Chapter 295 Finding a way out
. After finally reaching the end, Le Yun, who was suffering from worries, happily handed the stalagmites to the shore first. She clumsily climbed out of the water from the handsome guy's back, sat on the ground and took out the small stalagmites from her pocket.
Yan Xing crawled out of the puddle and saw that the little Loli was wrapped in wet clothes, her eyes were smiling like a line, her little mouth was grinning, she was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth.
He couldn't understand why the little Loli liked weird things and treated stalactites and bamboo shoots like treasures. How precious could they be?
"Little Loli, change your clothes quickly and don't catch a cold." Little Loli's smile was so dazzling that the slight depression he had felt because she cared about Stalagmite and left him behind disappeared.
"Yeah." Le Yun nodded hurriedly. Ji Niu dug out stalagmites and made a lot of money. These many bamboo shoots were enough to be used as ingredients for medicine.
The little loli answered cheerfully but did not take any action. Yan Xing ignored it and turned around to change clothes. He wrapped up his wet pants and mask and stuffed them into his backpack. He then took out a pair of masks and put them on to cover his face. He didn't want that to happen. A few remembered his face.
He had a new look. Seeing that the little Loli was finally looking for clothes, he turned around again and peeked at the little Loli when she was wet. If he peeked at her changing clothes, he would despise himself. When
handsome guy Yan turned around, Le Yun He neatly took off his wet clothes, put on dry clothes and pants, put on his coat, and informed him that he could turn around.
Yan Xing, who behaved like a gentleman, turned around and told the other four people to go to the water. He also helped the little lolita move the stalagmites away from the puddle, so as not to wait for others to come over later. The little lolita took a random look at the man's half-naked appearance.
Master Ao and the four-eyed monkey spirit Hei Guotou no longer hesitated when they heard the shouting. They took off their clothes and only wore a pair of underpants. The monkey spirit and four eyes took the lead. Master Ao and Hei Guotou were a little later and formed a team to jump into the pit. He lifted his backpack and paddled through the water.
Winter is already cold, and the water is icy cold. After taking a cold shower, the blood almost stopped flowing. The four people who swam to the shore and crawled out of the puddle were shivering. They hurriedly changed into dry clothes, rubbed their hands and feet, and allowed themselves to relax. Pick up.
The four gentlemen were obviously very cold. Le Yun touched her nose, wrung out the wet clothes and put them away, and played with her stalagmites. Although the water was a bit icy, she didn't seem to feel particularly cold. Handsome Yan's body temperature was still very high after soaking in the cold water. , it can be seen that the body temperature of the four people infected with corpse poison is really a bit low.
After rubbing their hands and feet for a long time, when they got warm again, Master Ao and the other four also helped the little girl carry the small stalagmites, while Young Master Yan helped carry the longest bamboo shoot.
As a result, Le Yun carried only an eighty-centimeter-long stalagmite and continued running happily. She replenished some energy at noon and continued to move forward bravely.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at Shengmen.
At the end of the tunnel, there is a stone door with vertical and horizontal bolts. After removing the bolts and opening the stone door, no sunlight is seen. There is still a passage behind the door.
The door is considered the second door.
Go through the door, close it again, and continue walking along the tunnel for less than 200 meters before a slope appears. On the other side of the slope, there are two grooves with a slight slope toward the middle. Two huge stone balls half a person's height are arranged on the slope. There is a slide-like chute in the middle, with a baffle at the mouth to block the stone balls from rolling down the chute.
There is a groove under the slope where it is connected to the stone wall, and a stone ball is stuck there. The place blocked by the stone ball is the exit!
A group of people stood on the slope and looked down, observed for a while, and then slid down the slope. At the end of the slope, there was a small section of land that was flat. There was a groove under the stone ball, and there were arc-shaped grooves at both ends. The stone ball was stuck in The circular shape of one groove is pressed against the stone wall, and at the other end there is a pillar with an arc at one end. The arc of the pillar blocks the body of the stone sphere, and the other end is pressed against the movable mechanism above the groove.
The pillar is hung with a copper chain on a stone pillar at the other end of the groove. The inclined stone pillar resists the stone ball to prevent it from rolling to the other end of the groove or retreating, allowing the stone ball to firmly block the exit.
In terms of organ function, if pushed from the outside, the stone ball cannot be pushed.
"It's so cruel. Who can push such a big stone ball?"
"Is this really a living thing?"
The monkey spirit and the four-eyed black pottou have suffered from occupational diseases again. The people who set up the research institutions are too unkind. Who can push such a big stone ball?
