This strange scene that suddenly appeared in front of me completely attracted the attention of Li Huiyan and me.

At this moment, the eight wooden coffins seemed to come to life, and they were consciously rotating around the wooden coffin containing Xiao Yue, as if they were dancing, but it was more like they were holding some kind of ancient and mysterious ritual.

While the eight wooden coffins rotated around the one in the middle, a slender white shadow in the pool water flew up and down from time to time. I immediately saw the white shadow, the corpse of the woman in white who had almost dragged me into the bottom of the pool.

"What now?" Li Huiyan and I glanced at each other, and said at the same time.

The scene in front of me was so weird that my feet were so numb at the moment that it was extremely difficult to even stand up, let alone swim to the middle of the pool to push the wooden coffin containing Xiao Yue to the shore.

In addition to me, there is only one Li Huiyan who can't swim, and it is even more impossible to go into the water.

"Let's take a look, maybe it will be fine in a while." Looking back at the wooden coffins in the pool, I thought about it and said to Li Huiyan.

But when I said this, I was very uncertain, what should we do if this strange scene continues?

My attention fell on the white shadow in the pool that kept flying up and down, and I secretly thought to myself, if I went into the water again at this time, what chance would I have against this white-clothed female corpse?

I suddenly remembered the old man I met in Ghost Yazi Mountain who saved us and passed on my "Nine Character Dragon Shaking Technique", and thought that if he was here, there must be a way to deal with these things easily.

Thinking of this, I secretly made up my mind that if I had a chance to leave this ancient tomb alive, I would definitely learn the feng shui techniques in that ancient book when the time came.

Just as I was thinking to myself, the situation in the pool changed again.

The remaining eight wooden coffins that had been revolving around the wooden coffin in the middle suddenly dispersed, and then as if pushed by an invisible force, the eight wooden coffins collided with each other at a very fast speed, making a series of deafening loud noises in this narrow cave.

The next moment, countless pieces of broken wood splashed around with the cold pool water.

"Be careful!"

I couldn't care much when I saw the scene in front of me, so I pulled Li Huiyan, who was squatting beside me, and then turned over and pressed on her, blocking her underneath.

"Ah......h

The sudden change frightened Li Huiyan screamed, and when she reacted, her face instantly turned red, and she covered her face with her hands and didn't dare to speak.

When everything calmed down, I rolled over again and sat down on the sidelines.

Just now, I was hit four or five times on my back by the coffin splashed in the pool, and it was very painful.

"That...... The situation was urgent, and I had no choice but to do it, not because I wanted to take advantage of you. ”

Seeing that after Li Huiyan sat up, she kept her head down and didn't speak, so I quickly explained.

"I know...... Don't talk about it. After Li Huiyan finished speaking, the red glow on her face condensed again.

Seeing that Li Huiyan didn't seem to mean to blame me, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chizhong again.

It doesn't matter if I don't look at it, this sight scared me so much that I almost jumped up from the ground where I was sitting.

Because of the sudden two-by-two collision of the eight wooden coffins before, there were still ripples on the surface of the pool at this time, and countless broken wooden coffin fragments floated on the surface of the pool.

As far as the eye could see, except for the wooden coffin containing Xiao Yue, which was still intact, there was no complete wooden coffin on the pool.

Although there was no wooden coffin, there were no more, no less, just nine female corpses in white around the wooden coffin at this time. Except for the one I threw into the pool before, the other eight female corpses in white should have escaped from these broken wooden coffins.

The atmosphere in the pool became more and more weird, and the speed of the nine white-clothed female corpses around the wooden coffin was obviously much faster than before, and even the pool water with the entire pool slowly rotated, with the wooden coffin where Xiao Yue was as the center, the entire pool gradually formed a huge whirlpool.

"What now?"

This sentence came out of my mouth, not only asking Li Huiyan, but also asking myself.

Before, just a white-clothed female corpse almost pulled me into the bottom of the pool and lost my life, but now there are suddenly eight more female corpses, even if the wound on my foot can recover immediately, I am not confident that I can guarantee that the wooden coffin containing Xiao Yue will be brought back to the shore.

If I was dragged to the bottom of the pool by nine female corpses in white at the same time, no matter how good I was, I would not be able to escape.

"When I was a child, I heard adults say that people who die in the water will become water ghosts because they can't be reincarnated, and when they meet people on the shore or in the water, they will be used as their stand-ins. Xiao Yue shouldn't be favored by these female ghosts and want to pull her as a substitute for the dead ghost, right? Looking at the strange scene in the pool, Li Huiyan said with some trepidation.

"It's impossible, these people didn't drown in the water, so they shouldn't be water ghosts." I said with some uncertainty.

After all, I still know too little about ghosts and gods, and I am limited to some ghost stories that I have heard and seen on weekdays, and who knows if the person who wrote those ghost stories made them up blindly.

The corpse poison on my ankle was not the same as Xiao Yue's, it was only caused by the touch of the female corpse's palm, and after this moment, I have improved a lot, and my legs have gradually regained their strength.

Looking at the swirling female corpses in white, I had a gut feeling that there was a mysterious force in this pool that controlled these female corpses.

Although there is no way to see with the eyes, it is as if countless thin threads are connected from under the pool, manipulating them like puppets.

Staring at the only remaining wooden coffin in the center of the pool, I didn't know what to do in the face of the eight other white-clothed female corpses that suddenly appeared in the pool.

Xiao Yue must be saved, and she can't watch her lying in a wooden coffin trapped in the middle of the pool, but how to save her has become a difficult and difficult problem.

"Or ...... I'll go down and try again, maybe this time I can bring the coffin to the shore. ”

After countless thoughts went through my mind, I finally proposed to Li Huiyan, even though I had no confidence in my heart when I said this.

