Chapter 10
The entire cave is milky white as far as the eye can see, and it seems that only the entrance we came in had traces of blood.The fat man jumped down the steps, approached a pool of water to study, and took a sip of the water.I shouted: "Fatty! You don't want to die! It's not Shangganling, so it's hard to say whether the water is poisonous or not!" Hot springs, medicinal baths for recuperation, saying that the water quality is not good is deceiving people, and you are stupid if you believe it.”
I got angry: "I'm stupid and I don't drink that water, who knows if there are any fingers and toes of the rice dumpling falling in it!" Poker bottle coughed softly, and jumped down too, the fat man was laughing on the ground by the pool: "I said naive, you're so fucking funny. There are fish and shrimps in this water, you're afraid of being a jerk. I'm so hungry, I don't eat anything, and I can take a bite of the zongzi when it comes out!" said the fat man. That's right, we haven't had dinner yet after being disturbed by wild boars, and my stomach growls thinking about it.
Poker Bottle also checked the water source, indicating that I was fine. I followed depressedly, took out the dry food in the bag, and the three of us sat by the pool to make do with food.The pool is very shallow, and the water in the pool is very clear, and there are some small swimming creatures. It is estimated that they have lived in the dark for thousands of years, their photoreceptors have degenerated, and their bodies are also translucent. One, like a big river prawn, fluttered in the palm of my hand. "Hey, what do you two say will the taste of this thing be? We need to scoop up more water and boil it, maybe it's not bad."
I didn't bother to talk to Fatty, so I looked at Poker-Face and asked, "Brother, let's go here now, do we have any goals?" Poker-Face looked at the hemisphere below: "I don't remember coming down the shaft. This place is probably an altar, if there is any clue, I am afraid I have to go to the center of the pool to find it.”
The fat man suddenly said "Ouch" and shook the thing in his hand, "Little Xiami also has pliers, so I made a mistake." I asked the fat man to avoid accidents, so he hurriedly finished his meal and got down to business, seeing that the magic weapon was in front of him, He wasn't in a hurry, did he change his gender?The fat man sprayed biscuit crumbs all over his mouth: "This bucket has been here for thousands of years, can it still grow legs to run, worry about these few minutes."
After entering this cave, except for the corpses that were moved collectively and the sharp knives in the lotus well, there are really no major twists and turns, but I always have a chilly feeling, as if there are countless pairs of eyes in the dark. Staring, very weird.
On the slope of the entire cave, there are more than [-] rows of steps from top to bottom, with a drop of about one meter. On the same floor, there are hundreds of kidney-shaped pools of uniform size arranged along the arc, and each pool is almost The size of a garage.The most puzzling thing is that there is a stalagmite about two meters standing in the center of each pool.I have specially observed the roof of the cave. There are some stalactite cones on the top of the cave, but the distribution is scattered, and the number is very small, and the length is far less than that of the stalagmites.
The fat man suddenly stepped into a puddle, stood beside the stalagmite and posed a poss, "Look at my posture, fat man! Does it look like that foreign brother with leaves hanging from his crotch?" I gave the fat man a sip. Also COS David. "You should be the David of the Tang Dynasty or the David of Tonga! The stalagmites are more handsome than you, and they are all tall Oscar statuettes!" I felt a "thump" in my heart, and I finally knew where the cold feeling came from.
These thousands of stalagmites have a slightly thicker top and a slightly thinner lower part. When the light is projected, the ups and downs on the surface of the stalagmites create shadows. From a distance, they look like a standing statue of a figure with arms crossed on his chest. "Fatty! Stay away from that stalagmite!" My voice trembled a little. This is a typical suspect's mentality of stealing an axe. Now I can see that all the stalagmites are all weird portraits without facial features. The suspected facial position can be figured out by me as insidious and cruel, "These motherfuckers are all portraits!!"
