"Do you know where the others are from?" I asked again, and my consciousness only meant where they were working now. This was completely subconscious, and I didn't expect her to answer me at all.
Without thinking, she nodded and said: "Except for your fiancée, I know everything. You are in Shanghai, Liu Qingping is in Jilin, Yang Yun and Han Qiwei are both in Guangdong, Liu Xiaoyang and Ning Yuan are in Chengdu, and Yingying Guo is also in Shanghai...
"
I looked at her in surprise, but I didn't expect that she actually said everything. I originally wanted to analyze it from a regional perspective, but after listening to it, I realized that this doesn't work either.
, what attracts attention is that Ning Yuan and Liu Xiaoyang are both from Chengdu, but when they came here beforehand, they both said they were not familiar with this place. Are they hiding something?
Forget it! I sighed. It seems that I won’t be able to figure these things out until the last moment. The most important thing now is to pay attention to the things around me. No matter how important the truth is, it’s worth my life.
We climbed for a long time this time, probably two or three hours. Although there was a pause in the middle, the distance was not short. Only then did we realize that the cave was really long. I really doubted whether it was a real "bottomless pit." Three
It's 400 meters and there's no bottom yet. How deep is it?
However, the answer to this point soon came. Soon there was a reflection from the dark place below. Although it was very weak, it at least gave us a signal that we were almost at the end.
Immediately, both of them cheered up, and Song Meiting also became energetic instead of tired. She kept looking down, and she seemed to be very curious about what was underneath. Not only her, but I was also very curious about the legendary "Ghost Palace"
"It's down there, but what exactly is it like? I'm afraid no one knows for two thousand years.
I didn't expect that what appeared in front of us was such a scenery. It was not full of cold stones, but colorful. There were flowers blooming everywhere in the cracks of the stones, on the stone walls and even on the ground. These flowers included
There are all kinds of colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and even many colors we have never seen before. Each flower is the size of a bowl and looks very beautiful. It is really a wonderful place.
But I could see something wrong at a glance. First, these flowers looked too coquettish, even a little strange, giving people a very weird feeling. Second, I vaguely noticed that there was something hidden behind these flowers.
Although I couldn't see clearly, it gave me a strong sense of uneasiness. I was afraid that something wasn't good there.
There was still some way to the ground. We were not in a hurry to go down, but looked around carefully. Then we discovered that the underground cave was like a well, with a small top and a large bottom. However, because the arc was very small, we didn't feel it.
At the bottom is a large pit, with a diameter of more than a hundred meters. A circular platform surrounds the large pit, which is about fifty meters wide, and is only about ten meters away from the bottom of the pit.
The colorful flowers covered the entire pit, including the surrounding stone walls, and some even spread to the ring platform above. The most eye-catching thing is not the flowers, there are also many flowers around the ring platform.
The stone sculptures of ghosts and monsters kneeling on the ground are very similar to those on the cave, but these carvings are more realistic. When I first saw them, I was shocked, thinking that they were all alive. After a closer look, I realized that they were alive.
Just some carvings.
I couldn't help but frown. From the placement of the ghost statues, I could see that the big pit was where the secret was. But from above, there was nothing but colorful flowers. The only possibility I could tell was that the secret was hidden in
Behind those flowers.
We landed on the circular stone platform. From the stone platform, we could walk in a complete circle around the pit. "Why does this place look like a sacrificial pit?" Song Meiting said softly. I thought it was possible. If
If this is a sacrificial pit, where is the entrance hidden?
"Wang Fo, you see there are some different statues around here." She exhaled softly again. I looked along her direction and found that there were four statues in this circle that were in the wrong position. They were all facing away from each other.
There is a big hole in it, which is a bit unusual.
The positions occupied by these four statues are very symmetrical, with the same distance from each other. If connected with a line, they should form a square. These four statues should have special meaning, such as marking the direction. Perhaps the positions they occupy are exactly the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
Which direction?
I walked over curiously and soon discovered that this statue could be moved. Of course, it was not moved but rotated. I turned the one in front of me and found that it was indeed somewhat different from the other statues.
Basically all the statues are kneeling on the ground, but this one is squatting. It is holding a sign in its hand with a big character engraved on it. I recognized that it should be the character "Dian".
