Li Rui and Xie Duzhong hurriedly tried to help. However, the rock was extremely heavy and fit perfectly into the cave wall. They couldn't pull it out no matter how many times they tried.
After some discussion, the three of them stood up and began to take turns to stomp on the rock. More and more pieces of rock fell down from the crack. In the end, the rock completely separated from the cave wall, revealing a palm-sized crack. It was pitch-black inside, and nothing could be seen. When they put their hands on it, a chilly wind blew past them. When they put their noses to it, they smelled a damp, cold, and gloomy smell.
"Haha, found it, found it, haha, haha …"
Long Baoyu laughed wildly as if he had won 50 million in the lottery. Li Rui quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't get too excited, it might not be the case. Let's pull the rock out first. "
Because this rock was located at the corner between the two walls, and it was also close to the ground, there was not a lot of space. Therefore, this time only Li Rui and Long Baoyu were working. Xie Duzhong stepped aside. The two of them held the rock on the left and right. With a shout, each of them exerted their strength and pulled the rock out. It weighed about 50 kilograms, which was already a terrifying weight. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to move it.
What was even more amazing was that this rock was divided into two parts. The outer part was the uneven and full of edges that Li Rui and the others saw, pretending to be the cave wall. The inner part was like a plug, tightly blocking the cave. It actually fit perfectly with the entrance of the cave, without the slightest gap. It could be said to be a natural fit. If it weren't for Li Rui kicking, the crack wouldn't have appeared. Li Rui even suspected that the rock was the entrance to the cave inside.
After the rock was put aside, a dark cave entrance appeared at the bottom of the cave wall. It was less than a meter wide and less than 30 centimeters high. It was embedded at the bottom of the cave wall, like a giant mouth that was about to devour people. It made people feel cold all over and uneasy for no reason. A cold wind blew from the cave entrance, with a cold and moldy smell. Listening carefully, there was no sound in the cave.
Long Baoyu turned on the flashlight on her phone and shone it inside. She couldn't see anything. She could only vaguely see fog, as if there was a bottomless abyss inside.
The five of them were at a loss of what to do in the face of this unknown cave. They looked at each other, and no one said a word. Originally, he had thought that this was a treasure trove, but at this moment, most of his excitement and joy had disappeared. After all, the cave's appearance was really strange. It was frightening, and they couldn't figure out what was inside. Subconsciously, they felt a sense of danger. Even with the temptation of Buddha's sarira, their lives were more important. Therefore, no one dared to act rashly, and they didn't know how to act.
After a long time, Long Baoyu suddenly said, "Could it be that we've made a mistake? Is this not the place where Buddha's sarira is hidden?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "We still don't know what's inside, so we can't jump to conclusions."
Long Baoyu continued, "Then how do we know what's inside? This … this is a place for people to crawl in. "
The cave entrance was indeed barely big enough for a person to crawl in. Moreover, because the height was too low, it was almost close to the ground, so they could only crawl in bit by bit. If they were too fast, they might even hit their heads. But who knew what was going on inside? Was it a flat ground or an abyss? Was it safe or dangerous? If it was safe, it wouldn't be a problem to crawl in. But if there were hidden dangers inside, such as information hidden inside, then it would be dangerous to just crawl in.
Long Baoyu said, "Do you want me to crawl in and take a look?"
Li Rui was shocked. Good lord, this Young Master Long's identity was super precious. Even the former boss of Tang Su, Du Xiaolei, could only look up to him. This time, he came all the way from the capital to play with him. Li Rui had to do his best to ensure his safety. If something happened to him, even ten of him wouldn't be enough. He hurriedly stopped this bold fool, "We still don't know what's inside, don't go in rashly!"
Long Baoyu rolled his eyes and had an idea. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the cave entrance with force.
Li Rui guessed his intention. He wanted to determine the depth of the cave through the movement of the stone. He quickly cooperated and quickly went to the cave entrance to listen.
Long Baoyu asked, "How is it? Did you hear the movement?"
Li Rui raised his head and said to him, "It should be flat ground inside, and it's very long. The stone rolled a few meters on the ground after it was thrown in."
Long Baoyu said happily, "Then it's safe? We can crawl in?! "
Li Rui thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then I'll crawl in and take a look. It wasn't easy for us to find such a cave, so we can't back out at the last minute. No matter if it's a treasure cave or some other cave, since we found it, we must find out the truth of it. "
Long Baoyu shouted, "Okay, you go in first, I'll follow!"
Li Rui was afraid that something would happen to him, and said, "You'd better not go in, wait for my news outside."
