Resting in a dark environment, it is easy to lose the concept of time. When they woke up again, Chen Tao could no longer tell whether it was day or night.
Everything was so sudden...
He was sitting alone on a boulder on the edge of the cliff, thinking wildly. Occasionally, he picked up a piece of gravel and threw it far away under the cliff. The stone bounced between the stone walls, making bursts of tapping sounds. It spreads in the abyss, resentful and empty.
He had to follow him in the first place. He had experienced so many things along the way and he hadn't had time to digest them. I originally thought that after coming down, I might be able to find out the reason for the disappearance of those guys and unlock the secret of the bronze man. However, the reality turned out to be like a bottomless pit, digging deeper and deeper.
"Would you like a cigarette?" Haozi took out a cigarette and shook it in front of Chen Tao's head, "Young master of the Chen family, what are you thinking about? He has a bitter and hateful look on his face."
Chen Tao subconsciously took Hao Zi's cigarette and smiled: "Forget it, this thing is not suitable for me."
"Don't pull me down! Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm allergic to tobacco. I'm really impressed by you." Haozi stretched out and sat on a boulder next to Chen Tao. "Human, while you're alive, you should eat, drink, and shoot. Cannon, enjoy yourself in time and die without regrets!"
Chen Tao rolled his eyes at him with disdain and threw away the last stone in his hand: "Who is like you? Even a cactus can drop D. I am a man of principles."
Haozi didn't care: "You little loser, one day you will know that what dad said is the truth!"
"roll!"
...
After a few hours of rest, everyone's energy has recovered a lot, and the atmosphere is no longer as oppressive as before. Whether they want it or not, it has happened and no one can stop it.
Yan was humming a tune with his earphones on, still looking like he was fearless because it had nothing to do with him. Boss Zhang and Ah Cheng were loading bullets for their guns on another boulder. Uncle Wang is still in a coma, but his fever has gone away. Uncle Long and Shangui are helping him change his dressing. Haozi leaned next to Chen Tao and smoked a cigarette. After resting, his physical strength recovered somewhat. Although his arms were a little sore, it was nothing to him.
"Don't you think these stone platforms are very strange? They seem to have been dug out piece by piece." Haozi blew out a puff of smoke.
After chatting with Haozi for a long time, I felt less depressed anymore. He squatted up from the ground and looked carefully at the rock surface under his feet with his flashlight.
Then he held up his flashlight and took pictures up and down. There are still dozens of meters up the cliff, and further down, there is a bottomless black abyss. There is a stone platform like a bracket every ten meters.
"It was indeed chiseled out. Look, there are notches on it."
"I know. I noticed it when I first came here. I'm giving you a chance to test your concentration."
"Can I pull you down! Just you? Your subordinates are still staring at you from the other side!"
"Get out of here, why are you just from the same family? Your whole family is from the same family!" Haozi spat in displeasure, put out the cigarette butt and threw it directly towards Chen Tao.
"Tell me, what are they doing with all the stone platforms here? They are stacked one on top of the other. Could it be for farming?" Chen Tao said seriously as he dodged the cigarette butts flying towards him from Hao Zi.
"When Yang came here, didn't he say that the entire mountain was an extremely huge black crystal stone?"
"That's right." Chen Tao nodded.
"The notebook also said that they found a lot of man-made buildings down there. Construction cannot be separated from materials. This is a big mountain, so they will definitely use local materials. Look at these big rocks around, don't you think it's strange to pile them up here? ?"
"So what you're saying is that these stone platforms were dug out by them?" Chen Tao seemed to understand what Haozi meant.
"Not entirely, I think this is more like for transportation!" Haozi glanced at the top and said: "The ancients did not have cranes, and even if they did, they would still need a construction platform, so these stone platforms are the best choice. "
Chen Tao used his flashlight to shine into the abyss where he couldn't see the bottom, and muttered, "What on earth are they transporting?"