"Xiao Wu, you're nervous, it's not obvious that it's man-made. There are so many identical stone pillars, do you really think they're all natural? The stones raised their middle fingers together? Singing WEARETHE?" The fat man raised his hand to pat the stone pillar, " I've seen it before..." With a "snap", the fat man's hand was bounced off by a small stone, and Poker said in a deep voice, "Don't touch it. There is something inside."
Pokerfing's words were extremely lethal, the fat man moved faster than a rabbit, and rushed back immediately.I feel a little hairy, and at the same time a little depressed, why didn't you say it earlier, Boyouping, it's not a good feeling to be stared at by thousands of stone statues who don't know what they are holding.
To be honest, not only Boyouping, but also my fake third uncle, has a bad temper, panting when he speaks, refuses to say anything clearly, and insists on covering it up.I am a small antique dealer, even if I know some old secrets, what can I change?And who is the person who looks so similar to me in the videotape?When did the third uncle in my memory turn into Xie Lianhuan?From the rubbing of the silk book, I was drawn into a huge vortex. Along the way, the mystery became bigger and bigger, but I couldn't find the exit. peaceful.
I have been thinking wildly in my mind for a while, and I have already descended to the pool. The water in this big pool is not as clear as the one above. There are probably dark sediments at the bottom of the water, and the visibility is very low.Poker bottle was the first to get into the water, the water was not deep and only reached his shoulders, I put the backpack on my head, there were food and medicine in the bag, try not to get wet as much as possible.As for Fatty, his movements were so hasty, he had already rushed to the front, it was really difficult for him to have such a large surface resistance.
The hemisphere in the center of the pool has a radius of about two to three meters. According to this calculation, the size of the coffin inside will not be too outrageous.What I am most curious about is the material of this tomb bag, such a natural calcification, could it be that it was formed in a mold like raising pearls, and then let the groundwater naturally cover and precipitate?
Poker-Face probed several places of the stone ball with his hand, turned to me and the fat man and said, "There is more than one floor below." As he spoke, he pressed his fingertips hard, and I watched him hold his breath. strength.Suddenly, there were two very slight "clacks", and a hair-thin crack was cracked on the surface of the stone under Poker Face's finger. He gasped for a few breaths, and it seemed that the strength was getting stronger, and he said, "It's done, pry it open." .”
The fat man had been waiting for this time, and he swung a pickaxe vigorously, and he dug open the gap with a few strokes. With a sound of "poof", the pick was embedded in the stone quite a bit deep, and the fat man pulled it hard, "Ha la!" With one blow, a stone shell as big as a car door and more than a foot thick fell down.
A blue-black curved surface was exposed under the stone shell. I stopped the fat man and leaned over to look at it myself.From the color, it looks like a bronze ware, with fine patterns on the surface, and the lines are simpler than the surface of the earliest Shang Dynasty ware in my impression.I started to peel the stone shell on the side while watching, the fat man patted me, "Xiao Wu get out of the way, do you think you are peeling tea eggs? After I finish opening, you can study slowly."
Limestone is not very hard, and the fat man fell down in pieces with a few picks.The part under the stone shell became more and more exposed. Looking at the exposed half of the bronze ball, I felt more like an upside-down frying pan, so I asked Boyouping in bewilderment: "Brother, have you ever seen such a bucket?" ? Pure bronze cap? Is there still a spherical coffin?"
Pokerfing frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to touch the surface, hit his knuckles hard a few times, the sound was a little muffled, but both the fat man and I could tell that although the bronze layer was thick, it was hollow.The fat man chiseled a pick into the copper, and I said, "Fatty, take it easy, I don't know if there is a mechanism in this thing, I'm sure you'll get down with the pick, and we'll all be blown up." The fat man swung the pick: "You're stupid, What age is this stuff, and when was it invented? Thousands of years ago!" After speaking, he continued with a pickaxe.
At this time, there was a sudden vibration under my feet, and the amplitude was not small. The fat man stopped and glared at me: "Xiao Tianzhen, could it be that you, Wu Tiezui, got it right again?"
Poker-Face suddenly shouted sharply: "Go ashore quickly! This is not bronze!"
