Chapter 42: Re-encounters in the Seepage Zone
(A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet, thank you for the reward of the book friend Sidneyliu)
I don't know how long later, there was the sound of water dropping in my ears, and I wanted to open my eyes to see, but because I was too tired, I changed my posture and continued to sleep, as if I was still at home in Hangzhou, wrapped in a quilt. But after I became conscious www.biquge.info the pain and chill in my body began to invade my whole body, and I could hear two people sighing in the haze, I shrank back, and then opened my eyes, this voice is too familiar!
I turned my head and saw that the person in front of me was wearing a rust-red linen shirt, and when I saw him, I was overjoyed and shouted excitedly: "Eighth Master!" In fact, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the eighth year of the first month, including the old ancestors, were younger than me, but their style of acting was very old-fashioned, and they had their own status in the rivers and lakes, so it was also convenient for me to call it so.
He was also happy to see me, and hurriedly said, "Little Liuzi, you're awake!"
We held each other with our hands, and our excitement was palpable, and when we looked up, we saw a lot of rotting corpses lying in a dark corner in front of us, and there were many scattered debris around the corpses, looking at the gravediggers who were as unlucky as us.
Liang Jiu said that these corpses were lying on the ground, and when we were unconscious, he was pulled to the corner, saving us from nausea. I thanked him for his care, and when I looked around, I realized that we were in a very small cave, which was in the shape of a steeply inclined cresm, an isolated space.
Bao Cai said that he had done a study on cave creatures in college, and had been to similar places. He said that this kind of individual cave will be slowly eroded by water over the years, and this kind of cave seems to have life, in the process, it will gather and communicate with the same cave as itself, and then gradually form an underground passage, which is located above the groundwater and under the surface water, which is called the seepage zone cave.
The upper layer is corpse oil, and the lower layer is a layer of underground runoff, because the density of oil is greater than that of water, and the two combine to form two water layers.
The path that the vortex takes away from us is in a U-shape, and we are now at the other end of the U-shape. The water is so clear that I can even see blind fish swimming in it. It's just that I don't understand why stagnant water produces whirlpools? I asked this question, and Bao Cai replied more evilly, with a gloomy expression, he mabbled that this is the ghost of the underworld, otherwise no matter how the two water layers will be stirred, the groundwater in front of him will not be so clear.
I pondered about the treasure, but finally came to the opposite conclusion of him, if it is really a strange phenomenon that science cannot explain, then the sudden whirlpool is our savior, which shows that our lives should not be extinguished, and the lord of Hades will not accept us.
However, this is just my nonsense, and if the well-informed old ancestors and little Taoist priests are here at this time, they may be able to answer the doubts in my heart. Thinking of this, I sighed deeply, and the accumulated pain in my heart wandered through my body. In fact, the three of us discussed the whirlpool in order not to touch a reality, but no matter how we avoid the heavy problem of "eight people enter, three people return", we still have to face it at a moment.
I was the first to speak, I told Chu Ba, Liang Jiu's tragic death, Chu Ba's body was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at the water flow in the gap, as if he saw through, and said lightly: "We nine brothers who worship the handle, after touching the gold, counting the ninth brother, we will go to three...... However, the ninth brother died decently......"
I looked at him staring blankly at a certain place, I knew that he was uncomfortable, now Xue Wei's whereabouts are unknown, Chen Yu is dead and can't see his body, the little Taoist priests are desperate for each other, and Liang Jiu's appearance has to fix his mind and protect us, this reality makes people want to cry without tears, but they don't know how to speak.
After being silent for a while, I asked about the situation of the eighth ancestor, he looked up at me, then lowered his head, sighed, and said: "At that time, I and the ninth brother, and the scoop were broken for you, but there were a lot of white bones, and the ninth brother's back was smashed at once, and he was badly injured, and asked us to pull it alive (escape) first." When the scoop handle was established, it was a rule that if you want to go underground and fall into danger, someone must pull (run) first. ”
As he was talking, Chu Hachi took out the skin bag from his waist, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, slightly desolate, and continued: "You know that in this world, the Taoist family needs food at home, and if we all stay in the pit (ancient tomb), the old and young outside will not be able to live at all. The rule of the scoop is not to be wiped out. But I know that he is calm on the surface, but in fact, he is more sad than anyone else. When the ninth brother decided to stay, we were ruthless and ran to the cocoon pile in the middle, but who knew that there was a big green python in it. The green python was powerful, and at that time, he encountered a poisonous attack on the scoop handle, and his heart suddenly burst out, saying that you will be in danger, let me hurry up to find you. In touching the golden gate, the scoop handle spoke, that is the military order, we were brought by him, so naturally we have to listen, so I endured the discomfort in my heart, and came to look for you. ”
Chu Hachi said, smiled bitterly, and said: "But this road is not smooth, in the pit pit, there are many evil things with organs and tombs, after nine deaths, I ran out, accidentally slipped through the crack above, and fell into the water." When I was recovering, I heard you shouting something, I called you, but you couldn't hear it, I waited for a long time, and found that this water had a small whirlpool, and I guessed that there was a mystery in it, so I entered the water, and then I found you......"
