Chapter 68: The Harvest of Random Thoughts
It was almost time to say that, after the cold wind passed, the originally calm water surface in the cave suddenly tore up, and the water inside gushed out! Tang Feng didn't dare to think too much, he grabbed Liu Yue's hand, and the two of them ran away.
Besides, the coffin on Zhang Keming and others was unveiled layer by layer. As Tang Feng thought, there was nothing inside. When work was over, a routine counting of the number of people would be conducted. Tang Feng and Liu Yue suddenly disappeared, and the intercom call did not respond. Zhang Keming knew something was wrong and was busy searching separately. When he was eliminating the trap, archaeologists had already drawn sketches of the terrain of the underground palace. Finally, they found an extra stone slab in the wine cellar of the restaurant. Zhang Keming transferred an air compressor to dig the stone slab. Soon, a hole was dug through nearly half a meter thick stone slab.
"Huh? Where did the wind come from?" Because the pressure of water is much greater than the pressure of air, after the stone slab was chiseled through the hole, the air flowed rapidly under the squeeze of the water flow to form wind, and the wind was still very strong.
An archaeological staff member said: "Does there be a vent in the underground palace? We have opened it?"
"Continue to go in and chisel it all open. There must be something underneath." Zhang Keming's judgment was very accurate, but he could not have thought of the water connected to the deep pool below. The mechanized construction was very fast, and the entire stone slab was completely opened. At this time, the sound of wind in the tomb passage turned into a rumbling sound, and the ground under everyone's feet was trembling. As the trembling intensified, the entire underground palace began to shake slightly.
Boom!
Tang Feng and Liu Yue ran in front of him. The water in the tomb passage behind formed a wall of water, surging towards them. What's more, the water flowed was obviously faster than their running speed. As the water got closer, Tang Feng was almost desperate. If he was caught up by the water, there would be only a dead end. This said very long, but it was only a moment when the two people were quickly submerged by the surging water.
The entire underground palace was shaking, and archaeologists looked around in fear. Could it be that excavation caused an earthquake? Zhang Keming is an archaeological expert. Of course, he did not think that the archaeological site would collapse like "The Mysterious City of Tombs". The stone slabs were not load-bearing beams. He said in a deep voice: "It should not be an earthquake."
"It's the sound of water! Water is spraying out from below! A super archaeologist shouted!
Just as the water was about to flood them, Tang Feng hugged Liu Yue's waist, and the two rushed forward together. Then, the buoyancy of the water threw them into the air of the tomb passage. Tang Feng's eyes were fast and his feet were fast, and his feet hooked on the lamppost on the stone wall of the tomb passage.
"Woo!" The sound of water that had been roaring in his ears suddenly disappeared. Two people were completely submerged by water. Due to the limited water level in the deep pool, the water will flow back after it surges across the horizontal line. The return is the most dangerous. Once the return water is swept under the water, even the gods cannot save them.
The two people's bodies were like leaves swaying in the wind, first being washed forward by the water flowing forward, and then being dragged backward by the backflowing water. Tang Feng didn't care whether the lamppost on the stone wall was strong. He let the water flow change, his feet didn't relax the lamppost, and his hands didn't relax Liu Yue. Now, their life and death are completely related to the lamppost. If the lamppost is swept away by the water, they can't live. This is not that Tang Feng doesn't want to find more solid things, but his only choice in desperation, and he can only bet on luck.
Tang Feng had seen the design drawings before. The ancients used a stupid method to build the underwater tomb chamber under the underground palace. They first divert water to lower the water level, and only started construction when the tomb chamber is completely exposed to the water surface. After the construction is completed, the craftsmen completely sealed the passages on both sides of the tomb chamber, then diverted water back to refilling, and then dismantled the stone walls against the water. In this way, the water flow would not flow into the tomb chamber. Finally, the craftsmen escaped along the water road, and Li Jie might be the last person to leave the tomb chamber, so the design drawings would be left. After Li Jie came ashore, the deep pool began to accumulate water until the stone cave was completely in deep water.
