In fact, Zhuang Rui's guess was not entirely correct. Gold cakes were easier to carry. That was only one reason. More importantly, in the environment at that time, life was not guaranteed. How could those craftsmen put their thoughts into it?
What about wealth?
You know, more than a thousand years ago, as the completion date of the tomb approached, these craftsmen and designers also knew that they were not far from the end.
In that kind of panic situation, it was lucky to escape with one's life. How could the craftsmen think about taking food from the emperor's mouth?
Facts have proved that they were not blessed to enjoy even such a box of gold cakes, but in the end it gave Zhuang Rui a reason to prove his discovery of the tomb more than 1,000 years later.
"Oops, hell, it's been more than an hour..."
Just when Zhuang Rui was excited about the discovery in front of him, his eyes accidentally slipped over the waterproof world-famous watch given to him by Qin Xuanbing.
It didn't matter. Zhuang Rui realized that an hour and a half had passed since he entered the underground river. He jumped up anxiously. If the space in the underground river hadn't been high enough, Zhuang Rui would have been hit and his head would be broken and bleeding.
.
Reaching out and picking up a piece of gold cake with the words "四儿婿斤" written on it, Zhuang Rui walked towards the water pool. He knew that when he went out, Peng Fei would definitely complain to death.
As for Dr. Ren, Zhuang Rui believes that he will be immersed in the shock of discovering this tomb and will probably have no chance to complain about himself.
"Wow..."
Just as Zhuang Rui was about to jump into the pool, the water surface suddenly rolled, and as a wave of waves surged out, a black shadow appeared in the pool.
"Damn? Water monster?"
Even though Zhuang Rui was brave enough, he was also startled by this sudden change. Movies such as "Anaconda" suddenly flashed in his mind. This Swan Lake covers an area of hundreds of hectares, maybe
What kind of monsters will really appear inside?
Zhuang Rui's mind was spinning rapidly, and his hands were not idle. He didn't even bother to use his spiritual energy to check what the other party was, so he just threw the piece of gold cake towards the shadow in the pool.
"Ouch..."
"Peng Fei?"
The sound of pain after being hit by the gold cake made Zhuang Rui identify the origin of the other party.
"Brother Zhuang... Zhuang?"
Peng Fei was breathing heavily when he spoke. He didn't have Zhuang Rui's ability to hold his breath. After swimming twenty or thirty meters in the waterway connecting the underground river and Swan Lake, Peng Fei almost died of brain suffocation.
I was breathing heavily, and I couldn't even feel the pain in my head.
"Come up quickly, I said...why did you come here?" Zhuang Rui felt wrong, and a bad guy came to complain first.
Walking to the edge of the water pool, he pulled Peng Fei up. Zhuang Rui used his spiritual energy to quietly see Peng Fei's forehead was red and swollen, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, the point where the gold cake hit Peng Fei just now was not sharp.
at the edge of.
"Damn... you, you still have the nerve to say that, after being missing for most of the day, we were almost dying of anxiety outside, you..." Peng Fei was already out of breath, but when Zhuang Rui said this, he almost couldn't hold back his anger.
.
Zhuang Rui knew that he was wrong. He coughed a few times in embarrassment and said with a dry smile: "Ahem, didn't I make some discoveries? By the way, Peng Fei, let me tell you, what I discovered here,
Quite possibly the greatest miracle in human history..."
"Come on, Brother Zhuang, don't talk about the greatest miracle yet. If the two of us don't go out, it will become a miracle that is remembered in the hearts of people outside..."
Peng Fei felt relieved now and impatiently interrupted Zhuang Rui's words. He had never been interested in any archaeological exploration. Seeing that Zhuang Rui was safe and sound, he felt relieved.
"Yes, yes, go out first and then talk, go out first and then talk..."
Zhuang Rui nodded repeatedly. If he didn't go out now, people outside might include Peng Fei in the list of victims.
After Peng Fei took a short rest, with Peng Fei in front and Zhuang Rui behind, the two of them dived out from the pool.
There is suction at the entrance of the cave when you enter, so you only need to pay attention to the water plants. However, it is much more difficult to swim out. You can't help but push away the water plants that are entangled around your body. The most important thing is that the resistance of the water makes the two of them each
Every step of the way was very difficult.
Zhuang Rui didn't care. For a distance of twenty to thirty meters, one or two minutes would be enough, no matter how difficult it was to swim. However, Peng Fei, who was swimming in front, was a little overwhelmed. He had already consumed a lot of energy when he entered.
Now he was rushing ahead again, which made Peng Fei very hard.
However, he had already entered the water at this time, and even if he wanted to turn back, he could not turn back, because there was Zhuang Rui blocking the road behind him. Just as Peng Fei suppressed his blush and paddled forward hard, he suddenly felt his feet pushing backwards.
He was caught by Zhuang Rui.
