Sacrifice of Grave Robbers

Chen Yu's heart trembled, and suddenly he felt the chill from the soles of his feet along his back to the top of his head. He opened his mouth and said in an unsteady voice: "Feng Han"

He knows! Finally he knows—

"Yeah." Feng Han stared at Chen Yu for a while, but didn't say anything. He just turned his head, and after Luo Qing, Aji and others recorded the time and order, he took all the scrolls back into his hands.

Then, under Chen Yu's nervous eyes, Feng Han was silent for a while, and said: "There is one more thing, I don't know if you have noticed, there is something in the water."

"What? Did Brother Feng find anything in the lake?" Ma Wenqing was very interested, and came over to ask.

Chen Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his palms on his thick hiking pants, and his heartbeat slowly returned to normal.It seemed that Feng Han hadn't noticed it yet, maybe even if he had doubts, he only saw something wrong with the handwriting.By the way, why is this guy so stern?

Anyway, he escaped.

Feng Han glanced at the excited Ma Wenqing in confusion, and nodded, "A black shadow."

Ma Wenqing looked at Feng Han with his mouth wide open. It was not a weapon, but a terrifying thing. He was a little hesitant to continue asking.

Aji took Feng Han's words, frowned and said: "It seems that you have also found out. I wanted to confirm it before telling everyone. However, if we are about to go into the water, we must take precautions. In the When we entered the water for the first time yesterday during the day, Lao Ba fainted in the second section of the passage. At that time, I took him back, and it turned out that he was at the front, and the two of us became the last in the team when we went upstream."

"At that time, Lao Ba was in a coma. I didn't know what was going on. I thought he was very heavy. Of course, it might be due to the water pressure. When I couldn't help looking back with the flashlight, I saw a black shadow. Ba’s side profile looked like a person. Seeing me turn around, the black shadow swam away to the distance at a very fast speed. It’s a pity that Lao Ba couldn’t last long in the water at that time and couldn’t go back to chase. So, now Not sure what it was."

Feng Han was thoughtful after hearing Aji's words, and after a while, he whispered: "It seems that it is indeed targeting us, not only during the day, but also at night, and it appeared twice, every time we entered It has appeared at the entrance of the passage."

Chen Yu suddenly thought of something, called out, and when everyone was looking at him, he was a little embarrassed, and stammered: "That night, Naibao also chased a black shadow into the water, I thought I was dazzled .”

Ma Wenqing slapped his thigh suddenly, and suddenly realized, "Hey, maybe it's a big fish. That dog barks in the middle of the night every time. Is it because he noticed it?"

Chen Yubai glanced at Ma Wenqing, "Are you really treating your father as a fisherman?"

The unexpected discovery made everyone discuss for a while, but very few people were inclined towards Ma Wenqing. Luo Qing suddenly said: "Could it be that thing in the passage, maybe it can come out..."

As soon as these words came out, the people around fell silent.People feel more and more that the black shadow is like a harbinger, a harbinger of encountering strange or dangerous things.

Luo Qing continued: "In short, its existence is a potential danger to us. I suggest that when we go into the water this time, as long as we encounter that black shadow, we should get rid of it as time permits. .Even if it's really a fish, it's big enough to be a water monster."

Several people around nodded silently, agreeing with Luo Qing's statement, as long as they saw it, they would immediately get rid of that shadow, no matter it was a fish or something else.

Because the entry time of each passage is strictly limited, it is impossible to take everyone down now, unless you go in again at three o'clock the next night.

Aji rejected the proposal, and analyzed: "There are too many people to help, and it's too dangerous to go down here. It's not necessary to go all the way. It's better to choose some people to go down, just bring things up."

Ma Wenqing also meant the same thing. After discussing for a long time, they finally decided who would go into the water: Feng Han, Chen Yu, Ma Wenqing, Liansheng, Aji, Luo Qing, Minister You.

Ling Yun led the others to stand guard on the shore, and if something really happened, he would think of a solution.

The two buddies they brought down earlier also offered to go into the water with them. The old eight looked at Aji and said, "Brother Ji, let me follow. After all, I have been there once and seen that thing. My psychological ability to accept it You can be stronger. You can’t take a buddy with you. I may not be able to help you if you are very busy, but you will never be a hindrance. Moreover, when it comes to water, I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that it is the best among all the buddies.”

