Chapter 17: Hair
The thief hole is not far from the ship, I saw a big pit blown out of the bottom of the sea, the hole is at the bottom of the pit, the heart said that it is really the third uncle's means, we searched around the thief hole first, there is no sign of collapse, it seems that the third uncle's technology has not regressed.
I also saw a few stone anchors, the same as the third uncle's description, but I can't be sure that they are the ones the third uncle said.
The traces of the underground palace planned by the third uncle are still there, and Zhang Bald and I have memorized it carefully, looking at the location of this robbery hole, it should be dug down to the ear room, and the bricks in that place should be relatively thin.
We searched for about 5 minutes, and there seemed to be no need to look any further, and the fat man waved his hand at me, asking if I wanted to go in now. Aning looked at his diver's watch and nodded.
Our current equipment is not as light as 20 years ago, we finally checked the equipment and the agreed code words at the entrance of the cave, and made sure that everything was fine, the fat man settled down, the first cat went in, and a few of us turned on the searchlight to follow, and dived in five or six meters at once.
This robbery hole is very irregular, when it is wide and sometimes narrow, I look at the wall of the cave while swimming, the more I look at it, the more strange it becomes, how it looks like it is not dug by people, if it is a hole made by the third uncle, he must be a shovel and a shovel is very neat, but now the traces on it are chaotic, and the pit is dug and dug, it looks like a hole made by an animal.
We swam more than 20 meters with difficulty, and the light coming in from the cave was no longer illuminated, and at this time the direction of the cave suddenly changed, and it was dug vertically, I couldn't help but be a little strange. Since the grave hasn't been dug up yet, why change directions?
Unable to speak, and unable to express my doubts, we rested in the vertical hole. The fat man made a careful gesture to us, and then he swam down first, and I watched his light go on and on until it became a small dot, and I couldn't help but say why my heart was so deep.
At this time, he shook the searchlight underneath to indicate that it was safe underneath. We immediately dived one after another, I looked at the diving watch, it was already more than ten meters deep, I had never dived to such a depth, I don't know if my body can hold it.
A large space has been dug up below, and we immediately saw the tomb wall of the ancient tomb, and there was a big hole broken in it, and I was even more puzzled when I saw it, this hole was so irregularly broken, not like the ordinary inverted bucket one by one carefully unloaded, and a few bricks were even cracked. The fat man looked at me, and I looked at him, and the two of them spit out a few bubbles together, and he pointed to the broken bricks, and made a monkey look, and I knew that he was trying to say: this hole may have been dug by sea monkeys, not a thief.
I nodded in agreement and pointed to the underwater * on his back, which he took off, pulled the safety open, and swam into the hole.
This is the second time I have entered the ancient tomb, although I am a little excited, but when I think of the last experience, I still feel uncomfortable, especially underwater, the resistance of my hands and feet is very great, if I encounter danger, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape as quickly as on land.
The tomb is much bigger than I thought, I turned up the brightness of the searchlight, turned the waterproof flashlight in my hand, followed behind the fat man's buttocks, we had a few lights very bright, and they shone out far away, and suddenly the whole curtain road lit up. I saw that on the wall of the tomb wall, there was indeed a relief of the human face mentioned by the third uncle, not only that, but the foreheads of these faces were also carved with some strange animals, which were very exquisitely carved. I looked at it as I swam, and the more I looked, the more strange it became, most of these animals were tomb beasts, but they didn't have carved eyes, and they looked a little weird.
At this time, I suddenly saw a human face on the forehead, carved like three snake eyebrows copper fish, I couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly pulled the fat man to stop, and then went to study the relief.
The fat man was in a hurry to go inside, very impatient, and I didn't know what I found, he turned around and looked at it a few times, didn't see anything famous, so he beckoned in a hurry, I asked him to wait, leaned over and looked carefully, only to see that there were three snake eyebrow copper fish connected head and tail, forming a ring, each shape is different, I can see that two of them are in my bag, and there is a three-eyed one, I have never seen it, I don't know what this is a hint of. Underneath the fish, the face was different from the others, it was a face with obvious feminine features, but because of the many things attached to it, this face looked a little broken. It's not very comfortable.
