Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 19
As the square brick was removed, a square black hole appeared out of thin air on the ground.Inside the entrance of the cave, a steep bluestone step extends obliquely downward.

We turned our heads and looked into the cave. It was pitch black inside. We took out our flashlights and looked in. The stone walls on both sides tightly clamped the stone steps in the middle, protruding far down, and there was no end in sight.

Su Heluo didn't expect that a secret road was hidden behind the square brick he dug casually. At this moment, he was both surprised and happy: "It really is a road without a unparalleled path! No, no, bah! It should be said, it is simply Bliss from heaven!"

The hole in front of me immediately reminded me of the cellar of my hometown, and I couldn't help but say, "I think this hole is similar to the cellar of my hometown. Maybe it's a vegetable cellar with thousand-year-old Chinese cabbage in it."

"Hahahaha, millennium cabbage, thank you for being able to figure it out!" Xin Ran laughed and leaned back.

"What do you know, you want..." Su Heluo was halfway through speaking, when Mr. Qi suddenly made a silent movement, motioning for us to be quiet.

He lowered his head and listened for a while, then raised his head to scan the surrounding flat ground, then lowered his head again, and this time he listened for half a minute before he said, "There is the sound of water below, go in later and watch your step!"

As soon as Zhao Longyu heard that there was water below, Zhao Longyu immediately changed his expression and asked, "Could it be possible that there is stagnant water below? If the water is too deep, we don't have the equipment here. Isn't it for nothing?"

Old Qi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, go down and have a look, if there is not much water, it can be done."

According to Elder Qi's arrangement, after a while, Xinran and I will go to the front, and Elder Qi will be in the middle. Since Su Heluo has a leg injury, Zhao Longyu will go with him to the end.

After packing up our things, our group walked into this square black hole along the bluestone steps in order.

The first section is basically a downward step road. The stone walls on both sides are only one meter wide, and you can't even stretch your arms.Mottled moss still grows on the stone walls and steps, which are slippery to the touch, so you can only be more careful when walking on them.

I looked up and glanced upwards. The stone walls on both sides were connected to the top of the head, which looked like a whole.The fading stone top also proves that we are going all the way down.

The more you go down, the more humid the air is, and the sound of water that Elder Qi said before becomes more and more clear. The sound actually sounds a bit like... pouring water?

"It's over!"

After the stone steps in front reached the end, it was replaced by a horizontally extending corridor, but it was still very narrow, tightly clamped by the stone walls on both sides, and it looked suffocating and stuffy.But the top of this corridor is very high, walking in it is like moving in the cracks.

"Wow wow wow..."

Walking to the end of the corridor, the sound of water has become very clear.

In front of me was a long and narrow stone gate, on which a soaring eagle was embossed, with its wings spread so lifelike, as if it would fly out of the gate in the next moment.

"Let me go." Elder Qi said from behind.

Xin Ran turned sideways with me, before Qi Lao just squeezed past and came to the door.

He looked at the stone gate, checked up and down, and said to himself: "So that's how it is."

He put his hands on the far right side of the stone door, and pushed hard, with a "click", the stone door turned a little bit, opening a hole.Immediately afterwards, the sound of "Kaka" came from both sides of the corridor. When I just arrived, there were many horizontal gaps on the stone walls on both sides, and water suddenly gushed out of the gaps.

Seeing this, Elder Qi hurriedly shouted: "Quick push!"

Gradually, the angle of rotation of the stone gate became larger and larger. I turned sideways and pulled the stone gate on the left side. After a while, the stone gate turned [-] degrees.However, as the stone gate opened wide, the gaps on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor just now became wider and wider, and the water rushing in suddenly became more urgent, almost covering my feet.

Under Qi Lao's command, we entered the stone gate one after another, and then turned the stone gate back to its original position.As the stone gate gradually returned to its place, the sound of water in the corridor gradually stopped, but in the tomb where we were, the sound of water gradually became louder.

The scene in the tomb in front of me is like a fairyland on earth.The few of us stood on the platform behind the stone gate, seeing such a scene, we were so shocked that we couldn't speak for a while.

The ground of the entire tomb is almost a pool of water. In addition to the stone platform we are on, there is a raised platform in the center of the tomb.The rest of the place is illuminated, and it looks like water is shining.On the surrounding walls, there are several protruding stone carved horned dragons spitting water outwards, which is where the sound of water heard before came from.

On the zenith and walls of the tomb, there are also many beads emitting light green light, arranged in a pattern resembling stars, and the light reflects on the water surface. Being in it, the whole person seems to be floating in the starry sky of the universe.

"This is too beautiful!" Xin Ran looked at the scene in front of her, fascinated.

I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and wanted to take a close-up of the scene in front of me, and discussed with everyone: "Can everyone turn off the lights first, I want to take a picture of the reflection in the water."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Zhao Longyu patted me and shouted: "Do you think we are here for a trip, and you still take pictures!"

After being hit on the head, I could only put away the phone resentfully.

Su Heluo squatted on the platform, looked at the wall next to the stone gate and said, "I just took a look. There is a row of holes on the wall here near the water surface. It seems that if the water surface is higher than this position, the water will follow The hole flows out."

"In this way, the water surface can be maintained at a fixed height, which is really ingenious!" I took a step forward, and the cold water covered my calf, and I couldn't help shouting: "It's so cold, so cold! "

Seeing that I was fine, several other people got into the water one after another and walked towards the stone platform in the middle of the tomb.

When we came to the stone platform in the center of the tomb, we discovered that there was a well here. The potter's wheel and the edge of the well were made of bronze, with a thick layer of green rust growing on it.Looking down, the well is about ten meters deep. Not only is there no water in it, but it seems to be connected to a wide space.

Qi Lao tried the potter's wheel and found that it still works.I remembered that there were safety ropes and sleeping bags prepared earlier in the backpack, which could just be assembled into a simple lifting device. As long as someone controls the pulley on it, people can be put down and shaken up.

"Long Yu, you can stay here. We will have to shake you when we come up. It's all about your energy." Qi Lao asked.

Zhao Longyu was anxious at first, but after thinking about it, he was indeed so.In the end, he had no choice but to sit down on the edge of the well, sighed, and said disappointedly: "It would be great if Lu Yuan didn't die."

Then with the help of Zhao Longyu, several of us descended to the bottom of the well one after another...
