The time to go down the cave was arranged at noon the next day, but to be honest, according to Zhang Guozhong's estimate, the depth of the cave was not much different from that of the day and at night. According to Sun Ting's analysis, this robbery cave is not only the product of some high-tech excavation tools, but also has some traces of professional archaeology, at least the inclined robbery hole in the small cave is very similar to the "Thomson simple blasting method" to get out, it stands to reason that this is a European and American (especially European) professional archaeologists habitual method, if in Egypt, this method of excavation of ancient tombs can prevent the excessive damage to the monuments, but if it is placed in the deep mountains, its effect is nothing more than to save time and engineering quantity.

At 11:30 p.m. the next day, outside the small cave.

After fixing the rope outside the cave, Zhang Guozhong was the first to go down the cave with the giant sword, followed by Lao Liu Tou, Ai Erxun, Sun Ting and Qin Ge, and the big hand Liu and Zhang Yicheng were arranged to wait outside the cave, in order to avoid accidents, the "Tianlu" dagger was left to Zhang Yicheng's second daughter.

Similar to Sun Ting's conjecture, this vertical thief hole has obvious traces of mechanical excavation, the diameter of the hole is about 80 centimeters, the four walls are very smooth, you must use both hands and feet to support, if it is not for the professional mountaineering rope brought by Qin Ge with an adjustable mechanical buckle, it will really take the old nose to go down this hole.

I don't know how deep it is, until the lighting reserved at the entrance of the cave becomes the size of a soybean grain, Zhang Guozhong went down to a larger space, turned on the flashlight and took a look, it seems to be a secret room, the height is about ten meters, and the treasure cave in Bashan is about the same, it seems to be built in conjunction with the natural cave, the bottom of the secret room is full of water, and the gloomy one does not know how deep. The damp air in the cave is blowing. Just follow up with the bathhouse. "Damn... There is still water in such a deep hole..."Zhang Guozhong secretly had an ominous premonition in his heart, according to the theory of Maoshan Technique, the deeper the water, the greater the Yin Qi, in case this water is over his waist. If the guy in his hand has to play in the water, won't the power be greatly reduced? If you have the heart to go back, the old Liu Tou on the top of his head has already come down, "Senior brother, it's all water underneath, and I don't know the depth." Why don't we go back...? Rushing to the top of his head, Zhang Guozhong yelled.

"Look how deep it is!" Hearing Zhang Guozhong shouting, Lao Liu's head tightened the buckle, and his body hung in the middle of the thief hole, "If it's too deep, go back!" ”

Listen to what Lao Liu Tou said. Zhang Guozhong pressed the clip, and his body slowly descended into the water, but he didn't expect that the water surface had just reached his feet and necks, and his feet felt the ground. "What a fucking waste of feelings..."Zhang Guozhong unbuckled, carefully illuminated the surroundings of the secret room with a flashlight, and found that the thief hole when he came down was exactly in the middle of the entire secret room, and the entire secret room area was about the size of two basketball courts, the same as the Bashan Treasure Cave. There seems to be a mist in the air, but the concentration is much smaller than that of Bashan, and the flashlight can shine on the four walls.

"Come down! The water just has no feet! Zhang Guozhong shouted at the top of the city. Not for a while. Old Liu Tou, Ai Erxun, Sun Ting, and Qin Ge all went down to the secret room.

"Wouldn't it be a treasure cave?" Old Liu Tou picked up the flashlight and began to shine in the secret room. "Not like! Judging from the size of the cave, it doesn't seem like the people before us came for the treasure. This little hole can't be taken away except for people who can go up! Sun Ting said, "But it's definitely not an ancient tomb!" First, the ancient tombs are generally not so big, and secondly, there are no murals and no carvings here, if it really takes such a huge amount of work to repair the tomb. It can't be so rough! ”

"It's not the tomb, I know!" Old Liu Tou said, "Which country's emperor buried himself here." But I really think that my life in the sun is comfortable, and I want to go down to the grassroots to experience life after death..."

"Hey... I found something strange..."Old Liu Tou and Sun Ting were talking. Zhang Guozhong kept shining a flashlight around, "There is not even a door, why are they coming down?" I wonder if they're digging it wrong...", when he heard a sound of water next to him, "Who!?" Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou invariably pulled out the guy, Qin Ge and Sun Ting picked up their guns, and almost pulled the trigger, and several flashlights instantly concentrated on the place where the sound came from, "Me!" Don't shoot! Under the flashlight, Alxun fluttered a few times and "climbed" up from the water, "I'm scared to death, the water here is very deep...!" ”

"How deep?" Zhang Guozhong stepped forward and pulled up Alxun.

"I don't know, it's gone anyway," Al Xun said as he undressed, "I said these ancient people are really bad..."

"I see... It's not just a loss..."Qin Ge put away the gun, walked to El Xun, and stretched the flashlight into the water, the big guy realized that the water under his feet seemed to be a little clearer than he imagined, and the flashlight could shine at least half a meter away under the water, "I think the place where we stay should be a high platform, if my guess is correct, this may be an ancient altar, there should be a staircase leading down!" And the exit here should be underwater! After that, Qin Ge began to look for the so-called "staircase" along the place where Elxun fell, and when Qin Ge said this, everyone also began to follow Qin Ge's example and bent over to find it.

