Vermillion mole

Didn't come across anything weird along the way.The inside of the gap was very clean, and after only walking for nearly six hours, they finally reached a tunnel the size of an underground corridor. The gap inside was already very, very wide.

After stopping to rest, Zhu Sha calculated the distance traveled and the slope of the descent. At this time, the altitude was already lower than the snow line, and it might have been located below the canyon between the two peaks.

If these two mountain peaks were to walk on the surface, even if they walked in a straight line, it would take at least eight hours. Now they are walking underground, which saves a lot of time, and if the border defense line above knows that there is such an underground corridor, it must be Will be eye-popping.

When you get here, if you continue to walk at the bottom of the gap, you may have to go to the center of the earth. These simple steps probably indicate that this tunnel has entered the second stage. The end of the steps may be the mystery of Yunding Tiangong underground palace.

After resting for a while, even Zhu Sha couldn't control his mood, so he set off again immediately, but this time, the road was not so smooth.

Several of them are connected to each other with climbing ropes, and then stick to the cliff on one side as much as possible, stepping on the "stone steps" like a joke, and walk up bit by bit. I feel like a rock climber. Wu Xie has no climbing experience and is always scared. The fat man has big feet. He steps on these steps like he is on stilts, so after a few steps, his feet are already shaking. Look at him straight up. Recite Amitabha Buddha.

Fortunately, I walked carefully along the way, almost like a woman doing needlework, climbing up bit by bit.Soon, there was already a pitch-black abyss below, and the height could not be estimated.

In the next few hours, the few people walked higher and higher, and in the end they couldn't judge where they were, nor could they judge the time, and they entered a state of bewilderment.But no one proposed to rest. I don’t know if it’s because of the natural greed of the tomb robbers, or because the environment here really makes it impossible to rest. You can imagine that one of your feet is stepping on a stone the size of a palm, and the other foot is hanging in the air. Below is the cliff, how can you rest in it?

As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of water from all around. I turned on the flashlight and saw that there were several springs and waterfalls flowing along the cliff, with different sizes.Seeing the water vapor above, it looks like it's still a hot spring. I don't know where the hot spring water comes from, but the sound of the water is very loud. It seems that there are activities of underground water veins nearby.

The fat man asked everyone if they wanted to climb over to wash their faces and feel comfortable. The nearest hot spring was only one hand away from him. In fact, everyone was already very tired during the journey. Plus, there was a memory of resting by the hot spring last time. Several people wanted to stop here.

Zhu Sha refused: "Don't even think about it!" Pointing to the rocks beside the hot spring, the others saw nothing at first glance, but when they looked carefully, they almost shuddered.

On the rocks by the hot spring, there are many very strange lines. I thought it was volcanic lines at first glance, but when I looked closely, my hairs stood on end. It turned out that these lines were not on the rocks, but turned out to be the thickness of arms one by one. Anchovies, picked on top.The color of these gnats is exactly the same as the glazed volcanic rocks on the side, and it is impossible to tell them apart unless you look carefully.

They all looked around, only to find that the rocks here were almost covered with these things, motionless, as if they were all dead.

All of a sudden everyone became quiet, and the fat man said softly: "What's going on, how did we get into the bug's nest?"

Shunzi said softly: "The creatures on the snow-capped mountains are usually concentrated near the hot springs, so don't just think about going down to be comfortable as soon as you see the hot springs. Some hot springs are even full of leeches. But the temperature is still cold now, and these things are here. They are in a half-dead state, and they won’t wake up without a particularly strong stimulus. Let’s go quickly, and we’ll be fine after this period.”

Several people started to move immediately, and the fat man weighed his feet and asked as he moved, "What do you mean by particularly strong stimulation?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Sha waved his hand suddenly, telling everyone not to move.

The rest of the people immediately stopped moving, and stayed there like wooden figures, all staring at Zhu Sha, but Zhu Sha was looking at a dark cliff and abyss.

"Turn off the flashlight." Zhu Sha said softly.

Everyone immediately turned off their flashlights, and when they turned their heads, they were all startled. Almost the entire cliff around them, as far as they could see, were covered with faint green light spots, large and small, as numerous as a sea of ​​stars.In this darkness, these billions of lights are like magic, and the few people are like being in the universe of stars. The magnificence cannot be expressed in words.

