Chapter 4 The Hidden Capital of the East China Sea
On the third day, when he came out of the airport with a salute, Fan Li saw Xiao Yun in the crowd at a glance. Xiao Yun waited with his sister Xiao Xiao for a long time, and in addition to the toad face of the ninth brother, there were three strange men in black suits standing beside the two of them.
"It's been a long time, Miss Jialan, Ahri is so powerful, even you can be moved." The three of Fan Li walked out of the exit, and Brother Jiu immediately won, with a hypocritical smile on his face, staring at his little eyes and constantly switching targets between Fan Li and Jialan.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Tian Mang, I'm also strange, you don't know how to be a thief, you can live until now." Jialan raised her hand to open the man in the suit who wanted to help her with her luggage, lifted the heavy suitcase with one hand, and lifted it into the trunk of the SUV. It was a jeep, after a long time after being away from Fan Li, just by looking at the decoration with a lion's head in the car, she could guess that it was Fan Li's car. Fan Lion adores his grandfather, so he likes to collect all kinds of lion ornaments.
"Hahaha, the poisonous snake Jialan is really the same as back then, then we won't be verbose, let's hurry." Brother Jiu nodded at the three men in suits, and they followed Brother Jiu into a Mercedes-Benz car next to him. Speaking of the title of "poisonous snake", it was given by Fan Li, at that time, Fan Li, and Jialan were soaked together all day long, and they had a feeling that they had a feeling, and the two tried their best to restrain their ambiguous feelings in front of everyone. At that time, I don't know if it's because of love, Jialan suddenly had a problem with counting people, and she counted Fan Li's most times during that time, and Fan Li's nickname gave her the nickname "Viper". The poisonous snake represents witchcraft, and it also has the same sound as "poisonous tongue", so it is very suitable to describe a woman like Jialan, so after a long time, everyone is used to calling her a poisonous snake, but like Fan Li, Jialan doesn't like others to give her a nickname.
"Hey, Jialan, long time no see." Seeing Brother Jiu and his party getting into the car, Xiao Yun and Xiao Xiao walked up. Xiao Xiao is a mediocre-looking woman, the same age as Fan Li.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought that if I went for a few years, you would get along with Fan Li, but it didn't look good." Jialan looked at Xiao Xiao with a wicked smile, then turned her head and glared at Fan Li. "You kid treated me badly back then, I knew that you didn't have good retribution, how could a high-quality woman like Xiao Xiao get along with him."
"Okay, okay, go back and find a place to eat, and bet on your poisonous mouth." Fan Lixi patted Jialan and jumped into the off-road vehicle, but Jialan stood motionless next to him, without any intention of getting into the car.
"What are you doing?" Fan asked Li.
"Brother Jiu is menacing, his eyes are complicated, this guy's purpose is not clean." Jialan lowered her voice, Xiao Yun was carrying the luggage for the crossbow, and after hearing this, she only paused slightly, and then continued the work in her hands.
Fan Li nodded at Jialan, and Jialan hammered the front of his car hard.
"Forget it, a line has been drawn between us, I'll get into Brother Yun's car." Jialan pretended to be loud, then turned around and walked to Xiao Yun and Kai Crossbow, and patted Kai Crossbow on the shoulder. "You get into Fan Li's car, I can't get used to his car now."
Kai crossbow sat in the co-pilot, staring at the Mercedes-Benz of the ninth brother.
"What did Jialan say?" He also lowered his voice, but with a smile on his face.
"She said that Brother Jiu's purpose was not clean, but when Brother Jiu went to the tomb, when was his purpose clean."
Brother Jiu took them directly to a warehouse where food was being resold, and Chu Jianghe had been standing at the door and waiting for a long time. Around, stinking and rotting food is being poured into the pool by workers for reprocessing, and food waiting to be processed is everywhere, including phoenix feet, tofu slices, salted fish, shrimp and crabs. Next to this group of workers stood a group of men in suits, who bent down and saluted when they saw the arrival of the ninth brother.
