Lao Jiang was afraid that we wouldn't understand, so he took the initiative to add: "In other words, there is still a space down there."
I couldn't help but mutter, as expected of a university president, he has quite a lot of nouns!
"This vacuum zone was sealed for thousands of years. Later, for some reason, a hole was opened, so in recent years, all the water from Moon Bay has actually poured into it..."
The more Ge Weihan talked, the more excited he became. He pointed his finger at the ground and kept circling: "Now you understand, the treasure that the tomb robbers are looking for is not under the three stars at all, but under the moon!"
Lao Jiang seemed to be convinced by Ge Weihan. He took out a cigarette and didn't know why he was reluctant to light it. Instead, he put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"I guess that the reason why those tomb robbers committed suicide in Moon Bay was not simply to commit suicide by jumping into the river. It is very likely that the powerful curse power below Moon Bay was summoning them and tempting them to go in and achieve their ulterior motives. Purpose!"
"But it's a pity that those tomb robbers were too stupid, and in the end they just became unjust ghosts in the water."
Upon hearing this, Yin Ling'er couldn't help but jump back: "Fortunately, we didn't get hit, otherwise we would have died."
"We didn't get caught, but we have to go underground!" Lao Jiang smiled bitterly.
Yin Ling'er looked at me subconsciously, but I asked another question: "But now, how are we going to get in?"
Ge Weihan stretched his waist and said: "It's very simple, just like we did in other places before, waiting for the rain!"
As a result, we have to stay in Sanxing Village for a few more days.
Although all the tomb robbers were caught, people in the village still didn’t want to see Yan Daocheng’s family. Only Li Gouer and we organized a simple funeral for Yan Daocheng.
Fortunately, Yan Daocheng's son and daughter-in-law didn't have any serious health problems. They didn't want to live in Li Gouer's house together, but they never returned to the two-story building. Instead, they dragged their family back to the old house where they lived. .
Perhaps in their view, the two-story building was a windfall.
Never take things you shouldn't take. Although they understood this truth a little late, it was not too late!
Three days later, frost flowers finally condensed on the glass bottle that Ge Weihan hung under the eaves, and he reminded us to be prepared.
We didn’t know how much groundwater would flow into the vacuum belt. Just in case, we searched for the equipment left by the tomb robbers in the village.
In the eyes of the villagers, none of these tomb robbers were good at anything, and no one wanted their dazzling equipment. This gave us an advantage.
We rummaged around and found quite a few diving goggles and several sets of waterproof suits.
This thing is soaked in tung oil. It is slippery and is called rat skin among the people. It can prevent water from touching the body when entering the water.
At dusk, the long-awaited rain finally came!
First there was a drizzle of light rain. Now we had to wait near the waterwheel early, planning to dig as soon as it started to rain.
Ge Weihan was hiding under the umbrella, peeling peanuts leisurely: "Why are you so anxious? The rain hasn't soaked in yet."
The rain became heavier and heavier, the light rain turned into moderate rain, and the entire sky turned into a black pot bottom, pouring down bit by bit like ink, blowing on our faces with the wind.
Soon the downpour came.
Wow!
Wow!
The heavy rain was raging, and Geweihan had just finished eating the peanuts in his pocket. He threw away the umbrella, picked up the engineer shovel beside him, and walked over.
Under the dark night, a loud and resounding Sichuan dialect rang out: "dig the seeds!"
All of us dug down along the waterwheel. The soil in the field was dug, but no one moved under the waterwheel.
Maybe the tomb robbers never thought that the real location would be under such an inconspicuous waterwheel.
And if you want to dig out that vacuum belt, you need such a timely rain.
In fact, before digging, Lao Jiang and I stared at the waterwheel intently and discovered a very strange and interesting thing. Whenever rain fell, a small vortex would be formed near the waterwheel.
Lao Jiang told me: "This is the phenomenon of dragons absorbing water. If there are whirlpools, it means the place below is empty!"
We dug down together, and in order to avoid falling into the puddle suddenly, we put on diving goggles in advance. But there is also a problem with this diving goggle. Although it can protect our eyes from being affected, rain falls on the diving goggle and makes it blurry.
As the rain got heavier and heavier, our vision became increasingly blurry, and we could only dig deeper by feel.
While digging, Lao Jiang suddenly stopped the shovel: "Oops, I seem to have overdone..."
"Overdigging? What do you mean?" Ge Weihan and I asked in unison.
However, before Lao Jiang could answer, I felt my feet were empty and my body instantly became unstable. At the same time, a strong current swept me up.
Did Lao Jiang dig his way to Moon Bay? Why do I feel like there is a river here?
Immediately afterwards, his vision was replaced by darkness.
Finally, I felt like there was no more water, but it was pitch black in front of me, and everyone was turning somersaults in the darkness like a top. It was also accompanied by Yin Ling'er's screams of "ouch" and "ouch", which were louder than the other one. I don't know if she hit her head?
The next moment, I felt as if I had been thrown into a foreign space. There was a very hard feeling underneath me, and there was the sound of rushing water in my ears.
I took off my goggles, but my eyes were still dim, with no light coming through.
"Old Jiang, are you there?"
"Ling'er, are you okay?"
I subconsciously called out their names, Lao Jiang coughed, and Yin Ling'er replied: "What the hell is this place!"
Among them was Ge Weihan's gloomy voice: "It seems that you don't regard me as a friend at all. There are three of you, but you have only forgotten me."
Lao Jiang turned on the flashlight at this time and asked us to stand up first.
Under the dim light, I found that there was a huge underground world in front of me. The Western Zhou Dynasty was so gloomy that I could only see the slightest outline.
There is a little water underfoot, but not much, and there is only a slight splashing sound when walking on it.
Lao Jiang took a step forward and tried to illuminate the things in front of him, but the light was too weak, so I turned on a flashlight.
This time I was finally able to see clearly, but I didn't expect that what came into view was a three-story earthen platform full of weird atmosphere, which looked like an ancient altar!
This altar exudes a green luster, which is eerie, as if it is standing in the underworld.
It is made of a kind of blue rammed earth, and it looks like tens of thousands of blue poisonous snakes stacked on top of each other, spitting out terrifying messages.
No, there seems to be something inlaid on this altar?
I walked over quickly and turned the flashlight to the brightest. Oh my god, it turned out to be a bronze mask.
Each level of this three-story altar is inlaid with a huge bronze mask.
He has a western appearance, with a triangular nose and protruding eyes.
"He, that's him!"
I couldn't help but point forward and scream!
The bronze mask here was exactly the same as the bronze mask that haunted me before. Just looking at it made me feel a fear deep in my memory crawling through my body, making me tremble from the inside out.