Everyone looked down again, and suddenly realized that the scene around them was really nothing. They saw a green Milky Way meandering away in the emptiness and blackness under the abyss, like a gorgeous emerald tassel on a dark black curtain, passing through the boundless sky. Darkness, from one end of the sky, has been thrown to the other end.

Wu Xie opened his mouth wide, and couldn't believe what he saw, because the number of gnats under there was probably in the hundreds of millions.

Just when everyone was shocked by the incomparably spectacular scenery that could be described as a fairyland, suddenly from the light spots below, several huge red fluorescent lights flashed, and those fluorescent lights twisted and moved in the sea of ​​stars , and disappeared into the darkness at once. Obviously, some of the gnats below are not too small...

Shunzi's voice came from the darkness: "This kind of insect is worshiped as a god here, because it can live for a long time, and after a gnat dies, its corpse will attract many, many of its kind, so we Be very careful when walking and don't step on them."

As he spoke, he turned on the flashlight, and as soon as the flashlight was turned on, the green sea of ​​stars around him disappeared immediately, and suddenly turned into boundless darkness again.

Zhu Sha said at this time: "The flashlight is off, follow me, there are too many bugs, I can't suppress it."

Wu Xie, Pan Zi, and Fatty were a little panicked when they heard this, who is Zhu Sha, she couldn't suppress how serious it was.

Shunzi obediently turned off the flashlight, and the surrounding green sea of ​​stars reappeared immediately, cinnabar slowly climbed up along the stone steps, and carefully passed this section of the hot spring, the gnats gradually decreased, and they were no longer visible at the end Obviously, the ecological links of the snow mountains are all around the hot springs.

Without the stone-patterned gnats, the speed of the few people is relatively faster, but the darkness above seems to be endless, and they don't know when they will be able to walk out of the gap and walk to another exit of this natural passageway.

The fat man asked as he crawled, "By the way, old man, let me ask you something. At the station, you told us what happened to the dead body in Kowloon? I have been listening, but I didn't Heard you mention it again?"

Chen Pi Asi stopped to look at him, then at Monk Hua, and beckoned him to speak.Monk Hua explained: "We don't know either. All our information came from that dragon fish. Carrying corpses in Nine Dragons may be a lost funeral system. The original text records seem to be about Emperor Wannu. The coffin was carried by nine dragons, and the nine dragons guarded his body, no one could approach it, but the Jurchen language is almost lost, I translated something. I don’t know if it means that.”

"Wow, if the words on the fish are true, then if we want to open the coffin of Emperor Wannu, don't we have to learn from Nezha first and fight against the third prince of the Dragon King?" Ye Cheng joked.

"Then don't worry about it. I think the Nine Dragons Corpse Carrying Coffin probably has the nature of nine dragons carved on the bottom of the coffin. Think about it." The fat man said: "If there are really dragons, then we will get rich. Catch him and take him back, and release him in the Forbidden City, there will be a huge crowd of people keeping him, and the ticket money will cost tens of thousands.”

Wu Xie said: "With your talent, you only care about money. If you really want to catch the dragon, then you are Sun Dasheng. I haven't seen Sun Dasheng with your body."

The fat man was furious when he heard this, and cursed: "So what's the matter with being fat? Fat Lord, I go to the world, relying on this fat body. The situation changes suddenly with a shake, and the mountain shakes with a shake-oh!"

Fatty hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a gust of wind blew over from one side of the cliff, and he almost fell off, Zhu Sha quickly grabbed him and pulled him back against the cliff.Turning my head, I saw that the gap had reached the front and ended, and the stairs had reached the end of the gap. Walking through it again, there seemed to be a large space outside, but it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Zhu Sha took out the flares, 'Bang! With a sound, immediately, the meteor-like flare slid across a long arc, shot into the darkness in front of him, shot straight out 70 meters, and began to descend, and then a group of dazzling white blazing balls exploded, and the light suddenly exploded. It illuminated the entire darkness ahead.

Wu Xie wanted to raise the binoculars to look ahead, but when he raised his hand halfway, he froze.

Under the shining of white light, an extremely huge crater with a diameter of at least 3 kilometers appeared in front of us. The huge basin formed by the huge gray basalt was like a giant stone bowl, and the bowl we stood on the side On the wall, like a few small ants, extremely small.