"There is a way." I hurriedly ran over and turned the other three stone sculptures around. Sure enough, each of the ghostly stone sculptures was squatting on the ground holding a stone tablet in its hands, but the handwriting on it was different. It consisted of four consecutive words.
It is the "Senluo Ghost Palace".
Judging from these four words, we are in the right place, but what I noticed is another question. Who turned these statues around? It was definitely not done by the ancient Shu king. Since he marked these
There is no reason to hide the thing, and it looks new from the traces, indicating that someone did it not long ago. It seems that someone has been here earlier than us, but we don’t know which party it is from.
"Wang Fo, what should we do?" Song Meiting's face looked a little strange. She seemed very anxious. Her eyes kept looking around, as if she was afraid of something.
I was confused, so I asked her, and her answer shocked me. She said that the eyes of these statues seemed to be staring at us, no matter where we went, they were staring at us.
I looked carefully and found that, as Song Meiting said, the eyes of these statues seemed to be moving. No matter where we stood, we could always see their eyes staring at us.
This is a very strange phenomenon. If these ghosts and monsters are flat images, then there is one possibility, but they are all three-dimensional, and the eyes cannot look in all directions. Just like human eyes can only look in all directions.
In one direction, the focus is only within a small range. People standing nearby can easily tell where the person's eyes are looking, so this kind of thing is particularly difficult to understand, if I don't see it with my own eyes.
I absolutely can't believe it.
In this environment, things that are difficult to figure out will inevitably make people nervous, because you can't guess whether it contains any danger. Especially the eyes, which contain an evil and vicious flavor, make people nervous.
I have to be afraid in my heart.
The secret must be in that big pit. We didn’t dare to stay up there for too long, so we chose a position and slowly climbed down. The entire big pit was covered by those bowl-sized flowers, so we couldn’t see the bottom.
There would be nothing, so we walked very carefully.
I originally thought that these flowers would be very fragile, but I didn't expect that they are very tough and can be used by our hands and feet. We don't have to worry about them breaking suddenly. In this way, it is very easy to go down.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened when I was halfway up the climb. Song Meiting suddenly screamed. I turned around and saw that one of her hands was holding the rhizome of the flower. Her whole body was hanging in the air, and she was trying hard to get it.
Keep your body steady.
I was startled, and hurriedly crawled over to give her a hand, but in the end I was still a step slower. I had just crawled to her side and before I could reach out, her body relaxed and she screamed downwards.
come down.
I didn't dare to look down. At a height of about ten meters, if there were stones underneath the flowers, the end would be tragic. If I were unlucky, I might fall to death or become crippled. But before I could regret it, I didn't take care of myself just now.
While looking at her, her voice suddenly came from below: "Wang Fo, I, I'm fine, it's soft down here."
I quickly looked down and saw that she had already stood up and was among the flowers. Her body was still slightly bumping up and down. There was no damage to her whole body. What happened? She fell from a height of more than ten meters.
It's like no one else. Could it be that she can fly?
"Are you really okay?" I asked suspiciously. She actually smiled, jumped suddenly, and bumped up and down in the flowers, just like a trampoline, except that the arc was smaller.
I finally felt relieved. It seemed that she was really fine. To verify it, I jumped down. The result was the same as what I saw. As soon as my body fell into the flowers, the flowers below took off the force of the fall.
Then I bounced my body high.
It's so amazing and so strange. I originally thought that the flowers under the big pit should grow out of the rocks like those in the valley, but now it seems that is not the case at all. At least these are much weaker and softer than those outside.
I was very curious about what was going on, so I lay on the ground and opened the flowers and looked inside. It turned out that they were made of rhizomes of these flowers. These rhizomes were very long like vines and crisscrossed like fish to form a huge "pocket".
"We are in this pocket now, and its elasticity is very good. If it falls, it will just be like a trampoline.
I was about to stand up when I suddenly noticed something different. The surrounding areas formed by rhizomes were obviously empty, but there were many things hanging here and there. It was difficult to see clearly under the cover.
Clearly. I felt a little weird in my heart. I suddenly remembered what the purpose of this flower woven flower was.
I focused my sight and the light on the thing hanging on the stem. Slowly, I finally saw what it was, and my heart began to beat hard and uncontrollably.
