Senior Brother Geng said: "The well water should not be that deep. ”

I wondered, "I've used a flashlight before, but the light can't penetrate the water layer." The water in the well is at least 100 meters away, right? ”

Senior Brother Geng: "The water in the upper layer of Qikou is clear water, and the water at the bottom layer should be very turbid, causing the light to be impenetrable. Don't worry, the water can't be too deep, otherwise the external Qi field can't enter, and the Qi mouth will lose its effect. ”

While I was talking to Senior Brother Geng, Liu Shangang had already begun to distribute diving equipment.

Although the time is in a hurry, Liu Shangang still has a complete set of things, in addition to compression bottles and winter clothing, masks, snorkels, fins, and a jacket-style hard vest, Liu Shangang said that it is a force adjustment vest, which is used to adjust buoyancy.

Xian'er and Luo Fei went to the backyard with their winter suits, and several of us big men sat down around the well and quickly changed into winter clothes.

When Senior Brother Geng and Liu Shangang took off their coats, Liang Houzai put the evil charm on their backs, and Liu Shangang put another layer of waterproof film on the outside of the evil charm.

After we cleaned up, Xian'er and Luo Fei also came back in winter clothes, and Liu Shangang distributed waterproof bags to everyone, asking everyone to put the changed clothes in with other things.

In this kind of thing, Liu Shangang is indeed much more careful than ordinary people, I remember that in the early years, he always complained that he was like a logistics worker, but whether he complained or not, he was our logistics support, without him, many things could not go smoothly.

Before going down the well, Liu Shangang hung steel cables around everyone's waists to ensure that no one would break away from the team in the water.

I put on the mirror, beckoned to Liu Shangang, and pointed to the wellhead, and when I saw Liu Shangang make an "OK" gesture to me, I drilled into the wellhead face down.

The width of the stone well is only about one meter, and I hold a waterproof flashlight with one hand to illuminate the depths, and with the other hand I touch the wall of the well and slowly dive.

Brother Geng is right, the water in the upper well is indeed clear, but after diving about ten meters, the water becomes very muddy, and when I swim downward, there are some small cotton wool-like particles around that flip in the water, I shine a flashlight, and I feel that they are a bit like scales falling off the fish.

Behind me was Senior Brother Geng, when he dive to about twenty meters, he pulled the rope, I turned my head to look at him, and saw him point to the wall of the well on the left, probably afraid that I would not be able to immediately his intentions, he stretched out his hand again, patted the wall of the well, and used his other hand to draw the shape of a door.

I knew that Senior Brother Geng was asking me to pay attention to whether there was an exit on the wall of the well, so I nodded at him, and Senior Brother Geng nodded at me.

Then I continued to dive, occasionally polishing the wall of the well to see if there was an exit.

The water became more and more muddy, and the battered "fish scales" like cotton wool almost completely blocked my vision, and the water pressure increased, which also made me slightly breathless.

At this moment, my left hand, which I had been touching the wall of the well, suddenly felt empty. At that time, I realized that Senior Brother Geng had guessed correctly again, and there was indeed a hole in the wall of the well.

I looked at the empty spot and could only see a black hole, and then I turned the searchlight through, and the light passed through the gap in the large number of "fish scales", illuminating a crack in the wall of the well.

At this time, I felt that someone had grabbed my ankle, it should be that Senior Brother Geng had already arrived behind me, I looked back at him, and vaguely saw him pointing to the landing point of the searchlight, as if to signal me to go in and have a look.

The crack was narrow, and I had a compression bottle on my back, and it took a lot of effort to get into it.

At the other end of the rift, there is a circular waterway with a regular shape, the diameter of this waterway is about three or four meters, it is quite wide, it is horizontally extended, there seems to be a relief on the wall, but there are too many "fish scales" in the water, and I can't see what is carved on it.

However, it can be determined that this waterway should lead to the direction of the tomb.

At this time, Senior Brother Geng leaned on the crack, as if he was looking at me, but the visibility in the water was very low, and he must not be able to see anything clearly. I pulled the steel rope on my waist, and Senior Brother Geng immediately understood and followed in.

When he came in, he looked around, then pointed ahead, and motioned for me to move on.

After advancing a distance in the waterway, I felt a slight yin qi, and as I went deeper and deeper, this yin qi became more and more intense, I was a little worried about Senior Brother Geng and Liu Shangang, and glanced back, but my vision was completely blocked by the fluttering "fish scales", and I couldn't see the people behind me at all.

After swimming a certain distance, the waterway is no longer straight, it starts to bend to the lower right, I swim all the way in the direction of the waterway, this bend is very long, I swim for a long time, the arc of the bend does not change at all, gradually, I also understand that this is not a curve, but a circular loop, and as I swim, I can feel the water pressure getting stronger and stronger.

I suddenly began to admire Senior Brother Geng, and he guessed correctly again, on this side of the well wall, there was indeed a spiral road that spiraled downward.

When I first entered this spiral path, the water became more and more turbid as we went deeper, but after a while, the water gradually became clearer again.