Looking at the dark abyss, Chen Tao felt as if his soul was being sucked into it. Looking at it for a second longer made him feel frightened. But every time he wanted to look away from the darkness, something seemed to attract him, making him look involuntarily.
"Chen Tao...Chen Tao..."
Chen Tao vaguely heard someone calling his name.
"Haozi? What's wrong?" Instinctively, he thought it was Haozi. However, when he raised his head and looked around, he was surprised to find that the people and the dark rock walls had disappeared. Now he was in a magnificent palace, with endless yellow sand under his feet.
"Chen Tao...Chen Tao..." The shout came again, the voice was light and ethereal, like the sound of nature. As soon as he heard it, Chen Tao felt that he couldn't help but want to find the owner of the voice.
This palace is so big, the surrounding columns are more than ten meters high. The entire hall seems to be made of gold, which is so bright that it dazzles the eyes.
The pillars are coiled with circles of strangely shaped black branches, all carved from black jade and inlaid with various colored gemstones. The ends of the branches were symmetrically arranged on both sides of the golden pillar. The top of each side held a silver plate full of patterns, and a delicate little lamp stood on the plate.
The shape of the small lamp is very peculiar. Four silver rats engraved with gold and jade hold up four pairs of forelimbs, and eight small paws hold up a small lampstand. The warm yellow flames dance happily on the wick. I don’t know what kind of material the lamp oil is made of, but it exudes a fragrance unique to girls. When you smell it in your nose, you can’t help but feel confused and fascinated.
There are countless wall paintings carved on the walls of the palace. Each graceful and charming naked girl dances like an elf in a fairyland. There are only a few colorful ribbons painted on their bodies to cover up important parts. Their feet are light, their arms are waving lightly, their legs are long and slender, their eyebrows are expressive, and their spring beauty is looming, and they can seduce the soul of a man with just one glance.
What is puzzling is that mice of different shapes are painted on and around these naked dancing girls. Some were standing on the girl's slender fingers, and some were running between the white jade feet. It was the girl playing with these mice!
The combination of colors and reliefs makes the entire wall become three-dimensional. Under the colorful lines and gemstones, along with the dancing firelight on the stone pillars and the refreshing fragrance, the girls and mice on the wall become like living creatures. Average.
"Chen Tao, you're here, hee hee hee..." A burst of girlish laughter like silver bells came from behind a few stone pillars in the distance. Chen Tao seemed to have lost his soul, murmuring towards Go to the distant pillar.
"Hey hey hey, little sister, where are you?"
Walking around one golden pillar after another, the girl's laughter and whispers seemed to be getting closer and closer. Bursts of light came from ahead, and Chen Tao quickened his pace towards the end of the palace. Passing through the last golden pillar, he was dazzled by everything he saw.
The ground was filled with gold, gems, agate, emerald... all kinds of treasures piled up into hills, so shaking that Chen Tao could hardly open his eyes.
"Holy crap! How much fucking money do you have to have! You can't spend it all in a few lifetimes!" Chen Tao's voice was trembling.
Chen Tao's eyes turned red as he tremblingly grabbed a handful of gold coins.
"Hahahaha, I'm rich! If I take this back, I won't have to guard that shabby shop again in my life!"
Chen Tao laughed, but his eyes noticed other places. In the center of the hill where countless treasures are piled, there is a towering stone platform with stone steps carved from white jade leading up to it. There seems to be a jade bed in the center of the stone platform, with rat-headed stone statues dressed in colorful clothes kneeling around the jade bed.
"Fuck, what is that?"
Chen Tao swallowed tremblingly, stepped on the gold jewelry on the ground and walked to the jade steps, staring blankly at the jade bed above.
"Hehehe, come up quickly..." The girl's silver bell-like call rang in his ears again. Chen Tao's eyes were blank, he rubbed his hands excitedly, grinning hey, and stepped onto the jade steps step by step.
"Hey, little sister, I'm here..."
