Chapter 66: The Ladder to Heaven
On this cliff, there is actually a large area, and there may be other passages, but at present, this cliff is full of dense fog, or full of danger and unknown, and this cave about a few meters high is the closest to us, and it is also the most conspicuous, so it has naturally become the only path we choose.
After some discussion, we drilled into this cave, only to find that there is an upward ladder in this cave several meters high, in fact, it is an artificially built step, about two meters wide, not very steep, but look up, under the illumination of strong light, this ladder goes straight up, you can't see the end at a glance, it looks quite spectacular, and it is a little weird.
This is the first time I have seen this kind of cave, and I was a little surprised to see the expressions of several of them, especially Ansari's face with a kind of reverence, and he walked up silently, as if he was very anxious.
I walked next to Ansari, and after a while, I was a little out of breath, and I don't know who designed the steps here, each of which was nearly thirty centimeters high, and climbing this step was more tiring than climbing a mountain, and it was very difficult to take every step.
Of course, I also know that in this environment, the manpower and material resources to be consumed, as well as the difficulties of digging steps, are all geometrically multiplied, and naturally it is impossible to be like normal steps.
"Damn, which fool is doing this fool's work, so high, tired to death......" Da Kui muttered in his mouth, in fact, among several of us, he is the tallest, with the longest legs, and the strongest physique, if you want to say tired, we are all tired to death, it is estimated that he is not a big deal, and now he is actually shouting tired, I am also speechless.
Ansari said with a calm face: "Don't talk nonsense here, this is the ladder to heaven." â
"Ladder to Heaven?" I glanced at him, "What is the ladder to Babel?" â
Ansari pursed her lips, looked up, and said slowly, "You know the Immortal Heaven. â
Naturally, we knew that Immortal Heaven had heard this word more than once along the way, and none of us spoke, our eyes were fixed on Ansari, waiting for his next words.
Although he said this in an inquiring tone, he also knew that we would not answer, because this was nonsense, and after he asked, he continued to say to himself: "In the legend outside the Guan, the immortal heaven is the highest god of shamanism, and his residence is in a hidden place in the far north, and there is a ladder to the heavens, which can lead directly to the abode of the immortal heaven. I used to think it was just a story, but now ......."
Immortal Heaven, Ladder to Heaven? My mouth opened wide in surprise, and the others frowned in horror. Along the way, I always wondered what kind of place this Black Water Demon Cave was, and it was only at this time that I realized that what we had worked so hard to find would actually be the place where the legendary Immortal Heaven lived?
A chill suddenly jumped up from the back of the spine, my God, at first I always thought that this was a treasure hunt and tomb exploration activity, never expected that we would be a journey to find the gods.
However, the Immortal Heaven is the legendary supreme god of shamanism, what are we here to do with him? Since he was a god, how could he live in such a strange black water demon cave?
Also, is the legendary god really a zĂ i?
These three questions occupied my mind, but Ansari no longer spoke, I glanced at Lao Pan, he didn't say anything, just squinted his eyes, in the dark, his eyes seemed to flash a strange look.
Well, no matter whether they are looking for gods, or visiting tombs, or for some other purpose, since they have already boarded the thief ship, they can only go all the way.
I secretly smiled bitterly, but I remembered the terrible mold behind me, and I didn't know what was going on after the burial jade was taken away by Ansaari.
By the way, what kind of relationship will this mysterious burial jade have with the immortal heaven here?
With a full stomach full of doubts, I continued to climb the stairs with the others, and everyone was careful to be vigilant about the movement around them, because there were mountain walls on both sides of the steps, and if those people were walking the same way, then if someone was hiding in the shadows, we would not be able to find out at all.
Dongzi walked in front tremblingly, he also knew that his current fate was almost the same as cannon fodder, but speaking of which, his life was also saved by us, so although he had a bitter face, he never said anything, in fact, compared with the other group of people in front, Lao Pan and they are good enough.
