Sister Yue, you are really in a hurry to make money.What if that Gou Liu lied to you with a stone he got from no one knows where? "Xiao Hongyue agreed when she heard it, is it really a bit sloppy to do things by herself.
The two were silent for a while, and Situ Ning said: "Anyway, you have paid for this news. Show me the map after dinner. Let's take a trip. As far as I know, The southwest plateau was part of the ancient kingdom of Dali a long, long time ago. If what Gou Liu said is true, that cave is likely to be the relic of the ancient kingdom of Dali." Xiao Hongyue nodded.The two stopped talking and started eating.
After eating, Xiao Hongyue carefully opened the cloth bag.I saw a piece of yellowed paper inside.A map was drawn crookedly on it.At the location of the southwest plateau, a circle was drawn on the map to highlight it.Situ Ning said: "This piece of paper has been used for a long time and is easy to break. I will trace this map on a new piece of cloth in a while." Xiao Hongyue nodded.Said: "Ning'er, that 20 taels of silver is the only money I have left. Now we really have no money at all. We have to prepare some money to go to the southwest plateau. Next, I will go to accept a few more commissions to earn some money. Take the money." Situ Ning nodded, and said, "To go to that place, I need a lot of tools along the way. During this time, I will make some tools for use on the road." After discussing these things, the two went to bed down.
At night, Situ Ning couldn't help thinking: "My sister this month was so innocent and cute. A little gangster used just one thing and cheated her of 20 taels of silver." Thinking of this, Situ Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.She thought, I hope what the little bastard said is true.Thinking about it, sleepiness hit her, she hugged Xiao Hongyue and fell asleep.

☆、Preparation before departure
The next day, Xiao Hongyue went on to receive the commission, while Situ Ning began to prepare the tools to be used on the road.
In the past few days, Xiao Hongyue has received two commissions, one to kill and the other to fetch things.The commission of murder earned 20 taels of silver.The entrustment of taking things earned ten taels of silver.Xiao Hongyue spent part of the money to buy some money.
In the past few days, Situ Ning has also made several useful tools.
That night, she showed Xiao Hongyue all the tools she had made in the past few days.The first thing she took out was a small lamp.This is a square lamp that she polished finely out of a transparent rock.Slightly bigger than a fist.The inside is divided into two small compartments, and the lower compartment is for burning things such as oil and wax.Put the wick in a small compartment on the top.The wick extends through a small hole to the small grid below to draw oil.There are also several small holes around the upper grid for ventilation.There is also a small hole on the top to release the smoke from burning.Situ Ning also made a wooden clip for this small lamp, which can be held by hand.It can also be carried by a line.Xiao Hongyue applauded when she saw it.Since her night pearl was gone, it was very inconvenient for her to go in and out of the dark.With this small light, it is even more convenient.Moreover, they went to a cave this time, and the cold light of the night pearl was not bright enough.The night pearl is better for assassination.But when used as cave lighting, the light appears a bit dim.At this time, the small lamp made by Situ Ning is more useful.
Situ Ning also made a mechanism that can launch a rope.Fold the rope inside.Good luck.As soon as the engine is pulled, the rope is launched.The front of the rope is fastened with a hook.Can hook things.This is especially useful when climbing.This mechanism is not big and can be folded up when not in use.The fold is supposed to be the size of a book.
In addition, Situ Ning also made a small foldable ladder.Fold it when not in use, put it in the package, and unfold it when you use it.It can be extended to two feet long.
Xiao Hongyue was full of praise for these tools.She said: "Ning'er, you are really good. With these things, it will be much more convenient." Situ Ning responded with a smile.

☆、Tour to Southwest Plateau
With everything ready, the two set off on a sunny morning.The two were not like the carriage supported by Mo Hanxing before.Now that there was no carriage, the two had no choice but to walk all the way.I don't know how long they walked, but the two finally reached the southwest plateau according to the route on the map.
A desolate scene on the southwest plateau.There are stones everywhere.There is only a thin layer of weathered stone on the ground, other than that, there are stones everywhere.The plants are only a few weeds and shrubs.The two had prepared food and water long before going to the plateau.Otherwise, in this desolate place, even if you want to hunt wild game, you will not be able to find it.In addition to buying some necessary things, the two bought all the silver and dry food.
The two were walking on the plateau wearing headscarves.Xiao Hongyue said: "It's really windy on this plateau. Fortunately, I prepared a headscarf. Ning'er, where have we gone? How long will it take to get there?" Situ Ning took out the map and looked at it, and said, "I guess we will go later. It will be two hours." Xiao Hongyue looked up at the sky.Said: "The sun is about to set. Let's go there and camp today. We won't go down to the cave today." Situ Ning nodded.
The two walked for another two hours and reached the location of the cave marked on the map.But it was dark and didn't see any big caves.There are only some unremarkable small caves with weathered stones.Xiao Hongyue felt strange, and said: "Ning'er, why is there no such big cave as Gou Liu said here. You won't be deceived by Gou Liu." Situ Ning said: "Everyone is here, let's look around tomorrow. .It’s dark now, so I can’t see clearly. Let’s camp today.” Xiao Hongyue nodded, took out camping tools, and set up a tent.The two ate something and drank some water.Just fell asleep.
The wind on the plateau is very strong.Especially at night.The sound of the wind rang in their ears.There are many stones on the plateau, and there are many holes formed by the weathering of the stones.There are also many gaps between the stones.The whining sound of the strong wind blowing through these holes and gaps makes people listen very strangely.Situ Ning was a little scared.It tightened in Xiao Hongyue's arms.Xiao Hongyue also hugged her tightly.The two hugged each other, and after a while, they fell asleep.
The author has something to say:
☆, looking for the entrance
Early the next morning, it began to drizzle.The two quickly put away the tent.Put on the leather jacket made by Situ Ning again.This kind of leather jacket can keep out the rain.The two braved the rain and stepped on large and small puddles to find the entrance of the legendary cave on the barren plateau.
The two searched for a long time but could not find it.Xiao Hongyue said frustratedly: "Ning'er, it seems that I was deceived by that Gou Liu. I'm so sorry that I made you work so hard to come here with me." Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, don't worry. We'll look for it later. You see, it is raining now. If there is really the big and deep cave that Gou Liu said, the rainwater will flow there. There will be very little water in the area around the cave. We follow this Look for clues."
The two searched for a while according to the method Situ Ning said.Suddenly Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er, come here and take a look." Situ Ning hurried over to have a look, and said: "There is hardly any stagnant water here. There must be a cave below here. The water must have flowed into the cave. Yue Sister, take out a spoon and use it." Xiao Hongyue took out a small spoon.Situ Ning took the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of water from the large puddles a foot away.Then come back here and pour water on the ground.Then watch the flow of water.I saw the water flowing in one direction along the small ditch and groove on the ground.Situ Ning followed the current and walked forward.Xiao Hongyue followed suit.At one point, the water flow disappeared.Situ Ning took a closer look and said, "Sister Yue, there seems to be a crack in the rock below." Xiao Hongyue stepped forward to look and said, "There is a crack in the rock." Situ Ning said, "Sister Yue, you Is there a way to remove these stones?" Xiao Hongyue thought for a while, then said, "Let me go, I'll try." Situ Ning stepped aside.Xiao Hongyue pulled out the Ningyue Sword.He transported the true energy of the tree, and then concentrated the true energy on the sword, and then slashed at the stone with a swish.The stone was split in two at once.Situ Ning looked at it, and sighed in her heart: "It really is a good sword." Xiao Hongyue cut several more swords, smashing those stones to pieces.The two stepped forward to look, and there was a big hole underneath.
