In the dark, I touched something that seemed to be a board, and my heart was so happy that I hurried to flee. It doesn’t matter if I flee. I actually caught a cold hand in the chaos.

Chapter 35 Contact
I felt a cold hand in the dark, and I was so scared that I swam to one side and finally retreated to one side.
I was in shock, and I swore in my mouth that I had escaped from danger, but I didn’t expect that this terrible burial pit wouldn’t give me a chance to breathe. The sudden change made me wonder. In my panic, I tried my best to find my hand tube, but I found nothing after looking for it for a long time.
Ok, at this time, not far from me, there was another "Hua" ringing. Four or five He Fang and Bin all emerged from the water.
I heard Zhang Hefang’s voice first. He said, "Where are you, Mr. Fan?"
It was so dark in the cave that we couldn’t see each other’s roots. I promised "I am here"
After a while, the light of the two hand tubes came out. I saw Zhang Hefang and Bin swimming towards me. Xiaoxia and Bu Jin followed behind them.
"It seems to be an underground river here," I said, because I can clearly feel that the black water here is not static. It flows farther and deeper, and we seem to have fallen into the middle of this underground river, and we can’t see the origin or the end of the underground river.
Zhang Hefang and Bin Shouhe illuminated a very shocking picture on the river surface. Before us, we saw that the river surface of this underground river was actually filled with countless boards, which floated into the darkness in the distance like strips of bamboo rafts. These boards were arranged in a straight line and slowly moved forward.
To our great surprise, all these boards are lying with corpses. These corpses are different from the zombies we saw just now. At first glance, they look like sleeping people, and these people are all dressed in gray-blue burlap clothes. They really look like ancient wizards.
I’m curious. The air seems to circulate here, and there is an underground river. The humidity is very heavy. But if these bodies are all priests of the ancient Shu state, they have been around for thousands of years, so that the environment can be kept uncorrupted and real.
Zhang Hefang looked at these endless bodies and said, "Judging from their costumes, they are priests of the ancient Shu kingdom. We finally came to the burial pit department."
At this time, Bin and Xiaoxia swam back and boldly dragged back a piece of wood.
Pointing to the board, Bin said, "These boards should be specially treated. First, they should be coated with grease and other things, and then sealed with wax so that the water will not rot easily."
I looked at the wooden corpse with slight swelling in some places, and the skin was light purple and blue, and there seemed to be something shiny at the nose and mouth. Some research on the corpses in Xiaoxia told me that these corpses should be filled with mercury and then the surface of the corpses should be treated with some witch doctors, so that these corpses would not rot, which is understandable.
Our feet are deep, how far is the road ahead? None of us know that swimming like this is always not a way.
I looked at these planks and suddenly remembered that I had seen some programs in the mausoleum of the Qin Emperor. It is said that after the death of the Qin Emperor, a miniature map like China was built in his mausoleum, and the Qin Emperor’s coffin swam back and forth in mercury to patrol his territory. Did the ancient priests of these planks have the same idea? Of course, there is no map of the ancient Shu kingdom here. There is a river, and we can move on along the direction of the river.
After some discussion, several of us made a bold decision. We swam to the middle of the river and saw a board, so we pushed the body into the river, and then climbed the board to drift along the river. This not only saved us a lot of effort, but also gave us plenty of time to rest. God knows if there is anything deadly in this dark water.
Soon all five of us were sitting on a board, and we drifted along the river. Zhang Hefang took out the anti-inflammatory drugs in his backpack and wiped the wound. When he saw that my backpack was gone, he gave me some.
After we simply treated the wound, everyone was worried that Uncle Bao and his gang would have suffered the same situation as us. If so, did they successfully escape?
Zhang Hefang took out the walkie-talkie and dumped the water inside. The noise inside this walkie-talkie was even louder. Zhang Hefang shouted at the walkie-talkie for two "Po! Po! How are you? "
There’s a hissing sound in the intercom. Uncle Bao, they didn’t answer. Is the intercom broken?
Zhang Hefang made several attempts, but none of them simply put the walkie-talkie on for a while and concentrated on rest.
After a while, the river gradually became wider. I think this underground river is probably the recharge water for Blackpool Lake. Moreover, the influence of these wooden underground rivers and the friction currents on both sides of the river can actually drive around the bend normally according to the established route.
After we turned a corner, we suddenly found that there were a lot of flowing water eroding caves on both sides of the mountain. When we shone our hands into them, we found that there were all kinds of people sitting in those caves. They were men, women, young people and old people. The only thing in common was that they were all lifelike, and their bodies were well preserved. Compared with the wooden boards in the underground river, the status of the bodies in those caves seemed to be higher. This can be seen from their decorations. Sometimes, some old priests wearing gorgeous ancient ornaments and sitting with their eyes closed can be seen on both sides of the river bank. It looks as if they are in a circle of oil lamps.
I finally understand why the old python was so scared when he saw Lingmi. If Lingmi could really make a thousand-year-old corpse swindle, I’m afraid we would have been torn to pieces by several zombie priests at this moment, and my intuition tells me that zombie priests will be more difficult than ordinary priests.
We just drifted with the tide for nearly twenty minutes. I was exhausted and almost passed out, but at this moment, a first-line noise suddenly sounded and the whole mountain echoed back and forth.
Everyone has relaxed and prepared for a little rest. The "hissing" intercom sound makes us nervous again.
Zhang Hefang is a joy and said, "It’s Po and them."
We listened carefully to what was happening on the intercom, but found that the noise was too loud to hear what the other party said.
Zhang Hefang frowned and slammed his walkie-talkie and knocked his knee. This time, the situation improved a little, but the noise was still very loud.
The first sound from the walkie-talkie was not Bao Ye, but the old python. We vaguely heard that the old python seemed to cry a little.
