Looking at the round-headed fish, I really feel that it wants us to follow it into the water. It is impossible for people to fully understand the meaning of the animal. It is just a feeling of mine, but this feeling is very strong. Zhao Yingjun is the kind of person who is okay
I was still looking for something exciting. When I said this, he immediately stopped and turned to look at the fish. He found it very interesting.
"Don't tell me, it really looks like it." Zhao Yingjun lay down on the edge of the lake and teased the fish like a dog. The round-headed fish realized that we were getting closer and swam even more impatiently, trying to swim towards it.
Let's come this way.
If my guess is correct, this thing will be very interesting. An unknown fish in the underground lake is calling us?
"How about we go down and have a look?" Zhao Yingjun said, and went to pack up the messy diving equipment left by the Russians. The equipment was pretty good, and the oxygen in the oxygen bottle was enough to stay under the water for ten or twenty minutes.
When something goes beyond normal people's thinking, the first reaction in people's minds may be to know what is going on. I am wary of underground lakes, but after thinking about it, I really want to know what this fish is going to do.
.Thinking about it, I agree with Zhao Yingjun's suggestion. With a fierce man like Zhao Yingjun, and the rag given by the great wizard in the Tibetan area, the blood-patterned pottery in the underground lake probably won't pose much of a threat to us.
The two of us brought our diving equipment. There are no winds and waves here, and the diving equipment is very simple. The printing on the equipment has been erased. The only advantage of Lao Maozi's stuff is that it is very strong and there must be no problem with the quality. Zhao Yingjun first tried to
Walking in the water, when the round-headed fish saw him entering the water, it jumped up and slapped the water with its tail, looking very happy. Then, it swam to Zhao Yingjun's thigh and circled back and forth around Zhao Yingjun.
"Wait a minute." I looked at the round-headed fish and suddenly felt a little uneasy. I had heard some rumors in the past that many animals behaved abnormally during natural disasters, including the Tangshan earthquake.
The dog kept biting its owner's trousers and walked towards the outside of the house. What did the fish foresee?
"Even if it had a premonition of something, it still pulled us into the water." Zhao Yingjun thought for a moment and said, "If something happens, the water may be safer than the land."
I hesitantly entered the water. The water in the underground lake was freezing cold. When I was dragged into the lake by Lao Maozi for the first time, I was busy running for my life. I didn’t feel anything bad. Now I was trembling all over. As I got closer, the fish’s
The appearance became clearer. It was more than a foot long, and the scales on its body were blue. Only the gills and tail were faintly golden. When I entered the water, the round-headed fish became more cheerful and swam around the two of us.
After a few laps, he swam towards the distance.
"The two of us should not separate. With the rags here, those blood-patterned pottery dare not make any mistakes."
At the beginning, I wanted to save some oxygen, but Zhao Yingjun swam for a while before heading underwater, probably because he wanted to have a good look at the situation at the bottom of the lake. The round-headed fish is quite flexible in the water, but it did seem to be calling us.
Get into the water and swim leisurely. As long as you swim a little further, it will turn around and come back immediately.
The bottom of the lake is like a wasteland that has been abandoned for a long time. It is full of bumps and bumps. Many blood-patterned pottery sinks to the bottom of the lake, all covered with a thin layer of lime. The diving lights on our heads can illuminate an area of five or six meters in front of us.
The round-headed fish always led us on the edge of this range. After swimming for a while, I found that it was heading towards the connecting water channel. After passing through the connecting water channel, it would go to the nearby underground lake.
Suddenly, that familiar feeling surrounded me again. Although I couldn't see anything, I knew that there must be something around us. The round-headed fish swam a little messily, but it still led us.
Just like this, we swam all the way through the connecting water channel and entered another underground lake. As soon as the round-headed fish arrived here, its swimming speed accelerated a lot. We had to use all our strength to keep up. The area and depth of the two underground lakes are roughly the same.
The fish began to dive deep. People like me who have never dived before felt panicked after going down a few meters. We swam to the north shore of the lake, where the water was not particularly deep, and the round-headed fish plunged to the bottom of the lake in no time.
At this time, Zhao Yingjun turned around and motioned for me to look down. Our diving light shone directly down. The bottom of the lake was scattered with some blood-patterned pottery fragments of different sizes. I saw two large pieces of blood-patterned pottery between them.
It turned out to be another round-headed fish stuck.
I don’t know how this fish got stuck, and it was probably impossible to get out. The round-headed fish that brought us down quickly swam around its companions. At this moment, I immediately understood that this guy is quite smart, and he is actually
Lead us over to save another fish.
Interesting fish.
There was not much oxygen left, so I went down to move the blood-patterned pottery away. The stuck fish suddenly swam far away. Zhao Yingjun and I surfaced together, and the two fish were swimming around.
