Chapter 72: Ji Xiu is gone

"Why did they go down?" Cai Wen walked to the side of the motorboat and watched as the paper boat carrying Ji Xiu and the three of them rocked and sank into the mud hole.

"We still need to follow Ji Xiu, and after a while, you will understand. After Yueguang Cheng finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged on the spot.

In the mud cave of the swamp, Lao Qin's body seemed to be frozen, his shoulders became stiff, his joints became stiff, and his hands and feet became stiff.

Lao Qin moved his hands and feet very lightly, for fear that with a little more strength, he would break the paper boat that was as thin as a cicada's wings, and his hands, feet and whole body were so stiff that he couldn't speak, Lao Qin said: "Will this boat be unreliable?"

"Do you want to give it a try?" Ji Xiu said as he turned his face to Lao Qin.

"Huh?" Lao Qin didn't understand what Ji Xiu meant, and the moment he saw Ji Xiu raise his foot, he understood, Ji Xiu was going to step on a rotten paper boat, Lao Qin was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly pressed Ji Xiu's raised foot, and said: "Yes, yes, it's very reliable, very reliable." ”

Lao Qin didn't dare to talk nonsense now, but he was worried about the safety of the paper boat, which aroused Ji Xiu's urge to step on the boat. Lao Qin simply stopped talking and thought about it, although the paper boat was small, there was still room for the three of them to sit down, Lao Qin was at the stern, he only dared to look around the hole in the ground, and did not dare to look at the bottom of the paper boat.

The hole enters the swamp at an oblique angle, and a rope can be seen at the top of the cave, which is the rope that Yueguang Cheng inserted into the swamp, and there is mud all around, but the mud of the swamp seems to be dissolved by some force, obviously there is no barrier, and there is a straight passage inside the swamp.

How the hell is this done, the transporter has more means than I thought. Lao Qin thought in his heart, if he came, he would be safe, so he got on the boat in a daze, why did he just get on the boat at that time.

Lao Qin shook his head, no longer thinking about this, he faced the wall and thought, a few palms in front of him was inside the swamp, there were many strange swamp creatures, all of them had a round and smooth appearance, some were round and looked like a rolling pin, some were round and flat like a saucer, and some creatures with many feet were covered with balls and they couldn't see what they looked like.

Lao Qin stretched out his finger and inserted it into the mud of the swamp, because Lao Qin had been descending with the paper boat, Lao Qin's finger left a trail on the mud wall, and sometimes he could touch the soft and slippery body of some creature.

"In the end. Since the speed of the paper boat's descent has slowed down, Ji Xiu doesn't have to look down to know that she has reached her destination.

Ji Xiu stuck his head out of the paper boat and looked down, Igu leaned out of the camera and shot downward, Lao Qin took a while, and finally stretched out his head and looked down.

"There's nothing down there. Lao Qin said.

The rope that was as hard as a steel pipe was extended here, and there was a paper lamp underneath, Lao Qin recognized that the paper lamp was put in by Yueguang Cheng, and there was almost nothing below except for the paper lamp, except for the mud.

Ji Xiu jumped off the paper boat, her feet sank into the mud, and her little half of her calf was submerged. Ji Xiu stepped on it with some force and said, "There is a field down here." ”

Ji Xiu reached into the mud with both hands, groped in the black mud for a long time, and said, "What is this, it feels a little soft to the touch, but I can't put my fingers in no matter how hard I try, huh? It's a bit hard." ”

At this time, Ji Xiu touched something from the black mud, but the thing was covered with mud and couldn't see it at all. Suddenly, a clear spring fell from above, the clear spring fell into Ji Xiu's hand, washing away the mud on the thing in his hand, Ji Xiu looked up, it was Lao Qin holding a bottle of drinking water, and he was pouring the drinking water down.

Igu jumped off, the mud almost covering its thighs, and Igu filmed what Ji Xiu was holding with a camera. Due to the washing of drinking water, the things in Ji Xiu's hands revealed their original appearance, which was a piece of jade.

The jade piece is only a part of the fragment, only the size of the palm, the jade piece is covered with black or brown lines, the most amazing thing is the texture of this jade, not only transparent, under the slight shaking, the jade piece seems to be filled with water, the light in the jade piece has a wonderful refraction reaction, put the jade piece fragment under the paper lamp, the light through the jade piece can refract the dazzling brilliance.

"It's not easy. Ji Xiu sighed.

"What is that?" asked Lao Qin, who was still hiding in the paper boat above at this time.

"We need to keep going, there's definitely something down there. Ji Xiu's hands poked into the mud again, as if digging into the ground.

Lao Qin's expression was a little solemn, and he said, "Aren't we in the end?"

"Hey!" Ji Xiu snorted, this was the sound of force, Ji Xiu's body was lowered, and his arm sank into the mud little by little.

Suddenly, a large bubble appeared in the mud, and there was a pulling sound of the dry well absorbing water, "Woo-" Ji Xiu and Igu were pulled under the mud.

