Chapter 5 The Ancient City Under Ground

　　The stuffy oil bottle told Zhang Haike that the entire area under this strange place was the ruins of the ancient city of Sizhou. At least four layers were buried under their feet, and they were only on the first floor. This ancient city was operated by the Zhang family 30 years ago. After a flood washed away during the Kangxi period, the ancient city was buried in the mud and disappeared. Most of the finances have not been cleaned up, so there are many good things in the mud.

　　The ancient city of Sizhou was established in the Sui Dynasty 1,500 years ago. This generation of Yellow River floods continued year after year. Later, the foundations of countless old cities collapsed, and the buried soil was buried under the new city. Several layers of the city are staggered up and down, and the underground seems to be a maze of silt and ruins. The Yellow River flood has occurred no less than 10,000 times in the past five hundred years, and each time a lot of finances have been fixed in the mud, which is like gold rush for tomb robbers. In the ruins, as long as they explore the distance of a few hundred meters, they can return with a full reward.

　　But what the stuffy oil bottle wants is in the deepest place.

　　"You don't need help?" Zhang Haike asked after the stuffy oil bottle finished.

　　"You can't help me." The stuffy oil bottle said, "You don't understand everything here, you take the things and go back quickly, otherwise, the danger will not only come from here, let the Zhang family know that you are here, and you will not It's a good ending."

　　Zhang Haike looked at each other in dismay, and then said, "I didn't want to say these words at first, I wanted to wait for your own setbacks, but you are too persistent and shrewd, and you have really succeeded. Now, it's time to say Believe it or not, it's up to you." After speaking,

　　he jumped into the mud in a few steps. Flip down.

　　Several people watched a few bubbles come out of the mud, fluttered a few times, the stuffy oil bottle disappeared, and looked at each other again.

　　"How to fix it?" One of them said, "Is what this kid is telling the truth?"

　　"Is it really unimportant, but if we listen to him, even if we lose to this little bastard, we have enough. I can't swallow this breath, why should I listen to him?" said another.

　　After being silent again, I saw one of them scolded, packed up the equipment, and jumped down abruptly.

　　Zhang Haike watched them go down one by one, and sighed in his heart, a particularly bad feeling came up, but he still followed them into the mud and dived down.

　　The feeling of diving in the mud is strange to others. Zhang Haike didn't describe it much. He only said that he held his breath for three minutes before he caught the rope and led him to the edge of the tunnel. He held the rope with one hand and touched the side of the tunnel with the other. All the way forward, when the tunnel reached the top, he floated up to explore the top, and found that it was the head of a well. The well was full of silt, and there was a cobblestone-paved ground outside. Several mud monkeys were all lying on the ground panting.

　　It looks like a family's yard, apparently sunk into the ground into a cave, but the bonsai, rockery, cobblestone ground still exists.

　　The torches were already lit, and without judgment, one would think that it was a very small stone hall. The flood washed down two houses, and the outer wall collapsed and covered the courtyard. Now the outer wall that became the ceiling has tilted. Zhang Haike wiped off the black mud on his face, and saw that except for a few of them, there was no bottle of stuffy oil.

　　"What about the kid?"

　　One of them pointed to one side, and saw a muddy footprint on the ground, leading into the darkness that couldn't be illuminated by the torches. Zhang Haike wanted to follow him immediately, but was pulled: "That boy, let us not follow him, otherwise it will be very dangerous. He said that the road, only he can walk."

　　Zhang Haike was impatient, and said that this boy is really not going to die . , don't even ask for help, this is the performance of a child, he said: "After all, he is a brother of the same family, no matter what his purpose is, we can't let him die."

　　Zhang Haike followed the mud footprints, and a few people went all the way. In the past, I found that the corner over there was still a hole leading to another void.

　　Zhang Haike said that this ancient city was completely buried by silt. The silt in some places has completely turned into mud after hundreds of years, and some still maintain a sticky state. There is only air in many relatively large and closed ancient building relics. In the early exploration of the Zhang family, a passage has been established between the routes that can be traveled, and ropes are hidden in the mud. As long as you enter the mud, you can touch it, so that you can reach another room before suffocation. Some rooms are too far apart, and the predecessors used the method of digging robbery holes. In short, because of the complex geological conditions in the ancient city, it has become a system of robbery holes, ropes under the mud and various passages.

　　The predecessors of the Zhang family used mesh exploration at the beginning, but in the later stage, all the routes were grouped into one, obviously the purpose was very clear. This is because in the beginning, the purpose of this group of people was just to collect finances, but then they discovered a secret in the collected finances and turned to explore the secret.

　　In the corner of the room was the entrance of a corridor. After they entered, they entered a dry ancient ruin. Half of it had collapsed. They could see the ceiling cut like a knife, and half of it was buried in the soil. sloping.

　　This is a wing room with a garden on the side. It seems to be the building of a large family. The family is well-off, so the house is very strong. Although it collapsed in the flood, many shapes have been preserved.

　　They saw two forks here, and the tomb road that continued to extend forward became two. From the traces of the mud, it was easy to tell which one was the stuffy oil bottle, but Zhang Haike found that they couldn't follow.

　　Because these two go to the hole, one is big and the other is small, the big one is normal size, and the small one can only accommodate a stature like a stuffy oil bottle. Although they looked like they were not much bigger than a stuffy oil bottle, they definitely couldn't squeeze in.

　　Zhang Haike was puzzled, and after he carefully inspected the little thief hole, he found that it was a last resort, because there were four bluestone slabs in the soil around the thief hole, which was a sewer channel with a diameter of It has been fixed and cannot be expanded.

　　No wonder the stuffy oil bottle said that only he could pass.
