The time to get down the cave was arranged at noon the next day, but to be honest, according to Zhang Guozhong's estimate, the depth of the hole is not much different from that of the night. According to Sun Ting's analysis, this hole is not only a product of a certain high-tech excavation tool, but also has some traces of professional archaeology. At least the sloping hole in the small cave is very similar to the "Thomson's simple explosion method". Logically speaking, this is a common method used by professional archaeologists in Europe and the United States (especially Europe). If it is in Egypt, digging ancient tombs can prevent transitional damage to the monuments, but if placed in the deep mountains, its effect is nothing more than saving time and engineering.

The next day at 11:30 noon, outside the cave.

After fixing the rope outside the cave, Zhang Guozhong took the Juque Sword and got the first to go down the cave. Then, Lao Liutou, Alxun, Sun Ting and Qin Ge, and the big hand Liu and Zhang Yicheng were arranged to wait outside the cave. In order to avoid accidents, the "Tianlu" dagger was left to Zhang Yicheng.

It was similar to what Sun Ting thought. This vertical thief hole had obvious traces of mechanical excavation. The diameter of the hole was about 80 cm, and the four walls were very smooth. It had to be used with hands and feet to hold it. If it weren't for the professional mountain climbing rope brought by Qin Ge that had an adjustable mechanical snap buckle, it would have been a very hard work to get the hole down.

I don’t know how deep it was. It was not until the lighting lamp at the entrance of the cave turned into soybeans that Zhang Guozhong went down to a larger space. He turned on the flashlight and saw that it seemed like a secret room, with a height of about ten meters, similar to the treasure cave in Bashan. It seemed that it was also repaired with a natural cave. The bottom of the secret room was full of water, and it was so gloomy that I didn’t know how deep it was. The moisture in the cave blew on his face, so he followed the bathhouse. "Damn it...

There is still water in such a deep hole..." Zhang Guozhong secretly felt an ominous premonition. According to Maoshan Technique's theory, the deeper the water, the greater the yin energy. If the water is too high and the guy in his hand has to play in the water, wouldn't the power be greatly reduced? If you want to go back, Old Liu's head has already come down on his head, "Senior brother, there is water underneath, I don't know the depth, why don't we go back..." Zhang Guozhong shouted at the top of his head.

"Look at how deep it is!" When Zhang Guozhong shouted, Old Liu tightened his head and hung his body in the middle of the thief hole. "If it is too deep, go back!"

After hearing what Old Liu said, Zhang Guozhong pressed the clip and his body slowly fell into the water. Unexpectedly, the water surface just exceeded his ankle and felt the ground with his feet. "What a fucking waste of emotions..." Zhang Guozhong unbuttoned the snap and carefully illuminated the secret room with a flashlight. He found that the stolen hole was hitting the middle of the entire secret room. The area of ​​the entire secret room was about two basketball courts, just like the treasure cave in Bashan. There seemed to be a fog in the air, but the concentration was much smaller than that of Bashan. He shone the four walls with the flashlight.

"Get down! Shui Gang has no feet!" Zhang Guozhong shouted to the top. After a while, Old Liu, Alxun, Sun Ting and Qin Ge all went down to the secret room.

"It's not a treasure hole, right?" Old Liu head fired a flashlight and started to shine in the secret room. "No! In terms of the size of the thief hole, the people we used to come here didn't seem to be for treasure. This small hole can't take anything except people!" Sun Ting said, "But it is definitely not an ancient tomb! First, the ancient tomb is not that big, and second, there are no murals here and no carvings. If such a huge amount of engineering is spent on building the tomb, it wouldn't be so rough!"

"I know it's not an ancient tomb!" Old Liu said, "Which country's emperor buried himself here, but he really thought that his life in the world was too comfortable. After his death, he wanted to go to the grassroots level to experience life..."

"Oh...I found something strange..." When Lao Liu and Sun Ting were talking, Zhang Guozhong kept shining around with a flashlight, "There is no door, why are they coming down? I doubt they dug the wrong one..." As he was speaking halfway, he suddenly heard a pounce of water beside him, "Who!?" Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu pulled out the guy at the same time, Qin Ge and Sun Ting picked up the guns and almost pulled the trigger. Several beams of flashlights instantly gathered at the place where the sound was made, "I! Don't shoot!" Under the flashlight, Alxun fluttered a few times and "climbed" from the water, "I'm scared to death, the water here is very deep..."

"How deep is it?" Zhang Guozhong stepped forward and pulled Alxun up.

"I don't know, I'm gone anyway..." Alxun said while taking off his clothes, "I said these ancient people are really bad..."

"I think... it's not just a loss..." Qin Ge put away his gun, walked to Elxun, and extended the flashlight into the water. Only then did everyone realize that the water under his feet seemed to be a little clearer than he thought. The flashlight could illuminate at least half a meter under the water. "I think the place we are staying should be a high platform. If I guess correctly, this place might be an ancient altar, and there should be stairs leading down! And the exit here should be underwater!" After that, Qin Ge began to follow the place where Elxun fell to look for the so-called "stairs". After hearing Qin Ge said this, everyone also began to look for Qin Ge's appearance.