Fortunately, although I was worried about this road, there was no danger, there were no monsters or zombies in front of me, and no one ambushed, and this ladder to the sky was not very high, we walked about 100 meters, and a platform appeared in front of us, and in front of the platform, there was a stone gate.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this ladder to the sky, not really to the sky, should still be in the belly of the mountain, we walked forward, only to find that there is a stone gate next to the red mandrill is completely different from the one that met the red mandrill before.
This stone gate and the entire mountain wall seem to be integrated, there is no knocker, no handle, no chain, Zhang Ye stepped forward to grope around the stone gate and the nearby mountain wall, puzzled: "The place where this god lives is really strange, this stone gate has no handle, how did he get out?" â
We all looked at Ansari, who was silent, staring at the stone door, with a strange look on his face, not speaking, not knowing what he was thinking.
Da Kui was impatient, walked over and looked at it with wide eyes, and said, "It's true, but, who designed this damn door, he ......"
He was about to use foul language again, but as soon as Ansari glanced at him again, he immediately shut up again, and I walked over and looked around, and said, "Maybe there's some kind of mechanism hub or something, should we look for it first?" â
Zhang Ye shook his head: "I have already looked for it just now, this mountain wall is bare, and there is no mechanism." And I've noticed all along the way, and there's nothing out of the ordinary. â
I frowned, but suddenly I had an idea and said to them, "Who said this door has to be opened?" â
Zhang Ye was stunned: "What do you mean?" â
Da Kui understood, he grinned, went up and kicked at the stone gate, the stone gate naturally did not react, but Zhang Ye suddenly patted his head and said: "It's really a fool's thousand thoughts, there must be a gain, come on, let's try to push this door open." â
That's right, who says the door has to be opened? Since this door doesn't have a knocker handle and no mechanism, it's likely to be pushed open.
Da Kui gave me a thumbs up and went up against the stone gate to prepare for transport, but Ansari suddenly said, "If this door is pushed open, then how did it close when you withdraw from here?" â
I couldn't help but glance at him, this guy's thinking is always different from others, but it is true, I also suddenly remembered, such a heavy stone door, even if it is pushed open, what should I do when the door is closed?
Lao Pan didn't speak on the side, squinted his eyes at this time, and said something brainless.
"There's someone inside."
After a little thought, I understood what he meant, and several people also showed sudden expressions, yes, there were indeed people inside, and the group of people walking in front of us had naturally already entered, so it was likely that this stone door was closed by them, and before that, I am afraid that this stone door was always open.
Ah Sheng suddenly said: "In Lu Ye's notes, that secret room, could it be here?" â
Lao Pan nodded: "It is very likely, judging from the situation in that note, he should have only come here in the end, and it seems that he went in, but he failed to solve a puzzle in the secret room, so the area behind this secret room will be a large blank." â
His words gave me some kind of inspiration, and I suddenly said, "Could it be that Uncle Lu Feng, the purpose of his letting us come here is to solve this unsolved mystery for him?" â
Lao Pan shook his head: "Then I don't know, you, Uncle Lu Feng, are a very mysterious person." â
His tone was full of nostalgia, Ah Sheng thought about it and said: "If Lu Ye has entered this secret room, it should be able to prove that this stone door is always open, so it makes sense, otherwise, if there is no mechanism outside, then unless there are people left inside, otherwise this stone door cannot be closed from the outside at all." â
Zhang Ye also continued: "You mean that those people must have entered the stone gate?" â
Ah Sheng snorted and said, "Probably yes, so, everyone be careful." â
This stone door is two left and right, we have a total of seven people, a group of three, respectively against the stone door, ready to push hard, Zhang Ye is holding a gun in his hand, standing in front of the door, staring at the stone door, waving his hand and said: "Let's start, no matter whether there are people inside, there are still monsters, if you dare to come out, I will give him a few transparent holes first!" â