In the second half of the spiral, a slender vortex appeared in the water, and the "fish scales" were stirred into a stream by the vortex, which first flipped and sank to the ground, and then floated down the ground towards the upper half of the spiral.

I reached out and probed the water close to the surface, where it was flowing rapidly towards the upper spiral path.

In one channel, the water appeared in three completely different states, most of the water was in a near-static state, but the water at the bottom was flowing rapidly, and not far in front of me, there was a whirlpool.

It seemed to me that this was completely contrary to the laws of physics, and that the vortex alone should be able to stir up the still water in the vicinity, and I was so close to it that I could not feel the force of the water pumping forward.

At this time, the steel rope on my waist was pulled again, and when I turned around, I saw Senior Brother Geng pointing ahead, signaling me to move on.

I avoided the vortex and continued to swim deeper into the spiral, and later I saw several similar vortices, which, like the previous one, had no effect on the water in the rest of the area, except for the ability to roll the "scales" into a single strand.

The water pressure is getting stronger and stronger, I can clearly feel that it is difficult to breathe, and my head is beginning to ache dullly, before Liu Shangang mentioned "nitrogen drunk", I don't know what the so-called nitrogen drunk symptoms will be, but I know that for those of us who have no diving experience, if we continue to go deeper, it is very likely to be dangerous.

When I looked back at Brother Geng again, I saw Brother Geng quickly swimming in front of me, pointing to the top of the spiral path and holding out three fingers towards me.

I didn't understand what he meant, so I drew a question mark with my hand.

Brother Geng traced the trajectory of an arch and held out two fingers towards me.

I could probably understand what he meant, he was trying to say, let me keep an eye on the top of the spiral, where I would find three exits, and only the second exit was a living road.

I nodded, and continued to swim forward, striking the light of my flashlight on the stone wall at the top of the spiral.

As the water became clearer, I could see clearly the reliefs on the stone walls, which had been soaked in water for many years and had long been corroded, but I could still vaguely see that they were small seal characters.

After a while, I found the first hole in the top stone wall, and there was a not-so-strong suction force around the hole, and the water in the spiral was slowly sucked out of this place.

I glanced back at Senior Brother Geng, who shook his head.

Soon, I found a second hole, there was no suction near this hole, the water around it was still, and in front of my sight, there was a very thick eddy, a large number of "fish scales" flipped and sank along the vortex, I guess above the vortex should be the third hole, those "fish scales" came out of that hole.

Brother Geng swam up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and pointed to the hole above my head, motioning for me to get in.

The hole was very narrow, I could only unzip the bottle, hold it in my hand, and drill into it with great difficulty, but fortunately the hole was very shallow, I swam a distance of about two or three meters from the other end of the hole, and I used a flashlight to light, and I saw a slope in front of me, and there was a faint reflection of light above my head.

After Senior Brother Geng and the others came out, I swam towards the slope and crawled along the slope for some distance, and finally came out of the water.

When the water pressure disappeared, I felt relaxed, but I didn't rush to take off the breathing mask, and when my body warmed up a little, I opened my eyes and carefully investigated the changes in the Qi field here.

There was a strong yang aura in the air, and at the same time, the smell of silt was a bit heavy, and it was impossible to determine what the air quality was.

At this time, Liu Shangang took out a meter from the waterproof bag, he stood in place for a while, looked at the dial again, and then took off the mask and closed the gas valve of the compression bottle.

Seeing his actions, a few of us took off our masks one by one.

Xian'er took out the fox fire lantern, and the dark green fire immediately lit up a large area.

This is a natural cave turned into a burial chamber, a large number of stalactites have been cut off by the waist, after years of erosion, the area around the fracture has become very smooth, the ground is piled up with a thick layer of "fish scales", and the air is filled with a heavy smell of mold.

In the middle of the burial chamber was a coffin, which I immediately recognized, a black sarcophagus.

Senior Brother Geng looked at the black sarcophagus in the center of the tomb and couldn't help frowning: "There is also a nine-eared tomb connected to the end of the spiral path...... The thing at the bottom of the tomb must be extraordinary. ”

Nine-eared tomb? But I only saw the large burial chamber in front of me, but I did not see the ear chamber, and there was no other exit around the burial chamber.

Liang Houzai on the side was also puzzled: "What about the ear room?" ”

Senior Brother Geng walked to the black sarcophagus without saying a word, pacing around the coffin, he didn't have time to take off his fins, he walked with his legs forked, looking very weird.

After two turns around the black stone pipe, Senior Brother Geng put his face on the lid of the coffin, and I was afraid that he would have an accident, so I took off my fins, took out the green steel sword and the Fantian seal from the waterproof bag, and followed him.

Brother Geng's ears were pressed against the lid of the coffin, and I was tapping on the coffin with my hands, and as I stood next to him, I could hear an empty echo from the coffin.

At the bottom of this black sarcophagus, there should be a secret passage.

I asked Senior Brother Geng, "Do you want to open the coffin?" ”

Senior Brother Geng waved his hand.

A moment later, he shifted positions and struck the lid again, this time with a muffled voice coming from the coffin.
