Chapter 103 Chapter Thirteen

The date of the bottle made me wonder. If the old curator Zha and his group of six brought it in more than 20 years ago and left it in the cave, then the bottle must be easily broken of.What I'm more curious about is what kind of chemical agent will the liquid in the bottle have, and what effect can it have? The most dangerous caves are water caves, which are karst caves with underground water flow in them.The worst case is that the tunnel has no roof, or an inverted siphon.These common caving methods will be useless.I have already made the worst plan in my heart, that is to flow to the ground with the water, and then turn it into a fossil for future research.Just as we were tossing and falling in the water, it seemed that an object had fallen from above, because the current of the water was chaotic, and it was not clear what had fallen, I just hoped that it would not hurt us.This underground cave with a huge vertical drop can at least hold the water volume of a reservoir, and the Owens all have blurred symptoms. This place is as big as a universe.If you just fall straight into the water and fall to the bottom of the cave, you don't know if you will fall to your death. We haven't tried this kind of experience.Falling to death in the water, I wonder if it can be recorded in the Guinness Book of Records?

You must know that foreign cave divers must go through a special search and obtain a certificate of qualification before they can explore water caves.If we knew in advance that this is an intermittent water hole, we would not come in, but think about it. The ancient Wuhu people might have used the intermittent water hole to descend to the bottom here, otherwise how could they come down. Could the "Water from God" be the water from the river outside, or is there an underground family under this mountain?Maybe it was God's favor, we tossed in the water for a while, and the sucking water flow slowed down quickly.By this time we had almost reached the bottom of the cave, and with the light of the flashlight, we immediately opened our eyes wide.There are all tall stalactites here, as huge as the stalactites on the top of the cave. If we really hit it just now, we would not die or be disabled.However, the stalactites here are incomplete, and many of them have been beaten in half, which is man-made at first glance.The reselling of stalactites is not new, but it is banned by the state now, and I see that the broken sections of stalactites have been oxidized and blackened, so it should not be a modern practice.

I remember that there is obviously a rope on the top, isn't that a proof that someone has already descended here?But here are all large stalactites, there is not a flat place, but there are many deep cracks in the stone.The cracks in the stone are very long and deep, and the light of the flashlight can't get in at all. It is estimated that the "water from the gods" is sprayed from here, because I can already feel the water flowing slowly back to these cracks.What surprised me most was that I couldn't find the end of the rope hanging down from the top of the cave.There is no reason, I think Lin Yue and the old curator Zha have some professional knowledge, why did they bring in a rope that is not long enough?If the rope is not long enough, they should be able to see people no matter whether they descend here or not?Although the water flow has slowed down, it will still be sucked into these cracks after staying for a long time, so we hurried upstream.

It was especially hard going upstream, because the cracks were still sucking water in, and it felt like a hand was always pulling at my clothes and not letting me go.I kept paying attention to the position of the end of the rope all the way up the swim, but I still didn't see the retractable end, but saw a familiar face falling upwards.I noticed something falling from the cave just now, but I didn't expect it to be a person, and it was Aunt Yu!We were amazed.It turned out that he was willing to let us leave to find Xiaoyan, in order to secretly follow.What a stubborn woman.The women in the village are all so stubborn and strong, and my mother was also like that back then.Unable to speak in the water, Aunt Yu landed close to us and motioned us to follow with her hands.Originally we planned to float up too, so we followed without thinking too much.Aunt Yu, who grew up by the big river, is very good at swimming. Although the current sucks, she swims so fast that we two big men can hardly catch up.

Suddenly, Aunt Yu stopped, and he was suspended in the water, waiting for us to catch up.This is just the middle part of the cave, and I just saw the end of the rope here. It turns out that the rope is gone only here.When the rope leaned against the stone wall, another small cave branched in, and Aunt Yu signaled us to swim in with her.At first, I thought that Aunt Yu seemed to know something, so it's not surprising that she gave us directions now.I also suddenly realized that the rope is not long enough, but just long enough. The owner of the rope is not going to go down to the bottom, but the destination is on the stone wall in the middle.

The water flow started to accelerate back again, and we hurriedly hid in one by one.After Aunt Yu went in, Xinhong followed me in, and I finally burrowed in hard. I didn't expect that just after I got in, the water would suck back violently. Fortunately, Xinhong held me vigilantly, otherwise he would have been caught. sucked out.Due to the large amount of water, the water flow sucked back for several minutes without ending.Aunt Yu and Xinhong held me desperately, while their other hands tightly grasped the protruding stone of the cave.The stones in the water cave are easily formed into sharp blade shapes after dissolution, and many inexperienced people have been scratched by the stone flakes.At this time, in order to hold me, they didn't have time to decide which stone to grab to stabilize the position.Unfortunately, they all caught sharp stone flakes and their hands were bleeding bright red because they were not wearing protective gear.

