I can't play this game

But because the feet of these corpses are all tied with chains, even though they are floating in the water, they will not leave the building.

Ji Hanxin said, all of them still have their eyes open, it really doesn't look like they were thrown into the water after death, but rather like they were drowned alive.

Did these people all die from some kind of waterboarding?

I have read that there is a punishment called "cement shoes" in Europe, which is specially targeted at enemies and traitors.

Put the prisoner's feet in the empty basin, and then pour the cement. When the cement dries, heavy cement blocks will form on the prisoner's feet. Drown alive.

It is really hard to think about drowning individuals in foreign countries, or the ancient pig cages in our country are simple and clear.

But if it is for drowning, it is enough to tie a heavy object, and it is really unnecessary to be locked at the bottom of the water.

What is the purpose of locking these people here?

The four of them observed around to make sure there were no traps before continuing to swim forward.

Before entering the main hall of the temple, everyone was attracted by a well platform in the corner.

It was a shaft about two meters wide.

The four swam over and looked into the well, but there was nothing in the well except bottomless darkness.

It really fits that sentence:

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss is embarrassed.

Eggplant made a gesture of spreading his hands towards everyone, as if to say:

"Grass, I don't understand."

Ji Han could also explain what he meant, after all, it was quite weird to see a well in an underwater courtyard.

Eh?If there is a well here, doesn't it mean that there was no water here before?If there was water here before, it would have been a fucking well.

However, in the video of the Pre-Qin Nine Star Mirror, it clearly shows that there was water here thousands of years ago.

Unless it was in ancient times that some people built houses in the water and dug deep wells.

Isn't that sick? Could it be the mansion of the Dragon King?The dry sea dragon king in the desert?

I can't figure it out, but now is not the time to communicate, Ji Han can only keep his doubts first, and then go up and talk.

Just when Ji Han was about to leave, when he looked up, he saw everyone's hair floating straight up.

After discovering something, Ji Han suddenly reached out to stop the three of them, and then asked everyone to look at him.

Then Ji Han fell half of his body to the mouth of the well, and as expected, his hair fluttered towards the mouth of the well.

The three of them also instantly understood what Ji Han meant:

The well is actually flowing out.

Although the water flow is very weak and the body can hardly feel it, it can still be judged by the movement of the hair.

But this can only be written down first, and it is not a major discovery. The four of them continued to swim towards the main room in the courtyard.

Most of the walls here are rotted and fallen off, and the wooden doors and windows have basically been destroyed.

The stone platform in front of the main hall is also empty, not even a Buddha statue.

Ji Hanxin said that this temple is too stingy, it didn't even make a Buddha statue, so what is it used to suppress ghosts?

What else is it called the Ghost Town Temple, or the Ghost Inn.

Not only are there no clues, even the objects recording the construction of the temple do not exist.

This is indeed a bit strange. It stands to reason that the temples built will boast a wave of construction history or something. There is nothing here except a landmark.

The four of them came out of the main room and were about to swim to the side courtyard.

This time, Eggplant first swam up to check the situation, but just after going up, he swam down again and stopped everyone.

Everyone didn't understand what he was doing, so Eggplant turned on his fluorescent board and wrote two words crookedly:

"bright!"

He also pointed to the side courtyard.

At this time, everyone was more surprised than scared. Is there a light at the bottom of the water?

Is there anyone else besides us?

Or a fish that glows underwater?I remember that there is a kind of venomous snake fish, which uses its glowing tentacles in the water to attract other prey to take the bait, and then swallow it in one gulp.

But it's a deep-sea fish, and there are no fish in this place.

The four of them looked at each other, and Eggplant signaled himself to go and have a look first, and then slowly swam to the gate of the side courtyard.

He looked inside for a while, and after confirming something, he raised his hand to signal everyone to come over.

Through the gate of the courtyard, Ji Han saw a big bell on the ground in the center of the courtyard.

What's even more amazing is that a faint white light leaked out from the gap under the big clock.

It's like having a light bulb stuck in it.

Everyone was also surprised, but they did not act rashly. After observing for a while, they saw that the big clock did not respond.

The four of them cautiously swam towards the big clock.

Taking a closer look, this clock is nearly a person's height, and the pattern on it has been mottled, and there is a lot of green patina, which can be seen for a long time.

Shouldn't all temple bells be hung up?

What's the purpose of holding it like this?Is it used as a grill for hanging oven roast duck?

And there is white light flashing below, is there something luminous behind it?

In short, the copper bell with a history of thousands of years is buckled underwater. After turning it over, it can't be a flashlight, right?

At this time, Eggplant wanted to reach out and push the copper bell.

After all, there are so many people underwater, it should be possible to push them away.

Just when Ji Han was hesitating whether it was appropriate to push the clock away, he looked up and saw a familiar red letter on the top of the eggplant's head:

Dangerous!

