The mermaids believed that these black stones had mysterious powers, and that the palaces built with them could withstand the scorching fire! So they collected all the black stones on the ground and built this ancient city......

The last mural depicts that because of the scarcity of supplies, all the dead mermaids here will be refined into a liquid, which is the mermaid oil we saw earlier, which is used for lighting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to the middle-aged man finish talking about the contents of the mural, Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the corpse bride and asked him, "Is she the bride who was sacrificed......?"

I also turned my head to look at the motionless corpse bride, and although the hijab hijab hijabs her face, I believe she must have been a beautiful woman in her lifetime.

At this time, Uncle Li continued to ask the middle-aged man, "Then the water god on this mural is the terrible plant you said?"

"Yes, the sporangia of this plant should mature every seven years, and if an animal touches it in the meantime, it will spew out spores. And this underground water vein should have been shaped for tens of millions of years, it is difficult to say that there will not be any Cretaceous period creatures, and it is normal for these mermaids to regard it as a water god who guards the water veins. The middle-aged man said.

As the team doctor in the team, Ye Zhiqiu was most concerned about whether she could find a water source, so she hurriedly asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, have you found a water source here?"

The middle-aged man nodded affirmatively and said, "I found it, this was originally a temple used for sacrifices, and below the temple is a water cellar that supplies drinking water to the whole city." ”

I looked at the middle-aged man's chapped lips and suddenly wondered, why didn't he drink the water when he had it? If there was no problem with the water, then he must have a problem!

The middle-aged man led us to the entrance of the temple's water cellar, which was not a hidden place, but when I approached, I was still shocked by the architectural skills of the ancients.

This is a water cellar the size of a basketball court, and the water surface is calm like a mirror......

Suddenly, my heart tightened, and the familiar feeling returned, only this time it was a little different, I didn't see any pictures, but I could hear countless voices whispering, men and women, old and young...... For a while, I was in a trance.

The light in this was very dim, so everyone turned on the wolf's eye flashlight in their hands, and under the first light, they found that although it was a stagnant water, it was crystal clear.

Zhao couldn't wait to fill a kettle with a pot of water and send it to his mouth!

"Wait! Let's heat this water up before drinking! It's not living water after all. Ye Zhiqiu said worriedly.

But Zhao Qiang shook his head and said: "Don't worry, this water must be living water, otherwise it would have dried up a long time ago, presumably there must be underground water veins under this water cellar!"

After hearing this, everyone also felt that what he said made sense, Liu Ziping also scooped a handful in the water with his hand and put it on his nose to sniff lightly, and then dipped his tongue in a little bit before saying to everyone: "There is no peculiar smell, you should be able to drink!"

When everyone heard this, they began to pour water into their kettles, only Ding Yi walked deeper into the cellar with a puzzled face, and he kept shining a wolf-eye flashlight into the water as he walked.

Suddenly, a pale human face appeared in the water......

I still looked at this stagnant water with some hesitation, and a strong uneasiness made me wonder, can the water here really be drunk? Why is there only a corpse bride in a wedding dress left in the huge ancient city? Just when one question after another appeared in my heart, I suddenly heard Ding Yi shout, "Don't drink, there is something in the water!"

But at this time, Zhao Qiang and Liu Ziping had already taken a sip, and they looked at Ding Yi with a frightened face......

In fact, after hearing Ding Yi's voice, I immediately understood that there should be corpses here, and there were quite a few of them!

Although I had been mentally prepared for this, when I saw the slightly swollen corpse in the water, I still threw up my head, after all, it was the first time I had seen such a large number of corpses.

As soon as they saw my situation, they knew that there must be something disgusting in the water, especially Zhao Qiang and Liu Ziping, who had just drunk the water, had even more ugly faces......

When they walked to the place where Ding Yi and I were, and saw the contents of the cellar clearly, they immediately vomited one by one......

I tried hard for a long time to suppress the feeling of tumbling in my stomach, and then I began to observe the corpses in the water.

Judging by the clothes of these people, they should be the original inhabitants of the ancient city, since they have sacrificed their brides to the "water god", why did they all die here?

The ancient corpses in the water have not decayed for thousands of years, probably because the temperature in the water is very low and has always maintained a constant temperature, plus this place has been a confined space for a long time.

I thought that I wanted to go to the front to see it clearly, but I was pulled by Ding, "Don't touch the water, it may not be clean." ”

In fact, I don't need to say that I know how clean this corpse water that has been soaked for more than 2,000 years can be? Now I have a lot of sympathy for the two who had the courage to drink the water first......

Uncle Li looked at the corpse in the water, his face was very ugly, and said, "It seems that this water source is no longer usable, we have to find other ways to find water." After saying that, he turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Do you know where there is still a water source for drinking?"

The middle-aged man was also surprised to see the corpses in the water, and kept muttering, "How could this be? Why didn't I find these corpses before......?"

After a while, he came back to his senses and replied with a desperate face: "No, I have searched all over this ancient city, and there is only one water cellar here." ”

The crowd was full of despair, could it be that we should all die of thirst in this?

Just when everyone was worried about how to find water, Ding Yi suddenly whispered to me, "Be careful of this middle-aged man, he is not a living person." ”

Hearing him say this, my heart "chuckled", don't you really let me guess, right? At this time, I looked at the middle-aged man, and sure enough, his face turned blue and his eyes were black, if it was really "him", I was afraid that he wanted all of us to stay here with him, right?

The morale in the ranks is getting lower and lower, as if we are going to die here soon. Uncle Li had no choice but to encourage everyone and said: "Don't be so pessimistic, the water here can't be drunk, we can find something else, as long as we don't give up, we must hope! The corpse here is too heavy to stay for a long time, let's go out first and then make plans!"

It seems that ginger is still old and spicy, and Uncle Li has eaten more salt than we have eaten, so he must be much more stable in case of trouble. Now I just hope that this old guy doesn't lie to me, or I won't let him go even if I am a ghost!
