Chapter 7: The Secret Passage (2)

Ma Yun leaned into the cave with half of his body, resting while observing the situation in the cave. The entrance to the cave was relatively small, less than 1 meter in diameter, and he could barely get in, but the hole was much more spacious, about two meters high, and 1 meter wide on the left and right, so that he could stand up and walk. The cave is pitch black at first glance, and it seems to be very deep.

After resting for a while, Ma Yun also put his legs into the cave, stood up in the cave, and slowly walked a few meters with the help of the faint light at the entrance of the cave. It was too dark to go any further, so to be on the safe side, he turned and retreated.

The little monkey also entered the cave at some point, standing at the entrance of the cave and chirping at Ma Yun. Seeing that the cave was so dark, Ma Yun was thinking about whether he needed to make a torch, but then he had to go down the rope and climb up again, and it was really tiring to climb up and down. The little monkey rushed into the hole, passed by him, and quickly disappeared into the hole.

This little monkey in the cave doesn't know how many times it has gone, and Ma Yun doesn't have to worry about its accident at all. Lowered his head and drilled out of the hole, standing on the protruding rock by holding on to the rock wall, a distance of more than ten meters, and suddenly looked down and was still a little dizzy and weak. After standing on the rock wall for a few minutes, he barely got used to the current height, and his heart was not so panicked, and he dared to move slightly on the rock wall.

"Let's go down and make a torch, it's too dark in the cave. In the end, Jack Ma made a steady decision. Standing on the rock at this moment, the small tree wrapped in the straw rope was at the position of his shoulder, and he clearly saw that the long stone was wrapped around the root of the small tree several times, and finally stuck on a branch, the stuck was very strong, and there was no problem in climbing up and down.

Just as Ma Yun grabbed the grass rope and was about to go down, there was a rapid hissing sound of a little monkey behind him, as if something was wrong. He had to bend down again and retreat into the cave, and he was shocked by what he saw: he saw the little monkey holding a strange white fluorescent object in his hand, which was about half a foot long and as thick as a thumb, and was emitting a soft fluorescence, although it was not very bright, but it took a rough picture of the surroundings.

Seeing the stone, Ma Yun was startled at first, and then his face was happy, and something that he had often heard but had never seen flashed in his mind: fluorite. Before Jack Ma could make any moves, the little monkey jumped in front of him, lifted the glowing object above his head, craned his neck and watched him chirp. With such a move, Ma Yun didn't understand what it meant, and took the object with a smile.

The object was light to the touch, not as heavy as jade, and the surface was a little rough, like frost, but it had a warm feeling to the touch. If you look closely at it, except for the fluorescence emitted on the surface, the inside looks blurry and cloudy, and you can't see anything abnormal.

"Little monkey, thank you, this is probably fluorite, it comes in handy at this time, I will put away the straw rope and package. Ma Yun was worried that the fluorite would fall, so he put it on the ground in the cave, and then drilled out of the hole again, squatted there and pulled the grass rope, pulled up the package and gourd tied to the other end and put it in the hole, stood up again and untied the long stone stuck in the branch, and coiled the straw rope back into the hole.

After checking that nothing was missing, he carried the package on his back, straddled the straw rope over his shoulder, wrapped the gourd vine around his waist, picked up the fluorite on the ground and walked towards the cave. The little monkey was already impatient to wait, and as soon as Ma Yun moved, it rushed into the depths of the cave.

"I don't know where this little monkey is going to take me, and looking at the fruit and the insects he has brought these days, the food should be far more abundant than here, and it can even lead directly to the outside. At the thought of being able to get out of here, Ma Yun became excited, and hurriedly quickened his pace to follow.

The passage is longer than expected, Ma Yun remembers that he has turned several corners, fortunately it is just a turn, and there is no fork in the road, but there is no need to worry about the mystery road; as it continues to go deeper, the passage becomes wider and wider, and after turning a corner again, Ma Yun suddenly found that there is a light coming from in the distance.

"It's finally coming to an end. Ma Yun thought in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickened his pace towards the light. Soon arrived at the place where the light was, and everything in front of him shocked him: in front of him was a huge stone round hall, about three or four hundred square meters in circumference, more than twenty meters high. The periphery, ceiling and ground of the round hall are embedded with fluorite, the big ones are the size of watermelons, and the small ones are the size of the ones Ma Yun holds in his hand.

There are so many fluorites, unseen and unheard of! What a fortune it must be to mine all the fluorites in this hall and sell them! Ma Yun fantasized as he walked up to a fist-sized fluorite embedded in the ground, and broke it hard, trying to break the fluorite. As a result, the fluorite did not move at all, Ma Yun was unwilling, and kicked it hard, but it still did not move; In this way, I changed more than a dozen pieces of fluorite in a row, but I couldn't move a bit, so I died.

The little monkey didn't know when it appeared in the hall, with its arms folded and a strange look on its face. That look Ma Yun didn't taste in his eyes, wasn't that just a look of naked contempt! After the little monkey chirped a few times, he entered a hole on the side of the round hall, and Ma Yun had to reluctantly say goodbye to those fluorites. Not long after entering the passage, it became pitch black again, and the passage became narrower and narrower.

