Huang Zhihua obviously didn't believe in evil, but he couldn't bear to brush off my good intentions and nodded in agreement. I was busy tying the ancient bronze sword with a soft cloth rope and carried it on my back. There was some dry food and water in the backpack.

This time we all had the foresight to bring food to avoid starvation, and we were prepared with flashlights, miner hats, and some necessary tools.

The girl moved her arms and legs. She brought the least things because most of the items were carried by the young master.

Seeing that we were about to go down, the old man Nan Paizi asked us to wait. After saying that, he asked Wang Ming to take out three sticks of incense, light them, bow to the north, mutter a few words, and put the incense on the ground.

Let's go down.

I looked at the three thin sticks of incense and thought about Nanlizi's rules. I couldn't help but pull the old man over and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to let us use all the incense? One stick of incense... at most

We won't be able to get out in twenty minutes."

The old man shook his head and frowned and said, he will wait for us here for seven days. If we can't come out within seven days, he will seal the entrance to the tomb.

I think this is more or less the same. Seven days is enough.

Originally, it was just me, the young master, and the girl who entered the tomb, but Huang Zhihua was very curious, and under the guise of investigation and research, he insisted on going down to see it. In fact, we didn’t want to enter the tomb to see something?

I understand. No one will tell me. In fact, I really hope that he will accompany me into the tomb.

Wang Ming and Hu Lai prepared two long ropes and tied them to a rock, with a large bush attached behind them. The young master and the girl were in a group, and Huang Zhihua and I were in a group, and they slid in from the entrance of the cave along the ropes.

As soon as I entered the cave entrance, I felt a darkness in front of me, as if the sun's light had been blocked. The weather was neither cold nor hot, but when I entered the cave entrance, I clearly felt an eerie cold air coming up from below.

I couldn't help but shivered cleverly.

After climbing down for about four or five meters, I stopped and looked down with a wolf-eye flashlight. The entrance was small on the outside but big on the inside. It was in the shape of a gourd. It was about ten meters away from us. Under the light of the flashlight,

Below, there is a faint glow of water, proving that there is indeed water below. There are bluestone walls on all sides, which are very slippery and have obvious traces of manual polishing.

"What's wrong?" Huang Zhihua asked curiously when he saw that I was stagnant.

There is water below, and I don’t know how deep it is. Where is the entrance? The young master climbed on the stone wall opposite me, holding the rope with gloves and said, go down and take a look first. I looked at the young master and the girl so quickly

They slid down, worried that they would be in danger because of their recklessness, so they hurriedly followed them.

Fortunately, the rope was long enough, and we were fully prepared this time. When we were only about one meter away from the water, the young master and I both stopped and shined flashlights at the same time. We looked up and saw that there seemed to be only the mouth of the bowl above our heads.

A hole as big as the size of the cave, a ray of sunlight that had not yet fallen entered the cave entrance, and was quickly swallowed up by the darkness inside the cave.

When I came down, I paid special attention to the surrounding stone walls. They were all in one piece and I didn't see anything strange at all. This proves that if this is really the entrance to the ancient tomb, then the entrance must be in the water. Now it is in front of us.

The difficult question was whether to go into the water or not, "Lao Xu, hold on to the rope, I'll go down and take a look first." Huang Zhihua was worthy of being a soldier and had the spirit of leading by example, so he had to go into the water when he was busy.

"Mr. Huang, don't go into the water yet, I'll take a look first before talking." After the terrifying experience of the Guangchuan King's Tomb last time, I am much more cautious about the ancient tomb. As I said this, I was already following the rope again.

I slid down a little bit, then I grabbed the rope with one hand and stretched it all the way down. I touched it and found it was bone-chilling. I couldn't help but shiver. The water was so cold that I didn't expect it.

"Ah" suddenly, the girl on top of the young master exclaimed in surprise. We three grown men were all startled and asked hurriedly what was going on? The girl's face was very pale, and she pointed at the water tremblingly, but she could not speak.

Come. I was surprised, maybe there was something in the water. I immediately used my flashlight to shine in the direction Ya Tou pointed at. The underground water was not clear, it could even be said to be a little turbid, but it was transparent after all, not like the Yellow River.

The water was turbid, and about half a meter under the water. Under the illumination of our four flashlights, there seemed to be a figure squatting vaguely.

There are actually people under such a closed water? That is absolutely impossible. I looked up and looked at Huang Zhihua. This guy who always talked about policies from the barrel of a gun was really not a cover-up. He didn't say a word and had already slipped down the rope.

, and then he didn't even say hello to me. I just heard a "plop" sound, and the water splashed in front of my eyes. This guy jumped into the water so recklessly.