"Now that your team is together, I don't think we should waste time, Boss Jin is urging urgently, although the slate was bought by him, there are many people eyeing him, he understands that this is a hot piece of goods, and he must solve the problem as soon as possible." Listening to Brother Jiu's words, he walked through the warehouse and entered a large mezzanine, which was full of equipment used to go down to the tomb. Although Fan Li is not sure that the capital is an ancient tomb, the ancients had many similar theories about the design of the underground palace, and whether there were corpses in it or not, they needed these equipment to get off to a good start.
"Give you a day to prepare, and tomorrow we will go to the East China Sea." Brother Nine picked up an Uzi submachine gun from the pile of equipment. "You have to be well prepared, you may not be able to get out if you go in." He looked at Fan Li's evil smile, full of the grave robbers' mockery of the spirit robbers.
"Huh! When we went to the grave, I am afraid you were still selling lamb skewers on the street. Kai crossbow smiled disdainfully, and then drew the short axe from his waist and spun around. When you go down to the grave, you will know that those guns and cannons are no match for my cold weapons. ”
Brother Jiu just smiled slightly, he is no longer the impetuous him he was back then, Fan Li saw that there was a little more patience in his eyes, God knows what he has experienced in the days when he was separated from him.
When the old man ordered someone to find Brother Jiu, he was indeed selling mutton skewers. Brother Jiu is eight years older than Fan Li, and his ancestors have had two masters of going to the tomb, but in his generation, going to the tomb has become a loss-making business, science and technology are strong, it is convenient to go to the tomb, and it is a matter of minutes to be caught. The old man was so good-mouthed that he called him over, and after half an afternoon's effort, he persuaded him, and he carried the equipment and Fan Li's life to death. Later, Fan Li disbanded the team, only knowing that he was still engaged in the previous deeds, going to the tomb, reselling cultural relics and the like.
Fan Li and his entourage selected their respective equipment and left the warehouse. Fan Li's shop was in the East Lane, where there were many people and it was not suitable to discuss countermeasures, so he went to the warehouse where Kai's friend stored fishing gear, and unfolded a map of the East China Sea there. Chu Jianghe began to adjust the communication equipment, and Jialan continued to weave the bird's head bracelet.
They were so busy for a day, and the next morning, Brother Jiu was shouting nearby in a Mercedes-Benz, and several people boarded the plane, and it was a long wait, and finally arrived at the destination at noon. Fan Lifu has not made a move for many years, and his heart has long been itching, so he hurriedly ate lunch and went straight to the East China Sea.
"The boss once sent someone to find the entrance here, a lot of people died, it is said that this area is very evil, they first found an expedition team, the captain of the expedition team told him that the entrance should be at the bottom of the sea, he found some fishermen with good water nature, with large bags of equipment to go to the sea, but none of them came up alive, not even the body can be found. When I took on this task, they finally found the entrance, and guess what? The entrance turned out to be through an undersea tunnel more than 20 meters underneath our feet. Brother Jiu and Fan Li stood side by side on the reef on the shore, looking at the churning waves below.
"Feet? So why don't you make a hole and go down? ”
"Why haven't you tried it, the stones here are hard and brittle, it's a little bit blocked, and no one has ever entered it, God knows what treasure is from the entrance of the cave, if it's broken, we will suffer a big sin." The ninth brother stuck in his waist. "Ahri, we have teamed up for the first time in so many years, you want to give me a long face, but I praised you in front of Boss Jin."
"You say that, I haven't been to the grave for so many years, and I've long been rusty." Fan Li smiled bitterly and patted Brother Jiu's back, then turned around and jumped off the reef. Jialan handed over a wetsuit, she was just wearing an oxygen mask, and it was not easy to hold her equipment in a wetsuit. Fan took the wetsuit and Jialan pointed to the flocks of seagulls in the distance.
"In the past few years, although I have been a tour guide, I have not given up the study of witchcraft, according to records, some witchcraft can communicate with animals, such people are become the medium of all things, they go to the forest, they can let the rabbit lead the way, come to the bottom of the water, can ride the dolphin forward."
