Qinling Sacred Tree Chapter 13 Underground River

Several people walked out of the darkness. I couldn't see their faces clearly, but I recognized the voice that just spoke. It was the Uncle Tai we had followed earlier.

I secretly screamed, "Oh no!" These are all desperadoes, and it would be very dangerous to fall into their hands. A place like this is simply the best place to kill people. The bodies may not be found for hundreds of years.

The man behind me put a gun to my head, asked me to squat aside, and said: "Don't move, I will smash your head."

I turned around to look at him and saw a big man with a big scar on his face giving me a very hard look and pushing me to the ground.

Uncle Tai looked at us, shook his head, and said to the older one: "I mean, Ermazi, you can't be more polite. These two little kids have done more than you. At their age, you** *You still don’t know how to pinch anything, so put the gun away.”

Er Mazi grinned, put the pistol back into his waistband, and walked aside.

I looked at Uncle Tai and wondered what he was playing, but he didn’t come to see us. He squatted down and touched the iron ring, and said to a person next to him: "Boss Wang, do you think this is the place?" ?”

A somewhat fat middle-aged man squatted down with difficulty, took out a book, looked at it, and said, "Yes, this is the place. I didn't expect it to be so objectively hidden."

Uncle Tai winked at Er Mazi, who nodded and went to open the stone door. Uncle Tai turned to us, took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to Lao Chi, and asked: "Little baby, what did you just say?" What’s this great benefit?”

Lao Itchi was so frightened that he took the cigarette tremblingly and said: "...Actually, it's nothing, just some porcelain and copperware..."

"Oh?" Uncle Tai lit a cigarette for him and asked, "What age is that tomb from?"

Lao Itch said at a loss: "Then...actually I don't know...I look like it's from the Qing Dynasty, because the rice dumpling has a hat like a bamboo hat and a braid."

"Oh. A hat like a bamboo hat?" Uncle Tai stood up, walked back and forth thoughtfully for a few steps, and asked another person: "Master Liang, is there such an underground burial method in the Qing Tomb?"

The man was hiding in the dark and I couldn't see him. I heard a rather young voice say: "No."

"No? What era is this tomb that the little doll is talking about?"

Master Liang thought for a while,

He shook his head: "I don't know, I have to go and see it to find out."

Uncle Tai stood up and walked to Er Mazi. At this time, the stone door on the ground had been flipped up, revealing an entrance one meter wide. It was dark inside, and there seemed to be a very steep stone step leading down. I smelled a strange smell coming up from below. It was a bit familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was.

Er Mazi looked at it with a flashlight and wanted to climb down, but Uncle Tai stopped him. He pointed at me with his chin and said to Er Mazi: "You have no brains? How dare you break into this nameless place? Let this Little kid, go down first.”

When I heard this, I knew that he wanted to use me as a weapon, and I cursed in my heart.

For them, Lao Itch used to guard that ancient tomb and it might be useful to keep it. I am just a fool, so it won't matter much if I die. At this time, Lao Itch nodded to me and said softly: "It's okay, just go ahead."

I felt a little relieved when I saw the pockmarked man coming to pull me. I waved my hand and said to them: "Don't touch me, I'll go down by myself!" After saying that, I tied the flashlight to my hand, held my hands on one side, and carefully I explored it with my feet and found that the stone steps below were quite stable. I stepped on them a few times and knew that what Lao Itch said was right, this road was safe.

I took a deep breath and took a photo with my flashlight. I found that this was an almost straight mine tunnel, so deep that I couldn't see the bottom. The surrounding green stone walls were very wet for some reason and felt a little slippery when I pressed them. But there is no water down there, so I don’t know where the moisture comes from.

When I thought about it, Uncle Tai patted my head, handed me a whistle, and said, "When it gets low, blow it. If you don't hear any sound in half an hour, I will kill your brother."

I knew he was afraid that I would run away on my own, so I sneered in my heart, took the whistle from my ancestor, and walked down the tunnel with my head down.

It is very difficult to climb up these almost straight stone steps. They were not careful when digging. Some are shallow and some are deep. Most of them can only hold half of my foot. After I went down more than ten steps, I started to pant and my toes began to hurt. . After going down for about sixty steps, my feet began to show signs of cramping, so I had to stop and rest.

At this time, I looked up and saw that the stone door above had turned into a small square spot of light. The surrounding darkness was squeezing in like ink. I saw a few vague shadows flashing on it. Apparently they kept stopping. Looking over at me, I secretly thought: Now that Lao Itch is in their hands, at least he will be safe until he reaches the ancient tomb, but it is hard for me to say. Although they have not killed me now, there is still a chance of going through the thunder. What's more, Lao Itch said that there must be something fishy down here, and it's not an option to continue like this.

All I have now is the time advantage of arriving below before them. If I can use these few minutes to make some preparations, I might be able to reverse the entire situation. The question is, is there anything below that I can use?

It's useless to think about it, so I'd better click on it and talk about it. The sooner I go down, the more time I have.