Tang Feng saw the date on the design drawings. According to Li Jie's expectation at the time, he might come back when Song Huizong was buried. Who knew that he would be "suddenly" died within a few days. Of course, this would have to be done when the mechanism was opened. Human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. Before Song Huizong could die, the Jin soldiers fought over. At the last moment, Song Huizong had to bear the pain of giving up and closing the underground palace. This closure lasted for hundreds of years, and the secret of the underground palace really became a secret.
Tang Feng's gambling was not entirely a gambling of luck, because he had read the design drawings and knew the approximate location of the water level, where they were.
The water flow tumbling back and forth, and the two of them were sometimes on the water and sometimes under the water. After several twists and turns, the water flow finally calmed down. The exhausted Tang Feng let go of Liu Yue's hand and fell into the water.
"Cough cough!" Liu Yue, who was covering her mouth and coughing, even her voice was weak. She said to Tang Feng beside her: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Tang Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "It seems that the ancient tomb is really not a fun place. This Li Jie almost killed us."
Liu Yue, who stopped coughing, looked at Tang Feng and said, "Tang Feng, you saved me. How do you want me to thank you?"
Tang Feng said: "You are saying stupid again, right? We don't need to say such kind words. If you really want to thank you, then just do it."
Before Tang Feng could say anything bad about him, a call came from above the tomb passage - Liu Yue! Tang Feng!
"We're here." Both of them answered at the same time.
After a while, a flashing flashlight appeared, and Zhang Keming and the others searched all the way. Zhang Keming stared at the tomb passage that disappeared in the water for a while. Finally, he asked them, "What's going on?"
"Oh." Tang Feng looked at Zhang Keming with annoyance and said, "Professor Zhang, prepare the water pump."
After learning that there was a tomb room underwater, Zhang Keming immediately reported to the relevant departments at the superiors. Of course, he hid the fact that Tang Feng and Liu Yue left the team to explore privately. He had to say that this matter was also responsible. If he had not ordered the digging of the stone door that blocked the air, the water from the deep pool would not have poured into the underwater tomb room. Soon, the superior's instructions replied and restored the original appearance of the underwater tomb room at all costs. On the morning of the third day, the deep pool water diversion project was officially launched.
A man's body is not necessarily stronger than a woman. He entered the tomb tract to explore at the same time, soaked in cold water in winter and also experienced escaping from death. However, Liu Yue quickly returned to normal, while Tang Feng was gloriously ill and caught a serious cold.
For the past three days, the dizzy Tang Feng was lying on the bed in his temporary residence and could not go anywhere. Once he was idle, he could not help but think about it. Tang Feng was considering the mural of the underwater tomb.
The remaining words in the first half of the sentence are many, and the meaning is not difficult to understand. If you want to complete the words "The ancestor built the temple of the sage king gathers the ancient and modern times", you should have compiled the temple of the ancestor built the temple of the sage king gathers the great achievements of the ancient and modern times. The latter sentence should be Li Jie's polite words, which roughly means that what I have learned is just the master's fur.
Although Li Jie was the founder of engineering design, he himself also had his own ancestors. Of course, this may also be his family studies. His ancestor built a building called "Saint King Temple", which gathered the achievements of ancient and modern times. This temple is west of the snow mountain. The key question is, this snow mountain refers to the mountain that is super fast. According to modern people's understanding, the source of the Yangtze River is the Tanggula Mountains, and the source of the Yellow River is the Bayankala Mountains, both on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The ancients had limited geographical knowledge, so it was normal for them to mistakenly regard the source of two rivers as one mountain, or the snow mountain on the mural refers to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this way, the "Saint King Temple" should be the Potala Palace in Lhasa, but the Potala Palace was built in the 17th century and there was no such thing as the Song Dynasty.
"Saint King Temple" does not refer to the Potala Palace but other buildings, but other buildings, but other than that, there is no building in Tibet that can be compared with the Yangtze River and Yellow River Snow Mountains. Tang Feng vaguely felt that this "Saint King Temple" should be an ancient building that has not been discovered by modern people. Moreover, its architectural level is higher than that of this underground palace. If this is the case, there must be a lot of good things inside. Hi, Tang Feng himself is scolding himself, but why do he think wrongly?
