Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Waterhole
Although the three fire sticks are not thick and the fire is not strong, at least we can see the surrounding environment clearly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info As we continued on, I heard "tick-tock...... The sound of ticking ...... water, and water marks also appeared on the soil walls on both sides of the road.
We walked on this road for more than an hour, and according to the little Taoist man's calculations, we had walked out of the previous gravel land, and probably now we walked to the place of the water Xuanwu, which is the last of the five paths we first saw, the place where moss grows.
Once in this area, the humidity in the air was noticeably higher, and it made the wounds on our bodies a little itchy. The passage began to slope down, the air was a little stuffy, in order to save resources, the little Taoist priest and I put out the fire, and left a torch for lighting.
After a few steps, the librarian turned back to us and said, "There is the sound of water in front, how can there be water in this passage?"
I also faintly heard the sound of the water, so I speculated: "The forest we entered is divided into several different forms, and now we may be in an area with lush vegetation and abundant water, after all, the road was built by people, and there are always irresistible external factors, such as a small river near the road, and the river water seeps in from somewhere in the road." ”
However, I thought too much about the construction of the ancient tomb, in fact, as we continued to go deeper, the sound of the water was very loud, very direct, and there was nothing to obstruct it, and if you listened carefully, it sounded like there was a water pipe, and the water gushed out from it.
When I arrived at the gathering place of the water, the treasurer swept the torch forward, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, I saw that there were old fires on the wall of the road, and I wanted to light them one by one, but these fires were damp and lit for a long time before they succeeded.
When the light of the fire gradually cleared, we saw a huge poolhole, which was half a pool long, and the pool was attached to the two walls, and on the walls were two stone carved snakes, and in their huge mouths, two columns of water gushed out, and the water columns poured down, hitting the otherwise calm water.
The water is relatively clear, and if it is placed in a bright place, it is estimated that the bottom can be seen clearly, but under the firelight, it is gloomy and gloomy, which makes people full of infinite horror reverie.
When I was a child, I always heard my grandfather say that among the organs of the ancient tomb, there are organic crossbows, ambush fires, poisonous smoke, and there are also water storage and sand to block people's way, looking at a closed stone gate on the opposite side, it is higher than the waterhole part, similar to that kind of stone gate, we only fall into the water, can we try to open the stone door and continue to move forward.
In fact, the water itself is not terrible, but the waterhole that blocks the way in the ancient tomb is very interesting. Everyone looked at the two walls, if you want to make Spider-Man climb over, it will be too difficult, and even if you climb over, there is still a ruthless stone gate standing there, so this water is going to soak anyway.
Originally, I was thirsty, and I hadn't taken a bath for a long time, so it was good to go to the water, but now none of us are injured and have to soak in this bubble, and the skin and flesh will definitely be white, swollen, and finally fester. Thinking of this, I retreated, but looking back, the original road was long, the mouth was still sealed, I bit my lip, just then, someone kicked my ass, I was kicked unsuspectingly, my body fell into the water, splashing a big splash.
Before the head came out, Bajian cursed and fell into the water, I poked my head out, wiped the water from my face, looked at the treasurer, and scolded: "Wang Ba Lamb, you take advantage of our unpreparedness and kick us into the water, do you want to be ashamed!"
The Kushi smiled and said, "Look at your delay in time, I'll help you make up your mind, and by the way, let you test if there is a problem with the water......"
"You are an old immortal, with a vicious heart, use us as paving stones, I will tell you, your prince is born hard, and he will not come to touch me if there is anything in the water, but you may not come down to it!"
These words seemed to poke at the heart of the master of the library, and he listened to it with an angry face, but in a moment, he adjusted his mood, his face turned kind, and said with a smile: "If something really happens to me, you have to bury me with you, now you take care of me, that is, to give yourself a way out, I advise you not to talk nonsense, since the water is fine, swim to the stone gate, find the mechanism, and open it." ”
As he was speaking, the little Taoist priest who was silent on the side handed the unlit torch in his hand to the master of the treasury, and said indifferently: "Something happens to the two of them, and your coercion of me will also lose its effect. ”
Although the words of the little Taoist priest did not have any emotion, they definitely had an impact on the library master, who was pinched in the soft underbelly, clenched the torch in his hand, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.
The little Taoist priest didn't pay attention to his current mood, jumped into the water, came to our side, and said: "If the water is okay, then there is a problem with the stone gate that hinders us from moving forward, I just looked at it from a distance, and I didn't find the mechanism, maybe the key to opening the stone gate is in the water." He looked at Bajian, Bajian's body was the most seriously injured, and the little Taoist priest was afraid that if he stayed in the water too much, it would cause the wound to fester, so he said: "Brother Wang, you go back and wait, you can help if there are not many people looking for an agency." ”
Ba Jian glanced back at the treasurer holding the torch, and said unhappily: "I'd rather soak in the water with you than stay with that old Wang Ba." ”
I dragged him over and said solemnly: "Don't be willful, the meat will be soaked and difficult to recover, do you hope that you won't be able to find the girl in the future?"
Bajian heard this, recalled this, raised his big eyes to look at me, and said with a serious face: "What Gongzi said is that if the wound is soaked, it is estimated that my handsome face will be ruined." He clenched his fists and said, "Thanks for the reminder." So he eagerly climbed ashore, put his hands in his hands, and sat on the ground, but did not go to the treasurer. The two of them looked like angry children, one standing, the other sitting, looking funny.
I'm a little less Taoist in the water, and I've played diving before, but I don't have any equipment, and I don't have underwater lights, and I want to find some mechanism in the water of the secluded pool, which is really a blind man touching an elephant and looking for a needle in a haystack. But because the little Taoist priest is here, I am not so depressed in my heart. He said that the stone gate was in front, and the mechanism might be under the stone gate, so he and I groped our way down the stone gate on the left and right. There was a barrier underwater, and it was sealed with a hard, dense stone, and I fumbled around for a long time, and there was nothing protruding, like a mechanism.
What I didn't expect was that the water was deeper than I expected, and the silence below was so quiet that it could really be called a "pool", and I had a limited amount of time to hold my breath, so when I reached a certain level, I had to poke my head out and breathe.
At this time, the librarian would always ask me impatiently, "What, have you found it?"
I gave him a blank look, and said coldly: "Do you see if the stone door is open, if you don't find it, you don't find it!" (To be continued.) )
