Lao Tian believes that rotten plants, corpses and other things may decompose into dilute hydrochloric acid substances. In other words, there is enough space underground to store these things in the distance from Guizailing to Yinyang Cave.
We couldn't find any other entrance to the underground river. The only one we knew was the black hole at the bottom of the pond.
If there is space under water, there may be ancient tombs. There are many examples of underwater tombs. This place was marked in the notes left by Master Wu.
In the past, people in the Southern Pavilion often said: "Brother, if you don't have a gas bottle, why don't you go dig a water hole with a friend?"
This person will reply: "I won't go, I won't go, I can't hold it in, you can pay for it yourself."
Back in the desert, the group of Chaoshan people named Huang used to dig water holes during their lifetime.
I tried to figure it out, but I was a little discouraged. What should I do if it drowns me?
I quietly said to the leader: "Botou, why don't we go back? It's better to go back to the north. Besides, I'm not sure if there is anything under the water."
Boss seemed to be very interested in the mystery of Guizailing. He said: "Yunfeng, we have found the door. No matter whether there is anything or not, we should try to take a look. This can also be regarded as an explanation to my junior brother."
Even if you talk like this, I can't say anything.
Another day passed, late at night, a few of us quietly came to Guizailing Reservoir. The pond was not bubbling that night.
I discovered a strange thing.
The time when the pond is bubbling coincides with what the ranger Lao Hu said before. He said at that time that there would be soldiers crossing the border two to three days a month.
"Hello? Is there any movement around?" He stood on the shore and pressed the intercom to ask.
Soon Xiaoxuan's voice came.
"No movement, very quiet."
"How's the cabin?" he asked again.
Li Tiecheng's voice came: "No problem, everyone snores when they fall asleep."
This set of diving equipment was old. After making sure that no one was around, Dou Yazai put the tank on his back, checked it carefully, and said, "Then I got off my head?"
"Well, Douya, your main task is to go down and see where it leads. You must pay attention to safety. If you can't do anything, come back as soon as possible."
"ok."
Dou Sprout put on his mask, looked back at me, jumped into the pond with a pop, and quickly disappeared.
You can generally stay underwater for 40 minutes to an hour with a gas cylinder, depending on the depth of the water. Bean Sprout went into the water at around 12 o'clock. He had to get into the black hole at the bottom of the pond to see where the other end leads.
Everyone was worried and kept looking at the time on their phones. It was getting closer and the water surface of the pond was still quiet.
1:05.
1:10, 1:20.
"Come up!"
Uncle Xue, who had been staring closely at the water, suddenly said he saw light.
"puff!"
Dou Sprout broke his water and came out wearing a mask.
He swam hard this way, and when he reached the shore, Brother Yu and I hurriedly pulled him up.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Dou Sprout took off his mask and lay on the ground, gasping for air.
He waved his head and his hands, meaning to ask him to slow down first.
"Ahem," Dou Sprout coughed, sat up and said excitedly, "Oh my God! Bump... your head! You will never expect it!"
"I followed the underwater hole and swam down for more than 20 meters! Then when I swam up, it was very dark there, there was no light, and the surrounding area was like a stalactite cave!"
"Also...Also, I seem to have seen two or three stone men under the water."
Lao Tian hurriedly asked: "Are you sure? What does the stone man look like? Is it the same as the one on the ground in Guiziling?"
Dou Sprout wiped his face, "I don't know, I didn't see clearly. It seems to be the same. Oh no, it seems to be different."
"Speak clearly! Are they the same or different?"
"Fuck! Why are you shouting so loudly!"
"I told you I didn't see it clearly! You'll know if you go down and see for yourself! I owe you!"
"you!"
"Don't make any noise, Douya, thank you for your hard work." He squinted his head and looked at the water and said, "It seems there is something wrong."
"Junior brother," he turned around and asked, "when we got sick, Wang Junhua went to the south. Did he come into contact with people from the southern sect?"
