Chapter 3 Divine Mine

Everyone went out of the gate of the school hall, bought a few baked cakes on the side to solve lunch, and then rushed to the mountain pass in the south of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The destination of this trip is the Ghost Cry Pit, which many people in Cliff City believe to harbor hoodoos.

The name of the ghost shouting pit comes from the legend, it is said that thousands of years ago, you can often hear the cry for help from inside, eerie and terrifying, like a ghost shouting, and then people use stones to suppress the mouth of the pit, the inexplicable sound did not stop immediately, and it took many years before it finally calmed down.

This pit has long been almost forgotten, and a few days ago, the boulder that filled the mouth of the pit suddenly fell, which reminded the people of Cliff City of this secret that was almost annihilated.

Several groups of people have come to investigate, but the ghost shouting pit is too deep, and no one dares to go down to see what is going on.

Zhang Feng consulted the official historical records of Cliff City and concluded that the Ghost Shouting Pit was actually a ruined divine mine in ancient times. He suspected that there might be a treasure in it, so he took the initiative to ask the female general to go down to the pit to take a look.

The female general gladly approved, and gathered a team of men to give him courage.

The so-called courage is nothing more than helping to watch the wind at the mouth of the pit. No one is willing to accompany him down, after all, this pit is too mysterious, and only a guy like Zhang Feng who is not afraid of death is willing to take the risk.

When she came to the edge of the pit, the female general made her words clear: "White face, you have to think carefully if you can't go down, if you can't come up, don't expect us to save you." ā€

Zhang Feng knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "If I can't come up, you don't have to save me, as long as you come here from time to time to worship me." ā€

The female general frowned slightly, and kicked him lightly, "How can you speak? Since you don't know the bottom of your heart, then don't go down." ā€

Zhang Feng knew that she was paying attention to herself, and his heart warmed, and he grinned, "Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person." I've already explored this place, you look at the pit wall, is it very similar to the divine mine in the textbook illustrations? The history books of Cliff City mention the divine mine, but there is no mention of the location, I estimate that the eight achievements are here, since it is a divine mine, then there is nothing to be afraid of. ā€

He tied the rope into a dead knot with an old purple qiao nearby and threw the other end into the pit.

The thick hemp rope hung down quickly. The bundle of rope was more than 200 meters long, but it was uncertain whether it could reach the bottom of the pit.

He looked into the pit for a moment, then raised his head and squinted at the sky, spat and rubbed his hands, and the cat bent down and began to crawl down the hemp rope into the pit.

Not far from the pit, I saw two rows of round holes by the white light that penetrated in, and those holes were as thick as an arm, neatly arranged, extending downward. If the estimate is good, this should be the traces left by the previous installation of the ladder, but the ladder has long been disassembled.

Climbing further down, the light gradually faded, and then fell into darkness.

He carried an animal skin bag on his back, in which was a fire fold, and a bamboo tube filled with pine oil, but at this time he could not spare his hands to take it, not to mention that the hemp rope was to burn when it was fired, and it would be bad if the rope was burned.

So he could only crawl down in the dark.

There was a cold and damp air in the pit, and his face froze. He was afraid of the cold since he was a child, and he also wore an animal skin jacket during the hot season. The cold snap in the pit was unpleasant for him at the moment, which was unexpected, and he was completely unprepared for it.

He sighed secretly, but instead of giving up, he managed to speed up, ripped off his sleeve with his mouth, covered his palm, and slid straight down with a false grip on the hemp rope.

I don't know how long it took, the soles of his feet finally hit the ground, he seemed to be in an ice cellar, his heart was cold, his teeth chattered, and he couldn't stop at all.

Looking up, the light at the mouth of the pit was still white, and he could clearly see his companions probing their brains at the edge of the pit, and he shouted, "I have reached the bottom of the pit, it is not very deep, you can also come down and take a look." ā€

The sound echoed through the pit, and when it came up, it was so muffled that no one could hear it clearly.

The dolls above didn't know what they said to him, and he didn't understand.

Instead of communicating with his companions, he lit a fire fold and began to explore the pit. There is a horizontal hole at the bottom of the pit that connects to the straight well, and the boulder that used to fill the mouth of the pit almost blocked the horizontal hole, but fortunately, there is still a crack left, which can barely be squeezed into.

The hole is also round, about three meters in diameter, and it is completely able to walk upright in it, but the walls of the cave are wet and have an unpleasant smell of mold and rot, and the taste of walking in it is quite unpleasant.

What's even more difficult is the chill, no different from the cold season, relatively speaking, the jacket sewn from wolf skin on his body is really thin.

He was a little anxious, and trotted forward with the fire fold.

After running for about two hundred meters, he faintly saw a line of white light in front of him, and he immediately thought of the night pearl he had seen in the textbook, which was a necessary object in the divine mine, used to illuminate the mine, according to legend, it was left by the outer gods, because there were many of them, so it was not unusual, but it was still difficult for ordinary people to see.

He was overjoyed, quickened his pace, and ran another two or three hundred meters, when suddenly it dawned in front of him, and he entered a huge underground cave.

Before I could see what was going on inside, a voice from the dark side came: "I didn't think you were still alive." ā€

He was shocked, and the fire fold in his hand couldn't hold it for a while, and it fell to the damp ground.

If he simply fell into darkness, but there was indeed a night pearl in the cave, which made the cave white, and he suddenly saw many bones lying in the cave, which really scared him a lot.

