Something suddenly jumped up on the lake.
Although we were on guard in the "assault boat", we did not expect to encounter such a situation.
We all held on to the "engineer shovel" and raised the flashlight at the same time.
Several beams of light swept through the air.
I looked up with everyone and saw that everything had disappeared.
When I saw it, I was really surprised and surprised.
I opened my mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
I was so shocked that I jumped out of the lake.
That thing that's four to five meters long is a " "Fish", it is a common phenomenon for fish to jump out of the water, but this fish is not alive, but a dead fish about three meters long.
This big fish has begun to rot, the fishy smell is overwhelming, and there are several big holes in the belly of the fish. , and even half of the fish head was missing.
The skull was exposed in white.
The strange thing is that after the dead fish carcass left the water, it actually stagnated in mid-air.
Everyone was surprised and confused.
At this time, the two lacquer coffins floated along the water and got a little closer.
Only then could they see more clearly.
On the dead fish, It was covered with countless extremely large black flies.
The black flies were as big as fingernails.
They were all clinging to the dead fish.
After being frightened, they jumped out of the water wrapped in the fish carcass.
They formed a noisy mess and persisted.
The rotten air accumulates on the body of the black fly on the earth.
It contains a lot of phosphorus, and it flies like a dim and weak firefly, and like thousands of ghost eyes that flicker and flicker.
This kind of black fly has the scientific name "giant corpse fly".
Although the name contains the word "fly", it is actually a kind of "corpse insect".
It likes to eat carrion.
Corpse flies can also be found on burial mounds, but this creature has special habits and never touches living creatures, so it does not pose any threat to living people.
When I was in Panjiayuan.
I once heard an anecdote about corpse bugs.
It was said that before liberation, there was a private thief called Ma Wuzi.
The jewelry and silver coins from the burial were exchanged for some food and drink, but he never made a fortune, so his life was barely enough.
Until one day, Ma Wuzi was digging a grave in a mass burial ridge and accidentally found a tomb from the Song Dynasty, which contained many valuable things.
Ma Wuzi has lived for more than thirty years and has never seen so many exposed weapons.
He alone could not carry them all.
He knew that if outsiders found out about this, it would definitely cause trouble, so he took away a few of the most valuable ones.
The gold, jewels, and jade, and the rest of the items were left intact, and I planned to dig out them again when money is tight in the future.
Before leaving, he suddenly saw a corpse insect emerging from the crack of the coffin.
Ma Wuzi pinched the corpse insect casually.
At that time, some strange combination of circumstances and I don't know what he was thinking.
He took out a piece of oil paper from his arms.
This oil paper was He used it to wrap pig head meat, so he used it to wrap the corpse worm and stuff it into the cracks in the bricks of the tomb.
He probably wanted to suffocate the corpse worm to death.
Then Ma Wuzi covered the robbery hole and returned to the town to exchange the artifact for money.
The man who bought a house lived a wealthy life, married a wife and had children.
When Ma Wuzi's son was a teenager, both father and son became addicted to gambling.
As the saying goes, "If you bet for a long time, you will lose with the gods", let alone two ordinary people like him.

Winning or losing in gambling is like filling a well with snow.
There are no more days of dissatisfaction, but the addiction is endless.
After losing so much that he lost his soul and everything, Ma Wuzi saw that only four walls of his home were left.
Recalling that there were many treasures in the ancient tomb that he had stolen before, he took his son to steal them again.
The two of them found their way into the ancient tomb.
Ma Wuzi suddenly remembered that he had wrapped a corpse insect and hid it in the ancient tomb more than ten years ago.
I didn't know if it was dusty now, so I searched for it from the original place.
I found it.
The oil paper package was intact.
I opened it and took a look.
The corpse worm was withered and shriveled, almost turning into pieces of paper.
But the insect's limbs and whiskers still seemed to be lifelike.
He and his son became curious and took a closer look at them, but they forgot the taboo of robbing a cemetery.
A living person would not wait to breathe on the dead thing, and the Yang Qi would touch it.
The corpse bug suddenly came to life and bit Ma Wuzi's finger.
Ma Wuzi was foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over his body.
