Chapter 3: Stone Formation
"Actually, I've seen those caves, but I don't think I'll find anything by going in. Wang Lung said lightly.
Puzzled, he asked, "What are you doing?"
Wang Lung said: "This stone has existed for an unknown number of years, from its discovery to the present, those caves must have been entered, this is a desert, those caves should not be deep, it is definitely caused by weathering, and there is no point in not entering it at all." ”
One said: "What you say is true, but don't forget, seeing may not be true, I don't know how others are, how can mortals see the prohibition with the naked eye." ”
"Ban, you say there is a ban in it?" asked Wang Lung in surprise.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is a way, I have to go in and have a look to know the way, if there is no prohibition, the cave of Arlinn's predecessor is not for anyone to visit." ”
After hearing this, Wang Lung nodded and didn't speak again, turned his head to look at the tourists around him, and saw that most of them were taking pictures with their cameras, and no one paid attention to them, so he turned his head and motioned for a brother and two to follow.
The three of them circled around the boulder for half a circle, and seeing that the tourists around them were not out of sight, they looked up at a big hole in the middle of the boulder, and Wang Lung turned his head and asked, "Are you sure this hole is very deep, not like other caves?"
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, this cave is at least a hundred meters deep into the boulder, and there is no trace of man." ”
After hearing this, Wang Lung kicked the ground with his right leg, and his body instantly rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the edge of the cave.
Two hours later, Wang Lung and the three of them returned to their original place again, they had searched all the caves that the boulder could explore, and they knew from everyone's expressions that they still found nothing.
After a long time, he slowly spoke: "We have searched all the caves. They are all naturally formed wind pits, and there are no prohibitions in them, and although they are called the mother of the land by the natives, they are not the place we are looking for. ”
"It's not that there are no discoveries at all, there are obvious traces of human activity in it, and those murals can be seen." It seems to be a sacrificial activity of the indigenous people, conveying a very sacred thing. ”
Wang Lung nodded and did not reply immediately, raising his eyes to look at the boulder in front of him, slowly changing colors, and after a long time, a few words popped out of Wang Lung's mouth: "That is a mural left by the Anan ancients, it is still a little valuable as an archaeology, so let's wait first." ”
"Wait, what did you find?" asked.
Wang Lung shook his head and did not speak, but sat directly on the ground. His eyes stared straight at Ayers Rock.
As time passed, it was almost dusk, and the sunset shrouded the rocks and the surrounding red earth, and Uluru went from ochre to orange-red, as if burning in the sky, and then turned dark red, gradually darkened, and disappeared into the night.
The tourists are gone. Only Wang Lung and a brother were left squatting in place, and the sky was already dark. At this time, there was no other sound except the sound of the wind, and I don't know how long it had been, Wang Lung stood up and patted the dust on his body.
"Let's go, to Oga Tepe. I don't think there's anyone over there anymore. Wang Lung turned his head to look at the two brothers and said slowly.
He asked puzzledly, "Let's go, what do you mean by sitting here silently for most of the day?"
Wang Lung chuckled and said, "It's nothing, it's just to look at the scenery, the sunset is in the West Mountain, Uluru is really the same as the legend." Mysterious and beautiful. ”
"Look at the scenery, Xiaolong, your brain hasn't been broken, do you still have the heart to see the scenery at this time?"
Wang Lung said: "This may be my first time, and it may be the last time I have come here, there are still many places on the earth that I have not been to, if I can enter the miracle space, I don't know when I will return to the earth, even if I can come back, Uluru will probably not exist, take a look at it more, at least there are no regrets." ”
"You ......" He didn't wait for time to go down, patted the empty shoulder and said: "I can understand Xiaolong's mood, second, when you reach the stage of cultivating and leaving the miracle space, you will understand." ”
Wang Lung nodded and said, "Alright, let's go, since Uluru is not the place we are looking for, I have a gut feeling that Oga Tepe is where Arlinn's predecessor cave is located." ”
He was surprised and asked, "For what?"
Wang Lung smiled and said, "It's just intuition, just go and see it." ”
Wang Lung and the three of them walked towards Oga Stonehenge, but they had not far from Uluru when they saw rows of white tents, and from a distance, there were faint lights and the roar of cars, and the three of them had no intention of staying overnight, and walked around the edge of the tourist habitat.
After about a cup of tea, Wang Lung and a brother and two brothers came to the front of the Oga Stone Tepe, saying that it was a stone henge, but in Wang Lung's opinion, it was just a group of hills of different heights connected together.
However, this stone henge is large enough, covering an area similar to Uluru, but compared to the integrity of Uluru, it seems a little scattered, don't look at these inconspicuous stone henges are not very high, but in this desert, it is the highest altitude.
Unlike Uluru, there is also indigenous life in the vicinity of Oga Teire, which is even more mysterious, as the indigenous elders have not revealed any of its secrets, and until now, only one thing is known, and that is the trial ground of the indigenous men, where they hunted, sacrificed, and grew up.
Visitors come here for sightseeing only, there is a small path into Oga Stonehenge, it takes four or five hours to hike through Oga Stonehenge, and you have to watch out for wild kangaroos that appear at any time, and you can walk to the bottom of the valley, which is a clear water and an oasis where you can see a spectacular sunset at dusk.
All this means nothing to Wang Lung, he is not here to visit, and he can't see the spectacular scene of sunset now, and the dark night makes the whole Oga Stone Tepe seem even more mysterious.
Wang Lung glanced at the stone formation in the distance, turned his head and said, "Didn't you say that this stone formation is a little weird, secretly in line with some kind of forbidden magic circle, then can you tell what kind of prohibition this is?"