The two looked at each other, Xiao Hongyue said: "Could it be this big hole." Situ Ning said: "Let's go down and have a look." The two supported each other and walked down carefully.went inside.The hole got bigger again.Situ Ning lit the stone lamp.Only then did the two see the cave clearly.There is indeed a big hole in it.The hole extends obliquely downward.The spacious part of the hole inside is really as big as two houses.
Xiao Hongyue said: "This must be the big hole that Gou Liu mentioned. Look, Ning'er, this hole is really as big as two houses. But why are there so many rocks sealing the entrance of the hole? Gou Liu said that he came here that time When I came here, the entrance of the cave was exposed." Situ Ning said: "I think it may be that the rock at the entrance of the cave was suspended in the air. After such a long time of wind and sun, the rock was weathered and collapsed. Buried." Xiao Hongyue nodded.Said: "It is indeed as Ning'er said. Ning'er, look, there is still a passage inside. Let's walk along this passage and have a look." Situ Ning nodded.The two walked along the passage to the depths of the cave.
The author has something to say:
☆, four-legged snake
With the lighting of the stone lamp, the two of them could see the things in the cave clearly.
After walking some distance, the two suddenly heard a hissing sound.Situ Ning was taken aback and immediately became nervous.Said: "Sister Yue, there will be no snakes ahead." She remembered the snake nest they encountered in the depths of Yinshan Mountain last time.I couldn't help feeling scared.Xiao Hongyue hugged her and said: "It's okay, you hold on to me." She drew out her sword and walked in front.
The passage turned a corner.The two saw an animal.It has a long body, but it has four legs.It looks like a snake, and its tongue is still stretched out like a snake.Situ Ning said: "This is Xi, it looks like a snake but has four legs. It is commonly called a four-legged snake." Xiao Hongyue nodded.
I saw the fierce eyes in front of me.They want to go around.Unexpectedly, as soon as they moved, Xi rushed up to bite them.Xiao Hongyue raised her sword and dropped it.Na Xi was split in half and fell to the ground, motionless.
They continued to walk slowly forward.More clarity appeared ahead.The two couldn't help feeling a headache.I have to deal with this.Those Xi all had fierce eyes and stuck out their tongues at them, as if they were about to attack.Situ Ning felt scared.Xiao Hongyue is preparing for a big battle.Situ Ning shouted: "Sister Yue, look!" Xiao Hongyue looked at the side, and there were many mice.I thought: "Why are there so many mice here?" Situ Ning said, "It seems that there are not only Xi's nests here, but also Mouse's nests." Watching the swarms of rats scurrying around.Then those ants swarmed up to prey on those mice one after another.It turned out that Xi likes to eat mice.The reason why they can survive in this cave is because there are many rats here.
Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, let's move forward while they are eating mice." Xiao Hongyue nodded.Protecting Situ Ning, he walked over quickly.
The two went down again and did not know how deep it was, the front of the passage became open, and they came to a spacious space.The two raised the stone lamp and looked around.Saw many strange stones.Those stones protrude downward from the top stone wall, one by one like an awl.There are many stones with water dripping from their tips.Situ Ning said: "These stones are formed after the water flows, washes down the stones little by little, and then deposits them again during the flow. It takes a very long time to form this. It is really a miracle that we can see so many awl stones today." I have seen it." Xiao Hongyue nodded, and continued to look up at the spectacle.
The water dripping from those awls and stones gathered on the ground to form a shallow stream, flowing.Xiao Hongyue stretched out her hand to fish it out, it was very cold.
The two continued to move forward.Opposite this spacious space is a small stone cave.The two passed through the cave and came to another spacious cave.This cave is bigger than the cave just now.There is a thick stone wall between the two caves.
The author has something to say:
☆, stalactites
The two held up the lamp and shone in front of them, and saw a spectacle.I saw a stone pillar in front of it, connecting the ground and the top.The stone pillar is thick at both ends and thin in the middle.Situ Ning said: "This is actually the same kind of awl stone just now. It's just that this time is longer. At the beginning, the stone is continuously extended from the top to the bottom. When it reaches the ground, it is connected to the ground. Then It looks like this." Xiao Hongyue nodded, and couldn't help but marvel at Situ Ning's profound knowledge.
The stone pillar stood in their way.There is a narrow stone road in the middle.There are pools of water on both sides of the road.Xiao Hongyue walked around the stone pillar first.Then he helped Situ Ning pass.After passing the stone pillar, we walked on the small stone road for a while, and it was a flat stone land of not too big or too small.The two sat down on the flat stone ground and rested.
Suddenly Situ Ning said: "Look quickly." Xiao Hongyue followed the direction Situ Ning pointed and looked into the nearby pool.I saw water splashing in it.Xiao Hongyue stood up, holding a stone lamp to shine a light on the water.The water is so clear that you can see directly to the bottom.I saw a few small fish swimming in it.Situ Ning also came up.
The two saw that the fish in the water was very strange, and the whole body was actually transparent.You can see the internal organs clearly.Xiao Hongyue said: "This fish is so strange, it is completely transparent." Situ Ning said: "This fish lives in this dark place underground all year round. Color has lost its meaning to them. As expected, this fish must have no eyes." Xiao Hongyue felt strange, Ning'er knew that this fish had no eyes before she looked carefully.She was a little curious, so she reached out to catch a fish and put it in her hand to look carefully.I saw that the fish had a protrusion where the eyes should have been, and there was a small crack on the protrusion, but there were no eyes on it.Xiao Hongyue couldn't help but cast her eyes on Situ Ning's admiration.If you haven't seen it, you can guess that this fish has no eyes.Quickly asked: "How did Ning'er guess that this fish has no eyes?"
Situ Ning said: "As I said just now, the whole body of this fish is transparent and colorless, because the place where they live is dark and there is no light at all. Color has lost its meaning to them. When there is no light at all, they What's the use of eyes? Eyes need light to see things." Xiao Hongyue thought, yes, she couldn't help admiring Situ Ning.
Xiao Hongyue said: "Can this fish be eaten?" Situ Ning said: "This place is located in the depths, the water flows through the rocks, and many of the stones in the rocks are dissolved in the water. And the fish live here. There are more or less stones in the water. And some stones may be poisonous. We don’t know exactly what these stones are, so it’s best not to eat these fish. Let’s eat the dry food we brought first. You can eat these fish if you really have no choice." Xiao Hongyue nodded.
The two rested for a while before continuing to walk forward.
The cave was winding and winding, and they walked for a while.When they were in the cave in front of them just now, the two of them felt more and more cold.But at this time, the two felt that they were getting hotter and hotter.Both of them were sweating afterward.As they were walking, the two suddenly heard a chirping sound.The sound was very similar to the sound of boiling water coming out of the spout.The two continued to walk forward, and the voice became louder and louder.A spacious stone cave appeared in front of it.The chirping sound in the cave was particularly loud.The two of them could feel the steam around them.
