Volume 5 Qinling Evil Ghost Chapter 466 Ghost Gate
The aspen was suddenly sprang upwards by the translucent strange fish, and was driven to roll in the water.
However, after all, Poplar had fought to the death with electric eels, great white sharks, and super-large octopuses at the bottom of the South China Sea, so he quickly adjusted his body in the water, and when the translucent strange fish smashed into the water, Poplar immediately swung his black sword and slashed another sword on the strange fish.
At this time, the poplar could clearly see the shape of the strange fish, and saw it swing its tail violently in the water, and a huge head quickly turned around, and the huge mouth full of white teeth pounced on the poplar.
How can an aspen be as flexible as a swimming fish in the water? Fortunately, the width of the river is only six or seven meters, and its deepest depth is only three or five meters.
So when the strange fish pounced, Poplar had already stepped on the bottom of the river, and with Poplar's fierce kick, his whole body staggered up in the water.
The strange fish did not relax and chased after the bite, and Poplar had to take a risk, put one hand on the head of the strange fish, and the whole body rolled out along the back of the strange fish.
The monster fish was nowhere near as large as the great white shark, but because of its small size, its movement and rotation were not comparable to those of the great white shark.
As soon as the poplar rolled out of the fish's back, the strange fish immediately rolled over in the water, and its wide open mouth actually covered the poplar's body floating to the surface.
The iron bull saw that the poplar was in a hurry, and immediately wanted to go into the water to help, but he knew that it was difficult to exert his power in the water with the iron rod, so he could only snatch the steel knife from Huang Mingming's waist with one hand, and plunged into the water and stabbed the strange fish directly with the tip of the knife.
Poplar was on the surface of the water, there was no way to dodge any further, seeing that the strange fish pounced on its back mouth, Poplar had to roll in the water, and the black sword slashed down towards the fish's mouth.
Although this stroke cut the corner of the strange fish's mouth, it couldn't stop the strange fish from closing its mouth at the poplar.
Fortunately, the knife of the Iron Bull was deeply inserted into the abdomen of the strange fish at this time, and the strange fish was so painful that its whole body fluttered, and although the fish's mouth was closed, it staggered the poplar's body.
Poplar almost escaped death, and immediately rolled under the belly of the strange fish, and the black sword slashed violently from top to bottom, instantly disemboweling the strange fish.
The pale blue juice immediately spread into the river, and even the five organs of the strange fish leaked out of the breach.
The transparent fish, large and small, immediately swam again, but they did not bite the five organs of the strange fish, but only sucked the blue blood.
Fearing that there would be such a fierce strange fish in the river, the Poplar Iron Bull hurriedly crawled from the river to the opposite bank, standing on the shore and staring closely at the corpse of the strange fish in the water.
With the sucking of large and small swimming fish, and the original flow of the river, the pale blue color of the river soon disappeared, and the whole river water became clear and clear again.
The body of the strange fish was still floating on the water, and it floated to the rock wall on the left with the current, and Poplar and the others used their eyes to see no other strange fish.
"It doesn't seem to be the same strange fish, right?" Dong Daoren said, glancing at the Poplar Iron Bull with infinite admiration, "It's also fortunate that there are Brother Bai and Brother Tie, otherwise the rest of us will be the opponent of this strange fish when we get to this river!"
Master Qiu nodded again and again, but said to Aiguo: "I still think that there is more than this strange fish, but this dark river flows out from the cliff wall on the right and flows out from the rock wall on the left, and it is likely that there is this strange fish lurking under the cliffs on both sides." ”
"What Xiang Xiao'er said is very reasonable, let's cross the river first while the other strange fish have not yet appeared!" said Master Qiu, while instructing Dong Daoren to carry Wu Daoren's body across the river.
Huang Mingliang rushed to carry Wu Daoren's corpse, and was about to step down the river, Bai Yang hurriedly said: "Lao Hei has good water and great strength, let's let Lao Hei go over and carry Wu Daoren!" But you throw the backpack and rope over first, and I will throw the rope over later, when you cross the river, grab the rope, I will pull it hard here, even if there are other strange fish, it will be too late to attack you!"
When Tie Niu heard Poplar say this, he immediately jumped into the river without saying a word and swam back to the other side of the river.
The others threw the backpack and rope to Poplar, who threw the rope back at one end.
Tie Niu took Wu Daoren on his back and went down to the river first, carrying Wu Daoren's corpse with one hand and grasping the rope with the other.
With a hard pull, Tie Niu and Wu Daoren drew a water line in the water, and instantly reached the other side of the shore.
The others did the same, and all of them were pulled to the other side of the river by the poplars, and there was no movement in the river.
The clearing where the other side of the river meets the rock walls on both sides is indeed a sandy area.
On Dong Daoren and other mountain pioneers, they will always carry a small shovel with them, which is usually hung around their waists, and when they want to use it, they can be used as ordinary shovels by connecting two short iron pipes.
Huang Mingliang took off the small shovel from Wu Daoren, connected the short iron pipe, dug a deep pit with Dong Daoren with tears, buried Wu Daoren in it, and piled a small grave bag.
