The senior brother quickly made a list and asked An Tong to find some guys who were good at water, prepared all the things on the list, and asked An Tong to pull the things to Fujian after raising all the things.

An Tong looked at the list and said to the senior brother, "Master, where are we going to fight?" So much equipment. "Senior brother is not in the mood to joke with him, so he must do it in two days. An Tong returned to Chengde with the list, and began to contact the guys first, and then went to get equipment in their respective divisions.

Tianxiang was not idle, and called his guys to wait for him in Fujian, and asked them to find two boats in Fujian.

According to the local boatman, there are no strong winds and waves in these two days, which is very suitable for going to sea, if you want to go to sea, it is best to go to sea as soon as possible, after all, good weather is not good.

The senior brother set the date for the day after tomorrow to go to sea, and my task in the past two days is to look at the owner of the ship, and talk to him again to see if there will be any new discoveries, and I always feel that this person is not telling the truth.

An Tong got all the things according to the list and arrived in Fujian a day ahead of schedule with the equipment. When we arrived, it was already night, all the equipment had already been put on board, and on the other boat, the guys from Tianxiang also came with equipment, so our equipment should be quite well prepared.

The senior brother asked everyone to have a good rest on the boat and not to go out and walk around, so as not to be discovered by others. I watched boredly on the deck at the lights in the direction of the docks, thoughtless for a while.

8 years ago, I went to sea with my master here, and it was here that I became the last day of my master's friendship, and it was also here that my brother and I were looking for the 702 salvage ship without any clues. With the passage of time, the anxiety and anticipation in my heart at that time were not so strong, but when I saw the scene here, although it was different from 8 years ago, my heart was still very sore.

An Tong saw me walking over on the deck and said, "Uncle Seven, I prepared half a month's rations, and I specially brought you 5 bottles of Xiaoyao. ”

When I heard about Xiao Yao, my mood suddenly changed, this is a good thing, immediately let An Tong bring a bottle first, and drink a few sips with me, we will have a different taste when we drink it.

I am not interested in other wines, but I have a soft spot for small burning, when I was young and went to the grave with my master, the master always let me drink a sip in order to give me courage, and now it seems to have become a habit.

An Tong is the fifth apprentice of Senior Brother, don't look at him calling me Seventh Uncle, in fact, he is two years older than me. We are just different generations, and his brothers and sisters also call me Uncle Seven.

An Tong has a bit of a martial arts foundation, he learned martial arts in a sports school before coming to apprenticeship, and later his family thought that it was useless to practice martial arts, and it cost money, so he sent him to the master to learn art, but the master did not accept him, but let the senior brother accept him. An Tong's craftsmanship has been passed on by the senior brother, and the technique is the same as that of the senior brother, but An Tong is much more clever than the senior brother, not that the senior brother does not know how to be flexible, but the era of our apprenticeship does not have such a complex social background.

After spending the night on the boat, I always dreamed about this night, dreamed of the scene of the year, and dreamed the most of the master's words "No matter what happens, you are not allowed to go to the sea", after waking up from the dream, I will always recall the meaning of what the master said. I have been dreaming about this for a long time, I have been asking myself the question just now, the more I think about it, the more tired I become, sometimes I really don't want to think about it anymore, but no matter what, I always can't help but ponder, and I always feel that I think I am wrong, I always think that life is the most important thing, if the master really knows that the Tao will endanger the loss of life, I don't think he will go.

I comforted myself: it's better to sleep, don't think too much, maybe all the mysteries will be revealed tomorrow.

After a night of rectification, we embarked on the sad road of 8 years ago. After the boat opened, everyone played cards together in groups of three, four, and groups. Many of the guys, like me, don't know what the purpose of our trip is this. Actually, I didn't even understand why I had to go there so suddenly. Perhaps it was because of my kindness to the master that I did not question it and did not raise any objections.

But I always feel that we came in too much of a hurry, and I am always uneasy for some reason, maybe I dreamed of the master's words last night. The current ship is different from the previous one, and the tonnage of the ship has also changed greatly, and according to the guidance of the previous owner, it will not take a few hours to reach the ghost sea.

After arriving in that area, we first wanted to find the island and reef back then, but after more than 1 hour in the nearby waters, we didn't see the island.

It seems that we can only use the old way, which is to wait for nightfall!

As the night approached, Tianxiang asked everyone to eat more to maintain their strength. The elder brother asked two of the watery fellows to prepare to go to the sea with us later. Then he talked about the details of going into the sea and the situation we had seen before, and warned them not to touch the corpses once they encountered floating corpses in the deep sea.

Tianxiang also told his men that they must wait for us to come back on that boat, even if this boat leaves, his boat cannot leave, and they can't go back until the food on the boat is eaten up.