When his son carried him home, he died before he could call a doctor for treatment.
It is said that Ma Wuzi's descendants later made a living in Beijing.
I worked as a waiter for Mr.
Qiao from Liulichang.
This incident was mentioned by him personally.
Many people in Panjiayuan and Liulichang, the two major "literary and entertainment" centers, have heard of it, but everyone said this.
It's fake.
Not many people believe it.
It's just for fun after dinner.
But I think this thing is more real.
If you have not experienced it personally, you will definitely not be able to talk about "undersea eyes".
Corpse worms and corpse wax are all products found in tombs.
Only those who are proficient in Feng Shui changes know the secrets.
At that time, in Baiyan Cave Here, I was almost killed by a zombie Bite to death, but there are many kinds of corpse bugs, such as "corpse lice, corpse flies" and other things.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see corpse bugs near the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb".
I just don't know what Ma Wuzi encountered back then.
What kind of corpse worm is it?
Various corpse worms have different habits, and some of them can bite corpses.
Some eat living creatures.
In this mass grave before us.
Although there was a gathering of insects and rats, I did not expect that the dead fish floating on the lake would be eaten by corpse insects, causing a false alarm out of thin air.
At this time, I saw the dead fish above my head shaking violently, and a large group of "corpse-eating flies" "Fleeing away in a hurry, half of the rotten fish fell into the water next to the lacquered coffin, causing a large splash of water with a "crash".
The fat man swore a few words and waved the shovel to stir up the water, driving away the corpse flies that were still in the air.
He exerted such force that the coffin beneath him shook wildly.
Professor Sun is a landlubber and is most afraid of water.
His face suddenly changed color with fear.
He quickly grabbed the lock ring on the lacquered coffin to steady his center of gravity and shouted: "Slow down, slow down, the coffin will be overturned by you."
The fat man turned around with a look of disdain on his face and said, "Looking at how scared you are, you must not dare to eat wontons, but don't worry, Master Jiu.
If you bump into a ghost on the water, the fat man will bring you flat noodles."

Greeting you."
I noticed that the water flow in the lower lake was different, so I quickly reminded them to stop being boring.
Pay attention to the rapids ahead.
As soon as I finished speaking, the red lacquer coffin that was temporarily used as an "assault boat" was hit by the current and began to lose control.
The fat man looked at a cold firework thrown in the air, and saw a cliff at the end of Xiajishui Lake.
There were springs on the stone wall, scattered at high and low places.
There was an old dragon with a horned head carved at the mouth of two large springs. , there are two small white waterfalls pouring down from the faucet, just like two dragons coming out of the water.
A strange building similar to a tower was revealed between the two water dragons.
It was carved with hundreds of animals and birds.
Those rare birds and animals were not common in the human world.
It is full of mystery in the style of the ancient Wuxie Kingdom.
I thought: "This is the tomb gate of the Wuyang King Ancient Cemetery."
There are several stone gates under the towering city gate, and the cave walls are lined with huge bricks, which look very much like the figurine passages in tombs.
The tomb gate is divided into three levels.
The bottom row of gates has been more than half submerged by the lake water.
The water is flowing out quickly.
As soon as the lacquer coffin floating on the water approached, it was swept in by the rushing water. .
I knew very well that Sun Jiuye and Yao Meier did not know the nature of water.
If they fell into the dark and cold lake, they might not be able to be saved.
In addition, the red lacquer coffin was not a real boat.
It would tip over if it tilted even slightly.
It was absolutely impossible to expect the coffin to float into the cave with the current, and then just blow a whistle and call for everyone to abandon the ship and go ashore.
But at this moment, the lacquer coffins were driven by the rapids on the lake, and the drifting speed accelerated in an instant.
I could feel the wind whistling by my ears.
The two lacquer coffins turned around on the water, collided with each other, and crowded into the cave under the platform.
Everyone wanted to dive into the water to escape, but it was too late.
They had no choice but to regard their lives as if they were picked up for free, and they leaned on the coffin lid and resigned themselves to fate.
Amidst the exclamations, the red lacquer coffin rushed down the tomb passage for more than 20 meters.
