Chapter 9 The Big Wine Pool
We entered the tomb along the tomb passage. The flashlight was getting darker and darker and it looked like it was about to run out of power. He checked in his backpack and told us that all the batteries were used up. In this case, we would have to search in the dark.
Under the weak flashlight light, we found that there seemed to be a pool in the tomb in front of us. Due to the weak light, we could only see a distance of two or three meters in front of us. Suddenly the flashlight flashed and the light went out, and suddenly everything in front of us was dark. I was already very irritable.
, coupled with the sudden loss of sight, panic surged into my heart. I shouted in a low voice, "**You're there? How can we move forward in such darkness? There seems to be a pool in front of us. Please be careful." Dunzi suddenly thought of the things in his backpack.
There are also three high-gloss flash balls. These flash balls can emit intense light in an instant but can only last for a few seconds. Dunzi pulled out the lead, and the light from the flash balls illuminated the entire tomb. The scene in front of him shocked everyone present.
, a stone pillar was erected in the center of a pool the size of a swimming pool, and a large stone slab was propped up on the top of the stone pillar. On the stone slab was a stone coffin. Next to the coffin was piled with unknown rare treasures, which emitted a strange light. There were
It was more than ten meters high. Dunzi pointed into the distance and shouted, "Look there is a lampstand over there." The tomb was surrounded by various stone sculptures. Before I could see clearly, the flash ball went out, and the tomb was dark again.
, **Let us stay where we are, while he goes to light the lampstand. Dunzi and Huzi don’t know where they are. In the darkness, we can only hear the breathing of a few of us. The breathing is very close. I asked quietly
"Dunzi, are you around?" Dunzi responded, "Yes, where are you, Huzi?" Huzi responded, "Brother Dunzi, I'm fine, I went to light the lampstand."
Suddenly there was a splashing sound from the direction of the pool. He must have fallen into the pool. Dunzi shouted, "**Are you okay?" There was a sound of "**" in the distance. "Don't talk. There seems to be something in the water."
"How could there be any living creatures in this ancient tomb where there is absolutely no possibility of living things? It couldn't be caused by some ghost, right? Just when I was wondering, there seemed to be movement in the water. The tense atmosphere, coupled with the sight before me,
I couldn't see anything, and I felt more and more panicked. Dunzi may have sensed something was wrong in the water, so he pulled out the lead of the second flash ball. The tomb was lit up again, and no other abnormalities were found except for a few ripples on the water surface.
**He ran toward the lampstand using the light. After the flash ball went out, the tomb became pitch black again.
The faint light of the match in the distance was the candlelight lit by the sun. Because the tomb was large and the oil in the lampstand was old, the light from the lampstand was quite weak, but it was better than nothing. We used the weak light to get closer to the pool.
Next to it, the coffin is at least seven or eight meters away from the edge of the pool. It seems that the only way to get over is to swim through the water. Huzi said, "I think the water is evil, and I won't go in even if I kill myself." Actually, I thought the same way.
So I said, "There must have been something swimming in the water in the darkness just now. It's best not to act rashly without knowing the situation." **Looking at the coffin high up, thinking about how to get up. Suddenly I noticed the smell of alcohol here.
It's very big. There aren't any ghosts or ghosts here. Apart from the pool, there are no wine jars or containers. Could it be that the pool is full of wine? ** seems to have noticed this problem and touched it with his hands.
He smelled the water in the pool and said, "This pool is full of wine. Where did you get so much wine?" Dunzi said, "Ah! Do we have to jump into the wine pool to swim? This is unprecedented," Huzi said happily.
It’s getting rich now. There are so many old and good wines. If we take them out and open a winery to sell wine, we will definitely make a fortune.” I always feel that something is wrong but I can’t tell what is wrong, and neither does this wine pool.
I know how deep it is. The water is also turbid and I can't see the bottom of the pool.
** suggested that since we can't go down below, we should climb up the beams on the top of the tomb along the pillars next to the tomb. With the beams upright, we would climb to the top of the coffin and jump into the big stone slab in the center of the pool. I looked up at the structure at the top of the tomb.
There are two cross-shaped beams on the top of the tomb. The distance between the beam and the top of the tomb is half a meter, which can accommodate a person climbing down and passing through. The beams are lifted up by the pillars around the tomb. It seems that what ** said can still work.
Apart from this method, everyone has no other option at the moment. We can only climb the stone pillars in the tomb as ** said. The stone pillars are not as smooth as expected, and climbing is not that strenuous. We climbed up quickly.
**In front of me, Dunzi and Huzi were behind me. We were riding horses, riding on the stone beam, moving forward slowly. We lay on the beam and looked down at the chaotic wine pool. The surface was quite calm, but I
I kept feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at us above in the wine pool below. I continued to crawl forward and accidentally glanced down again. My heart was about to jump out of my mouth.
There was a black shadow. Could it be that there really was a ghost? I shouted anxiously, "There is a ghost under the water!" Huzi was startled, and he failed to grasp it properly with one hand, and actually slipped down. Dunzi had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Huzi's arm.
, Huzi was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly. "Brother Dundun, Dunzi, you must... hold your brother back." I quickly turned around and helped Dunzi, Huzi was really heavy.
Ah, it took a lot of effort to finally pull this guy up. Dunzi complained, "Qiangzi, what are you talking about? Don't talk about Huzi. I almost fell off because of you just now. Huzi looked down.
, tell me where the ghost is?" I looked at the place where the black shadow appeared just now, and there seemed to be nothing but a few ripples on the water. I was really getting nervous, and I really couldn't say anything.
But there are many signs that there is indeed something under the water. Forget it, I still don’t think about it. The more I think about people, the more scared I am. The female ghost I saw in the tomb in front almost scared me half to death. What kind of drowning person is really going to appear in the water?
Damn, my little heart is really afraid that it won’t be able to bear it.
Listening to the pounding sound of my heart, I suppressed my fear and finally climbed to the top of the coffin. The stone slab on which the coffin was placed was only about two meters high from the beam. I jumped down first, and after observing the surroundings, I found that there was no danger.
He called us down and we jumped on the stone slab one after another. There was a stone coffin in the center of the slab. Four crane heads were carved on the four corners of the coffin. The crane heads faced the four directions. The lid of the coffin was carved with some birds and monsters.
Each one has a weird shape, and you can't tell what kind of animal it is. Even Dunzi can't understand the characters carved around the coffin. There are many naturally formed pearls and jade around the sarcophagus. Huzi squats on the ground and throws out everything in the bag.
Greedily stuffing these pearls and jade into the bag, Dunzi also said happily, "This trip is not in vain. This trip is enough for us to eat for most of our lives." When everyone was congratulating on the rich harvest, there was a sudden splash on the water surface.
