The jade cicada remains in the skull's mouth. Is there any mystery behind it?
"Zhou Cang, what's wrong?" Seeing my frozen expression, Zhang Jisheng came over and asked.
"Look, there is a cigarette case inside this skull." I thought for a moment and didn't want to tell anyone about my parents.
"It's very strange." Zhang Jisheng nodded. Others also saw the jade cicada at this time, and their faces were full of doubts.
"Only this skeleton has something in its mouth, so will this skeleton have any mechanism?" Xiangyu said.
Zhang Jisheng nodded: "The jaws on both sides of this skull are severely worn, which proves that the jaws of this skull often open and close. There should be a mechanism here."
"Could that be the mechanism that opens the door?" Xiangyu's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope.
"We won't know until we open it. Generally speaking, such a secret mechanism shouldn't be harmful to people. However, I haven't found any place where the jaws can be opened." Zhang Jisheng said.
Although Xiangyu was very timid, after hearing what Zhang Jisheng said, he took a step forward and observed carefully. However, after observing for a while, he found nothing new.
But at this time, Chen Mo moved. He took out a short saber from his backpack, pointed the tip of the knife at the top of the skull's head, which seemed to be the newborn's vagina, and stabbed it.
The blade of the blade actually entered the skull effortlessly.
With a "squeak", the skull's mouth opened.
We all fell silent.
After a while, nothing unusual appeared in the cave, and everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But just when everyone was about to talk, the luminous pearl on the ancient temple suddenly dimmed, and the light disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. For a moment, it was impossible to see any fingers in the cave.
"Ah..." Xiangyu screamed.
"Don't panic," this was Zhang Jisheng's voice. Although he told Xiangyu not to panic, his tone changed.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound in the cave.
The darkness around us deepened our fear, and my palms were already sweating coldly.
"Turn on the hernia lamp, why are you standing still?" came the old man's voice.
We suddenly realized it and quickly turned on the hernia lamp.
After turning on the lights, we were surprised to find that there was a suspension bridge in the cave that spanned between the platform and the ancestral hall. Under the suspension bridge was the abyss into which Wang Zhishui fell.
At the same time, we discovered that the entire cave, including the ancient temple, was covered with green moss, as if it had experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, which was completely different from the brand-new impression we had when we first entered here.
"I'll go ahead. If it's safe, you can come back."
Chen Mo said as he stepped onto the suspension bridge.
We were all waiting for him at the bridge.
The suspension bridge only had four iron cables pulling a row of connected bridge decks, and there were no guardrails on both sides. As soon as Chen Mo stood on it, the bridge shook violently. He pulled on the iron cables on one side and stood still for a while before he could maintain his balance.
He walked very slowly, stopping almost every step he took. The bridge was less than five meters long, and it felt like it would take him several minutes to walk.
Chen Mo finally crossed the bridge safely.
The old man didn't hesitate and stepped onto the bridge for the second time. He seemed to have good balance and was not frightened by the abyss under the bridge. It took about the same amount of time as Chen Mo.
It was Zhang Jisheng's turn. With the experience of the previous two people, although he walked slowly, he passed smoothly.
At this time, I suddenly looked back at the matchbox inside the skull. There was no way my father would leave the Yuchan matchbox there for no reason.
So I turned back again. Chen Mo's sharp knife was still stuck in the skull's fontanel. The skull's mouth was wide open. I quickly took out the Jade Chan matchbox.
At this time, Xiangyu had already entered the bridge and passed after a lot of trouble.
I just stepped on the first bridge plank. Unexpectedly, the bridge started to sway simultaneously with me. I hurriedly pulled the two ropes at the end of the bridge, but when I moved, the bridge moved even more violently.
Just two steps away from the end of the bridge, suddenly, the water flow underground in the abyss seemed to suddenly become faster.
I felt nervous and hurriedly grabbed the bridge lock. At this time, the jade cicada I had put in my coat pocket fell out, hit the bluestone bridge board, and broke into pieces.
Among the jade cicada fragments, there was a small piece of paper with a line of words on it. I subconsciously lowered my head to read it.
"Don't cross the bridge, there is an ancient temple..."
Before I finished reading, the note and the jade cicada fragments fell into the abyss due to the shaking of the bridge.
