Chapter 34 Underwater Drain

I didn't tell them about this, because for Pan Zi, Uncle San is everything. He must do what Uncle San wants him to do, without having to worry about his motivation. For Shunzi, he is completely an outsider, this is a comparison of business. He only cares about the final result, and the fat man is even simpler. He came to "climb the lama", and the things in the tomb are the key. Our Uncle San is just a synonym for trouble for him. These analytical things seem to be useful to me, and I am the only one who is confused.

Everyone else lives so simple that it made me feel a little envious for the first time.

After chatting with the rest, Pan Zi asked me if my health was OK. I felt that after sleeping, my health had improved a lot. I could only walk around without anyone to support me. But obviously, fighting was still not possible. Pan Zi said it would be better to take a rest. It is rare that this place is so quiet and seems to be very safe. I am afraid that after entering the underground palace, there will be no such opportunity again.

When I thought about it, I wanted to go into the sleeping bag and sleep again, but I couldn't sleep anymore. On the other hand, the fat man kept talking in a dialect that I couldn't understand, as if he was bargaining with others. When he was most excited, Pan Zi threw him the stone. The fat man became honest immediately, but it would start again after a while. It was very noisy. I couldn't hear this at all when I was tired, but now I was about to fall asleep, which made it very difficult.

With his eyes closed, he was forced to force for another two hours. Pan Zi picked a stone too big and woke up the fat man. No one could think of sleeping. As soon as the fat man shouted, Shunzi woke up.

After sorting out the things and eating some dry food, we walked back to the burial canal in the center of the river. The corrosive black stone figures still stood there silently, a long queue stretching into the endless darkness on both sides.

I helped me climbed down the burial canal and walked into the human figurines all at once. On top, I looked down at the human figurines, so I didn't feel very strong, but when I got down, the human figurines became as tall as me. The wrong black shadows around me made a strong sense of anxiety arise from my heart.

The fat man used a flashlight to illuminate the direction of both sides of the ditch and asked me: "Your third master asked us to follow the water, but there is no water here now, where should we go?"

I looked at Pan Zi. He participated in the special war stage when he was in the self-defense counterattack station against Vietnam, so he should have some research on this kind of thing.

Pan Zi approached a human figurine, touched the crack on it, and pointed to the direction the human figurine was facing, "Looking at the traces of the water flow on the stone, it should be downstream there."

The fat man leaned over, but couldn't see anything, and said distrustfully: "Human life is at stake, don't talk nonsense."

Pan Zi ignored him and said hello and asked us to be careful. Several people began to walk along the ditches towards the darkness of the moat.

I have no idea about the length of the moat. When I look at it with flares on the cliff, the entire imperial city is a long-term view. We probably only see the top of the building, which blocks the dense dead woods around. And when the bridge above, the light of the flashlight is not enough to shine in the darkness. So I walked straight along the burial canal for half an hour, but at the bottom of the silent moat, it still didn't end.

The burial canal is high and uneven. There are several sections. The figures inside are very severely broken, and it seems that they have stepped on something huge. The hard and unknown stones are all broken and shattered. I even found that under the ditches, the limbs of the figurines appear from time to time. It seems that there is a layer of such things buried in the soil under the burial canal.

Or you can think of this, was this ditch originally going to be buried, but for some reason, the project was stopped, so there were so many people who were not buried.

As we walked, we became darker and darker. The flashlight shone on the river wall on one side, and there was a little reflection, at least a reference object. As we walked, we couldn't even find the towering river wall on one side. It was dark and roaring east on all sides. We couldn't help but slow down. Pan Zi reminded us to be smarter and never be distracted.

At this time, the fat man who was walking in the front stopped. We were about to step forward and saw him make a gesture to let us stop.

I walked to him and looked at his flashlight. I saw that the end of the burial canal had arrived. The team of human figurines disappeared. In front of me was a huge stone river wall. It should have reached the other side of the moat. There seemed to be a huge thing carved on the river wall like Leshan Buddha. Because the flashlight could not show the whole picture at all, I didn't know what it was. I only saw a square hole covered by gravel under the root of the river wall. Now a lot of stones have been moved away, revealing a dark hole.

This is the same as the road we came in just now. This cave was also one of the passages secretly excavated by the craftsmen who built the tombs back then. This was the only passage they escaped after the underground palace was closed.

"Is it another anti-attack tunnel?" Pan Zi said in surprise: "How come the opening of the mouth is here? This is impossible."

"How could it be impossible?" asked the fat man. "It wasn't your repair."

Pan Zi said: "This place was underwater back then. Do you think those craftsmen are all fish?"

I waved my hand and told them not to make noise. At this time, Shunzi said "Hey" and said, "Come here, there is something here."

As we said that, we shone it with a flashlight. When we looked, we saw someone carved a few words on the stone on the side of the square cave.

The square cave is half a person tall, square, and very rough. The edges are covered with gravel stones about the size of watermelon, and there are also many inside. Obviously, someone has blocked the hole, and the square cave is pitch black, and I don’t know where it leads. It’s a bit like the reservoir culvert we often see in the south.

In the pile of gravel stones on the side of the square cave, there was a relatively flat piece of characters with a rough carved on it. It was engraved very hasty and shallowly. If those words were not English letters, they would have looked very dazzling in such imperial tombs, and they might not have been able to find the straight. Unfortunately, what was engraved can't be spelled out at all.

Did Uncle San carve it on us and recognize our way? I thought so at that time, but Uncle San’s foreign literature is very unreliable. How could he think of engraving foreign literature as a secret code with his brain? This is really not his style.

The fat man walked up to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed, waved to me and said, "Xiao Wu, we seem to have seen these twisted foreign scripts somewhere."

I walked over and took a look, and my heart couldn't help but jump.

It seems that we have indeed seen these symbols. This is what the fat man and I saw on the wall of the pool when we were in the underwater tomb. After seeing this symbol, the Duo Oil Bottle suddenly rushed down the stele pool, and then he remembered what happened in the underwater tomb. Why did it suddenly appear here again?

At that time, I always thought that this symbol was carved by those people when Uncle San brought Wen Jin and the others down, but suddenly it appeared here again, which was obviously wrong.

Judging from the carving traces, they were knocked randomly with a mountaineering pick, and the traces were so new, either they were left by Uncle San, or the bottle of Mujiu or Aning. Because only these people can have mountaineering picks here, the person who keeps this symbol must have entered the square cave.

At this moment, I suddenly had a thought, thinking that it would be possible, the foreign symbol in the underwater tomb was engraved by the "Oil Bottle". So after he saw this symbol, he realized: "I have been to this place."

There is really this possibility. When he appears again, I have to ask.

Pan Zi saw me in a daze and asked me what happened. When I told them about the fact that Fatty and I saw symbols at the bottom of the sea, Pan Zi also felt very novel, but he said, "I have been with the Third Master for ten years, and I have poured out fifty tombs if I have less than that, and there are a few of them. I have never seen him leave a secret code, and even the Third Master cannot recognize it. This is definitely not left by the Third Master."
