I touched my pocket, fortunately, the flashlight was still there, but at this time, the flashlight was also insufficient, so I turned on the flashlight and shone it down, "Lantern Festival!" Lantern Festival! Where are you? "I didn't even call a few times.

I don't know exactly how deep this steep slope is, which makes me a little anxious. I tore a piece of cloth from my clothes, bandaged my injured left hand, and then I followed the rattan to the bottom of the steep slope and began to look for traces of the Lantern Festival.

Fortunately, the further down this steep slope, the denser the vegetation cover, which adds a lot of convenience to me. I climbed a rattan or a tree branch, and soon reached the bottom of the steep slope.

By this time, the sky was getting brighter and the visibility was getting better, and now I could see everything around me without the help of a flashlight.

At the bottom of the steep slope is a slightly gentle flat land, and further on, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat, after a very narrow section of flat land, and then there is a cliff, at this time the sky is not yet light, the cliff is covered with clouds, I can't see how deep the cliff is, but as far as I can see, the part I can see is more than fifty meters, and I don't know how deep it is. If I hadn't stopped the falling body just now, I would have been crushed if I fell!

Seeing this scene, my heart immediately tightened, Lantern Festival! Where is he! This kid won't really fall, will he?

I hurried down from the rattan branches and searched the bottom of the steep slope. Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to see the figure of Lantern Festival, this kid was really lucky, his fat body was entangled in these dense rattans and branches below, and he was hung there like a zongzi.

I climbed up cautiously and found that Lantern Festival had fainted, a large lump on the forehead, and there were blood stains, and the clothes on my body were torn several times.

I stepped forward and found that he was breathing steadily, it shouldn't be a big problem, I pinched his middle man, and Lantern Xiao quickly woke up, "Huh? What's wrong? Are we still alive? ”

I shook my head, "No, you're dead, I'll pay my respects to you!" ”

Lantern Xiao was stunned, and then came back to his senses, "Your uncle, don't come to this set!" Quick, help me down! ”

It took me a lot of effort to free Lantern Xiao from the rattan branches, and Lantern Xiao sat on the ground, panting heavily, "Damn! Along the way, I fell to death! ”

I patted him, "Alright, anyway, we should have escaped the ghost wall!" ”

I sat on the ground with Lantern Xiao and rested for a while, and by the way, I calmed down the mood that had just escaped, in fact, in this case, emotions and a stable mood are very important. People are prone to make wrong judgments when they are impatient and impulsive, and in many cases, especially in the process of inverting the fight, mistakes sometimes mean irreparable.

After so many inverted experiences, I have also been flustered and reckless at the beginning of danger, and now I can basically control my emotions.

In fact, on the whole, the location where Lantern Festival and I are now should be halfway up a mountain. Although the place is a bit cool, however, the view is still very nice. It was really an amazing feeling to watch the rolling mountains turn from hazy to clear, and we were sitting in the middle of a cliff, and was it a small reward that the mountains gave us after we had experienced a catastrophe?

After the sky dawned, Lantern Xiao and I patted our butts and got up and continued to move forward. I really didn't expect to encounter such a thing here, I thought it was a simple thing, but it almost cost us our lives. It is precisely because of this that we need to get a result that is worthy of these sins that we have suffered.

By this time we were already able to tell the direction, and it was a coincidence that the narrow road in the middle of the cliff we were in was the direction that the old man pointed out to us at the mountain pass.

So, Lantern Xiao and I continued along the road under our feet, looking at the towering steep slope above, and the steep forehead cliff below, a gust of mountain wind blew, making me a little dizzy, I hurriedly closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and forced myself not to look down.

As I walked, I couldn't help but wonder about the path under my feet, how it came to be, and if it was a natural formation, then it was amazing. But if it was built by man, then what was the purpose of building such a road?

Unconsciously, I began to pay attention to the situation around the path, and soon under the cover of a field of weeds, I found traces of man-made construction, which at least showed that the road was artificially repaired, if not completely man-made, on the basis of the original.