Hu Zi glanced at him suspiciously, then leaned over and said, "If you want to say that, I also apply to go into the water, Brother Feng, we have both been in the water before, and we know a lot about the business. If you can get Lao Ba Take it with you, then take me with you, I will definitely not cause you any trouble." Hu Zi seemed determined to follow Feng Han.

Aji frowned, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, pursed the corners of his mouth, but did not object, just said: "You really want to follow me and I won't stop you, but this time is too tight, if something happens then, I'm afraid we don't have time to save lives."

Lao Ba nodded cheerfully: "Success, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problems." There was no trace of fainting from yesterday's fright.

When everyone had discussed everything and went to prepare separately, Chen Yu waited for Feng Han to go away, wiped the cold sweat that had just emerged from his forehead, pulled Aji and said, "Why did you agree to take them?" It is impossible to predict what will happen in the water according to the method of launching.In case of danger, there is no place to call for help.

Aji looked at Chen Yu, patted the back of his hand to signal him not to worry, and said in a low voice: "They are Boss Zhuang's confidantes, sending them to follow may have the meaning of surveillance. If I don't let them follow , They will be more anxious. Maybe they will break in privately tomorrow. If the situation is touched, we will still be implicated. It is better to bring them from the beginning."

Chen Yu understood that Aji had just arrived at the dealer, no matter how capable he was, he probably had an eyeliner by his side.

Chen Yu and Aji went back to the tent to pack their things. When Chen Yu stuffed the flashlight and other tools into the big bag and filled it with food habitually, he suddenly stopped.

Looking at Little Fatty who had been lying at his feet earnestly waiting to be fed, Chen Yu squatted down, patted its head, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take you down this time."

Fatty looked at Chen Yu innocently, and there was an illusion of moisture in his round and big eyes. He stood up and yelled, and hugged Chen Yu's leg with his paws flatteringly.

Chen Yu didn't say anything else, just took out Xiaopang's special rice bowl, filled it with beef, and when it was eating happily, turned and walked outside the tent.

Chen Yu asked Xiao Qi, the owner of the dealer, to help take care of the leopard. The young man liked to laugh, was quite patient, and had a better temper than others.Chen Yu handed the big bag full of food to Xiao Qi, like a parent who entrusts a child to a neighbor, feeling that there is never enough to give.

It wasn't until Xiao Qi couldn't help interrupting Chen Yu, saying that he could recite the leopard breeding method, that he reluctantly shut up.After walking back two steps, Chen Yu couldn't help but said again: "Just move into our tent and stay with Xiaopang." I don't know why, Chen Yu always feels uneasy, maybe it's because of this It was the first time that Xiaopang was left alone.

Xiao Qi looked at Chen Yu with the corners of his mouth twitching, and finally understood why that leopard was so smooth and weird, it was more pampered than a child.

Ma Wenqing rescued Xiao Qi who was on the verge of running away. He pulled Chen Yu and walked out, saying: "Quick, there is a situation. I was going to see if Father Naibao had any private collections. Guess what, he There was someone in the house."

Chen Yu was taken aback, "You mean Dad is back?"

"That's not true. The person in the room is not Naibao's father, but a lama." Ma Wenqing shook his head and said while pulling Chen Yu along.

"Lama?" Chen Yu looked confused. What is the situation? Why is there a lama in Naibao's house at this time?

On the way, Ma Wenqing greeted Feng Han and Liansheng by the way.At this time, it was almost noon, and the situation in the wooden house could be clearly seen from the open door.

Chen Yu saw a man standing with his back to them, with a gray coat on top, a red lama robe and a hat, and the gray-white Hu お稥冂子子 on the side, who seemed to be very old.

Chen Yu gave Ma Wenqing a wink, and Ma Wenqing stepped forward, knocked on the door, and said, "Master, excuse me."

The old lama turned around, except for Feng Han's expressionless face, Lian Sheng was still smiling, Ma Wenqing and Chen Yu were startled.

The person who turned around was so old that he couldn't tell his age, his face was full of wrinkles, and a pair of small eyes were exposed between the wrinkles, but he was still quite clear, staring at several people.

Ma Wenqing collected himself, fearing that the old lama would be deaf, and called out loudly: "Master, do you know Naibao old man?"

