Tomb Raiders start to enter the Lu Palace

Chapter 216 The ancient village at the bottom of the lake

"Okay, let's go here. Yun Cai, Uncle Agui, we will go down for about a minute later, if we want to come up, we will pull the rope a few times, and you should quickly pull us up." The fat man said.

Both Agui and Yuncai nodded. This kind of thing must be agreed in advance, otherwise, they will be pulled up when they don't want to come up later, or if they don't pull up when they want to come up, it will be troublesome .

Seeing that they had almost reached an agreement, Chen Hao jumped into the water with a plop, without even hugging a stone, and swam to the bottom of the lake like a fish at an extremely fast speed.

"Wait for us!"

Fatty and the others sighed when they saw this, then hugged the stone and jumped into the lake.

Under the water, Chen Hao used all four limbs to swim to the bottom of the lake at an extremely fast speed, and soon he dived to more than 30 meters, while Fatty and others were still in the shallow water layer of 5-6 meters.

Chen Hao's underwater vision is excellent. When he dived to a depth of more than 40 meters, he found a strange ancient village at the bottom of the lake!

The periphery of the ancient village was surrounded by a fence, and a large number of buildings inside had collapsed, except for the ancient building in the middle, which still stood at the bottom of the lake.

The shape of the ancient building looks like the Han style, and it is tall and luxurious. Compared with the low Miao houses around, it feels like it stands out from the crowd.

He quickly swam towards the ancient building, and found that there were a lot of aquatic plants and algae attached to the ancient building, which made the whole Drum Tower look completely different.

However, looking at the uncorrupted wood and the flat stones, it can be seen that the materials used for the workmanship of this ancient building are very particular. Even after sinking to the bottom of the lake for many years, it still maintains its outline at that time.

Without checking, he knew that this ancient building was called the Zhang Family Ancient Building. Of course, it was not the ancient building used to bury the members of the Zhang family, but a man surnamed Zhang who built it in the middle of the Miao village.

The purpose of the Zhang family building this ancient building, he is also very clear, is to hide the eyes and ears, to dig underground jade mines, and build a building on the ground, so that the underground jade mines can be mined secretly for a long time.

After all, the value of jade mines is too great. If they were all mined, they would have bought a lot of guns and soldiers at that time. If they were mined without concealment, if other warlords knew about it, they would definitely send troops to seize it.

Moreover, based on the plot in the original book, he felt that the people who built this ancient village were probably the Zhang family, who joined forces with the local King Miao to implement it.

Because this is the site of the Miao Village people, it is impossible for the Miao Village people to watch a foreigner build such a flamboyant and luxurious ancient building in the middle of their village.

At this moment, Fatty and the others sank down one after another, and Chen Hao quickly gestured to them to come over.

Fatty and the others quickly untied the stone, swam towards Chen Hao, and looked at the old house carefully.

When a few of them saw this ancient village, which was almost exactly the same as Banai Village, they were all horrified, they kept spitting out blisters from their mouths, widened their eyes, and looked at this ancient village at the bottom of the lake in disbelief.

The fat man had sharp eyes. He pointed to the gate of the ancient building, and then motioned for everyone to swim over.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. It turned out that there was a pair of couplets carved on the gate of the ancient building. The font was vigorous and powerful, like flowing clouds and flowing water. It looked very mediocre and elegant. Made by literati.

Chen Hao hurriedly swam to the other side, wiped off the attachments on it, and carefully looked at the couplet, only to see the engraving on it: Le Yanran has played high, and he still thinks of Qufu to chant poems.

The couplets are very ordinary, but they show the identity of the person who built this ancient house, indicating that this person has military merits, at least he is a bureaucrat.

Fatty and the others also swam over, looked at the couplet, and looked at each other.

Then Wu Xie made a gesture, roughly saying that the person in this ancient house is also surnamed Zhang, and he is also a bureaucrat of a foreign race. How could he build the house in the Miao Village?

Immediately, Wu Xie pointed at the younger brother and kept gesticulating, roughly meaning to ask, is this the old house of your ancestors?

