The years of reselling the haunted house

I understand that this is because of the wind in the cave.

It was the wind that moved the fire.But we didn't obviously feel the presence of wind.

It seems that the sensitivity of human skin is still slightly worse.

The third uncle said: "There is wind, which means that the exit is close to the front. Be careful, everyone, walk ahead and have a look."

I nodded, stepped up my guard, and continued to walk forward along the cave.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance further, we smelled a relatively fresh air again.After staying in this cave for a long time, the space is relatively airtight, coupled with the relative humidity here, we all feel a little lack of oxygen.So this breath of fresh air came and we felt it very quickly.

And the flame on the torch in Uncle San's hand shook even more than before, and we could also feel the wind blowing from the side of the cave.

We all involuntarily quickened our pace, which shows that we are very close to the exit.

But as we were moving forward, I suddenly heard the sound of water flowing.And as it continued to move forward, the voice became louder and louder.

None of the three of us stopped. The sound of water may also be a sign that we have found the exit.

Later, the sound of the water became louder and louder, until finally it sounded like a torrent of bells.The sound of rumbling water sounds full of momentum, but it also aroused my great interest.

It sounds like the sound of water is definitely not the movement that ordinary water can make.

None of the three of us spoke. At the same time, we quickened our pace and followed the passage to a very wide hole.

When we turned into the hole, our eyes were suddenly clear, and a lot of sunlight came in.

We first let out a low cry at the same time. It seems that we have already penetrated the mountain and reached the exit of the cave.

At this time, the rumbling sound of water we heard became more and more deafening. We followed the sound of the water and searched forward. We walked around a bend in the cave, and a huge water curtain appeared in front of us.

It was a waterfall, rushing down from above, making a sound like a bull's roar.

A large amount of water droplets rushed to the nearby cliff stones and splashed into the cave.The three of us were standing behind the waterfall at this time.

There is indeed an exit of the cave here, but this exit is blocked by this huge waterfall.There is no gap left.

This is a bit like the Water Curtain Cave of the Monkey King described in Journey to the West. The cave is hidden behind the waterfall.

The waterfall rushed down, the water flow was very fast, and it slapped on the mountain wall with great force.

I casually found a fist-sized rock in the cave, and threw it towards the water curtain.

As a result, an accident happened. The stone hit the water curtain, but did not penetrate the water curtain. Instead, it was hit by the rushing water and bounced back quickly. It hit the nearby cave wall with a bang, and the stone was hit. gotta smash.

This scared us a lot, and the gravel almost hurt us.

"Nephew, you are crazy, you almost killed us." The third uncle yelled.

"Li Yang, the impact of this water curtain is huge enough. Stop thinking of rushing out from here." Qian Qingfeng also said.

Now that we know the power of the current, no one dares to venture out of the waterfall under such circumstances.

The three of us stood in front of the waterfall, all a little helpless.We originally wanted to go through the cave to see what was inside the mountain.But it was blocked tightly by this waterfall, and there was no way at all.

The third uncle put out the torch and spread his hands: "It's a waste of time again, this water curtain is so big, there is no way to get out."

Qian Qingfeng and I were also a little discouraged, and the little hope that had finally risen disappeared with the appearance of this waterfall.

The third uncle waved his hand, took off the backpack on his back and threw it on the ground, and said: "If you come here, you can rest easy. Let's sit down and rest for a while, and then we can eat something. I'm exhausted after walking all this way." .”

We hurried all the way, and we were indeed a little tired.

After the idea of ​​going out was cut off, we could no longer be mentally tense, and we could finally relax our tense nerves.

Qian Qingfeng and I also took off our backpacks, sat in the cave, found something to eat, and replenished our energy while resting.

For this operation, Hai Long prepared a lot of supplies for us, besides the dry food we ate on the road, there were also a lot of food like compressed biscuits.It's just that the food is so bad that none of us want to eat it unless we have to.

Now that we have all the dry food on us, this compressed biscuit has become a good thing.

The three of us sat on the ground, took out the compressed biscuits, and rested while nibbling on the biscuits.

Chapter 1436 Murals

Although the taste of the biscuits is average, there may be a lot of creamy spices added in it, and it still smells very fragrant.It's just that the biscuit was too dry, I couldn't eat half of it.

I sat on the ground holding the biscuit, choking and hiccupping.

Qian Qingfeng and third uncle are still trying to eat the biscuits, which is also responsible for themselves.Our body's energy supply now depends entirely on this biscuit.

And after I stopped chewing, I heard a little sound in my ear.

The sound was separated from the sound of the waterfall, and it sounded a bit like the buzzing sound of bees flying.

I couldn't help but turned my head and looked around, only to be surprised to find that a lot of bee-sized flying insects suddenly flew out from the walls around the cave.

Those flying insects should have been lying on the wall all the time, but now they flew away from the wall for some unknown reason.

A lot of flying insects have already flown into the air, hovering in mid-air, bumping around, as if they are looking for something.

"Hey..." I couldn't help shouting in surprise.

Seeing me like this, third uncle and Qian Qingfeng stopped eating the biscuit and looked aside.

