Chapter Eighty-Four: Approaching the Main Tomb
I hurriedly said no, there are zongzi under the water, what kind of stone carving is underneath, it is simply a terracotta figurine made of living people, each terracotta figurine is filled with a zongzi, almost I can't come back!
It is estimated that it was because I held my breath for too long, and after I got out of the water, my internal injuries were faintly attacking, and I lowered my cough twice, and a mouthful of saliva spurted out with blood, and I gasped for several breaths before I felt a little more comfortable.
With my physical state, I am not suitable for hard work at all, Chen Yun can also see it, so he said What did you see below, if there were really zongzi, why didn't they float up?
When she first heard the word "zongzi", Chen Yun was still a little scared, but she didn't see the zongzi floating on the water, so she was naturally no longer so scared, and was busy inquiring about the situation under the water.
I roughly told Chen Yun about my discovery, and Chen Yun's eyes lit up after hearing it, and said You really found someone from the RAND Corporation below? I nodded, and said yes, but that guy should have drowned, and he was dragged by so many zongzi at the same time, and he couldn't float at all. Let's go quickly, in case the underwater zongzi really catches up, we will be terrible!
Chen Yun said that it should not be, these corpses may be the recruit guards of the Bow Descendants before their deaths, so they will be buried together after death, and they will all be left behind in such a cruel way, and continue to serve as the guards of the Bow Descendants' tombs.
I smiled bitterly and said, "This theory is really interesting, people have been sealed in the terracotta figurines and suffocated to death, how can they escape?" Chen Yun said that of course he wanted to lock up their ghosts together, the ancients were sometimes very ignorant, maybe the bow descendants thought that with this method, they could leave the souls of their own personal guards and stand guard for themselves forever.
I said, what about the kind of sparkling hedron I saw in the water? It was like a pearl of the night, it could shine without lights, and if it weren't for the accumulation of a layer of mud under the dark river, we probably wouldn't need a cold light stick to swim through here.
Chen Yun said that I don't know, when we come back, we can go into the water to take a look, I am more concerned about the main tomb of the Gong descendants, since these personal guards have been found by us, it means that the main tomb is close at hand!
I said I saw the beard underwater, which means the remaining two people in the RAND Corporation must be in front of me. Chen Yun said it doesn't matter, didn't Aguman also go in, do you think that with him, who do we need to be afraid of?
I think about it, I have seen with my own eyes how big Brother Corpse's ability is, even if those two guys are holding guns, I am afraid they may not be able to threaten him.
I hurriedly accelerated the speed of the stroke with Chen Yun, and two minutes later, the dark river came to an end, and what appeared in front of us was an uneven stone wall, which was full of moss, Chen Yun hit it twice with the handle of the knife, and found that it was solid, so he had to turn back to me and say,
"It seems that we can only dive to have a chance to climb up, and I don't know how long the waterway is below."
I said that I should be fine, the beard just now should have been washed out along the waterway below, and the first time I saw him, he was not dead, proving that the underwater tunnel is not long.
Chen Yun nodded and said, "Having said that, this waterway is inclined upward, and it will definitely take more time for us to go upstream." ”
I took the only remaining breathing mask, connected the oxygen tank and handed it to Chen Yun, and buckled the breathing mask for her, such a small oxygen cylinder is estimated to only store fifteen minutes of breathing, but the time should be about the same.
Chen Yun asked me through the mask, saying that it is really okay if you don't use a breathing mask? I reassured her that the limit of my breath holding underwater was two minutes and fifteen seconds, and of course there was a good chance that she would faint if she did, but it wouldn't be too much of a problem to hold on for two minutes.
After receiving my affirmation, Chen Yun no longer hesitated and immediately dived.
I was afraid that something would happen, so I quickly held my breath and plunged into the water, and soon after, I saw countless Bai Sensen's arms shaking underwater, those zongzi were confined to a small area, and there was no way to stretch my hand farther, so Chen Yun and I were still safe.
Diving along the stone wall that was submerged in the water, about ten meters later, Chen Yun took the lead in finding the "water outlet", fortunately the hole was wide enough, about one meter in diameter, so Chen Yun quickly got into the hole, and I held my breath underwater and turned around, glanced at the bearded corpse, and then followed Chen Yun into it.
The waterway is long and narrow, fortunately, there are not too many turning points, Chen Yun and I have cold light sticks pinned to our waists, we can see each other clearly, the two sides dive forward and backward, the distance is less than half a meter, sometimes my hand will touch Chen Yun's calf, see that she swims too slowly, so I try to push her forward.
For about a minute and a half, I felt a little stuffy in my chest, the main reason was that I was thrown out of the internal injury when I fell into the sand pit, and I held my breath for a long time, which may have affected the wound, and after noticing that my movements had slowed down, Chen Yun, who was swimming in front, also hurriedly turned around, took off the breathing mask, and handed it to me.
Now is not the time to be reckless, I grabbed the breathing mask, inhaled a big itch hard, and after the breathing was smoother, I continued to hold my breath and quickly returned the breathing mask to Chen Yun.
The water outlet was longer than I expected, fortunately, Chen Yun and I took turns to breathe with the help of the oxygen tank, it was not too difficult, it was not too difficult to judge the time underwater, in short, when the oxygen tank was consumed by about one-third, I saw a bright spot of light emanating from the top of my head, much brighter than my cold light rod, and my eyes suddenly lit up, and Chen Yun struggled to swim up, so that he insisted for more than ten seconds, and finally completely drilled out of the underwater secret channel.
The head rushed out of the water, I took a deep breath, Chen Yun was not as reckless as me because she was carrying an oxygen tank, she was very slow to swim upstream, more than ten seconds later than me, and when she reached the water, I said to her, "You take off the breathing mask, save a little oxygen, and you should need it when you turn around and leave." ”
Chen Yun took off the mask, reloaded the remaining two-thirds of the oxygen tank into the rucksack, and paddled with me to the edge of the pond.
At the edge is a bluestone staircase, which extends to the bottom of the water, and the water in the dark river seeps out along the other tombs, and the location where the main tomb was actually built is on the high side, just avoiding the current, I have to admire that when the ancients built the tombs 1,300 years ago, they even took into account the possibility of water accumulation in the tombs.
Chen Yun looked at the dim dark river and said that this place should have been part of the main tomb, but there was too much snow on the top of the mountain, and the tomb road should have been washed away for most of it, but fortunately, the tomb was built very firmly, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.
I said that this is not a good thing, the water in the dark river washes the tomb and can destroy the mechanism set up in the ancient tomb, without these undercurrents, I am afraid we may not be able to get so close to the main tomb so easily.
