Chapter 22 Exploring the Hot Cave
There are many places in the Shechang Valley where the stone walls tilt inward and were hollowed out by the old owners. We only need to erect a few wooden stakes and surround a fence to live in. Build a stove, set up a bed, and take out the things we brought.
, just like a new home.
Lin Mei was the happiest. She never thought that she could return to her hometown to live in the Shechang Valley without fog, and there were three people and a demon accompanying her. Ouyang Zhenfei was also very excited, she had never been there before
Deep in the mountains, everything felt very strange. I followed Lin Mei and kept chattering.
In order to increase the sense of crisis for the two little guys and train them to endure hardships and stand hard work, I deliberately gave a somewhat unkind order: only when there is fog during the day, you can light a fire for cooking, and when there is no fog, you are not allowed to light a fire. This is also the case.
There is a reason why the smoke will be seen by people from a distance, and the spread of the news that there is a smoke here will eventually attract the enemy.
I did not immediately accept Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei as junior brothers and junior sisters. Instead, I gave them a one-month assessment period. If they passed the basic skills test I taught them within one month, I would officially accept them. If they failed, I would officially accept them.
Don't blame me for driving people away... I won't really let them fail, I just give them a little pressure and motivation. Who said I was a teacher?
In the next few days, these two little guys gave me a headache, and I kept asking why. I remember when my master taught me, I would carry whichever one he told me to carry, and I would do whatever the master said. There were only technical discussions.
, there is no question in principle, why are there so many? Just teaching them the basic knowledge of fortune telling made me sweat profusely.
Ouyang Zhenfei asked: "Senior Brother, why do you need to use copper coins to perform the hexagram? Can I use coins? They are all money anyway."
"Because copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside, symbolizing the round sky and the square place..."
Ouyang Zhenfei looked confused: "But the earth is obviously round and not square?"
It has been said throughout the ages that the sky is round and the square is square, how can I explain it? With my head full of black threads, I racked my brains to quibble: "Well, um, the round sky and square square are a relationship between time and space. One day, two days, three hundred and sixty
The five days all refer to time. It can be seen that the sky refers to time. Time is round and goes round and round. If you don’t believe it, look at your watch! Place refers to space and dimension, which refers to all directions... In short, we must use time and
Only through space can we predict the future!"
Ouyang Zhenfei didn't react for a moment, and Ling Fengpiao asked again: "Elder brother, can you travel to ancient times or the future through this round sky?"
I got angry: "If you could put your head into the eye of a copper coin, you could travel to the Cretaceous!"
Ouyang Zhenfei snickered and asked again: "But why can we predict the future? This is unscientific!"
"Okay, let me tell you science! The human brain is a versatile machine, but there are many functions that are not fully utilized. For example, some people will have special abilities when their brains are stimulated. This means that certain areas and functions are activated.
Many functions of the brain have deteriorated due to lack of use. For example, primitive people can sense the approach of danger and
Most people in modern times cannot. When we are highly concentrated, brain waves will be emitted to the future, and we will know a piece of information code in the future, and then form the six lines of the Bagua through the magnetic field of the copper coins, and then use the relevant formulas and formulas, as well as fortune-telling
With a little subtle telepathy between the person and the person taking the test, the future can be calculated."
Ling Fengpiao interrupted again: "Senior Brother, how could the ancient people create a fortune-telling method if they didn't know there were brain waves?"
"this……"
Ouyang Zhenfei: "Sir, isn't it faster to directly stimulate the brain than to learn fortune telling? For example, let lightning strike?"
I'd rather...
After staying peacefully in the Snake Intestine Valley for ten days, my physical strength and spirit have been fully restored, and the wounds on my back have basically healed without affecting my movements. I began to be unable to sit still, so I started to pack my things and prepare to go exploring in the cave.
Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei wanted to follow them to the death, but I used the dignity of my senior brother to reprimand them before giving up. In order to prevent enemies from attacking when Lin Mei and I were away, Lin Mei climbed up the stone wall and did it on the top of the cliff.
A simple place to stay. If an enemy triggers the alarm at the entrance, Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei can climb up the ladder and hide on the cliff. When the enemy sees that the place is empty, they will think that we have left.
.
Although I am still a little worried, this is also an opportunity to train them. They live in sorrow and die in happiness, and their survival ability must be trained.
Lin Mei and I set out on the twelfth morning on the mountain. There was a big white snake blocking the cold cave, so we might not be able to pass it. The well cave had already been explored, so there was no need to explore again. The stench of the bat cave was unbearable, and it was possible that Master Zeng was inside.
Sex is minimal, so this time we chose the hot hole.
The hot cave is on the southwest side of the main peak. The entrance to the cave is actually a long gap between two huge rocks. The place you can enter is at the higher part of the gap. When I arrived, I was a little surprised because I didn't feel the heat near the cave entrance. But it didn't take long.
I knew the reason. Generally speaking, in deep caves, standing at the entrance of the cave in this kind of weather would feel cold. But now I don’t feel any air conditioning at all, but instead feel slightly stuffy. This proves that the cave is hot.
