Chapter 18 The pond
At this moment, the old Liutou and Sun Ting on the shore were obviously more anxious than Zhang Guozhong, "Damn it, I'm right before I came down... Oh, I'm so confused..." Liutou kept gritting his teeth and stamping his feet. In desperation, he grabbed a copper coin from his bag and planned to insert a yellow flag to see how many pounds the things inside. But after the flagpole was set up, he remembered that his sword was given to Alxun. No one could start the formation... I was too confident in the guy in his hand, so the yellow flag didn't even get it in. Now I want to insert it, but the guy asked Alxun to take it away. He was determined to get Zhang Yicheng's Tianlu, but he was afraid that Zhang Guozhong would come back and need help...
Sun Ting's face was basically bloodless. Although this person usually looks calm and steady, he often shows a little bit of the style of a playboy at critical moments, especially when he comes back from Egypt, he doesn't take the submachine guns of the Burmese drug dealers seriously, but if he encounters these ghosts and gods, he will say it. In short, if he is bitten by a snake in one day, he will be afraid of a rope for ten years...
"Senior Liu... Mr. Zhang and the others... will be fine..." It took half a minute before Sun Ting stuttered...
"It should be nothing... they are not ordinary people in their hands..." Old Liu kept asking for self-comfort, "So, Young Master Sun, I'll go in the water later, you go up first!"
"This...how can this work?" When Sun Ting heard that Old Liu was about to go into the water, he was even more embarrassed. He was a young man, so how could he let the old man take risks...?
"There are still people waiting outside! If we don't go up, what's the matter!" Although he was anxious, Old Liu was quite calm on the surface. "Maybe they found some treasures inside. They are studying to dump us alone. The man surnamed Qin has no good intentions..."
"But... your body..." Sun Ting squatted down and touched the water with his hands. It was cold and harsh, "This water is very cold..."
"I am from the elderly winter swimming team! I will go down and soak in the ice hole in the 39th day! This little coldness is nothing!" Although I am optimistic on the surface, the cold sweat on my forehead exposed Lao Liu's true mood. I looked at my watch and it was more than three minutes before Zhang Guozhong's last breathing, and there was still no movement under the water. "Young Master Sun, please help me take this..." Lao Liu stuffed his elder brother Dalian and his top to Sun Ting, "Don't tell the truth when you go up! Yicheng is still a child!"
"I... understand..." Sun Ting took Old Liu's things, and Sun Ting stood there stupidly, watching Old Liu's head trembling into the water. In a few seconds, the flashlight on the water surface disappeared.
Meanwhile, underwater.
Following Zhang Guozhong's route, Lao Liu also began to swim directly from the bottom step forward. It felt like he hadn't swam a few meters away. There was a stone cave similar to the door in front of him, about two meters high and more than one meter wide. If it was really a door, it would be a bit disproportionate to this huge secret room.
To be on the safe side, Lao Liu also floated out of the water in front of the stone gate and changed his breath, and then suddenly sneaked into the stone gate. Underwater, there was a dark passage in the stone gate. Because I didn't know how long the passage was, Lao Liu could only calculate the distance to swim in and prepare to swim back at any time.
Just when Lao Liu felt that he could not hold it in his arms and wanted to return to the secret room, he suddenly felt that the rock walls on both sides of the passage were gone, and replaced by endless darkness. "Have you reached the inner room?" Lao Liu stepped on the bottom of the pond and surfaced at the fastest speed.
"Die me!" As soon as the head was watered, Old Liu heard Zhang Guozhong's roar, followed by a plop, just like tons of huge rocks being thrown into the water, followed by a series of gunfires.
"Don't hit it! I'm underneath!" Old Liu raised the flashlight out of the water and kept shaking it. Because the water seemed to contain some irritating minerals, his eyes hurt when he first came out of the water. With the splash of water just now, he couldn't see where the gun was fired.
"Don't shoot!" Zhang Guozhong shouted immediately when he heard that Old Liu came. Rubbed his eyes, Old Liu found that Zhang Guozhong was standing about seven or eight meters away from him, and there were two flashlights next to him. I guess Qin Ge and Alxunnian had nothing to do. After illuminating the surroundings with the flashlight, Old Liu was completely stupid. Such a huge underground space was difficult, let alone imagine it, even if you imagine it! The visibility of the air in the cave was good, and this military flashlight, which claimed to be effective lighting distance of 30 meters, could not shine on the top of the cave.
After swimming a few steps forward, Lao Liu's head was pulled to the "shore" by Zhang Guozhong. The "shore" of this secret room is different from the secret room just now. There is no water on the shore, it is full of sweat. The air in the secret room is filled with a smell of earth, and it seems to be a little mist, but it is much better than the secret room just now. The visibility is at least thirty or forty meters. I shine it horizontally with a flashlight and find that it seems to be a large and surprising underground cave, with a serpentine curve, about thirty meters.
The left and right are wide, within the visible range, the cave seems to have turned a corner, and it is unknown where it leads. Not far from the bend, it seems to be a huge "shadow back wall", which looks like a stone tablet, and I don't know what it is used for. Compared with the treasure cave in Bashan, the artificial traces of this cave are much more serious, and the project volume is even no different from directly digging the mountain to repair. The ground under the foot is paved with bluestone slabs that are one meter square. From the foot sense analysis, it is estimated that the thickness is less than ten centimeters.
