Chapter 790: Yao Chi
After a fight, until all the dried corpses and Qin figurines were forced off the ice boat, Ye Jiu stopped his figure, and then stuck the blood-stained fast snow knife into the bow of the boat.
He sat down alone, his head bowed, and his palms coldly wrapped in bandages.
With the deterrence of Kuaixue Dao and Ye Jiu himself, the group of dried corpses under the ice boat could only stand under the boat and did not dare to get on the boat.
At the same time, the earth-shattering wave finally completed the final ice-breaking process and swept towards the vast snow.
Seeing this, Laizi, who was at the helm of the cabin, shouted at the three of them: "Everyone, pay attention, it's time to set sail!" ”
As soon as Laizi's words fell, the monstrous waves crushed all the glaciers in front of him, and the three people on the board of the boat were also slapped by the huge waves and fell around. Immediately afterward, ancient ice boats, which had been silent for thousands of years, rose from the ground and floated along the waterway with the river.
Zhang Meng and the fat man hurriedly hugged the mast and let the hull rise and fall with the waves.
The four of them thought that this tide would not last long, but they did not expect that this fierce river had no tendency to weaken at all, and lasted for a whole day and a night, before the next night, it barely calmed down.
The four of them originally wanted to wait for the river to cool down before docking the boat, but they didn't expect that although the river was calm, everyone couldn't find the direction to the shore.
Fortunately, Raiko looked at it and found that the direction of progress was the route on the parchment roll, so there was no forced stop of the ship.
In the end, everyone discussed, Ye Jiu kept vigil, and the three of them took turns to take the helm, and then traveled a certain distance.
After this toss, the four of them finally found time to rest.
But the fat man couldn't be idle, leaning on the plank, he said to Zhang Meng, who was changing clothes: "Hey, I said that you are Zhang Lacking, and you were still thin and tender at the beginning, but I didn't expect that a few years have passed, and you can barely grow a few muscles, not bad." ”
"Hehe, Ah Meng's body is becoming more and more like a man. Fatty, when did you lose weight? "It's rare to be relaxed," Laizi sarcastically said while teaching the fat man how to steer.
"You two dogs know a fart! Now that the little girl's aesthetics have changed, she likes the fat man, and Zhang Quede has ribs, and no one wants them. The fat man sneezed, secretly poked Zhang Meng again, and muttered: "Zhang Quede, you go and ask the little lady, what happened just now?" ”
"I'm not going, I'm going to you." Zhang Meng glanced at Ye Jiu, who was sitting on the bow of the boat silently, and said.
"Cut, don't pull it down." Seeing Ye Jiu's cold expression, the fat man was still a little scared and didn't dare to ask.
"Hmph, you want me to be a substitute for you, no way." Zhang Meng saw through the fat man's little Jiujiu and said with a smile: "Since Brother Jiu'er doesn't say it, there must be his reason, why do you care so much?" ”
When Lai Zi heard this, a trace of abnormality flashed in his eyes, and he immediately regained his lazy appearance, and asked Zhang Meng: "Brother Ah Meng, I was at the helm of the cabin just now, and I didn't see what was going on, so you can tell me!" ”
"See that knife?" Seeing that Laizi was curious, the fat man immediately boasted.
"See, what's wrong." Lai Zi asked puzzledly, "Isn't that a fast snow knife?" ”
"You know all this blood?" The fat man said.
"Don't talk nonsense, I've been messing around with you for a long time, and I can't even recognize the fast snow knife, like words?" Lai Zi stabbed the fat man, and said suspiciously: "I remember, there is no blood in that group of dry corpses?" Whose blood was on that knife? ”
"Little sissy." The fat man smashed his mouth and said, "I said, this little lady is really ruthless, she actually cut such a deep cut, the whole palm, oops...... It almost didn't hurt me! ”
"Brother Jiu's blood, you hurt a fart." Seeing that the fat man's boasting was done again, Zhang Meng hurriedly turned around and scolded.
"Alas, don't I feel sorry for Brother Jiu?"
"I said fatty, are you looking for a fight? Can you say anything more? Lai Zi said.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Zhang Meng scolded the fat man, and said with a puzzled face: "Judging from the beginning, the Kuaixue Knife can't deter the group of dry corpses at all, but for some reason, after Brother Jiu smeared the Kuaixue Knife with his own blood, this group of dry corpses ran around in fright as if they had encountered some natural enemy." Hey, Laizi, do you think Brother Jiu'er's blood is really so evil? ”
Raiko shook her head and fell into deep thought.
The three of them couldn't understand why this was happening, and no one dared to ask Ye Jiu the reason.
In the end, Zhang Meng still shook his head and scolded: "Forget it, anyway, those dry corpses are gone, it's useless to think so much." ”
"The corpse is gone!" Hearing Zhang Meng mention this, the fat man scolded with a look of annoyance: "Damn, those Qin Dynasty treasures I collected were also swept away by the big waves." ”
"Who made you not look at your antiques well, and delusionally wanted to covet the treasure in another boat, and if you didn't find the treasure, not to mention, and led to a group of dried corpses! It's good luck and bad luck that you're also swept away by the big waves. Zhang Meng, who was at the helm, turned around and smiled at the fat man.
