I could clearly hear the sound of water rushing in the distance.

It was clear that the water did not stop rushing.

I went to the stone door and reached out to grope for the gap in the door.

The stone door card here is very tight.

The stone gate has a concave shape, and with the protrusion on the wall, all the water outside is blocked from the stone door.

The most important thing is.

There was air in this place, and I was in the cave, and I could clearly feel my breathing, and it was smooth and unhindered.

"Fatty, where are you?"

I shouted into the darkness ahead, but I didn't get a response from Cui Hao.

I pulled out my flashlight and pointed it at the front to take a closer look.

The darkness in front was unusually deep, and the river was surging forward, presumably Cui Hao should have been washed to the front by the water.

I immediately got up and took two steps forward, following the trail of the current.

I was calling Cui Hao's name all the way.

But this fat man didn't know who washed him into which corner, I walked forward for dozens of meters or so, and I didn't even see him.

"The water was so strong just now, and the fat man didn't pull the wall next to him, could he be hit by the water and knocked out of the wall."

I think it's very likely.

I stepped up my pace, quickly searching every corner around me, for fear that the fat man would not be able to see under the water.

Finally.

Just as I passed a corner.

I felt like my foot was kicking something.

I quickly reached down and pulled the thing up.

I suddenly saw Cui Hao, whose face was soaked and pale.

His face was pale, and he had already fainted.

At this time, Cui Hao was angry, I don't know if he choked too much water, and his heart pulse was extremely weak.

The ground around was full of water, and there was no dry place at all.

I could only sit on the ground, take Cui Hao in my arms, press his chest hard, and help Cui Hao spit water.

After my repeated tossing.

Cui Hao finally spit out a mouthful of water, opened his eyes and looked at me.

He rubbed his neck and sat up, and after looking at the situation around him, he couldn't help but complain.

"I'm going, I'm too unlucky, right? I've choked on water once, and I'm drowning again. ”

He looked at me, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Little Manye, you have to give me a big reward after you go back, I was born and died with you, and I almost died under this ground twice."

I smiled and nodded and patted Cui Hao's shoulder.

"Well said."

I pulled him up and pointed around.

"The water poured in, but there should be an exhaust vent underneath the ground, and there was air. We don't have to worry about survival. ”

I pointed to the stone gate where we came.

"Since we can move here, then we don't have to worry too much about getting out, and we'll go and see how the stone door opens from the inside later."

We have food in our backpacks, even if it's because the stone gate is trapped underneath, as long as there is fresh air around, then we can live.

Don't worry about being trapped underground.

Cui Hao nodded at me, curiously holding up his flashlight to look around.

"The design here is so ingenious that after the water rushes in, it can even close the stone door in time."

I nodded, looking around.

I noticed that the water had dropped a lot, and there should be another drain in this place, and it was a one-way drain.

Each time it is opened, the flushed water drains through the drain until calm is restored.

I looked around and took a closer look.

We were in a long stone tunnel that spread out to the front, and we didn't know where it would end.

The cold stone walls are full of traces of artificial carving.

I don't know who set up such a catacomb here, and for what purpose.

I pointed ahead.

"Fatty, let's keep going, don't stop yet. Look at what's ahead of you and find your way there. ”

Cui Hao nodded at me and said no more.

He silently followed behind me, carefully observing every corner around him.

The cave tunnel ahead is quite boring, with only a long stone path and not even a bit of ornamentation in it.

But after we continued twenty or thirty meters, the passage finally came to an end.

A black shadow faintly appeared in front of us, about a meter high and nearly two meters high.

The dark shadow was cowering in the corner, and due to his relatively hidden position, there were stone walls on both sides.

So our flashlight can't directly shine on the surface of this thing, and we can't see what this black shadow is.

I raised the dagger, explained to Cui Hao, and cautiously approached the black shadow.

Cui Hao followed behind me and silently helped me back.

The moment we came to the shadow, I lifted my dagger and stabbed it at it.

When there was a loud bang.

My dagger flicked back as if it had been stabbed into a stone.

I held up my flashlight and shone it into the shadows.

It turned out to be a coiled dragon carved out of stone.

There is a stone tablet standing underneath the coiling dragon's body.

The dragon's body coiled upwards around the stone monument until it reached a height of about two meters.

