Chapter 27: The Boulder

Looking from this angle, there is no one on our grassland except us. I don’t know if Zhao Xin’s group has already gone down. I asked Chen Jing: “You said that huge stone was used by your ancestors to suppress

, then do you know where is the place under the boulder?"

Chen Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but...our last head of the house once came to this place once, and it was said that he couldn't even enter the gate."

Can't even get through the gate? I said: "Your previous head didn't have the key? Wasn't the place under the huge stone built by the ancestors of your Chen family?"

Chen Jing said: "Yes, but you are an outsider and I can't tell you clearly. In fact, the ancestors of our Chen family can be traced back to a long time ago. However, there is a fault zone in the middle. Our Chen family once lived in a certain place.

During the historical period, many people died, so this fault zone was formed, resulting in many things that we ourselves don’t know and can only look for ourselves.”

I speculated, thinking that the previous head of the family couldn't even get through the gate, so what were the ghosts Chen and Zhao Xin going to do? Is it possible to blow it up with explosives? Where is the gate? There is something hidden under the vast grassland.

What kind of cave?

As we talked, we gradually approached the boulder. The closer we got to it, the taller it became. When we got under the boulder, we found traces of someone staying there. There were some vacuum food packaging tapes on the ground, and on the right side of the boulder.

, there is a hole that is obviously dug by humans. The soil at the hole has been renovated and exudes a kind of moist soil.

The smell and smell of grass must have been done by Xin Zhao and others.

It was already approaching dusk. Zhao Xin and others did not arrive much earlier than us, but it was obvious that they knew someone was chasing us, so they acted quickly. As soon as I saw the hole made, I knew that today was not the time to get there.

Rested.

The hole was not deep, with a diameter of about one meter, which could accommodate two people. The depth was about four meters, and the bottom was a stone slab.

The surface of the stone slab is carved with very simple patterns. It has obviously been buried underground for a long time. The original color of the stone slab has long since disappeared and turned into a dark black due to long-term exposure to water vapor.

The stone slab is sealed. It is probably a sealed movable stone slab. Zhao Xin and others have already gone down.

According to Chen Jing, the space below was built by the ancestors of the Chen family to protect something. To open that thing, you need to gather enough data scattered in various places, so this thing has been buried deep underground for thousands of years.

, until here at Ghost Chen, everything is ready.

What's next?

Xin Zhao can very accurately find the entrance to the underground stone slabs and conduct excavations outside the surface. He seems to be quite familiar with this place. Could it be that Xin Zhao has been here before?

What method will Ghost Chen use to open the door that the previous head could not? What will Xin Zhao do?

In doubt, Ghost Chen had already jumped down first. He squatted down and touched the stone slab, then hissed and his eyes became cold. Then he dug out of the hole and ordered a subordinate on the side to blow up the hole.

I was startled and said: "Use explosives? Isn't this a movable stone slab? Then how did Zhao Xin and the others get down?"

The little yellow dog patted my head and said, "You are stupid. If you were named Zhao and you knew someone would come down from behind, would you let people pass safely?"

I understood, and couldn't help but pat myself on the head, thinking that the things I couldn't understand recently, one after another, made people's heads dizzy. Yes, if I were Xin Zhao, I would definitely set up some obstacles.

,The design of movable stone slabs generally uses the principle of rotation.

, just like a gas switch, when a switch is touched, there is bound to be a stuck point below. This stuck point can only be discovered after entering the stone slab. If I were Xin Zhao, I would definitely tamper with the stuck point, such as there.

Block an iron block so that the mechanism cannot operate.

If I were to be more insidious, I would place a large number of detonators at the stuck points, so that when someone outside opens the mechanism of the movable stone slab and presses the detonators on the stuck points, the result can be imagined.

I estimate that the second possibility is the most likely. If Ghost Chen had opened the mechanism rashly just now, he might have been blown away.

The man got a detonator and signaled us to step back. He then aimed at a raised position on the movable stone slab and threw the detonator down. There was a loud bang, broken soil and grass clippings flying everywhere.

, the soil beneath my feet was faintly shaking. It is impossible for a detonator to have such great power. It seems that what I just thought was right. Zhao Xin is really insidious. Although since we got in the car, the two groups of us have

We have never met, but we have been fighting wits and courage almost all the way.

After a while, the vibration calmed down. We walked to the entrance of the cave and saw that the stone slab had completely disappeared. It was pitch black under the stone slab, and it was bottomless, and we didn't know where it was.

The little yellow dog took a cold firework and threw it down. The cold green light entered the darkness, fell rapidly, became smaller and smaller, became more and more similar, and finally turned into a light spot the size of a firefly.

I couldn't help but take a breath and said, "It's really deep. It's empty down here. We have to use a rope to get down."