After listening to what the eighth year of junior high said, my heart became heavier and heavier, thinking that the old ancestor was still thinking about us, and for some reason, my nose suddenly became sore.
I took a sip of his wine and told me what had happened to Chen Yu and Little Heavenly Master, and I took a sip of his wine jar, and then told me everything that had happened to us.
He and Chen Yu are drinking friends on weekdays, the two have a similar temperament and a good relationship, knowing that Chen Yu is in danger, he said: "Okay, sure enough, he is also a person in temperament, worthy of deep friendship, but it's a pity that he ...... in this life" When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't go on on on the eighth day of junior high school.
The three of us were immersed in pain, and the next arrangement, Baocai and I decided to listen to the eighth day of the first month. Chu Hachi nodded in agreement, and he said, "If the chief scoop doesn't die, then he will definitely find a way to catch up with us." Let's go to the main coffin room first to get some spiritual vessels, otherwise this trip will be in vain, and everyone will die in vain. ”
Bao Cai agreed with this decision, but for that dark place, I don't have a good impression of it, think that my original intention of coming here was to help Engong find Wang Yu's bones and bring them back, but in the end I only got his name tag, but I told the little Taoist priest before, if he doesn't come to us, I will go back to him, even if something really happens to him, I will take his body out of the ancient tomb.
There are dangers everywhere in the ancient tombs, and it is rare to fall into such a clean place, so we plan to nourish our spirits first. Now my watch is 21:19, from the time we entered the tomb, this is the second night we have been here, during this time we have not eaten anything, but we have tried our best to survive, and the most important thing now is to fill our stomachs, but in the scuffle after scuffle, we have eaten all we can. Now the only thing that can be eaten is the blind fish I just saw, but a place produces the characteristics of a place, the blind fish has no eyes, but it is more agile than any fish, I and Baocai fluttered a few times, all in vain, fortunately in this predicament, there is the eighth year of the first month, he let us rest, and he caught a few fish with his flexible skills, these fish under his quick knife, have become delicious sashimi, eat with a little sweet.
After adding some food, the eighth year washed my wound with water, and then used a knife to cut off the rotten flesh for me. He said that when digging the grave, they would prepare some bruised herbs and put them in bamboo jars, and when I saw the sealed bamboo jars, I thought of the Miao witch, and I didn't know if she was still alive......
We talked about those weirdos, and Chu Ba said that it was good that he didn't meet him, otherwise he would definitely dismantle them and avenge Chen Yu and Liang Jiu. I said that these weirdos are very evil, and they are not easy to deal with, and I have only met two, but maybe there are more, and if they do, it will definitely be more tricky than skeletons, because they have thoughts, and they can use Gu and Healing Techniques.
However, Chu Hachi is also a hot-blooded person, he is very similar to the old ancestor in some ways, he is fearless. He said, "Whoever they are, if they stand in my way and harm my brothers, I will surely kill them." ”
Hearing this, I admired the eighth day of junior high school a little more, and secretly thought that if I had such courage and bravery, I might be able to change something, but I had just entered the underground, and I was not deeply involved in the world, and now I still have a breath of relief, which is a blessing in misfortune.
At 05:23 the next morning, Baocai and I slept very the night that was supposed to be sleepless, and he collected our escape route and studied what to do next.
Because the main coffin chamber is at the upper end, we don't go from the groundwater, and Baocai is naturally happy to hear that he doesn't have to fall into the water, but it is undoubtedly dangerous to climb up from the gap that is an inverted funnel and has a sloping pipe, and it looks at least twenty meters high.
For this problem, Chu Hachi also has a contingency, he took the clothes from the pile of dead people, went through them in clear water, and then cut them with a knife and wrung them up. The cloth is wet and naturally not easy to break.
The first to go up was the eighth day of the first month, and he met us at the top, fixed the cloth rope, and beckoned us to go up. Baocai's ability to climb is very powerful, when there was no food in Wang Laohan's house before, he climbed trees and picked wild fruits, and his skills were good.
At this time, he was as vigorous as a monkey, and I smiled bitterly in my heart, which is Liu Baocai who screamed when he saw a little thing?
However, the more you get to the upper end, the more difficult it is, and the top is an inclined slitch opening, which is the most difficult tubular part of the funnel. The body that Baocai could climb just now was suddenly transformed into that kind of wall climbing.
He didn't climb a few steps, as if he felt something unusual, Baocai propped himself up with his hands, looked at his chest, and at this look, he screamed, suddenly got up from the wall, and the back of his head hit another crack wall. In an instant, he lost control and slipped off the sloping wall, and the strip of cloth carried him into the wall that resembled a large funnel before, and he was knocked into a circle, and when he was a little sober, he slapped his chest in panic, as if something terrible had happened.