Because the stone carving is so delicate and delicate, when viewed from a distance, it looks like a figure standing in place.

Just now, I was mistaken, thinking that this person was in the corner and preparing to sneak attack, so he suddenly raised his dagger and stabbed it.

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my head to look at Cui Hao beside me.

"It's not a living person, it's a sculpture."

We went to the sculpture and took a closer look at the scales of the green dragon.

Under the ground.

This green dragon has appeared a few times.

At this time, the text finally appeared on the stele.

In order to make it easier for me to read ancient books, Aunt Hua taught me a lot of ancient characters.

Most of the text on it is legible, and I can read what is written on it.

"In ancient times, there was a green dragon spirit beast, which was one of the four elephants."

I stared at the line in shock.

There are not many words recorded on it, just 11 words.

But from this point of view, it is the green dragon that is one of the four elephants.

People often shout that the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, the red bird on the top and the Xuanwu on the bottom.

This is the four-elephant spirit animal.

The four of them are in charge of an elephant, and this green dragon represents Taihao and the divine beasts of the Seven Houses of the East.

It used to be written down.

A passage is recorded in the third volume of Huainanzi.

The nobles of the gods are no more valuable than the green dragon. Therefore, the green dragon may be the head of the four elephants.

In other words, this green dragon is the head of the other four spirit beasts, and the meaning it represents is extremely complex, which means that this may be a dragon vein.

"Could it be that this underground palace, as well as all kinds of eight Dingshan stone tablets, are all the posthumous mansions of a certain emperor?"

I looked at the carving of the green dragon that spiraled upward, and I couldn't help but say my speculation.

Cui Hao stared at the carved stele in surprise, and actually reached out to move the stele vigorously, wanting to move this thing aside.

I grabbed him by the arm.

"What are you doing here?"

Cui Hao looked at the stele, his eyes full of regret.

"There's no way to move this thing, it's too heavy, and if there's a way to get it away, it can definitely be sold for a good price."

This guy has simply fallen into the eyes of money.

How could this huge stone stele be easily moved by manpower?

Plus it's all water outside.

At that time, if the two of us really move this stele out, it will only sink under the water, and there will be no other result.

I glared at Cui Hao, turned my head and continued walking towards the depths of the cave.

He is still there moving the stele and has clearly not given up.

I shouted at Cui Hao.

"If you don't leave, I'll leave first, and I'll leave you here alone, in case of any danger, I can't take care of you."

Cui Hao could only reluctantly give up the stele, turned his head to catch up with me, and grabbed my shoulder.

"Little Manye, don't be so ruthless. Didn't I help you get through the several life-and-death situations before and after? I just want some baby, you can't help me. ”

I sighed and pointed ahead.

"Let's keep walking, if there's any good treasure in front of you, I'll naturally help you get it back, that's all right, right? Don't stare at the things that can't be handled, even if you pry them off, you won't be able to take them away! ”

I didn't say more, and quickly dragged Cui Hao forward along the passage.

All kinds of carvings have begun to appear on the stone walls around us.

The green dragon hovered into the clouds, and the scene of thousands of dust on the ground gradually appeared in front of it.

A dragon chair is carved on it, and above it sits a pot-bellied man.

It should be the emperor at that time.

"Sure enough, this should be the Dragon's Lair."

It seems that a certain emperor should have built such an underground palace here, but I don't know why this emperor actually set up a stone monument on Jozan.

The purpose of this Jozan stele is to suppress the evil spirits in the surrounding area.

Because it is used to suppress evil shattering, there is a premise.

That is, there must be something extremely dangerous in this tomb.

Now it seems.

It is precisely because of the extremely strange monsters in this tomb that exude a sinister aura, so all the ghosts on the entire Yin and Yang Tomb are customized.

As I walked through it, I was more and more amazed.

Judging by the murals on the walls, it seems that the emperor has taken the initiative to set up his tomb here, and he is pressing hundreds of ghosts and thousands of demons.

It seems that the emperor specially instructed his warlocks to use his tomb after his death as a stone monument to suppress the evil spirits in this place.

Moreover, the evil cult here seems to have existed for thousands of years, and it was a mass grave a long time ago.

It wasn't until later that after wars and several turmoils, it completely became a place where evil gathered.