As soon as his leg was weak, he almost fell, but when he stood firm, he turned around and ran away.

In fact, he had seen a lot of bones before, and when he was ten years old, he once walked alone into the Valley of the Dead, which was a heavenly burial place, and there were piles of dead people's bones in the valley, and I don't know how many more than in this cave.

After all, he had seen the world, and he didn't run far, but he slowly regained his composure, and concluded that the inexplicable voice just now did not come from ghosts, but was very similar to the spiritual thoughts of the spirit beasts mentioned in the textbook.

The voice was empty, the height was unknown, the men and women were not distinguished, and the people were not distinguished, and they pierced directly into the heart, so it was particularly eerie and terrifying, very similar to the record in the textbook.

He decided to go back to the cave to see what was going on, but he didn't even light the fire fold, turned back and walked cautiously towards the white glow, and re-entered the cave. This time, he finally saw the scene in the cave clearly, where it was thousands of meters square, the size of the hero platform in the city, but only ten meters high, so the whole space seemed very depressing.

Look carefully, in fact, it is not a cave, the cave wall is full of traces of artificial excavation, only there is a small stream flowing against the wall on the side of him, and there is a half-meter-high white milky stone sitting by the stream, which is a little bit of a cave.

The ground is unusually flat, of course, not to the extent of smoothness, but it is definitely not the kind of ground that a cave should have.

After looking at it for a moment, he had already concluded that it was an ancient divine mine.

The Night Pearl that illuminated the entire pit was in the middle of the cave, and he turned a blind eye to the dead bones on the ground, and walked straight to the Night Pearl, ready to put away this treasure first, and then go to find the spirit beast hidden in the cave.

The night pearl looks like a stone pillar more than two meters high at random, and when you climb the stone pillar, you find that the bead is connected with a black iron box, and the iron box is firmly fixed with the stone pillar and cannot be pulled out at all.

Fortunately, he brought a short knife with him, and the tip of the knife was gone, so he finally sled Mingzhu down with the iron box.

The pearl is very bright, but it is not dazzling, and there is no such hot feeling of ordinary lights, the bead wall is a spar texture, round and smooth, and it is a little cold to the touch, a bit like a frozen water balloon, but the transparency inside is very low, and it is somewhat similar to the solidified goat's milk.

The black tin box looked very cumbersome, but he knew that the pearl could shine because it had a lot to do with this tin box, which was written in the textbook.

He couldn't put it down, and he played with it for a long time before he remembered that it was time to go to the spirit animal.

The inexplicable voice of Daw Senran before did not appear again, he held the pearl and looked around, and there was no moving living creature at all. Could it be just a hallucination? He muttered to himself, suspecting that the terrible sound that had scared him so much that he almost fell was not real. This disappointed him, he had always wanted to meet the real spirit beast.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly realized that the spirit beast must be hiding in the water, it should be a fish. After all, this place is so closed that the beasts of the land must not live here for long, and only the fish can survive for a long time with the help of the living water in the stream.

When I walked to the stream, I saw clusters of small fish swimming in the stream, those fish had no eyes, and their bodies were transparent, which were indeed different from ordinary fish, and they might really be spirit fish.

He squatted down, put Mingzhu beside him, and suddenly reached into the icy water, and he didn't think that the fish was even more sluggish than the river fish he had caught in the past, and he easily caught one.

He was snickering, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a gray and short shadow on the cave wall on the other side of the stream, next to his own shadow, he shrugged in his heart, and without thinking about it, he raised his fist and smashed it to the side, and then quickly jumped to the side, away from the inexplicable creature.

As a boy who has been hunting in the mountains since he was ten years old, his courage is incomparable to that of ordinary dolls, as soon as he stood firm, he pulled out the short knife on his waist, and under the full body of vigilance, the eyeless fish in his hand has been pinched to shreds, he threw it in the stream casually, splashing a small splash, and the sound of the water made the empty hole seem extraordinarily quiet.

The shadow was still imprinted on the cave wall, not moving, and mysteriously, he couldn't find the source of the shadow.

His hairs stood on end, and he screamed bad luck in his heart, if he encountered a tangible ghost, it would be fine, but that thing was nowhere to be found, so he couldn't deal with it.

He bent his legs slightly, ready to flee quickly, but he was unwilling to leave Mingzhu there, so he didn't move for a while.

Suddenly, another voice from the dark side came: "Someone's breath, it turns out that you have betrayed the spirit god and reincarnated as a human." ā€

The voice came from nowhere, as if it sounded directly in the mind, and it was the same as before, it was also ethereal and clear, like the spiritual thoughts of the spirit beasts mentioned in the textbook.

However, the shadow of terror was in front of him, and he no longer dared to conclude that the voice came from the spirit beast.

"Where did the ghost come from, hurry up and show up to the master, otherwise the master will let you die again. He roared and emboldened himself, and slashed before him with his dagger to force the invisible foe back.

But it didn't work, the shadow on the cave wall was slowly moving towards his shadow, and its body was obviously moving closer to him.

The two shadows were next to each other again, and Sen Ran's voice pierced into his heart again: "If you still remember the righteousness of the generals in the past, give me a death." ā€

Immediately, the dwarf shadow slowly moved away and moved to the vicinity of the milky stone by the stream, where it coincided with the shadow of the milky stone.
