I ignored him and walked towards the door while untying the gauze wrapped around my left hand. This time I went into the hole and it was like I had been unlucky for eight lifetimes. The wounds on my left hand and forehead never healed.
With the experience of opening the door the first two times, I felt very calm when I pressed my left hand on the palm print on the door. I was even imagining that my blood flowed into the hollow tube along the groove on the door, and then dripped.
It falls into the copper plate in the stone chamber below, stimulating the guardian spirit of the Holy Mountain who is chained to the iron chain to move the iron ring on the wall.
Not long after, the low sound of gears turning came through the door. We stood in front of the door and watched it being lifted up bit by bit by the iron rope on the winch. After the door was fully opened, the scene inside came into view.
, the underground river flows through the lower left side of the door, so you can still see the flowing river when you enter the door.
"This is the last door. I have nothing to do. Can I rest?" I asked Zhang Hou with a cold face: "You and your people can do the rest."
"Boss Wei, please don't say that." Zhang Hou's face smiled like a chrysanthemum: "This group of people still have to listen to your instructions. If you don't lead them, no one will know what they are doing."
"Get out!" I was full of evil fire, but I had no place to express it. Zhang Hou made it clear that he wanted to drag me all the way to the end. The information in that picture was incomplete. I didn't know what else would be in front of me, and I didn't know if it would be of use to me.
Place. He will never let go until he gets something.
From the moment I saw the Huwei card, I knew that I had lost all initiative. No matter what Zhang Hou said, whether I believed it or not, there was nothing I could do about it.
"Keep walking." I calmly prepared to move on without even looking at Zhang Houhou.
"Okay, keep going, Boss Wei, you are still at the helm. If you have any questions, no one dares to disobey your orders." Zhang Houhou shouted, and the two guys in front of him who were responsible for opening the road began to move forward.
The air behind the third door was very damp. It didn’t take long for the underground river flowing from the lower left side of the door to occupy almost the entire road. There was vast water everywhere, and people could only walk close to the edge. And the situation was getting worse and worse.
Oops, after half an hour, there was no place to put my feet. Even if I pressed my body against the stone wall, the water under my feet could still cover the uppers of my shoes. Being soaked in the cold water, I felt that all the heat in my body was flowing away from my feet.
He was shivering from the cold up and down. The cold was not a big deal, but the unknown objects hidden in the underground river were the most deadly.
As a result, even Zhang Houhou was a little hesitant. In a place like this, some situations can be dealt with, and some cannot be dealt with at all. It is a joke with human life. The two guys walking in the front turned around and asked Zhang Houhou what was going on.
Yes, he thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Go a little further."
"Still going forward? Lao Zhang, if you are going crazy, don't drag others crazy with you. The water is up to your ankles. If you go further, prepare for winter swimming? Master Wei, do you think so?"
I was speechless. If I hadn't seen the Huwei card, I wouldn't have taken a step forward. But the old man could only count on me. Even if there was a sea of fire in front of me, I had to bite the bullet and get through. Zhang Houhou was beaten by Madai
After rushing all the way, I couldn't help it anymore. I contradicted Ma Dad and said to the guy in front of me: "You two, go to the front and have a look."
The two guys had no choice but to step on the water one after the other and walk forward. They told us that the water was still so deep, but there was endless water in front of us. The road was completely soaked in water and we couldn't see anything.
Zhang Hou thought for a while and then ran to me for analysis. He said that this road should usually be above the water, but heavy rain caused the water level of the underground water system to rise, and the road was submerged.
All in all, what Zhang Houhou wants to express is that there must be no problem with this road.
"Let me tell you one last time. No matter what happens in the future, if you think you can leave, just keep walking. Don't ask me again."
Zhang Houhou's temper was surprisingly good. No matter how coldly I gave him, he didn't react at all. He turned around and continued to let the two guys explore the road bit by bit.
There was the sound of treading water all around, and everyone was pulling the rope very tightly, fearing that they would suddenly be pulled down by something in the river. After walking for a long time, the water under my feet did not rise, but if I continued like this, I would not even be able to rest.
There is no place to go, and the physical exertion is too much, and it will be very troublesome when encountering danger. After marching hard for two hours, everyone stood in the water and ate something. Not long after setting off, the guy who was exploring the road said that there was something different ahead.
The two guys were more clumsy than the other, and after talking for a long time, they couldn't explain clearly what was going on. But judging from their tone, there was probably no obvious danger. Everyone followed and took a look, and found that the underground river's course had slightly deflected.
On the right side of the road, there is a narrow area only four or five meters wide, which is very similar to that kind of mountain crack. The underground river seeps some water from the lower part of the river bank and flows into the crack. However, looking at it from our position,
The crack is not filled with water, but there is a very obvious path.
