Chapter 11: Yemingdong

"Look ahead."

We cautiously walked around the stalactite coffin and found that the ground of the cave was gradually becoming stalactites!

"How many stalactites do you have to be to lay out such a spectacle?" Xia Jiujiu looked at the ground in front of him and said in surprise.

We were all stupid.

In front of our eyes, from this crystal female corpse as a watershed, the ground is flattened, and the flat ground hardened by stalactite reflects the light of the flashlight like a mirror.

"Dig up the stalactites, take their milk pith, and then fill it with the female corpse, I can't imagine that the milk marrow dug out was used by the ancients to lay the ground of the cemetery!" Tie He sighed.

"In ancient times, the tools were not developed, and it was extremely difficult to lay stone roads to dig grottoes, and I couldn't imagine that such a strange method could be come up, and the wisdom of the ancients was really immeasurable!" A guy sighed.

I listened to him speak in a sloppy manner, turned my head to look at him, and saw that the person who spoke was the doctor who bandaged me.

The doctor saw that I looked back at him, but he was not as enthusiastic as Tiehe, so he continued to squat on the stalactite ground and gently beat it with his hand.

I saw that he looked pedantic, and I didn't want to talk to him, so I had to continue with the team.

Before we could go far, the doctor hanging behind the line suddenly shouted in surprise: "Wait a minute, turn off the flashlight." ”

"What wait a minute, what flashlight to turn off?" Xu Wenbin turned around and asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, these stalactites ...... All contain phosphorus and sulfides. The doctor crouched on the ground, shining a flashlight on the stalactite ground, almost with a big tongue of excitement.

"What phosphorus? What sulfur? Lao Zhou, you can be clear, what's wrong with these substances in this stalactite? Poisonous? Xu Wenbin asked suspiciously.

"Searchlight, turn on the searchlight!" The doctor called Lao Zhou was a little incoherent with excitement, and stood up to pull a guy's backpack.

We were so confused by him that we just stood there and looked at him.

Xu Wenbin was not happy, grabbed Lao Zhou's hand, frowned and asked, "Your grandmother was ghosted?" Turn off the lights for a while and turn on the lights for a while, searchlights are so power-intensive, can they be turned on casually? After a while, I entered the main tomb, and Lao Tzu pointed to it to illuminate and pick up the treasure! If you don't make it clear to me, don't try to touch it for me. ”

The identity of this person named Lao Zhou in the team is obviously different from those guys, although Xu Wenbin made him a little baffled, but surprisingly did not open his mouth to scold.

Lao Zhou broke away from Xu Wenbin's hand, and his tone was a little disdainful: "Oops! Won't you know in a moment? ”

The people in the team seemed to be accustomed to Lao Zhou's temper of selling off the guanzi, and he really assembled the searchlight.

As the searchlight shone out as strong as day, the scene in the tomb suddenly became clearer than ever.

We have been in the dark for a long time, and suddenly our eyes are illuminated by a strong light, and we suddenly have a brief burst of blindness, but fortunately, it is not long.

When our eyesight gradually adapts to the strong light, we can't help but feel the value of this searchlight when we see these crystalline stalactites, which reflect a bright halo under the illumination of the light.

"The terrain seems to be open in the distance! Is the real destination not far from us? One guy excitedly pointed into the distance.

Just when these guys were gearing up to come forward to find out, Lao Zhou, who controlled the searchlight, turned off the light with a snap.

Our eyes had just adjusted to the bright light, and suddenly they returned to darkness, and suddenly our eyes were black again.

Xu Wenbin, who was standing next to Lao Zhou, couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to scold: "Lao Zhou......"

Before he could say a dirty word, he choked in his throat as if he had swallowed a dry egg yolk.

"I guessed right! You see, these stalactites do contain phosphorus and sulfide! Lao Zhou was so excited that he almost kicked the searchlight over, but this time, we didn't need him to explain what those chemical elements meant, we also knew what he was referring to!

"Am I right? Aren't these stalactites, Luminite stones? "I rubbed my eyes, and I almost burst into tears because I was pushing too hard.

The stalactite crystals in this cave, after absorbing the strong light of the searchlight, gradually emitted a light blue light, as if we were in a dream world, soft fluorescence lingering around, giving people the illusion that even their own bodies will glow.

"Old Zhou, I understand what you mean. These ancients are really yin, thanks to bringing you this time, otherwise we will stay in this cave for a long time, and we will all radiate into a vegetative state if we can't get out! Xu Wenbin seemed to be in an extremely bad mood when he saw the halo emitted by these stalactites, and the two stalactites he had been playing with in his hands were also thrown away like throwing firecrackers.

"Don't worry, since this stalactite needs to be exposed to light before it can fluoresce, it should be a kind of photoinduced energy storage fluorescence, and it will not be harmful to the body without radiation, otherwise those witch Gu sealed in the female corpse will not survive." Lao Zhou stretched out his hand and grabbed his scalp, looking at the fantastic scenes around him and muttered to himself.

