Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Fatty, Guchai, I, and I never thought that the interior of the cave was the same vertically and horizontally, like an ant nest. Apart from the corpses, there were countless living mackerel fish hidden in it. At this time, something unexpected happened, but we still knew that it was difficult to touch. Feng Liang hurriedly hugged the dead baby and swam into a tomb behind him where the bones of the sharks were hidden.

I turned off the diving flashlight, held the "Water Dividing Sword" to guard the entrance of the cave, and blocked the cave with the remains of the shark in the tomb. Fatty and Guchai held the deep coral cave with their sharp blades, feeling the water flowing outside. There seemed to be countless mackerels swimming on the coral trees, and I couldn't help but secretly feel scared. If I had entered the cave even half a step too late, I might have been bitten to pieces by these evil spirits on the bottom of the sea.

After the Qin and Han Dynasties, "mermaids" on the sea were almost extinct. It was often dozens or hundreds of years before sailors occasionally saw them in the sea. It is said that this is because all "mermaid" fish are female and do not reproduce by laying eggs. Half eggs and half fetuses, scientists cannot explain how they have reproduced to this day. There are only various legends passed down by fishermen and egg people, describing the sharks as being sexually promiscuous and able to go ashore to have sex with people. These are not credible.

In ancient times, "Shark" was also a name for "Shark", but this was probably a misunderstanding. "Shark" looks ugly and ferocious, with forelimbs similar to human hands. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, some people have caught live sharks to make lamp oil. , Westerners think it is a type of "mermaid". In fact, "mermaids" are mostly found in the East China Sea, and there are very few in the South China Sea, but they cannot be absolutely absent. It is a four-legged fish that looks like a human, has an extremely long lifespan, and has a unique temperament. It is agile and can walk on the waves on the sea. Eating its meat can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life. It is much more precious than the "mermaid" which is only used to make lamps and fuel. Although mermaids are rare and rare, in modern times they are more valuable than "mermaids". They are common. Although no one has caught them alive, they have been witnessed many times. In the past thousands of years, the genus Shark Scale has almost become extinct. However, unexpectedly, there are so many "s sharks" in this isolated coral cave. people".

I covered the head of my diving flashlight and quietly illuminated the criss-crossing nests of "mermaids" deep in the coral cave. Only the skinny sharks could shuttle back and forth in the narrow place, which was not allowed for divers to pass. There was no way to go inside. If you go in rashly, you won't get stuck in a dilemma.

The fat man thought he was very experienced, so he made a gesture and told us that it would be better to use diving explosives to detonate them, killing a group of sharks, and then use the chaos to fight his way back to the surface. Guchai was grabbed by the sharks on the arm and left behind. There were five blood marks, and he was feeling an unknown evil fire in his heart. When he saw this, he rushed out with a knife to catch a live shark, and stabbed it with a white knife in and a red knife out.

I slapped Guchai on the head and told him not to go out and die with his brute strength. Even if you, a "long household", are covered in iron, how many nails can you crush? Then I took the explosive from the fat man's hand, and a bold plan gradually emerged in my mind. Just as I was about to take action, the shark corpse that was suddenly blocking the entrance of the cave was suddenly pulled out by a huge force, followed closely by a black and carious man. Sametou poked his head in.

I cursed inwardly as quickly as I could, and held out the "Water Dividing Sword" in my hand. The tip of the sword came out of the shark's mouth. Blood immediately filled the coral cave. The beam of the diving flashlight was blocked, and I couldn't see anything. , had no choice but to draw out his dagger, aim at the entrance of the hole and stab it randomly. I don’t know if they all stabbed a "squid" or something else.

In the turbid water flow, there are dots of cold light. It turns out that "squid" live in dark and cold water all year round. Just like those deep-sea fish, in order to adapt to the harsh living environment, they either become extremely developed in touch or have protruding eyes. Evolution, the "Scamles" belong to the latter. Their eyes are all protruding from the sockets, and they are like two natural light-emitting devices in the water. The ferocious light flashes in front of the hole, and several more "Scamles" are blocking it. Coral Cave.

The three of us each held the sharp weapons that the Dan people used to slay dragons and clams underwater in ancient times, and relied on the narrow terrain to stab the "squid" that came in one by one. However, oxygen and manpower have limits, and it will be difficult to support it after a long time. Moreover, there are too many "suckers" around the coral tree fossils. They are not like "sharks" who usually compete for food and snatch the corpses of their own kind. They only like human flesh and blood. They have gathered in the cave in layers, and they are surrounded by water. .

