The water in the whirlpool was flowing fast. Once you got into it, it felt like you were thrown into a washing machine. It spun around like the world was spinning. Fortunately, Hua Mulan was smart enough. After stabbing the corpse viper's belly with a knife, she grabbed the bristles on its abdomen with her other hand and hung on its belly. The knife in her hand didn't stop, and she kept stabbing the corpse viper's belly. The frequency... was like a sewing machine. In a blink of an eye, the corpse viper's belly was stabbed into a hornet's nest. It seemed that she would not stop until she killed the corpse viper. My scalp was numb. This move was a bit too cruel. After all, she was someone who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies before, and she was more ruthless than me when it was time to take action.
The corpse snake was still struggling violently at the beginning, but after being stabbed by Hua Mulan for more than ten times, it gradually calmed down. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be dead.
After going back and forth in the whirlpool for a while, we fell from a high place along the water flow!
Is this... an underground waterfall?
No, it should be an artificial waterfall!
It was dark below, and we couldn't see the specific situation clearly. We could only hear the sound of rushing water. However, after getting out of the whirlpool, we seemed to have entered a particularly vast underground space. There was air in it, and we could breathe as soon as we came out, and then we fell directly to the bottom!
"Let go!"
I heard Song Yanan shouting: "Falling with this corpse snake will have too much kinetic energy. We can't bear it!"
As soon as she said this, Hua Mulan let go, and then fell straight down along the water flowing down from the whirlpool. In the dark, I couldn't see the situation of other people. I could only endure the strong sense of weightlessness and go with the flow. I didn't know how high I fell, and then Hua Mulan controlled my body and "plop" fell into a pool of cold water.
"It's okay, I leave my body to you."
Hua Mulan said in a deep voice, and the next moment I felt that I had regained control of my body, and then I asked: "Are you all right?"
"It's okay!"
"It's okay!"
The responses from all around came one after another. I counted the number of people and they were all there, and I was relieved at once.
My flashlight was lost when I was attacked by the corpse snake. I could only stare blankly at this time. Fortunately, Chen Yu and his friends still had their flashlights. I turned on the flashlights while soaking in the cold water. Suddenly, the surroundings were bright, and I finally saw the situation here clearly.
The place where we are now is a dug-out underground space. At present, the location where several of us are located is an underground lake. Needless to say, where the water comes from is from the lake above. The water from there flows back to form this underground lake. During the backflow process, a vortex is formed due to water pressure and other issues!
In front of this underground lake, a river channel with a width of only one meter was dug out. This river channel was directly dug out of the mud, similar to a bridge hole. The water of the underground lake rushed away from the river channel, and no one knew where it flowed!
The project of this tomb is so huge!
I took a breath of cold air lightly, and I became curious about the identity of the tomb owner. I am afraid that such a tomb is not comparable to ordinary imperial tombs, right? When it was built, I didn't know how much work would be done and how much money would be spent!
At this point, I have basically guessed the structure of this tomb!
When this tomb was first built, it should have been built in a small ravine in Mianshan. The ground of this small ravine was almost hollowed out, and finally formed the huge underground space we have now, and then a tunnel was used to open up this underground space, leading directly to the tomb! After all this was built, fill the soil, and then leave two holes on the surface of the small ravine, and then divert water from the surrounding mountains to fill the small ravine, forming a surface artificial lake, and then the water of this surface lake poured into the underground space from the hole left when the tomb was built, forming an underground lake, and then the water of this underground lake rushed directly to the tomb along the developed river channel. This underground river that rushes directly to the tomb is called a tomb-protecting river, which is similar to the ancient moat, which is beneficial to Feng Shui and can lock the Feng Shui here from leaking out.
I have never heard of this kind of tomb bureau. I am afraid that when it was built, there must have been more than 100,000 people working, and it took many years to build!
However, there are only a handful of people in history who have built such a large-scale tomb. Most of these people's tombs have been excavated. So far, I am afraid that only the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is still a mystery and has not been revealed. Apart from those people, I really can't think of anyone else who has made such a big scene!
Whose tomb is it?
I muttered to myself, if the tombs in Shanxi are royal people, the Li Tang royal family is the most, because Shanxi is the ancestral land of the Li Tang royal family. Of course, in addition to this, there are other royal family members buried here. After all, there have been too many emperors in Shanxi history. There seems to be a super dragon vein that can dominate the country. The location should be in Jinzhong. However, the later Northern Song Emperor Zhao Guangyi was worried that Shanxi, the place where the emperor came from, would jump out of some green forest heroes to compete with him for the world, so he built a T-shaped street in Jinzhong and nailed this super dragon vein. Until now, the specific location of the dragon vein has not been found. I have been to Jinzhong several times but I can't figure it out.
However, apart from the Li Tang royal family, the remaining emperors from Shanxi did not establish any unified dynasties, and they certainly did not have the ability to build such a tomb!
Most of the tombs of the Li Tang royal family have been found, and I have never heard of a tomb of such a scale!