In the dark and wide figurine passage, I could not see clearly what was going on around me.
I could hear the roar of the water in front of me. tomb passage The middle section has been soaked in water all year round, and has completely sunk.
A large hole collapsed in the middle, and the water flow penetrated the lower tomb chamber.
If the coffin and the people were swept down by the lake water, they would probably not survive.
This thought flashed across my mind, and I didn’t dare to hesitate anymore.
I called Sun Jiuye and Yao Meier and asked them to get ready to jump from the coffin into the water.
At this time, Shiry Yang behind me had already thrown out the "Flying Tiger Claw" and hung it on the coffin.
We stood on the stone at the top of the tomb passage, and she hugged me from behind.
As soon as our feet were loosened, the lacquered coffin was immediately swept into the dark depths of the tomb passage by the current.
The water in the tomb passage was waist-deep.
Shiry Yang and I dug our hands into the cracks of the tomb bricks with our flying tiger claws, and hurriedly turned around to grab Professor Sun.
At this time, another lacquered coffin was floating past.
Unexpectedly, the surging water came too fast, and I caught nothing.
The three people didn't have time to reach out their hands, and they leaned on the lacquer coffin and passed me suddenly.
Shiry Yang and I yelled in unison, before we could finish our words.
The three of them followed.
In the cave that collapsed in the middle of the road.

My vision went dark, thinking that it was probably broken this time, so I shouted the names of Fatty and others.
I only heard the roar of water in my ears.
Even if someone answered, they were all covered up.
I panicked for a while, and then calmed down. , knowing that there is no point in getting angry at this moment, the only choice is to go down quickly to find survivors.
I held up a flashlight and looked around.
I guessed that the tomb door in front of the lake had entered the coffin hall of the tomb of the "Yishan Wuling King".
The main hall and coffin rooms were all inside the lower building.
This ancient tomb is constructed in a master-slave overlapping pattern.
In front of the three-story coffin hall.
There should be a closed stone tomb passage.
We entered from the mass grave cave under that tomb passage and "entered the house" directly, but there is no trace of the "Dixian Village" here.
Searching and rescuing our companions is a top priority right now, and we don’t care about where the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" is hidden for the time being.
Shiry Yang and I climbed up the tomb wall and waded forward, and saw that there were small and empty caves on both sides of the tomb passage. .
Only incomplete murals were left on the tomb walls.
What you saw was a desolate scene after being raided by a large group of tomb robbers.
The figurine passages inside the ancient tomb were crisscrossed, and there were many collapses in the longitudinal tomb passages.
This situation is also a big flaw in the master-slave laminated mausoleum.
Therefore, the laminated layout was no longer used after the Tang Dynasty.
Because the current in the tomb passage was too strong, it was impossible to stand.
We had to go around from the side room, and finally reached the collapse in the middle of the tomb passage from the other side.
The floor was mixed with bricks and mud, revealing a sinkhole several meters in diameter.
It looked like a robber tunnel hundreds of years ago.
The collapse of the cave was probably caused by the Guanshan Taibao robbing the cave from the bottom, bypassing the tomb wall and fighting upside down.
The cave gradually collapsed and became flooded.
There is another level of tomb chamber under the robbery hole, with brick walls inside.
Confused, I took another picture.
I saw that the tomb on the ground floor was half flooded with black water, and the soil at the bottom of the ancient tomb was not dense.
The water that was poured down seeped into the bottom.
Suddenly I saw a beam of light shaking on the water in the corner of the tomb.
I took a closer look and saw that it was the fat man looking around with a flashlight.
Seeing that he was fine, I put my worries down and called to him: "Commander Wang, are you okay?
Where are Sun Jiuye and Yao Mei'er?"
But the sound of falling into the water was so noisy that I couldn't even hear myself.
Talking about something.
Seeing how deep the water is in the tomb below, I looked for a place where the water flow was not strong.
Shiry Yang and Shiry Yang climbed down on the "Flying Tiger Claw" one after the other.
I touched the fat man's side.
Seeing that he was knocked unconscious from the fall and had a few bruises on his body, but he had a mountaineering helmet on his head and leather protective gear on his shoulders, elbows and knees, so he was fine if he fell into the water, so he asked what he had said before again.
