Chapter 1169 – Water ghost?
In fact, Zhuang Rui guess is not all right, the gold cake is easier to carry, that is only one aspect of the reason, more importantly, in that environment at that time, life is still not guaranteed, those craftsmen and how will the mind on the wealth?
It is important to realize that more than a thousand years ago, as the completion date of the tomb approached, these craftsmen, as well as the designers, knew that they were not far from the end.
In that situation of fear and trepidation, it was already fortunate to be able to escape with their lives, where would the craftsmen still think of taking food from the emperor’s mouth?
As it turned out, even with such a box of gold cakes, they were not blessed to enjoy it, but in the end, it was a reason for Zhuang Rui to justify his discovery of the tomb more than 1,000 years later.
“Crap, hell, I can’t believe more than an hour has passed.”
Just as Zhuang Rui was getting excited about the discovery in front of him, his eyes unintentionally slipped past the waterproof world name watch that Qin Xuan Bing had given him.
This look didn’t matter, Zhuang Rui realized that an hour and a half had passed since he entered the dark river, and immediately jumped up in a hurry, if it wasn’t for the fact that the space within the dark river was high enough, I’m afraid that Zhuang Rui would have been knocked on his head.
Reaching out and picking up a piece of gold cake with the word “Marco Polo”, Zhuang Rui walked towards the waterhole, knowing that when he went out, he would definitely be complained to death by Peng Fei.
As for Dr. Ren, Zhuang Rui believed that he would be immersed in the shock of discovering this mausoleum, so he probably wouldn’t have the chance to complain about himself.
“Wow ……”
Just as Zhuang Rui was about to jump down into the water pool, the water suddenly tumbled, and as a wave surged out, a black shadow appeared in the water pool.
“Shit? A water monster?”
Rao Zhuang Rui is bold enough, but also by this sudden change was startled, his mind immediately flashed such as similar to the “Monty Python” and other movies to, this Swan Lake covers hundreds of hectares, maybe inside will really appear what monsters?
Zhuang Rui’s brain was spinning rapidly, his hands were not idle, and he didn’t even care to use his aura to check what the other side was, so he just threw the gold cake at the shadows in the water pool in his hand.
“Ouch ……”
“Peng Fei?”
The voice that cried out in pain after being hit by the gold cake caused Zhuang Rui to recognize the other party’s origin.
“Brother Zhuang …… Zhuang?”
Peng Fei gasped when he spoke, he could not have Zhuang Rui’s ability to hold his breath, which swam twenty to thirty meters in the waterway connecting the Dark River and Swan Lake, almost let Peng Fei’s brain suffocated and died, being there desperately gasping for air, even the pain in his head could not be felt.
“Come up quickly, I said …… how did your kid run here?” Zhuang Rui’s heart is not justified, and came to a wicked first.
Walked to the edge of the water pool, a hand will Peng Fei pulled up, Zhuang Rui with aura quietly see Peng Fei forehead red and swollen a piece of after, the heart secretly thankful, fortunately, just now the gold cake smashed Peng Fei’s landing point, not the sharp edge.
“Damn …… you, you still have the nerve to say, this missing for most of the day, we are outside are anxious to die, you ……” Peng Fei originally could not catch his breath, by Zhuang Rui so said, angry almost did not suffocate.
Zhuang Rui knew that he was wrong, smiled and coughed a few times, said with a dry smile: “Ahem, I’m not a bit of a discovery? By the way, Peng Fei, let me tell you, my discovery here is most likely the greatest miracle in the history of mankind.”
“Come on, Brother Zhuang, let’s not talk about this greatest miracle, if the two of us don’t go out again, it will become a miracle to be remembered in the hearts of the people outside.”
Peng Fei this will also smooth over the gas, impatiently spoke out to interrupt Zhuang Rui’s words, he has never been interested in what archaeological exploration, to see Zhuang Rui safe and sound, he was relieved.
“Right, right, go out first, go out first.”
Zhuang Rui nodded his head repeatedly, if he didn’t go out again, I’m afraid that the people outside would put Peng Fei on the list of people who had been killed as well.
After Peng Fei took a short rest, Peng Fei was in front of Zhuang Rui in the back, the two of them dived outward from the waterhole.
This came in when the hole has suction, only need to pay attention to those water plants on the line, but to swim out, that can be much more difficult, can not help but to set aside to the body of the entanglement of the water plants, the most important thing is that the resistance of the water so that the duo every paddling step, all feel very difficult.
Zhuang Rui is indifferent, twenty to thirty meters of distance, and then difficult to swim a minute or two is enough, but swim in front of Peng Fei is some can not eat the energy, just went in when it consumes a lot of physical strength, and now rushed to the front, so that Peng Fei is very hard.
But at this time has gone into the water, is to turn back can not, because the back and Zhuang Rui blocked the road it, just when Peng Fei suffocated red face, vigorously paddling forward, suddenly feel backward water feet were Zhuang Rui to catch.
The next thing Peng Fei felt a lot easier, that brother behind him grabbed his feet and pushed them forward vigorously, making Peng Fei save a lot of strength, and simply stopped paddling, grabbed the rocks on both sides of the waterway, and let his body move forward quickly underwater.
