    "Wait." Bao Le said suddenly.

    This is no time to wait, Young Master Shen, who has always been known for being calm and calm, can't calm down now, he guesses that Bao Le will only be more panicked now.But he didn't have the intention to appease her. When he was racing against time, he would rather spend his time thinking of ways.

    On the contrary, it was Bao Le who, from the sound of the walkie-talkie, remained calm.

    "I found something, I don't know if it will work."

    Bao Le wiped the wall with his sleeve for a long time, and confirmed that it was not her illusion, but that there were really writings on the wall—one of the walls actually had the word "Gengshen" written on it.Before she came down, she heard from Shen Wangyan about his conjecture that the ten horizontal lines and twelve vertical lines on the eighth chessboard wall might correspond to the heavenly stems and earthly branches.What he said was that if it was a heavenly stem and earthly branch, then the "Gengshen" corresponding to the pressed piece should echo the action in 1920.

    At that time, she felt that this brain hole was too big, and she was more willing to study it from the totem of the chess piece itself. Although she found nothing in the end, she still kept Shen Wangyan's guess in her mind.

    "I saw Geng Shen."

    When Shen Wangyan heard her words, he immediately looked at the stone wall behind him.

    Bao Le turned around again along the eight walls, and finally found two words at the bottom of the other wall that was submerged in water. After repeatedly groping with his fingers, he finally confirmed: "Bingchen!"

    "Is this the password?"

    Jiang Ning also walked to the chessboard wall, and she and Shen Wangyan looked at each other.It's not that Shen Wangyan hadn't thought about pressing these pieces before. In fact, he really tried to press them, but he couldn't press them down. don't know if it was because he pressed the wrong pieces.

    Just as Shen Wangyan stretched out his hand to try again, Jun Zhi took a step forward and grabbed his wrist, his eyes resting on the back of his hand.Only then did Shen Wangyan remember that he had wiped the blood with the back of his hand casually before, but now is the time to take these things into consideration.

    Young Master Shen felt a little helpless: "Saving people is the most important thing."

    Jun Zhi let go, protected Shen Wangyan behind his back, and pressed on the chess piece at the position of "Bingchen" for him.When he pressed it, he actually pressed the chess piece into the chessboard.Jun Zhi didn't stop after pressing the chess piece, but moved closer to the chessboard, feeling the vibration behind the stone wall with his hands and ears.

    Ordinary people may not be able to distinguish these sounds, but Jun Zhi has always been able to listen to the sound and distinguish the position, even if it is a very slight vibration.He was almost sure that the mechanism behind the stone wall was connected to the entire tomb, and they should have pressed it correctly just now.Judging from the sound of the interval between the organs, there are still eight such passwords, which just correspond to the number of heavenly branches.

    Jun Zhi turned around and nodded towards Shen Wangyan.

    "Is there any more words?" Shen Wangyan asked Bao Le.

    When the little girl heard him ask this question, she thought that the words she found just now must have played a role, so she suddenly became motivated and searched more carefully.

    She said: "It's gone down there, but I guess it's still there on the upper wall."

    Shen Wangyan had a plan in mind: "Bao Le, I need you to do one thing."

    Bao Le took off his jacket and boots and stood in the water barefoot.It was terribly hot before, but now I am really uncomfortable standing in the cold water.The water has covered her thighs, and will soon cover her whole body.She took a deep breath, recalling the swimming formula Shen Wangyan taught her just now.

    But how reliable is the formula, everything depends on her practice to gain true knowledge.

    "There is good news." Shen Wangyan said suddenly.

    Accompanied by his voice, a thin rope was sent from the crack of the stone top. This is the rope used to tie things before. It is not as strong as the climbing rope, but the advantage is that it is relatively thin.sent in.

    Bao Le doubted: "Is this thing really useful?"

    "It's better than nothing." Young Master Shen comforted her.

    Bao Le tied the rope around her waist three or four times, and now the water had already covered her chin.She raised her right hand to make sure the walkie-talkie didn't get wet, she didn't think it was waterproof.Once the water was able to cover his mouth, Bao Le looked up and took a deep breath, buried his face in the water, restlessly lifted his feet off the ground, and paddled the water randomly, trying to float himself up.However, such careless paddling did not make her float at first, but she choked on several saliva.

    Shen Wangyan only felt that the other end of the rope was suddenly pulled down for a while. He didn't dare to pull the rope too hard for fear of breaking it, so he could only ask her what was wrong through the walkie-talkie.

