I glared at Cui Hao and threw the thing to him with my backhand.
"Giving it to you, there's no use keeping it."
After passing through these bones, the road ahead begins to become flat and smooth.
The stone walls on both sides are rugged and protruding, and the road is wide and accessible.
There are several ever-burning lamps set above the wall, emitting bursts of faint warm yellow candlelight.
Going forward, he followed the passage and broke out of the living door.
I turned around and saw a layer of white mist spreading behind me.
I grasped the opening of the stone wall with half my hand, so that I was not confused by the fog.
If you walk into the white mist ahead, you will definitely not be able to return.
"This place is really interesting."
The winding tunnel actually leads directly to the foot of the mountain. Not far ahead of us is the intersection going up the mountain.
Cui Hao came to my side curiously and took a look outside.
I reached out and clicked on the passage.
"If you regret it, you can go out now and I won't stop you. But if you continue to follow me in, you might encounter other dangers."
Cui Hao took the bottle back into his arms, grabbed my arm and took half a step back.
"If you don't go, I've already taken your things. How can I have the nerve to leave now? Don't worry, I'll go back with you."
Cui Hao poked his head and took a look outside.
"But this road is much safer than the previous one. After all, we don't have to face those ghosts anymore."
I nodded, turned around, and walked back quickly.
Cui Hao hurriedly followed.
Came to the Dingshan Stone Monument again.
I turned the compass, and as the pointer pointed, my eyes fell back on the earthquake location in the east.
"Fat man, I want to enter the wound door! The weirder the place, the higher the possibility of a corpse appearing."
I looked back at him.
"If you don't think about waiting for me here, that's fine."
Cui Hao put his arms around my shoulders and walked to the injury door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the inscription.
Two clicks.
A tunnel was revealed at the inscription, and the entrance to the passage was opened again.
Cui Hao took out the thick hemp rope and tied it to the nearby monument pillar.
He waved at me and climbed down first.
"I'm so sorry. Are you the kind of person who is unloyal and leaves your brothers in danger?"
Cui Hao grabbed the hemp rope and slid down, quickly disappearing into the pit.
I followed to the pothole and looked down with my flashlight.
A faint cool breeze carrying water vapor blew out from underneath the hollow.
I felt confused.
"Is there water down there?"
Cui Hao's shouts were faintly heard from below.
"Master Xiaoman, come down quickly."
I only hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the rope and slid down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I landed, Cui Hao grabbed my arm.
"Master Xiaoman, look ahead."
In front of us is a huge underground space.
The space is hundreds of square meters wide, and a wide and surging river rushes past us.
The river water lapped on both sides of the bank, gradually shooting out pieces of flying spray.
"Master Xiaoman, how can there be such a big underground river underground?"
The underground river meanders through, and the sound of splashing water is almost deafening.
The river flows east-west, shaped like a giant dragon, across the bottom of the tomb.
Except for a wide and vast underground river in front, there are no tombs or structures around.
"This place dug such a large underground space just to take a secret passage?"
Cui Hao started and came to the Anhe River, staring at the anxious Anhe water with confusion on his face.
"Damn it, these people don't work at night. The shop is closed during the day, so they are busy!"
I stared at the river passing by, and suddenly a thought came to my mind.
I grabbed Cui Hao.
"Don't tell me, are things under the river?"
The huge river water hits both sides.
Cui Hao's eyes changed immediately.
"That's right. I've also heard people talk about this underground water tomb. It's so weird here, but it's not impossible."
With that said, Cui Hao rolled up his sleeves hesitantly.
"I just don't know what's down there. Is there any danger if I just dive in like this?"
I stretched out my hand to stop him and blocked Cui Hao behind me.
"I'll tie a rope around my waist. I'll jump down first later and you can hold me with the rope."
I pointed to the bottom of the river and at the same time took out a rope and tied it around my waist.
"When the time comes, you can hold my rope as long as you want. If you find that I haven't come out after diving for three minutes, then pull me up."
The river keeps flowing, and I don't know what's underneath it.
Coupled with the pitch black underground, shining a flashlight on the river water only made it appear that the water was turbid and even dark.
The visibility was so low that it was impossible to see what was underneath the river.
After Cui Hao heard my request, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"If you keep going like this, what if something happens?"
I shook my head and insisted on jumping down.
Cui Hao finally had no choice but to compromise, tightening the other end of the rope and wrapping it around his waist.
"Go! I'll be waiting for you here. Make sure you come back alive."
I took a deep breath and plunged into the river.
open one's eyes.
The water under the river was so turbid that it was completely unclear what was going on at the bottom of the river.
