Under the joint pull of everyone, the pedestal of the dragon king statue made a dull click, and the idol began to move slowly towards the temple door.

Everyone was surprised in their hearts, and they worked harder, and after a while, they dragged the idol more than a meter away.

Li Bing waved his hand, and everyone stopped dragging, only then did they feel exhausted, and their whole body seemed to collapse.

Several people coincidentally trotted to the headless dragon king statue, only to feel a cold air, and everyone took a step back.

But I feel that this cold air, although cold, is not as rotten as imagined, but mixed with an indescribable fragrance of flowers,

A black hole with a round size that can accommodate a person up and down is presented in front of everyone, and after everyone confirms that there is no danger, they try to get closer step by step.

Qian Yiduo took out the strong flashlight in the package and took a look at the black hole, only to find that the hole was not deep, but the hole was biased towards the small temple.

A stone bar broke into two pieces and lay quietly at the bottom of the cave, and another stone bar was holding its head high in the black hole,

The stone strip in the hole, the head is flat and pointed, as if it has been carefully polished by hand.

Li Bing thought for a while, and immediately understood, he told everyone: "The broken stone was originally fixed to the base of the idol, and it was connected to the idol, so it was impossible for us to push the idol at first, and the stone bar that is now warped should be connected to the idol of the turtle prime minister, that is, the mechanism that was activated. ”

Everyone looked at the two stones in the cave intently, and after Li Bingyi's explanation, they all understood the mystery of this mechanism.

Qian Yiduo said puzzledly: "Li Bing, why is this black hole biased behind the small temple, and the big snake was not found in this cave." ”

Li Bing groaned: "I also feel strange, this small temple is built on the mountain, and behind it is a huge mountain rock, could it be that Yuan Tiangang took great pains to dig a hole in the mountain rock." ”

He shook his head again and said, "Thinking about it, I think it's unlikely, because we didn't find this big snake, there are only three possibilities: first, it has already died in a place we don't know; The second is that it is outside and has not returned to the cave; The third is that it is in the depths of this cave. ”

Li Bing frowned, thought for a while and continued: "The third situation is the most incredible, how much effort does it take to dig this big pit, and judging from the cold wind coming out of the hole, the volume of this pit must be at least the size of a house, which is possible in ancient times, when there were only primitive tools." ”

Zhang Yuanshan said with a smile: "Li Bing, why bother yourself so much, you scholars, that's what you look like, you like to understand why, let's just go down to the hole, take a look, it's clear at a glance, it's better than any guess." ”

Li Bing woke up Zhang Yuanshan with a word, and smiled embarrassedly,

He said to everyone: "I don't know the situation in this cave, you all stand back, I will go down first, if anything happens, you leave quickly, if there is no situation, I will call you down." ”

Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya each grabbed Li Bing's hand almost at the same time, and they didn't allow him to go down and take this risk.

In their respective hearts, they all had an inexplicable affection for Li Bing,

Li Bingzheng said: "It's okay, don't worry, smell the fragrance of flowers coming from this cave, and there is no rotten smell, let alone the fishy smell of the snake, which proves that the following should be safe, at least this snake is not in this cave for the time being." ”

Everyone kept persuading, Li Bing insisted on not listening, he said to everyone emotionally: "Think about it, a few of us, since we have walked together because of chance, fate has been tied together since then, since we embarked on a journey to explore the secrets of Qianling, this game has been started, and it can no longer be stopped, so in order to crack the secret of Qinglong, one of us must go down first to see the situation." ”

He stared at everyone: "We are all one body, we are all brothers and sisters, whoever has any misfortune, no one else can bear this blow, why I insist on going down, it is not that I am strong, but whether there is another weirdness in this cave We don't know, but I have the advantage of having two true qi and relics to protect the body, and the danger of going down is far less than any of you." ”

Listening to Li Bing's reasoning, everyone had to obey him,

Li Bing took the rope, tied it firmly around his waist, tied the other end to the pillar in the small temple, and began to grope slowly down the hole.

As soon as he got down to the hole, Li Bing felt that his feet had touched the hard ground.

He turned on the flashlight and was surprised to find that there was a hole running through the hole horizontally, and there seemed to be a little light at the end.

Li Bing untied the rope around his waist and slowly groped towards the light at the entrance of the cave.

This secret passage is only more than ten meters long, and Li Bing touched the cold rock wall with his hand, which confirmed the conjecture in his heart: this is a tunnel opened in the mountain rock.

Li Bing walked along this barely one-man high passage, and when he didn't reach the bright light, he was already pleasantly surprised in his heart.

That bright place turned out to be a hole, no one expected that the tall cliff behind the small temple was only more than ten meters thick, and someone drilled through a hole.

When he first walked to the entrance of the cave, he was greatly shocked by what was presented in front of him.

But seeing the lush greenery, overgrown with dense trees and many unknown flowers and plants, this is a huge sinkhole, and since it is unknown to outsiders, everything presents a natural and pristine beauty,

Surrounded by peaks, the valley is full of white pear blossoms and pink peach blossoms, birds and flowers,

At this time, it is early summer, but the valley is still full of spring.

Li Bing roared loudly excitedly, startling flocks of birds in the valley, and his echoes floating throughout the valley, constantly circling and flying in the valley,

Li Bing was fascinated by it, and it wasn't until an anxious call came from behind him that he came to his senses, and the others were still waiting for his reply in the small temple,

Li Bing hurriedly followed the tunnel back to the black hole under the small temple, and was pleasantly surprised to tell everyone that there was no danger below, so let them all come down.

When everyone came to the entrance of the cave through the tunnel one by one, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them.

After a long time, they found that the entrance of this cave was a platform of more than ten square meters, and at the bottom of the valley, there was a small island covered with green trees in the middle.

Li Bing smiled happily: "I bet that what we are looking for is that small island." ”

Everyone sorted out their bags and made sufficient preparations, and then began to follow a relatively flat place on the edge of the platform, carefully going deep into the valley bottom.

The three men took turns wielding machetes in front of them, clearing a way, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya held hands tightly, and followed them towards the bottom of the valley.