"You still say? It's not you yet. Seeing Zhang Meng fall into the well, the fat man shouted angrily.
Lai Zi also took the opportunity to taunt: "Hey, if you find a rope to tie the baby to your body, can you still be swept away by the tide?" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" The fat man glared at Lai Zi angrily and said, "There are so many treasures, can I fit it in my backpack?" There is also that kind of life-and-death situation, there are huge waves in front and dry corpses in the back, who the hell can take care of those antiques. ”
"Hey...... I thought you were going to die if you wanted money! Raiko smiled faintly.
"I do." The fat man spread his hands, looked at the plank under his feet, and suddenly let out a snicker, and comforted himself: "But fortunately, there is still this Qin ship, and it will definitely be sold for a good price if you get it back." ”
"You can get it out of here." Zhang Meng said helplessly.
"Cut, since there is a waterway in this place, who can guarantee that there will not be a waterway back?" The fat man smiled: "I see! Those dry river valleys are actually waterways into the mountains, maybe Xu Fu took this waterway to get in. ”
"That's right." Zhang Meng thought about it in confusion, and asked Lai Zi again: "Brother Lai Zi, what do you think of this waterway?" ”
Laizi thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, but I've seen it before, the direction we are moving in the right direction now, and the route is also rolled according to the sheepskin, according to what the fat man said, it is really possible that this is a waterway for a long time." It's just that I didn't expect to be hit by us by mistake and walked such a road, but fortunately, we came in in July and August, and it was when the water was the most fierce. ”
"Good luck, of course." Zhang Meng said with a smile: "This river water has not risen in the morning or night, but when we were glued to the group of dry corpses, it suddenly broke out, do you think we are lucky?" ”
"I was almost not shot into a hedgehog by Qin's crossbow, but I was lucky." The fat man pouted and said, "If it weren't for the little lady, a few of us would really be in danger of losing our lives!" ”
"Just escape safely, whatever." Seeing that the fat man was still worried about the antiques, Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Let's see if there is a hint of this waterway on the two parchment rolls!" ”
"When you say that, I remember." The fat man patted his head, picked up the parchment roll he had accidentally found on the boat, pointed to the route on it and said, "Hey! I said that there is something wrong with the route on this parchment roll, and it turns out that the route marked with color is the waterway......
"Is it really documented?" Hearing the fat man say this, Lai Zi's eyebrows moved.
"I'll you dead fat man, why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhang Meng scolded.
"Damn, I didn't expect this route with a different color to be a waterway?" The fat man shirked and said, "Who the hell knew that such a high place would have a high tide." ”
"Everyone was almost killed by your carelessness." Zhang Meng didn't entangle with the fat man more, but urged: "Take a closer look, there is any written record of the route we took, and where is the end of this waterway." ”
"Wait, I'll see!" This time, the fat man didn't dare to be careless anymore, and hurriedly distinguished it carefully.
Zhang Meng and Lai Zi didn't bother, just waited carefully for the fat man's news.
After waiting for a while, I saw the fat man muttering with a confused face: "Hey, why is it gone here?" ”
"Don't mumble, make it clear." Lai Zi hurriedly asked.
"See for yourselves." The fat man pointed to the parchment roll and said, "This waterway ends here." ”
"The end?" Hearing the fat man say the end point, Zhang Meng hurriedly turned his head to look sideways, and when he saw that the end point was painted with the same color, he asked puzzledly: "There is still water at the end point?" What's going on? Isn't the end a tomb? ”
"That's what I don't understand." The fat man said with a sigh.
"I'll go." Zhang Meng's eyes widened.
Only frowned: "It seems that the end of the river should be a waterhole." ”
"Waterhole?" Zhang Meng's expression changed: "Is it another underwater tomb?" ”
"Maybe it's sinking." The fat man said: "Look at this sudden waterway, it is very likely that this waterway will sink the tomb." ”
"It's all just speculation now, and we won't know until we reach the end." Raiko nodded and said.
"Did it say where the waterhole is?" Zhang Meng asked.
Lai Zi fell into deep thought, and the fat man on the side pointed to the words on it and said, "This is said to be the holy water of Yaochi in West Kunlun." ”
"Yaochi?" Zhang Meng shook his head: "Laizi, have you heard of it?" ”
"Uh...... Belch. ”
Looking at Laizi in a daze, Zhang Meng and the fat man hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Lai Zi hurriedly explained: "I have heard a little about the legend of Yao Chi, it is rumored that under Yao Chi can go straight to the nine heavens, it is the ancestor of the world's water sources, but ......"
"But what?" Zhang Meng and the fat man stared at Lai Zi and asked.
"The rumored Yao Chi shouldn't be here!" Lai Ziman looked at the water outside the cabin in confusion and muttered, "Could it be that the previous record is wrong?" Or am I ......"