It happened too suddenly, and Lao Qin's mouth was wide open, not knowing what to do. Only the paper lamp below is shining, the light is not too strong, and there seems to be a black hole below, Ji Xiu and Igu seem to have fallen into the black hole, but they can't really see it clearly, and they are not sure if it is a black hole or mud.

"Do you want to ask Yueguang Cheng for help?" Lao Qin closed his mouth at this time.

"Lao Qin, jump down, otherwise I won't wait for you, every time you come in the slowest. Igu's voice was heard below.

"I'm coming. After Lao Qin responded loudly, he jumped down.

His eyes were black, his mouth was filled with mud, and it didn't take long for him to feel a pain in his buttocks, and Lao Qin knew that he had landed safely when he touched his buttocks. Lao Qin hurriedly spit out the mud in his mouth and snorted a few times in a row.

"Why are you jumping down with your mouth open and making a mouthful of mud? Igu scoffed.

There was mud falling above his head, Lao Qin hurriedly climbed away, smacked his mouth with bottled water, and asked, "Where is Teacher Ji Xiu?"

"Ji Xiu ......" Igu's face changed as soon as he turned around, and he exclaimed: "Lord Ji Xiu was still there just now, why is it gone?"

As soon as Lao Qin heard this, he sprayed out all the water used to use the mouth, and hurriedly observed the surroundings, this was a stone room, which really shocked Lao Qin, who would have thought that there was an artificial building dozens of meters below the swamp.

Lao Qin took out a flashlight from his backpack, the flashlight was very long, at least more than half a meter, and he finally saw the surroundings clearly by the light of the flashlight, as he had guessed before, this was indeed a stone room, and it was a trapezoidal stone room, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with one side of the wall being vertical and the other side of the wall being tilted.

Lao Qin glanced at Igu and said, "If Ji Xiu is not here, you will only shoot me." ”

Lao Qin held a big flashlight and walked forward, feeling a little strange, then turned around and saw Igu staying where he was, and shouted, "Monkey, why are you staying there? Come here." ”

Igu's hands were trembling, and the camera was almost unsteady, and he walked to Lao Qin's side trembling step by step.

Lao Qin felt strange and said, "Monkey, are you afraid?"

"Igu, Igu is afraid. ”

Lao Qin hurriedly took out the camera and pressed the shutter, took a picture of Igu's embarrassment at this moment, and laughed and said, "It's really rare, from the first day I saw you to now, it's the first time I've seen you scared." ”

"Lady Hime-su is not here, and Igu is afraid. ”

Lao Qin laughed a few more times, and suddenly remembered that Ji Xiu was not around, and it was really dangerous, so he withdrew his laughter and wanted to find Ji Xiu quickly.

"Monkey, you know what to do. ”

"What is Igu going to do?" Igu followed behind Lao Qin.

"It must be an investigation, the reason why Ji Xiu is here has something to do with his childlike (harmonious) personality, we have to investigate this place as soon as possible, and then tell him to lose his curiosity about this place, and then we can leave." Lao Qin explained.

Igu understood. ”

"If you understand something, you can shoot it with a camera, broadcast it live, and ask people on the Internet, who knows what this kind of building is for, why there is a building under the swamp in Zeguo. ”

Igu held up the camera and circled as he went, taking pictures of the three hundred and sixty degrees around him, which was only four meters long on the left and right, and the distance from the ceiling to the floor was more than eight meters, like a narrow trapezoidal aisle.

In the live broadcast room on the Internet, netizens everywhere made a lot of discussions, and many people were surprised, although Zeguo has a long history, but almost never heard that there is a building under the swamp, after all, it is almost impossible to complete the building under the swamp in ancient times, so it is inferred that this building is a modern building, and modern scientific and technological means are used to complete it in a swamp full of water, and it can be done to the extent that it is not immersed in a drop of water.

"Judging by the video, the space inside is dry, it would be nice to have an instrument to test humidity"

"Looking at the bottom of the walls, there are almost no traces of water, and even mosses cannot survive, which proves that it is very dry, and this must be a modern building"

"I am sure that although the ancient craftsmen had many unique methods, there was no case of building in the water without being immersed in water, this is definitely modern architecture, check whether there are any records of large-scale fortifications in that generation in recent decades"

People on the Internet began to express their opinions one after another, and they had too little information and wanted Igu to shoot more pictures.

"They said that more pictures were needed, and that the stone chamber was too ordinary at the moment for them to see anything. Igu said, Igu refers to netizens.

Lao Qin stopped, he pointed to the top and said, "Is the one above the door?" ”

The narrow aisle went to the top, and in front of it was a wall, but there was a rectangular opening more than three meters above the ground, and it was not appropriate to say that this entrance was a door, because this rectangular mouth was lying down, and the bottom was two meters wide and only half a meter high.

Igu tilted his head sideways and said, "It's like a door that has turned ninety degrees." ”

"Whether it's a door or not, this is the only exit, Ji Xiu must have gone out from here, let's follow. Lao Qin stood with his back against the wall, folded his hands under his abdomen, and said, "Fortunately, it's not too high, I'll put you on top first." ”
