C81 (1/2)

”This... ”This …” Mao Tou said while trembling: ”We haven't even opened the coffin, how did we get blown away?”

”Which one of you moved?” I asked curiously, but San Mao and the Taoist both stared with their eyes wide open, shaking their heads with a look of disbelief.

I reached out my hand to see if there was any wind, but there was no air in this confined space.

”Maybe it's because he was just soaked.” At this moment, I felt a little strange as I tried to think of the terrifying place, but immediately after, a series of ”gege gege” sounds suddenly rang out!

This sound came so suddenly, it was so clear in this extremely quiet place that it was even a bit ear-piercing.

”Chi …” Grid... Grid... Higgle... ”Tsk tsk …”

I felt a chill run down my spine. Wasn't this the same voice that had used the Morse code to tell us about the latitude and longitude of this place?

And the source of the sound... Very clearly, it came from the huge coffin in front of us!

I looked at the Taoist in disbelief and found that his face was ashen, even the normally crazy San Mao had his mouth wide open, his face filled with fear.

”This, this, this, this …” This... The King Xu Yan that the Dao Lord was talking about probably had a thousand years of history, right? How did it become a dumpling? ” Mao Tou was so scared that his teeth chattered and he trembled.

I thought to myself, Western Zhou is more than three thousand years ago, if this was a real King Xu Yan's zombie, it would be a real thousand years old corpse!

The Taoist held out a hand, signaling us not to speak. He took two deep breaths, as if suppressing his fear, and listened for a moment.

”Chi …” Grid... Grid... Higgle... ”Tsk tsk …”

The sounds continued to ring out, and it was obvious that there was someone inside the coffin … Or some monster pounding.

”It's still SOS!” After listening for a while, the Taoist raised his head and said, ”I'm afraid someone is trapped inside!”

I nodded my head in agreement. This meant that the inside of the coffin definitely wasn't a zombie from King Xu Yan. No matter what, I couldn't believe that a monster from thousands of years ago could actually understand the Morse password!

Was it MaggieQ? I was just about to suggest that I open the coffin when the light dimmed again. I looked down and saw that another candle had been put out.

Ah!” Mao Tou shouted, his eyes wide open as he stared at the extinguished candle: ”I saw, there is no wind here, the candle suddenly swayed, as if a ghost had blown on it, and extinguished by itself! The ancestor is warning us. The dumplings in the coffin are so powerful that we can't afford to offend them!

After being frightened by Mao Tou, I also felt goosebumps all over my body, and the ”hehe” inside the coffin … ”Tsk tsk …” His voice continued to ring.

What should he do? Do you want to open the coffin? I was hesitant, and looked at the Taoist and San Mao, both of them looking confused. At that moment, the sound of water came again from the pool.

I turned my head and shone the flashlight into the hole at the bottom of the pool.

”What is it? Didn't you say that this place should have a lot of water? ” I asked.

”Strange …” The Taoist scratched his head and said, ”Logically speaking, we shouldn't be in high tide so quickly …” ”Could it be …”

”Could it be what?” I asked.

The Daoist shook his head and said in disbelief, ”I once saw a formation in an ancient book. It said that the ancients could use the tide to rise and fall every month to carve out certain waterways, and these waterways would connect or block each other depending on the water level. The final goal was that after every set period of time, like every two hours, they would borrow the tide's power to pour water into the pond … It was almost an ancient clock. When I looked at it, I felt that it was incredibly powerful, as if it only existed in theory, but this … It seems to be a little like that formation! ”

”Using water as the bell?” I whispered.

”Mm …” The Daoist nodded and said, ”When the tide on one side rises, the current will flow towards the other side. When the tide falls, the water level on the other side will be higher. Because of the difference in gravity, the water will begin to flow back …” First, we have to accurately calculate the time of the flood and then carve a waterway according to the tide. As the time of the flood is different, we need to connect to several underground rivers, which is also the reason why the military didn't discover the waterway we were rushing down previously. ”

”How difficult is this?” San Mao exclaimed and said, ”This emperor is really full of food. In this underground world, no one has seen the black cloth around him. Does he want to go to court on time or something? ”
