He was about to continue introducing the situation at the bottom of the cliff to everyone, when a sudden rumbling sound came from behind, which made everyone nervous. They looked forward with flashlights. Under the focused flashlight light, everyone gradually saw clearly where they were. !
The space they were in was consistent with Song Siyuan's description. It was a sub-cave located below the mother cave. However, the sub-cave was completely different from the mother cave. It was a "U"-shaped cave valley.
The tomb they escaped from was built at the end of the U Canyon. The mirror palace, which was 100 meters high, was built on the stone walls on both sides of the canyon.
Look carefully, this canyon is steep in the west and gentle in the east. There are few gentle slopes on the west cliff. The steep mountain wall is almost straight up and down, and there is no possibility of building a road. Compared with the west cliff, the east cliff appears to be much gentler. , all over the trestles and stone roads, winding to the front like a snake eel, and then completely merged into the darkness.
Yue Guanchao raised his head and looked above his head. The upper level of the cave had carved a roof-sized cave into the rock wall. A specially carved water-holding stone beast was carved outside the entrance of the cave.
This stone beast has a head like a unicorn, antlers on its forehead, and a strong leopard body covered with black scales. Its front paws are lying on the ground and its back paws are curled up. Its eyes are like copper bells, and its fangs are snarling. It has a body as big as two houses, giving people the strongest feeling. Feeling of oppression!
The opening of the cave is just inside the mouth of the stone beast. In the dark environment, it seems that there is a stone beast suppressing the tomb chamber, spitting out a steady stream of underground spring water, causing the water to leap down and splash with a rumble.
The tomb under its mouth has been flooded for several hours and has already overflowed. Spring springs emerge from the holes and gaps, and flow into the canyon through the terrain difference, becoming an underground silver waterfall.
The thunderous momentum seems to split the sky and split the earth, splitting the valley into ravines. When you get closer, you can even feel the water mist carrying the cold wind on the pavement, making people breathless and want to jump in and follow.
"The water-suppressing stone beast turns out to be not a crack in the rock formation, but a mechanism that has existed for a long time."
The moment Mr. Cat saw the water-suppressing beast, the doubts in his eyes gradually became clear. Like Song Siyuan, he suspected that the collapse of the tomb roof was not an accident but inevitable. Seeing that the water-suppressing beast was intact, he was convinced of the heaven-and-earth creation of the Mirror Palace Tomb. , gained another layer of understanding.
Song Siyuan nodded towards Mr. Cat: "The water inlet and outlet arch cave we encountered in the well pool is probably connected to the gate of the guarding beast. Normally, the water inlet and outlet arch cave is completely closed. When we trigger the first mechanism, the water inlet and outlet arch cave is completely closed. The water inlet is closed, the water outlet is opened, and the water in the well is quickly poured out, and then we can walk down to the tomb."
"If Yin Zun is so suspicious, he must have calculated that his Mirror Palace tomb will be visited by grave robbers. In order to protect his body, he built a mechanism on the top of the tomb. Once his body breaks away from the pillar, the top of the tomb will collapse. hole, when the mechanism in the well pool is activated again, the water outlet and water inlet will be opened at the same time, this water-suppressing beast will flow out of the underground spring, completely submerging the entire tomb chamber."
Master Mao naturally knew what she meant. He stroked his beard and said proudly: "It's a pity that, despite all his calculations, he still failed to see through death. He deliberately left a way out for himself and asked us to take advantage of him." Cheap, save a life from the grave."
"If he is determined to leave the tomb robbers in the tomb to be buried with him, then we will really be at a loss for heaven and earth!"
"This is called auspicious people having their own destiny."
While Mr. Cat shook his head and spoke, Song Siyuan continued to observe the surroundings. Although the flashlight was not bright enough, she still recognized the gloomy woods all over the mountains and plains from her memory!
On the many slopes near the East Cliff, countless gloomy trees with a height of tens of meters are placed sideways and towering like clouds, like mysterious statues standing in the caves, like collapsed ruins and decaying walls, telling their thousands of stories with their dark bodies. A centuries-old mystery.
"As we guessed, this cave is indeed a forest of gloomy woods, so this also means that most of the brackets and beams in the tomb were taken out of this sub-cave." Song Siyuan turned on the flashlight and saw that her guess was true, and her tone was full. Be happy.
Mr. Cat observed the surroundings and casually glanced to the side. They were all fine thousand-year-old dark wood. They were rarely inferior in quality. Their black appearance was even covered with gold threads. This kind of golden dark wood was catalyzed by golden nanmu. It was simply hard to buy for ten thousand dollars. One inch.
Seeing such a scene, even Mr. Cat, who is used to seeing treasures, has to admire: "But, why are there so many gloomy trees here? Could it be that Da Yin Zun has really found an auspicious place, and even the rare gloomy trees in the world There are too many trees to count.”
Song Siyuan looked around and saw that these gloomy woods must be thousands of years old. They had already been carbonized into half trees and half rocks in the cave. The surface looked like a rock wall, becoming dark, steep, hard and cold. The only thing that could still be seen as a tree was The original branches with flowers and leaves were gradually wrapped in gum and flower wax. After hundreds of years of carbonization, they became full of tree crystals!
When you shine a flashlight, the texture of the flowers and leaves reflects the bright light, like a vortex, like tangled threads, like velvet, like a tree crown and branches covered with stars.
Seeing that everyone had made the mistake of idealism again, she explained to everyone: "Master Cat, what kind of auspicious place is this place? I guess that the entire cave is the product of the early volcanic eruption of Changbai Mountain, and it is just a special topography! "
"The black forest behind the Jiaolong Temple is the forest that was covered by volcanic ash after the volcanic eruption. Fortunately, they survived. Under the arrangement of Da Yinzun, they became bloodthirsty trees withered on the outside and flourishing on the inside. According to the cause of the volcanic eruption, Let’s take a look at the cave we are looking at. It is most likely formed by volcanic movements in earlier times!”
"Earlier volcanism?"