"Then you be careful, if the situation is not right, come back immediately, don't be reckless, I'll pick you up by the pool."

Seeing that I seemed to have made up my mind, Li Huiyan didn't say anything, just whispered.

I nodded, glancing at the blue finger prints on my ankles that were almost gone, and I couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

Jumping into the water again, I didn't have time to feel the coldness of the pool, so I swam straight to the middle of the pool.

Since the female corpses rotated around the wooden coffin, driving the water in the entire pool to rotate constantly, I obviously felt a little strenuous to swim this time.

However, just as I swam less than two meters away, a bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart.

When I looked up, I was startled that the nine female corpses stopped moving and floated towards where I was when I got into the water.

Although the female corpse's hands and feet were stiff and did not move at all, it seemed to be pulled by some force, and moved silently and extremely fast in the pool.

"Zhang Sansan, you come back soon." Li Huiyan noticed the movements of the white-clothed female corpse for the first time, and shouted to me anxiously.

In fact, as soon as Li Huiyan spoke, I had already turned around and swam back to the shore.

When I swam to the shore, Li Huiyan immediately reached out and pulled me ashore, and when I got to the shore, my heart was still pounding.

I turned my head and looked at the pool with some trepidation, and the nine female corpses in white had already arrived at the place where I had been. If I hadn't turned back decisively, Li Huiyan would have pulled me ashore decisively, but I was afraid that I would have been dragged to the bottom of the pool by these white-clothed female corpses.

My mood suddenly became a little heavy, and the method of going into the water to push the wooden coffin over was obviously no longer working, and these white-clothed female corpses were extremely sensitive, and as soon as someone entered the water, they would immediately rush up.

However, could it be that Xiao Yue had been lying in the wooden coffin and had been trapped in the pool?

The nine white-clothed female corpses returned to the wooden coffin again, and began to rotate around the wooden coffin as before, and the water of the pool turned into a huge whirlpool again.

The speed of the white-clothed female corpse is getting faster and faster, and the speed of the water in the pool is also getting faster and faster, and the water level in the center of the pool is already about two meters lower than the shore.

"What do they want to do?" Looking at the strange behavior of these female corpses in white, Li Huiyan, who was standing next to me, asked.

"I don't know, but the strange behavior of these female corpses must be the reason, it looks like some kind of ancient sacrificial ritual." I didn't know how to answer, so I had to tell my guess.

"Sacrificial rituals?" Hearing this, Li Huiyan seemed to think of something, and then said: "If your guess is true, then this pool should not be as simple as an ordinary pool, but an altar set up in this general's tomb." ”

As soon as Li Huiyan's voice fell, before I could speak, the situation in the pool changed again.

There was a slight tremor in the entire cave, and then the water level in the pool dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was about a meter lower, and the faster it went down, the faster it became, as if there was a sky-swallowing beast at the bottom of the pool opening its mouth to drink water.

Li Huiyan and I frowned at the same time, and the atmosphere on the court became a little heavy.

No one knows what will happen next, as the water level of the pool drops, the wooden coffin containing Xiao Yue also sinks downward, and it is impossible for me to push the wooden coffin to the shore again.

"Are you afraid of death?" The water level dropped again by about two meters in an instant, and I turned my head to Li Huiyan and asked.

"I'm afraid, who is not afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid that I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life." Li Huiyan replied without the slightest hesitation.

I have to say that our beautiful school girl is very smart, and immediately understood the meaning of my words, if we watch the wooden coffin containing Xiao Yue fall to the bottom of the pool and ignore it, even if we can leave here alive in the end, I am afraid that we will have a troubled conscience for the rest of our lives.

Getting Li Huiyan's answer, I glanced at her, and then silently stretched out my hand.

Li Huiyan also stretched out her hand to grab me very cooperatively, and then the two of us jumped at the same time, jumping into the pool where the water level dropped more than a foot.

Jumping into the pool, I immediately hugged Li Huiyan and slid to the edge of the pool, fearing that the white-clothed female corpses would approach.

As it turned out, my worries were unfounded.

For some reason, the corpses of the women in white who we thought would immediately rush up did not approach us, and still kept rotating around the wooden coffin in the center of the pool.

Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

The water level in the pool was constantly decreasing, and I noticed that the walls below the pool were extremely smooth, as if they had been dug out by hand, and the further down I went, the smaller the area of the pool became, in the shape of a funnel.

After about four or five minutes, the water level had dropped by more than 30 meters, and the bottom of the pool was already faintly visible.

I looked down and saw that at the bottom of the pool there was a round platform of bluestone piled up, covered with irregular red lines.

Half a minute later, the water in the pool disappeared completely, and Li Huiyan and I stood at the bottom of the pool, a little exhausted.

At this point, we finally got to see the bottom of the pool.

I saw that on the bottom wall of the pool, there were four circular holes with a diameter of about one meter, and the water in the pool flowed out of the four holes.

When Li Huiyan and I were about to fall to the bottom of the pool, we were almost washed into the suction of this hole, but fortunately, I reacted in time and pressed the pool wall in time to avoid a catastrophe.

However, the nine female corpses in white were not so lucky, and they were all sucked into these four holes without exception.

I noticed that the wooden coffin containing Xiao Yue was now smoothly falling on the one-meter-high circular stone platform in the middle of the pool, and it was in the middle of the pool.

Li Huiyan and I stepped forward at the same time, and it was only then that I realized that the stone platform was engraved with some complex and unfamiliar ancient characters, which I had never seen before.

Moreover, the crimson lines that I had mistakenly thought were not carved on this platform, but some strange roots that were red in color and spread out of the cracks in the stones.

It seems that this is an ancient altar hidden at the bottom of the pool.
