Zhao Lao's fall scared me and Shen Dali a lot.

Shen Dali was inconvenient to bend over because he was carrying Yang Qing on his back.

I stepped forward quickly and helped Zhao Lao up.

Zhao Lao was supported by me with one hand, pressed his waist with the other, and stood up.

He looked up at the lake in front of him, and suddenly he didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

I asked Zhao Lao suspiciously: "Zhao Lao, we have fought a lot, but it is the first time I have seen a lake in a tomb." Doesn't it say that hiding water in the tomb is not good for future generations? ”

Zhao Lao said in a deep voice: "In the basic theory of Feng Shui, it is indeed a great taboo to hide water in the tomb, which will not only harm the future generations, but also cause the future generations to be susceptible to rheumatism. However, water also has to be divided into what kind of water. If it is living water, which is called a spring, then most of it is a treasure cave. However, the lake looks like it should be backwater, and it really shouldn't be here. Moreover, there are so many bones by this lake, it is really weird. ”

Shen Dali listened a little impatiently on the side, and complained to Zhao Lao: "Zhao Lao, don't study any stagnant water, hurry up and find Liu Fatzi." There are too many messy things in this place, and I'm worried that if it's a little later, Fat Liu will become a dead fat man. ”

I nodded and said, "Shen Dali is right, Old Zhao, can you still stand it?" Let's move on. ”

Zhao Lao didn't talk nonsense, nodded and answered "Okay".

We continued to look for Liu Fatzi around the lake, and along the way we saw that the lake was full of dry bones, and the clothes and flesh were rotten, and we didn't know why the bones still existed.

Suddenly, Shen Dali's flashlight pointed to a place and said to me, "Fifth brother, take a look, what is the thing over there?" ”

I looked closely, and what I saw was a short ruler of unknown material and slightly curved, with smooth and rounded edges, held by a hand bone.

I frowned, took out my gloves from my backpack and put them on, then walked over quickly, bent down to break the hand bone, but suddenly the hand bone turned into slag and scattered all over the ground, and the short ruler fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Reaching out and picking up the ruler and pushing off the dust on it, I held the flashlight between my shoulders and face and held it up in front of my eyes.

The ruler is very twisted and carved with a lot of white stripes, which looks a bit like random scribbles, and also a bit like Chinese characters.

Shen Dali came over to help me light up and asked me, "Fifth brother, what is this?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but it's definitely been a year, whatever it is, take it with you." ”

Shen Dali sighed and said, "Oh, if only Yang Xiaomei was fine, she would definitely be able to recognize what this is." ”

I looked up at Yang Qing who was lying on Shen Dali's shoulder, my heart was uncomfortable, and I quickly turned my head, not daring to look again, I only hoped that Yang Qing was okay.

If I can, I am willing to exchange my life for the safety of Yang Qing and Liu Fatzi.

We walked around the lake for most of the time, and still didn't find Liu Fatzi, but we saw more and more dry bones, and even later saw decomposing corpses, wearing tweed coats that were more popular in the Northeast in the eighties and nineties.

Zhao Lao saw some clues, lowered his voice and said to me: "Little Fifth Brother, could it be that these people who died by the lake are tomb robbers, right?" ”

I was startled, frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, thinking that Zhao Lao's analysis was very reasonable.

But what I don't understand is why these tomb robbers didn't die anywhere else, but concentrated on the edge of this backwater lake?

Shen Dali's heart was relatively rough, and he didn't pay attention to the corpses, but kept calling Liu Fatzi at the top of his throat, and the more he shouted, the more angry he became, and he actually scolded.

"Dead fatty, if you have the ability, you won't come out for the rest of your life, we don't care about you, if you are not convinced, you will come out and fight with me...... Did you hear that, didn't you hear it......"

Although I still have fantasies in my heart, looking forward to seeing Liu Fatzi appear in front of us in the next moment, I know very well that it is impossible, because we have been looking for a long time in this huge space, and if there is someone, we will definitely find it.

"Forget it, let's hurry up and find a way to get out, and send Yang Qing to the hospital first. It's a big deal, let's come back and continue to look for Fat Liu. ”

Shen Dali bowed his head and was silent for a while, and finally reluctantly raised his head and said to me, "Fifth brother, I listen to you." ”

I looked around and saw the countless holes in the wall, and I didn't know where to go, so I asked Zhao Lao, but I still couldn't get an answer.

With so many passages, completely out of the realm of Feng Shui, Zhao Lao had no way to make a choice.

However, we must have a choice, or we will inevitably be trapped here.

I chose a random path, carved a dagger mark on the wall of the cave, and walked in first.

The passage is narrow, barely allowing two people to pass through at most.

I was scared along the way, fearing that I would encounter another trap or provoke an inexplicable creature, but this time we were lucky enough to see the exit quickly, and nothing bad happened along the way.

I took a deep breath and walked out of the hole as fast as I could, reaching an empty field again.

Raising the flashlight and shining it left and right for half a circle, I carefully observed the pattern of this space and couldn't help frowning.

This place, which looks very similar to the one we just left, also has many holes in the walls, and also has a stagated lake in the center.

Shen Dali also walked out at some point, standing not far away and suddenly shouted: "Fifth brother, come over and see, how can there be a pattern on this wall, especially like the mark you just carved." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and hurriedly ran to Shen Dali's side, and looked at it stupidly.

The mark is exactly the same as the mark I just carved, and it can be judged by the white stubble on it that it has just been engraved.

Could it be that we are back again?

Could it be that these two caves are the same way?

Annoyed, I carved another mark on the edge of the hole we had just come out of, and then chose another passage to enter, leaving a different mark than before.

The passage is twisted and narrow, and there is a spot in the middle that even requires us to turn sideways to squeeze through.

This time we walked for a long time, and without any encounter, we arrived at the exit.

I stood at the exit, looking out at a stagnant lake in the distance, and I had lost my temper.

I quickly carved marks into the walls, then looked from hole to hole, and sure enough, it didn't take long to find three more holes that I had left markings.

Could it be that these holes are connected by twos?

Could this be why the grave robbers are trapped near the lake?

I was unwilling, and decided to let Zhao Lao and Shen Dali stay and rest first, I was going to go to explore the holes alone, I didn't believe that I couldn't get out!

I ran back to find Shen Dali and Zhao Lao, and was about to tell me my decision, but I was surprised to find that neither of them looked at me, but kept looking ahead, as if they saw something.

"What are you looking at?"

I muttered as I turned my head to look over at the backwater lake, stunned.

At the edge of the lake, there was a man squatting at this time, who was also turning his head to look at us.

The man didn't seem to feel the glare of the flashlight, his eyes were still wide open under the beam of the flashlight, and the bright white light reflected from the eyeballs made him look like a ghost.
