treasure hunter

Pei Miao turned her head and asked Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman softly, "I saw it just now. It's a big catfish. It's estimated to be sixteen or seventeen meters long. It's very ferocious."

Wang Hao was shocked and whispered: "Sixteen or seven meters? Isn't that bigger than great white sharks and killer whales?"

Pei Miao said: "Catfish has no growth limit, as long as it doesn't die, it will keep growing. Thinking about it, this catfish may have been growing for many years, and there are plenty of bait fish here, so it's not surprising that it grows so big."

Li Xiaoman asked: "How many years has this catfish lived since it grows so big? Also, is there only one such huge catfish here?"

"Who knows." Pei Miao said, "Anyway, you all know the situation, it's just so dangerous, if you want to quit now, there's still time."

Wang Hao smiled and said: "We are super-men, with abilities beyond ordinary people. At this time, we can't back down."

Li Xiaoman said slowly: "Actually, I really want to quit because I am afraid of death, but... I have made a big mistake, and the country gave me a chance to redeem my crimes. I can't live up to the country's expectations of me, so... I will not pass up this opportunity."

Pei Miao said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's move on. The range I can perceive in the water is only 50 meters. How far can you perceive?"

Wang Hao said softly: "I can only perceive a strong biomagnetic field 30 meters away."

Li Xiaoman said: "The water quality here is actually very clear. Infrared rays have a strong penetrating power in transparent materials. That catfish is so big that I can see it from more than 100 meters away."

"Very good." Pei Miao said, "Now that the big catfish has left, let's go into the water quickly and don't turn on the lights. Li Xiaoman must always monitor the area within [-] meters in the water. Once you find a big catfish or other huge aquatic creatures Get close, tell us immediately, and then we stop moving, as long as we don’t make any noise, and don’t disturb the water, with the dark light here, the underwater creatures are so far apart, it’s hard to find us.”

"Okay." Li Xiaoman and Wang Hao both nodded.

"Be gentle when you get into the water." Pei Miao said, and slowly slid into the water along the rope, making almost no sound.

Then Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman also slid into the water.

They all had small life jackets on them, and when they were still in the water, the water just reached their chins, Wang Hao asked softly, "Which direction are you going to swim, Pei Miao will lead the way."

Pei Miao said: "Actually, I only remember the approximate range of directions, and the angle error may reach 60°. Let's swim first and find the shore."

After he finished speaking, he started to swim in front, and Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman followed behind.

Because I wore swimming equipment this time, I was able to swim a lot less effort than the last time, and the speed was much faster. After swimming for about 10 minutes, I finally reached the shore. The three of us went ashore. How tired, but Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman were exhausted after they landed, and they sat on the ground panting for breath.

Pei Miao turned on the flashlight and looked around, then frowned and sighed, "This place is different from where I landed last time."

Li Xiaoman asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Pei Miao said: "Last time I walked along the direction of the water flow, this time I still walk along the direction of the water flow, as long as there is no fork in the river, I will not go wrong."

Wang Hao nodded: "This method is reliable."

Li Xiaoman rested for a while, regained some strength, got up and took a flashlight to look around, and couldn't help but sigh: "This underground space is so big."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "You will see a bigger space later."

After another ten minutes, Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman had almost rested, and the three of them began to walk forward along the direction of the water.

After walking for about ten minutes, they were shocked to find that the river was gone.

Wang Hao turned his head and asked Pei Miao, "What's going on? Did we go in the wrong direction?"

Pei Miao walked to the river, put his hands into the water, checked the bottom of the water, and saw that there was still water flowing at the bottom, and the flow was fast. He got up and said, "There should be a waterway under this rock wall, but I don't know where it leads. Where, we were unlucky, and we really encountered a fork in the river."

Wang Hao said depressedly: "Ok, let's go back, go back to where we landed, and think about what to do again."

At this time, Li Xiaoman suddenly said: "There seems to be something over there."

Pei Miao and Wang Hao looked in the direction Li Xiaoman pointed, and the light of the flashlight also shone there. There was a large area of ​​rocks over there, and there were messy boulders everywhere in the open space. Also half a person tall.

It was too far away, estimated to be a hundred meters away, and the light from the flashlight had become scattered and very dim.

Wang Hao couldn't see clearly after looking at it for a long time, so he asked, "What's there?"

Li Xiaoman said: "Like a human..."

Wang Hao blurted out: "How could there be anyone else in this place besides us."

