This idea of punishment is normal.

Not to mention the usual punishment, even Jiao San, who admired Xu Tianchuan to the point of throwing himself to the ground, felt that if Xu Tianchuan really thought so, it would be a bit too exaggerated.

But any normal person thinks that this is impossible, people need to breathe, no matter how large the lung capacity is, how long can they hold their breath? Unless, like a whale, it comes out for a change of breath once in a long time.

Is Xu Tianchuan a normal person?

"Uncle, my water skills are really good, but if I dive, I can hold my breath for two minutes at most."

Xing Chang looked at Xu Tianchuan and said a word in advance.

Anyway, at least for Xing Chang, holding his breath for two minutes is already very good.

But what can you do with these two minutes?

"Shopkeeper Xu, I'm afraid...... I can't dive anymore......"

Jiao San followed up, and endured the pain on his body, feeling that he had more than enough heart but not enough strength.

"San'er, it should be very safe here for the time being, so you just stay on it, Xiao Changzi and I can go down, calculate the time, if the two of us don't come up within two hours, you can go back directly."

Xu Tianchuan looked at Jiao San sitting on the ground and said with a smile.

Two hours?

Xing Chang subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and from his eyes, he could see what he was thinking at this time: "Will it take two hours?" I'm afraid that if I didn't come up for five minutes, Jiao San would be able to go back alone. ”

But before Xing Chang could speak, Xu Tianchuan stretched out his hand and handed Xing Chang two black pills, and said, "These are two Turtle Breath Pills, one can be closed for an hour, and two can be held for just two hours. ”

Turtle Breath Pill?

Can you take a break for an hour?

When Xing Chang and Jiao San heard Xu Tianchuan's words, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they felt very incredible, there is such a magical thing in the world? Although it is a society at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it is impossible not to talk about science at all.

But Xu Tianchuan doesn't see it that way.

The system is there, and what more science is needed.

Not to mention this Turtle Breath Pill, even if the system directly gave away two elixirs, Xu Tianchuan would feel very normal and 'scientific'.

"Uncle, why have I never heard of this Turtle Breath Pill? It's so magical, who made it? ”

Xing Chang took the Turtle Breath Pill, stared at the beads of his eyes, and didn't blink curiously, which can definitely be written into his personal biography.

Although it felt incredible, what Xu Tianchuan said still had a certain degree of convincing power in the hearts of the two.

"Well...... I got it by chance in the ancient tomb, and it happened to come in handy today! ”

Xu Tianchuan made up a sentence casually.

"Shopkeeper Xu, I feel that my current condition should still be able to go into the water......"

Jiao San rolled his eyes at this time, looked at Xu Tianchuan and said.

Of course, Xu Tianchuan knew what Jiao San was thinking, diving was an extremely physically demanding sport, with Jiao San's current situation, let alone diving, even swimming was enough to choke, besides, the two Turtle Breath Pills were given to the maximum effect, and if it was an hour, the time would be too tight.

"You just stay up there, remember what I said, two hours, and if we don't come up in two hours, you just go back!"

"And those things of ours, try to protect them as much as possible, and you must not sell them to foreign devils."

Xu Tianchuan looked at Jiao San and said solemnly, this can be regarded as a clear explanation for future generations.

It's not that Xu Tianchuan is not sure, the ghost knows what is hidden under this inner cavity and where it will lead.

And underwater is not like land, no matter what danger you encounter, you can have a trace of resistance.

But even if you know that life and death are unpredictable, for the red spot curse on your body, in order to find the ghost god, in order to unlock the secret of this ancient tomb and the palace of eternal life, you must go down.

When the words fell, Xing Chang had already taken two Turtle Breath Pills in a row without hesitation, and then took a deep breath.

After that, Xu Tianchuan saw the change in Xing Chang's face and became very surprised, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Xu Tianchuan knew that the Turtle Breath Pill had an effect in Xingchang's body.

"Wait, no matter what happens, be sure to follow me!"

Xu Tianchuan gave another special explanation to Xing Chang.

Xing Chang closed his mouth, nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and did not speak or breathe, for fear that this breath would be broken.