Next, Peng Fei felt a lot more relaxed. The brother behind him grabbed his feet and pushed him forward hard, which saved Peng Fei a lot of energy. He simply stopped paddling and grabbed the rocks on both sides of the waterway to let his body move.
Moving quickly underwater.
…
"Dr. Ren, no, you can't go into the water anymore. Two people have already disappeared. It won't help if you go down..."
Seven or eight minutes after Peng Fei entered the water, Dr. Ren's expression also changed, and he started to take off his clothes without saying a word, but was grabbed by Battle.
Dr. Ren was very anxious at this time. The reason why Professor Meng asked him to follow Zhuang Rui was, on the one hand, that he could help Zhuang Rui with archeology-related knowledge, and on the other hand, because he was older and could also help Zhuang Rui in life.
Take care of Zhuang Rui.
But Dr. Ren never expected that this was just an ordinary outing and something like this would happen.
This left Ren Chunqiang's mind almost blank. He didn't care about his ability to paddle with water, but he actually became furious and prepared to go into the water to look for the two of them.
"I will go to Ordos immediately to seek help from the local archaeological department and public security organs. Dr. Ren, you must calm down..."
The rough-looking Battle showed the calmness he had experienced in that special force.
Things have happened, and neither sadness nor impulsiveness can solve the problem. The most important thing now is to seek help from the relevant departments and try to find the bodies of the two.
"You're so calm. If something happens to Zhuang Rui and the others, do you know how big of a commotion there will be?"
Ren Chunqiang was about to cry at this moment. He knew a lot about Zhuang Rui's identity after getting along with him. Just when Peng Fei took out the ID of the Central Security Bureau, he could see Zhuang Rui's unknown and profound background.
.
"Don't...don't stop me..."
Dr. Ren was facing the lake, as if he was about to commit suicide. However, after being hugged by Battle, he tried his best to move forward but could not move forward.
"Wow..."
Suddenly, there were ripples on the lake not far away from everyone, and then the water rolled. Two green heads popped out of the water, and they happened to meet Ren Chunqiang face to face.
Ren Chunqiang, who was struggling to free himself from Battle's arms, suddenly shouted: "Water... water ghost!"
When he saw the two green heads in the middle and a pair of green eyes, Dr. Ren's original courage to get into the water suddenly disappeared. His whole body suddenly deflated like a ball that had been drained of the air.
Go down.
Even though Ren Chunqiang spends his whole day dealing with dead people in ancient tombs, it goes without saying that such people are very courageous, but they also have a bottom line in their hearts, and they will collapse when they encounter this bottom line.
Obviously, these two monsters emerging from the lake have overturned Dr. Ren's understanding of atheism for more than thirty years.
"Mom, you are really a water ghost..."
After hearing Dr. Ren's miserable cry, Timur on the side also saw the movement in the water. However, he was much more courageous than Dr. Ren who dealt with the dead all day long. He picked up the bow and arrow next to him and was about to shoot into the water.
Attack any foreign objects that appear.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Timur replied, it's me..."
Zhuang Rui, who had just emerged from the lake, hadn't heard clearly what Ren Chunqiang was shouting when he saw Timur suddenly picking up a bow and arrow and pointing it at him, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
However, Peng Fei's brain was severely deprived of oxygen at the moment, and he was confused and had no reaction to the movements on the shore.
"Yes... is it Zhuang Ruian? You... how come you turned into a water ghost so quickly?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Timur's brain was also in chaos, and the bow and arrow in his hand could not help but loosen. However, he had heard the legend of water ghosts in this lake area for more than ten years, so he subconsciously put Zhuang into the trap.
Rui turned into a water ghost.
"What water ghost turned out to be? I am Zhuang Rui, Nuo, he is Peng..."
Zhuang Rui was a little confused when he heard this. After saying his name, he pointed at Peng Fei, but he was dumbfounded. Peng Fei looked like a monster with a head of water plants on his head. Didn't he look like himself?
Where did it go?
"There are no water ghosts, it's Brother Zhuang and Feizi, Timur, put down the arrow..."
But Bartel was calm enough and could tell at a glance that these two men were not ghosts, so he immediately stepped forward and snatched away Timur's fully-drawn bow.
After Zhuang Rui reached out and pulled off the water plants on his head, he pulled Peng Fei and swam to the shore. However, when the two of them landed, everyone was shocked. This guy was wearing clothes made of water plants.
.
"I said, Zhuang... Zhuang Rui, did you two discover the Crystal Palace down there? How could you stay for such a long time?"
It wasn't until Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei cleaned up all the water plants on their bodies that Dr. Ren, who was lying limply on the ground, allowed his brain to believe the facts he saw with his eyes.
"Brother Ren, we didn't see the Crystal Palace, but we found a tomb of a thousand-year-old ghost. It seems we won't be able to go back to Beijing tomorrow..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, took out a gold cake with his body temperature from his boxers behind his buttocks, and threw it to Ren Chunqiang.
