Five hundred and seventy-eighth chapter diving

Senior Brother Geng said: "The well water should not be that deep."

I was a little puzzled: "I used a flashlight before, and the light penetrated the water-impermeable layer. The water in the well is at least over a hundred meters, right?"

Senior Brother Geng: "The water on the upper layer of Qi mouth is clear water, and the water on the bottom layer should be very turbid, which will make the light unable to penetrate. Don't worry, the water cannot be too deep, otherwise the external Qi field cannot enter, and the Qi mouth will lose its effect."

While I was talking to Senior Brother Geng, Liu Shangang had already started distributing diving equipment.

Although time hastily, Liu Shangang prepared a lot of things. In addition to compression bottles, cold-proof clothes, mirrors, snorkels, fins, and a jacket-style hard vest. Liu Shangang said that it is a force-adjusting vest used to adjust buoyancy.

Xian'er and Luo Fei took their cold-proof clothes to the backyard. Several of us men sat down around the wellhead and quickly changed into cold-proof clothes.

When Senior Brother Geng and Liu Shangang took off their coats, Liang Houzai put the evil-repelling talisman on their backs, and Liu Shangang applied another layer of waterproof film outside the evil-repelling talisman.

After we packed up, Xian'er and Luo Fei also came back in cold-proof clothes. Liu Shangang distributed waterproof bags to everyone, asking everyone to put the changed clothes and other things in them.

Liu Shangang is indeed much more careful than ordinary people in this kind of thing. I remember that in the early years, he always complained that he was like a logistics person, but whether he complained or not, he was our logistics support. Without him, many things would not go smoothly.

Before going down the well, Liu Shangang hung a steel cable on everyone's waist to ensure that no one would leave the team in the water.

I brought the mirror above and waved to Liu Shangang, then pointed to the wellhead. Seeing that Liu Shangang made an "OK" gesture to me, I drilled into the wellhead face down.

The width of the Ishii is only about one meter. I held the waterproof flashlight with one hand to illuminate the depths, touched the wall of the well with the other hand and slowly dived down.

Senior Brother Geng is right. The water on the upper layer is indeed clear, but after diving for about ten meters, the water becomes very muddy. As I swam down, some small cotton-like particles flipped in the water. I shine it with a flashlight and feel that they are a bit like scales falling off the fish.

Behind me is Senior Brother Geng. When he dived to about twenty meters, he slammed the rope. I turned my head to look at him and saw him pointing to the well wall on the left. Perhaps because he was afraid that I would not be able to immediately use his intention, he stretched out his hand and patted the well wall, and used his other hand to draw out the shape of a door.

I know that Senior Brother Geng asked me to pay attention to whether there was an exit on the well wall. I nodded to him, and Senior Brother Geng also nodded at me.

Then I continued to dive, and occasionally shook the well wall to see if there was an exit.

The water became more and more muddy, and the broken "fish scales" like cotton wool almost completely blocked my vision. The water pressure increased, which made me feel a little breathless.

At this moment, I kept touching the left hand on the well wall and touching it empty. At that time, I realized that Senior Brother Geng had guessed it right again, and there was indeed a hole in the well wall.

Looking at the empty position just now, I could only see a black hole. Then I knocked out the search light, and the light passed through the gap between a large number of "fish scales", illuminating a crack in the well wall.

At this time, I felt someone grabbing my ankle. Senior Brother Geng must have arrived behind me. I turned around and looked at him. I saw him pointing at the landing point of the search light, as if signaling me to go in and take a look.

The crack was relatively narrow, so I carried a compression bottle on my back and used a lot of effort to get in.

At the other end of the crack, there is a circular waterway with a regular shape. The diameter of this waterway is about three or four meters, which is quite wide. It extends horizontally. There seem to be reliefs on the wall of the road, but there are too many "fish scales" in the water, so I can't see what is carved on it.

However, it can be confirmed that this waterway should lead to the tomb.

At this time, Senior Brother Geng got close to the crack, as if he was watching from me, but the visibility in the water was very low, so he must not be able to see anything clearly. I pulled the steel cable on my waist, Senior Brother Geng immediately understood and followed him in.

After he came in, he first looked around, then pointed ahead, signaling me to continue walking forward.

After moving a distance in the waterway, I felt a slight yin energy. As I went deeper and deeper, the yin energy became more and more intense. I was a little worried about Senior Brother Geng and Liu Shangang. I looked back and saw that my vision was completely blocked by the floating "fish scales", and I couldn't see the person behind me at all.

After swimming for a while, the waterway was no longer straight. It began to turn to the lower right. I swam all the way along the direction of the waterway. The bend was very long. I swam for a long time, and the curve of the bend did not change at all. Gradually, I also understood that this was not a bend, but a circular circuit. And while swimming, I could feel that the water pressure became stronger and stronger.

I suddenly began to admire Senior Brother Geng, and he guessed it right again. On this side of the well wall, there was indeed a spiral path that hovered downward.

When I first entered this spiral path, as I went deeper, the water became more and more turbid, but after a while, the water gradually became clearer.