The old lama's eyes finally stopped on Feng Han, and after looking at it for a long time, he said slowly: "It seems very unfortunate to be visiting an old friend, he has gone out."

Ma Wenqing immediately picked it up and said, "We are also looking for Dad. He jumped into the lake two days ago and never came up again. It's too worrying."

Chen Yu quietly observed the expression of the old lama, but got nothing, those folds did not move at all.

The old lama stopped for a long time, sighed, turned back to pet the big yellow dog and said, "Let's go, come back with me."

After finishing speaking, the old man looked up at several people and said sharply: "Those legends are all true, you'd better leave here. It's not a place where everyone can go, be careful if you go back."

Chen Yu didn't refute, but just said politely: "Master, when we came here, we heard that we can't go down to the lake. There are monsters in the lake, but we haven't seen what kind of monsters they are. We can't give up so easily—the mission , and we don’t feel relieved if Naibao’s father doesn’t come back.”

The old lama finally looked away from Feng Han, glanced at Chen Yu, shook his head, and said, "It's not those legends, you are outsiders, and the villagers will not tell you easily."

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Then can the master give us some guidance?"

The old lama didn't refuse either, turned around and went out, looked at Jingshui Lake and said, "This Jingshui Lake has been recorded since ancient times, but since the day this lake existed, no one has been able to go down there. Treasures, monsters, maybe All of them. Apart from these, there are still many strange legends about Jingshui Lake left. The weirdest one is that there are people in this lake."

Ma Wenqing's eyes widened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Is there someone? Even if there are people in this damn lake, they are dead. How can there be such a legend? Someone made it up to scare people, right?"

The old lama continued to stare at the lake with not too big eyes, shook his head and said: "Even if someone made it up, it was hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and no one can say for sure. In the past, I found that There was a story about this lake, saying that it was originally flat, but someone chose this place to start a big project, and the strange thing is that something was built on the ground, but dug down.”

"Even if it is a mausoleum, it is impossible to dig that deep. It is also mentioned in the scriptures that there were tens of thousands of people who built this big project at that time, but when the big project was almost completed, the order to let those craftsmen come up did not come. Just fill this place with water into a lake. From that day on, no one can go down this lake. Moreover, for thousands of years, local chronicles have mentioned several times that some people have seen craftsmen in ancient costumes working on the lake. reflection."

The four people listened intently, the old lama's voice was old and deep, and he continued: "Decades ago, people on the opposite mountain also saw the wonders reflected in the lake. It is also said that those underground craftsmen have long been drowned in the lake, and their souls are trapped by the lake, unable to reincarnate, waiting for the strangers to enter the lake. Therefore, few people go down Someone came back alive."

"Damn, this person is really wicked. Just like when the ancient emperors built the tomb, they killed all the people who built the tomb in the tomb for the sake of keeping secrets. Be darling, tens of thousands of people, who is this? I'm really not afraid of harming my morality." Ma Wenqing murmured in amazement.

The old lama squinted his eyes, with a mocking smile on his face, "It is said that the tomb built under this is a tomb of gods, and there is also a saying that it is a tomb of dragons. When this tomb is opened, there will be a catastrophe. I have persuaded many times Naibao, it's a pity he won't listen. Hey, what should come will come, what should go will go."

"God's tomb..." Chen Yu murmured suddenly, the hand scroll left by the old man also mentioned the god's tomb, and it also said that there are scriptures that only one person can open it, and it won't be the same as what the old lama said A book? Thinking of this, Chen Yu suddenly looked at Ma Wenqing who turned his head to talk to him, and shook his head slightly at him.

What Chen Yu meant was not to say his name. When Chen Yu wanted to change the subject first, Ma Wenqing had already shouted: "Little Chen Yu, if so many people died in the lake, all the dead ghosts There are so many, no wonder they created a ghost formation to scare people."

Chen Yu's expression changed immediately, and he said angrily, "What nonsense!" Then his eyes immediately turned to the old lama.

Sure enough, the old lama's ugly and ugly face turned around slowly, stared at him firmly, and said to Chen Yu after a long time: "You are very clean."

After saying this, the old lama ignored everyone, turned around and walked towards the wooden house. After a while, the big yellow dog followed the old lama wearily.

clean?Chen Yu looked at the back of the old lama in confusion, what does this mean?

