Mountains and seas close at hand

Under Ji Baoai's education, I decided to change my mind and start a new life, and went to the bottom of the cliff to see for myself.Miss Bai was worried about me and insisted on following me.I thought it might not be safe to leave her alone, so I agreed.

Turn on the walkie-talkie and ask Chubb what's going on underneath.Chubb said he saw a cave.I realized that the rabbit was likely to go in, and told him not to act rashly until we came down.

Chubb was suddenly silent about our decision to go down.This obvious silence means rejection.I can still understand his thoughts.

I pressed the intercom, and immediately said to him: "Chubu, these things you sent up are of high historical and cultural value, but if they are auctioned in the market, each piece will only cost tens of thousands of dollars."

I thunderbola said a bunch, and promised to find all the distribution rights in him.Chubu didn't know that Ji Bao was standing behind me holding a gun, so he readily agreed.

After weighing the decision, I will go down first.

To be honest, looking at the bottomless cliff, as I have never done this kind of extreme sports, it is too exciting.

I was almost pushed down by Ji Bao. Fortunately, this kind of full-body seat belt reduces the demand on hand strength.Otherwise, let alone 170 meters, I can't support even 7 meters.

I almost moved a little bit to the bottom of the cliff.

The white mist looks thick from above, but when it is really close, it feels nothing.By the time he realized he was in the white mist, he couldn't see anything around him clearly.

This feeling of looking up and not seeing the sky and looking down is too scary.I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, a terrible monster will appear next to me.Immediately speed up the descent, and when seeing Chubu, it was like seeing a relative, and he felt a lot of peace of mind.

I didn't expect that there was a boxy pool below.Unconventional, just a square.

Just below the rope is a stone step, which is densely covered with things, and there is no place to stand. I can only step on the cultural relics.

After hoisting the rock climbing equipment up, I looked around, and there was a vague impression in my mind, and I said to myself: "The outside is round and the inside is square, forming a world of its own. This place is a bit interesting..."

Chubb didn't even notice what I was saying.He squatted on the ground, rummaging among a pile of pottery and stone tools, looking for things that looked valuable.I saw him smashing a ring-foot jar with a push, and I was so distressed that I wanted to cry.

"Be careful!"

Chubb was taken aback, looked up at me, and nodded, "Oh." As he spoke, I saw his foot move, crushing a painted pottery bowl.

I covered my heart, simply out of sight and out of mind.

This stone step is very long and occupies one side of the square.Extending down into the pool, I don't know how deep it is.Upward is a stone wall, and in the middle is a dark cave, surrounded by strange patterns, similar to what I saw on the stone wall.

The size and layout of the place is very strange.Ancient religious beliefs are all nature worship, offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars.I haven't heard of it yet, offering sacrifices in caves.

Still such a cave under a cliff.

If it is tombs, there is indeed a custom of rock burials in the south.A cave was dug high on the cliff and the coffins of the ancestors were buried in it.Such a ventilated and dry environment is conducive to the preservation of corpses.

I took a look at Chubb, who was as conscientious and meticulous as a scavenger.It suddenly occurred to me that I have a mobile phone, and I can take pictures of the patterns on the stone wall.When we were all very busy, Ji Bao came down.Seeing Ji Bao, Chubu stood up with a "swipe", and pulled out the machete at his waist vigilantly, with a murderous look on his face.

I quickly said to him: "Chubu, she just came here. Don't worry, everything we agreed before will not change. This time we are mainly looking for former friends, and there is no conflict with you."

Chubb looked at the gun in Ji Bao's hand, and put away the knife in doubt.Ji Bao glanced at him and looked around with great interest.I quickly walked under the rope and waited for Miss Bai to come down.

Ji Bao took out his flashlight and shined it into the cave. The effective range of this strong flashlight is several hundred meters.I saw her adjust the focus, but adjust it anyway.This cave is like a black hole, except for the beam of the flashlight, everything else is pitch black.

When Ms. Bai came down, we cleaned up a bit, and the four of us negotiated an agreement of "safety first, nothing else is important".

The cave is very quiet, except for our footsteps and breathing, there is no sound at all.The sound of water droplets and wind that I had imagined was absent.Only the sound of the beating heart grew louder and louder, almost popping out of the chest.

Outside the lights, it was pitch black.

The darkness in the cave seemed to swallow everything, including sound.I even sometimes feel like there is no one behind me.In the empty cave, echoes echoed repeatedly, breaking our footsteps even more.I had to struggle to make out the sound of Chubb's footsteps behind me.

For unknown reasons, no one spoke, and the silence was terrifying.In such an empty, dark, and desolate strange environment, everyone's nerves were tense.

At this moment, Ji Bao in front suddenly stopped. She put her watch in front of the flashlight and said in a strange tone: "We have been walking for 10 minutes."

I glanced at my watch and said, "You can walk at a normal speed, maybe 700 meters."

Miss Bai next to me said: "In this environment, we will walk a little slower, but at least four to five hundred meters."

