As if guessing what I was thinking, Shuiyue burst out laughing, then rolled her eyes at me charmingly and said, "You are really a money-crazy person. Have you forgotten that the ancient King of Shu and the Book of Heaven are hidden in the ghost?"
In the palace, are you confident that you can find that place? That is something that even the army of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not do."
After hearing this, I calmed down a bit, but I still had some reluctance to give up. People will die for money and birds will die for food. I am also a common person. How can I let this huge wealth remain unmoved. I told her that there are no absolutes.
What Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't do doesn't mean that we can't do it. Although the ancient King of Shu was a remnant at the time, there must be a lot of people. Given the favorable location, it was normal that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't attack the army. But now
It’s different. The ancient King of Shu has disappeared. It is estimated that all his people have died long ago. If we want to find something that has become ownerless, one will rob it, and the other will just pick it up. The meaning and difficulty are quite different.
identical.
"Okay, I know I can't persuade you. Whether it's an accident or someone did it deliberately, since we're already here, we naturally have to go in and take a look. I'm also very curious about who this ancient King of Shu is."
"What? Are you curious about this ancient King of Shu?"
"Haha, of course, I was pretty good at studying history when I was in school. I remember that the ancient Shu Kingdom should have perished in the pre-Qin period. Why did Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, attack them? Are there two other people in ancient times?
Ancient Shu Kingdom?”
"Maybe it was a political power that was re-established by the survivors of the ancient Shu Kingdom, but it was just not known to outsiders?"
"maybe."
The people over there have started to quarrel. It goes without saying that it is Liu Qingping and Han Qiwei. The reason for the quarrel between them is a bit dumbfounding. It is because of whether the two giant stone ghost sculptures are male or female. Han Qiwei thinks
The two ghost eagles are both men, and Liu Qingping believed that they were a man and a woman. The man was a ghost and the woman was a yaksha. Later, he introduced the idea that men and women can work together without getting tired. The two of them are competing for each other.
Blushed and thick-necked, but in the end no one was able to convince anyone.
"Just looking for trouble." I shook my head with a wry smile, ignored them, carried my backpack, and walked into the valley with Shuiyue.
This valley is like a long road, almost as wide in front and back. The ground becomes flatter as we go inward. When we entered the valley, we realized that it was really big, as big as several football fields.
, but it seemed very empty and nothing special.
We kept walking towards the depths of the valley. When we reached the center of the valley, Liu Qingping suddenly pointed to the deepest position and sighed: "Look there, now I finally understand why there is so much pollen, mother."
Have we arrived at the flower and tree market?"
I followed his direction and looked over, and I was a little shocked. At the deepest point is a mountain peak that is not too high, but its area is very large. The side in the valley is very smooth, and the entire side of the mountain is very smooth.
They are all covered with white flowers. At first glance, it looks like it is a snow-capped mountain.
As we got closer and closer, we soon discovered something even more peculiar. The branches and leaves of these flowers were all white. It could be said that there was no other color at all except white.
It's so strange. We can understand that the flowers are white, but it is incomprehensible that the rhizomes and leaves are also white. Moreover, these flowers are rooted in the rocks, but there are no gaps in the rocks, which means they
They grow directly from the rocks. Their flowers are trembling slightly every moment, and traces of smoke-like pollen rise from them, and then spread around like waves.
"These flowers are so weird. Why do I feel like they are breathing?" Liu Qingping muttered, but his eyes kept moving around, not knowing what he was looking for.
Indeed, these flowers move very regularly and frequently, especially the flowers that shake slightly from time to time, and the petals sometimes open and sometimes close, and it really looks like they are breathing.
Plants naturally breathe, but no matter what kind of plant, it is not so obvious, so I really want to ask, is this a plant or an animal?
Do you know what kind of flower this is? I asked. Everyone shook their heads and said that they had never seen flowers growing from stones. Moreover, the role of those pollen was very doubtful. Generally, plants spread pollen for the next issue.
growth, but we can't imagine how they bury their seeds in the stone and how they grow out of the stone. How strong their growth ability is to use the hard stone as fertile land.
We walked directly towards the mountain wall, and when we got closer, we discovered some even more shocking sights. There were many caves hidden behind the flowers, because they were covered by the flowers and we just
It was far away so I didn't notice it.
