Chapter 23 [Shocking Change - Sinking]
The scroll was slowly pulled apart by me, and the dark font on the bright yellow paper was so dazzling. www.
"Jiangling Wangshan, the tomb of King Chu, unearthed: King Goujian Sword of King Yue. 1965.
Tomb No. 1, Jiangling Mashan, unearthed: King Fuchai Spear of King Wu. 1983.
Guangzhou Xianggang Mountain, tomb of Zhao Mei, King of Nanyue, was unearthed: Golden Wire Jade Clothes. 1983.

…”
Oh my God! This is the so-called general map of the tombs in the world? No wonder he is familiar with the tombs in the world, no wonder that the gatehouse looks like **, no wonder he has a "advanced" coffin. It turns out... he is actually a "future" person! Judging from his familiarity with tombs, it is either archaeological or striking, and there is no third possibility.
For a moment, I was confused and didn't know how to describe this matter. It was not until many years later that I realized that this phenomenon was called "time travel".
In this way, everything makes sense. In the original world of "Earth Immortal", those people with raised eyes and wind-catching ears are afraid that they are not referring to telescopes or phones? That huge, four-legged giant horse should be a car! Oh my God, with such big wings, it is probably an airplane.
My mind was suddenly filled with chaos. Judging from this general picture, this person should have disappeared in the current world in 1983, appeared in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, became a generation of "earth immortals", and supported the Dangxiang clan and saved the Dangxiang clan's genocide's disaster.
According to the records in the relief, without him, the Dangxiang clan would have suffered a disaster of extermination and would have become slaves to others. Because of this, the Dangxiang clan regarded him as his benefactor. However..., in the original and normal time and space, the Dangxiang clan survived well and established his strong Western Xia Kingdom in later generations. Or in other words, he was originally in history, and he was destined to go to that time and space...
After all, we first had the normal history of the present, so that he was born; or because of him, we now had the history of the present, so that he was born. Oh my God, these are all messy things.
Just as I was addicted to the question of having a chicken or an egg first, Zeng Wenwen's cold voice came into my ears: "Mr. Zhang, what are you holding in your hand?"
It's over! I just lost my mind and forgot to put the scroll back, or I shouldn't have touched this scroll at all. Now that I can't explain it clearly, how could she believe that this scroll with simplified Chinese characters written in years like 1983, 1972 will be left by a Tang Dynasty person.
This scroll may be of some significance to those who verify the time and space shuttle, but for them, a tomb robber, it is completely a piece of waste paper. Anyone who sits in the library for a day can get much more detailed information than this.
I'm making you look dirty, don't you know how curiosity can kill the cat? I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and I couldn't do anything to throw the scroll over.
Zeng Wenwen took the scroll I threw away with one hand, and her other hand kept huddling in her sleeve. She spread the scroll with one hand and glanced with expectation.
"Zhang Tao, do you think I'm a fool?" Her face suddenly turned ashen. She threw the scroll hard to the ground, stretched out her right hand that was shrouded in her sleeve, and a small silver-light thunder appeared in it, pointing the black muzzle at me.
"It's not you, it's me!" I was left with a wry smile. What else could I say? This kind of impossible thing happened to me. I was really speechless when I wanted to argue.
Following Zeng Wenwen, Hei King Kong and Fatty also took out guns one after another, pointing at each other, throwing rats and slapped them, and neither of them dared to move.
"Don't you listen to my explanation?" I tried my last effort.
"Either hand over the real picture, or everyone dies together!" Zeng Wenwen said frantically, with no room for compromise in her expression, and there was no interest in listening to my explanation.
Real pictures? The real picture has been thrown to the ground by you. Where can I find you another copy? I didn’t say this, because no one believed it!
I sighed, raised my head and winked at Hellen, meaning to make her pay attention to my actions. The fat man didn't need to explain it. After working together for so many years, it would be a bit ugly. As soon as I stuck out my butt, he knew what I was going to shit.
"Let's go down!" I stretched out my feet and kicked it lightly in a secret little place at the lotus platform at the foot. At the same time, I shouted and lay on the ground first.
The Lotus Falling Mechanism is quite precise, and the part I kicked is one of the support points of the entire mechanism. If you kick this, the mechanism will inevitably start. Whether the sky collapses or the earth cracks depends on our luck!
"Boom" a loud muffled sound underground, and then a swaying mountain, countless dust and even stones collapsed from the roof.
Hellen and the fat man both understood what I meant. As soon as I said that, they immediately lay on the ground and avoided the first disaster. Lie on the ground, they could more clearly feel the terrifying changes caused by the mechanism. First, there was the muffled sound of gunpowder explosion, then the sound of something collapsing, followed by the huge sound of water flowing, the sound of erosion, and the continuous sound of breaking...