It turned out that the place where everyone was standing was indeed a square high platform. The deep water areas on both sides were about four or five meters wide, and there were more in front and behind. Just the opposite direction of Ai Xun's fall into the water, Zhang Guozhong really found the so-called "staircase", which was about twenty centimeters wide, but it was very steep. He stretched his arm into the water and tried it. The drop of each step was at least thirty centimeters.

"Finished!" As Zhang Guozhong shouted, everyone gathered over. "I'll go down and try it! The clothes are wet anyway!" Alxun was about to go down the steps without saying a word. "Wait!" Zhang Guozhong grabbed Alxun, "The water is too deep, and there may be danger. Besides, the hole has been drilled out of that thing, so let's go back first..."

"It should be nothing wrong..." Qin Ge said, "President Zhang, do you think those things can swim?"

"This..." Qin Ge's question really caught Zhang Guozhong. Except for the three evil spirits in Wuling Mountain that seemed to be able to slap a few times, there is no record of those resentful knowing how to swim in Maoshan Technique. Besides, if the corpse is really soaked in the water, it may have been soaked before the corpse is lifted, so how could it be gone to harm others?

"I think those people before us should have escaped unscrupulously. If they didn't go out, at least the rope they came down should be left... I think that thing might have been elsewhere, and by chance it just drilled into that hole..."

"It makes sense..." Old Liu supported Qin Ge for the first time, "The yin energy is heavy here, and it leaks the yin energy. Maybe it will lead those things... Come on, Brother Ai, even though that's it, it's not wrong, take this..." Before Zhang Guozhong could speak, Old Liu stuffed the seven-star sword to Alxun, and Qin Ge took out a mountain climbing rope from his backpack and tied it up with Alxun. In this way, Zhang Guozhong had no words. He was originally to investigate the cause of death of the Liao couple. This is good. The only "corpse" related to the cause of death made the two of them say that they came in by chance elsewhere...

Picking up the Seven Star Sword and turning on the flashlight, Alxun stepped into the water step by step. After a few steps, the water stopped reaching the neck. "Pull the rope, I'll go down!" After taking a deep breath, Alxun suddenly pierced under the water. The light of a flashlight was shaking around the water surface, becoming darker and darker. After more than ten seconds, the climbing rope in Qin Ge's hand had already been taken by Alxun for more than ten meters. "It seems to be quite deep..." Qin Ge frowned while undulating the rope, "What is this for? How did the altar be so deep in ancient times? What was the other side of the altar? How did ancient people come in?"

"When Brother Ai comes up later, let's ask him how deep the water is, it's not difficult to guess the dynasty of this altar..." Old Liu lit a cigarette and started to look like a man in a vernacular language. "The method of altar prospered from the Western Zhou Dynasty and declined from the Later Han Dynasty. According to legend, before King Wu punished Zhou, Duke Zhou set up a 'Thousand Chronicle* Altar' in Taibai Mountain to see the will of heaven. It was thirty battles high and twelve battles in front of the Later Han Dynasty. When Zhuge Kongming borrowed the east wind, he set up a seven-star altar in Nanping Mountain. It was only nine feet high and nine feet high as the Han rule. It's only about two meters long to now. Then he won't get that thing... Just like this big brother, when the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese devils, he had to carry the phone on his back, and now he could hold it in his pocket..."

"So that's it, Mr. Liu is really smart..." When the patron talked to Old Liu, Qin Ge didn't pay attention to the rope in his hand. He saw that the rope was moving faster and faster, until Zhang Guozhong found something was wrong. "Why hasn't Mr. Ai come up for so long?" It only takes two minutes for ordinary people to hold their breath at most. It's almost done at this moment, but not only did not have any movement under the water, Qin Ge's rope was moving faster and faster. "Oh!" Qin Ge then paid attention to the rope in his hand. The roll of rope was fifty meters, and most of it had been put down at this moment.

Subconsciously, Qin Ge wanted to pull the rope back. It didn't matter if he used force. The originally loose rope suddenly became tense. With a thump, a huge force pulled Qin Ge into the water. "Mr. Qin!" When Zhang Guozhong reacted, Qin Ge had already sunk into the water. "You are waiting for me here! If I haven't come back for five minutes, I will go up by myself!" After that, Zhang Guozhong jumped out of the water.

After getting into the water, I realized that the visibility under the water was far worse than I imagined. Although I was standing with Qin Ge, I couldn't see any of Qin Ge's shadows at this moment. I had no choice but to stick my head out of the water and change my breath, Zhang Guozhong also followed the "stairs" to sneak forward in front of the altar.

"Damn, what is this?" After diving down four or five meters, Zhang Guozhong reached the last staircase, and there seemed to be some cages on both sides of the staircase. The railings were about the thickness of fingers, the length, width and height were similar to the coffin. The black slag inside could not see clearly what it was. Although he was curious, the life and death of the two living people were uncertain at this moment. Zhang Guozhong had no intention of observing it carefully. He kicked the stairs with his feet and swam forward as quickly as possible...
