Chapter 4: The Present Tomb in the Cave
Qi said calmly: "This is the legendary guardian of the water tomb. ”
"Guardian of the Water Grave?"
"Also known as the lake monster, it is rumored that the lake monster often appears near the water tomb, and many people think that the water monster is to protect the owner of the tomb, but it is actually to pick up the eyes of the grave person."
"Eyes." Er Qian subconsciously glanced at the corpses that fell into the top cave, and there were indeed signs that their eyes had been gouged out, "This monster is really hateful?" ”
"The sea monster was a symbol of the nobility in ancient times, and there should be a big tomb here."
Qi's eyes flickered a little when he said these words. Since the water monster was captured by the contract, it has begun to be a little docile from the initial resistance, as if it has compromised with the contract.
Qi said to Erqian: "The intelligence of the sea monster can be on par with ordinary people, he is just pretending to show weakness, and when we relax, he will attack again." ”
"This thing can think so much."
"It is rumored that the reason why sea monsters eat cannibal eyes is because human eyes bring people to see everything clearly, and the same is true for monsters to eat cannibal eyes."
Er Qian touched his eyes, took a step back and said, "How do you know that there is a sea monster here, if we catch him, we will be able to get out." ”
Qi pointed to the words he had seen on the wall and explained: "This is thanks to the handwriting on the stone wall, and those words are not only the age of who carved them, but the words of the Minqing Dynasty." ”
"So that's it?"
"Don't worry, if you find the sea monster, we'll have a way out."
Che hit the sea monster with the stick in his hand, and the sea monster couldn't stand the screaming. Er Qian wanted to touch the stick when he was immediately taken back by the deed, and now he saw the stick in his hand was still shocked, and silently said in his heart that this deed is really full of treasures, and this stick looks like it is made of gold.
Afraid of being beaten and afraid that the lake monster would roar, Qi stopped looking at Er Qian at this time and said, "It's up to you now." ”
"Look at me?"
"Use what you're most proficient in to find the exit to this cave?"
"I'm looking for it?" Erqian's eyes were stunned, looking at the contract so calm and relaxed, he thought it was a contract, and he knew it in his heart, but he didn't expect this contract to find it by himself, and how to find it himself.
Er Qian has never opened his eyes since he came to this cave, and he only dared to look at the scene in a little range of the water, because the cave was too terrifying, and sometimes a little mouse scream would come out of the cave.
Qi looked at Er Qian, gave the flashlight in his hand to Er Qian, and said, "Can you see the environment of the cave clearly?" ”
Erqian took the flashlight and turned it on slowly. As soon as the light was turned on, he saw a standing white-clothed hanging corpse not far away looking at him, and the white corpse did not have eyes yet. Er Qian was so frightened that he almost dropped the flashlight into the water, but fortunately, Er Qian's eyes were quick to catch it again, and then he said: "Believe in yourself, you must be able to, this is your ability to be beyond ordinary people?" ”
It's the first time that Er Qian has been praised by others, and he thinks about how anyone can praise him for doing nothing all day since he was born. Er Qian turned on the flashlight and opened his eyes to look around, but found that the cave they were in, the number of corpses far exceeded Er Qian's thoughts, those who were hung on the top of the cave, and some of their whole bodies were inserted into stone pillars and even a rope with two or three corpses in series. Where had Er Qian seen such a scene, and he closed his eyes again out of instinctive reaction.
The water monster seemed to see Er Qian's eyes closed the moment he instantly rose from the water, intending to pull Er Qian into the water, but fortunately, he didn't give the water monster the slightest chance on the side. After being beaten into the water, the monster began to hit the monster continuously with a stick.
Er Qian listened to all those terrifying sounds in his ears, and Er Qian could somehow find that he could feel the direction of the sounds, whether it was the shouts of the beaten water monsters, the sound of the water flowing in Shandong, or the sound of rats not far from the cave, they all eventually led to one place. Er Qian opened his eyes and looked at the side and said, "I seem to have discovered something." ”
"Did you find it?"
"Right where we stand."
Qi looked at Erqian, and Erqian explained: "All the sounds that are generated will eventually come to us."
Qi handed the rope in his hand to Er Qian and said, "I'll do the rest." ”
After Erqian took the rope, Qi began to grope on the small piece of flat ground where they stood, but the final discovery was small. When Er Qian sat down again, he was suddenly stabbed in the buttocks, and Er Qian immediately stood up and looked at the place where he had just sat down and said excitedly: "I understand." ”
Erqian pointed to the corpses hanging on the roof of the cave and said, "I may have made some mistakes, they didn't disappear from us, but entered the current and lowered the volume. ”
"You mean in the water."
"That's right. Look at where I'm standing. ”
Che immediately turned on his flashlight and looked at two raised rocks on the ground. Er Qian said: "How can there be a rope in the cave for no reason, it must be left by the people who repaired the tomb before, in this case, then this may just be a foothold, and under the ladder is the entrance." ”
After Er Qian finished saying this, he was excited, and suddenly the water monster in the water seemed to know something, and instantly plunged into the water. Er Qian is just an ordinary person, where is the opponent of the water monster, if he catches himself, Er Qian may fall into the water. Er Qian watched the water monster escape and said, "The water monster has escaped, what should we do now?" ”
Qi just stared at Er Qian and said, "So what, sure enough, bringing you here this time is the most correct choice I am making." ”
Erqian closed his breath, and pulled Erqian and said, "We have entered the water." ”
Sure enough, they found an entrance directly under the stone, and the two of them swam in the narrow stone passage after entering the entrance, and then went ashore, although the light was very dim, but the scenery was completely different.
Qi said excitedly: "There is indeed a tomb here. ”
The magnificent ancient buildings around show the wisdom of the Chinese people to the fullest. Er Qian walked up to the nearest stone statue and said, "It's amazing that there are still colors. ”
"It's really magical, such a building should only be a thousand years old, and this color still hasn't fallen off, it's really ingenious."
Qi looked at the undried water on the ground and said, "Follow the water trails, maybe we can take some detours." ”
"That water monster is really wise, it's all to blame for me accidentally letting it go."
"It was my mistake, I had never found this hole when I was fighting it in the water before. Prove that the intersection of the water hole was previously sealed. And until you found the hole, the monster was trying to show off its strength, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps it is far more intelligent than we think, and even already knows some human language. ”
Thundered. The two immediately became cautious. Qi glanced at Erqian and said, "Get out of the way." ”
