the last priest

Chapter 40: True Face

Cha Wenbin glanced at the lines again, and shouted towards the top: "It's okay, keep playing. ╞ Chinese? ╡" Chaozi on the top responded, and the two began to cooperate again, playing very slowly. As the depth gradually deepened, Cha Wenbin's figure gradually became unclear, and after a while, there were only two lights left from the spotlight above his head.

At the beginning, it stopped every five meters. Cha Wenbin pulled the rope hard once, which means it is safe and can continue to let it go. Pulling twice means that it needs to stop. Pulling three times means that it has been agreed before. If it is Constant shaking of the rope means that he is in danger underground and needs to be pulled up quickly.As it gets deeper and deeper, the distance between hyperon pauses becomes shorter and shorter, and it gradually evolves into a signal that needs to be checked every meter.

And what about Cha Wenbin below?What did he find in the well again?What kind of world is under the ancient well? We need to adjust our sight.

It is said that Zha Wenbin started to pay attention to the walls of the ancient well after passing through the lines at the beginning. The depth began to decrease gradually. At one point, the lower the depth, the stronger the airflow from bottom to top. At a depth of about 50 meters, the wind force could already blow the Qiankun bag hanging on the chest. The fresh air was so many times better than the air outside. When he inhaled it, there was a hint of sweetness on the tip of his tongue soon, which made Cha Wenbin relax his tense body a little. Bitter, sour and smelly are regarded as dangerous signals, and sweet and fragrant are regarded as safe.

One thing that has not changed from the beginning to the end is that his eyes have not left the well wall for half a step. There are obvious man-made chisel marks on the ancient rocks. With a little effort, he can restore the labor of digging this ancient well at that time. In the scene, every three meters or so, there are some mural-like but very simple patterns composed of lines. The most are some fish, birds and trees. Occasionally, one or two human-shaped patterns flash past, leaving an impression on Cha Wenbin. The deepest one is a person with huge eyes and huge ears. Because these lines are very rough, Cha Wenbin only needs to watch them for a while and remember them in his heart.

After about 100 meters, Cha Wenbin suddenly discovered a secret. This ancient well was originally dug by hand. Although the traces left behind were eroded by years, they were still clearly visible. After [-] meters, the direction of digging on the well wall began to change. .

At the beginning, the direction of digging this ancient well was from top to bottom, and all the chisel marks were thick at the top and sharp at the bottom. will leave such traces.

After 100 meters, Cha Wenbin found that the excavation traces became sharp at the top and thick at the bottom. This change in the excavation traces almost occurred on an obvious separation zone. What does this mean?Could it be that when the ancient well was drilled back then, the soldiers were divided into two groups, some of them drilled down from the ground of the village, and some of them drilled from the bottom up hundreds of meters underground?Leaving aside how those people entered the underground, the flow of air proves that there should be a space leading to the outside world, but they didn't find it; but to ensure that an ancient well runs through almost vertical lines, it is better to pass through from both ends. Hit the middle, I'm afraid this can't be done in the modern society of geological exploration and blueprint design!

It’s very simple, when a person stands blindfolded on the roof of a [-]-meter-high building, how can you make your partner who is also blindfolded stand in the basement below the floor, and let your partner form a line with you, And make this line perpendicular to the ground!This experiment tells us that in ancient times without measuring instruments and three-dimensional mapping, it is almost impossible to complete such a project!

While Cha Wenbin was shocked by such a project, the murals on the walls gradually began to change. The original patterns of birds and fish had disappeared, and a new pattern appeared: bugs; As the leaves change, almost from gouges, the patterns shift.

Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong who stayed by the ancient well could no longer see the light. As Cha Wenbin got deeper and deeper, what was left for them was no other information except the heavy rope in their hands.Fortunately, their communication still exists every meter, but the pulling feeling from the rope is getting weaker and weaker, and it is almost impossible to feel it at the back. The pulling force of a person under a hundred meters has long been long The ropes spread their forces along the way, which they had never thought of beforehand!