Liansheng patted Chen Yu's shoulder and said, "I heard that Tibetans say that they are clean or not, and sometimes they mean upright or evil. It seems that our pure little Chen Yu has been recognized."

Chen Yu twitched the corners of his mouth. Although he really didn't do anything bad, but right now, even being normal is a surprise to him...

The four of them walked back along the shore of the lake. Ma Wenqing felt his stomach was empty, and said, "I've been busy all morning, so let's put everything else aside. Let's go back to eat quickly."

At this time, a person came up to meet them, saw them stop and hesitated, finally came over, greeted with a smile: "Brother Feng, Brother Lian, Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma."

Ma Wenqing was taken aback, and said, "Beard? Why are you here, what's the matter?"

Huzi looked at Feng Han, hesitating a little, probably because he wanted to say something to Feng Han alone.But seeing the thick skins of the other three, they had no intention of leaving first, and could only say, "There is something wrong, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Ma Wenqing couldn't see other people's ink marks, and when he stared, he was ready to curse.

Hu Zi hurriedly said: "I found that Lao Ba is a little abnormal!"

Chen Yuqi asked: "Didn't the team doctor say he's fine? Why is he abnormal?"

Hu Zi glanced back, lowered his voice and said: "That's because you guys don't know Lao Ba well. Although he is good at water, he is timid and afraid, and he will never take the initiative to go into the water with him. Moreover, although he usually He doesn’t speak much, and he will answer when he talks to him anyway. Since he woke up after fainting, he has not said a word except telling the team doctor that he is fine, and offering to follow him into the water. Really, I told him All night and all morning, he ignored me a word."

The muscles on the bearded and chubby face trembled, and he was a little excited at the end, and the saliva flew up, "This guy has become more gloomy since he woke up. It's not just me, anyone who talks to him doesn't care. You didn’t even grab my meal, there must be a problem!”

Liansheng looked at Hu Zi with a half-smile, but Feng Han nodded seriously at Hu Zi, and said, "Understood, I will pay attention."

Huzi was instantly satisfied, and walked away in a hurry.

Chen Yu looked at the other three people, and said, "Old Ba fainted once, does he really have a mental problem?"

Ma Wenqing hesitated, and said, "That kid is cautious at best, not timid. As for the gloomy personality, it's really hard to say."

Liansheng looked at Feng Han: "What do you say?"

Feng Han said: "If he wants to follow, let him follow. If there is a problem, I prefer to solve it on the spot."

Liansheng smiled and nodded in agreement.

After the four returned to the tent, what Huzi mentioned did not tell the others.Ma Wenqing and Aji checked the equipment and food of the people who went into the water, while Minister You and Luo Qing pulled Ling Yun to talk.

This time the order of getting into the water was changed, Luo Qing took the initiative to say that it was at the front, then Hu Zi, Lian Sheng, Lao Ba, Ma Wenqing, Chen Yu, Feng Han, Minister You, and finally A Ji.Aji proposed to change places with Feng Han several times, Feng Han looked at Chen Yu, but did not agree, Aji's face was a bit unsightly.

Chen Yu was actually quite satisfied with this position in his heart. From some aspects, Ma Wenqing in front had a good understanding with him, and Feng Han behind him also made him feel quite safe.Moreover, if Luo Qing takes the lead, the chance of making mistakes will be much smaller.

After eating dinner early, the people who went into the water went to bed first, and were woken up by other guys around two o'clock in the middle of the night.

When Chen Yulin got out of the tent, he touched Xiaopang who was pointing his butt at him and refused to turn around a few times.Xiaopang stiffened his body, hung his head, and remained motionless, clearly throwing a tantrum.

Xiao Qi looked at Chen Yu tremblingly, afraid that he would nag him again before leaving.

Fortunately, time was running out, they had to go into the water before three o'clock, and Chen Yu was dragged by Feng Han to the lake.The nine people changed into diving suits, brought emergency gas cylinders and some necessary tools, and came to the east of the lake.Under the water full of whirlpools, communication cables and telephones are useless, and several people must pay attention to keeping a distance of no more than one meter from the people in front and behind.

Ling Yun started the countdown, and when it reached zero, Feng Han made a gesture, and several of them got into the water together.

At the moment of entering the water, out of the corner of Chen Yu's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow quickly disappearing.In the mountains far away, there seemed to be a dog barking.