This situation means that the road ahead has been separated invisibly. One is a vast and endless underground river, and the other is a crack as narrow as a ditch. If we want to continue moving forward, we can only pass through the crack.
At the bottom of the four- to five-meter-wide crack, there is water less than one meter deep, but there is a long path above the water. After jumping in, you will feel that the path under your feet is very solid. This place may be difficult to walk, so use
There is a road paved with a single stone, but now it is completely submerged by water.
"To pave a road with so many stones, the amount of work is huge. I think it may not be simply to allow people to pass. I guess they are paving the road to transport something?"
"Lao Zhang, please stop talking nonsense. How many years have passed and you are still here guessing like experts. If you really want to know, I can build a time machine and send you back to see with your own eyes."
Already."
Zhang Houhou couldn't fight with Ma Dad at all, so he gave up and stopped talking. The road paved with stone strips was flooded, and there was water about one meter deep on both sides. The flow was very slow and very turbid. When he shined a flashlight, he saw that
It's such a confused mess, it's a bit scary to look at.
After walking along here for sixty or seventy meters, the road surface gradually rose, revealing the original surface. When the surface was completely exposed to the water, the cracks had also reached the end, and the space suddenly widened a lot. The water on both sides of the road formed two
There is a small eye-shaped pool, and small streams of water are constantly falling into the pool above the head. Shine the flashlight forward and see that the underground river is still flowing. However, the condition of the river bank has improved. Not only is there no water, but it is relatively small.
flat.
"Finally I found a dry place. I quickly went up there. My feet were frozen."
I also feel that I am a little overwhelmed. Although I have been running around a lot in the past two years, my foundation is too poor. Not only are my feet wet and cold, but my lips are also blue. Looking at the situation in front of Zhang Hou, he has
Things got better and I felt energetic immediately. When we passed two pools on the left and right, the people walking in front noticed that there were iron cages one after another exposed on the water.
There are many cages, almost filling up the pool. Most of them are submerged in water, with only a corner exposed. The cages should be made of iron, the iron bars are very thick, and the part exposed to the water is rusted beyond recognition.
Exploring unknown things seems to be human nature. When you see a thing or a corner of something, you want to pull out the rest and see the rest. Several people were gathered around the pool talking. Zhang Houhou might have asked me for advice.
It became a habit, and when something happened, he wanted to get close to me. I didn't even look at him, so he smiled mockingly and asked someone to try to get the cage up.
A guy tied something with a rope and threw it over. After trying several times, it finally got stuck in the gap between the iron bars. Three people pulled the rope and dragged it out. The cage was very heavy, and I didn't know what was stuck underwater.
, it took a lot of effort to drag it out of the water. As soon as the three people exerted their strength, half of the cage came out of the water.
The moment the cage surfaced, several people were stunned. The cage was filled with messy bones, including human skulls, which had been soaked in water. Half of the cage was densely packed. A guy counted them and said there were
Five skulls.
"It's really poisonous! Five people were locked up together to grow lotus flowers." Ma Dad shook his head.
My scalp started to feel numb again. How many cages were there in these two pools? It was simply countless. If four or five people were trapped in each cage and sank, then the number of people who died would be hundreds or even thousands.
"Was... was silenced?" Zhang Houhou stood nearby and guessed, and some people nodded in agreement.
If you think of what you saw earlier, this place must be a large man-made project. Assuming that the people in the pool were all craftsmen who participated in the project and were silenced afterwards, who would be the person who has the ability to launch this project?
And if he wanted to kill the craftsmen, he must have built this place as a mausoleum.
This place was found by interpreting clues from Lu Xiuhuang's handwritten notes, but Lu Xiuhuang himself could not have such great energy.
"So many dead people." A waiter muttered next to him: "Isn't it unclean..."
"Fart!" Before the guy could finish speaking, Zhang Houhou kicked him aside: "Shut up! How can a person who has been cheating for half his life still believe this kind of thing? Do you usually drink too much yellow soup?
Too much, it will burn out your brain!"
"Just pretend I didn't say anything." The guy got kicked and quickly hid aside.
"Whoever says the water is unclean again, I will throw him into the water to explore the way!" Zhang Houhou warned everyone, he was afraid that these rumors would disturb the morale of the army. Our journey was originally not smooth, and if there is another problem with our thinking, the team will disperse.
.
"Pack up and get ready to go." Zhang Houhou ordered several of his guys, especially the guy who was talking nonsense: "Remember my words and stop talking nonsense. The truth is precious that our predecessors bought with their blood and lives.
There is no doubt about experience. Isn’t there a foreign guy named Bu who was burned to death for exploring the truth? If any of you want to talk to him now, I will make it happen immediately."
