Chapter 709: The Pool
The road in front of the stream was narrow and wet, but after a certain distance, the whole cave suddenly widened.
This is an underground karst cave, but under Qin Yu's feet, there are several streams, but these streams do not flow out of the mountain stream, but more towards the inside, and finally converge into a huge pool.
"How deep does this waterhole look?" Xuanxuan came to this waterhole one step later than Qin Yu, looking at this deep waterhole, Liu Mei frowned slightly.
Just looking at these streams, there is not much water in fact, but it adds up to a lot, and I don't know how many years this pool has been stored, and how deep it is can be imagined.
"That's right, the preachers went down to this pool. Wang Rui, who came in last, shone his flashlight around a few times, and finally landed his eyes on the pool.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xuanxuan suddenly found that Qin Yu, who was beside her, squatted down and drank a few sips of water in her hand.
"This is a real pure natural mineral water, very sweet, much more real than the mineral water company's advertisement. Qin Yu raised his head and smiled brightly, at this time, he suddenly remembered the famous mineral water advertisement: we don't produce water, we are just nature's porters.
"When is it, and I still have the leisure to talk about this. Xuanxuan was really speechless to Qin Yu, how could her cousin find such a boyfriend, and she didn't have a proper shape.
Then what everyone didn't notice was that when Qin Yu's hand was put into the pool water, a faint light appeared in the palm of his hand, and disappeared directly into the depths of the pool.
Wang Rui gave his subordinates a look, and these subordinates put down the packages on their backs, untied them, and took out a bunch of equipment from them, all of which turned out to be diving equipment.
"I'll have a showdown with you too, and bring you here. There is one thing for you to do, if you can complete it, then I can guarantee your safety and let you go, but if you don't finish it, then I'm sorry, I can only erect a few more monuments for each of you on the old tomb mountain. β
Wang Rui looked at Qin Yu and the others, and said, "There is a palace under this pool, I want you to go down and help me get something." It's in a box, bring that box up, and you can leave completely. β
"Since there is something underwater, why don't you go down to get it yourself, and you want us to go?" Professor Qi looked at Wang Rui with some confusion and asked.
"Because I can't go down. Wang Rui's eyes looked at the deep pool, and after a long time, he saw the confused eyes of everyone and explained: "It's here." I'll tell you something. β
"Mr. Qin is right, our Wangjiazhuang does have a secret store, which is the mission of my Wang family for generations, which is to guard a box in this underwater palace. It can't be taken by anyone. β
"Back then, that group of preachers slaughtered everyone in my Wang family for the sake of the box that my Wang family had guarded for generations, but it's a pity. None of them took the box with them, but they all died in the forbidden place of my king's house, under this waterhole. β
"My grandfather was playful. I got lost in the mountains and narrowly escaped, and since then my grandfather has been investigating the truth of the matter, but unfortunately, he has not been able to find the murderer until he left. β
"But my father finally found a trace of eyebrows, found a secret room in the house of our dead patriarch, and learned about the mission of my royal family, so he deduced a clue, but unfortunately, the notes in the patriarch's secret room did not mention where the things that my royal family guarded, but I think it must be under this pool. β
"Since it's down here, let's go down and get it. Xuanxuan was a little puzzled, and said with a white glance at Wang Rui.
"No, according to the patriarch's notes, the Wang family is not allowed to enter the forbidden land, otherwise they will suffer a curse, and the entire Wang family will be completely wiped out. β
Wang Rui shook his head very firmly, how terrifying that curse was, it was described in detail in the patriarch's notebook, it was impossible for him to go down and attract Qin Yu and them, just to let Qin Yu and the others enter the forbidden land, which was designed by Wang Rui from the beginning.
"There must be danger underwater, otherwise all the preachers wouldn't have come up, and we wouldn't have gone down. Xuanxuan resisted, but after she finished speaking, she found that no one echoed her, and then she remembered that their lives were now in the hands of others.
"You don't have a choice, go down, get the things up, and let you go, in fact, you are not without a chance, with Mr. Qin here, I believe there is still a certain chance. β
Wang Rui turned his gaze to Qin Yu, but Qin Yu just smiled, but did not answer.
"Wang Rui, they are all innocent in this matter, I owe Brother Qi Nian a life back then, this time let me go down alone, if I can get what you want, I will definitely bring it to you, if I don't come up, I hope you can let them go." β
Professor Qi stood up at this time, looking at Wang Rui with blazing eyes, but before Wang Rui could express his position, Xuanxuan was the first to come out to object.
