Chapter 4 The bronze bird statue and the servant(2/2)

The girl looked sideways at me, frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I seemed to have heard something just now..."

The young master next to him asked in surprise: "Sound? What sound?"

"It seems to be the sound of water..." the girl said. I couldn't help but feel relieved when I heard the sound of water. Now when the three of us are swimming in the water, there will naturally be sounds. And because it is in such a closed corridor, the echo is very loud. Girl In any case, she is a girl who is naturally timid. In addition, she was frightened many times today, so it was inevitable that everyone would hear the echo and think it was the sound of water.

The young master and I comforted her for a few words, and finally I decided to go to the front. The young master followed the girl, and we two grown men protected her in the middle. Then she calmed down. I was clearing the way in front and just swam a few steps, and I could hear something in my ears. At the end, there was a sound of rushing water in front of me, as if someone was walking on the water.

The sound in this lonely corridor was particularly heartbreaking. I looked back at the girl and she bit her lip with her teeth. The young master lowered his voice and said, "Something's wrong, Lao Xu, be careful."

I nodded and shined a flashlight in front of me. I almost couldn't help shouting under this photo - there was a person standing vaguely in front of me, five or six meters away in the dark underwater tunnel. A figure...

The girl covered her mouth with her hand in fear. The young master had already taken off the crossbow from his back. I hesitated and didn't dare to move forward. It's not that I'm timid. I'm afraid that if it were any other person in such an environment, he might not be as good as him. I was so brave. After about a minute, I shined a flashlight on the blurry figure twice and saw that he just stood there motionless. I finally had the courage to swim forward.

The young master was guarding me with a crossbow, and I had already handed over the flashlight in my hand to the girl, took out the bamboo arrows, and put my whole body on guard.

Gradually, the figure became clearer and clearer. Until we were two meters away, the person was still standing quietly and motionless. And we finally saw clearly that the figure was just a stone sculpture standing at the end of the corridor. The corridor was no longer there. Tongtong's arm-thick iron chains were wrapped around the man's body many times, as if trying to lock him tightly.

The girl and I looked at each other with confusion. We paused for a moment and saw that there was no danger. Then we boldly swam closer and watched carefully.

Half of the body of this stone sculpture was soaked in water and could not be seen clearly. The other half of the body was exposed. The iron chain was wrapped around his upper body three times and locked his arm tightly. The other end was connected to the stone wall next to him. The girl was very big.

Dare to wipe away the yellow sand and dirt on its head and face with your hands——

"This is a bronze servant!" the girl said with a frown. There are many bronzes unearthed in the records of the past dynasties, but I have never seen a bronze servant. I originally thought it was a stone sculpture, but I didn't expect it to be a bronze servant. The young master and I

Both of them were very curious and hurriedly swam over to help the girl wipe off the yellow sand and dirt on the servant's face.

This bronze servant is almost as corroded as the bronze bird statue found on the other side just now. Upon closer inspection, you can see that the bronze servant was cast to have a burly figure and a majestic face. I don’t know whether it is based on human imagination or imitation of a real person.

The girl shone the flashlight little by little. The servant wore a hat that looked like armor, and looked very majestic, but his eyes were empty and seemed to be quite dull, which was very inconsistent with the shape of the entire bronze servant. And it started from the neck down.

Although it was severely corroded by being soaked in water, you can still see patches of scale-like objects covering its body. It is not known whether it was originally wearing armor or was covered in scales.

"It's weird, weird, really weird..." the young master said while stroking the bronze servant and shaking his head.

"What's weird?" I asked back. In fact, I was extremely shocked. Could it be that this long iron chain was meant to lock up this bronze servant? But this is not reasonable! Generally speaking, since it is

Why would the owner of the tomb be chained up when he was buried with bronze to look like a warrior?

The young master shook his head and said, "Lao Xu, how much would this thing be worth if it were sold out?"

I sneered when I heard this and said with a sneer, "Young master, you may not even be able to save your life now. It's unknown whether we will see the light of day again. Are you still thinking about wealth? Besides, once this bronze servant is unearthed, I'm afraid it will be as famous as Siyang Fangzun."

If you want to sell it, hey, wait and eat the free national food."

The girl sneered: "If you want to sell this thing, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as eating free national food."

I knew the girl was right and nodded silently. Looking at the severely corroded scales on the servant's body, my heart moved and I told the young master: "You two, keep an eye on me from above while I dive down to take a look." I didn't care as I spoke.

Whether they agreed or not, they held the girl's waterproof flashlight and dived into the water.

The groundwater was so turbid that it was like the rolling Yellow River water with the smell of rotten yellow sand. I held my breath and dived down. The water was not too deep, only about two meters, and below was the rotten yellow sand. I used a flashlight to briefly

I looked around under the water. It was even darker than the surface of the water. I touched the bronze servant and dived little by little. As I expected, the servant's upper body exposed above the water looked completely human. But under the water

The lower part looks a bit scary, it is actually a snake tail entangled together.

