Savage Secret

() The inside of the cave is meandering, twists and turns, uneven, and very difficult to walk. Every time you walk a certain distance, there will be branches. The cans are as old as they are, and the incompleteness eroded by the years is creepy.Sometimes two crossings join together, so I can't figure out which road is the old cow. Fortunately, those forked roads are not deep. If I make a mistake, I can turn back and go again. , It also tossed me enough, it is estimated that more than half of the time, I was going the wrong way, so I yelled at the cave: "Old cow, you son of a bitch is so fucking short-sighted, how dare you go this way?" Come in!"

After I finished cursing, the old cow responded from the depths of the cave. I didn't hear what he said, but I found a problem: I was standing in front of several caves and wandering which way to go, but I found the old cow's The sound changes in size with the pace and direction of my movement.

I slapped my forehead violently. How could I be so stupid, I didn’t think of this method earlier: sound travels through the air, and it will be weakened or disappeared when it encounters obstacles, but the sound waves of the sound will also pass through the stone cave that does not absorb the sound. The middle bend she moves forward, similar to the echo, but the conditions for the formation of the echo and the route of the sound wave are somewhat different.

While I was yelling at the old cow, I followed his voice and walked inside. To my surprise, the old cow didn’t seem to be far away from us. After only a few more holes, there was a sudden Open, the voice of the old cow is also clearer, as if it is more than ten meters in front of me.

In my imagination, the old cow should be in a predicament of half-dead now, so he used the method of yelling and making noises on the mountain wall to attract us, but after walking in, listening to his voice was full of anger , It doesn't look like he is missing an arm or a leg. If he is not injured, he should go out to find us. Why did he bring us in?

Could it be that the one who talked to me just now is not Lao Niu, but someone else?Or is the old cow not in this place at all, and everything is an illusion caused by the echo effect of the cave?

After this doubt flashed in my mind, I stopped immediately and stopped moving forward. I scanned the cave with a flashlight, and looked at the cave carefully: some light black smoke slowly rose from the bottom of the cave, and the light smoke turned into an illusion. Floating to the top of the cave, and then slowly to the bottom of the cave, as if doing a cycle.I've seen a lot of fog, it's all white, and I've never seen black before, so today is an eye-opener.The smoke is not very thick, and the light of the flashlight can pass through.Compared with the cave outside, this place is not worth mentioning. It is about two feet high and about ten meters long and wide. It is not exactly the same as the cave we walked in when we came in. The cave is hung with irregular clock Ru, and the roof of this cave seems to be flat, not only the roof, but also the surrounding walls are very neat, like a square box, but there is no trace of artificial excavation!

Before I had time to marvel at the supernatural workmanship of nature, an ominous feeling rose in my heart. Just now we followed the voice of the old cow, but now I have seen this hole again. For other exits, where is the old cow?I was thinking about whether to advance or retreat, and the old cow's voice sounded in my ear again: "Tie Yan, have you come in?"

The familiar voice is very clear, as if speaking to me in front of me!But I couldn't see anyone, as if a ghost was talking, which made me feel chilly all over.Unable to avoid it, he took a deep breath, and replied bravely: "Come in, there is a square cave in front of you, why did you come here, where are you now, what the hell are you doing?" Asked everything I wanted to ask.

Lao Niu sighed and slowly told me what happened!

At that time, we adjusted and rested in the cave and complained that the old cow didn't know the way. After hearing this, the old cow was very upset. There was a white shadow in the cave, and he didn't think much about it, and immediately ran in after the shadow. When we got to the place where we are standing now, he also stared at the black fog in the cave and considered whether to take it or not. He continued to move forward, but at this moment, when his flashlight swept across the top of the black mist, he saw a round bead the size of a bowl flashing. After careful observation, there was one on each corner of this square cave. He just wanted to get closer to see what it was, but he immediately realized that he was completely wrong. The black fog that looked very thin outside actually swallowed up the light of the flashlight. All that remains is a faint yellow dot.

