We all leaned over and found that there were indeed words on the inner layer of the belt, and it was written in traditional block letters: "What does it mean to make steel and turn it into a soft finger." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Except for this poem, there is no other handwriting."
I felt as if I had heard it somewhere, and said, "Who of you knows which poem it is?" ”
Li Dong said: "I know this poem, it is a poem written by Liu Kun of the Jin Dynasty to his friend Lu Chen, the whole poem is a bit long, I don't remember, only this sentence is the most widely circulated." ”
Ansari said: "This poem is also a good match for this soft sword, but I don't know what the purpose is, if it is just a verse in praise of the sword, there is no need to engrave it on the inside of this belt." ”
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said: "Literally, there should be no other meaning, it is nothing more than the poet expressing his feelings and sighing about his own situation." This author has been the official position of the Jin Dynasty, such as Sikong and Thorn History, this poem was given to Lu Chen, and the ancestor of this Lu Chen is a celebrity, but the great Confucian Lu Zhi of the Three Kingdoms, this person is amazing, he has countless disciples, there are two people you must know, one is the White Horse Gongsun Zhan, and the other is Liu Bei Liu Xuande ......"
No way! This meeting has involved Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms, and this Li Dong is quite off-topic, so I hurriedly stopped him.
"Well, you wait a minute, I just want to know, are there any other hints in this sentence?"
"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's a little off. The name of this poem is "Regift to Lu Chen", if there is any metaphor, it can only be thought of from Lu Chen, so I will go a little far. ”
I patted my forehead and said, "Then you just say Lu Chen, what does this person do?" ”
Li Dong said: "Actually, Liu Kun is Lu Chen's brother-in-law, and Lu Chen has always served under Liu Kun, and he has not done much in his life, so I talked about his ancestors." The intention of this poem may be just to praise the sword. ”
I looked at the soft sword again, and there was nothing peculiar about it, so I said: "Maybe we think too much, this is just an ordinary soft sword, if you like it, you can take it, anyway, we don't know this old man." ”
Ansari also nodded: "This soft sword is indeed very ordinary, and the reason why it can pierce into the stone wall is entirely because of the user's high internal strength. ”
Although Ansari said this, Li Dong still liked this soft sword very much, he wrapped the soft sword around his waist, and borrowed the fish intestine sword from Ansari, cut off some of the raised stone ridges on the cave wall with a sword, and hastily covered the old man's body, which was considered to bury him.
From beginning to end, we haven't figured out the identity of this old man, but this person is likely to be a member of the Tianmang God Sect, because this place is very secretive, and there are many formations outside, so it is difficult for outsiders to enter the depths. Moreover, we have all seen the three people of the Shudao Gate, and the figure of this old man is completely different from the master of the door.
The left and right protectors of the Shudao Gate, the black-robed people, and the unknown old men, these people died in the passage one after another, and the time of death was extremely close, they seemed to be the top masters, who killed them? Why did the black-robed man become a zombie? There's a passage in his floor, where does it lead?
There were no answers to these questions, and since I couldn't figure it out, I stopped dwelling on these chores, put on the thermal imager and continued to move forward.
The road has been corrected several times, some of which seem to have been caused by a collapse in the middle of the tunnel, and some of which may have been dug up with groundwater and then filled in.
We made a few more turns, and felt that something was wrong, the road seemed to be winding back and forth, and it was still going up, and at this time, there was a shaking under our feet, and a lot of gravel fell from the cave wall above our heads, but fortunately they were all small stones, and they did not hurt us.
Then there was a "boom" sound in my ears, the sound was dull and low, as if a prehistoric beast was breaking through the earth.
I couldn't help but wonder, could this be the complete activation of the Tai Chi Array? I don't know if we're safe here.
After another walk, the dull roar continued, and it grew louder and louder, as if coming from in front of us.
Everyone was nervous all of a sudden, this road couldn't be turned back again, right?
After about a few minutes, the rumbling sound finally stopped, and we started to get back on the road again, the passage still extending upwards, and the feeling of going back became more and more obvious, did we go the wrong way?
I'm still wondering if I should discuss with the two of them whether to move forward or go back and find another way. Suddenly, I was knocked on the head.
No way! Who is it!? I immediately looked back and saw nothing but the empty passageway.
Then I felt that something was wrong, and I reached out to the top of my head, and a small stone was grasped in my hand. Immediately after "Click! With a thud, another small stone fell to the ground.
Later, rubble began to fall from the top of the cave wall, mixed with more fine sand.
Ansari shouted, "Not good! The passage is collapsing! Come on!! After saying that, he ran forward quickly without looking back.
Now I don't have to worry about where to go, I quickly follow his pace and run all the way, Li Dong follows closely behind me. The sand and gravel from the roof of the cave were falling more and more, and even bigger stones were falling, so we had to put our backpacks on our heads.
The passage shook violently for a while, and the falling gravel was like a torrential rain, and the passage could collapse at any time.
Ansari was much better than us, but instead of going alone, he took out a rope and threw it at us, pulling us along.
However, even so, I still felt that my strength was about to run out, and I could not continue. Li Dong's condition is not much better than mine, and I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my throat.
I really can't run, and I think if I continue to run like this, even if I don't get buried alive in the passage, I will lose my strength and die. Just when I had lost faith and wanted to stop and die.
Ansari suddenly shouted out of breath: "Ahead, there is ...... Outlet!! ”
What the!? There is an exit!? I looked up suddenly, and infinite hope immediately rose in my heart, oh my god! There really is an outlet! At this moment, I forgot all my tiredness and ran for my life towards the exit that appeared in front of me.
The passage had come to an end, and there was an ascending staircase a few dozen meters ahead. When we pushed the cover open, we were immediately covered in sand and dust, and no matter what the situation was outside, we all lay on the ground gasping for air.
Not long after lying down, the ground shook violently.
Ansari shouted, "Get out of here, the passage is going to collapse!" ”
I couldn't take a break when I heard this, so I ran desperately after Ansari with a roll.
"Boom!" There was a sudden shock behind us, and the overwhelming dust and smoke engulfed us. I really didn't have the strength to run anymore, and I fell to the ground with a "poof", and I could only open my mouth and breathe hard like a fish that suffocated after leaving the water, regardless of how much dust was inhaled in my lungs.
This rush almost cost me my life, and I was terrified for a while when I thought of the stones falling from the passage.
After a few minutes, the dust settled, and a deep pit appeared behind us. Everyone rested for more than ten minutes, and then they felt a little relieved, and immediately took out the kettle, and poured half a pot of water into their stomachs when they looked up.
I walked back to take a look at the passage that collapsed more than ten meters away, and the passage entrance was gone, leaving only a deep ditch of hundreds of meters.
Looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, I couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
How did you get out? What is this place? It was empty, and there was nothing to be seen. The ground beneath our feet was like a sun-dried pond, with the edges of the dry soil cracking into patches rolling upward, but when we stepped on it, we found that it was all sand underneath, and with each step, our shoes would sink a few inches into the ground.
What the hell is this place? Are we safe to come out?
I said to both of them, "What now?" We came to find the mysterious ancient city, but we came out inexplicably, and now we can't go back and change our path. ”
Li Dong looked up at the crescent moon at this time, and then stretched out his hand to quickly calculate, and before half a minute was up, he stopped.
I hurriedly asked, "How?" What's the point? ”
Li Dong sighed: "The situation has not improved, I still can't count anything." ”
I asked him, "What do you mean?" Are you saying it's still within the formation? ”
