Chapter 101 Chapter Eighteen

Looking aimlessly around the big cave hall, after a while, he still couldn't see any signs of danger.So, I couldn't help but asked Chen Jing: "Why do I have to wait until a while before going down? How long will I have to wait?" "Wait for the water to come in again." Chen Jing replied calmly. "Don't ask," Xinhong saw that I wanted to ask again, so he said, "They all said to wait, so let's wait, anyway, the old curator Cha and Chen Jing have found them, so there is no rush. " I heard what Xin Hong said, and I thought it was reasonable, but I had a feeling in my heart that I wanted to find Lin Yue quickly, and I also regretted stopping Lin Yue when she was not at the entrance of the cave.If she really goes abroad with ancient Chinese cultural relics, I don’t know how long it will take to get on her side, and the study of Chinese culture will also be a loss.

"I asked why I had to wait for the water to come in again before going down. Is this the head office?" I broke free from Xinhong's hand and insisted on asking to understand. I always knew half and didn't know half, and one day I would have to hold me out of illness. I immediately asked: "Are you worried that it will be difficult to bring the old curator Zha down from the mouth of the waterfall, so you want to wait for the big water to come in again, and we will swim directly?" "The old man Cha you said has already fainted like that. How can he swim? What if he drowns? I'm not worried about this problem, it's because of that pillar." Chen Jing replied worriedly, "Now I'm with you guys. I can’t explain it clearly, the pillar is too far away from us, and I can’t understand it even if I show it to you.”

"You are the only one who is good." Seeing that Chen Jing refused to say anything, I had no choice but to give up. I guess her expressive ability is not good.I wondered in my heart, could it be that the flower she was looking for was on the top of the big pillar, so she had to wait for the water to come in again, and then use the power of the water to swim up? Chen Jing has always been the kind of person who only speaks half of what she has to say. She ignored my questioning and just stood beside the red beast, looking carefully at the pale face of old curator Zha.Xinhong also stood silently beside her, and with a slightly sour heart, I walked to the side alone and chatted with Sister Yu for a few words.The stagnant water in the cave hall is neither deep nor shallow. Some places are raised and not submerged by water, but some places are so deep that we can't reach our waists.The sound of the water pouring down from the cave hall is no less than the roar of the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is reasonable to say that this underground waterfall cannot be comparable to the Huangguoshu Waterfall, but the sound of its rapids is extremely clear.It turned out that the sound of water heard on the road from here came from this underground waterfall.

Previously, the red beast jumped up from the entrance of this waterfall, and the vertical drop here is more than ten meters, which shows the infinite power of the red beast.Even so, what I care most about is the roar of the red beast when it leaps up.I clearly remember its sound, this waterfall and the previous Zhenqin's Voice, they all have the same characteristics, that is, illusory and ethereal.Not allowing me to think too much, there was another muffled sound in the cave.I know that the "divine water" will soon fill the cave again. Although I escaped from the tiankeng by chance last time, I suffered a whole body of illness. If it weren't for the help of the strange and ferocious beasts beside me, we would not be here until now. They are still unable to move, and may even be blind and deaf.

Chen Jing and Xinhong were talking to the old curator Zha, and they didn't look worried at all. They really didn't know what to do.When the water comes in later, no one can predict where it will be washed away. With such a strong momentum, it may not be safe to hold on to one place.I looked around the two cave halls. No matter which cave hall it is, the water pressure caused will be much smaller than that of the tiankeng. Maybe I was worrying too much.Even so, we still have to worry, because the tunnel has no roof, and it is extremely dangerous to be completely filled with water.The environmental characteristics of cave diving are: low underwater visibility, complex and changeable passages, and it is difficult to judge the direction.In case of an emergency, it cannot be quickly floated to the surface, and the air in the channel is thin and the concentration of carbon dioxide is high.Therefore, even when the diving process encounters a channel with a free water surface, the air supply equipment cannot be removed casually.Sadly, we don't even have scuba gear, let alone air gear.

"Let's just stop talking a few words. If the water comes later, where can we hide?" I couldn't help worrying. "The water will recede in a while, you have too many things to worry about." After Chen Jing threw out a sentence, she continued to talk about the old director Cha with Xinhong. It seems that Chen Jing really didn't know the old director Cha, otherwise she Nor would he keep asking questions with such interest. They don't worry, I have to take care of the worrying things. When the water comes in, I have to watch the old curator Zha, so as not to be washed away somewhere.Sister Yu looked anxious and kept looking towards the big cave hall, but she didn't say a word, she just bit her pale lips and leaned against the stone wall.She has brought us here without looking back, why does she know that Xiaoyan is here? What did she see twenty years ago, so she knows that Xiaoyan must be here?Before the groundwater came in, I suddenly thought of picking up a handkerchief at the entrance of the cave. It belonged to Chen Jing, and I saw it when I was in the South China Sea.Now the person is right in front of me. After thinking about it, I took it out and planned to return the handkerchief to him.The strange bird pattern on the handkerchief stands out in the dim light. I am very familiar with this bird, and it has appeared in dreams thousands of times.Chen Jing can call out the name of the old curator Zha who has never met before, and I am so familiar with the strange bird that does not know whether it exists in the world. Is there any unknown connection between these things?

