Chapter 104: The Tenth Man

"Anti-theft hole?" Daddy raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Beard smirked: "You haven't noticed? The traces of the thief hole are all reversed, I began to wonder, now that I think about it, the thief hole must have been hit from the bottom up, so we looked from the top down, only to feel that the chisel marks were reversed, in fact, it was someone else who came out of the inside to play the line, not the thief hole. ”

Dad nodded: "It makes sense, I've been thinking about why there is such a deep robbery hole, why there is no pigeon hole on the way, it seems that this is really a way for the craftsmen who built the mausoleum to escape." ”

The pigeon hole is actually a particularly small rest room vacated in the robbery hole when the tomb robbers are digging the robbery hole, and the pigeon hole will appear in the robbery hole of some large ancient tombs, because the excavation of large ancient tombs is carried out, the tomb robbers cannot frequently go back and forth to the ground because of eating, drinking, and sleeping, and at the same time, the pigeon hole can not help but store food and water, and can also store enough air. And the thief hole we entered was almost more than 80 meters underwater, and there was no pigeon hole in such a thief hole, which is a bit unreasonable.

Glasses frowned and said: "This speculation seems a bit unrealistic, since the ancient tomb of Lushan is recorded in the Huang Laobo book, it must be a tomb in the Warring States Period, and it is also in the Qin and Han dynasties at the latest, how can people at that time have the ability to dig such a long row in the water?" There were no oxygen cylinders at the time, how did they do it? ”

I said: "As long as there is time, there is nothing that cannot be done, Yugong has heard of it, right?" Do you see the bones under the water? It must have been the result of the death of the digger in the water, and there were many of them at the time, and each of them took turns to dig, and although it was a heavy price, it would definitely be excavated in the end. ”

"Yes, I agree." Lei Zi took my words and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts"

"You two don't understand, don't talk nonsense." The old man was displeased: "Do you think those craftsmen are all two hundred and five?" If you don't hit the road on dry land, you have to run into the water to fight, is it to run away or look for death? Then he looked at Luo Guo and said, "Old Luo, I see that the place full of bones looks like a tomb, what do you think?" ”

Hey, I don't want to hear it, it's you who put forward the argument of the way, why do I agree with your view to become two hundred and five?

Daddy snorted and ignored me.

Luo Guo just ordered the cigarette pouch, listened to his father's words, and suddenly hissed: "You mean, it's a burial room?" ”

Dad nodded: "It stands to reason that if the robbery cave is opened at the entrance of the tomb, it will inevitably be directly connected to the main tomb road, but the place we arrived at is too simple, and it doesn't look like the main tomb road. ”

Damn, it turns out that my dad explained Pai Dao like this, no wonder I said that I am two hundred and five. The beard smiled at me: "How does it feel to pat your dad's ass?" ”

We nodded, and we both felt that what Daddy said made sense, and I suddenly thought of something, so I said: "Have you noticed that the water in the cave is not liquid at all, it is a pool of stagnant water, which may indicate that the burial chamber was not watered after it was built, and then someone dug through it, and the seawater above poured into it." ”

Dad looked at me and nodded, I suddenly felt a little proud, so I continued: "That is to say, the burial room was accompanied by craftsmen who built ancient tombs at that time, and they couldn't crack the Qimen Dunjia at that time, so they could only choose to fight against the theft hole." ”

Everyone nodded, and as soon as the beard patted me on the shoulder, he said, "Okay, I care about my comrades, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my IQ has improved." ”

Wang Laoji said: "It's useless for you to say this, how can we find the door from those eight holes to be true." ”

Dad said, "In those eight holes, there is no way to have a living door." Wang Laoji was stunned: "How is it possible?" Although I don't have a deep study of Qimen Dunjia, I know that as long as it is Qimen Dunjia, there must be a life. ”

Luo Guo smiled and said, "You read it from the book, it's not useful." Since it was a burial chamber, the owner of the tomb absolutely did not want the burial person to go out alive, so he would never set up a life gate inside, and I concluded that all the eight holes were death doors. ”

