Without going to the entrance of the cave, a spectacular picture unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, making everyone's heart full of shock.
Although it was first described by Meng Gongyun, what he saw with his own eyes was another scene. People thought that the so-called ancient buildings in such places were just a few buildings.
This is inside the mountain, and along the passage toward the underground for a long time, even if it can be dug out, build some buildings, how big can it be?
But at the first sight, everyone was wide eyed.
Outside the cave, it's incredibly spacious and tall. It's hard to imagine that there will be such a huge space in a mountain. People can't help wondering whether the whole mountain has been hollowed out with the height of hundreds of meters.
The outer ground is nearly circular, and the hollowed out space presents a huge hemispherical shape. On the surrounding cliff, whether horizontally or vertically, there is a brazier burning flame every three meters or so, which is obviously used for lighting. The brazier rises to more than 30 meters from the ground.
These dense and dazzling flames make the space extremely bright, from near to far, clear.
The water of the underground river has become shallower here, and it flows forward close to the cliff on their side, like a drainage channel. On the other side of the river, this huge building complex has been completely exposed.
The buildings are connected together, with ups and downs, which is like a small town. The houses are piled up of stones, neat, and many of them have exquisite patterns. Although the colors have been peeling off for a long time, the patterns are still very clear, which shows that the carving is extraordinary.
From west to East, from low to high, on their side, there are several rows of bungalows, gradually rising towards the distance. To the farthest position, it is a nine storey tower building.
Although these buildings are all stone, they don't look dull at all. They are polished very smooth and even reflect light under the fire.
People can not help but speed up the pace, three steps at the same time, has arrived at the entrance.
Meng Gongyun stood by the river, gaping, almost unable to see, stammering: "this, here - it's like this!"
Rong Guocheng also looked at the scene in shock. Hearing Meng Gongyun's words, he couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Meng, haven't you been here before? Isn't that the way it was when you came? "
Meng Gongyun was still staring at it, subconsciously said: "when we arrived, these lights were not lit, just with some lighting appliances, we couldn't see the whole picture here. In addition, we were in a hurry, and we didn't have a detailed study. The Jiao appeared again, so we had to run away."
Tang Feng took his eyes back from the building complex and looked at Zixuan and changsunying who were the first to enter it.
They both stood under the cliff opposite the underground river, with a look of amazement on their faces. Even Dabai beside them was stunned.
Obviously, the two of them just found the mechanism and turned on the lights in the huge cave, but they did not expect that it was so spectacular.
"It seems that a lot of people have lived here." Ji Ning's eyes were completely attracted by the scene in front of him. He couldn't take it back for a while. He looked at it and opened his mouth slowly.
Meng Gongyun said: "yes, when we came here before, we thought that there were traces of many people living here. In some houses, there were many living utensils. However, due to the rush of time, we can't study them in detail. This time, I must see all the places. Through these utensils, we can infer the age of this ancient building."
The more Meng Gongyun said, the more excited he was. His eyes were shining. In the end, he did not speak to Ji Ning any more, but encouraged himself.
What Ji Ning said, of course, didn't mean that. He didn't care what Meng Gongyun said. He still looked at the ancient buildings.
Shangguan nodded his head behind him and said, "yes, it's not like a clan here, but more like a village with many families."
Her words were obviously followed by the words before Jining.
Ji Ning also said, "um." that's what he thought.
When they first came here, they always thought that this place should be a relic of ancient monks, but now it seems that this place is more like a place where ordinary people live together. If it were not for this place and the whole building was so shocking, they would really think that this is an ordinary village.
Lin Mengjia surprised way: "Peach Blossom Land?"
This situation is very similar to that recorded in the Peach Blossom Land, but no one is still alive. Otherwise, I don't know whether they will come up to welcome them as described.
However, this kind of scene is not a beautiful picture, but a bit strange.
"Mr. Tang, let's go and have a look first." Meng Gongyun's face looked like he couldn't wait. He had been waiting for more than ten years, and finally came back here. When he saw such a panorama again, he was even more excited. He wanted to go up immediately and study every corner carefully.
Tang Feng nodded and stretched out his hand to Lin Mengjia.
Meng Gongyun immediately went to the river in high spirits, and other people also followed him. The special equipment they were wearing was waterproof. The water only reached the knee, so it was no problem to wade directly.
Shangguan hugs the little girl, while Ji Ning takes Xiaohui out of her pocket and asks Zhou Wan to hold her. The current is not deep for adults, but the two children can't make it. In addition, they are only wearing children's climbing suits, so they can't be allowed to enter the water.
As he walked, Ji Ning said to the Shangguan around him: "have you noticed that we have walked in this cave passage for a long time, and now we enter this place again. There are flames burning all around, but we don't feel the slightest sense of suffocation."
"Well," the Shangguan said, "there must be a very secret vent in the cave. The flame on the cliff is not moved by the wind, which means that the vent is not near them."
Ji Ning had a puzzled look in his eyes and said, "who on earth can build such amazing buildings in such places? Why do these people live in such a place? "
