Although the fog has begun to gradually dissipate, the sight has not returned to its previous appearance, but at a distance of four or five meters from me, under the crimson water, I can see the black shadow very vaguely. The shadow underneath the water is clearly floating upward, as the water ripples around it ripple in both directions.

Strange to say, the sea water is still dark green, and the visibility is almost non-existent, but I don't know when it started, the color of the lake has unconsciously changed from dark green to crimson, and this change has happened in a very short period of time, and I even saw a process of changing the color of the lake just now. But what surprised me the most was that with the change in the color of the lake, the huge fog here began to slowly dissipate. I don't know if this situation is a good thing or a bad thing? But judging from the shadows underwater, what is about to float up from the water is certainly not a "good thing".

Similarly, with the change of crimson water, the visibility on the surface of the water has improved compared to before, but there are a lot of white "foam" floating on the surface of the water, and this white powder, I can tell at a glance that it is meat and bone residue, which makes me feel a deep fear of the lake. What's more, all of us were still "dragged" into the lake by the lake itself.

The shadow rose to the surface of the water, and then suddenly stopped. I paddled backwards on all fours, keeping myself as far away from the shadows under the water as possible, so as not to wait for something unexpected to happen. However, although the body can move freely, the density of the lake is really large, and the body strokes more laboriously than in ordinary water, and the movement is more slow. I'm trying to see what's going on under the water. But the more I tried to see it, the more I found that there were more and more pieces of meat and bones on the surface of the water, and I couldn't see the specific situation under the water.

Team Zhang in front of him turned around and reached out to make a silent gesture towards us, signaling that we should not move now. In fact, even if Team Zhang doesn't remind us, we don't dare to move at this time.

After about a minute or so, the black shadow slowly sank again, and above the crimson water, the area of the black shadow disappeared little by little, until it disappeared from our field of vision.

At this time, I whispered to Lin Xihui beside me, did you see what the shadow under the water just now was? Why is there such a big black shadow under the water in this strange lake? And judging by the way this black shadow moves, this thing should not be a "living thing".

Lin Xihui had a puzzled look in his eyes, and he explained to me in a low voice that what was underwater just now was probably a "sinking boat". The so-called sunken boat is a kind of water burial. In ancient times, when famous families chose water burial, some people would find skilled craftsmen to make "sunken boats". The shipwreck's is made of light wood, which is now almost extinct. The light of the immortal lantern can be scattered to the outside through the wood, so that the surrounding underwater animals dare not easily approach the ship tomb, and play a role in escorting the ship tomb. The immortal lamp in the sunken boat can burn for hundreds of thousands of years, and in the confined space of the sunken boat, the oxygen will run out sooner or later, so the secret of the immortal lamp is still a mystery.

In addition to its own special structure, there is also an important reason why the sunken boat can rise or sink, that is, the hull and inside of the sunken boat will also carry a large number of living and dead people. Under normal circumstances, the body will be placed in the shipwreck, and the hull will be tied to the living person, at that time, people believed that the shipwreck to serve the ship's tomb, there must be a living person to lead the way, which can be regarded as the "pioneer" of the Huangquan guide. After the sinking boat is launched, when it reaches the designated place, the ship tomb sinks, and then the living person is tied to the periphery of the shipwreck, under the gravity of the main ship tomb falling, the sunken boat will also move downward, and the person who is tied to the boat will soon drown. As the body tied to the sunken boat continues to decompose, the mass of the sunken boat continues to change, and it can also float up and down greatly within the scope of the connecting rope. After all the corpses are decomposed, the shipwreck will always float in a small position under the tutelage of the ship's grave.

Then Lin Xihui changed her words, the expression on her face became nervous again, and she continued to tell me that in addition to being used in tombs, the sinking boat also has an important aspect, that is, it is used for sacrifices. During the sacrifice, the living person is also tied to the sinking boat, and then the sinking boat is pushed into the water, and the living person is drowned directly in the water. The shipwreck was used for worship to the gods. It's just that this kind of shipwreck can't be compared with the ship's grave in terms of scale and sophistication. The sacrificial sinking boat has no traction from the ship tomb, and the workmanship is not very exquisite, so after all the corpses of the sinking boat are decomposed, the sinking boat can only sink to the bottom of the water, and basically has no floating ability, which is also a relatively simple kind of sinking boat. Combined with the large amount of minced meat and bone residue floating on the surface of the water at the moment, Lin Xihui felt that the shadow under the water just now was a ship graveyard nine times out of ten. The minced meat and bone residue were all caused by the sinking boat.

I listened very carefully, Lin Xihui said that the living people on the sinking boat were corroded, but from my biological point of view, the minced meat and bone residue at the moment were definitely not formed by corrosion.

Before we know it, the surface of the water has completely lost its absolute "buoyancy", and we can only keep our bodies above the water by constantly treading water. Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest, I'm soon a little tired and out of breath, and the other people are no better than me, and we have to find a land now, otherwise we'll be soaking in this lake all the time, and it's only a matter of time before I die.

The bald head asked Lin Xihui questioningly at this time, "Lin Nuxia, since the sinking boat is made of lighter quality wood, so we can use special production techniques to make the sinking boat sink and float." However, you should have seen it just now, and what is under the water directly obscures the situation underwater. And it's not like you just said, the sinking boat is just moving up and down, and I can clearly see that thing is just "swimming"! There must be a "big thing" underwater here. ”

Lin Xihui glanced at the bald head, and asked the bald head not to talk more at this time, save a little physical strength, and we can get out of this lake.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a splash behind me, not good, as if something was coming up from under the water behind me!!
