Secret passage?
Will there be a secret passage in the sinkhole?
Gao Yanjiao just said it casually, but she didn't expect Qin Tianming to believe it. Isn't it ridiculous?
Gao Yanjiao looked up at the smooth jade-like wall of the tiankeng, which stretched straight up. There was an exit as big as the mouth of a bowl at the top. There was no passage, so she refused to believe that there was a secret passage inside.
But Qin Tianming was reminded by Gao Yanjiao's words. He quickly stood up and looked up. After a while, he suddenly said to Gao Yanjiao:
"We will never find a secret passage just by visual inspection. I have a simple method here. I wonder if it is feasible? Unfortunately, it is not dawn yet. When it gets dawn, my method can be implemented!"
Gao Yanjiao was dubious and said:
"If you have any good ideas, please tell me immediately!"
Qin Tianming looked around and found that Tiankeng Bishan was covered with vines and shrubs. He patted his thigh and said to Gao Yanjiao:
"Do you have a sharper knife here?"
Gao Yanjiao drew out her sword, flashed it, laughed, and said:
"I have loved using this thing for half my life. I wonder what Qin Dachuo is used for?"
After speaking, Gao Yanjiao handed the sword to Qin Tianming.
Qin Tianming held Gao Yanjiao's sword in his hand and gestured for a few times, feeling a little disappointed.
Gao Yanjiao's so-called sword was as light as paper and weightless. Qin Tianming was very disappointed and shook his head and said:
"Is this also a sword?"
Gao Yanjiao sneered and asked:
"This is not a sword but a stone horse?"
Qin Tianming laughed repeatedly, picked up the sword and danced it lightly, with no strength, and said with a smile:
"This thing is useless for killing chickens, so what's the use? I also wanted to use it to cut some shrubs and vines, but now it seems I was wrong. It's just a decoration!"
Qin Tianming's words almost angered Gao Yanjiao. She snatched the sword from Qin Tianming's hand and suddenly started to dance.
Something very shocking happened to Qin Tianming.
Gao Yanjiao quickly danced the light sword, which instantly turned into a ball of sword flowers, and then formed a ball of white sword mist, which was very cold.
Gao Yanjiao waved her sword and headed towards the tiankeng jade. After a shrill sound, Qin Tianming looked at the ground again and was dumbfounded.
Countless vines and shrubs were scattered all over the place!
Qin Tianming visually estimated that there were several large bundles.
It only took Gao Yanjiao a few seconds to cut countless shrubs and canes from Tiankeng Bishan according to Qin Tianming's design.
Man and sword unite! ?
Qin Tianming couldn't believe his eyes, and thought to himself, people said that swordsmen in ancient times were very powerful, but today I saw it with my own eyes, and my great-grandmother's reputation was indeed well-deserved.
It seems that as long as the environment and conditions permit, people can practice and become one with the sword.
Gao Yanjiao had just danced her sword, and it had almost become one with her sword.
As long as you think about it, the light sword will become a powerful weapon!
Qin Tianming kept praising him in his heart and said repeatedly:
"Miss Gao, your swordsmanship is really amazing, it's really powerful."
Gao Yanjiao sneered and said:
"The sword is not hard, the person who uses the sword must be extremely hard. This is what my master told me, do you understand? Pretty boy?"
Qin Tianming asked stupidly:
"You still have a master? If you are so powerful, wouldn't your master be even more powerful?"
When it came to her master, Gao Yanjiao obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she changed the topic and asked Qin Tianming:
"I've cut these things for you, what do you want to do with them?"
Qin Tianming realized that Gao Yanjiao didn't want to mention his master, so he couldn't ask further, so he said
"I want to use these things to find that dark hole?"
"Using these things to find a passage? Isn't it just a dream?"
Qin Tianming nodded, Gao Yanjiao took back her sword and asked doubtfully:
"Are you kidding me, how can I find a dark hole with these things?"
Qin Tianming smiled mysteriously and said:
"Now that it's daylight, you can clearly see the inside of the sinkhole. As long as you light these things, we will immediately discover the dark cave hidden in the depths!"
Although Gao Yanjiao didn't understand what Qin Tianming wanted to do, she still piled the shrubs and vines together according to Qin Tianming's instructions, and then used a torch to light the wet pile of firewood.
Because it was very humid at the bottom of the sinkhole, and the shrubs and canes were all green branches. Although the fire was lit, there was no flame, only smoke.
The fire was smoking, and Gao Yanjiao was feeling anxious.
Qin Tianming saw this in his eyes, smiled comfortingly, and said:
"Don't worry, this smoke is what I need!"
Gao Yanjiao still didn't know quite what Qin Tianming was going to do, and asked in confusion:
"Is this the smoke you need?"
"yes,"
Qin Tianming pointed to the few rising smoke and said mysteriously:
"Miss Gao, just look up."
Gao Yanjiao tried her best to raise her head and look upward.
The smoke from the damp firewood rose straight up, blocking the sinkhole passage.
For a moment, the smoke that had been rising suddenly turned a magical corner and entered from a hole not far from the bottom of the sinkhole!
Gao Yanjiao was a little surprised, but Qin Tianming pointed somewhere and said:
"Did you see where the smoke came from? That's the dark hole we're looking for!"
At this moment, Gao Yanjiao suddenly understood that Qin Tianming is indeed an extremely smart person.
Let the smoke find an exit for us. Only you, Qin Tianming, can come up with this method!
