After I finished shouting, I waited patiently for a reply.
Sure enough, Ciwang's voice was soon heard: "Lin Kun, have we been nailed into the coffin?"
As expected, we were all nailed in. The two coffins were probably not too far apart. I covered my ears with my hands, gathered enough breath and said to him: "Uncle Ciwang, this coffin is fake, we have to
Find a way out."
"Lin Kun, we were pushed down by Yu'er. Has this dog become a spirit?"
"I don't know! If you want to know, you have to go out first!"
I was just thinking about how to get out of this broken coffin when I heard a "creaking" noise above my head, and then a ray of light came in through the gap between the coffins.
I knew someone was opening the coffin outside, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In the past, I did the physical work of opening coffins to make money, and others would just lie in the coffin and wait for me to inspect it. Now I'm lying in it myself, being watched by others.
When someone breaks in from the outside, it feels really depressing.
With a "creak" sound, the coffin lid had been moved away from the outside.
But when I opened my eyes, there was no one there. Just as I was wondering, I quickly jumped out of the coffin with my legs crossed.
Only then did he realize that it was Yu'er squatting beside the coffin.
"Yu'er? What are you doing!"
However, just when I was about to argue with this beast, I accidentally discovered that we were in a cave, and there were several identical black wooden coffins parked on the ground next to it.
I was too lazy to talk nonsense to this dog, so I hurried to open the coffin. When I opened it, I saw that Ciwang's face was pale and he almost fainted. Deyang Ram was fine, but he was just a little out of breath. Caiyun followed him.
She was like a fine person, lying quietly in the coffin waiting for me to save her.
"You said you are a dog, what are you doing? Is it fun?" I scolded Yu'er, regardless of whether it understood or not, and pinched Ciwang. He coughed for a long time and finally woke up.
However, the more I scolded him, the smarter he became, and he seemed to be very happy, and started to jump up and down, as if he was showing off his abilities.
A few of us were actually teased by a dog, which was really unbelievable.
But then I came to my senses. A dog has no hands. It can push us into the water, but it cannot nail us into a coffin and get us out of the coffin.
"Yu'er, how did you do it?"
Yu'er called out twice, as if she could understand what I was saying, and then ran to the corner. I looked over and found that there were several mechanical devices like handles there. I tried to move them, and then a chain came from above.
It falls quickly and locks the coffin accurately.
I suddenly understood that Yu'er relied on these devices to put us into the coffin and get us out of it.
"This dog is really clever." Ciwang couldn't help but admire him.
"But what is your purpose in doing this?"
At this time, Yu'er knelt beside me and kept rubbing her neck against my legs. I looked down and found something stuffed in its collar. The next look, it turned out to be a small bamboo tube.
There was a small note stuffed in the bamboo tube.
"Hello, little friend Lin Kun, I did this out of necessity. Although what Yun Ding'e said is mostly true, entering the tomb at the bottom of the lake through a secret passage is just a rumor. Yu'er and I live on Dagushan
After decades here, I know every plant and tree very well. Yu'er and I visited this tomb at the bottom of the lake in the early years. If we didn't use these coffins to guide the way, none of you would be able to enter.
Come."
"So that's it. No wonder Yun Dingxiang had to let us take Yu'er with us in the first place. It turned out to be for this reason."
"Is this the Tomb at the Bottom of the Lake?"
"It shouldn't be wrong."
We never expected that the method of entering the tomb would be like this.
"They shouldn't know about such a secret method in Yunnan, right?" Deyang Ram asked.
Her mentioning this reminded me. It is very unlikely that Yunnan knew the entrance to the Lake Tomb. If he wanted to come in, he might have taken another way.
However, now that I ask Yu'er, it is obviously unlikely that she will know the answer, and Yun Dingxiang did not mention this, which means that he does not know where the other entrance is.
"Do you think it's possible that this tomb at the bottom of the lake is not the final destination, but that the real tomb is actually somewhere else?" Deyang Ram said.
"You mean, this is actually part of the secret passage?"
Deyang Ram nodded.
I counted the years and found that the owner of the tomb had been dead for more than two thousand years. The entire tomb was not even up to the level of an ancient tomb. In the era of war and chaos, the people who were most likely to be brought into the tomb were the few people the deceased had saved during his lifetime.
gold jewelry.
However, not even a single piece of jewelry was seen here, and it really didn’t look like the tomb of the ancestor of Heiyun Village.
"The purpose of this trip to Yunnan is to steal the poisonous poison left on the body of the tomb owner, so it is impossible to steal any gold, silver and jewelry. Your guess may be right."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly find the way out?"
At this time, Yu'er started to get excited again, shouted at me a few times, and then fell into the spring.
