When I woke up, I didn’t know how much time had passed. The surrounding area was gray, and the wind from nowhere carried water vapor and kept pouring into my clothes, making me feel chilly. I shook my head,
I'm a little confused, I can't seem to remember why I am here.
After I lowered my head and saw the snake-like scales floating on my skin, I woke up instantly as if I had been poured cold water on my head.
I was not thrown to death. It was a terrible fate.
After confirming that there were no fractures or serious internal injuries on my body, I struggled to sit up and observed the situation around me.
The wooden kite had been smashed to pieces, and pieces of wood were scattered around me. The mobile phone had been damaged by water and could not be used, but the hernia lamp was still strong. When I turned it on, there was still strong light coming out. In the backpack
The drinking water was also provided by Zhang Jisheng. After rummaging for a long time, I only found a few compressed biscuits with original packaging that had not been soaked.
It’s really a desperate situation to find a way out!
I stood up and turned on the xenon lamp and looked around. Oh my God, outside the waterfall, it was white and full of water.
The palace is gone!
Are they submerged by the water in the underground river? Then where are my teammates?
"Chen Mo," I shouted subconsciously, but my voice was instantly drowned in the sound of rolling water, and even I couldn't hear it clearly.
At this time, I realized that I had just been lying on the foundation of the ancient pagoda. The strange thing is that when we just stood at the entrance of the palace, the foundation of the ancient pagoda and the foundation of the palace should be on the same level, but now the palace is
Although it was submerged, why does the foundation of the ancient pagoda still stand on the water?
The water that penetrated the rock formations poured down from the top of the tower continuously, and the water vapor kept splashing on my body. I couldn't think too much and hurriedly hid in the tower to avoid the water.
I took a rough look and found that most of the structure of the ancient pagoda is embedded in the mountain. The top of the pagoda cannot be seen from the outside. The building that can be seen from the outside is about forty or fifty meters high. It is currently impossible to estimate its bottom floor.
How big is the area? The most incredible thing is that this is actually a wooden tower with a pure wooden structure.
It is really a miracle that a wooden tower can be preserved intact in such strong water vapor.
Standing under the wooden pagoda and observing, the ancient pagoda is not wrapped by the mountain. The building has about five floors and six eaves. Each floor is supported by two rings of wooden columns inside and outside. There are wind chimes under the eaves of each floor, but the volume is larger than the normal wind chimes.
It's much bigger, and it feels like it's as big as a bronze bell.
Before we entered the ancient temple, the faint bells we heard while standing under the waterfall that evening were probably coming from the wind chimes under the eaves.
After looking at the structure of the tower exposed outside the mountain, I was no longer sure whether the place I was standing on was the bottom floor of the wooden tower. It seemed that every floor of the tower opened in the direction of the hall.
It looks like a door.
I was so uncomfortable being splashed by tiny water droplets that I didn't even bother to observe the ancient pagoda anymore. I pushed open the pagoda door and walked inside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my feet were empty, my whole body leaned forward and was about to fall.
At this time, I had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hurriedly grabbed the copper door knocker of the tower door to prevent it from falling.
My body swayed in the air as the tower door swayed, and the hernia lamp fell straight down instead of me. The light source continued to become smaller, and then with a "pop", the light source disappeared.
I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat. I estimated that it took about ten seconds for the hernia lamp to fall. Using physical formulas to calculate it, my current position should be three to four hundred meters from the bottom of the tower.
Thinking of this, my heart beat faster, my hand slipped, and I almost lost my grip on the door leaf and fell.
Now there are no more xenon lamps. In this pitch-black ancient pagoda, it is impossible to go up or down. We are really at the end of our rope.
I tried several times to hook the tower wall with my feet, and then reuse the gravity of my body to close the tower door again, so that I could climb back to the foundation, but my arm strength was not good enough. I tried twice and it failed both times.
I almost fell, I was so scared that I was sweating profusely and my hands were weak.
The entire ancient pagoda has a mortise and tenon structure. As the tower door kept shaking with my body, I felt that the mortise and tenon joints had become loose, and it looked a bit shaky.
My whole body was tense, but there was nothing I could do. This feeling of waiting for death was more terrifying than death.
I began to regret again. I regretted that I didn't listen to my grandfather and insisted on going into this muddy water. As a result, I lost my life. I thought about my grandparents, my father and my mother, and the tenons on the top of the tower door were already supported.
Unable to hold on any longer, it fell off from my eyes and threw me away in a quarter-circle arc in the air.
"Ah...ah..."
My ghostly screams echoed in the empty wooden tower.
I have to marvel at the huge potential of human beings, so great that it is beyond your imagination. My strong sense of survival allowed me to hold on to the copper door knocker tightly at the moment the tower door was thrown away, without being thrown out by it.
I moved my hands to a different position and slowly stopped my body that was still swinging in mid-air.
My eyes had probably adapted to the darkness. While I was gasping for air, I vaguely saw what seemed to be a huge pillar in the center of the wooden tower, with a spiral staircase hovering above the pillar.
There is really no end to the sky. If you can climb this staircase, then if you go up the stairs, you might be able to reach the ground.
I know that I still have the nylon rope that took us out in the mangrove in my backpack. If I tie the nylon rope to the door knocker and I pull the rope and swing over, I will have a chance to climb the stairs. Of course,
The risk is also very high.
However, I don't have the time or energy to think too much. As long as there is a chance of survival, I will give it a try.
I tried to let myself use one hand to pull down the nylon rope from the backpack.
At this time, I really have to thank my late-stage lazy cancer. At that time, for convenience, I just randomly rolled the nylon rope into a ball and stuffed it on the grid on the side of the backpack, so now I can’t pull the rope out.
A lot of effort.
I bit the rope, tied several knots on the door knocker with one hand, recited many Bodhisattva blessings, and then slid down the rope.
I probably slid down five or six meters. I guessed that this distance should be enough, so I wrapped the remaining rope around my hand, and then tried to swing to the wooden ladder.
However, it is easier said than done. I tried many times, but the rope seemed to be against me, either floating in the opposite direction or spinning in circles.
Suddenly there was a "squeak", and I thought to myself that the other holes in the door leaf must have been unable to hold up and were about to fall off. If it fell from such a high place, it would definitely be shattered to pieces.
At this time, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing me and the rope above my head close to the tower wall. I had an idea, tightened the rope with both hands, kicked off the tower wall with my feet, and the inertia finally pushed me
I sent it towards the wooden ladder.
However, the mutual force may have been too great, and the only remaining eye on the door leaf fell off at this time. Gravity caused the door leaf to fall down, along with my person.