Strictly speaking, the hot cave is a constant temperature cave. It is about 30 degrees near the cave entrance. It is not hot in summer, but it will be steaming in winter. You can smell a very faint smell of sulfur when you climb to the entrance of the cave. According to my guess,
This cave is not too deep, and there is a hot spring inside, so it smells of heat and sulfur.
The masters of the Yin Yang family's earth system are actually the earliest geographers and are proficient in geography. Modern more experienced Feng Shui masters can also judge how many layers of sand there are in the caves based on the direction of the mountains, surface structure, soil and stone composition, etc.
How many layers of soil are there, what color is each layer, and how deep is it approximately.
Outsiders don’t know and think they have heavenly eyes, earthly eyes, yin and yang eyes, divine eyes and so on. In fact, this is based on exquisite geographical knowledge and is judged based on the experience taught by the ancients. Although I don’t specialize in Feng Shui and Kanyu, I know a little bit about it.
, it’s not surprising to know that there are hot springs in the cave.
After walking a few steps into the cave, Xiaoxue spoke: "Sir, I have a bad feeling, as if someone is spying on us secretly."
I immediately raised my vigilance: "Where is it, inside the cave or outside?"
Xiaoxue was a little hesitant and confused: "I don't know, this is a very strange feeling. Maybe someone is staring at us, maybe someone is thinking about us or wants to plot against us, and I have a sense of danger."
Although I don't have such a sensitive sense, I can understand this feeling. I have a big head. Does the danger come from inside the cave or outside the cave? What kind of monster is targeting us? Last time in Jingdong Xiaoxue also
I had sensed something was wrong beforehand, but I didn't pay enough attention to it, and I almost lost my life. Is there anything scarier than an insect in the hot cave?
I couldn't just give up exploring the hot cave, so I asked Xiaoxue to give me the katana. Lin Mei and I both wore helmet-type miner's lamps on our heads, but only I turned on the light. This was to save electricity, because there was no room on the mountain.
When charging, both batteries are not fully charged.
The inside of the hot cave is very steep and irregular. Strictly speaking, this section cannot be regarded as a cave, but a gap between the huge rocks in the mountain. The rocks are rugged and the terrain is complex. Some places are even tilted, making it difficult to climb. In my opinion,
He and Lin Mei's skills also progressed very slowly. At first, I thought the cave was not deep and extended downwards, but after advancing nearly a hundred meters, I changed my mind because it was very dry inside, and it didn't look like there was a hot spring, and the cave was
It extends diagonally deep into the mountain and may be very deep.
This is not a volcanic activity area. If there are no hot springs below, why is there hot air and the smell of sulfur? I actually thought of the fire dragon in Western fantasy novels. It is said that the fire dragon's body is fiery red, can spit flames, and likes to eat sulfur, saltpeter, etc. They appear
The place is always extremely hot and has a strong smell of sulfur...
"Brother, have you seen any spiders?" Lin Mei suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Yes." I stopped. I have seen small spiders at least five times since I entered the cave. I have also seen some other insects. It is normal for such a warm cave to have some insects and snakes, just like cold caves and well caves.
It's abnormal not to see bugs.
"I saw a lot of spiders, but no spiders. It smelled fishy, and there might be a lot of poisonous insects inside."
I can't smell the fishy smell Lin Mei mentioned, but I believe her judgment is correct, because she has lived in Shechang Valley for a long time and is most familiar with the smell of poisonous insects. As for the lack of spiders, it is not surprising, because it is dark inside and there are no
Flying insects, and the spiders living here have evolved to prey directly on them, without having to bear fruit.
I was a little hesitant. If there were a lot of spiders deep in the cave, it would be very annoying and scary, but which deep cave is without danger? Compared with the giant snakes in the cold cave and the ghosts in the well cave, some small spiders are nothing, and I
We must find Master Zeng, so we can only move forward.
The space in front of me was much wider. I climbed down a very steep rock and finally stepped onto the ground. I just breathed a sigh of relief, glanced down, and immediately tensed up my whole body... In the moist soil on the ground,
There are surprisingly three footprints!
The three footprints were obviously made by the bare feet of adults. Two were a little blurry, and one was complete and clear. They were about the same size, and they were all facing forward.
Lin Mei also found the footprints and asked in surprise: "Why are there human footprints here? Could it be left by Master Zeng?"
I was a little confused: "It looks very clear. If it was left decades ago, it shouldn't be so clear. There are three footprints in the same direction. These three footprints were all left when jumping from above. This proves that
He went in and out three times..."
Xiaoxue suddenly exclaimed: "No, there are a lot of spiders in front of us, go back!"
Lin Mei and I were both shocked and turned around quickly to go back the way we came. However, the place we came down was a relatively smooth stone wall with an inclination of more than 70 degrees. The last section was slightly tilted and the height reached about three meters. It was impossible to go directly.
Jump up. There is no place to hold your hand after jumping up. If you are not stable, you will fall down. Just now we have made sure that there is no danger below before jumping down. Now that there is danger suddenly, it will be difficult to turn back.
I tried twice but failed to jump up. Lin Mei tried several times but also slipped down. A large number of small spiders came from behind like a tide. I quickly hugged Lin Mei and lifted her up. Finally, I held her feet with both hands and struggled.
Throw it upward.
Chapter completed!
