Chapter 20: Monsters
In the depths of the cave, there is a large flat area, and the ground is covered with white marble bricks, on which there are no carvings, so it is difficult to determine the age of this ruin.
Old Man Hai and the others didn't pay attention to the furnishings on the ground, and everyone present, including Lafayette.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to a large building on the vast platform, and no matter who it was, they were staring at each other, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
A huge palace made of white marble stands quietly not far away, and the scale is terrifying.
The main body of the giant building is white marble, and the top is a number of crimson tiles, which are too far away for anyone to distinguish the material of.
The palace is a two-story structure, the four corners at the top have the statues of strange beasts, the overall size is only smaller than the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, but it looks much more majestic than the Taihe Hall in the capital, although it is not more delicate and gorgeous than the Taihe Palace, but it also has a unique flavor.
Hai Yuanning took the lamp in his hand and shone it there, and everyone couldn't help blinking, only to find that the palace was still reflective.
Below the palace, there are eighteen steps, and above the steps is the gate of the palace.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one went over first, but turned their heads one after another to look around.
None of the people here are stupid, this place looks so imposing and so large, isn't there anything special protecting it?
The Hai family has been buried in many tombs for several generations, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as well-informed.
Wrongs, corpses, these strange things they have seen a lot.
After half a ring, seeing that there was still no special movement around, Lafayette took the lead, and the group slowly swam straight towards the gate of the palace.
The road was safe and there was no change, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
When they reached the bottom of the steps of the palace, everyone looked up and couldn't help but feel curious.
At the top of the palace, a huge plaque is very eye-catching, with four large characters simply engraved on it.
Tianyun Water Palace.
"Tianyun Water Palace?" I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, I don't feel like I'm burying people when I hear this name, besides, who will bury people in the ground?
Seeing the puzzled look on my face, Old Man Hai smiled and shook his head: "This place is not for burying people. ”
"Then it's for" Before I could finish asking, Mr. Hai interrupted me.
When he answered my question, there was confusion on his face, and there was uncertainty in his tone: "Lafayette told me afterwards that it was not used to bury people, nor was it a relic left by ancient sacrificial gods, it seemed to be a research base." ”
"Research base?!" Uncle and I were confused all of a sudden.
Hai Dongqing seemed to know the inside story of the Dao before he came, so he behaved calmly.
"That's right, Research Base." Old Man Hai nodded: "This is just a metaphor, the modern research base, there are research on electronic equipment, there are also research on drugs, there are a bit similar to the current production bases for research drugs, but we are researching medicine, and what it is researching is the so-called immortality." ”
As soon as the words fell, Old Man Hai continued to tell us the story.
At that time, everyone stood outside the gate of the palace and hesitated for a long time, looking at the closed palace gates, no one dared to take one more step forward.
The most frightening thing is not the danger, but the danger hidden in the shadows.
If one is accidentally planted here, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place to cry when I turn around.
Just as everyone was hesitating, Lafayette suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the upper right side of the gate, where there was a slightly protruding piece of white marble, which seemed to have some incave marks.
Among this group of people, the one with the best vision is the old man Shuhai, I saw him look there, and he was stunned for a moment, this is not frightened, but I don't understand what it means at all.
"Immortal Dao noble life, immeasurable people, green lights return to the sun, and heaven gives eternal life." Old Man Hai read to us the handwriting he saw back then, and the fat uncle choked on the smoke violently and couldn't help coughing.
I was silent and didn't speak, and my mind was in a mess.
This place has something to do with the secret lands?!!!
Is immortality really?
"The Qing Dynasty secret land in Fengtian Mansion, the Japanese military base in Huaiqing Mansion, and the Dengxian Chitai in Taishan Zuoci, there are already three places we have been to, why is it so coincidental?!" I pondered in my heart with an ugly face, I don't know what the road is for, I always have a feeling of being in a quagmire.
Everything seems to be related to each other, but everything is inseparable from the word trouble.
"Wood, what's wrong with you?" Hai Dongqing saw that my face was wrong, and asked worriedly.
I shook my head and said, nothing.
"Old man Hai, you go on." After I said this, I fell silent again, quietly listening to the story.
When they saw those lines, they were also stunned for a while, and suddenly saw that Lafayette was gesturing to them, meaning to let them follow and push the door, and everyone didn't think much about it, and they began to push the door of white marble casting together.
The white marble gate is about three meters high, it is a structure with two double openings, and the width of the two doors together is four or five meters.
First, it is difficult for people to exert themselves underwater, which is the most important point.
Second, such a huge white marble gate, it is estimated that there are thousands of catties, and it is difficult to push open this door under the water.
They tried hard to push the giant gate for a long time, but there was still no progress.
The door that should have been moved did not move, but the palm that should not have been moved trembled involuntarily because of excessive force.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Hai Yuanning swam to the side of the steps and glanced down, ready to take a look at this ancient wonder, but it was okay if he didn't look at it, and he almost didn't faint when he saw it.
Let me be more precise in describing it to you.
The location of the Tianyun Water Palace is a high platform in the middle of a huge cave, with eighteen steps on the side, and a wide area similar to a square below.
At the end of this wide area is the stone wall of this huge cavern, which may not be suitable for some people to go sightseeing, because it is a hell for the dense phobia.
The stone walls of the giant cave are full of pits, extending up to one-third of the ceiling, these holes are deep and shallow, some can see the bottom at a glance, but half a meter deep, and some are like the cave where Hai Yuanning and his party came, and the bottom is not visible.
When Hai Yuanning glanced over, he happened to see something climbing outside the cave entrance.
No, it's supposed to be a monster!
"Those things are not something that people can deal with, if it weren't for their appearance, the second child would not have died in the Tianyun Water Palace" Old Man Hai's tone suddenly became bitter, and his body was trembling violently, as if he was barely controlling his emotions, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Hai Dongqing hurriedly stood up and walked behind the old man, and gently patted him on the back: "Grandpa, don't be sad, second grandpa, them"
When he said these words, Hai Dongqing's face also had inexplicable sadness, and his eyes couldn't help but dim a little.
"Old man, don't be sad, otherwise we won't talk about it today, don't mention the past, and mentioning it will only make you sad." The fat uncle and I also comforted the old man with Hai Dongqing, and when I saw this old man who was about the same age as my old man, I felt a little uncomfortable.
After a while, Old Man Hai's mood slowly recovered, and he didn't care about our words, he buried his head slightly, and muttered to himself, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
There were a total of eight monsters that climbed out of the cave, Hai Yuanning counted them very clearly, and when he was frightened, he turned his head and swam in the direction of the others without saying a word, and then pulled the others to the edge of the palace by force, pointing at the monsters that were swimming towards where they were, his eyes were full of horror.
When Lafayette saw those monsters, his pupils constricted involuntarily.
"Those monsters are about thirty meters away from us, and they swim very fast, so fast that they don't give us a chance to react." Old Man Hai said dryly: "Their appearance is so strange, I have never heard of such a thing"
