Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 38 The Strange Corridor
Thinking about how pitiful King Chu Ping was, he was first buried under a deep pool by the "filial" prince, and after his death, he could not find peace, and was dragged out of his body by his enemies and whipped...

"Then what other related legends and stories, let's tell them together!" The origin of the Chu king's tomb at the bottom of the pool is really interesting.

Tang Qi thought for a while, and then said: "There is also a legend about the carp spirit. When a child is disobedient, the adults in the family will frighten him. If you are naughty, the carp spirit in the Shahe River will come ashore and drag you to Eat it in the river."

"This sounds like a way to scare children. Are there any other rumors about King Chu Ping?" Xin Ran asked from the side.

"I really can't think of it for a while, and it seems that there is nothing else." Tang Qi thought for a while and responded.

At this time, Jisheng suddenly said: "I think of a rumor about King Ping of Chu that was recorded in the history books. It is said that King Ping of Chu was a master of magic. Now, this Palace of Yi is like a world where everyone who enters cannot see each other, and has different experiences and experiences. Finally, King Ping of Chu sent someone to sort out the experiences of these warlocks, and compiled them together into a book called " "Yi Dian Lun."

"There is such a mysterious thing. I am very interested in this Palace of Yi. If I have the opportunity to visit it, it would be great." I said with emotion.

"Me too! Me too!" Jiesheng shouted excitedly from the side.

"Hey, are you two okay!" Xin Ran stretched out her hand in front of my eyes and said, "Over 2000 years, the sea has changed, even the Chu Palace is nowhere to be found, and you still want to go to the Palace of Change? Dream it!"

After the van drove into the county, the road turned into a dirt road.It was getting late, and the road was bumpy and bumpy. After driving for half an hour, the car stopped in front of a huge stone monument.

The headlights of the car hit the stone tablet, and the six bright red characters were particularly eye-catching-"Dongbu Geng City Remains".

The six of us got out of the car, and not far behind the stele was the outline of the city wall. Through the city wall, we could still see the wide river outside the wall.

It was completely dark now, and the calm river directly reflected the light spots near and far.

"Is this the location of Shimutan?" I looked at Tang Qi and confirmed.

"The Shahe River is ahead," Tang Qi said, pointing forward, "but no one knows the exact location of the Stone Tomb Pool, which has always been a mystery. But our current location is the place where someone has found out the gold plate before. "

"The Yingyuan gold plate is heavy, so it will not be carried far away by the water. If the stone tomb is really under the Shahe River, it should be nearby and not too far away." I briefly analyzed it.

Gai Cheng pointed to Guo Yu and said, "Go down and have a look in diving gear."

Guo Yu responded, went to the car and changed his diving equipment, turned on the searchlight on his head, crossed the city wall, and plunged into the Shahe River.

Only about ten minutes later, a bright light suddenly shot out from the river, and Guo Yu poked his head out from the upper reaches of the water, made a gesture of OK to us, and then swam towards the shore .

After Guo Yu went ashore, he took off his diving mask, panted and said: "After I went down, I went upstream for a while and found a large underwater tunnel, which extended obliquely downward on the inside. It was very deep and dark below. After diving for dozens of meters, I still didn’t reach the bottom, so I decided to report first.”

"I think what Guo Yu saw is likely to be the legendary deep water pool under the Shahe River—the Stone Tomb Pool. In this case, why don't we put on diving equipment and go down to find out!" I suggested from the side.

But Xin Ran said to Jiesheng: "We should leave someone up there, it's safer, little junior sister, you have no experience in going to the tomb before, why don't you just stay up there and watch out."

After hearing this, Jiesheng was not happy: "It's already here, just take me down, I also want to learn more. Besides, there is nothing to watch out for, it's dark, and no one will come here to hang out .”

If we can't beat her, we can only take her with us.

After changing the equipment, we briefly tested the communication equipment under the full-face mask, and there is no problem with normal communication within 200 meters.

Then we jumped into the sand river one after another.

It was severe winter, and as soon as he entered the water, a cold tingling sensation spread throughout his body.I still overestimated the underwater temperature. If I don't get out of this environment quickly, I will become numb in a short time.

"Guo Yu, Guo Yu, can you hear me, lead the way." I called Guo Yu, my teeth chattering a little.

"Got it! Follow me." Guo Yu turned around and responded.

The underwater vision is not good, especially at night, we can't tell who is who underwater, we are in a mess, we can only swim with the front figure.

After a while, we saw the underwater tunnel that Guo Yu mentioned.

To be precise, this is more like an artificial lake dug out of the river.There is a large area above that is covered by the underwater city wall, but looking down, the inside is dark and seems to be very deep.

"Be careful, everyone, get off one by one!" Gai Cheng's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

We dived into the deep pool one by one in order.

I entered it in the third place. The area of ​​the deep pool is much larger than I imagined, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance.The center of the pool is cut off by a high brick wall, and the upper end of the high wall is actually connected with the city wall.

We went down a full tens of meters before we saw the bottom of the pool.

Right in front of the bottom of the pool is a neat brick wall. In the center of the brick wall there is a square hole more than two meters high. I don't know where it leads.

"Everyone, be careful, it might be the tomb of King Chu inside." Gai Cheng reminded, "Enter in order."

Seeing the two people in front set off, I followed closely behind and got into the square hole.

As soon as I entered, a sense of familiarity came over me.

If it is not underwater, this is simply a very standard tunnel.The walls on both sides are paved with a whole block of square stone bricks, with detailed dragon patterns carved on them, with a strong Chu style.

Unknown yellow gemstones are inlaid in the longan of the coiled dragon pattern, and the light from the underwater lamp is reflected on it, exuding a faint seductive luster, which attracts people to come forward and touch it.

Suddenly, I approached the wall uncontrollably, and pressed a yellow gemstone. Then, I heard a "click", and a light flashed in front of my eyes. I seemed to have lost consciousness...

After waking up, I was still in the square passage, but there were no other people around.I tried to call other people through the intercom, but no one responded from the intercom.

"Is anyone there? Where are you?" I called anxiously, but still no one answered.

what happened?Where has everyone gone?
I looked around, the yellow gemstones on the wall just now had become as dull as a stone, and the entire passage was gray, and I was the only one.

I didn't know whether to go back or go forward, and after a period of mental struggle, I finally found the courage to move on.

Suddenly, there was a faint light at the very front, and then the light became stronger, and a suction suddenly appeared, and my body was sucked in uncontrollably...
