The five people climbed up from the bottom of the pit one after another. This was not the passage that the mine used to transport the ore to the outside. There was no road, and there were only a few wide cracks. But by this time, we had calmed down a lot, because the mine appeared.
This means that our current location is still near the ancient city and has not been affected too much by the space-time grid. As long as we continue to search with all our strength, we will definitely find a way out.
We chose a crack that looked relatively wide and walked in. The terrain was still sloping downwards. The little ruffian asked, if we continue like this, are we going to reach the center of the earth? We chose this crack because there are not many reminders, so we can only
We walked one by one, so we didn’t know anything about the situation inside the crack. The crack was wide but not very long. After walking about thirty meters, it seemed to be the end. When the crack came to the end, we saw one on the left and one on the right.
New cracks opened in each.
But these two cracks are different from what we saw before, because from the appearance, there is always a feeling that it has been repaired, the ground has been flattened, and there are very few unevenness on both sides. We think it is a bit troublesome, now
It is already very deep under the earth's surface. If there are always bifurcations, it will be more difficult to handle.
Kuang Haige and Li Fusheng paused briefly, debating whether to go to the left or the right. The little ruffian and I took this opportunity to smoke a cigarette. As we smoked, my eyes glanced back and forth around, not knowing.
Why, when I see the end of this gap, I always feel a little strange. The end of the gap is full of stones. Li Fusheng and others have seen it, and there shouldn't be anything there, but the more I look, the more I feel something is wrong.
It was a very strange feeling, as if I had walked into a strange room and could sense something unusual inside without even opening the door.
When this strange premonition became extremely strong, I couldn't help but put down the cigarette in my hand, walked over slowly, and used a flashlight to shine. At this time, Li Fusheng and the others finished their discussion and turned around to call me to go. I waved
He waved his hand and signaled them to wait a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"Let me take a look, take a look." I stared at the stones in front of me without looking back. The large and small stones were piled high, and the gaps between the stones were blocked. I couldn't see anything.
, but I didn’t give up, because I could feel my eyelids beating constantly, and even my eyeballs moved, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"What did you see?" Li Fusheng came over and stared at the stone I was looking at. With his observation skills, if there was something wrong with the stone, he would definitely be able to detect it.
"There's... something behind this." I didn't know what I was thinking, but I just blurted it out, as if this sentence didn't go through my brain at all and was a subconscious reaction.
"What's there?"
"I can't see, but there must be something." I was extremely sure of my premonition. Although it was not a good thing to say this premonition at this time, it would disrupt the escape plan and time, but the premonition was so strong that I couldn't control it.
Li Fusheng thought for a while, then went back to ask Kuang Haige and the monk for their opinions. He believed my hunch. Kuang Haige said nothing, and the monk seemed embarrassed, but I always insisted on my opinion. Li Fusheng did not hesitate anymore and said to them: "
Move the stone away and take a look."
Even though there were five of us, it was still very difficult to move such a large pile of rocks. Some of the rocks were so big that five people couldn't move them. We worked bit by bit and it took a full hour.
, and then moved the top stones and rolled them down. At this time, I suddenly felt a little unsure about my premonition. If I delayed for so long and found nothing in the end, I think I would definitely be embarrassed.
But it turned out that my hunch was correct. The pile of stones was about five meters high. After we moved part of it, several patterns that had never been seen before were vaguely visible on the stone wall behind the pile of stones. Those
The patterns suddenly seemed as if they were carved directly on the stone wall. However, upon closer inspection, Li Fusheng discovered that the patterned stones were not one with the stone wall.
"It's a gate, a stone gate." Li Fusheng stood on top of the stone pile and said to me, "It's a very wide stone gate."
As a result, the originally skeptical monk completely gave up the idea of leaving as soon as possible, and several people started working enthusiastically again. When more stones were removed, the traces of the stone door on the stone wall became more obvious. It was a
The stone door is about four meters high and four meters wide and looks extremely heavy.
It took us several hours to clear away all the stones blocking the stone gate, and the stone gate was completely displayed in front of us. I don't know what era this thing belongs to, but it is under the ruins of the ancient city. It may be the ancient city.
People built it.
When the stone door appeared completely, I suddenly felt some pain in my eyes. They observed the stone door for a while and found that it was a door that we couldn't open. Five people couldn't push it together. Maybe there was something behind the door.