Four 500 meters... nothing but the stone walls of the cave.The light from the flashlight shone on the stone walls on both sides, which were smooth and smooth.Who dug out this cave?for what?Where does this end lead to?

"Let's go." Ji Bao said.

With doubts, we continued on our way.

The road seemed endless, and we were stuck in the Minotaur's labyrinth, except that not a single Minotaur escaped.

Physical strength was exhausted little by little, and the footsteps were so heavy that they almost dragged on the ground.I became anxious and had trouble breathing.Rather something appeared to break the deathly silence.

Miss Bai suddenly stopped and turned around. I almost bumped into her, and quickly said, "Sorry."

She took a step back and asked softly, "Are you uncomfortable?"

I don't know how to answer. If the person asking me now is a boy or a female warrior, I can probably say confidently: Yes, I am about to die.

But in front of Miss Bai, I really can't say it.She looks thin and thin, and her complexion is the kind of paleness that has not seen the sun in the office all year round.With such a small body, I haven't cried out yet.I don't have the nerve to be cowardly in front of her.

I quickly waved my hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

Miss Bai turned to Ji Bao and said, "Let's take a rest."

Ji Baoen said: "Okay, you guys take a rest here, I'll go ahead and have a look."

I just wanted to sit down, and when I heard her say that, I quickly stopped her: "Don't! You also take a break, and don't act alone. This place is so evil, everyone, don't run around."

"I feel like we're turning a corner. I'm going to the front. You can see if the light is straight." Ji Bao said and walked forward. I couldn't persuade him at all.

Miss Bai asked Chubb to turn on the spare flashlight.I watched the spot of light representing Ji Bao get farther and farther away, and my heart became tighter and tighter.I was afraid that the light spot would suddenly go out.

There is no signal on the walkie-talkie, we can only communicate by switching the flashlight on and off.It is suggested that Ji Bao stand in the middle of the cave and turn around every 3 minutes.Set the flashlight to spotlight mode and reduce the power to minimum.Let us judge whether the cave is straight or curved by whether the light source is in the exact center.

At the second 2 minutes, we obviously felt that the light source of the flashlight was closer to the mountain wall on the right!

I immediately asked Chubb to turn off the flashlight and then turn it on again.This is the signal we agreed upon.Then on Ji Bao's side, the flashlight flashed twice, and she shouted, "Come here."

The three of us walked over, looking at the darkness in front and behind.My heart tightened, and I hurriedly said to Ji Bao: "This is a maze, let's go back!"

Ji Bao replied: "If it's a maze, what's the difference between going forward and backward? You won't be able to find your way back."

I was dizzy, thinking about it in a daze, and suddenly I was at a loss.As Ji Bao said, if this is a maze, we will not be able to go forward or backward.

Miss Bai suddenly asked: "Do you believe that there are mazes in this world?"

Putting her hands on her shoulders, she said unhurriedly: "A maze is a maze with an exit and an entrance. Those who cannot get out are dead ends."

After being trapped in this cave for a long time, even Ji Bao, who is as bold as he is, was a little restless, and spoke in a very aggressive tone: "Say what you have, and go around in circles."

Naturally, Miss Bai didn't care as much as she did, and asked instead: "When did you realize something was wrong, did you enter the hole?"

Ji Bao shook his head: "I didn't feel it at all at first, but just now the more I walked, the more something went wrong."

Miss Bai nodded, and asked again: "Did you make a mark on the wall?"

Ji Bao shined his flashlight on the wall, and saw a white symbol on the gray stone wall.Chubb and I were stunned, and the two of us leaned together to watch.It's like drawing a straight line at random, which is neither obvious nor conspicuous.

"What number is this?"

"58."

"Did you see what was left before?"

"No."

"I have a guess." Miss Bai turned around and said to me, "Banyan, do you still remember the pattern on the jade weight?" She stretched out her finger and drew a few circles in the air.

I think of that swirl.

Spiral is a very common texture.First appeared on primitive earthenware porcelain.Bronze ware and jade ware also appeared in large numbers.Because of its round shape, the inner circle is decorated with swirling arcs along the sides and a small circle in the middle.Some people say that it represents the vortex formed by the water flow, also known as the vortex pattern.Some people also believe that the shape of the scroll pattern is like the sun, which is the fire of heaven, so it is called fire pattern.There is a cloud pattern very close to it.

So I didn't think much about it at all, because this pattern is so common.

"The outer circle is very large, so it is difficult for us to feel that we are taking a detour. As we get closer to the center, the circle becomes smaller and smaller. The senses become more and more obvious." Miss Bai took out her mobile phone, and the dim light on the screen reflected With a serious look on her face, she clicked on the calculator, "If this labyrinth conforms to the Archimedes spiral, then calculate according to the planar Cartesian coordinate equation of the Archimedes spiral... we need one more kilometer, we can close to the center of the circle."

Ji Bao took the lead and greeted us: "Then what are you waiting for, we've come so far anyway!"