God has the virtue of a good life, but they feel that the people who set up the organization do not have the virtue of a good life at all, and are preparing to send people to death pits.
Master Ao smiled, people must be content, it is not the door to death, and there is no hidden weapon mechanism, so they should snicker.
Chirping for a while, the monkey spirit and the four black pot heads worked together to pull the copper chain and raise the pillar.
Yan Xing had seen a similar machine head and was not very interested. When the Monkey King and the others were working, he helped by raising the pillars holding the stone ball and suspending it in the air.
Everyone worked together to push the stone ball, and as one, they pushed the ball back. It retreated, revealing a faint light.
Several people were overjoyed and hurriedly pushed the stone ball toward the chute. When they pushed it away from the stone wall, a circular hole was exposed there. Because the stone ball only moved a little, there was only a gap, and light and wind rushed into the tunnel.
The wind was biting and cold, and the light was not very bright.
Seeing the bright light, the four-eyed black pot head of the monkey spirit was so excited that he almost cried. He had been trapped underground for many days and finally saw the light of day again!
The wind brought in the breath of the outside world. Le Yun sniffed and her eyes turned into crescent moons: "I know where the exit is!" "
Where is it?" Several black pot heads asked in unison.
"At the bottom of the tiankeng in Fangfangshan Park." Le Yun held her chin up, beaming with joy. Youdao couldn't find any place even though she had worn iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there. She was worried that she didn't have a fair chance to go to the tiankeng to dig for medicine. Jinseimen sent her here, just as he wanted.
"What?"
"How is it possible?"
"Is this really the top of the mountain?"
The four-eyed monkey spirit Hei Guotou and Master Ao were both shocked.
Yan Xing: "..." After going around in a circle, we actually returned to the Tiankeng. This circle was really far.
"It's really a tiankeng in Shangfangshan Mountain. It's unmistakable. What's the problem?"
"This..." The monkey spirit and his companions looked at each other with shock and uncertainty in their eyes: "The place where we enter the ancient tomb is at the foot of the Great Wall Mountain." The Great Wall of China is in Badaling Mountain, and the place where we enter is far away from
Fangshan Mountain. It was so far away. They just walked around the ancient tomb for a few days and were washed away by the underground river. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at Fangfang Mountain. They could see how long the underground river was and how wide the ancient tomb and the formation occupied.
"What's weird? Many underground rivers are connected." Le Yun smiled. She would not tell others that the ancient tomb they visited might be the same ancient tomb where they are now. Everyone just touched it. We’ve just reached the tip of the ancient tomb iceberg.
The little girl's explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it is also a relatively explainable reason. The four-eyed monkey spirit Heiguotou thought that the underground river was connected. They were rushed from the foot of the Great Wall to the underground river under the capital city.
Knowing that the exit is in the sinkhole, everyone has a new worry. Will the exit be hanging in the middle? It was hanging in the middle, neither up nor down, scary, so scary.
With apprehension, everyone worked together to push the stone ball, wanting to know where the exit was. They would know it once they moved the stone ball away.
"Come on, come on!"
the monkey spirit shouted while pushing the stone ball.
The stone ball has not been moved for many years. Although the grooves are polished very smooth, it has been eroded by the air for too long, making it slightly uneven and moving very slowly.
As the six people pushed the stone ball toward the chute, the exposed hole became larger and larger, and some vegetation and leaves were vaguely visible. Everyone became excited and saw branches and grass leaves, indicating that the exit was not far from the bottom of the sinkhole.
This time, everyone was more motivated and used all their strength to push the stone ball out of the arc groove to the mouth of the groove and push it to the other end of the groove.
When the stone ball rolls up the groove, the groove tilts to the other side, and the stone ball is pushed much easier. At the same time, the upper end of the inclined chute connecting the slope slowly sinks, and the baffle that blocks the stone ball disappears. Moving, a stone ball slowly sank downwards.
The four-eyed black pot head of the monkey spirit was so shocked that he almost screamed when he discovered the change. If the stone ball sank and rolled out of the chute, it would block the exit again or smash them into pieces.
Master Ao observed for a while and reassured the three people not to panic. The mechanism should be based on the seesaw principle. When the stone balls at the bottom move to the groove, the stone balls above will sink. Only when all the stone balls blocking the exit have moved to Groove, the stone ball above can roll down and block the hole again.
Compared to the fuss and fuss of the monkey spirits, Yan Xingrong was unfazed and had the qualities of a hero who is not afraid of danger.
Everyone moved the stone ball until two-thirds of the width of the cave entrance was exposed. First, let the stone ball stand still and maintain its balance. They first inspected the exit situation.
