When Sun Weimin heard this, he laughed and said," I say, Old Hu, this thing can be discussed. The yellow weasels aren't my relatives. If they don't cause trouble for me now, I'll be grateful."
Old Hu was very disappointed when he heard that. He continued," Then we're in trouble. It looks like we'll have to look for a needle in a haystack in such a big desert."
"Aren't we going to the Pure Brahma Water Cloud Cave on Mantuo Mountain?”Fatty asked in confusion.
"I have to go. But what if there isn't one?”Old Hu reminded.
Sun Weimin saw that there was no end to the discussion, so he immediately stopped and said," Forget it, let's go down and take a look tomorrow. Have you prepared enough things?" I think it might take a few days to get up. I heard from the locals that no one has gone down before. It's wet and cold inside, and I don't know where it leads to."
" There's no problem with the food. It's enough to eat and drink for a week. It's just that someone is going to be tired. The food must not be light." Old Hu's words had a hidden meaning. He looked at Fatty Wang with ill intentions. It seemed that he was eyeing Fatty Wang's fat.
"Go, go, go. Isn't it just carrying more things? I, Fatty Wang, am not afraid of that. Hurry up and sleep. We will set off early tomorrow. The sooner we get out, the sooner we will be done. Little Sun's father is still suffering.”Fatty was a good person, but he liked to talk nonsense. Wouldn't mentioning Kidnapper Sun at this time cause trouble for Sun Weimin?
When Sun Weimin thought of his father, how could he still fall asleep? He tossed and turned until midnight before barely falling asleep. He had barely rested for a while when Fatty Wang woke him up. Needless to say, he was going to the Pure Brahma Water Cloud Cave on Mantuo Mountain.
Lake Dalinuo was just outside the village, and the south bank was Mount Mantuo, 1364 meters above sea level. According to the History of the Yuan Dynasty,"In the 24th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1287), the Naiman tribe of the Mongol Empire rebelled. The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, led his army and personally marched through this place. On the night of Yingchang, a Buddha appeared in the sky on the peak of the mountain. It was golden, like a shadow and an illusion... So he practiced Buddhism for seven days and nights." Finally, he won the battle. In the second year of Taiding of the Yuan Dynasty (1325), the emperor's aunt, Princess Puna, the eldest princess of Princess Lu, and King Sangge Bula of Lu, were determined to build a Guanyin Hall next to the natural cave. Longxing Temple, the cave is called Jingbrahma Shuiyun Cave.
When Old Hu and the other three arrived at the cave entrance, it was already 10:00 p.m. They had walked all the way, so it was needless to say that it was hard. The four of them first had a hasty lunch at the cave entrance and then rested for more than half an hour. When they felt that their physical strength had almost recovered, they began to change into their exploration suits and turned on their headlights to go into the cave.
The entrance of the cave was more than five meters high and six meters wide. It was about six or seven meters deep. It was made of rocks and felt cool. When they reached the bottom of the cave, there was a deep and dark hole that slanted down. Old Hu used his flashlight to shine but couldn't see the end. He frowned and said," It seems like this is it. This hole is a little narrow. We can only go in one by one. Everyone, be careful. It's okay to be slow. Don't get hurt. Also," Old Hu carefully instructed the few of them what to do after they went down. After about ten minutes of nagging, he was in front, Fatty was behind, and everyone turned on their headlights and filed in.
The cave was indeed very narrow, barely enough for one person to pass through. In some places, they had to take off their military backpack first, lean sideways or climb over. The four of them walked and stopped like this, but their progress was not smooth. After more than two hours, they did not walk far. Old Hu Shuo had only walked less than a kilometer. During this period, the four of them even rested against the rock once. This was Old Hu's opinion. They were afraid that they would not have the strength to deal with any danger. In short, it was necessary to be careful.
Just like that, the four of them walked forward for more than twenty minutes before finally exiting the narrow cave. Looking around, the environment in the cave had changed greatly. It was like a natural hall, and they did not know how big it was. There were huge rocks and stalactites everywhere. They were clearly distributed in the cave. Some hung upside down from the top of the cave, and some grew at the bottom of the cave. It was very beautiful. When Old Jin saw that the terrain had changed, he immediately began to make road signs. This was the only job assigned to him. Old Hu had said that if he couldn't find a way out and was trapped inside, he would eat Jin Daya first. For this reason, Jin Daya was really afraid for a while. He always secretly read books about exploration, especially the section on how to make road signs. He had probably read it no less than a few hundred times. He was probably really afraid that Old Hu would eat him up.
While Jin Daya was making the road signs, Sun Weimin and Fatty did not idle. They began to explore the surroundings at a small distance to see if they could find a way forward. However, this natural cave was very big. They could not see the end at all, so they could only turn back. Fatty curled his lips and said, I think we're going to get lost in this cave. It's too big. Old Hu was also a little embarrassed. If it didn't work, pull the rope and let Old Jin guard here. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they couldn't find it. The four of them discussed and agreed with Old Hu's suggestion. Jin Daya guarded the entrance of the cave and looked at the rope. The other three went inside.