The author has something to say:
☆, burnable gas and water
The two quickly lifted the stone lamp and took photos around them.I saw that there were several cracks in the rocks blowing out hot air.There is a white gas, and there is a little yellow gas in the white.
Situ Ning said: "I'm afraid there are hot rocks in the strata below this. Sister Yue, do you still remember the hot water pool we found in Yuanmu Mountain last time?" Xiao Hongyue nodded, and then asked: "It's steaming here. Is it also a hot pool like that?" Situ Ning said: "The bottom here is the same as the one there, and it is very close to the underground hot rock. The hot rock heats the surrounding air and sprays it out from these cracks." Situ Ning walked to a Near the white stone crevice, pointed to it and said: "Sister Yue, look at this white gas crevice. There is water under it. The water is heated by the hot rock below to become gas, and it is ejected through this crevice." Then Situ Ning again Walking to a place with light yellow gas, he said: "There is sulfur under this. It is a kind of yellow thing that can burn. When the underground hot rock heats this, sulfur gas will be ejected with water vapor. This gas can burn. Sister Yue might as well take a look."
Xiao Hongyue lit a torch with great interest, and threw it on the spewing gas, only to see that the gas was ignited and gave off a pungent smell.Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er knows a lot. This underground cave is really magical. There are so many things that I have never seen before." Situ Ning smiled.Then she walked around again with the lamp.Then he said: "Sister Yue, come and have a look." Xiao Hongyue hurried over.
Situ Ning pointed to a surface of water and said, "Sister Yue, look at the surface of the water. There is a layer of sulfur floating on it. If Sister Yue uses fire to light it, she can also light it, and then you can see that the water is on fire. What a spectacle." Xiao Hongyue was very curious about this.So he lit a torch and slowly put it on the water.I saw a small flame burning on the surface of the water.After a while, the small flame burned bigger and bigger, and it gave off the same smell as the burning gas from before.After a while, a large area of the water surface was on fire, and there was really a spectacle of fire burning on the water.Xiao Hongyue stood there in shock, speechless for a long time.Then she said, "This is really amazing!" Situ Ning smiled.The two stayed here to play for a long time.It wasn't until the two of them had seen enough and played enough that they sat down to eat something and continued to set off.
The two continued to move forward.There are two forks ahead.The two were in trouble for a while.Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er, there are two forked roads ahead, which way do you think we should go?" Situ Ning said: "Just from the appearance of this forked road and the direction of the wind, it really doesn't make sense. These two forked roads are somewhat Strange. The one on the left is slanting downward, while the one on the right is slanting upward. If the gemstone is deep underground, then our general direction should be downward. We might as well go down and have a look." Xiao Hongyue nodded .The two walked to the left road.
This passage runs diagonally downwards.After walking for a while, it was not as hot as the stone cave where the white gas was emitting just now.A spacious corridor-like passage appeared ahead.The two walked in, and Situ Ning said, "Sister Yue, look!" Xiao Hongyue raised the stone lamp and shone on the four walls.I saw that the stones on the four walls of this passage were so strange.Concave and convex, one by one presents a variety of strange images.Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, look at that stone, does it look like a horse?" Xiao Hongyue looked in the direction she pointed.Really like a running wild horse.Situ Ning said again: "That one is like a cloud, that one is like a big tree, that one is like a dog, and that one is like a mountain." Xiao Hongyue said, "Yes, these stones are amazing, they look like other things. This can't be artificially carved, right?" Situ Ning thought for a while, and said: "It doesn't look like it was artificially carved. There is no trace of artificial carving. If it is artificial, there will be traces of chiseling. And this, Not at all. It should have been eroded by flowing water and heat over the years. How many years will it take to form?" Xiao Hongyue also sighed: "Yes, it's amazing!"
The two of them held up their lamps to shine forward, and the entire long corridor was covered with such strangely shaped stone walls.However, the two walked further, and at the end of the corridor, they found that there was no way inside.Xiao Hongyue held up the lamp and carefully illuminated the top of the road, but there was indeed no road.So he said, "Ning'er, did we go the wrong way?" Situ Ning looked carefully and said, "There is indeed no road ahead. Although there is a stone crevice, there is no strong wind at the crevice. Really. There is no passage behind. I guess we went wrong. At the fork in the road just now, we should have taken the slanted road.” So the two walked back.Came to that fork in the road again.
The two walked in from the slanting road this time.Not long after I walked, the slanting upward road turned into a slanting downward road. While going down obliquely, it made a bend to the right.Then turn left again.The road twists and turns all the way, and after a while, it arrives in a large and long space.
This long space lay across in front of them.They come out of the hole.After walking for a while, we encountered an underground river.The river is ten paces wide.The river is flowing slowly.Xiao Hongyue took Situ Ning and jumped across the river.Go forward again.The two were on the opposite side of the river. They had just walked a dozen steps forward when there was no way ahead.It is a high stone wall.The two changed directions again and walked to the left along the edge of the stone wall.There is no way out.Walk to the right again, and after walking for a while, there is indeed a passage ahead.

☆、Artisan Lounge
The two entered that passage.Inside is a large stone chamber.Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, look!" Xiao Hongyue raised the stone lamp and shone into the stone room.I saw long stone tables and long stone benches placed in the stone room.This is obviously an artificial trace!Xiao Hongyue said: "Someone must have been here. These stone tables and benches should be made by those people. What are they doing for?" Situ Ning carefully inspected those stone tables and benches.After looking at it for a while, she said: "These things are old and haven't been used for a long time. The top is not smooth at all. Instead, it was eroded by the heat and formed small pits." Xiao Hongyue nodded.The two looked around the stone room again.Some tools such as chisels and axes were found.Situ Ning said: "These should be the tools used by those people back then. Originally, these tools had wooden handles. After a long time, the wooden handles rotted away, leaving only the iron parts." Xiao Hongyue nodded .
Situ Ning pondered for a while, and then said: "If I'm right. This place is the resting place for the craftsmen who excavated here. You see, the outside is where we just came, and it's an underground river. The river water It is clear. You can fetch water, drink water, and then make a fire to cook. These craftsmen rest in this stone room when they are tired from work. If my guess is correct, I am afraid that if we go further, we will reach the place where the excavation was done. Yes What made these people pay such a high price. Extensive manual excavation in this underground cave?" Xiao Hongyue also thought about it, and said: "Could it be a gem?" Situ Ning said: "That's the only way to explain it. It is very laborious to excavate these things, if there are not very rare and valuable things, these people would not spend such a high price to excavate them." Xiao Hongyue nodded, and then Situ Ning said: "I guess the excavation site is ahead. Sister Yue, I can’t see the sun in this underground cave. I don’t know how long it has been outside. But I feel very sleepy. I guess it’s night outside. Let’s rest here today, okay. I’ll go there tomorrow Excavate the site and proceed." Xiao Hongyue nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Xiao Hongyue began to set up tents and prepare for camping.There was no fire starter here, so Xiao Hongyue had to take out a useless stone lamp, pour out the wax inside, and then lit a fire.I went outside to get some water from the underground river and burned it.The two watched the fire and ate first.After eating, I drank some water.Then the boiling water boiled.The two washed their faces and feet.Just heat up here.
After warming up, the two of them felt very comfortable, and tiredness hit them.The two got into the tent and fell asleep.
