"It's too difficult to build a project in such a narrow stone road." Li Qing shook around with a flashlight. "There must be other routes."
Caiyun pulled the corner of his clothes behind him and asked in a low voice, "do you say... Will my father be here?"
"Do you wish he was there or not?"
Having not heard the answer for a long time, Li Qing smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth, turned back and patted Caiyun's small head.
At this time, the man in front suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter?" Xie Yuyan asked in a cold, impatient voice, with a slight frown on his eyebrows.
"Miss Xie, come and have a look." the old gun trembled nearby. "We seem to be here!"
"Oh? Is it finally here?" Xie YuYan's cheek did not appear the expected surprise, but showed great calm, and then walked towards the front.
Li Qing glanced at Gu Yue and found that the woman had no reaction. It seemed that she was very excited under her own heart.
"I'll have a look too." Li Qing's voice fell down and followed Xie Yuyan to the front of the team.
"Miss Xie, you see, there's a lot of space ahead." the old gun said and took a light in front of him with his hand. It's dark and can't see anything clearly.
Xie Yuyan blinked his beautiful eyes and looked up. He saw that the stone road had come to an end, and what was connected in front of it was a dark and vast space, like another world hidden underground.
Pondering for a moment, Xie Yuyan stretched out a jade hand and waved in the air: "flare."
"Yes." Hu Feng answered, took the gun from his men behind him, put the muzzle obliquely upward, and fired three flares in succession, which reflected the whole space white.
By the light of the first rise, people's eyes scanned the whole space, and even by chance, there was a sound of air-conditioning.
"It's so shocking..." Li Qing took a deep breath and it was almost difficult to calm the storm in her heart.
More than 30 meters away from the people's location, there is a huge Tiankeng with an area of seven or eight football fields and an oval shape as a whole!
"This is a miracle! A miracle!" the old gun trembled excitedly. "Who would have thought that there would be such a place in the depths of the mountain!"
Almost everyone rushed forward and almost shouted wildly. At this time, someone suddenly fell on the edge of the Tiankeng and screamed, "here..."
"Immortal ancient building!"
"It's the immortal ancient building!"
"We found it, we found the immortal ancient building!"
"Look, it's down here. It's the ancient immortal building!"
A startling cry sounded. Li Qing stared at the top of the square attic exposed under the light of the flare, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
The light of the flare gradually weakened, and Hu Feng fired two more shots into the air. With the light shining again, Li Qing stepped forward quickly, then half knelt at the edge of the cliff and looked down. Tiankeng is more than 300 meters deep, surrounded by bare cliffs, straight up and down, with almost no slope. Li Qing saw some remnants of wooden piles on the stone wall. It must be that the plank road was originally built, but later it was demolished after completion.
In the middle of the Tiankeng, above the stone platform is a magnificent ancient attic. As if to be stable, the lower three floors of the attic were made of stone like a fortress. It was not until the fourth floor that the wooden structure finally appeared, extending to the roof covered with dark cyan tiles. Some decorative things seemed to hang under the cornice of the attic. Before Li Qing could see clearly, the flare went out again.
Seeing this rumored Sifang Pavilion, Li Qing was shocked.
After thousands of years, it is incredible that the ancients could create buildings of this scale and stand up to now under the condition of extremely underdeveloped science and technology.
"There are only eight floors," Xie Yuyan said softly, standing beside Li Qing.
The body was slightly stiff. Li Qing raised his head in amazement: "what?"
"It's not the Square Pavilion with nine floors. This ancient building has only eight floors." Xie Yuyan repeated again, "nine lacks one. It's too strange."
Li Qing was still unbelievable: "did you count wrong? Hit another flare and count again?"
"How could it be wrong." Xie Yuyan sneered, turned and walked back, "rest in place, guard by shift, and prepare to go down in four hours."
Getting up from the ground, Li Qing closely followed behind Xie Yuyan: "is it because the level in ancient times was limited and it couldn't be repaired to the eighth floor? Oh, by the way, the historical data also said that King Zhou Min died before the fairy building was completed."
Xie Yuyan suddenly turned around and stared at Li Qing strangely: "are you kidding me?"
Li Qing opened his mouth. Before he could speak, Hu Feng whispered: "boss Xiao, the owner is very upset now. Can you talk later?"