Lao Niu realized that there was a problem with the black mist, so he wanted to exit the same way, but even more bizarre things happened. When he entered, he only walked a few steps, but within the distance of these few steps, he could not go back no matter what. Either he kept going around in circles, or bumped into a stone wall. No matter how he walked, he couldn't touch the opening of the cave, and he couldn't see anything clearly. He began to feel frightened. The method of hitting the rock wall with stones, hoping to attract our attention, ended up waiting for a long time before waiting for us.

Lao Niu's words gave me goosebumps all over my body, and I was secretly glad that I didn't rush in rashly, otherwise I wouldn't be like him now!

Just now I came in following the voice of the old cow, maybe he can try it too, so I said to him: "Can you judge my position now and try to come to my side?"

Unexpectedly, Lao Niu was silent for a while, and returned a message that made me very disappointed: "Tie Yan, to be honest, I heard your voice as if it floated from my head!"

I smiled bitterly and said: I am not a god, how could I be on top of your head?Does this stone cave have the effect of changing the sound effect and position?Then I looked at the cave carefully again. When I first came in, I just took a rough look at the general structure of the cave, and didn't pay much attention to it. Looking at it now, I feel that the roof of the cave is densely covered with uneven and smooth structures. These pits are not very deep, and if you don’t pay attention, you can’t see them at all. After looking at them for a long time, you feel that they are squeezed into the shape of a sky. It seems that the mystery is here, but it’s useless to see, even if it is true What's more, they are playing tricks, and I don't have the ability to climb up and paste those pits one by one.

On the four corners of the cave, as the old cow said, there is a big black bead in each bowl, inlaid about two feet from the top of the cave. When the flashlight shines directly on it, the bead does not shine. After the flashlight was removed, it shone with a fingernail-sized crystal light, a bit like the sun shining on the fish scales to reflect colorful waves. The difference is that the fish scales are colorful, while the light of the round beads in the hole There is blue and black in the middle, and it looks very strange.

Apart from the concave dome on the top of the cave and the black beads inlaid on the four corners, there is nothing else in the cave. Are these two things enough to trap the old cow?It's too outrageous, a bit like Zhuge Liang's eight formation diagrams in the past: a few broken stones can make one hundred thousand soldiers feel like they are in the clouds and mist, without a sense of direction, they can only turn around hard inside, is this stone cave There is also such a mysterious change hidden, is it another version of the eight formation diagram?This is also possible: after all, Zhuge Liang did not use the Eight Arrays first. As early as 5000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor and his general Feng Hou deduced a set of tactics that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods based on Fuxi's innate gossip, and then punished them. Committing crimes, dividing wilds and borders, setting up lawsuits, pacifying the world, and pushing primitive society to a peak. After all, Zhuge Liang is just a junior. Judging from the achievements he has made, the distance between him and his ancestors is too far!

"Tie Yan, have you figured out a way, I don't want to stay here for a while, damn, I can't see anything, if this continues, I will really go crazy?" The old cow saw that I didn't speak, There was a bit of complaint in his tone.

I can understand the old cow's mood. After being trapped in it for so long, he couldn't see anything, and even the slightest sound in the cave seemed to float down from the top of his head in his ears, which brought him endless fear.The psychological pressure and endurance test him in an unconventional way at any time. If I don't comfort him, maybe he will collapse first.

I was thinking about where to start, when the old cow's voice sounded again: "Tie Yan, why do you think they piled up so many jars in the cave?"

"Pots?" Lao Niu's words reminded me of the pottery pots I saw when I came in. At that time, I only came in to look for Lao Niu and didn't pay much attention to them. Now that Lao Niu talked about this issue, a hidden worry immediately appeared in my mind. If things are really as I remember, Lao Niu is not a good place to stay now.

The clay pots in the cave are probably related to an ancient national custom!
