Tang Anshu still shook his head: "What do you mean?" I don't have any of these diseases. ”

Benzoin nodded: "Maybe it was caused by you hitting your head, or maybe you inhaled something, after all, the environment outside is too weird." ”

When Tang Anshu heard this, he immediately looked outside: "What is the place outside the cave?" ”

Gu Feng got up and said: "You can go out and have a look, we don't know, we will arrive at such a place after falling." ”

Tang Anshu immediately walked towards the outside of the cave with Gu Feng, Benzoin and others, and as soon as he came out of the cave, Tang Anshu felt a heat wave hit, and found that the outside of the cave was white, and he could smell a strong sour smell.

Tang Anshu covered his nose: "What smell?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for others to answer, Tang Anshu vaguely saw several figures in the smoke, he subconsciously pulled out his pistol and aimed ahead, but was held down by Gu Feng's raised hand.

Gu Feng said: "Don't be nervous, you can go and take a look." ”

Although Gu Feng said this, Tang Anshu still refused to let go of his weapon, and walked towards the black shadow with a pistol, and after getting closer, he saw clearly that they were several weathered corpses standing in place.

Gu Feng stood beside him, looked at Tang Anshu, who approached the dry corpse and observed it carefully, and asked, "Tang Anshu, do you know who these people are?" ”

"Ming Army." Tang Anshu replied without thinking, "And it should be a naval army in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is an elite division, you look at their dress, wearing iron helmets, wearing cotton armor, covering arms on their upper limbs, armor skirts down their waists, and guarding feet on their legs." ”

As he spoke, Tang Anshu found something on the ground again, leaned over to pick it up, blew up the dust on it and said, "Look, there are still face armors here." ”

Gu Feng and Benzoin approached, looking at the mask in Tang Anshu's hand, Benzoin touched it with his hand: "Or copper?" ”

Tang Anshu explained: "The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were very powerful, and the officers and soldiers were often prone to facial injuries, so the face armor was promoted, and it was generally divided into two kinds, one was called the golden face, which was cast with copper, and the mask was painted with cotton inside, and the other was called the dragon scale face, which was covered with cowhide and inlaid with copper scales. ”

Benzoin took the mask armor in Tang Anshu's hand: "So, this is the golden face?" ”

Tang Anshu looked at the other dried corpses carefully: "That's right, you see, these people still have armpit armor under their armpits, and they also have beast mouths to protect their throats. ”

Gu Feng asked again: "Why are you so sure of the water army?" ”

"First, this is an island, and the coastal defense strategy of the Ming Dynasty is simply nine words - the law of defense, and the island is the top. Therefore, it must be the water army that appears here, of course, I don't understand these, I heard Cai Qianqing tell me. Tang Anshu said and smiled, recalled the past, paused and said, "Second, they are wearing cotton armor, not iron armor. ”

Gu Feng nodded and looked at the armor carefully: "What is the cotton armor?" What's the difference with Iron Armor? ”

Tang Anshu pointed to the armor and said: "The soft armor of the Ming Dynasty is roughly divided into two kinds, one is cloth armor, the other is soft leather armor, and the cloth armor is inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, and it is subdivided into two kinds, one is cloth, the middle is decorated with iron armor, and the surface is inlaid with iron nails, and there is another kind of cotton armor, and these dry corpses are wearing cotton armor. ”

After speaking, Tang Anshu pulled out a dagger and stabbed it: "These cotton armor are very particular about the production, the record says that the cotton armor is seven catties of cotton, sewn with cloth such as a jacket, the arms are five inches over the shoulders, the lower length covers the knees, and the thick lines are horizontal line by row. Sew tightly into the water, soak it up, spread the ground, and kick it firmly with your feet to not swell and swell. Dried and harvested, the rain is not heavy, the mildew is inexhaustible, and the bird can not be seriously injured. ”

Gu Feng was very surprised after hearing this: "The bird can't be seriously injured!?" Is this thing bulletproof? ”

Tang Anshu said: "It is only limited to the low-level bird guns in the Ming Dynasty, and the current steel helmet has the same effect, and it is not directly bulletproof, but I don't know why these people keep this posture and become dry corpses." ”

"You can see it when you go ahead, the smoke here is too thick to see clearly." Benzoin said as she walked through a few dried corpses.

While Tang Anshu followed benzoin forward, he found that there were many dried corpses with the same dress and different postures around, most of them were standing in place, some were sitting on the ground, and some were lying down and seemed to be sleeping.

It looked like something had taken their lives and turned them into what they were.

But what kind of things will make people still look alive after death?

The smoke finally gradually dispersed after walking about fifty steps forward, and then, what appeared in front of Tang Anshu's eyes was a steaming lake, an underground lake.

Tang Anshu stood by the lake in a daze, stunned by the scene in front of him: "How can there be a lake here?" ”

Benzoin nodded, "Yes, I also wonder why there is a lake, and you see, this lake seems to have no end in sight, and I don't know how big it is." ”

Tang Anshu smelled the sour smell and squatted down to find that the smell came from the lake.

"Brimstone." Benzoin leaned over and said, "There's the smell of sulfur, and the smell of other things, mixed together, you look over there." ”

Tang Anshu looked at Benzoin's hand and found that there was something on the shore of the lake on the right, he immediately stepped forward and found that there were many fish, shrimp and crabs in the shallow water along the lake, especially those shrimp and crabs, which were several times larger than what they usually saw, like monsters.

