Chapter 268: Peach Blossom Fairy
When he smoothly shifted the one-foot position, he tried hard a few more times, and saw that he couldn't move a single inch anymore, so he didn't force it anymore. However, it can only be translated from this position, and it can't be pushed anyway, which doesn't correspond to the translation of one meter (three feet three) that everyone guessed just now.
At this time, everyone looked at the position of the original stone statue base on the ground, and found that there was no obvious change below, and it was no different from the bluestone floor in other places in the cave.
With doubts, Xiao Qingfeng carefully shifted the stone statue to its original position, and then tried to pan it to the right. After trying it, it was exactly the same as the situation to the left, and it stopped when it reached about a foot to the left. Moreover, the ground below has not changed in any way. Not only near the stone statue, but after this one left and right, there was no abnormality in the entire Peach Blossom Cave.
After Xiao Qingfeng reset the stone statue again, he frowned and said, "This is strange, could it be that there is something wrong with our understanding and thinking." It stands to reason that this shouldn't be, if the stone statue really can't be pushed, then this extremely secret and almost invisible ancient poem carved in ancient seals and stones may be a deliberate prank by someone. The current situation is that the stone statue has obviously been symmetrically translated from left to right according to the ancient poem, but it has not moved to a position of one meter. ”
"The fairy is about three feet three, the fairy is about three feet three, the fairy is about three feet three, and the fairy is about three feet three......" Jing Jing recited himself several times, and said suddenly: "Master Hou, you follow the way just now, try left and right twice in a row to see if there will be any changes." ”
As soon as Jing Xin said this, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly seemed to have an understanding, and said excitedly: "Yes, one move is more than one foot at a time, and those three times are not more than three feet, hehehe." ”
With that, he adjusted his internal breath again, and shifted back and forth twice in one breath. Sure enough, during the last shift to the right, there was a loud muffled noise from underground. After the muffled sound, a circular hole about half a meter in diameter slowly appeared at the base of the earlier stone statue.
After the entrance of the cave appeared, the prodigal son hurriedly rushed forward and stood at the entrance of the cave with his whole body on guard to prevent any demons and monsters from rushing out of the cave. However, to everyone's surprise, five or six minutes passed, and there were no accidents at the entrance of the cave, and nothing came out.
Xiao Qingfeng turned on the strong flashlight and shone inside, only to see that this was a very deep shaft-shaped natural cave. Except for the two or three meters above, which seems to be a more regular cylindrical shape that has been artificially processed, there should be a naturally formed irregular rock wall below, and there are some smaller abrupt stones from time to time.
At this time, Xiao Qingfeng had already roughly guessed the situation of this cave entrance mechanism, and it turned out that the closed cave entrance was actually a cylindrical solid boulder, and its thickness was more than two meters. After the stone statue on it was repeatedly shifted left and right, it naturally fell to the bottom of the shaft, and the muffled sound just now was the sound of its natural fall.
With such a tightly seamed and thick sealing stone, it is no wonder that it was difficult for everyone to clearly detect the movement below just now. It's just that what makes Xiao Qingfeng very puzzled is that with his ability, he just looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't really figure out the mechanism of this entrance, and he didn't understand how the stone statue above cleverly controlled the cylindrical stone below.
Xiao Qingfeng looked at it for a while, and then asked Jingxin to fix the probe with an extended probe, and then use rock climbing
The rope was carried and slowly put in. Through the visceral above, it can be seen that the shaft is about twenty-seven or eighteen meters, and the falling cylindrical stone can indeed be seen at the bottom, but it happened to fall into a stone pit. At a glance, I knew that it was specially designed by the original Yichen Dao man at this time.
At the lowest end of the shaft, a natural passage with a slope of about 30 degrees was found that extended westward. The space of this passage is much larger than that of this shaft, and although the situation inside is a bit chaotic, it seems that a normal person should still be able to walk reluctantly. And this downward passage seems to be very deep, and there are many rocks in it that block the view, so you can't see the end with just the probe.
After looking at it carefully for a while, after making sure that there was no danger at the moment, Xiao Qingfeng called all the lone wolves outside in.