In order to move more conveniently in the water, Xu Tianchuan took off his coat, leaving only a dragon scale soft armor, and then he also took a deep breath, carried the turtle breath gong, and with a 'poof', he plunged into the spring hidden inside.

Xing Chang also made corresponding preparations, wrapped the miner's lamp into a tarp, and then tied it tightly to his forehead, followed closely behind, and plunged head-down into the spring.

This spring water is very cold, but fortunately, Xing Chang has the blood of the unicorn and has a certain resistance in this regard.

This is also one of the main reasons why Xu Tianchuan did not let Jiao San go into the water.

With the coldness of this spring water, Jiao San definitely couldn't bear it, and cramps in his hands and feet were inevitable.

After jumping, Xu Tianchuan kept sneaking down.

It is a perfect circle, almost three meters in diameter, and looks like a deep well as a whole.

Xu Tianchuan's night vision eyes are also effective underwater, and the water is very clear, but no matter how clear the water is, the visibility under the water is still very low, and it is estimated that the visual distance is at most three or five meters away.

On the contrary, the miner's lamp on the head of the torturer is a little more penetrating underwater, and it can detect a distance of about six or seven meters.

Go underwater to explore the ancient tomb, this is really the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.

Not only Xu Tianchuan, but also the first time to punish Chang.

Because of the great danger of exploring the ancient tombs underwater, unless the water is directly drained, a person like Xu Tianchuan who dives directly should be unprecedented, and there should be no one coming later.

What made Xu Tianchuan feel a little surprised was that this inner cave was extremely deep, and when he looked down, it was bottomless and pitch black, as if there was no end.

What's more, because the spring water is constantly gushing upward, it naturally creates a certain amount of resistance, and the further down this resistance becomes, the stronger this resistance becomes, thus increasing the difficulty of diving.

When he reached a certain level, Xu Tianchuan could only hold on to the rocks on both sides with his hands and dive down little by little.

For two hours, Xu Tianchuan felt that time was very tight.

What's more, you have to set aside time to go up.

Little by little, time passed.

Xu Tianchuan has been calculating the depth of the dive in his heart, so that he can accurately reserve the time to go up, and wait until no matter what happens, or what he sees, as long as the time comes, he must get out of the water.

This is Xu Tianchuan's plan.

But plans often don't keep up with change.

When he dive to a depth of about 20 meters, Xu Tianchuan finally saw the bottom!

No!

To be precise, it should be open water, not underwater!

Xu Tianchuan took a breath and dived directly from this channel hidden in the inner eye to the open water at the bottom.

What Xu Tianchuan never expected was that there was an undercurrent in the open water below, and the undercurrent was very turbulent, which directly involved Xu Tianchuan.

"Not good!"

Xu Tianchuan secretly screamed in his heart.

But now it's over, and there is no resistance in this turbulent undercurrent.

Not only Xu Tianchuan, but also Xing Chang, who followed behind, was also swept into the undercurrent.

In a hurry, Xu Tianchuan immediately grabbed Xing Chang's arm, and his body was washed away in one direction with the undercurrent.

As for which direction, even Xu Tianchuan himself didn't know.

Because after being caught in the undercurrent, the whole person lost his center of gravity, and he had no ability to control it at all.

It's like a dead fish that can only be carried away by the current, and the world is spinning!

"How can there be an undercurrent under this river?"

Xu Tianchuan had imagined many possibilities in his heart before, but he didn't budget for this at all.

Where this undercurrent will eventually flow, Xu Tianchuan does not know.

But Xu Tianchuan knows one thing very well, if he can't go up for ventilation within the limited time, it will definitely be cold.

Fortunately, this undercurrent did not last very long.

When the undercurrent slowly stopped, Xu Tianchuan also reached out and grabbed a round rock at the bottom of the river to stabilize his body.

Xing Chang also hugged a cylindrical rock with both hands for the first time, and the expression on his face was a little shocked.

Although there was no way to communicate underwater, from Xing Chang's expression and eyes at this time, Xu Tianchuan could basically read Xing Chang's words: "His grandmother's ......"

But now is definitely not the time to scold your mother.

Xu Tianchuan immediately looked around with his night vision eyes.

Although the visibility under the water is very low, you can see very clearly with your night vision eyes.

