Chapter 326 Mysterious Footprints [1]
Looking at William, Jack said with a solemn look: "William, the First Emperor's Mausoleum is full of crisis. You must listen to my arrangements at that time, otherwise you and I will not even think about walking out of the First Emperor's Mausoleum alive."
William nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will listen to you at that time. Do whatever you want. This will be fine."
He looked at William helplessly, and Jack said, "When I prepare for a little, we will fly to Lintong."
William said with some excitement: "If you have anything to do, just say it."
Three days later, two figures appeared at the foot of Mount Li.
Mount Li is famous for its Mausoleum of the First Emperor and has beautiful scenery and has been developed by the local government as a scenic tourist attraction.
So when William and Jack appeared in Mount Li with their backpacks on their backpacks, it was not conspicuous among many tourists.
Almost ninety percent of tourists coming to Mount Li come for Mount Li itself. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people come for the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
However, the location of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor has been almost explored, so the protection has been increased. It is not so easy for ordinary people to approach the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Even if they can get close to it, they will be targeted by others.
Jack and William mixed in the crowd and walked around Mount Li, only complaining to death.
In the evening, in the hotel, William rubbed his numb calves while saying to Jack: "Jack, you can't fool me, we ran all over the mountains and fields for a day and lost half of our lives, but we didn't see the ghost shadow in the First Emperor's Mausoleum."
Seeing William complaining there, Jack now draws the direction of Mount Li that he saw during the day with his memory.
William came over, looked at the mountain map drawn by Jack, and slapped his head and said, "Hey, this looks a bit familiar, it seems...it seems to be the Mount Li we see today."
Jack stared at the mountain map, as if he was looking for something. After a while, his eyes lit up. Then he said to William: "You think I have been here, let me come to Mount Li and immediately find the entrance to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. I am not the ancestor of my family. You must know that I have just read a few notes left by my ancestor. If you want to find the entrance, you must conduct a survey by yourself."
William said with embarrassment on his face: "That's nature, that's nature, but after a day, are there any gains?"
Jack pointed to the mountain map he drew and said, "If the notes left by our ancestors are not wrong, then the entrance to the underground palace should be here."
William stared at the drawing, narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey, this... isn't this Qianlong Pond?"
Jack smiled slightly and said, "It's this."
After saying this, Jack no longer paid attention to William's question and said no more about how to enter the underground palace. In the end, William could only look depressed and no longer ask the bottom line.
After resting for a night, early in the morning, the two of them were in high spirits. Jack drove to buy two sets of waterproof suits, and then appeared in Qianlongtan with William.
Qianlongtan is located in the back mountain of Mount Li, and is located remotely. A waterfall that is not very large flows down. The entire deep pool is only a few miles in a radius.
It is simply because this place is the only one in Mount Li, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is rare to travel. The surrounding jungle is dense, so even Jack and William are very tired to find out here.
Sitting by the Qianlong Pond, William was washing his face and Jack was watching around with a solemn face, as if looking for the entrance he had obtained from his ancestors.
Suddenly, Jack's eyes lit up at the waterfall that was rushing down, and then he called William to change into a waterproof suit.
The two of them wade through the water and gradually approached the waterfall. The rumbling sound of water was deafening. William was shaking by the impact of the water. He shouted loudly at Jack: "Jack, where is Jack? If you move forward, you will be a cliff. There is no entrance at all."
He staggered under his feet, and the turbulent water almost washed away William, but Jack grabbed him and tried hard to stabilize his body. Soon, Jack took out a crossbow machine. With a soothing sound, the black steel arrow passed through the waterfall with an iron chain and penetrated into the cliff.
After throwing away the crossbow machine, Jack pulled the iron chain in his hand, sure that it was fixed. Then he said to William who was a little stunned: "William, you wait here first. I'll go up and check it. When I give you instructions, you can go up again."
After saying that, Jack quickly climbed up with the help of the iron chain, and his whole body quickly disappeared into the waterfall.
After passing through the waterfall, what appeared in front of Jack was a dim cliff. There was nothing to see on the bare cliff, especially the dark one. Coupled with the impact of the waterfall that was close to him, it made people think they were in the darkness of hell.
