Chapter 452: Mysterious Crater
At this time, it was already more than ten o'clock at night, the sky was full of stars outside, the sound of insects chirping, and a cool breeze blowing, which made people feel very comfortable.
We took the flashlight, and under the leadership of Mr. Chen, we went around to the back of the yard. Originally, we thought that the crater was only a few meters at most, but when we actually saw it, we couldn't help but be surprised - this crater was so big, half the size of a football field, and the middle of the crater seemed to be very deep.
It is said that such a large crater will store some water, but this crater is full of stones, not only has there is no water, but there is not even a single grass.
"Mr. Chen, why isn't there even a single grass here, and there won't be any nuclear radiation or anything like that?" Hongmei asked worriedly.
"Well, in fact, when they see that there are no plants in this pit, many people have this kind of worry, however, it has been tested by authoritative institutions, this fallen meteorite, without any radiation, and at the moment of hitting the ground, due to the huge energy, it produced an extremely high temperature, and the surrounding rocks had a chemical reaction, so that in this stone pit, a special mineral was formed, this mineral, can destroy chlorophyll, therefore, plants can not photosynthesize, so there is no grass, However, this mineral is harmless to the human body, and if dissolved in water, it can also cure skin diseases. ”
Hearing Mr. Chen say this, everyone is relieved.
We shone a flashlight and found that the stones in the pit were all dark red, a bit like the color of bricks, but when we knocked them with our hands, they were as hard as steel.
"How can I cut off the block, I want to take it away as a souvenir, how precious the meteorite is." I picked up a stone from it and said as I knocked it.
Mr. Chen looked at me and couldn't help laughing: "Ha, young man, you don't have to knock, this kind of reddened stone is not a meteorite, but after the meteorite falls, the huge energy released produces high temperature, and under the action of high temperature, the original stone here turns red." The real meteorite is more than thirty or forty meters deep below. ”
We were all taken aback, thirty or forty meters? It is equivalent to the height of a twenty-story building, however, this pit is not steep, and it has been buried by stones more than ten meters downward, and Mr. Chen said that if you want to contact the meteorite, you must use a drill bit to drill down, and the personnel of the Institute of Geology used this method to take some samples from the meteorite for research.
It seems that we can't see the real meteorite, but what makes us wonder is, if the old man is blind, what is he looking for in this crater?
When we were checking the crater, I don't know why, the "monkey eagle" in Ouyang's old man's arms, suddenly screamed, soared into the air, we were all surprised, and hurriedly used a flashlight to shine on the "monkey eagle", only to see the "monkey eagle" hovering slightly, then spread its wings and flew into the distance, we all know that there must be something wrong with this, so everyone hurriedly crawled out of the pit and ran behind the "monkey eagle".
The "Monkey Eagle" flew behind a boulder, about 20 meters away from us, and before we could run over, we heard a crackling sound behind the boulder. Who is hiding behind the rocks in the middle of the night, in the depths of this mountain?
And when we ran over, we didn't see anyone, only the "monkey eagle" standing on a rock, clutching a white cloth on its talons.
We walked over and took a closer look at the white cloth, which was an ordinary white cloth, and from the sound of the fight just now, we could completely conclude that this white cloth was grabbed from a person, and there were fresh blood stains on the white cloth, and it seemed that the "monkey eagle" had the upper hand.
"Does this white cloth look like it was torn from the white robe of the tall blind man?" As soon as Xiao Lei reminded us of this, we immediately remembered, yes, this is indeed very similar to the fabric on the white robe of a tall blind man.
The tall blind man was hiding here just now? This somewhat shocked us, supposedly, he is now in the weakest period of the meridians, and it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to attack us. So why is he hiding here?
"That person just now, is he blind?" Just when everyone was puzzled, Old Man Ouyang asked "Monkey Eagle" directly. And the "Monkey Eagle" has already seen the "High Blind Man" in that well-shaped canyon, so, with the intelligence of the "Monkey Eagle", it should know the High Blind Man.
But I didn't expect it to be, the "Monkey Eagle" screamed a few times, shook its head again and again, at this time, we noticed that the "Monkey Eagle" seemed to be a little wrong, only to see it closed its eyes in pain, and some water flowed out of its nose, what is wrong?
After a long while, the "Monkey Eagle" spit out a few words with difficulty, although the piece of meat in its throat had fallen off, but we still didn't hear what it said, only the old man Ouyang understood-those words were "I didn't see, I didn't smell".
What does that mean? Did you not see the man's face or smell the man's scent?