The rapid sucking water sucked their blood away from my face, thinking that after all they did this to save me, a sour feeling immediately lingered in my heart. "Water from God" reappeared the original kamikaze, and with a swish, the water immediately slid down to the bottom of the cave, so fast that I didn't even realize it.As the surface of the water glides quickly, my lungs tingle and I almost suffocate.In medicine, there is a saying of self-drowning without water, one of which is due to rapid changes in water flow and water temperature.It took me a long time before I regained my sanity. The change in pressure was so fast that there were so many changes in ten minutes.

"How are your hands, please apply some medicine!" I said anxiously. "It's okay, besides, we don't know where our bags were washed by the current, and where did we get the medicine!" Xinhong said indifferently. "Aunt Yu, are you alright, your hand..." I asked shyly. "It's okay. Go find someone, the person you are looking for may also be in this place." Aunt Yu answered me meaningfully. "It's not good for you to come in like this. If something happens, we won't be able to handle it." I said melancholy. Although she also tried her best to hold me back just now, she had to say what she wanted to say in advance.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine!" Aunt Yu said confidently, and then walked along the cave. "Xinhong, look..." I asked him for his opinion, because it is inconvenient to bring a woman with him. "Forget it, are you going to ask her to grab the rope and climb up? If she falls, wouldn't it be worse?" It seems that Xinhong thought more comprehensively than I did. I had no choice but to walk down with Aunt Yu, hoping she could help.The cave has returned to its previous form, and has become the shape of the intestinal cavity. Although three or four people can walk side by side casually, it is nothing compared to the huge vertical cave outside.The caves outside are comparable to the Tiankeng in Leye County, Baise, Guangxi.Now that I think about it, I still have lingering fears, and the place was filled with water just now. I am afraid that this is the only chance to see the sinkhole-like cave in the water.Before coming here, we have also read many books about the topography of Guangxi, and we already know a little about them. "Tiankeng" is a unique geological landscape of karst terrain - karst cave, which is a rare geological wonder in the world. It was formed 65 million years ago and is shaped like a huge funnel. It has a very high value of tourism and exploration. sightseeing value.It was first discovered in Fengjie County, Chongqing in my country.

The Leye Tiankeng Group was discovered by experts in karst geology from the Ministry of Land and Resources and cave experts from the Geological Society of China. It is located in Leye County, Guangxi and covers an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers. Scholars have initially discovered Dashiwei and Baidong There are more than 20 tiankengs, such as Fengyan Cave and Chuandong. The "Tiankeng" is surrounded by knife-cut cliffs on all sides, forming a huge shaft. At the bottom is a virgin forest of hundreds of thousands of square meters that humans have never set foot in, and is connected by an underground river.There are a large number of precious animal and plant species in the forest.Its underground primeval forest area ranks first in the world, its depth ranks second in the world, and its volume ranks third in the world. It has extremely high scientific research value.Dashiwei Tiankeng, the largest of the Leye Tiankeng Group, has a vertical depth of 613 meters, a width of 420 meters from north to south and a width of 600 meters from east to west.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel hairy. I have never seen the virgin forest below. If there is a virgin forest in the tiankeng, it would be a worthwhile trip.When we were about to fall to the bottom of the tiankeng just now, we didn’t have a good look at the environment below, so we saw a pile of stalactites. However, the tiankeng can be filled with “divine water” in an instant, and it is estimated that it is difficult to grow trees. It is only possible What is surprising is that there is a huge underground lake under the tiankeng, and the pressure is changing at any time.This reminds me of a sentence from time to time, that is, the Hongya characters I saw in the South China Sea, but maybe I am too sensitive, so I didn't think about it. The road was twists and turns, and the water droplets kept falling. I, who has a keen hearing, couldn't adapt to these, and my ears hurt terribly.Although the space here is not as big as the tiankeng, there are still some small stalactites formed.However, most of the stalactites here have also been artificially interrupted, making them look like ruins, which is a pity for archaeologists.To form such a spectacle, it will take hundreds of thousands or millions of years, so all countries in the world are protecting such caves. Now I can't help being angry when I see someone destroying them.The broken sections are very old, and I began to be confused. Could it be that these stalactites were really broken by the ancient Wuhu people?They probably didn't have the trend of selling stalactites in that era, and besides, they are all secluded and greedy for wealth, which is impossible. While thinking about these illogical things, Xinhong pushed me, indicating that there was a problem ahead.I listened attentively, it was the sound of breathing, and it was the sound of human breathing!
