The stone carvings on the wall are very exquisite, the fierce beast is fangs and claws, and the momentum is compelling, and the woman on its back is handsome and beautiful. Under the shaking of the water waves, the woman in the flashlight seemed to come to life, and Bei Qin was slightly distracted by her attraction, so that he forgot that the pointer of his oxygen meter was almost to the end.

Suddenly, someone slapped him hard from behind. Bei Qin suddenly woke up, and when he turned his head to look, he found a man standing behind him. This person was wearing an oxygen mask and his hair was gray, and Bei Qin recognized this person as the fourth uncle at a glance.

Bei Qin recalled his state just now, and then looked at the oxygen meter, he couldn't help but be afraid.

The fourth uncle gestured to him, Bei Qin didn't understand at first, and then the fourth uncle pointed to the crack on it. Pei Qin looked up, and was immediately horrified to find something strange entrenched there, two dark green eyes staring at him. It seems to be the beast carved into the wall.

He couldn't help but feel a thrill, and the respirator in his mouth almost fell out. He remembered that when he came in, there were no other creatures here. Where did this thing come from!

But at this moment, Bei Qin didn't care about it, he reached out to touch the short knife on his waist, but his hand was tightly grasped by the fourth uncle.

Bei Qin didn't understand why the fourth uncle didn't let him do it, he turned his head to look over, and found that the fourth uncle took out an oiled paper bag from his pocket. Before he could see what was inside, the fourth uncle crushed it.

A large cloud of red and yellow powder wafted out of it, causing the entire body of water around them to change color in an instant.

The fourth uncle pulled Bei Qin back, and when they looked through the dyed waters towards the crack, the fierce beast that was still entrenched just now had disappeared at this time, and the original crack was exposed again.

Pei Qin didn't know why at first, but he reached out and grabbed a handful in the dyed water, twisted his fingers lightly, and suddenly understood, it seemed that he had fallen into the Tao. Okay is still old and spicy, fortunately the fourth uncle came down in time, otherwise his situation is really hard to say.

Seeing that Bei Qin was still in a daze, the fourth uncle pulled him and motioned him to go out quickly.

The two of them swam out one after the other according to the same path, and before they could surface the water, Bei Qin's oxygen had run out, and he completely relied on holding his breath and got out of the water.

As soon as he got on the boat, he immediately threw off his mask and gasped for breath, and he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating......

Bei Qin told Gu Xiaoqian about his underwater experience as he walked, but Gu Xiaoqian was confused, "What does the incident you talked about three years ago have to do with it now?" ”

Bei Qin glanced at her, "What are you anxious about, I haven't finished talking yet." After coming out of there, we studied the pottery we brought out and determined that the Sima Gong Temple was left by the ancient Xu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

"So, the chains and murals below are also left by Gu Xuguo?" Gu Xiaoqian said.

Bei Qin nodded, "I once saw such a record in an ancient book, saying that the monarch of the Xu Kingdom, King Yanwang, also went to sea, hoping to find the immortal mountain on the sea. However, he did not want to find the elixir of life like Qin Shi Huang, but wanted to find a way to increase the national power and dominate the world. ”

Gu Xiaoqian scoffed at this kind of thing, "Cut, that's not all the same!" It's all whimsical stupid people. ”

Bei Qin smiled and shook his head, and continued, "I don't know if it's whimsical, but it is indeed recorded in that ancient book of the pre-Qin Dynasty that King Yan really brought back some things from the sea, in addition to some treasures, there are also beautiful women, especially a strange beast. As for what it is, there is no specific mention in the ancient books, and it is said that very few people have seen this strange beast except for the Yan King. ”

Gu Xiaoqian looked at Bei Qin with some surprise, "So, the records in the ancient books are true?" And the Sima Gong Ancestral Hall you found was the place where Yanwang secretly raised strange beasts back then? ”

Bei Qin didn't speak, and then a guy came from the front and said, "Little Bei Ye, the source of the Manshui River should be the source of the Manshui River not far ahead." ”

Bei Qin looked up at the sky, "Okay, everyone speed up and pay attention to the surrounding terrain." ”

Gu Xiaoqian, who originally felt that the experience Bei Qin was talking about was a little boring, also lowered her head and thought about what he had just said at this time.

