Seabeard brought very professional caving equipment, and he was indeed quite experienced in this area, otherwise he would not have been the leader of the tomb expedition in the first place.

Wen Qingshan introduced us to his relationship with Seabeard, it turned out that he and Seabeard had known each other for a long time, and he had also saved Seabeard's life, and the two could be described as inseparable friends.

That evening, we sat down together to discuss the next step.

Wen Qingshan believes that the possibility that the treasure of Dashun is hidden in the Hukou Rock still exists, because the Hukou Rock is intricately intertwined, like a labyrinth, and judging from the cave hall that was discovered, the person who hid the treasure did have the idea of the Hukou Rock. Otherwise, they would not have gone to great lengths to carve out such a cave hall, but later on, perhaps they felt that it was not hidden enough, and gave up hiding the treasure there, and transformed it into a trap and arranged an illusion, so as to achieve the purpose of concealing people's eyes.

And Huang Yixian still insisted on his own point of view, he felt that the possibility of the treasure in the ** rock was relatively large, because in the past two days, when he was chatting with the second master of Qi, he learned that the reason why the entrance of the ** rock was completely submerged in the waterhole was actually a human factor.

Qi Erye said, ** rock entrance is located in the middle of a mountain stream, originally this mountain stream did not flow through this place, and later because the ancestors of the Bai family in order to lead water into the village, artificially changed the upstream river, and it happened that the mouth of the rock cave is a depression, thus forming a waterhole.

Although on the surface, it seems to be purely a coincidence, but in Huang Yixian's opinion, it is very likely that the ancestors of the Bai family used the waterhole to flood the entrance of the ** rock in order not to let people discover the treasure hidden in the ** rock. In this way, it is not so easy to get into ** rock.

After listening to what Huang Yixian said, Wen Qingshan also felt that things were indeed a little strange, and after some discussion, everyone decided to go to Hukou Rock to explore again, and if they really couldn't find it, they would go to ** Rock again.

The next day, we packed up our gear and headed to Hukou Rock again.

Seabeard is a professional explorer, and the equipment he brings is very advanced, not only GPS locators, three-dimensional scanners, spectrum analyzers, etc., but also metal detectors, so although the cave is very intricate and there is no one to lead the way, our progress has been much faster.

After two days of exploration, we almost explored the Hukou Rock, and Seabeard even used special equipment to draw a rough three-dimensional topographic map of the Hukou Rock, but unfortunately, we couldn't find even a silver ingot in the cave. And there is no resemblance to the previous cave hall. It seems that the treasure is not hidden in the Hukou Rock, so we turned the direction of the search to the ** rock according to the original jihua.

**Rock is far away from Qiping Village, located in the mountainside of the back mountain, Qi Erye told us, along the stream flowing through the village has been upstream, about four or five miles of mountain road, you will see a waterfall about seven or eight meters wide and about two or three meters high on the mountainside, below the waterfall is a waterhole with a diameter of more than ten meters, **The entrance of the rock is hidden behind the waterfall, and is completely flooded by the pool.

However, Qi Erye also reminded us to be more careful, he said that the waterhole is called ** pool, ** pool is unfathomable, once someone took a bamboo pole more than ten meters long to go down, and failed to reach the bottom of the pool. And the point is, in the deep pool, there seems to be a mysterious creature hidden!

More than ten years ago, someone in the village was grazing cattle by the waterhole, who knew that an adult buffalo weighing hundreds of pounds had mysteriously disappeared, the villagers searched everywhere, but found blood stains on the shore and traces of the buffalo's struggle, so the villagers suspected that the buffalo was attacked by some mysterious creature, and this creature is very likely to live in the waterhole. Since this incident, the ** pool has become a taboo place for the people in the village, and under normal circumstances, everyone does not dare to approach the waterhole.

After listening to what Second Master Qi said, I couldn't help but think to myself, a palm-sized pool, and it has only been formed for more than 300 years, how can there be a huge and ferocious water monster hidden in it, this is obviously unreasonable, it must just be alarmist from the villagers.

The other people also thought the same as me, thinking that there could be no mysterious creatures in the waterhole, so they didn't take Second Master Qi's advice to heart.

Since it is necessary to dive to go to ** rock, Wen Qingshan was already prepared when he returned to the provincial capital a few days ago, and specially bought a wetsuit and a waterproof backpack. On this day, we put on wetsuits, packed all our belongings into waterproof backpacks, and walked upstream along the stream that flows through the village.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the further you go up the mountain, the more rugged the mountain road becomes, plus each of us has a lot of things on our backs, after walking for more than half an hour, we are all tired and out of breath, especially the fat cow, not only the face is pale, but also gasping for breath. Seeing this, Seabeard took off the backpack from his back and carried it all on himself. It is worthy of being a person who specializes in exploration, and his physical strength is not ordinarily good.

