Chapter 269: Under the Five Elements Mountain

The water was very dark, the visibility was almost zero, and Ran Ran almost felt the rock wall to dive, and the biting cold water made her brain very alert and nimble. Fortunately, the river is not deep, about three meters or so, and Ran Ran already feels like she is standing to the end.

Before she could stand firmly, she felt a faint rush of water, and she squatted down with great difficulty, touching the direction of the water with her hand, and clearly felt that there was a force on the stone wall that was sucking the river out.

She took advantage of the situation and found a small hole in the stone wall, the entrance of which was about the size of a basketball. Shu Yan said that the entrance to the cave should be able to accommodate a person to bend down and walk out, but now that it is blocked like this, it is no wonder that the cave is full of water. If this continues, either the stone will be broken by the current, or the cave will be filled with the river sooner or later, and if the latter is the case, if the stone breaks, I am afraid that the bottom of the mountain will suffer.

But Ran Ran didn't have much thought about it so far at the moment, she only thought about how to smash the hole open, otherwise let alone Gu Lianzhao, she couldn't even squeeze out of this hole.

She groped for a long time on the ground, finally found a suitable stone, and smashed it into the hole with all her might. It's a pity that her strength is too small, and the underwater resistance is great, and she can't smash the hole open until she is almost out of oxygen.

Ran Ran felt helpless and desperate, and finally saw the exit, but there was no way to get out. She was about to rush back to ventilate, but when she stepped on the air, she stepped on the entrance of the cave, and she pulled out her leg with great difficulty, and as a result, she kicked out a big hole at the entrance of the cave by mistake.

Watching the river rush to the exit first, Ranran's eyes lit up and she swam over.

To her surprise, the hole was so large that it could easily be walked through. Finally emerged from the current. The fresh air gave her a new lease of life, and she clung to the stone wall for fear of being swept away. I almost burst out laughing when I looked at everything in front of me.

"Ah!! Hahaha! Ran Ran shouted, feeling like seeing meat buns falling from the sky.

If anyone passes by at the bottom of the mountain, they will be frightened by her loud laughter, and a human head will emerge from the mountain wall for no reason, either a mountain demon or a water monster. But Ran Ran felt like Sun Wukong who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, but he didn't need Tang Seng. She'll be free in no time.

Having enough air, Rana desperately swam back, eager to tell the others the good news.

And after waiting for a long time, there was no one. Everyone tugged at their hearts and wanted to follow them to find it.

Suddenly, the water shook, and a figure came out like a mermaid, Gu Lianzhao couldn't help but shout: "Ranran!" ”

Seeing everyone's expressions at the same time, they were relieved. Ran Ran smiled brightly. Her hair was wet on her forehead, and her water-soaked clothes were all attached to her, showing her slender figure, Gu Lianzhao immediately dragged off her coat and picked her up.

"Sure enough, it's not sealed, there's a hole below, and when you go out, it's the cliff that the sixth master said. But the hole is very small, and I can barely get out, but I don't know if you can do it. ”

This news is undoubtedly the best news for them. Even if it's only the size of a bowl, you have to find a way to smash it open.

Nanshan immediately excitedly said: "Since the exit." Gotta give it a try! ”

Immediately, several people began to study the route, after all, what would happen after climbing out of the hole, no one knew how to better protect themselves. After a unanimous decision, Nanshan took Shuyan first, followed by Ranran.

Suddenly thinking that Gu Lianzhao didn't know water, Ran Ran looked at him blankly, "What should you do, or I'll take you?" ”

Gu Lianzhao's heart warmed, brushed the water droplets on her wet hair, and said softly: "You guys go first, I'll go back by myself, they can't embarrass me." ”

Hearing that Gu Lianzhao didn't go with them, everyone was stunned for a moment, "Then you don't have to worry that Nanshan is with us?" ”

Gu Lianzhao glanced up at Nanshan and nodded solemnly, as if it was a silent entrustment between men, and Nanshan also nodded at him in response. "Don't worry about what to talk about at this time, Nanshan, he won't hurt you, you will also protect the sixth master, I will let someone pick you up as soon as possible."

Watching Nanshan and Shu Yan jump into the water one after another, Gu Lianzhao felt a kind of regret and embarrassment in his heart, but he didn't expect that it was himself who was holding back in the end.

Ran Ran was still unwilling to persuade Gu Lianzhao to go into the water together, "Why don't you try, you are responsible for holding your breath, I will take you out, the water is not very deep, as long as you are calm, you will definitely be able to dive." ”

Ordinary people can hold their breath for more than a minute, and a martial artist like Gu Lianzhao should be able to hold his breath for a longer time as long as he adjusts his breathing. Don't worry if you can't swim, they just have to sink to the bottom and get out of the hole, and it won't take long if it goes well.

With such a simple and convenient method, Ran Ran really didn't want to give up, and watched him face the unknown risks alone.

Even Nanshan followed and persuaded: "Young Master Gu, if you go back this time, you are only afraid of more evil and less auspicious, so it is better to go with us." ”

Gu Lianzhao watched half of their bodies sink into the water, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't dare to say that since he almost died when Ran Ran fell into the water, he was a little shy about ponds and the like.

Ran Ran patted him on the shoulder and said with a proud face: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

Gu Lianzhao's face turned red, and he glared at her and said, "Nonsense, I'm not afraid of it." ”

"Nanshan, the sixth master will be handed over to you. It's not good to soak in the water, so you swim over first. Ran Ran looked at Gu Lianzhao's embarrassed expression, and persuaded Nanshan and them to leave first.

Ignoring Ranran's intentions, the two quickly dived into the water and disappeared. Gu Lianzhao was shocked when he saw it, he didn't know the nature of water, and when he watched the figure disappear from the water, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

"Come down, always have to try." Ran Ran patiently encouraged, "Do you know, when I swam out of the cave just now, I suddenly felt like Sun Wukong who was pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, and I felt like the Monkey King who lived in the Water Curtain Cave, not to mention how proud I was. ”

"You're a water monkey."

Gu Lianzhao was grateful for her delicate thoughts, looked at her with a smile on her face, and mustered up the courage to jump into the water. But instinctive fear made him struggle at once, and Ranran also hurriedly jumped into the water, pushed the raft to his side, and let him float on the water with his strength.

Seeing that his face was serious and dignified, Ran Ran continued to listen to the teaching, and wrapped the strip of cloth tied around his waist around Gu Lianzhao's body. "Don't be afraid, take a deep breath first, then adjust your mentality, take a full breath, bury your head in the water, and slowly exhale it until you can't stand it anymore. You don't have to worry about anything else, I'll tie strips of cloth around our waists, and as long as you don't struggle indiscriminately, we'll be fine." ”

In the end, he crawled out of the netherworld, even if he was afraid of the water, Gu Lianzhao still quickly calmed down. He tried to hold his breath and bury his head in the water, and after doing it several times in a row, his heart calmed down.

"Then let's go." Ran Ran took his hand and smiled at him, thinking that she would never have to wander around again.

But I don't know, the sky always doesn't follow people's wishes, just like the Tang monk and his party who got the true scriptures, after all, they can't escape the fixed number, and there will inevitably be bumps in the road back. (To be continued......)
