Chapter 508: Ghost Gate
After we continued swimming for five minutes, we felt that the number of headless monkeys was starting to decrease, and then a short distance ahead, we saw a fork.
At this time, the people who swam in front of us all stopped, and after seeing us, Liang Zi and Kui Wu swam over, and one of them picked up one, and now Xiao Wu and Gelding Lao Dan are not in good condition, we must go ashore in the shortest possible time, otherwise I really don't know what will happen.
The fork in front is a bit like an intersection, but it is an oblique crossing, the three forks in front are not the same, the passage that goes straight on the opposite side is the same as this side, there is no change, but the two sides are much smaller, and it can be clearly seen that these headless monkeys are swimming out from both sides.
Just on the edge of the passage on both sides, you can see two iron gates that can be raised and lowered, and now just by looking at it, you can know the next road we are going to take, so there is nothing to worry about.
After checking the number of people, we saw that there were no fewer people, so we swam directly along the opposite passage, this time also full speed ahead, time is very precious, it is too insecure in this water.
After swimming about 50 meters, the water level began to slowly become shallower, and then a row of stairs began to appear, but the stairs were very gentle and did not go straight up.
After the water level dropped below the chest, we took off the oxygen mask, and the air in the entire tomb was not difficult, and the sound of running water came from the front, and the movement was not small.
On both sides of the tomb there are some very old wooden stakes, which are not used for support, but seem to be kept in a circle here, and they are arranged neatly.
After a short walk, the water level continued to lower and gradually began to calm down after reaching about our knees.
"The road behind won't be like this, the fat man doesn't like to soak his feet, where does so much water come from in this tomb......" The fat man said impatiently.
It's a bit strenuous to walk in it, and to be honest, it's better to swim all over the body to save effort, because the water level is just up to the knee, which makes it very uncomfortable to walk, and the resistance is also very large, and the foot is uncomfortable to lift, and it is even more uncomfortable to put down.
In addition, in this dim tomb tunnel, there is an uncomfortable atmosphere, we must not only walk forward, but also pay attention to our feet, for fear that something will come out of the water, because as we walk, the bottom of the water is not clear.
However, this situation is still much better than that of those headless monkeys just now, so I held up my flashlight and shone on the road that still looked very deep in front of me and said: "Be content, we have swam out, the air is fine, the ventilation is good, and if you go further, you should be able to go ashore." ”
The fat man could only nod his head, and followed the team to start walking forward, at this time Xiao Wu still did not wake up, his body had been replaced by Liang Zi to carry it, to say that the most uncomfortable should be Liang Zi, the tomb here is not high, I just feel that Liang Zi's head can't be lifted, but Liang Zi has nothing to complain about, and has been walking behind me.
When I was on the road in front, I also learned about the headless monkeys just now from the gelding bullet, and it turned out that the explosions under the water just now were caused by the gelding bullet, and he directly blew up all the cans in those small houses.
Those headless monkeys, although their heads have been removed, but they still have some kind of connection, those pimples on the neck, it is a secret technique of the shamans, we don't know how to get it, but we can guess some principles, and the Gu technique of the Miao Jiang generation, it is the same way.
The eunuch was not sure at that time, so he could only swim back and blow up the jars in those small houses directly, after all, there was no other way at that time, but Sima was a live horse doctor.
And the effect is unexpectedly good, now think about it, if it wasn't for the gelding bullet that blew up the heads in those jars, I guess we would still be trapped in the water.
As for Xiao Wu and the water zongzi, he can only ask when he wakes up, it must be quite tortuous, in the water, the water zongzi is really difficult to deal with.
After we had walked forward for about five minutes, the water level under our feet began to lower again, and at the end of the tunnel, we finally saw something, no longer the endless darkness.
When I got to the front, I saw that the water source had disappeared into a platform, and there were still steps connected to it, and the water became clear, because the ground was all stone steps, and there was no silt or dust, so even if you walked up, it was very clear.
There are two large stone pillars standing on both sides of the platform, each showing an H-shaped appearance, the top of the tomb at this time is also raised all of a sudden, about seven or eight meters, the height of a three-story building, just behind the platform, there is a small high platform, a very ancient stone table is placed in the middle, the top of the stone table is a disc, which is engraved with some Qiankun patterns, a bit like the meaning of a compass plate.
At the center of the stone plate, a spike came out of the pan, about a meter high, and it looked very precise, as if it was measuring something.
Continuing to look back, I saw that there was a tomb door twenty meters away from the stone table, and the whole tomb door felt a little eerie, like a ghost gate, because this shape really looked like a demon's mouth.
Above the tomb door, there is a horizontal bolt, like a person's forehead, the whole is protruding, and more than a dozen iron rods are inlaid on the top, and I don't know what the intention is.
And in front of the tomb door, seven stone piles were directly erected, each stone pile was about one meter and five high, showing a four-two-one pendulum, staggered with each other, directly blocking the tomb door, this thing is like preventing vehicles from passing through the tomb door, it can't stop people at all, and it goes in after two turns.
On both sides of the tomb door, there are oil lamps hanging on each side, and according to the urine properties of this ancient tomb, eighty percent can be lit.
After getting on the platform, we didn't rush directly into the tomb door, but rested on the spot first, and the fat man and I ran to the graveyard with wooden planks in front of us, and folded some wooden planks back, although these planks were very wet, but they dried after a while on solid alcohol.
After a while, the bonfire was clamped, and the group of people were all wet, and this fire gave us a very warm feeling.
The bear meat in front of us had already been roasted and eaten, and while we were resting, we began to solve the problem of the stomach while roasting the fire, and when the problem of food and clothing was solved, we were going to open the tomb door like a ghost gate.