Long Baoyu shook his head like a rattle-drum, and said, "How can I do that? Aren't we brothers? If you go in, I won't go in. You don't need to say anything, even I look down on myself, I must go in. "
Li Rui saw that he was determined to go in, and didn't want to stop him, so he said, "You can go in, but don't run around after you go in, and don't walk in front of me. Listen to my orders, if there's any danger, run back immediately."
Long Baoyu said impatiently, "I know, I know, I know, when did you become such a mother?"
Xie Duzhong smiled, and said, "Then I'll go in third."
Lin Meidian raised her hand, and said, "I want to go in and broaden my horizons, I've never seen such an interesting cave."
Daina shook her head, and said, "You don't have to go in and broaden your horizons, you stay outside, I'll go in and take a look."
Lin Meidian said, "Why can you go in, but I can't?"
Daina said, "Because I've crawled into similar caves before, I have experience."
Everyone looked at her, and Long Baoyu said, "What experience do you have?"
Daina said with assurance, "I've crawled into caves in Guangxi and Vietnam, many of which are for military use. If you want to crawl into a cave like this, you have to crawl in backwards with your feet behind your head. The terrain inside is very likely to go all the way down, and there's even an observation platform right below the entrance. If you crawl in with your head first, you won't be able to stand up straight easily, and if it's serious, you might fall off the platform and die. Also, you don't seem to have thought about what to use for light after you go in. Don't tell me you're going to use your phone's flash, this light source is almost useless in a cave. "
Long Baoyu sighed, and said, "You know so much! What do you do? "
Daina ignored his question, and said to Li Rui, "You have to go out and look for materials to make torches, the materials are very simple. A tree branch the length of an arm, with a ten-centimeter deep cross on one end, and then collect small pine branches, evenly stick them in the cross, and fill the middle with pine oil. After it's made, it can be lit for about half an hour, so you have to prepare three torches."
Li Rui said, "There are pine trees everywhere on this mountain, so it's easy to make torches, but we don't seem to have a fire, so how do we light them?"
Daina said, "You don't have to worry about that, I have a fire."
Li Rui nodded, and led Long Baoyu and Xie Duzhong out of the cave to look for materials to make torches. There were materials everywhere, but pine oil was not easy to find, but after searching for half an hour, they found a lot, and quickly made three simple torches, and returned to the cave.
Daina took over the temporary command, and said, "There's wind in the cave, which means the air is flowing, so we don't have to worry about poisonous or moldy gas in the cave, so we can wait until we get into the cave before we light the torches. You guys go in one by one, and I'll go in last. We don't need to go too deep, and when we can stand, we'll find a spacious place to meet, and wait for me to light the torches. Go in! "
Li Rui agreed, and crawled into the cave with his feet first and his head behind him. The entrance of the cave was too low and narrow, and when he crawled into the cave, it was as if he was drilling into the mountain rock, which made Li Ruixin very uncomfortable. Especially when his upper body began to crawl into the cave, he felt that the mountain rock was close to his back, and he had to crawl on the ground with all his strength to not be scratched, which made him very uncomfortable. When his head crawled into the cave, he felt an enormous pressure, which made his heart beat faster, and he became nervous for no reason.
He rarely felt so depressed, and had to stop for a while to adapt to the atmosphere before he continued to crawl in. Suddenly, his feet sank, and he was already off the ground, and he was suspended in the air. His heart skipped a beat, and he slowed down, feeling the pressure as he crawled in. After crawling for about half a meter, his feet finally touched the ground, and he shouted, "There's a platform inside, but it's not high."
Long Baoyu, who was at the entrance of the cave, praised, "Daina is so experienced. If it were me, I would have to crawl to the side of the platform and use my hands instead of my feet to walk, or I would have to crawl on the ground and eat shit, and then get up."
Xie Duzhong frowned and said, "If there's a platform, it means that this cave was dug by someone. But why did they dig a cave with a platform in such a mountain? Is it just to worship Buddha's sarira? "
Before entering the cave, no one could answer this question. Everyone stared at Li Rui with wide eyes as he entered the cave.
After Li Rui left the platform and stood in the cave, he felt the pressure brought by the endless darkness. He tried to suppress the fear in his heart, and shouted, "Baoyu, don't come in first, I'll explore the way first." Then he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flash.
Long Baoyu knew that he was going to get rid of the danger for her. Although she didn't say anything, she remembered his kindness.
Daina squatted down and shouted into the cave, "Don't wander around, wait for me to go in first."
Li Rui's laughter came from inside, "You shouldn't be so concerned about me, right?"
