Chapter 108: Everlasting Lantern
"Then you should be careful, fortunately I have prepared a walkie-talkie, and I will come to you when there is any danger. ”
Although Wang Meng spoke, it could be seen that Jiang Shuai's eyes were still full of concern and worry about me, and he rummaged through his bag for a long time and handed me a walkie-talkie.
I don't know if this thing will be able to be used when I go into the dungeon later, but I still accepted it, otherwise Jiang Shuai would definitely not be at ease.
After instructing them some precautions, I took out a diving mask from my bag and put it on my head and prepared to jump into the dark river, I have to say that Jiang Shuai is really a very careful person, this time he asked him to prepare equipment, everything is very prepared.
It's late autumn in December, but strangely, the water in this dark river is not so cold and biting, but the water temperature is about 30 degrees.
If you look at the river, it looks warm and warm as if it were still bubbling like a hot spring.
After I put on all my equipment, I stretched out my hand to test the temperature of the water and it didn't feel very icy, so I took off my jacket, because the rest of my clothes were in the camp, and if I got soaked in the river, I would definitely get cold.
"Don't take off your clothes, the water looks crystal clear, but we don't know if there are any other harmful substances and creatures, in case it comes into contact with the skin and causes harm to the body. ”
Just when I was halfway off my coat, Wang Meng immediately stopped my movements, I listened to his words, thought about it, and didn't take off my clothes again.
"It's just that if I don't take it off, I'll get wet later, and it will be very uncomfortable to wear it on my body. "Just as I was about to enter the water, I thought of this question again in my mind, and looked at Wang Meng in embarrassment.
However, who knew that Wang Meng just smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched my nose: "With me, can you still get cold?" You can rest assured and boldly follow me, and I will solve other things, good." ”
Actually, after reading so many romance novels, I really like the kind of cold and domineering president fan, and Wang Meng used to be like this, he was cold and rarely spoke.
But since establishing a relationship with me, I have found that Wang Meng's coldness is becoming less and less manifested in front of me, and the doting look that speaks to me from time to time really melts my heart.
It was also at this time that I found out that I was not a person who liked coldness, but as long as this person was Wang Meng, I liked it regardless of whether he was cold or spoiled or black-bellied.
While thinking beautifully in my heart, the corners of my mouth unconsciously rose up, Wang Meng had already taken the lead in swimming in front of me, I took a deep breath, adjusted my breathing, and went down to the warm river.
As soon as I entered the water, although I was covered by a mask, I still keenly smelled the strong mineral smell in the river water, like sulfur, could it be that this is really a hot spring?
Since I had already entered the water, although I had doubts in my heart, I still didn't ask, but silently swam forward behind Wang Meng.
The water was very clear, and we stirred up a lot of sediment at the bottom of the river, but soon the sediment calmed down, and the river returned to its clear state, and the view became clearer.
After swimming for about three to five minutes, the river still has no end, and about one meter above my head is the rock wall of the cave, which looks very wet on the stone wall, and it keeps dripping into the river.
The sound of water droplets splashing in the river was very crisp, and I was swimming, but Wang Meng's voice sounded in my head: "Don't be distracted, be careful, there may be something in the river." ”
I was still outside the fugue, but when I heard Wang Meng's words, I immediately reacted, but I was still puzzled in my heart, is there something?
Just when I was puzzled by what Wang Meng said, the corner of my eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a white thing on the right side of the river, and when I swam to look closely, I almost didn't break out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that this white thing was not anything else, but a pile of white bones, which looked like the bones of small vertebrates, and should be the remains of pangolins.
I looked at the bones in front of me, and I understood why Wang Meng wanted to remind me that there might be something in the water.
This is the depths of the cave, or the underground river, even if there are small mammals such as pangolins, they will only move outside the cave, and even if they accidentally enter this cave, the corpse will not die in this narrow dark river.
The only possibility is that there may be predators of these animals in this dark river.
I continued to swim forward, Wang Meng suddenly turned his head to look at me, his eyes met my gaze, I nodded at him, and gave a gesture to show him to be reassured, Wang Meng also nodded.
His voice came to his head again: "You can go out in front." ”
I nodded, and continued to swim forward, and sure enough, after about half a minute, there was a light in front of me, and the further I swam, the brighter the light, and soon we swam out of the dark river and came to a cave the size of a basketball court.