When it got dark, there was a faint green light not far away, looking at the scene in front of me, my heart resounded with the sadness of the year, the senior brother saw my mood, came over and patted me on the shoulder, did not speak, and asked the owner to drive the boat into the green light.

After a while, the boat arrived, and the green light was just seen. We turned on the boat's lights and searched around, hoping to find the reef that had been around the island. But I still didn't find anything, and after waiting for a while, I finally saw a green light drifting from the left front, and the boat was moving in that direction, and soon the searchlight shone on a small piece of the reef that was outcropping out of the sea.

We wore professional wetsuits, which are said to allow people to work continuously on the bottom of the sea for 9 hours. The light on the diving cap can also last for more than 10 hours, and each of us brought an extra waterproof flashlight. Symbolically, they all carry regional intercom headsets, but they don't know if they work in the deep sea.

Only An Tong still had a diving bag on his body, and he didn't know what this kid was carrying.

The senior brother jumped down first, followed by the two guys, I went down with Tianxiang, and the last was An Tong. We had to swim to the reef in front of us, and then dive down the reef bit by bit.

The reef is small on the top, but it gets bigger and bigger the further you go into the sea. At first, I thought that the six of us could dive down around the reef together, which side found out the situation first, and which side to go to when gathering, but later found that this method did not work, the big bottom of this reef is the same as the big mountain on land, and it is impossible to see the edge with the naked eye, it is difficult to imagine that there are such large mountains in this deep sea.

After some communication, we decided to gather at one point and dive down, so that everyone could take care of each other.

I dived down for a while, but I didn't see the deep sea floating corpses before.

Instead, a large cave was found in the middle of the reef. When the flashlight shines in, you can only see a pillar of light, and you can't see it at all. It seems that the cave is very deep, and from the outside, it must have been formed naturally, at least there are no signs of carving on the outside. The entrance of the cave is like a bridge hole, and it is round and wide.

Tianxiang gestured and asked, "Do you want to go in and have a look?" The elder brother nodded. We started to swim towards the cave, which was very large and more than 3 meters wide in diameter. Swimming in, it is like a tunnel, surrounded by stone walls, and the head is a high stone roof, which is extremely smooth. You can feel that there is a strong current of water flowing out from the inside, which is supposed to be a circulation hole in the sea, and the sea water creates pressure in the cave and forms a circulation flow. All the way to the flow of water, with the changes in the cave, the water flow is sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, sometimes slow, sometimes rapid, unpredictable.

There was nothing inside, it was bare, and there were no living creatures, and after swimming more than 100 meters forward, branches appeared in the cave. However, this branch is obviously excavated from the back, and the traces of manual chisel can be clearly seen.

We stopped, and shone our flashlights on the two caves, which were still very deep, with only pillars of light, and nothing could be illuminated. The elder brother took out his dagger and marked the wall of the cave in front of us, and then we continued to swim forward, not into the artificially carved cave.

After swimming a distance, the flashlight shone forward, and I found that a flashing green light began to appear in front of me, and the senior brother motioned for us to all lean against the cave wall and not move, and I also prayed that we would not collide with the corpse. After all, space is limited here, and it's not so easy to run.

Sure enough, a green scale corpse, floating from the front, but this time it was not in a row, but in a row floated past us, a full 10 minutes, I can clearly see that each corpse has shining scales, I even feel that these corpses have spirituality, 8 years ago saw the scale corpses, is divided into several columns side by side, and this time in the cave these are lined up, do these scale corpses know that they are in the hole, so they are destroyed into a row, and then out of the hole is transformed into several rows, it is incredible.

There was a guy who was scared enough and trembled, after all, this scene was unimaginable on land, looking at his appearance and thinking that I was also this bear back then, is it the first time for everyone, understandable. I don't know if I'm understanding him or reassuring myself.

An Tong held a flashlight and kept shining on the one floating in the front, I tried to use the intercom to talk to An Tong, I was glad that the intercom was still useful, I asked, "What are you doing?" ”

An Tong touched his collar and said, "The first corpse is different from the others, there is a bell on his collar, you see." ”

After listening to An Tong's words, everyone looked at the first corpse that had gone away, but they couldn't see it clearly.

"What do you see? What bells? I asked.

"I don't know how to do it, I didn't see it too clearly, but there was something next to the neck of the first one that should be a bell, and I looked at the back one carefully, but there was none, only that one." An Tong replied in the affirmative.