I don't know how long they slept, the two woke up, and the surroundings were still dark.The two lighted the stone lamps.The fire that was lit yesterday has been extinguished.The two boiled some water again, washed and ate something.Then pack up your things and move on.
Passing through this stone room, the two walked into another passage.The passage didn't go far, and it came out.Into a large underground space.I saw murals carved everywhere on the stone walls of this underground space.Situ Ning raised the lamp to look carefully, and said: "These should be carved by people from the ancient country of Dali back then. Sister Yue, look at these paintings. It clearly records how they mined this underground cave." Xiao Hongyue looked carefully, Sure enough, I saw a person working on the sculpture.Something is mined out of the cave, and then picked out again.
Xiao Hongyue is looking at the murals here.Situ Ning continued to look around.
Suddenly Xiao Hongyue heard Situ Ning say: "Sister Yue, come and see!" Xiao Hongyue hurried over.I saw a trace of unfinished excavation there.I don't know why, but the people who excavated half of it then put it down, and didn't finish the excavation.Situ Ning said: "The excavation has not been completed, which means that there are still some things they want to mine. Sister Yue, try to break down these rocks and see what is inside." Xiao Hongyue pulled out the Ningyue Sword and pointed at A split in the stone pit.The gravel collapsed and flew.There is nothing below.Xiao Hongyue was not reconciled, and chopped several swords in a row.I saw that there seemed to be something caught in the flying gravel.Situ Ning said, "Sister Yue, stop for a moment." Then she stepped forward to pick up a gravel.Watch carefully.
The author has something to say:
☆, crushed gems
Situ Ning handed the stone to Xiao Hongyue.Xiao Hongyue took a closer look, and saw that the inside of the stone was shining brightly under the light of the fire.Xiao Hongyue got lucky and crushed that stone.Something shiny inside was exposed.I saw that this thing was faint blue, transparent and shiny.Very beautiful.Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er, this must be a gem! We found it! We found it!" Situ Ning nodded and said, "This is a kind of sapphire. It is very precious. But, I guess, what we are looking for is not here Feeling puzzled, Xiao Hongyue asked: "This is obviously a large underground excavation field, and we also found traces of unfinished excavation, and found gemstones. Isn't this the mining field of the ancient Dali country? "Situ Ning said: "It's true that this is a mining site. But sister Yue, haven't you found anything strange?" Xiao Hongyue asked: "What is strange?" Situ Ning said: "You think, if there were still There are gems, so why did they stop halfway through mining? I guess what happened that year was like this. The rocks here were originally rich in gems. No. Sister Yue, you just broke a lot of rocks to find such a small piece of gemstone. So the people back then abandoned this place and started digging again in places with more gemstones.” Xiao Hongyue nodded and said: “It’s very possible That's right." Situ Ning said: "If my estimate is correct, there should be a passage leading to the front in this stone room." Xiao Hongyue said: "Then let's look around here." So the two held up the lamp Searched around the stone room.
In an inconspicuous place, Situ Ning found a small stone cave.She hurriedly called Xiao Hongyue to come and see.Xiao Hongyue said: "This cave is relatively small, and only one person can crawl through it. Ning'er, wait here, I'll go in and have a look first." So Xiao Hongyue lowered her body and crawled in.
She crawled forward for a while and found that there was space in front of her.So he hurried back and called his boss, Situ Ning, and the two climbed over together.Ahead is a stone cave.But this cave is a bit weird.
The author has something to say:
☆, light and shadow maze
Xiao Hongyue held up a lamp to illuminate the cave, and said, "What is this?" Situ Ning said, "I'm afraid it's a formation." There were stone slabs that were polished as smooth as a mirror everywhere in the cave.As soon as the light from the stone lamp hit it, the reflection dazzled them.The two of them walked past the stone slabs, and saw that the stone slabs were arranged in a seemingly disorderly manner, but they walked for a long time and returned to the original place.Xiao Hongyue said: "It seems that this is a formation, how do we go out?" Situ Ning said: "This formation is still a bit powerful, let's not mess around. Let me think about it."
Situ Ning thought for a while and said: "Sister Yue, pick up some stones. We walked through the gap between two stone slabs, and put a stone in this gap. As long as we walk towards the gap between the stone slabs without stones, we will definitely be able to walk Get out." Following Situ Ning's method, the two of them passed through the maze of light and shadow in a short while.
In front is an exit.The two went out and saw that there was no way ahead.I saw only a small platform protruding from the exit of the stone chamber of the Light and Shadow Maze.In front of the platform is the abyss.Xiao Hongyue asked: "The place we are looking for is not below here." Situ Ning held up the lamp and looked around.Said: "There is no place to go down here. It should not be below." Then she raised the lamp to look forward, and said, "Sister Yue, do you see something on the other side?" Xiao Hongyue also raised the lamp to shine forward .As soon as the two lights shone, the things in front became a little clearer.It is a road that stretches over the abyss.Xiao Hongyue said: "That's the road. It seems that we have to jump over it. But it's at least five feet long, so we can't jump over it at all. What should we do?" Situ Ning was also thinking.
The author has something to say:
☆、Transparent bridge
Suddenly, Situ Ning noticed that a little ashes fell from the stone lamp Xiao Hongyue was holding, and the ashes still had sparks.Xiao Hongyue's lamp is stretched out of the platform, above the abyss.It stands to reason that Mars should have fallen into the abyss.But the Mars fell in mid-air and didn't move.Then after a while, it went out.Situ Ning's eyes widened.
She quickly squatted down and put the lamp she was holding above the position just now.Seeing her strange behavior, Xiao Hongyue also squatted down to look at her.Situ Ning picked up a few sparks from her lamp with something.I saw that those sparks fell to the mid-air and did not move, and then gradually extinguished.Xiao Hongyue also stared wide-eyed in amazement.She said, "Ning'er, what's going on?" Situ Ning frowned and thought about it.Then he took a small stone and threw it lightly at the position just now.I saw that small stone also fell in the air, bounced a few times, and finally stopped.
Situ Ning reached out and touched a cold and smooth surface.She said: "Sister Yue, touch it like me." Xiao Hongyue also touched it like Situ Ning.She felt a cool smooth surface like a rock.She was taken aback.Situ Ning said: "That's right, that's the one. Sister Yue, there seems to be nothing here, but there is actually something. This is a very transparent rock. If I guess right, these transparent rocks lead to On the opposite platform. This is a transparent bridge!" Xiao Hongyue was too shocked to speak.Situ Ning continued: "If it is in broad daylight, this transparent bridge can still be seen differently from the surroundings. But in this dimly lit underground, you can't see it at all. Also, this transparent bridge needs to find out what it has. How wide, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may fall." Xiao Hongyue nodded.
Xiao Hongyue pulled out her sword, and tried left and right. The transparent bridge was only one step wide, just enough for one person to pass through.Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, be careful, let's go forward." So the two walked onto the transparent bridge.Xiao Hongyue walked in front, testing everything around her with her sword every time she took a step.The two held the lamps and walked on the transparent bridge. Looking at the abyss below, they felt scared.Situ Ning didn't look down, but only looked at Xiao Hongyue's back, and followed her closely, walking forward step by step.
