Chapter 41: The Corpse of the Town



Immediately afterwards, I turned my attention back to the woman lying on her stomach, which I would have struggled to figure out what she meant under normal circumstances, but combined with the stone pillar she was hadding, and the strange corpse on the stone pillar, reminded me of an ancient custom.

In ancient times, there were some buildings that needed to be built in the water, the most common being river embankments. Before the Yuan Dynasty, there was a bad custom in many places, that is, when building river embankments or some water buildings, it was necessary to get a corpse to control the water.

If it is an official building, most people will find some death row prisoners, and after the completion of the project, there is often a large blessing ceremony to pray for the blessing of the river god, on this day, a pillar carved with a statue of the river god is tied to the prisoner, and then the water is sunk next to the river embankment to control the water.

Later, some large families also raised the idea of building summer gardens on the water, and it is said that they would also buy some children from poor families to be used as corpses for water control. After the Yuan Dynasty, with the reform of the Ming Dynasty system, this bad custom was gradually abolished, but later it is said that in the construction project of the Old Summer Palace, there used to be a large water feature, and it was also used to tie pillars and throw corpses.

If I'm not wrong, the reef pillar in front of me and the local material should also be a water column, and the corpses tied to the pillar are probably water water corpses, but the bones of these corpses are as red as blood, and I don't know if they were fed something before they were born, which caused the abnormal changes in the bones.

And the woman on the camel pillar reminds me of a legend from ancient times. Legend has it that during the period of Dayu's water control, there are turtles carrying words from the river, Dayu according to the prompts of these words, and finally succeeded in controlling the water, and later, in China's tombs and gods and ghosts culture, it gradually derived a kind of turtle camel tablet shape, in the temple or some ancient tombs, most of them can be seen.

Although the image of this female camel pillar is rarely recorded, it is said that in ancient times, in order to imitate the turtle camel book, some virgin women would be selected after the death of the respected elder, and the life record of the elder was presented to the grave, using the model of the turtle camel book to pray for the longevity.

But the situation of the camel pillar of such a woman has never been recorded.

Zhang Bald Head followed, continued to stare at the woman's breasts, as if waiting for the strange head to come out, after I comforted the fat man, I gestured to everyone, signaling to continue looking for the German beauty.

At this moment, we have been in the water for about half an hour, that is to say, it is very likely that in the next minute, the sea water will pour in, we must strive to enter the tomb as soon as possible, otherwise once the sea water backswells, the water pressure increases, then the diving suit we are wearing will not be able to reach the water pressure close to 200 meters.

Although the three Germans were suspicious of us, but at this juncture, everyone could not have a conflict, and the three of them exchanged words in German for a while, and then they scattered and went upstream again, this time, they locked their eyes on the corpse pillar, obviously feeling that the disappearance of the little dragon girl had nothing to do with this strange corpse pillar.

I prefer to believe that the little dragon girl may have discovered something and left the team alone. Although this corpse pillar is strange, the corpses on it are only bones, and there is absolutely no possibility of corpses, let alone any lethality.

So when the three Germans went upstream, I took the fat trio to search underwater. There must be a reason why this camel corpse pillar is set up in this place, maybe the entrance to the bucket is near here.

But in this vast sea area, which direction to look for is really a very serious problem.

Subconsciously, I looked at the woman, who was still studying the woman's boobs with her bald head, and I wanted to kick his fat ass.

I looked at the woman's face, and suddenly I felt a sigh in my heart, and I noticed something strange.

The woman's shape is a posture of crawling forward with a corpse pillar, that is, her destination is ahead, but her face is turned to the right, which is completely different from the direction in which the body crawls, as if in the process of crawling, she suddenly found something, and the direction she is looking at is also located on the reef of the island bucket.

My heart moved, is this a hint? What's in that place?

I saw that the fat man and the others were searching for other locations, so I didn't call them, but swam in the direction of the woman's gaze. As I got closer, I could see the terrain near the reef.

It was an uneven and undulating area, and the perimeter of the reef was completely natural, and there were no signs of artificial polishing, but in the location of the reef, there was a very strange vacancy.

Originally, I shouldn't have discovered this vacant area, but the reason why it was so conspicuous was because the outer part of the vacant area was covered with a plant like seaweed.

I recognized it, it was 'Comorian carnivorous black algae'.

Obviously, this vacant area was artificially cleared, and the roots of seaweed could still be seen on it, so I hurriedly approached to take a closer look, and suddenly my heart beat suddenly, because I found that this place was indeed an entrance, but for some reason, the reef at the entrance showed a state of fragmentation, and it seemed that there had been some big explosion, so that the reef completely blocked the entrance to the cave.

