She pointed to another man with strong muscles and said, "This is the most famous adventurer in the city, Yingshan, who once went down to the drowning pool five years ago, and the only map he drew was also made. Many.. He is in charge of the guide. ”

"And the other two 'girl' children. A girl named He Xue, the sister of the first victim He Lu, has long-term experience in rock climbing. I want to find out the truth about my sister's death! She pointed to the 'girl' child with a ponytail who was standing in front of the well with a rope, and then pointed to another 'girl' child next to her who was vigorous and unusually beautiful: "And that 'girl' child is also an adventurer, and it is said that she is very well-known in the world, called Bu Xiaoxin." She has a strong ability to survive the environment and can add safety 'sex' to our operations. ”

Bu Xiaoxin? Why does this 'girl' child make me feel familiar? I always feel bad to see her. Weird!

After saying that, she clapped her hands and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, come and meet the funders of our expedition. The man's name is Xiao Qiqi, and the 'female' is called Shi Yueying. They will go down with us. ”

Depressed, how did little Kiki really become my name.

No one put down the work in hand, Qin Han was busy taking pictures everywhere, only Bu Xiaoxin, who I particularly cared about, looked up at the two of us, and then buried himself in work again. He Xue skillfully tied the slide lock, and Yingshan constantly checked the safety of the equipment. It seems that only me and Shi Yueying are superfluous.

Yijiang shrugged his shoulders: "Don't care, it's like this when I met them, they're all workaholics." ”

"Looking at their appearance, I am much more confident in my future trips." I watched silently and didn't go up to help. Since you can steal your leisure, you can be a little better for a while, and you will be busy after you go down. What's more, 'handing' things to experts seems to be my principle of life.

It didn't take long for the equipment to be set up. The mother shaft of the pool is two meters wide, and around these two meters, three stout metal supports are erected, supporting two sliplock ropes.

When Yingshan finished inspecting the equipment, it was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon. All of them ate simple food and sat on the grass and listened to his explanation: "The mother well of the drowning pond is forty meters deep, and the mouth of the well is two meters wide, but the further down you go, the wider it becomes. At the bottom, there is an open area of more than 160 square meters. The water there is just over 1 meter deep. I came here more than five years ago, and there was indeed a tunnel connecting the mother well and the sub-well, and although the straight-line distance of that tunnel was only 1.5 kilometers, it was twisting and turning, and I walked for nearly 3 hours before I got out. Fortunately, there is no fork in the road. ”

He paused slightly: "The situation of the sub-well is similar to that of the mother well, and I have already set up the equipment on the sub-well." Our main goal this time was to go down from the mother well to the bottom and then out of the sub-well. You believe that the earthquake has affected the structure of the tank, and this is one of the areas of our investigation. We still have half an hour to rest. ”

He looked at his watch: "We will officially set off at 2:40 p.m., and if nothing else, we will see the light of day again at about 6 p.m.!" Now dissolved. ”

After the disbandment, everyone did not sit idle and began to check the equipment they had brought with them. I checked my own, and by the way, I helped Shi Yueying check it carefully. It's not too much of a problem, well-equipped and well-prepared, but why is there always an ominous premonition in the bottom of my heart, as if we are seven silver moths that are fighting fire, and we can't wait to pounce on the bright trap made of flames.

"Are you afraid?" I asked Shi Yueying, who was in a daze for some reason.

She turned her head to look at me, kept looking, smiled and shook her head: "I'm not afraid." ”

This 'girl' child, since the disappearance of her sister and niece, seems to have grown up overnight, and has suddenly become sensible. It seems that adversity can really make people grow as quickly as growth. Mobile txt

"Little Kiki, do you think we're going to die?" She asked suddenly.

"Everybody's going to die."

"No, I mean, we're not all going to die down there." She stared at the bluestone-filled wellhead.

"Why do you think that?" I frowned.

"It's nothing, it's just that all of a sudden it feels like this." She patted me the shoulder: "Do you think my sister will be fine?" ”

"Of course!" I nodded affirmatively.

"Thank you. Actually, I know that maybe they've been killed. But this scourge, the culprit, I will definitely dig it up. She gritted her teeth.

I nodded and shouted vigorously, "It's time, let's go." ”

At 2:40 p.m., at the bottom of Yingshan, He Xue was the first to slide into the dark 'hole' mouth of the mother well of the drowning pool. I took the opportunity to look inside, and the 'hole' was very deep, and I couldn't see it to the end, and the sound from outside entered the well, as if it had entered a foreign land, and it continued to bounce and resound, and finally formed a terrifying tone similar to a moan.

With the low and dumb moaning of the drowning pool, He Xue went down to the bottom of the well smoothly. She used the walkie-talkie to report her safety and let the next group go down.