I was about to remind him Xiaoxin, when suddenly, Huang Zhihua cursed angrily: "***, what kind of trap is this? It's going to cost people's lives." As he said that, he stood upright in the water. The young master and I were both the same.

They were stunned, and then they all realized that the underground water was actually not deep. It was just that in the darkness, they mistakenly thought that the water was very deep. The water below only reached Huang Zhihua's chest. He jumped down so rashly just now that he almost sprained his body.

If your feet are broken, no wonder you have to curse.

Seeing that the water was not deep, I jumped in. My colleague told the young master and the girl to stay on top, just in case something happened. Huang Zhihua was very courageous, so he touched the place where the "figure" was just now.

In the past, I reminded him to be careful, but he didn't seem to take it to heart. Although the water was not deep, he couldn't see clearly what was under the water. Huang Zhihua took a breath, squatted down, and sank.

I had no choice but to hold my breath and dive down. My colleague used a flashlight to shine. The entrance of this deep underground well was not very big, with a diameter of about five meters at most. Therefore, the two of us soon discovered the hole underwater.

I could clearly see the squatting "figure" touching the money, and I really had to admire the old man. It seemed that we had found the right place.

Where is the human figure? It is obviously a bird statue, half as tall as a human, with half of the body outside. Under the water, it looks a bit like a human squatting, but the other half of the body is in the stone wall. With this look, I am

I have seen it in Guangchuan Mausoleum, and it is also underwater. It should be said that this bird statue should be the entrance to the tomb.

Huang Zhihua looked at me and gestured to me. I understood what he meant and nodded. He continued to move forward, touching here and there on Niu Zun, trying to find the mechanism to open, but he couldn't find it.

I came here and there, but the bird statue just wouldn't catch him. Taking advantage of this moment, I used the light of the flashlight to take a closer look. This bird statue should be from the same era as the bird statue we saw in the Guangchuan Royal Tomb.

Yes, the bronze casting process is quite exquisite, and it should be a product of the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, due to being soaked in water for a long time, the surface has been severely corroded, and the floral inscriptions cannot be seen. Naturally, the specific age cannot be determined.

Huang Zhihua struggled for a while, but found nothing. But I couldn't hold my breath any longer. I hurriedly came up from the water, took a deep breath, and heard the girl's voice in my ear: "Brother Xu, how do you feed me?"

?"There is a bird statue below. I guess the entrance to the tomb is here. We haven't found the mechanism to open it yet." Before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt something was wrong. My lowering seemed to be in vain, and then the water under my feet seemed to be alive.

Coming over, a vortex quickly opened in the middle and flowed down in a very strange form.

What's going on? The young master asked hurriedly, and I was shocked. Huang Zhihua was still under the water and had not come up. I was busy preparing to greet him. Suddenly, there was a heavy weight on my foot, and it seemed that I was being hugged tightly by a pair of hands.

The pain in my calf was excruciating. Fortunately, the water flow dropped quickly at this time. I could see clearly that the person hugging my calf was none other than Huang Zhihua. "What's going on?" I hurriedly pulled Huang Zhihua up.

Huang Zhihua's face turned pale. I pulled him to stand up. After a while, he said, "I don't know what happened just now. His feet were empty, and then something heavy dragged him down. He pulled him in a hurry."

My feet. Now that the water has completely dropped, we don’t know where it is flowing. There is a thin layer of sand under our feet. It should feel like stones when we step on it. The surroundings are also quiet. Where can we fall? And just now

Half of the bird statue on the stone wall has now been measured, revealing a dark cave entrance half as tall as a man.

I thought for a while, could it be that the water flow caused Huang Zhihua to hallucinate? The ground was very flat and it was impossible for him to fall. However, Huang Zhihua was a soldier and was well-trained. Such water flow might frighten ordinary people, but it was

It absolutely couldn't scare him, and it was impossible for him to have hallucinations. So - was something really pulling on him just now? It caused him to hold on to my feet in fear?

This place really has an evil and weird vibe to it.

Seeing that there was no danger, the young master and the girl also slid down the rope. The young master stepped hard on the yellow sand in the ground with his feet, frowned and said, this place is very similar to the Yellow River, it is all sand, and the sand is probably three inches thick.

The bottom is also made of bluestone like a wall. It is very smooth and obviously something that no one has ever touched.

The girl said "Huh" and looked at the ground curiously. I walked over and took a look. I saw a hole the size of a fist exposed in the yellow sand. The young master kicked the sand with his feet and found two more nearby.

same eyelets.

