They stood in the middle of this huge cave hall, with their backpacks casually placed on the table beside them. Zhao Xixi carefully picked up the stone bowl on the table and looked at it carefully. The stone bowl is heavy and about fifteen centimeters in diameter. It can be seen that its capacity is considerable.
"What is this thing used for?" Chen Mingzhi asked curiously.
"I think this may be a rice bowl." Jiang Xiaobao guessed, pointing to the stone holes on the wall and said, "Look at those stone holes, they are obviously dug manually. I guess. It's used to place candlesticks. "
"You mean, someone has been here before us?" Chen Mingzhi touched the table as he said it, and found that the table was unusually round and completely different. Like it was formed naturally.
"Well, it does look like artificial traces, but there are no signs of human life." Jiang Xiaobao replied thoughtfully.
"If someone really came, then when did they come? And who were they?" Jiang Xiaobao turned to ask Zhao Xixi, seeming to hope to get some inspiration from her .
"Could it be the group from the Beijing Archaeological Society?" Chen Mingzhi asked doubtfully. Zhao Xixi shook her head and analyzed: "There are seven or eight people from Beijing. Look at the ground. Except for the footprints of a few of us, you can't find anyone else's footprints, not even snakes." There are no traces of crawling. So, if anyone has been here, it can only be ancient people a long time ago."
"In fact, this is not impossible!" Jiang Xiaobao interjected. He said, "After all, some caves or underground rivers are connected to each other. Ancient people often broke into them by mistake. As a result, they lost their way and went deeper and deeper, and finally ended up in this underground cave."
< p> Just as he was talking, Jiang Xiaobao suddenly seemed to have discovered some new world, and shouted excitedly: "Come over and take a look! There is a human-shaped stone seal here!" After hearing this, Chen Mingzhi and Zhao Xixi hurried forward. , take a closer look, hey, it’s not really a human-shaped mark! This mark is quite peculiar. It is neither artificially carved nor painted, but there is a clear dividing line between the color of the humanoid pattern and the surroundings."This is too bizarre. What is going on? How come there are humanoid patterns?" Jiang Xiaobao's eyes widened, his face full of confusion. He looked closely at the humanoid pattern, trying to find some clues from it, but he still couldn't understand why it appeared here.
At the same time, Zhao Xixi also stepped forward and stretched out his fingers to gently stroke the cave wall. Her eyes became a little blurry, as if she remembered something important. Suddenly, she said: "I remembered, this should be the shadow left by a practitioner!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mingzhi suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "What is the shadow of a cultivator?" The shadow of a practitioner?" He has never heard of it.Having said this, I am full of curiosity and questions about this new concept.
Zhao Xixi explained with a smile: "In ancient times, many practitioners liked to choose caves far away from human beings as their practice places. Once they started meditating, they often practiced for several months, years, or even It takes more than ten years. As they remain in the same position for a long time, their shadows will gradually be reflected on the cave wall. As the years go by, day after day, year after year, these shadows gradually deepen. Finally, the deep mark we see now was formed."
Jiang Xiaobao was fascinated and couldn't help but sigh: "So this is so amazing! I didn't expect that the ancients' practice method was so special. Shadows can leave such deep traces."
Chen Mingzhi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then why do these practitioners choose to practice in caves? Is the outside world not suitable? They?"
Zhao Xixi continued to answer patiently: "For practitioners, the cave is a relatively quiet and quiet environment, which can help them better focus on their inner cultivation. The breath is also quite special, which helps them absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and improve their cultivation. Of course, not all practitioners will choose caves as a place to practice. This is just one of the common ways."
"This must be a Taoist practitioner who has practiced here for many years." Jiang Xiaobao exclaimed. "Then what happens next? Where did the cultivator go? If he is still in this cave, his bones should still be there." Chen Mingzhi continued to ask.
In ancient times, those who attained the Tao can be divided into two categories: one category will leave their remains in this world for future generations to admire; while the other category chooses to become immortals. This means they will leave no bones behind.
