Chapter 021 Air Raft

Long Wu talks little, so Fatty's jokes were naturally rejected within two sentences.

Before entering the underground river, I carefully examined the shore and surrounding rock formations.

Knocking off a few protruding rocks, we found that there were many shell fossils in the rock formations. Based on the gray-white color and the contents, it was not difficult to analyze that we were in a limestone formation in a mountain somewhere!

I said to myself: Although I dare not claim to be knowledgeable about the past and the present, over the years of running antiques, I have seen a lot of things that should be seen, and a lot of things that should not be seen! This is a rare fossilized shell, the only one found in the Netherlands. I immediately determined that millions of years ago, there was a vast ocean here!

The vicissitudes of life and endless reincarnations, could this be the meaning of Dragon Palace?

Suddenly, for a moment, I felt a certain sense of pleasure from those archaeologists. That is the unprepared transition between the known and the unknown!

Maybe this sentence is a bit difficult to understand. To put it simply: I thought that discovering the shell limestone that I knew something about was an achievement and a surprise. This represents the known.

But did the ancients understand modern knowledge about limestone? In the Qin Dynasty, there was no geological weekly that I often read, right? When they were building the imperial mausoleum, did they know that this was once the Dragon Palace? And is it for this reason that this place is so valued by King Jing of the ancient Longquan Kingdom? So is the legend of Longquan’s longevity true? This is the unknown.

When the unknown appears, the known becomes meaningless. This is the transition between the known and the unknown! It is so ecstatic, yet so disappointing, yet so unprepared!

Say what you should not say, that is, laugh at yourself. I am a small antique dealer, at best a moderately successful self-employed person. Talking loudly is really not suitable for me. On the contrary, this ancient tomb adventure makes me feel that I am truly and completely frozen in time in the past. touch!

When his thoughts were flying to outer space, Fatty had already gone down to test the water.

But as soon as he went down, he rushed up.

He kept yelling: "It's so damn cool! What a fucking idiot!"

The fat man told us that he had just put his hands in the water to see if it was so cold, but when he got into the water, especially his calves, it felt as if they had been stuffed into a pile of ice, and they were cold to the bones.

The situation that Fatty mentioned does exist. If there is a spring in the underground river, such a situation will occur.

I squatted on the shore and reached out to touch the water. It was indeed very cold. Just when I was about to lean out and touch deeper, the searchlight above my head flashed suddenly, and a black shadow floated past, and a shadow seemed to swim under the water!

Human beings have a natural fear of two things: one is the bottomless, nameless abyss. The second is the unfathomable pool of black water. Especially when there are inexplicable black shadows swimming in this pool of black water!

I was so shocked that I couldn't help shouting!

Huh!

The fat man reacted the fastest and pulled me down, while Long Wu was guarding the shore with a knife.

I immediately shouted: "Damn it! There's something in the water! Get back quickly!"

Hearing something, the fat man who had just been in the water was the first to get hairy.

"Have you seen what that thing looks like?"

I said to the fat man: "It's a dark mass, I can't see it clearly! But it swims very fast!"

"I seem to have seen it, is it...!" The fat man had turned his head and was pointing at the underground river water.

The black shadow flashed again, turning violently in the dark underground river. This time, no one could see clearly. The underwater shadow was oval-shaped, with four legs and a long neck.

After this strange black shadow circled around, it suddenly emerged from the water and landed about ten meters away from us.

Three flashlights shone at the same time, and the fat man first exclaimed: "Leatherback turtle! This seems to be a leatherback turtle. I have seen this kind of thing in the sea. The number is very small now, very rare!"

The creature that looked very much like a turtle had no hard shell and lay motionless, seemingly indifferent to our existence .

The overall length of that thing, including its tail, was visually estimated to be over two meters. If any of the three of them lay down in front of it, there would be absolutely no chance of it reaching its peak.

I think it’s probably Fatty’s preconception. This is an underground freshwater river. How can there be marine life here? It should just look similar. But the giant turtle doesn't look aggressive.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, the fat man raised his gun and was about to fire: "If you don't believe what I said, then I will kill it and bring it to you for analysis. I can guarantee that if you make a bet, it will definitely be me, the fat man, who wins!"

I stopped the fat man. The thing was very close to me just now. If I wanted to attack someone, I would have suffered a long time ago. Might as well let it be, it doesn't matter if it's a leatherback or not.

The fat man thought I still didn't believe him, so he wanted to kill him first and then show off. But just as he was about to pull the trigger, the giant turtle seemed to sense the fat man's intention.

He suddenly shrunk his neck and dived back into the water with a splash. The black shadow flashed and disappeared.

The fat man marveled and said: "This Longquan Tomb is really a geomantic treasure. Even the old bastard inside can become a spirit. How does it know that I will shoot and pinch it in the next second? Aren't you saying that things like turtle bastards are stupid? That's it. It’s like a donkey pulling a mill, but it just can’t get out of the circle.”

