Chapter 118: Dive to the bottom of the pool
"Oops!"
As soon as he entered the water, there was a pig-like scream from Zhu Bajie.
"What's going on?" Sun Wukong and Ruan Jiu's faces changed, and they shouted almost in unison.
Soon, a head slowly emerged from the pitch-black water.
"This ...... This...... This...... Water...... It's too ...... Too...... Cold...... Cold ...... ......"
Zhu Bajie's whole body trembled, and even his teeth couldn't help but tremble up and down when he spoke.
"Second Senior Brother, are you okay, or you come up first!" Ruan Jiu saw that Zhu Bajie seemed to be really cold, so he frowned.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. This is a little cold, and I still ...... the old pig Don't put it in the ...... yet In the heart!"
After speaking, without waiting for the two people on the shore to say anything, Zhu Bajie dived directly and quickly disappeared into the black water.
Looking at the black splash on the surface of the water, Ruan Jiu looked at Sun Wukong with some concern: "Senior brother, is this really okay?"
Sun Wukong glanced at the black pool in front of him with a solemn expression, and said lightly: "Bajie was originally the divine general who commanded the 100,000 water army in the sky. When it comes to water, you and I are far inferior to him. If this black pool is not accessible to him, it is even more impossible for us. ”
Hearing Sun Wukong's explanation, Ruan Jiu suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
In this way, time passed minute by minute. I waited until nearly a stick of incense, and there was still no change in the black water pool.
"It's been so long, why hasn't the second senior brother come out yet?" Looking at the calm water, Ruan Jiu's tone obviously had a hint of worry.
Sun Wukong was also staring intently at the center of the pool at the moment, but his fiery eyes could not play any role in front of this black pool of water.
"Xiao Jiu......" Sun Wukong said slowly. "You watch from above, I'll go down. ”
Hearing Sun Wukong say that he was going into the water, Ruan Jiu hurriedly said, "Senior brother, is it ......?"
Sun Wukong shook his head solemnly: "If we haven't come up after a stick of incense, you will leave here immediately with Master." ”
"Leave, what are you going to do?"
Sun Wukong gently pulled between his right fingers in his ear, and the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick instantly appeared in his hand.
"There's a strange smell of this ancient city, and I fear that there may be dangers beneath this black pool that we don't know about. ”
"But ......"
Ruan Jiu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sun Wukong waving his hand.
"I know what you're going to say. But now is not the time to say that. Remember what I just told you. After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ruan Jiu to react, and jumped directly into the black pool in front of him.
"Big brother!"
Ruan Jiu wanted to stop it, but unfortunately in the end it was a step too late.
At this moment, the sun has set in the west. The whole ancient city began to be enveloped in darkness.
Looking at the water in front of him that had returned to calm again, Ruan Jiu couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although she thought of many endings before she came, she never expected this way now.
There was a deathly silence all around, and I didn't feel anything during the day. Now that night has fallen, the entire ancient city seems to have lost all its vitality in an instant. Even on the street not far away, there is no point of light to be seen at this moment.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ruan Jiu didn't have a watch, so he could only calculate the time that passed by his senses.
Half a pillar of incense has passed, and the black water surface is still as if it were still.
The cold moonlight began to shine on the earth, but even so, the ancient city still seemed to be shrouded in black mist.
"Hiss......"
Ruan Jiu shuddered suddenly, and for some reason the uneasiness in his heart began to grow bigger and bigger.
Finally, the time for a stick of incense has arrived.
However, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie did not appear.
Looking at the black pool in front of him, Ruan Jiu only felt that his mind was in chaos.
"What should I do? Do you want to go back and tell Master about them?"
Thinking of the words that Sun Wukong said to himself when he was leaving, Ruan Jiu felt entangled in his heart.
She knows very well that with Sun Wukong's character, it is impossible to disappear for no reason. Since he didn't show up, there was only one explanation.
The two of them, are in trouble.
And the trouble was big enough to trap them at the bottom of the pool.
At this moment, there are two choices in front of Ruan Jiu.
First, according to what Sun Wukong said, he immediately went back to tell Tang Seng what happened, and took them to leave the ancient city of Xihu overnight. But in this way, the life and death of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie are completely unknown.
As for the second type, that is, like Sun Wukong, he jumped directly into this black pool.
The second, of course, is undoubtedly the most dangerous one.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Ruan Jiu slapped himself on the head.
"Ruan Jiu, you are stupid!"
As if he had figured something out, Ruan Jiu's eyes lit up slightly. Immediately, her figure moved slightly, and instantly turned into a white light and flew towards the street not far away.
Just now, it occurred to her that she could fly back as fast as she could. As long as you tell Sha Seng Sun Wukong's instructions and let him leave the ancient city with his master overnight, won't everything be solved?
After figuring out this, Ruan Jiu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
Returning to the stone house where Meng Ge lived again, Ruan Jiu briefly told Tang Seng what had happened.
"Senior Brother Sha, you hurry up and leave here with Master. The sooner the better!" Ruan Jiu said to Sha Seng with a solemn expression.
"Good!"
Sha Seng nodded hurriedly, but then he turned around and said worriedly, "Then what about the senior brothers?"
"Don't worry, I have a way to get them out!"
"No, let's go!"
Ruan Jiu didn't want to delay too much time here, and seeing that Sha Seng still wanted to stay here, he said sharply: "Do you want the master to suffer accidents?"
This shout immediately shocked everyone.
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Ruan Jiu directly turned around and flew towards the center of the ancient city.
Now she is most worried about the safety of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. As for Tang Seng's side, she believed that after Sha Seng calmed down, he would definitely leave Xihu City with his master.
When she came to the black pool again, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight before her.
I saw that on the originally calm water, a layer of white mist floated up at some point. Although these white fogs are not very strong, the appearance in such an environment really gives people a very strange feeling.
Ruan Jiu looked around and found that the range of the white mist's activity was only on the surface of the pool. In other words, there was no such white fog in other places in the ancient city.
"Is it the water in this pool?"
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiu's heart became even more uneasy.
Quickly formed a magic seal in front of him, Ruan Jiuyi gritted his teeth and jumped directly into the black water pool.
Although water avoidance can avoid the effects of water on the body, this effect will become more and more powerful as the depth increases. Fortunately, the demonic power in Ruan Jiu's body was already different from ordinary people, so the depth of the pool would not cause her much damage.