The second group was Yijiang and her partner Qin Han, who also arrived smoothly.

The third batch is me and Shi Yueying. She grabbed my hand tightly and inhaled hard at the mouth of the well, her face was white and frightening, probably terrified in her heart. Yingshan fastened the slip lock for us, and then told us a few more precautions, I nodded, and motioned for Shi Yueying and I to slide down at the same speed.

I pulled the slide lock very tightly, so it wasn't going down very fast, but at that speed I was enough to see everything up close in the drowning pool. Sure enough, as the depth increased, the width of the well increased, and the wall of the well that was easy to 'touch' with the hand not long ago now took a lot of effort to barely stick the palm of the hand.

Looking up, the small 'hole' was out of reach, and I could only barely see a ray of light 'shooting' in. It was already pitch black around us, so I turned on the miner's light overhead.

The surroundings suddenly brightened, and the moss on the walls of the 'cave' seemed to be very thick, showing a ** gray-brown 'color', which should have been dead for a few months? Strange, what is the reason for the change of this moss ecological chain that has been maintained for thousands of years or even longer, and all of them are dead?

I tore off a handful, and the dead moss 'exposed' out of the 'hole' wall as I tore it off. The walls of those 'holes' were not smooth, and there seemed to be something on them. I motioned for Yue Ying to stop sliding and leaned her head over to take a closer look. The light 'shone' on those uneven places, and I was stunned for a moment.

Is it text? No, more precisely, some symbols, densely carved on the wall of the well. I ripped off a few more handfuls of moss, and the symbols were actually 'exposed' again.

"Isn't this well a natural formation, but an artificial one? Who 'spended' such a big project to do such a thing! My surprise was indescribable, and I stared unblinkingly at the ghost-like symbols on the wall.

"I don't know, but these things are very uncomfortable to look at. I'm afraid! Shi Yueying said tremblingly.

"Let's go down, hurry up!" I nodded at her, released the slide lock, and slid down quickly.

After a few minutes, I reached the bottom, and as soon as I pulled off the rope on my body, I ran towards the wall of the well in the distance. Yijiang came over and was about to talk to me, and when he saw me and Shi Yueying running, he couldn't help but follow. The sound of treading water attracted everyone's attention, and Qin Han and He Xue also followed.

"What are you going to do?" She watched the two of us stop in front of the wall of the well and asked.

"I want to do this!" I forcefully tore off the moss from the wall of the well with a pickaxe a few times, and sure enough, the densely carved symbols immediately appeared.

"What, what are these?" Yijiang's shocked whole person was stunned, she 'touched' those symbols with her hands, and she couldn't open her mouth for a long time. Qin Han's professional habits immediately took out his camera to take pictures, and the flash woke her up, and finally asked, "How did you find out?" ”

"It's just a coincidence." I couldn't take my eyes off the unpredictable, completely irregular symbols: "There are these symbols all over the wall of the well. What does this mean? Drowning pools may not be naturally formed. Even if the rough embryo is natural, I don't know how many years ago it must have undergone a large-scale artificial construction. Even in modern times, it is an extremely large and complex project to polish a cone-shaped 'hole' and 'hole' at the bottom of more than 40 meters deep and more than 100 square meters at the bottom. However, in ancient times, when the equipment was rudimentary, it was unimaginable to build such a thing and engrave unintelligible symbols or words on the entire wall of the well. ”

"I have a guess." I turned around and looked at the people around me, Bu Xiaoxin and Yingshan had come down at some point, listening to my inference, and looked at the ghost painting on the wall in a daze: "With such a large amount of manpower and material resources 'spent', I'm afraid it can only be for one thing." It's the tomb 'cave'. But ordinary people, even if they are rich, it is impossible to use so many human resources. I'm afraid this is the mausoleum of the emperor or the most noble of his time! ”

Suddenly, everyone was 'excited'.

Yijiang thought about it sideways: "Generally, there will be a lot of legends in the mausoleums of the emperor's relatives and relatives. But I haven't heard of anything like that around here. ”

I pointed to the symbol on the wall: "Look at these things, do you recognize them?" It doesn't belong to any writing system that I know. Suffice it to say, I haven't seen it at all. ”

Bu Xiaoxin also checked carefully: "Yes, that, that little Qiqi." "For some reason, when this 'girl' child who I feel so familiar with me mentions my name, I always have the illusion that she wants to laugh so much and force it to hold back. She continued: "That little Qiqi analysis is very reasonable, I'm afraid the text here is earlier than the oracle bone inscription. Maybe there's an emperor's tomb somewhere in the well waiting to be discovered. Yingshan was also excited for a while, and then shook his head again: "When I came here five years, I only found one road, and it only leads to Zijing. There is no other passage! ”
