Chapter 47: The Tomb of the Undersea God
In front of me was a huge gate that was five meters high, divided into two doors, left and right. The door is carved with dense patterns and handwriting.
I can feel that the pattern is not ordinary, it seems to be arranged according to a certain law, and the handwriting looks like there is a phenomenon of traditional Chinese characters, and there is the outline of tadpole text.
I had a flash of inspiration and a ridiculous idea. Could this be a new script, or was it deliberately created? And the creators are those Kuomintang special forces who have been to Ghost Island?
I couldn't figure it out, and I went out of my way to swim to the surface of the lake to have a look. The palace above the water has no doors or windows, although there are also frames of doors and windows from a distance, but they are all dead, just an ornament.
The iron donkey also swam up in the air, and the two of us took off the respirator and communicated. I mean, there must be cats in this palace, and when we meet up with the evil lord and the old cat, let's go in and have a look.
The iron donkey thought differently from me, he said that there was no need to be so troublesome, and he took the rifle off, which means that it is there, what are you afraid of?
I said in my heart that he really shouldn't be so arrogant, what's wrong with a gun? And I also stressed to him, is it powerful to shoot in the water?
The iron donkey was not convinced, saying that the resistance in the water was very large, but it could shoot at the enemy. Then he made a few gestures.
I think what's the difference between a rifle and a sword?
Before I could persuade anything, the iron donkey put on a respirator and swooped in again. I had no choice but to follow.
The iron donkey went straight to the gate of the palace, and when he got closer, he stretched out his hands and pushed hard.
As soon as we were both in the water, we couldn't use our strength. Second, this gate is really sinking. The iron donkey kicked its legs hard, and the giant gate only moved slightly.
The iron donkey didn't want to give up, so he got up with the giant gate. I wanted to be busy, but I thought about it again, I don't want the iron donkey to go in so rashly, I want to be stupid to help, wouldn't it be a disservice?
I ignored him and just watched coldly. I was bored like this, so I took advantage of the time to shine a flashlight around.
Except for the giant gate, the underwater building is a large wall made of stone bricks, but this wall is uneven, and there are curvatures and corners in some places.
I stumbled upon a corner where something seemed to be on the back, or like a big rock.
I wasn't sure if there were any oddities there, but to pass the time, I swam over. When you look at it up close, it's covered with green hairs of different lengths, and to put it bluntly, it's all the vegetation in the lake.
I'm not welcome, in order to see what is inside, I reach out and pull up the green hair. Although I felt that the green hair was slippery and a little disgusting, after holding on for a while, I cleaned up a piece of green hair.
I looked at the bare surface.
It's white, and I'm not a chick, so I can be sure of the bones when I touch it.
My curiosity came to me, and I picked and dragged a skull out of it. My heart tightened, and I held up the skull and looked at it.
It's just that it has bones left, no meat at all. When I was a forensic doctor, I didn't learn any more about facial reconstruction, so I didn't have any more ideas about this skull.
I looked at the rest of the pile again, and because I had broken open a skull, there was a big gap at the top of the thing, and I looked inside, and there were eight more skulls.
To put it bluntly, this pile of things is a combination of nine skulls and a bunch of green aquatic plants, and the distribution of the nine skulls is three in the lower five.
I can't help but think of Mei Chaofeng, who is the one who practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claws in martial arts novels, but Mei Chaofeng is a fictional character, how can it exist in reality? In addition, even if there is Mei Chaofeng, she is not crazy, it is not easy to practice martial arts, how can she hide under the lake to practice? Don't be too scared.
I felt that these nine skulls were abnormal, and that they must have something to do with the palace, so I simply held the skulls that had been buckled off and swam back to find the iron donkey.
I went back and forth like this, and I didn't expect the iron donkey to insist on pushing the door, but now he is so tired that he can't do it, and the snoring in the respirator is quickly bubbling out, indicating that he is breathing very quickly.
I grabbed the skull, leaned over to him, and tugged at his clothes.
The iron donkey turned his head to look at me, and he was gesturing to me angrily, so it means that you kid or my brother? Why don't you help?
I ignored this and lifted the skull up so that it could come face to face with the iron donkey.
In fact, it was really a coincidence, the skull still had green hair on it, especially on the eyebrow frame, and some green hair was carried by the water and danced wildly.
The iron donkey didn't expect this kind of thing, and was coldly frightened. Not to mention the shortness of breath this time, he wowed and vomited the respirator.
However, he reacted quickly, grabbed the respirator again, and put it in his mouth.
He bit down on the respirator, took a few more breaths, and after smoothing out his breath, stared at the skull and observed.
I thought to myself, what's the use of him observing here? So I dragged him and motioned for him to come with me.