"Anyway, we're here. Let's take a look around." Zhao Yingjun looked at the pressure gauge: "We will go ashore when the oxygen is almost exhausted."
In fact, I don't think I can find anything underwater. It's all blood-patterned pottery, and at most there will be some fragments of bronze. But Zhao Yingjun has this kind of character. If he really doesn't go into the water, forget it. Once he comes down, don't let him use up the oxygen.
He would never give up, and the two of us could not be separated underwater. He swam to the side, and I could only follow.
As I expected, we found nothing underwater. The oxygen was about to be exhausted. Zhao Yingjun had no choice but to swim towards the shore. The oxygen in my oxygen bottle was less than his. When we arrived at the north shore
, I quickly jumped to the surface of the water. The diving light shone all the way up. The moment I was about to surface, I saw a crescent-shaped hole in the stone along the lake. This hole was like the bridge foundation under the arch bridge.
Half of it was submerged in the water, and the other half was exposed. When I came out of the water, it happened to be facing the upper end of the hole.
Following that, Zhao Yingjun also floated up. The crescent-shaped hole was about two meters wide, and the diving light shone inside, just like the winding tunnels under the coal kiln. The Russians' activity range was in another underground lake, here
They haven't set foot in it yet, and the hole is relatively hidden. It would be difficult to spot it from the shore if you didn't happen to dive up from the water. When I saw this hole, I knew that Zhao Yingjun was definitely going to drill in.
But surprisingly, Zhao Yingjun behaved quite honestly this time. Half of his body came out of the water, stayed in front of the hole for a while, and then said to me: "Do you smell anything?"
"What smell?" I sniffed with my nose, and all I smelled was moisture and the smell of the lake itself. Maybe it's because my sense of smell is not that sensitive, so I really couldn't smell anything.
"There is a very light musky smell, which seems to be coming from the hole." Zhao Yingjun also twitched his nose, sniffing like a police dog.
I can't smell any extra odor at all, so I don't know if the musky smell Zhao Yingjun said is true. But my first feeling is that it is impossible. Where is this place and how can there be medicinal materials like musk. I
It is thought that there is something wrong with Zhao Yingjun's sense of smell, or that some other musk-like smell induced him.
"I won't smell it wrong." Zhao Yingjun insisted on his opinion. The old monk who adopted him often prepared some medicines by himself. Zhao Yingjun grew up smelling the smell of various medicinal materials and was relatively sensitive to these.
Zhao Yingjun was only honest for a moment. As soon as he smelled the very light musk smell, he couldn't help it. He smacked his lips and discussed with me to go in and take a look. I also found it quite strange why there was such a musk smell.
taste?
We used a diving light for lighting, and the light was very strong. He climbed into the hole first, and I followed behind. The tunnel behind the hole was very narrow at the beginning, and you had to bend down to walk through it. After about six or seven meters, it gradually became wider.
After walking for a while, I also smelled the musky smell that Zhao Yingjun said. It was very light. I am not familiar with this. It just smelled like it. I couldn’t confirm whether it was musky or not.
The tunnel was very winding. We walked inside for about fifteen meters at most. The tunnel suddenly turned. After going around this bend, a bubble-like space appeared in front of us. Under the light, I saw that this space was filled with
There were many things in it, and the musky smell suddenly became stronger. This space is not the end of the tunnel. There is a passable road at the other end of the space, but so many things here attracted us.
The smell of musk is so strong that if you close your eyes, you will think you have walked into a Chinese medicine shop. There are many and messy things in this space, including stones, tools that are too old to be recognized, and a huge compass carved directly on the stone slab.
There are also bronze objects like the armillary sphere that I cannot name.
The space is about more than 200 square meters. I still feel strange. How come there is such a strong smell of musk here? This feeling is really like being in a fog. I subconsciously pressed close to the stone wall, and followed
Zhao Yingjun walked slowly to the side. Maybe because he was in a nervous mood, the light was all shining parallelly. If he was not careful, he kicked something under his feet, which made his toes hurt.
I looked down and saw that it was a small bronze furnace that I had seen before. It was used by ancient alchemists to refine medicine. The furnace was well preserved. I don't know about antiques, but if you take this kind of thing out, it will definitely sell.
Good price.
Zhao Yingjun was attracted by this bronze furnace. He squatted down and took a closer look. After watching it for two minutes, he suddenly raised his head and said to me: "Don't you think this furnace is well preserved?"
"It's pretty good." I didn't know what he wanted to say, so I looked at him inquiringly.
"Damn! Evil." Zhao Yingjun stood up, glanced around, and said to me: "In this environment, if the stove is left alone, even if it does not break, it will at least grow green and rust. Look, this
There is very little rust on the stove, and the grooves on the stove body are filled with old mud."
"You mean?" I was startled, and followed him and started to scan around.