The Lantern Festival in front found that I didn't follow, but squatted behind, so he walked back and asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

I pointed out what I had just found to him, "Look at the traces left by these people, this road must have been built for at least a few hundred years, maybe thousands of years, in short, the years are not short!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at the traces I said, and then asked, "What do these mean?" ”

I said to him, "A road that has existed for so long is still built in this kind of place, and it cannot be walked on by people, because it is better to walk on the mountain beams." Therefore, there are generally only two possibilities, the first is the plank road used for war transportation. But the road we are walking on is too narrow compared to the plank road, and there is no way to transport grain and grass materials from this road. So there is only another possibility left. ”

Lantern Xiao asked, "What is it?" ”

Because in addition to some traces of construction, we also found some square holes that had been punched into the cliff wall, so I continued: "If it is not for military use, it is for the people, and there is such a place that indicates that the ancients once carried out a project here," I said, pointing to the round holes in the cliff wall, "This is the hole that the ancient people used to install the winch and cut out." ”

Lantern Xiao listened attentively, and I asked him, "In such an inaccessible deep mountain, what kind of big project can make people willing to spend so much effort, not hesitating to use a winch, and even dig a special road." After saying this, Lantern Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked at me with wide eyes, and jumped up suddenly, "Zhuo Ran, in this way, there is only one possibility left!" That's it!! I've thought of it, have you thought of it? "Lantern Festival is excited and dancing.

I glanced at him with some disdain, "Nonsense, I've thought of it a long time ago, and the reason why I don't want to say it is because of your unproductive appearance!" Can you calm down and don't get involved in this kind of thing, it's like being beaten with chicken blood! ”

Lantern Xiao smiled, "I'm sorry, I have an innate fanaticism in my heart for this kind of thing, I can't help it!" As he spoke, Lantern Xiao asked, "Hey, am I right, is there an ancient tomb here?" ”

I nodded, "That's right, judging from the situation here, the road that appeared here, and the traces left by the winch next to it." And this place is under the mountain beam, although it is not a real dragon vein, but from the direction of feng shui, there is also a certain dragon shape, which can be barely classified into the category of treasure caves, so I estimate that there must be an ancient tomb near here. The road, along with the winch originally installed here, was used to transport construction materials. ”

Hearing me say this, Lantern Xiao's eyes immediately lit up, "Then let's go quickly, I didn't expect there to be an unexpected gain this time." ”

Seeing Lantern Xiao's high mood, I really couldn't bear to splash him with cold water, but I still said: "What about this matter, don't have too much hope, after all, this place was discovered by my second uncle first, you think about it, with his character and ability level, if there is really an ancient tomb here, he will never let it go." ”

When Lantern Xiao heard my words, she was stunned, "Damn!" Really, I didn't expect to be cut off by your second uncle this time. ”

I snorted coldly, "You don't feel sorry for what you say, if it weren't for my second uncle, it would be absolutely impossible to find this place with the level of the two of us!" ”

Lantern Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "That's the same, but since you're here, you still have to go over and have a look." ”

I nodded in agreement, and then said to Lantern Xiao: "It's okay to see, but our main purpose this time is to find the land temple, don't delay the business because of a second-hand ancient tomb." ”

Lantern Xiao waved his hand and walked forward, "Okay, okay, got it!" ”

Lantern Xiao and I walked a little further and found that the path below the steep slope had come to an end. We ripped open the branches and vines in front of us, and a hole appeared in front of us, which was blocked by a large stone. However, seeing the gap between the stone block and the cave wall, it is obvious that this place has been opened.

Lantern Xiao squatted in front of the cave entrance and looked at it, "It seems that someone has really been here." ”

I looked at Lantern Xiao and ignored him, and said in my heart that this is not nonsense.

I stepped forward and pushed, because it had been opened, so as soon as I used my strength, the stone moved a little, I turned around and beckoned Lantern Festival to help, and the two of us pushed this sealing stone into some of it, revealing a dark gap.

This hole is not very big, it is almost half a person high, and if you go in, you can only bend down and squat forward.

We crouched down at the entrance of the cave and looked inside, and the passage inside turned a corner after a while, so we couldn't see too deep.

Lantern Xiao pushed me, "Hey, can't you get in?" ”

"Come in," I said, pulling out my flashlight, "now that we're at the door, I'm going to have to take a look." ”

So Lantern Festival and I went one after the other, turned on the flashlight and bent down to get in.

If this is an ancient tomb, it is impossible to have a simple sealing measure of sealing a stone at the entrance of a cave, it should have a tomb wall, even if it is built by digging a mountain, then at least there should be a stone or diamond earth.

But from the time we came in until now, the passage has been moving forward, all the way open, and there is no obstacle. Not only me, but Lantern Xiao also saw this problem, "Zhuo Ran, did you say that this ancient tomb is a little too easy to enter?" ”

I nodded, "The easier it is, the more we should not take it lightly and beware of changes." ”
