Already stretched out two fingers in Rex who this waited, first has referred to the top of the head, then directional water tunnel deep place. 早已在此等待的雷克斯伸出两根手指,先是指了指头顶,接着指向水洞深处。 Simbad has made a clear hand signal. 辛巴迪打了个明白的手势。 The former nods, has turned around to walk toward the hole. 前者点点头,转过身向着洞内走去。 His raised head, is gazing at float, in air conduit-- three days of opposite party top of the head underwater walks besides the elementary operation eo of familiar diving attire, is studies the process of sign language and diving detail. And observes the conditions of two tracheae when necessary is most important, this is also the fishing one of reasons needs two people to cooperate. 他则抬起头,注视着悬浮在对方头顶的输气管——三天的水下行走除了熟悉潜水装束的基本操作外,也是学习手语和潜水细节的过程。其中随时观察两根气管的状态更是重中之重,这亦是打捞需要两个人协作的原因之一。 As maintaining the channel of breath, leather hose another end is connecting the air pump of Steam engine actuation, inflates toward, while pumps air outward, making the air in helmet throughout maintain unimpeded. Regardless of which pipe presents the breakage or stops up, the consequence is dreadful. Therefore when passing through complex terrain and change direction, must pay attention to be good specially. 作为维持呼吸的通道,皮管另一端连接着蒸汽机驱动的气泵,一边往里灌气,一边往外抽气,使得头盔里的空气始终保持畅通。无论哪根管子出现破损或堵塞,后果都不堪设想。因此在穿过复杂地形和改变方向时,一定要特别注意才行。 After seeing the hole withstand/top anything unable to threaten the barrier of air conduit, Simbad also strides leaps, sneaked in the water tunnel. 见洞顶并没有什么能威胁到输气管的障碍后,辛巴迪也跨步一跃,钻进了水洞。 Near the ear surge sound reduced immediately, he can hear the fizz that the tire valve hears clearly, as well as own heartbeat. 耳边的浪涌声顿时消减了许多,他能清楚地听到气门传来的嘶嘶声,以及自己的心跳。 After marching forward probably more than ten meters, the ray becomes more and more dark, is looking at the front Rex's fuzzy back, he felt that oneself seems advancing to the abyss. 大概行进十余米后,光线变得越来越幽暗,望着前方雷克斯模糊的背影,他感觉自己似乎正在迈向深渊。 At this moment, the ground of under foot lifts suddenly upwardly, turned into the gentle slope from a section of level road. 就在这时,脚下的地面忽然向上抬起,从一段平路变成了缓坡。 Was less than half quarter, Simbad saw sea level-- unexpectedly once more its no longer golden light twinkle, but was ordinary just like the curtain of night. 不到半刻钟,辛巴迪竟再次看到了海面——它不再金光闪烁,而是宛如夜幕一般沉静。 Surfaces with Rex slowly, he has cannot help but turned very quiet, sees only a big cavern presents before two people. Its most outline is hidden in the darkness, only then a vault flake region was mapped the come in ray to illuminate by the sea water, revealed that is swaying the clear wave light quiet blue color. 跟着雷克斯缓缓浮出水面,他不由得屏住了呼吸,只见一个偌大的洞穴呈现在两人面前。它的大半个轮廓都隐没在黑暗中,只有穹顶一小片区域被海水映射进来的光线所照亮,显露出晃荡着粼粼波光的幽蓝色。 Is this water tunnel unexpectedly inside and outside one connected channel? 这个水洞竟然是一段内外相连的通道？ He climbs up the shore strenuously, is planning to take down the helmet, had actually been blocked by Rex. 他吃力地爬上岸,正打算取下头盔,却被雷克斯拦了下来。 The fjord people take out a waterproof oil lamp from the belt-bag, after lighting the wick, observed has picked the opening helmet a while, „shouted...... It seems like here is not together deathtrap.” 