Chapter 152 – The Eye of Water

King Xian’s coffin, there is a great possibility that the bottom of the pool in the “eye of the water”, I remember seeing a huge stone beam at the bottom of the pool, at that time I thought it was the construction of the King’s tomb fell down the stone material, but now think about it, it may be the stone roof of the tomb passage.

We split up to prepare, will be the three thickest long rope, respectively, fixed on the wreckage of the heavy bomber underwater, there is no more suitable than the remains of this “air fortress” fixed pegs, which not only has a very high self-weight, but also a huge shell, far beyond the “water eye” diameter and suction force. The diameter and suction power of the “eye of water” were far exceeded.

Then we proceeded to move the copper horse, the copper horse is extremely heavy, good here in the terrain is a slope, three people make every effort, and finally pushed the copper horse into the water, and then the diving bag on the inflatable airbag, fixed in the copper horse’s abdomen, this is to do in order to come back from the “eye of the water”, you can use the buoyancy of the airbag, to offset some of the whirlpool in the huge suction. The purpose of this is to use the buoyancy of the airbag to counteract some of the suction of the whirlpool when returning from the “water eye”.

From the breach out of the time, outside is still black clouds, stars and moonlight, during the day that pool wall of ancient trees, vines, large waterfalls flying beads pounding jade, silver foam over the jade practice hanging blue peaks of the mysterious and gorgeous atmosphere, are all out of sight, the waterfalls group of huge sound of the water flow, completely like a hide in the darkness of the roaring thunder of the beast, listen to the heart alarming.

The three of us stepped on the water and floated in the pool, I said to Fatty and Shirley Yang: “Success or not, this is the moment, must pay attention, can not let the copper horse sink to the eye of the water, otherwise we can never get up.”

Shirley Yang said, “The water is unpredictable, what happens under the water is the most unpredictable, if it is difficult to enter the tomb passage from the whirlpool, we must not force ourselves to do it, we can retreat back first, and then we can discuss it from the usual way.”

I said to Shirley Yang: “Staying in the green hills, not afraid of no firewood, but once the time of the day is over, I am afraid that there will be no more opportunity to enter this king’s tomb, we must do our best today, if we can’t succeed, it is the will of God.” Said knocked his mountaineering helmet, let the tactical spotlight light up, put down the diving goggles, put on the oxygen mask, made a diving gesture, the first to sink into the bottom of the pool.

Shirley Yang and the fat man also dived into the water, the three underwater to find the copper horse, and tied to the upper side of the rope, the safety lock on the waist and firmly tied together, are locked with each other, plus a triple insurance, I raised the “Poseidon’s dazzle” underwater searchlight, with a strong beam of light to the surroundings of a sweep, and found that in the pool side, simply can not see the black vortex in the center. I could not see the black vortex in the center of the pool, and it was all pitch black.

But the terrain at the bottom of the pool, I have been very familiar with, and immediately found the bomber’s body, huge dark green fuselage, at this time is a large signpost, the tail of the aircraft is facing the direction of the mysterious “water eye”, the tail and the “water eye” in the middle of the aircraft, and a large boulder connected, along the way, the bomber’s body, and the bomber’s body. The tail and the “water eye” in the middle, there is a large boulder connected, along the bottom of these marks, even if the visibility is poor, but also to find the right direction.

Can not talk underwater, had to use sign language to communicate, we use the sign language name is called “seal”, not the world’s common German sign language, this is mainly because the U.S. Navy’s sign language is more simple and easy to understand, learn it very quickly, I pointed to Shirley Yang and Fatty pointed to the wreckage of the heavy bomber in that direction, made a cut sign. a cutting gesture.

Fatty’s mouth with a series of white bubbles of oxygen, nodded at me, Shirley Yang has also understood, immediately unlocked the copper horse’s airbag buoy, so that it rises to the surface of the water, so that if we are in the middle of the oxygen depletion, or the cylinder has a problem, we can still borrow the air tube connected to the buoy, temporary air exchange.

After about a minute, the buoy’s air nozzle had filled the air bladder with about one-third of the air, taking some of the weight off the bronze horse, and we pushed it under the water, ever advancing toward the whirlpool at the bottom of the pool.

We passed by the place, the bottom of the pool of mud algae and mayflies are floating to, in the water messy fluttering, was already dark underwater, visibility is even lower, I feel that the feet of the mud algae is not much thick, the bottom is very solid, as if all are flat boulders, it seems that the “Tomb of the King of Consecrated” tomb is really hidden in the bottom of the pool, and so a few more points! I have a little more confidence.

At this time, the position slightly in front of the Shirley Yang stopped, left and right clenched fists, elbows downward pressure, this is the “stop” signal, I and Fatty hurriedly stopped, no longer push the bronze horse.

Shirley Yang turned back to me, without her gesture, I have already sensed, underwater began to appear submerged, it seems that we have reached the edge of the “eye of the water”, in accordance with the predetermined program, I made a gesture to the fat man, stretching out his fingers, pointing back to his own eyes, and then pointing to the fat man! “You’re in front, we’ll cover you.”

Fatty’s thumb and forefinger circled together, and the remaining three fingers stretched out, “Roger that.” With that, he moved to the front of the bronze horse, and since he was the strongest amongst us, he had to be in front to make sure that the bronze horse wasn’t swept into the depths of the vortex.

