Chapter 6: The Altar

I hadn't heard a sound for a long time, and the black stone on the roof of the cave was gone. The top of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info reveals a large piece of white, which is obviously different from other places. The swallow chased the strange and jumped lightly, wiping a little white soil off the top. The soil is white and fine, unusually white and unusually fine, like carefully ground pearl powder, rubbing it in the hand only feels a cold air, and smells an indescribable aroma. Yan Zichai suddenly remembered that when he went to examine Su Sheng's corpse, he seemed to have smelled this smell as well.

What are they? The swallow was in a trance, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe in ghosts and gods?" ”

"I don't believe it." Hu Mao'er replied.

"Do you believe that there are immortals in the world?" Swallow asked again.

Hu Mao'er raised his eyes and asked, "Do you believe it?" ”

"Letter. I've seen it. "It's in the cabin." A man who should have died thirteen years ago is still alive. ”

Hu Mao'er said, "What you see is not necessarily true. ”

"I saw the wound in his throat, and it is impossible for a person to be alive with a wound like that." Yanzi chased, "He said that he was Gongxi, but thirteen years ago, there was obviously a body of Kongxi sent back to Beirong. I don't understand. ”

Hu Mao'er smiled, "As long as you want to do something, you will always find a way." They found a man of similar size to Gongxi, killed him and ruined his face, dressed him in Gongxi's clothes and sent him back to Beirong, where they designed a fire in front of the Beirong Emperor and burned his body. Who can recognize a charred corpse? "It's like going back to thirteen years ago, and my eyes have become sharp.

Yanzi shook his head and sighed lightly, "I see, poor that person was killed just because he was similar to Gong Xi's body type, and he was also innocent!" ”

"Innocent?" Hu Mao'er's eyes suddenly lit up, looked at Yan Zichai, and suddenly laughed for a while, "It turns out that people like you will also care about such a nameless person!" As he spoke, he lay down on the stone platform as if talking to himself, "You people! When there is no way out, take the lives of one or two people for a way out, and after surviving, rejoice that you escaped death, who cares about the people who died in vain! ”

Yan Zichai also sighed, "The Qu family is also innocent, and they were destroyed in vain." ”

Hu Mao'er sneered, "The Qu family was completely to blame. If it weren't for Qu Shang's greed to hide the jade slip and want to monopolize it, how could the Qu family suffer from the disaster of annihilation! At first, Shen Xun persecuted Qu Shang's mother's life, but Qu Shang refused to hand it over. I didn't understand why I could risk my family's lives before, but now I understand. The swallow was frightened, frowning slightly and unable to speak.

Suddenly, with a pop, Hu Mao'er woke up and stood up as he looked at the water, "The water level is rising!" ”

The swallow chased down and saw that the water level had not crossed the line drawn by Hu Mao'er before. "Is this really a dead end?!" Suddenly, he remembered something and exclaimed, "It's broken! Not only will the water level rise, but it will flood the entire channel! ”

Hu Mao'er sat on the stone platform and suddenly laughed wildly, muttering to herself, "I'm going to die here!" I'm going to die! ”

Swallow chased everything he wanted to enter the tunnel, thinking about whether he missed the exit, thinking about thinking about it and suddenly looking at Hu Mao'er, "You don't want to die?" ”

Hu Mao'er raised her head and smiled bitterly, "Who would want to die?!" ”

Swallow chuckled, "If you don't want to die, I have a way to try." ”

Hu Mao'er is eager to survive, how can he not listen to the method of immortality. Hu Mao'er listened to the swallow's instructions, and painted his hand all over the 'white clay' on the top, but it was also strange, and the white clay immediately adhered to his hand and did not scatter at all, and put his hand into the water, and the 'white clay' did not dissolve when it met the water, but adhered more tightly. Hu Mao'er felt like his hand was on fire, and the fire snake came and struck and tried to penetrate his palm, and the hard scales rolled in the palm of his hand over and over again. After a while, she didn't feel the heat or stinging, and the cat took her hand out of the water strangely, but saw that the palm of her hand was stained with a black stone. Yanzi chased his heart and said that he had guessed correctly, and took the black stone in Hu Mao'er's hand and slapped the 'white soil', only to see that Hu Mao'er really did not have a trace of injury on his hand.