The fat man picked up the explosive I dropped and wanted to detonate it. When I saw his actions, I couldn't help but despair. Now the sky is not responding to the calls, and the earth is not working. I really didn't expect that the boat would capsize in this gutter, but at this time I would rather It would be better to kill them all with explosives and carry a few "mackerel" on their backs than to be dragged out and quartered alive by them.

Just when the fat man held the dynamite ingot, a mackerel suddenly jumped past me and pounced on Guchai. One man and one shark were entangled together, and hit the fat man, knocking the dynamite out of his hand. , "Dragon House" Guchai is extremely fierce in the water, just like most bloodthirsty and vicious aquarium tribes. The more blood he sees, the stronger the viciousness in his bones becomes. He resists it with the "Dragon Arc" in his hand. At the shark's mouth, the evil shark was biting wildly, biting on the blade, and its mandible was cut into several pieces, but it still did not flinch, but it pounced even harder.

I was using the "Water Dividing Sword" to block the "squid" coming in from the hole. When I saw Guchai being grabbed by the injured shark in its mouth and struggling to escape, I hurriedly stretched out my mouth to pick the shark's bloodshot eyeballs, and followed Pulling outward, he pulled out the whole shark eyeball protruding from the eye socket, including the muscles and flesh.

The "squid" couldn't bear the food anymore and jumped out in a hurry. However, under the great pain, it scratched the diving bag that Guchai was carrying. With its sharp fingertips and claws, it pulled and scratched the seal. The bag was torn open, and the body of the stillborn fetus inside was about to come out. Although the blood and water around it were turbid, the face of the stillborn fetus twitched in the water, as if it suddenly came to life.

The large group of "mackerels" surrounding the entrance of the cave seemed to have encountered some kind of plague, and they hurriedly fled away. They immediately dispersed. I quickly grabbed the deformed fetus and looked at each other with Fatty and Guchai at the bottom of the water. Wearing frog goggles, they still couldn't hide the different expressions on everyone's face. The "squid" was so ferocious that even the largest and most ferocious "Kilosaurus whale" in the deep sea would be chewed into bones by these evil ghosts. How could it happen? Turn around and run away when you see these fetuses?

My heart couldn't stop beating wildly for a while. I lowered my head and looked at the fetal body in my hand. Under the light and shadow of the water, it seemed to be as alive as life. Perhaps the fetus was deformed due to the lunar eclipse, and it had a kind of moon-broken fetus. Qi, the genus of shark-scaled mermaids, all covet the essence of the bright moon. When they see these stillborn fetuses that are induced by the moon's eroding sky, they are like snakes and scorpions, and they are afraid to run away.

The underwater situation was complicated, and I couldn’t think too much about it. Anyway, it seems now that these three stillborn corpses are the most effective “talismans” against underwater evil spirits. We can take this opportunity to dive into the water and look for that statue. The so-called "Zhentian Cauldron", so Fatty and I also took out the fetus from the bag. The three of us hugged it each and groped out of the coral cave.

As the "mackerels" fled, the endless "ghost octopuses" in the water began to swim out in groups again. This group of dark underwater elves emitted waves of light along with the water flow, surrounding them. The coral tree is as brightly illuminated as a crystal dragon palace. The "ghost octopus" never floats to the surface of the water. It does not have the moon-responsiveness of ordinary aquatic animals. It is not afraid of the deformed stillborn fetus we are holding. It only rolls and dances back and forth around it.

This time we no longer dared to rely on our strength and dived straight into the bottom of the water. At a depth of nearly ten stories and more than 30 meters, we saw a huge cauldron trapped in coral fossils. The diameter of this cauldron was larger than Even the sacred tree on the seabed did not show any restraint. There was a fossil of an entire coral iron tree growing in it.

We approached the belly of the cauldron and found that the giant cauldron was a naturally occurring stone basin-shaped giant rock with several man-made copper cauldrons inside. It was surrounded by dozens of giant chains as thick as old trees, which were not deep enough to slip into the whirlpool that was difficult to reach. , I wonder if there was any huge thing locked up before. I made a turning gesture to the fat man and told him that this natural giant cauldron did not resemble any cauldron. It was clearly like a huge stone turntable, and there were copper grooves and cauldrons inside. We have never seen or heard of these things in our lives. They don’t look like mechanisms at all, but more like giant bonsai placed on the seabed.

I walked half a circle around the giant cauldron, but didn't see any "Zhen Gua" mark, and I didn't know where to put the three-month-old monstrous body. At this time, Guchai, who was following me, stretched out his hand. He pulled my leg and pointed to the depths of the water for me and Fatty to watch. Through the light waves dancing in the "ghost octopus", we could see a huge gap in the coral fossils at the bottom of the water.

