After Dong Xiaowei shouted a few times, he didn't see anyone below responding, so he shouted: "Pull the rope and take us up." ”

I couldn't help but frown. I remember, before we came up, there were six or seven people down there, and the ghost-faced shark could kill them all in one blow?

Dong Xiaowei turned his head and shouted, "No. 3, pull us up, hurry up!"

As soon as Dong Xiaowei's words fell, there was an explosion in the water, and the ghost-faced mackerel broke out of the water close to the rock wall, and the mouth of the fish that opened to the limit was like a guillotine held up by someone, and it went straight to the feet of the three of us and devoured it.

When I instinctively retreated upward, the rope in my hand was also suddenly pulled upward. I just felt as if I had risen more than a meter out of thin air, and the sharp teeth of the ghost-faced shark seemed to be sticking to the soles of our feet and speeding through them. The air that erupted from the fish's mouth instantly poured into my trousers, and the fishy cold wind suddenly made me shiver.

I originally thought that the ghost-faced shark would fall back into the water after a blow, who would have thought that the other party would forcibly insert the two front fins into the rock wall at the moment when the sharp teeth were closed, and hung the body weighing no more than a few hundred catties in the air with the strength of the two fins, and once again opened the huge mouth of the fangs, and sucked the surrounding air into the abdomen.

The mouth of the fish suddenly opened like a gate of hell suddenly opened under my feet, and the air flow sucked into the abdominal cavity by the ghost-faced mackerel was like a ghost crying out of the gate of hell, desperately pulling our bodies, trying to drag us into the bottomless hell.

My hands holding the rope slid down involuntarily, and suddenly a violent burst of gunfire rang out above my head. As the red light of the bullets flashed through me like a torrential rain, I quickly reached out and grabbed the crack in the rock, trying to stabilize my body as much as possible, for fear that the people above would not pay attention and knock me into the water.

I looked down and waited for the gunfire to stop, but I felt the air flow under my feet suddenly increase a little. By the time I turned my head to look again, the ghost-faced shark had already climbed up the rock wall, and its flickering teeth were soon close to the soles of our feet.

In a moment, Dong Xiaowei shouted angrily: "Jump down!"

Before I could figure out what Dong Xiaowei meant, she flew up and kicked on my crotch. I involuntarily swung towards Ye Xun with the force of her kick, and the latter plunged into the mountain wall with both feet, grabbed me by the collar, and dragged me into his arms.

Before I could fully stabilize my form, I saw someone leap down from above us and go straight to the ghost-faced shark's mouth. Under the superposition of the strength of the jump-down and the suction of the ghost-faced shark, half of the body instantly submerged into the shark's mouth. The strange sound of the ghost-faced shark's fangs piercing through the other's body erupted, and scarlet blood instantly splattered a few feet and landed on my trouser legs.

The man struggled and shouted, "Miss, I am loyal...... Take care of ......" Before the man finished speaking, he was dragged into the bottom of the cave by the ghost-faced shark that fell into the water.

Dong Xiaowei shouted sharply: "Drag us up, hurry up!"

"Pull the rope, quick!" Under the constant order of Number Three, the three of us were also dragged to the top of the cave one after another.

It turned out that there was a large cave above the entrance where we entered, and a circular bluestone altar was placed in the middle of the cave.

Dong Xiaowei circled around the cave for half a circle before saying, "Wang Huan, can you see what kind of place this is?"

I turned my head to look at the murals around the cave and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the execution ground for the Fuxian Lake tribe to deal with criminals." Originally, there were supposed to be two entrances to and from the Water God's Cave, but the upper entrance was closed due to geological changes. ”

Dong Xiaowei asked, "What else do you see?"

I continued: "There are no words in it, only murals, so I can only speculate. If I'm not mistaken, we've been getting one question wrong before. ”

I organized the language for a moment before continuing: "Among the ancient Fuxian Lake tribes, the heaviest punishment was not the death penalty, but the transformation of the prisoner into a water god. Of course, at that time, they may not have been called water gods, but were given some kind of lowly title, because they were just slaves, or food for ghost-faced mackerel. ”

"These water gods live in this cave for the rest of their lives, preying on nearby frogs, lake fish, poisonous snakes and monkeys. I pointed to one of the murals and said, "This painting is the scene of the water god eating." And, you see, every water god is eating what corresponds to their appearance. Therefore, the water gods we have always seen are the most in the shape of a fish, followed by a frog, a snake again, and the least is a monkey. ”

I moved on to the next painting: "This painting is probably about the sorcerer leaving some kind of hope for the god of water, that is, they can be redeemed by asking the god for forgiveness, which is how we see the gate of worship of the god of water." ”

"In fact, the results are similar to what we analyzed in the Lonely Mountain Cave. Even if the water god leaves the cave, he will not be truly redeemed, but will become a tool for the tribe to create witch warriors. ”

I turned to look at the bluestone platform and said, "This is where the tribal wizards made the water god. After the water god is formed, it can probably multiply, but the probability is very low, on the contrary, it is more likely that a person will mutate after being bitten by the water god. This is probably the reason why the water god has survived until now. ”

Dong Xiaowei groaned: "There is some truth in your statement. But what happened in the cave of the lonely mountain makes me feel so contradictory?"

