Chapter 588: Exploring Tianma Castle at Night (4)
Ten days passed without realizing it.
With the help of Posellee, Yang Shouwen and others finally found an entrance to the Tibetan soldiers' cave.
The entrance is located in a river berth in Jiesu River.
Jiesu River is a tributary of the Wuhu River and the river of life in Tianma City.
According to the sheepskin map, when the Tibetan Bing Cave was built, Cao Xishka's ancestors connected the Tibetan Bing Cave together in order to facilitate hiding. In this way, once the castle is broken, they can hide underground without worrying about drinking water. According to the marking on the map, Cao Xishka's ancestors dug an underground river in the Tibetan Bing Cave and surrounded the Tibetan Bing Cave. However, after the flood thirty years ago, it is impossible to determine whether the underground river is still there... but this is the only way to enter the Tibetan Bing Cave.
"Yang Jun, are you sure you want to go?"
Yang Shouwen said: "Elder Posellie, this is the only way I can be sure whether the person I am looking for is still in Tianma City."
He wanted to find the governor of Tianma to show his identity, but he knew very well that once he entered the governor of Tianma, it would be even more dangerous. From Cao Xishka's previous actions to cooperate with the government army, Yang Shouwen vaguely felt that there must be someone behind Cao Xishka's back. If that person had evil thoughts, he would fall into the trap when he went to the castle.
So, he had no other choice.
Seeing that Yang Shouwen was determined, Poeceli did not persuade him again.
He designed the path again, and at the same time prepared all the items for Yang Shouwen.
At noon the next day, Poseille led Yang Shouwen, Mingxiu and Yang Shiliu and the other two to leave the temple, leave Tianma City, and head straight for the south of the city.
Pocerey found a ship and hid it in the river bay.
After it was dark, he led Yang Shouwen and the other two onto the boat, then rowed himself and sent him into the reed marsh.
After entering the reed marsh, Yang Shouwen and the other two took off their monk's robes.
They were wearing black tight water linings, carrying weapons, and a small bag was tied around their waists.
This small bag was given by the corpse of Mirodo, and it contains medicine to drive away mosquitoes and poisonous snakes.
"The underground river has not been used for thirty years, so I don't know what insects and snakes will be hidden inside.
After you find the entrance, you must be more careful. Once you find that something is wrong, you will return it and let us think of other solutions.
I will wait here by boat, please take care of yourself, Mr. Yang.”
Yang Shouwen nodded at Poseille, looked at Mingxiu and Yang Shiliu, and then jumped into the water along the boat.
The river water in mid-July is not very cold.
The three of them walked in the water and soon approached the river bank.
“Prepare to…dive!”
Yang Shouwen took a deep breath, and with a command, he took the lead in diving into the water. Ming Xiu and the others followed him and dived into the river, followed by Yang Shouwen, and soon found the entrance to the underground river behind a pile of dense aquatic plants.
Yang Shouwen took out a fluorite rod to illuminate the underwater world.
The black hole exudes a mysterious aura.
He didn't dare to hesitate, and swam into the hole with a fluorite stick in one hand.
The water cave was deep, and Yang Shouwen took the lead and marched forward. After swimming about 300 meters, he suddenly rushed out of the water and breathed in fresh air. Immediately afterwards, Mingxiu and Yang Shiliu also rushed out of the water.
"According to the markings on the map, walking along this waterway, you can see the Tibetan Bing Cave for about three miles."
"Since that's the case, let's continue."
The water cave is very dark, but fortunately there are fluorite sticks that can be illuminated.
The light is very weak, but it makes people feel more or less secure.
Along the way, they encountered many creatures in the water, such as water snakes, and water rats... Fortunately, the medicine bag made by CiMildo was very effective, making insects and snakes dare not get close to each other. But even so, it still makes people feel creepy.
"Why is there no way?"
After swimming about two miles, Yang Shouwen found that the road ahead was blocked.
Yang Shouwen said: "I'm afraid it was the flood from thirty years ago that washed away the passage... Let's take a look under the water, maybe we can find the passage."
The three of them took a deep breath and dived into the water.
The waterway is about three meters high. After the three of them dived to the bottom, they searched for a long time and finally found a hole at the bottom.
There was only one person at the entrance of the cave. Yang Shouwen was about to step forward, but was stopped by Yang Shiliu.
He gestured a few gestures, meaning: Alang, let me open the way.
Mingxiu agreed and nodded repeatedly.
Yang Shouwen did not insist, and waved his hand to agree to Yang Shiliu's request.
In this way, Yang Shiliu got in front, while Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu were guarding the entrance of the cave. After confirming that there was no danger, the two swam in the entrance of the cave one by one, followed Yang Shiliu, swam for about 100 meters before they swam out.
It surfaced again and felt much more stuffy.
Since the hole was underwater, the air circulation was significantly worse after entering.
"Continue walking, and you will be able to reach the Tibetan Bing Cave after almost another mile.
Yang Shouwen waved his hand and swam forward...
"There's no way again!"
Right ahead is a mound that seals the way forward.
The three of them climbed onto the mound. Yang Shouwen closed his eyes and recalled the sheepskin map in his memory. If we follow the map, there should be a fork here. Behind the mound is the place where the Tibetan Bing Cave is, but since it is blocked by mud and sand, we have to continue to advance along the underground river.
"You guys have a rest here. I'll look underwater and maybe I can find the entrance."
After Yang Shouwen finished speaking, he jumped into the water.
About a quarter of an hour, he finally found an entrance, so he floated out of the water, called Mingxiu and Yang Shiliu together, dived into the water, and continued to move forward from the entrance.
In this way, Yang Shouwen and the other two walked all the way, stopping and stopping... He couldn't remember how many waterways he had walked, and finally saw a little light.
"It's ahead, I see lights flashing."
"Qingzhi, put away the fluorite sticks and let's go..."
Mingxiu reminded her and Yang Shouwen immediately reacted.
The three of them put away the fluorite sticks and advanced along the dark waterway.
It was still an earthen wall, but there was a gap at the top of the earthen wall. The earthen wall was very strong. Yang Shouwen climbed up along the earthen wall and found that the gap at the top could accommodate a person crawling. So he crawled along the gap and soon reached the other end of the earthen wall.
It is better to say that it is a wall that piled up mud, sand, soil and stone after the flood washed away the Tibetan soldiers' cave.
After climbing to the edge of the earthen wall, Yang Shouwen leaned out and looked out.
I saw that under the earth wall was an open space of about four or five hundred square meters.