This gap is wide and deep, like a deep stream. The water inside is dark and not a single "ghost octopus" has entered it. Occasionally, some strange fish swim in with their heads and tails swaying, but they all have nowhere to go. , after watching for a long time, no living thing was seen coming out of the deep stream. The water there was full of whirlpools, and strong suctions could be felt in the distance. There was a large stone slab beside the deep stream, which could only be seen from The appearance may be the remains of an ancient stele, but what is engraved on it cannot be seen for a long time.

I looked at the abyss under the coral fossil rock formation and asked Guchai if he knew where it was? Guchai made gestures for a long time and the fat man and I didn't understand it, but the water there was too deep, and people would be swept away by the turbulent currents as soon as they passed by. I thought that there was probably a dragon skeleton in that place, and it was dangerous and unpredictable, not to mention there was no such thing. Heavy diving equipment makes it difficult to penetrate deep into it to find out what is going on. The first task now is to find out the truth about the ancient tripod around us and see if it is a mechanism for ancient corpses to be buried at sea. If we can really make zombies surface, we can I took the opportunity to follow up. Now that all the supplies and equipment were used up, and my life and death depended on it, I didn't pay much attention to the situation in the deep stream, and continued to observe carefully around the giant cauldron at the bottom of the water.

There is another huge cave in the coral forest fossils on the other side of the undersea stone cauldron. Fatty and I crouched beside the cauldron and peered around for a while, but we didn’t find anything unusual. However, Guchai’s eyesight underwater was extraordinary, and he seemed to be able to Seeing something dark and crawling in the cave, even he felt that it was very dangerous and he must not approach it.

When Fatty and I saw that Guchai was frightened by what was in the cave, we expected that it must be unusual. The three of us did not dare to move without permission, so we hurriedly turned over and swam into the cauldron. This place was beyond the reach of the "ghost octopus" light wave, so we had to use I used a diving flashlight to illuminate it. Among the several bronze tripods around me, there were all winches with copper trough chains. It seemed to be some kind of mechanism, but I didn't know how to use it to activate it.

The fat man shook the stillborn fetus in his hand and asked me where should I put this useless baby? I looked around, thinking that these fetuses as big as the moon were damaged and damaged were probably just to disperse the swarms of evil sharks under the water, and were not meant to be placed in this giant cauldron, because there was nowhere to put them. It was so light that it floated up as soon as I let go. The Hentian family was familiar with the habits of the aquatic tribe. It must be that the ancestors of the Dan people knew the weakness of the "squid". Otherwise, with the dangers of this underwater area, who would be able to get down and move this big cauldron? It seems that how did we get these three stillborn bodies down, and how do we have to carry them back.

When I ignored it, Guchai used his goldfish eyes to spot something under the coral iron tree in the tripod. He gestured to us and swam over first. Fatty and I were worried that he had made a mistake and wanted to call him back to join us. We couldn't move, and we couldn't open our mouths. We wanted to reach out and grab him, but the guy was as slippery as a loach and had already swam ahead. We had no choice but to grab the copper chain in the tripod and swim closely to the coral tree.

There is a black rotten wood coffin locked under the iron tree. Although the wood is good, it has become brittle due to corrosion under the water. It falls off piece by piece when I touch it with my hand. I am getting more and more confused. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, stone coffins were mostly used. Bronze coffins and wooden coffins are very rare, but the wood is as thick as a coffin, so it is difficult to say whether it is a wooden coffin.

But the wooden box, as black as rotten charcoal, was just the right size to hold the body of an adult, and the long and rectangular one looked very much like a coffin. Before I could take a closer look, the fat man had already pulled open the mud-like wood, and there was something inside. There was a green corpse all over the body. The three of them were shocked when they saw that the corpse's energy was forced by the water waves, and turned out to be as green as life. How could there be such a thing under the water?

There was a layer of dim and weak green fluorescent light inside the black wooden coffin. I hurriedly shined the beam of my diving flashlight over it, and saw a bronze figure covered in green corrosion among the rotten wood. The shape of the bronze figure seemed to be The "clothed corpse figurines" that were common in ancient times meant that the tomb owner did not have the bones to be buried for some reason. They were often made into human figures with gold, jade or bronze, wore the tomb owner's royal robes, and were placed in the coffin as clothed corpse figurines to replace the deceased. .

I calmed down, pushed away the rotten wood on the bronze figure's face, and completely dismantled the ancient wooden boards. Then I took a closer look, and I was even more confused. It seemed that this bronze figure was not a "terracotta warrior in clothing", because the "terracotta warrior in clothing" It cannot be regarded as a "bright object" buried with it at all. Its status is almost equivalent to that of the owner of the tomb. It has always been very noble, with a strict appearance and an extraordinary appearance. It has always been rare, and almost none can be seen now.