"Unexpectedly, it was directly connected to the volcano." Pan Zi said.

Then Zhu Sha shot out two more flares, flying towards the top of the crater.Under the enhanced light, a majestic building complex appeared in the depths of the central underground forest of the volcanic basin. The huge black stone city was so dark that it was impossible to see the whole picture clearly.

The scale of the building complex is beyond imagination. If there is an underground palace under these buildings, then the scale of this place may be comparable to that of the Qinhuang Mausoleum.

According to the scene in the shadow painting of the underwater tomb, the real Yunding Tiangong should have been on top of our heads. After the avalanche, the above spiritual palace may be completely crushed. I don’t know how much deep snow is on the top of the head. Seal the earth.

Except for Shunzi and Zhu Sha, everyone's faces were filled with an almost fanatical excitement.Tomb robbery represents one of the most primitive desires of human beings, seeking wealth and exploring death. This kind of stimulation is probably unavoidable for human beings.

Zhu Sha said to everyone: "Leave the useless things, prepare the rope, and we will travel lightly."

Everyone began to tidy up their equipment, and put some of the discarded unnecessary things on the platform here, so as to avoid unnecessary risks caused by heavy-duty rock climbing.

Then all put on gas masks, and then use standard mountaineering steps to climb down the cliff step by step with ropes.

There are a large number of dead trees below, filled with a strange smell, even a gas mask can't filter it out.After everyone got down, they heard Zhu Sha say: "We have to hurry up, if we stay for a long time, we may die from lack of oxygen."

That is the sulfur-containing poisonous gas volatilized by volcanic activity.The toxicity is so strong that it is hard to imagine.

Monk Hua lit up the cold fireworks with strong lighting to illuminate the surrounding environment, looked around, and saw a two-car-wide stone road paved with stone slabs, leading almost straight ahead. This is the divine way of the mausoleum. , leading directly to the main entrance of the mausoleum.Here you can vaguely see a huge black shadow at the end.

Monk Hua asked Chen Pi Asi: "How shall we go?"

"Follow the divine way and enter the imperial mausoleum." Zhu Sha returned first.So everyone stopped talking nonsense and followed behind, trotting all the way over.

After climbing over many dead trees that collapsed on the Shinto, we soon came to a stone gate. The stone was very high, a bit like an archway in an ancient village.This is the first stone gate of the imperial mausoleum, called Tianmen. After passing through the stone gate, there will be a large number of stone carvings on both sides of the Shinto.

When passing through the stone gate, Chen Pi Asi said: "When you come out, remember to walk backwards, so as not to bump into the gate of death."

Running and running, suddenly, the fat man running in front of me stopped, Wu Xie followed behind the fat man, bumped into his arms, and fell to the ground.

This was really sudden, and the fat man was almost knocked down by Wu Xie, Wu Xie hurriedly asked him what he was doing.

The fat man turned his head to look behind him, his face was pale, and he said softly, "It seems that there is someone standing by the side of the road."

Zhu Sha noticed that Wu Xie had stopped, and turned back.Asked: "What's going on?"

When the fat man told what he saw, the others couldn't believe it.

Pan Zi said: "It's a stone man, you read it wrong, right?"

The fat man shook his head, "It passed in a blink of an eye. I just realized it. Look at me, I'm covered in cold sweat. I guess I read it right."

Wu Xie asked, "Did you see clearly?"

"It seems to be a woman, but I can't be sure." The fat man said, "I ran too fast, I didn't see it clearly." "

Everyone shone their flashlights on the stone figures behind them. The stone figures were located every five meters. Six or seven of them had already run away in the blink of an eye. The woman the fat man mentioned was not within the range of the flashlight. Maybe she was still there. further back.

Monk Hua asked: "Old man, do you want to go back and have a look? Maybe it's the woman from that gang?"

Monk Hua refers to Aning. They walked through the main entrance of Yunding Tiangong. Even if they have successfully crossed the border, they should be digging a hole above our heads now. They are definitely not as fast as us.

The fat man also said: "That's definitely not the case. If it's that girl, I will definitely recognize it at a glance."

Chen Pi Ah Si hesitated for a moment, and immediately said to Monk Hua: "You and the others go there first," and then patted Shun Zi: "Accompany me to have a look."