“Dr. Ren, no, you can’t go back into the water, two people have already gone missing, it won’t help if you go down there.”
After Peng Fei had been in the water for seven or eight minutes, Dr. Ren also turned pale, and without saying a word, he started to take off his clothes, but was yanked back by Bartel.
Dr. Ren was anxious at this time, the reason why Professor Meng let him follow Zhuang Rui, on the one hand, is that he can give Zhuang Rui help in archaeology related knowledge, on the other hand, is that he is older, can also take care of Zhuang Rui in life.
However, Dr. Ren never expected that this was just an ordinary trip, but such a thing happened.
This made Ren Chunqiang’s brain almost go blank, and regardless of his own wateriness that could only dog paddle, he actually bloodied himself and prepared to go into the water to look for the duo.
“I’ll go to Ordos right now and ask for help from the local archaeological department and public security authorities, Dr. Ren, you must be calm.”
The rough-looking Bartel, at this time, did show the calmness that had once been honed in that special unit.
Things had already happened, neither grief nor impulsiveness could solve the problem, the most important thing now was to seek help from the relevant departments and strive to find the bodies of the duo.
“Still calm my ass! If something happens to Zhuang Rui and the others, do you know how big a storm there will be?”
Ren Chunqiang was on the verge of tears at the moment, this way together, he knew quite a lot of things about Zhuang Rui’s identity, Peng Fei alone took out that Central Security Bureau’s documents, it can be seen that Zhuang Rui’s deep background that is not known.
“Don …… t stop me ……”
Dr. Ren facing the lake, the whole a to commit suicide posture, just after being Bartel embraced the back waist, exhausting the whole body strength but also unable to move forward further.
“Wow wow ……”
Suddenly, in the crowd not far away from the lake, a ripple, and then the water tumbling, two pouches of green oil head, from the surface of the water to explore out, just and Ren Chunqiang hit a photo.
Ren Chunqiang, who is trying to break free from Bartel s arms, suddenly let out a shout from his mouth, “Water …… water ghost ah!”
At the time of seeing the two puffs of green oil head right in the middle, there is a pair of green oil eyes, Dr. Ren originally wanted to go into the water of the courage, suddenly disappeared, the whole body is like being drained of the air of the ball of skin, suddenly deflated all of a sudden.
Don’t look at Ren Chunqiang all day and tomb dead people deal with, but where such a person, great courage is needless to say, but they also have a bottom line in their hearts, and will collapse when they meet this bottom line.
Obviously, these two monsters that appeared from the surface of the lake subverted Dr. Ren’s knowledge of atheism for more than thirty years.
“Ma yo, it’s really a water ghost!”
After hearing Dr. Ren’s miserable cry, Timur on the side also saw the movement in the water, but he was much bolder than Dr. Ren who had been dealing with the dead all his life, and copied the bow and arrow beside him in his hand, about to make an attack on the foreign objects appearing in the water.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing? Timur Anta, it’s me!”
Zhuang Rui, who had just emerged from the surface of the lake, hadn’t yet heard what Ren Chunqiang was shouting, when he saw that Timur suddenly fished out his bow and arrow and aimed it at himself, so he couldn’t help but shout out loud.
On the contrary, Peng Fei’s brain is lacking oxygen at the moment, for the movement on the shore is muddled, there is no reaction.
“Is …… it Zhuang Ruian answer? How did you …… you turn into a water ghost so quickly ah?”
After hearing the words of Zhuang Rui, Timur’s brain is also a mess, the hand has been strung bow and arrow can not help but loosen a little, just he heard more than ten years of this lake area has a water ghost legend, is the following consciousness as Zhuang Rui as a water ghost changed.
“What water ghost changed, I am Zhuang Rui ah! Nuo, he is Peng ……”
Zhuang Rui listen to some inexplicable, reported his name, pointing to Peng Fei, but was dumbfounded, Peng Fei that top of a head of watercress look, is not like a monster? I think my own appearance is not better.
“Which has what water ghost, is the Zhuang brothers and Fei Zi, Timur, put down the arrow.”
Or Bartel is calm enough, a glance can see that these two people are people and not ghosts, immediately went forward and snatched the bow and arrow that Timur pulled into a full bow.
After Zhuang Rui reached out and ripped the water grass off his head, he pulled Peng Fei toward the shore and swam, but when the two of them came ashore, they still gave the crowd a shock, the whole of this dude was wearing a suit made of water grass.
“I say, Zhuang …… Zhuang Rui, you two are discovering the crystal palace down there? How can you stay so long?”
Until Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei cleaned up all the water plants on their bodies, Dr. Ren, who was limp on the ground, let his brain believe the facts that his eyes saw.
“Brother Ren, the Crystal Palace was not seen, but the tomb of the thousand year old ghost was found, it seems we can’t go back to Beijing tomorrow!”
Zhuang Rui smiled at his words and pulled out a piece of gold cake that still had his body heat from the boxers behind his buttocks and threw it to Ren Chunqiang.
