Chapter 249 Cinnabar Cave
Everyone followed Lin Yao slowly towards the bottom of the lake. However, such a big lake does not know how deep the water is. If the tomb of the Hongshan Emperor is under the lake, wouldn't the water in the lake seep into the tomb?
In fact, it is not the case. The emperor's tomb in Hongshan is still far away from the lake. The size of Hongshan is beyond people's imagination. If we calculate the distance between the lake and the emperor's tomb, it would be about several miles. However, the mountain road is very rugged.
Even though it seems like a short few miles, walking in the red mountains is very difficult and time-consuming.
Lin Yao was still walking at the front. After she led the others for more than an hour, they discovered a cave. The cave was not very big. Lin Yao turned around and asked, "Brother Xiaoxing, is this a robbery cave?"
Shui Xiaoxing and others also moved forward, and Shui Xiaoxing even lay down on the ground and looked towards the cave. It was pitch black inside, but it did not look like a robbery cave, but like a naturally formed cave, or
It is a cave that appeared after a rockfall in the mountain. However, everyone's analysis is wrong. This cave was indeed dug manually, but it has a long history. If it is calculated, it should be estimated to the Warring States Period.
The Hongshan Tombs during the Warring States Period can be said to be very large. The size of the Hongshan Emperor Tombs is beyond human expectation. We all know that the Qin Tombs are already very huge, but if we are familiar with the tombs at that time, they are far beyond our expectations.
human imagination.
In a certain period or dynasty in ancient times, there may have been many advanced things, but it cannot be denied that most of the ancient species from that period are now extinct. However, whether they have evolved or not, this still needs human verification.
Why do I say this? This cave is actually part of the Hongshan Emperor's Tomb. It can be said to be a branch, or it can be said to be the Hongshan Emperor's Tomb, because the Hongshan Emperor's Tomb is really too big.
But Shui Xiaoxing and others have no idea what kind of cave this is. This cave is no better than a mine. Where there are caves, it can be said that there may be beasts and the like inside. Compared with mines, this makes people feel more mysterious. Then
Mao Doudou said: "Let's go in and investigate. Is the outside one a burglar's cave?"
Everyone agrees with this point of view, but there is still water overflowing from the entrance of the cave. It can be said that there must be water in the cave! But there is not much, but there is a group of people among Shui Xiaoxing, and there are still people who know common sense, that is Teacher Xiaoqing,
At this time, Teacher Xiaoqing said:
"There is water flowing out slowly from the entrance of the cave. Naturally, there will be no wild animals. Wild animals will not choose to live in such a humid place, unless they are amphibians."
But no one noticed that the water flow was not just white, but sometimes, red liquid could be faintly seen flowing out of the water flow!
At this time, Shui Xiaoxing took out the engineer shovel, rope and headlamp from his backpack, then squatted and reluctantly walked in. Shui Xiaoxing said: "Everyone, please don't come in yet. I'll check the situation first. If anything happens, I'll call
You!" Then he tied a circle of rope around his waist, then handed the other end to Big Head, and said: "If Big Head can get in, I will pull the rope three times to remind you.
Bring everyone in again!"
Big Head also followed Shui Xiaoxing's example and tied the other end of the rope around his waist. This can ensure Shui Xiaoxing's safety. If there are any dark holes inside, no one can imagine how deep they are. Some are even dozens of deep.
The depth is from 100 meters to 100 meters. If this person fell, there might be a chance of survival with the rope attached.
This cave is very small. Shui Xiaoxing can only squat or crawl. However, there is water on the ground, so it is definitely not suitable for crawling. But Shui Xiaoxing is absolutely right to do this, because the water still has some magic!
Shui Xiaoxing walked about ten meters, and the inside became more open. Then Shui Xiaoxing tightened the rope and pulled it three times. The big head on the other end was not stupid, so he also pulled it three times.
In response, Big Head said: "Well, there is a response from Xiaoxing. He pulled the rope to hint us to go in. So let's go in quickly!"
Before Big Head could finish speaking, several sisters had already walked into the cave entrance one after another. Moreover, they had already prepared tools and headlamps and walked towards the cave.
At this time, everyone is like a duck, squatting and walking slowly, but with the rope, everyone can be said to be very calm. It can be said that the only thing everyone believes in the most right now is the rope, because it will bring everyone safety.
But looking at Big Head behind him, he was in a lot of pain. For Big Head, a big fat man, to squat and march, it would kill him. Big Head had no choice but to squat.
Like a dog, I went in lying down. Although the water flow inside was very small, after climbing ten meters, my hands and pants, especially the knees and trouser legs, were soaked in water and worn out. If I squatted
As you walk, the water will just pass through the soles of the shoes. If the shoes are of better quality, water will naturally not get into them. Moreover, these sisters are very thin, so they can definitely walk in places without ditches.
In the end, everyone met up with Shui Xiaoxing, and several of them had headlamps. When there were more people, it could be said that the cave was illuminated very brightly. Xinyue stood up and said: "Wow! What a big cave, Brother Xiaoxing.
