Chapter 407: A Blackwater River
Chen Xueping, how could it be Chen Xueping???!!!
The name Chen Xueping is too familiar, Mr. Chen Xueping, Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui all know each other, and not long ago, they all met.
If the deceased at this moment is Chen Xueping, then who is the old man that Zhou Xiaolong once saved?!
No, no, it's just a duplicate name.
However, Zhou Xiaolong also clearly knew that when Mr. Chen Xueping was young, his profession was geological exploration.
Could it be that this is just a simple coincidence?!
"Hey, Brother Xiaolong, you...... What happened to you?! Jin Hui saw Zhou Xiaolong's face turned pale, and hurriedly asked.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, maybe it's too depressing, I'm a little out of breath! Zhou Xiaolong smiled at Jin Hui and prevaricated.
"Since there's nothing to see, let's go!" The black fox didn't pay much attention and began to urge everyone to move forward.
The man in black who had checked the bones just now casually threw the work card next to the bones, and when Zhou Xiaolong passed by, he quietly picked up the work card and put it in his pocket.
When he went back, Zhou Xiaolong had to ask Chen Xueping what was going on, I hope it was just a coincidence.
Jin Hui turned around and didn't see Zhou Xiaolong grinding behind, he walked over and pulled Zhou Xiaolong, and said, "Hey, what are you doing so much, we have a goal, Brother Xiaolong, what are you really talking to the bones of this dead man!" ”
Then, the group continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for everyone to come to the river, where the camera stopped.
The man in black held a large flashlight to shine on the water, and a strong light shone on the river.
Why is the water so dark, it seems that it is not water but ink, and so many strong lights can't even shine through the bottom of the river.
Looking down from above, it looks like a black abyss, if you want to wade through the river, obviously you can't, who knows if this water is poisonous, or how deep the water is?!
Black Fox suggested that he walk further ahead and see if he could get around.
Then, everyone walked towards the front for about ten minutes, and the person in front suddenly stopped.
Zhou Xiaolong saw that the people in front of him stopped, he stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, under the illumination of the strong light, there was already a rock wall in front of him, blocking people's way, it seemed that there was no road in front of him, and it had become a dead end.
Moreover, in the middle of the rock wall, there was a hole four or five meters wide, and a large amount of black water was gushing out of it.
There was no way ahead, the river was flowing out of the stone wall, and it was obvious that it was impossible for the black fox to make a detour upstream.
There was no way, the black fox sighed heavily and set his eyes on Zhou Xiaolong and Jin Hui.
The expression on Jin Hui's face was not good-looking, and he said to the black fox: "I see, the black water in this underground is extraordinary, I estimate that the situation in this downstream is similar to that in this upstream, there should also be a hole flowing out, and the method of detouring will not work......"
Jin Hui's words made the black fox's eyes dim a little, but he looked at Zhou Xiaolong again, Zhou Xiaolong smiled bitterly and said: "In this case, I don't have any good way, but I don't recommend wading through the black water, because I feel that this water is not only extremely cold, it seems to be corrosive, in case the water splashes on the body, it is very dangerous!" ”
"Then what should I do, can't I do it?!"
"yes, why don't we go up and cut down a few big trees to make a bridge?"
"That's right, that's what you said!"
A few people were talking in a low voice, and suddenly, Jin Hui shouted: "Come and see, there seems to be a raised stone here, very strange!?" ”
It turned out that just when everyone was at a loss, Jin Hui took a strong light to shine on the wall, this guy was very unwilling, and his heart was also careful, and he found a raised stone.
Probably Jin Hui didn't think much about it, and after speaking, his hand unconsciously pressed down on the raised stone......
Zhou Xiaolong didn't have time to stop it, he only felt a shaking under his feet, and at the water outlet of the stone wall, a circular stone door slowly descended, sealing the hole where the water came out, and actually cut off the black water that was bubbling down.
"This ...... What's ......," the two men in black said almost together.
The black fox also raised a strong light to shine towards the stone door, only to see that the stone door was densely patterned, but it was no longer possible to see what the pattern was.
Jin Hui wiped the cold sweat from his head, he was also confused by the stone gate he had made, and touched the back of his head, but he was at a loss.
But fortunately, as the stone gate fell, the underground river gradually dried up, and after a while, the bottom of the river was exposed.
"Brother Xiaolong, what do you think?!" Jin Hui cast a puzzled look at Zhou Xiaolong.
"This black water flow is artificially designed." Zhou Xiaolong said firmly.
"That's what I thought, but who did it?" The black fox frowned and exclaimed, "It's incredible to be able to design the flow of black water!" ”
Perhaps no one can answer these questions now, after all, these things belong to the relics of ancient wisdom, and the wisdom of ancient people is difficult for people today to understand.
Now that the black water had dried up, a man in black had already proposed to cross the river, and then everyone stepped on the bottom of the river with their feet in turn, ready to step over.
However, when the soles of the shoes fell on the mud at the bottom of the river, the soles of people's shoes immediately made a "sizzling" sound, and white smoke and a smell of rubber came out.
This shows that the black water really has a strong corrosive effect!!
Fortunately, the shoes people wore were relatively heavy and sturdy, and the river was not wide, and the five of them ran and jumped, and the five of them passed through the Heishui River.
Across the opposite side of the river, Zhou Xiaolong could only vaguely see a stone platform, and now when he came here, he looked at it, and a round arched stone platform more than a foot high stood in front of him.
The whole stone platform is made of blue-gray rocks, and there is a stone staircase at the foot to reach the top.
As for what is above, the person standing below is invisible for the time being!
Such a shape, it looks like an altar?!
The black water and the altar, all of this shows that this cave was not naturally formed, or that it was artificially designed in the later period, and it was cleverly designed to finally form the current effect.
The five of them stood below and were stunned for a while, and all they could do now was to go up to the stone platform to see what was going on.
The black fox couldn't bear it anymore and was the first to climb the stone ladder, followed by Jin Hui and Zhou Xiaolong.
Zhou Xiaolong walked behind Jin Hui, and he seemed to feel that Jin Hui's steps were a little hurried and uneasy.
Zhou Xiaolong didn't know what Jin Hui's mood was at this moment?!
