Also missing were their diving equipment.

Hu Bayi frowned deeply.

Could it be that the fat man went into the water secretly and found his way out?

But no matter what, Fatty would not leave the two of them behind, let alone take away their equipment.

After observing the stone chamber, Chen Wenjin said, "Brother Hu, this shouldn't be the stone chamber just now."

Not the stone chamber just now?

Hu Bayi became even more confused. There was only a short distance of more than ten meters from the stone chamber to the corridor. How could he go astray?

Besides, there is only one stone room here, and the decoration and layout of the stone room are exactly the same as before.

Hu Bayi seemed to have thought of something and hurried to the well. After searching around, he found no trace of blood.

It’s really not a stone chamber!

He clearly remembered that after Wang Kaixuan climbed up, two drops of blood fell on the floor near the wellhead.

Water on the floor can be dried, but blood stains will leave traces even after drying.

At this time, Chen Wenjin spoke again: "Brother Hu, if my guess is correct, the layout of this ancient tomb may change."

As soon as Hu Ba was reminded by Chen Wenjin, he suddenly had an epiphany. He quickly came to the entrance of the corridor and looked forward with his flashlight.

Sure enough, the two mummies in the middle of the corridor were missing.

Hu Bayi vaguely imagined the layout of the ancient tomb in his mind, which was like a turntable, with the stone chamber on the edge of the turntable and the corridor in the middle of the turntable.

When the mechanism is triggered, the outermost layer of the turntable will rotate, and the stone chamber will change its position.

So every time they go in and out, they come to a new place.

After thinking about all this, Hu Bayi couldn't help but admire the ingenious idea of ​​the tomb owner.

Such a special ancient tomb is definitely a miracle of ancient engineering.

But he was amazed, now that the injured Fatty was separated from him, Hu Ba began to worry about Fatty's safety.

Hu Bayi said: "Sister Wen Jin, can we wait here? Maybe the fat man's stone room will come back after a while, and the three brothers and Professor Chen may also be in different stone rooms."

"Okay, just listen to Brother Hu." Chen Wenjin nodded. The diving equipment was gone, and there was no way to go back the same way.

The two of them stood guard in the corridor, turned on the flashlight, and the beam of light shined directly into the stone room.

They didn't notice any abnormalities during the two changes in the agency just now, which shows that there is probably some kind of deception at the connection between the stone chamber and the corridor to cover their eyes.

Now using the light beam to experiment, as long as the mechanism is activated again, they will definitely find it.

However, the two waited for several hours until the battery in the flashlight ran out and found no abnormalities.

Hu Bayi returned to the stone chamber, looked at the marks he had left before, and shook his head. This stone chamber was still the same stone chamber just now.

It's strange. Could it be that the tomb has its own consciousness and knows that the two of them are observing the mechanism, so it doesn't shut down the engine.

Or is there some other reason...

There is no way out now, the two of them can only move deeper into the corridor.

At the end of the corridor is a simple small stone door, nothing special. Hu Bayi easily pushed the stone door open, and suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in his face.

Whoosh!

"Be careful!" Chen Wenjin shouted softly in his ears.

It seemed that there was a sound of a hidden weapon being knocked down. Hu Bayi, who was sweating coldly, turned to look at Chen Wenjin and saw a metal chain in his hand, with nine claws and sharp weapons tied to one section of the chain.

Apparently, it was Chen Wenjin who saved him just now.

"Thank you, Miss Wenjin."

"Brother Hu, you're welcome. It's just a little effort."

Holding a nine-claw hook, Chen Wenjin looked more like a heroine. She waved her hand indifferently and stepped forward to pick up the metal crossbow arrow that had been knocked down just now.

"There should be some mechanism in this stone room. Brother Hu had better be careful."

Hu Ba nodded little by little, and carefully explored the stone room with Chen Wenjin.

The structure of this stone chamber is very similar to the one just now, except that this stone chamber does not have a round well.