"If this is put on the lower tomb, then the cultural relics in the world are in danger." Fan Li sighed.
"Brother Jiu is a greedy person, and the boss behind him is no better, you are here to uncover the secret, and what about them? You're going to let them take everything of value from the city? ”
"The premise is that there is such a thing in the hidden capital." Fan Li looked back at Brother Jiu who was wearing a diving suit, this time he took four people down, all of them were wearing guns, and they were all veterans who were proficient in martial arts, if we fought, our side would not be good.
"What if Grandpa knew?" While putting on the oxygen mask, Jialan threw out a sentence that made Fan Li the most distressed.
"Alas, revealing the secret also has a price, his old man lives in a lonely village, and it is difficult to know about it, but if I really want to know it to him, I can't help it, take it one step at a time."
"People still can't suppress the ** in their hearts."
"But isn't it, otherwise how can there be passion in life, and I won't be a god?"
After twenty minutes of preparation, they dived into the water under the leadership of Brother Jiu. Chu Jianghe and four men in suits stayed on it to help them check information and keep in touch. Brother Jiu kept diving despite the beautiful scenery next to him, but Fan Li's attention was attracted by the colorful fish and shrimp around him. He tried to reach out and touch the precious coral reef, but something kept tugging at his arm, and he looked back to find Jialan shaking her head at him. Jialan was wearing a bare shoulder, and the tattoos on her left and right arms were obvious, I don't know if it was because of the special material of the tattoos or for some reason, those tattoos actually emitted a faint blue fluorescence in the water.
After about ten minutes, there was a vague hole in front of him that could only pass through one person, and the ninth brother did not hesitate to burrow into the hole and disappear, Fan Li followed, he found that this design was very eye-catching, because it was a small hole of sixty degrees, and people had to turn their backs to enter this hole.
The cave is also a pile of metabolites of marine life, and occasionally a few shrimp burrow out of the cracks in the rocks and suddenly disappear. Fan Li's journey was like rock climbing, picking up nearby rocks and going upstream. He wriggled like an earthworm for about twenty minutes when there was a sudden splash of water overhead, followed by a large hand pulling him out of the hole.
There is no water outside the cave, and this design cleverly keeps the water out and hides the hole well. He watched Brother Jiu take off his wetsuit and started to do it himself. As he took it off, he looked up at the dark entrance of the cave in front of him, there was no light here, and it was illuminated by the flashlight that Jiu Ge had just turned on and placed on the stone, he couldn't see what was carved on the stone slab at the entrance of the cave, but he felt that there were ups and downs, and there might be some inscription spells.
Soon, Xiao Yun, Xiao Xiao, Jialan, Kai Crossbow and the four people under Brother Jiu all climbed up, and ten people were inevitably a little uncomfortable standing in such a small space. Fan turned on the flashlight and shone at the slate door, and sure enough, there were words, and they were some incomprehensible hieroglyphs.
Although Brother Jiu looked anxious, Fan Li did not pay attention to these words. When he entered the secret passage under the sea, he was confused in his heart, how could his grandfather have such equipment back then, he dived to a depth of more than 20 meters, and then turned back to a distance of nearly 20 meters by more than 10 meters, so that it added up to a depth of thirty or forty meters, and he didn't breathe, and he came to the entrance of the cave under such extreme conditions, which is a little intriguing.
"What the hell is going on above?" The ninth brother on the side waited impatiently, so he knocked on Fan Li's shoulder. At this moment, Jialan stroked the words, and she didn't seem to be able to see how to open the stone door.
"There is no light in this place, there are no flying insects and beasts, the area of the stone gate is very small, there is not enough space to design the mechanism, it doesn't seem like a door that can be opened." For a long time, Jialan snorted in a deep voice.
"What? So it's a dead end? Brother Jiu angrily punched the nearby stone wall, as if he learned that the bull market had plummeted, and he lost millions in an instant.
"Not really, because it's an exit." Fan Li turned to everyone and said.