After a while, Tang Feng had a new idea. The most famous snow-capped mountain on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is of course the Himalayas. If the snow mountain on the mural is Mount Everest, then the "Saint King Temple" should be in Nepal. Tang Feng patted his head. It would be great in Nepal. If this "Saint King Temple" is also an underground building, then you can go to Nepal to find treasures. Tang Feng was purely thinking about random thoughts, and his purpose was just to break the taboo of entering the tomb and returning empty-handed. In fact, he not only returned empty-handed, but also lost something. The backpack that had been with him for a long time fell into the tomb. Of course, if the mural was a treasure map, this problem would no longer be a problem. Tang Feng was still thinking about random thoughts. Liu Yue walked in from outside and said to Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, is it better?"
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "It's much better."
Liu Yue took out a big apple and said to him: "Tang Feng, I'm sorry, this place is too remote and I haven't bought anything. I'll give you apples."
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Don't bother, I'm not going to have surgery to confinement."
Liu Yue took out a knife and sat beside Tang Feng's bed and peeled an apple for him. Both sides had actually broken the taboos. Tang Feng was also brave. He said to Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, is what we said in the water that day still counting?"
Seeing Tang Feng say this directly, Liu Yue was stunned for a moment. She looked at Tang Feng and nodded and said, "Do you think it counts?"
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Of course I think it's arithmetic."
Liu Yue said, "Isn't that all?"
"But" Tang Feng still didn't come out after a long time.
"What else is there to do?" Liu Yue put down the apple in her hand and leaned over and put her forehead on Tang Feng's forehead. She said softly: "Tang Feng, don't say anything, and things will happen in the future. Don't think about anything. Just enjoy this process wholeheartedly." Liu Yue is an urban girl in the new era, and she is more relaxed than Tang Feng. After she finished speaking, her lips moved down and kissed Tang Feng's mouth like a dragonfly.
If our life is a movie or a series of dramas, then at such a moment, a tune as light as the theme song of "Tokyo Love Story" will suddenly appear from the outside of the picture, that is Kazumasa Oda's "Sudden Love".
Afterwards, Liu Yue showed a playful and cute smile like Chi Ming Lixiang. She smiled and said to Tang Feng, "Tang Feng, you are so stupid." Perhaps, Tang Feng is really a stupid child, and his reaction is always slower than others. Looking at Liu Yue's beautiful face and graceful figure, he felt that the scene in front of him was so unreal. When everything was clear, he realized that all his previous worries had disappeared.
Liu Yue picked up the apple again and said to Tang Feng, "Tang Feng, you have to get better quickly, do you understand?"
Tang Feng nodded and said, "I can."
Liu Yue cut an apple and put it gently into Tang Feng's mouth. She said, "I rarely take care of the patients."
Tang Feng said while eating apples: "I am rarely treated as a patient."
Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "What are your plans?"
Tang Feng thought for a while and said, "I plan to go back to Beijing, there is no need to stay here." The entire underground palace has been completely opened, and Tang Feng has also experienced the adventure he wants to experience and can come to an end. Although he finally got nothing, he did not regret it. At least, he knew that the mural existed. After being soaked in water, the mural would disappear from now on. Tang Feng was the only person who knew this secret. If it was really a treasure map.
Liu Yue nodded and said, "It's all right now. When will you leave, I'll give you it."
Tang Feng said: "Don't you go together?"
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Why, do you dare to take me home? I want to complete a paper and can't leave for the time being. I will still go back to Beijing in a few days, and there will be a lot of time in the future."
"Liu Yue." Tang Feng said seriously: "I think I'm a little sorry for you." Tang Feng can't even give Liu Yue a promise now.
Liu Yue smiled. Even if Tang Feng could make a promise to her, she could not make a promise to Tang Feng. There is a price to pay for the wealthy family. The talk of marriage and marriage is more important than the relationship. A marriage is often a strategic cooperation, which will bring hundreds of millions of benefits. Liu Yue does not represent herself, but a family, and these things are not something she or her parents can control. Moreover, that person seems to be pretty good, at least in most eyes, he is worthy of Liu Yue. Of course, Liu Yue has no feelings for him, otherwise Tang Feng would not appear. Liu Yue put aside these distractions and said to Tang Feng: "Don't worry, Tang Feng, I won't make you embarrassed."