    Bao Le poked his head out of the water again, and quickly took a few breaths of fresh air.She didn't care as much as Shen Wangyan did, so she quickly pulled the rope around her waist and jumped up from the water surface. Although she still felt unable to maintain her balance, she was still floating on the water surface.She held the walkie-talkie in her mouth, and followed Shen Wangyan's verbal teaching before, paddling the water back and forth horizontally, and kicking the water with her legs in a breaststroke position.After a while, she really found a balance point for her, gradually adapted to the feeling of floating in the water, and even slowly swam towards the designated direction.

    The light stick plastic is very light and can float on the water. Bao Le broke all the light sticks on his body in one breath, and scattered them on the surrounding water.

    Once she swims to a wall, use the closest glow stick around to illuminate it.

    There is a third password on the wall in front of her now. Under the pink fluorescent light, there are two words written very clearly.

    "I have not."

    The little girl took the walkie-talkie in her mouth and shouted loudly.

    On the other side, Jun Zhi by the wall pressed the corresponding chess piece, listened to the movement for a while, and then nodded.

    Another voice came from the intercom: "Hey, do you think I have a talent for swimming? I hypnotized myself. I am a piece of wood, I am a piece of wood, so I will float!"

    "..." Young Master Shen felt his head hurt even more.

    Bao Le said again: "Boss Shen, talk."

    Shen Wangyan couldn't take it anymore: "Save a little energy."

    "But the water is so cold. If I don't speak, I feel like I'm going to turn into ice. Then you won't be able to hear my voice in a while."

    No one thought about the water temperature, which made everything tricky.Previously, Shen Wangyan felt at most that although she could not swim, it was a human instinct to float in the water, and it must not be difficult for her to do it with her intelligence.And from his calculations, even if she expends a little more energy in order to find a balance point at the beginning, her energy consumption should be able to keep up with the 20 minutes of filling the water.

    But if the water temperature is too low, all this is not necessarily the case.

    "Prepare for the worst."

    Shen Wangyan didn't say these words into the walkie-talkie, the worst plan was to blow up the stone roof.

    "Bao Le," Jiang Ning took the walkie-talkie, "Do you know what is the most valuable in your master's Yuan Baozhai?"

    The next password is on the opposite wall. In order to get there before the water submerges the word, Bao Le expended too much energy all of a sudden.Fortunately, caught up with it, and under the orange fluorescent light, could vaguely make out what was written.

    "Ren Chen," the little girl hummed twice after reporting the password, "I know, I've only seen that cigarette pouch with a gold-dotted colored glass mouth twice, the old man is really stingy."

    The password "Chen" this time is the same as before, but judging from Jun Zhi's voice, it is not wrong.This is not good news. If the password is repetitive, it means that even if there is only the last password left, there are many possibilities.The above people have no way to calculate the rest based on the previously known password.

    The key to everything lies in Bao Le.

    Jiang Ning and Bao Le chatted one after another, and when they reached the eighth password, Jiang Ning glanced at Shen Wangyan.Since the last password, Baole began to pant heavily, and his physical strength had almost reached its limit.Jiang Ning prolonged the time of talking with her, trying to let herself say a few more words, occasionally telling two interesting stories, Baole wanted to laugh, but she didn't have the energy.

    Shen Wangyan turned his head and signaled Shen San to fetch the explosives.

    Bao Le in the water felt that his body temperature was slowly passing away, and his paddling legs were getting heavier and heavier, as if he didn't listen to her instructions. He lost his balance and choked on a few sips of water before he managed to regain his senses.Seeing that the last two passwords were separated by two walls, not too far away, she pulled herself together for the last time.

    "There is a ghost!" Bao Le shouted

    Jiang Ning was obviously frightened by her.

    The little girl said again hahaha: "I mean 'Guiyou'."

    Jiang Meiren's face was calm, angry and helpless, and she couldn't get angry at her at this time.

    The sudden loud sound just now was like a flashback, the little girl choked on two more mouthfuls of water, and the bone-chilling water temperature finally spread to her hand holding the walkie-talkie.She stared at her hand, feeling like a double image, and approached the talking port angrily: "Jiang Ning, I'm so cold, what should I do if I can't swim anymore."

    Jiang Ning didn't hear it, and Bao Le didn't even realize that he didn't press the call button just now.

    The water level rose little by little, and seeing that the distance to the zenith was only a few tens of centimeters, Bao Le kicked the wall with the last bit of strength to make her approach the last password.

    Seeing that the final password could be seen clearly, Bao Le trembled suddenly, and the momentary numbness caused by calf cramps made her eyes dark for a while. In such a situation, one of the walkie-talkies in her right hand lost her grip and fell into thein the water.

