Three hundred and seventy-six basins
Everyone looked forward, and saw that the ground was less and less white sand, scattered scattered on the ground, and at this time the ground in front of them was full of black and gray dirt and rocks, and the terrain slowly extended upward, but in the distance it was just a high slope, but there was nothing else!
Looking back behind him, some tall shrubs poked out of the thorn bushes, like strange snakes and beasts with teeth and claws, and the whole bushes were like black monstrous waves, as if they were about to rush up and swallow everyone, but there were no relics and buildings, but there was no trace of the Abacus City of the End of the Kingdom!
The swarthy man frowned, and shouted:
"It's a dirt slope, there's no fart!"
The yellow-robed ancestor also frowned slightly, but he didn't attack.
Especially, the high ramp towards the front:
"Let's go up and have a look! It should be right up front! ”
The white woman said:
"Unless that ancient city is Lilliputia! The walls to the foot and neck, otherwise you would have been able to see it from this long time ago! ”
At this time, Mei Ruohong looked at the soil on the ground, and then looked at the nearby rocks, and saw that although some of the stones were severely weathered, they had faint honeycomb-like dents, so he said:
"Look at the rocks and soil, this place should have been an underground volcano hundreds of thousands of years ago!"
"Volcano?"
The yellow-robed ancestor asked rhetorically.
When Mei Ruohong saw him asking, she didn't continue to speak, but was silent.
The white woman shouted at Mei Ruohong:
"Who wants you to talk too much!"
As he spoke, he raised the butt of the gun and slammed it towards Mei Ruohong's lower abdomen.
Han Daring's body was in front of Mei Ruohong, and he raised his knee and headed towards the butt of the gun, and the butt of the white woman was pushed upwards and almost flew out.
Ye Ling took the opportunity to stretch out his legs and sweep the white woman down.
But Han Daring and Ye Ling were both injured, and Han Daring's knee felt weak after pushing it out, and her breathing seemed to be a little difficult. Ye Ling's leg was already swollen, and he had been stepped on by the yellow-robed ancestor before, and although he swept the white woman, his leg also hurt his heart and lungs.
The white woman was so angry that she was about to fight back when she got up, and the swarthy man even punched Han boldly. Although Han Da'er dodged and avoided it, he also stumbled and almost fell.
You Fei saw that although Han Daring's movements were not flexible, he was obviously in a much better state than before, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, Han Da'er's physical fitness was excellent, coupled with some Qi cultivation foundation, so the recovery speed was much faster than ordinary people.
You Fei Dao:
"We're standing near the crater, but the volcano is dead!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the high slope first.
The yellow-robed ancestor stopped everyone and followed him towards the high slope.
A man and a woman viciously pushed and shoved several people, following behind.
When everyone came to the top of the high slope, they saw that the high slope was not flat, but it turned out to be a huge annular crater. It's just that it's an extinct volcano, but there's a huge basin below. The place where everyone stood was the edge of the crater, and the edge of this circle was a circular platform, the platform was more than ten meters wide, although it was a little undulating, but it was still quite flat.
The platform is very vast, and it is estimated that it is three or four times wider than the four roads in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Tianjin Wei combined. The basin below is one or two hundred meters away from the crater where the people are standing. The whole basin is very vast, and I am afraid that it can accommodate two or three nine miles and thirteen steps of Tianjin Wei Old City.
The outer ring of the basin is lush and verdant, and from a high point it is full of trees and grass, and the breeze blows in the distance, with the fragrance of flowers and grass and earth.
Looking into the inner circle, the mist surrounds, there seems to be a stream and river, and there is a towering city in the center, but from a distance, the city cage can not see the specific appearance in the smoke, only feel like a dream, like a paradise Genting Heavenly Palace.
High in the sky here, although there are still a little clouds and mist, it is far away from the maze tower, and the acid mist has not reached here, just some thin clouds of water and vapor. The phosphorescent gas of the luminous crystals above the clouds is also particularly dazzling, shining on the misty clouds, but it seems that the sun is shining, only the heat of the sun.
Everyone stood on the mountain pass platform and looked for a way out under the stage. But I saw that there was a clearing under the stage, and there were some green grass and trees in front of the clearing, and I saw the shadows of the trees in the forest shaking, but it was the sickle just now, climbing down from the platform and running directly into the forest.
Under the platform of this crater, it is very steep, and although the monster of the mantis race can walk on the ground, it is not easy for everyone to climb it with their bare hands if they want to go down.
Han Daring said:
"It's one or two hundred meters from the ground below, and if you want to put the rope down, we can't climb it with our help, and we can't go down at all!"
