Chapter 33 Chapter 33: The Truth About the Mountain

The ghost led us out of the cave without even lighting a torch, and we walked up the huge rock. The fat man put on his clothes, and the neckline was covered in mud.He was tired of cursing, and gestured to me several times, asking if I wanted to subdue him, and I shook my head.The agility of this ghost walking, and the kind of demeanor that kept a distance from us, gave me a very strong feeling-even if he looks like this, his skills must be better than ours. Just imagine, this person has stayed in the mountains for such a long time, and he is obviously vigilant about everything in the world. It is impossible to relax all vigilance when seeing an old friend.Don't look at him walking nonchalantly, he must be very vigilant, if the fat man wants to make trouble, I don't think the probability of success is high.

It is impossible for me to talk to the fat man, so I can only ignore him and tell him what happened at that time. The fat man said: "Damn, fat man, I was tied very tight, how did he break free? I don't think that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Is your face okay?" "Maybe he had a knife on him," I said. "It was a mistake that we didn't search him. There was too much time." "It's a shrunken bone." Ghosting turned around and said, he was far away from us, but he clearly heard it clearly, "Wu Sansheng, you don't even know this, do you?"

My heart moved, and I knew that I couldn't talk nonsense anymore, so I immediately said stiffly: "No, I was on guard, it's not shrinking bones." The ghost didn't speak any more, so I made a gesture to the fat man not to say anything privately.After walking for more than ten minutes, a concave hole in the rock appeared. When we walked into the hollow, we saw that the hollow was full of clay pots. The ghost picked up a branch from the side, stretched it into one of the pots, lit it, and picked up the other side filled with water. Cans, kept splashing on the wall. I probably knew what he wanted to do, and I immediately came to help.Soon the water seeped into the rocks.

As soon as the lit branches leaned against the wall of the rock, we immediately found that there were strange shadows all over the rock. After the entire rock wall is soaked in water, it presents a translucent texture, like jade. "These are those people in the stone." The fat man said, "Damn it, there are so many of them, it's still worth it if they are released." "Do you know how many of these things are in this stone? Do you know the true origin of these things?" Ghost asked the fat man. The fat man shook his head: "Isn't this the mountain god here?"

The ghost shook his head and looked at me. I didn't show whether I knew or not, but just touched the rock wall and looked thoughtful. "These are people," he said. "It starts with how this monster building was built. Back then we did archaeological research on this building and made several speculations." He said, "We believe that there are a large number of underground cave systems in this area of ​​Guangxi. , the ancient building of the Zhang family probably used one of the karst cave systems to develop a relatively deep dark cave in the entire underground mountain range. But then we conducted various explorations on the mountain here and found that the dark cave system here is too complicated , With the architectural scale of the style mine map, too much manpower and material resources are needed to build such a huge building in the cave."

I thought in my heart that it was true, he was a member of the archaeological team, it seems that my guess is not far from the ten. "In the beginning, they thought that this would not work. This is just the tomb of a famous Zhang family's ancient buildings, not the imperial tomb. It's not about financial resources, because it's really hard to estimate how much money this kind of tomb-robbing family has. It is mainly a matter of convenience. As long as you are not the emperor, it is very difficult to carry out such a huge project secretly in that kind of world. "But after they explored in the mountains, they discovered a problem that surprised them-the vegetation on the mountains here is very strange.

"Especially the vegetation near Yangjiao Mountain is different from other places, especially the types of trees. The trees in that place are all very good wood." When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, and I already understood what he meant.I said: "I heard that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a big fire near Yangjiao Mountain." "Yes." Ghost said coldly, "This is what they planned long ago." The ancestors of the Zhang family's ancient building planned to bury the Zhang family in this mountain as early as the Ming Dynasty, so they burned the forest here in the Ming Dynasty and planted wood that can be used thousands of years later.

What kind of spirit is this?How terrible is the family that will carry out a hundred-year plan? "After the wood was planted, after nearly a thousand years of growth, it has grown into an entire mountain forest near Yangjiao Mountain. After the craftsmen come in, they can use local materials. You will find that there are a lot of shrubs here, because they cut down trees. Be very careful, cutting evenly from tree to tree. "But even if all the wood can be obtained locally, it is almost an impossible task to transport it into the underground cave. Because such a large-scale building requires a whole wooden beam, this huge wood is not It may pass through such a thin cave. Of course, the best way is to have an underground river, so that if you throw the wood into the water, it can flow into the cave, but such conditions are unattainable. They are everywhere here Looking for underground water systems, but the terrain here is too high, it is the highest place in the mountains of Guangxi, and it is impossible to find underground rivers."

"You can never imagine how the Zhang family transported these timbers down." Gui Ying said, "Just under this rock, there is a vertical deep hole, which is almost vertically drilled from the top to the bottom." "Cave stealing skills." I said. Ghosting nodded: "The work of the gods. The question is how the hole was dug. Even if there were a lot of people, it would take many, many years to dig such a hole in that era. "All the wood was hung from this cave to the underground cave. Moreover, they also found a lot of strange iron tools in the crevices of the mountain here. These iron tools are like a very long spoon, and they are like a very long spoon, and they are very long. Rainwater is introduced into these gaps. We think this is to accelerate the dissolution of the cave inside the mountain. This is also a measure that was arranged in the Ming Dynasty. We also found the same traces of iron near the entrance of the cave. You know what it means ?"

I shook my head, and he said: "This hole was washed out by thousands of years of rain. They set up a copper ball at the entrance of the hole and made a mechanism. After knocking off the rocks on the surface, the inside is full of easily soluble limestone. The copper ball It is very heavy. When the rainwater is concentrated and washed in this hole by these organs, the rock below will decompose and become brittle, and the weight of the copper ball itself will crush the whole stone. For nearly a thousand years, the copper ball has been continuously sinking, and finally penetrated the dome."

When you want to dig a hole in a certain mountain, and you have nearly a thousand years, many things are actually easy for you. I listen, the chill on my body is getting worse, is this possible?My first feeling was that it was too mysterious, but the knowledge in my head told me that it was absolutely possible, and it didn't even take that long.If the water is flowing steadily and contains a certain chemical, it may only take a few years to drip through a stone.This is also the reason why landslides occur frequently in many places. I just woke up under a mudslide slope.There is a lot of vegetation there, and it is reasonable that the mudslides would not have such a large scale, obviously because there are many cracks in the rocks there, and this premise is valid. And the most terrifying thing is, why would anyone have such an idea? What we want to know is, what kind of people are they?What kind of life did they lead?What is the purpose of making such a terrible design? "I believe they will not just look for such a place, because there have been too many changes in the past thousand years, this place may be one of the places they chose." Ghosting said, "In Guangxi, such a place There are not many. However, those who can escape the development of tourism and various industries in the end will still be a barren land in a few years, and it is likely only the hinterland of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.” "Have you demonstrated all this?" I asked, because there are many things that cannot be speculated on. The ghost only said: "No need, you will believe me after listening to me." "Basically all our judgments can be reduced to facts, but when this explanation reaches here, there is a big problem." Ghosting patted the rock beside him, "That is, how did this mountain turn back?" What happened? We did a lot of research on these rocks, and soon discovered a very terrible truth, and then we discovered the truth of this whole mountain." He said, "Now you look at it, I want to show you Take a look, what is this mountain? Why do I say that they will surely die if they enter the building?"
