Li Huaishan looked down at the hole at his feet, swallowing saliva in his throat.
I put him aside and picked up the flashlight to shine into the hole.
Directly below the hole is a darkness that cannot be penetrated by flashlight light, but if you slightly deflect the direct light, you can see a large cluster of greasy reflections.
"Ergou, go and get the rope from the car."
I said to Li Huaishan while putting away the flashlight.
Li Huaishan asked me with wide eyes: "You want to go down?"
I nodded: "Go down and take a look at the situation.
I suspect that the Pansha Formation is not as simple as Bao Youyong said."
Li Huaishan obviously didn't agree with my impromptu idea.
He hesitated and then said to me: "Otherwise, you should discuss it with Sha Wenxiao."
"No need to discuss it with her, just go get the rope quickly."
After saying that, I stopped leaving him, raised the pickaxe, and smashed another slightly loose stone on the foundation of the dam.
Li Huaishan probably felt that he couldn't persuade me, so he didn't talk nonsense and went to the van angrily.
It's lucky to say that the workers who built the fish pond almost dug up the remains of the old dam, but they did not do anything to the roots of the dam.
If they had not buried the roots of the dam at that time, but continued to knock down the dam roots with pickaxes. , we will definitely find that there is a deep hole under the ground.
However, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the reason why the workers did not continue digging was because they were blocked by the two mercenaries.
I threw my arm away and hit it with a pickaxe several times, finally knocking off the second stone.
The hole in the ground was doubled, enough for a person to walk through.
It didn't take long for Li Huaishan to come back.
He brought the longest steel cable, three long steel nails and a hammer.
We first nailed three steel nails to the ground, and then wrapped a steel cable around the head of each nail.
We did not decide to drill the hole until we were sure that the steel cable was fixed firmly enough.
Before going down the hole, I lit a cigarette and threw it into the hole.
The wind in the cave was so strong that the cigarette butt fell less than half a meter and was swept somewhere.
Originally, I planned to follow the spark on the cigarette end to see how deep the hole was, but this time I was completely blinded.
It was because I was too inexperienced at the time that I came up with the bad idea of using cigarette butts to measure the depth of the cave.
You must know that the light on the cigarette butt is almost invisible when it is twenty meters away.
To measure the depth of the cave, you still have to rely on flares.
Li Huaishan looked at the dark entrance of the cave and smacked his lips: "It feels so deep.
Don't let us go down.
We won't be able to come up later."
I didn't answer the question and just asked him: "Are you ready with your flashlight?"
He directly handed me three flashlights: "Two on your waist and one on your hand.
If all three flashlights are almost out of power, we have to hurry up and come back."
I lifted up my coat, fastened the two flashlights on my back waist, and then grabbed the wire rope with one hand and descended into the hole.
I can hang my body steadily on the steel cable with one hand.
From time to time, I loosen the strength in my hand and let my body slide down about one meter.
Then I tighten my grip on the steel cable to reset my descent speed to zero.
But for Li Huaishan, such an action is almost impossible.
Not to mention that he can't control his own weight with just the strength of one hand.
Even the skin on his hands can be done by grinding it hard on the steel rope twice.
I can grind my bald head off.
So soon, Li Huaishan and I distanced ourselves.
I slid down one meter at a time, shaking my flashlight to illuminate the surrounding scene, while Li Huaishan moved slowly on top.
The wind in the cave went almost vertically upward, hanging on the steel cable, and the whole top was blown up by the wind.

At this time, there was bottomless darkness under my feet, and there was a sky five meters away with me as the center.
There is a circle of stone walls reflecting the greasy luster.
The depth I am at is about ten meters underground.
I have seen some words describing stalactites in the Feng Shui classics of the Chen family.
It was said above that it is almost impossible for large areas of stalactites to appear in such a shallow place. groups, it is even impossible to have large areas of rock formations.
But the stone walls that reflected the greasy sheen under the flashlight looked like carbonate rocks that had been corroded by moisture for a long time.
After descending nearly another twenty meters, there was still darkness under my feet that could not be penetrated by the light beam.
I shook my flashlight and looked around for light, and found that there was a large area on the left that was also in bottomless darkness.
There should be a very deep hole in the stone wall there.
"Ergou, where have you been?"
I first raised my head and shouted, then raised my flashlight to shine directly above.
Li Huaishan is now nearly ten meters away from me.
He is struggling to climb down.
When the light shines up, he deliberately changes his posture and blocks his eyes with his elbows.
When I pointed my flashlight at the hole in the stone wall on the left, he responded: "I'm above you."
Nonsense, do you think I won’t know about this kind of thing if you don’t tell me?
We can't continue descending for no other reason than that the length of the steel cable is only 40 meters.