Because Poker Fing's surname is also Zhang, and he also lived in Banai before, he couldn't help thinking about whether the little brother has any connection with the owner of this ancient building.

The little brother shook his head with a puzzled expression, indicating that he didn't know, he had lost his memory now, even if this ancient building was really built by his ancestors, he might not remember it.

At this time, it had been 1 minute since they came down, and Wu Xie obviously couldn't hold back anymore, so he quickly gestured to everyone, which meant that I was going up.

The fat man and the little brother are better, and it seems that they can hold back for a while.

Chen Hao saw that Wu Xie wanted to go up, so he came to him, dragged his legs, and pushed him up.

As Wu Xie went upstream, he pulled the rope a few times. The people above obviously sensed the movement below, and pulled the rope up vigorously, and Wu Xie quickly swam to the surface of the water.

Chen Hao gestured to Fatty and the others again, meaning let's go in and have a look.

Both of them nodded. Chen Hao walked in the front and led the way, and pushed open the wooden door that was about to rot. Inside was a very spacious small courtyard with a straight screen wall in the middle.

There are many cloud-patterned birds and animals carved on it, which symbolize auspiciousness, which looks very simple and elegant.

There is a screen wall in the small courtyard. Generally, people with status, at least bureaucrats, are qualified to do this. If civilians do this, they will commit the crime of usurpation.

Seeing this, everyone was immediately convinced that the owner of this ancient house was definitely a bureaucrat. No wonder such a flamboyant ancient building could be built in the central area of ​​Miao Village.

Chen Hao couldn't help thinking, could it be that the person who built this ancient building was Master Zhang Dafo?

Master Zhang Dafo also belonged to one of the princes at that time, he was the governor of a certain area, and he also had thousands of people under his command. With his status and status, he had that strength and qualification to build such an ancient house.

There is no answer given in the original book, so he can only infer this, because Lao Jiumen once organized a funeral team to enter the ancient building of the Zhang family for the purpose of transporting a coffin into the ancient building, so he thought of this .

Everyone didn't stay too long. Passing through the screen wall, they saw the U-shaped houses behind them. The doors and windows were all carved, and the vermilion paint on them was basically peeled off, with a lot of aquatic plants attached.

In the center is a very spacious living room. The doors and windows inside are almost rotten, and they are covered with attachments. Some chairs, guest tables, and other furniture and other things are scattered all over the place.

Chen Hao didn't pay too much attention to these things. He now wants to find the secret camel as soon as possible, kill all directions, and earn enough achievement points.

Then exchange the Dragon Pill for Xiao Yu to eat, because that girl's physique is too weak.

suddenly!

"Ring Ling Ling..."

A series of crisp ringtones came, and in the next second, the dark and empty imaginary space appeared in front of Chen Hao's eyes!

There are a large number of green light balls floating in front of his eyes, surrounded by nothingness, which is exactly the same as the imaginary space he saw in the meteorite of the West Queen Mother's underground palace!

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this was an illusion, because the ringtone just now was very familiar, it was the sound of the hexagonal bronze bell!

The reason why he was able to wake up so quickly was because his soul strength had reached the middle level and he had a high resistance to hallucinations.

His consciousness suddenly came to his senses, and soon the illusion disappeared, and he reappeared in the hall of the ancient building, and everything around him remained unchanged.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

The crisp bells were still ringing, and following the sound, it turned out that there was a pendant hanging above the head in the middle of the hall. There were a lot of hexagonal bells hanging on the pendant, and the sound came from these small bells.

Looking at the fat man and the little brother around them, both of them froze in place, their eyes staring straight ahead, as if they were frozen, apparently they were both in a hallucination.

Seeing this, Chen Hao quickly took out the Faqiu Tianguan seal, bit his own finger, dripped blood on the Faqiu seal, and suddenly there was a mysterious energy fluctuation.

His blood melted into the water, and then he took the Faqiu Seal and came to the two of them, and lightly stamped their Heavenly Spirit Caps, and the two of them woke up immediately.