Something is blocking it, maybe the stone door is too thick and its weight makes us unable to do anything.
"Don't tell me that a few hours of time have been wasted like this." The little ruffian's face was stained with sweat and dust. He looked at me innocently and said, "I will be disappointed."
"Don't make any noise." Li Fusheng suddenly whispered and made a silent gesture to us, and then he slowly put one ear tightly into the gap of the stone door. The stone door had been precision polished, although it was not as good as metal.
It's so flat, but the gap between the doors can only fit a blade.
We were silent and waited behind Li Fusheng. He listened for two or three minutes, then stood up straight and said to us: "Is there any sound behind the door?"
The little ruffian was very quick. After hearing what Li Fusheng said, he imitated him and put his ear against the stone door to listen. I also squatted down and got closer to the stone door. With my ears outside the crack of the door, I could hear the possible sounds more clearly.
At first it seemed that I couldn't hear anything, but after listening quietly for a while, I vaguely felt that there was indeed a sound behind the stone door that was so slight that it was almost imperceptible.
Boom...boom...boom...
A very rhythmic thumping sound came into our ears, as if there was a huge beating heart behind the stone door, but the sound was too weak to distinguish what it was. But the sudden appearance of the sound made us feel
When there was a sense of danger, several people left the stone gate and stood far away. We wanted to wait and see if the sound was accidental or inevitable.
We waited quietly for about twenty minutes. Li Fusheng walked over again and leaned against the crack of the door to listen. This time he quickly turned around and his expression became more solemn. The sound still existed, as if it had been thousands of years ago.
The future has never stopped, always floating behind the stone gate.
Several people got together to discuss again, because through such a thick and tight door, we couldn't tell whether the banging sound was made by living things? Or some kind of mechanism? The monk used to rob tombs often and saw too many women.
There are many kinds of mechanisms, he said. It only takes a very simple structure, coupled with external forces, to keep a mechanism in a triggered state for a long time. But how old is this ancient city?
, that is calculated in units of ten thousand years. I don’t believe that any mechanism can be preserved to this day.
As for living things, that's even more impossible. No living thing can live that long.
I don’t think any of the five of us would be willing to give up like this, but the unknown danger behind the stone gate cannot be eliminated. The monk, Kuang Haige, and I almost died in the previous stone cave. Now I really don’t want to take any more risks. But Li
Fu Sheng asked them for their opinions. The monk thought for a while and said he would find a way to open the door.
"Are you sure?" Li Fusheng looked at Kuang Hai Pavilion. At this moment, if we want to open the stone door, the only way is to blast it.
"It is ideal to place explosives between the cracks in the door for blasting, but the cracks are too narrow and need to be widened a bit." Kuang Haige said: "I don't have much explosives with me. If I miss it once, I will have no chance."
"Just do your best."
Kuang Haige took out his tools and ran to the stone door and started chiseling. After chiseling for a few minutes, Li Fusheng asked him to stop and listen close to the crack of the door. Upon hearing this, Li Fusheng frowned slightly.
Got up.
"The thumping sound can no longer be heard."
When he said this, we all panicked. If the thumping sound behind the stone door continued, it would be okay. But after Kuang Hai Pavilion started digging the door, the thumping sound disappeared. What does this mean? It means that the sound
Is it intelligent? It can control the sound or stop it according to the actual situation? After such analysis, the situation becomes more complicated. Even I am not sure whether I should use abnormal means to force open this wide stone door.
"If it is really alive, once the door is opened and it rushes out, we may not be able to stop it." The monk shook his body, took a step forward, and said, "If that doesn't work, you all should retreat to the crevice next to the stone.
, act according to the situation, I will take care of it here."
"I think there must be nothing alive behind the stone gate." Li Fusheng said, "Absolutely impossible."
How many unknown mysteries are there in this world? I think it is impossible for Li Fusheng to fully know. If this stone gate was the product of a thousand or even two thousand years ago, he would not dare to say so harshly, because he himself is
It has been through two thousand years ago, but the history of Shimen cannot be traced back for a long time. Everything may go out of the ordinary, but it still has to operate within a certain fixed scope.
"It would be better if it wasn't." The monk patted Kuang Haige and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Let's blow it up and see what's inside."