The exit is about one meter high from the bottom of the tiankeng. The tiankeng is more than 70 meters deep and the bottom is more than 60 meters wide. Looking from the bottom up, it is really like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
In the north in winter, the vegetation is desolate, the weeds in the sinkholes are old and withered, the deciduous trees have bare branches, and the grass and leaves accumulate on the ground, making it a cold place.
The weather was not very good that day, it was very gloomy, the sinkhole was dark, the wind was strong, and the wind was freezing cold.
Yan Xing was the first to check out the situation. He shrunk his neck because of the wind. After looking at it, he gave way to someone else. Master Ao and others took turns to see that the monkey spirit and the four-eyed black pot head were really seeing the light of day again. They were overjoyed. The cold wind blowing on my face was very refreshing.
Having seen enough, he retracted his head and discussed who should go first and who should go last.
Le Yun took over Duan Hou's job and let others go first.
Master Ao and the monkey spirits couldn't defeat her, so they crawled out of the cave one after another and jumped to the bottom of the sinkhole. Yan Xing climbed out, turned around to pick up the little Loli's backpack, and then took two steps back to wait for her.
After everyone left, Le Yun calculated the position and force, pushed the stone ball hard, and pushed it towards the round groove of the groove. With her agile waist, she drilled out of the hole like a mouse and jumped down. In the sinkhole.
The stone ball bone she pushed rolled, and fell into the grooved circular groove. The upper end of the slope chute also sank down. The stone ball slid into the chute, and the upper end position was reset again. The stone ball moved along the The slide-like groove rolled, rolled down, then clicked and rolled to the end, and got stuck in the circular arc groove, firmly blocking the hole.
When the stone ball rolled down and stuck at the entrance of the cave, Le Yun had just stood firm and turned around. Yan Xing and others saw the stone ball rolling down with their own eyes and were so shocked that they broke into a cold sweat. The stone ball was so fast! Those who are slow will really be smashed into mincemeat.
When the stone ball got stuck at the entrance of the cave, it hit the stone wall and shook, making a buzzing echo.
The inner wall of the tiankeng is uneven. Some places are sunken in, some places form a small rock cavity, and some places are convex. The exit of the tunnel is a convex place, and the stone balls are stuck there. The color is not much different from the outside. If you don't see it with your own eyes From what I saw, no one believed there was a secret passage there.
Monkey Spirit and others felt like they were surviving a disaster. They sat down on the spot and lamented the joy of seeing the sun again. They also thought about how to climb out of the sinkhole and call the police for rescue. How would they explain why they were in the sinkhole? Looking for friends, well, I feel that distant water cannot save the near fire.
Yan Xing opened his backpack and dug through it. He took out his mobile phone first. The signal was quite poor. He edited the sentences first and then sent them when there was a signal. He was very patient and sent several messages in a row. After it showed success, he held up his mobile phone to search for signals and so on. reply.
Everyone was waiting for his good news. After waiting for about ten minutes, Mr. Yan received a text message reply, his eyes bright: "Someone will come to the rescue when it gets dark." "Wow, that's great!" Monkey
Spirit Several people shouted happily.
There are few people visiting the tiankeng in winter, and the pit is deep. As long as they don't shout at the top of their voices, people passing by above won't hear them, so there's no need to be too suppressed.
After finding rescue, everyone immediately looked for shelter from the wind, dragged their backpacks, and walked along the wall of the pit. After walking a few meters, Yan Xing let out a surprised "Huh" and pointed to a place: "Little loli, look, there is a fox there! "
Master Ao and others also looked over and followed the direction pointed by the masked man. They saw a fiery red mass in the grass at the bottom of the pit. Because the red color resembled the red leaves of the sumac tree, it was easy to confuse the audience. No one noticed it at first. , when you look carefully, it turns out to be an animal!
A fiery red fox was lying in the grass. It only raised its head when it saw them. It seemed to have no strength. It just looked at it and then lowered its head.
Le Yun's eyebrows were twisted into knots. She didn't smell the scent of a fox at all when she came out of the tunnel. Where did that beautiful red fox come from?
Is it hidden too well, or is there something wrong with her sense of smell?
No foreign creature was found, which made her heart surge. She opened her eyes and X-rayed the fox. It was okay not to look at it, but at a glance, her eyebrows were twisted into a knot. The fox was sick. It was a very strange disease. It had almost no body temperature, as if it had been frozen. of.