峡湾人从腰包中取出一盏防水油灯,点燃灯芯后观察了好一阵子才摘开头盔,“呼……看来这里并不是一块死地。” „Has...... Wind?” After Simbad relieves hood, immediately felt the faint trace cool feeling of passing over gently and swiftly cheek. “有……风？”辛巴迪解除头罩后顿时感受到了掠过面颊的丝丝凉意。 „Yeah, is the cavern still has other exit|to speak probably.” The Rex excited say/way, „then, found the treasure the possibility to be also big several points of-- our luck here really to be good.” “嗯,大概是洞穴还存在着别的出口。”雷克斯兴奋道,“如此一来,在这儿找到宝物的可能性又大了几分——我们的运气还真不错。” Simbad poured to be able to find the thing interest not to be big, what he cared was security situation in hole. Has not thought that under the desert will form the empty terrain unexpectedly, this simply has been above the common sense. Depth not over 20 meters that they dive, even if there is a rock layer surely not to be thick, how these loose sand will support a large-scale cavern? Can the vault collapse? These questions make him faintly somewhat restless. 辛巴迪倒对能不能找到好东西兴趣不大,他更在意的是洞里的安全情况。没想到沙漠下方居然会形成空洞地形,这简直超乎了常理。他们下潜的深度不会超过20米,就算有岩层也必定不会太厚,那些松散的沙子是如何支撑起一个大型洞穴的？穹顶会不会坍塌？这些疑问都让他隐隐有些不安。 After exiting, was good to the Greycastle person this sighting report, Simbad thought that although a little did not do right by Wonder Objects Society, but here was not far from the Daqing port, he did not hope to have any accident/surprise. 等到出去后,还是把这个发现报告给灰堡人好了,辛巴迪心想,虽然有点对不住奇物会,但这里离大庆港并不远,他不希望发生任何意外。 „Wind as if came from that direction,” Rex places near the helmet the puddle, raised the oil lamp saying that „we had a look in the past.” “风似乎是从那个方向过来的,”雷克斯将头盔放在水潭边,提起油灯道,“我们过去看看吧。” Simbad has to draw out the waist sword, followed slowly. 辛巴迪只好拔出腰刀,缓缓跟了上去。 However along with the deepening of exploration, he only thought that this cavern is even more strange. 然而随着探索的深入,他只觉得这洞穴越发奇怪。 The rock of under foot turned into the soft soil in a while unexpectedly, then bunches of green grass have substituted for the slippery moss, as if here is not underground, but is the Silver River oasis is ordinary. 脚下的岩石没过多久竟变成了松软的土壤,接着一簇簇绿草取代了湿滑的青苔,仿佛这里不是地底,而是银川绿洲一般。 „Inconceivable, here can grow unexpectedly the green leaf plant,” Rex exclaims, „I also think that the non- light underground will only have the mushroom and moss exists.” “不可思议,这里居然能生长出绿叶植物,”雷克斯惊叹道,“我还以为无光的地底只会有蘑菇和苔藓存在。” „Or...... We went back first,” Simbad hesitantly said, „I always thought here--” “要不……我们先回去好了,”辛巴迪迟疑道,“我总觉得这里——” Told only half that he was shocked suddenly. 说到一半他忽然愣住了。 „How thought here?” Rex quite a while has not obtained Echo, cannot help but backward looks, „Yeah? You are looking at anything...... A flower?” “觉得这里怎么了？”雷克斯半天没有得到回音,不由得向后望去,“嗯？你在看什么……一朵花？” Simbad only thought that breath rapid several points, puts an attractive little flower in his foot, the flower petal is being the light purple, the leaf blade almost thin as cicada wing, as if will pinch gently to break to pieces to be the same. „This is...... The flower of god's envoy......” 辛巴迪只觉得呼吸都急促了几分,在他的脚边盛放着一朵漂亮的小花,花瓣呈淡紫色,叶片几乎薄如蝉翼,仿佛轻轻一捏就会碎掉一样。