Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 31 Meet the Young Man Again
Although the entrance to this cave is wide, it is not really deep, and we soon reached the bottom of the cave. What caught our attention was that on the hard mountain at the bottom of the cave, several cracks, large and small, were naturally formed. The small one is about ten centimeters wide, and the widest crack is not even sideways when the Lantern Festival enters.
It was clear that the person who came down from the climbing rope must have gotten into a crack. And the kind of cracks that people of average size can get into, there are about two or three. We took a closer look and decided to go into the widest crevasse. The reason why the widest one was chosen was because for a person of Lantern Festival's size, only the widest one could go in. Of course, there is a more important reason, and that is that we found a footprint in front of that crack.
We looked through the crack with a flashlight, and it was pitch black. The two of us walked carefully inside, and our feet felt relatively flat, and there were obvious signs of being trimmed. The rock walls that plunged deep into the darkness on both sides gave us a great sense of oppression, as if they were going to suddenly bump into each other at any moment and squeeze us into meatloaf. "Lantern Festival, where do you say this gap will lead?"
"I don't know, I feel that this crack has been artificially moved, and it probably leads to somewhere deep in the mountain."
"Deep in the mountains? There will be no treasure! "I suddenly remembered the scene in the movie.
Lantern Xiao shook her head, "I think it's very likely to be an ancient tomb!" ”
"In that case, the people who came down from the climbing rope are here to rob the grave?"
"Possibly, but, huh? Why is there no road ahead! Lantern Xiao said in surprise.
"No way?" I squeezed over to take a look, and sure enough, a flat stone wall stood in front of me. "How can there be a stone wall here! What about the people who come down from the climbing ropes? Is there no one at all? ”
"Maybe we guessed wrong, maybe someone came down, but it's very likely that they found it dead end, so they left again." Lantern Xiao reached out and touched the wall, "This stone wall is built by man!" It seems that I guessed correctly, this is a tomb wall, and behind this stone wall is an ancient tomb. ”
"Really!" The strong hunting mentality made me impulsively want to go in and have a look, "Lantern Festival, let's smash the wall and go in and have a look!" The tomb built in this kind of place must have a lot of good things in it! ”
When Lantern Xiao heard this, he pouted, "Do you think I don't want to?" Smash the wall in! You say it lightly, do you know how thick this curtain wall is in general? How hard is it? Without special means, it is impossible to get in at all. As he spoke, Lantern Xiao took out a sapper shovel and knocked on the tomb wall, making a "dangdang" sound. "In my opinion, let's give up. Go back to the entrance of the cave and see if the climbing rope is still there, if not, let's climb up along the rope and see, maybe we can find a way out. ”
"Wait!" The "dangdang" sound of the Lantern Festival knocking on the wall just now made me hear a little problem. I asked the Lantern Festival to knock a few more times, and I listened carefully.
After listening, I said to Lantern Xiao: "This wall is not as thick as you said. And it's hollow! ”
"Come on, you! Big brother, this is a tomb wall, it is used to prevent theft, how can it be hollow! To save on materials? Lantern Xiao was a little disapproving, "Besides, how can you be so sure, your ears are X-rays!" Do you have specific kinetic energy? ”
"It's not a special function, but there is something special about my ears." I only discovered this situation after I went to university, because I studied ancient Chinese civil engineering technology, although it is relatively unpopular in society, but for the restoration of ancient buildings, my major is indeed very suitable. Therefore, I often participate in some internships in the restoration of ancient buildings. Over time, I found that I could tell the inside of an object just by tapping on it, for example, by tapping on the wall of an ancient building to determine how loose it was. By striking the ancient wooden columns, you can determine whether there are insect pillars inside. After the verification of the progress of the project, the accuracy rate of my ear hearing judgment is 100%, and I have never missed. But I never said it to anyone because this skill is really useless in real life.
