The procession descending to the bottom of the river gradually approached the stone house complex.

There was a fishy smell of seaweed in the air.

The bluestone road under your feet is also covered with thick moss, and it is slippery and difficult to walk under your feet.

These people were very disciplined, there were no noises, and no one communicated privately.

All of them followed closely behind the middle-aged man known as Team Shen, vigilantly around.

When I stepped into the area of the stone house complex, I saw that the surrounding area was full of collapsed ruins, and almost all the stone houses were destroyed, except for the lone two still standing in the middle.

"Search. ”

Everyone scattered and began to search carefully for the buildings left by the ancients.

The Shen team, with a few people around them, a total of about a dozen people, personally searched for the only intact stone houses in the center of the stone house group.

When approaching the two stone houses, it was found that the design of the stone houses was very strange, there were no windows, only a bronze door with two pages open. After such a long time of river water soaking and corrosion, the bronze door has long been covered with a layer of patina.

At this moment, the two stone houses, one bronze door is intact, but the bronze door of the other stone house, because of the long-term immersion, damaged and collapsed, looking at the house from the outside, the black paint is black, you can't see the five fingers, you can only vaguely see a lot of sediment deposited at the bottom of the river at the door.

"Li Heng, you take a few people over to clean up the stone house and see if you can find anything, and I will continue to search the stone house in front of you. ”

A team of more than a dozen people, divided into two.

With the rest of the manpower, the Shen team began to clean up the mud and sand on the intact bronze door to see if any clues were found. He was calm and steady, and did not rashly push open the door and enter without understanding.

However, these people are not archaeologists after all, and the clean-up action is inevitably a little rough, but the victory is speed, and the clean-up is completed quickly, and sure enough, clues were found on the bronze door.

The ancients have always respected the bronze culture, often using bronze as sacrificial vessels, such as when the prince and the prince were buried, there were many bronzes in the burial goods, and they liked to depict their life and past on the bronze and sing the praises of their lives. And on the bronze door in front of him, there is a suspected person's life past.

However, after being exposed to harsh and humid conditions for a long time, the surface of the bronze has been seriously corroded, and the carving has been extensively destroyed, which can only be seen vaguely, and it seems to be unfolding with a man at the beginning.

But there is a large blur in the middle.

So my eyes jumped straight to the end, and then I finally made a discovery.

Two pieces of the body that were cut in half appeared on the carving, and a few thin lines were carved in the wound, as if to show that the person who was cut off at this time was still alive at that time and had not yet lost his breath.

Two coffins appeared, and a group of people began to lift the two bodies that were still bleeding.

After that, the picture is broken.

When I saw the picture again, it was a carving of someone holding a hammer and nailing the lid of the coffin.

The back picture is completely destroyed, and it is completely impossible to see what is described behind it.

Nor did I see where the two coffins were eventually buried.

"If the man at the beginning is the person who was beheaded by the waist as mentioned by the bronze door, it seems that this man has just been beheaded by the waist, and before he has lost his breath, he was immediately sealed into two coffins, nailed the lid of the coffin, and suffocated to death in the coffin. ”

"Is this a half-cut and buried alive?" Team Shen's eyebrows were already tightly twisted together, and his face was extremely serious.

Whether it is beheaded or buried alive, it is the most cruel torture.

Who is this man, what kind of powerful person he has offended, and he has been subjected to two kinds of cruel torture at the same time, you can imagine how much resentment he was before he died.

No wonder it will be buried at the bottom of the river and sink into the ground forever.

The others were very disciplined, and none of them answered, Team Shen thought for a while, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Lao Yan, I found some interesting clues on these stone houses, did you find anything over there?"

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, a reply soon came: "Did you also find the carving on the bronze door over there?"

"Looks like you've made a discovery, too. Team Shen said as he began to order people to open the bronze door.

At this time, Captain Yan said mysteriously: "I'll give you another clue, take a closer look at the direction of these stone houses, have you found that these stone houses are not sitting in the north and facing south, but all sitting in the east and facing west." ”

Hearing this, Team Shen's face changed greatly.

Hurriedly raised his head to take a closer look, the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, whether it was the collapsed stone house or the only intact stone house in front of him, it was indeed sitting in the east and facing west.

There is a saying among the people, the gate faces south, the children and grandchildren are not cold, and the gate faces west, noisy and crying.

It means that the gate faces west, the lighting is very poor, and the day is not seen all day, and the house is cold and cold.

There are also folk rumors that newborn children can see things that ordinary people can't see, so they often cry when they are young, precisely because they see terrible things and are frightened. The gate faces west, noisy and crying, which is the meaning.

The reason why Team Shen's face changed drastically was because he thought that the stone house complex under the river was probably not reserved for the people who built the mausoleum in the first place!

Chances are there other uses!

As they dug deeper, the Shen team began to feel that the water was too deep for what was buried under the river, and it was gradually exceeding everyone's expectations.

Just when he was worried, Captain Yan's exclamation came from the walkie-talkie.

"Huh? You wouldn't have thought of it, old man, that I've made a big discovery here!"

"What did you find?" said Team Shen.

However, in the next walkie-talkie, there was a dead silence, as if the signal was interrupted.

Team Shen immediately had a bad premonition.

But he looked calm and did not shout into the walkie-talkie, but held his breath and waited for a reply. At the same time, he kept everyone around him quiet.

Ten seconds... Twenty seconds... For a minute, whew, whew, the silence in the walkie-talkie was like a pool of stagnant water, and only the sound of the Shen team's breathing remained.

Boom, boom... Suddenly, suddenly! There was a strange sound over the intercom, like the sound of bones twisting and turning.

The sound continues.

Suddenly, Team Shen's heart chuckled.

"Run!"

Captain Yan's weak voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, but it stopped abruptly as soon as he was halfway through, he was shouting to the Shen team to run, and he was telling the Shen team to run quickly!

Pain and sadness rose in the eyes of the Shen team, but he resolutely ordered everyone to withdraw from the bottom of the river and go ashore immediately.

However, at this juncture, someone found that Li Heng and the others, who went to another stone house to search for clues, had not moved since they entered the stone house.

Team Shen immediately brought someone over to look for it.

As a result, no trace of Li Heng and others was found, and when they asked other people nearby, they also said that after Li Heng and others entered the stone house, they never came out again.

For a while, there was no one alive or dead, and five or six big living people disappeared under the noses of all of them.

Just when everyone was looking for the missing people, someone exclaimed, "When did all this fog appear at the bottom of the river!"
