Chapter 39: The Slate at the Bottom of the Lake

I quickly held my breath and touched it with my hand. It turned out to be a transparent thing blocking the top. I kept swimming to one side. After I left the range of Zhenlong Terrace, the thing disappeared. I

Only then did it finally surface.

There was a tingling sensation in my eyes, ears, mouth and nose. It took me a while to gasp for breath before I gradually recovered. I quickly climbed up the stone steps to Zhenlong Platform. The three fat men over there came up early and sat on the ground one by one.

Breathing heavily.

"Damn, why are there so many dead people in this place? It's really crazy." The fat man muttered.

I also forgot to mention the airtight compartment at this time, and said: "I guess this was the most noble cemetery at that time. Only those with extremely noble status were qualified to be buried here. Didn't you find that most of the corpses were buried here?"

Are they all old people? Presumably those people should be the elders and priests of the tribe or something like that."

"It's really unheard of to think of a lake as a cemetery. It's a shame they could think of it."

"It's not difficult to understand. This lake may have been regarded as a holy place at that time. Based on people's knowledge at that time, only miracles could explain the existence of this lake. Being buried in this lake was equivalent to getting closer to God. At that time, it was

A very glorious thing.”

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether they are gods or immortals, they are doing our stupid things. I just want to know what we should do next? Although there are some dead people in this lake, I don't see anything wrong. I

I’m wondering if we came here in the wrong place, maybe there’s nothing in the lake here except dead people?”

In fact, I also have this suspicion, but when I think of the many obstacles along the way, I feel a little unwilling to say that there is nothing here. I can only find a reason to comfort myself. Maybe we just haven't found it, and it doesn't mean that there is nothing here.

nothing.

After thinking about it, I said that in this case, we have nothing to worry about. Aren't those people going down? Let's see their results here. Who said that only they can follow us? This time we will let them go.

Those people will be our pathfinding stones.

"Hey, young prince, I find your proposal is really wise. What I like to do most is waiting for the rabbit to catch up with you. It's a pity that we didn't bring anything this time. If we had a mahjong table, we would add more

Peanuts and beer, let’s drink and play mahjong while watching a good show here, it’s a pleasant thing to think about. Tsk tsk tsk!”

"How about I get you another massage chair? If you're tired, you can lie down for a while?" Monkey rolled his eyes and raised the bar. "Well, I'm not telling you, your thinking is too capitalist, this

It's not necessary! You have to put your consciousness up high. What do you call us? You should say that we are risking our lives and lurking in the enemy's rear area with difficulty, waiting for opportunities to move, looking for the enemy's weaknesses, and laying a solid foundation for our future.

It is righteousness for the class to stand up and fight for a chance to win, do you understand?"

"Damn it, Mud Monkey, how come you can get involved in righteousness in everything? Even if I urinate with Gua Ye, it will affect the ecological balance, right?"

While we were talking, the people over there had already made some moves. The fat man once again acted as a scout. With his proficiency in water, it is estimated that no one over there would have the ability to spot him.

After some inspection, the fat man said that there were two groups of people on Shitai, with a total of less than twenty people. Most of them were from Fourth Master Zhang, and the rest were led by the two brothers Wu Jun. Ah

Xue is not here, and the Tang Sword Man is also not here, but there are many new faces.

Fourth Master Zhang is quite domineering, and the same is true for his brothers below him, but they don't even dare to say anything to Wu Jun and the others. Obviously, they know the identities of those people and they are not someone to be trifled with.

Lord.

What Shuiyue said is that all kinds of monsters and monsters are popping up now. And we are now sandwiched between these people like walking on a tightrope. We have to be careful every step. We not only have to worry about the environment, but also people. Our only advantage is

No one takes us seriously. Lice on a bald man's head are two different things from lice hiding in his hair.

Things soon changed. When the fat man came back for the third time, he climbed up to the Dragon Tower out of breath. He sat on the ground and said, "It's chaos. It's all chaos over there."

I quickly asked him what happened, and the fat man said that something big had happened to the people over there. He said that there were five people who went into the water, but only one came out alive. No, I should say he came up half dead, with his head almost gone.

It looked like he had been bitten off by something, and he died before he could say a word. I don't know what evil thing he encountered down there.

