Chapter Ninety-Seven: Seeing the Light of Day Again
The mark seemed to be very interested in the piece of iron, and wiped the rust on it with his hand, revealing some strange lines, which the mark should have recognized, and turned back to us and said: "There is a name written on it, it is the font of the Han Dynasty, if I am not mistaken, this is the soldier's identity card."

In ancient times, there were often wars between countries, and in each war, the soldiers who died the most were those who died like mustard. In a large-scale battle, the number of soldiers killed was tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
Since ancient times, there has been a custom in our country of returning to the roots and souls returning to their hometowns, and from a rational point of view, this custom is out of respect for the dead. From a superstitious point of view, if the body cannot be buried in the hometown, it is the most unlucky thing, not only the ghost of the deceased is difficult to reincarnate, but also his descendants will be affected.
But after a war, the corpses were piled up, and it was not realistic to send those dead soldiers back for burial one by one, not to mention that some of the corpses were so badly destroyed that they were unrecognizable.
Under such circumstances, some people came up with the idea of wearing identity tags for the soldiers, and as long as the identity tags were still there, the identity of the corpse could be determined, so as to send his clothes and other items back to his home and set up a mound of clothes, which is the origin of the identity tag.
Now that a large number of human bones have been found here, and they are wearing the identity cards of soldiers during the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to guess that this should be the group of people sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to destroy the tomb of King Dian of Dian Dynasty.
Others also thought of this question, and Sankla said: "At the beginning, Zhang Jia sent a large group of people into the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain to destroy the tomb, but in the end, only a few Tianchengzi Taoist priests came out alive. I originally thought that they had encountered a mechanism in the ancient tomb, or were persecuted by Gu worms, which almost led to the annihilation of the whole army, but now it seems that those who did not come out alive were slaughtered by these fierce mermaids, otherwise there would not be so many bones here. โ
Look at the hideous merman bones all over the ground. The third uncle said in a deep voice: "It seems that these mermaids have extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they are much more terrifying than the rumors. โ
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, but what struck me was the ability to kill thousands of soldiers with weapons in hand. Then the number of mermaids in this tomb will never be less than five hundred, this number is too terrifying.
You must know that in the Han Dynasty, the number of sharks in the South China Sea was close to extinction, not to mention ordinary princes and nobles. Even if it is a son of heaven, it is impossible to get so many South China Sea sharks at once.
The king of Dian was a local prince at best, and the area he managed was not only barren, but also underdeveloped, so how did he get so many sharks from the South China Sea?
As soon as I raised this question, Wu Jian said: "As long as it is a living thing, it can be cultivated, that is, breeding." With so many shark people in the South China Sea, I am afraid that the king of Dian spent a lot of time cultivating, perhaps at the beginning of the establishment of the ancient Dian Kingdom. The mermaid breeding program began. โ
When Wu Jian said this, we were relieved again, he was right, after most people got the merman, they killed it and refined the 10,000-year-old lamp oil, so that the number of mermen became smaller and smaller. But if the sharks are cultivated and reproduced, over time, there will naturally be more and more, which is the same as the current animal protection association's method of cultivating those precious wild animals.
As we discuss. The head of the plate had already led a group of people to the copper fence, and after a while, we heard the sound of the cutting machine working. After about five minutes, the sound of the cutter stopped. We walked over and saw that one of the copper pillars on the copper fence had been sawn off, and the gap in the middle was completely suitable for one person to pass through.
Seeing the third uncle coming, Ban Cuntou said happily: "Third brother, the end of the passage must be at the bottom of Dianchi Lake, and it must be the water flowing back at that time." It's menacing, and you can't do it without diving preparation. โ
After Ban Cuntou finished speaking, he commanded a few times to the two subordinates behind him, and the latter immediately took off the burden on his body and opened it to see that it was full of diving equipment. Ban Cuntou glanced at a few of us angrily, and said angrily: "The diving equipment brought this time is more sufficient, so it will be cheaper for you people." โ
After we put on our diving gear, we walked through the copper fence under the leadership of the board inch. Behind the copper fence is a passage that gently extends upwards, and due to the slope and the rapid flow of water, it is easy for us to slip on the soles of our feet, so the progress is very slow.
The further we went, the deeper the water became, and after about ten minutes of walking, the water was so deep that we had to put on a diving shield and use an oxygen tank to breathe.
Sure enough, after another five minutes of walking, we were completely overwhelmed by the current, but the current was not so urgent, but slowly rushed towards us. Unable to walk in the water now, we had to dive in the water without encountering any incidents, and before long a halo appeared in front of us.
At this time, everyone was excited, because we all knew that the water in Dianchi Lake was not very deep, and the halo in front of it could only be produced by the sunlight shining on the bottom of the water, that is, the front was where the exit was.
After spending several days in the underground tombs, and now that the exit was in sight, everyone sped up their diving speed, eager to see the sunlight outside.
The further we swim, the greater the impulse of the water due to the backflow of the water, and when we reach the location of the halo, we can hardly control ourselves in the water.
If that were the case, it would have taken us a lot of time and effort to reach the location of the halo. When I looked up, yes, there was indeed a water inlet, about the size of a water tank, and it was no problem for people to go out.
As we stabilized, we began to approach the outlet, and the further we went, the greater the pressure of the water, and as a last resort, we made a gesture and ordered a pien to be hammered into the wall of the outlet, in order to stabilize our body.
The inlet was about four meters from us, and with the pitons holding us down, we were able to drill out in a matter of seconds, and the pressure of the water on our bodies was reduced a lot, and there was more buoyancy pushing us upwards.
We swam a few times with the buoyancy of the water, and soon surfaced to see the sun outside that we hadn't seen for a long time. Judging from the position of the sun, it is now around two o'clock in the afternoon, and when we see the outside world again, we all have a feeling of being in a different world, and we can't wait to remove the shield on our faces and take a few deep breaths of air.