Xiao Hongyue stopped suddenly.Situ Ning asked: "Sister Yue, what's the matter?" Xiao Hongyue said: "There is no way ahead." Situ Ning looked forward.Said: "It's still quite far from the platform in front. It's just half way through here, so there shouldn't be no way. Sister Yue, can you
The two were silent for a while, and Situ Ning said: "Anyway, you have paid for this news. Show me the map after dinner. Let's take a trip. As far as I know, The southwest plateau was part of the ancient kingdom of Dali a long, long time ago. If what Gou Liu said is true, that cave is likely to be the relic of the ancient kingdom of Dali." Xiao Hongyue nodded.The two stopped talking and started eating.
After eating, Xiao Hongyue carefully opened the cloth bag.I saw a piece of yellowed paper inside.A map was drawn crookedly on it.At the location of the southwest plateau, a circle was drawn on the map to highlight it.Situ Ning said: "This piece of paper has been used for a long time and is easy to break. I will trace this map on a new piece of cloth in a while." Xiao Hongyue nodded.Said: "Ning'er, that 20 taels of silver is the only money I have left. Now we really have no money at all. We have to prepare some money to go to the southwest plateau. Next, I will go to accept a few more commissions to earn some money. Take the money." Situ Ning nodded, and said, "To go to that place, I need a lot of tools along the way. During this time, I will make some tools for use on the road." After discussing these things, the two went to bed down.
At night, Situ Ning couldn't help thinking: "My sister this month was so innocent and cute. A little gangster used just one thing and cheated her of 20 taels of silver." Thinking of this, Situ Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.She thought, I hope what the little bastard said is true.Thinking about it, sleepiness hit her, she hugged Xiao Hongyue and fell asleep.

☆、Preparation before departure
The next day, Xiao Hongyue went on to receive the commission, while Situ Ning began to prepare the tools to be used on the road.
In the past few days, Xiao Hongyue has received two commissions, one to kill and the other to fetch things.The commission of murder earned 20 taels of silver.The entrustment of taking things earned ten taels of silver.Xiao Hongyue spent part of the money to buy some money.
In the past few days, Situ Ning has also made several useful tools.
That night, she showed Xiao Hongyue all the tools she had made in the past few days.The first thing she took out was a small lamp.This is a square lamp that she polished finely out of a transparent rock.Slightly bigger than a fist.The inside is divided into two small compartments, and the lower compartment is for burning things such as oil and wax.Put the wick in a small compartment on the top.The wick extends through a small hole to the small grid below to draw oil.There are also several small holes around the upper grid for ventilation.There is also a small hole on the top to release the smoke from burning.Situ Ning also made a wooden clip for this small lamp, which can be held by hand.It can also be carried by a line.Xiao Hongyue applauded when she saw it.Since her night pearl was gone, it was very inconvenient for her to go in and out of the dark.With this small light, it is even more convenient.Moreover, they went to a cave this time, and the cold light of the night pearl was not bright enough.The night pearl is better for assassination.But when used as cave lighting, the light appears a bit dim.At this time, the small lamp made by Situ Ning is more useful.
Situ Ning also made a mechanism that can launch a rope.Fold the rope inside.Good luck.As soon as the engine is pulled, the rope is launched.The front of the rope is fastened with a hook.Can hook things.This is especially useful when climbing.This mechanism is not big and can be folded up when not in use.The fold is supposed to be the size of a book.
In addition, Situ Ning also made a small foldable ladder.Fold it when not in use, put it in the package, and unfold it when you use it.It can be extended to two feet long.
Xiao Hongyue was full of praise for these tools.She said: "Ning'er, you are really good. With these things, it will be much more convenient." Situ Ning responded with a smile.

☆、Tour to Southwest Plateau
With everything ready, the two set off on a sunny morning.The two were not like the carriage supported by Mo Hanxing before.Now that there was no carriage, the two had no choice but to walk all the way.I don't know how long they walked, but the two finally reached the southwest plateau according to the route on the map.
A desolate scene on the southwest plateau.There are stones everywhere.There is only a thin layer of weathered stone on the ground, other than that, there are stones everywhere.The plants are only a few weeds and shrubs.The two had prepared food and water long before going to the plateau.Otherwise, in this desolate place, even if you want to hunt wild game, you will not be able to find it.In addition to buying some necessary things, the two bought all the silver and dry food.
The two were walking on the plateau wearing headscarves.Xiao Hongyue said: "It's really windy on this plateau. Fortunately, I prepared a headscarf. Ning'er, where have we gone? How long will it take to get there?" Situ Ning took out the map and looked at it, and said, "I guess we will go later. It will be two hours." Xiao Hongyue looked up at the sky.Said: "The sun is about to set. Let's go there and camp today. We won't go down to the cave today." Situ Ning nodded.
The two walked for another two hours and reached the location of the cave marked on the map.But it was dark and didn't see any big caves.There are only some unremarkable small caves with weathered stones.Xiao Hongyue felt strange, and said: "Ning'er, why is there no such big cave as Gou Liu said here. You won't be deceived by Gou Liu." Situ Ning said: "Everyone is here, let's look around tomorrow. .It’s dark now, so I can’t see clearly. Let’s camp today.” Xiao Hongyue nodded, took out camping tools, and set up a tent.The two ate something and drank some water.Just fell asleep.
The wind on the plateau is very strong.Especially at night.The sound of the wind rang in their ears.There are many stones on the plateau, and there are many holes formed by the weathering of the stones.There are also many gaps between the stones.The whining sound of the strong wind blowing through these holes and gaps makes people listen very strangely.Situ Ning was a little scared.It tightened in Xiao Hongyue's arms.Xiao Hongyue also hugged her tightly.The two hugged each other, and after a while, they fell asleep.

☆, looking for the entrance
Early the next morning, it began to drizzle.The two quickly put away the tent.Put on the leather jacket made by Situ Ning again.This kind of leather jacket can keep out the rain.The two braved the rain and stepped on large and small puddles to find the entrance of the legendary cave on the barren plateau.
The two searched for a long time but could not find it.Xiao Hongyue said frustratedly: "Ning'er, it seems that I was deceived by that Gou Liu. I'm so sorry that I made you work so hard to come here with me." Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, don't worry. We'll look for it later. You see, it is raining now. If there is really the big and deep cave that Gou Liu said, the rainwater will flow there. There will be very little water in the area around the cave. We follow this Look for clues."
The two searched for a while according to the method Situ Ning said.Suddenly Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er, come here and take a look." Situ Ning hurried over to have a look, and said: "There is hardly any stagnant water here. There must be a cave below here. The water must have flowed into the cave. Yue Sister, take out a spoon and use it." Xiao Hongyue took out a small spoon.Situ Ning took the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of water from the large puddles a foot away.Then come back here and pour water on the ground.Then watch the flow of water.I saw the water flowing in one direction along the small ditch and groove on the ground.Situ Ning followed the current and walked forward.Xiao Hongyue followed suit.At one point, the water flow disappeared.Situ Ning took a closer look and said, "Sister Yue, there seems to be a crack in the rock below." Xiao Hongyue stepped forward to look and said, "There is a crack in the rock." Situ Ning said, "Sister Yue, you Is there a way to remove these stones?" Xiao Hongyue thought for a while, then said, "Let me go, I'll try." Situ Ning stepped aside.Xiao Hongyue pulled out the Ningyue Sword.He transported the true energy of the tree, and then concentrated the true energy on the sword, and then slashed at the stone with a swish.The stone was split in two at once.Situ Ning looked at it, and sighed in her heart: "It really is a good sword." Xiao Hongyue cut several more swords, smashing those stones to pieces.The two stepped forward to look, and there was a big hole underneath.