“这是……神使之花……” „Is very rare?” “很稀有？” „No...... It once everywhere was.” Simbad said in a low voice, „I, although does not have personally to see, but in the legends of concerned three god's envoy, this plants flowers to proliferate area the coast, is ordinary like a purple satin ribbon, is the Extreme Southern Region most gorgeous sea of flowers.” “不……它曾经到处都是。”辛巴迪低声道,“我虽然没有亲眼见过,但在有关三神使者的传说中,这种花遍布于沿海一带,就像一条紫色的缎带一般,也是极南境最绚丽的花海。” „In desert...... Has sea of flowers?” Rex is startled to say. “沙漠里……有花海？”雷克斯怔道。 „Handed down here long ago is not the desert, but same proliferated the trees, prairies and rivers with the north side.” He shakes the head, „along with departures of three god's envoy, the earth gradually the desertification, turned into the present appearance. But I want to say is not the flower of this-- god's envoy has very detailed record in the legend, once it takes root not to be then able to move again, reason that this is in the oasis does not have sea of flowers. It should already exterminate to......” “相传这里在很久以前并不是沙漠,而是和北边一样遍布树木、草原与河流。”他摇摇头,“不过随着三神使者的离开,大地才渐渐沙化,变成了如今的模样。但我想说的不是这个——神使之花在传说中有着十分详细的记述,它一旦生根便无法再挪动,这也是绿洲里没有花海的原因。它应该早就灭绝了才对……” „Originally also has such a matter.” The fjord people smacked the lips, „perhaps because the desertification has not affected the underground cavity, let take root in this 's detailed work of god's envoy by chance.” “原来还有这么回事。”峡湾人咂了咂嘴,“或许正是因为沙化没有影响到地下空洞,才让恰巧植根于此的神使之花活了下来。” Really so...... Simbad unusual feeling at heart is even more intense, why does not know, walks in this dim world, he has to plant to walk the feeling on oasis. 真是如此么……辛巴迪心里的异样感愈发强烈起来,不知为何,走在这个昏暗的世界中,他却有种行走在绿洲上的感觉。 But all around red indigo is also crowded gradually, accidentally does not grow completely likely in underground general. 而四周的紫花也逐渐密集起来,完全不像是偶然生长在地下的一般。 When he is hesitating whether must continue to go forward, the under foot has transmitted „kā chā” suddenly a light sound. 就在他犹豫着是否还要继续前进时,脚下忽然传来了“咔嚓”一声轻响。 Then together the soft light blooms from the soil, has illuminated the scopes of surrounding area several meter/rice. 接着一道柔光从泥土中绽放出来,照亮了方圆数米的范围。 „What situation?” Rex asked with amazement. “什么情况？”雷克斯惊讶地问道。 „I...... I stepped on anything probably,” Simbad has swallowed a saliva, „as if likely block plank.” “我……我好像踩到了什么,”辛巴迪咽了口唾沫,“似乎像块木板。” „Is the trap?” He bent down hastily, caresses by the foot flowers and plants with the hand, „this is--, haha...... Hahaha......” “难道是陷阱？”他连忙俯下身,用手抚开脚旁的花草,“这是——哈,哈哈……哈哈哈……” Hears laughter of this echo in hole, Simbad felt that the fine body hair has set upright, „has anything to be funny, hello, you told me first that are anything!” 听到这回响在洞中的笑声,辛巴迪感到寒毛都竖了起来,“有什么好笑的,喂,你先告诉我那到底是什么啊！” „Hahaha, is the treasure! We found the treasure!” The Rex excited say/way, „you look quickly!” “哈哈哈,是宝物啊！我们找到宝物了！”雷克斯激动道,“你快看！” After he caresses completely the soil, Simbad saw surprisedly, the ray came from thing of-- that under foot is -and-a-half sections bury in underground „stele”, above is spreading the innumerable traces, is crowded just likes the fingerprint is ordinary. The ray is centered on his foot four shoot, results in the shape the monument complementing like white jade. May look like the quality of material is freely hard, its touch actually likely decayed wood/blockhead, slightly makes an effort then to undercut little, goes beyond the range that the general knowledge has been able to understand completely. 