Chapter 92: Shadow Puppetry
"Big ditch?" Cha Wenbin blinked, he felt that he was not dazzled, it was obviously an exit, the sky outside was still bright, so big the sun......
Chen Zhen was also puzzled: "Is this kid too frightened inside, and his speech has begun to babble." ”
"You're scared!" Lian'er struggled from Cha Wenbin's arms and jumped to the ground to stop in front of them and said: "No one is allowed to go over, you must be confused, it is obviously a big ditch, if you don't believe it, you see!" With that, the boy snatched the torch from Chen Zhen's hand, and without waiting for him to greet him, he took a few steps forward and threw the torch out at once with all his strength.
This child is a child after all, with little strength, and with a burst of firelight, the torch will fly out a few meters away, thinking that it will fall to the ground, and then explode a ball of sparks. But a strange scene happened, the torch disappeared straight away, and in a few moments, a cloud of smoke rose from the ground, presumably extinguished when it touched something.
The facts are in front of you, and no matter how you try to defend them, you can't change them, and when Cha Wenbin realizes that he almost made a mistake, he can't help but start to feel relieved that he has made this short pause in his footsteps. After understanding that his eyes might have been deceived, he immediately subconsciously recited a heart-clearing mantra, and when he slowly opened his eyes again, where was there any green sunlight exit, as Tong Lian'er said, less than five steps in front of them, it was a huge gap that was cracked. The width of the gap is about 30 meters, and judging from the faint red charcoal fire in the ground, it is a crack with a slope of about 40 meters.
"This kid who loses ......" but in a blink of an eye, he whispered to himself: "Oh no, could it be that they just fell!" So he immediately lay down at the mouth of the mouth and began to shout the fat man's name, and there was nothing but echo after echo.
If you want to say that people are unlucky and drink cold water, they will stuff their teeth, because of this incident, Chen Zhen has been silently reciting the number in his heart and forgot it for a moment, after all, he can't do it with several uses, and this human flesh timer is blind and malfunctioning. Realizing that he had made a mistake, Chen Zhen lowered his head and said to Cha Wenbin: "Brother Wenbin, I don't remember how long we have been in, it was three minutes before we saw the exit, let's estimate that we will be delayed for a while, and then go back ......"
This stubble, not to mention Chen Zhen, Cha Wenbin himself forgot just now, people can only focus on one point when they are nervous, where can they take care of so much. I just thought about going back, but when I turned my head, I realized that it was too late, and the series of footprints left by myself when I came in were gone!
An oversight seems to be about to push you into a desperate situation, but the more terrible is yet to come. Where are Fat Man and Ye Huan? Will they be in the air because of one foot...... Cha Wenbin didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately decided: "Now I want to go down, whether they are or not, I have to go down, I want to see people in life and corpses in death!" ”
"Let's go!" Chen Zhen's child is really good, in order not to distract Cha Wenbin, he also specially carried Lian'er on his back, on the grounds that he would climb a little bit better than Cha Wenbin.
The ditch is not vertically downward, but has a certain slope and is shaped like an inverted ladder. If this kind of structure is seen by the fat man on weekdays, the first reaction is probably that this is an ancient tomb, usually before the Han Dynasty, China prevailed in the style of thick burials, most of the tombs are located deep underground, and this structure of rammed earth is adopted. At the moment, Cha Wenbin can't care so much, this big ditch is indeed full of traces of artificial excavation, those smooth facets can still be identified after thousands of years, and I don't know who carried out such a huge project in what era.
One step, two slides, it's more like this than going down. Let those stones cut his skin, there is no way back, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he can only break through. People do something amazing when they have to, and the result is very likely to change even more.
So are there any clues under this deep ditch? The moment you step in, it's an unbelievable discovery!
Unexpectedly, the bottom of this deep ditch turned out to be a flat piece of transparent glass-like ground, and Cha Wenbin, who slipped down the hillside, thought that it was encountering ice.
Have you ever seen the tempered glass transparent floor in a museum? That's it, although there are some rolling gravel and dirt scattered on it, most of the area can be seen. The flat earth glistened in the light of the fire, and the glass-like floor was polished smooth by the people of the past.
"It's a crystal!" Chen Zhen studied geology, and he could recognize the material of the ground at a glance, "This is a typical East China Sea crystal mine, such a large area of natural crystal polishing, how many hardness tools do they need, and how did people do it years ago." ”
"Don't worry, it's useless if you're in a hurry......" Ye Huan's voice came from a distance for no reason, Cha Wenbin was overjoyed, this voice was heard by his side, he followed the sound and looked around, but it was empty, as if there was such a sudden appearance in the air.
