At this moment, the old Liu Tou and Sun Yan on the shore were obviously more anxious than Zhang Guozhong, "Damn, before you come down, you will insert a self-yellow flag...... Hey, it's really old and confused...... "Liu Tou gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and after grabbing a handful of copper coins from his bag in a hurry, he was about to insert a yellow flag to see how many catties and taels of things inside, but after the flag was erected, he remembered that his sword was given to Ai Xun, and there was no way to start the battle without anyone...... I was too confident in my own guy, so I didn't insert the yellow flag, but now I want to insert it, but the guy let Alxun take it away, and I have the heart to go up and take Zhang Yicheng's Tianlu, but I'm afraid that Zhang Guozhong will need help when he comes back later......

And Sun Ting's face is basically bloodless, although this person usually looks calm and steady, but often at critical moments will show a little bit of the demeanor of a child, especially when he comes back from Egypt, don't look at it and don't put the submachine gun of the Burmese drug dealer in his eyes, but if he encounters these ghosts, ghosts and gods, it is difficult to say, in a word, a snake bite, ten years afraid of the well rope

"Senior Liu...... Mr. Zhang, they ...... It's going to be fine, is it......? After half a minute, Sun Ting stumbled and said this......

"It shouldn't be anything...... They are not ordinary guys in their hands...... "Old Liu Tou also tried his best to comfort himself, "In this way, Young Master Sun, I will go into the water in a while, you go up first!" ”

"This ...... How does this work? As soon as he heard that Lao Liu Tou was going into the water, Sun Ting was even more embarrassed, he was a young man, how could he let the old man take risks......?

"There's someone waiting outside! Let's not go up, what's the matter! Although he was also anxious, Lao Liu Tou was quite calm on the surface, "Maybe they found some treasure inside, and they are studying to dump the two of us, and the one surnamed Qin doesn't have any kind eyes......

"But...... Your body ......" Sun Ting squatted down and touched the water with his hand, it was cold and biting, "This water is very cold......"

"I'm an old winter swimmer! Thirty-nine days to dig open the ice hole and go down to soak! This is a bit of a fart! "On the surface, though, it's optimistic. But the cold sweat on his forehead exposed Lao Liu's true mood, he looked at his watch, it had been more than three minutes since Zhang Guozhong was last aroused, and there was still no movement under the water, "Young Master Sun, help me hold this ......" Old Liu Tou stuffed his eldest brother Dalian with his shirt to Sun Ting, "Don't tell the truth to the top!" Yi Cheng is still a child! ”

"I ...... Understand ......" Sun Ting took Lao Liu's things, Sun Ting stood in place stupidly, watching Lao Liu's head tremble in the groundwater, and within a few seconds, the flashlight on the water was gone.

At the same time, underwater.

Following Zhang Guozhong's route, Lao Liu Tou also liked to go straight forward from the lowest steps, and felt that he had not swam a few meters, and a stone cave similar to a door appeared in front of him. It is about two meters tall and more than one meter wide. If it was a door, it would be a bit out of proportion to this huge secret room.

For the sake of insurance, Lao Liu Tou also surfaced in front of the stone gate to change his breath. Then a fierce man sneaked into the stone gate. Underwater, in the stone gate is a dark passage, because I don't know how long the passage is, so Lao Liu Tou can only calculate the distance of swimming in, ready to swim back at any time.

Just when Lao Liu Tou felt that he couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to return to the secret room, he suddenly felt that the rock walls on both sides of the passage were gone. In its place is darkness that has no end. "Got to the back room?" Lao Liu kicked the bottom of the pool and surfaced as fast as he could.

"Give me death!" As soon as his head came out of the water, Lao Liu Tou heard Zhang Guozhong's roar, followed by a plop, just like tons of boulders being thrown into the water, followed by a series of gunshots.

"Don't fight! I'm underwater! Lao Liu Tou lifted the flashlight out of the water and shook it vigorously, because the water seemed to contain some kind of mineral that stimulated xìng. So when I first came out of the water, my eyes hurt, and with the splash just now, I couldn't see where the gun was fired.

"Don't shoot!" As soon as he heard that Lao Liu Tou was coming, Zhang Guozhong immediately shouted. Rubbing his eyes, Lao Liu Tou found that Zhang Guozhong was standing about seven or eight meters away from him, and there were two flashlights next to him, presumably Qin Ge and Ai Xun were fine. Shining a flashlight on the surroundings, Lao Liu Tou was completely stupid, such a huge underground space, not to mention it before, even if you imagine it, it's difficult! The air visibility in the cave is not bad, and this military flashlight, which claims to have an effective lighting distance of 30 meters, cannot illuminate the roof of the cave.

