Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 155 Karst Cave and Hot Spring

The collapsed rocks lay across the field, countless trees were broken, and the birds lost their footholds, flying and hovering in the sky.

From behind a mountain depression, Chen Yu stepped forward and landed on the ground lightly.

The thick soil layer bulged into pieces, like long snakes crawling on the ground, twisting and twisting, silting up in front of the eyes.

After crossing the mountain pass and coming to the subsidence, what comes into view is a large bay of tiankeng, and half of the towering mountains leaning against the tiankeng.

Indeed, there is only half of it left, erected in a corner of the mountain forest, and it seems to have been sliced ​​by a sharp knife, cutting half of it.

Looking around, the other low hills were either covered by sand and swallowed up, or they followed suit and collapsed together in the torrential rain, making this area look particularly chaotic at the moment, with broken rocks and broken trees everywhere.

Pulling away the roots of the trees in front of you, the ancient trees that were planted upside down on the ground have no vitality at this moment, and only a cluster of branches and leaves hanging outside the earth and rocks are also withered and yellow, hanging down, looking crumbling.

Walking along the rocks on the edge of the mountain depression, this huge mountain collapsed completely, nearly half fell off, and the remaining half exposed all kinds of things inside that had never been seen by outsiders to the sky.

Of course, there is nothing to see in reality except earth and rocks, but Chen Yu enjoys it, just like in the previous life when he was a child with his partner and a small shovel in his hand struggling to dig the earthy yellow rock wall, always thinking about what he could dig out, and every time someone dug When you see some stone flakes with strange textures, such as round stone eggs, it will arouse everyone's admiration.

Now he wouldn't do this kind of thing again, but it was rare enough to be able to see the scenery inside the mountain.

At this moment, a mouthful of ashes fluttered into the hole, and with curiosity on his face, he walked all the way and stepped into it.As soon as you enter, you will feel the coolness penetrate the epidermis into the body, which is obviously different from the warmth of the outside world.

"I didn't expect there to be natural caves here."

The familiar claustrophobic abyss slowly emerged in my mind as it gradually deepened.When Chen Yu was in his hometown, he often took advantage of the summer vacation to travel through the mountains and into the forest, but there were no ferocious beasts on Qingtai Mountain.

Naturally let him come and go, during which time he entered many caves to play.Rural children are courageous, no matter how deep the caves are, they dare to break into them alone, which is called adventure and adventure.

Now that I think about it, it's not very interesting.

It's a pity that for Chen Yu at this moment, he didn't feel the excitement inspired by fear at all.His eyes turned, and his powerful eyesight took a panoramic view of the entire cave. Even if he went a few steps deeper, there was only a faint light in the cave, which could not hinder him in the slightest. As he strolled in the courtyard, the sound of dripping water came from his ears.

The further you go, the more humid it gets.

Soon, a stone wall appeared in front of him, and there was a depression on each side, but they were not long, and it took only a few steps to walk through it.

Turning back to the outside of the mountain, Chen Yu looked up and searched on the broken mountain to see if there were any medicinal herbs that were hard to find on weekdays.

After searching for a long time, the medicinal herb was not found, but the reason for the collapse of the mountain was touched a little.

So he left empty-handed, and looked at the place where the landslide occurred, and then he had to go to the area behind Qingtai Mountain for a stroll, in case there was a similar place, he could make arrangements early.

The loose soil that needs to be loosened, and the tamped that should be compacted, if it is really not possible, it will collapse in the same way, so just insert some mountain-collapsing charms and detonate it in advance.

Now it seems that this stone talisman is really useful.

In this case, a little roughness can solve the problem very well.

But I still hope not to have it, otherwise it will still be troublesome to deal with.

If the area that is about to collapse is too large and seriously affects the Taoist temple, it will be difficult for him to think of a solution for a while, unless he changes the station or moves down the mountain.

As for using formations to solidify... it shouldn't be possible in a short time, this thing is not something you can have if you want it, and the combination of formations is gradually falling into a bottleneck. method to amplify this effect.

Even if you outline the three-talent formation and use building blocks, it won't work.It is not clear whether this is a limitation of the pattern itself or there are other reasons for its existence.

If it's the latter, then he may have to re-examine the trio he created from a different angle.

It is impossible to say that there will be a major change, so it takes a lot of effort to think about it.

……

Qingtai Mountain is not big at all, but if you count the surrounding areas, such as the Luoxiayan area, and the area behind it near the Wocan Gorge, then this area still looks quite limited.

And if you add the lush jungles attached to the Baiqi Mountains, the entire Qingtai Mountain can be considered vast.

Chen Yu didn't circle these, but walked up and down around the Taoist temple. However, the mountain road is rugged, and in some places even the only remaining plank roads are decayed and broken.

It took time and effort to toss back and forth, and there were some fine beads of sweat on the forehead, but fortunately, no major hidden dangers have been found yet. It seems that the collapse of the mountain next to it will not happen here at the foot, and it will not suddenly wake up one day. Taoist temples are buried.

Along the way, I also found two gentle slopes that were about to slide. Since the location was remote and there were no people around, I simply ignored them, let alone using the Collapsing Mountain Talisman to trigger them in advance.

At this moment, Chen Yu was standing in front of a cave.

Different from the exposed cave after the landslide, it was originally hidden on the side of the mountain and has been weathered for many years.Although this place looks like it has been formed for a long time, the inner structure is completely different, and the reasons for its formation are also very different.

He entered it with a surprised expression.

The wet touch hits the cheeks, and there is a burst of warmth on the face, but unlike the dry heat outside the cave, the heat here is much more relaxed.

After walking a few steps inward, the sound of gurgling water came, and Chen Yu, curious, stepped further in with a low body.

The frail water flowed past me, and I picked up a handful to find that the water was not cold, but warm, but it was not like the hot spring in my memory.

After all, this location is located in Xizhou. Although there are many mountains, there are not many volcanic magmas, and there are few hot springs.

Is it formed by the spewing out of the underground undercurrent?

The landslide earlier caused several earthquakes in the Qingtai area, like an earth dragon turning over, it may cause this situation.

Chen Yu seems to have heard that there are other ways to generate hot springs besides the boiling of magma, and this one may be it right now.

Go forward along the waterway, trace the source, and come to a stone wall, the wall is blue, and the upper layer is mottled.He patted it with his hands, knocked it twice, looked down and found that the water was indeed overflowing from behind the stone wall and merged into a water channel.

Raising blood energy, the blood in his body was rushing, he tried to push away the stone wall in front of him, but unexpectedly, the stone material was soaked in water vapor for too long, the inside and outside were cold and hot, and after he touched it hard, several small cracks appeared .

After a few more pushes, the stone wall collapsed with a bang and cracked on the ground.

Plop plop!
The stone wall fell, and there was the sound of stones falling into the water.

The water flow under Chen Yu's feet suddenly became much stronger after losing its obstruction, and he looked inward, and sure enough, he saw a bubbling spring lying in the cave.

Bend down and touch it with your hands, the temperature is just pleasant.
