Chapter 49: The Artifact

I don't have a good heart. Liu Changleg had already turned on the flashlight and shouted: "Rush over." ”

Zhang Xiaohu, Liu Peng, and Cai Zhengdong lit up the flashlights in their hands. I saw what seemed to be going on that side of the village, and there were countless human-faced bats desperately flying towards it.

"Don't star, rush over......" Liu Changleg shouted and ran. Cai Zhengdong and Hu Xiaoming behind him also ran.

At this time, we were tied to a rope, they ran too fast in front, Lu Keqin and I didn't follow, and we were dragged to it, and fell into the two-way pothole.

In such a chaotic situation, one person who stumbles will die, let alone two. In the blink of an eye, they were brought to the ground by the two of us. Liu Changjiao, Zhang Xiaohu, and Liu Fashan stretched out their hands well, and climbed on the edge of the pit in time, but fortunately, the inner wall of the pit was not completely smooth like the stone wall above, and the feet were kicked indiscriminately below to find the relay point, and the gecko stabilized his body; Lin Xian'er and Cai Zhengdong were not so lucky, one body was suspended in the air, only eight fingers were clasped on the edge of the stone, and the other simply hit the mountain wall, the leader Sen Sen, and his eyes were full of sparks; was able to stabilize and not fall directly, Hu Xiaoming made the first contribution. Originally, others had already turned their heads down, but by mistake, the onions were stuck on the edge of the pit. (Thanks to his big belly, others can't get stuck.) )

Liu had long legs and tried to climb back to the ground less than two feet, and struggled a few times, Cai Zhengdong fell so that he didn't go up and down, and there was no helper on the other side, so he was so anxious that he shouted: "Lao Cai, what are you doing, I can't stand it." ”

Cai Zhengdong hit it really hard, and after being reminded by Liu Changshan, he got up and climbed back to the stone wall. At this time, Lin Xian'er followed the force of Hu Xiaoming's side, and finally climbed to the ground with two elbows. As soon as the two of them came up, Hu Xiaoming's pressure disappeared suddenly, and he gasped and screamed that his stomach was going to be ruined, so pull him up.

By the time they pulled me and Lu Keqin, who were completely suspended in the air, up, the bats were already flying in front of us. We have seen the power of the human-faced bat, and Liu Changjiao didn't dare to rush over anymore, telling everyone to climb down and not move.

We climbed motionless on the ground in a row like train wagons, praying that we would not be discovered. After a while, it turned out that the scruples were completely unnecessary, and the human-faced bats didn't seem to notice their presence at all, and flew straight into the depths of the pit in a pile.

"Wonder what's going on over there?" I looked at the village in confusion, but I couldn't see anything too far away.

Countless bats stirred, and the smoke in the pit surged and drifted around, gradually revealing the situation inside. In a trance, I saw something hanging in the hole, but I couldn't see what it was, so I called to them, "What do you see?" ”

They heard my cry and looked into the pit together. Because the smoke did not dissipate, the human-faced bats hovered and flew and affected our vision, and our eyes were sour, and we couldn't see clearly.

Liu Changleg rubbed his eyes and said, "No matter what it is, let's still have to go over." ”

Getting up and walking back, we were worried about Lu Dachuan, and the fear was left behind, and the walk went quite smoothly.

It was easy to walk back, and seeing that Lu Dachuan was not waiting, we were anxious, but we still waited for the bats to fly out before we came to the pit to check the situation.

At this time, we didn't care about being discovered, we *** turned on the flashlight, looked around, and our eyes fell on the thing we hadn't seen clearly.

It is located almost in the center of the pit, and looks like an iron rod, sticking straight out of the pit, as thick as an ancient tower, and the upper and lower ends are hidden in the dark, the length of which is unknown.

Hu Xiaoming's hands rubbing his stomach stopped, looked up and down, and said, "Ah! It turned out to be the Joyama Divine Needle. ”

Cai Zhengdong gave him a blank look: "Why didn't you get stuck in your mouth just now!?" ”

"Dead cabbage, don't thank me baby belly for saving your life and saying cool things. I think it's right to knock your mouth crooked. ”

When I didn't see Lu Dachuan, I was impatient, and when I saw that the two of them were fighting a lawsuit again, I said, "Brother Hu, if you don't speak, you can die!" ”

Hu Xiaoming's face was neither red nor green: "You can't die, you probably have to go crazy." ”

It's really helpless to meet such a shameless person, and I don't bother to pay attention to him.

At this time, Liu Changleg said: "I don't feel like this stick is erected from below, but like it hangs down from above." ”

"...... above," I looked up, and it was so dark that I couldn't see the dome. Liu Changleg turned off the flashlight and put it in his pocket, and took out a high-power light from his backpack to shine it.

The dome appeared in our view, probably less than 200 meters high and more than 150 meters high. Due to the distance, the others could not be seen clearly, but the big stick in front of us could be seen at a glance. Sure enough, it hung down from above, and the roots were not only thicker than the bottom, but also had two spherical objects hanging side by side.

I turned off the flashlight, took the headlight in Liu Changshan's hand, and walked up and down along the pothole for less than half a circle, and came back with a red face.

Liu Changleg looked at me strangely: "What's wrong?" His face was as red as a cockscomb. ”

I glanced at Lu Keqin and said, "I saw an artifact!" Then Liu Changleg asked again, and I lowered my voice and whispered to my ear to tell him what was on it.