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, I simply gave up and waved to Song Yanan and the others. Then a few of us went in along the underground river. It was damp and fishy inside, and the smell was very bad, but the air was flowing, which made me feel a lot more at ease.
I guess this underground river should flow around this big tomb, and the water will eventually return to the lake on the surface. Otherwise, if the river water accumulates underground, I am afraid that this tomb would have been flooded long ago! If this tomb-protecting river is in this pattern, then there must be a slope when the river is built, so that the water will suddenly become turbulent when it flows through the slope, generating kinetic energy, and finally rushing back to the surface lake.
Sure enough, after we swam along the river for a distance, the water suddenly surged, dragging us down from a height. The water flow became faster and faster, and finally it almost became a turbulent current, and even I was a little panicked.
At this time, the cannon who had been rushed to the front suddenly shouted: "Everyone get ready, there is a shallow beach 50 meters ahead on the left, let's go to that shallow beach, otherwise we don't know where we will be washed by this river!"
There is a shallow beach?
I was shocked and stuck my head out of the water and looked forward. Looking forward along the flashlight held up by the cannon, it seemed that there was indeed a gap in front!
No matter what, let's go up first!
I already had an idea in my mind. The cannon was right. If we were washed by this water flow, we might have to return to the surface lake in the end. At that time, all our efforts would be in vain. In any case, we should land on the shallow beach first!
With the idea in mind, I began to adjust my position intentionally and stuck to the earth wall on the left side of the river.
A distance of 50 meters is just a blink of an eye at the speed of the river. In the blink of an eye, we have reached the gap. The gap is only more than ten meters wide. For the current speed of the river, it is just a blink of an eye. The opportunity can be said to be fleeting!
I dare not delay at all. When I reached the gap, I suddenly exerted force in the water. The whole person jumped out of the water like a fish. After drifting in the air for a distance, I suddenly fell on the shallows. I fell and felt sick in my stomach. I bent my body and opened my mouth and vomited. What I vomited was all the dirty water I drank in the lake, mixed with a light blood color. It was clearly that I was injured when I was hit hard by the corpse snake, and my internal organs were damaged, and then the blood accumulated in my stomach.
Not only was I vomiting, but everyone else was vomiting too. Those who couldn't vomit were squatting on the side and picking their throats to vomit out the dirty water in their stomachs. After soaking in the water for so long, who didn't have some water in their stomachs? Those dirty water was poured in, and who could bear the churning in the stomach if they didn't vomit it out?
After this crazy vomiting, we were completely exhausted. No one said a word and lay on the ground to rest for a long time. Then Huoyao, who was lying not far from me, suddenly laughed "hehehe". His laugh was quite contagious. Everyone laughed with him, and even a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
It's really worth being happy. We escaped from the eyes of the King of Hell again. Every time we escape from death, it is a kind of happiness for people like us.
It's great to be alive.
Isn't it?
Thinking about the thrilling experience in the underground lake, I couldn't help but think of the breath Song Yanan gave me.
Without her, I might have died, right?
Although Hua Mulan has been trying to save me, she doesn't need to breathe, so naturally she can't breathe for me. In the end, Song Yanan saved my life.
Although she is a bit hateful at ordinary times, especially when we first met, she is a kind-hearted person after all, and she is very kind to her teammates and her own people.
After hesitating for a while, I turned my head to look at Song Yanan, and after a little silence, I said "thank you" to her.
"Don't thank me, without you, this mission would have failed. I saved you because you are the only one who can solve the 106 Highway incident!"
Song Yanan curled her lips and said lightly: "I saved you for official business, so there is no need to say thank you. Solving this matter is the greatest thank you to me."
I was almost choked to death by her words, but looking at her nonchalant look, I couldn't help but laugh-if I don't thank me, would I still be her?
Song Yanan probably saw me laughing, so she glanced at me and said, "What are you laughing at?"
I wanted to tease her, so I shrugged and said, "You have a nice mouth."
She didn't react at first, and it took her more than ten seconds to come back to her senses. She realized that I was talking about the touch when she gave me air. In an instant, her eyes looked like she wanted to kill someone, the kind of viciousness.
I couldn't help laughing, but before I could laugh a few times, I heard the oil bottle behind me suddenly say, "Come and see, there is a tomb door here!!"
Tomb door?
I was stunned, and I didn't care about teasing Song Yanan at the moment. I quickly got up from the ground and ran to the back. I got close to the oil bottle and saw that there was indeed a tightly closed tomb door. On the right side of the tomb door, there stood a stone tablet. I got close to it and was stunned.
There was no information about the tomb owner on this stone tablet, only a poem.
That's right, it was a poem!
"For fifty years, the dream has been real.
Today, I bid farewell to the world.
When the water is full of dragons,
I recognize the cigarettes as my next life."
This is the poem on the stone tablet. It seems to be a suicide poem written when a person dies!
I feel that this suicide poem is indescribably familiar. It seems that I have seen it somewhere. After thinking for a long time, I finally figured out the source. I was shocked at that time.
I think I probably know whose tomb this is!