In addition, there are some buried porcelain on the ground.

Judging by the age, it doesn’t have a very long history, and it’s basically all from the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Bayi had heard Professor Chen say before that this undersea tomb was from the Ming Dynasty, so he was not surprised.

However, he stopped in front of a piece of red-glazed porcelain. The porcelain was brightly colored and the color had not faded even after being buried in an undersea tomb for hundreds of years. It was a rare masterpiece.

Chen Wenjin is a treasurer of cultural relics and said: "Brother Hu, this is a single-color glazed porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. There are not many of them left in the world."

Hu Bayi secretly sighed in his heart, these people from the Nine Sects are all knowledgeable and possess both civil and military skills.

Hu Bayi spoke out his compliments, but Chen Wenjin smiled bitterly.

"Brother Hu, strictly speaking, I am not from the Nine Sects."

"Not from Jiumen?" Hu Bayi showed a look of surprise.

Chen Wenjin smiled: "There is no Chen family in Jiumen."

"I heard that the sect leader of the Nine Sects is not named Chen?"

"I have nothing to do with Master Chen. In fact, I am an orphan. My adoptive father adopted us. He taught us martial arts and raised us."

Hu Bayi never thought that Chen Wenjin would have such a life experience.

"Sorry, Miss Wen Jin."

Chen Wenjin smiled: "It's nothing, Brother Hu, besides, these things are not secrets."

"Then who is your adoptive father?"

"Chen Pi Ah Si, people from the Nine Sects call him this, and he is also very special among the Nine Sects." When talking about his adoptive father, Chen Wenjin showed a complicated expression.

"Special? What do you mean?"

"My adoptive father has a bad relationship with several families in Jiumen, especially Mr. Wu Wu, the father of San Sheng, who is a sworn enemy of my adoptive father. Whenever they meet, several of Mr. Wu's dogs will die, and my adoptive father's family will always die.

My father will also be bitten with scars."

"What about you and brothers Sansheng?"

Chen Wenjin shook his head: "The grudges of the older generation of the Nine Sects never involve the next generation. Once, the three provinces invited me to the Wu family in Hangzhou. After the fifth master knew my identity, not only did he not reject me, but he treated me very well."

Hu Bayi couldn't help but said: "The relationship between your nine families is really...complex."

"Yes, the relationship within the Nine Gates is very strong. Even if there are personal grievances, the overall situation will be taken into consideration. This is also the reason why the Nine Gates can remain prosperous."

Thinking of what Jin Wantang had asked him to do before, Hu Bayi said again: "I heard that joining the Nine Gates requires a recommendation from one of the Nine Gates?"

Chen Wenjin looked at Hu Bayi with a smile: "Brother Hu asked for Jin Wantang, right?"

Before Hu Bayi could answer, Chen Wenjin continued: "I don't have much contact with Jin Wantang, but I heard from San Sheng that Jin Wantang has interacted with the older generation of Jiushen, and he also wanted to join Jiusmen, but he was not very thoughtful.

Chun. The Huo family once vouched for Jin Wantang and recommended him to join the Nine Gates. However, seven families voted against it and the matter was settled."

"Now Jin Wantang is trying to please the three provinces because he wants to use the power of the Wu family to enter the nine gates."

Hu Ba nodded and asked again: "I heard that the Wu family is only in the middle of the Nine Gates. Can they help Jin Wantang enter the Nine Gates?"

Chen Wenjin blinked and explained: "Brother Hu, the Wu family is actually very special. The fifth master has a close relationship with several heads of the nine families, so in Jin Wantang's view, as long as he has the recommendation of the fifth master Wu, he will definitely be able to join.

Nine gates."

Seeing Hu Bayi's silence, Chen Wenjin reminded again: "Brother Hu, you'd better keep a careful eye on Jin Wantang. This person is probably sent by other forces."

"Other forces?"

"I don't know about this. San Sheng reminded me."
