Sacrifice of Grave Robbers

Chapter 14 Another Valley

Chen Yu also turned to look at Feng Han. For the first time, he felt that Feng Han had many secrets that he hadn't discovered besides his terrifying abilities.

Feng Han has already found a suit of clothes that fit him well, and the sky is bright now, the students who didn't see clearly yesterday couldn't look away when they saw Feng Han's appearance.Originally, Chen Yu was eye-catching enough, but Feng Han would unconsciously attract everyone's attention wherever he went.Seeing a group of people staring at him eagerly, Feng Han raised his hand and pointed into the lake: "Just look at it and you'll know."

Following the direction of Feng Han's finger, the stunned people turned their heads and noticed that the color of the lake was not dark because it reflected the cliff walls, but the lake itself was dark black.Even the shallow shore is completely invisible to the next centimeter of the water.The complete, black lake spread quietly in front of them.

The timid girl had already started to back away. Professor Qian walked over strangely, looked at Chen Yu, Ma Wenqing and Feng Han, and put his hands into the water.

The students all looked at Professor Qian nervously, but Professor Qian was surprised.

Feng Han nodded, and said calmly, "Just as you think, the black water can reach around zero at night, and the temperature can rise rapidly during the day, which is about the same temperature as the outside air."

The students were immediately pleasantly surprised, because they had searched carefully, the valley they were in was circular, and there was no way out.And the rock crevices they came out from must never go back.

Professor Qian breathed a sigh of relief, laughed and said, "The location of the treasure shows that it is on the cliff. I am still worried about how we will get there. Now that the temperature of the lake has risen, this problem has been solved."

"Yes, we may be able to find the entrance to the cliff if we climb up from this iron chain." Professor Wang said that although there was a slight injury to his leg, the old man was still very excited to find those cultural treasures.

Chen Yu felt a headache when he thought of the monster on the iron chain and in the bronze altar.But what the two professors said made sense. To go to the cliff, you can only rely on these chains. If you are lucky, you will not reach the height of the bronze altar, and you will have a cave to enter the treasure.

It's easy to say, but when the students entered the lake, many of them hesitated and flinched. The jet-black water seemed to be solid, impenetrable, and endless evil was hidden in the repeated darkness.

Professor Qian frowned and looked at the lake, then turned around and smiled.Said: "Sometimes the danger is not as scary as it looks. I really want to give everyone a chance to choose for themselves, to go or not to go, but unfortunately I can't do it. But I want to say that maybe going together is the only hope to get out. You are all my students, and as a teacher, I will do my best to protect you. Please believe me, if I bring you here, I will definitely take you out."

After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes: "Of course, our warriors, the time has come to show your courage to the girls. Don't you always boast that you are invincible in front of us old bones? Don't you claim to be able to cut through thorns for justice? Going forward bravely, now, God has given you a chance to perform. The beauties will encourage you behind you and watch you silently. After meeting the truth, the girls will give you hugs, for your youth will not stay Sorry, but also for the sake of being able to continue to be accompanied by beauties on the road ahead, let's go, don't look back!" "

Both boys and girls looked at Professor Qian with embarrassment, and Ma Wenqing covered his face and moaned: "Professor Qian, you finally have a dark belly again..."

Professor Qian continued to smile, and arranged for those who were good at swimming to take those who were not good at swimming, and the students got into the water one after another.Originally, I planned to arrange for a student to wait here with Professor Wang.

Professor Wang shook his head and said, "No need, my injury is not too bad to be immobile, and I'm a little better today. Besides, there's obviously no way out from here, maybe I'll find the treasure at the same time." The way out. I'll follow along, and you just have to give me a hand when the time comes."

Chen Yu was still the last one to leave, this time not because he was behind, but because he was a little guilty.Seeing Chen Yu flinching, Ma Wenqing couldn't help but came over to laugh at him, moved to his side, and patted his shoulder vigorously, "Don't worry, little Chen Yu, brother, I have nothing to say about my water skills, we used to swim in the city's campus Contest No.1! Come on, follow Master Ma, you will be fine!"

Chen Yu remembered Ma Wenqing's unusually embarrassing posture yesterday, and immediately asked, "How many people participated in that competition?"

Looking at the suspicious eyes, Ma Wenqing became furious, and dragged Chen Yu into the water.

