Chapter 302: Lotus Terrace
"Underground karst caves!" It is not strange that there are karst caves in the underground of coal mines, some natural karst caves on the earth are even thousands of meters underground, and the big ones can take off and land a Boeing 747 passenger plane, and the underground karst cave of more than 40 square meters in front of him did not arouse any interest in Shu Liang.
"Where is Ewha Palace?"
"It's almost there, and the place ahead is the cave-in," Li Fan said, pointing to a black hole.
"Be on guard!"
The black entrance of the cave is like a giant beast with an open mouth, making a "whining" sound, which echoes throughout the underground cavern and is creepy. The dust floating from the mouth of the cave obscured one's vision, and an incendiary bomb entered the hole, and the orange firelight reflected the dark and shiny coal seam, and there was a strange color faintly beating.
Shu Liang cautiously approached the entrance of the cave, and a cold wind like hell blew in his face, making people can't help but stand upside down.
A few glow sticks were thrown into the depths of the hole, flickering and dancing a few bright colors before disappearing into the ground, "It's a subsidence!" A huge hole appeared in the ground not far away, and a cry for help came from the depths of the hole.
"Help!"
"Is there anyone up there, help us up!"
“......”
A flare shot into the hole, and the glow of light instantly illuminated the entire bottom of the hole, and several faint figures waved their arms and shouted vigorously, "Help!
Li Fan stood on the edge of the cave, and shouted at the bottom of the cave: "Don't panic, we will come to save you immediately, how many people are there down now, and how are the casualties?"
A response came from the bottom of the cave: "We have 16 people here, 5 people are missing, 7 people are dead, 4 people are seriously injured, and the others are temporarily ...... normal."
"What now, do you want to ......," Li Fan asked in a low voice, his hand making an elimination motion around his neck.
"This matter can't be hidden for long, save the people below first......", Shu Liang didn't say what he said later, Li Fan had already clearly understood the meaning from his eyes. There are not only Li Fan and Shu Liang on the coal mine, but the huge benefits mean that countless pairs of eyes are staring here, and a little wind and grass will attract countless speculations.
Several ropes stretched from the mouth of the cave to the bottom of the cave, and several warriors slid down the ropes, followed by a lighting wire and some lighting equipment to the bottom of the cave, and soon the bottom of the cave was illuminated by the lighting equipment that had been erected.
Shortly after, the 16 miners, including their bodies, were brought up and protected in the name of medical care.
"Let's go down", Shu Liang grabbed the cable, his body descended quickly, and he reached the bottom of the cave in a few breaths. From the entrance of the cave to the bottom of the cave is not deep, about three or four stories high, the bottom of the cave is piled up with scattered rubble, the air is full of suffocating dust, the dense dust has not dispersed in the windless cave, under the strong light, emitting a silvery-white, gray-black alternating luster.
"There! look!"
A row of neat upward stone steps appeared in front of Shu Liang's eyes, and huge stone lion statues were placed on both sides of the stone steps, staring majestically ahead, but the stone lion was covered with dust, but it lacked the majestic and breathtaking momentum.
Directly above the steps, six huge gray-white stone pillars are lined up, each requiring two people to hug each other, and more are obscured by boulders and earth, revealing only a faint hint of the grand outline of the palace. Behind the stone pillars is a row of wooden pillars hidden in the darkness that have lost their vermilion lacquer luster, each of which cannot be hugged by one person, supporting the shape of a huge palace.
The dilapidated and rotten doors and windows were left open at will, some fell on the stone steps and were covered with dust, and some were strong hanging on the edge of the window, falling down at the slightest touch.
Several flares were shot into the huge hollow darkness of the palace, perhaps because the palace had been closed underground for many years, and there was no contact with the air microorganisms to corrode, and the curtains that fell from the sky in the palace were as bright as new and shimmered with a trace of golden light. But the brilliant colors did not last long, and under the gaze of the naked eye, those beautiful curtains that had been stored for thousands of years were rapidly oxidized and turned white and gray under the contact with the air, like ashes falling from the sky.
Shu Liang walked up the stone steps slowly, the torches illuminated his surroundings, wiped off the dust on them, the white marble stone steps and railings were preserved as new, with a sense of historical vicissitudes, the carefully carved buildings still exude a thousand years of solemnity and majesty, making people have an urge to worship.
The light slowly extended in the hollow hall, and the chaotic footsteps echoed in the hall, breaking the tranquility of the thousand-year-old Pear Blossom Palace.
"What are you looking for?" Shu Liang stood in the center of the main hall, in front of him was a huge square platform more than half a person high, the square platform was surrounded by exquisite patterns, the material of the square platform was a thousand years of golden silk nan wood, and in the middle was placed a lotus platform in the shape of a lotus flower with a little metallic luster. At the back of the square platform, there are nine steps, and at the top of the steps is a large dragon chair that symbolizes power.
Looking up at Shu Liang, who was in front of him, he suddenly asked, which surprised Li Fan beside him, and smiled with a stiff and embarrassed expression: "Everything here was a priceless treasure in the past, isn't Camp Chief Shu moved?"
"Heartbeat!" Shu Hao seemed to be really moved, walked up to the square platform, stretched out his hand to stroke the beautiful lotus platform, turned his head and stared at Li Fan deadly: "Is there anything unusual about this lotus platform?"
Li Fan's heart tightened suddenly, as if someone had pierced his heart, the corners of his eyes beat rapidly, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his thin cheeks, his body leaned weakly against the fence of the square platform, and subconsciously squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face.
"You see that?"
"Do you still need to watch? As soon as you came in, your eyes never left this lotus platform, and everyone else's eyes were fixed on the dragon chair in front of you, do you want me to continue?"
Li Fan smiled bitterly and said: "I can't hide anything from Camp Chief Shu, if there is any treasure in this Pear Blossom Palace, it is not gold and silver jewelry, nor the emperor's throne that symbolizes power, but this lotus platform ...... in front of Camp Chief Shu."
"Tell me about it," Shu Liang asked with interest.
Li Fan was stunned for a while, knowing that this matter could not be hidden from Shu Liang no matter what, so it was better to fight and say: "According to legend, in the Pear Blossom Palace, there is a beautiful woman who is good at palm dancing. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty loved to appreciate this woman's dance, and someone invited him to offer a lotus platform, which is the lotus platform that Camp Commander Shu sees now."
Shu Liang's eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible smile: "And then?"
"Then ......", a glimmer of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes and said: "According to legend, this woman who is good at palm dancing has danced on the lotus platform every night after getting the lotus platform, and she dances on the lotus platform every night, whether she is sleeping or resting, she will not leave the lotus platform." Suddenly, one day, when the woman was dancing, her body flew up from the lotus platform, and it flew higher and higher, and later it was said that the woman became a fairy ......".