Lantern Xiao listened to my words and was very surprised: "Why haven't I heard you talk about this ability!" You can be on that show called "Super Brain"! ”
I waved my hand, "What's the use of that!" ”
"How useless! Not now! ”
"Holy! How did I think I would have such an experience in my life! ”
"Alright, alright!" Lantern Xiao picked up the sapper shovel and replaced it with a hammer fitting, "In this case, I'll try to smash it, if it is smashed, our brothers will make a fortune!" As he spoke, Lantern Xiao spat twice on his hand, and was about to smash the sapper shovel down.
At this moment, suddenly a loud shout came from our heads: "Stop! ”
Both of us were startled by this sudden voice, and Lantern Xiao stopped his movements abruptly, holding his waist with one hand and shouting loudly to the top: "Who's on it!" When you shout to stop when you pick the hammer, it's easy to herniate in the waist, I don't know! ”
As soon as the Lantern Festival voice fell, I saw a person with his feet supporting the stone walls on both sides of the stone wall and slid down quickly from above, and landed firmly in front of the two of us, we fixed our eyes and saw that it was the young man who went up the mountain with us, and then arrived at the lama temple and left before us!
"It's you?!"
No way! Finally see him again! Countless questions came to my mind to ask him, who are you? What is your relationship with Confucius? Where did Kong Ye go? What are you doing here? What the hell is this place? A thousand words came to his lips, but the one sentence that came out was: "Why did you shout to stop just now?" ”
The young man looked at us, "If I don't stop, you're dead by now!" ”
"What!" We were both surprised to hear him say that.
Lantern Xiao said, "Really? Scare people, can there be explosives in this wall, I will blow it up when I knock it? ”
The young man squatted down and looked at the wall, "This wall is very hard, but it is extremely tough. The middle of the wall was empty, and it was filled with rubble. If you knock on it, the wall will crack and countless rocks, large and small, will roll down. ”
"What's this?" Lantern Xiao pouted, "We won't run!" ”
The young man smiled lightly, "Run? Look where you stand. ”
We looked down at our feet, and there were rocky mountains, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”
The young man shook his head and pulled out a short knife in his hand. When Lantern Xiao saw it, he hurriedly shoveled the sapper on his chest, "You... What do you want? Murder for money! ”
The young man smiled when he heard this, "If I want to kill someone, I won't be silent just now." As he spoke, he poked a hole in the stone under our feet, which was two fingers wide, and then pointed downwards and said, "See for yourselves!" ”
See? What are you looking at, is there something buried in the ground? We don't know why. I turned on the flashlight and squatted down to look down along the gap, followed by a stunned moment, and then looked closely, I was immediately frightened that my legs were weak and fell to the ground, and I kicked two steps in a row and leaned my body tightly against the stone wall, and the cold sweat and cold sweat on the corner of my forehead came down.
Lantern Xiao sneered, "What scares you like this?" Could it be that there is a dead man buried underground? Then I'm not afraid! Saying that, Lantern Xiao also squatted down and looked down along the gap with a flashlight, and after a closer look, he also exclaimed, and even sat with me on the pedal, leaning against the stone wall, and said tremblingly: "Damn! So our feet are empty! Just a few stones between the stone walls! Is this thing sturdy, don't move around, let's go back! ”
It turns out that the so-called road under our feet is actually a few strips of mountain stones stuck between the gaps, and under the strip stones is an abyss, but the gravel and dust cover it, and we have not found it.
The young man smiled faintly, "Don't worry, there is no danger in stepping on it!" But if you knock it down just now, it won't be necessarily, the large number of rocks that fall will break this balance, and then you won't have time to run and fall! ”
Lantern Xiao hugged his fist at the young man, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life!" Ask the young man to show me the way, we want to go home now! "In the end, I felt that the Lantern Festival was crying.
The young man smiled, opened his mouth and didn't speak, but suddenly his face changed, he turned around and leaned on the stone wall to listen, and said in a low voice: "Oops! ”