"It seems that it's coming to an end!" Ma Yun didn't miscalculate this time, after turning two corners, he could vaguely see a faint light ahead, and the light kept changing. At this time, the passage has become very low and narrow, Ma Yun is already bending forward, and when he reaches a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, he can only crawl forward, but fortunately he has seen the exit, and he should be able to drill out after visually inspecting it, and hurriedly accelerated the crawling speed.

At this moment, the little monkey stood at the exit, turning his head and dancing his claws, as if communicating something. The constantly changing light I saw just now should be caused by the little monkey's constant body change. As if he had spotted Ma Yun crawling over, the little monkey suddenly jumped to the side of the cave and disappeared. Ma Yun sped up and finally climbed to the entrance of the cave, but he stuck out his head and looked out, startled.

The distance between the entrance of the cave and the ground was higher, almost thirty meters, and what was even more terrifying was that there were many monkeys gathered on the ground, densely packed, and when his head poked out of the hole, all the monkeys looked at him. "Damn, why did you get to the monkey's den!" The situation outside was a little different from what he originally imagined, and it would be difficult to accept it for a while.

Just as he was in his hands, the disappeared little monkey suddenly grabbed a rattan and hung down at the mouth of the hole, chattering at him. "Forget it, if you come, then you will be safe, then go down first, I haven't heard of monkeys eating people. But this hole can only climb out, and it is so high from the ground, how can it go down. ”

While he was trying to figure it out, the little monkey kept shaking the rattan at the entrance of the cave, going up and down for a while, and then disappearing, and after a while, he grabbed a rattan from nowhere and hung it at the mouth of the cave.

Looking at the two thumb-thick rattans hanging in front of him, Ma Yun felt as if he understood the meaning of the little monkey. Teeth bite the shoulders and arms out of the hole, first look up, only to see that the top is extremely high, at a glance can not see the top, the field of vision is crawling full of staggered rattan, the two rattans in front of him are extended from a pile of interlaced rattan, it looks quite strong, the little monkey is grabbing those rattans at the moment and jumping around; and then look down, the two rattans drooped down more than ten meters and then stuck to the rock wall, I don't know if it has reached the ground. Ma Yun tugged the two rattans with both hands, only pulled them down a little and bounced them back, and then swung the rattan vigorously, and the rattan that originally hung down against the rock wall also swung with it, and as the swing reached the tail, Ma Yun confirmed that the rattan was almost to the ground.

After thinking for a while, he laboriously took down the straw rope on his shoulder, and the left side of the hole was also staggered with a few thick rattans, and he couldn't pull it with his arm, so he tied one end of the straw rope to the intersection of the rattans, and the other end was tied to his chest, so that with the two rattans hanging in front of him, there were three places where he could exert himself, and it was a lot safer.

Ma Yun grabbed the two rattans in front of him with both hands, and dragged his body out of the hole completely with a little force, the two rattans fell a short distance and stabilized, Ma Yun's heart was a little settled, and his two arms and legs were tightly wrapped around the two rattans, sliding down a little bit. Originally, Ma Yun was afraid of heights at a distance of more than 30 meters, but after poking his head out for a long time, he gradually got used to it, and the feeling of discomfort disappeared.

It was relatively easy to slide down the rattan, and soon it was about 20 meters down, and the length of the straw rope was at the end, so Ma Yun had to loosen the straw rope on his chest and continue to slide along the rattan. The moment he landed on his feet, his tense nerves relaxed, and the feeling was wonderful.

But before he could experience the sensation, he gasped at the sound of a loud and noisy group of monkeys: countless monkeys surrounded him in a semicircle, with the mountain wall behind him. The monkeys are big and small, the big ones can be up to two meters tall, and Ma Yun has never seen such a huge monkey; The monkeys seemed to be thrilled to see him, and their eyes were full of fanaticism.

"You monkey heroes, you have something to say, but I really don't understand what you say. Just as he was at a loss, a loud roar came from behind the monkeys, and the noisy monkeys immediately fell silent, and all the monkeys crouched on the ground. The group of monkeys facing Ma Yun automatically separated and made a way.

I saw three monkeys standing not far away, one was the little monkey; the middle monkey was extremely strong, about two meters high, carrying a wooden stick with a thick bowl mouth on its shoulder, and the roar came from its mouth; next to it stood an old monkey with an old dragon bell but a snow-white body, when the old monkey saw Ma Yun, his originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned sideways and hissed a few times at the strong monkey.

After listening to the screams of the snow-white monkey, the strong monkey seemed to be very happy, and waved the stick in the air excitedly, and it calmed down after a while, and then he actually grinned at Ma Yun with an anthropomorphic smile of the monkey's mouth, and Ma Yun felt a chill when he saw it. The strong monkey roared loudly at the monkey squatting on the ground a few more times, lowered his head and gestured to the little monkey a few times, and then left with the snow-white old monkey, making Ma Yun confused.