Song Yijin was standing in the cave hall and slowly walked around the cave wall. He had no doubts about Zhao Xixi's judgment and firmly believed that someone must have practiced here for a long time.
However, it is regrettable that the only items left here are a stone bowl and a table, and nothing else.
Song Yijin was curious, approached the human-shaped stone seal, faced the cave wall, and tried to restore the posture of the cultivator at that time.
He stood quietly, letting his shadow coincide with the stone seal on the cave wall, then closed his eyes slightly, stretched his hands flat, palms facing up, his right hand on top, and his two thumbs were placed on each other, stacked on top of each other. In the upper abdomen, stop thinking about the breath in the abdomen, and without thinking, you suddenly enter concentration.
Jiang Xiaobao and the others had just put on their backpacks and were about to ask Song Yijin to leave. They did not expect that Song Yijin would overlap with the stone seal on the cave wall, just like a statue. A round purple halo appeared around the head, with a diameter of six meters. Ten centimeters.
Zhao Xixi couldn't help but widen her eyes, with a look of astonishment on her face, and an uproar in her heart - who was Song Yijin in front of him! It's clearly the god on the cave wallSecret practitioner!
I saw that his height and body size fit perfectly with the stone seal, exactly!
What’s even more surprising is that there is a circular purple halo shining above Song Yijin’s head. This is the first time that Zhao Xixi has witnessed such a strange sight.
She subconsciously thought that Song Yijin seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, so she wanted to step forward and pull him to wake up.
However, Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi on the side saw this and hurriedly and cautiously stepped forward to stop him, saying: "My cousin is not possessed by a demon, he is in trance!"
Chen Mingzhi tensed up. Then he said: "My eldest cousin must have some special connection with the practitioners in the stone seal on the cave wall. Look at the human figure in the stone seal, doesn't it look very similar to my eldest cousin?"
At this moment, Song Yijin himself did not expect that as a Golden Toad Sanxian, he would enter a state of trance so quickly.
Not long after, Song Yijin slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, then turned around, and was surprised to find that the three of them were staring at him intently.
"It's nothing. I'm just trying out what it feels like to stand and meditate. You don't have to look at me so baffled." Song Yijin said expressionlessly.
Zhao Xixi's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Didn't you notice? You are standing in front of this stone seal now, and it fits perfectly with it! It's like there are traces left by you once standing here. !"
After hearing this, Song Yijin couldn't help laughing, and his voice echoed throughout the cave: "It's not as mysterious as you said! Okay, don't worry about it anymore. , let’s get out of here quickly.” After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Seeing this, the other three people followed suit.
Their pace was not fast. As Zhao Xixi walked, she was still secretly guessing what the next world outside the cave would be like.
They imagined that perhaps when they walked out of the cave, they would be greeted by a world filled with tens of thousands of tons of gold treasures - a ground paved with gold, roofs made of gold, and buildings made of gold. The walls made of gold, the sky pillars supported by gold, and the hills made of gold... Everywhere you look, there is a golden light.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
At the same time, Chen Mingzhi had another picture in his mind.
In his imagination, the next world should be a huge egg cave, covering an area of tens of thousands of hectares. The cave is filled with countless gold bricks and nuggets, arranged neatly, like a mountain of gold. Above the gold bricks and nuggets, there is a vertical channel that leads directly to the ground. Of course, this ground exit must be extremely hidden and difficult to be discovered.
As for Jiang Xiaobao, his thoughts are more pragmatic. In his opinion, the next world is likely to be a place full of precious resources and treasures, such as gems, pearls, emeralds, etc.
In this way, the four people walked slowly towards the depths of the cave with different expectations...
"What you said is very good. I hope the next one will It's not an egg cave, but a cave that is dozens of kilometers long and winds up to the ground." Zhao Xixi thought for a moment and then said, "Of course I also hope to find a 10,000-ton gold treasure."
At this moment, Song Yijin, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and said, "Look, there are many golden snakes in front of you!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xixi, who was following behind, She couldn't help but let out a scream: "Ah! Snake? Why is it a snake again!"