At this time, the flying insects that were already flying in the air began to gather, and then quickly flew towards the three of us.

"What?" I exclaimed, it seems that my worry was correct, there are still such weird creatures in this cave.We haven't found these things along the way, and our defense has been relaxed.When I got here, I found the water curtain, but I forgot to check the wall next to it.

Now that these flying insects are flying over, they don't know how powerful they are.

According to past experience, if these flying insects are poisonous insects, even if they are just ordinary bees, it will be very troublesome if they attack us in a large area and we have nowhere to hide.

"No, come on, let's go." Seeing that the situation was not good, the third uncle yelled, and the three of us hurriedly got up from the ground.

But the speed of those flying insects was extremely fast, and before we could make the next reaction, they had already flew in front of us.Looking closely now, these flying insects are not bees, but somewhat similar to common flies.I can't tell what kind of creature it is, let alone recognize it.

There were flying insects flying by in front of me, I subconsciously waved my hand, trying to drive them away.

As a result, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I felt a pain in my fingertips, like being stung by a bee, followed by a sting.

I shivered, and quickly stopped.

"Don't move around. They're not coming at us. Throw the biscuit away." The third uncle saw the trick, shouted, and threw his own biscuit at the same time. .

Qian Qingfeng and I also let go, throwing the remaining half of the biscuit on the ground.

The flying insects that were circling in the air whimpered, changed their directions, and flew towards the three biscuits.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that they came for the three biscuits.Soon, I couldn't see the three biscuits, because they were all densely packed with flying insects.Moreover, flying insects flew down from the wall in a steady stream, flying towards the three biscuits, and soon formed three balls composed of flying insects on the ground.

And these flying insects had no obvious attempt to attack people, so we felt relieved and quickly evacuated to a corner.

I took a look at the finger that was stung by the flying insect, it was slightly red and swollen. Since the injured area was not large, it seemed that there would be no more serious injuries.And the blood in my body is quite special, and ordinary toxins should not be able to cause harm to me.So I'm not worried about this injury, it's okay for me.

These flying insects look like as long as you don't mess with them, we are at least safe.

I pointed to the flying insects and said, "It must be the creamy smell on the biscuits that provoked them."

Qian Qingfeng glanced at the walls around him and said, "It turned out that they have been sucking on the wall of the cave all the time. This habit is really special..."

While Qian Qingfeng was talking, he suddenly walked straight towards the cave wall on one side, as if he had discovered something.

Seeing this, my third uncle and I followed closely.

It turned out that the wall was covered with flying insects, and those flying insects were also black, so we didn't find anything unusual on the wall. Now that these flying insects have left the wall, the original things on the wall It was revealed.

I found that there are many colored paintings on the walls of this cave, but it may be because of the age that the color of the colored paint on these paintings is very dim.

The pictures painted on the wall are naturally murals.

It was these strange murals on the wall that attracted Qian Qingfeng's attention.

When we entered this cave, we didn't expect these murals to appear. Now that they have appeared, it can only be said to be a kind of windfall.

We were all interested. In order to see the murals on the wall clearly, we turned on two flashlights and shone on the wall.

And those flying insects in the cave quickly finished eating the three biscuits, and flew back to the wall one after another.But it may be that they are a little uncomfortable with this kind of strong light. They will avoid the place where the flashlight hits, which also allows us to see the murals on the wall smoothly.

Qian Qingfeng looked at it very carefully.

I first looked around at the surrounding walls, and took a rough look at the murals. I felt that the murals in the cave should have continued in a circle from the side we looked at.The mural at the back was not illuminated by the flashlight, and there were still many flying insects crawling on it.If those pictures are connected together, it should be a complete set of content.

Qian Qingfeng looked at it, and suddenly took out a magnifying glass from his bag, and used the magnifying glass to carefully study the contents of this and that painting.

Only then did I notice that on the mural, there were a lot of words mixed in, which should be to explain the picture.It's just that the script is very small, and a lot of it has fallen off, so it looks incomplete.

Qian Qingfeng used a magnifying glass, probably to see the writing on it clearly.

It is worth noting that the characters on it are not the characters on the token, but normal Chinese characters. The writing is also very neat, but it is really difficult to read without a magnifying glass.

As for those pictures, I probably took a few glances. Most of the paintings in the front of the picture are generals and soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons. The picture should depict a large-scale battle.

The murals are very finely drawn, and the painters are also good. They vividly depict the scenes of people shouting, flags fluttering, and swords fighting on the battlefield.

The war on the screen is extremely tragic. Even if I stand in front of the painting, I seem to be able to smell the thick smoke of gunpowder at that time and feel the tragedy of the battlefield.

Chapter 1437 Mural ([-])

When Qian Qingfeng saw those murals, he became more and more excited the more he looked at them, and took out another notebook. I saw that his hands began to tremble.

He read it while memorizing it, and muttered in his mouth, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.

I don't want to bother him, so I just took a flashlight and showed it to him.Follow behind him, from the front of the screen to the back along the cave wall.

Qian Qingfeng seemed to have forgotten the environment he was in, and the third uncle and I were beside him. He had already devoted himself to the mural.