We were all startled by its sudden appearance.
Tsewang squatted by the spring and said, "I guess it wants to take us out. Should we chase it?"
"What are you waiting for? Let's chase!" Without saying a word, I took off my coat.
Then, I took a deep breath and took the lead to dive into the water. I first soaked half of my body into the cold lake water, then held my nose and plunged into the center of the spring. As soon as I entered the water, a huge wave appeared behind me.
In the waves, Ciwang and the others also splashed twice and swam over.
I remember that in Yun Dingxiang’s description, this section of water is the transition point connecting the Big and Small Dragon Balls, and the straight-line distance should not be very far. But we did not bring any diving equipment on this trip. If there is a sudden danger, it will be delayed.
If you don't have time, you can almost just wait to die.
Yu'er is a very good swimmer, so I didn't dare to neglect him and swam hard towards the location of the big dragon ball.
The water in the lake was crystal clear and ice-deep to the bone. I didn’t dare to slow down at all, for fear that my limbs would be paralyzed and I would lose consciousness if I stopped. Yu’er, a dog, was able to shuttle freely in such water temperature, and saved several of us.
We are so far behind the rest of humanity that we really don’t know how to evaluate ourselves.
So, I speeded up and swam in the direction of Yu'er.
At this moment, an arc-shaped hole suddenly appeared diagonally above. I was very happy, it seemed that the entrance was right here.
I got out of the pool, and there was mist in front of my eyes. Ciwang followed me and lifted me up. I lay on the edge of the pool and coughed several mouthfuls of water. Probably because I just got out of the water, my ears were buzzing.
Sound. Deyang Ram spit out a big mouthful of lake water, wiped his face with his hands, and climbed out of the pool.
I held up my hands and swam up from the cold lake. Only then did I notice
There is stagnant water here, up to the ankles.
"Where's Yu'er?"
"This dog runs pretty fast."
"Swim faster."
"It's strange. I chased it up, and I worked hard on my front and back legs. Unless there is a secret room hidden in here, it would not be so easy to lose it."
"This ghost place is cold enough. It's a few circles bigger than the previous grotto. Damn it, is this dog still a dog? Why is it more numb than us now? It disappeared in the blink of an eye." Ciwang trembled and said.
.
I looked around. This place is connected from front to back. The four walls are all uncarved underwater caves. I don’t know where they lead. We first arrived here and haven’t figured out the specific situation yet. We want to find the exit.
I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.
"Don't worry about anything else, let's explore the truth first. Let's walk inside. Everyone, be careful under your feet. The water here is not deep, but it is quite turbid and the visibility is too low. Don't let Zhong Shi prick your feet."
After saying that, I raised my voice and shouted "Yu'er" loudly into the dark cave, and then I heard a dog barking from ahead.
"in front of."
"Great, let's follow."
So, we couldn't help but speed up the pace.
Caiyun followed me. I probably walked too fast, staggered, and almost fell forward. Fortunately, Caiyun caught me from behind, "Brother Lin Kun, what's wrong with you?"
"Ouch, ouch, I kicked something out of kindness, I strangled it, it's like a steel plate, it hurts me so much..." I hurriedly squatted down in the water and groped around. The water in the hole was old and gave off a strange smell.
There was a putrid smell. My nose was so frozen in the lake water just now that I couldn't get over it for a while. Now I bent down and almost fainted from the rotten water.
Upon seeing this, Caiyun also leaned into the water and started groping. I splashed in the water for a while, and then I heard Caiyun say "Hey". I quickly shined the flashlight in it, and saw that under the cold light, Caiyun's hands were in the water, and the rancid sewage was submerged.
to the top of her wrist.
Caiyun looked gloomy and looked up at me, her eyes full of doubts. I asked her what was going on and if she had caught something. Unexpectedly, Caiyun shook her head, then raised her hands and lifted something out of the water.
Something no one thought of.
"Why is this thing here?" I picked up the thing with one hand and pointed at the pointer on the valve and said, "There is still more than half a bottle left."
"Why are there oxygen bottles in this place?" Ciwang and Deyang Ram both exclaimed.
I quickly put down the flashlight and whispered: "Besides us, there are other people who have come in here."
"Yunnan?"
"Who else could it be but him?"
When I think of this, I can hardly suppress my emotions.
"But have you ever thought about why they left the oxygen bottles in such a remote place?"
"In order to speed up the march." Tsewang understood immediately.
"Yes, lighten the load and travel lightly. What does this mean?"
"Is something chasing them?"
"It's very possible, and it must be something terrible."
We groped forward along the corridor. We did not dare to expose our target easily, so we extinguished our flashlights and formed a line against the stone wall.