In the second half of the spiral path, a slender vortex appeared in the water, and the "fish scales" were stirred into a stream by the vortex. They first flipped and sank to the ground with the vortex, and then floated along the ground towards the upper half of the spiral path.

I reached out and explored the water close to the ground, which was flowing rapidly upstream of the spiral path.

There are three completely different states in the waterway. Most of the water is in a state of near-static, but the water at the bottom is flowing rapidly, and there are vortexes not far from me.

In my opinion, this is completely contrary to the laws of physics. Regardless of the water flow at the bottom of the spiral path, the vortex alone should be able to stir up the nearby still water. I am so close to it, but I can't feel the water force that moves forward.

At this time, the steel cable on my waist was slammed again. When I turned around, I saw Senior Brother Geng pointing ahead and signaling me to continue moving forward.

I avoided the vortex and continued to swim deeper into the spiral path. Later, I saw several similar vortexes, just like the previous vortex, except that they could roll "fish scales" into a stream, but had no effect on the water in other areas.

The water pressure became increasingly high, and I could clearly feel breathing difficulties and my head began to feel aching. Liu Shangang mentioned "nitrogen drunkenness" before. I don't know what the so-called nitrogen drunkenness symptoms will be, but I know that for those of us who have no diving experience, if we continue to go deeper, it is very likely that there will be danger.

When I turned back to look at Senior Brother Geng, I saw Senior Brother Geng swim quickly in front of me. He pointed to the top of the spiral path and stretched out three fingers at me.

I didn't understand what he meant, so I drew a question mark with my hands.

Senior Brother Geng gestured out an archway and stretched out two fingers toward me.

I probably understand what he meant. He wanted to say, let me pay attention to the top of the spiral path, where I will find three exits, and only the second exit is the way to live.

I nodded and continued to swim forward, while hitting the light of the flashlight on the stone wall at the top of the spiral path.

As the water became clearer, I also saw the reliefs on the stone walls clearly. These reliefs were soaked in water all year round and had been corroded to pieces, but I still vaguely saw that they were some small seal script characters.

After a while, I found the first hole on the stone wall at the top. There was a not too strong suction force around the hole. The water in the spiral path was slowly sucked out from this place.

I looked back at Senior Brother Geng, and Senior Brother Geng shook his head.

Soon, I found the second hole. There was no suction near the hole, and the water around it was still. In front of my sight, there was a very thick vortex. A large number of "fish scales" flipped and sunk along the vortex. I guess the third hole should be above the vortex, and those "fish scales" came out of the hole.

Senior Brother Geng swam to me, patted my shoulder, pointed to the hole on the top of my head, and signaled me to get in.

The entrance of the hole was very narrow, so I could only untie the compression bottle, lift it in my hand, and drilled it in very hard. Fortunately, the hole was very shallow. I swam about two or three meters away and drilled out from the other end of the hole. I used a flashlight to light it and saw a slope in front, and there was a faint reflection of the waves above my head.

After Senior Brother Geng and the others came out, I swam towards the slope, crawled along the slope for a distance, and finally came out of the water.

When the water pressure disappeared, I felt relaxed, but I didn't rush to take off my breathing cover. After my body was a little warmer, I opened my eyes and carefully checked the changes in the Qi field here.

There was a strong yang energy in the air, and the silt atmosphere was also a bit heavy, so it was impossible to determine the air quality.

At this time, Liu Shangang took out an instrument from the waterproof bag. He stood there for a while, looked at the dial, then took off his mask and closed the air valve of the compression bottle.

Seeing his actions, we took off our masks one by one.

Xian'er took out the fox fire lantern, and the faint green fire immediately illuminated the large area.

This is a tomb chamber transformed from a natural cave. A large number of stalactites were cut in half. After years of erosion, the fracture has become very smooth. A thick layer of "fish scales" are piled on the ground, and the air is filled with a heavy smell of mold.

There was a coffin in the center of the tomb. I recognized it at a glance. It was a black sarcophagus.

Senior Brother Geng looked at the black sarcophagus in the center of the tomb and frowned: "There is a Jiuer Tomb at the end of the spiral path... The things that are located at the bottom of the tomb must be extraordinary."

Jiuer Tomb? But I only saw the large tomb chamber in front of me, but I didn’t see the ear chamber. There was no other exit around the tomb chamber.

Liang Houzai, who was standing beside him, also puzzled: "Where is the ear chamber?"

Senior Brother Geng walked to the black sarcophagus without saying a word and walked around the coffin. Before he could take off his fins, he had his legs twitched while walking, looking very strange.

After turning around the black stone tube twice, Senior Brother Geng put his face on the lid of the coffin. I was afraid that he would have an accident, so I took off my fins, took out the green steel sword and Fantian Seal from the waterproof bag, and followed him.

Senior Brother Geng's ears were pressed against the lid of the coffin and he was hitting the coffin with his hands. When I stood beside him, I could hear an empty echo from the coffin.

There should be a secret passage at the bottom of this black sarcophagus.

I asked Senior Brother Geng: "Do you open the coffin?"

Senior Brother Geng waved his hand.

A moment later, he changed his position and knocked on the lid of the coffin again. This time, the sound from the coffin was very dull.
