Chapter 96 The Tank Monster

Militiamen with the swinging reel winch rolled up the chain, in the chain drag, a huge black object “clattering” dripping water, was hanging up from the water pool, because the light source of the torch is limited, the object is dark, at first you can only see the rough outline, round and thick, like a big tank, but you can be sure of one thing, it is not some kind of animal in the water! But one thing is certain, it’s not some animal in the water, it’s a huge object.

We have not seen anyone has not seen the Supreme Lord Buddha’s furnace, could really be my words, the world where there is such a coincidence, I in order to see more clearly, let Shirley Yang held up the flashlight illumination, I myself raised inserted in the ground of the torch, to the nearer to look at it carefully.

At this time the whole black huge object was hoisted out of the water, the militia platoon leader and other people to fix the winch, also came over to watch, the diameter of the pool of water is less than three meters, more like a larger borehole, we stood at the edge of the pool, reach out to touch the hoisted up things.

In the torch flashlight irradiation, this time see very clearly, only to see this is a “vat”, at least the shape is very much like a water tank, the cylinder body has countless small holes, engraved a lot of weird patterns, I and Shirley Yang have seen a lot of ancient things, this strange thing is the first time I have witnessed, really don’t understand what this is something, the age and history of the origin of the whole can not see. I can’t see the age and history of the source, but I don’t know what kind of person, and take great pains to use several chains to hang it in the water pool, this broken jar is worth so confidential?

Cylinder mouth is sealed, the lid is a pointed top, looks very heavy, another six plugs on the side of the fastening, want to open the lid, as long as the removal of the six plugs can be.

“Huge tank” around all the holes as big as a small finger, a sinking into the water pool, “Huge tank” can be filled with water through the holes, but as long as the rocking reel winch to pull up the chain, a beyond the surface of the water pool, “Huge Tank “in the storage of water will leak out, under the sky of the water tank is used to hold water, but this “strange tank” function seems not so simple, is another use.

Even the militia platoon leader and other rough people, also see that this is not what the Great Physician’s alchemy furnace, can not help but ask: “Hu chief, how this is not like the Great Physician’s furnace for pills, but a few like my home leakage of the broken tank.”

I said to the militia platoon leader, “Comrade platoon leader, this is what you don’t understand, your family’s water tank has so many patterns on it? You see this many patterns shape ancient and peculiar, must be a piece of antiquity, you just wait for the cultural relics bureau to come to give you villagers soldiers awards.”

Shirley Yang looked at this strange tank, is also under the heart of doubt: “This is not like a water tank, I see more like a torture instrument.”

I said to Shirley Yang: “I know what you mean, you mean to put the living prisoner into the leaky tank, immersed in the pool of water, when he is drowning, and then lifted the tank out of the water, the water inside the drain, that kind of torture instrument is there, I have seen it in the movie, the reactionaries often use that kind of torture torture to torment our heroic and unyielding underground party, but I see that this strange tank is not like a torture instrument. But I don’t think this strange tank is like a torture instrument, the torture instrument doesn’t need to be so carefully carved, the painting pattern on the tank is extremely exquisite, it seems to be something of some years old. Let’s guess is useless, go up and pull out the plug, see what is inside before, may be the elixir.”

Militia platoon leader stopped me and said: “Hu chief, can not dare to open, in case if the cylinder sealed with a demon, put out how good?”

I said to the militia platoon leader: “told you how many times this kind of place can not have monsters, just now we saw the pool in the chain shaking all, may be under the pool of water connected to the underground lake, the lake’s big fish and prawns hit this tank, do not be paranoid. If you still think so, I can not help, let’s let the facts speak, you all back away to cover me on it, see how I single-handedly go up to remove the lid of the tank, inside there really is a fierce and vicious monsters, but also the first to bite me, I fucking want to see who dares to bite me.”

They can’t stop me, had to build up the hand-ledge, put me to the top of the “strange tank”, this strange “strange tank” and the chain is very strong, I stand on it, although some swaying, but the chain is not overburdened with signs of breakage.

I climbed to the top of the “strange tank”, a touch only under, only to find that the outside of this tank, wrapped with three layers of iron painted with raw paint, very strong, not an unusual tile cylinder, heart secretly said: “Damn, so strong tank is loaded with what? Maybe it is really sealed with some ghosts and monsters, after opening it, I will only take a look, if there is any situation, I will immediately seal the lid.”

Shirley Yang and the militia stood below, tilted their heads up and looked at me, they all sweated for me, they kept reminding me to be more careful, I dismantled the two plugs, raised my hand and waved to the crowd below, “Good day, comrades, comrades hard work.” Then continue to head down to dismantle the next plug, these plugs in the water soaked for a long time, but did not rust, a hard pull can be pulled off.

I just dismantled to the fifth plug, suddenly under the feet of the “strange tank” a shake, seems to have something in the tank in a strong struggle, I stood on it, unsteady footing, almost fell head first, and hastily grabbed the upper side of the chain, the loss of center of gravity of the body is firmly fixed.