These caves are large and small, the large ones are several meters in diameter, while the small ones are only the size of the mouth of a bowl, but they are so densely packed that it is impossible to count them. They are everywhere at a glance, and the total number is probably no less than a thousand.
"It seems that the secret is hidden in these holes, but how should we go?" Liu Qingping said. His eyes were a little straight, and he looked very troubled. Not only was he troubled, but every one of us was troubled. This was simply a big problem.
, there are so many cave entrances that are almost the same except for their size, so who knows which one to go to.
However, there are so many of us who will not be stumped by this problem. We expressed our opinions one after another and finally summarized several possibilities. What we are looking for is where the remnants of the ancient Shu king escaped. It is unlikely to be in a higher place above.
So it should be relatively close to the ground. Furthermore, in order to avoid pursuing soldiers, they should choose a hole that is easier to walk through and wider. In this case, we don't have too many choices.
Finally, we chose a relatively large cave in the middle, which is facing the entrance of the valley. If it were me, I would subconsciously get into this cave when I was in a panic.
These caves appear to be naturally formed, round in shape, and very smooth and flat inside. In addition, the caves are very wide, so it is easy to walk without feeling cramped at all.
But we still miscalculated the complexity of the problem. After walking about a hundred meters, we realized that the entrances to the caves outside were actually the same no matter where we came in. What appeared in front of us now were many branch roads, probably dozens of them.
There were so many of them, and some of them even showed some light. We walked along and soon found that we came out of another cave entrance.
Damn it, it turns out that the interiors of these cave entrances are all connected. Unbelieving, we walked another one, but the result was still the same. When we reached the fork in the road, as long as we found a bright light at any cave entrance, we would walk out of the other cave entrance.
.
Later, we learned the lesson and no longer looked for the brightly lit cave entrances, but the very deep and dark cave entrances. This time we did not go out again, but we encountered a bigger problem. These forks in the road seemed to last forever.
There are endless holes everywhere, and from now on the holes will not only be parallel, some will go directly up, and some will go directly down. At a glance, there are holes in all directions, making this place like a huge maze.
, I can’t tell the direction at all.
The worst thing is that we wandered around in this cave and ended up getting lost. We couldn't tell the direction or location at all. We didn't even know which way we took in the end. It was like this was a big watermelon.
, people used needles to pierce countless small holes in all directions. When people walk inside, they only see roads everywhere. No matter what, there are still roads everywhere, but where do you go, do you take heavy roads, and these
I don’t know whether the road has an end or not.
This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. I have drilled some caves in the Tai Chi Tomb in Henan before, but they are based on the Tai Chi Bagua. No matter how you go, you will return to the two points in the middle, but here it is obvious
It’s different. No matter how hard I walk, I never walk at all. What I’m worried about is not that there are no roads, but that there are so many roads that I don’t even know which one to take.
Everyone understands that this is probably a naturally formed maze. This kind of maze is the most difficult to navigate, because there is no pattern at all, and people can't find its flaws at all.
"What should we do? How about we go separately?" Liu Qingping said helplessly.
I shook my head, this is not a good idea. I don’t know how big this place is, and I don’t know how many holes there are. Once we are separated, the chance of finding each other again is very small. Even if someone leaves, shit is gone.
There is no way to notify others when we go out. Moreover, it is too dangerous to be alone. Although we have not encountered any danger now, there is no guarantee that we will not be in the future. It is not pleasant to be alone.
"How about we leave a mark? This will prevent us from taking the wrong path. Sooner or later we will find the real path."
This is indeed a method, the most primitive method, but after thinking about it, I still shook my head. There are thousands of holes here, and I don’t know how many there are, but we don’t have that much time to spend here. Two or three
The weather can hold on, but no matter how long it goes, people won't be able to bear it anymore, and sooner or later they will go crazy, but before we go crazy, we are most likely to starve to death here.
"This won't work, and that won't work either. So what do you think we should do now? We can't just worry here. If this continues, I'll go crazy before I starve to death." Liu Qingping sat down on the ground, looking dejected.
appearance.
At this time, Shuiyue put her mouth to my ear and whispered something. After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly asked them: "Which of you has something made of silver on your body?"
