Chapter Ninety-Six: The Tank Monster

The militiamen rolled up the chains with a rocking winch, and under the drag of the chains, a huge black object was "booming" with water, and was hoisted up from the pool, because the light source of the torch was limited, and the object was black, and at first only the general outline could be seen, round and thick, like a large water tank, but one thing was certain, it was not an animal in the water, it was a huge object.

None of us have ever seen Taishang Laojun's Dan furnace, is it really what I said, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, in order to see more clearly, let Shirley Yang hold a flashlight to illuminate, I myself raised the torch inserted in the ground, and came up close to take a closer look.

At this time, the whole black huge object was hoisted out of the water, the militia platoon commander and others fixed the winch, and they all came over to watch, the diameter of the waterhole was less than three meters, more like a larger borehole, we stood on the edge of the pool, and we could reach out and touch the things that were hoisted up.

Under the illumination of the torch torch, this time I saw very clearly, only to see that this is a "big tank", at least the shape is very similar to a water tank, there are countless small holes in the cylinder body, and there are a lot of strange patterns tattooed, I have seen a lot of antiquities with Shirley Yang, this strange thing is still the first time I have seen it, I really don't understand what this thing is, I can't see the historical source of the age, let alone who it is, and it takes great pains to hang it in the waterhole with several chains, is this broken tank worth so secret?

The cylinder mouth is sealed, the lid is a spire, it looks very heavy, and there are six plugs on the side, if you want to open the cylinder head, you only need to remove the six plugs.

"Giant tank" is surrounded by holes the size of the little finger, as soon as it sinks into the pool, the "giant tank" can fill the pool water through this hole, but as long as the iron chain is lifted up with a rocking winch, as soon as it exceeds the water surface of the pool, the water stored in the "giant tank" will leak, and the water tank under the world is used to hold water, but the function of this "strange tank" does not seem to be so simple. It's for other purposes.

Even rough people like the militia platoon commander could see that this was not Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, and couldn't help but ask: "Chief Hu, why doesn't this look like Taishang Laojun's furnace for containing pills, but it is a bit like the broken tank that leaks water in my house." ”

I said to the militia platoon commander: "Comrade platoon commander, this is what you don't understand, do you have so many patterns on the water tank in your house?" You look at many simple and strange patterns, they must be antiquities, you just wait for the Cultural Relics Bureau to come and give you village militia a certificate of merit. ”

Shirley Yang looked at this strange tank, and he was also puzzled: "This is not like a water tank." I think it's more like a torture tool. ”

I said to Shirley Young, "I know what you mean, you mean to put a living prisoner in a leaky tank, dip him in a pool, and when he is about to drown, then hoist the tank out of the water and drain the water inside." I have seen it in movies before, and the reactionaries often torture our heroic and unyielding underground party with that kind of torture, but I don't think this strange urn is very much like a torture instrument, how can the torture instrument be so finely carved, the pattern on this tank is extremely exquisite, and it looks like something that has been around for some years. It's useless for us to guess. Go up and pull out the plug and see what is inside, if it doesn't matter, it's an elixir. ”

The militia platoon commander stopped me and said, "Chief Hu, don't you dare to open it indiscriminately, in case there are any demons sealed in the tank, how about releasing them?" ”

I said to the militia platoon commander: "How many times have I told you that there can be no monsters in this kind of place, just now we saw the iron chains in the pool shaking, it may be an underground lake under the pool." The big fish and prawns in the lake hit this tank. Don't be suspicious. If you still think like this now, I can't help it, let's let the facts speak, you all step back and cover me, and see how I can go and remove the cylinder head single-handedly. There are really vicious monsters in there, and they bite me first, and I want to see who dares to bite me. ”

They could not stop me, so they put up their hands and lifted me to the top of the "strange tank", which was very strong between the strange "strange tank" and the iron chain, on which I stood, although it was a little dangling, but the iron chain showed no sign of being overwhelmed and broken.

I climbed to the top of the "strange tank", and when I touched it, I found that the outside of this cylinder was wrapped with three layers of iron sheet brushed with raw lacquer, which was very strong, not an ordinary clay cylinder, and I secretly said in my heart: "Damn, what is such a strong cylinder in?" I don't know if it's really a ghost, just look at it after opening it, and seal the lid immediately if there is a situation. ”

Shirley Yang and the militiamen stood below, looking up at me, they all sweated for me, they kept reminding me to be more careful, I removed the two plugs, raised my hand and waved to the people below: "Hello comrades, comrades have worked hard." Then continue to lower your head and remove the next plug, which has been soaked in water for a long time, but it has not rusted, and it can be pulled out with a single force.