I turned my head and saw that the fat men were some distance away from me, so I turned on my searchlight and motioned for them to come and help.

Soon, we gathered together, and the fat man gave me a thumbs up without saying a word, and then set out to move the reef.

Since it was in the sea, it was not difficult to move, but the movement was very clumsy, we moved for a full ten minutes, only moved less than 30 reefs, and as we cleared, a hole about one meter in diameter appeared in front of us.

I continued to move forward for a while, and suddenly, the water pressure gauge in our hands started to sound an alarm. The water pressure gauge is connected to the diving equipment, and its alarm sounds directly through the peeping, which sounds extremely nervous, and at the same time, I feel that my body is gradually becoming heavier, and the skin on my body is as if it is being squeezed, which is extremely uncomfortable.

I quickly looked at the water pressure gauge, and the water pressure showed a depth of one hundred and seventeen, which was already more than the standard depth of one hundred and five in a wetsuit.

If we stay any longer, as the water continues to rise, our wetsuits will break down at any time.

The fat man looked at the entrance in front of him, and obviously did not give up, and went to move two more pieces, but after a few clicks, the fat man gasped heavily, because of the change in the pressure of the sea, and our movement in the sea was also hindered.

In desperation, I forced myself to calm down and stared coldly at the reef blocking the entrance.

These reefs have sharp edges and corners, and they are squeezed against each other, and due to their different shapes, they all retain large and small gaps, which are obviously unlikely to appear at the beginning of the construction of the entrance, because this will cause the mausoleum inside to enter the water and destroy the closed structure of the bucket.

Therefore, these caves blocking the reef must have been caused by something that happened later and caused the cave to collapse. The reef is hard in texture, and in order to form such a collapse, it is impossible to deactivate explosives in the sea unless explosives are used, which means that the explosives that cause the collapse of the reef are ignited in the bucket.

The more I analyzed, the clearer my thinking became, and I had a clearer understanding of what I was going to do next.

First of all, this entrance must have been built for a long time to a certain depth in order to meet the needs of a confined structure, and then upwards, forming an 'L' shaped corner to prevent seawater from entering the interior, and after the explosives were detonated, the entire entrance had been blocked by a collapsed reef, and we obviously did not have time to clean such a long entrance.

Secondly, the collapsed reef must have fallen from around the entrance, and after we clean it up now, the diameter of the entrance is one meter, that is, when the entrance has not collapsed, its actual diameter may only be half a meter.

A half-meter hole is obviously impossible to be a real entrance, this place is probably only one of the drainage holes of the closed system, but the builders, in order to prevent fish from slipping through the net, may even deliberately planted 'Comoros carnivorous black algae' on the periphery.

At the beginning, the second uncle may have been hinted by the woman, and he once searched here to clean up this piece of carnivorous black algae, which happened later The scene of black algae floating on the sea happened.

The real entrance is not here.

I figured this out, and felt that the pressure on my body was gradually increasing, so I beckoned the fat man and the others to go upstream, signaling to give up this place.

The fat man knew my inquisitive personality very well, and he didn't understand it, raised his eyebrows, and made a lip shape: What's wrong?

If it had been before, I might have been holding on to this hole and digging all the way to the end, but now, I am not taking my own life, but my two buddies and my most important brother.

I shook my head, I couldn't say much at this time, I only took the lead in swimming back, and at this moment, I found that Zhang Bald Head didn't know when, and only half of his ass was left!

Most of his body poked into the woman's **, leaving only his butt and legs exposed.

The fat man was immediately angry, scolding in his mouth, speaking too fast, and he didn't know what he was scolding.

I was stunned for a moment, and my heart said that this bald head is really not a stuffy oil bottle? This is so fucking obscene, and you can be interested in such an ugly stone woman like a ghost? Doing such a dirty thing under the big seabed?

Immediately afterward, I thumped in my heart.

Wrong! Behind the woman's chest, but the big-headed monster! Could it be that he is bald......

My cold hair almost stood on end, and an ominous premonition arose, and I immediately raised the air pressure gun, and I didn't care about the stronger and stronger water pressure, and desperately swam towards Zhang Bald's hand.

And at this moment, Zhang's bald buttocks suddenly moved, and then, as if he was being pulled by something, the back half of his body was gradually dragged into the back of the woman's **, and gradually only one foot remained, and finally ...... Even the feet are gone.