This is not like a pillar of miner's light on the head of the torturer, although the searchlight is far away, but there is only a circular pillar of light, unlike on land, the light can reflect in all directions.

I saw that this water area is very open, at least in the visual range is open, the bottom of the water is sparsely growing these aquatic plants, all kinds of fish are swimming against the bottom of the water, all very large, some even close to three or four meters long.

"This is the underwater world?"

Xu Tianchuan, who had this experience for the first time, felt very novel, although it was not as dazzling as the underwater world, but it was still fresh.

In addition, Xu Tianchuan also noticed that there was a sunken ship not far away, and it was still a building ship, which was very big!

Intuitively, judging from some of the decorative patterns of the building boat, it should be between the Tang and Song dynasties, and it should have nothing to do with the ancient tomb you are looking for, but it just appeared by coincidence.

At this moment, suddenly Xing Chang next to him stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Xu Tianchuan's clothes.

Xu Tianchuan immediately turned his gaze back to Xing Chang.

Xing Chang hurriedly pointed to the cylindrical rock next to him.

Xu Tianchuan's eyes just now noticed the wreck, and then he took a serious look at the cylindrical rock next to his finger.

To be precise, this should not be a cylindrical rock, but a stone pillar with exquisite reliefs on it!

"Column!"

Xu Tianchuan concluded at a glance that this was a pillar!

The so-called columns are the supporting columns of some buildings.

"Could it be that there are some architectural ruins under this water?"

Xu Tianchuan immediately thought of this in his heart.

Because it is impossible for a pillar to appear here for no reason.

It can be seen from the exquisite relief on the column that the content of the relief is thundercloud pattern and bird pattern, although there is no text, but from the relief decoration on the column alone, it can be basically determined that it should be from the Shang Dynasty.

Because the totem of the Shang Dynasty was the Nine Heavens Xuanniao, the merchants believed that the Xuanniao was their ancestor, so on many important objects, there would be patterns about the Xuanniao, or something related to the Xuanniao.

In order to be more sure of this, Xu Tianchuan swam up along this column.

Sure enough.

The top of the column is broken.

And judging from the fracture mouth, it should be a natural fracture, not a man-made cause.

At the same time, Xing Chang turned his head to look around again, and the pillar of miner's lamp tied to his forehead followed and scanned around.

As a result, the same cylinder is faintly visible on the left-hand side, but it is not very clear because the distance is a bit far and it is just the limit of the search's range.

In order to determine its authenticity, Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang immediately swam over.

An identical upright indeed.

It's just that this column is much lower than the broken position just now, less than two meters from the bottom of the river, and the mouth of the fracture is also very natural, and it is also a relief of thunder patterns and Nine Heavens Xuanniao on it.

The distance between the two columns is six or seven meters apart, which is also more in line with the columns of the building.

At this time, Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang invariably exchanged glances with each other.

When the two looked at each other, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts, so they all dived to the bottom of the water at the same time and used their hands to pick up the mud at the bottom of the water.

As the silt at the bottom of the river was removed, the surrounding water instantly became turbid.

Xu Tianchuan's gaze in front of him also became much lower, because he didn't wear goggles, so in order to avoid muddy water from entering his eyes, he could only change positions frequently and try to lightly start.

After peeling away the silt at the bottom of the water, which was about a few tens of centimeters deep, Xu Tianchuan's hand touched a rock.

No!

Not a rock!

To be precise, it should be a polished rock with clear water chestnut angles, and even fine patterns on it, and when the area is expanded, obvious fracture surfaces can be seen.

As a result, Xu Tianchuan was 100% sure of his inner guess.

This is an underwater architectural ruin, dating from the Shang period, about nearly 4,000 years ago!

Because it has been submerged in the water for too long, the surface is covered with a thick layer of silt.

Of course, there is a more reliable speculation that this place was originally without water 4,000 years ago, and that the building collapsed before the water appeared, and was buried with a certain amount of earth before the water appeared.

After all, there have been 4,000 years of geological changes, and geography experts may not be able to say accurately.

The only thing that is certain is that the building must have been built when there was no water.

Not to mention 4,000 years ago, even today, there is absolutely no strength to build such a large-scale building under such deep water!
