249, Aqueduct
"Second grandfather, do you know all this? When did that sinkhole come about, and who built the deep well inside the sinkhole and the stone stairs that go down from the wall of the sinkhole?" I asked.
The second grandfather shook his head and said, "I was just on the top of the mountain and saw the pillar of light rising into the sky. only to find there. ”
I couldn't help but be a little stunned, not knowing what that thing was.
But when my eyes couldn't help but see the waterfall in front of me, like a silver chain, I was suddenly stunned.
The water in the Qianlong Abyss contains a kind of aura, which can also stimulate the growth of plants.
And the pillar of light emitted from the sinkhole has the same function.
This can't help but make me have a very wonderful association with the relationship between the two.
I hurriedly asked the second grandfather: "That well, the bottom is very wide, I want to know, is there anything else in it besides that one?"
The second grandfather thought for a while, and then said, "There is also a small waterhole in there. ”
"Waterhole?" a smile curled up at the corner of my mouth, looking at the deep pool in front of me, and remembering what the second grandfather had just said.
My second grandfather told me that he had tried to dive underwater to see what was under the water.
This sentence suddenly made me think the same way.
However, I already have seven points in my heart, if my prediction is correct, this waterhole should be connected with the waterhole at the bottom of the sinkhole.
After drinking the tea in the cup in one gulp, I stood up excitedly and said to the second grandfather: "Second grandfather, how far is that sinkhole from us?"
The second grandfather said: "There is only one mountain apart, and standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the situation on that side. ”
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something from my question, and quickly said: "Feng'er, do you doubt that this waterhole is connected with the waterhole at the bottom of the well?"
I nodded and said, "Exactly, they all have the effect of promoting the growth of plants, but from what you just said, it is even more effective in the sinkhole, so I believe that there may be some kind of connection between them." ”
"Then what do you want to do next?" the second grandfather asked as he looked at me seriously.
I said, "I want to go down and see, I have true qi to protect my body, and there should be no problem in diving underwater for a short time." ”
"Well," the second grandfather nodded in agreement, and instructed me, "It's better for you to go down and have a look, maybe you can really find the connection between the two." However, even if you can get over, don't touch the pillar again like you did last night. ”
"Well, I'll be careful. ”
With that, I took off most of my clothes and warmed up in the gazebo.
Urging the true qi in my body and protecting my eyes, ears, mouth and nose, I walked out of the pavilion and found a place on the open water, and a fierce man plunged into it.
The water in the pool was cold, and even though it was summer, the chill inside was still very heavy.
I held my breath and swam towards the bottom of the pool. The deeper I went, the less light came through the water, and after ten minutes, when my hands really touched the bottom of the pool, I looked up and saw that the surface of the pool was almost the size of a coin.
Frowning slightly, his eyes gradually adjusting to the darkness.
At this time, I realized that there was a crack in the wall of the well on the bottom side of the water.
Swimming along the crack, a calm underground passage stretched into the darkness deep in the mountain's belly.
I mustered up the courage to swim straight into the darkness.
It's been too long to hold my breath, and I don't want to die here.
As I pushed deeper, I became more and more frightened. Marvel at how smooth the cave wall of this tunnel is, and the shape of the cave is almost perfectly round.
Naturally, such a miracle could not have happened, I thought as I struggled forward.
At this time, I suddenly noticed that at the bottom of the cave that was as smooth and clear as water, there was a fiery red thing, lying quietly at the bottom of the water, motionless, like a fiery red jewel.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but be stunned.
I swam over quickly, dived to the bottom of the cave, and carefully picked up the fiery red bead and held it in my mouth.
I know that this thing is definitely not simple, and it probably has something to do with that magical light.
After swimming a long distance forward, I faintly saw a glimmer of light shining in through the water in front of me.
It seems that the place I am looking for is almost over.
Picking up my pace, I soon swam to another well wall.
Coming out of that well, I took a hard breath and looked at the bottom of the well I had first gone down.
Jumping out of the water, I finally figured out why there was a faint purple gas in that pool. Why does that water have such miraculous effects?
Standing at the bottom of this well again, looking at the jade-like pillar not far away. Let me burst out with infinite pride in my heart!
Nowadays, many of the secrets of the Pentateuch family are no longer secrets to me.
The only secret is that only the pillar in front of you remains.
At the bottom of this well, except for this small waterhole and the smooth pillar, there was nothing superfluous, and I looked at it for a long time, but I could not figure out what the isolated jade pillar was.
And to figure out the origin of the column, I think we can only really understand it when we gather the five pieces of jade.
Sitting cross-legged on the edge of the pool, I opened my mouth and spit out the round, fiery red bead in my mouth, and put it in front of my eyes to look at it carefully.
In the faint light, the bead emits a reddish glow, which is very pleasant.
I don't know, what the hell is this.
But I'm sure this thing must not be ordinary.
Taking him back into my mouth, I took a deep breath and prepared to go back the way I came, to take a good look at the place of the bead, and there was nothing else in the place of the bead.
This time I was able to swim to the middle of the previous walk, and I remember very well that it was where I had picked up the beads.
Frowning slightly, I searched for a thick layer of dirt at the bottom of the cave.
The tunnel was originally a long round tube, but the bottom was already covered with a thick layer of dirt, which had accumulated here over the years, and the texture was already very hard, not as soft as silt.
Suddenly, in a thick piece of dirt, I found something that looked like a skeleton.
Continuing to explore this bone, I was shocked to find that in the long corridor, there was actually a skeleton of a large snake more than ten zhang long, and the skull of the big snake had a sharp horn.
"What is this?" I gasped.
Almost forgot that he was underwater.
This surprise was not trivial, and immediately the throat was stuck by the fiery red bead.
I swallowed a few times, and the bead grunted and slipped into my stomach.