The madman walked over, separated one eye of the "monkey eagle", and found that the "monkey eagle" had red eyes, twitched his nose again, sniffed in the air and said: "This is a special medicine used when catching birds, as long as it is blown with a special tube, it will quickly drift in the air, and the general bird smells, it will immediately fall to the ground softly, this medicine was invented by a vassal king named Zhu Leting during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, he was obsessed with playing with all kinds of birds all his life, so, with the help of a doctor, developed this bird catching medicine, this medicine, It can directly affect the bird's eye and nose veins, and make the bird dizzy and fall to the ground immediately, but when people smell it, it is just a faint fragrance. However, after all, the "monkey eagle" is not an ordinary bird, it is extremely resistant to pesticides, after she smelled it, it was not paralyzed on the ground like an ordinary bird, and the combat effectiveness is still undiminished, but the eyes and nose are affected, it doesn't matter, go back and I will give it some medicine, and then acupuncture, it is estimated that there will be no big problem. ”
Hearing him say this, Old Man Ouyang seemed to be a lot more relieved.
Although the "monkey eagle" couldn't see or smell that person, according to these signs, we probably have judged that the person hiding behind the stone just now should be a blind man, and it seems that he seems to be very interested in this crater, why is this?
Seeing that it was not early, this kind of thing happened again, and everyone had to go back.
This night, although we slept in Mr. Chen's east room, but because the blind man appeared around, Xiao Lei and I took turns to keep vigil on duty, but fortunately, the night was fine, after a few days of tossing, everyone finally slept peacefully.
On the second day, after a night's rest, everyone's fatigue in the past few days was swept away, and after a short discussion, we decided to use Mr. Chen's place as a base to "go to war" with the blind man and those Japanese.
Because we have limited time, we can only take the initiative to attack, and we must not go back to the city to rest, that would be even more disadvantageous to us, besides, this is still the time when the meridians of the high blind man are the weakest.
In the early morning at breakfast, the satellite phone brought by the female translator rang, it was her two Japanese female assistants called, since that time in the hotel, they have lost contact, until now, finally get in touch again.
We talked to my cousin because we had no news in the past few days, so my cousin was very anxious, and when he heard that we were all right, he was relieved.
We told my cousin about the past few days, but when we heard that our current residence was near a crater in the mountains, for some reason, my cousin seemed very surprised, and said that he would come over immediately, join us, and deal with the blind man and the Japanese together.
Of course, this is something we can't ask for, and with my cousin's mind and wisdom, if he can participate in the action together, we will definitely be like a tiger with wings.
When we were worried about how to get my cousin here, he said that he knew where we were and would come with two Japanese assistants. It makes us wonder how my cousin knew about this location. Has he been here before?
Originally, we thought that although it was not far from the city in a straight line, we would have to walk around the mountains, so my cousin would not arrive until at least tomorrow afternoon.
But what shocked us was that at about five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone suddenly saw that my cousin and two Japanese female assistants appeared in the courtyard, and we couldn't believe our eyes!
Although I have been separated from my cousin for a few days, because I have experienced too many things in the past few days, and I have faced the desperate situation of life and death several times, I feel like I am separated from each other when I meet at this time.
After meeting, although there were a thousand words, but I didn't know where to start, therefore, everyone didn't speak, but everyone hugged their cousin, Hongmei and Sister Li hugged their cousin, and cried, like a wronged child, suddenly saw their parents, and the cousin didn't speak, just gently patted their backs, which was a kind of comfort.
After a long while, everyone's feelings slowly calmed down, and we all know that now is not the time to slack off, and the challenges we are about to face may be greater and more dangerous, but we have no choice but to continue to rush forward.
Subsequently, we introduced my cousin to Kenya, Mr. and Mrs. Chen, as well as Old Man Ouyang, about their situation, we have already told my cousin on the satellite phone.
Mr. Chen and his cousin are both engaged in research, although the fields of research are different, they are both old intellectuals, and they are about the same age, so they are very close to each other as soon as they meet.
"How did you get from the city so quickly? It's two days to get here. Mr. Chen asked while pouring tea for his cousin, which was also a common question for everyone.
My cousin was always so calm and steady, and he smiled unhurriedly and said, "Ha, it was nearly twenty years ago, and I studied this area for almost a year, and found a shortcut road to the city, and that road was actually a cave through the mountain; Most of the cave is naturally formed, and a small part is artificially built, and if you pass through that one, you can go directly to the winding mountain road after eight or nine miles of road. If you take the ordinary road, I am afraid that you will have to detour forty or fifty miles more than the mountain road, which will be too time-consuming and laborious. ”
"Oh, really? There is such a secret passage, old man, after knowing this secret passage, it will be much more convenient for us to contact the outside world in the future", Mr. Chen's wife said excitedly.
Mr. Chen also nodded happily.
The madman pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you mean when you just said that most of the cave that passes through the mountain is naturally formed, and a small part is artificially built?" Could it be that like the caves in the valley, they were also fortifications built by the Japanese? Because it's so close to the valley. ”
My cousin shook his head slightly and said, "The cave I walked through was not built by the Japanese, but was opened in ancient times, because this is a big tomb in ancient times, and the fortifications built by the Japanese are also related to the big tomb in ancient times." ”
After listening to my cousin's words, all of us were taken aback, how could this be? That cave was obviously built with modern equipment, how could it be related to the ancient tomb?