The yellow-robed ancestor said:
"You want me to let go of you, don't be delusional, it's easy to release a tiger and difficult to catch a tiger!"
You Fei Dao:
"Since there are ancient road ruins among the thorny bushes, there must be other paths here!"
A man and a woman continued to push Han Da'er and the others, and walked around the wide crater platform with the yellow-robed ancestor and You Fei.
Although the platform looks flat and wide from a distance, it is undulating and uneven when you walk up, and some places are bare and only strange-shaped stubborn stones, but the game place has a large difference in height, like a natural ladder, and some places are covered with weeds and plants, and some unknown vines climb on the platform and hang down to the basin below.
This circle of craters is the wall that surrounds the entire basin, and if it really goes around, I am afraid it will take more than four or five hours. Han Da'er and the others tied their hands upside down, and they were still tied to their arms by ropes, making it even more difficult to walk.
Everyone marched all the way, but Han Dada'er's breath here was usually fresh and fresh, and every breath seemed to exhale the turbidity impurities in the body out of the body, but it was a good place to exhale and practice. He secretly breathed in breathing, and he actually felt that his strength was gradually recovering, and when he looked back at Ye Ling, she was overwhelmed, but at this time, she was more energetic than before.
Looking at the man and the woman again, both of them were injured, especially the swarthy man, who was quite seriously injured, but at this time, he was getting stronger and stronger, and both of them were in good spirits.
Han Da'er couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but listened to You Fei:
"The environment here is special, if a cultivator comes here to practice qi and seek immortals, it is very suitable! Even if you just live here, it's good for your body! This should be the nameless slip contained in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is said to have sunk to the bottom of the sea! ”
You Fei said:
"In fact, the sinking of Wuzhong Mountain is much earlier than the time recorded in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the current ancient city of Wuzhong is the descendants of the fusion of Wuzhong and Shanrong people in the Spring and Autumn Period, looking for the ancestral holy land, and rebuilding here.
They found the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror here, so they re-established the country here, because the environment here is special, and both men and women in the country can live up to 200, far exceeding the life span of ordinary people! Later......"
In the name of Pei Run, when the ancestor of the yellow robe disguised as the old man Meng, he once talked about the description of the nameless country of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Han Daring originally thought that the Yellow Robe Ancestor was the one who knew this legend best, but the information revealed from You Fei's words before was obviously more and more detailed than the Yellow Robe Ancestor.
Han Daring was listening quietly, wanting to hear You Fei continue, but You Fei stopped talking and didn't continue.
Everyone continued to move forward, and Han Daring glanced back at Wang Weihan behind him. Wang Weihan was extremely fascinated by the Endless Kingdom, but since he was captured by a man and a woman, he didn't say a word, just bowed his head and moved forward.
At this moment, the platform in front of it suddenly became very wide, and the platform was crawling with moss and green vines, and a tall boulder, covered with vines, stood on the edge of the platform.
You Fei walked up, took out the Lu Mo knife on his waist, peeled off the moss and vines on the boulder, and revealed something under the moss, but it was not a boulder, but a tall stone beast, the stone beast was six or seven meters tall, and there were many gold patterns inlaid on its body, all of which were those so-called fairy urn characters, and the eyes of the stone beast were two bronze eyeballs, embedded with red gems.
The stone beast squatted on the edge of the platform, and two bronze pillars protruded from both sides of its crotch, on which there was a huge disc with teeth, just like a modern mechanical gear, which coincided with another gear protruding from the rock wall under the platform.
A deep rectangular groove was cut into the rock wall, and the gear-shaped disc protruded from it. On the other side of the stone beast was a pulley-like thing, with a bronze chain on it, which was covered with patina. The chain stretched out to the basin below, and it seemed to be connected to something, but the distance down was too far, the drop was more than a hundred meters, and when you looked down, the end of the chain was just a black dot.
You Fei used the Lu Mo knife to open the vines in the stone beast's abdomen, revealing a doorway less than three meters long. There are two doorways, but the back buttocks of the stone beast are also a doorway. He flashed his flashlight and walked straight into the doorway, then beckoned everyone to come in.
The space in this door hole can accommodate more than ten people standing, and the space is not small. Although the doorways on both sides were figured out, it was still a little dark because they were inside the stone beast.
Han Daring thought that there was some staircase at the other end of the doorway, so he walked in and took a look. But I saw that outside the doorway, it was just a hanging place, and there was no ladder sling or anything like that.