The two looked at each other, Xiao Hongyue said: "Could it be this big hole." Situ Ning said: "Let's go down and have a look." The two supported each other and walked down carefully.went inside.The hole got bigger again.Situ Ning lit the stone lamp.Only then did the two see the cave clearly.There is indeed a big hole in it.The hole extends obliquely downward.The spacious part of the hole inside is really as big as two houses.
Xiao Hongyue said: "This must be the big hole that Gou Liu mentioned. Look, Ning'er, this hole is really as big as two houses. But why are there so many rocks sealing the entrance of the hole? Gou Liu said that he came here that time When I came here, the entrance of the cave was exposed." Situ Ning said: "I think it may be that the rock at the entrance of the cave was suspended in the air. After such a long time of wind and sun, the rock was weathered and collapsed. Buried." Xiao Hongyue nodded.Said: "It is indeed as Ning'er said. Ning'er, look, there is still a passage inside. Let's walk along this passage and have a look." Situ Ning nodded.The two walked along the passage to the depths of the cave.
The author has something to say:
☆, four-legged snake
With the lighting of the stone lamp, the two of them could see the things in the cave clearly.
After walking some distance, the two suddenly heard a hissing sound.Situ Ning was taken aback and immediately became nervous.Said: "Sister Yue, there will be no snakes ahead." She remembered the snake nest they encountered in the depths of Yinshan Mountain last time.I couldn't help feeling scared.Xiao Hongyue hugged her and said: "It's okay, you hold on to me." She drew out her sword and walked in front.
The passage turned a corner.The two saw an animal.It has a long body, but it has four legs.It looks like a snake, and its tongue is still stretched out like a snake.Situ Ning said: "This is Xi, it looks like a snake but has four legs. It is commonly called a four-legged snake." Xiao Hongyue nodded.
I saw the fierce eyes in front of me.They want to go around.Unexpectedly, as soon as they moved, Xi rushed up to bite them.Xiao Hongyue raised her sword and dropped it.Na Xi was split in half and fell to the ground, motionless.
They continued to walk slowly forward.More clarity appeared ahead.The two couldn't help feeling a headache.I have to deal with this.Those Xi all had fierce eyes and stuck out their tongues at them, as if they were about to attack.Situ Ning felt scared.Xiao Hongyue is preparing for a big battle.Situ Ning shouted: "Sister Yue, look!" Xiao Hongyue looked at the side, and there were many mice.I thought: "Why are there so many mice here?" Situ Ning said, "It seems that there are not only Xi's nests here, but also Mouse's nests." Watching the swarms of rats scurrying around.Then those ants swarmed up to prey on those mice one after another.It turned out that Xi likes to eat mice.The reason why they can survive in this cave is because there are many rats here.
Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, let's move forward while they are eating mice." Xiao Hongyue nodded.Protecting Situ Ning, he walked over quickly.
The two went down again and did not know how deep it was, the front of the passage became open, and they came to a spacious space.The two raised the stone lamp and looked around.Saw many strange stones.Those stones protrude downward from the top stone wall, one by one like an awl.There are many stones with water dripping from their tips.Situ Ning said: "These stones are formed after the water flows, washes down the stones little by little, and then deposits them again during the flow. It takes a very long time to form this. It is really a miracle that we can see so many awl stones today." I have seen it." Xiao Hongyue nodded, and continued to look up at the spectacle.
The water dripping from those awls and stones gathered on the ground to form a shallow stream, flowing.Xiao Hongyue stretched out her hand to fish it out, it was very cold.
The two continued to move forward.Opposite this spacious space is a small stone cave.The two passed through the cave and came to another spacious cave.This cave is bigger than the cave just now.There is a thick stone wall between the two caves.
The author has something to say:
☆, stalactites
The two held up the lamp and shone in front of them, and saw a spectacle.I saw a stone pillar in front of it, connecting the ground and the top.The stone pillar is thick at both ends and thin in the middle.Situ Ning said: "This is actually the same kind of awl stone just now. It's just that this time is longer. At the beginning, the stone is continuously extended from the top to the bottom. When it reaches the ground, it is connected to the ground. Then It looks like this." Xiao Hongyue nodded, and couldn't help but marvel at Situ Ning's profound knowledge.
The stone pillar stood in their way.There is a narrow stone road in the middle.There are pools of water on both sides of the road.Xiao Hongyue walked around the stone pillar first.Then he helped Situ Ning pass.After passing the stone pillar, we walked on the small stone road for a while, and it was a flat stone land of not too big or too small.The two sat down on the flat stone ground and rested.
Suddenly Situ Ning said: "Look quickly." Xiao Hongyue followed the direction Situ Ning pointed and looked into the nearby pool.I saw water splashing in it.Xiao Hongyue stood up, holding a stone lamp to shine a light on the water.The water is so clear that you can see directly to the bottom.I saw a few small fish swimming in it.Situ Ning also came up.
The two saw that the fish in the water was very strange, and the whole body was actually transparent.You can see the internal organs clearly.Xiao Hongyue said: "This fish is so strange, it is completely transparent." Situ Ning said: "This fish lives in this dark place underground all year round. Color has lost its meaning to them. As expected, this fish must have no eyes." Xiao Hongyue felt strange, Ning'er knew that this fish had no eyes before she looked carefully.She was a little curious, so she reached out to catch a fish and put it in her hand to look carefully.I saw that the fish had a protrusion where the eyes should have been, and there was a small crack on the protrusion, but there were no eyes on it.Xiao Hongyue couldn't help but cast her eyes on Situ Ning's admiration.If you haven't seen it, you can guess that this fish has no eyes.Quickly asked: "How did Ning'er guess that this fish has no eyes?"
Situ Ning said: "As I said just now, the whole body of this fish is transparent and colorless, because the place where they live is dark and there is no light at all. Color has lost its meaning to them. When there is no light at all, they What's the use of eyes? Eyes need light to see things." Xiao Hongyue thought, yes, she couldn't help admiring Situ Ning.
Xiao Hongyue said: "Can this fish be eaten?" Situ Ning said: "This place is located in the depths, the water flows through the rocks, and many of the stones in the rocks are dissolved in the water. And the fish live here. There are more or less stones in the water. And some stones may be poisonous. We don’t know exactly what these stones are, so it’s best not to eat these fish. Let’s eat the dry food we brought first. You can eat these fish if you really have no choice." Xiao Hongyue nodded.
The two rested for a while before continuing to walk forward.
The cave was winding and winding, and they walked for a while.When they were in the cave in front of them just now, the two of them felt more and more cold.But at this time, the two felt that they were getting hotter and hotter.Both of them were sweating afterward.As they were walking, the two suddenly heard a chirping sound.The sound was very similar to the sound of boiling water coming out of the spout.The two continued to walk forward, and the voice became louder and louder.A spacious stone cave appeared in front of it.The chirping sound in the cave was particularly loud.The two of them could feel the steam around them.
The author has something to say:
☆, burnable gas and water
The two quickly lifted the stone lamp and took photos around them.I saw that there were several cracks in the rocks blowing out hot air.There is a white gas, and there is a little yellow gas in the white.