"Then how can you do it, how can you let the teacher go down alone, if you want to go down, we young people will go down. β
"Xuanxuan, don't be a fool, this matter has nothing to do with you, this is what the teacher owes, it should be regarded as a debt repayment, and after living for more than 20 years, the teacher is already very satisfied. β
Professor Qi's eyes widened, Xuanxuan just wanted to continue talking, but was stared at by her teacher, and suddenly blocked the words, although the teacher's attitude is usually very kind, but whenever her teacher glared at her with her eyes, it means that the teacher has already made up her mind, and it is impossible to change it.
"Professor Qi, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request, this time all of you have to go down, it's just blame, they want to come with you. β
Wang Rui's expression became very cold, pointed to the diving equipment on the ground, and said: "All of you change in, this diving equipment can allow you to dive to a depth of nearly five hundred meters underwater, and you should be able to reach my Wang's forbidden land, I will wait for you outside here." β
"Well, don't fight anymore, maybe this underwater isn't that scary. Qin Yu was the first to pick up the diving equipment and put it on himself, Zhang Haiming saw Qin Yu's movements, and also changed into diving suits with several police officers, and finally several members of the archaeological team.
"Let's all go down. β
Qin Yu said a word, then stabbed and jumped into the pool with a thud, and soon disappeared, Zhang Haiming looked at the rippling water lines, gritted his teeth, and finally jumped down.
After several plops in a row, and finally only a few members of the archaeological team remained, Professor Qi looked at his team members, sighed, and said, "Go down." β
Everyone jumped into the pool, and Wang Rui and his group sat quietly on the edge of the pool, waiting for the result.
"This pool is really deep enough. After Qin Yu dived a distance of nearly 100 meters, there was still a deep place below, and there was no sign of bottoming out, what people were most afraid of underwater was this bottomless sense of fear, but at this moment, a babbling sound sounded from his ears, hearing this sound, Qin Yu's eyes flashed with joy, and he turned around and made a gesture towards Zhang Haiming and the others, and quickly swam in one direction.
There, a dark deep hole appeared in front of Qin Yu, seeing this deep hole, Qin Yu's face showed a bright light, and he plunged straight into it, this is a U-shaped hole, after this U-shaped hole, the depth of the water inside is only about a foot, Qin Yu stood there, a golden light flew out, and quickly escaped into his palm.
"Mr. Qin, where is this?"
Not long after the golden light escaped into Qin Yu's palm, Zhang Haiming and others also arrived, because the water was not deep, Zhang Haiming took off his mask and asked Qin Yu.
"This is the intersection of the palace, let's go together when we are all there. Qin Yu looked ahead and replied.
Professor Qi and the others didn't let Qin Yu and them wait for a long time, and they all entered the cave after a while, and everyone looked at the entrance of the cave curiously, but they didn't expect that under this deep pool, there was such a cave.
"If everyone is here, let's go. β
Qin Yu counted the number of people, ten people were not less, and immediately took the lead towards the front, while the others didn't seem to have any objections to Qin Yu's words, and acquiesced to Qin Yu's leading identity, even Xuanxuan rarely didn't sing against Qin Yu.
The atmosphere underneath is very dreary, there is no view to see, and there is a thick moss on both sides.
"Hey, this is ......"
Zhang Haiming suddenly stopped, looked at the ground in front of him, and let out a startled sigh, while Qin Yu had already squatted down and leaned over to observe the skeleton in front of him.
"What is this?" Xuan Xuan walked over with Professor Qi in her arms, and Professor Qi, like Qin Yu, squatted down to study the skeleton on the ground.
"This is a knight from the beginning. Qin Yu pointed to the armor scattered on the side, "Judging from the tattered Cheng dΓΉ of this armor, it is obvious that this knight was killed by a heavy blow, and from the point of view that his head is facing outward, but the armor is torn on his back, it should be that this knight is running away, but he was directly knocked to the ground by a heavy blow from behind, leading to his death." β
"That's right, Mr. Qin's judgment is not wrong at all, it can be seen from the direction of the skeleton's fall to the ground, he fell to the ground with his face facing the ground, and he suffered a heavy blow to the back, which is consistent with the characteristics of being injured when he escaped. Professor Qi also opened his mouth to echo Qin Yu's judgment, and if both of them were confirmed, the others would not raise objections.
"This skeleton is not simple, everyone be careful. Qin Yu's words made everyone's expressions froze, thinking that in the team of nearly a thousand people, there was only one skeleton left, and there must have been a huge danger inside. (To be continued......)