Wang Laoji still shook his head: "Impossible, the eight palaces of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, surprise, and opening the territory in Qimen Dunjia must be gathered to be called Qimen Dunjia, only these eight doors can play their role in each other's life, if only the eight doors are dead doors, then how can they exert the power of Qimen Dunjia?" ”

Hu Zi hugged Wang Ji and said, "I said Wang Laoji, are you angry with Jia Duobao?" Why are you so brainless? You don't understand what Old Man Luo means, the existence of this Qimen Dunjia has only one purpose, that is, all the people who accompany the burial must die, since everyone is dead, then every door must be a door of death, I dare not say that I am proficient in Qimen Dunjia or something, this thing is not a dead routine, the Qimen Dunjia we knew in the past, if the eight doors are together, it can achieve many purposes, but the purpose of the Qimen Dunjia in the burial room is very simple, that is, to let you die, then there is no need to engage in useless pomp, eight dead doors, With a slight movement of the mind of a person who is proficient in the art of obscenity, they can all be made effective. ”

Wang Laoji scratched his head and stopped speaking at all. I don't know if he understands it or not, anyway, I do, if I continue to think according to this intention, it will be troublesome, so I asked my father: "If those eight doors are all dead doors, then we just can't get in?" ”

"Then I don't think we should count on that thief." The beard said, "Just open another thief hole and forget it." ”

Luo Guo shook his head: "It's unrealistic to see another thief hole now, let's dive to the place where the burial chamber is at least more than eighty meters, and it is still in the water, sulfuric acid is useless, so we can only use a chisel to chisel hard, I am afraid that it will not be finished in ten days and a half months, and the strip will have been provoked by then." ”

Ah Jiu said: "Inverted fighting is originally a lifeless business, no matter how powerful Qimen Dunjia is, isn't it also a human figure?" As long as people come up with it, I don't believe that there are no flaws, how can we know if we don't break through? ”

I remembered my experience at the temple at the bottom of the lake and said no, it would be too risky. Ah Jiu patted me and said, "I can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf, there is nothing in this business that is not risky." ”

Lei Zi nodded: "Yes, if we don't take risks, we can only ponder outside, this is close to the ancient tomb, how do you know that we can't get in if you don't try?" Besides, those eight holes are just arranged like Qimen Dunjia, maybe it's not Qimen Dunjia? ”

As soon as I heard this guy's tone, I was quite excited, and I said that this girl is really good and forgot the pain, and he has only been discharged from the hospital for a few days, so he shouted about adventure.

Everyone turned their eyes to Daddy, because after all, it was he who made the decision in the end. Daddy sat there smoking, as if he was considering whether to go down, and after a long time, his beard couldn't help it, and his throat moved, but he didn't speak.

Dad glanced at the knife and found that he was in a daze, and I don't know if he listened to what we said, and after a while, Dad hummed and said, "Sort out the equipment, add an extra oxygen cylinder for everyone, and bring all the ropes up and down." ”

Everyone exhaled and began to organize their equipment. Connecting all the ropes together, almost five hundred meters long, Dad said that if the eight holes were really set up in the Qimen Dunjia, it would be nothing more than a huge labyrinth, because of the sea, the more deadly mechanisms such as the crossbow and falling rocks had lost their power, and the only thing we were worried about was getting lost. In this way, we fixed one end of the rope at the entrance of the hole, and everyone chose a hole to pull the rope into, and once we got lost, we could follow the rope back the way it came.

The plan was decided, and we dived into the cave again, back to the trumpet-shaped space, although it was the second time we entered, but it was still a little creepy to see the white bones piled up at the bottom of the water. Dad looked back and forth outside the eight small holes, made a gesture, chose one of them, and then took out the iron drill to fix one end of the rope on the stone wall, or the knife hit the head, after the Nine Palace, they each grabbed the rope and rushed in, although there was no way, but I still felt that it was a little rash to go in like this, but the matter has come to this, others have no objections, and I can't say anything.

This water hole is very small, not much stronger than the thief hole above, and walking in the hole is not called swimming at all, but crawling, which is quite physically demanding, and the consumption of oxygen is also beyond our expectations.