I said to myself: It's better to be stupid, because you can live longer if you are stupid, otherwise how can you say that you are a tortoise that lasts for thousands of years, and you are a tortoise that lasts for ten thousand years? But just because people are stupid doesn't mean they are stupid. There is murderous intent in people's eyes. Scientifically speaking, it is a kind of bioelectricity. This kind of spiritual creature can be easily detected.

Just like, if you are walking on the road, there is no one around, and if someone is hiding in the grass and staring at you, you will definitely feel hairy in your body. This is the body's defensive reflex after receiving some kind of bioelectricity.

In short, you must not enter the water directly now, you must be a carrier! Otherwise, it would be difficult for a god to guess what else was swimming in this bottomless underground river.

After thinking about it, the three of them decided to fill up their inflatable sleeping mats and tie them together, which could barely be used as a bamboo raft!

After making up an inflatable "bamboo raft" and sliding it into the water, the fat man stood on it and tried it out. He said that as long as the three of them stood in the right position and maintained a good balance, there would be no problem.

Sitting on the temporary "bamboo raft", I used the engineer's shovel as a paddle. Fatty and I each held one side, while Long Wu stood in the middle with a knife as the best guard.

In this way, the "bamboo raft" was rowed more than 20 meters by us.

The fat man said: "I dare not hide it from you two brothers. Even though I have two more pieces of meat on my body than ordinary people, I am extremely afraid of the cold. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I didn't pay attention to my health during those years when I was running boats. As soon as I arrived in the cold area, my feet became cold. I feel weak. I still feel cold all over from the step I stepped on the bottom of the water just now!"

The fat man's words were a bit exaggerated, but they also reminded me of a person. It is said that Heshen, the most greedy man in the Qing Dynasty, suffered from a strange disease called foot soft disease when he was in his forties. So, he would skin a live dog, no matter how big or small, alive in the middle of the night every day, tie the dog skin to his knees, put on his official uniform and go to court. At that time, every time he went to court. Many of the kneeling officials smelled the smell of blood, but they dared to be angry but dared not speak, dared to ask but dared not care.

The dogs he skinned alive would often struggle for a long time, with their red bodies crawling and rolling on the ground, with blood stains everywhere.

Moreover, He Shen is also a typical miser. Although he has a family fortune equivalent to 800 million taels of silver, he is a Pixiu who only wants to come in and not want to go out.

Every additional income of one tael of silver would make him happy for a long time. Every time I spent half a tael of silver, it was like peeling off the skin.

I joked with the fat man: "There is no place for you to find dog skin now. If you see that kind of giant turtle again, you can hunt one. It is said that drinking turtle blood raw can make people's limbs warm and their blood flow up."

I'll knock the fat man down quickly, and the turtle's blood will be spared. He added: "How can I say that I am good at everything, but don't be a miser. I am not satisfied with having mountains of gold and silver at home. In the end, I was crushed to death by the mountains stacked by myself, and all kinds of treasures were not available in the end." All belong to Qianlong's precious son Jiaqing..."

The fat man suddenly paused and said, "It's strange, but I feel like the cold wind is starting to blow on the back of my neck."

The fat man's last words gave me a strange feeling, as if someone was blowing air behind me, and it was cool air!

This strange feeling made me nervous instantly. I swallowed, slowly closed my eyes, took a deep breath and considered whether to look back!

Suddenly, I turned around sharply. The water behind me was pitch black, and I couldn't find anything except an extremely blurry area illuminated by the searchlight on my helmet.

But when I slowly turned my head back, I saw something lying on the fat man's back!

It was a white shadow with long hair, facing my gaze. The thing turned its head mechanically and looked at me!

It belongs to your ancestors! I immediately yelled.

This extremely pale woman's face was exactly the ghost that Fatty and I saw flashing by!

At this time, my whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and I felt like my neck was no longer mine! I want to turn to the front, but I can't do it without looking at that pale woman's face!

The woman's face was clearly illuminated by my searchlight. Her long, damp black hair covered half of her face. The other half of her face had an eyeball with only the whites open. Her face was flat, as if it had been burned with an iron!

When the fat man saw my eyes widening, he gritted his teeth and kept pointing at his back. I knew I must have seen something extremely terrifying, and that he was already in danger. When the momentum was not right, the fat man did not dare to look back immediately. He picked up the weapon shovel and asked in horror: "Left or right!"

I gritted my teeth and said, "That damn thing is coming here! He's lying on your back and blowing air on the back of your neck! Take a photo of the right side!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shovel in the fat man's hand swung towards his right shoulder like a bolt of lightning in the dark night.

There was only a weird muffled sound of metal being slapped tightly on the dry piece of meat. The white thing fell from the fat man's shoulder into the water. It actually swung in the water and got directly under our "air raft"!

The fat man shouted: "There's something fucking wrong! Why does the ghost still have flesh on his body?"
