After waiting quietly for a few seconds, I took two deep breaths, immediately stood up with my bag, and walked quickly towards the pond.
I stepped lightly into the water, patted Lao Ka, and started swimming downstream.
This time it was different. The bags we brought were very heavy, so we dived very quickly. Lao Ka used to do this kind of work, so he is naturally good at water. I pointed to the collapsed hole at the bottom of the pond, and he understood immediately.
Swimming past the dragon monkey, Lao Ka obviously slowed down, probably because he was startled by the sudden sight.
The dragon monkey still maintains an up and down posture at the bottom of the water, floating unsteadily.
Compared to a few days ago, it has begun to deteriorate. My body feels like it has been deflated and I have gained a lot of weight.
More than ten minutes later.
There was a sound of water breaking.
He took off his mask and swam to the shore. When he came up, Lao Ka said: "Why didn't you say there was a dead person under the water? I was really shocked just now. That person was..."
"It has nothing to do with us. The man was under the water before we came here. We don't know his name."
Of course I won't admit it, just say I don't know him.
Lao Ka looked at me with a somewhat thoughtful look. It's okay to know some things well and not to reveal them.
"What a strange place."
Lao Ka took photos back and forth with his flashlight.
"I knew about Guizai Ling, but I didn't expect...n There is such a unique cave underground. It's an eye-opener."
Lao Ka followed me on the road without asking me what tomb or where it was.
This is the professional rule, accept money to do things, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
I took the bag I left here beforehand, which contained our wetsuits.
It's about one o'clock on the ground now. I expect to arrive around six o'clock, and the time I set for me is twelve o'clock tonight. After twelve o'clock, it will be Monday.
Seeing that I was carrying two big bags, he said, "The road ahead should be difficult. Do you need me to pick one up for you?"
"No, I'm fine, let's go."
It wasn't until after five o'clock that we arrived at the Thief's Cave.
First unload the bag, then grab the rope and slide down.
After Lao Ka saw the blasted doors, he couldn't help but let out a few exclamations.
"who is it?"
Suddenly, a female voice came from the darkness ahead.
"Sister Chun, don't panic, it's me."
I turned on the flashlight and shook it forward.
Seeing clearly that it was me who was coming, Ah Chun said: "Come quickly, Wang Baotou is waiting."
As I entered the tomb chamber, I saw that the red coffin had been dismantled.
Douyazai was sitting cross-legged on the coffin board. There were some jade pots in front of him, which he was washing vigorously with water.
Like several other people, Xiaoxuan and Brother Yu were also sitting on a coffin board. Those who didn't know it thought this was a water rafting amusement park.
Lao Ka stepped forward and said, "The king is the leader. I have heard about his name for a long time."
He coughed twice and forced a smile on his face.
"Brother Lao Ka, you have a tough idea. I also happen to know that you have settled in Changzhou. It's too much trouble to disturb you."
Lao Ka nodded: "Okay, since I have collected the money, I will stop talking nonsense and tell you the situation."
I introduced: "It is about 15 to 20 meters underwater. It is a coffin. It is integrated and cast with molten iron. The visibility at the bottom of the water is low. There are many stone sculptures around. Brother Ka, it is not easy."
"Um... did you go down from here?"
Lao Ka walked over and looked down.
The red coffin has been dismantled, and the waist pit now exposed looks like a rectangular toilet, with water constantly rising upwards.
Underwater cutting is a technical job. Why should we find someone? Because we can't do it.
Some teams in the southern faction have people like this. In the second half of 2009, many rusty Ming Dynasty Shenwu iron cannons suddenly appeared on the black antique market in the south. They were installed on both sides of the warship. One of them was even on the " "Treasure Hunting" column, these are all cut from ancient sunken ships.
The inflatable belt and cylinder that Lao Ka brought with him were different from those used by Master Ji before. His inflatable belt was wrapped with soft copper, which was thinner and had sealing wax at the joints. The cylinder is also smaller and is a hydrogen-oxygen mixing bottle specially designed for underwater use.
"You want to take off your head too?" Brother Yu asked, taking a diving suit.
He nodded and said, "I'm going to go down and take command, leaving one or two people above to watch, while everyone else goes into the water."
Because the diving suits were not enough, they looked at each other and Brother Yu said: "Let's do this. You two girls stay here and watch, and we guys go down. This is fair."
"What?"
"fair?"
Ah Chun raised his eyebrows and said, "Yu Wenbin, do you look down on me?"
Brother Yu immediately waved his hand: "No, I don't look down on you, I just think it's better for you to stay on top."
While putting on his clothes, he said: "Just listen to Wen Bin, Xiaoxuan, you and Miss Achun stay above to take care of the situation. It's also important to keep an eye on this place, and keep the flashlight on."
Xiaoxuan nodded and said yes, Ah Chun would not argue.
Several people took to the water one after another with headlamps.
Black, too dark.
Thousands of years have passed, and not a ray of sunlight can shine underwater. There are no fish, not even aquatic plants can be seen. The only thing we can rely on is a headlamp.
A large number of stone sculptures of ghost cubs are lying quietly on the bottom of the water, and some are still standing.
These ghost stones seem to have not been disturbed for a long time.
I dived down to the iron house and took a look with my headlamp.
It is similar to what Dou Yazai described. It is made of pig iron, stained with rust, and has doors, windows and eaves carved throughout. There are many nail patterns protruding from the two small doors of the iron house. If you reach out and touch it, you can feel the unevenness.
Lao Ka wore a mask and sunglasses, and carried two gas cylinders, one large and one small, on his back, one connected to the mask, the other to the hose, and the special cutting gun in his hand.
On the way here, Lao Ka gave me a general introduction, so I know a little bit about it.
There are two ways to light a fire. One is to light it on the water and swim down with a cutting gun.
The other is to point it underwater. He has a homemade lithium battery lighter, the size of a palm, and uses this point.
At that time, Shi Laoka said with a smile: "Professional people will install anti-backfire devices around the gas supply main pipe, and they will also install air leakage detection and explosion-proof valves at the bottom of the cutting torch."
I asked him if you didn't?
"Do you think I have it?"
I shook my head, and he gave me a homemade gas bottle and an ordinary leather pipe.
I asked, what if the operation is incorrect and the air leaks? Will it explode when exposed to an open flame?
He nodded and said: "Air leakage is bound to happen. I have been working for so many years, and there has never been a time when there was no air leakage. It leaked again and again."
Seeing my ugly expression, he added: "When you cut something underwater, the unburned hydrogen will gradually move upwards. When I cut, I also cut from top to bottom."
"As long as I keep a steady hand and keep the fire going down, I'll be fine."
After thinking about this, I took back my thoughts.
Watching the old card is already on fire.
The special cutting gun emitted a yellow-blue flame underwater. Lao Ka adjusted his sunglasses and swam over with the cutting gun in hand.
He moved very carefully, raising his elbows very high during swimming to avoid hitting the air supply pipe.
Unable to speak underwater, Lao Ka pressed his hand on the small door of the iron house and turned to look at the leader.
He gestured with his head, meaning let’s get started.
Because people float up and down in the water, Dou Sprout got under Lao Ka's crotch and held his legs tightly with his hands to keep him as stable as possible.
The cutting gun spurted out tongues of yellow-blue flames, forcing back the surrounding water flow, and Lao Ka's long hair flew back and forth.
The cutting gun approached the iron house and gradually increased its firepower.
The flames reflected on the old cassette's sunglasses, making people watch.
It was like his eyes were on fire.