I had just dismantled the fifth plug when suddenly the "strange tank" under my feet shook, as if something in the tank was struggling vigorously, and I stood on it, unstable on my footing, and almost fell headlong. I hurriedly grabbed the chain with my hand and held my body firmly in place.

In fact, there is something in the "strange tank" hanging in the air, after all, this cylinder is heavy, and the swing is not large, but I was not prepared, but I was startled by it, I climbed the chain, only to listen to the "crackling" sound in the tank, it really seems that something is struggling.

Could it be that Professor Sun is trapped inside? Soaking in the pool for so long and not drowning? Shirley Yang and the three militiamen below also heard the voice, and they all shouted Professor Sun's name to the "strange tank", telling him not to worry, we will rescue him immediately.

There was a lot of noise in the cylinder, but no one answered, I was eager to save people, where could I manage a lot, immediately pulled out the last plug, the space for maneuver on the cylinder was limited, so I used my hands to climb the chain, trying to kick the cylinder head open.

At this time, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind: "In ancient times, there was a kind of coffin, using the tank as a coffin, and the dead were buried in it, but it was very rare, I have never encountered it. ”

I came to Shaanxi with Shirley Yang this time, and I also brought two flashlights, but they were all in Shirley Yang's bag, I now climbed to the top of the tank, except for the "touch food charm", I didn't carry any equipment, not even a black donkey, there is really a zongzi is also difficult, but I immediately dispelled this thought, I trust my half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" very much, since according to the book, there will be no zombies in this kind of place, there will definitely not be, his mother's philosophy must really have zongzi, When I went back, you tore up that half of the book, and then gritted your teeth and kicked the cylinder head open.

The cave was already dark, Shirely Yang and the three militiamen were holding torches under their heads, I didn't bring a flashlight when I came up, at the moment people were in the air, only to see the black rumbling in the "strange tank", plus the torches below shook my eyes, and I couldn't see anything, I leaned down to let the people below throw a flashlight up, just bent over, only smelled a fishy smell straight to the end of the nose, choked out of breath.

I hurriedly covered my nose and glanced at the "strange tank" with my eyes, and a white human hand stretched out from the tank in the darkness, and I exclaimed, "Professor Sun? He quickly reached out to shake the hand, trying to pull him up.

But as soon as my hand touched the arm in the jar, it felt that something was not right, it was wet and hard, it was a hand bone and not a living man's hand, and when I thought of this, it was too late, because I was in too much hurry, and I had already pulled up a skeleton human bone with a wide open mouth.

Although the "strange tank" is in mid-air, the light source is in a more * place, and the things in the tank are invisible, but the skeleton was pulled out by me, but it is real, Bai Sensen, watery, this thing is completely beyond expectations, the psychological gap is too big, I was so scared that I screamed, flipped off the tank, and fell headfirst into the waterhole.

The water in the deep pool was cold and biting, and the yin qi was extremely heavy, I fell into it with my head down and feet up, and was choked by the pool of water so that the nasal pain was unbearable, fortunately, I grew up from the Fujian seaside since I was a child, whether it was a swimming pool with a jumping platform in the military region, or a seaside with high winds and waves, it was a place where I swam with fat people and others when I was a child, and the water nature was practiced at that time, because I didn't know what danger was when I was a child, and I almost drowned in the water many times.

At this time, I fell into the pool, but I didn't panic in my heart, I opened my eyes in the water, there was no light source, I had to swim back to the mouth of the pool immediately, otherwise I would choke to death in the water, but it was dark all around, and I was dizzy when I fell down, and I lost my sense of direction completely, and I couldn't hear the sound in the water, it was as if I was dead, and I could hold on for another half a minute at most, and it seemed that I couldn't go back.

Just when I was already desperate, suddenly my eyes lit up, someone with a waterproof flashlight swam towards me, not a bystander, it was Shirley Yang who saw me fall into the pool, this pool mouth is small and big, once it falls, if you don't swim back within two minutes, you have to drown below, dare not delay, grab a rope from the militia, jump into the pool with a flashlight.

I knew I couldn't do it anymore, so I grabbed Shirley Young's hand and the militiamen pulled the ropes on top of us and dragged the two of us up.

Shirley Yang's face turned pale: "You old Hu, this time this is dangerous, I'll be a few seconds later...... I can't say anything about you, it's unimaginable. ”

It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I was grateful and ashamed to Shirley Yang: "I almost went to see Marx again, but I was born twice and matured, and I wandered around before the ghost gate closed more times, so I wasn't afraid." It doesn't matter if it's a few seconds late, it's a big deal that you can drag me up and give me a few more respirations......"

I was about to say a few more words when there was another sound from the "strange tank" hanging in the air, as if someone was knocking on the wall of the tank for help......
