Chapter 83 The Mysterious Object on the Stone Wall
After a period of rest and some treatments Shi Tao had done to me, I felt better. The sharp pain just now gradually moved closer to the numb feeling. I didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but at least I can stand up by myself now.
I raised the flashlight and shone it around, "Uncle II, did you just say that the inside was built by man?"
Uncle Er nodded and pointed to the ground, "Look at the ground, it is very flat, obviously it has been man-made, otherwise," Uncle Er said and looked at me, "If the ground here is as uneven as the crack above, the moment you fell just now, it will be broken even if you don't die!"
I touched my back with lingering fear. I just fell down from the ground. If there were protruding rocks on the ground just now, either hurting the spine or the back of the head. If that were the case, I would be in danger!
I used a flashlight to scan around, "Uncle II, where is this place?"
The second uncle was also a little confused, "I don't know, but it looks like a corridor."
"The corridor?" I was a little surprised, "Uncle Second, is this an underground tomb?"
"I don't think this is not possible!" Uncle Er touched the wall of the corridor with his hand, "But looking at the workmanship, it is very likely that the passage leading to the royal city. Let's continue, maybe the answer is in front."
Kong Xue looked at both sides of the corridor, "But in which direction should we go?"
This is indeed a problem, but Uncle Second touched the stone wall, looked at his palm again, then closed his eyes and thought for a while, finally opened his eyes and pointed in one direction, saying, "Go here!" After that, Uncle Second took the lead in which direction he walked towards.
We quickly followed our second uncle. To be honest, I was still a little worried. After all, it was because we were trapped in the depths of the black tower a few days ago because we followed our second uncle's judgment. That experience caused us too much impact and left us too deep impression.
I couldn't help but ask my second uncle, "Uncle II, how did you realize you should go here? Don't tell me that you are counting on your fingers!"
The second uncle glanced at me and said, "Fuck me, I'm throwing my shoes to show you the way!"
"Then how did you figure out you should go in this direction?" I continued.
Uncle II looked at me, "Does such a simple question still need explanation?"
"My nephew is stupid, you should explain!"
The second uncle snorted, "Oh, I can't teach you! When we get from that well, the corridor in front of us should be from north to south, at least this section in front of us is like this."
"Damn!" Uncle Er was extremely surprised. I couldn't help but scream, "Uncle Er, from above to here, it's a 20% turn, especially the crack from top to bottom just now. You turned many times in the middle. You can still remember the direction you are facing at this time! This is so amazing!"
The second uncle smiled slightly, "Big nephew, there are many things you need to learn here! In this case, it can be judged by two methods. The first is that it has a strong sense of direction, and every change in direction can be clearly reflected in your mind!"
After hearing the second uncle's words, the three of us looked at the second uncle and admired him, "Uncle II, what about the second method?"
Uncle Er continued, "This is the second way, through this." As Uncle Er stretched out his palm, and I suddenly saw something like a small pocket watch lying in Uncle Er's palm. "The second way is to look at the compass!"
I'll go! I once again had the ruthless idea of beating the elders! Kong Xue also showed a look of contempt.
The second uncle laughed, "I just think you are too nervous, let's relax by making a joke with you! Actually, I didn't rely on the compass either."
"Then what are you relying on?"
The second uncle looked at me, "As long as we find the underground river and walk along it, we will definitely be able to reach the royal city."
I said, "Uncle Second, you teased us again! I can indeed hear the sound of water, but there is reverb in this place, and I can't tell the direction of the sound of water. How did you judge it?"
Uncle Er pointed to the stone wall next to it, "This is experience. The infiltration and evaporation of water in the underground river will inevitably have a certain impact on the rock layer. Therefore, as long as the veins and directions are on the rock, you can judge which direction the water vapor comes from."
After hearing the second uncle's words, not only me, but also Shi Tao and Kong Xue nodded with conscience.
With the second uncle's explanation, I felt much more at ease now.
As we moved forward, I felt the sound of the water flowing louder and louder, which shows that the direction of the second uncle's judgment is fine.
Soon we reached the end of the corridor, went out from the end, turned two turns, and suddenly a larger space appeared in front of us.
I once thought that the passage to the royal city was like a narrow tunnel, but I never expected that this passage would be huge.
And here we finally saw the legendary Tuya Dark River, or rather, it should be one of the Tuya Dark Rivers.
The flow of the underground river is not as large as we imagined. It cannot be said that the water flows rapidly. At this time, it is winding forward calmly along one side of this space.
The place has also been artificially transformed and repaired. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but wonder, did the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom rebuilt the underground river channel? What a huge project for people thousands of years ago!
While sighing at the power and wisdom of the ancients, I continued to move along the river. After walking for a while, we gradually found a lot of rock fragments on the ground, as if they were residues built by someone.
However, we did not see any traces of the project nearby. We noticed that the closer we were to the stone wall, the more gravel there was, which means that the gravel should have been dug from the stone wall.
We shone up along the stone wall, and then we found that there were some artificial caves above the stone wall. These caves were not deep, and some had not even been built.
This makes us very puzzled, why did people in those days dig such caves on the stone walls?
With these questions in mind, we continued to move forward. Suddenly, Kong Xue pointed to the cave on the stone wall in front and shouted, "Look! There is something in there!"
We hurried over and followed the direction Kong Xue pointed, and we looked up. Sure enough, there was a black thing in the cave above the stone wall. It was just that the cave was relatively high, the flashlight was insufficient, and the astigmatism was strong, so we couldn't see clearly what it was, but I felt that the black shadow looked familiar, as if it was a person!