Feng Han looked at Chen Yu's big bag, picked it up casually, and jumped into the lake after them.

Black water, worthy of its name, is so black that no light can penetrate it, and as long as it enters the water, it cannot be seen at all.From a distance, it looks like many human heads, arms and legs floating on the dark water.

However, compared with yesterday, the water temperature is already acceptable, and it is no different from the lake water in normal summer.Chen Yu's water skills are actually good, and she let go of Ma Wenqing's hand when she got into the water.Ma Wenqing immediately ran to Yao Wenwen's group of girls to show her courtesy and help them from time to time.Feng Han carried Chen Yu's bag on his back, and seemed to be leisurely following behind Chen Yu.

After a while, everyone gradually swam under the iron chain. Chen Yu looked at the dark water and the thick iron chain hanging on the water, and suddenly thought of ghosts.He felt nauseous for a while, and even felt that the pressure on his heart seemed to be increasing.Fortunately, he could leave the water soon. Thinking of this, Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly the people in front screamed, and many of them turned around and swam back. Judging from the expressions on their faces, it seemed that something extremely terrifying appeared in front of them.

Ma Wenqing dragged a frightened girl in the class who couldn't swim back and shouted, "Go back to the shore!"

Before they could say anything else, Chen Yu had already seen that a huge black vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the lake under the iron chain, and the vortex was spinning at a high speed while expanding continuously, and some students had already been sucked into it!Chen Yu only had time to turn around and swipe twice, and he was already swept into the water by an inexplicable huge pulling force.

Chen Yu was dizzy and couldn't see his direction in the water, nor could Ma Wenqing, who was still in front of him just now.Turn on the waterproof flashlight, it is better than nothing, only a few centimeters away from you can have some faint light, in the dark water, surrounded by walls of darkness, people have a strong sense of loneliness.

Now that I think about it, I just felt pressure on my chest, not just an illusion. At that time, the flow rate of the water should have been changing.

Chen Yu couldn't continue to think anymore, the high-speed rotation made him approach the center of the vortex, Chen Yu wanted to take something that could be fixed like a climbing pick, but found that his bag seemed to be lost on the shore.

When Chen Yu lost consciousness, a faintly felt hand pulled him hard.

……

"Damn it, what's going on here? Can there be such a big whirlpool in the lake?" Ma Wenqing's cursing voice entered Chen Yu's ears from far and near.

Chen Yu blinked, saw the blue sky, and thought for the rest of his life: I'm saved.Then, the sky disappeared, replaced by Feng Han's face, with black hair and black eyes, the bottomless black in his eyes was deeper than the lake just now.

Chen Yu was a little nervous for a moment, yes, he always felt that Feng Han was a more dangerous existence.Although Feng Han has shown that if it is not necessary, he will never hurt his belongings.

"Are you okay?" Feng Han asked with some concern.By now, Chen Yu already knew that that kind of concern was just Feng Han's unique courtesy.

"Well, it's okay, we were rescued?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's right, it was washed over by the water." Feng Han looked at the shallow pool not far away.

It is also a pool of black water, but this one is much smaller and lower.The students and the two professors are on the shore, some of them are still awake.No great black lake, no chains and bronze altars.Just now, the Heishui Lake was full of cobblestones, and almost no grass grew on the shore, but here it is thriving, with wild flowers and weeds everywhere.

Professor Qian asked people to count the number of people, but fortunately, there were quite a few.It's just that Professor Wang passed out again, and he was still too reluctant to come here.

At this time, a boy laughed and shouted loudly: "Teacher, we are applying for a hug from a beautiful woman!"

The girls looked at the professor with unfriendly eyes, and Professor Qian coughed quite seriously, and said, "I'm just a professor, a guide, not your mother, and I won't care about your private life."

Everyone was speechless looking at the professor who became highly respected in an instant.

"Professor, this doesn't seem to be the valley just now?" Fang Jin came to make a rescue under Professor Qian's gaze, brushed his yellow hair, and came to talk. His girlfriend Xiao Qi was leaning against him, resting with her eyes closed.Even if this person wants to apply for a hug, he definitely has the heart and guts.

Professor Qian sat on the rock, lit a cigarette, and exhaled, "Well, the observation is good so far. This should be another valley. The pool in front of us should be connected to the big lake. It may be because Because of the difference in water levels or the tides, there was backflow and we got swept up here."

