Love and Gentle Township: Billionaire Sister

Chapter 17 Heyuan Adventure (6)
What a big hole!The miners have propped up more than [-] meters of low-voltage cables and installed more than a dozen explosion-proof lights, but the dark belly of the cave is still too deep.This uncanny workmanship of nature, the heavenly father and the earth mother's all kinds of good fortune, even if you gallop a hundred thousand pairs of imaginary wings, it is difficult to surpass.The light beams of more than a dozen miner's lamps staggered and flickered, reflecting the cave walls like waterfalls, stone curtains, stalagmites, and dotted beehive-shaped caves in a confusing manner.In order to ensure the effect of the picture, Fan Dayuan had to use the news light of the TV station to illuminate the scene, and Liu Wenying also followed Fan Dayuan's camera to shoot.In Xiahe, Fan Dayuan was recognized as a first-class photographer.

Since entering the cave, each has its own emphasis on division of labor and duties.Li Tiezhu was in front, inspecting the construction quality of the miners wiring and lamps and clearing roadblocks along the road. Meng Gong carried a miner's lamp to track the development of rock faults and cracks on the roof of the cave. They also looked east and west, as if they were looking for something.But it was Qiao Junling and Gaisanxian who had thousands of thoughts and ups and downs. I have heard the story of "Wang Xiao shed sheep and watch chess and become a fairy" more than once since I was a child. Now that I am in the place where this legendary story takes place, I feel a bit like being in a illusory scene.

Walking down a slope of about 150 meters, while hearing the sound of rushing water, you can see a stream as thick as a washbasin rushing and splashing on the left cave wall, scouring an S-shaped curved groove at the bottom of the cave, and then along the Looking at the stone hole in the right cave wall, he whimpered and went away.The old man Gai told everyone that the elders called this cave spring "One Step Stream", and the water potential is much smaller than before.During the drought resistance in the 70s, pipes were laid here to pump water and seeds were planted in drought resistance.Going further inside, no one dared to go in because of the poison gas bombs released by the Japanese during the [-] mass raid.

Secretary Qiao recalled that when he was in Luocun Middle School, he had heard from Mr. Wang that the Japanese devils had caused many tragedies in this mountainous area, and the exact location was unknown because none of the parties involved survived.Thinking of these vague past events, I told Mayor Lu: "When the meeting is held again, we must carefully arrange it and instruct the History and Records Office to assign special personnel to rescue and organize it. There are many treasures of anti-Japanese war historical materials in the Sanxianao area, and tourism development must be highlighted at the same time. The theme of patriotism base construction, strives to form a momentum to support the moon with Xibaipo's red tourism."

Mayor Lu said: "This is the best development idea. Xibaipo is the best slope in the world, and we in Xiahe City strive to develop the first hole in the world."

After walking for more than 100 meters, the karst cave that was bending over and snaking suddenly turned into a hall that can accommodate hundreds of people.I don't know if it's the stream from "One Step Stream", but at this moment it emerges from the bottom of the cave again, forming a two-meter-wide clear water stream on the bare stone slab in the cave hall, and the chest-high height of the stream is two feet tall. A stone arch bridge about three meters wide is supported by a turtle-shaped boulder.Qiao Junshan said in a very positive tone: "This is the Juxian Bridge that the old people said. Wang Xiaoguan became an immortal in chess, so it should be this place."

After hearing this, Li Tiezhu quickly asked the electrician to connect the mobile socket to the power supply.As soon as the twin-pipe news lights of the TV station came on, everyone stepped on the natural steps to the bridge to look for the imprint of the fairy.Strange to say, there is actually a stone pier and a stone table on the bridge, and the imprint of the chessboard on the stone table and the Chu River and Han boundary can be vaguely discerned.Who can tell whether this is the good fortune of heaven or artificial penetration?

Even if it is artificially pierced and attached, it has been passed down for a long time, and it has become a historical legend.After visiting all the places of interest in ancient and modern China and abroad, which one is not the crystallization of artificial construction?It is these artificial constructions from generation to generation that carry the thousands of mouths of human history.Popular word of mouth, spread is also a kind of wordless history books.

The old man Gai Sihai was digging and searching on the fairy table with his hands, and insisted: "There is nothing wrong with it, this is the chessboard table where the immortals play chess. The old man brought me in when I was young, and I remember there are immortal characters. At that time, there was a crack in the sky that was bright in each of the things. After the little devil came, my father led someone to block up the bright crack in the sky. It was to prevent the devil from searching the mountains and destroying the caves, but in the end it didn’t prevent the dog’s poisonous gas bombs. .”

