Wenfang and I climbed the ropes and went down to the bottom of the well, illuminating the darkness around us with lights. I saw that there was a cave under the well, and a huge underground riverbed appeared under our feet.
This dark river seems to have dried up, but it shouldn't be long. On the river front directly in front, there were also beaches of small puddles lined up at this time.
The water in the puddles is estimated to contain a lot of minerals. The white light shone over and shone on these shallow water puddles, reflecting the radiant five-color light curtains, and the buddhas became a piece, instantly making the dark space look beautiful and beautiful, like a fairyland. .
Taking us as the demarcation point, the top of the two ends of the underground river is about four meters high. It is a rugged stone top. When you are on the scene, you feel like you are in another world.
But another thing is very strange. In the center of the river bed under our feet, there is an invisible'road' in front and back. It is very flat, and is different from the uneven potholes and soft mud on both sides, forming a sharp contrast.
I never thought that there would be such a magnificent and magnificent scene under the ground. For a while, my mouth was wide open, and I wanted to say something to Wen Fang, but I couldn't say it.
Wen Fang was also shocked for several minutes before he came to his senses. He couldn't help but spit out: "I used to hear my father say that the northern insect is like a dragon, and the southern insect is like a phoenix. Each has its own characteristics. I haven't felt much before. Standing here today, I finally understand what he meant!"
"The northern insect is like a dragon, and the southern insect is like a phoenix?" I murmured, wondering: "What do you mean by father-in-law?"
As soon as the words were spoken, my intestines turned regretful.
Since the last time I was in a coma in Yunnan and had the spring dream related to Wenfang, my whole person seems to have been poisoned. Every day I imagined in my mind that one day I would be able to win Wenfang's heart.
Over time, the poisoning has become more and more serious, and the beauty has been embraced in the dream. Naturally, she called her father father-in-law.
But these things, I always only think about them in my dreams, how can I really shout out
Now, as soon as this mind became confused, the words came out of his intestines. With Wenfang's temperament, still don't know how to get rid of me
The more I thought about it, the more I got scared. I just felt that the cold wind was pouring down the back of my head into my clothes, and hurriedly changed my words: "It's your father, your father! You see, I sometimes talk, but my mother doesn't mind. Time, I almost called Yu Mingjie to my sister! Wenfang, don't get me wrong!"
Wen Fang tilted his head and said weirdly: "What did you just say?"
When I saw it, she seemed to have lost her mind just now.
Suddenly, if he was amnesty, he breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly turned off the subject and said, "No, nothing! I just wanted to ask, what do you mean by these two sentences?"
Wen Fang glanced at me strangely, "Oh", and explained: "The meaning of these two sentences, that is, the environment in the south and the north are different, and the living habits of Zergs are naturally very different."
"North of the Qinling Mountains, the mountains are high and the land is flat, endless, like a long dragon lying on the ground. Zergs living in this environment are like dragons, fierce and fierce. When confronting the enemy, they often fight head-on."
"In the south, the terrain is magnificent and complex, with many mountains and valleys. It is not just what it looks like on the surface, but there is another world under the ground. Zergs living in this environment, like a phoenix, know how to take advantage of the situation. Use your advantage, hibern in the air, waiting for the opportunity, and defeat the enemy with one blow."
The more Wen Fang spoke, the smoother he moved, and pointed his hand forward, and said, "Look, it’s like the place we are now. This is called the Phoenix Landform, also called the Mesa-Canyon Lava Landform, in terms of geography. The karst caves are famous. Meng Gantang and his stockade seem to have been built on this huge karst cave world."
After listening to her, I only felt my eyes wide open, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect that there is such a saying about Zerg. I really want to see your father."
Wen Fang's face changed suddenly, and he coldly snorted, "Huh, do you want to see him? Just hit the wall!"
I'm a little baffled, I don't know where I provoke her again. It suddenly occurred to me, hey, it's broken. Wen Fang said before that his father had died three years ago. Don't I be boring
I immediately want to open my mouth and apologize.
At this moment, Wen Fang suddenly said, walking three or four meters forward, squatting on the soft river, seeming to have discovered something.
I followed and saw that on the dark brown ground, there was a pool of white spots about half the size of a palm. Wen Fang gently poked her fingers. The white spots seemed to be alive, and she wrapped her fingers.
I was taken aback, thinking it was in danger, so I had to go over and help.
No, the nine black-toothed lizards lying on Wenfang's back screamed as if they had been stimulated. They opened their mouths full of fangs and moved quickly along Wenfang's arms. Climbing down, going to bite her finger.
Wen Fang's face turned pale, her wrists shook violently, and the white thing on her fingers was thrown to the ground by her.
Those black-toothed lizards leaped down one by one, grabbing six to grab the thing. These black-toothed lizards are cold-blooded animals in the final analysis. They turned red eyes and turned their heads to bite their companions.
The bottom of my heart is hairy.
Upon seeing this, Wen Fang hurriedly turned over the long-leaved silkworm silk that Meng Gantang had handed to her, and shook the heads of the red-eyed lizards.
Suddenly, these lizards stopped beating each other, sticking out their long tongues to get the silk.
Wen Fang looked loose and threw three silks into the group of lizards, letting them grab food. Then put the remaining silk carefully next to the body.
Then, he said to me in a heavy voice: "Trouble, that snow spider, it should be in the egg-laying period."
"The spawning period? What do you say?" I asked, startled.
Wen Fang glanced at the wolf-toothed lizard, and said anxiously: "The thing I picked up from the ground just now is actually a broken snow spider egg."
I fixedly looked at her.
Wen Fang solemnly said: "Snow spiders, primordial spirits, like ordinary spiders, have the ability to lay eggs. However, their egg-laying period is very long, only once every 30 years. Moreover, this primordial spirit does not have the ability to lay eggs. Male-female, as long as enough energy is absorbed, ovulation will occur."
"But there is another point that is different from ordinary spiders. They lay eggs not to breed offspring, but... how to put it..."
Wen Fang seemed to be out of words for a moment, and suddenly said: "That's right, just like natural selection in the theory of evolution, the survival of the fittest is the same. After the snow spider lays its eggs, it will wait for these eggs to break into the pupae."
"Then the snow spider will encourage these larvae to swallow each other, weed out the other weak larvae, leaving only the last strong larva."
"After this elimination period, the adult snow spider will give the larva a half-year growth period. After half a year, they will have sex with the snow spider again, turning themselves into nutrients to provide the larva."
After I listened, I was speechless.
But then I thought about it, in fact, it was not as cruel and inhumane as I imagined.
In nature, there are many species that cultivate offspring like snow spiders. Just like the goshawk, who will throw the cubs off the cliff and let them fly in the shadow of death is the same.
But what I can't figure out is why Wen Fang said it was troublesome? Snow spiders lay eggs, and the state will inevitably be weak. Isn't this something that is of great benefit to us
I told this question.
Wen Fang shook his head and said: "You are still so stupid! Think about it, we haven't even seen the shadow of the snow spider now, but its eggs have appeared here. Are you not surprised?"
I said: What is so strange about this! Probably those larvae were incapable of fighting, some ran here and were killed by other larvae. Therefore, the eggs will stay.
Wen Fang looked at me speechlessly, and said: "Listen clearly, I'm talking about eggs, not larvae!"
I reacted and slapped my head: Yes, I almost forgot, this is a spider egg, not a larva. Without long feet, how could you come to this place
I suddenly thought of a possibility, and I was shocked: "You mean... this snow spider egg may be... stolen?" (End of this chapter)