Everyone was silent. Although the place where the treasure was hidden might be on the cliff outside, no one asked to go back.Not to mention the inexplicable horror in the black water, whether you can go back along the water pool is another matter.

At this time, Yao Wenwen ran over panting, and said, "Professor, there is a stone cave over there, right by the pool, I don't know where it leads to."

Professor Qian stood up immediately, and took Qiao Yi, Fang Jin, Ma Wenqing and a few people over to check.

Chen Yu squinted his eyes and continued to lie down to rest. He touched the bronze ring around his neck, feeling more and more worried.What is the curse on it? Will I accidentally trigger the mechanism, and then I will never be able to open my eyes again?

Feng Han didn't feel anything at all, and was eating the food in Chen Yu's bag beside him.

Chen Yu suddenly squinted at the people around him, and asked in surprise, "Can you eat these?"

Feng Han looked up at him in surprise, and said, "What's so strange? Don't you know how to eat when you're hungry?"

Chen Yu was dumbfounded by the question, and asked cautiously with joy: "That is to say, you don't have to suck my blood at all to live, right?"

"Yes." Feng Han affirmed without any hesitation.

Chen Yu gritted his teeth: "Then why are you sucking blood!"

Feng Han thought for a while with a blank face, and then said without guilt: "Your blood is more useful than these things. There must be a time for a toothbrush. Don't worry, I will pay attention to the amount of blood sucked. Sometimes, people still So fragile."

Chen Yu was angry, how could this person take it for granted!

At this time, Ma Wenqing shouted from a distance: "Little Chen Yu, come quickly, the organization needs you!"

Because Professor Qian was there, Ma Wenqing couldn't joke, so Chen Yu had to get up and walk to the pool.Feng Han immediately followed, Chen Yu saw his big bag, picked it up and carried it on his back, and said, "You don't have to follow me all the time."

Feng Han nodded, "Well, you don't have to worry, I don't mind for now."

"..."

A dozen or so students had already gathered by the pool, and a slanted stone cave was hidden behind tall grass, which was discovered by a careful girl.

Ma Wenqing greeted Chen Yu, "Hurry up, go in and have a look, you have to take care of the things inside."

Chen Yu walked down suspiciously. The cave was very flat, with traces of man-made digging, and some rough stone carvings of flowers and birds on it. It gradually went down, and it actually reached the water.Where there is water, the cave also ends, and a stone door with a lock appears.

It turned out that he was called to come and pick the lock.

The water by the door was about half a meter deep, and Chen Yu had no problem opening the lock in the past.

At this time, Feng Han pulled him back, and everyone looked at Feng Han.Feng Han stared at Chen Yu, and said flatly: "There is no need to open this door, unless you still want to return to the Black Water Lake. This is probably the path Wu Sangui took to hide the treasure back then."

Professor Qian walked to the front in surprise, looked at the orientation of the door, and at the paintings on the stone wall, finally slapped his thigh and said: "This little brother is right, this is the way they came in, that is to say, those The treasure is actually in the valley where we just woke up."

"This Wu Sangui is really ingenious. He hid the entrance in the black water lake. Others really can't find it. Don't they always smear the stone path?" Fang Jin was puzzled.

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "When they built the stone path back then, they might not have been in the lake. Over the years, the water level of the lake may have risen and flooded the stone path, so we couldn't find it."

Professor Qian nodded with a smile: "Yes, and the water pool here is very low, which means that the valley here is higher than the valley just now. I read the treasure map that says the treasure is on the cliff, and I may have misunderstood it. It should be in this valley higher than that."

"Okay! Then let's go find it quickly." Ma Wenqing said excitedly.

So a group of people went back to the valley, looking for a place where the treasure might be hidden.

Compared with previous hardships, the search this time was unexpectedly easy. On the other side of the valley against the mountain, there were two stone piers engraved with strange symbols. The mountain in the middle of the stone piers was abnormally flat, and there was a stone gate on the mountain.Moreover, the Shimen had already been blasted into a big hole, enough for a person to walk through.

The students were pleasantly surprised at first, and then began to wonder, could it be that this place has been stolen?

Ma Wenqing looked at the blasted stone door for a long time, and finally said: "Why do I have a strange intuition, this door seems to be a tombstone."

Chen Yu nodded silently. He still believed in the intuition of Ma Wenqing, a child of a tomb-robbing family.

