Chapter Forty-Eight: I see
Leaving the corpse, the three of us continued to swim as we had in front, for fear that the people above would drop the bomb again, and we all swam next to the bottom of the water, all the way to the depths. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The bottom of the pond is full of pebbles of all sizes, mixed with some tenacious aquatic plants, our arrival alarmed the fish in the aquatic plants, they rushed out of it at once, and then fled in panic.
The waterhole was not very large, and we swam for less than ten minutes before we reached the deepest part below, where we searched and found a gate made of stone, standing among the rubble at the bottom of the pool.
The door was open, and water poured out of it, and the impact was still very strong, and it was for this reason that we had to waste a lot of money before we swam to the stone gate. The stone gate is more than two meters wide and three meters high, and is made of large pieces of white marble, guarded by two basalt stone sculptures next to it.
Inside the stone gate is a slowly downward passage, very deep, the flashlight shines in, there is no end in sight, it should lead to the tomb of the king of Dian.
Li Yishan observed outside the stone gate, felt that there would be no danger inside, waved his hand, and we rushed in.
As soon as I swam into the stone gate, I felt that the temperature of the water inside was several degrees lower, although I was wearing a rubber jacket outside, I could still feel a trace of coolness penetrating in, it seemed that the water gushing out of the stone gate was groundwater, but I was afraid that this passage was very deep.
The four walls of the passage are made of rough bluestone, that is, the stone that has not been polished, and on the stone walls on the left and right sides, there are copper lamps the size of palms, and there will be one at a distance of less than one meter, which extends to the inside of the passage.
The bronze lamp on the stone wall is just enough to be grasped by hand and used as a fixture so that we don't get swept away by the current, but because of this, we move very slowly. Especially Li Cange, he only has one hand to borrow, so he has to rest for a while after he walks for a while, and I am really worried that he will not be able to hold on and will be washed out by the current.
The passage was very straight, there was no bend in the corner, and after about fifteen minutes of swimming, we saw the end. At the end of it was a stone staircase that stretched upward, and the water was rushing down from it.
The stone staircase was not very long, and it only took us a few minutes before we swam out, only to find that there was still a huge passage above. There was still water rushing out of the passage, but the water inside was not filled, only a little more than a meter deep, and we only had to point our toes to expose our heads.
Li Yishan gestured to us a few times, meaning that we should take off the hood, maybe he felt that there was a lot of space here, and there was enough oxygen for us to breathe. In fact, there is not much oxygen in the oxygen cylinder, and we still have to go out from here, and we will still need oxygen at that time, so we can save it.
When I opened my hood, a puff of moist air came to my nose, and I took a breath, which was quite pleasant, and I couldn't help but take a few more breaths. I looked at the environment here and asked Li Yishan: "This passage through the water is really long enough, it looks like a drainage channel in the mausoleum, but it doesn't feel like it, because the channel doesn't need to close the top, it's more like an outlet pipe." ”
Li Yishan thought for a moment and said: "This is definitely not a channel, if what Sun Dabiao said is right, this channel should be circular, it is the qi path connecting the nine peaks outside, and its function is to make the earth qi in the nine peaks achieve the effect of ninety-nine to one, so that the feng shui pattern here will change, and it will become a real place for the Nine Dragons to carry the coffin." ”
The standard said that if you want the earth qi in the nine peaks to merge with each other and achieve the feng shui pattern of nine dragons being one, then you must dig a channel between the nine peaks to connect the earth qi between the peaks, and fill it with water, because water can carry gas.
The passage was indeed long and filled with water, which was exactly in line with the speculation of the mark, but the only thing I didn't understand was that the nine peaks were not in a straight line, but on a circular line, and if we were to dig a passage to connect the earth, the passage we were on should also be circular. But in fact, this passage is very straight, not circular, how can this be explained?
Li Yishan stretched out his hand to wipe the water droplets from his eyes, and smiled at me: "This passage must be circular, but this circle is so big that you can't feel its arc, I have seen this kind of visually confusing building abroad before, it is really amazing." ”
I was taken aback, and then I understood the truth, he was right, if there is really a passage connecting the nine peaks, then this passage is indeed very large, it is estimated that it will not be smaller than a national sports square, which is really unimaginable.
