Yue Guanchao signaled with his eyes, Geda put down the bamboo bow for him, and as he bent the bow and nocked the arrow, the ghost-headed arrow flew into the entrance of the tomb.
It was essential to be on guard against others. After waiting for a long time, Yue Guanchao didn't see any more bows and arrows, and then he safely led Mr. Cat into the bronze shield array.
Yue Guanchao was in the bronze shield array, and he felt scared when he thought of the scene just now. If he hadn't noticed the airflow generated when the bow and arrow flew in advance, he might not have been able to save the two of them in time.
"Brothers, this is a false alarm. The harder it is at the beginning, the richer the treasure is inside. Those of us who take the lead will definitely be rewarded generously by the steward. Don't be timid, lest your prestige be destroyed."
As the shield array walked into the entrance of the tomb, Yue Guanchao had to speak to comfort the strong men. They were the first line of defense. If anyone was timid and wanted to retreat, it would be difficult.
The mountain lantern had long been damaged by bows and arrows and could no longer be used. After entering the entrance to the tomb, they could only rely on weak flashlights for illumination.
That cold light is of little use in the dark cave, and the distance it illuminates is really limited.
It was chaotic and dark before everyone's eyes, and they walked very slowly. The cave was not as cold as the outside, but it was still cold and damp. From time to time, water from the underground spring dripped into the neck, which made goosebumps all over the body.
The water on the rock wall is gurgling and the wind is whistling, as if someone is whispering in the ear, which is particularly scary in the dark environment.
There are many hot springs in the Changbai Mountains, and this underground cave also has traces of hot springs. The air is full of sulfur smell, mixed with the secret medicine unique to the ancient tombs, and rushes into the nostrils.
If you inhale too little, you will panic, if you inhale too much, you will be afraid of being poisoned. When walking, most people cannot breathe evenly, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, and the sound of rough breathing and low breathing can be clearly heard in the silence.
As more and more air came into the breathing hole, the taste in everyone's mouths became weirder and weirder, perhaps due to psychological factors.
Yue Guanchao counted the time. They walked about six hundred meters inside, and the cave finally began to change:
The dark rock walls above their heads gradually receded, and the cave was occupied by dots of five-color fluorescence, like the Milky Way hanging upside down and the sky full of stars, extremely mysterious and strange.
Looking forward, the light from the galaxy spreads into pieces one after another, spreading to the point where the field of vision disappears.
"Are we out of the cave?"
Ma often looked up at the many shining stars, and the light reflected in his eyes was exceptionally beautiful.
Song Siyuan picked up the flashlight and shined it at the rock formation. After seeing clearly what the starlight was, she explained to everyone:
"This is not a starry sky, it's just the fluorite in the rock wall. It glows when it is illuminated by the flashlight beam. If you don't believe me, let's try turning off the flashlight."
As soon as the words fell, everyone turned off their flashlights. Sure enough, the bright lights gradually faded into darkness like extinguished charcoal fire. When the lamppost shined on the surface, it would be "ignited" immediately again, which was very magical.
"The luminous stone is a luminous pearl!"
As soon as Mr. Cat heard the word "Ye Ming", his eyes brightened in the darkness, as if he had found a treasure, and his voice trembled when he spoke:
"It is said that when the old queen died, the luminous pearl in her mouth was like a pigeon's egg, which illuminated the room brightly in broad daylight. Everyone in the government and the public knew about this. I am afraid that the grave of her old lady was somewhat missed by the local masters. On."
"If all the materials here are made of Luminous Pearl, it would be worth my money!"
Song Siyuan looked at the fluorite above her head, but she didn't feel that it was exactly the same as what the old queen was holding in her mouth:
"Although they all glow in the dark, they are not the same thing as luminous pearls. It is said that the light of luminous pearls can be seen like stars in the daytime and like the moon at night. It is so bright that it can even be used as a candle in the dark night. It is said that the light of the luminous pearl is like a candle in the underground palace of Qin Shihuang. The candlelight replaces the anointing oil, and the luminous pearl is used.”
"This kind of gem only exists in legends. Putting aside myths and legends, there are actually many rare minerals that will indeed emit light after tens of millions of years of geological movement. This is not unusual. For example, the fluorite here can emit light. of stones.”
"This kind of fluorite is brilliant in color, transparent and charming. Once mined, it will definitely be regarded as a gemstone. However, its texture is too soft and brittle, making it difficult to carve. Instead, it is more suitable for use as ornaments rather than jewelry."
"That's true, I've never heard that night pearls are colorful, but if you can dig out one or two, take them out
It is estimated that it can be sold for a good price. "
Mr. Cat said this just to show off his strength. Since entering Lotus Peak, he almost died twice, so naturally he would not take the initiative to provoke the things in the tomb.
Several people were talking as they walked. When the fluorite formation gradually thinned out, what appeared in front of them made everyone take a breath.
"This time, I really walked to Naihe Bridge!"
