Chapter 439: There is no cave

The stone temple of the river god is not big, and it is very simple, it is four huge stone pillars that are boxy, if it is not engraved with the three big characters of "river temple" on it, it will make people think that this is just a stone pavilion.

In the river temple, there is a stone statue of an old man, the stone statue is the size of an ordinary person, dressed in ancient clothes, wearing a robe, full of kind eyebrows, thinking that this stone statue should be the river god Hebo.

In front of the stone statue of the river god, there is a stone offering platform, on which there is an incense burner made of stone, and He Lao Qi said before that his key to open the stone door was taken on this altar.

We didn't have time to take a closer look at the river temple because we didn't have diving equipment, we didn't have oxygen tanks, and we were all suffocating. At this time, He Laoqi patted us, and then pointed behind us.

Looking in the direction of the river old seven fingers, I saw that on the side of the river temple, that is, on the cliff wall of the river cliff, there was indeed a stone gate.

The stone wall was very flat, with no sharp protrusions, as if it had been flattened. The flat stone wall has long been covered with aquatic plants and moss, floating in the water, if it wasn't for He Laoqi taking the initiative to point it out to us, who would have known that there would be a stone gate on that stone wall?

The stone gate is also full of moss and water plants, and in front of the stone gate, there are two stone statues standing on the left and right! A terrifying stone statue that is half human, half beast!

The stone statues of these two half-orcs, carved with a bull-faced human body, look very weird and reveal a bit of evil.

These two ox-faced figures are one on one side, which is a bit similar to the lion guarding the door in the yamen or the palace in ancient times, so I can be sure that behind these two stone statues, there should be a stone gate, otherwise He Laoqi would not have specifically pointed it out to us.

I immediately signaled He Laoqi to hurry up and open the stone door, and he dived over, only to see that he had directly ripped off a water weed on the stone wall, and then a groove as big as a bowl mouth was revealed on the originally flat stone wall.

Seeing this, I'm sure that the groove as big as the mouth of the bowl should be the mechanism that opened the door.

At this time, He Laoqi took out the key wrapped in a red cloth from his pocket, opened the red cloth, and saw that the one inside was not the so-called "key" that we have seen at all, but more like a turtle.

That's right, the so-called "key" that can open the stone door in Helaoqi's mouth is actually a turtle, blue and yellow, like made of bronze, but because I am one or two meters away, and I am in the water, I can't see the specific appearance clearly. I only vaguely felt that it was a copper turtle, and it was a little familiar.

I saw that He Laoqi put the copper turtle in the groove on the stone wall, not big or small, and just put all of it in. At this time, there was a sudden "squeak" with a loud bang, as if something had been touched. We were shocked, and at this time there was a long-lasting rumbling sound from the bottom of the river, like an earthquake, and the earth shook the mountains.

With the rumbling sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, at this time, we saw that the stone wall in front of us suddenly cracked a crack, and a heavy stone gate slowly rose from the bottom to the top.

The stone door weighs thousands of catties, and ordinary people will never be able to open it, and it is obvious that the reason why this stone door opens automatically is all due to the key touching the mechanism.

When the stone door was opened, a dark hole was revealed in front of him, and He Laoqi immediately dived into the door.

Seeing that He Laoqi entered, we naturally followed closely and followed.

There is still a stone cave inside the door, a stone cave from the bottom up, maybe it is more appropriate to say that it is a well, because this stone cave is boxy, straight on all sides, there is no way, only the top of the head can not see the end at a glance, I am puzzled when I see this, I think it is possible that the only way inside this stone gate is above the head?

It is impossible for such a well man to climb up, but now that the stone gate is open, the river water has poured into the well, so we can swim up.

Sure enough, my guess was not wrong, the way inside the stone gate was above the head, after He Laoqi entered the stone gate, he went upstream, so we also followed He Laoqi to dive up, and after more than ten seconds, we dived out of the water.