"That's not good, these Northeast witch Gu are obviously not insects that should exist in nature, we still have to be careful, when we come to this cave, I haven't learned anything else, but I know one thing, that is, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are." When it comes to those bugs, we think of the miserable situation of those guys before and are silent for a while.

"Let's go, this fluorescence should last a lot of time, save some flashlight, let's hurry up and pass this road, there should be the exit of the cave in front."

Putting away the searchlights, we walked briskly forward, the fluorescence around us did not weaken in the slightest, but in the midst of this dream, the tense nerves were still soothed a little, and I even began to think crankily: "If this place can be developed into a tourist attraction in the future, it will be another great wonder that will shock the world." ”

Our pace was fast, and we soon reached the open area we had seen before.

"Didn't the searchlight shine in this place? Why isn't the ground bright? Xu Wenbin walked to the exit of the cave and turned on the flashlight to explore the surrounding environment.

This time, there was no need to ask Xu Wenbin, Lao Zhou, who was holding the searchlight, quickly turned on the switch, and a strong light shone on the place where the miner's lamp had not shone before.

This is an underground karst cave square of about 300 square meters, the top of the cave is densely packed with huge stalactites, inside these volactites like the belly of the Buddha, one by one curled up boys and girls are like the embryos of nameless creatures in nature, lying quietly in the stalactite belly, sleeping peacefully.

We were completely stunned by the scene in front of us, and it was hard to believe that there were so many stalactite coffins in this 300-square-meter giant square!

"What the hell are these things for? Is it worth the great expense of the ancients to sacrifice so many babies? "I was almost speechless in shock.

"Sacrifice? You think it's a sacrifice, but I think these boys and girls are something else. This kind of thing was popular in Northeast China more than 2,000 years ago, and later spread to Middle-earth and was widely accepted. Lao Zhou squinted his eyes and said while holding a searchlight.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Do you see these babies in the belly of stalactites like snake wine in a bottle?" Zhou Lao's tone was low, and we were immediately terrified when we heard it.

"You mean to say! Are these boys and girls all carefully refined and used to eat? It's impossible! Even as early as more than 2,000 years ago, the ancient kingdom of Su Shen must have been an extremely civilized and prosperous tribe! Cannibalism is impossible, right? One of the fellows said in shock.

"Hmph, this thing is not something that everyone can eat, in ancient times, stalactite chalcedony was a miracle medicine for curing diseases, and the best stalactites were not allowed to be enjoyed by non-palace nobles. Put these babies into the stalactite, and let me see that this has nothing to do with the ancient refining of the immortal elixir! ”

"Refining the elixir of immortality? Wasn't that what happened at the time of Qin Shi Huang? I have also studied the ancient history of Su Shen. According to historical records, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the ancient kingdom of Su Shen lost its news for hundreds of years...... "I defended.

"You're right, then do you know another thing, at the time of the Qin Dynasty, there was a controversy, that is, whether the boys and girls that Xu Fu brought to sea were five hundred or three thousand?" Lao Zhou looked at me quite confidently.

"I only know that those boys and girls are all from Shandong, and the specific number has its own argument in each family."

Lao Zhou turned off the searchlight, and in this dark environment, the stalactites that had just received strong light began to gradually release that light blue fluorescence, as if the corpse child inside the stalactite would also glow: "Okay, then let me ask you again, mercury female corpse, bronze chains, these things are not something that Su Shen himself can have, right?" If you want me to say, this prudence disappeared for hundreds of years, but it was secretly supported by Qin Shi Huang to go to this holy place to refine the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang! ”

Looking at this starry stalactite spectacle, I fell into deep thought.

Lao Zhou's words may indeed have some truth, but all this is just an inference after all, for this Wufang Divine Tomb, it is too early to make a conclusion.

"It's strange, look at the ground, why isn't it glowing?" Tie He squatted on the ground and shone down with a wolf's eye flashlight.

Sure enough, after turning off the flashlight, the transparent ground still did not react at all.

Xu Wenbin squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand and pressed the cigarette butt to the place where the Tiehe River had shone before, and the cigarette butt suddenly made a noise and was extinguished in place.

"Haha, Lao Tie, I think you're stupid? Everything looks like stalactites, if this thing can be lit, then it will be a ghost! It's ice! Xu Wenbin smiled proudly.

"Look, there's a boat over there." A guy turned on a flashlight and pointed to a corner of the cave.

We looked at the flashlight, and sure enough, we saw a broken wooden boat, overturned and frozen in the ice.

Xu Wenbin stretched out one foot and kicked a few feet towards the ice surface, the ice hard lines did not move at all, only a muffled sound came out, and then he said with confidence: "Come on a few guys, follow me to see what kind of weapons are around the boat, damn, it's so bad to come here, and I haven't caught anything yet!" I also folded a few brothers, what a fucking loss. ”
