Chapter 28 Entering the trailer

We stayed at the entrance of the cave for a long time to discuss the possibility of this cave. During this period, Chen Pi A Si suddenly died of stagnation for a while and then miraculously recovered. We were puzzled, but Chen Pi A Si didn't seem to want to mention what had happened just now, and there was no way, so we had to turn our attention back to this strange ice cave.

We surrounded the edge of this cave and discussed the specific issues of the lower cave. Although we have experienced many cave explorations, we are all in plains and mountainous areas, which are very different from here and need to be discussed for a long time.

The hole was slanted at about 40 degrees at the beginning, and it was very deep and not easy to walk. Just now, if the fat man and the others fell down, it would be very dangerous. They might roll in the hole again, and then their heads might be flattened when they fell.

Pan Zi threw down a fluorescent stick, and the yellow cold light rolled down quickly, bounced a few times in a distance, and disappeared.

If Monk Hua’s statement is correct, recall the trend between our two snow mountains, this cave must be a "v" route that goes down and then goes up. Because the two snow mountains belong to the same mountain range, the altitude of the canyon between the peaks is also very high. The distance between this "v" route should not exceed 5 kilometers.

Of course, if the craftsman Xiudou at that time liked "z" digging, then we had no choice, but we should not consider such reasonable things.

Since it is a manually excavated passage, there is no need to worry about oxygen. After discussing, we decided to explore the cave first. This time we prepared the weapon. If the corpse fetus is still inside, we will solve it on the spot.

Pan Zi dragged it in just now and was very embarrassed. He spitted on his hand and took out the climbing rope. He tied it to the fat man's waist and threw it down the hole. He climbed down first. After a while, he heard his scream and let us go down.

We also slid down the entrance of the cave one after another. The tunnel was very rough, and the stones were in and out, and the buttocks were cut all the way down. I climbed while observing the rocks on the side. These were the basalts that gushed out when the volcano erupted, with a large number of bubbles on them. The density of these stones was very unstable, some were hard like iron, and some were soft like tofu. I don’t know what the situation was like when the digging was made.

We went down one by one, and the fat man came down the last one. Suddenly, a bunch of people squeezed at the end of the slope of the stone path above, gasping for breath. We saw a lot of black liquid here, which must be the body fluid of the corpse fetus. But there was no shadow of the corpse fetus, and it might have gone deeper into the cave.

The narrow hole under the ice tilted down, and when it was turned below, it became narrow and narrow, and then went inside. The height of the cave seemed to continue to increase, and it suddenly became clear. The space seemed to become very large, but it was pitch black. The flashlight could not be shined in.

At first I thought that they deliberately set up a relatively wide tunnel when digging a tunnel. This is also a matter of attention when we open a hole, called the Pigeon Room. This place is used to stock up on air and place "soil". Of course, the method of the Pigeon Room is complicated. You dig out such a large space in the ground that allows two people to turn around without digging out a little Saturn from the hole. There is a very, very clever trick.

But as soon as the flashlight was shining, we were stunned. It turned out that the lineup had reached its peak. It was shrinking rapidly in front and narrowed. Finally, there was only one in front that could only be allowed to enter the crack of the ground rock, like an irregular sword mark, which was further penetrated into the mountain rock.

Pan Zi asked: "Didn't this mean this is the secret way for craftsmen to escape? It turned into a slit that made people look? Is it still going to go there?"

Monk Hua thought about it and suddenly made a sudden enlightenment expression and said, "I guessed it right. I think this path may be used to utilize natural volcanic caves. Volcanic caves are very common in the rock formations in the volcanic area and are well-connected. The longest volcanic cave can reach thousands of kilometers in length, like a spider web. Maybe this volcanic gap can reach the opposite Sansheng Mountain. It is precisely because of this that they can dig such a long secret path, which has been used to use the passage preset by nature. "

The fat man said, "Can we have to go into this crevicle too? You are all okay, my body is in a bad shape." The fat man said in the underwater tomb that he wanted to lose weight, but it has not been effective yet. Looking at his figure, it is still really bad.

Monk Hua said: "There should be no need to worry about this. These volcanic caves are all tree-like structures. These holes should all lead to larger gaps. This is called underground corridors in geology. Some underground corridors are very large in scale, and even their own unique ecosystems will be formed inside. I believe that the gaps will definitely widen soon after entering, because this kind of geological damage starts from the inside."

Monk Hua said it was so convincing, but I didn't believe him very much, but there was no reason to refute him at this time, so everyone rested for a while, rectified their equipment, and the fat man took the lead and continued to crawl into the gap.

The gap is pitch black, and flashlights are useless because that kind of blackness is all-round. In Europe, people believe that all these gaps lead to hell, and Tibetans also believe that caves are the territory of demons and never enter. Although I have had many such experiences, my heart still beats uneasy when I enter the gap.

After one after another, we walked sideways like crabs. The cave walls of this place have no traces of artificiality, and we can hardly turn our heads inside. Looking ahead, we see traces of glazed flowers. A large number of karst droplets of various colors cover all the rocks, with crystal clear frost on them, like condensed water columns arranged evenly.

I learned a little geology when I was studying architecture. I had a vague memory in my mind. The thing in front of me should be the volcanic eruption rock, which is the same as the volcanic gap we went in to take shelter when we encountered a blizzard. The emergence of this landform is different from the common volcanic caves. This gap is formed at the moment of the volcanic eruption, and then it rushes out at an extremely high speed. Its characteristic is that the volcanic gaps formed are extremely long, but the tunnel is single, and it will not form a group of maze caves like volcanic caves.

