Song Qian was startled and hurriedly turned over in the water to push the body away.
Fortunately, this corpse was the same as the one before. There were no signs of being a fake corpse, it just floated over.
Ji Han and the three of them swam to Song Qian's side, but when they looked at the corridor in the inner courtyard, everyone couldn't help but be speechless.
I saw seven or eight pale corpses floating in the corridor.
These corpses, both male and female, were all wearing very few clothes, their bodies were pale, and their eyes were wide-eyed.
But the body seemed to be still very soft and showed no signs of decay. It was floating in the water as if a living person was dancing.
Good guy, if Zhao Wangdai in the previous game was so angry after seeing this, he did so many tricks, and the corpses were still broken in the end, and these corpses were soaked in the water, but they were not rotten at all.
However, because these corpses have chains tied to their feet, they will not leave the building even if they are floating in the water.
Ji Hanxin said that everyone still had their eyes open. It really didn't look like they were thrown into the water after death, but rather like they were drowned alive.
Did these people all die from some kind of waterboarding?
I have read before that there is a punishment called "cement shoes" in Europe, which is specifically targeted at enemies and traitors.
Place the prisoner's feet in an empty basin, and then pour in cement. When the cement dries, heavy cement blocks will form on the prisoner's feet. At this time, sink the prisoner to the bottom of the water and watch him sink in despair.
Drowned alive.
Think about how difficult it is to drown a person in foreign countries, or how simple and clear it is to soak a pig in a cage in ancient my country.
But if you want to drown someone, just tie it to a heavy object, and there is really no need to lock it under the water.
What is the purpose of locking these people here?
The four of them looked around to make sure there were no traps before continuing to swim forward.
Before entering the main hall of the temple, everyone was attracted by a well platform in the corner.
It was a shaft about two meters wide.
The four people swam over and looked into the well, but there was nothing in the well except bottomless darkness.
As expected:
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss becomes embarrassed.
Eggplant made a gesture of spreading its hands towards everyone, as if to say:
"Fuck, I don't understand."
Ji Han could also explain what he meant. After all, it was quite strange to see a well in an underwater courtyard.
Eh? If there is a well here, doesn't it mean that there was no water here before? If there was water here before, why would we build a well?
However, the video of the Pre-Qin Nine Star Mirror clearly shows that there was water here thousands of years ago.
Unless someone in ancient times built houses in the water and dug deep wells.
Isn't that sick? Could it be that it's the Dragon King's mansion? The Dry Sea Dragon King in the desert?
I can't figure it out, but now is not the time for communication. Ji Han can only save his doubts first and talk about it later.
Just when Ji Han was about to leave, he looked up and saw everyone's hair floating directly upward.
Ji Han, who discovered something, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the three of them, and then asked everyone to look at him.
Then Ji Han leaned half of his body towards the well mouth. As Ji Han expected, his hair was flying towards the top of the well mouth.
The three of them instantly understood what Ji Han meant:
This well is actually flowing out.
Although the water flow is very weak and can hardly be felt by the body, it can still be judged by the movement of the hair.
However, this can only be written down first, and it is not a major discovery. The four of them continued to swim towards the main house in the courtyard.
Most of the walls here are rotten and falling off, and the wooden doors and windows have basically been damaged.
The stone platform in front of the main hall was also empty, not even a Buddha statue.
Ji Hanxin said that this temple was too stingy. It didn't even build a Buddha statue. How could it suppress ghosts?
Why don't we call it a ghost temple? Let's call it a ghost inn.
Not only are there no clues, there are no objects recording the construction of the temple.
This is indeed a bit strange. Logically speaking, any temple under construction would brag about its construction history, but there is nothing here except a landmark.
The four of them came out of the main room and prepared to swim to the courtyard beside the statue.
This time Eggplant swam up first to check the situation, but as soon as he went up, he swam down again and stopped everyone.
No one understood what he was doing, so Eggplant opened his fluorescent board and wrote two words crookedly:
"bright!"
He also pointed to the side of the courtyard.
At this time, everyone was more surprised than afraid. Is there a light under the water?
Are there others besides us?
Or is it a fish that glows at the bottom of the water? I remember that there is a kind of venomous snake fish that uses its glowing tentacles in the water to attract other prey to the bait, and then swallows it in one bite.
But those are deep-sea fish, and there are no fish here.
The four of them looked at each other in confusion. Eggplant motioned for him to go over and have a look first, and then slowly swam to the door of the side courtyard.
He looked inside for a moment and after confirming something, he raised his hand to signal everyone to come over.
Through the door of the courtyard, Ji Han saw a large bell hanging on the ground in the center of the courtyard.
What's even more amazing is that a faint white light leaks out from the gap under the big clock.
It's like there's a light bulb stuck inside.
Everyone was surprised, but did not act rashly. After observing for a while, they saw that the big bell had no reaction.
The four of them swam towards the big clock cautiously.
If you look closely, you will see that this clock is nearly a person tall. The patterns on it are mottled and there is a lot of green patina on it. It can be seen that it is very old.
Shouldn’t all temple bells be hung up?
What is it used for? Is it used as a barbecue grill for hanging duck roasting?
And there's a white light flashing underneath. Is there something luminous attached to it?
In short, if a copper bell with a history of thousands of years is buckled underwater, it cannot be a flashlight when opened, right?
At this moment, Eggplant wanted to reach out and push the bronze bell.
After all, there are so many people underwater, so they should be able to push them away.
Just when Ji Han was hesitating whether it was appropriate to push the clock away, he looked up and saw a familiar red letter lighting up on Eggplant's head:
Danger!
Ji Han quickly pulled out the end of the harpoon and blocked the eggplant.
He shook his head desperately and signaled everyone not to get close.
Eggplant was almost pushed, but luckily Ji Han stopped him in time.
Although it felt a little baffling, Eggplant still listened to the advice, and he also believed that he must have discovered something to stop himself.
Since Ji Han didn't allow everyone to open it, everyone had no choice but to observe the bronze bell carefully before continuing to check other places.
After searching for half an hour, there really was nothing worth investigating.
This ghost-suppressing temple, which almost collapsed, is empty inside and out.
Except for more than twenty strange corpses tied to the building, there is nothing of value.
I couldn't find any areas that could be explored further, no passages, no secret doors.
According to the prompts in the Pre-Qin Nine Star Mirror, there should be a passage or a door for everyone to enter the next area.
But I searched twice and found nothing.
We had no choice but to temporarily go up to Crescent Moon Spring to communicate and summarize the existing information before coming down to explore.
The four people surfaced one after another.
Eggplant just came out and cursed:
"Damn it, you can't fucking talk and it's killing me. Where is this temple? It's obviously a morgue."