The white woman saw Han Daring standing by the doorway, and deliberately pushed forward, wanting to squeeze him down directly. Who knew that Han Daring had already recovered some strength at this time, although the movement was a little bigger, he still felt that the five were churning, but it was okay to avoid this push.
As soon as he turned, he slid away the hand that the white woman had pushed forward. The woman was unstable and almost fell through the doorway, but fortunately, the swarthy man stretched out his arm to hang his arm, which saved him from falling off a hundred-meter-high cliff and shattering his bones.
The swarthy man was furious, and was about to slam Han Da'er's waist with the butt of his gun, when suddenly everyone's feet trembled, only to hear a "click" sound, followed by a "squeak" and "squeak" sounds. Everyone felt that their bodies were sinking down, and the ground under their feet was slowly sinking.
With the sound of "squeak", the ground continued to sink, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they found themselves in a room that looked like a bronze bell, but the room in the shape of a bronze bell only had a frame, and the light was transmitted everywhere, more like an iron cage.
In the place where he was standing, there was a bronze beast race thing, connected with two gears and a protruding tooth, like a mechanism button, and the clicking sound that he heard just now must have been caused by him activating the mechanism.
The iron cage continued to sink slowly, and when I looked up, there was a bronze chain the thickness of a human arm hanging vertically on the top of the iron cage, and the iron cage was slowly sinking with the iron chain. In the "squeak" sound, there were continuous pieces of patina falling from the top of the head.
Outside the iron cage, the bronze chain hanging on the pulley on one side of the Shicai Stone Beast was slowly rising. A lot of patina debris also fell one after another.
As the iron cage descended, Han Daring looked down and saw that under the rising bronze chain it looked like a huge copper hook, and on the hook hung several pieces of stone flakes that were about the size of a person and half a foot thick, and there was a round hole at the top of the stone slices, and the copper hook was hooked in the round hole.
Only then did Han Dada'er understand that these stone flakes were counterweights.
At this time, Ye Ling asked:
"This ...... Is this an elevator? ”
At that time, Tianjin Wei high-rise buildings were numerous, but there were not many elevators, and when the Quanye Field opened, the elevator in the building attracted the attention of many people.
Mei Ruohong Road:
"The elevator is powered by electricity, this is the ancient man-made elevator! Hanging under the rising chain outside is the counterweight used to lift and fall. The weight of our people is slightly heavier than the counterweight, so the counterweight is slowly lifted, and we slowly descend. ”
Ye Ling exclaimed:
"I see, like my dad talked about some of the tomb mechanisms, some of the door opening mechanisms, just hanging with counterweight stones. These ancients were so clever that they could make such a thing......"
Ye Ling thought for a while and asked again:
"But if our number is too small and lighter than the counterweight, won't this elevator be able to go down?"
The white woman listened impatiently, and shouted:
"Shut up! You have so many questions! ”
Mei Ruohong ignored her, and then replied:
"Those gears should be weight-controlled, and the weight can be adjusted by adding and subtracting the stone chips on the counterweight."
The white woman slammed forward, and Ye Ling's body slumped into Han Da'er. Han Daring supported her hard, but suddenly felt that there was one more thing in the hand that was tied behind her back, which was hard and sharp, and it felt uneven to the touch, but it was a large piece of patina that fell from everyone's heads just now.
This piece of patina has sharp edges. Han Da'er knew that it must have been when the patina fell just now, and Ye Ling took the opportunity to catch a piece. At this time, he handed it to himself, and naturally used it to cut the rope to get out of trouble, so he temporarily stuffed the patina under the belt of his lower back.
At this time, the elevator fell to the ground, making a "pop" sound, and everyone's bodies shook again, and then they walked out of the iron cage elevator one after another.
At this time, as far as the eye can see, there is a verdant landscape in front of me, only some unknown tall trees, covered by long grass on the ground, all of which are more than half a person high.
Suddenly, a three-eyed bird flew by, and in an instant it disappeared into the forest. Everyone followed the direction of the noisy birds to watch, only to see that the mist in the forest was filled, the grass was fragrant, the branches and leaves of the trees, some dew drops were hanging down, and in the long grass, there seemed to be small beasts moving, and some birds and insects were chirping from time to time.
Although there is a peaceful and quiet life here, the appearance of such a paradise in the underground world makes people feel so unreal, and there is a faint uneasiness in their hearts.
You Fei watched for a while, then waved the Lu Mo knife, chopped the long grass, and walked into the forest, and the yellow-robed ancestor also walked in.
Han Dada'er and the others, in the push and shoving of a man and a woman, also followed You Fei and the yellow-robed ancestor towards the depths of the forest......