"I guessed right." Yanzi laughed, "The rise and fall of the water in this tunnel is a cycle, and the empty groove and wooden stopper under the oil lamp are to cope with the changes of the water fluctuation. When the water rises, the wooden plug floats and the mechanism is moved, and the stone cover is closed and the oil lamp is buckled. This fire snake is also, when the water soaks the tunnel, the fire snake sticks to the 'white soil' and turns into a black stone and adheres to it, and when the water falls, it falls again and becomes a snake when it encounters water. ”

"But the fiery serpents have to touch the white earth before they can turn into stone, so why do they have to come here?" Hu Mao'er said, suddenly, looked up at the top and said, "There must be something on this to attract them!" ”

Swallow laughed, "Do you want to save your life, or do you want to go up and take a look?" ”

Hu Mao'er looked at the swallow chase, "Do you have a way to get out?" ”

"You want to go up from here, I can't help it. But if you want to save your life first, we can go back the way we came. If there is a big cycle in this tunnel, then everything must be in the cycle. There must also be a mechanism to hold up the boulder when we come in. You've just tried, smearing the white clay and the fiery serpent clinging to it, and although it's hot, it's not going to penetrate it. Swallow laughed.

Hu Mao'er also understood, "You mean that we smear the white clay on our bodies and go back out of the water." When the boulder is back in place, we'll go out again. ”

"With any luck, the boulder has now been lifted. If you are unlucky, you may have to wait until the water is full, and if this is the case, you can only pray that the water will not be full for too long. Swallow laughed. You see, the tide is rising much faster than it is falling, and we shouldn't have to wait too long. ”

In a desperate situation, you can only gamble. The two of them went up one after another to scrape off the soil and apply it to their bodies, only to see that the 'white soil' on the top of the cave was only a thin layer, and above the 'white soil' was the usual damp loess. At this time, the water rose a few inches, and the two of them didn't care, only heard a bang, and the 'fire snakes' in the passage rushed to the cave. The two were alarmed, not knowing what was happening, and stopped to be on guard. Looking at the surrounding stone crevices are all seeping water, the water in the passage is spraying thin, and the water level is rising rapidly. In this case, it is impossible to return to the boulder before the water is full.

The two jumped onto the higher stone platform, and in a blink of an eye the stone platform was submerged, and there was no place to stand on it again, and the next moment the water was about to fill all the space. The two of them soaked in the water, and the fiery snake that turned into a stone attached to the two of them, and the stone was heavy and downward, desperately swimming upstream to expose its face to the surface. In a moment, however, the water was about to touch the roof of the cave. But I saw countless fiery snakes rising upwards from the place where there was no white soil, and just this time they drilled through the entire soil layer. The soil layer collapsed with a bang, and suddenly the water poured into the tunnel and collapsed, and a large number of fire snakes rushed out in an instant.

The tunnel revolves around the wooden house, and ends at the bottom of Baoyue Lake!

Swallow chased almost unconscious, pushed out by the fiery serpent, and what he saw was enough to surprise anyone.

This is already the bottom of Baoyue Lake.

On a white marble platform, five wrist-thick iron cables locked the huge white bones on the stone platform, and countless fire snakes swam around the stone platform, and the water seemed to be afraid of these fire snakes, and slowly seeped away outside the circle surrounded by fire snakes.

It's like a festival. Swallow chases his heart.

Slowly centered on the white marble, a huge hollow place was formed, and when the lake receded, the white bones on the stone platform seemed to burn, and a dragon roared, and the flames twisted upwards and almost broke free from the chains.

At this time, in the Suhou Mansion, the Hongming knife above the lobby was also hissing. Yun Zhu was originally wiping the blade of the knife, but the knife suddenly 'lived' and Yun Zhu hung in the lobby, making a sound like a tiger's roar and a sorrowful roar. Suddenly, red lines appeared on the knife body, and a layer of red light was wrapped around it, and the night sky outside was clear and cloudless, but suddenly there was a dry thunder.

Yunzhu was horrified. Su Sheng once said that this Hongming knife is just an empty reputation of the treasure knife, and the Hongming knife has been in the Su family for more than two hundred years, and there has never been such a situation. Yunzhu was stunned.

She didn't know that this knife, which had been sleeping for thousands of years, had already been awakened, and her husband was dying in this hall on the day she woke up!

Swallow chased was stunned by the scene in front of him, and swam to the stone platform with the last trace of perseverance, through the group of fire snakes, and stepped on the ground with one foot! Finally able to breathe again! Almost at the same time, Hu Mao'er came in from another direction, and only when he landed did he breathe constantly. Looking at the vision, it's like stepping into a miracle. But I heard a thunderclap, and it rained in the sky. The fire dragon was so weak that it couldn't stand a few drops of rain and screamed in pain. Look at the iron chain on the stone platform suddenly tightened, and the water gushed out of the stone platform out of nowhere. The water gradually flooded the bones again, and suddenly the howl of the fire dragon dissipated, and the wailing was silent in the continuous thunder.

The 'fiery serpent' scattered, and the surrounding lake immediately filled the hollow. The lake poured in, and the swallows chased it to the surface. When the water surfaced, the swallow chased back immersed in the scene just now.

At this time, if a wild goose flies by, you will definitely see the tunnel that has fallen by the Baoyue Lake.
