The second uncle smiled bitterly, "Big nephew, after a turn, the problem is back to square one, just like what I said just now at Lantern Festival, who wants to lead their children to the road of inverted buckets?" ”

I was a little excited, "Second uncle, but look at this series of things, do you think I can still pull out!" ”

The second uncle sighed, bowed his head and was silent. When I saw that the second uncle was an old routine again, he pretended to be deaf and dumb when it came to key issues. I also sighed a little helplessly, and then said, "Second uncle, then I'll ask you another question." ”

Hearing me say this, the second uncle raised his head and said, "What questions can you ask?" ”

I said, "Why does the secret of the route here appear in the ancient tombs of the island and the underground royal tombs of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan?" What kind of connection does they have? ”

The second uncle nodded, "This question is indeed more complicated, but I can tell you, it's just that now is not the time to talk about this, we have been delayed here for too long, and the people below will be suspicious." ”

I was powerless to refute, so I had to nod, just as I was about to buckle the buckle around my waist on the mountaineering rope, the second uncle suddenly stopped me again, "Big nephew, what do you think of the Lantern Festival this time, well...... Second Uncle hesitated for a moment and said, "How is the Lantern Festival?" Seeing that I hesitated, he continued, "I mean, can he be trusted?" ”

Hearing the second uncle ask this, in fact, my heart was a little unhappy, after all, after returning from Gurbantunggut, Lantern Festival and I were born and died many times, and experienced dangers. I trust Lantern Festival completely and unconditionally now, even more than I did at the beginning. However, I also understand that the second uncle's suspicion is not malicious, so he said: "Second uncle, I understand what you mean, I think there is absolutely no problem with this Lantern Festival, I have always been with him, and he can't and doesn't have the opportunity to betray things." ”

The second uncle nodded and smiled, "Okay, I know, after all, he used to be from the Tang family, so ...... But when you say that, I'm relieved. ”

I listened to the second uncle's words, and immediately asked, "Second uncle, do you suspect that there is still the Tang family behind this?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "I'm just guessing, after all, Tang Zhendong's death can't shake the foundation of the Tang family at all." After speaking, the second uncle patted me, "Okay, let's go!" ”

This time, I finally fastened the buckle around my waist to the climbing rope, I put on my gloves and held the climbing rope tightly, but when I looked back at the bottom of the cliff, looking at the fog, imagining this bottomless sinkhole, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in my heart, and I looked up at the second uncle.

The second uncle found out that I was looking at him, so he asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I smiled bitterly, "Second uncle, I don't know what's behind this, but I want to know now, how can we go on like this, is it worth taking such a risk?" ”

The second uncle stared at me for a while, and then nodded heavily, "It's worth it!" ”

I smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll trust your old man!" With that, I jumped backwards and slid down the rope.

The buckle on my waist controlled the speed of the fall, so that I would not slide to the bottom at once, and I looked around me, the rock wall was very wet, and some grass and moss were growing very densely. The small waterfall formed by the small river above blew down a large amount of mist, and the splash formed by the water crashing against the raised rocks made me hang in mid-air as if a light rain was falling overhead.

I wiped a handful of water from my face, looked up at the Internet, and found that I don't know when, I couldn't see the upper edge of the sinkhole's rock wall. I felt like I had been falling for a long time, but when I looked down, I couldn't see the bottom of the sinkhole. What frightened me even more was that from time to time there would be a gust of wind blowing, and sometimes the wind was not small, so I was suspended in mid-air and the north wind was blowing around, which simply made my heart rise to my throat.

I didn't dare to look around, I retracted my gaze and only looked at the rock wall in front of me, but at the same time, I also found that there were many traces of artificial excavation on the rock wall, obviously the ancestors did not need to work as hard as us when they came down here, but the years have passed, and the things built here have long been decayed and weathered and disappeared.

After a little more descent on, I saw treetops around me, and I thought I was about to land, when I was thinking that suddenly a branch suddenly protruded from the tree and landed right in my ass. I grinned in pain, and then I looked down and found Lantern Xiao, Wenmo, and Anado standing below waiting for me.

As soon as I landed, Lantern Xiao complained while helping me untie my equipment: "I said that you are too slow, Sister has been down for a long time, and you just came down, we thought something happened to you!" ”

"Nope!" I shook my head and said, "It's just that there was something wrong with my buckle just now." The lies I told casually did not arouse their suspicions.

