At this moment, something suddenly stumbled under my feet, and I thought to myself, could it be an oxygen cylinder again? However, when I crouched down and touched it, it was a long, thick chain.

"There are also here, where are there so many chains?" Ciwang asked.

He lifted his hands, and the sound of metal clashing was endless.

I hurriedly turned on the flashlight and shone it under my feet, only to realize that we didn't know when we had left the muddy water. The cave in front of me is much narrower than the previous big dragon ball, and the ground is full of flowing living water, and it is not as cold as before.

The rough surface was covered with intricate iron chains, each as thick as my wrist, and the fat man tugged at them several times, but he couldn't drag them out of the water. The chain was laid all the way forward, leading to a narrow hole in front of it.

"What's going on?" I threw off the chain and walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the water.

"I've never heard of a chain hanging in a tomb, and it's not a prison, so it's still a ghost who locks people with so many chains?" Deyang Ram also expressed his opinion.

"This tomb at the bottom of the lake is not what we originally thought, it must be famous and hidden secrets." I pondered, looked up at the grotto, and hesitated: "I have always had the feeling that this is not a simple tomb, the tomb is equivalent to the home of the tomb owner after his death, there is no reason to arrange the home like this, right?" ”

"That's what I mean," Ciwang kicked the chain in the water with his foot, "In the Chinese's concept, the feng shui of the Yin Mansion is related to the wealth and safety of future generations, and the death of people is the most important thing." The system of the tomb in front of me does not meet the specifications of the prince's mausoleum, and the second does not meet the requirements of the tomb in the traditional concept, which is really strange. ”

"Could it be that we made a mistake," Deyang Ram said suddenly, "Maybe this place is not buried at all the so-called lake bottom tomb, from the beginning, all this Yun Ding'e also said, this is just a kind of legend circulating in Heiyun Village, Yun Ding'e and Yun Dingxiang are just listening to the oral accounts of the previous generation." But who knows if the original rumors are true. ”

"Lin Kun, don't say it, it's still like that when you hear Deyang Ram say this." Ciwang also agrees with Deyang Ram's view.

I said in my heart, is it possible that we have tossed in vain this trip, and after tossing for a long time, this lake is just an empty prison? But this doesn't make sense, if this is not the tomb at the bottom of the lake, or simply not the ancestral tomb of Heiyun Village, then what is this guy from Yunnan doing here? Could he have been mistaken?

"Is there anything else we don't know about?" I was meditating for a long time, when suddenly there was a muffled cracking sound coming from afar, and a constant "click" sound came from under our feet, and I didn't have time to think about it, but I felt that the whole cave suddenly shook violently.

"Not good! The cave is collapsing! Deyang Ram exclaimed and pulled me back into reality.

A few of us stood abruptly in the middle of the rock road, without covering our front and back, so we had to cover our heads and roll on the spot, shrink to the side of the wall, and stick to the wall.

"What's going on? It can't be an earthquake, right? "I was shaken from side to side, fell into the water, and clasped the chains, holding all my weight to the chains.

The Hengduan Mountains are in a seismic zone, and it is not new for a few earthquakes to occur once in a while. It is also possible that the long-term invasion of the lake waves caused a local landslide caused by the fracture of the rock mass itself.

Sure enough, the commotion didn't last long before it stopped, and we had just gotten up from the limestone pile when we heard two gunshots not far away.

I was taken aback and became even more sure that there was someone else in the cave.

"Hidden!" I immediately told everyone to hold their breath and curl up in a corner.

But after hearing the gunshot, a heart-rending beast roar broke through the dark rock passage and resounded throughout the tomb.

We couldn't tell what was going on for a while, so we stepped up and ran wildly in the narrow passage where the ropes lay horizontally.

"What the hell, it's so miserable?" I couldn't help but ask.

"There are only a few of us in this cave, something must have happened." Ciwang said.

"I've never heard of anyone making such a terrible sound." Deyang Ram said.

"Don't talk nonsense, there's only that old man left here besides us......" Ciwang became a little timid.

"Don't even talk, what's the use of guessing." I made a silent gesture, "Strange, why is Yu'er missing?" ”

As we spoke, we had come to the end of the cave, where the four walls were built smoothly, which was a rare artificial trace of our journey.

I saw that there was a hole in the corner of the south wall. I crawled over and took a look, the hole was straight down, and the incision was in a semicircle, and at first glance it was a robbery hole made by a skilled tomb robber.

I pointed to the water trail at the entrance of the cave and said: "This hole has just been drilled not long ago, and it can make a hole in the half-flooded stone wall. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry down and ask him to look good!" Ciwang urged.