Pei Miao said, "Could it be a stone statue or something?"

Li Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Yes, it should be a stone statue, motionless."

Pei Miao hurriedly said: "Go and have a look." After speaking, she walked over there.

Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman followed closely behind.

Where they went ashore, the water surface was about seven or eight meters away from the mountain wall, but when they got here, the water surface became farther and farther away from the mountain wall, and the land area became larger. In order not to go wrong, they always walked by the water. I went wrong and found something strange there, so I went to have a look.

The closer they got, the clearer they could see. When they were more than 20 meters away, Pei Miao and the others could already confirm that it was a stone statue, and not just one.

After bypassing several chaotic rocks, Pei Miao and the others came to the stone statues, and saw four stone statues standing neatly in a row, all bowing slightly, saluting their heads, and bowing in one direction.

Pei Miao covered the four stone statues with the All-God Domain, and after careful inspection, he found that they were four ordinary stone statues with solid interiors, all of which were carved from a single block of stone.

But after careful inspection, Pei Miao found that the four stone statues were dressed in completely different styles. The stone statue on the far right was carved of a bearded man, wearing a crown of vines, linen and hemp shoes, and a tiger skin around his waist. , like a hunter.

The second stone statue on the right has a long beard, wears a metal ring-shaped crown, wears coarse cloth clothes and pants, bearskin is slanted, and a simple machete is pinned to his waist.

The third stone statue still has a long beard, wearing a bamboo hat, a sleeveless cloth, and carrying a shovel, like a farmer.

The fourth stone statue looks a bit extravagant, well-dressed, with a beaded crown on its head and a sword on its waist.

Pei Miao observed all the four stone statues with his full attention, then narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "The Four Great Emperors - Yao, Shun and Yu Tang."

Wang Hao is a university graduate, so he naturally knows about Yao, Shun and Yu soup. Hearing this, he asked in surprise, "You mean that these four stone statues are carved with Yao, Shun and Yu soup?"

"Yes." Pei Miao said, "The one on the far right is Yao, and the one on the far left is Shang Tang. It can be seen from their clothing that the farther to the left, the better the clothes. Yao was still in the primitive tribe at that time. The state and the crown on the head are all made of branches."

Li Xiaoman looked at the four stone statues again from right to left, and realized later: "It's really like what you said, the one on the far right looks like a savage, and the one on the far left looks like an emperor."

Wang Hao asked puzzledly: "These four are the four great emperors in the history of our country. There is nothing wrong with carving them, but... it would be too much to carve them all as if they were worshiping."

Pei Miao snorted coldly, "I think it's also Sima Yi's masterpiece."

"Sima Yi?" Wang Hao looked at Pei Miao suspiciously and asked, "Why do you say Sima Yi did it?"

It turns out that the task Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman received did not mention that this is the tomb of Sima Yi, but only said that they should protect the archaeological experts from going to the tomb.

Now that they have all come here, Pei Miao will not hide it from them, and immediately tell them that this is the underground palace of Sima Yi's tomb.

After listening to it, Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman suddenly realized, but they didn't react too much. After all, they are not people in the archaeological circle, and they don't know the concept of Sima Yi's tomb.

Pei Miao followed the positions of the four stone statues and shone them with a flashlight, only to see that there were dense rocks in front of them, and the stones completely blocked the sight.

Pei Miao said, "Ahead... there may be something important."

Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman asked in unison: "What?"

Pei Miao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since the four stone statues are all bowing in that direction, it means that there must be something very important over there. Give me a flashlight. I'll take a picture first, and then go ahead to have a look."

After he finished speaking, he took out his camera to take pictures.

Li Xiaoman held a flashlight in both hands and helped Pei Miao to light up. Wang Hao also used the flashlight to help him, and asked, "Then why don't we go back and find the way?"

Pei Miao said: "Don't worry, you may not be able to find the right direction when you go back, you've come all the time, let's go ahead and have a look before we talk."

Wang Hao nodded upon hearing this.

They came down to explore the road, as long as they encountered something of archaeological value, it was the same wherever they explored.

After taking the photos, Pei Miao put away the camera and said, "Let's go." Then he turned around and left.

The three walked in the stone forest for about 5 minutes, and finally walked out of the stone forest. They saw a road completely paved with bronze in front of them, and the road was covered with verdant green.

Looking at the long bronze road, Pei Miao couldn't help but marvel: "This cave...is really..."

Wang Hao answered, "Unexpected."

Li Xiaoman said: "This road... is bronze?"

