Waist-deep underwater, the miner's lights clearly shined on the bottom of the water, and I used to step on those fine stones under my feet, but I don't know when it was different. Among the rubble beneath our feet, there were some strangely shaped flakes of stone, and I reached down to touch one and found that it was actually a fragment of a clay pot that we had seen on an ancient shipwreck dug up in Devil's City.

These pottery shards were buried in the rubble revealing a small part that had to be looked at carefully to distinguish them from the fine fragments, and it is clear that by this time, there were traces of the activities of the ancients. But looking at the quantity, it seems that there are a lot, all hidden under the gravel.

Everyone began to use their feet to remove the broken stones, and soon more shards were revealed. The fat man lifted the lamp high and shone it all around where we were standing, so that we could see more clearly what was going on under the water.

Beneath the rubble here, mixed with a large number of fragments of clay pots, not deeply buried, stretching from where we stood to the far end of the lake, with no end in sight, and the more we went in the direction indicated by the mark left by the stuffy oil bottle, the denser the number of these shards became, and I could see that they were being rushed from that side.

The fat man dug deeper, and found that there were still a lot of gravel in the depths, and at such a scale, it was impossible to count how many jars were buried here. The fragments of these clay pots in the water are angular and sharp, like a blade, and among the fragments are human bones, which have rotted and are full of holes, which are basically incomplete, and some even have some hair sticking to them, which makes people shudder.

This kind of scene looks very similar to the scene I saw near Xisha where Hailao porcelain was covered with the bottom of the sea, and the entire seabed was porcelain at that time. But the porcelain is buried in the white sand of the sea, which looks ancient and mysterious, and these ugly jars are in the rubble, and the human bones and hair inside only make people feel disgusting.

Looking at those skulls, we all got goosebumps. "What the hell are these?" The fat man was speechless.

I told them what had happened after the shipwreck was excavated in Yadan Devil's City, but they didn't know the details, so I explained to them that these were the clay pots that had been found at that time. According to Wu Lao Si and the display of the relief, this should be a sacrifice to the snake.

"Is there a shipwreck behind this?" The fat man said as he paddled the miner's lamp.

I shook my head, I guess it couldn't be a ship. For one thing, it is impossible for a shipwreck to sink so deep underground, unless the lake has a waterway to the outside world. Second, these jars belong to the sacrifices of those snakes, and they should be placed in places related to the sacrificial activities, and I think this place must have something to do with the religion of the Queen Mother of the West, and there are so many of them, it seems that this kind of jar was not a rare thing at that time.

I still agree with Wu Laosi's statement that this is a sacrifice, but it doesn't make sense to know this, and I think of Wu Laosi's screams at that time, and I can't help but feel like pins and needles on the soles of my feet.

I'm still a little scared when I think about my experience in Devil's Town, but nothing should happen here. Looking at the degree of damage to these jars, the insects inside must be gone, and the human bones are also eroded, and they are crispy when touched, and these things have been blistered in water for thousands of years, and it is good that they have not become dust. And the clay pot is absorbent, if there is a sealed clay pot that has been buried in the water for so long, the water has already penetrated little by little, and the inside must have been filled with water, and the insects should have drowned.

"With so many offerings, could it be that behind this is where the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West is located?" One of the third uncle's buddies asked.

I thought about it, and I can't say that there is no such possibility, but this is also a completely unfounded speculation. The heart says it's better or not.

The fat man said: "No matter what he is, we have to be careful, don't step on those pottery shards, I don't know if these bones are poisonous, Xiao Wu, you better wash quickly, be careful of your wound infection, it will be miserable to amputate later." And since these are sacrifices to snakes, there may be that pheasant neck here, and we must be careful. ”

"Thank you for your concern." I glared at him angrily. He didn't care at all, and said strangely: "It's strange to say, speaking of those snakes, it seems that I haven't seen them since I entered here, where are those hanging sausages?" ”

I don't know if it's the bone fragments of these skulls, or if some pottery shards have been broken by me, but any of them are not good things anyway.

At this time, the black blind man dived into the water and dug out half of the skull from it, the back of the head was gone, and the gray gelatinous tissue in the brain cavity could be seen, like a beehive, which should be the masterpiece of those corpse turtle kings. Why there is a corpse turtle king in this skull is completely unverifiable, but judging by the meaning, it seems that these clay pots are sealed with human heads to raise this terrifying bug, which is a bit like modern beekeeping. If Wu Laosi's inference is correct, this behavior may have originated from some mysterious customs during the period of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is not known where they caught this kind of nesting worm in people's brains.

