Three days later, the test report came out.
That strange fish is a variant of the giant salamander.
The normal giant fish is very passive and waits to catch its prey because their eyesight is very limited.
However, the strange fish is very active in hunting prey.
The first batch of soldiers who went down were attacked by this animal, but besides this animal, there should be other things.
Because one of the second batch of soldiers who went down was instantly sucked into a mummy.
That thing was probably the black shadow I saw.
Those soldiers were indeed killed by this kind of fish and eaten cleanly.
As for the toxins on the bones, they came from the water.
After the bones were soaked in the water, the toxins entered the bones, so the bones turned black.
And that shiny thing is really a salt crystal, but this salt crystal has been detected to contain heavy metals and the chemical toxin arsenic.
If a person eats it in excess, or in small amounts for a long time, over time, people will die.
Arsenic is also a toxic element in bones and water.
The person in charge, Lao Chen, also tested the bones in the mass graves.
The toxin in the bones was also arsenic.
The report said that the people in the mass graves may have eaten this toxic salt for a long time, and finally died of chronic poisoning.
Upon hearing this report, my brother and I suddenly realized that we could also guess the origin of this mass grave.
There should be a salt mine in this mountain, so it attracted so many people, even in the case of Baihusha, I don’t want to move away just because this mountain produces salt.
In ancient times, salt was hard currency and a strategic item controlled by the government.
Anyone who smuggled salt would be beheaded.
In ancient times of war and chaos, guarding a salt mine was equivalent to guarding a gold mine.
However, ancient science was not developed.
This kind of salt crystal is poisonous.
If you eat it for a day or two, you will not die, but it will take months or even years.
After that, too much toxin is deposited, and there are patches of dead people.
The ancients invited Taoist priests.
The Taoists thought it was the White Tiger Evil, so they built such an altar in the hope of defeating the White Tiger Evil.
But one thing I can’t figure out is that this altar is built on the Feng Shui eyes.
This Feng Shui jar should also be arranged by a Taoist priest.
Does this Taoist know about the dirty things under the Feng Shui eyes?
The answer is yes.
The Taoist priests must have known about this dirty thing, but they may not have been able to contain it, so they could only suppress it with the altar.
However, the mass grave was discovered and the altar was broken.
It seems that this thing has come to light again.
After the report came out, the excavation work has made great progress.
At least we know the origin of the mass graves, and we also know that there may be a salt mine under the Smoky Stone Mountain.
What's strange is that we have been drinking mountain spring water in Wucun for several years, and we haven't seen any arsenic poisoning.
Could it be that the spring doesn't go through the mine?
If that's the case, that would be lucky.
Lao Chen invited my brother and I to the mountain again.
He was going to fall into Feng Shui again.
This time he was very well prepared.
Each person was given a set of waterproof suits, gas masks, body armor and oxygen bottles.
In short, this time he was armed to the teeth.
According to Lao Chen's intention, this time he wanted to cross the pool and see what was behind the pool.

With the experience from the last time, we quickly arrived at the waterhole this time.
Perhaps Lao Chen had made arrangements in advance, so the two soldiers dived directly into the water.
The water at this moment was already filthy black and gray, and even though he was wearing a gas mask, he could still smell the stench.
After I closed my eyes and sensed it, I found that the dark ink-like light on the other side of the pool was no longer there, only a gray one.
Everyone dived into the water one by one.
My brother asked me to go there first.
I have good water skills and often go fishing in the river with Ergou and the others.
It's just that the water in the pool is extremely turbid.
No, it should be called filthy.
It makes me feel sick just thinking about it.
Although I had an oxygen tank, I still held my breath as much as possible when I went down, and tried not to breathe as much as possible.
After entering the water, the surrounding water pressure increased sharply, and the biting cold hit me instantly.
A cold air spread all over my body from my collarbone, which I really felt.
Then the pressure and cold all over the body were offset, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.
After swimming about ten meters in, I saw that the light above my head was much brighter, so I slowly ascended.
But as soon as I emerged from the water, my head hit something hard, like a stone.
I looked up and saw a yellow thing.
It didn't look like a stone, but it was huge.
I turned around and saw that my brother and the others had also surfaced.
The entire area of ten square meters was covered by this thing.
With.
"It looks like the bottom of a turtle's shell," my brother said loudly to the others.
My grandfather had a tortoise shell, and he would stuff copper coins into the tortoise shell when he was doing fortune-telling.
I used to play with the tortoise shell when I was a kid.
The thing I am holding on my head now seems to be the bottom of the tortoise shell, but it is too big.
It was so big that I couldn't believe it.
I turned on the flashlight and looked up at the tortoise shell.
I saw that the bottom of the tortoise shell was densely engraved with Taoist runes.
I didn't know much about these, but my brother did.
"The Heavenly Master's Five Thunder Spells to Suppress Demons, San Mao Zhenjun's Exorcist Talisman, and the Three Pure Earth Fire Spells to Sealing Demons."
My brother looked over one by one with a flashlight, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
"There is an exit here."
Old Chen's voice came from the side.
We swam over, and there was a fifty-centimeter gap between the turtle shell and the edge of the pit.
Lao Chen and others had climbed out, and then pulled my brother and I out.
When we stood firm, we were completely dumbfounded.
In front of us was a huge turtle, lying straight on the pool.
The turtle's huge body directly sealed the entrance of the pool, leaving only a slight gap on the edge.
The turtle was locked with chains all around, and the chains extended all the way up.
We took a flashlight and looked up.
The dark area was a huge wellhead.
The turtle carries a stone tablet on its back.
The content of the stone tablet is: Divine Beast Zhendong, if you don’t move, I won’t move.
It's just that the turtle is dead.
There are cuts on the turtle's limbs and a wound on the head.

