There was silence in the cavern, and the darkness that spread around it was terrifying.

I carefully stepped into the black water that overflowed my ankles, looked at the smooth walls around me, and then glanced at Xiao Yue, who was sleeping soundly behind me.

It seemed impossible to escape from above.

Now there is only one step at a time, to see where this strange hole in front of you leads?

I subconsciously turned on the flashlight to the maximum, and there were two ion batteries looted from the scrapped ambulance in my arms.

Even if they are combined, they can only barely last for seven or eight hours.

Recalling Wu Laogou's detailed notes on Xiangxi in his diary, I had to find the exit as soon as possible in this short period of time.

Otherwise, when the night falls again, I am afraid it will not be as simple as a few poisonous insects and wild monsters.

The cracks in the bricks on both sides were covered with damp moss, and I watched the surroundings with wide eyes.

I accidentally found that these green bricks were covered with strange patterns, which seemed to be very old.

It's just that I really don't know much about history, if Wu Laogou is still alive, standing next to me will definitely be able to say "one, two, three".

The iron boots soaked in black water under their feet trampled on the bluestone bricks, and their movements were unusually slow.

The two-meter-high cave in front of you can barely accommodate two people side by side, and the walls are covered with traces of artificial excavation and delicate patterns that are gradually decaying.

I couldn't help but be surprised, this shouldn't be the tomb of a prince buried in Xiangxi, but after thinking about it, how is this possible?

The generals and princes who were gorgeous before and after their deaths were racking their brains to hide the traces of their tombs.

A tomb with a dungeon on such a large scale would never be easy to find.

"Boom..."

Before I could react, there was a loud thunder behind me at the entrance of the cave, even though it was far from the ground.

But the torrential rain that followed instantly washed in along the narrow hole.

The position of the black water under my feet was increasing a little bit, and I couldn't help but hurriedly hug Xiao Yue behind me and speed up the pace of travel.

In just a few seconds, the entrance of the cave behind him has become a water curtain hole, and the rain washes the leaves and dirt into the cave together, accompanied by the sound of the water.

Tense nerves, sweat sliding down his cheeks little by little.

It was as if I had returned to the terrible Japanese fortifications 800 meters deep underground more than ten years ago.

"Tick tock."

Traces of water seeped out of the surface of the ground and poured out through the moss-covered crevices of the rocks, and the last bits of water that gathered on the two sides of the tunnel turned into a stream of water.

With each step of the boot, which was soaked in black water, a huge splash would splash in the water, as if it were passing through the shallows of a river.

I frowned, and for a long time I seemed to be able to feel the cancer changing in my body every minute.

There are only two months left in the optimal treatment period of three months, and in this short period of time, I have to do everything in my power to find the whereabouts of Yin Zhu.

If you die, you should also die on the way to find the Yin Pearl.

"TM, is this the water curtain cave that broke into Huaguo Mountain?"

I couldn't help but laugh at myself, but I accidentally noticed that the bluestone ground under my feet seemed to have turned into steps submerged in black water.

The brightness of the flashlight is extremely low visibility here, and I can only barely see the scene two or three meters away, but I don't know what to do with Xiaoyue behind me when I get underwater?

The slow pace tentatively moved down little by little, until the fishy black water reached the knees, and the whole mysterious corridor stopped the downward trend.

There was a silent darkness in front and behind, and the huge waves splashed by the black water under your feet were tasted in your mouth from time to time, with a pungent and unpleasant smell.

After about five or six minutes of this, I seemed to feel that the direction I was traveling was getting farther and farther away from the ground.

In the faint light of the flashlight, I could faintly see that the walls on both sides were covered with artificially carved stone patterns.

As it progresses, it becomes more complex and diverse, and it is beautiful.

This kind of ornamentation does not seem to be from modern times, although I am not an archaeologist or a professional inverted bucket, but only rely on the notebook left by Wu Laogou.

It records in detail the specifications and styles of the ancient tombs of each dynasty, as well as the funerary goods that may appear inside.

The most striking thing is the huge wall lined with dozens of brown and blue bricks, on which a magnificent and majestic scene is carved impressively.

Its two front paws leaned forward slightly, like sharp blades coming to life on the stone wall.

The two hind legs behind him are thick and powerful, and the blue-brown hairs like the green bricks are carefully carved out, like a heavenly handicraft.

It's a pity that in this damp and dark environment, it was so badly corroded that I stared at the living statue in front of me for a long time, and I didn't see what kind of creature it was.

It's just vaguely recognizable from the relief head and sharp fangs, it should be a majestic giant dog.

"A dog..., can actually carve a dog to life, this tomb owner was also a genius of the ages during his lifetime."

