, isn't it natural?" Ah Shen didn't expect that he would be as smart as a poker face, and he would hesitate for this. "When you said that this was a labyrinth, I realized that along the way, this labyrinth seemed to be built according to the five elements. With that, he crouched down and beckoned Pokerface to bring the fire closer. He used his fingers to scratch on the ground and said, "Xia Kun and Shang Qian, according to the geographical location here, the south is Kun, the north is Qian, the starting point of our station is Kun Palace, and there must be a Qian Palace in the farthest place from us, that is, the exit to crack this labyrinth." And just now, we didn't find a fork in the road along the way, which can only explain one point. ”

"The fork in the road is hidden."

Ah Shen was stunned for a moment, clapped his hands and stood up, "Maybe before I lost my memory, I was a well-known fortune teller, and I even knew this." ”

Poker Face certainly wouldn't want to listen to his. Silently walking at the forefront with a torch. Walking straight to the place where both of them agreed, Ah Shen lay on the wall, put his ear on the wall, knocked left and patted right, and finally found that the wall under the corner was hollow and weak.

He stood up and kicked open the thin layer of soil with his foot, and there was a one-foot-square hole in the back.

The two of them crawled along the hole, and soon, Ah Shen noticed that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and after a while, he came to the bottom of a new well.

To their surprise, there was a man lying at the bottom of the well.
