Xiechie Ridge, Wild Forest, Mountain Road
Yue Guanchao followed the sign in advance and walked for about half an hour before finally meeting up with Wu Tuman and the others.
"Here, equip the guns."
He was about to distribute the spears to everyone. Song Siyuan saw small wounds on his body and asked curiously: "Where did you get so many guns?"
Yue Guanchao looked at everyone: "They were snatched from the hands of Tang Dianrong's soldiers and bandits. These bandits were all dead at that time. I think their guns were all new and they were not used in vain. Anyway, the bandit leader had stolen our guns." , exchanging one thing for another is not a loss.”
He paused and guessed: "I estimate that Tang Dianrong hates us after I killed so many bandits. Once he finds us, we must have spears to defend ourselves."
"Uncle Utuman, how far are we from the waterfall?"
The old man shook his head, with a confused look on his face: "The fog is too thick, so I can't tell the distance. I can only get a rough look, but I feel that the surrounding area is getting wetter and wetter, and I guess I'm close to the waterfall."
"Are you really sure that the treasure is near the waterfall?"
Song Siyuan has not read "The Secret of Zu Xian". What she knows is what Yue Guanchao told her. Now that Yue Guanchao has returned, she naturally wants to ask questions.
Yue Guanchao thought for a moment, nodded to everyone and said:
"I took a quick look at this painting. The altar is very close to the waterfall. You can even see a strange totem cave lying in front of the waterfall."
"Then we have to leave quickly. Now the ancient scroll is in the hands of Tang Dianrong. If he gets there first, our situation will be in danger."
Song Siyuan's words were not unreasonable. They realized that the situation was delicate and their pace accelerated significantly.
After passing through an ownerless wild forest, I finally heard the sound of waterfalls like roaring tigers and roaring dragons!
Yue Guanchao raised his head and observed that they were probably in the depths of Xiezhe Mountain. The distance between the peaks was getting closer and closer. Looking above his head, the hazy skylight shone down on the narrow cliff of ten thousand feet, forming a strange image of a line of sky.
"Sister Siyuan, why does Xiejia Mountain look so strange?"
Aying didn't know the origin of the oblique claw peak, so she asked Song Siyuan who was taking pictures at the side. She stopped her busy pace and explained lightly:
"I think it's probably the tilt of the mountain caused by geological disasters!"
She pointed to the dense shrubs on the mountain wall hidden in the mist, and continued to explain to everyone:
"If you look at the plants on the mountain wall, if it is a canyon that suddenly cracks, the slope of the rock wall will often have exposed rock walls due to collapse or cracking, but this canyon has dense vegetation."
"I guess the peaks on both sides of Xiezhe Mountain used to be independent peaks, but it seems that a disaster happened and they gradually merged into one peak. However, there are still traces of extrusion at the junction of the two peaks, which is the line of sky above our heads. .”
"If it is an earthquake, it may indeed crack some rock formations, allowing the groundwater originally existing in the mountain cavity to flow out of the cracks. This is probably how the waterfall above us was formed."
Song Siyuan said as she walked, not long after the wild forest was broken, the shrubs on the left and right gradually retreated, leaving only a layer of weeds that reached the ankles, and a waterfall hung high in front of her eyes.
Yue Guanchao looked far into the distance and saw that the twin peaks of the oblique claws were exactly as Song Siyuan had guessed.
There are cracks on the top of the mountain, and all the mountain springs are pouring out through the cracks. The halo of water vapor is intertwined with the gray fog, directly blurring the top of the mountain. The source of the waterfall is hidden in the mist, and the silver-white waterfall seems to emerge from the clouds. Come in, fly straight down into the sky!
"Young man, there is no totem cave in Nada as you mentioned. What's going on?"
Wu Tuman wiped the mist from his face and his eyes became alert.
Song Siyuan thought for a moment and her eyes flashed: "Uncle Wutuman, if my guess is correct, these two mountains are crowded together because of geological disasters."
"The location where we are standing now should have been on the mountainside. I don't think the Sushen people would build their altar on the mountainside. The only possibility is that the altar was squeezed into the mountain after the earthquake and became part of the new mountain tune."
"We want to find the so-called cave entrance, probably down the mountainside."
After saying that, Song Siyuan looked at the huge canyon under the waterfall, and he had an idea and took off his backpack.
"I guess that the place where we are standing was also a crack before, but it was filled with rocks and covered with soil, and it became the muddy ground it is now. Use a Luoyang shovel to test the soil layer."
Song Siyuan pierced the Luoyang shovel into the soil, picked up a stone and pounded it down. When the shovel was pulled out, all the soil swirled out was displayed in front of people.
She looked at everyone and nodded:
"You see, the upper half of the Luoyang shovel is completely made of loess, which is not layered, but the lower part is black soil mixed with gravel, which shows that my guess is correct. I don't know how many years have passed since these gravels collapsed, and they were broken again. New soil covers it, which is what we see."
Huhu~huhuhuhu~~
While they were talking, there was a sudden rustling sound around them, and the thick fog in front of them was disturbed by the wind and quickly dissipated like smoke.
In the blink of an eye, dense vegetation appeared all around, and only the top of the mountain was still surrounded by clouds and mist.
"Why did this fog suddenly become lighter?"
Everyone was curious, but they didn't know why.
"There seems to be a cliff ahead!"
After the fog dissipated, everyone was shocked. They were only tens of meters away from the cliff. If they continued to walk forward, they might fall off the cliff without knowing it.