I really didn't notice this, and now I can't chase it anymore, so I can only continue to swim forward. The further I swam forward, the more the flashlight shone brighter on the green light in front of me, and there were still corpses that had not yet floated. We waited against the cave wall again, but this time, we waited for a long time and didn't see the body float over. But there was a glittering green light ahead, and it was very dazzling.

Senior Brother swam forward first, and we followed. The green light is getting closer and brighter, and my heart is getting more and more uneasy, because this green light cannot be compared with the light from the corpse that floated away just now, this green light makes people cold, frightened, and shuddering, I can feel my blood vessels so tight, even if I touch it lightly, my whole body will explode like tension.

Soon I saw the end of the cave, and there was a large stone gate in front of it, and the orderly gap of the stone door could be clearly seen under the green light.

On the left side of the stone gate, there was a strong faint green light, and the green light shining from the inside was extremely eerie. We swam to the stone gate, I did not pay attention to the green light directly, but began to study the stone gate, this stone gate is very spectacular, the outside is carved with a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, the tiger painted in this picture is vivid, as if trapped in this stone gate, lifelike, vibrant.

The lower left corner of the door is engraved with several lines of characters, two in Mongolian and two in Chinese. The Chinese text reads: The tiger went out of the mountain town to ensure that the immortals were not invaded, and if a mortal broke into this place, he would be destroyed by heaven.

Looking at the words in front of me, I was extremely curious, if it was really written on the stone gate, then it should be an immortal, and the tiger on the painting should be guarding the stone gate, but if there are mortals in the next sentence, mortals should be talking about us people, and the last sentence is even more terrifying, not that we will be punished by God and destroyed by the door when we enter from this door. The person who wrote these words is too TM lacking in morality, and if he goes in, he will destroy the door, and the person who writes Y will bluff people.

As I watched, I called them over the intercom to come and see, and shouted several times, but no one answered. As soon as I turned my head to look at them, I was immediately horrified, my brain tingled, and I was stunned by the scene in front of me.

It all came so suddenly, and I was caught off guard and defenseless. I could feel my legs shaking and my heart pounding. The corners of my mouth trembled and asked, "What is this?" What's the situation? ”

No one answered my question, and in front of me was a huge space, as wide as the Great Hall of the People, with thousands of green-scaled corpses inside, each of which was glittering, as if to tell people that they were still alive. No, it should be said: there are thousands of corpses standing. They were really corpses, they were all upright, and each one of them was looking directly in our direction. It was so scary that everyone was stunned.

The searchlight above my head shone in, and the eerie scale light reflected inside, and my whole body was itching, and my hands were numb, and I wanted to scratch the itch, but my hands did not listen. I don't know whose flashlight shone on the head of a corpse, the corpse, the head was not wrapped properly, the whole head was emanated, the whole facial features were still clearly visible, extremely hideous, and the eyes full of green light were staring at us.

I saw that the guy next to me took the photo, so I quickly asked him to take the flashlight away. Unexpectedly, the moment he took the flashlight, another terrible scene appeared.

There was a corpse that had been standing, but suddenly it collapsed without warning, and it was floating in our direction. Then several more corpses fell, lined up in parallel lines, and they all floated towards us. Seeing this, we were a little panicked.

Seeing this situation, everyone was in a mess, and I don't know who shouted a word to run in a panic, everyone immediately began to swim out, everyone crowded together to swim, always bumping and bumping, at first I thought it was a scaly corpse that caught up, but later I found out that we were bumped together, this fugue ah, made me sweat, nervous.

After swimming some distance, I found that the corpses did not follow. Only then did everyone stop to calm down their panicked mood, Tianxiang said in the intercom: "Don't panic, everyone, they didn't follow at all, it may be another wave of corpses that are about to float out." ”

Let's not talk about how they became scaly corpses, but also that they can not only float and move in the sea, but also keep standing upright in that space, which makes people feel that it is not incredible, but incredible! Thinking about this, we all felt like we were chilling with fear. Think about it, who would have such a great ability? Who can create so many scale corpses, and also allow the scale corpses to move in the sea thousands of years later, who can create such a mysterious mechanism?

So, what to do now? Although everyone thought that there must be some secret in that stone gate, it was too terrifying for us to enter from there. We were discussing countermeasures, and to no avail, a fellow called us over, and it turned out that he had found a knife carved symbol on the edge of the cave wall, and he could see it clearly by shining a flashlight. This is supposed to be a symbol drawn by a peer, but this symbol is very strangely drawn, not only have we not seen this symbol, but we also don't understand the meaning of this symbol.

The symbol is a triangle at the top, with a horizontal line in the middle, and two numbers 1 and 3 below the horizontal line. I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't understand what it meant.

Based on this symbol and the cave that has just been excavated, we can conclude that someone has been here and tried to enter the stone gate.
