lling, national protection, and disaster mitigation under Wu Zetian. They were high-ranking officials in the Qintianzhang (Imperial Observatory).In history, there have been over seventy recorded insta...As we watched the last one go in, we began to move as well.
At first, the cave was very small and low. We all had to stoop as we walked, and if we accidentally straightened up, we would bump our heads.
Since we can no longer see any trace of those things, let's speed up.
Walking and walking, the space gradually became larger.
Ahead, there was an exit that looked like a door, with a faint light coming from within.
"Is this the end" asked Chen Jian-sheng.
Sister Hong shook her head, "I don't know, hurry and go take a look, don't lose sight of him."
I am flexible and run the fastest.
The result came to the front and didn't brake, almost falling down.
Gravel rolled, and Chen Jian Sheng pulled me from behind.
"What are you freaking out about, are you crazy!"
I was shaken and took two steps back.
Before us, from this cave to the ground below, it is at least twenty meters high.
A rope woven from vines hung down, obviously the only way to get down.
"Chen Houqin, you're so skinny and frail, will you be able to handle this" Chen Jian Sheng turned his head and asked.
"Just mind your own safety, don't worry about other people," Hong Jie retorted.
"Alright then," he grabbed the vine and said, "I'll go down first and scout the way for you."

From his sliding motion downward, you could tell he was an expert. He knew how to use his legs to push against the wall in order to adjust his descent speed.
Over twenty meters high, it only took him five or six minutes to slide to the bottom.
Chen Jian-sheng loosened the rope below and waved his arms at me and Hong Jie, motioning for us to come down.
Hong Jie is the second one down, she didn't come down as quickly as Chen Jian Sheng, but very steady, you can see that she also has a foundation.
Compared to the two of them, I seem rather clumsy.
Because I don't have any skills, the vine was really painful when it squeezed my hand as I slid down.
After coming down, I saw that my palm was all scratched up.
Seeing my pitiful state, Chen Jian-sheng joked, "Boy, practice more in the future. When sliding rope, use your leg strength, don't cling to it so tightly with your bare hands."

We three continued walking forward.
There's a large space down here, with clear signs of human excavation on the walls. There are also two stone pillars standing in the middle, with a staircase leading down into the ground between them.
It's very dark.
"Can the flashlight still work, Yunfeng," Hong Jie asked.
I turned on my flashlight to test it.
"There's still a little power left, Hong Jie. I estimate it won't last more than an hour.
"

"Well," she frowned, looking at the stairs leading down into the darkness. "I guess we should go down and see."
>
Thus, we began to walk down the stairs.
After we went down, at first we were using flashlights. As we walked, a light from torches appeared ahead of us.
Chen Jian-sheng muttered, "Damn it, this is truly bizarre. I never thought they'd use fire. I wonder if they even know how to cook. I'm actually curious to taste what a mountain goblin cooks up."
"
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After he finished speaking, I don't know what was going on. For a moment, I suddenly saw him as my second brother. When I came to my senses, I felt a little uncomfortable because my second brother is also like that. He never holds back his words and says whatever comes to mind, no matter the situation or environment.
The stone pavement beneath their feet, after just a few minutes of walking along the path, Red Sister suddenly spoke up, reminding them, "Hold on, listen, did you hear that"ething on the wall" I saw Hong Jie staring intently at the stone wall.It's not exactly a stone wall either. This wall below was cast with rammed earth, overall pale and yellowish, very hard. It should...