"Oh, Dad! Sure enough, there are immortal characters." Gai Sanxian's eyes suddenly lit up, he took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket, and wiped away the dust along the place where his father's fingers were picking like iron claws. A line of regular script was engraved on each side of the chessboard, Fan Dayuan casually read the poem: "It takes half a day to shepherd the sheep outside the gate, and it takes more than a thousand years to play chess in the cave."

"It's really a fairy cave, a wonder of the past and present." Everyone was amazed at the new discovery on the Juxian Bridge, and sighed endlessly.

The reporter's video camera and camera were naturally busy, the spotlight flashed, and the sound of exclamation was endless.Although Meng Gong is a researcher at the Institute of Geography, he is also very impressed by this cultural landscape. To say that the ones who feel the deepest are Secretary Qiao and Mayor Lu.Mayor Lu was born, raised, and studied in a big city on the plains. He has been working in the deep mountainous area of ​​Xiahe for less than a year, and he is very curious about the strange peaks and caves in this mountain.And the reason why Secretary Qiao was so impressed was that he himself was born and raised in the mountains, and he had only heard of legends that were told as stories, and he had never bothered to think about the development value of this fairy cave.If Qiao Junshan and Gaisan County hadn't gathered together, this treasure land would have been asleep for many years.

After crossing the Juxian Bridge, you will be faced with a huge cylindrical stone wall, more than 20 meters high, and the light beam of the news light can barely extend to the top of the column, giving people the feeling of a pillar supporting the sky.

Sneak left and right along the cylindrical stone wall, with dark caves on both sides.The caving team came to the Y-shaped fork.Boss Li Tiezhu asked the secretary and the mayor for instructions: "Which way to go first? This sage cave has a hole in the cave. If you don't go well, you will get lost."

Secretary Qiao Junling found the direction of the arrow drawn with white chalk on the wall of the stone pillar, and said: "According to the rules on the ancient stage, the generals enter the stage. Let's enter from the left first. There are marks on this side, which seem to be left by cavers earlier. road sign."

Mr. Li directed the miners to move forward from the left hole with the miner's lamps, and went to wire and lamps.At this moment, Liu Wenying tapped Fan Dayuan's shoulder, and screamed as if she had discovered a new world: "There are murals on the stone wall!"

The paused news light came on again.Everyone followed the stone wall pointed by Liu Wenying, and it really was a huge natural mural.Among the lofty mountains, the Great Wall leaps like a giant dragon, sometimes diving down to the bottom of the valley, and sometimes jumping to the top of the peak.At the bottom of the mountains and rivers, there is a magnificent picture of shining scales flowing into the sea, and on the other side of the huge waves, there is a round of red sun gushing out.

"It's a masterpiece of heavenly work with a lot of majesty and pride." Fan Dayuan marveled, while pressing the shutter of the camera repeatedly, and took pictures of this masterpiece of heaven, earth and mother with different camera positions and scenes.

When the camera and the camera had taken enough pictures, Meng Gongcai approached and touched it with his hands, and introduced to everyone: "This is called a thousand-year-old water-eroded karst mural. The rock formations that glow like huge waves below are either quartz stones or crystal stones. These eight The grade of quartz sand deposits around the Holy Mountain is not low."

Mayor Lu said: "God bless, there are really considerable reserves of quartz mines, and our chemical industry in Xiahe City has great prospects for development."

This natural mural, which was casually named by Fan Dayuan as "The River and Mountains Are Delicate and Magnificent", is just in line with Juxian Bridge, occupying the central hall.Walking left along the columnar stone wall, everyone searched all the way, and found "Mu Wang hunting", "Battle of Banquan", "Zhaojun going out of the fortress", "Fire warship", "Humen selling cigarettes", "Yan'an pagoda". "...Dozens of lava murals with both historical and practical significance, if you look for them carefully and add details, you can even find "Millions of Heroes Crossing the Great River", "Hundred Regiment Wars" and even "Founding Ceremony" After all, some of them need to be carved and modified manually, but nature has created the basic composition outline after all.

With so many landscapes to discover, the cavers were in high spirits.Only the old man Gai was depressed for some reason, his sharp eyes were like a falcon chasing a rabbit, looking for something thoughtfully.

Secretary Qiao and Mayor Lu were even more delighted, and repeatedly told Fan Dayuan and Liu Wenying: "Hurry up and sort out the materials you took. We need to print a brochure and make a TV feature film."

The cameras of Fan Dayuan and Liu Wenying also showed their abilities, and they must take pictures whenever there is a scene.Thanks to digital cameras now, otherwise I don't know how much film to buy.Fan Dayuan is obviously both a technical authority and an art director, and everyone obeys his assignments.Fan Dayuan said: "As far as the landscape of stone pillar murals is concerned, with a little artificial carving and supplemented by lighting and sound, a natural lava mural Chinese history museum can be built."