It seems that there is really a cave in this cave, if it weren't for the help of Wang Meng and the compass, ordinary people would ignore it even if they came to the cave outside, who would have thought that there would be such a huge space inside?
Wang Meng took the lead in going up from the dark river to the shore and stretched out a hand to pull me, and after I went ashore, I obviously felt that the temperature here was higher than outside.
However, although the temperature here is not low, and the temperature in the dark river is not low, you will still feel cold when you come out of the water.
Just as I took off my wet coat and my body trembled a little, Wang Meng's arms suddenly wrapped around me and surrounded me.
I was trembling, Wang Meng's sudden movement made me stunned for a moment, and then a blush quickly rose on my face: "Although there is no one here, it's not good for you to do this, okay? ”
Although I said this, my body still honestly wrapped my arm around Wang Meng's neck, and looked at him with a smile on my face.
"What do you want? I'll dry your clothes. Who knew that after seeing my reaction, Wang Meng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then stretched out his hand and gently gave me a burst.
I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, the clothes that were still wet just now are indeed dry, and the dried clothes still have a trace of imperceptible sandalwood fragrance, which is the taste of Wang Meng.
God, is this the legendary internal force drying clothes? I didn't expect that it was not a lie in martial arts novels.
"What kind of magic trick are you, teach me, do you have to get through the second vein of Ren Du to learn?" I looked at Wang Meng with a pair of eyes.
Who knew that Wang Meng sneered again and touched my hair: "Fool, it's just a small trick, if you like it, it's good to teach it to you when the time comes, but now is not a good time to learn." ”
Wang Meng doted on the drying coat for me, and on the other hand, he walked to the left side of the cave on his own, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on a protruding part of the stone wall.
After about two or three seconds, a loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the cave, and the sound was deafening, as if the cave was about to collapse.
I stared at the cave with wide eyes, and saw that the place where Wang Meng had just knocked quickly collapsed, and soon a huge stone gate was separated from the stone wall.
And the source of this huge sound is the sound of the stone gate separating from the stone wall.
"Is this the so-called secret door?" I stared closely at the crack in the open stone door, there was a black hole inside, and I couldn't see the specific scene inside, but I could see a stone staircase extending downward, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.
"It's so obvious, how can it be called a secret door?"
Wang Meng beckoned to me and motioned for me to follow in his footsteps and walk down the stone staircase.
I followed behind Wang Meng, walking cautiously, the walkie-talkie in my hand made a sizzling electric current sound from time to time, I simply turned up the sound to the maximum, and soon, Jiang Shuai's eager voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"It's been half an hour, why hasn't there been any movement over there, or you wait here, I'll take a look." ”
As soon as I heard this voice, Jiang Shuai said it to Liang Qiang, and after hearing the content of his words, my heart also swelled with a warm current.
"I'm fine, we just went ashore, there is a secret door and stone staircase here, it should be the entrance to the ancient tomb, don't worry, keep in touch." ”
After saying this, I also learned to say "over" like an old Hong Kong movie police movie, and Jiang Shuai was obviously excited when he heard my voice.
But I was also amused by my over, and smiled and said tell me okay, and also answered me an over.
After about three minutes of walking up the stone staircase, the steps disappeared and I was greeted by rows of lamps.
The shape of this lamp is a crane, and on the top of the crane's head is a lotus flower, and the lotus flower is obviously a lamp, which contains lamp oil, which is burning leisurely.
"This lamp is quite chic, but who lit it? “
I looked at the lamp in front of me and praised, this is a cemetery, will there be a grave keeper lighting a lamp in it, so how can they eat, drink and lazar?
"This is an ever-bright lamp, and the oil in it is made of merman grease, which can be burned for thousands of years and remains inextinguishable. "Just when I wondered what it meant.
Wang Meng explained to me the reason, I looked at the lamp oil burning slowly, although it looks ordinary, but to burn for thousands of years without extinguishing, the production process must be very exquisite, right?
I have to say, the wisdom of the ancestors is really endless, and I have to thank this magic circle, if I hadn't come to find this coffin mushroom, I might only be able to see this kind of wonder in books or in my life.