Liu Changleg was surprised: "Really? ”

"What artifact?" Lu Keqin looked at me sneakily and looked at me with a tiger face.

At this time, although Lu Keqin and I were already very familiar, I was still embarrassed to tell her directly. Because hanging from the roof of the cave is a sculpture of a huge male genitalia.

Liu Changleg took the lamp back, walked around like I did, and smiled. They were so confused by the two of us that they came up and asked what it was?

Liu Changleg smiled and said, "It's nothing, the product of fertility worship." ”

They were all stunned for a moment, and then they understood, and the expressions on their faces were strange. But Lu Keqin didn't react, and asked after him: "What did you see?" ”

Several men coughed twice and turned their heads to see if there were any clues about Lu Dachuan elsewhere.

Lu Keqin was even more curious, and asked again. I quickly grabbed her and whispered to her what it was, and she blushed and grabbed my arm and twisted it hard.

Of course, the main reason for everyone's embarrassment is not the sculpture itself, but its too huge and independent, if you see an ordinary ** sculpture, we will not be like this, after all, we are all people with a certain amount of knowledge, who know what the fertility cult is all about.

Just when we were all feeling uncomfortable, Zhang Xiaohu asked us all to go over and look inside the hole.

We walked over and saw two different types of steel drills inserted side by side in a gap in the inner wall of the pit, with ropes tied to them, hanging down to the depths of the pit. It doesn't look load-bearing.

The position of the gap was about a foot from the ground, Liu Changleg climbed down and checked the steel drill first, then grabbed the rope and pulled it up a section to look at it carefully, and said: "The steel drill is not ours, the rope looks like Dachuan's." It seemed that he had followed them down. ”

Liu Fashan looked at where we were, at least ten meters away from the stone wall that turned into the mountain pass, and said, "No! Although I couldn't see it at the time, I could clearly feel that he had turned into the mountain pass in the dark, how could the rope be tied here. ”

Liu Changleg folded the rope in half and let us look inside the rope pattern: "I'm sure this rope is ours, you look at the traces of the soil, which were left in the woodland hole behind Zheng Shuang's house." ”

"It's weird, we're on the side, why didn't he notify us first, but he went down alone after walking so far?"

Zhang Xiaohu interjected and said: "I'm sure it's someone who went down, let's go down and find him and ask him, so why bother thinking about it here." ”

"That's a good word, but the situation is unclear, will it be dangerous to go on rashly? Don't forget they have guns. ”

I looked to the bottom of the cave and said, "I don't think I need to worry too much about them now." There was not a single gunshot from the bats that flew in, and there must be a hole in the sky below. ”

Liu Changleg lost the rope: "It's dangerous or not." It's been so long, and it's supposed to be long overdue for Okawa to come back. Now that he's leaving us alone, he's probably in trouble. ”

said that Lu Dachuan was in trouble, Lu Keqin was anxious first, and said, "Then let's go!" ”

We unfastened our backpacks, pulled out our seat belts, lifters, headlamps and other equipment and put them on. After a while, Liu Changleg said: "I'll go first, you alone are waiting for my signal on the side, and the rest are farther away, so as not to make the target too big." ”

Dragged up the rope and fixed it in the waist, Zhang Xiaohu and I helped Liu Changleg go down to the normal position, and then Liu Changleg stared down at the pit wall with both feet, and we turned off the light and climbed on the edge to look down. The others turned off the lights and sat in the dark not far from us.

The two of us saw Liu Peng go down five or six meters away, the light suddenly went out, and we were shocked, and we were about to turn on the light to see what was going on, when the light appeared again, and gave a signal to arrive safely.

Zhang Xiaohu glanced at me and said, "It looks like it's a side hole." ”

"Hmm. If they all go into the side hole, they won't be afraid of being raided. I turned my head and called all the people who were waiting.

With Liu's long legs underneath, we soon descended into an irregular, narrow hole in the pit wall. Because we didn't know Lu Dachuan's situation, we didn't dare to rest for a moment, packed up the safety belts, lifts and other equipment on our bodies, put them in our bags, and walked to the cave with our shoulders on our backs.

After walking a few steps, there is a one- or two-foot high ridge at the foot, and after going down, the cave suddenly opens up, and when we look back, we find that the entrance to the cave we entered is not the entrance of the cave itself, but the cave inside has collapsed due to the collapse of the mountain wall.

We looked up and down, left and right, and saw that the walls of the cave were rough, the ground was uneven, and there were no traces of manual excavation or anything placed, so we couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But what makes us complain is the movement of the cave, because it is not deep inward, but extends horizontally to the left and right, and the end is hidden in unfathomable darkness.

When I was confronted with the problem of going left and right, they all looked at me in unison.

Zheng I stretched out my hand to cover my eyes and said, "What are you doing according to me?" ”

They realized that they were carrying headlamps, so they put them away in their bags and turned on their flashlights.

Liu Changleg asked, "Which way to go?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I can't see the traces they left behind, so I can only choose a random direction to see the situation first." ”

After some discussion, we chose to go to the right. After walking for about three hundred meters, the cave turned to the left, and several stone steps appeared in front of me, and a stone wall on top of the stone steps blocked the way. I went up to check it out, found nothing, knew that I was going the wrong way, and turned around and walked back. Before he could get down to the entrance, a bright flashlight suddenly appeared on the opposite side.