Pei Miao nodded: "Yes." After he finished speaking, he squatted down and touched the road surface. It was covered with rust, but it was still firm. The bronze floor was actually paved with bronze floor drills, and these bronze floor tiles, The thickness is about six centimeters, and the side length is about 90 centimeters.

Such a large piece of bronze floor tile weighs hundreds of catties, and the light of their flashlights can't reach the end of this bronze road. Just paving this road is a huge project.

These bronze floor tiles were covered with totems. Pei Miao tried to find out some patterns from these totems, but he had no clue and couldn't find any patterns.

He didn't want to waste too much time, so he took out his camera and took pictures of these bronze bricks. He took some high-definition close-up photos and panoramas, and then turned on the video recording function, and walked on the bronze road with Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman. ,Move forward.

After walking for a while, I came to a mountain wall in front of me. There was a big cave on the mountain wall, and the bronze road extended into it.

After entering the cave, the bronze road turns into a bronze staircase leading down.

They climbed up the steps and walked for a long time. Wang Hao sighed: "Invincible, this crypt is too invincible. I don't think Qin Shihuang's tomb is of this scale. How long have we been walking?"

Li Xiaoman raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's been ten minutes since I entered the cave."

Pei Miao said: "We walked slowly, and we only walked up 727 steps. Each step here is 22 centimeters high, that is to say, we have already walked down more than 100 meters."

Wang Haodao: "But I don't think we have gone very far. In fact, this staircase has always been curved, in a spiral downward shape."

Pei Miao said: "I also feel this. I have observed carefully just now. This cave with stone steps is actually dug out by man, not a natural cave."

Wang Hao said: "How can the natural one be so regular, it just presents a spiral downward shape, it must be excavated by man, I can't imagine how much time and manpower it will take to excavate such a large and long cave."

Pei Miao also found it inconceivable, and sighed, "I really don't know what's ahead."

Li Xiaoman suddenly said: "The front seems to be coming to an end."

Both Pei Miao and Wang Hao were overjoyed when they heard the words, and secretly quickened their pace.

Sure enough, after going down more than 100 steps, at the end of the bronze stairs, there is a huge double-separated bronze door. There is a Chilong totem on the bronze door. On the top of the door, there are two big characters: "Dragon Palace".

Wang Hao didn't know these two ancient characters, so he asked, "What characters are there?"

Pei Miao said, "Dragon Palace."

"Dragon Palace?" Wang Hao frowned suspiciously, "Have we reached the bottom of the sea yet?"

Li Xiaoman thought for a while and asked, "Does the dragon refer to the emperor?"

Pei Miao nodded: "I guess so. This is probably the emperor's residence... No, it's not appropriate to say the residence. It may be the emperor's final resting place."

"The emperor's tomb!" Wang Hao said pleasantly upon hearing the words, "Good guy, what a great discovery."

Pei Miao pointed the camera at the bronze door, then walked to the bronze door, tried to record every detail of the bronze door, and then began to use the whole mind domain to explore the back of the door.

Under the domain of his full attention, he saw that the bronze door was fifteen centimeters thick, and there was actually a huge stone at the back.

Such a thick bronze door may not be able to be blasted open even with a cannon.

Pei Miao frowned and said slowly, "This door is fifteen centimeters thick, and there is a huge stone at the back. The stone at the top probably weighs a ton."

Wang Hao asked: "What is the top stone?"

Pei Miao explained: "For example, if you close the door at home and use a stick to support the door, this stick is like a door stone."

"Understood." Wang Hao said, "I can try, use my mental strength to remove the top stone first, and then open the door."

Pei Miao was surprised and said, "Your spiritual power is so powerful, let alone the weight of the top stone, look at this bronze door, it probably weighs more than ten tons."

Wang Haodao: "The main characteristic of my spiritual power is the ability to control objects out of thin air. For small objects, I can quickly manipulate them, but for large objects, I can only manipulate them slowly. Don't underestimate the spiritual power of imperial objects. Just give me the power to control objects." It takes enough time to gather mental power, which can generate a lot of power, and...the leader even gave me a helmet as a gift."

After he finished speaking, he took out a soft hat from his small bag and put it on his head. There were several hard spots on the top, sides, front and back of the hat, which seemed to be installed with circuit equipment or the like.

Pei Miao asked curiously, "What's the use of this thing?"

"It can greatly enhance mental power." Wang Hao grinned and said, "It's just a little side effect."
