Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Other Side Flowers
The huge, rusty, rusty bronze gate, like a gateway to the underworld, stands in front of us.
Yuan Mengqingfeng and I were all deeply shocked by this door that was almost like a miracle, holding up the wolf-eyed flashlight and no one spoke, our hearts were full of awe and fear of the unknown world behind the door.
But no matter how shocking it is, no matter how mysterious the bronze gate is, it is also a dead thing, and we must find a way to get in.
I took a closer look, these two bronze gates up to 20 meters high, closed tightly, if you want to open them, just by virtue of the three of us is tantamount to a dragonfly shaking the pillar, that one bronze door weighs more than ten tons, even if you put a package of explosives, the effect is similar to that of a cannonball. And all we see is the part of the bronze gate above the water.
Since the road ahead is impassable, there is only a detour to pass.
The Yuan sisters and I slowly leaned our improvised life raft towards the shore, and when we came to the shore of the lake to the left of the bronze gate, we really saw a vertical ancient plank road clinging to the rock wall.
Because of the distance, I can only see the basic outline of the ancient plank road, and I don't know if it can still be used. At the very top of the ancient plank road, there is a blurred black hole, which seems to be an entrance, and perhaps through that entrance, you can directly pass through the barrier of the bronze giant gate and enter the space it occludes.
At the bottom of the ancient plank road, there is a purple plant growing scatteredly, when the light of the mining lamp above our heads swept to the flowers, they actually reflected bursts of phosphorescence, which was very magical.
Our improvised life raft slowly leaned towards the shore, and gradually we smelled that in addition to the faint smell of water vapor in the air, there was also a faint fragrance, and it became more and more obvious.
The improvised life raft finally came to shore, and by the light of the miner's lamp overhead, we finally saw that a large area of purple flowers had grown on the edge of the underground dark lake, which was very lush, but their appearance was very strange.
They are strange because these knee-high purple flowers have only flowers and no leaves, and the surface of the earth is almost devoid of mud, and it is all sedimentary rock full of cracks. The flowers grew in the crevices of the dense rocks.
There is no light here all year round, and these purple flowers must not be able to photosynthesize, so the question arises, what do they depend on for their livelihood?
I don't understand!
After leaning to the shore, the fragrance in the air became more and more intense, and to be honest, I have never smelled the intoxicating fragrance of these purple flowers after I have grown so big!
I took a deep breath of the flowers, and then I was the first to jump ashore, pull Yuan Meng and Qingfeng up one by one, and then move the equipment down, find an empty field, and drag our improvised life raft up, and use it again when we go back.
Standing on the hard rock, I finally felt a little steady. Although the road was unimpeded, I was still a little frightened by the small boat made of fragile lifebuoys. After all, this is a dark river deep underground, and there is a red-blooded ghost baby in the river who can attack at any time, so you have to be vigilant at all times.
Now it's okay, standing on the land, my heart is steady, even if there are two more red-blooded ghost babies, I am not afraid.
I set up the improvised life raft and came back to meet Yuan Mengqingfeng.
But when I turned around and picked up the backpack on the ground, I saw Yuan Meng and Qingfeng ignoring their equipment, and the two of them were wandering among the strange purple flowers above their knees like drunk.
I was shocked in my heart, and secretly said, it's broken, these two sisters are evil!
Isn't it because of the ......, I was startled, seeing the strange purple flowers growing around me, I suddenly remembered an extremely dangerous plant, also has flowers and no leaves, but they are blood-colored, is it a variant here?
But the situation has developed to the point where I can't worry too much, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng have wandered to the edge of the underground dark lake in ignorance, and they fell into the extremely deep dark lake in two more steps, but they don't seem to be aware of it.
I screamed, threw down my backpack, and rushed towards them like an arrow from the string, but unfortunately, it was still half a beat, and as soon as I reached the lake, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng had already fallen into the dark lake as black as ink one after another.
Without any hesitation, I jumped on my heels.
After entering the water, I really realized how cold the dark lake is! It was a piercing pain.
Fortunately, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng were wearing fat mountaineering clothes, which contained a lot of air, which produced a lot of buoyancy, and the clothes were also not easy to soak, so their sisters were not easy to sink, but it still took me a lot of effort to drag the two of them ashore.
I don't know if the red-blooded ghost baby hair in the water didn't notice our embarrassing situation, but it will always be safer to stay away from the water source, so although my hands and feet have been cold and unconscious, I still gritted my teeth and dragged Yuan Meng and Qingfeng to the inner dark lake for five or six meters before stopping.
Yuan Meng and Qingfeng seemed to be frightened just now, their whole bodies kept shivering, I knew that they were not just because of the cold, because their eyes were full of extreme fear, they should have seen something extremely dangerous just now!
I was afraid that they would get hypothermia, so I hurriedly ran to get a smokeless stove and lit charcoal, and soon the warm flame lit up a small square of the surrounding world.
When Yuan Meng and Qingfeng saw the firelight, their complexions immediately improved, and they leaned over to bake the fire.
I know that this is not the time to ask them, and that they will speak for themselves when they are calm.
Adding fuel to the smokeless furnace and making the fire bigger, I stood up and saw the dark and empty underground cavern, because of the glimmer of fire, the atmosphere of mysterious silence changed, as if we had returned to the ancient cave days.