I took the flashlight, first chose a stone and threw it into the cave, and the sound of landing came immediately, saying: "It seems that this is a thief cave that goes straight up and down, and the distance is not long." I'll go down first, you wait on it, and after I go down, flash the flashlight three times to make a signal, explain that everything is safe, and you come down again. ”

"Okay." Ciwang nodded.

After explaining, I slowly slid down the mouth of the thief hole. Because of its small size, the stone fell very easily, and when I came to climb it myself, I realized that it was not easy to climb down. The thickness of this stone wall is very amazing, and I don't know what method the other party used to make such a straight thief hole.

I was constantly scratched by the rubble in the hole, and it was very difficult for me to move. When he finally saw the entrance of the cave, he heard a sound from below. I hurriedly turned off my flashlight, and propped my body in the hole with both hands and feet in parallel, not daring to move.

After a while, there was a faint conversation between the two men below. One of them is more muffled, the other is hoarse.

My heart rose to my throat.

"Boss, this shouldn't be the place we are looking for, the legend may be fake, and the real tomb has not been found."

"It's a pity that the legend of the tomb at the bottom of the lake turned out to be fake." Another deep voice rang out, "However, even if the tomb at the bottom of the lake is fake, this secret passage must be real, but we have not yet found out where it really leads." ”

"According to the intelligence analysis we have gathered, this secret passage is connected to Heiyun Village, the Forbidden Land, the Great Lonely Mountain and the Little Lonely Mountain, if it really exists, will it ......?"

"You mean to say...... Little Lonely Mountain? ”

"Boss, I'm just guessing."

"No, no, no, your guess is very accurate, this place in Xiaogushan is too mysterious, everything in Heiyun Village has nothing to do with it, but it is just there, everything that exists is reasonable, yes, it must be like this."

"Then I'll immediately order to go down and go to Xiaogu Mountain." The hoarse voice paused, "What to do with this dog?" ”

"Hehehehe," a deep voice let out a long laugh, and then said with interest, "Those guys in Heiyun Village, guarding the five secret techniques but only wasting it, are simply innocent, just leave it here, and be with that half-dead monster." ”

I estimated that Yu'er was most likely controlled by others and fainted. The person who was called the boss in the conversation was probably Yun Nannan's kid, and I continued to eavesdrop on their conversation, only to hear Yun Nannan regretfully: "If you want to stop me with a dog, you are self-righteous and stupid." Let's go. ”

Yun Nannan snorted a few times to show that he was extraordinary, and then there were compliments from his subordinates and the sound of departing footsteps. I held back in the thief cave for a while, always afraid that they would go and come back. After waiting for about ten minutes, I jumped out of the hole.

As soon as I landed, I called the bright oil lamp and shook my eyes.

I got used to it, and found that this was a square building five or six square away, I looked up to see where I fell, and found that the top was the zenith of the arc row, which was in line with the ancient people's saying that the sky was round and the place was round, but there was no trace of the coffin in all directions.

It was surrounded by thick brick walls, one of which had a copper and iron door, as if to seal something on the other side. The three copper lamps are hung high on the edge of the wall, and the lamp oil inside looks like it is new.

I looked at the entrance to the tomb, and there was a curtain of water hanging high, and I didn't know where it led. In this way, it seems that Yun Nannan really did not go the same way as us, but used the most primitive way to directly hit a thief hole.

I checked Yu'er, who was unconscious in the corner of the wall, apparently stunned.

I shook my flashlight upwards and flashed it three times to signal that it was safe below.

It didn't take long for Ciwang to take the lead in coming down from the thief cave, followed by Deyang Ram and Caiyun. After they landed safely, they looked at each other in this empty tomb.

"Lin Kun, what about them?"

"Gone."

"Where to go?"

"Little Lonely Mountain."

"Little Lonely Mountain?"

"Yes, this shouldn't be the location of the ancestral grave." I was a little depressed, "Now they're ahead of us again." ”

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and chase it."

"Wait a minute, I just heard what they said, there is no human and no ghost here, but this place is empty, there is nothing?"

"People are not ghosts, ghosts are not ghosts? Could it be that howl? ”

"It should be, maybe it's the presence of this thing that made them lose their oxygen cylinders."

"Look for it." Deyang Ram seemed to know what was going on in my heart, so he searched for it first.

At this moment, Caiyun suddenly pointed to a copper wall facing the water curtain and said, "Brother Lin Kun, come and see, it seems that this place is ...... Someone! ”

"Anyone?!" I couldn't help but sweat on my head, held my breath, and slowly approached the copper wall, only to see a thin crack in the wall that I don't know when someone exploded, and when I got closer, I could feel a slight fishy wind rolling out of it.

I took a few steps forward, and heard a faint gasp peeking through the cracks.

"You all stand back." I took a deep breath with cold hands and feet.

With that, I put on the slit and looked into the copper wall.
