Chapter 23: Bottom of the Well
The place where everyone is now is a wide tomb passage. There is a row of oil lamps on each side of the tomb passage. The oil inside is completely exhausted, and the wick has long been covered with dust. But what surprised everyone the most was that in addition to the oil lamps, there were also full of red clouds on the walls on both sides. A huge body is exposed every few meters in the red clouds, and the body is covered with dense scales, so it is impossible to tell what it is.
"This person is too unappreciative, what are you doing?" A guy with earrings shook his head and called him a gangster. Even Wu Jiayi and the others didn't know his name.
Another guy followed and said, "It's normal for you to not appreciate it. This is an elegant art - landscape painting. Do you understand it?" He pointed to the cloud above and explained, "Look, these paintings are all big mountains, one by one. Have you heard of hundreds of thousands of mountains? This is! This body is actually a huge giant snake!"
"Fuck, your snake is bigger than a mountain? It's obviously cloudy, where did you get the 100,000 mountains?" Another guy shouted.
Several guys were bored and quarrel, but Uncle Li didn't care. I was even more lazy to listen to their nonsense, but what made me interesting was that I didn't know what that guy thought about it, but he actually regarded the clouds as mountains.
The tomb passage was not very long, and after walking less than a hundred meters, everyone heard a "rumbling" sound coming from the front, which was not very loud. The people in front of them shone forward with flashlights. Just in front of everyone, a strange phenomenon appeared less than thirty meters. Under the light of the flashlight, only a few water columns could be seen spraying out from several directions and finally landed in one place. The "rumbling" sound was made there.
Everyone stepped faster and walked over, and then a guy shouted: "Damn, it's so awesome! There's actually a statue of god!"
Then other guys shouted: "Really, really!" "The water actually spurted out of the mouth of the statue!" "Fuck, is this well belonging to a dry bird?" "..."
I looked around and saw that this was a tomb room of about 40 or 50 square meters. There were five statues of gods with a height of nearly four meters near the wall. Each statue was sprayed out of its mouth, and five streams of water finally gathered in a well with a diameter of less than two meters in the center of the tomb room. What was most shocking was that there was a large "卍" character on the wall behind each statue! The whole character was nearly one meter higher than the statue and was painted black!
"This well is very deep!" Wu Jiayi stood at the wellhead and looked inside.
"Miss Six, be careful, don't fall down, it's very dangerous." The gangster with earrings seemed to care about Wu Jiayi very much, and hurried over as he said.
Wu Jiayi ignored him and still stood at the wellhead and shone in. Several guys next to him were also talking about something. I followed Uncle Li and the others and looked down with the flashlight of several people. Since the water was sprayed out from the mouth of the statue, although it was very fast, it was not very large, and water vapor did not form in the well, so it would not affect the lighting of the flashlight.
We used professional wolf eye flashlights, and the lighting distance was about forty meters. But even with this considerable range, it was still pitch black in the well and there was no bottom at all. The third brother swallowed and murmured: "This well is a bit deep!"
A dark-skinned guy looked at Uncle Li and asked, "Second Master, how to fix it?" He said while taking off the backpack behind him. I think this kid is very smart and able to figure out what he meant. The tomb passage extends to the tomb chamber, and there is no way out. If you want to move forward, there is only one way to go, which is to go down the well! However, compared to the meeting, I admire his courage more. If it were me, even if I knew how to go next, I wouldn't go down. Damn, it was so dark that it was so dark that it was not clear. I didn't know what was underneath, but I felt so sneering!
Uncle Li looked dark and happy, nodded: "Well, you can go down and take a look, be careful."
Qianzi nodded heavily, then took out the rope from his backpack, changed into a diving wetsuit, tied one end to his waist, and handed it to several friends on the other end. After everything was done, we climbed down the well wall without hesitation, and we shone the way for him with flashlights. Perhaps because the well wall was covered with water for a long time, there was a layer of algae on it, which was very slippery, and the skin always seemed to stumble along the way.
Under the eyes of everyone, the skin fell down for fifteen or sixteen meters, and the ropes in the hands of several guys continued to be placed. But at this moment, a white thing suddenly appeared at the bottom of the well, which was originally pitch black! Before I could see clearly, the skin below heard the skin beneath shouting like a zombie: "Pull me up! Hurry! Hurry!!! Oh my god!"