Soon the second uncle also came down, and when Lantern Xiao saw that we were all out safely, he walked to the edge of the cliff, grabbed the auxiliary rope, and pulled hard, and the knot between the main rope and the big tree above was pulled away at once. Lantern Xiao pulled the auxiliary rope hard, and the nearly 200-meter climbing rope slipped down all of a sudden, and smashed to the ground with a "bang".

The vegetation under this sinkhole is much denser than above, and the air humidity is very high, the fog is thicker, and there are all kinds of rotten branches and wet mud piled up under our feet, we step on it one foot deep and one foot shallow, this place has not been visited for thousands of years, the thickness of the accumulation can be imagined, fortunately, the deep part has hardened into a part of the ground, but the upper layer is still very soft, we walk on the soft ground, sometimes even a little unstable.

A few people gathered, we sorted out our equipment, looked around, in the lush jungle, dark and quiet, there was a smell of rot and dampness in the air, I was a little worried about whether the air here would be poisonous, but looking at Wen Mo and the second uncle's casual expressions, there must be no problem.

Due to the thick fog in the sinkhole when we were above just now, we couldn't see the situation below clearly, so we couldn't plan the route with the help of the condescending advantage.

I looked around and asked, "Which direction are we going?" "I originally asked this question to the second uncle, but the second uncle didn't speak.

Lantern Xiao took out the compass in his pocket and glanced at it, but suddenly exclaimed, "Damn!" ”

I hurried over to take a look, and found that the needle of the compass was constantly turning, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "Lantern Festival, your compass has become an electric fan!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked left and right, "It means that the magnetic field here is extremely chaotic!" After Anador saw it, she couldn't help frowning, "What's going on?" What changes the magnetic field here? ”

To be honest, the situation is not really serious. However, we couldn't help but have some changes, I couldn't help but worry about the rest of the journey, unexpectedly, as soon as we entered, this huge sinkhole gave us a dismount!

The second uncle thought for a while and said: "I think it's better for us to go in one direction and move towards the central position, and if we encounter any situation along the way, we will adapt to the situation, but everyone must be careful." After speaking, the second uncle looked at Wen Mo, "Wen Mo, what do you think?" ”

Wen Mo nodded, then stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, "Let's go this way, the trees on these two sides are not in the same state, and this side should be the scope of people's activities at the beginning." ”

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

And the three of us were completely stupid, I didn't expect Wenmo's eyesight to be so good, among these tangled trees and vegetation, we looked at it as a lump of green, and Wenmo could see the difference, this is ability!

As I walked, I asked the second uncle, "Second uncle, do you think the place we are looking for will be in this sinkhole?" As far as I know, most sinkholes are formed in soluble rock formations, and the bottom is usually connected to an underground river, or once did. Although judging from where we are now, the underground river here should have been rerouted and relocated, but did those ancestors really live here? ”

The second uncle smiled, "You still haven't turned a corner, we are not here to find out where they live, but where the things they left behind, and before coming, I also checked a lot of relevant information, among the 100,000 mountains, the altitude of Fujimen Mountain is very high, although it is not the highest peak, but its height is definitely ranked in the top three, but the geothermal source below it is very deep, and it is the deepest peak among all the peaks of the 100,000 mountains." ”

I didn't quite understand these terms that the second uncle said, so I asked, "What does this mean?" ”

The second uncle explained: "The high altitude but the low geothermal source shows that there are a lot of cavities and crevices under this mountain! And I think the underground river here has not been rerouted, but sunk! Speaking of this, the second uncle suddenly smiled, "The ancestors of ancient China always believed that the underground was the most suitable place to hide things!" Therefore, it is often said that more than half of the secrets of ancient China are still buried underground. ”

I have to say that the second uncle's analysis is also very reasonable, after all, there should not be a second one in a sinkhole of this scale, there should be no second one in the 100,000 mountains, so this is the most suitable place to be close to the underground cavity. The ancient ancestors at that time should have also discovered this problem.

As we progressed, we saw a lot of large stones scattered on the ground, apparently the remains of some kind of building, but I wondered where they had come from and how they had been transported.
