Chapter 154: The Water Curtain Cave Under the Tiankeng
In fact, many tiankeng groups have been discovered in southern Shaanxi in recent years, and they are the first tiankeng group in Asia, but they have not been developed.
The sinkhole that Lu Jing wanted to explore was a bit unexpected.
Because many tiankeng groups appear near Bashan, they are really rare in the Qinling Mountains.
In particular, this sinkhole is still behind Laomiao Mountain and has never been mentioned by the older generation.
But it’s normal to think about it. This sinkhole is too hidden. If you want to find it, you have to climb to the top of the old temple. Most people can’t climb it.
Even with aerial photography, you can't take any photos. It's shrouded in fog and you can't see anything.
Moreover, Lu Jing also discovered a problem. The magnetic field here seems to be different.
When he went down, he could already feel that the aura around him was very different from the outside world. This feeling was very clear.
When looking with the naked eye, he actually couldn't see anything. Only when he used his True Eyes, he could see the tip of the iceberg in the sinkhole below.
I also feel that the atmosphere here is different from the outside world.
Lu Jing went downwards little by little...
The visual inspection from above was about a few hundred meters deep, but when he actually came down to a hundred meters, he discovered that even the True Eye could sometimes see wrongly.
This sinkhole is not ordinary deep,
The vegetation he saw above was actually only part of the mountainside of the Tiankeng.
The depth of the entire sinkhole is immeasurable.
The further down he went, the more shocked Lu Jing was.
The climate inside the tiankeng is completely different from the outside world. It seems like entering another world.
It's winter in the outside world, and the trees are all dry, but the further down here, the more lush the vegetation becomes.
Not only that, Lu Jing found that the vegetation here seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation.
Many of the vegetation were completely new to him. When he went down to more than 300 meters, Lu Jing discovered that the color of the vegetation was no longer a single green, but became colorful.
At a certain moment, Lu Jing's heart was greatly moved, and the true energy in his body began to circulate on its own.
This is an unprecedented change.
There is only one result for the true qi in the body to operate autonomously, which is that when it is nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the true qi in the body will move autonomously when it is pulled by the external spiritual energy.
After feeling it carefully, he found that he could indeed feel the presence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air here.
This is very rare.
You must know that there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth on the entire earth.
But he felt the aura of heaven and earth here personally.
And it's very rich.
This shows that there is sufficient spiritual energy in the world here.
This discovery made Lu Jing very happy.
He felt that he might make great discoveries when he came down to explore the sinkhole this time.
Speed up and continue down...
After descending nearly 600 meters, Lu Jing finally saw the ground below the sinkhole.
He jumped down and stood on the ground.
The good guy looked up and saw that the sky was covered with clouds and fog, so he couldn't see anything.
By some estimation, this sinkhole seems to be nearly a thousand meters deep.
Although obscured by fog, the light below was not affected at all.
It really feels like a world of its own here.
It's completely like arriving in a primitive tropical rainforest.
The towering old trees are as strong as six or seven people. I saw several trees at a glance.
There was no chill at all, the air was slightly humid and hot, but it was not uncomfortable at all, but rather comfortable.
The aura is very strong here.
He relaxed his mind, the exercises in his body started to work, and the pores all over his body relaxed.
I have never felt so comfortable at this moment.
He said to himself: "Perhaps this is the true state of cultivation!"
Lu Jingdu could vaguely feel that his cultivation level was improving slightly.
If he continues in this state and practices here for a period of time, he feels that he will definitely be able to break through the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, step into the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and reach the middle stage of the Qi Refining Stage.
"Zhizhizhi~"
"Yo yo yo~"
At this time, Lu Jing heard the clearer sounds of animals.
The former has a strong momentum, and it doesn't sound like one.
The latter is single and a bit miserable.
Just inside the sinkhole.
Lu Jing was attracted by the sound and left after hearing the sound.
Now that I'm down, I naturally want to look around.
As for cultivation, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, he found such a paradise-like place, so he wasn't in a hurry because he couldn't run away.
This sinkhole was obscured by huge and dense trees. He couldn't see clearly how big the sinkhole was underground, but he was sure that it was definitely much larger than what he observed from above.
After distinguishing the sound, I walked forward for about forty or fifty meters when my vision suddenly became clear.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of huge water flow, mixed with the roars of various birds and animals.
He saw a huge pool in his sight, about eighty meters in diameter like me.
The strange thing is that the water in this pool did not overflow, but gathered in the middle of the pool. The source of the water was a waterfall more than three meters wide, which struck from an unknown height and fell to the ground to form a waterfall.
This big pool.
Looking at the turquoise water, it is bottomless.
Obviously, there are water channels under these pools, perhaps forming underground rivers.
At this moment, he also saw monkeys with golden hair all over their bodies.
It is the golden monkey, one of the four treasures of the Qinling Mountains.
On the mountain tens of meters away from the water pool, there are wild fruit trees growing one after another.
There were red wild peaches, kiwis, hawthorn trees, etc., as well as some wild fruit trees that he didn't recognize.
There are fruits hanging on them.
The aroma of fruit permeates the air, refreshing your heart and lungs.
Groups of golden monkeys shuttle and play among these fruit trees.
At a certain moment, Lu Jing saw a monkey leaping into the waterfall.
His heart was greatly moved, and the Eye of Truth began to move, and he saw a three-meter-diameter cave behind the waterfall.
The first word that comes to mind is - Water Curtain Cave.
Tiankeng version of Water Curtain Cave.
Unexpectedly, there is such a cave under the sinkhole nearly a thousand meters away.
It looks like a naturally formed cave with no traces of artificial excavation.
But it’s not surprising when you think about it.
Such a huge sinkhole can be formed by the movement of the earth's crust here. It is not surprising that a water curtain cave was born.
The scene is a group of golden monkeys, a waterfall, a water curtain cave, a pool, and countless wild fruit trees all around. It is easy to think of the Huaguoshan Water Curtain Cave in Journey to the West.
What an interesting place!
Lu Jing was watching from below, but the monkeys hadn't noticed his presence yet.
"Yo~"
At this moment, a scream sounded again.
This time Lu Jing saw a small crimson animal on the ground not far from the pool, and it screamed.
But it always looked like a squirrel, but what was very striking was the scene where the little cutie, who seemed to have wings, was picking up wild fruits that fell on the mountain, but was hit by a monkey on the tree and ran around holding its head.
Looking carefully, Lu Jing remembered a news report he saw last year. It was a flying squirrel.