She screamed and backed away in horror.
Seeing this, Song Yijin quickly explained with a smile: "Don't be afraid, that is not a real snake, but a gold mine, but the shape looks more like a snake."
After saying that, he squatted down and carefully looked at the gold mines that were exposed on the ground and were as slender as snakes. Each of these gold veins is more than three meters long.
"Brother, come and take a look, there are them on the cave wall too, and there are so many of them!"
"It's also on the top of the cave!" Seeing such a spectacular sight. Zhao Xixi was amazed at the sight.
"Wow, there are so many golden snakes. These are the gold mine guides that gold miners dream of! As long as they appear somewhere, even if there is only one, it means there is a huge snake nearby. gold deposits," Chen Mingzhi said excitedly.
"Yes, there are hundreds of golden snakes here, which are hard to count. There is no doubt that this is the location of the legendary 10,000-ton gold treasure."
"There are five hundred of them." Song Yijin said calmly.
Zhao Xixi looked at Song Yijin and then at the gold bars around him, "How did you count out the five-hundred-day bar so quickly?"
Song Yijin said with a smile: "I I dreamed of them, a total of five hundred of them, crawling at my feet."
"It's so magical, I also dreamed of mountains, one after another, connected with each other!" Jiang Xiaobao joked. .
"It doesn't matter whether we find 10,000 tons of gold treasure. These five hundred golden snakes are enough to make a fortune. Look, each one dug out weighs at least thirty or forty kilograms!" Chen Mingzhi said.
"The appearance of golden snakes represents the direction of the entire gold mine mountain range. You see, the bodies of these golden snakes are all facing one direction. Our land belongs to the Zhonglong Dragon Vein. Zhonglong is one of the three major dragon veins in China. So The appearance of many golden snakes means that tens of thousands of tons of gold are likely to be on the Zhonglong Dragon Veins." Song Yijin said: "The golden snakes here cannot move.The strips are three meters long and are intertwined in the rock of the cave wall. If you dig up the golden snake, it will easily cause the cave to collapse. "
"It's not as serious as you said. This cave is naturally formed and it is impossible for it to collapse. " Chen Mingzhi said.
"Also, we must be careful where we step and try to avoid stepping on the golden snake, because it is easy to deform. "Song Yijin said to them.
"Let's go quickly and get out of the cave as soon as possible. "
Chen Mingzhi quietly stayed behind, pretending to squat down to tie his shoelaces. He quickly spotted a golden snake that was a little loose, and pulled it out completely with a tug. The three people in front were chatting loudly. , and didn't notice it.
Chen Mingzhi twisted the golden snake into half and put it into his backpack.
Jiang Xiaobao heard something coming from behind and turned around to see Chen Mingzhi lagging behind. It was far away, but he never imagined that he could pull out the golden snake, and he would not think about it.
"Chen Mingzhi, what are you doing, why don't you follow me. "Jiang Xiaobao shouted.
Chen Mingzhi rubbed his knees, "It's okay, I accidentally fell and my skin was a little scratched. ”
“Watch your steps carefully, is it important?” "Song Yijin and Zhao Xixi were also concerned.
Chen Mingzhi hurriedly followed up and said it was okay with a smile, but his expression was extremely unnatural. Song Yijin felt that there was something wrong in his mind, but he had to hurry and had no time to ask further. < /p>
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of rocks collapsing from behind where the five hundred golden snakes were. The sound spread in the cave and was infinitely amplified, like a huge wave crashing against the cliff, which was frightening.
Before they could react, the rocks, wrapped in thick rock dust, were rolling towards the four of them like a flood, making it difficult to see clearly inside the cave.
"Run! "Song Yijin gave the order.
The four of them ran forward quickly. Before they could run very far, a huge rock formation shaft appeared on the ground in front of them. Jiang Xiaobao, who was running in front, fell into it first. Song Yijin was unable to stop. Falling with Zhao Xixi and Chen Mingzhi
