Chapter 151: The Upper Mine Cave of the Demon Valley
"Dear passengers, welcome to this Linyang Metro Line 3," Li Tong's head above the subway radio suddenly turned into operation, the rustling murmur was also accompanied by this gentle female voice, hearing this kind and gentle female voice, you can imagine a gentle and shy big sister smiling at the radio, if the passengers hear this broadcast, it will probably be a very pleasant thing, but now there is only a rusty car left in the whole subway, and the passengers in the carriage are only Li Tong and the quiet cat, It's really not a normal thing to suddenly sound such a broadcast now.
"On behalf of all the metro staff, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your support of our work, and I am sure that you will have a charming and wonderful time with us...... ...... "The intermittent electronic noise adds a distorted ominous touch to this heart-warming broadcast.
This time is really beautiful, so beautiful that I can't see such a scene in my worst nightmare, Li Tong smiled bitterly, the subway is driving along the suspended track to the highest point of the huge hollow, it is like a roller coaster about to reach the top, oh my God, there will really be such a subway in the world?
"Now you are passing through the most prestigious Devil Valley Upper Mine Scenic Area on our Metro Line 3, this scenic area and line are sponsored by Yongye Group, here I am honored to give you a comprehensive introduction to the relevant scenic spots." The female voice chuckled.
What subway passes through one such so-called "scenic spot"? It's ridiculous that someone even recorded an introductory broadcast for it.
"Before becoming a well-known tourist city and cultural resort, Linyang used to exist as one of the province's top rich mining areas and jade producing areas, and the Devil Valley is one of the richest areas in Linyang copper mine, in the eighties of the last century, there were up to thousands of miners working here at the same time......" Li Tong then understood who the miners' bronze statues on both sides of the subway were, but with the searchlights flashing on both sides, Li Tong seemed to feel that these bronze statues were not static. Instead, every time the searchlights are lit and extinguished, the bronze statues of the working miners seem to be slowly approaching the subway on the overhead track in various postures.
"Until the collapse of the Linyang Mine in 1996, 196 miners died in the Demon Valley Mine, the exploration of copper ore here had to be terminated under the pressure of public opinion, until now, with the use of the latest bridge building technology and construction technology, the once sealed Demon Valley Mine Cave Scenic Area can be re-presented to the world, and this time, we are sure that there will be absolutely no accidents, you can enjoy such a wonder with confidence...... "Although this inexplicable explanation uses such a "you can rest assured" said in such a tone, but Li Tong really had no way to rest assured, because she was already sure that the bronze statues of the miners who seemed to be stationary were really alive, and now the bronze statues of the nearly two hundred miners had slowly moved to both sides of the moving subway in the darkness without saying a word, and these miners who looked lifeless were silently watching the passing subway with scrutinizing and indifferent eyes......
And Li Tong even heard the crisp collision sound of something hitting the carriage from the carriage above the head of the subway, and it seemed that something was crawling slowly on the roof of this huge mine, which caused such a movement!
"However, the collapse of the mine has exposed the symbols and murals of ancient civilizations buried under the rubble, attracting occultists and archaeologists from all over the world to explore, and then caused a series of astonishing discoveries, archaeologists speculate that 8,000 years ago there was a developed ancient kingdom settled here, and now the discovery here is the first rediscovery of this ancient kingdom by modern human society, archaeologists have temporarily named this civilization, 'Shenkeng Civilization'......" Shenkeng Civilization, Li Tong heard this term more than once when he was a child, in 97 years when Linyang all over the country set off a frenzy of archaeology and occultism, all the people in Linyang City are quite concerned about the discovery of the deep pit civilization, this is an ancient civilization between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, it is said that it is to resist foreign enemies before hiding in the pit, it is said that this civilization relies on the underground ecosystem to support the living needs of thousands of people, in the Devil's Valley such a harsh underground environment has existed for hundreds of years, when here various monuments, The discovery of cultural relics has shocked almost all of China and even attracted world-class attention.
However, Li Tong was only an eight-year-old child at that time, and at most she had only heard a little about these great discoveries on Channel 10's "Exploration and Discovery", and now she was asked to recall this major event back then, I am afraid that it was too reluctant for her, and she really did not expect that she would reunite with this archaeological discovery that has long been "outdated".
"The Pit Civilization has a history of nearly five hundred years, they have developed a unique religion and culture here, and every year they will enter the deepest part of the Demon Valley to kill at least a hundred captives to sacrifice their gods, this savage and ruthless civilization believes that only in this way can appease the wrath of the gods who sleep in the abyss, but their gods do not guarantee the eternal existence of their civilization, according to archaeologists, five hundred years after the establishment of this civilization, a civilization that also inhabits this vast cave complex." Blood Moon's invasion of the pit civilization, the irresistible pit civilization had to migrate into the ground, and it is very likely that it became the ancestors of Linyang who first settled under Mount Taiba, and they were also the ancestors of the local people in Linyang......" With the sometimes clear and sometimes vague female voice commentary, Li Tong clearly saw that the dark red light flowed on the cave walls on both sides of the cave, and the space of this vast cave that seemed to be endless, gradually began to shrink, and the bronze statues of the miners did not catch up, The subway has driven into a narrow long cave passage, Li Tong can now clearly see the surrounding caves densely flowing with red light of ancient murals, these murals seem to be slowly changing, bizarre, the faces of the ancient ancestors on it are more and more clear and evil, the painting style of this mural and most modern paintings mostly belong to two completely different genres, their painting style is close to abstraction or Fauvism, and the murals have a wild and ancient atmosphere.
Li Tong could clearly see that these ancestors were dancing bewitching and desolate around the black fire, and in the flames there was a woman with a white fox mask dancing, holding a miserable white dagger in her hand, and most of the other murals were very simple, but the woman in the center danced vividly in the flames, and in the dark red light, this woman was more like a living creature, Li Tong felt that she was looking deeply at herself with her dark blue eyes!
Fortunately, the picture was only a flash, and more murals flashed in Li Tong's eyes—the ancestors carved a giant statue of the Buddha with a thousand hands on the black boulder; The ancestors built sharp towers of rope and wood, and on top of the towers burned like Sauron of the Rings with eyes burning like red flames; Countless ancestors wearing animal skin armor held spears and rushed towards a large black bird with three legs in the distance; Ancestors sat in the depths of the caverns beneath the abyss, dressed in costumes and masked sacrifices chanting incantations, and countless spears and stakes with the heads of their enemies set up at the edge of the endless darkness......
In the five years after the opening of the Devil's Valley as a scenic spot, at least 20 people disappeared here for unknown reasons, and there were hundreds of sightings of the white, petite, human-shaped unknown creatures, and in 2008, because of the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl, the government had to close the Devil's Valley scenic spot due to the pressure of public opinion...... When the narrator said this, her voice suddenly became completely distorted, turning into a series of roars that seemed to be someone's heartbreak, and it was impossible to hear what she was saying at all.
I don't know what I hit on the track, the whole subway shook, and the black cat that had been napping suddenly exploded as if it had sensed something dangerous, and jumped directly on Li Tong's head unceremoniously.
"Click, click, click, click, click......" The subway has been swaying up and down with some bumpy things on the track, and the speed of the subway has been slowed down sharply, and the current speed is not much faster than normal jogging.
"Bump!" Li Tong was suddenly startled by the sound of something falling above his head, it was a very clear sound of some kind of creature landing steadily on the subway car, and Li Tong clearly saw the two petite paw prints that suddenly appeared on the roof of the carriage that looked like they belonged to children, but no child's hand would have claws that were so sharp.
