After taking another sip of water, I tried to tie up the flashlight, but the more anxious I became, the worse it became.
The broken rope floated back and forth in the water, like a water snake.
The broken flashlight was bought at the hardware store across from the Star Hotel in Shunde for four thousand yuan. At that time, the boss told me that it was a waterproof flashlight imported from Germany. We have been keeping it for use. Why did it not break down sooner rather than later?
Damn, damn, it happened at this time!
I couldn't tie the rope well, and I was afraid of wasting time, so I held a new flashlight in my hand, turned it on to the maximum power, and waved it in the water.
Holding my breath for two minutes was my limit. Just when I couldn't hold it any longer, I suddenly vaguely saw a small light spot shining deep in the water.
At first, this light spot swam back and forth, as if it had lost its way underwater. When it saw the light of my flashlight, it quickly surfaced towards me again.
The light spot got closer and closer, and I saw it, it was bean sprouts.
My face was so red that I felt like my lungs were going to explode.
The small bright spot under the water was getting closer and closer. I reached down and, under the illumination of the flashlight, grabbed Dou Sprout Zai's right hand.
Go out one after another.
I leaned against the red coffin and gasped for air, my lungs aching.
Dou Sprout was also slumped aside and soaked, and his situation was similar to mine.
Xiaoxuan hurriedly took out a dry cloth and asked us to wipe our faces. Her head was sometimes awake and sometimes in a daze, accompanied by slight auditory hallucinations, which were all caused by fever.
"How...how, what did you see?" I paused for a minute or two and asked, breathless.
Douyazai leaned on the coffin, gasping and saying: "Stone sculptures... there is a pool underground here. In the pool lie countless stone sculptures of ghost cubs, and they are all... not big."
Achun said: "Take a breath first and speak slowly."
Dou Sprout gulped and said, "The underwater stone sculptures are almost the same as those in the woods in Guizailing. There is also such a big iron house." Dou Sprouts stretched out his hand to compare the size and said it was more than two meters tall.
"Iron house?"
"Iron coffin?"
"Hu Gong's Iron Tomb?"
I suddenly remembered the mural I had seen before.
"Except for the size, what does it look like? Can you see clearly?"
Dou Sprout said no, so he said he saw eaves, a door, and other things, but he didn't have time to look at them because he ran out of time.
In ancient times, tomb coffins were built in the style of a house. In this case, people in the industry called it a house tomb. A few years later, Yang Bin stole the tomb of a concubine. The coffin was a house, with doors and windows carved on it, and he used cut stones to make it.
The electric saw was cut into more than 100 pieces and sold to a foreigner for 1 million, which is equivalent to 10,000 pieces.
Also, during the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, an excavator accidentally dug up an ancient tomb while working somewhere in Xinzheng.
It was the Huzhuang Tomb in the middle of the Warring States Period. It was stolen when it was discovered. The tomb robbers used the same directional blasting technology as Master Ji. The coffin of the tomb owner in the tomb is a huge wooden house with a roof.
The doors and windows of the room made everyone in the archaeological team dumbfounded. They had never seen them before.
I estimate that before the emergence of gold jade clothes, this large, house-shaped coffin with doors and windows was the highest-level burial system, and ordinary nobles and princes would never be able to enjoy it.
Dou Sprout said he saw an iron house under the water, I believe him.
During the Warring States Period, there were already a large number of iron wares. At this time, iron wares were gradually replacing bronze wares. With the rapid development of metallurgical technology, we had the ability to build iron houses.
Some historians and scholars in the Song Dynasty have mentioned more than once that the unnamed iron tomb under Zhoukou was moved. As for where it was moved, no one knows.
I see that it is in this pool called "嵵 Pool", in the underground cave near Tianguang Cave in Dao County, very close to the Shun Tomb of Jiuyi Mountain, and can be seen from across the mountain.
So, why did the Five Chou want to open the seventh Vajra Gate and come in? Is it because they simply want to solve this historical mystery and come in to take a look, or is there something precious in this tomb that the self-harming snake wants to get.
I slowly raised my head and looked at the other coffin inserted in the hole in the wall.
