"At that time, I was at this place and was swept down by a huge whirlpool." I pointed and gestured by the river, as if I was telling a heroic story that was shocking and heartbreaking.
The madam listened with great interest. When I finished, she smiled and said, "Then the question is, where is the whirlpool?"
I explained the ebb and flow of the tide to her, but the procuress seemed a bit unconvinced. I didn't know what to say for a moment, but I decided to keep it to myself. I squatted down and observed the mud beneath the river. Strangely, the mud was somewhat loose on the top, yet very hard underneath.
This is strange. This cave must have existed for thousands of years, and the riverbed is no exception. How can a riverbed that's existed for thousands of years only have loose mud on the surface, while the majority of the mud is solid? That's simply impossible.
As I dug up the loose mud, the brothel owner watched from the side.
After a while, a piece of bronze surface appeared under the mud. It was not very big, only one square meter. There was a hole on it, and you could faintly hear the whirring sound of the wind and the gurgling sound of flowing water.
I jumped up and said to the madam, "There must be something fishy going on here!"
The madam took a look and said, "How do we get down?"
I didn't know for a moment. This bronze surface is usually hidden by the river, so it's invisible. Only now, at low tide, can it be seen. I examined it carefully and found two depressions in the bronze surface, with two crescent shapes embracing each other.
As I looked at them, I felt that these two indentations looked more and more familiar. I subconsciously took out the Pisces jade pendant and compared it with the two indentations. Damn, this one is clearly tailor-made!
I quickly placed the Pisces jade pendant down, accurately placing it into the two indentations. Seeing this, the procuress's eyes also lit up.
After the Pisces jade pendant was put down, there was a "click" sound, and the bronze floor instantly opened to both sides, and suddenly a pitch-black hole appeared, like a bottomless abyss, attracting me and the brothel owner to make a move.
"Watch me." The brothel owner pulled out a leather rope from her waist and tied it to the bronze floor buckle next to her. After tying it firmly, she jumped down into the cave along the rope, looked up and said to me, "Come down, this leather rope is very strong."
I nodded, held on to the leather rope tightly, and slowly climbed down to the cave entrance.
In this way, the two of us climbed down from the top. It was pitch black and there was no light at all. The brothel owner held a flashlight in her mouth and slithered down very flexibly. I was not so inconvenienced. Even in the dark environment, I was safe and sound.
I found that the further down I went, the louder the wind became, and the sound of the gurgling water became faster and faster.
Suddenly, the madam shouted, "There's a green light down there!"
Green light? I subconsciously looked down, but I didn't see the green light. Instead, I saw the brothel owner's proud breasts. From the angle seen from above, they looked even more plump and attractive. Most importantly, the brothel owner was dressed so revealingly. Under her V-neck, a large cleavage was exposed, and I could even see the full white area inside clearly.
I wiped my saliva, suppressed my physiological reaction, tilted my head, and really saw a beam of green light. This green light was very similar to the one in Xiaohe Cemetery. I almost thought I was in Xiaohe Cemetery again, and below was the Ghost King Palace!
But I thought too much. This green light was indeed the same as the one in Xiaohe Cemetery. It had a levitation effect. The madam and I jumped directly onto the green light, and then followed the levitation effect of the green light and jumped steadily to the ground.
The environment here was somewhat unusual. Not only was there the stench of decaying flesh and piles of dead bones, but there were walls on both sides, leaving only the front and back as a path for movement. And in front, atop the pile of bones, sat a golden coffin, with ten coffins beside it.
The brothel owner and I recognized it at first sight. The golden coffin belonged to the King of Loulan!
"You're here." Zhang Haitao and Lao Sha approached from behind. Zhang Haitao said, "After our separate efforts, we've finally solved the mystery of Xuanxuan's disappearance. Xuanxuan didn't actually disappear. Instead, she was transported directly to this 'Corpse Cave' under the influence of the Pisces Jade Pendant and some unknown force."