"Ah... So that's it." Huang Zhihua became smarter at this time and explained, "I said what's going on, the water disappeared when I said it was gone. It turns out there is an outlet below."

I frowned and said nothing. Huang Zhihua's explanation did make some sense. These fist-sized holes were the outlets for the water, but where exactly did the water leave? Is there another mystery under the stone wall? And in ancient times, things from the Western Zhou Dynasty,

It happened thousands of years ago, but this mechanism is still so clever. Someone has gone to great lengths to do this. Isn't it just to create a mystery?

What's the purpose?

At this time, the young master walked to the bird statue in front of the stone wall and shined a flashlight in, but the cave was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly. In order to prevent the cave from lacking oxygen, none of the four of us rushed to enter the cave entrance.

The girl was careful and took out the candle she had prepared. After lighting it, she held it up to the hole and tried it. The flame of the candle only flickered, and then burned steadily again.

"You can go in." The girl whispered.

But I felt even more uncomfortable. There was actually oxygen in this sealed underwater cave. Moreover, I looked at the candle in the girl's hand just now. It was obvious that there was ventilation inside, which proved one thing. This was not the only entrance to the tomb.

There is direct access from other places, causing this oxygen to exist in the tomb. For thousands of years, there is still oxygen in the tomb, which is definitely not a good thing.

I was afraid that Huang Zhihua would be reckless, so I hurriedly said: "I will go ahead and the young master will hold back. Mr. Huang, please greet the girl."

Huang Zhihua agreed readily. To be honest, when the water flowed down just now, he was really startled. Now he has become more cautious. I took the candle from the girl's hand and bent down to get into the hole.

Zhong. Huang Zhihua grabbed me again, took out a gun from his pocket, handed it to me, and told me in a low voice that he would not care about anything in order to complete this mission.

I smiled, feeling a little grateful, took the gun, lit a candle in one hand, and got into the hole. The hole was very small, only half a person high. After entering, the situation was slightly better, and it was barely enough for one person to stand up.

You have to walk with your body. There are still hard stone walls on both sides of the cave. People inside can't even open their hands. It's very crowded.

Huang Zhihua followed me, followed by the girl and the young master. I had a candle in my hand and a gun in one hand. I had no free hand to use the flashlight, so Huang Zhihua used the flashlight from behind me, and the four of us walked on a dark road.

, in the narrow corridor, it looks a bit like a midnight wandering ghost.

Based on my feeling, I found that the corridor was not straight. After walking for about ten minutes, my eyes blurred and I could clearly feel a cold wind blowing over me. My hair stood on end and I couldn't help but shudder. But the candle in my hand,

The flames jumped up with a "pop" sound, and then went out before I had time to react.

Although Huang Zhihua was shining a flashlight behind me, I still clearly felt that my eyes were getting dark, and I vaguely seemed to see something flashing past in front of me.

"What's going on?" Huang Zhihua, who was walking behind me, asked anxiously.

I calmed down my mind and frowned and said, "It's nothing. It seems that the ventilation here blew out the candles." The dark wind just now was so weird that it made my hair stand on end, but - this place was already deep underground.

It's close to twenty meters, how can it be ventilated?

It is common sense that there may be other ways out here besides the eye of the Yingkunlun storm, but at a place 20 meters deep underground, there are obvious vents, and I am a little confused. I took out a lighter from my backpack.

Based on our experience last time, we prepared some waterproofing measures when entering this time, and lighters can still be used.

With a "la" sound, I pressed the lighter, but to my surprise, the blue flame of the excellent windproof lighter "swooshed" out, and then went out at an incredible speed.

There is something weird about this place, and the flames cannot burn. There are only two situations. One is that there is not enough oxygen in the air, and the other is... I didn't think about it further, but just took out the gas mask from my backpack and put it on.

Seeing that I was wearing a gas mask, the three people behind me were also busy taking out the gas masks and wearing them. Although the heavy gas mask was a bit uncomfortable to wear, in comparison, life was still the most important thing.

After walking a few steps forward, the originally narrow corridor seemed to have reached the end. A small doorway appeared, but there was no door blocking it, leading straight to the other side.

I was curious in my heart. I originally thought that the end of the corridor would be the tomb, but I never expected that the corridor would be like this. Since I was walking at the front, when I reached the door, I had an extra thought and carefully reached out first.

I turned my head and looked around, but the miner's lamp above my head was not very bright. I could only vaguely see that it was a big stone chamber, and there seemed to be some buildings, but I couldn't see anything else clearly.

"What's wrong?" Huang Zhihua asked me in a low voice.
To be continued...