It turned out that the place where everyone was standing was indeed a square platform, and the deep water area on both sides was about four or five meters wide, and the front and back were a little more, just in the opposite direction of the Alxun falling into the water, Zhang Guozhong really found the so-called "staircase", about more than 20 centimeters wide, but it was very steep, and he tried it with his arm into the water, and the drop of each step was at least 30 centimeters.

"Found it!" With Zhang Guozhong shouting, everyone gathered at once. "I'll go down and try! Anyway, the clothes are already wet! "Airxun is going down the stairs without saying a word." Wait a minute! Zhang Guozhong grabbed Ai Xun, "The water is too deep, I'm afraid it's dangerous, and besides, this hole has been drilled out of that thing, let's go back first..."

"It shouldn't be fine...," Qin Ge said, "Zhang Zhangjiao, do you think those things might be able to swim?" ”

"This...?" Qin Ge's question really stopped Zhang Guozhong, except for the three evil spirits in Wuling Mountain, who seemed to be able to flutter a few times, there was really no record of those grievances in Maoshan Technique who could swim, besides, if the corpse was really soaked in water, I am afraid that it would be soaked before the corpse, how could it be possible to go out and harm others?

"I think the people before us should have retreated, and if they didn't go out, then at least the rope they came down should have been kept... I think it's probably somewhere else, that thing just got into that hole by chance..."

"That makes sense..."Old Liu Tou supported Qin Ge for the first time, "The yin qi here is heavy, and if you open your mouth and leak the yin qi, you may be able to attract those things over... Come, Brother Ai, having said that, it's not wrong to be careful, take this..."Before Zhang Guozhong could speak, Lao Liu Tou stuffed the seven-star sword to Erxun, while Qin Ge took out a mountaineering rope from his backpack and tied it to Elson. In this way, Zhang Guozhong has no words, originally to investigate the cause of death of the Liao couple, which is good, the only "word corpse" related to the cause of death made the old brother and son say that they came in by accident elsewhere...

Picking up the seven-star sword and turning on the flashlight, Alxun went into the water step by step, and within a few steps, the water did not reach his neck. "Pull the rope, I'm going down!" After taking a deep breath, Elson plunged underwater, only to see the glow of a flashlight dangling on the surface of the water getting darker and darker. After only ten seconds, the mountaineering rope in Qin Ge's hand had already been taken down by Elson for more than ten meters, "It seems to be quite deep..."Qin Ge frowned while loosening the rope, "What the hell is this for?" How could an altar be placed so deep underground in ancient times? What's over there at the altar? How did the ancients get in? ”

"When Brother Ai comes up, let's ask him how deep the water is, and it is not difficult to speculate on the dynasty of this altar..."Lao Liu Tou lit a cigarette and began to speak in the vernacular like a dog, "The law of the altar rose from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Later Han Dynasty declined, according to legend, before King Wu was punished, Zhou Gong had set up a 'Thousand Silk * Altar' in Taibai Mountain to peek at the will of heaven, 30 battles high, 12 battles on the side, and when it came to the Later Han Dynasty, Zhuge Kongming borrowed the east wind to set up a seven-star altar in Nanping Mountain, only nine feet high, nine feet for the Han ruler, and now it is about two meters, and then simply don't get that thing... Just like this big brother, when the Eighth Route Army fought the Japanese devils, the walkie-talkie had to be carried on its back, and now it can be carried in its pocket..."

"I see, Mr. Liu is really smart..."Patronizing and talking to Lao Liu, Qin Ge didn't pay attention to the rope in his hand, only to see the rope going faster and faster, until Zhang Guozhong realized that something was wrong, "Why hasn't Mr. Ai come up for so long?" "Ordinary people only hold their breath for two minutes at most, and it's almost the same at this moment, but not only is there no movement at all underwater, but the rope under Qin Ge's hand is going faster and faster." Oh! Qin Ge paid attention to the rope in his hand, this rope was fifty meters, and it had already been put down more than half of it at this moment.

Subconsciously screaming, Qin Ge wanted to pull the rope back, this force didn't matter, only to see the originally loose rope instantly stretched, only to hear a plop, a huge force also pulled Qin Ge into the water. "Mr. Qin!" By the time Zhang Guozhong reacted, Qin Ge had already sunk underwater. "You're waiting for me here! If I don't come back in five minutes, I'll go up on my own! After that, Zhang Guozhong pounced and jumped into the water.

When I got into the water, I realized that the visibility under the water was too far worse than I imagined, although I was from Qin Ge to the front and back, but at this moment, I couldn't see Qin Ge's shadow at all, helplessly, after poking his head out of the water to change his breath, Zhang Guozhong also dived along the "steps" to the front of the altar.

"Fuck, what is this?" After diving down for four or five meters, Zhang Guozhong probed the last staircase, and there seemed to be some cages on both sides of the stairs, the railing was about the thickness of a finger, the length, width and height were similar to the coffin, and the black scum inside couldn't see what it was.