Ji Han hastily pulled out the end of the harpoon to block the eggplant.

Shaking his head desperately, motioned everyone not to approach.

Eggplant almost pushed it, but fortunately, Ji Han stopped it in time.

Although it felt a little inexplicable, Eggplant still listened to persuasion, and he also believed that he must have discovered something to stop himself.

Since Ji Han didn't allow everyone to open it, everyone had to observe carefully around the bronze bell and then continue to check other places.

After searching back and forth for half an hour, there was really nothing worth investigating.

This almost collapsed Ghost Town Temple was empty inside and out.

Apart from the 20 odd corpses strapped to the building, there is nothing of value.

Also didn't find any areas to explore further, no passages, no hidden doors.

According to the prompt in the Pre-Qin Nine Stars Mirror, there should be a passage or a door for everyone to enter the next area.

But I searched twice before and after, but nothing was found.

Helpless, everyone had to float up to Crescent Moon Spring temporarily, communicate and summarize the existing information first, and then come down to explore.

The four of them surfaced one by one.

As soon as Eggplant came out, he scolded:

"Damn it, I can't talk and suffocate me to death. How can this be a temple? It's obviously a morgue."

Chapter 111 I quit!

Eggplant is right, this temple is indeed very different from what I have seen before.

Not only are there no Buddha statues, but strange corpses are tied up everywhere.

Chen Ke panted heavily and said:

"Hey, damn it scared me to death. Why don't those corpses decompose? I thought it would be a scam."

Song Qian also added:

"It seems that it is not so easy to enter the space indicated by the bronze mirror."

The four took off their diving suits, sat on the sand, wrapped in self-heating blankets, and summarized the underwater situation just now.

Chen Ke roughly drew the sketch below, and also confirmed the distance according to the positioning system on his body.

Everyone marked several suspicious places.

Including bronze bells, wells, main halls, and those strange corpses locked in chains.

First of all, this whole ancient temple. Judging from the time when the temples were introduced into my country in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the construction of the temple here must have been much later than that of the ancient mirror.

And looking at many places in the temple, there are differences between the two buildings.

Ji Han speculated that the temple was later rebuilt on the original building.

Eggplant had the same question as Ji Han:

"It's enough nonsense to have a house under the water. And convert the house into a temple, what a waste of time."

Song Qian reminded:

"It doesn't have to be built in water, because although the Nine Stars Mirror in the pre-Qin period showed that there was water at that time, there is also water here now, but we can't guarantee whether there is no water in the middle."

Everyone nodded in agreement that this possibility does exist at present.

Chen Ke asked:

"What happened to the corpse in the water? Why is it still locked?"

Ji Han shook his head, expressing that he couldn't understand.

However, he also told everyone about the punishment of Shenhu murder that he knew, and told everyone:

"Those corpses should not be moved as much as possible. Since they are chained, it means that they were once in danger."

And Ji Hanxin said that this game will not have a few corpses for decoration, right?

Speaking of danger, Qiezi suddenly remembered the bronze bell and asked:

"Hey, Ji Han, did you find anything when you stopped me from pushing the bronze bell just now?"

Ji Han explained:

"It's not that there is anything discovered? It's just that I heard that the bronze bells of some temples will be buckled with unclean things, and they will be buckled with the bell in order to seal or suppress it, so it's better not to open it easily."

Reminiscent of the name Zhengui Temple, everyone thinks it makes sense.

Song Qian concluded:

"Then the next difficulty is to find the entrance to the next area. According to the guidance of the Pre-Qin Nine Stars Mirror, you should be able to enter a certain Grand Canyon-like area through the buildings in the water."

However, after looking around, I didn't find any entrance.

Ji Han thought for a while and said:

"If there is a hidden entrance, the only possibility is the copper bell or the shaft in the courtyard."

Chen Ke remembered the shaft and said:

"Didn't that well flow out? How could it be the entrance?"

When Eggplant heard it, he thought it was reliable, and explained to Chen Ke:

"Hey, Chen Ke, don't you believe it, many things are upstream. For example, when I was performing tasks in the rainforest, I needed to hide in disguise, and when I slept in the swamp, I needed to seal my underwear. You must die, and you must never urinate in waste water or swamps. Because many bugs will go up against the urine and get into places they shouldn't be."

When Chen Ke heard this, he unconsciously tightened his hips.

Ji Han and Song Qian also felt a little uncomfortable, but it was true.

Ji Han added:

"The water flow in the well is very weak. It may be connected to some other water area, or it may be connected to a certain groundwater layer. According to the height of the surrounding area, I think the former is more likely. It is still necessary to go and have a look."

After all, there is no other entrance now, except for the well, the only thing that can be explored is the bronze bell.