Situ Ning said: "I'm afraid there are hot rocks in the strata below this. Sister Yue, do you still remember the hot water pool we found in Yuanmu Mountain last time?" Xiao Hongyue nodded, and then asked: "It's steaming here. Is it also a hot pool like that?" Situ Ning said: "The bottom here is the same as the one there, and it is very close to the underground hot rock. The hot rock heats the surrounding air and sprays it out from these cracks." Situ Ning walked to a Near the white stone crevice, pointed to it and said: "Sister Yue, look at this white gas crevice. There is water under it. The water is heated by the hot rock below to become gas, and it is ejected through this crevice." Then Situ Ning again Walking to a place with light yellow gas, he said: "There is sulfur under this. It is a kind of yellow thing that can burn. When the underground hot rock heats this, sulfur gas will be ejected with water vapor. This gas can burn. Sister Yue might as well take a look."
Xiao Hongyue lit a torch with great interest, and threw it on the spewing gas, only to see that the gas was ignited and gave off a pungent smell.Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er knows a lot. This underground cave is really magical. There are so many things that I have never seen before." Situ Ning smiled.Then she walked around again with the lamp.Then he said: "Sister Yue, come and have a look." Xiao Hongyue hurried over.
Situ Ning pointed to a surface of water and said, "Sister Yue, look at the surface of the water. There is a layer of sulfur floating on it. If Sister Yue uses fire to light it, she can also light it, and then you can see that the water is on fire. What a spectacle." Xiao Hongyue was very curious about this.So he lit a torch and slowly put it on the water.I saw a small flame burning on the surface of the water.After a while, the small flame burned bigger and bigger, and it gave off the same smell as the burning gas from before.After a while, a large area of the water surface was on fire, and there was really a spectacle of fire burning on the water.Xiao Hongyue stood there in shock, speechless for a long time.Then she said, "This is really amazing!" Situ Ning smiled.The two stayed here to play for a long time.It wasn't until the two of them had seen enough and played enough that they sat down to eat something and continued to set off.
The two continued to move forward.There are two forks ahead.The two were in trouble for a while.Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er, there are two forked roads ahead, which way do you think we should go?" Situ Ning said: "Just from the appearance of this forked road and the direction of the wind, it really doesn't make sense. These two forked roads are somewhat Strange. The one on the left is slanting downward, while the one on the right is slanting upward. If the gemstone is deep underground, then our general direction should be downward. We might as well go down and have a look." Xiao Hongyue nodded .The two walked to the left road.
This passage runs diagonally downwards.After walking for a while, it was not as hot as the stone cave where the white gas was emitting just now.A spacious corridor-like passage appeared ahead.The two walked in, and Situ Ning said, "Sister Yue, look!" Xiao Hongyue raised the stone lamp and shone on the four walls.I saw that the stones on the four walls of this passage were so strange.Concave and convex, one by one presents a variety of strange images.Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, look at that stone, does it look like a horse?" Xiao Hongyue looked in the direction she pointed.Really like a running wild horse.Situ Ning said again: "That one is like a cloud, that one is like a big tree, that one is like a dog, and that one is like a mountain." Xiao Hongyue said, "Yes, these stones are amazing, they look like other things. This can't be artificially carved, right?" Situ Ning thought for a while, and said: "It doesn't look like it was artificially carved. There is no trace of artificial carving. If it is artificial, there will be traces of chiseling. And this, Not at all. It should have been eroded by flowing water and heat over the years. How many years will it take to form?" Xiao Hongyue also sighed: "Yes, it's amazing!"
The two of them held up their lamps to shine forward, and the entire long corridor was covered with such strangely shaped stone walls.However, the two walked further, and at the end of the corridor, they found that there was no way inside.Xiao Hongyue held up the lamp and carefully illuminated the top of the road, but there was indeed no road.So he said, "Ning'er, did we go the wrong way?" Situ Ning looked carefully and said, "There is indeed no road ahead. Although there is a stone crevice, there is no strong wind at the crevice. Really. There is no passage behind. I guess we went wrong. At the fork in the road just now, we should have taken the slanted road.” So the two walked back.Came to that fork in the road again.
The two walked in from the slanting road this time.Not long after I walked, the slanting upward road turned into a slanting downward road. While going down obliquely, it made a bend to the right.Then turn left again.The road twists and turns all the way, and after a while, it arrives in a large and long space.
This long space lay across in front of them.They come out of the hole.After walking for a while, we encountered an underground river.The river is ten paces wide.The river is flowing slowly.Xiao Hongyue took Situ Ning and jumped across the river.Go forward again.The two were on the opposite side of the river. They had just walked a dozen steps forward when there was no way ahead.It is a high stone wall.The two changed directions again and walked to the left along the edge of the stone wall.There is no way out.Walk to the right again, and after walking for a while, there is indeed a passage ahead.

☆、Artisan Lounge
The two entered that passage.Inside is a large stone chamber.Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, look!" Xiao Hongyue raised the stone lamp and shone into the stone room.I saw long stone tables and long stone benches placed in the stone room.This is obviously an artificial trace!Xiao Hongyue said: "Someone must have been here. These stone tables and benches should be made by those people. What are they doing for?" Situ Ning carefully inspected those stone tables and benches.After looking at it for a while, she said: "These things are old and haven't been used for a long time. The top is not smooth at all. Instead, it was eroded by the heat and formed small pits." Xiao Hongyue nodded.The two looked around the stone room again.Some tools such as chisels and axes were found.Situ Ning said: "These should be the tools used by those people back then. Originally, these tools had wooden handles. After a long time, the wooden handles rotted away, leaving only the iron parts." Xiao Hongyue nodded .
Situ Ning pondered for a while, and then said: "If I'm right. This place is the resting place for the craftsmen who excavated here. You see, the outside is where we just came, and it's an underground river. The river water It is clear. You can fetch water, drink water, and then make a fire to cook. These craftsmen rest in this stone room when they are tired from work. If my guess is correct, I am afraid that if we go further, we will reach the place where the excavation was done. Yes What made these people pay such a high price. Extensive manual excavation in this underground cave?" Xiao Hongyue also thought about it, and said: "Could it be a gem?" Situ Ning said: "That's the only way to explain it. It is very laborious to excavate these things, if there are not very rare and valuable things, these people would not spend such a high price to excavate them." Xiao Hongyue nodded, and then Situ Ning said: "I guess the excavation site is ahead. Sister Yue, I can’t see the sun in this underground cave. I don’t know how long it has been outside. But I feel very sleepy. I guess it’s night outside. Let’s rest here today, okay. I’ll go there tomorrow Excavate the site and proceed." Xiao Hongyue nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Xiao Hongyue began to set up tents and prepare for camping.There was no fire starter here, so Xiao Hongyue had to take out a useless stone lamp, pour out the wax inside, and then lit a fire.I went outside to get some water from the underground river and burned it.The two watched the fire and ate first.After eating, I drank some water.Then the boiling water boiled.The two washed their faces and feet.Just heat up here.
After warming up, the two of them felt very comfortable, and tiredness hit them.The two got into the tent and fell asleep.
I don't know how long they slept, the two woke up, and the surroundings were still dark.The two lighted the stone lamps.The fire that was lit yesterday has been extinguished.The two boiled some water again, washed and ate something.Then pack up your things and move on.
