Chapter 13: Earth Water

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Bu Jin stood in place, and everyone's attention was attracted to her. I saw Bu Jin looking around in place, as if he wanted to look for something strange from all around, but he found nothing. She looked up at the sky, and since everything around her was nothing out of the ordinary, the only place where anything could be unusual was under our feet.

Bu Jin naturally understood this, she squatted down, and for a while, the light of the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade on her chest suddenly increased a lot. All of a sudden, all the questions became clear.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Zhang Hefang. Zhang Hefang thought to himself for a while, and finally he looked up and nodded at Binzi, who had tattoos on the back of his ears, and Brother Liao from Guangdong. The two of them understood, and everyone also scattered around, and for a while, the place where Bu Jin was standing just now was empty.

Bin Zi and Brother Liao immediately took action, they each opened their equipment bags, and quickly turned out two folding shovels from inside. The two of them quickly assembled the folding shovel and began to shovel the ground like a whirlwind. I could tell that the two of them were moving very neatly, and within a few minutes, a pit of dirt more than a meter deep appeared on the ground.

Seeing my surprised and stunned expression, Bao Ye smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, the two of them specialize in underground work, and they are no different from groundhogs." ”

"Underground work?" I looked at the skillful posture of Bin Zi and Brother Liao, and couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that they specialize in tomb robbing?" ”

Bao Ye nodded.

Zhang Hefang said on the side: "The Spirit Demon Jade is spiritual, and it will not react for no reason, there must be something underground." ”

As he was talking, suddenly, the folding shovel made a "ding" sound. Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look down. Brother Liao didn't react otherwise, he just reached out to touch the location where the sound was made, and then, he raised his head expressionlessly, looked at Zhang Hefang, and said, "It's a tomb." ”

When Zhang Hefang heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and it seemed that even he was very puzzled. Zhang Hefang said: "Strange thing, really strange thing. The Nanwu Group has guarded the relics of major ancient civilizations for generations, but they have never heard of the existence of any ancient tombs on the way to the altar of the ancient Shu Kingdom. ”

Binzi stood up, patted the soil on his body, and said a little lazily: "It may not necessarily be a tomb, maybe it's just an underground fortification." With that, he went back to the pit he had dug, and then leaned down, put his ear to the ground, and after listening for a while, he raised his head and said, "There is a sound of water." ”

"Water?" Bao Ye said: "Then it is definitely not an ancient tomb. ”

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

Bao Ye explained to me: "Although I am not like Binzi and Brother Liao, who specialize in tomb robbing, but I also understand at least some common sense in it. ”

Speaking of this, I wondered, "Isn't there another type of tomb called an underwater tomb?" ”

"Are you blind?" Bao Ye said unceremoniously: "This is the mountain, after walking forward for a while, we are about to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, you say this is an underwater tomb?" ”

I nodded embarrassedly, and now that the question was in front of us, Bin Zi asked directly, "Boss, can you open it?" ”

Zhang Hefang pondered carefully for a while, and I understood what he was concerned about. Zhang Hefang is an extremely thoughtful person, he rarely does some risky things, and he didn't know about this tomb here, so he didn't dare to make a rash decision. But at the same time, one thing is certain, that is, the Spirit Extraction Demon Jade will definitely not have any reaction to the ordinary ancient tomb, and if it has a reaction, then it must be related to the Wu Sect.

However, I know very well that Zhang Hefang is not afraid of opening this tomb, he is just afraid of delaying time, and now we can be said to be rushed by people organized by the government to carry out the task. I believe that with the combined strength of the ten of us, it is not a problem to deal with a small tomb, but the question is whether the action of entering the tomb is worthwhile.

After a few thoughts, Zhang Hefang finally made a decision, he nodded and said, "Open." ”

As soon as Zhang Hefang's voice fell, Brother Liao and Binzi immediately started work. I can tell that because they are tomb robbers in their profession, they show extraordinary enthusiasm.

