Chapter 474 The Strangeness of the Ancient Building

The little brother's movements are not much slower than Hu Ming's.

After all, there are only two enemies, and it is not enough to serve them as an appetizer on land.

Likewise, the little brother frowned and rushed out of the water that was dyed dark green.

He threw the knife away in disgust and washed the blood on his beloved knife in the lake water.

"Go around!"

Hu Ming gestured to several people.

He was unwilling to cross the bloody waters in front of him again.

This was agreed upon by the three of them.

Several of them work in the fields all year round. Although they are not mysophobic, it is best to avoid the disgusting things in front of them.

The dark green blood spread quickly in the lake water. In a short period of time, the area tens of meters in front was dyed dark green.

Among them, countless broken bones, minced meat, fragments of internal organs, and even parts of what appeared to be large intestines were floating in the water, rising and falling with the undercurrent.

Several people walked quickly and bypassed the area from the side before the area expanded further.

Almost none of the buildings in the ancient village are complete, and all you can see is ruins.

The ruins of the damaged buildings were covered with slippery unknown substances unique to the underwater environment.

After swimming all the way, the few people didn't find any clues worth paying attention to.

For a while, several people were quite discouraged.

In particular, the oxygen meter pointer is already halfway through. If we continue to explore, if we are not careful, we will face the crisis of lack of oxygen.

Underwater, there is a lack of oxygen, and it will be difficult if we encounter some emergency..

Of course, some of them were not professional divers, so a large part of the oxygen was wasted.

Just when Wu Xie and Fatty made eye contact, they pulled Hu Ming and the little brother at the front to convey the intention of a temporary strategic retreat.

Suddenly, the water flow at the bottom of the lake changed!

The originally slow undercurrent at the bottom of the lake suddenly began to accelerate and became rapid.

Several people could clearly feel the push behind them. The direction of the water flow was not at the center of the stockade, but towards the north.

From a distance, there seems to be a well-preserved ancient building standing in the water.

"That is.."

Wu Xie and Fatty didn't even bother to say they were retreating, and looked ahead in surprise.

Today, several people only dived down in the afternoon.

Counting the time, it was already evening.

According to previous inferences, this lake is a siphon lake. Every night, a large amount of lake water will be sucked into an unknown place.

There

Thinking of this, their eyes lit up, and their intuition told them that the secret of this Yao village was hidden in that well-preserved ancient building!

Sure enough, when the undercurrent surged, Hu Ming, instead of slowing down, took advantage of the undercurrent, accelerated his speed, and rushed towards the ancient building like an arrow from a string.

Several people did not dare to neglect and quickly followed Hu Ming's footsteps.

The village was not big, and even though the ancient building was in a remote location, riding on the undercurrent, several people had arrived in front of the ancient building in just ten minutes.

Under the leadership of Hu Ming, several people clawed at the wall of the ancient building to stabilize themselves.

The ancient building in front of us looks like a very huge compound high-stilt tower, composed of several high-stilt buildings combined together.

Looking carefully, everyone except Hu Ming was stunned.

The ancient building in front of you is not an ancient building of the Yao people at all, but an architectural style of the Han people!!!

Wu Xie studied architecture when he was in college. He could clearly see that this tower was clearly the architectural style of the late Qing Dynasty!

You know, areas where ethnic minorities gather are quite exclusive.

The Miao Yao people have been at odds with the Han family since ancient times. They live in separate groups and are very concerned about their privacy and lineage. Especially the Nanyao people have been the place with the most conflicts among ethnic minorities since ancient times.

Although they will accept some relatively friendly foreign people to settle in the village.

However, how is it possible to openly build such an ancient Han-style building that "shows individuality" in a Yao village?

Wu Xie fell into confusion for a while. He felt that all his previous research on the customs of ethnic minorities in China had gone into the belly of a dog.

"Look there."

At this moment, Hu Ming pointed to the plaque on the top of the door frame and gestured.

"Zhang Family Ancient Building!"

The words on the plaque are clearly these four words.

This is also the reason why my brother changed his color because of it.

Swimming slowly, a few people observed this ancient building in silence.

This time, I discovered something even more strange.

This ancient Chinese-style building is completely wrapped in the surrounding stilt buildings, and the tiles on the roof are exactly the same color. It seems to be deliberately protected by the stilt buildings.

Looking from the outside, there is no such ancient building inside.

Moreover, there is only one single building in the courtyard!

According to the architectural style of ancient courtyards, there should be several ancient buildings in such a large courtyard.

But here, the rest seems to have been cut off with a single cut, leaving such a nondescript ancient building on the surface.

The weirdest thing is.

All the buildings in the entire yard have no windows!

For some reason, except for the necessary portals, the building here is completely closed. Even in broad daylight, absolutely no light can enter the house.

It's hard to imagine that this is a house for living people.

This courtyard exudes a strange feeling from head to toe.

Subconsciously, Wu Xie shuddered in the water and looked at Hu Ming.

However, Hu Ming's expression remained normal, even with a faint smile.

It seemed that this strange architectural style had been expected by him.

Looking at my brother...

He had the same iceberg face as always, but at most, there was just the right amount of confusion on his face.

Very good, this fits my character very well. The little brother's memory has always been similar to Schrödinger's cat, making it difficult to figure out when he forgot and when he remembered part of the memory.

"Follow me!"

Without leaving Wu Xie any more time to guess, Hu Ming gestured again, crossed the wall, and swam deeper into the yard along the undercurrent.

After crossing the portal, Hu Ming landed in the courtyard.

The next few people fell down one after another, holding on to the stone tables and chairs full of sediment to steady themselves.

Most of the buildings here are made of wood, using very high-quality wood, and have also undergone some special treatments.

After being soaked in water for so many years, it still has not decayed or collapsed and maintains a complete structure.

Turn the dive light and there are doors on all sides.