    The tenacious little girl did not sink in this, the pain brought her a brief sobriety.Seeing the walkie-talkie falling into the water, she almost didn't think about it. She took a deep breath, plunged into the water, and reached out desperately to grab the walkie-talkie.In fact, at that time, she was already in a state of being unable to think, so she didn't care about whether the walkie-talkie could be used even if she picked it up, all her movements were mechanical habits.

    The moment she sank into the water, she seemed to have come to a huge underwater world.The underwater light was dim, it was a very deep blue, the light came from nowhere, spread layer upon layer from top to bottom, forming mottled light and shadows, which made her feel as if she was having a grotesque dream.

    Before Bao Le lost consciousness, she stretched out her hand and saw something fiery red wrapping her inside.

    Before she had time to realize what it was, suddenly her ankle was pulled down forcefully, she didn't hold her breath, and a large amount of water poured into Bao Le's mouth and nose crazily.

    There's something underwater!

    She didn't even know that at this time, her muddy mind could still make such a precise judgment.

    There seemed to be a distant and deep bell ringing in my ears.

    As soon as she opened her eyes, she and the thing looked at each other very close.

    That thing was hanging upside down, with a human face and a monkey body, with a black beard and hair, scattered in the water, almost filling most of the pool, like seaweed.

    "Water monkey," that's what they call the creature.

    Bao Le stretched her arms and kicked her legs desperately, she even heard the sharp roar of the water monkey underwater, accompanied by that damn bell, almost dragging her into hell.

    The ankle injury she suffered the night before had already been bandaged by Jun Zhi, but now the wound was torn open again when she was struggling, and before she had time to hurt, she saw bloodshot from the wound.The moment the water monkey touched her blood, it seemed like her blood was some kind of poison. It screamed and disappeared in an instant.

    "Twenty-two minutes," Shen Wangyan glanced at his watch, "Something must have happened. Wait, Shen San..."

    Jiang Ning stopped him: "If she's still floating on the water, the explosive|explosive will kill her if it goes down."

    They are all aware of this, but as time goes by, the water level will get higher and higher, and when the water level is full, Bao Le will also drown in the water.

    The two were at a stalemate, but Jun Zhi, who was close to the chessboard wall, frowned.

    "Quiet."

    Shen Wangyan and Jiang Ning looked at him at the same time, and saw that Jun Zhi quickly returned to their side, bent down, and put his ear on the altar floor.Everyone held their breath, not wanting to disturb Junzhi. In that short tens of seconds, in an environment so quiet that only his heartbeat remained, he heard a faint voice. Although it was weak, he tried his best toWith average strength, he knocked rhythmically on the stone top of the altar...

    "Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom."

    Jun Zhi synchronously knocked out the sound he heard.

    Shen Wangyan lowered his eyes briefly, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Jun Zhidao: "The song of Niu Niu?"

    Jun Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he hurried to the chessboard wall, and pressed the last password——

    Xin Chou.

    The stone top of the altar shook, and everyone took two steps back, only to see the stone top slowly shrinking to both sides.

    The water in the secret passage was cold and turbid, and the water level almost coincided with the lower edge of the stone roof. There were yellow dry grass floating on the water surface, as well as those colorful light sticks that Bao Le carried with him.

    No one saw Bao Le.

    Shen Wangyan's composure was gone, he knelt down to push the dry grass away from the water.Jiang Ning and Jun Zhi also joined him, and they salvaged the fluorescent sticks.But the water in the secret passage was too turbid, and the visibility was very low. They could hardly see anything underwater.

    Jun Zhi began to take off his clothes, ready to go into the water to find someone himself.

    Suddenly, bubbles appeared on the calm water surface, and Bao Le under the water struggled desperately towards the last light she could only see with her last breath.The moment she surfaced, she felt redeemed.

    Bao Le opened his eyes weakly, good guy, everyone is here to welcome her!

    Stretching out two hands, now she has no strength to climb up by herself, but at the moment she stretched out her hand, Jiang Ning and Jun Zhi each stretched out a hand and grabbed her almost at the same time.He pulled her up forcefully.

    The little girl was drenched all over, her hair stuck to her face, and she was trembling from eyelashes to lips.After landing, Bao Le threw himself into their arms, hugging them tightly from one side to the other. All the grievances and fears poured out at that moment, turning into soft sobs.

    That is a kind of venting called "survival after catastrophe".

    Jun Zhi took off his coat and carefully covered her body.Jiang Ning also took the towel from Shen San, and lowered her head to wipe the water droplets on Bao Le's face and hair.

    Although Shen Wangyan looked at Baole, he was the only one who noticed a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness and then disappeared.Young Master Shen frowned slightly, but looking at Bao Le who was crying all the time, he didn't choose to speak out at that time.