The rope was only 1,000 meters long, which was the maximum length that could be carried. It was made of plant fiber, which was light but strong. Old Hu had bought it at a high price. Sun Weimin and the other two grabbed the rope with their gloves and moved forward carefully. They tried not to walk in places with too many curves or rocks. They were afraid that the rope would get stuck. The surroundings were still the same. After the rocks were gone, they were still rocks. Fatty, who was leaving, had already begun to complain. Fatty said that no one would know if they died in this damn place. There was probably not even a bug to collect their corpses. When Old Hu heard this, he said,"If you want to die, you die first. If you die, we can save food and live for at least three or four more days."
Faced with Old Hu's teasing, Fatty naturally wouldn't give in and say nonchalantly. I, Fatty Wang, have Snake Empress protecting me, so I won't die so easily. On the other hand, you, Old Hu, don't even have a decent backer. You have to be careful. The two of them bickered as they walked forward, and the three of them came to an open area. The place seemed to have been specially tidied up by someone. It was very flat and there were not too many large rocks around. The ground was filled with thick and wet soil, and there was only a large square rock in the middle of the empty space. Old Hu felt that it was a little strange and said,"Has someone lived here before?" Sun Weimin and Fatty both shook their heads, thinking, How would we know?
" Let's go and take a look first." Sun Weimin urged Old Hu to lead the way.
The three of them walked to the front of the big rock and looked at it. It really looked like it was man-made. There were a total of four pieces. The largest one was like a stone bed. It was about one meter high, two meters long, and one and a half meters wide. Although it wasn't very smooth, it made sense. Beside the stone bed were three stone pillars that were made into round pillars. They were less than half a meter in diameter and half a meter in height. At first glance, they looked like stone stools.
Fatty walked around the stone bed and asked curiously,"Isn't this a bed? Who lives here?"
Old Hu also focused his attention on the stone bed. As he looked at it, he said," This doesn't look like a bed. There seems to be a painting on it."
When Old Hu mentioned this, the three of them lowered their bodies to carefully observe the stone bed. Sun Weimin looked and saw that there were indeed stone paintings. Although they were not very clear, they could still see dark blue patterns. Some were of animals, some were of humans, and there were many things that could not be seen. Anyway, they were all very regular geometric patterns.
While Old Hu and Fatty were studying the stone painting, Sun Weimin was paying attention to other things. He felt that the stone bed was very murderous. It could be said that it was full of blood. It was very likely that it was the ancient slaughter platform. The Slaughtering Platform was a place where the ancients slaughtered and dismembered their prey. It was a very strange thing. The ancients valued life and death very much. A tribe often had shamans who were responsible for slaughtering and dismembering their prey. Shamans were the embryonic form of primitive religion. They were the only people in the tribe who could communicate with God. In the past, being responsible for slaughtering and distributing food was a very grand ceremony. Shamans always prayed while performing this ceremony, and at the same time, they conveyed some information from God to the tribe. Other than shamans, no one else had the right to dismember and distribute the prey.
As Sun Weimin considered this, he explained to Old Hu and Fatty. He said unwillingly," The problem now is that I'm afraid this isn't the Slaughtering Platform, but the Life Altar."
The Life Altar could also be said to be the execution ground of the ancients. When a clansman made a mistake or a disaster occurred, a terrifying ritual would be held here to torture the living person to death. The specific methods were also very barbaric. Some were cut open and their hearts were gouged out, some were smashed by stones, some were drained of blood, and some were dismembered and eaten. There were many different methods. Sun Weimin had only heard some from his father. The ancients only wanted to convey a message by doing this. One was to worship or fear God. Reverence was to express a kind of faith and seek protection. Fear was to atone for one's sins and beg for forgiveness. For example, when a disaster or disease occurred, the ancients saw it as the anger of the gods. They all needed to offer sacrifices to the gods, and this sacrifice was naturally humans themselves.
The more Sun Weimin spoke, the more uncomfortable Old Hu felt. He subconsciously started to distance himself from the stone bed and said," Well, who cares what it is? Let's continue to find the way." It seemed that Old Hu didn't have a good impression of this thing and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Just as the three of them were about to leave, Jin Daya's scream suddenly came from afar. Old Hu! There was a ghost! Come back quickly!" Jin Daya's voice was a little irregular. It was sometimes loud and sometimes soft. He might be running for his life.
"Let's go back quickly!" Old Hu said anxiously. After saying that, he quickly rushed back along the rope. Sun Weimin and Fatty followed closely behind. Sun Weimin vaguely felt that there really was a ghost in this place, but he didn't know who it was. He thought, Trouble is coming again.
