Opening the mountain gate is equivalent to changing the entire corridor structure, and how to move the mountain gate safely and without damage also requires detailed study. Jiang Xing acted very quickly. The next day, he typed up a report on the situation in Cave No. 0 and submitted it to the courtyard, with attached

The screenshot of the image of the mountain gate, of course, also includes the shadow situation.

Professor Hu attached great importance to it, and rushed to the dormitory of the Liuxi Wanzi team as soon as possible after conducting research with the hospital. This meeting lasted for a long time, starting from nearly noon until the moon was bright.

Opening the mountain gate is equivalent to facing a new cave, and it is still underground. No one knows what is in the cave. Maybe a large number of unique treasures will be found like the Sutra Cave, or maybe it will be robbed like the mural tomb in Loulan.

Once it is empty, there may be huge dangers lurking inside.

Everything is unknown. After all, Xue Fan claimed that there was a cave within a cave, but he did not report the situation of the cave within a cave in detail.

Judging from the fact that Xue Fan disappeared, it was not reported because there was no time, so only the manuscript was leaked.

The manuscript, which was once considered to be conjecture by the academy, can now be verified.

Regarding opening the mountain gate, Luo Zhan quickly made a response plan. As an expert who knew the mountain structure well, how to open the mountain gate without causing the structure to collapse was something he could solve.

As for that mountain gate...

Professor Hu did not talk about this topic for a long time, but Jiang Zhi faced it directly, "The mountain gate has not existed since ancient times. Through these two observations, it is certain that after the cave was sealed by the ancestors, only a palm-sized keyhole was left.

The location of the middle cave is very secret, so its purpose is not to be discovered by the outside world. And the mountain gate was opened by later people."

Speaking of this, his eyes darkened slightly.

Everyone else knew it, especially Professor Hu. He took a deep breath and said, "It's most likely that Professor Xue opened it?"

Everyone present was silent.

But Jiang Zhi shook his head, "No, this mountain gate existed when Xue Guxian discovered the cave within the cave, so the rumors about the cave within the cave existed. It is even said that the rubbings were discovered earlier than Xue Guxian."

Having said this, he paused, and after a long time added in a low voice, "It's just that it was Xue Gu who sealed the mountain gate first."

Everyone was surprised and surprised to be able to observe this layer. At the same time, a chill ran down their backs. This was far more despairing and frightening than what they had just inferred.

Sheng Tang sat next to Jiang Zhi. Although he didn't raise his eyes to look at him, because he was so close, he could hear the hidden emotions in his words, which was the kind of oppressive feeling that made people breathless.

She was indeed breathless, and Jiang Zhi's words were like a rope wrapped around her neck. The picture that flashed in her mind was: On a stormy night, Professor Xue Fan took one last look at the deserted Gobi. After all, he said goodbye to the fireworks of the world.

He resolutely returned to Cave No. 0. He entered the cave within a cave, and finally sealed the mountain door from the inside to the outside, deciding to live and die with the cave that was more important than his life.

There was no Xue Fan in the world after that rainy night. Neither the courtyard nor Jiang Zhi gave up the search for all these years, so where could he be? Now that I think about it, it is almost a definite fact that he is in the cave within the cave.

Thinking of this, Sheng Tang felt even more stressed.

Subconsciously reaching for Jiang Zhi's hand, I was surprised to find that his fingers were very cold. For this man who was good at restoration using ancient methods, the control of hand gentleness was the most important thing to him.

The room fell into silence.

On such a hot day, everyone here felt colder than ever before.

It was Jiang Zhi who finally broke the silence. When he spoke again, his emotions were obviously under control, "Professor Hu, I applied to open the gate tonight."

Professor Hu pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him, "Do you need to ask for foreign aid?"

"No need, Luo Zhan's plan is very specific, our team can handle it without any problem, and we are responsible for the development of Cave 0." Jiang Zhi's attitude was very affirmative.

Seeing his determination, Professor Hu agreed. He also knew that according to Jiang Zhi's temperament, he would never accept the intervention of foreign aid. However, as the soul of the entire team, he was afraid that Jiang Zhi would become emotional once he entered the cave within the cave.