No matter how we descend, we can't reach the bottom of the cave.
Now my only choice is to swing into the hole on the left.
It didn't take long for Li Huaishan to descend on top of my head.
I raised my neck and said to him: "Jump on me."
Li Huaishan's extremely shocked voice immediately came from above his head: "What do you say?
Stop making trouble, brother.
If I don't jump correctly, I will fall to death."
I suddenly became a little impatient: "I'm right below you, how could you not be able to dance quickly?"
After saying that, I bit the flashlight in my mouth.
Li Huaishan didn't move or speak for a long time, but just when I was thinking about whether to urge him again, the steel cable suddenly shook violently and Li Huaishan came down.
This guy was probably too nervous.
He moved a lot when he fell.
Either his elbow hit the wire rope or his leg kicked on the wire rope.
Now we are thirty meters underground, where the steel cables will sway as long as they are impacted.
At that time, the steel cable was swinging back and forth with an amplitude of about one meter.
When Li Huaishan fell, I happened to be swayed away along with the steel cable, and he almost touched my shoulder and fell down.
Because there was light on my side, Li Huaishan knew clearly that he had passed me by, and he immediately screamed at the top of his lungs.
But before the scream could be completed, I had already reached out and grabbed his arm.
Li Huaishan raised his head and stared at me, shouting: "Don't let go, don't let go."
I rolled my eyes at him and thought to myself, you are so nervous.
With your weight of about 100 kilograms, I can still let you slide down.
Because there was a flashlight in his mouth, these words could only go through the motions in his mind, and it was impossible to say them out.
Before Li Huaishan could recover from his shock, my back began to exert force, causing the entire steel cable to swing even more.
Li Huaishan's shouts became even harsher: "If not, what are you going to do?"
I ignored him and continued swinging.
As the steel cable swayed more and more, when the steel cable swayed to the extreme point on the left, I finally used the light to see clearly what was going on inside the hole.
This hole is relatively spacious.
The diameter of the entrance is about three meters.

There is a tunnel connected to the hole.
The ground in the tunnel is relatively flat and is probably paved with stone bricks.
When the steel cable swung toward the left pole again, I saw the opportunity and shouted to Li Huaishan: "Protect your head!"
The moment I finished speaking, I quickly threw Li Huaishan into the hole.
Although Li Huaishan was frightened, he still hugged his head in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a muffled "bang" from the entrance of the cave.
It was obvious that Li Huaishan had landed.
Next, I shook the cable again, and when the cable approached the left pole for the last time, I let go and flew into the hole with inertia.
The moisture in the cave was heavier than outside, and the floor of the tunnel was also very slippery.
When I landed, I lost my footing and fell on my back like a bastard.
Even the flashlight in my mouth was shaken and fell far away.
Li Huaishan walked up to me, rubbing his arms, and said complainingly: "Can you tell me in advance next time you do something like this?
I thought I was going to die just now."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again and pulled me up from the ground.
I took two steps back, picked up the flashlight on the ground, and shined it towards the outside of the hole.
The steel cable not far away was still blocking me.
I estimated the distance between us and the steel cable.
If we kept If it doesn't move, we should still be able to use it to get out of this place.
Seeing that I didn't respond to him, Li Huaishan started making noises behind me again: "If not, I'm talking to you."
I turned around and lit the light deeper into the tunnel: "Have you ever felt that there is an uncomfortable atmosphere everywhere in this crypt?"
Li Huaishan: "Don't change the topic."
I interrupted him midway: "It's best not to talk in a place like this, to be careful of evil spirits entering your body."
Li Huaishan opened his mouth again, but after a while, he closed it unhappily.
I have told him a long time ago that his cultivation level is too low and he has no evil energy to protect his body.
It is best not to speak in such an environment where the Qi field is stagnant, but why does he not have a long memory?
After that, I walked deeper into the tunnel with my flashlight.
Li Huaishan also took out his flashlight and followed me forward while shaking the flashlight to shine light around me.
Except that the ground is flat, the shape of this tunnel is very close to a regular circle.
At first glance, it looks like it was built artificially.
However, on the curved walls, there are many stalactites similar to round stalactites.
Stone tumors appear to be naturally occurring.
Even this flat ground is not paved with stone bricks, but formed in one piece.
Let alone in ancient times, even with modern technology, it seems difficult to build such a large flat ground that can go straight to the bottom of the tunnel. stone bricks.
After walking for about two minutes, a three-meter-high stone temple appeared in front of us.
Through the pale white flashlight, it can be clearly seen that it is a building similar to the Earth Temple.
However, the walls and roof of this temple are covered with a large number of natural stone tumors, making it difficult to identify it.
Is it a human arm or a miraculous work of nature?