The fat man shook his head vigorously and said: "Damn it, why are all the stars in front of me?
The water in the tomb passage was too fast just now.
Fatty, I was planning to jump off the coffin.
But that old guy Sun Jiuye is afraid of water and almost I was so scared that I wet my pants and wouldn’t let go.
As a result, he pulled so hard that the fat man almost knocked his head back into the cavity.
Yao Meier and Jiu Ye seemed to have fallen into the water and did not dare to let go of the coffin.
If they were not in this tomb, then It must have followed the lacquered coffin and drifted into the nearby tomb passage."

I saw that Fatty was fine, and I guess Sun Jiuye and Yao Meier wouldn't have any major accidents either.
However, I felt that something was not right inside this ancient tomb.
There was an indescribable strange atmosphere in the empty and cold atmosphere.
The remaining people must be found as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
There are door openings on all sides of the water-logged tomb, and there is a strange mural painted on the wall of one of the tombs.
It shows a fat woman with an expressionless face, holding a skinny old man the size of a baby's fist in her hand.
In a hurry, it was difficult to figure out what legend was depicted in the mural.
I just felt that it was particularly strange.
An unintentional glance made me feel uncomfortable all over, and I had to avoid looking away as much as possible.
On the tomb wall with murals, the largest arched tomb door suddenly opened.
One meter of water slowly surged into the door.
After the lacquered coffin fell into the water, it was very likely that it would drift into the tomb passage behind the door because there were several other gaps around it.
They were all relatively narrow.
We shouted several times in front of the tomb door.
When no one answered for a while, we turned on the spotlights on our helmets, each took out our self-defense equipment, and waded in through the water.
The tomb passage is flooded all year round.
There are obvious water lines on the brick walls, which are covered with thick dark green moss.
The humidity in the dark air is gloomy, and the visibility of the lighting spotlights is extremely low.
I left the sinkhole and moved forward.
It's far away, and the end of the tomb passage is still not visible.
The unique structure of the laminated ancient tomb and the veins of Feng Shui allow the sound in the ancient tomb to be transmitted from bottom to top along with the ground energy.
In the dark and cold tomb passage.
I could no longer hear the sound from the sinkhole in the tomb behind me.
I could only hear the soft sound of water flowing, and the surroundings were even more frightening.
I was worried about Master Sun Jiu's safety, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
I was about to call out to the missing person again.
Name, suddenly I saw another peeling and incomplete mural on the top of the tomb passage, nearly one meter above my head.
Similar to the style in the tomb chamber, it depicts a woman with an expression like a wood carving and clay sculpture.
She opens her cherry mouth and sticks out her tongue.
On her bright red tongue sits an old man cross-legged.
The old man looks like a ghost.
It's just that the body is as small as a walnut.
In the tomb passage covered with moss and sewage, this mural seemed particularly awkward.
I looked at it with cold eyes and was really surprised.
The fat man walking in the front also said: "Old Hu, let me see why this mural is like this."
Looks familiar.
If my commander remembers correctly, we seemed to have met in Longling, Shaanxi.
At that time, you said that only the Tang Dynasty had such a fat wife."
I feel the same way.
He nodded and kept walking.
As he walked, he asked Shiry Yang next to him if he thought the mural was very evil.
No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a noble lady from the Tang Dynasty.
Shiry Yang said: "It's very evil.
The colors of the mural are like new.
The woman is dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes, and the old man on her tongue looks like a devil."

Shiry Yang said that these murals should be from the Tang Dynasty, and they appear to be incompatible with the historical background of the "Tang Dynasty".
They must have been stolen from other ancient tombs by Dixian Fengshigu, but they did not know the intention of hiding them at the bottom of the ancient tomb.
Why should we beware of "traps" in this tomb passage?
I heard Shiry Yang mention that the figures in the murals were like "devils", but this Westernized name had no concrete image in my mind.
But I actually felt that this word was perfectly suitable to describe the "old man" on the tip of the Tang Dynasty noble lady's tongue.
The skinny old man had pointed ears and a hideous face, like a ghost crawling out of the eighteenth level of hell
