Chapter 15 Floating Corpse

In the dark depths of the water, the ancient corpse wrapped in white gauze had been soaked in the water for who knows how many years. The white gauze had long been dilapidated. It was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman. Because it was still far away, the appearance of the corpse was also blurry. , the saving status cannot be seen.

The third uncle broke out in a cold sweat, but immediately calmed down. Obviously since it is a shipwreck tomb, it is not strange to have a suspended corpse here.

However, when the third uncle gradually let go of the hand covering the search light, he saw that under the cold white light, another ancient corpse appeared in the darkness next to the ancient corpse. The same dress was hidden gloomily in the darkness. In the gloomy sea water.

The third uncle had an ominous premonition. He continued to move the search light, and sure enough he found a large number of ancient white gauze corpses floating in the darkness below, as many as thirty or forty. Countless white fluttering gauze flowers really give people a chill that pierces the heart and lungs.

Because of the search lights, it is no longer possible to know where the weak green fluorescence is emitted from these ancient corpses. The most chilling thing is that the ancient corpses are not static, stiff corpses. Suspended in the water, it is still moving slowly.

The third uncle's heart was about to jump out of his throat. In the airtight helmet, his head was covered with cold sweat. He thought to himself that it was lucky that he had grabbed the understanding link. If he had just swam straight over and got close to these ancient corpses, I turned on the light only when I got up, it would be strange if I didn't scare myself to death. These corpses must have been soaked here for nearly a thousand years. The ordinary ones have long since melted. How could they still be suspended in the water? Could it be that they have become rice dumplings?

When I came down, I was not prepared at all. I never thought that I would face such a dangerous situation. I didn't even bring a donkey's hooves with me. It was extremely unfair. Following this stupid unchaining, the third uncle had already forgotten all this. It was self-inflicted.

Looking at Jie Lianlian again, he also had a look of horror. It could be seen that his indifferent behavior just now was probably caused by ignorance of the real situation. It seemed that the foreigner did not tell him what he would see.

The third uncle's thoughts were like lightning, and he had foreseen several situations in a flash. At this time, the group of ancient corpses in the distance gradually drifted closer, unhurriedly, and the white gauze floated slowly. If it weren't for the darkness around him, and the blurry Qing's facial features, this scene is really like the scene of immortals walking on clouds in the heavenly palace.

The third uncle looked at it, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and realized something.

He lowered his body and dived a few meters, bringing himself closer to take a closer look.

The ancient corpse did not seem to be completely decomposed. Although the facial features were blurred, the human appearance could still be seen. Each one showed various postures, some were like trays, some were like flutes, and some were like playing harps, drums, and harps. There were more than a dozen of them. Although they were as stiff as iron, their postures were graceful and unparalleled. The third uncle understood what he saw. To what.

The murals on many ancient tombs depict a scene in which the corpse of the tomb owner is dismembered and ascended to heaven, with the heavenly gates wide open, immortals gathering to greet them, auspicious clouds lingering, divine birds flying, and the sky shining brightly. In such a mural, there must be a painting of "Celestial Master Dance and Music" above the ladder on which the owner of the tomb is stepping. In the painting, there must be countless old gods of heavenly music, playing drums and harps.

But the owner of the tomb here obviously felt that the "Celestial Master's Dance and Music" in a painting was not satisfying. The scene formed by these dozens of ancient corpses was the real-life dance and music of the Celestial Master, with the drums and harp playing in unison. This was simply too Incredible.

He immediately understood why Jie Lianhuan was looking for these ancient corpses, because the route of the Celestial Master's Dance and Music was the immortal path for the corpse of the tomb owner to ascend to heaven. If he followed the ancient corpses, he would definitely find the whereabouts of the tomb owner.

The Jie Lianhuan on one side regained his strength and motioned for his third uncle to follow him. His movements were deformed due to nervousness.

The third uncle tried to calm his heartbeat. He knew that he must have entered an incredible place, but he didn't panic at this time, because now that he knew this place, the ancient tomb would not escape. The current preparations were obviously insufficient. , he had every excuse to convince himself to quit.

Now that I think about it, the place they are in is basically an endless abyss. Where are those ancient corpses floating?