I touched along the snake's tail and found that the root of the snake's tail was coiled in a circle, but it was hollow in the middle. It seemed that something was originally coiled in it. Now the thing coiled in the snake's tail has disappeared. I don't know if it was not put in at the beginning or later.

Let the Nan crawl away.

Thinking about it, it makes sense that the young master and I are in such a desperate situation, both of us are attracted by the bronze servant, let alone someone else. If you can't take away the big things, you will naturally have to take the small ones.

I groped around the snake's tail for a while, but still found nothing. I was about to turn over, but unexpectedly, my feet moved the rotten yellow sand on the bottom of the water, and a round white object was exposed. I curiously dived over and took a closer look, and I was scared to death.

The white round object was actually half a skull. A hollow eye was staring at me. Half of the teeth were exposed, like the fangs of a canine animal. It was indescribably uncomfortable. The concept of the living and the dead was really confusing.

Two completely different things, especially the dead person who has turned into a skeleton.

I had held my breath to the limit and my lungs were aching, so I hurriedly dived out of the water.

"Huhu..." I gasped and touched the water droplets on my face. Just as I was about to tell the girl and the young master what I had discovered under the water, I looked up and saw where were their shadows in the dark surroundings?

"Girl...young master..." I started to panic. There was no hiding place in this dark corridor. Where did the young master and the girl go? The girl must have had a stomachache again. I thought about it and looked around, but there was still nothing.

Show their shadows.

My vest, which was already soaked with water, almost burst into flames. My body temperature rose rapidly, but my heart became colder and colder. I was left alone in such a dark enclosed space, and I was afraid that it would be worse to be alive than to be dead.

Pain and fear rose up in my heart and I was so depressed that I could hardly breathe.

"Girl! Stop playing and come out!" I felt my voice trembling with the trembling sound of crying. But in the dark corridor, only my echo kept echoing, "Come out...come out...come out...

…”

I stood in the water blankly and looked to the side. The bronze servant's empty, dull eyes glanced at me coldly, like a living thing...

I don’t know how long time has passed. In this silent, dark underground corridor, I feel that all time has stopped and everything has ended. There is no beginning and no end.

Suddenly a huge sound rang out, which made me almost jump out of fear after being in silence for a long time. In fact, if I wasn't in the water, I would have jumped out of fright. I numbly raised my head and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see the statue.

The burly bronze servant slowly moved to one side, causing the connected iron chain to chirp.

The girl said she wanted to dive down to take a look. The young master and I were worried, but she insisted on going and gave her the only waterproof flashlight. The young master and I stood beside the bronze servant and watched a flower splashing on the water.

The water girl dived in. I don’t know why I always feel uneasy in my heart, as if there is some danger about to happen.

Fortunately, the girl resurfaced within thirty seconds of diving, shaking her head and saying, "It's really strange that I can't tell what era this bronze servant belongs to?"

I said, "Girl, it doesn't matter what age it is. Now is not the time for archeology. If you want to do archeology, wouldn't it be good to wait until you come back and have the power to think of a way to reveal the secrets here and make it public to the world?"

The young master also said: "The most urgent thing for you now is to leave as soon as possible."

The girl shook her head and said nothing. I asked the young master what the other side of the corridor looked like? What was there? Although it was only separated by a wall, I don't know why I always felt that this place was so evil and unspeakably weird that the right way was to leave as soon as possible.

The young master said that there is also a large water pool next door with a lot of space. The flashlights in their hands were too dim and they couldn't see clearly. They were busy looking for the agency just now and were worried that I would have problems here, so they didn't take a closer look. But one thing is for sure, that is the iron iron here.

The chain stretches all the way to where there seems to be a bird statue and a human servant.

Seeing that the girl still had no intention of leaving, I immediately told the young master to keep an eye on the girl while I went to the next door to have a look. The young master nodded and I held up the flashlight and shined a light on the exposed dark hole.

Under the dim light of a flashlight in the dark hole, a pale face poked its way in. I could clearly see that it was a completely unfamiliar face - the nose was sunken and there were no eyes, but there was a hideous and terrifying smile at the corner of the mouth.

.I couldn't help but screamed "ah".

When I called her this, the girl and the young master asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"

"There's someone next door!" I clearly felt my voice trembling. How could there be someone in such a place?

"Where is it?" The young master had already shined the flashlight in his hand towards the dark hole, but saw nothing. In less than ten seconds, the pale human face had disappeared and the hole had been restored again.

The darkness is like the gate to the underworld.

"Brother Xu, you may have been blinded." The girl comforted me.

Am I blinded? No way? I was secretly suspicious in my heart, but I didn’t say anything. I was just secretly on guard. The girl thought for a moment and said that she wanted to go down and have a look. I didn’t agree that it was serious to suggest leaving here as soon as possible. But the young master was determined.

I just want to please the girl and tell me to make a fuss and see if nothing happens.

So I watched the girl dive into the water again, and I stood by her side without daring to move. After about a minute, the girl still didn't come up. The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense because of the creepy skull and snake under the water.
