Ghost Blows Out the Light

The militiamen rolled up the iron chain with a winch. Under the drag of the iron chain, a huge black object dripped with water and was hoisted up from the pool. Because the light source of the torch was limited, the object was dark. At first, I could only see the rough outline, round and thick, like a big water tank, but one thing is certain, it is not a water animal, but a huge object.

None of us have ever seen Taishang Laojun’s alchemy stove. Could it be that I was right? There is no such a coincidence in this world. In order to see clearly, I asked Shirley Yang to hold a flashlight to illuminate it, and I held it up myself. The torch stuck on the ground, leaning closer to take a closer look.

At this time, the entire black huge object was hoisted out of the water. The militia platoon leader and others fixed the winch, and they all came over to watch. The diameter of the pool was less than three meters, and it was more like a larger borehole. We stood By the pool, you can touch the hanging things with your hands.

Under the illumination of the torch and the flashlight, I saw it very clearly this time. I saw that it was a "big tank". At least it looked like a water tank. Yang has seen many ancient relics, and this is the first time he has seen such a strange thing. He really can't figure out what it is. Hanging in a pool of water, is this broken vat worth keeping secret?

The mouth of the cylinder is sealed, and the lid has a pointed top, which looks very heavy, and there are six bolts fastened on the side. If you want to open the cylinder head, you only need to remove these six bolts.

The "giant tank" is surrounded by holes the size of little fingers. Once it sinks into the pool, the "giant tank" can be filled with water through the holes. , the water stored in the "giant tank" will leak light, and the water tanks under the sun are all used to hold water, but the function of this "weird tank" seems to be not so simple, it has other uses.

Even the vulgar people like the militia platoon leader could see that this was not the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and couldn't help asking: "Chief Hu, why doesn't this look like the furnace of Taishang Laojun for pills? It’s a bit like the broken water tank in my house.”

I said to the platoon leader of the militia: "Comrade platoon leader, this is why you don't understand. Are there so many patterns on your water tank? Look at the simple and strange shapes of these many patterns. They must be ancient relics. You just wait for the cultural relics." Let the Bureau come and issue certificates of merit to your village soldiers."

After Shirley Yang looked at the strange vat, he was also puzzled: "This doesn't look like a water vat, it looks more like a torture tool to me."

I said to Shirley Yang: "I know what you mean. You mean put a living prisoner in a tank with a leaky hole, immerse it in a pool of water, and when he is about to drown, lift the tank out of the water and put the prisoners in it. The water is shining, there are such instruments of torture. I have seen it in movies before, and the reactionaries often use that kind of torture to torture our heroic and unyielding underground party members. But I don’t think this strange tank looks like a torture instrument. There is no need to be so meticulously carved, the patterns on this tank are extremely exquisite, and it looks like something that has been around for a long time. It is useless for us to guess randomly, go up and pull out the plug to see what is inside. Let’s talk about anything else, maybe it’s an elixir.”

The militia platoon leader stopped me and said, "Chief Hu, don't dare to open it indiscriminately. What if there is a monster sealed in the tank, what should I do if I let it out?"

I said to the militia platoon leader: "How many times have I told you that there are no monsters in this kind of place? Just now we saw the iron chains in the pool shaking. It may be that the pool is connected to an underground lake. The big fish in the lake are big." The shrimp hit this tank, so don’t be suspicious. If you still think so, I can’t help it. Let’s let the facts speak for themselves. Just back up and cover me. Let’s see how I can single-handedly remove the tank cover. Even if there are vicious monsters, they will bite me first, and I will see who dares to bite me."

They couldn't stop me, so they had to set up handcuffs and lifted me to the top of the "strange vat". But the iron chain showed no signs of being overwhelmed and broken.

I climbed to the top of the "strange vat" and touched it, only to find that the outside of the vat was covered with three layers of iron sheets painted with raw varnish. It was very strong, and it was not an ordinary vat. What is such a sturdy tank filled with? Maybe it’s really sealed with some kind of ghost, after opening it, just take a look, and if there is any situation, just seal the lid immediately.”

Shirley Yang and the militiamen stood below, looking up at me, sweating for me. They kept reminding me to be more careful. I removed the two plugs, and raised my hand to wave to the people below: "Hello, comrades, you have worked hard." Then he continued to lower his head to disassemble the next plug. These plugs have been soaked in water for a long time, but they are not rusty, and they can be pulled out with a strong pull.