Bei Qin turned his head and continued: "Back then, King Yan led the power of the country to come here, if that strange beast did not die, he would definitely take it with him. The beast's roar just now was neither a tiger nor a bear, so I guess ......."

Before Bei Qin finished speaking, Gu Xiaoqian's eyes widened in surprise, "Do you think that strange beast has survived until now?" ”

Bei Qin shrugged, "Who said this kind of thing well, the so-called alien beast can survive from ancient times, there must be something extraordinary." ”

Although Gu Xiaoqian found this matter unbelievable, as a member of a family like the Gu family that focuses on antiques, she has heard too many similar things since she was a child.

Everyone continued to move forward, and another guy came to report, "Little Beiye, eldest lady, there is a tributary in front, it should be at the source of the Manshui River." ”

As soon as Pei Qin heard this, he walked forward briskly and walked up to a rock on a high place, and he looked down. I saw that the Manshui River branched out several forks in the river channel below the ridge, some large and some small, and it was here that these tributaries converged to form the Manshui River.

Bei Qin waved at everyone, and walked quickly down the mountain. The group soon reached the vicinity of the tributary area.

Bei Qin waved his hand and summoned his men over and said, "Everyone carefully inspect every tributary, whether it is a river or a stream, and let me know if you find anything." ”

The men dispersed in response, and did as Bei Qin instructed.

Gu Xiaoqian was a little bored and followed Bei Qin's side, "Is it useful for you to do this?" ”

"Of course it works!" Bei Qin said confidently, and then he suddenly looked at Gu Xiaoqian with a strange look, "Hey, as the eldest lady of the Gu family, you don't even know this skill, right?" ”

Gu Xiaoqian's face turned slightly red, and she defended, "Then, what's so strange about this, grandpa has been reluctant to let me touch these things since I was a child." ”

"Okay, okay," Bei Qin put his hands behind his head, "Then let me Teacher Bei tell you about it now." ”

"I've given you face, haven't I?" Gu Xiaoqian glanced at him, "Speak quickly!" ”

While walking along the river, Pei Qin said: "Actually, it is very simple, the most inseparable thing for human survival is the water source, and almost all human civilizations start from the place close to the water source. Therefore, if the ancient Xu people want to survive in this mountain, they will inevitably be close to the water source, and the proximity to the water source will leave traces of life, and the river will record these. ”

Gu Xiaoqian nodded, and then looked seriously at the bottom of the water. Bei Qin looked at Gu Xiaoqian's figure and smiled slightly, "You have a very high level of understanding." ”

"Nonsense!" Gu Xiaoqian said without replying, and then reached out and took out a pale red stone from the bottom of the water. She put the stone in the palm of her hand and wiped it, and said to Bei Qin: "Hey, do you think this stone is beautiful?" ”

Pei Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I didn't say what I praised you just now." ”

At this time, a guy hurriedly ran over from a distance, "Little Beiye! ”

Pei Qin immediately greeted him, "What's the matter?" ”

"Look at this!" The man handed Bei Qin something in his hand.

Pei Qin took it in his hand and found that it was a blue-gray stone, with a strange shape and some carved lines on one end.

Gu Xiaoqian walked over curiously, Bei Qin handed her the cyan stone in his hand, Gu Xiaoqian took it and looked at it, "There is a pattern engraved on it, like a turtle?" ”

Bei Qin looked at her a little playfully, "Hey, are you from the Gu family, why don't you understand anything?" ”

"And what do you say this is?" Gu Xiaoqian stuffed the stone back to Pei Qin.