"Go in and take a look first." Professor Qian said, because the door was blasted open, the air inside will not be a problem now.

There are still painted paintings on both sides of the stone wall inside, which are slightly faded, which may be the reason for the air entering.The ever-burning lamps were lit at intervals, and the similar tomb passage made Chen Yu start to have a bad feeling.The further you go in, the more gorgeous and vivid the paintings on both sides become.Most of the paintings are palace ladies carrying trays or lanterns. The jackets on court ladies are extremely short, reaching only to the waist, while the skirts are very long, with graceful and smooth lines.

"This is the costume of the Han Dynasty. How could it be engraved in Wu Sangui's treasure cave?"

Fang Jin murmured, only focusing on the mural in front of him, he who was walking in the front suddenly fell to the ground, he pulled Ma Wenqing who was next to him but failed to hold him back, and when he finally reached the ground, he actually crushed someone.

Then Fang Jin screamed and jumped up.

"Damn, Huangmao, you're not a woman, what's your name?" Ma Wenqing was concentrating on studying the beauties in the murals, and was startled by Fang Jin, and said impatiently.

"You are the woman... Teacher, there is a dead man here!" Fang Jin quarreled with Ma Wenqing, thinking about the business, he turned around and said to Professor Qian.

Professor Qian walked over hurriedly. The people on the ground were older than the dead man when he first entered Wu Sangui's tomb, and they were already dry with only a layer of skin left.The clothes are still neatly dressed, and the whole body is black, almost like a mummy, and the strange thing is that it has not rotted.

"Maybe it's because it's too dry here. Now, go and look through the things in his bag." Professor Qian instructed.

Fang Jin had just had close contact with the mummy, and now he continued to search for a long time without tears.The bag was still a canvas bag used more than ten years ago. It contained simple flashlights, candles, water bottles, and a yellowed notebook.

Fang Jin handed the notebook to Professor Qian, and then went to his girlfriend Xiao Qi to seek comfort, but was ordered not to approach Xiao Qi within one meter for a month because of the stench, Fang Jin squatted in the corner silently.

"This person seems to have the habit of taking notes at any time, and the thick stack in front of him is something he used to do." Professor Qian said, and turned directly to the part where they entered the valley.

Glancing twice, he sighed, "They also came from Wu Sangui's tomb, and the poisonous snake at the entrance is somewhat similar to us."

Everyone came over to look at it, and saw that it said:

On May 5, I was in the tomb all the time, not knowing whether it was cloudy or sunny.

We followed the road to the side of the weird lake, and couldn't wait for the dawn. Ah Zheng, who entered the lake late at night, never came out again.

It was sunny on March 5.

We entered the valley smoothly, and we should be able to find what we need immediately. Although no one said it, we can see that everyone wants to leave this ghost place.

September 5, cloudy.

This is the first time I have seen a treasure like a mountain, and everyone is very excited.The higher ups seem to want more than just treasures, so we can take some of these things with us.So many things, how much can we take away?Ali will definitely go crazy with joy when she sees this, I'd better bring some more.

September 5, overcast.

The captain has been refusing to leave. Although the people in the team were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say anything. They just picked out more valuable things to replace the original ones every day.Later, I couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how many treasures there are, I can't resist the temptation of my family anymore, so I decided to follow the captain secretly in the middle of the night to see where he sneaked every day.

June 6st, probably cloudy.

I shouldn't be going, I'm going to die, who is that faceless woman with the captain?

Ali...

The diary was gone at this point, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Chen Yu's hairs stood on end when he thought of his dream, why did this man also see a woman without a face?

The students began to whisper again, this group of people obviously came for Wu Sangui's treasure, or there were other purposes.However, other people did come here.

Professor Qian pondered for a while, and said: "They must be more than one person. If they don't see other corpses, maybe someone else has gone out. Don't scare yourself, let's look for it." As a professor who insists on materialism, Professor Qian thinks that some scary phenomena may just be hallucinations produced in the brain when people are extremely frightened.

Going forward, there is a stone room on the left, and the door is half open.

The stone room is not too big, there is a screen at the door, the wooden frame on the side and the light white screen of unknown material are still intact, with peonies embroidered on it.There is also an ever-burning lamp in the room, but on a table behind a screen.

Through the screen, everyone vaguely saw a person sitting at the table, who looked like a woman.