The little yellow dog said: "I don't think so. If the bottom is empty and the person named Zhao is below, and the stone slab is pulled out, wouldn't he fall down and become a pulp? Xin Zhao is not that stupid."

With a hint of luck, I said: "If you think about it on the bright side, maybe he is really unlucky and will be smashed into a pulp."

The little yellow dog said coldly: "I'm afraid the master will be buried with them. Shut up, you crow mouth. I'll go down and take a look first." While he was talking, Ghost Chen's men had already tied ropes to secure them, and the little yellow dog copied them.

Holding the rope, holding a pistol at his waist, holding a dagger in his mouth, he held the rope and pulled it down.

For a moment, after descending into the darkness, he hung on the rope and turned his body in a circle, as if he was scanning all directions with the light of the flashlight. Then, he seemed to have discovered something, and his body suddenly swayed, and the whole person disappeared.

, but the light of the flashlight came from where he swung past.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a sudden blackness below, and then the flashlight came on again. This was repeated three times, which was a safe signal for us all to get down.

Immediately, I lined up for the second cave and reached the position under the stone slab. Due to the light source of the little yellow dog, I quickly discovered a surprising fact.

Under the stone slab, there is indeed a completely empty place. I don’t know if it was dug by humans. It is so dark that I can’t see the bottom. But right in front of me, there is a huge stone pillar that goes straight to the bottom. If I am not wrong,

This huge irregular 'stone pillar' is integrated with the boulders on the surface. Just like the Dinghai Divine Needle, two-thirds of it is inserted into the soil and blends into the darkness below.

Chen Jing also said before that this huge stone was brought to this place by her ancestors. Now I just want to say: This is totally bullshit. Unless her ancestors are gods!

This huge boulder should have formed naturally and followed the trend. It is impossible for manpower to transport such a huge thing, let alone stand it upright. This is impossible even in modern times, let alone thousands of years ago?

The little yellow dog is now sitting on the boulder. On the surface of the boulder, there are stone steps carved out. The stone steps surround the boulder, spiraling downwards and extending into the darkness. My body swayed and I stopped on the stone steps.

When I got up, the little yellow dog pulled me up and loosened the rope. People continued to come down from above. First it was Brother Wang, and then Ghost Chen's men came down one after another. Only two people were left outside to respond.

This space is very large, and the flashlight cannot hit it from all directions. Everything is empty as far as the eye can see, and we don’t know what is further away. We follow the stone steps and go down in circles. In the empty space, we are the only ones.

The sound of tapping footsteps has a permeating feeling in my ears.

The little yellow dog walked in the front, I was second, Brother Wang was third, and the rest were in the middle. Ghost Chen was holding the line at the back. Because it was in a spiral shape, I couldn't see Ghost Chen when I looked back. I could only see the three behind me.

Individuals, more people, are on the other side of the round boulder, our sight

, cut apart by this peculiar structure, although there were quite a few people coming down, but including the little yellow dog and Brother Wang in front, there were only four people I could really see, and the other two were

One of the subordinates of the ghost Chen family is nicknamed "Wolf Eagle" and the other is nicknamed Chen Guang.

Wolf Eagle didn't talk much, and his eyes gave people a very fierce look. I thought it was better not to provoke this kind of people before, so I didn't provoke him. Later, during the march, when distributing food, he once handed me biscuits, so

It doesn't feel that unfamiliar to me either.'

As for the man named Chen Guang, he is a good-looking young man. Judging from his age, he is probably about the same age as me. He is relatively close to Wolf Eagle. The two of them should be partners who have worked together for many years. They have been inseparable from each other along the way.

Yeah, I feel like a scholar, when a bunch of us old men scolded us

When you were an uncle, this guy never used a single foul language. Dr. Yang liked people like this. She often lectured me, saying that I was full of swear words and looked like a gangster. Therefore, I have a strong opinion on such gentle and gentle people.

They appear just to attack those like us.

When I reached about the center, I noticed that the cold fireworks I had thrown down before were gradually extinguished.

I feel a little strange, because the burning time of Leng Yanhuo is at least three hours. How long does it take? About ten minutes, how could it go out? Could it be that Ghost Chen has prepared parallel imports for us?

The little yellow dog in front obviously also noticed it. He let out a sigh and said, "There seems to be something going on down there. Please be careful." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden clicking sound in the silent space, as if there was something going on.

It was like something was eating fried beans. The sound was dense. At first it was just a little bit, but then the sound became more and more numerous. Gradually we discovered that the sound seemed to be coming from the bottom.

What is it?

Is it possible that Xin Zhao's people are eating fried beans down there? How many fried beans do you have to eat to make such a sound?
