Without any hesitation, I dove into the water. I heard Wang Kui on the boat anxiously asking me to get in quickly, but at this time I just wanted to save people and dived into the water without paying any attention.
The bottom of the water is wider than the top. When I shined a searchlight, I immediately saw many black pillars standing on both sides of the underwater stone wall. The strange thing is that these pillars all looked hairy.
I was anxious about the fat man, and I didn't have the energy to look at those pillars. I hurriedly searched around with a searchlight, and soon found a bright light coming from the other side of the hull. I quickly swam over and immediately found it between two black pillars under a stone wall.
Fatty. He was lying motionless at the bottom of the water. The oxygen mask had indeed fallen off, and his body was covered with a layer of black stuff, like engine oil. I even doubted whether he had dismantled the propeller.
In this way, if he hadn't been holding a searchlight tightly in his hand, it would have been difficult for me to spot him.
I didn't bring any diving equipment with me. At this time, I was almost running out of air. I didn't dare to neglect. I hurriedly grabbed the oxygen mask beside the fat man, took two deep breaths, and then tied it to the fat man's face.
At this moment, I suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon. The layer of black on the fat man's body gradually became lighter. At the same time, the same situation occurred on the two black pillars next to him.
The furry thing quickly disappeared, revealing what was inside.
I was horrified to find that the pillars were all made of pottery figurines, and some places were damaged. Something as black as ink floated out from inside, and what was exposed was the white skeleton.
.
I quickly grabbed the fat man and swam up there, thinking that no wonder Wang Kui refused to tell me what was down here. It was really scary to see so many human figurines.
As soon as I came out of the water, I saw that Ban Cuntou on the boat was also wearing diving equipment. It seemed that he was going to come down to rescue us. Seeing me dragging the fat man up to the surface, several people on the boat were stunned, and they all stared blankly.
He stared at me as if he was stupid.
"Hey, could you guys come down and help me? This is not the time to watch a show!"
Only then did they react, Ban Cuntou hurriedly jumped into the water, and helped me get the fat man onto the boat. By the time I climbed up, I was already a little exhausted. The fat man was really heavy. Even though he was in the water, it was still difficult to pull him.
It was still very difficult to get him up. Fortunately, he was wearing an oxygen tank and I could still take a breath at the critical moment. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get him up by myself.
At this time, the monkey moved to my side and turned his eyes to look around me. I asked him what he was looking at. He shook his head, then thought about it and couldn't help but asked me: "Hutou, there is nothing wrong with you."
Bar?"
I looked at him doubtfully and said what problem could I have? Although I was a little tired just now, it would be fine as long as I rested for a while.
Next to him, Wang Kui and the others were playing with Fatty. The diving suit on his body had been stripped off, but no matter how they messed with him, he couldn't wake up.
I felt a little anxious, so I quickly gathered around him, but surprisingly I found that the fat man's breathing had become smoother, but he still couldn't wake up, and his body twitched from time to time, as if he was shaking.
"What's going on? There's something wrong with his condition." I asked. When I looked at the fat man, I saw that not only was something wrong, it was simply terrible. Sometimes his face was red, sometimes as white as paper, and there was a gurgling in his throat.
It made a series of weird noises, but when we opened his mouth, we found nothing.
"Isn't there anything you can do? If this continues, Fatty will be doomed." I said anxiously. I called Fatty here this time. If something happens to him, I don't know if I will die of guilt.
Wang Kui stood up, looked at the water, and said: "Xiao Jiu, take out the things we prepared. For the rest, you carry him into the cabin. We have to treat him quickly."
Hearing from his words, there must be a solution. I was overjoyed, and I didn't have time to ask him what the solution was, so I carried the fat man into the cabin with the monkey.
Ban Cuntou led us into a room, which was originally used to store groceries, but is now vacant. There is a large iron basin placed on an iron shelf.
"You get him into the basin." Wang Kui said.
After we put the fat man into the big iron basin, Ban Cun Tou had already fetched two buckets of water and poured them in, and then brought out a stove and put it underneath to heat it up.
"Damn it, you don't have to do this, do you? Do you want to stew him?" The monkey screamed, and I looked very strange, and a strange word "human soup" popped up in my mind unconsciously.
Wang Kui didn't explain to us. After the water in the basin was heated, he took a package from Xiao Jiu's hand, opened it and took out a bag. Inside was some yellow-brown powder, and a strong smell of sulfur filled the air.
Obviously, this bag contains sulfur.
