"Sanmo! Three inks! Sanmo, what's wrong with you? ”

I slowly opened my eyes, and the person in front of me was Lian Mingche, who was looking at me suspiciously, with an anxious look on his face.

I suddenly remembered the terrifying scene before, and kept retreating in horror: "Youkai, don't come!" ”

Lian Mingche's eyes widened: "Monster? Who are youkai? You're sleepy, aren't you? ”

What the? Drowsy?

I looked up around me and saw black sunglasses and a couple of small cops watching me.

I shook my groggy and swollen head, could it be that everything just now was a nightmare that I had?

I reached out and pinched Lian Mingche's thigh, and said to myself, "It's okay! OK! You're alive! ”

Lian Mingche grinned in pain: "Sanmo, what are you doing?" ”

I suddenly laughed stupidly: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay! ”

Black Sunglasses looked at me with a slurp: "It's over, it's over, this kid is crazy." ”

I jumped up from the ground excitedly and danced: "I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy! Ha ha! I'm alive! Hahaha! I'm alive! ”

Lian Mingche was taken aback by my actions, and hurriedly held me down, and said anxiously, "What's wrong with you?" You speak! ”

I didn't hear what Lian Mingche was saying clearly, and the whole person was still immersed in the ecstasy of the rest of his life.

"That's it, before I can escape, I'm going crazy." Black Sunglasses came to us, sighed and shook his head.

I calmed down and smiled at them a little awkwardly.

Lian Mingche said: "Can you do it? We're ready to sail! ”

I got up from the ground, jumped on the spot a few times, and said, "I wish I could get out of this place." ”

The water is quiet, serene like a big mirror.

The roar of the motor broke the silence, and the tin boat suddenly pushed the waves away and drove with more horsepower towards the outside of the cavern.

I looked back at the ghostly fishbone temple, and I still felt a little emotional, I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it, just a person standing on the bow of the boat looking at the river in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind the stern, and the hull shook slightly, as if it had hit something.

This brought me back to my senses, and the captain slowed down the ship, poked his head out of the cockpit and called us to see if we had hit something and if there was any damage to the hull.

A few of us hurried to the stern of the boat, and looked into the river through the beam of the searchlight, and the miserable white light fell on the surface of the river, only to see that less than ten meters from the stern of the boat, there was a black thing floating and sinking in the water.

I suddenly thought of the huge unknown monster in the black mist, and I couldn't help but shudder in my heart. But it soon calmed down again, and the black shadow in the water seemed to be only the size of an adult, and it was definitely not the monster in the black mist.

I waved at the cockpit and motioned for the captain to turn the rudder slightly to the left and lean over to take a look.

As the tin boat approached the black shadow, my heart beat faster.

Lian Mingche manipulated the searchlight behind him, so that the aperture just projected on the black shadow, and at this time, I finally saw the true face of the black shadow clearly, and I couldn't help but exclaim.

Black sunglasses said: "Little comrade, why are you like a girl, what are you shouting at the top of your voice?" ”

I pointed to the black shadow in the water, and my voice trembled: "Coffin... Bronze coffin... Octagonal copper coffin! ”

"What? Octagonal copper coffin? Even Mingche was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and walked quickly to the edge of the deck, stretching his neck to look into the water.

A black octagonal bronze coffin floated in the water with waves, and the coffin was covered with many strange runes and pictures, exactly like the octagonal bronze coffin that we found on the river surface of Kakeji Temple and then disappeared.

Lian Mingche and I glanced at each other, with deep doubts on our faces, how could there be an octagonal copper coffin here? Could it really be where all the secrets originated? It seems that in this cave, in addition to the black coffin hanging in the air, there are other coffins buried, so where did this one come from? Could it be that it came out of the river?

We hurriedly cast the salvage net, and several people worked together to drag the octagonal copper coffin onto the deck.

The copper coffin was wet, dripping with water, and the coffin god became extremely bright due to the perennial erosion of the river.

I spat in the palm of my hand, and I picked up the sapper shovel to open the coffin.

Lian Mingche hurriedly grabbed my arm: "Wait! What are you doing? ”

"Open the coffin, of course!" I say.