But I have another question, that is, where does the water come from, I thought it was groundwater, but now it seems that it is not, could it be that the water here seeps out from the inside of the nine peaks?
Li Yishan felt that this was very possible, but he did not rule out another possibility, and he said to me: "If it is not the water inside the mountain, then there is only one possibility." He said in a shocked tone: "This possibility is that the king of Dian led the water from the Dianchi Lake into this circular passage. ”
Of course, I was taken aback again, because this passage is not ordinarily long, and as a small Dian king, it is not a small project, and the process is estimated to be much more arduous than Qin Shi Huang's construction of the Lishan Tomb.
Li Cangge held back for a long time, and he couldn't help it, and said to us suspiciously: "If we are in this circular passage, then how can we go to the tomb of King Dian?" Or is there another fork in this circular passage that leads to the tomb of King Dian? ”
Li Yishan smiled knowingly, nodded and said: "It should be like this, so we have to pay attention on the way, maybe the fork in the road to the tomb of King Dian is in the direction above our heads, but don't miss it." ”
I laughed along and said, "We can only breathe on the surface if we hold our heads up, and we can't even look at the top of the wall of the passage, so you can rest assured." ”
Maybe it's because I've been holding the oxygen tank for too long, we talked endlessly along the way, the atmosphere is very active, and the mood is also very relaxed, I feel that this trip is not to visit the tomb, but to visit. Especially Li Zhenge, he has never seen an ancient tomb, and there are always many questions along the way, and Li Yishan has become a ready-made archaeological expert to answer some doubts for him.
Walking and stopping along the way, after walking for about half an hour, Li Yishan in front didn't know what he found, and issued a "Huh?" "A bang. Without waiting for us to ask him what was going on, the guy took a deep breath and dived into the water all at once.
In less than ten seconds, Li Yishan surfaced, and then a lying corpse was brought up by him, he shook his wet hair, and said to us in surprise: "There are corpses under my feet, there must have been a big battle here." ”
It was the corpse of a foreigner, he was like us, he had no hood, his golden hair was constantly wafting in the water, and his pale face could be faintly seen, but it was already very puffy.
I don't know why, but when I saw the corpse's swollen face, I had a strange feeling in my heart, but I couldn't tell where this weirdness came from for a while.
Li Yishan was used to seeing this kind of scene, so he didn't panic at all, so in front of us, he cut all the rubber clothes on the corpse with a dagger, and began to examine them carefully. On the other hand, Li Cangge on the side, it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, so he was more afraid, and he only glanced at the corpse, and then looked away.
After looking at it for a while, Li Yishan let go of the corpse and let him sink into the water, then turned his head to me and said solemnly: "This foreigner was shot to death like the corpse under the pool, which is very strange." ”
I suddenly remembered that when I found the foreigner's body in the waterhole, Li Yishan also looked more puzzled, as if he had something to say to us, but because the conditions did not allow it, he couldn't express the doubts in his heart.
Then I forgot about it, and I didn't ask him the reason for it, but now he brought it up again, and told me such a strange reason, which I couldn't understand at once.
I said to him strangely, "Don't you think your words are contradictory? These foreigners are not invulnerable, they will naturally die after being shot, and if they are not dead after being shot, then it is called strange. ”
Li Yishan smiled apologetically at me and explained, "You're right, my words are sick. Actually, what I'm thinking is that the corpses are starting to swell, indicating that they have been dead for a long time, at least two days ago. But two days ago, we hadn't gone down into the abyss, so who shot these people? It can't be due to killing each other, right? ”
It dawned on me that I could understand why I had a strange feeling when I saw the corpse's swollen face before, and it was all because of this. I was a little surprised and said, "You mean, in addition to the third uncle's people, there are also a group of people who have come here?" Who will this group be? ”
I thought about it for a while, and an answer quickly came to mind, and I exclaimed: "This group of people will not be others, but only the third uncle's old rival, the people from the Mazi family." Only the people of the Mazi family will always chase after the third uncle, and only the people on the Mazi side will want to get rid of me. ”
The doubts in my heart were solved, and I was much happier, and at the same time scolded indignantly: "His second uncle, I almost blamed the third uncle, fortunately we realized early, otherwise the misunderstanding would have been deep." (To be continued.) )