In fact, hanging in mid-air “strange cylinder” inside something moving, the cylinder after all, heavy, swinging amplitude is not large, just I was not prepared, but it was a jump, I climbed the chain, only to hear the cylinder “open in the slap” chaotic sound, it really seems to be something in the vigor of the I climbed on the chain, only to hear the cylinder “Paili slap” chaotic sound, really like something is struggling.

Is Professor Sun trapped inside? In the pool soaked for so long has not drowned? Below Shirley Yang and the three militia also heard the sound, are to the “strange tank” shouted Professor Sun’s name, let him not worry, we will soon save him out.

Cylinder sound ceaselessly, but no one answered, I am eager to save people, where still care a lot, and immediately pulled out the last plug tether, the cylinder on the limited space to maneuver, I will use my hands to climb the chain, want to kick open the lid of the cylinder.

At this time I suddenly appeared in my mind a thought: “In ancient times there is a kind of cylinder coffins, with the cylinder as a coffin, the dead into the inside of the burial, but very rare, I have never encountered, is it that this peculiar leaky eyes of the vat, is a cylinder coffin, inside the dead and immortal zombie haunts?”

Shirley Yang and I came to Shaanxi this time, also brought two flashlights, but in Shirley Yang’s bag, I climbed to the top of the tank, in addition to the “touch the gold talisman”, what instruments are not carrying, even a black donkey is also not there, there are really zongzi is also difficult to deal with, but I then dispelled the idea, I am on that I have a half of the book “Sixteen Characters of Yin-Yang Feng-Yang”. Half of the book “sixteen words yin and yang feng shui secret art” very trust, since according to the book, this kind of place will not have zombies, there is certainly not, heck here to really have zongzi, I go back to that half of the book torn, and now bite the teeth, hard to kick open the lid of the tank.

Cave in the dark, Shirley Yang and three militiamen are holding torches in the lower head, I came up without a flashlight, at the moment people in mid-air, only to see the “strange cylinder” in the black GuLongDong, coupled with the lower side of the torch will be the eyes of a shaking, it is what can not be seen, I leaned over to the lower side of the people want to throw a flashlight up, just a stoop! , only to smell a fishy odor straight to the end of the nose, choking and gasping for breath.

I hastily cover my nose, take the eyes like “strange tank” in a sweeping glance, in the darkness only see a white man’s hand from the post stretched out, I shouted: “Professor Sun?” I shouted, “Prof. Sun?” and quickly reached out to hold that hand, trying to pull him up.

But as soon as my hand touched the arm at the mouth of the tank, I felt that it was not quite right, wet and hard, it was a hand bone rather than a living person’s hand, when I thought of this, it was already too late, because I was too anxious, and had already tugged on the hand bone to pull up a skeleton skeleton with a big mouth.

Although the “strange tank” in mid-air, the light source in the lower place, things in the tank can not be seen, but the skeleton was pulled out, see is real, white, watery, this thing is completely beyond expectations, the psychological gap is too big, scared me scream, from the tank tumbled down, big head down into the water pool.

The water in the deep pool is cold and bone-chilling, Yin Qi is extremely heavy, I fell in head down feet up, choked by the pool of water in the nasal cavity pain unbearable, good thing I grew up since I was a child from Fujian seaside, whether it is the military district with a diving pool, or the wind and waves of the seaside, are I was a child and Fatty and other people swimming to go, the water is that time to practise out of, because as a child I don’t know what is called the risk of, how many times have almost drowned in the Water.

At this time fell into the pool, but the heart did not panic, open your eyes in the water, there is no source of light, you must immediately swim back to the mouth of the pool, otherwise you will have to choke to death in the water, but the surrounding area is pitch black, when I fell down the head is dizzy, completely lost the sense of direction, in who can not hear the sound, really seems to be already dead, at most, I can still hold on to half a minute, it seems to be unable to go back.

When I was already desperate, suddenly bright, someone holding a waterproof flashlight toward me swam over, not bystanders, it is Shirley Yang see me fall into the pool, the pool mouth on the small down big, once fell, within two minutes do not swim back, you have to drown in the bottom, do not dare to delay, from the militia grabbed a rope, holding a flashlight jumped into the water pool.

I know this time can no longer show off, hurriedly hold Shirley Yang’s hand, the militiamen on the top pulling the rope lock to pull the two of us up.

Shirley Yang face brushes white: “You old Hu, this time is really dangerous, I can not say you again a few seconds …… at night, it is simply unthinkable.”

I also slowed down half a day to come back to God, to Shirley Yang and is grateful and ashamed: “and fucking almost go to see Marx, but a back to life two times familiar, in front of the ghost gate around more often, it is not afraid. It doesn’t matter if it’s a few seconds later, the big deal is that you guys drag me up and give me a few more times of artificial respiration ……”

I was about to say a few more words, that suspended in mid-air “strange cylinder” and a burst of sound, seems to be someone inside the big cylinder wall knocking for help ……