One said: "I was only looking at some pictures at that time, whether it is as I guessed, I have to take a closer look." ”
Seeing that Wang Lung nodded and didn't say anything more, he stomped on his right foot, and his body flew directly into the sky. Soon disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, Wang Lung was not surprised to see this, just stood in place and waited.
After about ten minutes, he said, "Big brother let us go to the highest stone pillar." ”
Wang Lung nodded slightly, raised his legs, and walked to the highest point among the thirty-six stone pillars, quickly. He and Sora went to the top of the stone pillar, and stood there waiting for them in the morning.
"Did you find anything?" Wang Lung asked as soon as he saw one.
Yi shook his head lightly and said, "The actual terrain here is not the same as in the photo, it seems that I misestimated." ”
Wang Lung asked, "You mean that this is not where Arlinn Cave Mansion is located. ”
Yi Yi still shook his head and said: "I can't be sure for the time being, I just swept it with my divine sense, and found that there is a hidden cave in the stone pillar under my feet, the cave is not big, it is only ten zhang square, and there is an altar in the cave. There are no other buildings other than the altar, not even a single figure. ”
Wang Lung pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that the secret hidden by the native elders is here?"
Yi said: "Not necessarily, although the altar is hidden in the belly of the mountain, there is no prohibition to cover it, with the current level of technology on the earth, it is not difficult to find it." ”
Wang Lung said: "Anyway, let's go down and have a look first, and then we will know whether it is true or not." Is there an entrance?"
"Follow me. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked off into the distance. The place where they were standing just now was a relatively flat surface, and after a few steps, it had already turned into a cliff.
Even when he walked to the edge of the cliff, he didn't stop, and with a slight step of his left foot, the person stood in the air. Seeing this, Wang Lung looked at it, and the other party flicked his fingers at Wang Long, and a faint circle of light wrapped Wang Lung's entire body, and then, the fingers of his right hand hooked. Wang Lung's body floated lightly.
Wang Lung was not a cultivator yet, and he didn't have the ability to levitate out of thin air, so he could only ask a brother and two to help, so Wang Lung followed him, and his body slowly sank, and after sinking about fifty meters, he stopped.
"Look there. ”
Looking along the fingers of one, there is a slightly concave stone wall in front of it, the depth of the depression is not large, only four or five meters, but there is an independent rock protruding in front of the depression plane, with the naked eye alone, if you don't look at it up close, you will not find that there will be a small hole behind the protruding rock from that angle.
Wang Long's standing angle is not very good, how big the hole is, it is not clear for the time being, but judging from the exposed plane of the hole, the entrance is only one meter in size, and a person cannot stand to enter it, so he can only climb in.
With a wave of his hand, he saw Wang Lung slowly drifting towards the entrance of the cave, and when he bypassed the protruding rock, Wang Lung saw clearly that the entrance of the cave was not round, but closer to an oval, about two meters wide and only one meter high, and there was a rock on the edge of the cave that could be footed.
After removing the spiritual power shield, Wang Lung looked back at the two brothers, and seeing that the other party did not say anything, Wang Lung went into the cave with a short body.
The entrance is very low, and you can only crawl, but it is only two or three meters into the cave, Wang Lung feels suddenly open, although he has not yet reached the altar mentioned above, but he can already stand upright, and there is no problem for two people walking side by side.
He didn't go far, Wang Lung looked back, and found that the two brothers had appeared behind him, nodded slightly and continued to walk forward, this time he didn't go far, and a step appeared in front of him, and the direction of progress had been blocked by the stone wall.
Walking down the steps, before he had walked a dozen steps, Wang Lung felt a light in his eyes, as if he had entered a spacious and bright room, and in the center of the room there was a simple altar, for which Wang Lung did not look closely, but looked up at the top of the cave.
On the top of the cave, there are some beautiful murals depicted, the colors are bright, the characters and landscapes are depicted vividly, through careful observation, Wang Lung found that the content of the murals is actually a complete sacrificial scene, and in the middle of the top, there is exactly a altar drawn, which is very similar to the style of the altar around him.
In fact, what attracted Wang Lung the most was not the altar or the mural on the top of the cave, but the glowing stone above his head, let's call it a stone for the time being, because it was emitting a dazzling light, Wang Lung really couldn't see the original appearance of that thing.
Seeing Wang Lung staring at the top of his head, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't look at it, it's not a good thing." ”
Wang Lung turned his head and asked, "Isn't it a good thing?" What is it, it can automatically emit light, with this thing, wouldn't it be possible to save light bulbs for lighting." ”
Hearing Wang Lung say this, he smiled and said, "What my brother means is that this moonstone is nothing in the miracle space, but it is not on the earth. ”
"Moonstone?" Wang Lung looked up again and continued to ask, "How long will this thing last?"
"I don't know exactly how long it takes, but there should be no problem with tens of thousands of years." ”
Wang Lung nodded and said, "Good thing, you guys take a look at that altar first, and I'll pry it down." ”
"Wait!" Yi quickly stopped Wang Lung, waved his hand at him and continued, "Don't mess around, this moonstone was left by Arlinn's seniors, you can't move." ”
Wang Lung looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How do you know the Dao?"
Shaking his head, he pointed to the altar on the ground and said, "I thought it was an altar, but now it seems to be wrong, this is a teleportation array at all, I think we have found the location of Arlinn's predecessor's cave." ”
"Really?" Wang Lung said as he stretched out his hand and set his eyes on the altar, but unfortunately he didn't see any doorways after looking at it for a long time, so he asked, "I've also seen the teleportation array before, it's not like it." ”
He smiled lightly and said, "I told you, don't be fooled by the illusion in front of you, for ordinary people, this is just an altar, but its actual use is a two-way teleportation array." (To be continued......)