And I suddenly realized that since I lit the flame, the fragrance of purple flowers in the air has become much weaker, and I can't detect it at all if I don't distinguish it carefully. Although I am not sure that Yuan Meng and Qingfeng's delirium originated from the pollen of these strange purple flowers that creep in the crevices of the rocks, I can be sure that it is definitely not involved.
Since the fragrance of the flowers has faded, as long as they are close to the fire, they will not be in much danger. I decided to take a look at the ancient plank road for myself first, so that they could take the opportunity to undress and dry.
I conveyed my intention to the Yuan sisters, and without waiting for them to refuse, I left first, and when I left, I didn't forget to bring the wolf's eye flashlight. Because the miner's lamp on my head didn't light up after I went into the water, but the miner's lamp of Yuan Meng and Qingfeng, who entered the water one step earlier, was still good, what a hell! It seems that I was unlucky enough to buy it together, theirs is genuine, and mine is Xibei goods!
The ancient plank road is on the stone wall on the left side of the bronze giant gate, hanging down, although it is only more than 30 meters high from the ground, but it is steep and abnormal, I am slightly afraid of heights, at a glance, I really have some hands and feet cold.
Five or six meters away from the flames, the fragrance of the purple flowers gradually increased, but I suddenly thought of a question, in the same environment, why am I fine, but Yuan Meng and Qingfeng were tricked without realizing it!
It seems that this mysterious underground cave is not as simple as it seems. I'm going to be more careful.
With this in mind, I walked through the lush purple flowers to the bottom of the ancient plank road. When I got closer, I realized that this ancient plank road was made entirely of wood and stone.
The craftsmen who built it now chiseled holes in the smooth rock wall one by one, and then stuffed the stones into the stone holes to make steps, and then chiseled small holes in the stone strips made into steps, and installed wooden protective handrails.
I stood at the bottom of the ramp ladder and shone up with a flashlight in the wolf's eye, and found that it was covered with dust, God knows how many years it was! Under the ruthless erosion of the years, the stone stairs look fine, but the wooden handrails have rotted, most of the sections have been broken, and there are several places where they have collapsed, and the hateful thing is that all of them are in the top area, twenty or thirty meters above the ground, and there are bare stone bars left, unobstructed, and it makes people worry when they look at it.
In order to make sure that the ancient plank road is still usable, I tried to climb a little higher, but I didn't expect that the stone steps were very strong, but the dusty wooden handrails did not dare to move, and if I touched it slightly, it would make a dangerous creaking sound, and people were worried that it would collapse at any time.
I climbed seven or eight meters up, and I didn't find any broken stones, which put me at ease. was about to retreat from the ancient plank road, but found the Yuan sisters who were cooking a fire in the distance. They had taken off their hiking clothes and were baking their clothes only in their underwear. The white skin is so striking in the dark, and the graceful body I can see from the heights.
These two sisters are really natural stunners! I'm not a gentleman, I have this eye-catching benefit, don't look twice, how can I be worthy of this beautiful picture. Just when I was enjoying myself, Yuan Meng seemed to inadvertently raise his head and glanced at me, so frightened that I almost fell under the ancient plank road.
Voyeurism is not a glorious thing after all, and I hurriedly went down from the heights, and I was really a little apprehensive in my heart!
When I returned to the ground, Yuan Meng shouted at me, saying that he had dried his clothes and asked me to go over and bake them too.
I walked over with apprehension, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng were already dressed in half-dry clothes, and there was nothing unusual about roasting **'s hair there.
Maybe they didn't find out that I was spying on them just now, I squatted on the edge of the smokeless stove with confidence, I definitely can't take off my clothes in front of them, after all, in front of the goddess, how unsightly it is to be naked!
Qingfeng saw me coming over to roast the fire, shook her long wet hair, and suddenly asked, "Which one is better, me or my sister!" ”
"Ahh I almost bit my tongue and stared at Qingfeng speechless.
When the two sisters saw my embarrassment, they suddenly giggled together, and I was very embarrassed when I laughed. I thought they didn't find out, but they found out I was peeking at them in the first place.
In order not to embarrass me too much, Yuan Meng smiled and changed the topic, "Can the plank road still be used?" ”
"It's okay, although some places are quite dangerous, but be careful and you should be able to pass safely!" I said with a red face.
This is Qingfeng suddenly tilting his head and looking at me strangely, saying, "Strange, why don't you hallucinate!" Is there any treasure in you that you can't do? "As he spoke, he was going to come and search his body.
I only have one so-called "Ghost King Tooth Pendant" on me, and nothing else. I took it down and handed it over, Qingfeng took it and looked at it for a long time, and I didn't see the reason for it, so I handed it to my sister Yuan Meng.
Yuan Meng took it and looked at it for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, "It's strange, why aren't you afraid of this strange flower!" ”
I said, shaking my head, pointing to the nearby flowers, and saying, "Do you know these purple flowers?" I think there's a flower that looks like it, but it's not purple! Is it because it is not mature? But how can the world really exist......"
Yuan Meng nodded and said, "That's right, these are the unripe flowers of the other side!" The flower of death that grows in the underworld. ”