Looking at the red light of the pressure gauge, I couldn't help but worry that if we went down another ten meters, we would have to give up this plan completely.

The downhill is very gentle, about ten meters, suddenly a vertical upward turn, the water hole changed direction, almost hit my head, I poked the front of the beard and feet, and the heart said that there is a sharp turn in front of you, and you don't notice.

Rising about five meters, the front is open, I can see a lot of holes on both sides, but just a flash, we entered a small hole, I was a little depressed, my heart said that this knife is also really, and I don't stop to discuss with everyone when I encounter a fork in the road.

Then we turned a corner, and encountered a lot of small holes, under the flashlight of my flashlight, suddenly found that there seemed to be something in one of the small holes, but unfortunately before I could take a closer look, I entered the water hole again, I thought about it carefully, but I couldn't remember what I saw, just a flash, that thing did not have time to form an image in my mind.

After a few more turns and several small water holes, I was completely dizzy, and I thought to myself that this is really an underwater labyrinth, but fortunately, we have prepared ropes in advance and have enough tools, otherwise such a place would be a dead end for those who are underground.

After climbing for more than ten minutes, the front was empty, I was busy taking a miner's lamp, the light was emitted in the water, and I found that we entered a square underwater stone room, the stone room was still very simple, and the bottom of the water was still full of white bones, the difference was that there was only a small water hole on the stone wall on one side, so that we didn't have to choose blindly.

Daddy stopped and motioned for us to rest for five minutes, and I let out a long breath that I could finally rest, and if I continued like this, I had the illusion that we were swimming in the sewers.

Five minutes later, I continued to walk, and at the moment of entering the water hole, I shook the entrance of the water hole with a miner's lamp, and only this time, I suddenly saw something again, this time I could see clearly, it was a big pale face, and a pair of empty eyes were staring at us! I suddenly had a spirit, and I was going to look again, but I was squeezed up by the thunder behind me and pushed me into the water hole, I was busy pulling the flippers of my beard, signaling him to stop, but I didn't expect this guy to kick me impatiently, pull the rope, and continue to move forward, the thunder behind me was also urging, and I had no choice but to continue to climb, and my heart said that they didn't see it? Did I just look dazzled? Delusional? Well, in such a small place, it has been moving mechanically, and it is dark underwater, and it will be an illusion if you can't keep it. I comforted myself and moved on, in this case, I definitely didn't want anything to happen.

After two more sharp turns, we reached a stone chamber again, this time the father did not give the order to rest, but the knife suddenly stopped, and a pair of cold eyes stared at the mouth of the water hole where we came.

There was another stirring spirit in my heart, and my heart said that I was not mistaken? Knife also seen?

Everyone looked at the knife in confusion, and then at the water hole, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. At this time, the knife raised the rope in his hand and motioned for us to pull it, and as soon as I pulled, the rope tightened, and pulled the thunder behind me to collide with me, and the thunder glared at me, just look at the last Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu pulled the rope, and the rope suddenly swung up, as if it was not affected by the force at the other end, and then, we saw that the rope slowly floated in.

Everyone's faces turned white all of a sudden, and my heart sank even more, and I secretly screamed that it was bad, the rope was broken! Strange, we didn't pull hard, why did the rope break? I suddenly remembered the big pale face I saw before, and I suddenly felt excited.

Luo Guo waved his hand frantically, signaling us to hurry back, I was right when I thought about it, the rope was broken for a short time, and the joint of that section must still be left in the water hole, thinking that I was about to leave, Dad stopped us at once, and then stretched out ten fingers, trying to make lip shapes.

Ten people! I saw the shape of my father's mouth, and what my heart said was ten people, aren't we just nine people? No, I'm, nine people, how can Dad say ten people?

I immediately went to see the others and counted from the knife, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety?! I saw that not far behind Ah Jiu, there was a vague black shadow, floating there strangely, the tenth! No way! I was so shocked that I immediately shone the miner's lamp.

The others also noticed that something was wrong, and almost at the same time as me, they all shone the miner's lamp behind Ah Jiu.
