Chapter 5: Immortal Wall (II)
"The original poem is: Twelve Towers and Five Cities." He lowered his head and frowned.
"This... is there any problem?" Song Lianshi asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Xian raised his head, glanced at him, and said calmly: "Li Bai is a poet from the Tang Dynasty. And the three largest characters on the rock wall, Shenxianya, are in Qin Xiaozhuan."
Everyone's mouth opened slightly. After a long while, the thin man said, "What it means is... the Qin Dynasty carved a word here, and someone from the Tang Dynasty came here again? And changed the poem by the way?"
That doesn't make sense.
Jiang Xian now missed his real teammates very much. He knew that he had guessed right. Under the Qinling Mountains, there was a secret that no one knew. Moreover, there was a person who was buried here and left his name in history. This secret might become the most important and shocking discovery in archaeology this year... no, perhaps in the next few years!
Using the tiankeng as a cover, the true appearance gradually revealed after several thousand meters. And daring to carve the name of Shenxianya, it shows that the other party has the desire to live forever. This mentality... this kind of handwriting... If he was not sure that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was in Chang'an, the first person he would suspect was Qin Shihuang.
However... there is no one to talk to about these speculations. It is really tiring to have one god with four eyes...
No wonder TSM can’t make it to the quarterfinals every year!
"Team leader!" Suddenly, the young police officer's voice rang out again: "Here, there is another line of words!"
As he shone his flashlight over there, everyone was surprised to find that there were indeed not just one line of words, but two!
"Golden osmanthus tree in the shadow, the imperial city of Baiyujing." The words were very clear, and the hanging coffin in front of him was completely broken. Jiang Xian read it out fluently. However, after reading it out, he was stunned. His brows were furrowed again.
This is a poem from the Golden Classics. Traveling to the Immortal World by Zhang Kejiu of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yuan Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Qin Dynasty... He suddenly realized that perhaps these coffins did not belong to the Qin Dynasty.
What is hidden here?
"Do you still want to go forward?" He breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice: "My suggestion is to return immediately. Otherwise... the consequences are unpredictable."
There was a moment of silence.
At this point, the word "unbelievable" might not be enough to describe it. This has long been beyond the scope of rescue. However, Song Lianshi was the first to answer him.
"certainly!"
"We are the people's police, and this is our duty." He said calmly but firmly: "Er Ganzi's family members are crying outside, waiting for us. His relatives and friends are eagerly looking forward to our return. We are spending taxpayers' money, so of course we have to serve taxpayers."
"And this rescue is the most likely chance to save him!"
Jiang Xian instinctively wanted to refute, but in the end he said nothing.
Everyone has his own persistence. He has no right to laugh at it.
“Perhaps… they will give up when they see the difficulty.” The flashlight moved down from the rock wall and landed on the emerald green fluorescent galaxy below.
Just as he was speaking, as if in a chain reaction, the luminous plants emitted even more fluorescence.
"Down here, without my order, you can't do anything!" He turned around and swept the flashlight over everyone. He took out a roster and said in a deep voice, "From now on, we'll call the roll every 20 minutes. Now is the first time."
"Zhao Boli."
"Here!" the young policeman answered with his head held high.
"Song Lianshi."
"arrive."
"Zhao Yazhi...Puchi...I'm sorry."
“…Here.” The thin man couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said in self-abandonment, “It’s okay. You’re the one who laughs the shortest.”
"Te...Temulun?" Jiang Xian looked at the burly man at the end with some surprise. The other man shrugged: "Mongolian."
Jiang Xian retracted his gaze and looked at everyone seriously: "Remember, you must check the team members at any time. I don't want to be missing a single person while walking."
He paused: "Or, one more person."
This sentence made everyone's skin crawl. Zhao Boli swallowed his saliva and said, "Then leader, what should we do now?"
"There is only one way. Pull the rope and go down." Jiang Xian raised his chin towards the slope: "But first, put on your camouflage hat. Also, take off your vests and cover your head completely. Put on goggles and scarves. Tie up your collar and cuffs, and your whole body must be covered in camouflage uniforms!"
Zhao Yazhi glanced at the bright emerald-like light band below and said, "You are afraid..."
Jiang Xian waved his hand and said, "There are many things in this world that you don't know. Just do it. Now is not the time to dig into the details."
I miss my teammate X2.
Soon, everyone was ready according to his instructions. Like bandits about to rob, everyone got busy.
Find a fulcrum and tie a rope. Check the contents of the backpack - Jiang Xian personally asked Director Ma for the contents of this backpack to ensure that there is sufficient supply of materials for underground exploration.
It must be said that the quality of the police officers is very high. Twenty minutes later, all the team members gathered in front of Jiang Xian.
In front of them, a rope was tied to a protruding rock, hanging down to the bottom of the canyon. And just five meters behind Jiang Xian was an underground canyon that looked like the Milky Way.
"No one is allowed to shoot unless it is absolutely necessary or I don't shoot." After saying this, Jiang Xian took the lead and walked to the back, gripped the rope tightly, kicked with his legs, supported the slope, and leaped down.