The deceased was the greatest, and several of them kowtowed to the grave. Huang Mingliang even knelt on the ground and swore solemnly: "Don't worry, Huang Mingliang fought for his life, and he will also keep your master and your brother safe!"
He didn't say this loudly, but Poplar and Xiang Aiguo stood behind him, and they couldn't help but look at each other. The two of them knew very well in their hearts that not only Huang Mingming, but the four of them must do their best to protect Master Qiu and Dong Daoren in their future actions.
Otherwise, not only Huang Mingming, but also a few of them would feel uneasy in their hearts.
After a delay of almost an hour, Master Qiu took the initiative to urge him to continue his journey, and the group of six people left Wu Daoren's tomb and walked forward to the big slit at the intersection of the two rock walls.
The slit was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and its height was more than two meters, but at its widest point, it was only eighty or ninety centimeters.
On one side of the slit, there is a stone tablet standing suddenly, the stone tablet has traditional Chinese characters written on it, and there are three horizontal characters on the top, which is actually the three words "Ghost Gate".
Below these three big characters, there are two other vertical lines of small characters, each line of four characters, namely: Enter the ghost door, there is death and no life!
Several people looked at each other and said to Aiguo: "This monument should have been erected here by the so-called immortals in this cave after the author of "Travels in the Immortal Cave" left, right?"
He was naturally asking Master Qiu when he said this, so Master Qiu nodded and said: "It should be! Look at these words, they are exactly the same as modern traditional characters, and in "Travels to the Immortal Cave", there is no mention of this stone tablet at all!"
"What the hell is closed, it is clearly to scare people, then it is the same as the three hundred taels of silver here!" said the iron bull, and the iron rod was about to go into the slit as soon as he swung it.
Bai Yang hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and said, "Don't be so reckless, see the situation clearly and then drill in!"
As he spoke, he pulled the iron bull aside first, and stretched his neck to look into the slit.
But I saw that the slit was like a passage wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and it was about ten meters forward before it came to the end.
There seems to be another upward passage at the end, but you have to walk past it to be sure.
"Nothing out of the ordinary, and there are natural rock walls on both sides, so he can't make a mechanism, right?" said Iron Bull.
"It's hard to say, after all, the ground is relatively soft, and he can't put the mechanism in the rock walls on both sides, but he can do something underground!" Poplar said.
"Then how about we give it a try!" said Iron Bull.
Baiyang couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he was secretly pondering, and said to Aiguo: "Why don't I shoot a few arrows to the ground?"
Bai Yang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid the power of the crossbow arrow is not big enough, and once there is really a mechanism, Senior Brother Xiang's crossbow arrow will not be able to be recovered, and when he fights with the man in black in the future, Senior Brother Xiang will have less weapons to take advantage of!"
"Then why don't I shoot a few shots at the ground and try it! Anyway, I have more bullets with me, enough to fight the man in black and the demon girl in colorful clothes!" Huang Mingliang said.
Bai Yang thought about it for a while, but he really couldn't think of any other way, so he could only nod his head and say to Huang Mingming: "You still have to be careful!"
Huang Mingliang agreed, took out a pistol from his waist, held it in his right hand, and fired several shots at the ground.
Nothing happened in the first few shots, but when he fired the fifth shot, there was a sudden "boom", and the ground of the passage in front of him suddenly collapsed, and the passage was immediately filled with dust.
Several people hurriedly retreated, waited until the dust and sand settled, and then looked into the passage, but saw that more than three meters away in the passage, a large pit had formed.
The crater was more than five meters long, reaching the top of the passage, and there was another section of ground about two meters long.
Tie Niu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said, "Fortunately, Lao Bai grabbed me, if I rushed in directly, I would have fallen down at this time!"
Poplar nodded and said, "Even so, you still need to be careful, after all, although the impact of the bullet is large, the force surface is small, maybe some mechanisms have not been touched yet!"
As he spoke, he asked for the iron rod in Tie Niu's hand and slammed it twice against the ground of the passage to make sure that there was no problem, and then took a step forward.
And so on and so forth, until we reached the pit.
Looking down into the pit, I saw that the pit was about three meters deep, and the bottom of the pit was covered with sand, but between the sand, there were sharp artifacts looming.
It is evident that at the bottom of this pit there are iron spikes that have been built. It's just that the passage collapsed, and the floating earth on it fell, covering up the spikes. But if a man falls, he will surely die.
Huang Mingliang huddled beside Bai Yang, and also saw the situation in the pit clearly, and couldn't help but say in a staggered voice: "This pit is more than five meters, how can we get by? Do we have to go down to the bottom of the pit and pull out all the spikes in the pit one by one?"
"There's no need to be so troublesome!" Bai Yang said, looking up at the remaining two or three meters long passage ground on the other side of the pit, "It's just not sure if there are any other mechanisms on the two or three meters long ground in front of you!"
"Probably not, right?" said Iron Bull, "Otherwise, the Rainbow-clad Demon Maiden will have to go in and out, unless there is another passage in this cave!"
What he said was not unreasonable, Poplar nodded while saying, "It's better to be as careful as possible!"
"Then I'll shoot a few more shots at that stretch of road!" Mr. Huang said.