It seems to be a fatal injury.
It was drained of blood and died.
My brother and I looked at each other dumbfounded.
This was the mythical turtle locked at the bottom of the ancient well.
It was fine before, but why was it killed now?
Judging from the degree of decomposition of the body, it must have been dead for no more than ten days.
Because it was chained, the turtle had no chance of fighting back.
There were deep marks on the ground made by claws.
It was obvious that the turtle struggled before it died.
In the slits of the turtle's tightly closed eyes, I actually saw traces of tears.
It was obvious that the turtle had cried.
"Who did this?"
my brother yelled like crazy.
I can understand my brother's mood at this moment.
Everything in the world has a spirit, let alone this kind of spirit turtle that has survived for hundreds of years.
It has been locked here for hundreds of years, guarding the Black Smoke Stone Mountain, but now it has been killed. , who is so cruel that he would kill such a spiritual creature?
Lao Chen patted my brother on the shoulder, comforted him, and then asked: "Do you know this turtle?"
My brother was so angry that he couldn't speak, so I told him about Wu Xiaoyue's use of a DVD camera to take pictures of turtles at the bottom of a well, and he nodded and said that he hadn't had time to read the information yet.
"The bottom of the divine turtle is engraved with various exorcism and suppression talismans, and the stone tablet is also engraved with Taoist talismans.
I'm afraid this means that the divine turtle is not just blessing Qinglong Mountain to suppress the White Tiger Evil."
My brother sighed He took a breath and said: "From the turtle to the altar, there are strong seals on both ends.
Obviously, the two ends are blocked to seal the water channel in the middle.
There must be something terrible in this water channel.
It should not be just the Feng Shui monster.
Fish should still be scary.”
"It should be the black light I saw."
I took a deep breath and said, "That day I sensed the black light moving around the turtle, but I can't sense it now.
Apparently that thing has run out, I'm afraid The consequences are disastrous.”
"We have to get out quickly and let people outside be more alert, otherwise something will happen."
My brother turned around and looked around.
There was only a mine tunnel in the middle, which should be the only exit.
Before leaving, my brother plopped down and knelt down towards the Divine Turtle.
I knelt down too, and then Lao Chen and others also knelt down.
After bowing three times, my brother said: "God Turtle" After guarding here for hundreds of years, the blood must have been drained in the end.
Those strange fish were killed by the blood of the turtle, so please accept these three bows and wait for me to deal with the crisis outside, and then I will deal with the aftermath for you. " Then a group of us headed towards the exit.
When we first arrived at the exit, we found a series of footprints on the ground.
My brother squatted down.
There were two types of footprints, one big and one small.
The big one should be forty.
Two or forty-three, the younger one should be around thirty-five or six.
Lao Chen asked someone to dip two pieces of A4 paper in water, then print on the footprints, copy the footprints, and put them away.
Then we entered the mine tunnel.
There were many wooden shelves in the mine tunnel, but they were all decayed over time.
There are still many tools left around the mine, but the mining shovels are all rusty and the handles have rotted away.
There are many shining light spots on the wall of the pit, which should be salt crystals.

This is indeed a salt mine.
The mine tunnels were complicated and had many intersections, so we followed the direction of the footprints.
After chasing for about two hours, we finally found the exit.
The exit turned out to be on the edge of a cliff, but there were ivy around it, and there was a cement road at the bottom of the cliff.
There were also footprints on the cement road.
It was obvious that the man went down the ivy and then escaped.
We also followed the ivy down the road.
This cement road connected several natural villages.
These villages jointly built it, including our Shangwu Village and Xiaguan Village.
Because this road used to be very dilapidated, but after a few The villages must pass through this section of road to communicate with each other, so several villages discussed and raised funds to build this road.
After arriving at the cement road, we followed the footprints for a long time, but halfway along the road, the footprints disappeared and there were no traces of trampling around.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
After taking off his gas mask, Old Chen frowned and said, "It's getting late.
Let's go back to Shangwucun first."
Everyone nodded, and then we led the way to Shangwucun