Whether it is the leader or the general staff, everyone agreed unanimously and said: "Mr. Fan has a good opinion."

After walking more than 160 meters along the murals of the stone pillars, the cave suddenly opened up again, which seemed to be another heaven than when we came down from Juxian Bridge.

When going up and down the Juxian Bridge, there are two openings on the left and right, but now, except for the opening parallel to the stone pillar, there are three openings in the middle of the high, middle, and low walls in a wide and smooth stone wall.And as the cliffs and rocks stretch straight up, the cracks become deeper and farther away, making it difficult to see through.

Professor Meng Fan told everyone that this is the largest fissure in Taihang, which was formed when the crustal movement of the Taihang Mountains broke up [-] million years ago.Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard it, and they clicked their tongues again and again.What kind of divine power can break this huge rock formation and then bulge like a bent steel bar?The all-encompassing creation of nature is really incredible.

Fan Dayuan was still immersed in the whimsical ideas of the lava murals he just photographed, and Liu Wenying also insisted on following the column-shaped corridors, and wanted to find out more beautiful and vivid murals.So Mr. Li led the miners to still explore the road ahead, wiring and installing lights.The rest of the staff work step by step and perform their duties. "Shenzhou Flying to the Sky", "Chang'e Flying to the Moon", "Thousands of Water and Thousand Mountains", "Zheng He Sailing"... Various styles of lava murals have been found one after another.When they found the bright light and thought they had found the exit of the cave, they suddenly realized that they had turned around for a long time and returned to the original place at the lower entrance of Juxian Bridge.More than two hours have passed, and the cavers are circling a huge cylinder.Professor Meng Fan told everyone that the cylinder where the lava murals were discovered is called a collapsed column in geological tectonics.Similar phenomena are occasionally encountered in other stratigraphic formations, such as coal mining.

"It's so convincing." Mr. Li also proved it with his personal experience in dry coal mines, "Coal mining in collapsed pillars is a major research topic in coal mines."

In the belly of the mountain, there is actually a maze-like natural structure.This made everyone interested and excited.Now that they have turned around and returned to the original place, Gaisanxian suggested that everyone take a break and give each of them a bottle of mineral water to discuss the next step of the exploration route after drinking the water.

38.bones

After a short rest, the caving team came to the big cliff with three caves exposed under the big crack.The highest of the three cave entrances is tens of meters above the cliff, and it is impossible to go up without ladders and plank roads; the lowest one has a steep slope and a narrow road all the way down, and a few miner's lamps are used to search downwards, not only can you see the deposits Layers and silt, and the faint sound of water can be heard.As far as the current preparations are concerned, the best way is to climb a few steps from the cliff and continue to explore through the middle hole.The old man Gai, who had been twisting the jade mouthpiece brass smoke pot to inhale stuffy cigarettes, finally spoke. He said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I finally remembered. Grandpa told me that the three holes at the height of the cave entrance It is called Tianmen, the lower one is called Dimen, and the one in the middle is called Renmen. The one where the big guy turned around and came back just now is called Mopan Cave. That’s right, I’m afraid the only way to enter the cave is through the Renmen. oh."

Everyone agreed with the old man's proposition.

Li Tiezhu said: "Let's go! Wiring the lighting first, measuring the wind speed and gas, and then the leaders will go up."

A few miners carried spools and miner's lamps, and hurriedly stepped on the ridge to pave the rocks, and they all went up in a blink of an eye.Although Mr. Li is over sixty years old, because he has worked in the mines for decades, he has iron legs and copper claws, and he is still extremely agile when climbing rocks and drilling holes.Although the party secretary of Qiao Junshan is hunched over, it is justified to climb the rock and climb Kanyi Mountain.It was the group of young people from the municipal government who liked to travel to the mountains and see the scenery, who showed difficulty and powerlessness.The most praised by everyone is the old man Gai. With his body and bones in his rare years, he can climb rocks and drill holes without any effort.Originally, Gai Sanxian wanted to help the old man climb the ridge and enter the cave, but the old man shook his head like a rattle: "Dad is a porcelain vase? Are you afraid of hitting me?" As a result, the old man climbed up easily and turned around instead. He pulled his daughter again.

The father and daughter were the last to enter the cave.The miners have pulled apart the cables, and the proficiency in wiring and closing is as good as putting on their own clothes with their eyes closed.After the plug was plugged in and the double-pipe news lights turned on, people were surprised to find that the "Human Gate" was not an ordinary cave, but a circular vaulted hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.The stone curtains on the walls of the surrounding caves are like waterfalls and curtains, and the strange stalactites stream light and silver on the "umbrella"-shaped cave roof.The center of the cave roof is in the shape of a trumpet mouth, which immediately reminds people of the place where Nuwa mended the sky.The bottom of the cave is a natural crystal stone rock formation, which is extremely flat.Meng Gong said: "If the crystal floor is polished, it will be so bright that people can be seen. Decorate with lighting and sound, it will be warm in winter and cool in summer. It will be a good natural dance hall."