After a few minutes of construction, a hole was dug into the stone slab, and it was so dark that we couldn't see what was going on inside. Binzi flipped through his flashlight and probed down.

"How? Is there water? Zhang Hefang asked.

Binzi shook his head and said, "There is no water, but the moisture inside is very heavy." ”

As soon as his voice fell, suddenly, his body sank, and Binzi lay on the ground, he screamed, "Oh no, I was caught." ”

As soon as I heard this in my heart, I chuckled, and I was caught? What kind of sadness is something to catch? Could it be a zombie.

However, when he saw that Binzi was the kind of battle-hardened material, he didn't show any panic when he encountered such a situation, but said very calmly: "You pull me, I'll see if I can pull that thing out." ”

When Brother Liao heard this, he hurriedly walked to Binzi's side and began to help him.

After dragging for a while, Binzi's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Listen to it, something is wrong." ”

When they heard this, their hearts tightened, and they said, "What's the matter? ”

Bin Zi said: "There is water, I can feel that there is water!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Binzi's body immediately sank a little more. Zhang Hefang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "No, you guys help him quickly." ”

Before the others moved, Bu Jin had already walked to Binzi's side, only to see her holding Binzi's arm with one hand, muttering something in her mouth, and then with a flip of her wrist, she heard a commotion in the surrounding soil, and countless unknown insects crawled out of it and crawled towards the hole in the tomb.

"It turns out that the Earth Imperial Attendant is a Gu Master." Bao Ye said.

As soon as the insects crawled into the entrance of the tomb, after a while, two sharp roars were heard from under the tomb.

All of us hurriedly stepped forward and turned on the flashlights to see if Binzi's arm had been hurt in any way.

As soon as the light of the flashlight shone on Binzi's arm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although there were still some scratches and blood stains on Binzi's arm, but fortunately, there was no serious injury. However, there was one thing that caught the attention of the rest of us, that is, by the light of the flashlight, we found that some small patches appeared on Binzi's arms, and these patches actually reflected the light of the flashlight.

"What's going on?" Bao Ye couldn't help but say: "I said Binzi, is it possible, you were bitten by a fish below?" ”

Binzi shook his head and said, "I know very well that the one who grabbed me must be a hand!" ”

"Hands, scales? Don't tell me it's a mermaid. Bao Ye teased.

Zhang Hefang began to have some curiosity about what was happening in front of him, he frowned, and said, "Fish scales, it is very likely to be related to the ancient king of the Ancient Shu Kingdom. ”

Professor Li Zhongkai nodded and said: "In the legend, there is such a saying, that is, the monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom was once a snake, and later the snake encountered water and turned into a fish. ”

"Snakes again?" I've developed some antibodies to snakes, and I wasn't surprised at the mention of it, but I felt a little boring and cliché.

Professor Li Zhongkai nodded and said, "Actually, there is another saying, I don't know if you have noticed it after listening to my story, in fact, all the monarchs of the ancient Shu Kingdom, they are very wrong. ”

I showed a surprised expression, and Professor Li Zhongkai continued: "First of all, the founding monarch, Silkworm Cong, although the introduction of historical legends to him is that he is proficient in the art of silkworm raising, but in fact, there has always been some criticism about the task image of silkworm Cong. Some say he has crab-like eyes and arms. The second is the fisher, which is said to be a master fisherman, but the legend also says that the fish itself is transformed from a snake into a fish, and then from a fish to a human. And then there is Emperor Wangdi Du Yu, the legend of his description is even more divine, it is said that he is the monarch who fell from the sky, and after the death of this monarch, he also became a cuckoo bird, we can also think that from the beginning, Du Yu is a bird. Not to mention the next turtle spirit, he was completely transformed from a drowning corpse, which eventually caused the destruction of the Shu Kingdom. After listening to so many of my explanations, you should understand. ”

I nodded in a daze, and said with a chill in my back: "The monarchs of the ancient Shu Kingdom are not human. ”

Professor Li Zhongkai nodded and said, "More precisely, those monarchs are not people in the pure sense. ”