But just after I dived down about three or four meters.
Suddenly I saw that the visibility around me had become higher.
I glanced up.
Under the water, the river water above the head was extremely turbid, and there seemed to be countless silt and sediment floating in it.
But the water at the bottom was extremely clear and there was nothing there.
"How is this going?"
Even if the river water mixed two kinds of water with different densities, it would never be possible to form such a phenomenon.
I was doubtful, but the circumstances did not allow me to think too much.
I continued to lurk and swim downward to check what was going on below.
As the visibility increased, I raised my flashlight and looked around, and immediately I could see the surrounding situation clearly.
I saw strange rocks standing on both sides of the embankment in front of me, but there were actually several underground caves.
There are deep and dark caves, some big and some small, and I don't know where they lead.
I lurked and swam underground, not sure which hole to choose to go in to check the situation.
besides.
I also swam to the bottom.
Although the water here looks extremely wide, the depth of the water is not very high.
It is only about 20 meters deep and touches the bottom of the river.
There is actually a layer of blood-red sand deposited underneath, and I don't know what it is.
I didn't dare to touch it easily, and I had already reached the limit of holding my breath.
I could only swim upwards with my head and quickly dived out from below.
See me show up.
Cui Hao quickly tightened the rope and quickly pulled me to the shore.
"How's the situation down there?"
He patted me on the back and asked about the situation below.
I briefly recounted to him everything I had just seen.
"It's very strange down there. The river is about 20 meters deep and wide on both sides. There are holes in the stone wall on the other side of the river under the water."
"I roughly counted and found that there were at least twenty or thirty holes, all of different sizes that could pass through. I wasn't sure whether to go in to check the situation, so I came up."
After hearing what I said, Cui Hao couldn't help but be shocked.
"Do you think the holes in the ground are naturally formed, or are they artificially carved?"
I thought for a moment, recalling what I saw at that time.
"Some are artificially carved, and some are formed naturally. The edges of the side walls of several caves are very sharp, and the shapes are also very special. At first glance, they are formed by nature. The edges of several other caves are extremely smooth, and it seems that someone has polished them."
I looked back at Cui Hao, already making up my mind.
"It seems that this tomb is not empty. Things are probably inside this hole."
I plan to go down again and check out the situation.
Cui Hao grabbed my arm and shook his head at me.
"Don't go, Mr. Man, can we change to another tombstone?"
Seeing my confusion, he sighed and explained.
"The two of us are not professional divers, and we are not good at underground skills. If we accidentally encounter something, we might be buried directly here."
Cui Hao pointed out where we came from.
"Moreover, even if the cave is artificially carved, there may not necessarily be shrouds inside. In addition, there must be water in the cave. If the cave is too long, it will be impossible for us to swim to the end."
Cui Hao analyzed the pros and cons with me bit by bit.
"So according to my suggestion, it's best not to go down now. Let's keep this place, and after we get out of the gate of life, I'll prepare diving equipment for you. If you haven't found the shroud by then, then I will risk my life to accompany you. , come with me, Mr. Man, and let’s go down and search for the ghost cave together.”
I think this is also true.
Now if we force ourselves to enter the cave entrance, if something happens, it will really not be easy to deal with.
I nodded in agreement with Cui Hao's idea.
"No problem, but before I go out, I still want to dive down and check the situation again. At least I want to confirm whether this place is worth visiting again."
Cui Hao no longer refutes, obviously acquiescing!
I continued to tighten the rope, took another deep breath, and then jumped back under the water.
It was bitingly cold under the water, and my hands and feet were numb from the cold.
I speeded up as much as possible and swam directly in the direction of the hole.
Finally this time, it took me just over half a minute to swim directly in front of these holes.
I looked at the edge of the cave wall, selected a smooth underground cavity, and drilled directly into it.
The cave was filled with river water and was extremely cold.
For some reason, the water here is actually a bit colder than outside.
As I walked through it, my hands and feet were so frozen that I could hardly paddle.
I held my breath and continued swimming forward.
Finally, I swam to the depths of the cave. I shined my flashlight around, and I was surprised to find a door here.
The gate is made of bluestone and has several patterns carved on it.
It was obviously carved and placed here deliberately by someone.
"There's something inside, you can go in."
I immediately reached the door and stretched out my hand to fumble around on the stone door.
It's a pity that the stone door is tightly closed, there should be another mechanism, and it cannot be opened directly.
Although I was unwilling to do so, I had already been in the water for more than three minutes. I could only try my best to remember the appearance of the bluestone gate, and swam back quickly when it was close to three and a half minutes.
