Chapter 238: The Entrance to the Bottom of the Sea

Under the cover of night, we arrived at the detected dive site, and in addition to us and Akai Yoshitaka's people, Xie Tianhui also brought dozens of capable men on board.

We changed into heavy diving suits, looking at the undulating sea, our chests involuntarily felt heavy and oppressive, tomb exploration is like a normal routine for me, but after all, this time is different, the place to be explored is under the sea, no one knows what awaits us in the deep seabed.

The others were all ready, waiting for Xie Tianhui to give orders, he had been silent since he got on the boat, looking at the sea with a somewhat solemn expression, and only then did he get up and take off his clothes, but he didn't see that this ruffian had a strong body.

Putting on the equipment, Xie Tianhui nodded and signaled to start diving, because we were all diving for the first time, and the depth of the dive was extremely dangerous, so Xie Tianhui arranged a person around us to lead the way and assist.

As the water splashed again and again, the people on the boat disappeared into the sea one after another, and I was about to jump down when Xie Tianhui grabbed me from behind.

"Follow me."

This is the briefest thing he has said since I met Xie Tianhui, only me and him were left on the boat, Xie Tianhui actually helped me check the diving equipment very seriously, and rudely pushed me down after making sure that it was correct.

The weighted wetsuit quickly sank me into the sea, even though I was wearing an airtight wetsuit, I could still feel the biting coldness of the water, I tossed in the sea a few times, and gradually began to get used to it, feeling my back being slapped, and seeing the light of the sky pointed to the dark seabed, signaling me to follow him to continue diving.

The visibility on the bottom of the sea is less than one meter, and the searchlight on my head can only penetrate a distance of a few meters, I can't see the people who dive first, I can only follow the Xie Tianhui in front of me, as the depth of the dive increases, it is gradually difficult to breathe under pressure, I feel that my chest is pressed by thick stones, and even the movement of swimming has become sluggish.

Xie Tianhui actually turned back from the front, he probably guessed that I was diving for the first time, and I would feel uncomfortable at this depth, so he grabbed my arm to help dive, his hand was very strong, like an iron tong, as if he was afraid that I would be lost in this abyss.

Yes, of course he was afraid that something would happen to me, after all, he still had to count on me to help him find the Jieshi Golden Palace, I explained this to myself in my heart, but Xie Tianhui grabbed me too tightly, and there was a feeling that I couldn't speak.

In the dark abyss, time has lost its meaning of existence, and I numbly continue to move towards the unknown abyss under the leadership of Xie Tianhui, without jubilant fish, nor do I see the exciting beauty of imagination, the underwater world, except for the awe-inspiring darkness, is only cold.

Suddenly, I saw a faint light in front of me, and after diving for more than ten meters, I finally saw that the people who went down before were all stopped in one place, and the huge well wall passage appeared in my eyes, as I guessed, the well wall extended to the huge mountain under the sea, and the incomplete well wall entrance was blown up, which could accommodate five or six people to enter at the same time.

Until here, Xie Tianhui didn't let go of my hand, I struggled to wipe the seaweed on the wall of the well, and I could clearly see the lines of the Qin bricks on it, I nodded, this is the place we are looking for, pointed to the inside of the wall of the well, and signaled to enter through the passage.

In the wall of the well, because there is no impact of seawater, the action seems to be much easier, I have sketched the outline of this undersea passage in my mind before, but when I really enter it, I can appreciate the vastness and difficulty of this project, it is difficult to imagine how many people were mobilized to complete this magnificent act, after all, at that time, without diving equipment, it was a miracle to build this undersea passage brick by brick by manpower.

After a long time, someone in front of me swam back and made a gesture in front of Xie Tianhui, Xie Tianhui let go of my hand, pointed to the front and motioned me over, swam about 20 meters, and saw the palace lord and them stopped at the end of the well wall.

Tian Ji clearly dropped the seaweed on the stone wall at the end, a Qin Dynasty carving skills of the ink dragon presented in front of my eyes, the former Qin to the white tiger Shaohao descendants of self-proclaimed, and Qin Wangzheng to the ink dragon Taihao as a memory, this ink dragon appeared here, only revealed a message, the owner here is the Qin Shi Huang who swept the six worlds.

I gave a thumbs up and nodded to the others, a little different from what I had guessed, I thought that the end of the well wall was the entrance to the Jieshi Golden Palace, and I was worried before I came, the well wall was blown up, and the sea water would pour into the Jieshi Golden Palace, now it seems that my worries are unnecessary, this stone wall blocks the end of the well wall, and at the same time blocks the seawater.

I pointed to Gong Jue, since the stone wall is used to cut off the passage of the well wall, there must be a way to open it, Gong Jue comprehended, swam to the stone wall and studied for a long time, and finally cracked the mechanism above, with the opening of the stone wall, the ink dragon was divided into two, and suddenly felt a huge suction, involuntarily sucking us into the back of the stone wall.