Jiang Zhi glanced at everyone present, "What about you? Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone expressed no objection and vowed to independently complete the excavation and protection of the cave within the cave no matter what.

After the meeting ended, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. In addition to making preparations for entering the cave, everyone had a simple meal. Cheng Qin could not participate, but he felt unsure when he saw them making such a big fuss. He asked Xiao Ye in a low voice, "What if there is really a danger?"

?Should we call an ambulance or a police car in advance?"

Xiao was also made to laugh and cry, "Don't worry, I have to help you choose a partner and watch you get married. You have a long life."

Cheng Qin was speechless, "I'm serious with you."

Xiao was also happy, "This is what I'm saying. Only after I've settled you well can anything happen to me."

On the other side, Sheng Tang handed Jiang Zhi some water and asked him, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Zhi took the water and patted her head, "Something's wrong, how can you comfort me?"

Sheng Tang choked, what he said...

Just as she was about to go back to the house to get her bag, Jiang Zhi grabbed her wrist, pulled her back, and hugged her.

She didn't struggle.

He didn't say anything, his chin rested lightly on the top of her head, and he just held her quietly.

The wind started blowing in the Gobi desert, and the grains of sand rubbed against the ground, as if they were whispering...

**

No more shadows were drawn when entering the cave this time. The location of the mountain gate has been found, so there is no need to wait for a long time.

While Luo Zhan was using a machine to open up the cracks in the stone of the mountain gate little by little, Xiao Ye looked at the palm-sized keyhole, then pointed at the skeleton on the mural and said, "Its hand is pointing downwards. In fact, it told us early on that there is a cave within a cave."

It’s because we didn’t think about it that way. So, we thought it was complicated at that time.”

"Not necessarily." Shen Yao said softly, "There are skeletons on the mural, maybe it's a hint." As she said that, she glanced in the direction of the mountain gate.

Sheng Tang listened clearly and felt excited.

Jiang Zhi kept staring at the mountain gate, not sure if he heard Shen Yao's words, but Sheng Tang thought that the cave was so large that anyone who said anything would be heard.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Luo Zhan say excitedly, "The mountain gate is open!"

Everyone was shocked and quickly stepped forward.

The entire mountain gate was removed with neat cuts and no damage to the mural above. In fact, it was equivalent to removing the entire mural. However, there was a bigger secret hidden behind the gable.

I felt the cold wind rush out and hit the pores on my face, making me shiver.

Jiang held his headlight and shined his light on it. He saw that he was facing a gable wall with a passage that was only one person wide in the middle. At first glance, it looked like a chimney pipe. He looked at the top of the passage and found that it was blocked and there was no way.

Looking down, it is open. From top to bottom, what can reach the bottom is not a ladder, but a quickly crossed mountain stone. This is the only remaining road that can lead to the cave in the underground cave.

Luo Zhan was about to throw the ladder down, but Jiang Zhi stopped him. He wanted to go down first to check the situation and follow the existing cave entry methods. Moreover, he measured the length and width of the rocks, and there was no problem stepping on them.

After Jiang Zhi took the lead, Qi Yu, Sheng Tang, Shen Yao, and Xiao Ye broke off, Luo Zhan temporarily guarded the mountain gate to provide support. At the same time, Jiang Zhi tied three ropes to his body, one was the main rope for emergency use, and the other was for emergency use.

A second rope is connected to the people who are following him into the cave, and a third rope is connected to Luo Zhanna, with a bell tied to the rope.

They moved down little by little, and the passage was not too deep. Soon the headlights reached the bottom, so the cave within the cave should extend to both sides.

Just as Jiang Zhi was recording the situation on the four walls, he heard Sheng Tang gasp in surprise.

Something like thick fog suddenly surged up from the bottom, and it was extremely fast, swallowing them up in an instant.

Only when they were in it did they realize that this was not black mist, but tiny insect-like things, whizzing in. Qi Yu was frightened and screamed, "Feitian is bleeding! He is bleeding!"

I saw him reach out and grab it suddenly, and then the whole person fell headfirst.

Jiang Zhi, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the auxiliary rope and tightened the main rope. Qi Yu was hanging in the air. But he was still scratching around and mumbling.

Looking at the other people, their expressions were all wrong.