The group walked for more than ten minutes, and there was a faint sound of "bang-la-la" waterfall impact in front of them.

Wen Qingshan immediately turned his head and said to everyone: "It should be almost there!" Hold on a little longer. ”

Everyone suddenly came to the spirit and unconsciously quickened their pace.

After climbing a steep slope, a small waterfall seven or eight meters wide and two or three meters high appeared in front of us, and below the waterfall, as described by Qi Erye, was a bottomless pool. Needless to say, this should be the ** pool.

Everyone was so tired that they couldn't care so much, and they all sat down on the ground.

After resting for a while, Huang Yixian looked around and sighed: "This place is a place where the wind gathers qi, locks the yin and gathers the yang, the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, it can be regarded as a feng shui spiritual land." "He's starting to look at feng shui again.

Wen Qingshan smiled and teased: "Hehe, Master Huang, are you planning to build a feng shui mansion here?" ”

"Hehe, Boss Wen smiled, I just have such a hobby, I like to look at feng shui wherever I go." Huang Yixian said, taking out the feng shui compass from his satchel.

He took the compass and walked slowly forward a few steps, but suddenly stopped, suddenly raised his head, and said, "Wait! Isn't this a Tai Chi **? ”

When Wen Qingshan heard this, he immediately got up and walked quickly towards Huang Yixian, he leaned over to the compass to take a look, but he didn't seem to see any clues. He opened his mouth and asked, "Master Huang, are you right, this is really a Tai Chi **?" ”

Huang Yixian frowned and said, "Judging from the changes in the compass, it's a bit similar!" If it is really Tai Chi, you have to be careful, although Tai Chi ** is a treasure of feng shui, but it often breeds some weird things, so Tai Chi ** is also known as the demon cave. ”

As soon as I heard the demon cave, I immediately thought of the bizarre thing that Second Master Qi said, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi, could the thing that Second Master Qi said be true?" Could it be that some monster attacked the buffalo!? ”

"It's not good, anyway, it's better for everyone to be careful!" Huang Yixian's expression was solemn.

Seabeard was not impressed, and said, "How can there be monsters in such a big pool!" There's not even a fish in it, and if there's a monster, what does it usually eat? ”

Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Brother Hai, don't you know, this Tai Chi ** can gather yin and yang aura, and some spiritual animals will undergo some abnormal changes in their bodies after absorbing the aura in the cave. I once accidentally got a specimen of a fire centipede nearly one meter long, which is said to come from a Tai Chi**. ”

"What! A centipede that is a meter long!? How is this possible! Seabeard's eyes widened, he obviously couldn't believe it, "As far as I know, the largest centipede on Shijie is the giant centipede of South America, but the longest found is only more than sixty centimeters, if it is really a meter-long centipede, wouldn't it break the Guinness Shijie record!?" ”

Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Hehe, that fire centipede specimen is still in my house now, I'll show it to you another day!" Although it can't be proved whether it comes from Tai Chi **, one thing is certain, Tai Chi ** is by no means a peaceful place, we still listen to Master Huang, it is better to be careful. ”

Seabeard was about to say something, but the cheap suddenly shouted loudly: "There seems to be something in the water!" ”

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look into the pool, and saw that there was a circle of ripples on the surface of the water not far from us, and it seemed that something had just swam through the water.

"What do you see?" Huang Yixian hurriedly asked the cheap.

Cheap said in a bit of a panic: "Just now I seemed to see a long black shadow swimming quickly under the water, but I can't see what it is." ”

"Is there a monster in the water!?" Seabeard had a surprised look on his face.

Huang Yixian frowned and said: "If the buffalo was really attacked by a monster more than ten years ago, it means that this monster is not an ordinary body type, and its temperament is quite fierce, if we rush into the water, we are afraid that there will be danger." Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, what do you think?" ”

Wen Qingshan pondered for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a suitable idea.

I couldn't help but sigh: "This Bai Xiaowu's courage is really big enough, he said that he once dived into the ** rock, isn't he afraid of the monsters in the pool?" ”

"Maybe he didn't even know there were monsters in the pool." ”

"Everyone in Qiping Village knows that there are monsters in the waterhole, how could he not know!" Speaking of this, I suddenly had a stir in my head, "Wait! He must have found another entrance to ** rock, right!? ”
