Chapter 141: Ten Thousand Years Ice Cave
It is said that Brother Bage followed Brother Seven and discovered a strange cliff. There seemed to be a clue of a cave entrance in the middle of the cliff, about fifteen meters from the bottom of the valley below. Brother Seven was striding towards the dark cave on the cliff.
Sure enough, under a huge ice pillar, there was a small oval hole with a vaguely open mouth. The ice pillar was just blocking its opening. It was only about two feet away from the hole. You couldn't find it unless you looked carefully.
The seventh brother asked everyone to get off the horse. He took out the flying claw first and swung it upward. The flying claw firmly grasped the tens of thousands of years of ice at the entrance of the cave. The seventh brother slowly climbed up along the rope of the flying claw.
The six monsters also climbed in one by one along the rope of the Flying Claw. The little howler monkey also climbed in quickly. This is its strength. The myna flew in directly.
As for the golden retriever, he is a beast and is not good at jumping and climbing, so he stayed outside with the seven snow-white horses.
What is strange and painful is that it is still hot summer outside the cave entrance, but it is already freezing inside the cave within three steps. The cave entrance is also covered with long and large transparent ice, showing the shocking scene of dripping water turning into ice in summer.
Wonderful scene.
The seven monsters only felt that it was surprisingly cold in the cave, as cold as if they had taken off their clothes. No matter what, the temperature in the cave was zero! In fact, the temperature in this ice cave always remains around zero throughout the year. The inside and outside of the cave are completely two different worlds.
"The seven monsters felt that it was chilly near the entrance of the cave. It felt like the wind was relatively strong here, and the shady cliffs were covered with ice flowers. Everything was very different from the surrounding environment, and there was also a hint of cold air coming out of the cave."
Everyone was holding their arms, shivering from the cold, and their faces and lips were a little blue.
Only Brother Qi is a person with profound inner strength and proficient in qigong. Unless he is in the busy city or robbing tombs, he likes to be shirtless all year round and is not afraid of the cold. Especially when practicing martial arts, he likes to throw off his arms and do it! This is
A personal habit he developed since childhood in Wudang Mountain, Hubei.
At this time, Seventh Brother took off the mouse clothes from his upper body, put it on Angel Yaomeier without any explanation, and went to touch the cave.
The seven monsters secretly murmured in their hearts: Is this the legendary magical ice cave where God's treasure is buried?
They walked less than six meters into the cold, cold cave entrance, and were stunned. It was like eating a cow without looking up - the flowers had fallen, and a big Japanese melon - a radish and a piece of garlic.
Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.
The seven tomb robbers dressed in black looked around, as if they were in a crystal clear palace, surrounded by a world of ice: those beautiful and strange icicles, ice picks, ice waterfalls, ice bamboo shoots, and ice flowers, which looked like a fairy cave. There was no one there.
I can imagine that inside the small cave entrance, there is such a wonderful ice world.
The well-informed Seven Monsters were completely attracted, until their feet gradually felt frozen. Outside the cave were flowers and green trees, but inside the cave was solid ice, like an Arctic ice cave.
.
For such an ice cave, if it is winter, the outside of the cave will be relatively cold, and can reach more than minus 30 degrees. Because there is no wind inside the cave, it will be warmer than outside the cave.
But now it is summer, it is cold inside the cave and hot outside. They are wearing relatively thin clothes. The six monsters are shrinking from the cold and trembling, but the seventh brother is calm and composed.
Brother Qi, who has deep internal strength, can still go shirtless and not catch a cold even at temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero, because this is a skill he has practiced for fourteen years.
They continued walking, expecting to find the legendary treasure of God.
With the movement of their footsteps, the echoes in the cave, and the sound of the starlings flapping their wings, the seven monsters saw that there were ice curtains, ice bells, ice men, ice stalagmites, ice stalactites, ice vortex tubes, and ice grapes in the cave.
There are also ice crystal flakes, ice bodhisattva, etc., to name a few.
The entire cave is filled with ice, which can be called an ice world.
This ancient ice cave was formed during the Quaternary Ice Age of the Cenozoic Era, about three million years ago, so it is called the Ten Thousand Years Ice Cave.
Generally in summer, glaciers are often in a state of ablation. The ablation of glaciers is divided into three types: subglacial ablation, intraglacial ablation and ice surface ablation. The earth's crust often continuously transports heat to the bottom of the glacier, thus causing subglacial ablation.
However, subglacial ablation is insignificant for the huge glacier body. When melt water from the ice surface flows into the interior of the glacier along the glacier crevices, intraglacial ablation occurs.
As a result of melting within the ice, "like a pregnant woman", many unique glacial karst phenomena will emerge, such as ice funnels, ice wells, ice tunnels and ice caves.
When the glacier stops flowing, walking into the ice cave is like entering a crystal palace. For some glaciers, you can even walk all the way to the bottom of the glacier through the tunnels in the ice cave.
Generally, ice caves are either single or branch-shaped, and there are often holes inside the cave. There are many icicles in the cave, suspended ice stalactites, and the pattern of the cave wall is very beautiful.
They found that although the thickness of the ice varies, all the ice is attached to the limestone. The entire ice cave is more than six meters high and about five meters wide. It is winding, high and low, and is very beautiful. It is really the top level of nature's miraculous craftsmanship.
A masterpiece, a place made in heaven.
However, the Seven Monsters did not come together as a group for sightseeing, and there was no shady tour guide! They held their arms and hunched their necks, and continued to walk forward. They were getting more and more excited and nervous, foreboding that they were about to discover the legend.
God’s treasure in the world.
I don’t know how deep this hole is. I walked about twenty meters. Except for the seventh brother, the six monsters were very cold. The rattlesnake is a cold-blooded animal and doesn’t care about the temperature. The myna and the little howler monkey are covered with hair. Naturally,
Also indifferent.
Poor angel Yaomei was still shivering from the cold even though she was wearing Seventh Brother's clothes. The five monsters were not much better either.
After walking about six meters deep, Bing Fang turned a corner and saw a large oval-shaped hole in front of him. It was about 16 meters long, 13 meters wide and about 10 meters high. At the bottom of the hole, more than 300 people were lying in various shapes.
The ice-man's corpse is all lifelike, just like Duke Zhou who was sleeping soundly and resting in a great dream.
In a word, these people are like dumplings and glutinous rice balls, all damned frozen.
After being frightened, the Seven Tomb Robbers walked over and took a closer look, and found that all of these people's faces still had the blush of "little sun". This is a typical sign of solar radiation on the plateau, indicating that these people often engage in outdoor activities.
I saw them wearing uniform ancient military uniforms and armor, holding shining Tibetan knives, spears, and round shields in their hands!
The expressions on the faces of these soldiers were very different. They seemed to have neither happiness nor pain. All of them had their eyes open, and their eyelashes were frozen around the eye circles, and they were visible at all.