The gap was very narrow at the beginning, and we had to learn to move the breakdancing movement. Within fifteen minutes, we were sore all over, thinking about the craftsmen who fled back then. It was not easy to climb out. But as we walked, the gap was really as Monk Hua said, gradually widening, and finally we could turn around and move forward.

The gap was pitch black, but the surrounding glass and melted mica reflected our flashlight, making the surrounding light produce a magical effect. Coupled with the large area of ​​lava thorns covered by pyroclass, rope-shaped crust lava, and lava stalactites are dazzling and very beautiful.

As we walked deep, we gradually discovered some signs of human activities. For example, abandoned rust tools and bonfire traces are very old.

I didn't encounter anything strange along the way. The gap was very clean. After only nearly six hours of walking, we had arrived at the tunnel of the underground corridor as Monk Hua said. The gap here was very, very wide.

When the gap reached here, I found a lot of signs of manual construction, and on the side of the gap wall. Many simple steps were chiseled for the repair, and they kept going up. This step was said to be a step, but in fact it was just some prominent stones. If the feet were as big as fat, I would probably dizzy if I walked a few steps.

We stopped to rest, and I calculated a little bit. The distance we walked and the slope we were down, and found that the altitude we were at was lower than the snow line at this time. It may be located below the canyon between the two peaks. If these two peaks were walking on the surface, even if they were walking in a straight line, it would take at least eight hours. Now we have saved a lot of time when walking underground. If the border line above knew that there was such an underground corridor, it would definitely be surprising.

Then when we get here. If we continue walking at the bottom of the gap, we may have to go to the center of the earth. These simple steps probably mean that the tunnel has entered the second stage. At the end of the steps, perhaps the mysterious underground palace of the Yunding Heavenly Palace.

After resting for a while, the few people couldn't help but feel their mood, so they set off again immediately. But this time, the road was not so smooth.

We all connected each other with hiking ropes, and then tried to stick to the cliffs on one side. We walked up little by little bit by little by little by little, and at first, it was fine, but when we reached a certain height, we immediately felt like a rock climber, but we didn’t have any experience in rock climbing. This feeling was so panicked.

The fat man's feet are big, and he is walking on these steps like walking on stilts, so after walking a few steps, his feet have already started to tremble. I saw him chanting Amitabha Buddha.

Fortunately, I was careful all the way, almost like a woman doing needlework, climbing up little by little. Soon, there was a dark abyss below, and I couldn't estimate the height, so I would have been dizzy when I looked. If we hadn't come up from below just now, I would have thought that the bottom was hell.

In the following few hours, we went higher and higher. In the end, we could not judge where we were or when we were. Several people entered a state of confusion. But no one asked to rest. I don’t know if it was the natural greed of tomb robbers or because the environment here really couldn’t rest. You can imagine one foot on a stone the size of a palm, and one foot was hanging in the air, and there was a cliff below. How could you rest in?

As I walked, the sound of water suddenly came from all around me. I called a flashlight and found that there were several spring waterfalls on the cliff on one side, flowing along the cliffs, of varying sizes. I saw the water vapor above, and it seemed that it was a hot spring. I don’t know where the hot spring water flowed out, but the sound of water was very deep, and it seemed that there was activity of groundwater veins nearby.

The fat man asked us to climb over and wash our faces to make it comfortable. The nearest hot spring is only one hand away from him. In fact, we are already very tired all the way. In addition, we had the memory of resting by the hot spring last time, so several people wanted to stop here, but Shunzi shook his head and said, "No!" As he said that, he pointed to the rocks beside the hot spring. When we looked at it, we found nothing at first, but when we looked closely, we almost shivered.

I saw many very strange patterns on the rocks beside the hot spring. At first glance, I thought it was volcanic patterns, but when I looked closely, my hair was standing up. It turned out that these patterns were not on the rocks, but were actually snails of arms as thick as arms, scattered on it. The colors of these snails were exactly the same as the glazed volcanic stones on the edges, and they could not be distinguished without looking carefully.

We looked around and found that the stones here were almost covered with these things, motionless, as if they were dead.

We all calmed down all of a sudden, and Fatty Wu whispered: "What's going on? Why did we get into the insect nest?"

Shunzi whispered: "The creatures on the snow-capped mountains are usually concentrated by the hot springs, so don't think about going down as soon as you see the hot springs. Some hot springs are even lees. But the temperature is still cold now, and these things are half-dead here. Without particularly strong stimulation, they will not wake up. Let's go quickly, and after this period, it will be fine."

Several people started moving immediately. The fat man weighed his feet and asked while moving: "What does a particularly strong stimulus mean?"

Before he finished speaking, Shunzi suddenly waved his hand and told us not to move.

We didn't know what happened again, so we stopped moving immediately, stayed there like wooden men, staring at Shunzi, but Shunzi looked at the dark cliff abyss.

After a moment of silence, we gradually heard a "sparse" sound that made people feel frizzy, as if countless feet were rubbing against the rocks on the cliffs and approaching us.

"Switch off the flashlight." Shunzi said softly.

We immediately turned off the flashlight, turned around and saw that we were almost all the cliffs around us. The places we could reach were all small and small green light spots, as numerous as the sea of ​​stars. In this darkness, these billions of light and light are like magic, and we are like being in a universe of stars, which is spectacular and cannot be expressed in words.

However, when he looked down, he suddenly realized that the scene beside him was nothing. In the vain black under the abyss, a green galaxy meandered away, like a gorgeous emerald tassel on a deep black curtain, passing through the boundless darkness, from one end of the sky to another end.

I opened my mouth wide and couldn't believe what I saw. The number of windings under me was probably calculated in billions.