This doesn’t seem to be the tomb we are looking for!”
This cave does look very much like a naturally formed one. However, due to its age, even if it is not naturally formed, after hundreds of years of microclimate washing, it will become like a naturally formed one. There are no words or patterns in the cave.
, let alone the stone tablet in Jin Xuefu’s tomb, everything cannot be verified.
When Shui Xiaoxing saw everyone walking in, he said, "Do you think anyone has been to this cave before?"
"There must be one!" Lin Yao said casually.
"If this is the case, I'm afraid there won't be any new discoveries here. The entrance of the cave is only about ten meters away. It seems that everything in the cave has been looted long ago," Shui Xiaoxing walked to the edge of the cave and said.
But when he flicked his headlight towards the cave wall, he suddenly realized that this cave was no ordinary cave. Shui Xiaoxing said hurriedly: "Don't go inside yet, hurry up to the entrance of the cave!"
Xinyue's legs were fast and she ran in front of Shui Xiaoxing again. Just as she was about to touch the rock wall with her hand, Shui Xiaoxing hurriedly took Xinyue's hand and said, "Don't touch it!"
He hurriedly took Xinyue's hand and took a few steps back!
At this time, Lin Yao and others also came to Shui Xiaoxing and Xinyue one after another. Lin Yao said angrily: "Brother Xiaoxing, what are you doing!"
It turned out that Shui Xiaoxing had not let go of Xinyue's hand. Shui Xiaoxing knew what was going on, and the situation was very critical at this time. Shui Xiaoxing did not explain anything, but said sternly: "Everyone must not touch the rocks.
Wall!" At the same time, he also let go of Xinyue's hand.
Lin Yao saw that Brother Xiaoxing was very strict and was not joking, so she walked towards the rock wall to investigate. She also understood that this rock wall was similar to what she had seen in the Xinyi Village mine and even in the Xinyi Village tomb.
The rock walls are all completely different. This rock wall is extraordinary, it is made of cinnabar!
Lin Yao knows that this thing is poisonous. According to current science, it contains mercury, which is highly poisonous. According to the past, Taoist priests would have some of this thing in their hands, which is used to kill ghosts, zombies and other evil spirits!
This cinnabar mine contains a large number of crystals, which are mainly red. When the headlight flashes, it is very bright. Xinyue asked curiously: "Brother Xiaoxing, why can't you touch such a beautiful thing?"
In fact, cinnabar stone is cinnabar! Shui Xiaoxing said: "This is cinnabar! It itself is toxic, but a small amount may be fine, but with so much cinnabar, the toxicity may increase by dozens of times, so we might as well not do it!"
Only then did the new moon know Shui Xiaoxing’s intention. When Shui Xiaoxing mentioned cinnabar, everyone had heard of it, but few people had seen the cinnabar mine!
Although Shui Xiaoxing has used things like cinnabar, if she wants to understand it, she still needs Teacher Xiaoqing to understand better. She said: "This cinnabar is actually the name of traditional Chinese medicine. It can be said that there is no danger if you don't touch it. After heating and distilling the cinnabar ore,
Only then can mercury be extracted, which is a poisonous thing. This is where the mercury we mentioned comes from, but there are also natural mercury, but it seems to be very rare."
After Teacher Xiaoqing’s explanation, everyone had a new understanding of cinnabar, but Teacher Xiaoqing mentioned everything well, but she mentioned mercury! There is a cinnabar mine here. Has no one ever extracted mercury here before?
Shui Xiaoxing and Mao Doudou thought of this first, and Shui Xiaoxing was also worried that these sisters would have another situation. If the content of this cinnabar is too high, and it is in contact with people for too long, it "may"
Can cause infertility in women!
This is not like gecko gecko. According to ancient legends, geckos were raised in earthen pots and the like, and fed with cinnabar every day. Cinnabar is cinnabar. When they ate about seven pounds of cinnabar, they mashed it and used it for
If you put it on a woman's body, it will be bright red. As long as nothing happens, it will be immortal for life. Once you have sex, it will disappear without a trace. However, it can only be used on unmarried women. Married women are absolutely
Ineffective.
But Shui Xiaoxing knew this, but was embarrassed to bring it up. Shui Xiaoxing looked at the water flow and found that it was all dripping from the stone wall. If it looked like this, then the water should be somewhat toxic, but also extremely potent.
It may become highly poisonous through some form of transformation!
Shui Xiaoxing asked: "Don't drink the water here. No one has ever touched this water!"
Several sisters shook their heads, but Big Head said: "What's up, Xiaoxing, what's that! My brother crawled in, and you can see that my hands and trouser legs are soaked!"
Shui Xiaoxing felt relieved for the time being. The woman said something to the woman, but she didn't say anything to the man. As long as the big head is not poisoned, Shui Xiaoxing said: "It's okay, you'll be fine if you don't drink!"
"
However, among the sisters present, there are still people who understand. Although Su Xin is silent, she has read a lot of books and is very knowledgeable. However, she has not seen cinnabar with her own eyes, so it is difficult to distinguish. This is something that everyone is sure of.