After taking out the handkerchief, I was in a daze for a while, and when I was about to pass the handkerchief, the voice of Zhenqin suddenly resounded through the cave, like ripples from a clear spring.After the red beast heard the sound of the piano, it turned its body to one side, and the old curator Zha fell from its back onto a black stone protruding from the water.I was still wondering if the red beast was too tired from carrying people and wanted to rest for a few minutes?Unexpectedly, as soon as it unloaded the old curator Zha, it took a big stride, dodged for a while, and jumped down from the mouth of the underground waterfall, as fast as a gust of wind.

After jumping from the top, the red beast landed far away, and did not fall into the pool under the waterfall. If it participated in the long jump competition, the 2008 Olympic Games would be in the limelight.However, this jump of the red beast made me feel strange. The underground waterfall has already caused a lot of erosion on the rock surface, which shows that the formation of the underground waterfall is not a matter of a day or two. Then why the big cave hall below Didn't form an underground lake?The two rays of light in our hands wandered in the big cave hall. After observing for a long time, we couldn't find any other exit. It seemed that this big cave hall was a dead end, the end of the cave.If so, where did the water from the underground waterfall go?

I looked down and saw that there was a pool where the underground waterfall fell vertically, and there seemed to be small canals dug by hand on both sides of the pool.The reason why I say "seems" is because the distance is too far to see clearly; the second is because the two small canals are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the pool, and they also surround the big cave hall. Come, form a circle.Such canals seem natural, but they also seem to be dug artificially.In this way, the pouring water has been circulating in the big cave, so why can't the incoming water keep filling the big cave?

After the red beast jumped down, it rushed towards the big pillar below without looking back. I was shocked when I saw its behavior. It must be looking for death. It was too sudden, and we didn’t provoke it. it.Xinhong and the others also stood there in surprise, only Chen Jing was not surprised.Finally, the red beast crashed into the big pillar.The sound of the piano continued, and it miraculously calmed our panic quickly.I couldn't wait to let Xinhong use the flashlight to shine there, but there was no red beast's body, nor any blood.Of course, this is absolutely impossible. Just now, the red beast crashed into the big pillar, it crashed into it!I saw the red beast run into the pillar with my own eyes!In any case, I can't believe that such absurd things will happen in the world. I stared desperately at the big pillar for a long time, but I didn't see a trick. Could it be that our encounter with the red beast is all an illusion?

The big pillar couldn't see anything, because that pillar seemed to absorb light, and once the light passed, there was only darkness.Even so, I saw a straight line of water behind the big pillar connecting the water canal surrounding the big cave hall.This canal happened to be blocked by a large pillar, so I didn't find it just now.Hidden drains were found, and then another problem ran out.I saw that the terrain of the Great Cave Hall was high on all sides, and then gradually sank down towards the big pillar in the middle.In this way, the water canal around the surrounding should finally flow into the canal hidden behind the big pillar, and then the water should flow into the pillar, but why doesn't the water overflow because it is blocked by the big pillar? Immediately afterwards, there was a flow in the air, but it was not as strong as the first sudden flood.In the cave where the underground river flows, the movement of the water drags the movement of the air molecules, resulting in air movement. This phenomenon is called the "ride effect".In some cave passages, there is a regular change in the airflow direction with a period of several seconds to several minutes. This kind of hole is a "breathing hole", which is caused by the phenomenon of air resonance. Found in sway.If we had candles in our hands, they would have been blown out by the current of air. Because we still had lingering fears about the sudden underground flood last time, we all looked towards the entrance of the cave when there was a breeze in the air.The matter was urgent, so I stuffed the handkerchief I was still holding back into my pocket, and returned it to Chen Jing after I breathed a sigh of relief.To our surprise, the flood came slowly this time, and after watching for a long time, no drop of water came out.The waiting time was not long, but it was extremely hard.We didn't make a sound, just waited for the water to come in.Before the water came in, I supported Mr. Zha Laoguan by my side to prevent him from being washed away by the water. Unexpectedly, as soon as I helped the old curator Zha, I heard the sound of water behind me.Looking back, I find it incredible, why is the water so changeable?
