Since I come from a family of geological exploration and often travel to mining areas after work, I often have a special liking for adventure stories about the underground world.
The science fiction novelist Jules Verne has a great and irreplaceable status in my mind.
He used his unique writing style and profound scientific vision to write more than 20 science fiction novels.
Among them, my favorite is undoubtedly his imagination Journey to the Center of the Earth is the most powerful work.
This story tells the story of a professor who accidentally got a piece of parchment in an ancient book and discovered that predecessors had traveled to the center of the earth.
The professor decided to make the same trip.
He and his nephew set out from Hamburg and hired a guide in Iceland.
The expedition team followed the guidance of predecessors and descended from a volcanic crater in Iceland.
They experienced hardships and wonders on the way, and experienced various dangers such as getting lost, lack of water, and prehistoric creatures.
He also made amazing discoveries such as the underground sea and prehistoric human bones.
After three months of travel, he finally returned to the surface.
Such bizarre and thrilling legends often existed in ancient China.
It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a strong earthquake occurred near Luoyang.
A village fell underground.
Only one man named Wang Yuan escaped alive in the whole village.
The experience can be called "Chinese version of Odyssey to the Center of the Earth".
It is said that this Wang Yuan Tongxuan is a Taoist who practices Qi.
He was sleeping at home when the earth broke apart and the village collapsed.
When the village first collapsed, the whole village was still intact.
The villagers could still shout for help and hear each other, but they fell into the deep spring.
On this occasion, all the men, women, chickens and dogs in the village were He drowned.
Only Wang Yuan, who was good at the art of physical training, could survive in the sea.
He fell to the ground and was taken to a vast and endless underground world by the current.
Suddenly, he saw a strange python looking down, with black mucus flowing out of its mouth. , hanging like a pillar, frightened him into hurriedly running away.
Wang Yuan walked along the underground caves and saw several large ancient cities with continuous palaces.
The people living in the cities were all over ten feet tall.
A giant heard about Wang Yuan's experience and showed him a way out.
Wang Yuan followed his instructions and walked an unknown number of miles.
He was so hungry that he could no longer walk.
He felt something soft and dusty on the ground, but there was a smell of bran rice.
He was so hungry that he grabbed a few handfuls.
He stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.
It was very sweet and it really relieved his hunger.
He used it to survive and walked underground for three years before coming out.
After coming back, I told this experience to a knowledgeable veteran.
After hearing this, the old Taoist told Wang Yuan that there were nine ancient cities underground, all under the Kunlun Mountains, and they were called Jiuguan.
The tall giants in the cities were Earth Immortals.
The black mucus is the saliva vomited by the old dragon under the Yellow River.
Eating it can make you immortal.
The dust is the mud formed by the weathering of ambergris.
No matter how much you eat, it is just to satisfy your hunger