Sometimes he looked at the mural with a magnifying glass in a daze, sometimes he muttered to himself, and sometimes he wrote down something in his notebook.Seeing Qian Qingfeng's state at this time, it was like being stupid.

When my third uncle and I saw this mural, it was like reading a comic book when we were young, just watching it for fun.As for the meaning that this mural wants to express, at least I don't understand at all.

The only thing that makes me sigh is that this mural is very wonderful, and the ancient battlefield depicted is so realistic. I know that any ancient war involved is a dispute of interests.And the mural in front of me, although most of the pictures depicted are gold and iron horses, and gold and iron, but there is a kind of family and country feeling conveyed from inside and outside the painting. Although I didn't understand it, but An emotion that can be felt.

And as far as I know, murals like this one were probably painted by someone at that time and left for later generations.He definitely wanted to describe a historical event, and let future generations know in this way.

And Qian Qingfeng happened to be an expert in the study of history. When he saw this mural, he must have found it like a treasure.And we originally planned to return the same way after eating and resting for a while because there was a water curtain in front of us blocking the way.

But the unexpected appearance of these murals completely disrupted our plan.

Although we don't know if this mural is related to the secrets we want to discover, at this time we can only wait for Qian Qingfeng to understand it before making any plans.

Qian Qingfeng's study of this mural is not just for watching, so it is very time-consuming.The age of this mural should not be short. Ordinarily, in this environment, it is not easy for this mural to be preserved in a relatively complete way.

Because it is blown by the wind from the entrance of the cave all the year round, and the water vapor here is very heavy, the humid environment is not conducive to the preservation of these murals.If there were no special preservation measures, the colors on the murals would have fallen off long ago.

But it is so secretive here that no professionals should have done any maintenance on the murals.Now that I think about it, the relatively complete preservation of this mural should be attributed to the strange flying insects that resemble flies that are attached to the mural.

Although I don't know the specific names of these flying insects, their functions are already obvious.It may be that the remaining colors on the murals attracted them. They adsorbed on the murals, on the one hand to prevent the wind from blowing directly on them, on the other hand, they may also isolate the water vapor, and it is even possible that they themselves have the function of absorbing water vapor .In short, under various chances and coincidences, through their protection, we have seen such a mural that is likely to be of extraordinary value.

Seeing Qian Qingfeng's level of concentration and devotion, one can imagine that the value of this mural must be very high.

It's just that Qian Qingfeng studied the mural very slowly, and my third uncle and I didn't dare to disturb him, so we could only patiently accompany him, moving the position little by little, from the beginning of the mural to the end.

And although the water curtain of this cave blocked the way, it couldn't block the sunlight.When we first came here, the sun just shone through the water curtain.In the process of Qian Qingfeng studying the mural, the sunlight also decreased bit by bit, and finally disappeared.

I estimated the time, we have spent more than half a day in this cave, the sky has already started to get late, and the night is about to come again.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If we can still guarantee relative safety during the day, at night, dangers and threats may follow one after another.And we have entered this cave, and it is not yet possible to say whether it is beneficial or harmful to us.

I glanced at my third uncle, who shook his head at me.Obviously, the third uncle wanted to wait until Qian Qingfeng had studied the mural clearly before making any plans.This was also our previous thought, but we didn't expect that Qian Qingfeng would spend so long looking at this mural.

And this mural is really attractive to those flying insects. Where our flashlights did not shine, those flying insects bit on the mural again, completely covering the mural.This also verified my guess that these flying insects can protect murals.

Fortunately, it may be that he found the rules of these murals. Later, Qian Qingfeng's speed of viewing the murals gradually accelerated. In a short period of time, his notebook was densely filled with things.

I continued to use the flashlight to illuminate Qian Qingfeng. Thanks to the sufficient power of this flashlight, otherwise our few lighting equipment might be consumed on this mural.

Qian Qingfeng circled the inner circle of the cave for more than half a circle, and finally saw the end layout from the beginning position of the mural.

After reading the last picture and memorizing the last page, Qian Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and wanted to say something to us, but his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

I hurried over to help him. Qian Qingfeng may have been standing for too long and concentrated too much energy. In addition, his two legs still had old injuries, which caused his legs to feel numb. At this time, he should be very uncomfortable.

However, Qian Qingfeng rubbed his legs with his hands, but his face couldn't hide his excitement.

"Mr. Qian, what did you discover that makes you so excited? Don't tell me that this mural is also an ancient site similar to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Then this discovery will be a big hit, enough to shock the world." Third Uncle Come and ask.

Qian Qingfeng waved his hand: "That's not that serious. The scale of this mural is so small, and the age is not too far away. I conclude that it should be left in the Ming Dynasty. It is only more than 500 years old. And this mural only records A local battle that took place at that time was not very representative, and its archaeological value can only be said to be of medium value."

The third uncle asked puzzledly: "Then why are you so excited? I thought you had made some big discovery."

Qian Qingfeng added: "Of course this is a great discovery, because the battle described in the murals has been recorded in history, but this is the first time I have seen the picture. This battle is very important for enriching the accumulation of historical materials near Jiayuguan. , plays a very important role.”
