Chapter 104 Water Cave
In fact, when it comes to the issue of candidate selection, the first person Jie Laoyang thought of was Wu Sansheng, because that person is capable enough, a master in the tomb-robbing world, and has been going into tombs until now.
But he knew in his heart that there was no gold, silver or treasure in the tomb, only a strange bronze tree. He was always worried about whether he could get Wu Sanxing to agree to it smoothly.
The fact was just as he expected. After Jie Laoyang went to find Wu Sansheng, although he boasted about the tomb, Wu Sansheng was not moved at all.
I don't know what flaw he saw, but he declined.
However, he also learned from a casual conversation with Wu Sansheng that Wuxie had recently started visiting tombs. After remembering that Wuxie had come to his house and met his mother when he was a child, Lao Yang hesitated for a long time before finally choosing Wuxie.
The night went on peacefully. Jie Laoyang knew that he couldn't compete with Hei Xia Zi and no one would speak for him, so he stopped making trouble.
Lao Tai and his group put aside their thoughts after learning about the configuration of Yu Chen's team.
joke!
Across the street are the Blind Man in the South and the Mute Man in the North, the head of the Jie family, the eldest son who has no home and no background, the Feng Shui master in the business circle, and Fatty Wang, who is one of the most famous people in Panjiayuan.
Looking at his own side, there was a layman, a boss who was a drag, a half-baked master with poor tomb-robbing skills, and a group of younger brothers who had been completely defeated by the opponent's masters not long ago.
In this battle, our teammates are all idiots, and the other team is all superb...
What the hell is this?
In this situation, why don't you join the other party quickly? Is that thing on your neck used to increase your height?
The rest of the journey was much easier than before because they had Jie Laoyang, who had been there once, to lead the way. They did not follow the information on Hemuji, but instead planned to take the route that Laoyang had taken last time.
When they approached a cliff, they suddenly found that there were many more monkeys in the surrounding trees, and the squeaking and screaming were annoying. However, although some monkeys were running around, none of them came close.
Zhang Qiling stared at the group of monkeys far away from them and felt a little strange.
Ever since his blood concentration increased, he has been loved by all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs in the streets to killer whales and octopuses swimming in the deep sea, they always try to get close to him.
Why were these monkeys baring their teeth at him and looking so timid?
"There's nothing to see. These monkeys are tainted by Yin energy, just like ordinary Yin creatures. They are suppressed by Qilin."
Having dealt with those evil ghosts for a lifetime, Zhang Moyu could tell the situation of those monkeys at a glance even if he was eight feet away.
Zhang Qiling nodded to him, indicating that he understood. Zhang Moyu's constant attention to him made him feel warm from the bottom of his heart.
In front of the cave entrance that Lao Yang entered last time, they found some strange stone figurines, but they did not find anything strange on the stone figurines. Instead, they found signs of collapse next to them, and they guessed that they were brought out by the landslide.
"The last time I came, it wasn't there yet."
Although this reason is acceptable, Lao Yang already has a vague feeling that this trip will not be smooth.
There was a sunken cave on the cliff. Lao Yang explained to everyone that this was where he entered last time.
"Master Jie, there is water in this cave."
Lao Tai shone a flashlight into the cave and found that it was not too deep. It had an arched ceiling and showed obvious signs of artificial excavation.
When the light shone through, the area below sparkled, reflecting the light onto the arch, and the entire cave entrance suddenly became bright.
There is a stone door at the deepest part of the cave, which is mostly submerged in water. It is pitch black inside and nothing can be seen.
If you want to get to the stone gate, you have to wade through the water. Xie Yuchen winked at a servant beside him.
The guy nodded, took out a tape measure from the bag at his side, and measured the water depth.
"Master, preliminary measurements show the water depth is 1.43 meters."
Xie Yuchen nodded calmly. Seeing that the water surface was relatively calm and there didn't seem to be anything there, he asked the people behind him to take out the waterproof cloth from their bags, wrap up their backpacks, and prepare to go into the water.
After getting into the water, Xie Yuchen found that the water was deeper than he had just measured.
After just a few steps, the water suddenly reached his chest, and there was no foothold, which made him feel very insecure.
The icy cold water made people feel numb. People with weak constitutions like Wuxie shivered as soon as they entered the water. Without prior preparation, he almost got cramps and drowned.
In order to avoid hypothermia, several people swam forward hard, hoping to reach shore as soon as possible.
After passing through the stone gate and swimming for another ten meters, there was suddenly a bend in front, and the area became a little wider, but there was still cold water below.
"Oh my god! I'm almost freezing to death. Who on earth built this shabby road? It's flooded like this. Their construction skills are so poor."
Fatty Wang couldn't help but mutter to himself. Even a fat man like him felt very cold, not to mention Wuxie who was half-dragged and half-pulled forward by the black bear.
Wuxie gritted his teeth and held on. If he hadn't thought that although the environment was harsh, even "Little Flower Sister" could endure it, how could he be a man with a clear conscience if he couldn't bear it? He would definitely complain even louder than Fatty Wang.
"Look, the stone walls at the entrance of the cave are all large pieces of rock. Considering the semi-finished terracotta figures we saw earlier, this must have been dug by stone quarrying craftsmen, who then processed the excavated rocks into terracotta figures on site."
Although Xie Yuchen was shivering slightly from the cold, his breathing was very steady when he spoke, and he even had time to look around.
"We're... on the right path. This... this should be the outskirts of the tomb, not far from the tomb chamber."
Wuxie really wanted to get to the tomb as soon as possible. A cold wave had just hit the area a few days ago, and the water was buried deep in the cave, so the temperature was probably several degrees below zero. He was almost frozen to the point of stuttering like Lao Yang.
Seeing that everyone else seemed to be doing it with ease, it seemed that only he and Boss Li were a little exhausted. Wuxie added silently.
"Let's... swim quickly. The water is so cold that we can barely feel anything. Even if there's something in the water... it'll be hard for us to deal with it."
As soon as Wuxie finished speaking, a person in front of the team suddenly dived into the water.
Several flashlights shone over at the same time, and Lao Tai's face changed. He suddenly remembered that one of his brothers had been in that position before, so he hurriedly asked.
"Ermaozi, what are you doing? What happened?"
The water surface was calm for a second, and the person who dived into the water suddenly emerged again and wiped his face in a panic.
Seeing that he was fine, everyone relaxed a little.
The man looked panicked and was about to say something when he dived into the water again. This time, Zhang Qiling and the others discovered that the man was dragged into the water by something.