When everyone in the wall of the well entered, I looked closely and found that it was nothing more than a confined space, and the sea filled it in an instant, and on the opposite side was another larger dragon, and the field chicken swam up to me and spread his hands, and I understood that he was asking what to do next.

I looked around, this is a huge mountain built on the bottom of the sea, the role of the well wall is to connect the land, easy for the people who built it to enter, after the well wall is completed, there should be no seawater here.

I hurriedly signaled the palace lord to close the stone wall we entered, and then asked him to open the ink dragon mechanism on the opposite side again, when the second stone wall was opened, the sea water immediately surged inside, it was a larger space than the outside, and in the inside our heads could be exposed to the outside of the seawater.

I suddenly understood the reason for the construction of this place, I asked the palace lord to close the second stone wall, and on the opposite side was another larger dragon, when the mechanism was opened, with the influx of seawater, we saw a third stone chamber built in the sea mountain, larger than the previous two, but at this moment, the sea water only submerged to our waist.

These chambers are used to prevent the backflow of seawater, from the first stone chamber to the present, the further you go in the stone chamber, the larger the space of the chamber, the seawater will fill the first chamber, but the further you go, the lower the water level of the sea.

When the palace lord opened the fourth stone chamber, my inference was confirmed, the sea water only passed the surface of our feet, these four stone chambers built in a row are the best waterproof project, even if there is an accident, the four stone walls are undoubtedly four insurance, can be foolproof to ensure that the Jieshi Golden Palace is not flooded by the sea.

I slowly removed the mask from my head and took a deep breath, there was still air in the bottom of the sea, who knew how deep.

"It's strange, the Jieshi Golden Palace is obviously built on the bottom of the sea, why is there still air?" Tian Ji also took off his diving suit and asked.

"In addition to the passage we entered, there should be a place to connect to the outside." Gong Jue said as he took off his diving suit.

"The only entrance we found was the old dragon head, and since there are other places, why hasn't anyone found it for so long?" Ling Zhihan asked.

"The position we are in now should only be the entrance to the Jieshi Golden Palace, and the Jieshi Golden Palace should still be in a deeper place." I pointed to the top of my head. "If there is another passage, it should be at sea."

"In such a hidden place, why do you have to get two entrances...... Ling Zhihan was just halfway through speaking, the flashlight light moved down, and his voice was confused. What are these white things under our feet? ”

From the time we got here, although the sea water only submerged to the instep of the feet, we could hear the sound of collision one after another, and the sound came from under our feet, and with the light of the flashlight, I saw that in the large stone chamber, there was a thick layer of white things floating on it, and with the undulation of the sea, they hit each other and made a crisp sound.

Tian Ji stretched out his hand to pick it up, and glanced at it with the help of the light, the whole person was startled, and a skull was suddenly held in his hand.

"Yes...... It's human bones! Tian Ji said in horror.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, in this huge stone room, there were corpses floating all over, and the torn clothes were all the costumes of the Qin Dynasty, and these corpses should be the people who participated in the construction of this place.

Gong Jue's face suddenly looked startled, and he quickly returned to the stone wall that had been closed, groping for a long time, and when he turned his head, his expression was extremely shocked.

"It's a big trouble, this mechanism can only be opened from the outside, and the four stone doors weigh more than ten tons, so they can't be pried open at all."

I sighed in my heart, I didn't expect this stubble, think about it carefully, it is indeed my own negligence, and the old dragon's head is connected to the wall of the well, the function should be used to transport the people here, but this is a way to come and go, since Qin Shi Huang took great pains to hide the existence of the Jieshi Palace, he will definitely not let anyone leave here alive.

There are tens of thousands of bones under our feet, how can these people not want to escape, so many people can't open these four stone gates, not to mention that there are only dozens of us in total now.

"What now?" Akai asked.

"Since there is air here, it means that there is another exit to the outside, and the original way is not to expect to be able to return, only to keep going inside, and maybe there is a glimmer of life." Gong Jue replied coldly.

Xie Tianhui squatted on the stone wall and called us, there were chiseled grooves on it, and there was something like grease in it, and I put the dots on the tip of my nose with my fingers to smell it, revealing the smell of fish.

"It's fish oil." I say.

Xie Tianhui nodded and motioned for his people to light it, the dark stone house gradually brightened in the rising firelight, the fire trough that had been extending forward, outlined the complete outline of this place in front of us, and in front of us was a long passage, and we were still at the entrance of the Jieshi Palace.

I looked around, this place is built on the mountain, directly chiseled the submarine mountain range, eliminating the need to transport a large number of building materials, which may also be the reason why the Jieshi Palace is located here, but until now, I still can't understand why Qin Shi Huang mobilized the people to build the Jieshi Palace on the bottom of the sea.

If the Aoki River underground altar is used to bury the Wajibi, then the role here should be the same, but in order to hide the two pieces of jade, two ruins were built at all costs, and I am curious why these two pieces of jade are so important and what secrets are hidden inside.
