We always thought that behind the stone wall was a passage to the sea, perhaps too eager to open it, so we only remembered that there was a passage, and forgot to ignore the seawater, and when the stone wall was opened, the overwhelming sea water rushed out from it like a wild horse.

There was nothing in the cave except the smooth rocks, and there was no place to fix the body, and when the sea water gushed out from behind the stone wall, except for me, because I was holding on to the mechanism in the rock hole, the other four people standing in the cave were all washed to the ground, and flowed out along the water, and below was the cliff, from which most of the people who fell were broken bones.

Although Xiao Lianshan fell to the ground, his instinctive adaptability was fast, he grabbed the rope hanging down from the top of the mountain, and grabbed her hand at the moment when Gu Anqi's whole person was rushed out of the cave, and the two of them were rushed out almost at the same time, rippling back and forth in the air halfway up the mountain, Gu Anqi screamed in panic, the more he struggled, the more difficult it was for Xiao Lianshan above, I saw him grabbing Gu Anqi's hand and slipping down little by little.

Yue Qianling didn't have to worry about me, she just stood on the side of the stone wall when the stone wall was opened, and when the sea water hit out, the thick stone wall just blocked the huge impact for her, I suddenly found that I didn't see Wen Zhuo, Wen Zhuo was standing on the outermost part of the cave when I opened the mechanism, my heart suddenly lifted, the position where he was standing was affected by the sudden impact and there was only one, and he didn't even have a place to hide.

The sea water gushing out of the stone wall gradually began to decrease, but the attack that Xiao Lianshan endured still did not decrease much, and the whole person pulled Gu Anqi, who was rippling back and forth, hanging in the air halfway up the mountain, and the overwhelming sea water made him unable to even open his eyes.

I wanted to go over to help him, but the turbulent and tumbling sea made it difficult for me to move an inch, and several times I tried to let go of the hand in the rock hole, I saw Yue Qianling staring at me and shaking her head, I understood what she meant, even if I didn't help Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi in the past, I would put myself in danger.

Yue Qianling and I watched Xiao Lianshan struggling at a loss, and Gu Anqi, who he was holding, was slowly slipping down, and in the end, Xiao Lianshan was completely fingertips hooking her heavy body.

"Let me go, or we'll both be fine." Gu Anqi shouted loudly below.

"Don't move, I can catch you." Xiao Lianshan shouted hard.

My heart has been sinking, before coming down, I checked the rope fixed on the top of the mountain, this rope should be no problem to bear the weight of one person, but it becomes two people, and it ripples back and forth like this, I know very well that if one of Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi does not let go, both of them will eventually fall down together because the rope breaks.

It is impossible for Xiao Lianshan to choose to let go, he did not give up two words in the dictionary at any time, but Gu Anqi was more rational than him, I saw Xiao Lianshan's suddenly frightened expression, and I guessed that Gu Anqi had made a choice.

Under the impact of the swarming seawater, we couldn't see Gu Anqi's expression clearly, but Yue Qianling and I clearly saw that she slowly let go of Xiao Lianshan's hand, and at that moment I even found that there was a helpless pleading in Xiao Lianshan's expression.

In the end, Gu Anqi's fingers slipped from his hand and disappeared into the pouring water, Xiao Lianshan stared at his empty hand blankly, looking at the bottom of the cliff with blank eyes, as if he still didn't believe that Gu Anqi would fall from his hand.

The sea water gushing out from behind the stone wall slowly became slow, I quickly let go of my hand and let Yue Qianling stay where I was, I cautiously walked to the mouth of the cave and pulled the hanging Xiao Lianshan back, he sat down in the sea water of the cave in a daze, I poked my head out and looked down, the sea water rushed out from the mouth of the cave, and splashed around on the rocks below with a huge sound, and I didn't see Wen Zhuo and Gu Anqi until now.

Just as he was about to retract his head, he suddenly saw a hand that was tightly grasping the rock, and when he looked down, he found that Wen Zhuo was hanging on the side of the rock, and his other hand actually caught Gu Anqi who had just fallen.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry up and save people." I grabbed Wen Zhuo's hand and shouted loudly to Xiao Lianshan next to me.

Xiao Lianshan immediately came to his senses, handed the suspended rope to Wen Zhuo, the sea water flowing out of the rock wall had gradually flattened, and there was no huge impact, Yue Qianling also came to help, and the three of us worked together to pull Wen Zhuo and Gu Anqi up from below.

Wen Zhuo leaned against the rock wall and took a few breaths, but he actually laughed, wiped a handful of seawater on his face and said to me.

"It seems that there is no peace in the place where you are, I have only known you for a few days, and I am already a person who has died a few times, and if I continue like this, my life will be handed over to you sooner or later."

