: Setting the stakes

Tang Jinghan has already prepared everything we need. Unlike the relatively crude equipment of the water ghosts, Tang Jinghan asked us for help, and everything he needed was prepared with the best quality.

Wetsuits, scuba, etc.

He even changed our backpacks that were half a person's height and made them waterproof.

These equipments were all stored in the workers’ colored steel room. Chen Wei seemed to be good at this. With his help, all of us quickly completed the replacement.

"Let each of you accept your destiny..."

Chen Wei patted the dozens of kilograms of weight on his body and said with a wry smile: "I heard that a foreigner wearing heavy armor accidentally fell into the water. As a result, he didn't come up and was drowned alive. It is said that he was still an emperor. How many of us

Carrying such a heavy thing into the water feels a bit like asking for death."

"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't accept this kind of business in the future."

I laughed and said, "If I had a choice, I would definitely not get involved in this industry. People are people, and they should live on the ground in the sun, and burrow underground every day. After a long time, even I don't understand

Are you a human or a ghost?"

Chen Wei nodded in agreement.

While they were talking, they had already reached the entrance of the pile well, and the others were all ready. Zhang Xinya contacted Tang Jinghan once and briefly talked about our affairs. Tang Jinghan probably figured out some ideas in the past few days.

He immediately told us to rest assured that he would settle everything, and would also send two trustworthy people to guard the entrance of the pile well, and no one would touch the rope.

Under the pile shaft is the secret escape tunnel dug by the craftsmen. I am an expert in this area, so I still follow the old rules. I went down first, and the others followed. As for Fu Huicheng and the few mercenaries, they followed at the back.

After I tied the thick rope around my waist, I nodded to my master and the others, took a few deep breaths, and then jumped into the mud with a "pop".

Chen Wei's prediction came true. Carrying such a heavy thing into the water means that the bones in your body are no longer your own.

As soon as I started to go down, I felt as if my whole body was out of control, falling continuously at an extremely fast speed. The pile shaft was like a bottomless abyss with no end.

Moreover, it is full of mud, which is different from diving. It is almost pitch black down there and you can't see anything, which makes you feel unsure and makes you more fearful.

The evil pit has been filled, but the Yin Qi is still a bit heavy. The diving suit is insulated, but it cannot withstand the erosion of Yin Qi.

Soon, I felt that my body was gradually becoming numb under the erosion of Yin Qi.

As I continued to sink, I finally understood why the income of the water ghost industry was so high.

This is not a human job at all!

The pressure around me became more and more intense. The force came from all directions. I wanted to squeeze out all the internal organs. Breathing gradually became difficult, and I felt a little nauseous. The food I had eaten in the morning was churning in my stomach.

It will splash out at any time.

My mind began to wander. Somehow, I thought of an experience I had in a shopping mall with Zhang Xinya some time ago. It was a place specializing in selling children's products. Against the backdrop of a sluggish economy, the entire shopping mall was a little deserted.

, but it was bustling there, and Chinese parents were always generous with their children, so the merchants also racked their brains to make as much profit as possible, and all kinds of weird gadgets came out. A huge fish tank was placed there.

Inside were some small fish less than a finger long, surrounded by all kinds of parents and children fishing for fish. One child fished out a small fish and threw it to the ground. He saw that it was still alive and held it in his hand.

Inside, he held it tightly, and then the eyes of the little fish popped out, and the internal organs were squeezed and splattered everywhere...

I feel like I am that fish now. This is not an illusion. I can really feel that my eyeballs and internal organs are about to be ejected.

So, the more difficult it became to breathe, the more I kept breathing heavily, and the more I kept sinking, the more I struggled and even tried to grab the wall of the pile shaft to ease my constant sinking.

However, all efforts are in vain and have no effect.

It wasn't until two arms suddenly wrapped around my waist that my downward trend was suddenly stopped.

But my panic did not ease at all, but became more intense. One hand instinctively touched the Tianguan Blade hanging around my waist, and the other hand grabbed the arm wrapped around my waist. It was very cold.

Some are hard and covered with scales.

"It's me!"

An eerie voice sounded in my ears.

I was startled, and then I realized that this was Tang He!

However, his voice became very strange, completely different from before, a bit neither yin nor yang, like those eunuchs in ancient times who spoke with a pinched throat.

"Relax, relax. You can't do this. The tighter you are, the more unbearable it will be. In the end, it will hurt your internal organs."

Yu He's voice continued to float in my ears.

Instead of relaxing, I felt alarm bells blaring in my heart.

I know very well that when the power of the Yin Snake Vein is poured into its body, under the influence of the Yin Evil Qi, it cannot control some behaviors at all, especially after it comes into contact with living people, sometimes drastic changes can occur in an instant.