There seemed to be a bad feeling in her heart, but Li Qing couldn't grasp what it was. At present, she had to nod, turn around and look for Gu Yue on the other side.
Caiyun is among the old guns, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking around. Li Qing was afraid that she might be in danger. She gave a light drink and told her to be careful. Then she went to Gu Yue and sat down.
Gu Yue leaned quietly against the stone wall, and her delicate cheeks seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, which was cold and frightening.
With a sigh of relief, Li Qing whispered, "Yuyan said that the ancient building of Zhenfan has only eight floors."
"HMM." Gu Yue answered softly.
His face was filled with a strange look. Li Qing turned his head and stared at Gu Yue's bright and beautiful side face: "you don't seem to be interested in it at all?"
"What do you mean?"
Li Qing whispered, "have you been sitting here?"
"Where do you want me to go?"
"The ancient building of Zhenfan, which has been guarded by the ancient family for nearly a thousand years, is right in front. Don't you plan to have a look?"
"I have to see it sooner or later. Why rush for a moment? I'm worried that I'll be tired of seeing too much in the future." Gu Yue replied carelessly, "What about the buildings thousands of years ago, no matter how exquisite and strong they were built? Nothing in the world can withstand the devastation of the world. It appears at a specific time and place, so you feel incredible. If the ancient Zhenfan building appears in the scenic area with tourists, will you still be shocked by it? Take a look at these people It's funny to yell... "
"You..." Li Qing hesitated for a long time, "seems to disdain here?"
The corners of the lips rose slightly, and the ancient moon asked, "shouldn't I be so? The ancestors of the ancient family have guarded things for nearly a thousand years. They are just such a cold and dead ghost building. Shouldn't I despise it!"
"Should, should." Li Qing sighed gently, supported the stone wall with one hand and stood up. He felt that he had nothing to say with Gu Yue.
Is this a dream? Why does everyone seem to have changed their original appearance since they entered here?
The rest scattered around, drinking water, eating, muttering and talking. Their words were mixed with strong excitement. The old gun's swearing voice was mixed with these almost fanatical conversations: "go to bed! Don't sleep for me! You think it's easy to climb these hundreds of meters of cliff? If you're overdrawn on the way, you can kill your monkeys!"
"What about your dog?" Li Qing stood behind Caiyun and asked softly, "it's difficult for people to go down in such a deep place, let alone a dog."
"Li Qing." Caiyun beichi bit her thin lips. Her pretty cheeks were hidden in the dark and looked very fuzzy. "Do you think my father would be down there?"
"I don't know."
"Will daddy let them go down and leave rhubarb on it, so it will run back?"
"I don't know." Li Qing blinked and stared at the thick darkness in the middle of the Tiankeng. "It's too quiet here. It's almost strange. I can't think clearly, even more."
Caiyu quietly converged on her mind, turned her head and looked at Li Qing in confusion: "what's the matter with you?"
"I just don't feel right. Caiyun, when you get down there, you must follow me closely. Do you understand?" Li Qing raised his hand and patted his forehead, and warned in a deep voice.
"I see, Li Qing, you didn't answer my question just now."
"I answered, I don't know." Li Qing sat down on the spot. The ground was cold, but it was very dry. The water in the underground river didn't seem to be conveyed here.
After a pause, Li Qing said again, "but we can analyze it."
"Analysis? How?"
Li Qing slapped the rhubarb dog in the palm, told him to run and play, and then said: "It is certain that no one else has passed this road since the stone road was sealed. Therefore, even if your father had arrived here, he must have chosen another road. Or there are other stone roads around us that we didn't notice. Or there is another road that can go straight to the bottom of the pit."
"Of course, have you considered another situation." Li Qing stared at Caiyun and slowly opened his mouth, "they have never arrived here, but died in another place."
Caiyun's charming body trembled fiercely, and the whole person was stunned there for a long time.
Li Qing smiled and waved his hand: "I just put forward a guess and said it casually, but you still have to be fully prepared. Maybe this trip is in vain."
"I..."
"Well, don't think so much. You have to eat, sleep and get enough physical strength. What you have to do next is hard work." Li Qing glanced at the rhubarb dog lying beside Caiyun. "As for this dog, you can think of a way slowly at that time. If you can't, you can find a place to tie it up first."
After an explanation, Li Qing stood up again, walked to the edge of the cliff, lowered her head and stared at the dark abyss.