I had just removed the fifth plug when suddenly the "strange vat" under my feet shook for a while, as if something in the vat was struggling vigorously. I stood on it, my footing was unstable, and I almost fell, so I hurriedly grabbed it with my hands The iron chain firmly fixes the body that has lost its center of gravity.

In fact, there is something moving in the "strange vat" hanging in the air. After all, this vat is heavy, and the swing is not large. It's just that I was unprepared, and I was jumped by it. There was a chaotic sound of "pilipala", as if something was struggling hard.

Is Professor Sun trapped inside?Soaked in the pool for so long and still not drowned?Shirley Yang and the three militiamen below also heard the voice, and they all shouted Professor Sun's name at the "weird tank", telling him not to worry, we will rescue him immediately.

There was a lot of noise in the tank, but no one answered. I was eager to save people, but I couldn't manage a lot, so I immediately pulled out the last plug. There was limited room for maneuvering on the tank, so I clasped the iron chain tightly with my hands, trying to use it. Kick off the cylinder head.

At this time, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind: "In ancient times, there was a kind of urn coffin, which used the urn as a coffin, and buried the dead in it, but it was very rare, and I have never encountered it before. , is a urn coffin, and there are dead and immortal zombies in it?"

Shirley Yang and I came to Shaanxi this time, and we also brought two flashlights, but they were all in Shirley Yang’s bag. There are no black donkeys, and it would be difficult to deal with rice dumplings, but I immediately dismissed this idea. I trust my half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Fengshui Secret Art", since according to the book, this kind of place will not If there are zombies, there definitely won’t be any. If there are really zongzi here, I’ll just tear up that half of the book when I go back. Then I gritted my teeth and kicked the cylinder head away.

The cave was already dark, and Shirley Yang and the three militiamen were holding torches below. I didn’t bring a flashlight when I came up. The torch dazzled my eyes, and I couldn't see anything. I bent down to let the people below throw a flashlight up. As soon as I bent down, I could only smell a stench straight up my nose, and I couldn't breathe.

I quickly covered my nose and glanced at the "weird tank" with my eyes. In the darkness, I saw a white hand sticking out from the post. I exclaimed in surprise, "Professor Sun?" hand, trying to pull him up.

But as soon as my hand touched the arm at the mouth of the tank, I felt something was wrong, it was wet and hard, it was a hand bone, not a living hand. By the time I thought of this, it was already too late, because I was too anxious, Pulling the hand bone, a skeleton human bone with a gaping mouth was pulled up.

Although the "strange vat" is in the air, the light source is further down, and the things in the vat cannot be seen, but the skeleton was pulled out by me, and I can see it clearly. It is white and watery. The drop was so big that I screamed in fright, fell off the tank, and fell headfirst into the pool.

The water in the deep pool was icy cold and extremely dark. I fell into it with my head down and my feet up. I was choked by the water and my nasal cavity hurt unbearably. Fortunately, I grew up on the coast of Fujian since I was a child, no matter in the military area. The swimming pool with diving platform, or the sea with high winds and rough waves, are the places where I swam with Fatty and others when I was young. Water skills were developed at that time, because I didn’t know what danger was when I was young, and I almost drowned in the water many times.

At this time, I fell into the pool, but my heart was not flustered. I opened my eyes in the water, and there was no light source. I had to swim back to the mouth of the pool immediately, otherwise I would choke to death in the water, but the surroundings were pitch black. I lost my sense of direction completely, and I couldn't hear the sound anywhere, as if I was already dead. I can hold on for half a minute at most, and it seems that I can't go back.

When I was already in despair, suddenly my eyes lit up, and someone swam towards me with a waterproof flashlight. It was none other than Shirley Yang who saw me fall into the pool. If you don't swim back within a minute, you will be drowned below. Not daring to delay, I grabbed a rope from the militiaman and jumped into the pool with a flashlight.

I knew I couldn't be brave anymore at this time, so I quickly grabbed Shirley Yang's hand, and the militiamen pulled the rope lock on it and dragged the two of us up.

Shirley Yang's face turned pale: "You old Hu, this time is really dangerous. I'll stay in the night for a few seconds... It's unthinkable that I can't talk about you."

It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I was grateful and ashamed of Shirley Yang: "I almost went to see Marx again, but I was a stranger once and acquainted with him twice, and I have been wandering around before the gate of hell more times, so I will not I'm scared. It doesn't matter if it's a few seconds late, at worst, you guys drag me up and give me a few more artificial respirations..."

Just as I was about to say a few more words, there was another burst of sound from the "strange tank" hanging in the air, as if someone was knocking on the wall of the big tank for help...