当他将泥土全部抚开后,辛巴迪惊讶地看到,光芒正是来自于脚下之物——那是一截半埋于地底的“石碑”,上面蔓延着无数纹路,密集得恍如指纹一般。光芒便以他的脚为中心四射而出,将碑体映衬得形如白玉。可尽管看起来质地坚硬,它的触感却像腐朽的木头,稍微用力便会下陷少许,完全超出了常识能理解的范围。 What is more unthinkable, once moves out of the way the foot, the monument surface gradually will return to the original condition, the ray also will dissipate simultaneously, all that as if saw a moment ago are the illusions. 更匪夷所思的是,一旦把脚挪开,碑体表面又会渐渐恢复原状,同时光芒也会随之消散,仿佛刚才所看到的一切都是幻觉。 „Ratio this more mysterious treasure!” Rex is stepping on „stele” repeatedly, in high spirits say/way, „, if can give to King of Greycastle this, the honor explorer title belongs to me absolutely!” “还有比这更神奇的宝物吗！”雷克斯反复踩着“石碑”,兴高采烈道,“如果能把这个献给灰堡之王,荣誉探险家称号绝对非我莫属！” „But...... It was also too big,” Simbad is, light from revealing the scrap, „stele” the whole likely adds to be bigger than them, wants to move from the water tunnel is far from an easy matter. “可是……它也太大了,”辛巴迪为难道,光从露出的这一小块来看,“石碑”的整体很可能比他们两个加起来还要大,想要从水洞里搬出去绝非易事。 „Means are the person think that so long as uses one's head, certainly can find the method. Can we look for another exit|to speak-- of cavern?” Rex stopped suddenly, „there as if also has one.” “办法是人想的,只要多动脑筋,就一定能找到方法。或者我们可以去找洞穴的另一个出口——咦？”雷克斯忽然停了下来,“那儿似乎还有一块。” Simbad forwarded several steps following his vision, really stepped on one same „stele”. Taking advantage of ray that it sends, more iron grey outlines appear in sea of flowers. 辛巴迪顺着他的目光向前走了几步,果然又踩到了一块同样的“石碑”。借着它发出来的光芒,更多灰白色的轮廓出现在花海之中。 „This also has, that also had......” two people to walk dozens meters following these steles, from the beginning also silent number/count quantity, but quick has then cancelled this thought. “这也有,那也有……”两人循着这些石碑走了数十米,一开始还默数着数量,但很快便打消了这一念头。 The short distance, the flower of god's envoy had been covered by more and more steles, regardless of they stop over where, will have the ray to shine. 短短一段距离,神使之花已被越来越多的石碑所覆盖,无论他们在何处落脚,都会有光芒亮起。 Until a giant wall keeps off before two people. 直到一堵巨大的墙垣挡在两人面前。 „My God......” Rex has held breath a cold air. “我的天哪……”雷克斯倒吸了口凉气。 Simbad felt similarly a chill in the air, his raised head comes-- slowly under shine of soft light, the outline of stone wall shows little. They discovered that is not „wall”, but is the innumerable monuments piles the hill that forms together. 辛巴迪同样感到了一丝寒意,他慢慢抬起头来——在柔光的映照下,石墙的轮廓一点点展现出来。他们发现,那并不是什么“墙”,而是无数碑体堆在一起形成的小山。 Some of them are incomplete, some succeed in giving up several sections, but the majority of shapes look like together the upright cuboid, talking into is the tablet is not overrated a little. But when their lying this way and that rampart when the same place, has actually given a Simbad another feeling. 它们有的残缺不全,有的断成数截,但大部分形状都像一块方方正正的长方体,说成是碑一点儿也不为过。可当它们横七竖八垒在一起时,却给了辛巴迪另一种感觉。 -- buried " coffin " . ——被埋葬的「棺材」。