When I heard the movement, several guys pulled the rope hard. The distance between more than ten meters, the skin reached the wellhead in the blink of an eye. My third brother and I reached out to pull him up. This time, I was very scary. When I came up, my face turned pale and there was no blood. I was like a nerve, and I kept muttering: "There is something below and something below, it is very scary! Very scary!"
I also saw the thing below. Although I didn't see it clearly, it shouldn't be a beautiful thing. Standing at this bottomless wellhead, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Uncle Li and Brother Chai pulled the skin aside. I was afraid that the thing would jump out of it, so I stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. I looked up and saw the "卍" character behind the statues. This was not very tight, and I was so scared that I shivered. I didn't know when the words behind actually turned themselves up!
"Look at those symbols, turn, turn!" I pointed to the huge "卍" character of the statue, and even spoke a little unscrupulously.
"Oh, it's really moving!" "Damn! Why can you turn around?" "There are ghosts! There are ghosts!" "Oh my god, it's moving faster and faster!" "Second Master, we're meeting ghosts!" "..." The entire tomb room was in chaos for a moment.
"Shut up!" This is the first time I saw Uncle Li get angry, and his old face is dark and long at this moment. With just this sentence, everyone calmed down. Then he said to Brother Chai: "Brother Chai, look, is this a witchcraft?"
Brother Chai immediately shook his head and said, "All the rooms where the Gu were placed were very clean, not even spider webs. This tomb room was obviously not so clean. Second Master, although there were many Gu in this ancient tomb, it was not one step at a time. So, you can rest assured."
Uncle Li shook his head and murmured, "If it weren't for the witchcraft, then that would be strange. These words were still still just now, why did they turn around now?" While saying that, he slowly walked behind the statue.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, could it be that there is really a ghost?! I am not a materialist. If someone says I see a ghost, I will never doubt it. There is an old saying in the tomb robbers that robbers do not believe in ghosts, and believe in ghosts but not to rob them! I don't know if the robbers in history are materialists, but this ancient tomb is simply a ghost nest to me, although I have never seen a ghost hair until now.
The third brother followed Uncle Li and said it was strange. After the two of them walked over, the word stopped, but when they looked over, they always felt that it was still turning.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, just like a plague, fear will spread, and it will spread very quickly!
With a "bang!", the third brother suddenly slapped on the wall: "Who is fucking fucking? Besides, there is a ghost, I will throw you into the well just now!"
Uncle Li touched for a while, walked to another statue, looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said earnestly: "Do our business, we believe in everything, but there are only those who believe in ghosts. If you still want to follow me, don't let me hear the word "there are ghosts." Otherwise, don't blame me for taking your tongue!" Finally, he sighed and said: "These words are actually not turned, they are your hallucinations. If you are nervous and afraid, you are most likely to have hallucinations!"
Uncle Li's words calmed everyone again. No matter whether they believed it or not, it was difficult for me to accept it. How can people have hallucinations, they would not let the still things move! Moreover, it would not make everyone have hallucinations? After thinking about it, the thing that I feared the most slowly grew in my heart. Except for ghosts, there were almost no other possibilities. Of course, I dare not say this idea.
I used a flashlight to illuminate the corridor where I came. It was so dark that I couldn't see it. I was vaguely expecting to see something strange, but nothing happened. I turned to look at the statues and couldn't help but be stunned. I don't know if I didn't pay attention or what, but the eyes of the statues were all closed now! Although the man has not visited many temples, he has never seen any statues with eyes closed. Just imagine, the statues are gods worshipped by people. If they don't even open their eyes, they still expect him to distinguish between good and evil?
"Stop looking!" Uncle Li shouted to the friends: "You guys, smash the statue of God down for me. I want to see what's underneath!"
A guy who was ordered asked blankly, "Er, Er, Master, do you really want to smash it, smash it, smash it down?"
"Nonsense!" The third brother yelled: "A broken stone statue, is it different if it has a head or not! Move quickly, fuck!" I always feel something is wrong when I smash the head of the statue in the ancient tomb. If I can't do it well, something might happen to his grandmother!