Gao Yanjiao turned around, smiled at Qin Tianming, and said:
"Qin Tianming, you are so smart. You use smoke to find an exit. You are very smart! Unparalleled!"
Qin Tianming patted his head sheepishly:
"Ms. Gao, I'm not smart, I was forced. If I can't solve this case, I will die! If people are forced to a dead end, their potential is very huge, so I came up with this stupid method."
Gao Yanjiao shook her head and said:
"This method is not stupid, but if it were me, if I were cornered by them, I would kill them! Then escape!"
Qin Tianming laughed and said:
"You are a swordsman and I am Kitsaku. We have different ideas. I can't fight with my sword. I can only use my brain and wisdom to fight with them and solve cases to conquer them. Do you understand?"
Gao Yanjiao agreed and said:
"This method of yours is much better than mine. This is called using your wisdom and brain to fight. You can deal with millions of people. I use physical strength to deal with each other. At best, I can only kill hundreds of people. So you are better than me. I am optimistic about you." .”
Qin Tianming laughed loudly and said:
"According to your statement, if the two of us join forces in the future, I am afraid that no one in the world can defeat me. You can fight on the battlefield, and I can mobilize thousands of troops. Why should we fear the enemy?"
"I hope so,"
Gao Yanjiao looked up at the smoke and said.
While the two people were talking, the smoke seemed to have eyes, and it penetrated all the way through the wall of the sinkhole.
The place where the smoke penetrated was only about ten meters high from the bottom of the sinkhole. Qin Tianming hurriedly asked Gao Yanjiao to tie a rope along the bushes on the rock wall.
The two people climbed the rope one behind the other and quickly reached the place.
as expected!
In line with Qin Tianming's judgment, there was a dark cave on the rock wall. It was very hidden and difficult to find without smoke detection.
The two people quickly came to the dark cave along the rope. When they looked inside, they found that the entrance of the cave was small, but the inside was very big. It was so dark that it was difficult to see anything.
Gao Yanjiao lit two torches, handed one to Qin Tianming, and then led the way. The two of them ducked into the dark hole of the sinkhole.
The two people walked along the dark cave and walked inside for what seemed like a long time. Suddenly they came across a large open cave.
This cave is extremely wide and filled with stalactites and other things.
Qin Tianming looked around while holding the torch. He accidentally tripped over something under his feet.
He held the torch and looked down, and suddenly said nervously:
"Skull! Skull!"
At the same time, Gao Yanjiao, who was walking in front, also shouted in a low voice:
"Qin Tianming, there are skulls here too!"
The two stood still and lit up the torch together, lighting up the surroundings.
To the surprise of the two of them, the entire cave was actually filled with various skulls, and the ground was densely covered with them. A rough estimate was that there were no less than three hundred skulls!
Surrounding the skull, there is a large stone table like an altar in the cave. There seem to be traces of fire on the table, and in the center is a large bronze cauldron of Hideyoshi's mottled hair!
Burnt firewood was piled under the bronze cauldron.
Gao Yanjiao was stunned and turned around to ask Qin Tianming:
"Is this a Shima place?! Why is it so scary?"
Qin Tianming lowered his head to check the bronze sword for a while, reached out to touch the ashes under the cauldron, shook his head, and said to Gao Yanjiao:
"This ashes seems to have been burned recently and has not completely turned into fly ash. If I am not wrong, this seems to be a mysterious sacrificial place!"
"A place of worship?!"
Gao Yanjiao was even more shocked.
Who would set up such an amazing place of worship here?
Qin Tianming took a closer look with a torch, and then said:
"Gao Yanjiao, do you find this place strange?"
Gao Yanjiao said repeatedly:
"It's so weird here. There are almost all human skulls on the ground. There are so many human skulls."
Qin Tianming nodded and said:
"This is one of them. There is another doubt. Look at the skulls here. There are relatively fresh ones. These fresh heads are all arranged in a pattern, which looks very familiar."
After Qin Tianming said this, Gao Yanjiao took a torch, walked a few steps around the fresh heads on the ground, and suddenly whispered:
"Yes, it seems to be a Bagua pattern!"
"right!"
Qin Tianming pointed to the heads on the ground and said:
"You are very smart. These skulls on the ground do look like Bagua diagrams!"
Looking at the eerie Bagua skull pattern, Gao Yanjiao asked Qin Tianming doubtfully:
"Did the Shima people do this? Why are they so cruel?!"
Qin Tianming thought for a moment and said:
"This seems to be some kind of place for sacrifice. I have a bold guess now, but I need to go back and discuss it with the master."
"Discuss with Master? Qin Tianming, do you still have time to discuss?"
Qin Tianming stared at the heads on the ground and said to Gao Yanjiao:
"Gao Yanjiao, have you seen? You probably haven't seen clearly. There is one thing missing in all these fresh skulls, and that is a very important thing!"
Hearing this, Gao Yanjiao turned to the ground to observe carefully, shook her head and said:
"Is there something missing from these skulls? No, I can't see it."
Qin Tianming laughed and said:
"This is the difference between you and a forensic doctor. You only look at superficial phenomena and cannot distinguish more subtle things."
"Forensic doctor?!"
Gao Yanjiao asked in surprise:
"Forensic doctor? What is a forensic doctor?"
Qin Tianming was amused by what he said, and said to himself:
"Oh oh oh, I forgot my identity. You don't understand me at all if I am trying to do forensics for you."
Gao Yanjiao got angry and said loudly:
"Qin Tianming, don't be verbose and tell me what these heads are missing!?"
