The water in the hole seeps very quickly, almost as fast as a spring.
For everyone, this was like rain after a long drought, giving everyone hope of survival and once again confirming that Lin Yi's speculation was correct.
Under the coffin bed, there is indeed a secret passage connected to the river below.
Upon seeing this, Qian Sheng and others immediately joined the team digging the hole.
The six people were divided into two groups, digging from both ends to the middle to enlarge the exit. The earth and rocks backfilled below were getting looser and looser. Driven by the survival instinct, everyone tried their best and dug faster and faster.
The depth of the water underfoot was getting higher and higher, and it instantly covered the ankles of several people.
"Isn't the water overflowing a little too quickly? What exactly is going on down there, Lao Lin, do you know what's going on?"
According to Lin Yi's judgment, when Liu Xuanchu found this Hidden Dragon Cave, his original intention was not to place Wu Sangui's coffin, because the Zhou army came with a fierce attack, the Qing army retreated steadily, and Wu Sangui had the potential to dominate the world.
At that time, there will be no need for any hidden dragon at all. After he dies, he can completely find a dragon vein to bury him.
Such an underground palace was the first to be built here. It was originally used as a backup answer. After all, the first thing every emperor did when he ascended the throne was to build his own tomb.
Later, Wu Sangui failed to obey Liu Xuanchu's arrangement and wanted to cross the river with Xuan Ye to rule, allowing the Qing army to slow down and launch a massive counterattack, which ultimately led to his failure. This place did come in handy.
In order to deceive others, they originally chose to dig a secret passage into Lushan on both sides of the Anjiang River. They used waterways to transport Wu Sangui's coffin and funerary objects to the top of the underground palace. After placing the coffin chamber properly, they began the backfilling work.
Therefore, this channel must not be opened too large.
"The area we are digging now has begun to seep water in a large area. It is most likely caused by a lot of water accumulated in the sandy soil layer. Don't panic, take your time."
Lin Yi was only halfway through what he said when he saw Qian Sheng on the other side suddenly stepped on the air, and then his whole body suddenly sank from the sand beneath his feet.
"Damn it, third child!"
Wang Qiang, who was beside him, had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly grabbed his collar. At this moment, a large area of sag began to appear where everyone had settled.
"No, it's empty down there!"
The others reacted immediately, stretched out their arms, raised their elbows, and let their bodies get stuck between the gaps in the coffin boards.
Qin Renjie reacted the slowest and had no time to save himself. He was about to escape. Upon seeing this, Team Qiao immediately gave up on saving himself and went to save Qin Renjie.
Lin Yi took off the flying tiger's claws, grabbed a coffin board, and pulled hard. He dragged a rectangular coffin board over and stuffed it vertically through the collapsed hole.
"Team Joe, you two lie down on the board!"
"knew!"
Team Joe's voice came from below.
After a while, Captain Qiao's voice came from below again.
"Consultant Lin, there is a waterway underneath, and we are going to be taken out by the water pouring in! Take care!"
His voice became smaller and smaller, and then there was the sound of water hitting the mountain from below.
"Old Lin, what's going on? How could something so good suddenly collapse?"
Lin Yi lay on the edge of the coffin board and looked down.
"Hundreds of years have passed since the backfill here. After the continuous erosion of the river, the sand and soil rock layers below have been eroded by the river day after day, and this channel has been dug out again."
He finally understood now.
The water seepage just now was caused by river water pouring back into the channel.
The river surged outside the passage. After flooding in, it quickly receded and directly swept Captain Qiao and Qin Renjie out.
We have to escape from here quickly before the water has fully risen.
"Third brother, you and Lulu get on the long board. Lao Wang, let's get on the square board each. Be sure to fix it. We have to go surfing!"
"Wow~~"
Another big wave came in, and the river water hit them directly. It was too late to prepare. The four people exchanged glances with each other, climbed up the coffin board, fixed their bodies, and took advantage of the next wave to hit them. , jumped up and fell into the waterway.
Qian Sheng and Bai Lu took the lead, Wang Qiang took the second wave, and Lin Yi took the lead.
When he finally jumped into the waterway, a strong wave almost knocked him off his feet.
The wooden board was not big enough and could only accommodate half of his body lying on it. The beam of light in Wang Qiang's hand in front of him was fleeting, and the waterway was completely dark. The overflowing river turned around at the end and sent them out of the waterway.
After floating in this dark waterway for about two or three minutes, a light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Lin Yi closed his eyes subconsciously, and the floating board rushed out of the hole at the foot of the mountain and fell into Anjiang.
Although the river flow outside also has a drop, it is much calmer than the water in the waterway.
You can already hear Wang Qiang shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Fuck! I came out! I came out alive! Third child, can you hear me?"
Immediately afterwards, Qian Sheng and Bai Lu responded vaguely.
"I heard that! We also see Captain Qiao and Mr. Qin, right in front."
Lin Yi's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he lay on the wooden board with his hands, letting the river water carry him with the current, enjoying the tranquility after escaping from death.
The group of people drifted downstream along the river, and were rescued one by one by patrol boats from the local hydrology department.
Captain Qiao boarded the ship and revealed his identity. The staff on the ship immediately placed them in the lounge temporarily and made them some ginger water to keep them away from the cold.
Qin Renjie was hit hard by a stone in the river and hit the bone in his leg. It is very likely that he suffered a fracture or fracture.
Joe's old hand injury has not healed yet, and a new injury has been added.
Lin Yi and the four of them also suffered injuries to varying degrees, but fortunately none of them were fatal.
Now they were all wrapped in quilts and blankets, drinking ginger tea with trembling hands, and looking at each other's embarrassed faces, they couldn't help laughing.
"To be honest, Consultant Lin, when Xiaohui told me about you, I really didn't take what he said seriously. I was just going through the motions and trying to save face. I didn't expect you to be really capable and capable. thing."
"Team Qiao, thank you for the award. To be honest, when you first handed over the accident report to Mr. Qin, I had doubts about your ability to do things. It wasn't until I got to know you slowly that I changed my mind."
"The people have questioned our ability to do things. We should accept it with an open mind and make corrections in a timely manner. This is our service purpose. We welcome your guidance and valuable opinions in the future."
At this moment, Team Qiao suddenly spoke in a serious official tone, which once again made everyone laugh.
"There's nothing good to say about guidance. Whenever you go somewhere in the future, be careful not to touch or touch."
Wang Qiang joked next to him.
"You're the only one who gives lessons to others? The sun rises in the west, right?"
While everyone was joking and joking, Captain Qiao's phone rang. He went to the back room to answer the call and came out with a serious expression.
"Our people called and said that the person who poisoned Assistant Hui, damaged the hotel surveillance system, and wanted to confront Miss Bai for his evil intentions has been caught!"