It is impossible to guess how long it will take to float. If you follow it rashly, you will not know how much time will be wasted, and there will not be enough oxygen. It is indeed quite unwise.

The third uncle came to his senses completely. He stopped him from understanding Lian Lian and signaled him to go back and not to proceed any further. It was too dangerous to continue in the current situation, and his life was still important.

However, Xie Lianhuan suddenly made up his mind at this time (nervousness is a common problem among second-generation ancestors, and it seems that I also have this problem), and without waiting for his third uncle to stop him, he went straight to chase the female corpse.

The third uncle sent several search light signals from behind, trying to get him to wait a little longer, but he didn't care at all. When the third uncle looked at it, he thought it was too bad, this kid probably wanted to get rid of him.

Just now, they forced Xie Lianhua to come down together. Xie Lianhua must have been unwilling to do so. Now that it was almost coming to an end, Xie Lianhua might as well get rid of him.

Even if they no longer have feelings for him, Xie Huanhua is still his relative, and he is the so-called elder brother. Chinese people always have a blood complex and a child care complex on this issue. It is impossible for the third uncle to leave Xie Huanhua at this time. , he could only suppress the anger in his stomach and rush to catch up.

(Speaking of which, I don’t know how many times I have heard my third uncle mention his “last resort” and “no choice”. He repeated it so much that I could hear the strangeness. It seemed that he was subconsciously emphasizing that he would not follow the solution. I am willing. In fact, based on my understanding of Third Uncle's personality, Third Uncle was not the kind of person who could control his curiosity at that time. I have already felt here that it is inevitable that Third Uncle will die after untying the chain. will bear the main responsibility.

The reason why I think so is because my third uncle took me with me for a while when I was a child. At that time, because someone asked him to go to the fields and he couldn't take care of me, he tied me with a rope to the roadside and left me in the sun for a whole day, which almost caused me a heatstroke. Afterwards, he bribed me with a lot of salt water popsicles to hide the incident. I was not sensible at the time, so I didn’t tell anyone. But regarding this matter, we know that when he was young, he had a very naughty personality and poor self-control.

But when I think of the bloody words Jie Lianhuan left on the ancient tomb, I still can't believe that my third uncle would go out of his way to harm him. So after hearing this, I couldn't help but become nervous. )

What happens next is very fast-paced.

The third uncle was weighing the consumption of oxygen while struggling to catch up with Xie Lianhuan. The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. He had never been to such an undersea tomb, and he was really not sure.

But Jie Lianhuan was basically running away at this time. He was diving very fast in front. In addition, the third uncle was not very good at diving, so it was obvious that he couldn't keep up with him.

Following the light in front, I swam forward in the darkness for more than ten minutes. Unknowingly, many suspended objects appeared around Third Uncle. Uncle San took a quick look and saw that they were all made of broken wood, with thousands of carved windows and wooden beams, all of which were highly decayed and covered with white rust.

Then, in the middle of these floating objects, the third uncle saw a huge, tilted black shadow that looked like a monster.

The "Ancient Dancing Corpses" floating in the water floated directly towards this thing, and the chain link in front had already surpassed them and was close to the huge black shadow. The third uncle used his light to drift away bit by bit. I saw the true face of that thing clearly.

It was the bow of a giant ancient ship stuck in the rocks. The so-called giant here is just an overused word. The third uncle felt that he could not use it to describe the size of the bow of the ship he saw.

The wreckage of the ship's bow extended out from the reef, extending more than 200 meters on both sides. The wreckage has been completely deformed, and the twisted bow is covered with white sea dust and crusted coral reefs. If it weren't for the weird shape, others might think it was the skull of a huge sea creature.

The "Wu Le Ancient Corpse" floated down toward the wreckage, and soon disappeared into the dark sea water. The third uncle, Xie Lianlian, followed closely behind. Under the illumination of two search lights, the condition of the wreckage became increasingly clear.

On the deck of the bow, the third uncle saw a wooden carved tower half embedded in the rocks. It seemed to be the main building of the huge wooden ship. It was now tilted and almost collapsed. On the balcony, there was a deformed and cracked white marble door, which was open like a big mouth, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
