Zhou Shi was horrified and quickly ran over to see what was going on.
What he kicked away was a small iron box, and the head rolled out of it.
After confirming that the yin energy was normal with a fire seal, he carefully turned the head over and looked at it carefully.
A female face with exquisite facial features. Although not as beautiful as Luo Ziqing, she can still be called a beauty.
The most important thing is, if you don’t look at the teeth and eyes, this face looks exactly like Xu Linger!
"Xu Ling'er's head is here, is her body buried under the withered willow?"
That's right, no wonder the resentful spirit appears next to the withered willow, and those weird hairs grow out of the well. The two forces belong to the half-ghost Xu Ling'er, but they are artificially divided into two parts.
Zhou Shi carefully repackaged the box and tied it around his waist.
He couldn't help but sigh that his courage had improved amazingly this month.
"This underground space can be said to be a tunnel. I don't know where it will lead."
It was still far away from the time agreed with Luo Ziqing. He wanted to explore as deep as possible into the corridor, so he went back underwater to take a deep breath, and then strode towards the depths of the corridor.
As he walked, he counted the steps in his mind to prevent him from collapsing on the way back due to lack of oxygen.
As I walked, I heard a faint sound in my ears.
"It's the sound of water!"
He took a deep breath and could only suppress his excitement and keep his stride length and frequency as stable as possible.
The air in the corridor is thin, making it difficult to maintain breathing. But as long as there is running water, he can explore forward without the restriction of breath holding time.
Of course there are risks, but Zhou Shi is confident enough that he thinks it's worth a try.
The sound of the water became louder and louder, and his breath was almost over. At this time, there was a buzzing in his skull, and the blue scenery in his field of vision began to glow yellow-green.
"Quick, quick..."
The smooth ground reaches the end, and a river appears in front of you!
Underground river! Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief with a double entendre, hurriedly stepped forward, buried his head in the water, and took a few deep breaths.
"It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."
After the brain recovered from the state of hypoxic shutdown, Zhou Shi began to summarize what he found in the tunnel.
"I used to wonder how the stagnant water could be so clean. It turns out that the principle of the connector is used: when it rains or water is artificially injected into the well, the water levels on both sides of the connector rise at the same time, and the hidden side will overflow.
, intersects with this underground river. This design can prevent the water in the fake well from becoming dirty and smelly, and enhance the concealment."
But why did the water level in the well rise abnormally, leading Zhou Shi to discover that the well was fake?
"The well was sealed half a year ago. Half a year ago it was early spring, the flood season, and the groundwater level was high. So the water level in the fake well had to be raised to avoid being discovered? That's not right. There was so much money piled at the bottom of the well. If I hadn't put it
When the money is removed, the connector is almost blocked...
"So the silver should have sunk to the bottom of the well in a hurry before the well was sealed! This can explain why the water in the well rose and why this ingenious mechanism was abandoned."
Thinking along this line of thought, Zhou Shi quickly understood the reason why Xu Ling'er's head was in a different place.
"Put her head here, and the evil spirit transformed from her ghost can use part of its power to guard the well and prevent anyone from entering the bottom of the well and the underground tunnel. What a sinister design."
Zhou Shi just felt nauseous for a while. In order to guard these unexplained money, a girl had to have her head removed and turned into a ghost to wander the world...
Needless to say, the person who came up with this design must be a person who has a lot of research on the Yin Gate, and may even be the evil obstacle in the Yin Gate. In this case, Zhou Shi has the obligation to clean up the Yin Gate.
"Putting money aside in advance, the key is the empty coffin in this corridor."
Iron coffins used to seal walking corpses are mostly used for corpses that have undergone transformation. Once a corpse begins to undergo transformation, it will inevitably turn into a walking corpse. At this time, the most sensible way to deal with it is to directly cremate it. But people in this era
It is important to have the whole body and tail intact, and it is difficult to accept a cremation that is equivalent to crushing the bones and scattering ashes, so an iron coffin is used.
"This thing doesn't exist and is reserved for backup, so it either doesn't exist yet, or it has been used, but it didn't work. In any case, the person who dug this tunnel once needed to deal with a walking corpse, but in a hurry, the iron was removed.
The coffin was abandoned in the corridor.
"Yes, in a hurry. Whether it is the silver at the bottom of the well or this iron coffin, there are obvious traces of 'hurried abandonment'."
Who spent so much effort to build this tunnel, and why was it abandoned in such a hurry?
Wu Zhaokun is of course the most suspected at present, but Zhou Shi has a strange hunch that the construction of this corridor may not be related to Xu Ling'er's death.
We can only deduce so much based on the current clues. Zhou Shi pulled his head out of the water and prepared to return.
"Wait a minute, it's better to move all the money out, but it's too slow to move it one by one..."
He had an idea and stood beside the turbulent underground river, aiming at the earthen wall of the corridor and giving him a sharp slap.
His skills as a monument shooter have reached a new level, and he can now initially control the internal force of the shot to move inside the target, allowing the target to be destroyed in the way he wants.
The geology at this depth is dominated by rocks with relatively low hardness. Under the action of the stone builders, the rocks collapsed in a small area, blocking the way of the river.
Zhou Shi turned around and ran away. The blocked river water poured into the slightly sloping corridor and rushed towards the wellhead hidden underground.
He jumped into the water, rushed into the bottom of the well covered with silver, and returned to the ground along the original path.
"Luo Ziqing!"
The long tail took him back to the ground. Luo Ziqing saw him coming out and showed an unhappy expression.
"Why did you come out?"
"You seem disappointed?" Zhou Shi was annoyed. Wasn't this a curse on him?
"I haven't had time to use this yet..." Luo Ziqing stroked the gold fish on her finger and said sadly.
This girl...
"When I need you later, please stand back."
The two of them dragged the sleeping government servant and retreated to the courtyard wall with the silver they had just fished out. They heard a dull sound coming from the ground, and it gradually grew louder, as if there was a giant beast roaring underground! p>
Suddenly, a water dragon rushed out of the well and fell back to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Wow, this is..." Luo Ziqing exclaimed.
Zhou Shi just used gravel to block the underground water channel, allowing the river water to rush into the corridor, and its huge pressure rushed the silver at the bottom of the well out of the well, creating this scene.
Thousands of taels of silver were scattered around the wellhead, and the wellhead turned into a fountain, spouting water columns several feet high.
This is indeed easier.
Zhou Shi clapped his hands and said to Luo Ziqing: "Now, let's go visit a noble person."
