"Forget it?" Lao Itch asked Wu Xie, and then looked at the water at his feet, "I went up - when I came last time, there were still - there were not those gravels in the Jiazi ditch. So...
Calculate, the time when this bust was blown up must have been no more than three years from now."
"It's only been three years. There can't be too much water inside. I think it's already here, so I might as well go down for a walk. Otherwise, I won't be willing to accept it."
Wu Xie raised his eyebrows and did not insist on letting Lao Itch give up. "Then you go down and test the depth of the water first. Be careful."
"Um."
Lao Itch responded, immediately let go and jumped down.
‘Plop’
The sound of entering the water is quite loud.
"Fuck!" The water suddenly reached his chest. Lao Chi cursed and quickly stood still.
Wu Xie had already lowered his head and saw Lao Itch's condition. "The water is too deep. Lao Itch, what's the situation at the bottom of the water? Is it mud or stone?"
Lao Chi heard it and stepped on the bottom of the water, "It's a stone, and it's also--it's flat. I guess this is--the tomb passage of the ancient tomb."
"Old Wu, Brother Ding, when you come down, be mentally prepared. This water is so damn cold!"
Hear the words.
"Okay," Wu Xie replied briefly. Then, while opening his backpack and taking out the tarp, he asked Ding Ze in a normal voice, "Brother Ding, did you bring a tarp? I've prepared two pieces...
"
With that said, Wu Xie suddenly put his head towards Ding Ze's ear and asked in a very low voice, "Brother Ding, his plan is to leave from here, right?"
Ding Ze grinned, nodded slightly, and said in a normal voice, "I don't need a tarp, my backpack is waterproof."
Wu Xie got the answer and cooperated, "You are still well prepared. I will have to buy a waterproof backpack later."
After saying something in coordination, Wu Xie said no more. Ma Liu wrapped his and Lao Itchy's backpacks with a tarpaulin. Then, he first picked up his own backpack, and then shouted to Lao Itch, "Lao Itch, catch the backpack."
.”
Throwing down Lao Itch's backpack, as if he would not give up until he understood Lao Itch's conspiracy, Wu Xie held the flashlight tightly, got into the gap, and slid down the rock wall.
Ding Ze followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them entered the water one after another.
"Damn it, what kind of water is this? Why is it so cold?" Wu Xie cursed unhappily as he slid into the water and felt the coldness of the stagnant water.
"Perhaps it's because the sun never shines here," Old Itch replied, "Take it easy for now, there should be no water in the front."
Wu Xie said nothing and turned on the flashlight.
The light shines straight out.
Immediately, a low stone door not too far ahead, with the top of the door only slightly higher than the water surface, appeared in the field of vision of the three people.
Seeing the stone door, Lao Chi immediately said in an excited tone, "There is a door, let's go quickly."
Lao Itch said and walked straight towards the stone door.
Wu Xie saw this and did not move for the time being. He only continued to move the flashlight light and quickly looked at other places...
Ding Ze didn't move either, pretending to behave the same way.
soon.
This cave is very rough, both on the roof and the rock walls on both sides...
The fact that the whole thing can be said to have no design or decoration is revealed.
Realizing this, Wu Xie frowned slightly.
Ding Ze saw it, smiled, and said calmly, "Let's go."
Wu Xie nodded.
The two moved forward and caught up with Lao Itchi.
-----------------------
Go through the stone door.
The three of them did not move forward rashly, but stopped in a tacit understanding.
Wu Xie moved the flashlight as usual, illuminating the scene in front of him bit by bit.
Only seen.
Ahead is a not-so-wide stone path.
The situation in the stone passage was almost the same as the situation in the cave behind them...the sides and top were covered with bluish-gray rock walls that had been rough-hewn with no traces of trimming at all.
The stone path extended forward, and about ten meters away, it turned a corner. What was behind it could not be seen for the time being.
"This tomb is really --- really big," Lao Chi looked at the scene in front of him and said in a somewhat excited voice, "Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be dangerous."
After saying that, I felt itchy.
Wu Xie and Ding Ze didn't say anything and started to move one after another.
It didn't take long for the three of them to successfully reach the corner of the stone road.
Suddenly.
Because of the flashlight light, the three of them realized that the stone path that followed was exaggeratedly deep, so they all suddenly stopped again.
"What the hell, how---how is this road so long?" Looking at the darkness ahead with no end in sight, Lao Itch cursed while showing off his acting skills.
After cursing, Lao Itch turned his head and looked at the rock walls on both sides, "Old Wu, have you ever noticed that although this tomb is big, it is really well built?"
----Too rough..."
"I haven't--never knocked down a Tang tomb. Is this what Tang---Tang tombs look like?"
Wu Xie shook his head, "No. Tang tombs are usually built inside mountains..."
Bah bah bah bah.
Wu Xie talked about the relevant knowledge of Tang tombs, "I think this is probably not an ancient tomb, but an ancient mine... The stone path we are walking on is actually a mine path."
When Lao Itch heard this, his acting skills improved, and there was a hint of unwillingness to believe it on his face, "No way, Lao Wu, you----don't deceive me."
Wu Xie: "This is just a guess on my part. Whether this is the case or not, we have to keep moving forward and see the situation ahead to be sure."
"If there is a deep shaft going down ahead, or other mine tunnels, then my guess is correct."
Wu Xie said this, then smiled at Lao Chi and asked, "How are you doing? Do you still want to go forward?"
Hear this.
Lao Itch was silent for a few seconds, "Let's go! We've already left - we've come here. It's a big loss to go back now... Moreover, even if this - this is not an ancient tomb, but an ancient mine..."
"We got some ore and made a profit...Old Wu, can you - can you tell what kind of mine this - is?"
"Could it be a jade mine, or other treasure--a gemstone mine?"
Wu Xie: "I don't know much about mining, so I can't say."
Lao Itch: "Then let's go ahead, I have to figure it out, and I will never go back empty-handed!"
After saying something viciously, Lao Chi raised his feet and moved forward.
When Wu Xie saw this, he grinned silently, with a clear sense of pride in his smile.
Ding Ze noticed that he guessed that the reason Wu Xie was proud was because Wu Xie felt that he had the upper hand in the game with Lao Itch just now and was not fooled by Lao Itch...
'Comrade Wu Xie, I'm afraid it's a little early to be proud now.'
‘The exciting drama of this trip to the Qinling Mountains will really begin soon... I’m so itchy that it hasn’t really shown yet.”
Ding Ze muttered in his heart, and at the same time, he turned to look at the very dense darkness in front of him.
‘The first salmon that appears immediately should have been there from the beginning. After all, when this salmon swallowed Li Pipa, we weren’t here yet.’
'The second Zheluo Salmon... was most likely made by Lao Itchy using his materialized ability...'