I thought about continuing to climb. After ten minutes, the direction of the mine tunnel changed, and the angle gradually began to appear, making it easier to climb up the stairs. I saw that the rocks in this section had obviously turned reddish brown, and there were many small reflections when looking up. , knowing that they had encountered a rock spirit, this kind of stone was probably granite with some mica in it, which was very hard. They changed the direction of the mine tunnel, probably to avoid this rock spirit.

I continued to descend along the gradually slowing down mine tunnel, and found that the mine tunnel was not very long, so that the steepness of the mine tunnel kept getting slower, and finally it became a parallel trend. As I walked, I vaguely heard that the mine tunnel was quite beautiful. There seemed to be the sound of water below. After passing a few turns, the sound of water became louder, sounding like thousands of horses galloping. It seemed that there was a waterfall down there.

I guess if we go further in, the sound of the whistle may not reach the top. I had to take out the whistle and blow it a few times. The sound transmission effect of the mine tunnel was very good. The sound circled all the way up, and soon, a whistle echoed from above. I knew these individuals would follow immediately, immediately turned around, and continued walking down.

After going down for more than ten meters, the mine tunnel has completely leveled off. I can walk down comfortably like walking up stairs. The sound of water here is already loud, and from time to time, a warm current blows from the bottom of the mine tunnel. With a very strong smell of sulfur, I was very surprised. Could there be such a thing here? It's impossible. This is not a volcano.

I kept walking with doubts. Suddenly, the mine road widened in front of me. I walked a few steps quickly, and a strong wind blew in front of me, almost knocking me down. I raised my hand and shined a flashlight, and found that I had arrived in a natural cave.

This cave is about as wide as a basketball court and about five or six meters high. It extends to the left and right sides and leads to nowhere. It's better to say it's a cave than an underground passage. There are no stalactites on the top of the cave, but the surrounding stones have become smooth after years of erosion. Looking at the size of the cave, I know it was not dug manually. The bottom of the entire cave is an underground river, and the water flow is very fast. The huge sound of water I just heard above is because the cave structure here is like a loudspeaker, amplifying the sound of running water. I walked into the middle and found that the water temperature It was quite high, and it was hard to get down. The water got deeper and deeper as I walked forward, and it reached my knees after just a few steps, so I quickly stepped back.

This should be a rock vein, just like the blood vessels in the human body, it is the blood vessel of the mountain. Unexpectedly, this mine hole actually penetrated directly into the rock vein. What an unfortunate coincidence. Lao Itch must have followed this vein in the rock vein. When the underground river came out, I looked to both sides and found that the two underground rivers seemed to be shrinking. There seemed to be something standing in the middle of the river on the left, but I stood on the edge and couldn't hit it with my flashlight. When I got there, I vaguely felt that it was a person.

Just when he was feeling strange, Er Mazi had already walked out of the mine tunnel screaming, stepped into the water, and shouted: "**, it's so hot!"

I looked back and saw another young man walking out behind him. This man wore a pair of glasses and looked well-mannered. He must be Master Liang. When he got closer, I realized that this man was also on the hook. He is a bit older, but not as young as he looks from afar. The third person to come out was Lao Itch, followed by a middle-aged man who was a little fat, and then Uncle Tai. I thought there should be another person behind me, but I found that no one was following me. I was wondering, when they entered the mountain, weren't they five? Personal?

All of them turned on their flashlights, and several beams of light swept back and forth in the rock vein. Master Liang let out a low cry: "Hey, isn't this a rock vein? It's still warm, which is rare."

Er Mazi took a few steps into the water, then frowned and stepped back, saying to those people: "It's pretty damn deep, Uncle Tai, it's hard to walk here and it's not easy to flow."

Uncle Tai glanced at Lao Chu and said with a smile: "Little boy, you said you came out from here. How did you come out? Did you swim out?"

Lao Itch was a little frightened by what he saw, so he hurriedly said: "There are two iron locks under the water. Just keep touching the iron locks!" After saying that, he hurriedly ran forward and touched them open in the water. Immediately he Pulling a black iron chain about as thick as a wrist out of the water, he shouted, "This is it."

Er Mazi walked over and pulled it a few times, but couldn't pull it. He glanced at the person in front of him a little uneasily and said, "Uncle Tai, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to walk on the waterway like this. Pipa was so dead just now... If I encounter that again... We have to account for everything."

Master Liang touched the water and said: "It's okay, the water here is so hot, there will definitely be no fish, and if there is, it will be cooked."

Er Mazi grinned, as if he didn't believe it, and asked: "Really?"

Master Liang patted his shoulder and was about to say something when suddenly a huge wave exploded in the water behind Er Mazi. Almost instantly, we were thrown into the water and soaked to the skin. I yelled in my heart, this is the damn Super Salmon, right? I turned the flashlight back in panic, and saw a column of water rushing out of the water, hitting the roof of the cave, and the scalding water turned into rain-like drops. Come down.

Master Liang turned pale with fright. He sat in the water and shivered. He didn't know if he peed his pants. After all, Uncle Tai had seen the wind and waves. When he stood up, he had already pulled out the gun with one hand and shouted at Master Liang: "***What the hell is this!"