Then the old python trembles out of the intercom "boss! Boss! Can you hear me? "
Zhang Hefang shouted, "Old Python, I can hear what’s going on over there. Are you still in that stone room?"
With the noise of "rushing", the old python shouted again "boss! You can hear me … using … you can reply to me. "
Zhang Hefang was anxious and shouted again, "I can hear you. Go ahead."
But obviously the walkie-talkie is now out of order. The old python seems to be unable to hear our voice. Listening to his trembling voice, he complained, "Oh, shit … what a bad card … Hey! ….. Wash … Old Yao, you hold him down … Wash … Bao Ye, don’t be impulsive … I’m an old python … Wash … You stay away from me … Liao … "
We heard these sounds intermittently, but we can still hear that something has happened over there. What’s even more disturbing is that from the old python’s words, it seems to mean something with Bao Ye-Bao Ye, don’t be impulsive. I’m an old python! Does this sentence mean that the person who attacked them was not a zombie but Bao Ye? But how is this possible?
Zhang Hefang shouted at the walkie-talkie again as a last attempt, but was stopped by Bin. Zhang Hefang looked at him and said, "Boss, don’t go out." He pointed to the front as he spoke.

——————————————————————————————————————————————
Everyone looked forward in the direction of Bin’s finger and couldn’t help but see that there was a huge stone table in the middle of the water ahead, with a mouth bigger than the huge black-purple sarcophagus, and all the boards were close to the sarcophagus.
In addition to our tributary, we can also see that there is another tributary on our left that joins here. The two tributaries converge in the shape of "Yi", and the location of the sarcophagus is the point of "Yi". Behind the sarcophagus is a place like a wide square, and at the end of the square there is a huge grotto that leads nowhere.
What’s even more amazing is that the planks in the drifting river are scattered here, that is to say, the original left drifting plank passed through the sarcophagus and changed to the right river, while the original drifting plank on our side changed to the left river. They were scattered one after another, which shocked people that the wisdom of the ancients could reach such a level.
Because at this time, I have been able to determine that the root here is not an underground river, because the natural force alone is the root method to achieve such a perfect diversion, and it seems that the drifting direction of those planks will go back and forth again after passing through the sarcophagus, and this place will keep running forever. If this is a river, nothing can change the simplest physical law. Since these planks can rotate in a circular way, there is a possibility that the water here is still stagnant, but some underground machine drives it to keep flowing so that these lying planks can patrol the burial pit back and forth to prevent anyone from invading.
However, after staying here for so long, we didn’t feel that those bodies lying on wooden boards showed signs of corpse degeneration. How can we protect the burial pit if they can’t become zombies?
I was completely immersed in this strange scene, but I didn’t expect Bin and Zhang Hefang to suddenly drop their handhelds. Bin once again woke me up and said, "Don’t make that sarcophagus seem to have moved."
I’m surprised that I won’t meet zombies here again, because along the way, there are ancient corpses everywhere along the coast and in the river, but none of them have the phenomenon of corpse degeneration, so I unconsciously relaxed my vigilance.
I didn’t dare to make a sound after listening to bin’s words. It was in the dark that I looked in the direction of the sarcophagus. Surprisingly, the sarcophagus was as green and shiny as the hexagonal coffin in the front stone room
I held my breath and gradually found that the sarcophagus was really moving. The sarcophagus lid was moving very slowly. The root was not like the shadow play. The coffin lid was torn off by the zombies inside. The zombies in this sarcophagus should have been awakened by the voice we just shouted.
Gradually, the sarcophagus lid made a magnificent friction, and in a short time, the sarcophagus lid was pushed by half. Suddenly, a hand with a light halo attached to the skin leaned out of the sarcophagus and buckled the sarcophagus wall.
Seeing that the sarcophagus has changed, and our board keeps approaching the sarcophagus, I have a strong impulse to jump into the water as soon as I get to my throat.
However, if you jump into the water rashly, it will cause a louder noise, so maybe the situation will get worse.
As soon as I hesitated, the thing in the sarcophagus suddenly sat up. When he sat up, I suddenly found that the height of the thing was beyond my imagination. Judging from his clothes, I can be sure that he is sitting in the sarcophagus at the moment, but even so, his bust is comparable to that of ordinary adults. Is this an ancient giant wizard?
Soon, our planks have drifted to a distance of less than 20 meters from the sarcophagus, and this distance is constantly shortening.
Well, the guy who sat up from the management didn’t get too excited. He wore a purple robe in a big talk and seemed to be asleep for a long time. For a long time, no one or living thing could appear here to disturb his sleep, but our appearance broke the supposed peace here.
That thing sat up, his eyes glazed forward, and he didn’t notice that we were separated for a while. When his neck suddenly turned, he heard a "quack" sound, which sounded like a moving sound. His face looked at the river on our side.
Zhang Hefang and others, including Bu Jin, and I were very scared. We quickly lay down on the wooden board and pretended to be a dead body. My heart said that this thing was still a zombie no matter how sensitive it was, it was impossible to find us in such a dark environment.
But even so, when I saw the face of that thing, I was shocked. The face of that thing was almost exactly the same as that of the rough stone statue we came in, with two eyes protruding more than ten centimeters and the eyebrow of that thing seemed to have a third eye.
Obviously, that thing has found our five planks, but the situation is as I expected. He thinks there is something strange about our five planks, but he doesn’t really see that we are not corpses. He curled his head and seemed to doubt whether he was overthinking it. After a while, when our planks were about to approach him, he slowly lay down in the sarcophagus, and we finally let a heart hang.
Zhang Hefang pointed to the back of the sarcophagus at the front, which means that we should not stay on the board any more, but we should go there.
