I rubbed my eyes, turned off the flashlight and looked again.
"Big Ears Tutu" has returned to the smiling look before.
I breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was haunted. It must be a problem with light refraction.
The water in the tomb had spread to my calves. As I walked over, I asked Dou Yazai, "Are you sure? We left the gas bottles outside. Why don't you go back and get them? I'm a little worried about you, Ya Zai."
When it comes to professional deep diving, I am not good at it, so I have to rely on the bean sprouts who have been making a living at sea since childhood.
"Hi, it's okay."
"How deep can such a small pool that leads to an underground river go?" Dou Yazai said confidently: "There are some tips for diving in such a place. I have met pearl diggers in Nanyang before, and they were all taught to me.
of."
Dou Sprout took out a rope, cut a section, and tied the end of the flashlight to the rope. Then he plunged into the coffin, resisting the force of the water flow, and slowly brought the flashlight tied to the rope to the pit.
Because the underground water rises upward and has upward buoyancy, Dou Sprout took out another piece of rope and tied it into a triangular knot. After lowering the flashlight, he tied it in the middle.
He came out and said, "Fengzi, let me go down and take a look and see what's going on."
"I'm in the water. This flashlight hanging at the bottom of the coffin is my beacon. You have to keep it lit, otherwise I won't be able to find the way up."
I said yes on the surface, but actually my heart kept pounding.
There may be coffins and dead people under the water. In addition, people naturally have a fear of confined underwater spaces. I am worried about what if there are some water snakes and water plants under the water, and the bean sprouts are entangled and bitten.
"Then I'll get off. I'll go down and see if there are any tombs."
Dou Sprout took continuous deep breaths to expand his chest and was ready to warm up.
"Be careful."
"Ah? The sun is coming out in the west. You still want me to be careful?"
Xiaoxuan did not argue with him this time.
After finishing speaking, Dou Sprout checked his head one last time. lamp.
Without hesitation, he dove into the coffin, and soon his whole body disappeared into the coffin.
I swam in, tried to open my eyes, and looked down.
The diameter of the waist pit is long enough for an adult man to dive in. The bright flashlight tied to it is like a small lighthouse, guiding the direction of the bean sprouts underwater.
But the visibility of the flashlight under water was limited, and Dou Sprout dived deeper and deeper, and I soon lost sight of others.
I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I went out to get some air and then got into the coffin again.
Time goes by very slowly, kak kak kak, second by second.
I came in for ventilation three times in a row just to look at the flashlight hanging under my waist. It was very dark under the water where no one had been for thousands of years and I couldn't let the flashlight go out.
I have lost my luck and my teeth are blocked even when I drink water. I am afraid of whatever comes.
Just when I swam in to look at the flashlight for the third time, suddenly, the flashlight in the water started to flash faster and faster. It seemed that there was a quality problem.
After flashing seven or eight times in a row, the underwater flashlight suddenly ran out of light.
Immediately, darkness fell under the waist pit, and nothing could be seen.
My pupils shrank sharply, and I was so frightened that I opened my mouth and took a sip of water.
I swam out quickly. I didn’t have time to breathe, so I shouted: "Flashlight! Give me the flashlight!"
Brother Yu immediately threw the headlamp he brought to me. I turned around and got into the coffin, and started to change the flashlight in a hurry.
"Gudu."
After taking another sip of water, I tried to tie up the flashlight, but the more anxious I became, the worse it became.
The broken rope floated back and forth in the water, like a water snake.
The broken flashlight was bought at the hardware store across from Shunde Star Hotel for four thousand yuan. At that time, the boss sued me.
He told me that this is a waterproof flashlight imported from Germany. We have been keeping it for use. Why didn’t it break sooner rather than later? Damn it, it just broke now!
I couldn't tie the rope well, and I was afraid of wasting time, so I held a new flashlight in my hand, turned it on to the maximum power, and waved it in the water.
Holding my breath for two minutes was my limit. Just when I couldn't hold it any longer, I suddenly vaguely saw a small light spot shining deep in the water.
At first, this light spot swam back and forth, as if it had lost its way underwater. When it saw the light of my flashlight, it quickly surfaced towards me again.
The light spot got closer and closer, and I saw it, it was bean sprouts.
My face was so red that I felt like my lungs were going to explode.
The small bright spot under the water was getting closer and closer. I reached down and, under the illumination of the flashlight, grabbed Dou Sprout Zai's right hand.
Go out one after another.
I leaned on the red coffin and gasped for air, my lungs aching.
Dou Sprout was also slumped aside and soaked, and his situation was similar to mine.
Xiaoxuan hurriedly took out a dry cloth and asked us to wipe our faces. Her head was sometimes awake and sometimes in a daze, accompanied by slight auditory hallucinations, which were all caused by fever.
"What's going on? What did you see?" I paused for a minute or two and asked out of breath.
Douyazai leaned on the coffin and gasped: "Stone sculptures, there is a pool underground here. In the pool lie countless stone sculptures of ghost cubs. They are not all big."
Achun said: "Take a breath first and speak slowly."
Dou Sprout gulped and said, "The underwater stone sculptures are almost the same as those in the woods in Guizailing. There is also such a big iron house." Dou Sprouts stretched out his hand to compare the size and said it was more than two meters tall.
"Iron house?"
"Iron coffin?"
"Hu Gong's Iron Tomb?"
I suddenly remembered the wall I had seen before painting.
"Except for the size, what does it look like? Can you see clearly?"
Dou Sprout said no, so he said he saw eaves, a door, and other things, but he didn't have time to look at them because he ran out of time.
In ancient times, burial coffins were built in the style of a house. In this case, people in the industry called it a house tomb. In a few years later, when Yang Bin robbed the tomb of a concubine, the coffin was a house, with doors and windows carved on it, and he used cut stones to make it.
The electric saw was cut into more than 100 pieces and sold to a foreigner for 1 million, which is equivalent to 10,000 pieces.
Also, during the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, an excavator accidentally dug up an ancient tomb while working somewhere in Xinzheng.
It was the Huzhuang Tomb in the middle of the Warring States Period. It was stolen when it was discovered. The tomb robbers used the same directional blasting technology as Master Ji. The coffin of the tomb owner in the tomb is a huge wooden house with a roof.
The doors and windows of the room made everyone in the archaeological team dumbfounded. They had never seen them before.
I estimate that before the emergence of gold jade clothes, this large, house-shaped coffin with doors and windows was the highest level of burial system, and ordinary nobles and princes would never be able to enjoy it.
Dou Sprout said he saw an iron house under the water, I believe him.
During the Warring States Period, there were already a large number of iron wares. At this time, iron wares were gradually replacing bronze wares. With the rapid development of metallurgical technology, we had the ability to build iron houses.
Some historians and scholars in the Song Dynasty have mentioned more than once that the unnamed iron tomb under Zhoukou was moved. As for where it was moved, no one knows.
I see that it is in this pool called "嵵 Pool", in the underground cave near Tianguang Cave in Dao County, very close to the Shun Tomb of Jiuyi Mountain, and can be seen from across the mountain.
So, why did the Five Chou want to open the seventh Vajra Gate and come in? Is it because they simply want to solve this historical mystery and come in to take a look, or is there something precious in this tomb that the self-harming snake wants to get.
I slowly raised my head and looked at the other coffin inserted in the hole in the wall.