After swimming a few steps forward, Lao Liu Tou was pulled onto the "shore" by Zhang Guozhong. This secret room "shore", and the secret room just now is not the same, there is no water on the shore, it is all dry land, the air in the secret room is filled with a smell of earth, it seems to be a little foggy, but it is much better than the secret room just now, the visibility is at least thirty or forty meters, with a flashlight horizontally, I found that this seems to be a large surprisingly underground cave, the shape is about a serpentine curve, about thirty meters wide, within the visual range, the cave seems to have turned a corner, where to go is unknown, not far from the bend, There seems to be a huge "shadow back wall", which seems to be a stone monument, and I don't know what it is used for; Compared with the treasure cave of Bashan, the artificial traces of this cave are much more serious, and the amount of work is even no different from digging the mountain directly to repair one, and the ground under the feet is paved with a one-meter square bluestone slab, and the thickness is estimated to be less than ten centimeters from the foot analysis

Each stone slab is engraved with a dragon pattern (after the careful identification of Lao Liu Tou and Qin Ge, the pattern is not a dragon, but a dragon-shaped beast, called "Kui", a kind of Shang and Zhou Dynasty commonly used ornamentation), not far from the bend, there are several huge stone pillars, the thickness of which can be seen by at least ten people, all the way up to the place where the flashlight does not shine, just as far as these pillars are concerned, it must have been the limit of ancient construction capacity; Looking back, Lao Liu Tou found that the place where he went ashore seemed to be the "snake head" of this serpentine cave, the rock walls on both sides spread outward at a right-angle angle, obviously artificially chiseled, not only to see the edges and corners, but also carved patterns, in that era when there was no explosives, it is difficult to imagine how this amount of work is completed, and the water surface of his own landing, probably in a circular shape, as if deliberately set aside to release water, I don't know what the intention is.

"This mountain...... Is it an empty ......? Old Liu was only shivering, "What was that just now?" ”

"I don't know...... The movement was too fast, and it ran away before it could see clearly...... "Zhang Guozhong said indignantly, "But I gave it a knife just now, and I guess there is nothing left to water...... What about Mr. Sun? ”

"I'll let him go up first......" Old Liu said. Let's take a look around, and if there is nothing to do, let's get out quickly...... I don't think this place is ordinary...... "Although there is no bottom in my heart, but Lao Liu Tou is still worried about finding the baby, as the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe, from the depth of the water to calculate the scale of the altar, this hole should be the latest in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. Coupled with the "Kui" pattern engraved on the ground, everyone has locked the construction age of the cave to before and after the Warring States period.

As soon as he heard that Sun Ting had gone up, Zhang Guozhong's heart was also relieved, and he was worried that that thing would harm Sun Ting from the water, but if he went up, it would be fine, it should be noon outside at this moment, and the sun was shining. In addition, there is also a big hand Liu who can beat ghosts, and a resentment that has been hit hard must not have caused any trouble......

That's when it happened. A black whirring thing near the edge of the rock wall attracted Qin Ge's attention, and he took a closer look with a flashlight, and it seemed to be sword clothes. "Could it be the clothes of the ancients?" Qin Ge squatted down. I found that the clothes were black, and when I turned the collar of the neck, there was even a label, "Zhang Zhangjiao!" Qin Ge shouted.

"What is this?" Zhang Guozhong took the clothes, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, and a fishy smell came to his nose, as if he had been stained with blood. I was dumbfounded when I flipped through the label, it was all foreign words......

“Timbenland…… madeinUK...... "With the light of the flashlight, Qin Ge thought thoughtfully," this ...... It should be those people's clothes......" After visually measuring the distance between the clothes and the water, Qin Ge frowned, "Sun Ting is right in his guess, these people are indeed Europeans!" I don't know why their clothes are here! ”

"Of course you have to take off your clothes when you go back from swimming...... "Old Liu shivered with a cold face. Just took the clothes and put them on yourself, "Don't make a fuss, there seems to be a tablet over there, go over and see what is written......"

"That thing...... It's not like Europeans have become ......," Zhang Guozhong said as he walked, "I can't see anywhere else, but my hair is black...... Europeans are supposed to be yellow-haired......"

"Maybe it's a smuggled ......," Lao Liu said, "You see that Qin Ye is an American, isn't he also black-haired?" "Old Liu Tou never forgot to brush Qin Ge.

"I'm a Chinese-American......" Hearing Lao Liu Tou say this, Qin Ge's face turned blue and purple for a while......

After walking for about thirty or forty meters, everyone came to the bottom of the stone tablet, and took a flashlight to shine it, only to see two strange words engraved on the tablet.

"These two words are 磔池!" Not to mention Zhang Guozhong, even Lao Liu Tou, the calligraphy association, has been watching for a long time, "Qin Shu Eight Bodies in the Ground" * (one above and a few below, I can't type, sweat) body' word! This cave was built by the Qin Dynasty...... Or the State of Qin! Looking at these two words, Lao Liu's head was crooked left and right, and he didn't know why, "The font of the Qin State has its own use, and the * body is engraved on the weapon, how can it be engraved on the tablet?" ”

"What do you mean?" Ai Xun, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly popped out such a sentence, in fact, Qin Ge also wanted to ask, but he was not embarrassed all the time.

"In ancient times, it meant killing livestock and sacrificing animals......," Old Liu Tou frowned, "But killing livestock, there's no need to make such a big noise, right?" The character 磔 also has the meaning of five horses divided into corpses, which is the kind of punishment that Shang Ying received...... This place is called the Pond...... Could it be the ancient Sino-US Cooperation Institute? ”

"Qin State won't be able to...... Fighting every day and having spare money to make up for this kind of fence? Zhang Guozhong began to use a flashlight to shine on the big monument and circle, "There are a bunch of small characters here, senior brother, you can recognize it!" I saw that behind the stele, a large piece of small characters was engraved, which seemed to be the so-called "* body"

"I'll take a look at ......" Behind the stone monument, Lao Liu Tou frowned and looked at it for a long time, the more he looked at it, the more round his eyes became, and when he was almost finished, he couldn't speak......