However, the man brought something, which seemed to be a slate. The people inside said that there was something painted on the slate, but no one could understand it.

I was shocked. There was indeed something strange in this lake. Fortunately, we caught the opportunity early last time, otherwise we might have been the unlucky ones. But what exactly was the slate they brought up? My intuition told me that the slate must be very special.

It's important, otherwise the man wouldn't have held on for a breath and bothered to get it up.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Fat man, is it possible to steal that slate? I want to see what it is. Maybe we can find some clues from it."

The fat man pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "The chance is not great, but you can give it a try. If we act together, I think there should be a 50% chance."

"Fifty percent is a bit lower, but there's nothing we can do about it. We only have this way, let's go, just take a gamble!"

When we swam close to the shore, we could vaguely see about ten figures on the stone platform. Now they seemed to have merged into one, and they were all sitting around discussing something. The dead person the fat man was talking about

I didn't see it, I guess it was taken away.

We slowly approached it. The water was very quiet. The slightest movement would reveal our whereabouts. The fat man gave us a trick, asking us to swim with our faces up. Although the speed was slower, the movements were very fast.

Small, if you can't do it, just get into the water and sneak in. No matter what, try not to be discovered.

When we were still dozens of meters away from those people, the four of us separated. The fat man was on the front to attract the attention of those people, the monkey was on the side, and Shuiyue and I went to steal the stone slab, and then went to Zhenlong.

Convergence at Taiwan.

Shuiyue and I got ashore a hundred meters away from the left. When we were still about thirty meters away from the stone platform, the crowd on the stone platform suddenly became chaotic. After shouting and screaming, half of the people

They jumped directly into the water, and the remaining six or seven people divided into four and ran towards the darkness on the right. In the end, only three young people were left waiting on the stone platform.

In the darkness, we quietly reached the edge of the stone platform. The stone platform was about two meters above the ground. It would be difficult for people hiding below to find us.

From here, I can already see the slate, which is kept by a young man in his twenties. Judging from his attitude, he seems to care about this slate very much. He has always held it tightly in his arms. The other two

Someone was standing by his side. However, they didn't look nervous. They probably didn't think anyone would dare to snatch their things.

Shuiyue made a gesture to me, and I slowly squatted down. She stepped on my shoulders and suddenly jumped onto the stone platform. I couldn't see what was happening on the top, and I only heard two screams.

In almost less than a minute, I saw Shuiyue jump down from the stone platform, and then took my hand and ran quickly into the darkness next to me.

We ran to the lake and plunged into the water. At this time, two gunshots were heard from behind, but it was already too late. Shuiyue and I had already swam about ten meters, and then sneaked all the way, which took about ten minutes.

It's time to swim back to Zhenlongtai.

We climbed up panting and saw that the monkey had come back, but we did not see Fatty. I was not worried about this. With Fatty's methods, no one could catch him underwater.

"Xiaoyue, what happened to those three people?" I asked her subconsciously.

Shuiyue threw the slate to me, rolled her eyes at me and said, "Don't worry, I know you don't like that. Thanks to you, they are all living well."

I smiled sheepishly, maybe because I was too kind, but her words still made me feel relieved, and then I focused on the stone slab.

You can tell at a glance that this stone slab is from thousands of years ago. It is severely corroded. There is indeed a painting on it, but it is not painted with paint, but carved. Otherwise, it would not be preserved to this day.

When I saw this painting clearly, I couldn't help but feel shocked. If anyone who came here this time could understand this painting, I'm sure I'm the only one. Because this painting is what I saw when I first entered the cave.

At that time, the picture on the observatory was composed of white dots gathered by the moonlight. It was only the reverse side, but it was exactly the same as the bottom pattern of the ten-fold coffin, and it was the front side.

There are many small concave dots on it forming a spiral circle, with some small lines connecting them in the middle, just like galaxies in the sky.

But there is something extra on this stone slab. There is a square pattern in the middle, and there is a person standing on that square, with three heads and six arms, just like the mural we saw. However, the whole pattern is

It is combined with the bottom of the ten-layered coffin and the mural.

"How's it going? My little prince, did you find anything special?" The fat man came back without knowing when, and he was breathing heavily and staring at me.

I gave him a thumbs up and said, "This time we did not work in vain. I have already got some clues. If you give me a little more time, I think I will be able to find a solution soon."