Mayor Lu told Zhang Shuai, Director of the Tourism Bureau: "I really didn't expect that there are so many treasures in the Dragon Palace in the Sage Cave. We must fully develop the tourism industry in Xiahe City, and strive to play a trump card that is at least in northern China."

The old man Gai didn't participate in the discussion and discussion of everyone's tourism development, but just circled around the hall to search for it very carefully. There are two huge stones squatting on both sides of the "human"-shaped cave entrance. Looking out from the cave, the backs of the two giant stones look like a lion on the left and a tiger on the right guarding the "human gate" at the entrance of the cave.

Because of the need to shoot a feature film on the tourism development of the cave, the camera reporter carefully took pictures of the sceneries in the cave section by section.When the light beam of the news light moved to the entrance of the cave to photograph the "lion" and "tiger" guarding the cave hall, Liu Wenying suddenly screamed: "Ah! Bones."

Hearing the sound, the one who reacted the fastest was Old Man Gai.After a few steps, she immediately comforted Liu Wenying and said, "Girl, don't be afraid! People will turn into bones sooner or later! Let me take a look." Then he bent down and squatted down, carefully picking up the bones.

The white bones found behind the "Tiger" stone, judging from the skeleton, was undoubtedly a tall and strong man in his lifetime. Judging from the appearance, it seems that he fell down while supporting the back of the "Tiger" stone.

At this moment, everyone also heard the sound and gathered around to watch the old man gather the bones.When the lumbar spine above the pelvis is cleaned up, a jade cigarette holder and a brass smoke pot are turned out.Suddenly, the old man’s hands trembled and he knelt down on the ground, crying like a child: “Dad, it’s been so hard to find my son! For 65 years, the Japanese devils have poisoned their consciences…”

Seeing his father's grief, Gai Sanxian was startled at first, then knelt down with his father, tears streaming down his face, and asked in a sobbing voice, "Father, is this really grandpa's bone dust?"

Qiao Junling and Qiao Junshan brothers also squeezed into the crowd, and asked urgently at the same time: "Uncle Sihai, is this really Qingshan Lord's bone dust?"

The old man Gai stopped crying, turned his hands and took off his jacket, took out a small cigarette pouch with a wooden stem and a brass pot with a jade mouth, compared it with the one he picked up in the bone dust, and said: "There can be mistakes. See what you see Can talk! My grandfather hurriedly bought two pairs of jade mouthpieces and two sets of brass smoke pots from a shop in Pingyao, Ningxi. My father’s set of cigarette holders has cracks and a red copper welding hoop on the smoke pot. The poisonous gas of the Japanese devils can suffocate people to death, but jade cigarette holders and brass smoke pots will not rot for 100 years."

Everyone was moved after hearing the ironclad testimonials of the old man Gai.Gaisan County also helped Dad pick up the bones of Grandpa and wrapped them in jackets.Fan Dayuan seized the opportunity to record these details with the camera. Based on his senior reporter's intuition, he felt that a tear-jerking masterpiece must have been prepared in his chest.

After all, Secretary Qiao Junling had worked in the army and the localities for many years, so he would naturally think more about this situation: since it is the remains of Lord Qingshan, and he died for the Anti-Japanese War, there should be corresponding evidence.After the bones were collected, I searched carefully around with the news light on, and sure enough, I found a rusty shell gun in the gap between the "Tiger" stone and the cave wall.

This is a wooden-handled shell gun that was common in the 40s. The wooden handle has rotted, and although the other parts are rusty, they are still complete, except that there is no bullet.Qiao Junling, who was born in the army, recognized at a glance that it was a side weapon commonly used by local guerrillas during the Anti-Japanese War.Let secretary Liang Hao take it back and hand it over to the city museum for preservation, saying that it is already an extremely precious revolutionary cultural relic.

Everyone turned on the news light and looked around carefully, but found no other evidence, and concluded from a preliminary analysis that it was the old man Gai Qingshan who dealt with the enemy alone to the end.

The old man Gai hugged his father's remains, and he was still crying: "Father, I only know that the Japanese devils put poison gas in the cave, but I don't know that you are in the cave! Just because the remains were not found, the 'Cultural Revolution' The rebels also posted big-character posters saying that we treasoned the country and turned to the enemy, and let Zhongliang, who was loyal to the country, bear the blame for many years. God has eyes, let you return the bones of your old man today, and in heaven, Zhongliang who protects the country should have one It's a clean end..."