He first got some and put it into the basin, then found a cup and poured half of it directly into the fat man's mouth.
The water was getting hotter and hotter, and the smell of sulfur permeated the entire room. The fat man was lying in it with only his head exposed, and his whole face was red from the heat, which made us worried for a while.
"Zhonghua, are you ready?" Wang Kui turned and glanced at Ban Cuntou.
Ban Cun nodded. He held an iron bowl in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other and slowly walked to the big basin. Monkey and I looked at each other in confusion. We even had the bowl and chopsticks ready. Could it be that they
Are you really going to eat meat and drink soup?
Just then we saw an astonishing scene. Black stuff began to come out of the fat man's eyes, mouth, ears and nose, flowing down his face like ink. At this moment, Ban Cun's head also moved and he scooped it up with a bowl.
Some sulfur, and then the chopsticks started flying on the fat man's face. Even we couldn't see his movements clearly. But with his movements, the black stuff flowing out of the fat man's seven orifices quickly disappeared.
Out of curiosity, I walked over and took a look. The bowl was already pitch black. I didn't notice it at first, but when I looked carefully, my scalp felt numb and I discovered that the black thing in the bowl was actually alive.
It's like hair, even thinner than hair. Each strand is only one centimeter long, twisting and rolling in the sulfur water.
They turned out to be bugs. Thinking that these things crawled out of the fat man's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and thinking that maybe there are some of these bugs swimming and crawling around in my body now, I felt a little sick.
.
At this time, Wang Kui said: "These bugs will parasitize any living thing they encounter, and they grow extremely fast. What you see now is already very big. Otherwise, as long as they don't move, you won't even
It's hard to spot them."
I suddenly thought that the dark pillars below and the ink-like things floating out from the gaps in the figurines must be these insects. At that time, I really couldn't tell that these things were alive.
But how did these things come about? I asked Wang Kui, and he smiled and said only one sentence: "This is called 'snake beard voodoo', which is a kind of voodoo cultivated artificially in ancient times."
Speaking of poisonous insects, I am not unfamiliar with them. I have seen many of them in the Corpse Washing River in the Taiji Tomb in Henan Province. Those ghost poisonous poisonous and ferocious natures make people tremble from the bottom of their hearts when they see them.
But now I feel that these tiny bugs are more difficult to deal with than those ghost bugs. The key is that they are too small. Who would have thought that a small thing with a needle tip can be very deadly, and even if it parasitizes you
It may not always be found on the body, giving people a feeling of being hard to guard against.
I think this kind of bug should have been parasitic in those human figurines. Like those ghost poisons, the bugs here are also raised on human corpses. The method has long been lost, but I think this evil ancient witchcraft can be regarded as
It must have been a taboo method in ancient times.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly arose in my mind. We have seen voodoo insects in these tombs related to dragon chasers, and this method of raising voodoos can only be mastered by wizards with extremely high status. Is this right?
Does it prove that the dragon chaser is a wizard with a very high status?
In the early days, divine power and royal power were unified. However, with the concentration of society, rights began to differentiate. Royal power and divine power were no longer integrated into one, but became divine power serving the royal power. Even so, wizards are still a very special profession.
Occupation is subject to royal power but transcends it because it represents a belief. Therefore, although wizards have no real power, they still influence the fate of many people because they influence people's thoughts.
If the dragon chaser is a wizard, then his or her actions must have been directed by the ruler at that time, and the ruler's intentions are equivalent to the intentions of the entire nation.
Suddenly, I seemed to understand something very important. The dragon bone that the old man kept was definitely the result of divination by the ancient royal family. The two dragon bone rubbings that were mailed to me came from the same source as the ones in the old man’s hands. These three dragon bones were from the same source.
All of them can prove that a major event happened at that time, and even the ruler at that time could not decide and could only rely on divination to make a decision.
The old man is so concerned about the dragon chaser, and he understands this matter better than anyone else. Did he get some inspiration from the dragon bone, or realize some mystery?
This is a very constructive idea, but it is definitely possible. Think about it, the old man disappeared after seeing the bronze head, and the bronze head was taken from the Tai Chi Tomb, but the Tai Chi Tomb was rushed to
Long Ke's masterpiece, there may be some connection between them.
But there are some questions that still make people puzzled. Why would the dragon chasers build their own tombs here? As wizards, there are few independent tombs. They all have their own cemeteries. As a "barbarian" land, Nanling
, it is impossible to use it as a mass burial cemetery.