I smiled wordlessly, sat next to Wen Zhuo, I didn't see him and Gu Anqi just now, the inexplicable sadness and loss in my heart was beyond words, I can understand Gu Anqi's reaction, after all, they are friends who have known each other for several years, and they have lived and died together, but for Wen Zhuo, I wonder why I have such deep grief, as if I have known him for longer than anyone here.

Xiao Lianshan pulled Gu Anqi up, was stunned for a moment, didn't say a word, and suddenly hugged her in his arms, he was originally a person who was not good at expressing emotions, maybe it was after the moment of life and death, at that moment all the words seemed too pale, Gu Anqi buried his head in his arms and smiled weakly and happily.

The rope fixed on the rock at the top of the mountain broke the moment Wen Zhuo and Gu Anqi pulled them up, we can't go up without the rope, we can't go up or down the cave on this halfway mountainside, either we are trapped in it, or we can only go inside, as for what awaits us behind the dark rock wall, no one can know until now.

We stood up again, turned on the flashlight to illuminate the passage behind the stone wall, and when we walked to the door, Yue Qianling suddenly froze in place, looking up at the four words above the passage intently.

Mingtu Sacred Treasure.

These four words we have seen in the Eight Immortals of the Great Sea, needless to say that this is the Ming Fourteenth Tomb we are looking for, but the whole process is much simpler and smoother than I imagined, and I always feel that something is not quite right.

Behind the stone wall is a long road, with obvious traces of man-made construction, retaining the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, and we carefully passed through the road under the guidance of flashlight, not even a mechanism to stop it.

Walk to the end of the road, is a wide platform, we hear the sound of the water, Xiao Lianshan found the whale oil for lighting on the stone wall, when the whale oil was ignited, we saw everything here clearly, here and the Ming Fourteen Tombs of the Great Master Sea built the same place, also in the mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang hollowed out this unknown mountain, but the project here is more vast, not only this mountain, the surrounding rolling mountains have been extended to the seaside, have been dug up to connect to the sea, That's why there is sea water gushing out of the ground and flowing backwards.

The place where we stood was a large but empty platform, the whale oil illuminated the whole mountain, and we walked along the platform until we stopped at a gently flowing river, and the direction of the water should have flowed into the sea.

Wen Zhuo squatted down and tasted it, and looked up to tell us that this was not the river, but the seawater, presumably the sea water that rushed out of the stone wall before came here, this was obviously an artificially constructed river, and there was another platform opposite us, but there was nothing that could allow us to pass, we were blocked by this river.

"Looking at the current is not very fast, and the river is not wide." Xiao Lianshan looked at it and said to me confidently. "I'm sure I'll be able to swim through, so why don't I go over and see what's on the other side."

I didn't answer, and my eyes fell on some of the piles of things on the edge of the river, because at the corner of the river, they had been pounded here and gathered a lot.

We walked over, Yue Qianling just glanced at it and exclaimed, the pile of undulating on the river was actually a large pile of corpses, I looked at all the corners of the river There were countless dry bones.

Wen Zhuo picked up a few bones and looked at the clothes left on them, and told me with certainty that these should be the labors that built this place back then, and finally sealed inside.

"It's just that I don't understand one thing, it stands to reason that these people are either starved to death, or they are desperate and drowned, judging from the direction of this river, it should lead to the East China Sea, these people can gamble and go down the river, and if they are lucky, they may be washed up on the beach, how can they all die here?" Yue Qianling looked at the corpse in Wen Zhuo's hand with some surprise and said.

"Judging from the corpses piled up here, it should only be a part of them, most of them have been shocked away, this place is so important to Zhu Yuanzhang, he will definitely not let anyone go out." I looked around, frowned, and said with some confusion. "If Zhu Yuanzhang blocked the passage back then and trapped the last batch of laborers who built it here, why didn't the bodies be found on the platform, but they were all in the river?"

"There is also a possibility that Zhu Yuanzhang forced these laborers to jump into the river before blocking all the exits." Gu Anqi thought for a while and answered.

"Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang afraid that someone will be washed out alive by the sea?" I shook my head and said in confusion.

Xiao Lianshan picked up a few bones from the river and looked at them for a long time, then walked up to me and said.

"Brother, look at these bones, I found a very special thing, these bones don't look like they drowned or starved to death, there are obvious cutting marks on the bones, like they were cut by a knife."

I took the bones in his hand and looked at them, and sure enough, I found obvious cutting surfaces on them, but the incision was unusually smooth and flat, as if it had been cut by something extremely sharp on it, and Wen Zhuo came over and said that the same was true of the corpse in his hand.

I took a deep breath and repeatedly checked the other corpses, almost every one of them we scooped up was exactly the same, and the marks of severance could be clearly seen on the bones, but there was no pattern, some were cut off at the waist, some were cut in half diagonally, and some were even split from the skull.

I was a little surprised to see the countless corpses in the river, these people were not starved or drowned, but all of them were cut down and thrown into the river, this was a complete massacre, we saw the corpses have been piled up, most of them must have been washed away, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
