Chapter 95: The Internal Space of the Mountain
"Brother, am I dreaming? How come a big stone frog suddenly appeared on the mountain wall?" Ning Xiyue widened her eyes, staring blankly at the thing that appeared on the mountain wall and asked questions.
She recognized this thing. It was a frog that was built in front of the door of a small country to guard the door. It symbolized good luck and was similar to the stone lions in front of the doors of wealthy families in China.
Ning Qingzhi did not answer. He was as surprised as the others, but more excited.
He and Gangzi walked towards the Koma frog on the cliff to check.
After checking, there was no danger. It was just an ordinary stone sculpture that did not attack. But it was unusual to appear here. The two of them were giving each other secret codes that only they could understand.
Gangzi blinked at Ning Qingzhi with excitement in his eyes.
"Brother, what do you think? How could there be such a thing on the cliff? It's too amazing. Could it be left by some powerful predecessor?"
Ning Qingyuan was the most shocked person present, and his expression was the most genuine. At the same time, seeing such a magical scene, his mind was full of beautiful guesses. He was the only one who was unaware of the twists and turns involved, and his thoughts were very simple.
"Don't talk yet."
Ning Qingzhi said this without turning his head and continued to grope the Koma frog.
"Gangzi, go find Lao Ji and come over as soon as possible."
"yes."
Gangzi ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ning Xiyue retracted her gaze after seeing the Koma frog clearly. It was obvious that the gate had not yet found its opening mechanism, and only a gatekeeper frog was open. However, the door was around that frog and it could not escape.
The most important thing now is to find the mechanism to open the door. In addition to the clues from the frog, the stone in her hand is also crucial. She has to study it while her brother is not paying attention to this and try to find the door before Comrade Ji comes.
Ning Qingyuan saw that his elder brother was too busy to pay attention to them, so he also immersed himself in studying the stone with Ning Xiyue.
"Sister, how did you open it?" Ning Qingyuan asked curiously, using the hatchet in his hand to dig the mud around the stone with Ning Xiyue.
"How would I know? I just twisted it casually." Ning Xiyue pretended not to know.
In fact, she thought that many mechanisms on TV can be opened like turning a screw, so she tried turning it casually, and she didn't expect that it could actually turn.
"Brother, I admire your luck. You can find something unique just by falling down."
The two siblings squatted together and chatted in low voices, their hands moving non-stop.
After Ning Qingzhi finished studying the Koma Frog, he already had an idea in his mind. He discovered something, and when he turned around, he saw the two little ancestors digging the most critical mechanism.
My heart was lifted up, and I ran over quickly: "Hey, you two, stop it, don't destroy it."
Ning Qingyuan was dreaming of a beautiful fantasy, but he didn't stop his hands: "No, we will be careful and only dig mud, and we won't touch any rocks."
"Yes, but be careful. You see, the bottom of this stone is quite long, as if it has grown a leg." Ning Xiyue pretended not to know anything else. He never stopped his hands and diverted his brother's attention.
Ning Qingzhi saw that the stone looked like a mushroom, with a lid on top and roots underneath. He didn't know how long the roots were. He didn't care about them digging the mud and quickly squatted down to check it out.
Of course, he didn't find out anything, so Ning Qingzhi turned his attention to checking other stones around to see if there was anything unusual.
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan, both experts in mud digging, persevered and managed to dig up the area around the mushroom-like stone, revealing a long stem underneath.
Ning Xiyue, who was lying on the ground and continuing to dig the mud, glanced inside the stone cover for some reason. Hey, what is this?
Ning Xiyue used the tip of the sickle to dig a few times at the connection between the stone cover and the pole below, removing the mud and revealing a gap. She then used the pole of a dogtail grass to clean out the remaining mud.
"Sister, have you found anything?" Ning Qingyuan paid attention to Ning Xiyue's movements, and also lay on the ground, imitating her sister and looking up, and asked in a low voice.
"We'll know soon enough."
Ning Xiyue dug out three cracks that formed a U shape, pried it with a knife, and finally pulled it off with her fingernails. It was a piece of metal, but her specific material was unclear.
"This...what is this?" Ning Qingyuan looked at the thing curiously.
"Brother, you take it."
Ning Qingyuan held the items in his hands at a loss. He wanted to call his elder brother but he saw that he was busy somewhere else, so he did not disturb him.
Ning Xiyue lay down and looked at the structure under the stone cover. After some thought, she held the stone and pressed it down.
This time the pressure worked, and the stone really pressed down like a button.
It turned out to be a fake stone.
"This, this, this..." Ning Qingyuan was stunned. He couldn't press it down before, but after taking this thing out, he could press it down. It's amazing.
“Boom…Boom…”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
The sound of falling rocks and the harsh sound of the long-sealed stone door rubbing against each other rang out, and the whole mountain seemed to be shaking.
Ning Qingyuan, who had never seen such a thing, was even more surprised.
Ning Qingzhi looked around and saw a doorway exposed on the mountain next to him. He admired his younger brother and sister's luck.
After falling, they not only discovered something unusual in the mountain, but also figured out the exact entrance. Although they didn't know if this was the place they were looking for, there was definitely something wrong here.
"Awesome, you guys are the best." Ning Qingzhi gave his younger brothers and sisters a thumbs up and said admiringly.
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan now only had the cave entrance in their eyes, and they quickly walked towards the exposed cave entrance.
"Don't go in yet." Ning Qingzhi shouted loudly and ran over quickly.
Ning Qingyuan excitedly touched the stone at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
Ning Xiyue touched the stone on the left side of the cave, took out a flashlight from her bag and shone it inside.
The three of them used the light of the flashlight to see the situation inside clearly.
The space below is huge, as if the entire mountain has been hollowed out. There are steps leading down one by one, and there seems to be a large square below. There are many different materials piled on the square. It is very messy and looks a bit like a garbage dump.
When the light was directed to the edge of the square, holes were seen. These should be rooms. The square was surrounded by holes all around, which meant there were a lot of rooms, which accommodated a huge number of Chinese people who were living a simple life at that time.
The square looks like it is divided into areas.
Ning Xiyue remembered that the check-in location was an underground laboratory, but it didn't say what kind of laboratory it was. The area was huge, so could it be a comprehensive laboratory?
When she mentioned laboratories, the first things that came to her mind were virus biological laboratories, military factories, and gunpowder depots.
Ning Qingyuan was stunned and curious about what was inside: "Brother, shall we go in and take a look?"
Ning Qingzhi patted him on the head with a big bag and said, "What are you looking at? You don't even know what the danger is. You are not allowed to enter now."
Ning Qingyuan cried out in pain.
"Awooo." Xiao Hui howled at Ning Qingzhi.
Ning Xiyue ignored them, leaned against the cave entrance and signed in.
"Sign in successfully, and you will receive a special bulletproof vest, a copy of the Palace Secret Records of Beauty and Health, and a copy of the formula for the detoxifying and miasma-removing air freshener."
At the same time, Gangzi brought Ji Yanming and others here and shouted to Ning Qingzhi at the door: "Old Ning."
