The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 61 Exit
Back into the cold groundwater again, I don’t need to mention that feeling, no matter how powerful the lighter is, it is impossible to burn in the water, so after entering the water, my vision returned to darkness.I have no way of knowing where the chaotic water flow will lead people, so I can only struggle to float to the surface of the water, trying to feel the dark wind mixed in the underground channel as much as possible.

The darkness makes people's senses very sharp. The feeling of the wind blowing on the face, the nuances of wind speed and size, became so clear for the first time. In this feeling, I can feel that I am getting closer to the air outlet .

As my body was knocked off the wall again, I caught a protruding rock, which gave me a brief respite.Taking this opportunity, I lit the lighter and began to observe the surrounding situation. The water surface of this section of the channel widened a lot, so the water flow was not as intense as before, and the flame of the windproof lighter in my hand was no longer as straight and thin as before. long, but blown by the wind,

This lighter is said to be able to withstand natural winds of 36 miles per hour, and it seems that the advertisement is not false.

I looked along the upwind vent, because the lighting range was not strong, so farther away, I could only see a piece of darkness. I listened carefully, and besides the sound of water, I could also hear the sound of whistling wind.

That's right, the upwind should not be far away from me, I have to find a way to get close to it.If you continue to drift with the tide, you have to stop next time, but it will not be so easy.

My eyes couldn't help looking at the place where I was holding my hand. The stone wall of the underground river channel has been impacted by thousands of years of ground water, and the surface is very smooth, so it was really surprising that I was able to catch this thing this time.I observed carefully, and was immediately pleasantly surprised to find that the second half of the underground river turned out to be a hole structure, and the inside of the stone wall was riddled with holes. At first glance, it looked like a miniature version of a cave.And around these holes, there are naturally many things of different sizes that can be grasped by people.

This is really the blessing of the patriarch, and it is a big luck.

I put a stick of incense on the patriarch in my heart, and immediately bit the lighter in my mouth.

Because the lighter was placed at an angle, the flame came out along the metal air vent, and the flame was much weaker, but it could let me free up my hand, instead of going out as soon as I let go of the plastic lighter like a plastic lighter.

In this way, I started to alternate my hands and walk along these small stone pillars that can be grasped. This process is more labor-intensive, but it is more stable.My sight has been fixed on the position of the upwind vent, and soon, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be a black hole in that place. Due to the light, I couldn't see it very clearly, but it was inspiring enough.

However, just as I was about to walk to the upwind position in one breath, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye.

It was stuck in a small hole in front of me, and it seemed to have been washed down from upstream, floating in the water, black.At first I didn't realize what it was, but when I took a closer look, I suddenly realized that what was floating in the water was actually human hair!
It should be a woman's long hair, a big ball, caught by a small stone pillar with finger length in the hole, sinking and floating in the water flow, making people feel scalp numb.

How could there be hair in this place?And it's a woman's hair?
This hair gave me the feeling that someone threw the long cut hair into the water, it was just a solitary clump.If it appeared on a human head, I might be able to accept it, but it seems very strange to appear here alone.

Could it be that there used to be women in this place?
Could this be Qiuhuangxi's hair?
I recalled that the corpse manipulated by Zhou Xuanye before did not have any hair on its head, as if the entire scalp had been ripped off.If that corpse had hair at the time, I wouldn't have mistaken her for Tan Ren.

Thinking of Qiuhuangxi, I felt a little sad. I didn't expect that neither she nor Tan Ren could keep the water. I knew Wang Zehai's 300 million yuan was so difficult to earn, so I really shouldn't have accepted the order.However, it is useless to think about what has happened now. I put aside these thoughts and continued to move forward. Within two steps, I discovered something.

The reason why there are some, rather than one, is that there are many things.

There are some small things stuck here. At a glance, it is some rags and clothes. What's more, I also found an old-fashioned watch.The appearance of this watch made me realize immediately that this ancient underground river channel has not only swallowed the lives of Qiu Huangxi and Tan Ren so far, I am afraid that other people have also been killed!

I immediately thought of the people who dug the snake cave. Those people dug underground caves and connected the ancient water intake. They probably also went down this underground river to inquire about these things. Could these things be left by those people? of?
What is the origin of those people?
What is the purpose of doing these things?
Judging from some of the objects stuck here, those people may have lost their lives.

At first glance, they were all tattered things, and I couldn't see any other information, so I didn't stay long and continued to go towards the wind.Soon, the black hole appeared in front of me. The moment I saw it, I almost felt like crying.

The front of the river channel narrowed, and a natural stone cave about three meters high was exposed on the stone wall. A quarter of the cave was flooded with water, but more places were without water.Most of the water rushed to the deeper strata along the terrain. After I climbed into the cave, I couldn't help sitting on the ground, gasping for breath.

Sitting on the ground, the water did not reach the waist, although it was cold, but after getting used to this kind of cold, it was not too hard to bear.I straightened the lighter I was holding in my mouth, the flame stood up, and the light became brighter. ,
Observing the interior of the cave with this light, the surrounding area is extremely smooth, which is the result of the erosion of groundwater.Obviously, the groundwater here should also have tides, and the water potential varies. We fell this time and encountered a period when the water potential was low, so the hole was exposed.

Sitting on the edge of the cave, from time to time, there will be a dark wind blowing over.

Although the wind is not strong, it has a fresh breath.

At the end of it, there must be an exit!
All I could think about was going out to meet Zhou Xuanye and the others, and I didn't care about taking a rest, so I immediately started walking inside with a lighter in hand.

As soon as a person stands up, the water level reaches the calf. There are no living things in the clean and clear groundwater. When walking, there is a burst of splashing water.The cave was damp and cold, the dark wind was blowing, and the terrain began to gradually rise.

Although I don't read much, I still have basic common sense. Why do the caves washed out by groundwater go up?Before, I was only concerned about running for my life, and I didn't think of this level. Now, with the gradually rising terrain, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Soon, my feeling came true.The location I was in before was about 50 meters underground, and the terrain of this cave gradually went up, so I walked for more than 20 minutes without reaching the end.

But at this time, there was no water inside the cave due to the rising terrain.

The cave is very dry, and the higher it goes up, more and more artificial traces are revealed.

In the depths of the ground before, the cave was opened on the stone wall, which was completely a whole, but now that the terrain has risen, its structure is no longer completely stone, but mixed with a lot of earth and stone. Look is man-made!

Could it be that group of people did something good again?
This is obviously impossible, because from the perspective of craftsmanship, the technology used in the cave is very primitive, and the stones for filling are interlaced. This structure is a relatively old reinforced structure. Due to the time and material consumption, this technology has long been abolished after the post-modern era.

Obviously, this is the masterpiece of the ancients.

I thought of the petroglyphs on the stone wall of Dashuikou, and thought: Could it also be the product of the people of that ancient country?No, since the water outlet has been made, what is the purpose of building such a big hole?You must know that in ancient times, manpower and equipment could not keep up. It is not an easy task to build a cave that is more than 40 meters deep underground and has an overall length of no less than a kilometer.

At least, I haven't come out yet.

Just when I was full of doubts, a fork suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. One went to the left and the other went to the right, forming a T-shape with the fork I was in now.

At the same time, there are three words on the stone wall in front of me.

go right.

The characters are traditional characters.

If this cave was left by the ancient civilization of the Western Regions, then how could traditional Chinese characters appear in the cave?

Who left this word?