With the heavy bronze horse, the three of us have knotted together, we will not be swept up by the whirlpool current force driven, but still feel the suction of the submerged current is getting bigger and bigger, until the black hole of the whirlpool close to the eyes, has been a little out of control of the body, the bronze horse is not one piece, but a number of parts were cast separately after the splicing of a number of parts, I do not know if it continues like this, will not be churned by the current to pieces.

I hurriedly raised an arm, open five fingers made a circle, clenched into a fist, to Shirley Yang and Fatty made a “quickly close together” gesture.

Three people plus a heavy backpack, and the weight of the bronze horse, the total weight of nearly a thousand pounds, and only then slightly stabilized the center of gravity, I slowly release the safety lock, so that the long rope to maintain a centimeter by centimeter gradually released.

Fatty yanked out two cold smoldering flames, a bump on the mountaineering helmet, immediately in the water out of non-flammable smoke and cold sparks, first let these two cold smoldering flames in the hand burned for five seconds, and then a scattering of the hands, two groups of bright light was immediately swept into the depths of the whirlpool.

I was at the back of the bronze horse, unable to see the glow of the cold sparklers, what it looked like in the vortex, only to see Fatty turn back, stretch his right hand out flat, covering his brow bone, and pointing to the vortex below, and then finally raising his big finger: “See, it’s right down there.”

I fixed my body with force, pointed at Shirley Yang and Fatty respectively, and patted my own mountaineering helmet, “Pay attention to safety.” Then the three of them tightly hugged the copper horse, borrowing the suction of the whirlpool, slowly sank down, thanks to the weight of this copper horse, or else once a person goes down, they will inevitably be swept by the current and become dizzy.

Just sunk into the whirlpool, Shirley Yang will immediately pull the inflatable rope, will be full of airbags, so as not to downward suction is too strong, directly by the dark current into the depths, if the bottom of the pool like a big pot, that with the middle of the “water eye”, on the bottom of the pot on the big hole, even the “Poseidon’s dazzling Even the “Poseidon’s Dazzle” this kind of advanced underwater lighting equipment, in the eye of the water also seems to become a small match, visibility drops sharply, then as in that horror of the ghost hole, was dragged into the boundless darkness by the evil spirits.

Good in holding that bronze horse, feel a kind of stable weight, heartbeat gradually stabilized, fat man first saw the entrance to the tomb, not in the depths of the vortex, almost close to the bottom of the pool, but the top of the bar blocked, if not into the “water eye”, simply can not see.

I see have found the tomb, busy and fat man and Shirley Yang together force, so that our group of people out of the center of the whirlpool, struggling to swim into the inside of the tomb.

Tomb passage and no stone door, inside is also all dark cold pool water, but into the tomb passage, will not feel the dark current of suction and scrolling force, this lapis lazuli tomb entrance of the boulders, is the reverse diagonal contraction arrangement, not at all subject to and one of the meters apart from the “water eye” force field, although so, we still dare not slow down, and to the deeper part of the tomb passage swim! More than twenty meters, before stopping.

Just now in the “water eye” in the full struggle, did not have time to be afraid, now a little back to think about it, any one of the links on the slightest difference in the late, at this time has not inevitably become the bottom of the pool of the ghosts, but finally found the tomb passage, risking so much, but also worth it.

We untie the rope on the body, in the water flooded tomb continued to swim to the depths, a little survey of the surrounding environment, only to see that the tomb is still wide and flat, two walls and underground, are square stone tiles, only the head is a large green stone, there is no mural and mention carved inscriptions, and even the town of the tomb of the statue is not, the most strange is that there is no stone door, it seems that we are prepared for the explosives can not be used.

But I immediately figured out, here can definitely lead to the king’s tomb “Xuan Gong”, because the king of dedication obsessed with cultivation of immortality and longevity, so he thought that after his death is able to ascend to heaven, and confident that the tomb will not have outsiders to enter the tomb, so the tomb road does not have a stone door to block, for grave robbers, stone door is indeed the most stupid thing, there is a stone door and no stone door The difference between having a stone door and not having a stone door is only that more time is wasted.

Tomb passage is deep and long, swim inward for a long time, always underwater, I made a gesture to the fat man and Shirley Yang to continue to move forward, judging from the scale of the terrain here, put the coffins and coffins of the “Xuan Gong”, should not be far away.

Sure enough and then forward tens of meters, the front of the bottom of the water appeared a stone slope, the tomb has become wider than before several times, along the stone slope upward, soon beyond the level of the pool, the three head out of the water, and immediately saw the end of the tomb stone slope, towering a greenish-gray jack stone door.

I wiped a handful of water on my face, surprise: “finally to the place.” Can not wait to immediately break into the door, fat man in the water pointing to the big stone door above, said, “Hey, old Hu you see that on the top …… how there is a small door?”

Fatty said that small door, is a copper in the highest place of the door building, the whole is black, construction is extremely exquisite, the doorway can just allow a person through, the door on the building and drip eaves, cast around the clouds and birds, seems to symbolize the high in the clouds above the sky.

I said to the fat man: “that place is called the door of heaven, is to the tomb owner corpse immortalization after ascending to heaven with, only in the Taoist door of the tomb only, but the beauty of the immortal ascension to heaven, those dry corpses will not even think about it, this door of heaven, just to our gang of gropers as a ready-made thieves hole.”

We have gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers, finally touched the king’s tomb “Xuan Gong” door, the heart can not help but be very excited, Shirley Yang is still worried that there is no inside the “雮尘珠”, suddenly asked me: “Ancient China, is there really a fairy? China, are there really immortals?”