"Little Lolita, I will help you catch the fox for you to play with, and then take it out and release it again." Yan Xing was a little excited when he saw the fiery red fox. It was just right to catch it and give it to the little Lolita as a hand warmer. If it is not well-behaved, consider peeling it to make a scarf.
"Don't!" Le Yun had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Yan Handsome Guy's sleeve: "You will scare it if you go over there. It must have not eaten for a long time and is very weak. I will go over and take a look." The little Loli grabbed the sleeve
. , Yan Xing stopped, the little Loli didn't dislike him for catching small animals randomly, and he was happy to let the little Loli make her own decision.
Le Yun's big bag was carried by Handsome Yan. She only carried a small bag and immediately started running, stepping on the withered grass and making a crunching sound.
The flaming red fox did not run away in fright, but when he took a look, he lay down weakly again, with only his eyeballs moving.
The closer you get, the clearer you can see. The red fox's hair is as red as fire, as if it has been greased. It is smooth and oily. It is very small. It is still only half a small fox. It lies in the withered grass. Its furry Its big tail is trailing behind, its mouth is resting on its front legs, its eyes are particularly bright, and its ears occasionally twitch slightly.
There are several species of foxes, and the red-coated civet is a red fox.
While walking and observing, Le Yun walked up to the red fox, but it was still motionless. She squatted down, took out one of the last two pills from her backpack, put it in her palm, and handed it to the fox.
The red fox's eyes moved and its ears stood up. When the human's hand reached to the tip of its nose, it stretched out its red tongue and rolled the pill into its mouth.
Everyone watching from a distance: "..." It feels like the fox understands the rhythm of human nature.
Le Yun blinked and handed over the last pill. The red fox rolled its tongue and took it again. She moved forward and tried to communicate with it: "The pills are gone. There is no food here. I will take you with me in the evening." go out."
She tried to touch the fox, but it didn't resist. She touched its ears and paws. It obediently bent down and picked it up, and patted the grass clippings from its big tail and belly.
Its whole body is red, a bright red, with only its eyes, tentacles, and the tip of its nose black, very close to the image of a fox in the cartoon.
Holding the fox in her arms, Leyun became more and more weird. It was very light and clean. It had no smell that an animal should have, only an icy air.
The little girl picked up a small animal, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to touch it. The red fox shrank its neck and curled up its head, not to give him face.
"Does it dislike me?" After being rejected, Si Yan couldn't laugh or cry.
"You're so fierce." Heiguotou smiled playfully and moved closer to test his popularity. He stretched out his hand, and the fox also dug into the little girl's body, seeking protection.
"It takes fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps!" Si Yan curled his lips, saying that he was too fierce, and he himself was not disliked.
There are lessons learned from the past. Hou Jing and Master Ao did not try to test their popularity, and Yan Xing was smart enough not to tease the fox. If the fox refused to let him touch him, the little loli might say that he looked scary.
It was too cold in the tiankeng, and everyone did not want to drink the northwest wind. They continued to walk along the cave wall, found a hiding place, threw their luggage down, and sat under the rock wall to eat instant noodles and drink kudzu root.
Le Yun arrived at the resting place and didn't stay for ten minutes. She gave the fox a piece of clothing to use as a nest to sleep in. She wanted to run to dig for medicine, but the fox was very clever and held her captive. She had no choice but to hold the fox in her arms.
The monkey spirit and others also wanted to learn more, but they stopped when she poured a bucket of cold water on them. They would then step on the medicinal materials or trample on the snake's nest or rat's nest, making the place a mess and damaging her medicinal materials. She even cried. No tears.
Young Master Yan is thick-skinned and determined to be a bodyguard. Whether the little lolita is peeling tree bark, digging plant roots, or picking up rocks, he only helps her carry things. He will never tell her not to dig them all. Who wants it? Setting aside seeds and so on interferes with people's work.
The bottom of the tiankeng is less than 70 meters in diameter. There are trees and miscellaneous plants. It is a small plant kingdom. Because ordinary people cannot enter the tiankeng to dig medicine, some medicinal materials are extremely old.
Le Yun was so happy that she could smile from ear to ear. When she saw something that could come in handy, one word: dig! Dig the roots, pick the leaves, peel the bark, pick the fruits, whatever you can use!
She had a great time digging for herbs. When it got dark, she continued to search with a flashlight. Young Master Yan helped pack several bags of herbs and brought them to the resting place. Some of the herbs were tied with vines, some were packed in plastic, and the various herbs were displayed for others to see. Got to be stunned.
Until it was completely dark, the little girl reluctantly stopped and waited for the rescuers called by Handsome Yan to arrive.