"It's all dry shells, like the dried corpses over there." Benzoin picked up a crab shell with a knife, "The body is stuck in the mud and sand in the water, and I don't know how many years have passed." ”

Tang Anshu remembered something at this time, raised his eyes and looked around: "It's strange, obviously we are underground, in the cave, why is it so bright?" ”

Gu Feng pointed to the top of his head: "The rock above your head seems to glow, by the way, and there, there is a hole, and there is more smoke in the hole than below." ”

Tang Anshu looked at Gu Feng's hand and found that there was a big hole on the top of the cave, white smoke swirled at the entrance of the cave, and there was a whirlpool in the center of the smoke.

What the hell is going on? Why do you have those weird dreams? Why would I do it to Gu Feng on the premise of losing consciousness, and the shots were all killer moves?

"What do you think?" The question of the ancient style made Tang Anshu come back to his senses.

Tang Anshu shook his head: "Maybe it's an underground volcano, in short, there are too many possibilities, we don't have much food and water, everyone has rested enough, we have to move on, have you scouted the surroundings?" ”

Gu Feng said: "There are dead ends on both sides, you can't climb up, and there are no other caves, so there is only one way, which is to cross this lake and go inside." ”

"How do you get through?" Tang Anshu was very embarrassed, "Swimming?" Impossible, this lake is sour and smelly, and if you swim down, it won't be long before you are either stunned or smoked to death. ”

Gu Feng patted Tang Anshu on the shoulder and pointed to the dense fog on the right side: "There is a camp over there, there is a boat there, you should go and see it." ”

Tang Anshu was very surprised: "Camp? ”

Hiding in the cave, Li Zhaonian, Wang Qingyun and Tang Hualong sat there, staring at each other without saying anything.

Finally, Tang Hualong broke the silence: "Is there still smoke?" ”

Li Zhaonian took out a pack and threw it to Tang Hualong, Tang Hualong took out six cigarettes, lit them, and inserted them on the ground: "Worship Bolie and Gu Zhi." ”

The three of them sat there, looking at the burning cigarettes, and they were all depressed.

Tang Hualong broke the silence again: "Adjutant Gu blames himself very much, he has always treated us well in the prison, so from now on, everyone should not mention the matter of Bolie and Gu Zhi." ”

Wang Qingyun agreed: "At least don't mention it until we leave alive." ”

Li Zhaonian looked at the cigarette inserted on the ground: "Can we go back alive?" ”

Tang Hualong affirmed: "It will definitely be possible!" Believe in the ancient adjutant. ”

Li Zhaonian said in a deep voice: "Of course I believe in Adjutant Gu, but I'm a little worried about that physiognomy. ”

Wang Qingyun also looked at Tang Hualong and said: "Me too, you have also seen it before, if it weren't for the Gu adjutant, I'm afraid that with the three of us, we would definitely not be able to restrain the crazy Tang Anshu, and if there was a slight difference before, we would all die." ”

Li Zhaonian got up and said: "I didn't expect that kid to look weak, but his fist and foot kung fu is so powerful, far above the three of us, if this kind of problem arises again, in case Adjutant Gu is not here temporarily, or if he is injured, we will be all finished." ”

Wang Qingyun continued: "Before coming down, I heard Adjutant Gu roughly say that everything before was set up by the marshal who was deceived by Hu Shen, and Tang Anshu was Hu Shen's apprentice, although he broke with the master because of this matter, but I always felt that something was wrong." ”

Tang Hualong stopped the two from discussing further: "Don't say it again, you have to listen to Adjutant Gu in everything, and when he comes back, you can find a way to drag Tang Anshu, and I will find an opportunity to discuss with him." ”

Li Zhaonian and Wang Qingyun heard Tang Hualong say this, so they had to nod in silence.

The six cigarettes on the ground gradually burned out.

Walking about 100 meters to the right side of the lakeshore, there is really a small camp hidden in the smoke.

The camp not only has a wharf on the shore of the lake, but also countless fish baskets for raising fish, with brackets for drying fishing nets and dried fish on the shore, a stove next to it, and a dozen or so tents of different sizes but full of holes in the back.

"It's not a big camp." Tang Anshu looked around, "There should just be an advance force stationed here." ”

Benzoin looked around: "Isn't that big?" ”

Gu Feng said: "Tang Anshu is right, it's not big, according to the current system, it is a company to support death." ”

Benzoin pointed to the shore: "There are simple docks, fish farming tools, and drying shelves, no matter how you look at it, you are ready to live for a long time." ”

Tang Anshu walked to a tent: "There is no contradiction between what you and I said, the reason why there are these things just shows that they are the advance army who came to explore the way, and found that this place is suitable for living, so they set up camp on the spot." ”

"Here?" Benzoin looked around, "Livable?" It's suitable for burial. ”

Tang Anshu looked inside through the hole in the tent, and then leaned down and got into the big hole below.

Seeing this, Benzoin also got in, leaving Gu Feng standing outside with a gun to guard in case of an accident.

Inside the tent, there were more than a dozen dried corpses lying neatly, judging from the clothes, they should be sleeping.

Tang Anshu looked left and right and asked, "Ah Xiang, how do you think these people died?" ”