I also want to study it carefully, at this time Ah Ning also urged me, I had no choice, so I had to continue to swim forward, fortunately, the carving appeared every other distance, I can still look at it a few more times, look at it, and I didn't find anything more, but I vaguely felt that something was wrong.
I remember the face on the first stone slab, the eyes were closed, the second stone slab seemed to be a little open, and by the third and fourth stone slabs, the eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and now the fifth was almost fully open.
I felt a little bad, grabbed the fat man, told him not to go forward, and then took out the underwater sketchpad and wrote on it: "The face of the person on the tomb wall, the eyes are gradually opening, I am afraid that there is a problem!" He gestured to the wall.
The fat man touched his face, shook his head, and wrote: "I didn't pay attention, it's just some stone reliefs, and there must be a whole stone inside, you think too much." ”
I shook my head resolutely and asked him to pick up the gun, and he saw that my expression was serious, so I had to do it, and in a short time I saw the same relief appear in front of me, and the fat man was a little frightened by what I said, so he stopped, and shone the light first. The eyes of the stone face were completely open, the whole face was facing forward, the eyes were square, and it looked a little sluggish, and the fat man took a picture of it, and there was no change, so he mustered up the courage to walk over, touched it, and then made a gesture to me that was okay.
I swam over to take a look, sure enough, it was still a whole stone, nothing special, I stuck my finger in its two eyes, there was no response, I couldn't help but shake my head self-deprecatingly, it seems that this is just a gimmick played by the designer of the tomb, to scare the robbers who may come in, or some special meaning, I actually scared myself here once, it is really shameless. The fat man patted me and motioned for me not to think so much and to hurry up.
We continued to swim forward, and I remembered that the third uncle had told me that he had hit a mechanism before he was sucked into that spring, but these tomb walls were all the same, how could he find the one he hit at that time?
My brain is spinning fast, so it's not a way to swim forward, I don't know where this tomb road leads to, maybe it's a cycle again, if you get lost in it, it's over, I think in my heart, the third uncle can see the last person at a glance, it should be a very long corridor, just now we turned several corners, there are only two such corridors, so speaking, it's not very difficult to find it, just to take some time.
At this time, the fat man in front stopped, I couldn't brake, hit his buttocks, thought something was going on in front of me, hurriedly jumped on my nerves, and went up to take a look, it turned out that the tomb road was at the end, and a stone slab was blocked in front of me.
This stone slab was bare, there was no text or relief on it, I touched it for a long time, I couldn't find any mechanism, I couldn't help scratching my head, and A-Ning wrote and asked me: "How can it be a dead end?" ”
I replied, "There are stone traps around here, let's look for them and see if there are any loose tomb walls." ”
They all nodded, and the fat man began to knock east and west, carefully examining the human reliefs. I recalled in my heart all the clues mentioned in the notes, and even every slit in the side was slashed with a dagger, but there was no progress, and the slate was still there, not moving.
I couldn't help but be a little depressed, looking back to see how the fat man was doing, and found that the fat man was in a daze there, I patted him and asked him, "Did you find anything?" ”
He looked at me with a strange expression and asked me, "Do sea monkeys have long hair?" ”
I don't know what he meant by suddenly asking this, I couldn't help but laugh, I really didn't pay attention to whether the sea monkey had long hair, and the memory seemed to be that the whole head was bare and full of scales.
I told him the truth, and asked him what he was doing, and he pointed to the crack in the wall, and I followed his finger, and immediately saw that there was a strand of black hair floating out of the gap between the stone slab and the tomb.
I was stunned, how is this possible, is it on the other side of the stone slab, leaning on a person?
The fat man was so bold that he wanted to reach over and pull it, but he didn't expect the hair to suddenly shrink and be retracted back into the gap. The fat man looked at me and wrote, "There are ghosts behind the slates. ”