I looked at the stone wall in front of me and gasped.

However, when I wanted to turn around in the next second, I saw a pair of dark and bright eyes behind me, and the fierce light of the Hetian people was emitting in the darkness and staring at me.

"What the hell?"

I let out a roar of fright, and almost didn't get on my feet and fell into the black water beneath my feet.

In the darkness in the distance, ** poured into the tomb along the stone crack, and fell into the black water, "ticking and ticking" resounded non-stop.

"You ......."

I looked at Xiao Yue, who was standing in front of me, and was speechless in shock, but it was only after a long time that I watched her smile like a child's mischievous smile that I realized it instantly.

"This little guy must have woken up early, and he was pretending to be asleep after carrying her on my back for so long."

"TM, why has it been bad luck since I walked with this little girl."

I felt a little unhappy in my heart, and I just wanted to roll up my sleeves and wade through the black water under my feet to scare her.

But I saw her eyes gently fall on the stone wall beside her, and her palm stroked the blue-brown stone relief, as if she was feeling something.

After a while, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Fool, who told you that this wall is carved with a dog, and you can't tell the difference between a wolf and a dog."

Her voice was soft, as crisp and melodious as a brass bell.

It's just that when I turned my head to look at me, my cheeks were a little faintly flushed, I don't know if it was because I felt embarrassed and embarrassed to carry her for so long, or because I was shy.

"TM, if this little girl knew that she was shy, she wouldn't have been silent all the way and took advantage of me so much."

I couldn't help but be angry when I thought about it, but when my eyes inadvertently looked at the carvings on the stone wall.

But he suddenly realized that it was indeed his own judgment error.

The blue-brown reliefs carved into the stone walls were covered in damp moss, and although the head was badly decayed, it was reminded by her.

I also seem to have a vague feeling that this guy looks like a giant wolf with a fierce light exposed, with sharp fluff and blades on its claws carved to life.

After a few glances, I couldn't help but panic a little in my heart, Xiao Yue was right, this is indeed a majestic "wolf totem".

The wolf is the totem of the Mongols, the only animal in the ethnic minority who is revered as a god and ancestor, and they know how to encircle and suppress their prey, and how to divide and cooperate in the division of labor.

But it is also bloody and ferocious, and the bloodthirsty gaze alone makes people shudder.

I approached her step by step in my iron boots, soaked in stinking black water, until my chest was almost next to her head.

For the first time, I found out that her body was so petite, and she was called by a very popular word at the moment... What should it be called?

"Little Lori...?"

"Little Lori... That's how it should be. ”

"Look at it..., give me back that old ginseng, I haven't eaten enough."

In this dark environment, her muttering with a playful face was particularly pleasing to me, and I couldn't help but chuckle out loud as a "social scumbag" who thought I was cold-blooded and irritable.

"It seems that this should be an ancient tomb, because it has been eroded by long-term rain, and the clues on the dynasty and pattern have long been lost."

I lowered my head and told myself my judgment, and then skillfully pulled out the box of cigarettes in my arms.

Just lit the fire and inhaled the first sip in my mouth, but it almost choked me half to death.

"TM's... Who dropped my bag of cigarettes. ”

I let out a rage and then took out the crumpled cigarette case in my arms, and just wanted to ask Xiao Yue beside me.

But I suddenly realized that this box of cigarettes labeled Japanese was taken from the table of the fat dean, and it belonged to the "Hanaximei" brand cigarettes that had not changed for decades.

The days he had already spent in a psychiatric hospital had a clean pastime.

"I... I'm neurotic..., don't... Mind. ”

Looking at the strange gaze that Xiao Yue suddenly cast next to me, I didn't know how to explain my recklessness and irritability just now.

The words about the medical report are still vivid, and the black and white words clearly echo in my mind...

"This should be an ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongols used the wolf as a totem, including the stone carvings on the blue bricks, which are full of the wild atmosphere of rough mines."

"Yes, girl, you can deduce so many clues just from the patterns on the stone carvings."

My eyes widened, and I never thought that there was such a master of history hidden by my side.

But suddenly I remembered that I was only 19 years old, and I had already reached the level of a medical professor, and it didn't seem wrong to be able to say these two insightful words.

Time was passing little by little in the dark corridor, and the sound of water flowing in the darkness was heard in the distance.

"Tick tock" rings in my ears.

After discussing with Xiao Yue beside me, we finally decided to go deeper into the tunnel to see if there was an exit here.

If you encounter danger or a dead end, you can only go back the same way and wait for the rescue of search and rescue personnel.

"Notes... Red Ximei is a brand of cigarettes that was produced in the 80s and 90s and was consumed by the masses. ”
