Chapter 110: Living People Sink Into the Lake

Song Qian was startled and quickly turned over in the water to push the corpse away.

Fortunately, this corpse was the same as the previous one, and there was no sign of resurrection, it just floated over.

Ji Han and the other two swam to Song Qian's side, but when they looked at the corridor of the inner courtyard, they couldn't help but be shocked.

There were seven or eight pale corpses floating in the corridor.

These corpses, both men and women, were wearing very little clothes, their bodies were pale, and their eyes were wide open.

But the bodies seemed to be very soft, and there was no sign of decay. They floated in the water with the waves, just like a living person dancing.

Good guy, if Zhao Wangdai in the previous game saw this, he would be very angry. He did so many tricks, but the corpse still rotted in the end, and these corpses were soaked in the water, but they didn't rot at all.

However, because these corpses were tied with chains on their feet, they would not leave the building even though they were floating in the water.

Ji Han thought to himself, each of them still had their eyes open, which really didn't look like they were thrown into the water after death, but rather like they were drowned alive.

Could it be that all these people died from some kind of water torture?

I have read before that there is a kind of punishment called "cement shoes" in Europe, which is specifically used for enemies and traitors.

Place the prisoner's feet in an empty basin, then pour cement on them. When the cement dries, it will form heavy cement blocks on the prisoner's feet. At this time, the prisoner will be sunk to the bottom of the water and watched as he is drowned in despair.

It is really difficult to drown a person abroad, while the ancient Chinese pig cage is simple and clear.

But if you want to drown someone, you can just tie a heavy object, and it is really unnecessary to lock them under the water.

What is the purpose of locking these people here?

The four people observed for a while and made 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 vertical shaft about two meters wide.

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

It really fulfilled the saying:

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss will be embarrassed.

Eggplant spread his hands to everyone, as if to say:

"Fuck, I don't understand."

Ji Han could also explain what he meant. After all, it was quite strange 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, why would we build a well?

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

Unless someone in ancient times built houses in the water and dug deep wells.

That's crazy, is it the Dragon King's mansion? The Dragon King of the Dry Sea in the desert?

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

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

Ji Han, who discovered something, suddenly reached out to stop the three people, and then asked everyone to look at himself.

Then Ji Han fell half of his body towards the wellhead, and as Ji Han expected, his hair floated above the wellhead.

The three of them instantly understood what Ji Han meant:

This 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 recorded first, and it is not a major discovery. The four continued to swim towards the main house in the courtyard.

The walls here are mostly rotten and falling off, and the wooden doors and windows have basically been destroyed.

The stone platform in front of the main hall is also empty, without even a Buddha statue.

Ji Han thought that this temple was too stingy. There was not even a Buddha statue. What can it use to suppress ghosts?

What kind of ghost-suppressing temple is it? It’s better to call it a ghost inn.

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

This is indeed a bit strange. Normally, the construction of the temple will brag about the construction history or something. Here, there is nothing except a landmark monument.

The four came out of the main house and prepared to swim to the side courtyard of the statue.

This time, Eggplant swam up to see the situation first, but just as he went up, he swam down again and stopped everyone.

No one understood what he was doing, so Eggplant turned on his fluorescent board and wrote two words crookedly:

"There is light!"

He also pointed to the side courtyard.

At this time, everyone was more surprised than frightened. There is light under the water?

Is there anyone else besides us?

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

But that is a deep-sea fish, and there are no fish in this place.

The four people looked at each other, and Eggplant motioned to go over and take a look first, and then slowly swam to the door of the side courtyard.

After looking inside for a while, he confirmed something, and then raised his hand to signal everyone to come over.

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

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

It's like a light bulb is stuck inside.

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

The four of them swam towards the bell carefully.

When they got closer, they saw that the bell was nearly a person tall, the patterns on it were already mottled and unclear, and there was a lot of green copper rust, which showed that it was very old.

Shouldn't all bells in temples be hung up?

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

And there is a white light flashing underneath, is it holding something luminous?

In short, the copper bell with a history of thousands of years is hung under water. It can't be a flashlight after it is turned over, right?

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

After all, it is underwater and there are so many people, it should be able to push it open.

Just when Ji Han was hesitating whether it was appropriate to push the bell open, he looked up and saw a familiar red word on Eggplant's head:

Danger!

Ji Han hurriedly pulled out the tail end of the harpoon and blocked Eggplant.

He shook his head desperately, signaling everyone not to get close.

Eggplant was almost pushed down, but fortunately he was stopped in time by Ji Han.

Although he felt a little puzzled, Eggplant still listened to the advice, and he also believed that he must have discovered something to stop himself.

Since Ji Han did not allow everyone to open it, everyone had to observe the copper bell carefully and continue to check other places.

After searching for half an hour, there was nothing worth checking.

This almost collapsed ghost-suppressing temple was empty inside and out.

Except for more than 20 strange corpses tied to the building, there was nothing valuable.

No area for further exploration was found, no passage, no secret door.

According to the hint in the Nine Star Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, there should be a passage or a door for everyone to enter the next area.

But after searching twice, there was nothing to be found.

Helplessly, everyone had to temporarily float out of Crescent Lake, communicate and summarize the existing information first, and then come down to explore.

The four people floated to the surface one by one.

Eggplant cursed as soon as he came out:

"Fuck, I can't talk, it's killing me, how can this be a temple? It's obviously a morgue."