Turn on the searchlight above your head, and a powerful beam of light shone on the cliff in front. According to the records left by our ancestors, the entrance to the underground palace is on the cliff behind the waterfall, but the entrance is very narrow and it is impossible to find it without careful observation and searching.
Just looking at the dark surroundings, you can understand why not many people can discover the secret behind this waterfall. Under normal circumstances, who would run to this wilderness and cross the waterfall without any trouble?
Besides, even by chance, someone really passed through the waterfall, but it was dark, and no one could notice a small hole that was only half a person high above the cliff.
Those who can find this cave entrance, unless they are lucky people who appear directly at the entrance, or they are like Jack, who knows the location of this entrance in advance and come to the entrance of the cave entrance.
The searchlight swept across the cliff, and not long after, a hole covered by water plants appeared in sight.
There are water plants growing between some rock cracks on the cliffs. If you don’t look for them little by little, it is really difficult to find them.
However, the height of the hole was about several feet high from Jack's location, almost as high as five or six floors. The cliff was wet and slippery, and it was covered with moss, water plants, and even standing there would slip, let alone climb upwards.
He pulled the iron rope and signaled William to come up, while Jack stared at the hole more than ten meters high to think about how to climb up.
Not long after, William was tired and panting and climbing up with the iron rope. When he saw Jack, William shouted: "I'm so tired, I'm really tired, Jack, where is the entrance? Have you found the entrance?"
Jack shone the searchlight towards the hole. William's eyes lit up when he saw this, but he quickly said, "Why is it still so high? How can we get up?"
Ignoring William, Jack took out the flashlight and searched for a place to settle on the cliff. At the moment, there seemed to be no better way than climbing up with bare hands.
"Huh"
Suddenly, William, who was sitting beside him, pointed at the cliff and said in surprise: "Jack, what is that."
The flashlight in William's hand was facing a place above the cliff, and that place was a very obvious groove.
The two approached carefully and faced the flashlight. They saw that the groove was not big, just the size of a human foot. It looked like the traces left by someone stepping on the cliff.
"This...it looks a bit like footprints!"
William muttered a little astonished.
Jack's expression changed slightly, he reached forward and pulled away the moss near the groove. Finally, he showed a solemn look on his face and said, "It doesn't seem like, this is footprint."
William couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Okay, Jack, don't talk nonsense. How could this be a footprint? You think that person is a god. You can leave a footprint even if you step on the cliff. Then he has become a Superman?"
Jack shone the searchlight upwards, and soon another footprint-shaped groove appeared not far above, and William also clearly saw the footprint-shaped groove. He swallowed the words he originally made fun of Jack.
Carefully take out the steel nail as thick as a thumb, smash it into the cliff with a jingle, then tie the safety rope to your body, and climb up little by little.
Although it was only a few meters away, the cliff was covered with wet moss, which almost slipped down several times, and only William below exclaimed.
He reached out to grab the footprint above and used force hard. Finally, he used the footprint to stabilize his body, and then smashed a steel nail into the cliff again.
At this time, William carefully climbed up along the rope that Jack had dropped, but William's eyes fell on the footprint groove.
The two stared at the footprint groove and compared it with a solemn look on their faces. Now the two were completely sure that these footprints that were almost the same were definitely not naturally generated, but caused by external forces.
However, who can leave such deep footprints on this extremely hard cliff?
With such foot strength, I am afraid that if I kicked the body, an elephant could be killed on the spot.
William suddenly said, "Look for it quickly, is there any more on it?"
The two of them searched carefully with flashlights. Sure enough, there were indeed three or four footprint-shaped grooves on it, and they did not disappear until the entrance of the hole.
Looking at the series of footprint grooves, the two of them could imagine a picture in their minds. One day, someone entered here and headed straight to the entrance of the underground palace. However, the other party was not as embarrassed as them, and they stepped on the cliff directly. This was completely the legendary flying eaves and walls.
Suddenly, Jack's head hurts, his eyes are blurred, and scenes flashed through his mind. It turned out to be the scene of the two fighting. In this scene, one of them was Meng Yi and the other was Fang Xiaoyu. The two fought, from the sky to the ground, flying eaves and walls, rocks penetrated through the sky, and the huge rocks were shattered when they fought.