We swam one after the other to the place where the eight skulls remained, and the iron donkey had an idea, and we could not speak at this time, so he wrote two words on the palm of my hand.
The iron donkey is good, but he is a rough man, usually writing is stumbling, like a spider crawling out, I recognized it several times before I understood that the two words he wrote this time were, "sacrifice." ”
I thought about it and felt that the iron donkey's analysis made sense, but what kind of sacrifice was so ruthless that it had to use nine skulls? In addition, this means that after a sacrifice, nine people will have to die.
I mean, hurry up and find the evil king and the old cat, and tell them this important information.
The iron donkey also knew that he couldn't mess around.
The two of us also agreed to go our separate ways, and when we found someone, we would take them back to the giant gate to gather.
I parted ways with the iron donkey, and the iron donkey swam to the entrance of the lake, and he was in charge of finding the evil king, and I was in charge of looking for the old cat.
After ten minutes of this, I came back from a long swim, and found that the huge gate of the palace had been opened a gap, and there seemed to be a person standing at the door. My heart said, is it an iron donkey? He didn't go to the evil king, but he came up again and was stubborn and pushed the door alone?
I swam over quickly, but found that I had guessed wrong, it was an old cat.
The old cat looked at the giant gate, with an attitude of half-watching and half-appreciating, and he also knew that I was swimming, so he took advantage of the time to look back at me.
I gestured to him, which means that you pushed the giant door open?
The old cat shrugged and twisted his head back again. I was curious, especially when I saw the crack in the door, which was just enough for a person to squeeze into.
I didn't wander around anymore and waited with the old cat. After a while, the iron donkey also swam back, but there was no shadow of the evil king.
When the iron donkey saw the two of us, he gestured vigorously to show that he could not find the evil king. I have a guess, and I pointed to the crack in the door, so does that mean that the evil lord has already entered?
The old cat didn't react, and the iron donkey thought it was very likely that I guessed. We all acted together, and we got through the crack in the door.
We all had flashlights with us, and when I took a photo like this, I saw a shocking scene behind the giant gate.
In front of me is a wide corridor, it is estimated that two trucks can run side by side in it, and the walls are made of local materials and stones, but they have also been retouched and turned over, and the walls are very smooth.
On the wall behind the giant gate, there were more than a dozen corpses of small earthenmen, all nailed to the wall in large characters. They also died miserably, some of their heads were cut off in half, some were killed, and some of their chests and abdomen were opened, and all their internal organs were hollowed out.
I wasn't too scared, just like the iron donkey and the old cat, I studied it closely, and we all had the same feeling, this corpse was more like a "specimen" on display.
This palace is not a museum of the human body, and if you want to exhibit specimens here, the only visitors will be trespassers like us.
I thought to myself, is this a warning? Let's not fight the idea of the palace?
I was worried that it would be dangerous to go further inside, but the iron donkey and the old cat didn't think much about it, and the old cat shook his head with a kind of disdainful posture, and then he and the iron donkey hooked their shoulders and swam in together.
I followed them closely. Our flashlights were not idle, sweeping around.
That's what I thought, even if there's a trap here, there's to be a device to activate it. We swim in and don't step on the ground, so as long as we pay attention to the water in front of us for wire or thin wire, as long as we don't touch the starting device, we can swim in safely.
We swam slowly, and after two or three hundred meters of this depth, the walls of the corridor changed. There were small pits scattered on it, the diameter of which was the size of two large bowls. And if you look further away, there is a tendency for the small pits to become denser and denser.
In addition, these small pits are not deep, at best an inch, but the soil at the bottom of the pit is very loose, as if it has been filled in later.
We stopped at the outermost pit, and the old cat had the idea to pull out the knife and pick at a small one.
Iron Donkey and I did the same.
I don't have a knife or a dagger, so I can only reach out. I was very vigilant, and after a few strokes, I dug the pit half an inch deeper, and there was a hole at the bottom of the pit.
I shined a flashlight at the hole. But I didn't see anything, it was dark.
I was worried that there was something else in this pit, but now that I see it, this worry is a little unnecessary. I turned my head to look at the iron donkey and the old cat.
The two of them had already changed a pit and continued to pick at it. I guess they dug a hole just now, and they must have dug nothing, but they didn't feel at ease or didn't give up, so they tried another place.
I don't want to make any effort, my heart said that I will take a break, just watch them dig, if there is really something abnormal, I will come over and take a look.
I waited with my back to the little pit I had dug.
After a while, all of a sudden, I felt a chill on the back of my neck, as if something was on it.
I thought it was a hallucination, and I reached behind and touched it, but when I touched the thing that touched me, not only was it real, but I touched it a few more times and knew what it was.
For a moment, my whole heart was stunned. I couldn't help but spit out a bubble, and my heart said damn it, it was a person's hand that touched me! Who is he?