We continued to move forward among the fragments, paying special attention to the water so as not to be scratched by the pottery shards, and the situation became more and more distinct, and the further we went, the more fragments of the clay pot beneath our feet. After walking less than a kilometer like this, we found ourselves on a shallow beach made entirely of clay pot fragments.

The whole area is full of fragments of clay pots, large and small, most of the Yan sè are dark red sè and pottery yellow sè, and under these clay pot fragments, you can see that there are many seemingly complete ghost head jars, which look like there are several layers under the water.

We don't know how many layers of this stuff are buried underneath the shards, but it's creepy enough. Afraid of stepping on the ghost head can, we didn't dare to rush forward again, so we stopped to find a way.

The fat man was not interested in these rags, and the guys of the third uncle did not dare to touch them, and they all drank soju to ward off the cold. The black blind man was very interested, and dived down again and again to take a closer look at these ghost head jars, and the fat man said impatiently: "Four eyes, do you see less dead people?" What the hell are you fishing for? ”

After looking around, the area is very large, and if you want to pass through, you have to either go back the way you came, find a way to get around the edge, or step on these sharp bones and pottery shards.

Just as I was hesitating, I saw Wen Jin looking at her feet, thoughtful, and asked her what she thought. She suddenly said, "Could it be that we have arrived?" ”

"Arrived? What do you mean? I wondered, and then I understood, "You mean, this is our destination?" ”

She nodded: "It seems that we have arrived at a place where sacrifices are piled up, this kind of place is generally a place for sacrifices, and we have walked a distance, do you think it is possible, this place is our destination?" ”

I looked at my feet and around, and felt unlikely, at least I couldn't accept it in my heart, what kind of place is this, there is nothing here but these ghost head jars, so what are we doing here? If you want to see these jars, I've been looking at them carefully in Devil's City.

Looking at the stuffy oil bottle, he still didn't speak, Wen Jin took out a glow stick, folded a few to make them light up, and threw them into the surrounding water to light up the surroundings. The others looked at it and began to learn how to play the glow sticks and threw them out, and soon the bottom of the water around them lit up with a faint green fluorescence.

We began to look for anything suspicious underwater, the surface of the water under the green light was ghostly, this time we looked very closely, but there was still nothing unusual we wanted to find, except for pottery shards that were pottery shards.

We were a little frustrated, and I looked at the bottom of the water and said that if this place was the destination, then the only possibility was that something was buried under these clay pots. But this should be impossible, there have been so many people here, if something is underneath, it must have been dug up. Obviously, this is not the end, and we have to continue our search.

The most hateful thing is that we don't know what our destination is like, and we can't remember anything.

I kicked a few kicks of water to dispel my cold and nervousness. At this moment, I suddenly saw my reflection distorted by the water waves into a strange shape, and then I saw my face overlapping my lower body, and suddenly realized something, and looked up at us directly above, and found that I don't know when, the top of our heads was much higher, and it looked pitch black.

I took the miner's lamp and shone it upwards, and the light shone into the darkness, and I couldn't see the top. The distance of the low light shè of this miner's lamp is nearly forty meters, and the roof of the cave here is even more than this distance. I adjusted the lighting intensity of the miner's lamp to a strong light level, and a pillar of incandescent light came out of the miner's lamp.

Everyone around me was distracted by the sudden turn on of the miner's lamp, which I ignored and shone the lamp to the roof of the cave, shining above our heads.

I was stunned for a moment. I saw a large, unspeakable object in the rock of the cave above our heads.

The object was huge, jutting out of the roof of the cave in a spherical shape, and its diameter could not be estimated at all, covering almost our entire view. Looking at the geology, it seems that it is also rocky, but the surrounding area and the roof of the cave are completely different. The strange thing is that the surface of this stone is full of holes the size of asphalt barrels, thousands of them, densely packed, and it looks extremely ugly, like a lotus root that has been suspended in the air.

The others also looked up at the sky according to my light, and suddenly no one spoke, everyone froze, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

"What's that?" The fat man muttered.

Wen Jin muttered, "God, this ...... This is a celestial stone. ”