The doll was the first to run to the entrance of the cave, looked at it, and seemed to be a little depressed and said: "What the hell is this, Bai was excited for most of the day, and he only saw such an ordinary broken cave." So what is the good 'male and female demons', why don't you see them rush out, so that they can have a good taste of our means of freeing the nine immortals. ”
The lone wolf said: "You little doll, everyone was still worried just now, I was afraid that some demons and monsters would really rush out, and everyone would be damaged." You're good, but I really hope that some monster will appear and satisfy your curiosity. You really don't think it's a small matter, aren't you afraid that the world won't be chaotic? ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "Yes, after you go in, if there are really any 'male and female demons', then everyone will not care about you, see what you are capable of dealing with them." ”
The little Taoist priest said: "That is, it is better to let them take you away and keep you here forever, so that you can be excited and excited." ”
The doll said, "Okay, you two bad guys dare to attack me, be careful that I let that 'male and female' take you away." Besides, a beautiful woman like me who loves flowers and flowers, even if there are really any demons and monsters, they can't bear to embarrass me. It's you ugly guys who are sorry for yourself, but be really careful, hum hum hum. ”
Mengshan Turtle and they tried to fight back and continue to attack the doll, but they were stopped by Xiao Qingfeng with a wave of his hand, and only heard Xiao Qingfeng say seriously: "Okay, now we have just opened the hole safely, and it is not clear what is in it, so you will start bickering again." Besides, since this cave is called a chain cave, I don't think the situation inside will be as simple as these two passages. We can only make a conclusion if we go down first and find out carefully. ”
After reprimanding the three of them, Xiao Qingfeng met with the lone wolf and the mute for a brief discussion, and finally decided to continue to act according to the earlier plan. In addition, it is said that until there is a complete withdrawal from the chain hole, everyone must be vigilant at all times, and must not be careless and take it lightly.
After a brief meeting, Lone Wolf immediately asked everyone to install a simple lifting device above the entrance to the shaft. After the lifting device was installed and commissioned, the prodigal son was the first to climb carefully along the climbing rope.
Once he reached the bottom of the shaft, he turned on the armor's lighting and carried out the necessary tests of the air quality below, in addition to the usual safety searches. In the end, everything worked fine and there were no unexpected findings.
Immediately afterward, he began to follow the downward passage to the west, slowly searching for it. At the same time, Xiao Qingfeng and Jing Xin, who were above, also quickly reached the bottom of the shaft. The three of them took a distance of two or three meters from each other and pushed forward together.
At first, everyone thought that this passage should be very long, but in fact, it was only more than 40 meters, and it didn't take long to reach the end. It's just that there are too many rocks in this passage, and some places are still difficult to pass, so you need to carefully clear the road before you can move forward smoothly. Judging from the surface traces of the entire passage, it does look like a naturally formed mountain cave crossing. But if you look closely, you can find some artificial clues, but these traces are very slight, and the age should be very old.
In addition, in the middle of this passage, there is an obvious natural collapse, and several large rocks are scattered all over the ground, which looks like it has just happened. Xiao Qingfeng thought that the strange sound that the dumb man heard on it just now was most likely the sound made by these big stones when they collapsed and rolled down.
At the end of this passage, there was another almost vertical natural shaft passage, and the prodigal son took a general look, and estimated that it was almost ten meters deep. Underneath the shaft, there is supposed to be a large natural cavern, and nothing unusual has been found in this section.
After getting Xiao Qingfeng's consent, the prodigal son found a position to fix the climbing rope and climbed directly ahead. Sure enough, when I reached the end below, a cave hall with a height of about two meters and more than twenty square meters suddenly appeared.
It was only here that the prodigal son found that it seemed to have come to an end, and except for the shaft passage at the top of the shaft, there was no passage to be found in all directions, all of which were irregular rock walls.
After learning the specific situation below, Xiao Qingfeng, who stayed on the top of this shaft, immediately asked Jing Xin to return the same way and lured the lone wolf over. And he himself quickly descended directly to the cave hall below, and the prodigal son conducted a careful inspection of this cave hall in all directions. It's just that there is no obvious progress between the two, not only did they not find any secret passages, but they even felt that this place should have been a long, long time without traces of human or other animal activity.
At this moment, the four of them rushed to the entrance of the shaft above. After discussing with Xiao Qingfeng, he left the lone wolf and Jingxin to guard on it, and asked Mengshan Turtle and the little Taoist priest to come down to help. Because, in this treacherous and secretive environment, the two brothers can often play an unexpected role.
After the two brothers went down to the cave hall below, they chatted with Xiao Qingfeng briefly, and immediately launched a carpet search and investigation of this small cave hall again. Don't look at the personalities of the two of them on weekdays, they are a little quirky and weird, but when these two brothers get serious, they really don't say it, and they even have some paranoid complexes. However, after more than ten minutes passed, the two of them were just like Xiao Qingfeng and the prodigal son just now, without the slightest valuable discovery.
I only heard the little Taoist muttering angrily: "Today's incident is so fucking weird, it makes people feel awkward everywhere, to be honest, I really haven't encountered such a strange situation before." ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "Yes, I also have a vague feeling that today's serial hole will definitely not be so simple, but now we have lost the clue again and are in a dilemma." Let's continue to investigate, now it's a tiger who can't eat the sky, if you really stop and quit, it's really a little unwilling to say what you want to say. ”