"It's not surprising. I explained, "The method of creating the warriors of the Wu clan is the secret of the tribal wizards, and even if the Chu people defeat the tribe and find the Shark Palace, they may not be able to crack the secrets of the tribal wizards." ”

"If we are not mistaken, the wizards of the ancient Dian Kingdom once tried to combine the witchcraft of the Chu Kingdom with the secret methods of the Fuxian Lake tribe. This junction is on the body of the python. ”

"The original body of the Wu warrior was fed by the Forming Water God before it could be sent to the Lonely Mountain Cave for further transformation. The final step is the key to creating a Wiccan warrior. If the Chu people want to create warriors who can be controlled, they must change the last step. That's why we see a kind of plausible altar of the Wicans. ”

I paused when I said this: "I guess the Chu people didn't succeed, otherwise, they would have destroyed all the original Wu warriors." If I'm not mistaken, the Chu people only found a secret method to control the warriors with a golden mask and a witch secret medicine, and this secret method may not be successful. ”

I changed my words and said: "In this way, the Wu warriors made by the Fuxian Lake tribe have become a kind of chicken rib existence, which has no meat to eat and tastes discarded. The king of Dian simply turned the palace of the shark king into a place of refuge. Because they don't know if the Qin people will enter the Yunnan land, let alone whether the Chu people will settle accounts after stabilizing their position. The Shark King's Palace, guarded by a hundred and ten Wu warriors, can at least ensure their safety. ”

"Later things, of course, were not as pessimistic as they thought, the Qin people were not interested in Yunnan, and the Chu people did not ask for guilt, but the ancient Dian Kingdom gained a firm foothold in Yunnan. The ancient Dian Kingdom naturally gave up Fuxian Lake, which was not suitable as the national capital, and moved the capital to another place. ”

"At that time, they may not have completely given up on the plan to cultivate Wu warriors, but left the wizard to continue to explore the secret methods of the Wu clan in the ancient city of Fuxian Lake. ”

"The temple that Chen Mingyu mentioned is probably something left by the wizard at that time. The sorcerers of the Chu State deliberately made the bronze tree, one is to govern the Fuxian Lake tribe, and the other reason may be to attract the descendants of the tribal sorcerers. You must know that before the Spring and Autumn Period, wizards and gods were the symbols of the tribe, if the wizards of the Fuxian Lake tribe still have descendants or heirs alive, they would never watch the bronze tree symbolizing the tribe fall into the hands of others, as long as someone appeared, it was not difficult for the Chu people to reveal the true secrets of the warriors of the Wu clan. ”

I paused again before saying, "There is no record of the sinking of the ancient city of Fuxian Lake, but I think it is not because of geological changes that the ancient city sank completely, otherwise, the buildings in the ancient city would not have been so intact." ”

"If the ancient city did not sink to the bottom of the lake overnight, the residents of the city should be able to evacuate calmly, and there should be at least records of the ancient city in other places in the ancient Dian Kingdom. Therefore, I think the reason for the sinking of the ancient city should be on the ghost shark or the water god. ”

"Let's let go of the reason for the sinking of the ancient city, one thing is for sure is that after the sinking of the ancient city, the idea of the Dian Kingdom to create Wu warriors was completely cut off, and this secret disappeared completely with the ancient city. ”

However, the water gods who worship the sorcerer as a god but dare not enter the secret cave of the lonely mountain have been sticking to their mission, or rather guarding their own destiny, and after multiplying from generation to generation, they still remain in the Fuxian Lake, ready to fulfill their last fate. We can be regarded as experiencing the process of some of the Wu warriors by mistake. ”

I stopped and looked at Dong Xiaowei when I said this. The latter remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "What you said may not be all right, but it should be very close to the situation at that time." ”

Dong Xiao's only consistent approach was to let me speak, but he refused to confide in his thoughts. She must know a lot more than I do, but she won't speak, and no matter how curious I am, I can't find out the secret of her heart.

Dong Xiaowei ordered: "Look in the cave and see if there is any missing water god blood." ”

After Dong Xiaowei's subordinates dispersed one after another, the sound of ghost-faced sharks coming out of the water suddenly came from outside the cave.

There's no one down there anymore, what is the ghost-faced shark jumping out for?

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I broke out in a cold sweat: the ghost-faced shark is not going to ......
