The scene in front of them appeared almost at the same time as Lao Li's words. Everyone reacted at once and tried their best to swim back. However, it seemed that it was too late.
The row of wolf tooth stone pillars standing in the water, just like Xiangyu said, there are some huge round stone holes, and the huge hole on the stone pillar directly in front of us has a colorful vortex
, is rippling from the inside out, just like a rose inserted inside, blooming layer by layer under the influence of the wind.
While the rose vortex is in full bloom, it is also sucking us into the stone pillar with a huge force.
"Brother Zhou, hold on to the leash and I'll pull you back."
Lao Li's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and I realized that the force behind me that kept pulling me came from Lao Li. He made no secret of his preference for me, and just told the public on the walkie-talkie that he would only save people.
I'm alone.
At this time, the teammates were clearly at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Rose Vortex. When Lao Li said this, the first person to react was Andrew.
Almost as soon as Lao Li finished speaking and there was still a lingering sound on the intercom, the foreigner swam towards me with all his strength, and then saved one of my legs.
Andrew, who had been stabbed a thousand times, actually repeated his old tricks. Now I am absolutely certain that it was this old man who pulled my leg and almost drowned me in this place yesterday.
The anger in my heart suddenly stopped, and I used all my strength to kick Andrew away. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Andrew's physical strength was very good. For him, these few times I could not even scratch his itch.
Not really.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry about him. It's important to return to the safe area first." Lao Li's words came from the intercom again.
Zhang Jisheng was beside me at that time. When he saw this, he immediately grabbed my leash.
The weight of two people was suddenly added to the weight, and Lao Li felt a little unable to hold on, because I could clearly feel that the rose vortex suddenly took over, and the three of us were pulled forward several meters in an instant.
The three of us were like a bunch of scattered grapes, competing with the whirlpool of roses in the middle. Xiangyu's situation was worse. She was a girl with relatively weak strength. In addition, she didn't have as many people behind her as we did.
With Lao Li's help, she was almost sucked into the stone cave entrance by the rose vortex.
In my desperation, I didn't have time to think about it, so I blurted out: "Old Li, don't worry about us, save Xiangyu first, she is about to be sucked in."
Lao Li must have been hesitating, so I shouted nervously: "It's important to save people, hurry up, don't hesitate." Then I couldn't wait for Lao Li to take action, so I swam forward a few meters, and then grabbed Xiangyu's traction rope with one hand.
, pull it back.
Originally, the weight of the three of us was far beyond what Lao Li could bear. Now that Xiangyu was added, Lao Li couldn't hold himself back at all. We slid forward several meters at once and were almost sucked in.
It fell into the stone hole on the huge pillar.
"Brother Zhou, ah..." Lao Li shouted loudly from the intercom. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength with this shout.
Suddenly, the attraction from the rose vortex disappeared, and under the influence of inertia, we slid ten meters in the opposite direction of the stone pillar.
Before we had time to adjust our posture, the sound of Lao Li's violent breathing came over the intercom.
"Lao Li, how are you?" I couldn't wait to swim over.
Lao Li was breathing heavily and couldn't answer anything we said.
Zhang Jisheng probably felt embarrassed and kept silent. However, Andrew, an old fox, acted like a normal person and kept asking questions. I really regret not listening to Lao Li and letting this old guy follow us into the water.
"Brother Zhou, that stone pillar is a Tao Xun." Lao Li finally spoke, but his voice was very weak.
Only then did I realize that just now he should have looped my traction rope around his hand, and then swam desperately in the opposite direction of the stone pillar, because the diving suit in his hand had been torn by the traction rope.
The skin and flesh inside were turned out, but under the water, as soon as the blood from the wound seeped out, it would immediately melt into the water, so we didn't notice it.
"Lao Li, your hand is injured." I really felt like a disaster at this time.
"It's okay, just a little skin injury. It's not a problem. Just wait until we get back to the shore and apply cephalosporin powder to disinfect it." Lao Li said nonchalantly.
"Old Li," Andrew also imitated us to call Li Zhuochen, "you just said that the stone pillar is a pottery xun, what's the matter?"
Lao Li didn't want to talk to Andrew. He faced me and said: "The two porphyries just before the vortex appeared were made by Tao Xun."
Maybe it was because he still didn't react when he saw me, Lao Li explained: "Tao Xun is an ancient closed-mouthed wind instrument in my country. It was originally used to trap prey. The sound it makes is somewhat similar to the sound of a bird. Press the sound hole. If you want to divide it, Tao Xun will be divided into one hole
, two-hole, three-hole and five-hole, these buildings that look like stone pillars in front of us are actually giant five-hole pottery xun. And the sound we just heard is, I guess, the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake passing through the pottery xun.
The sound it makes when it vibrates."
"Brother Li, what you are saying is that these stone pillars are actually pottery xuns, and for them to make sounds, they have to pass through the undercurrents at the bottom of the lake." Xiangyu said.
"Yes, you were too close just now, so you may not be able to see clearly. I am far away from Tao Xun Pillars and can see the general shape of these stone pillars, so I came to this conclusion." Lao Li said, coughing several times.
.
"What kind of power can build such a magnificent building under the waters of Laoye Temple? What is their purpose of building these pottery pillars? And why not choose to build it on the vast Poyang Lake, but on this obviously narrow lake?
Where is the Laoye Temple water area?" Zhang Jisheng finally spoke.
"Let's go and take a look. Maybe we will find some other discoveries." After Lao Li finished speaking, he swung his flippers and swam forward without waiting for us.
"What if we encounter a whirlpool again?" Xiangyu said.
"No, the water flow also has its own rules. For a while, there will be no more undercurrents. Let's go over and take a look." Andrew said.
I didn't care about the others, followed Lao Li, and swam over.
"Brother Zhou, look, the carvings on this pottery pillar seem to be star maps, but the positions of these constellations seem to be very far away. They don't even correspond to our star maps in the past thousands of years. In this regard, you
Is there any research?" Lao Li said.
"I'm ashamed. I can't even tell what kind of star map the pattern on it is, so how can I do any research on it?"
Lao Li really impressed me. This person was definitely not just a clerk in the Chen Mo family. At least, he should be in the position of a senior staff member.
At this time, Andrew, Zhang Jisheng and Xiang Yu also came over.
"This star map looks very similar to the star map carved in Göbekli Tepe, but without in-depth research, I cannot be absolutely sure. If it is really the same as the star map at Göbekli Tepe.
, then this carving depicts thirteen thousand
The position of the constellations in the sky thousands of years ago." Andrew said, and sighed: "This is really incredible. Göbekli Tepe is the oldest ruins discovered so far. I wonder if these pottery Xun pillars under the waters of Laoye Temple can be broken.
This history.”
"The knowledge point of the star map is too deep. Let's wait until we get out of the water to study it slowly. These pottery pillars feel like a circle. If we swim around these stone pillars, we can also roughly understand this.
What exactly is the shape of the building?" I said.
"That's exactly what I meant." Zhang Jisheng continued what I said.
So, we swam around the pottery pillars in a clockwise direction. After circling for a week, we were probably able to determine that this was a regular octagonal building, surrounded by giant pottery pillars.
I know what it is. There is a star map carved on each pottery Xun pillar, but the position of the constellations is completely different from the positions of the constellations of all eras that we currently know. I don’t know what the carver’s intention was.
Suddenly, my flippers seemed to hit something heavy. Anyway, my body suddenly became unbalanced.
"Zhou Cang, there seems to be a stone figurine under your feet." Xiangyu said suddenly.