Each stone slab is engraved with a dragon pattern (after careful identification by Lao Liutou and Qin Ge, the pattern is not carved with a dragon, but a dragon-shaped beast called "Kui*", a pattern commonly used in the Shang and Zhou dynasties). Not far from the bend, there are several huge stone pillars in groups of three or three. If the thickness is visually measured, at least ten people can surround it, and they will reach upwards to places where the flashlight cannot be shining. As for these pillars alone, they must have been ancient.
The limit of construction ability was; looking back, Lao Liu found that the place where he went ashore seemed to be the "snake head" of this snake-shaped cave. The rock walls on both sides spread out at right angles, which were obviously flattened by artificially. Not only were they visible and angled, but also had patterns. In that era when there was no explosives, it was hard to imagine how this project was completed; and the water surface on his shore was about a circular cut shape, as if it was deliberately left to release water, and I don't know what the purpose was.
"This mountain is empty..." Old Liu shivered in cold weather, "What was that just now?"
"I don't know... I'm moving too fast, I ran away before I could see clearly..." Zhang Guozhong said angrily, "But I just gave it a knife, and I guess there is nothing to be able to water... Where is Mr. Sun?"
"I asked him to go up first..." Lao Liu said, "Let's look around, and if you don't have any treasures, hurry out... I think this place is not ordinary..." Although he was mentally unsure, Lao Liu was still thinking about finding a treasure. As the saying goes, he should be at peace. Judging from the depth of the water, the cave should be built at the end of the Qin and early Han Dynasties. In addition, the "Kui" pattern carved on the ground, so everyone has locked the construction time of the cave before and after the Warring States Period. If you really can find some Qin bricks and Han tiles, this trip will be here.
When he heard Sun Ting go up, Zhang Guozhong let go. He was worried that the thing would swim in the water to harm Sun Ting, but if he went up, it would be fine. It should be noon outside at this moment, and the yang energy was in full swing. In addition, there was a big hand Liu who could beat ghosts, and a serious resentment that had been severely damaged must not cause any trouble...
At this moment, a black thing near the rock wall attracted Qin Ge's attention. He walked up with a flashlight and saw it looked like a piece of clothing. "Is it the clothes of ancient people?" Qin Ge squatted down and found that the clothes were black. He turned his neck and had a label, "President Zhang!" Qin Ge shouted.
"What is this?" Zhang Guozhong took the clothes and put them in front of his nose and smelled them. A fishy smell came to his nose, as if it had been stained with blood. He was stunned when he turned on the label, all of which were foreign characters...
"nd…made in uk..." Qin Ge thought with the flashlight, "This… should be the clothes of those people..." After measuring the distance between the clothes and the water surface, Qin Ge frowned, "Sun Ting's speculation was right, these people are indeed Europeans! I don't know why their clothes are here!"
"Of course I have to take off my clothes when I go back to swim..." Old Liu shivered so much that he simply took the clothes over and approved them himself. "Don't make a fuss. There seems to be a monument over there. Go and see what I wrote..."
"That thing just now... didn't change like Europeans..." Zhang Guozhong said as he walked, "I didn't see other places clearly, but my hair was black... Europeans should have yellow hair..."
"Maybe it was smuggled..." Lao Liu said, "You see, Master Qin is an American, isn't he also black-haired?" Lao Liu never forgot to make fun of Qin Ge.
"I'm a Chinese American..." Qin Ge's face turned blue and purple after hearing what Old Liu said...
After walking about thirty or forty meters, everyone came to the bottom of the stone tablet and shone it with a flashlight. They saw two strange words engraved on the stele. With Zhang Guozhong's level, they could not see it after reading it for a long time.
"These two words are...生*chi!" Not to mention Zhang Guozhong, even Lao Liutou, the calligraphy association, read for a long time. "The character '生' in the eight styles of Qin Shu! This hole was built by the Qin Dynasty...or... Qin State!" Looking at these two words, Lao Liu's head was tilted left and right and didn't know why, "The fonts of Qin State have their own uses. The fonts are engraved on weapons, so how did they be engraved on the stele?"
"What does it mean?" Ai Erxun, who had not spoken, suddenly said something like this. In fact, Qin Ge also wanted to ask, but he was embarrassed.
"In ancient times, the word "生" means killing animals and sacrifice..." Old Liu frowned and said, "But there is no need to make it so powerful, right? The word "生" also means "生" to dismember the corpse of five horses, which is the kind of punishment that Shang Yang suffered... This place is called "生柠生... Could it be the ancient Sino-US cooperation institute?"
"The Qin State is not... Is there any spare money to make up for this kind of power when fighting every day?" Zhang Guozhong began to circle the big monument with a flashlight, "There are a bunch of small characters, senior brother, please recognize it!" I saw a large piece of small characters carved behind the monument, which seemed to be the so-called "shu style".
"Let me see..." Behind the detour, Old Liu frowned and looked at it for a long time, his eyes widened as he looked. After almost finished reading it, he could not speak...
