Chapter 2332 The cave is at the end
From top to bottom, we have walked dozens of miles here, which is nothing for an underground river. Judging from the amount of water washing on both sides of the river, we really shouldn't have reached the end of the cave so soon.
Also, where did the water go many years ago?
"Is there no way out?" Li Luo asked.
Ban Niu's face was ugly, and he was pulling his hair irritably. It was so inappropriate, how could it be like this! It is true that the underground river waterway has its own system, but so much water should not disappear, it must have a place to go, and here
The scour marks all revealed that this underground river was flowing at that time, not a huge puddle. The key is where the water went. Could it be that someone scooped it up? After walking for so long, it turned out to be a dead end!
Ban Niu's face was ugly. He knew the importance. At the moment, Li Luo was thinking about the princess the most. He remembered the general's daily care and attention in his heart. Even without these, she was the person he respected the most. Now, instead of helping, she was
How could I not make Ban Niu ashamed if I missed him?
Li Luo didn't feel dissatisfied at all, and said with a warm smile: "The underground waterways are inherently complicated. I can't blame you if I go the wrong way. It's not a big deal. You don't have to blame yourself."
"It shouldn't, it shouldn't, there shouldn't be anything wrong with the water flowing to a lower place." Ban Niu muttered to himself, his eyes looking quite absent-minded.
"The water flows downwards..." Li Luo's heart moved. He raised his head and looked at the rock wall above his head. The cave walls merged into an acute angle above his head. The huge stalactites hanging from the top looked like white animal teeth.
I don’t know how many shadows there are. The water will not disappear, it must go somewhere.
"Hold the lamp, go up there and have a look." Li Luochen shouted.
After giving an order, some soldiers from the camp climbed up. Although he didn't know what clues Li Luo could see, there might be something fishy at the top of the cave. The Mengjue soldiers did not stand back and looked around, searching for suspicious traces.
The formation of stone waterfalls is mostly due to the large gaps in the rock formations above the caves, abundant water flow, and erosion on the rock walls. Along with the stone waterfalls, there are also stone flowers and stone mantles, which are stepping stones for generals to climb.
However, the rock on the cave wall above the head was not very hard. After stepping on it, many of the protrusions began to crack and crumbled. The generals worked hard. Qian Yi was the first to go to the highest point that could be reached, holding a torch and looking down.
Look. After counting, Qian Yi shouted in surprise: "General, there is something else here!"
Ban Niu was startled and shouted hurriedly: "General Qian, what did you see?"
"There is a crack, about three feet wide, leading outside."
Ban Niu was stunned, clapped his hands suddenly, and shouted: "I understand! The water does flow downward, but the exit is not at the bottom of the cave, but at the top!"
Chu Yu'an and Wen Tingyun also climbed up to a high place, lit up the lanterns, and by the light of the fire, everyone discovered that there was an extremely hidden break at the highest point of the cave roof. If you didn't look at it from above, you would have dug three holes from the bottom of the cave.
Even though I couldn't find this secret waterway, I couldn't find this secret waterway. The underground river at that time did not completely seal the cave. It was just a tightening, shaped like a huge water bag. The way down was actually at the top of the cave.
superior.
Ban Niu was overjoyed: "The water flows to the lower place. It turns out that this is the way it flows. It's really, alas, I am blind and underestimate the power of creation of heaven and earth."
"Haha, I was also reminded by your words. I took a guess, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
"General, I admire you!" Ban Niu said loudly.
Li Luo smiled: "General Gu is here, don't let others laugh at us."
Gu Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking. Not only does he admire you, but I also admire you. You are so thoughtful. No wonder Bohan is so praised."
"Oh, what did Pohan say?"
"Pu Han said..." Gu Chen suddenly stopped speaking, with a strange look on his face, "Let's wait until the prince asks Bo Khan face to face."
Li Luo smiled and said nothing. The wind in Gu Chen's mouth was really tight. It was not difficult to find the exit and take the ladder up. When we got to the crack, the three-foot-wide gap was recessed inward. It was indeed difficult to find.
It's true that Ban Niu is not to blame, it's just that the underground river played a joke on them.
The rocks at the cracks have been washed away by the underground river water over the years, giving them a miraculous smoothness. There are also some straight downward lines on the edges, quietly hanging in the vertical space. Today
There was no water, but just by looking at it, everyone could imagine a scene of raging river water rolling down, hitting the rock wall and splashing water and foam all over the sky. At that time, the sound here was just terrible.
It was not inferior to the scene of thousands of horses galloping, and all the generals felt a sense of awe in their hearts.
After going down the ladder, the outside was really spacious and boundless. We were already at the bottom of the cave, but it was hard to tell where we were. We didn't know how far we were from Gu Lianglei and the others.
The water of the underground river poured down from here and flowed into the distance along the traces of the river on the ground. This is the true appearance of this underground river. Ban Niu jumped down the river, leaned over and touched the water at the bottom of the river.
He let out a light sigh and said, "General, this waterway is very wet. It seems that there was water flowing there not long ago!"
Wen Tingyun looked at Li Luo, and Li Luo nodded slightly. Wen Tingyun shouted: "Detective!" The generals dispersed, and soon there was news, and the news was beyond everyone's expectations, even Li Luo
No exception.
The outlet of the underground river is under the cliff, which can be regarded as the foot of the mountain. The terrain has become much flatter, making it much easier to check the surroundings. Soon after the soldiers dispersed, they discovered something strange here. At the foot of the mountain, there were actually people cultivating terraces.
trace!
The generals looked at each other in surprise, no less surprised than when they heard that there was an underground city at the foot of Luye Naga Mountain. Li Luo was also surprised. He followed Wen Tingyun to these cultivated fields and took a look. They indeed looked like terraced fields, with many
There are obvious traces of terraced fields, built along the mountain, row upon row, and neatly trimmed. Perhaps buried under the ground, these terraces still retain the appearance of farming and harvesting in those years.
But there is no daylight here, so how can there be fields to cultivate, unless this farmland and the city sank into the ground together, and this place was just saved by luck. This is the only reasonable explanation in the minds of the generals, Li
Luo didn't say much. When we were in the East China Sea, the highly toxic five-color algae planted under Yuelongmen did not need much light to grow. What exactly were grown in these terraces back then? Rice? Corn? But one thing is clear.
That means there were indeed people living here back then.
Now, maybe still!
