Comparing the first two layers with the third layer, it is simply a difference between clouds and mud. The ground was covered with neatly polished stone bricks. On both sides of the magnificent sacrificial platform, two high lamp slaves were assumed, half kneeling on the ground holding the lamp plate, the lamp inside had already been extinguished. But you can still imagine the scene where everyone was crawling under the high altar at the time of the sacrifice, and the two rows of lamp slaves extended to the top of the high altar.
According to Meng Qisheng, there are many such huge caves in the entire underground labyrinth, and a magnificent sacrificial layer will be built in each cave. It can be said that 70% of the power of this nation is used in sacrifices.
I raised my flashlight and looked at the ten-meter-high statue standing majestically on the highest point. This is the god that this nation has worshipped for hundreds of years. Because the idol is too tall and too far away from us, it is difficult to see the details clearly. The color has long been lost. The left arm is pointing to the sky, and the right arm is beating the ground. Struggling faces grew on both arms. I glanced at Meng Qisheng, and said to my heart that it was another evil god. The longevity Buddha placed by Meng Qisheng in Helan Mountain is an evil god and looks weird.
"It's no wonder that the party and the government demand that the masses of the people are to seize the revolution... to promote production, but also to bring down all monsters. You see how much productivity is wasted by these illusory beliefs. If everyone is like this, how can we achieve the four modernizations and build a well-off society in an all-round way Society." I teased.
When Meng Qisheng heard my ridicule, he usually skipped it as if he hadn't heard it, but this time the belief was different. After all, people believed in Sakyamuni.
"It's nothing more than the pursuit of difference. The development of science and technology, and the improvement of living standards, are ultimately also for the pursuit of spiritual satisfaction. And faith can also make people spiritually satisfied. Even now that the mobile Internet is so developed, those who use mobile phones every day are confused. People who pursue nothing, are probably not among the few, right
From morning to night, from the dinner table to the pillow, I watched and listened to a lot on my mobile phone, and felt happy, anger, sorrow, and sorrow over the emotions of others. The hair is faint and the eyes are astringent. If you close your eyes, what do these people get? "
I choked, isn't this the Double Ninth Festival? "You care about current affairs."
"Weibo, I also did it." The old monster said calmly.
"You said that you have been living in seclusion in Helan Mountain. Is it a lie?" I angered.
"It's not a lie. Blame yourself for being stupid. Modern life is so easily out of touch with society. Besides, can't there be an internet in Helan Mountain? I'll tell you that."
I was choked for a long time before sighing with emotion: "Thank you Chinese gongchandang."
Meng Qisheng continued indifferently: "Thank you for the institutional advantage of concentrating your efforts on big things."
"You are quite patriotic."
"I don't regret entering China in this life, tears in my eyes."
Damn, have you ever been to station B? I found that this old thing could pick up anything after I talked deeply, and I'm so sorry for his over a hundred years of age.
Climbing up and down is also very hard. Meng Qisheng asked me not to go too far. When Fang Jindong and Wang Di came back to Huihe, "The caves we just walked are the parts closest to the ground. I have come into contact with an abandoned dangerous area. The reason why they were forced to move to the ground in the past is actually not understood by me yet, so I have my strength, and the next thing is the highlight."
Alas, it's hard for me.
I don't know if Meng Qisheng has become a habit of pretending to be fools, or what's going on. He always likes to hide in his speech. He doesn't say anything strange below, maybe because I am afraid I will retreat.
While waiting for Fang Jindong and Wang Di to return, I boringly raised my flashlight and took photos everywhere, and ran into the honeycomb-like caves on the second floor to see if there were any traces of life.
I even wonder if this group of people living in the ground are real people. All their production and life activities are in the dark ground. Not only can they not see the sun, but they live in a humid environment, so they won’t get rheumatoid bone disease
In the cave, I thought I could find a place for them to sleep, but what is strange is that the dense caves in the living layer are all cut quite rough, and even the most basic ground leveling has not been done, and there is no inside. Put any utensils for people to sleep, not to mention mats, not even straws! Oh, of course there can be no straw, they don't grow rice.
Why is there no place to sleep? Did we guess wrong? The second layer is not for sleeping, but for other purposes.
I ran out and stood on the long and narrow crescent-shaped clearing, checked the first row of caves, and then climbed up the stone ladder to the second and third floors. Every floor is like this. The caves are uneven, just random. Excavated, there is no place for people to sleep at all.
I ran down out of breath, Meng Qisheng noticed my abnormality and followed slowly, "What's wrong?"
I raised my flashlight and illuminated the dense "beehive" caves in front of me. They were obviously so repressive and cramped like the pigeon cages in modern cities. Why were there no traces of life in them
As I meditated, I told Meng Qisheng of the doubts in my heart, "I suspect we made a mistake. These caves are not for them to live in. I am afraid there are other uses." Then I explained my findings to him.
After listening to my guess, Meng Qisheng hesitated: "I don't know much about the cave system of this underground nation. Back then, Ning Hanqing took me on the second trip to Changning. We stayed on the ground for a long time. As for this Ning Hanqing had studied the cave dwelling ruins underground as early as the first time he came, so I didn't have the opportunity to learn more. After he came out of the building, he didn't tell me much about the ruins."
"If the second floor is not a living area, what would it be?" I asked.
"Ning Hanqing said that this part of the cave remains relatively recent is relatively safe, and I have indeed not encountered any trouble in the shallow cave these few times. You are too nervous, just relax." Meng Qisheng unexpectedly Comfort me.
I also know that I am too nervous and can't help but think about something. But if people's thinking can be controlled, there will be no people who are afraid of ghosts in the world. I am still thinking about it.
After walking through a few caves, we can find that this cave dweller is pursuing a collective way of life and production. Each giant cave is an independent system, and all necessary functions will exist in this cave.
If the second floor is not a living space, I looked around. Obviously, judging from the production traces left, there are a large number of people living in every cave unit. Except for the second floor, there can be no other places. Living place.
But why there is almost no trace of life on the second floor. (End of this chapter)