Chaozi looked at the scale drawn by the rope in his hand, and calculated that Cha Wenbin had gone down the well at a depth of about 200 meters. With that carefulness, he could still faintly feel the signal from below on his palm. The people only focused on the rope in their hands, at this moment none of them noticed that shocking changes had begun to take place around them!

Zhuo Xiong is an old smoker. It has been two hours since Cha Wenbin went down the well. Before he had time to take a puff of cigarettes, he was already addicted to cigarettes. , can't wait to take out two crumpled cigarettes from his pocket and light them: "Chaozi, I'll light all the cigarettes for you, go on."

He Yichao looked back, hey, that kid's forehead has started to smoke at this moment, thinking that you kid will really make a fuss, but your nerves have been tense all morning, so you need a cigarette to relax Right, the moment he turned his head to pick up the cigarette, he suddenly became unresponsive and stood there blankly.The cigarette in Zhuo Xiong's mouth was almost burnt to the butt, and He Yichao was still there motionless, staring at Zhuo Xiong's head without blinking his eyes, making Zhuo Xiong look a little embarrassed: "Chaozi, I said, what are you doing staring at me all the time? Why are you in a daze? You didn't take a sip of this cigarette, and you burned it for nothing. Do you think my cigarettes are bad? I think I was a soldier in Tibet back then. At that time, I was still picking up the company commander's cigarette butt to smoke, but you are still picking it up with me now, if you don't smoke it, I will throw it away."

He has a habit of throwing cigarette butts, that is, not ahead of the front, only throwing backward, the cigarette butt was thrown a few meters away by the boy with a "swish", and he turned his head in the same way. He Yichao was still in the same posture, and when he remembered what he saw just now, he turned around suddenly, and Zhuo Xiong exclaimed: "My God, isn't that the Qifeng Mountain that the old man said!"

Not far from the two of them, there is a huge mountain standing in the clouds. The straight mountain looks like a black dragon, rising from the ground, and there are a few white clouds floating on the mountainside. From a distance, there are cranes flying around Among them, it is like the fairy land depicted in the painting!It can be seen that the two people on the ground not only forgot to smoke, but even forgot that there is someone waiting for them to put the rope down the well!

Cha Wenbin at the bottom of the well felt that the rope had stopped suddenly, and he pulled it hard, but there was no response. The first thought that popped into his mind was: "No! Something happened to the well, did it happen? The two boys have been plotted against again!" Thinking that I didn't even listen to any movement, maybe it disappeared for no reason like Lao Wang and the others, thinking that I can't get up or down if I hang on here In the middle of the ancient well, Cha Wenbin stomped his feet anxiously, but the two boys above were watching a spectacle that was rarely seen in a century!

Chaozi looked surprised, and then remembered that Cha Wenbin was still hanging down the well, and quickly woke up Zhuo Xiong, who was as immersed in the beautiful scenery as him, and asked him to let go of the rope, and Cha Wenbin below was already in a hurry. Crazy, I was testing the width of the well by the side of the well, and I was about to climb up by myself!Suddenly the rope began to descend again, and it was still the same as before, so I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two boys stayed there for a long time, and they rested there for a while.

How could He Yichao at the top let go of such a good opportunity to hurt others, tilted his head and shouted: "Blind man, did your father say that Qifeng Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, and there are many miasmas, so there are no poisonous snakes on it!" Isn’t that right? Take a good look, isn’t it a fairyland on earth! Such a good place was insisted by him to be a hell on earth! I see your father, it’s probably because of some bad things you did here back then , was kicked out by the people in the village."

Zhuo Xiong stiffened his neck and did not show any weakness, "Don't talk to that nonsense, my mother and my sister are still on that mountain, if it's what I told you, how could they not find it! If you love bragging, you don't want to make fun of your own wife and children!"

Hey, when Chaozi thought about it, it was really the case. Even if the old man wanted to brag, he wouldn't be able to talk about his wife and children. Then there is only one possibility. What the old man Zhuo said is true. They were hiding in the clouds and mist as they saw for the first time, so what happened today?Is it possible that this mountain god grandfather is so generous, he took off his veil when he saw them coming, and welcomed them into the mountain?