Lian Mingche said: "You can't open the coffin easily, we don't know what is in it at all, have you forgotten what happened on the river surface of the Jiajia Temple that night, if you rashly open the coffin now, as long as something happens, we people can't escape now, and we will all be buried here, so we must be cautious!" ”

"Yes, yes, blame me!" I slapped my head suddenly, how could I forget the abnormal movement of the octagonal copper coffin that night, fortunately even Mingche reminded me in time, otherwise I would open the coffin unprepared, which might harm everyone, but then I was very depressed and thought: "Then why do we have to bother to salvage this copper coffin?" Isn't this full of food? ”

"Why don't we bring this octagonal bronze coffin back?" I asked for Lian Mingche's opinion.

Lian Mingche shook his head: "No, it's too conspicuous to carry this coffin, I don't know what will happen along the way, and I guess the really valuable things are still under this water!" ”

I pushed the octagonal bronze coffin back into the river, and then said: "I think so too, now it can be determined that this place must be related to the copper coffin, and the secrets we want to find and crack may be under this river, or let's go into the water to see?" ”

"Do you want to go into the water and die?" The black sunglasses gave me a white look: "There are corpse-eating water beasts underwater, there is a man-eating black mist, and there are huge whirlpools, plus that monster that doesn't know how big it is, even if you have nine lives, you can't come back alive!" ”

"Alas! So what to do? I sighed slightly, in fact, what Black Sunglasses said is not unreasonable, but things have come to this point, how can I give up so easily?

If I can't figure out what these mysteries are about, what is going on with the hydra tattoo, and I can't find the female corpse, don't say whether there will be any danger, and it is impossible to spare me even in the game.

Lian Mingche said: "I also think that we should not be reckless, no matter what, we should cherish our lives, and we can't joke with our lives casually, in my opinion, the matter of going into the water needs to be considered in the long run, anyway, we have survived so much time, and we are not in a hurry." ”

Although I knew that Lian Mingche was right, I was still very disappointed: "Are we really going to give up this operation?" ”

Lian Mingche stared at the mysterious river and said: "I didn't say that we would completely give up this operation, I mean we will wait for two more days, and then go into the water when all the preparations are done, after all, we are now running out of ammunition and food, plus the lack of equipment, if we go into the water now, we will have no chance to resist when we encounter danger, let's leave here temporarily, go back to the bureau first to prepare well, and then I will drag my friends to let them buy some equipment, and when the preparations are done, we will come back here to find out, what do you think?" ”

Even Mingche's proposal was good, and we all nodded in agreement.

The tin boat started again and headed out of the cave, and I looked back at the deep water, and swore in my heart that no matter how sinister it was, I would go down and find out the whole thing.

The tin boat sailed out of the cave slowly, but fortunately, the strange black fog did not appear, and the giant beast in the whirlpool did not appear.

When we left the cave, it was already sunset outside, and we stayed in the cave for a whole day and night, the storm had stopped, the sky was clear again, the Haihe River stopped roaring, and the lower end of the Nine Rivers in this section was restored to its former glory.

Basking in the gentle evening breeze, a joy rose in our hearts for the rest of our lives, looking back at the cave, slowly shrinking in our sight until it disappeared, this strange experience has left a deep imprint on my heart, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

Standing on the deck, his arms outstretched, the evening breeze blowing his hair, he squinted at the sinking sun in the distance and said, "It feels good to be alive." ”

The captain of the boat took out the hook again and sat on the side of the boat to fish.

I was lazily lying on the deck, basking in the sun with my eyes slightly closed, and Lian Mingche suddenly squatted down beside me and asked me in a very small voice: "Sanmo, there is something I have forgotten to ask you." ”

I opened my eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

Lian Mingche said: "What did you dream about in the temple? Why do you yell, cry and fuss in your dreams? I thought you had fallen for it. ”

I smiled awkwardly and said vigorously, "Nothing, really nothing." ”

However, he was muttering in his heart: Damn, do I dare to tell you that nightmare, if you know that I dreamed that you turned into a zombie, you have to peel off my skin!

In the face of Lian Mingche's questioning, I could only adopt evasive tactics, under the pretext that the ship boss was calling me, and slipped into the cockpit, leaving Lian Mingche behind me in a daze: "Did the ship boss call you?" Why didn't I hear that? ”