Because we held it in the water for too long, as soon as we came out of the water, we first gasped for breath, and Lao Liu Tou said: "Oh, my old lady, fortunately I got out, otherwise my old life would be over." ”

Xiao Xu also snorted and panted, and complained to He Laoqi: "You also said that you don't want an oxygen cylinder, you almost killed us." ”

He Laoqi smiled hesitantly and said, "Isn't this all right, I've been here before, so I have a bottom in my heart, everyone can rest assured." ”

Xiao Xu still wanted to complain, and muttered a few words angrily. At this time, I remembered the thing I encountered before, I couldn't speak in the water at that time, and now if I speak, I naturally couldn't help but ask He Laoqi, I said: "He Laoqi, will you lead the way in the fucking end, why did you point me to the wrong way just now?" ”

I said this with a little anger, and the volume was a little high, Lao Liu Tou and they were all stunned, and asked me what's wrong?

I said, "What's wrong?" Remember on the roof of the River Temple, he pointed us the wrong way, and I almost lost my life. ”

Next, I told me about the encounter with the wheel. Hearing this, Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu were terrified, and their faces were full of shock. Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu said: "I said why didn't you swim up at that time, you were sucked by the river?" ”

I nodded, and then I shone a flashlight at He Laoqi and asked, "You explain this matter to me well, why do you want to harm me." ”

He Laoqi suddenly showed a bitter look on his face, as if he was extremely innocent, and he said: "Little brother, how could I harm you, I really didn't remember which way to go at that time, so I stopped on the roof." ”

At this time, Lao Liu Tou said: "Mr. Chen, Lao He shouldn't harm us, otherwise he wouldn't have taken us into this stone gate!" ”

I snorted coldly, remembering the incident that I encountered before, I had palpitations, full of fire in my stomach, it was really almost lost my life there, if it wasn't for my big life, maybe I would have broken my body by now.

I said, "It's always been clear that you're leading the way, and if you didn't know there was danger down that road, why did you have to take the lead at that time?" ”

For some reason, I always felt that He Laoqi wanted me to go ahead and go to the water hole, which was intended to harm me.

He Lao Qi said: "How did I know that there would be a wheel down there, I just don't remember which way to go, when I was standing there thinking about which way to go, I saw you go to investigate first, I didn't expect that there would be danger, so you went, who knows...... Ay! ”

"Really?" Old Liu Tou asked.

He Laoqi nodded solemnly and said: "Really, why am I lying to you, it is impossible to harm you, I am just afraid of being afraid to cooperate with you, if something happens to you, I will come to a bird alone." If you don't believe me, I can swear by you, old man. ”

Seeing that He Lao Qi said this, Lao Liu Tou began to turn around and persuade me, telling me not to be suspicious, my own people doubt my own people, or the most important thing is to find treasures.

Hearing Lao Liu Tou say this, and seeing He Lao Qi's innocent face again, I had no choice but to sigh, shook my hand, and took this matter as a misunderstanding, and stopped mentioning it.

At this time, we began to look at the situation outside the water surface, and found that there was a hole in the top of this well, and it was a large stone cave, or a stone chamber was more appropriate.

We used a flashlight to shine around, this stone room is larger than the living room of ordinary people, the stone room is about three or four meters high, and the well we are in is in the middle of this stone room.

The four of them climbed out of the well, and at this time, Lao Liu asked He Laoqi, what kind of place is this, and where are the treasures you said?

He Laoqi said: "This is just a stone cave, there is a passage over there, go all the way inside, there will be a stone room, there will be a pile of treasures, gold and silver treasures, thousands of years of antiquities. ”

Saying this, He Laoqi's flashlight shone forward, and sure enough, there was a passage, like a long corridor, and there was no end in sight.

When Xiao Xu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Then what are you rubbing, don't go quickly." ”

I stopped my hand and reminded: "We are not familiar with this place, and there may be some evil spirits and ghosts, so it is better to take it step by step and act carefully." ”

After I reminded him like this, Xiao Xu also knew that he was too anxious, so he asked me: "Sir, do you think there are really ghosts here?" ”

Everyone looked at me, and I said with a solemn face, "I guess it won't be clean!" Then, pointing to the side with a flashlight, there were two white bones there.
