Chapter 38: The Ancient Well in the Palace03
I took a deep breath, Jiang Yuan was the first to go into the water for safety, although he was sure that there would be no accidents in this well, but he was still very cautious and would throw something underwater with every step, which was said to be a voiceprint detector.

The things this kid carries with him this time are more high-tech, and I, as a Tufuzi equipment of the last century, naturally don't want to talk about it.
The water here is strange, cold with a smell that is not smelled by the nose, but felt by the skin.
The protruding bricks on the wall of the well are covered with a layer of slippery moss because of the relationship between the perennial in the water, and I am unstable, and the whole person loses the center of gravity, although it is said that the water will not be killed by the fall, but this fright makes me hold my breath and spit out, I have a bad heart, so that I will not be able to reach the space that Zhang Shiyang said safely according to the previous plan.
The water in the well got cooler the further down I went, and because I lost my center of gravity, I struggled and never found the fulcrum, so I simply turned 360 degrees and headed downstream.
I swam past Jiang Yuan towards the bottom of the well, but at this moment, I felt something grab my ankle, I thought it was Jiang Yuan, but I instantly felt that something was wrong, because this "hand" that grabbed me seemed to have only one finger, and it was quite long.
I turned the flashlight sideways to shine on my feet, but I don't know why, as long as my body rises up, I feel tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, as if I was grabbed by something and clicked on the acupuncture point.
I didn't dare to delay any longer, thinking that Zhang Shiyang said before that there was a seventeen-meter passage thirteen meters below the well, if my luck was good, I shouldn't be lost.
It didn't matter what was holding my ankle, I rushed forward vigorously, and as time passed, my hand finally touched the end, and with a turn of feeling, I could feel a horizontal passage.
I held my breath and formed a series of cheongsams in the water, my flashlight suddenly flashed a few strikes, I suddenly felt a trace of despair in my heart, grandma's, what to do when I think I am unlucky, water seems to be my nemesis.
Calling the "hand" that grabbed me seemed to be very persistent, but I didn't care about it, I thought it was Jiang Yuan who was afraid that something would happen to me, so he used some kind of rope to entangle me, but now I can be sure that this thing is definitely not a rope, but I don't want to know what it is, because I don't have time.
I don't know how I managed to get ashore, but the moment I felt like I was still alive, I was already lying in a strange place, and what surprised me even more was that there were torches and fire.
"Has anyone been here?" I sat on the ground and muttered to myself.
A few minutes later, Zhang Shiyang and Jiang Yuan also surfaced, and when the two of them saw the scene in front of them, their faces were no less surprised than mine, if not more.
"Is there anyone in this place?" Jiang Yuan was also confused, and there was a hint of unconfidence in his tone.
Zhang Shiyang walked to a fire frame without a sound, I saw him slowly stretch his hand above the flame, I was trying to stop it, but I saw his hand in the flame, but he had no expression at all, as if he didn't know the pain.
"Don't you feel it?" I asked.
"It's not that I don't feel it, uncle, it's that this flame has no temperature."
When Jiang Yuan heard this, a trace of excitement immediately appeared on his face, "Chang Minghuo." ”
I immediately said, "Ever-bright lantern? ”
Zhang Shiyang took his hand out of the flame, and I saw that there was no trace of burns on his hand, so I also stretched out my hand to the fire, but I was also surprised to find that the flame really had no temperature.
Jiang Yuan took down the flame, really directly with his hand, and the flame was beating on the palm of his hand.
"Good boy, is this really an everlasting light?" I say.
Jiang Yuan nodded, as if he acquiesced to this statement, "The legend that Chang Minghuo is not afraid of temperature, it seems to be true. ”
Zhang Shiyang came to my side, wanted to say something, glanced at Jiang Yuan again, then pulled me aside, and whispered: "Uncle, shouldn't the ever-bright lamp or something ever-bright fire appear in the pyramid?" Why is there one here? ”
I said, "There are tombs all over the world, pyramids are there, and we have them here." ”
Zhang Shiyang didn't seem to understand very well, "But the everlasting light, I mean that the everlasting flame can't appear on our side." ”
Jiang Yuan's ears were comparable to the ears of the wind, he walked over, and said as he walked: "He is right, it is indeed impossible for Changminghuo to appear in our country, because the geographical location does not allow it. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know, this scientific research project in the United States is only in the research stage, and it has not even been evidenced, but it is just some information and reasoning from some ancient books, but one thing I am sure of is that it is impossible for our country's geographical environment to have such a magical thing."
Zhang Shiyang nodded very affirmatively, as if he was affirming his statement, but Jiang Yuan and I still don't understand, why can't Changminghuo appear in our country, is there any difference between the geographical environment on our side and the other side of the ocean?
Zhang Shiyang looked at the two of us with a look of incomprehension, but he couldn't explain anything, but he embarrassed himself, but Jiang Yuan understood something, and he himself may not understand anything, but his expression told me that we would get an unexpected gain here.
"Let's go, let's come here and discover this place, maybe there is another meaning."
When Jiang Yuan spoke, a hint of a feeling that I couldn't understand suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it was nothing, there were always beige flames on the way forward, but the location of these flames was on the wall.
"Shiyang, didn't you say that this place is a semi-open space?" Something suddenly came to mind.
"By the way, there will be an ancient tomb here." Zhang Shiyang did not ask.
"Uncle, do you think there is an ancient tomb here, or is there something else here, I mean, will there be anything special here, think about it, the eternal fire, that is only possible in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh."
"Stop." I stopped him, "Didn't you grow up in the United States?" ”
Zhang Shiyang didn't understand what I meant for a while, and nodded stupidly, "Yes." ”
"Aren't you supposed to go to school in the United States?"
"yes,"
"Then how do you know so well about the Egyptian pyramids?"
Zhang Shiyang smiled, "I'm a double degree, and the other is archaeology." (To be continued.) )