Passing through this stone room, the two walked into another passage.The passage didn't go far, and it came out.Into a large underground space.I saw murals carved everywhere on the stone walls of this underground space.Situ Ning raised the lamp to look carefully, and said: "These should be carved by people from the ancient country of Dali back then. Sister Yue, look at these paintings. It clearly records how they mined this underground cave." Xiao Hongyue looked carefully, Sure enough, I saw a person working on the sculpture.Something is mined out of the cave, and then picked out again.
Xiao Hongyue is looking at the murals here.Situ Ning continued to look around.
Suddenly Xiao Hongyue heard Situ Ning say: "Sister Yue, come and see!" Xiao Hongyue hurried over.I saw a trace of unfinished excavation there.I don't know why, but the people who excavated half of it then put it down, and didn't finish the excavation.Situ Ning said: "The excavation has not been completed, which means that there are still some things they want to mine. Sister Yue, try to break down these rocks and see what is inside." Xiao Hongyue pulled out the Ningyue Sword and pointed at A split in the stone pit.The gravel collapsed and flew.There is nothing below.Xiao Hongyue was not reconciled, and chopped several swords in a row.I saw that there seemed to be something caught in the flying gravel.Situ Ning said, "Sister Yue, stop for a moment." Then she stepped forward to pick up a gravel.Watch carefully.
The author has something to say:
☆, crushed gems
Situ Ning handed the stone to Xiao Hongyue.Xiao Hongyue took a closer look, and saw that the inside of the stone was shining brightly under the light of the fire.Xiao Hongyue got lucky and crushed that stone.Something shiny inside was exposed.I saw that this thing was faint blue, transparent and shiny.Very beautiful.Xiao Hongyue said: "Ning'er, this must be a gem! We found it! We found it!" Situ Ning nodded and said, "This is a kind of sapphire. It is very precious. But, I guess, what we are looking for is not here Feeling puzzled, Xiao Hongyue asked: "This is obviously a large underground excavation field, and we also found traces of unfinished excavation, and found gemstones. Isn't this the mining field of the ancient Dali country? "Situ Ning said: "It's true that this is a mining site. But sister Yue, haven't you found anything strange?" Xiao Hongyue asked: "What is strange?" Situ Ning said: "You think, if there were still There are gems, so why did they stop halfway through mining? I guess what happened that year was like this. The rocks here were originally rich in gems. No. Sister Yue, you just broke a lot of rocks to find such a small piece of gemstone. So the people back then abandoned this place and started digging again in places with more gemstones.” Xiao Hongyue nodded and said: “It’s very possible That's right." Situ Ning said: "If my estimate is correct, there should be a passage leading to the front in this stone room." Xiao Hongyue said: "Then let's look around here." So the two held up the lamp Searched around the stone room.
In an inconspicuous place, Situ Ning found a small stone cave.She hurriedly called Xiao Hongyue to come and see.Xiao Hongyue said: "This cave is relatively small, and only one person can crawl through it. Ning'er, wait here, I'll go in and have a look first." So Xiao Hongyue lowered her body and crawled in.
She crawled forward for a while and found that there was space in front of her.So he hurried back and called his boss, Situ Ning, and the two climbed over together.Ahead is a stone cave.But this cave is a bit weird.
The author has something to say:
☆, light and shadow maze
Xiao Hongyue held up a lamp to illuminate the cave, and said, "What is this?" Situ Ning said, "I'm afraid it's a formation." There were stone slabs that were polished as smooth as a mirror everywhere in the cave.As soon as the light from the stone lamp hit it, the reflection dazzled them.The two of them walked past the stone slabs, and saw that the stone slabs were arranged in a seemingly disorderly manner, but they walked for a long time and returned to the original place.Xiao Hongyue said: "It seems that this is a formation, how do we go out?" Situ Ning said: "This formation is still a bit powerful, let's not mess around. Let me think about it."
Situ Ning thought for a while and said: "Sister Yue, pick up some stones. We walked through the gap between two stone slabs, and put a stone in this gap. As long as we walk towards the gap between the stone slabs without stones, we will definitely be able to walk Get out." Following Situ Ning's method, the two of them passed through the maze of light and shadow in a short while.
In front is an exit.The two went out and saw that there was no way ahead.I saw only a small platform protruding from the exit of the stone chamber of the Light and Shadow Maze.In front of the platform is the abyss.Xiao Hongyue asked: "The place we are looking for is not below here." Situ Ning held up the lamp and looked around.Said: "There is no place to go down here. It should not be below." Then she raised the lamp to look forward, and said, "Sister Yue, do you see something on the other side?" Xiao Hongyue also raised the lamp to shine forward .As soon as the two lights shone, the things in front became a little clearer.It is a road that stretches over the abyss.Xiao Hongyue said: "That's the road. It seems that we have to jump over it. But it's at least five feet long, so we can't jump over it at all. What should we do?" Situ Ning was also thinking.
The author has something to say:
☆、Transparent bridge
Suddenly, Situ Ning noticed that a little ashes fell from the stone lamp Xiao Hongyue was holding, and the ashes still had sparks.Xiao Hongyue's lamp is stretched out of the platform, above the abyss.It stands to reason that Mars should have fallen into the abyss.But the Mars fell in mid-air and didn't move.Then after a while, it went out.Situ Ning's eyes widened.
She quickly squatted down and put the lamp she was holding above the position just now.Seeing her strange behavior, Xiao Hongyue also squatted down to look at her.Situ Ning picked up a few sparks from her lamp with something.I saw that those sparks fell to the mid-air and did not move, and then gradually extinguished.Xiao Hongyue also stared wide-eyed in amazement.She said, "Ning'er, what's going on?" Situ Ning frowned and thought about it.Then he took a small stone and threw it lightly at the position just now.I saw that small stone also fell in the air, bounced a few times, and finally stopped.
Situ Ning reached out and touched a cold and smooth surface.She said: "Sister Yue, touch it like me." Xiao Hongyue also touched it like Situ Ning.She felt a cool smooth surface like a rock.She was taken aback.Situ Ning said: "That's right, that's the one. Sister Yue, there seems to be nothing here, but there is actually something. This is a very transparent rock. If I guess right, these transparent rocks lead to On the opposite platform. This is a transparent bridge!" Xiao Hongyue was too shocked to speak.Situ Ning continued: "If it is in broad daylight, this transparent bridge can still be seen differently from the surroundings. But in this dimly lit underground, you can't see it at all. Also, this transparent bridge needs to find out what it has. How wide, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may fall." Xiao Hongyue nodded.
Xiao Hongyue pulled out her sword, and tried left and right. The transparent bridge was only one step wide, just enough for one person to pass through.Situ Ning said: "Sister Yue, be careful, let's go forward." So the two walked onto the transparent bridge.Xiao Hongyue walked in front, testing everything around her with her sword every time she took a step.The two held the lamps and walked on the transparent bridge. Looking at the abyss below, they felt scared.Situ Ning didn't look down, but only looked at Xiao Hongyue's back, and followed her closely, walking forward step by step.
Xiao Hongyue stopped suddenly.Situ Ning asked: "Sister Yue, what's the matter?" Xiao Hongyue said: "There is no way ahead." Situ Ning looked forward.Said: "It's still quite far from the platform in front. It's just half way through here, so there shouldn't be no way. Sister Yue, can you