Through these sounds, I have figured out the general structure of this mechanism. The continent supporting the entire cemetery has actually been hollowed out, supported by several pillars and something similar to a water valve. Once the mechanism is activated, it will destroy the main support point and the valve for water blocking. So a large amount of water rushed down and poured into the foundation of the mainland. According to this erosion method, in a short time, the foundation will be destroyed, and the entire continent will sink into the water. At that time, it will be called every day and the earth will not work.
Thinking of this, I pulled Hellen and greeted the fat man at the same time. The three of them quickly ran out of the cemetery. We had to board the raft before the continent sank, and even drove a distance, otherwise the water flow and whirlpools aroused when the buildings above sank would be enough to bury us here forever.
As the smoke was sweeping around, we took the opportunity to rush out of the room and ran straight to the hall where the cloth figurines were clothed. As the smoke filled, I picked up the scroll that was abandoned by Zeng Wenwen. At the same time, I vaguely saw that the Black King seemed to be pressed on my legs by something and could not move. Zeng Wenwen was desperately trying to help him get out. For a moment, she didn't seem to notice that the three of us living people passed by.
When life and death are at stake, she can even delay the escape time to save people? It seems that this person is not worthless. Of course, it’s just a casual talk. Everyone is an enemy but not a friend, so let me go back and help her save people? Don’t even think about it!
We carried the Star Stone on our body, so we would not be affected by those human figurines. We quickly passed through the human figurine hall, ran out of the cemetery, and came to the shore.
Without stopping, the raft was pushed into the water, and the three of us jumped up one after another. We set up a spare bamboo pole and pushed it into the water. The raft slowly floated off the shore.
I don’t know if it was caused by the huge water flow changes caused by the mechanism or the time for fish to come out. In short, the strange fish that flooded when we got ashore disappeared at this time and could not see any of them.
I stood on the raft desperately, against the current, against the huge suction force brought by the sinking of the continent, and moved forward smoothly. Suddenly, with a "bang", something seemed to be buckled on our raft. I turned my head and saw a flying tiger claw made of fine steel being tightly buckled on the raft, and on the other end, holding it in the hand of a disheveled figure on the shore.
Zeng Wenwen? He was sitting next to her. Judging from his appearance, his legs were probably broken. Unexpectedly, Zeng Wenwen's delicate appearance could actually support such a big man and run so far. It's really amazing!
Now is not the time to sigh. Just as I was observing them, the opposite side was also observing us. I saw Black King Kong suddenly let go of his hand on the flying tiger claw, took out his pistol, and shot at us from afar.
The distance between us was quite far, about a hundred meters, and with the darkness in the hole, his gun did not threaten at all.
After firing a few shots, he obviously noticed the problem. He put down his gun sadly, continued to put his hand on the wire rope of the flying tiger claws, and worked with Zeng Wenwen to try to drag our raft.
The bamboo pole could not bear the huge force and was gradually bent, and the raft slowly moved towards the direction of the shore.
While I was holding the bamboo pole tightly, I didn't dare to let go, for fear that once I let go, it would be a good flow for them again. But in a moment, my sweat would be gone for half a day. At the same time, I glanced at the fat man and said without a trace: "Fat man, you decide for yourself!"
Then I stopped looking at him, focused on supporting my bamboo pole, constantly changing the focus points, so as not to lose our last bamboo pole if I accidentally did.
With a loud "bang", the flying tiger claws were still hanging on the raft, but the wire rope behind it disappeared without a trace. The hand suddenly lightened, and the raft rushed forward briskly.
Soon, the two people on the shore slowly turned into two tiny black dots in our eyes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The fat man's shot broke not only a steel wire that grabbed our hind legs in escape, but more importantly, the last trace of concern and desire in his heart, all love, hate, and love, will be eliminated with one shot. All love and hate will slowly sink into the water with that land and will never appear in front of us again.
Based on my memory, our group of three came out of the waterway without any danger.
When we reappeared at the entrance of the waterway and faced with the bright sunshine, I couldn't help but feel like a different life. When we set off, there were seven of us, and we were still harmonious with each other; when we returned, there were only three people left, and one of the others died directly at my hands, and two indirectly at our hands.
Thinking of this, our hearts are full of heavy weight. We just want to leave far away and never want to stay in this place for a moment. Never before, when we live so depressed, we not only have no clue at all, but we have also carried several lives on our backs. In essence, we are desperate people, but what we lose is our own life, we just bet on our own life and seek a life that will never stop fresh and exciting.
But when we are truly infected with blood in our hands, the nature is very different. This is actually a bottom line. If we break through him, we will become careless in doing things. When necessary, like Zeng Wenwen, we can draw guns to innocent people without hesitation. Only with such an awareness can we be afraid that one day we will become that kind of person.
