  Next to the golden bean, a cliff suddenly appeared with a depression as thick as an arm. At this moment, I suddenly felt a pain in my foot and turned around to see that wild chicken pecking at my foot with force. This guy must have been anxious because I hadn't spat out that mouthful of smoke yet. I hastily took a puff and sprayed it towards him. Only then did he stop, and seemed to be enjoying himself as he raised his head. I stood up and walked step by step in the direction of the golden bean, but I've had acrophobia since childhood, and now there's a hundred-foot deep cliff beneath my feet. Just thinking about it makes my back feel icy cool.

  I cautiously made my way forward, then lay down on the edge of the platform and looked down. A hundred feet below was black water, and if I wasn't careful, I would fall in and either be smashed to death or drowned. As soon as this thought occurred to me, I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over my head, and my body lost its balance. I almost fell off, but fortunately, Jin Douzi grabbed hold of me.

  I swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and let my heart calm down a bit. I looked at the depression on the edge of the cliff again. The edge of the pit was very smooth, but you could still see signs of artificial carving. What were these depressions used for?

  "Rozego, there are more of these depressions going up..." As he spoke, Jindouzi grabbed me with one hand and pointed upwards with the other. I followed his pointing direction and only then discovered that under the coverage of those green mosses, there were many dark black spots. These black spots were scattered on the four walls of the heavenly pit, each about 20 centimeters apart from each other.

  I retreated back to the entrance of the cave in doubt, it's still safer here. I sat at the entrance thinking about the purpose of these black dots. Suddenly, I felt a violent tremor coming from the ground. I quickly pulled the golden beans that were still on the platform back and shrank into the cave.

  Was it an earthquake? It was really a case of "when it rains, it pours". Not long after, I suddenly heard the sound of rushing water in my ears. At this time, Jin Douzi pushed me and pointed to the cliff wall of the sky pit. I suddenly felt a tingling sensation on my back. Looking around, those black dots were now spouting water columns, which kept the same rhythm, sometimes slow and sometimes fast. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a wonderful thing could happen.

  At this time, the swirling vortex looked even more striking, with countless sparkling water columns descending from the sky like a magnificent scene. I thought that the sound of accumulated water I heard in the underground tunnel might have come from these water columns. After a while, the water column gradually weakened and finally disappeared. However, I found that those vortices swirled up to the Mongolian-style building on the opposite side. Jin Douzi and I exchanged a glance, and something flashed through our minds.

  Those wooden sticks in the cave just now.