With one hop after another, like a frog, he soon reached the bottom of the valley. He immediately squatted down and looked around vigilantly.
The valley floor is…very quiet.
There were countless cabbages all over the ground. There was no fluorescence at all in the valley. The fluorescence was only floating gently four or five meters above his head, reflecting a faint green light, which made people shudder.
Boom boom boom... Soon, all the teammates jumped down. Zhao Boli looked up at the top of his head in confusion and whispered, "Leader, do you feel... that there are more fluorescent lights above your head?"
"These are spores sprayed out by plants." Jiang Xian said in a low voice, "They should spray out spores as soon as they mature, and then the spore light sprayed out by the first mature plant will drive other luminous plants to start spraying. I just don't know how long this road is... Otherwise, the further you go in, the denser it will be."
At this moment, he suddenly stopped talking.
Not only him, but everyone stopped talking and stared at the endless darkness ahead.
In the darkness... a dense, rustling sound was heard, like the invisible god of death blowing the conch in his hand.
It was getting clearer and clearer... and louder! It took only a few seconds from the time they heard the dim sound to the time they heard it clearly. And... it was getting closer and closer to them!
"What the hell is this!?" Zhao Boli said hoarsely, his lips dry.
Jiang Xian shook his head. He didn't have time to talk about this now. He just stared straight ahead. His mind was spinning rapidly.
He didn't turn on the flashlight. First, the light from these luminous plants was enough to see everything in the canyon clearly, and second, the flashlight was a heat source. He didn't want to attract any light-seeking creatures.
He was sure that they didn't bring this. So...
His eyes flashed and he looked up at the long green river above his head.
Any exploration of "secrets" is a battle with heroes thousands of years ago. He knew that the unknown ancient buried here... had already started!
Three seconds later, the darkness before my eyes suddenly exploded. Just one glance at it made my scalp numb!
bat.
Endless bats! Too many to count!
"Fuck!" Temulun's eyes widened. But he was very calm and only uttered a low cry. At the same time, the black tornado flew madly above the green galaxy. Then...
Rushed down like crazy!
"Flashlight!" Jiang Xian suddenly shouted, and turned on the flashlight in his hand without hesitation. The next second, another beam of light lit up beside him.
It’s Temulun.
However, the other three people were stunned and frantically reached for the flashlight. Although the flashlight was hanging on their waists, they felt that the distance between their hands and waists was so far.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak--!" The sound of the bats was overwhelming, and all they could see were black shadows swaying wildly. Under the flashlight, the bats in front of Jiang Xian and Temulun took a half step back. Before Jiang Xian could even breathe a sigh of relief, a "bang" suddenly came from beside him.
That was the sound of a flashlight falling to the ground.
At this moment, time seemed to stretch infinitely. Jiang Xian took a breath, knowing too well how much damage a hungry bat could cause in such a situation. He turned his head as fast as he could, and then saw Zhao Boli, who looked pale.
He looked somewhat desperate, his face was pale, and his covered face kept twitching, as if he wanted to say something. His hands were shaking violently.
After all, he was still too young, and facing this great force of nature, his thinking came to a standstill.
The next moment, an endless black rainstorm, with a sky full of emerald green fluorescence, completely surrounded him!
It is like the god of death swinging his sickle, but the trajectory of the sickle brings out the bright stars. Beauty and death dance together.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Zhao Boli's scream finally rang out. More and more bats fell from the sky! In an instant, Zhao Boli was wrapped into a huge ball!
"Fuck!" Jiang Xian cursed angrily , turned around without hesitation, turned the flashlight to the maximum, and shone it towards the bat ball.
It was clear that one black bat after another was lying on top of the other, some flapping their wings and trying desperately to get in. When illuminated by the flashlight, countless bats screamed and flew away immediately.
However, Zhao Boli was wrapped in more than one layer! After shining the light on the top layer, there was also the bottom layer... Just when Jiang Xian was extremely anxious, two flashlights shone at him at the same time.
They are Song Lianshi and Zhao Yazhi.
"Help! What are you still standing there for!" Song Lianshi shouted at Temulun while shining and kicking, his eyes red.
Temulun seemed stunned by this scene. After hearing Song Lianshi's voice, he finally reacted and shone the flashlight towards Zhao Boli.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…Finally, under the illumination of four flashlights, the bats surrounding Zhao Boli screamed and flew into the sky again. Song Lianshi pulled him up: "Xiao Zhao, how are you?!"
At the same time, turn the flashlight to maximum and put it in his hand.
"Not bad..." Zhao Boli said hoarsely. But his current situation was not good at all.
His clothes were torn and had numerous small holes on them. Fortunately, he was wearing camouflage uniforms. If it was a summer T-shirt, it would have been bitten through countless holes. But even so, some places were bitten and bleeding, and there were more than a dozen of them!
"It's okay, just hold on!" Jiang Xian shouted without looking back, "Bats are afraid of strong light! Everyone, turn your flashlights to the maximum! Move forward slowly!"