"Did you hear anyone just now?" Cha Wenbin asked the two of them.
"It seems to be ......" Chen Zhen was not sure, but Lian'er said that she also heard Ye Huan's voice, the area at the bottom was about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by steep trapezoidal cliffs, although there was no light, but the sound sounded only ten meters away, Cha Wenbin and the others turned around at the bottom but didn't even see a figure.
"Stone, senior......" he shouted loudly, the surrounding cliffs kept echoing his echo, but Ye Huan or the fat man's response never appeared. The voice seemed to float from somewhere, like a ghost, coming and going......
"Wait, Brother Wen Bin......" Suddenly, Chen Zhen found that he was very curious about the crystal under his feet, this was not the kind of transparent flawless crystal, but the original crystal mixed with many white flocculent things in the middle, and there were several areas of transparency that could be close to the glass. It was in that transparent place that Chen Zhen wanted to take the opportunity to observe this rare mineral, but suddenly he didn't expect a face to appear on the other side of the crystal, a face that he was familiar with!
"They're here!" Chen Zhen pointed to the bottom of the crystal and shouted to Cha Wenbin: "They are here!" ”
What kind of scene is this? If you imagine this crystal as a piece of glass now, then the fat man and Ye Huan are in this glass at the moment, but their size is much smaller than that of normal people, as if a miniature version is projected in it. Cha Wenbin could clearly see that the fat man kept following behind Ye Huan, talking and gesturing.
"Stone!" You can touch their bodies with your hands, but there is a thick crystal, no matter how Cha Wenbin beckons and shouts to them, the people inside the crystal are always doing their own thing.
After trying for a long time, there was still no response, they were like talking to someone on TV, at that time Cha Wenbin's house already had a TV, he quickly linked the two together, so he guessed: "This may be an impression, this crystal can reflect their current situation, it seems that they are lost somewhere." ”
"Also," Chen Zhen said, standing up, "Not far from them, that crystal had a small flaw, and it had a slight crack. This is the characteristic of natural crystal, which is hard but brittle, and it is not a sound that comes out of it when it is cracked. ”
"So what are you waiting for!" Cha Wenbin immediately pulled out the seven-star sword and slashed it on the ground, and smashed it down several times, except for the piercing "ding dong" sound, there was not even a white spot left.
"You can't do that!" Chen Zhen said: "It is almost impossible to break such a large piece of crystal in the front, and the hardness of the metal is far less than it. Unless its corners are found, the stability of that place is the worst, and the slightest external force will cause the whole surface to shatter. But I've seen it, and all sides of the crystal here are derived into the mountain, so to speak, it is indestructible. ”
"Then there's no way!" Cha Wenbin was rarely out of control, and he suddenly smashed his fist down like a crazy person. The crystal was so strong that it could only be exchanged for piercing pain and cracked wounds, and then a decadent sitting, and I could only watch my friend in it as if he were putting on a shadow puppet show for himself.
"Old God Stick!" The fat man said: "I seem to have heard Cha Ye's voice just now." ”
"I heard that, too." Ye Huan signaled him to be quiet and listened carefully for a few minutes, the two of them didn't know how long they had been lost in these labyrinthine passages, the endless aisles, the countless forks, how did they know the mystery.
"I think they might have come in too, we've been trapped for so long, it's inevitable that they're going to be desperate, but this place seems to be a dead loop, and if you go on like this, you'll have to starve to death, so you have to find a way."
"Is this a ghost hitting the wall?" It's not the first time the fat man has heard of this term.
"It's not." Ye Huan said: "At best, the ghost hitting the wall is just confusing the eyes and making people lose their direction, but we seem to have entered a maze, and this maze is very likely to be constantly changing the channel, and we have also made a lot of marks along the way, some of the marks have been discovered, and some have not, as if the pipes buried in the ground are constantly changing each section." ”
"Damn, it's going to die! If only there were explosives, let the fuck go! The fat man couldn't do anything at the moment except to use his dagger as a mark, these marks occasionally appeared in their subsequent circles, but they were not connected to each other, which was also the most incomprehensible thing for Ye Huan. It stands to reason that there is no way for these passages to be moved by external forces, and no one can hollow out a mountain and make it look like a mechanism.