This is also the reason why when we were separated, he and I had a tacit understanding of never seeing each other again. When the layout of Gongyang's burial was completed, it would be best not to see him again. As long as he still has a little bit of sanity, this

You should stay away from us!!

Could it be that...

Yuga seemed to guess what I was thinking, and the eerie voice sounded in my ears again: "Don't worry, I'm still me, that white deer is very useful. In fact, I am more awake now than ever, because I have time

There is not much left, and my strength is almost gone. I will help you one last time..."

Are you going to lose your mind?

I don’t understand more and more, the time has not come yet!!

"There is... a very powerful thing. It is more powerful than the thing that ran to the ground and harmed people. I almost died with him, but in the end... I am lucky to live up to my fate!"

Tang He seemed to become very tired, and his voice gradually became depressed: "It's impossible, I can't hold it anymore..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged me and suddenly fell down quickly.

After experiencing this, I gradually calmed down. At this moment, all my actions were led by Tang Hezai. I simply closed my eyes gently, my mind fell silent, and I quickly entered a state of observation.

Then, everything about Zhuangjing became clear.

Yu He's appearance...is completely different from before!

Just like what Brother Yaozi described, he was covered in scales, his hair was dark green, and there were finger-long green hairs on both sides of his cheeks. There were sharp fangs in his mouth, and even his nose was gone, as if it had been shaved off.

The same, leaving only two dark holes...

I can feel that the Yin Qi on its body is constantly dissipating.

To be precise, its soul was injured!

After all, a thousand-year evil pit is a thousand-year evil pit. Tang He, who has deprived the power of the Yin Snake Vein, is so strong that even my master cannot surrender. In my opinion, such power should be enough to flatten this evil pit.

Catching things couldn't be easier. Who would have thought that there is something under the water that is as good as it is? It should be not far from Hanba!

If...if it weren't for Tang He, if we people came in rashly, none of us would be able to get out, right? Even my master would suffer a big loss if he encountered something of this level underwater!

Soon, Tang He carried me and sank to the bottom of the pile well.

The drill bit is still left here, covered with a thick layer of mud.

Next to the drill bit, there is a secret escape passage. The secret passage is larger than the robbery hole and is circular in shape.

After falling here, Yu He suddenly changed direction and plunged into the secret escape tunnel.

Because the speed was too fast, the mud accumulated in the dark passage was washed away, and a dead face was revealed below.

To be precise, it was a human head, which came from a giant corpse and was twisted off by Tang Hesheng. When we passed by, the head was also washed up, floating in the water for a moment, and then quietly fell into the water.

In the mud.

Too many bodies!!

The entire escape tunnel was almost filled with corpses!

Tang He dragged me through the secret passage. I felt like I was rolling in a mass grave. All kinds of hideous and swollen corpses flashed before my eyes. Even though I was eating this bowl of rice, I still felt terrified.

This is purgatory on earth, who knows how many craftsmen died here!

I deal with dead people, but that doesn't mean I like looking at dead people, so I quietly withdrew from the viewing state.

The water in front of me is getting clearer and clearer, and it is gradually no longer muddy. Yuhe is moving very fast, and he carries me no matter how far he carries me. The rope has been put to my head, and I have no choice but to untie it, and then continue to carry me forward.

OK.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu He's speed gradually slowed down.

"We're here, you...be careful. That powerful thing came out from here. It's different from the things in the pit. It's a zombie, with one hand clenched and a piece of jade in its hand...

"

Tang He's light voice came, and then he said: "I think... there must be more than that one ahead, so be careful!"

The jade in the dead man's hand is not an ordinary jade, it is most likely a jade handle.

The jade handle is one of the many jade burial vessels. The ancients believed that people should not leave empty-handed when they die. Holding a jade handle represents holding wealth and power. In the Neolithic period, dead people usually held animal teeth in their hands. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties,

In that period, there were shell coins, and there were also bronze holders, but very few. It was only in the Han Dynasty that real jade holders began to be made. They were all jade pigs carved with the Han Badao technique. After the Han dynasty, they became mixed, and they could hold anything.

.

But there is one thing, jade grip, which is a symbol of status, different from those craftsmen who dig secret passages to escape!

In other words, the thing that injured Tang He's soul was most likely the owner of the tomb. Even if he wasn't, he was still an extremely important person in the tomb. It got into the pit from the tomb and was not an "indigenous person" in the pit.

.

"Your companions seem to be in trouble as well. I'll go to pick them up..."

Tang He pushed me out suddenly, his voice getting farther and farther away from me and becoming more and more ethereal.

"Thank you, really thank you, for giving me the opportunity to finally do something for my wife and daughter. I have no next life, so I can't repay you with a grass ring. I can only say... thank you!"
