Chapter 41: Rongdong Town (1)
"Arrived"
Yun Xi saw the familiar white carriage at the entrance of the town, and knew that it had arrived, Shui Yun walked to the entrance of the town first, and there was a huge stone tablet at the entrance of the town, and Shui Yun read the words "Rongdong Town" engraved on the stone tablet
"Get in the car, let's go in" Bai Quan got into the carriage first, beckoning the others
Through the curtain of the carriage, you can see the surrounding stone walls, on which some murals are carved, the carriage is speeding very fast, Yun Xi has not yet seen the contents of the murals, the carriage drove into a darkness, after a long time, the carriage stopped, and everyone got out of the carriage
It was almost dark, with only a glimmer of light streaming in, and the sound of water droplets echoed in my ears
Mizuyun's voice trembled a little, "Where is this?"
After Bai Quan got out of the car, he was looking around, and after a while, Bai Quan said: "You come to see this piece of jade, we can be regarded as the real Rongdong Town."
I saw a piece of jade in the darkness emitting a faint green light, and the three words "Rongdong Town" on it were particularly conspicuous in the darkness
Under the firelight, everyone is in a cave-like place, there are many strange stalactites and stalagmites on the top of the cave, each stalactite and stalagmite is artificially pierced, and the light penetrates through the hole in the stalactite and stalagmite, if you don't look carefully, you will feel that the stalactites and stalagmites shine by themselves
Shui Yun said: "This town is in a cave? ”
Bai Quan said: "It is very likely that the traces of artificial carving here are obvious, since it is a town, there will definitely be groundwater, we should be able to find a place to live by following the direction of the water flow."
Yun Mu said: "Shui Yun, you can check if there are any living beings around."
Bai Quan said: "Leave the black prison, can Shui Yun's trick still be used?" ”
Yun Mu nodded to Bai Quan and replied, Shui Yun drew a circle on the ground, changing from a human form to a mermaid form, rotating around the circle drawn
After the water cloud stopped turning, it turned into a human form again, and his expression was very strange, "There are no living creatures around, but I can feel something near us, the creepy kind"
After Shui Yun finished speaking, everyone began to be on guard, and suddenly the ground rolled up, and the groundwater gushed out
Yun Mu said: "Everyone be careful, hold your breath!" As he spoke, he grabbed the nearest Yunxi, and everyone was brought into the water by the groundwater, and they didn't know how long they rolled in the water, and they were washed to the shore by the waves
Yunmu cast a fire spell to illuminate the surroundings, Shui Yun and Ah Qiang are shark people after all, except for some embarrassment, there are no external injuries on their bodies, and the knife and Xiaoxiao turned into the original form of a weapon, lying wet on the shore
The water waves rolled too quickly, Bai Quan fell into the water before he performed the water avoidance technique, at the moment he kept coughing on the shore, at the time of the incident, Yun Xi was next to Yun Mu, and was pulled closer to the water shelter by Yun Mu, Yun Xi's face was a little pale, it seemed that he was frightened, but it was no big deal, Yun Mu saw that everyone was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and woke up the Yandao and Xiaoxiao
Ah Qiang said: "Ghost King, I just saw something in the water, a bit like a fish, but it's different from a fish"
Yun Xi said: "Fish? Look around to see if there are any murals, I saw some when we were in the carriage, but the carriage was passing too fast to see clearly"
The crowd began to look for murals on the surrounding walls, and after a while, they found that all the walls were carved with murals, and the contents of the murals were the same
Bai Quan said: "This mural is to say, this town used to be the capital of a small country, the elder brother killed his younger brother to become the king, and married his brother's daughter-in-law as the queen, since the death of the younger brother, the queen cries every day, the king thought of a lot of ways can not stop the queen crying, one day the capital came to a fairy with antlers on his head, taught the king a way, that is, as long as the queen cries, the king will kill a slave in front of the queen, when killing the hundredth slave, the queen finally stopped crying, the king is very happy, Soon after, when the flood came, the immortals took the king's subjects to heaven and told them that if they wanted to avoid the flood, they had to live in the cave forever, so they began to build caves."
Xiao Xiaodao: "What do the immortals want to get by helping this king so much?" ”
Bai Quan said: "What do you think is different from other murals? ”
Xiaoxiao looked at it carefully and said: "It's color, the colors of the first few pictures are very rich, but the color of this pair is very monotonous, which makes people feel very depressed."
Bai Quan said: "This is the follow-up of the story, after the king and his subjects lived in the cave, the immortals ordered them to find something, it seems that they have been looking for a long, long time, until the king's grandson has not been found to succeed to the throne, because the cave is dark, this king's grandson, I call him the third generation of kings, the three generations of kings want to return to the ground, the immortals do not allow it, the three generations of kings lead their subjects to fight with the immortals, the result is obvious, the immortals won, and the king's people have become fish, and live here forever"
Ah Qiang said: "Then those fish I saw in the water are the people of the three generations of kings?" ”
Shui Yun said on the side: "No, I can't feel the breath of any living beings."
"Boom" the underground river cracked from it, split into two streams, and in the middle of it appeared a staircase, on which was a majestic palace
Everyone looked at Yun Mu, who pressed a mechanism on the mural
Yun Mu said: "Only on this mural, there is the appearance of the treasure that the immortals are looking for, Bai Quan, do you think it will be a fragment of the key?"
Bai Quan said: "Is it possible, should we go up and have a look?" ”
Yun Xi said: "Since they are all here, we must find out, let's go"
The people walked to the palace on the steps, the palace was majestic, and every corner of the roof of the palace hung a fishtail, through which the water flowed, and from a distance, the palace was hidden in a curtain of water, and the doors of the palace were open, and the floor was transparent so that the water could be clearly seen
Xiaoxiaodao: "Didn't see the fish?" ”
Yun Xi said: "Put out the fire, don't speak"
Everyone extinguished the fire, and the surroundings fell silent, only the water under the floor shone with a little starlight in the darkness, and Yunxi knocked on the floor, and everyone crouched down to observe the water flow carefully
"His uncle's!" Xiao Xiao bounced off the ground at once, cast a fire spell, and cursed
Bai Quan asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoxiao gasped and said: "Damn, there are monsters in this water, I watched this water flow carefully, a yellow fish swam over, I kept staring, but the fish suddenly turned sideways, and a human face appeared in front of me, damn, scared to death"
Yandao said: "It's just a human face, it's not like you haven't seen it"
Xiao Xiaodao: "You've seen half a human face, half a fish face!" And a look that looks very cunning."
Yun Mu said: "Xiaoxiao, in what direction do you see that fish swimming?" ”
Xiao Xiaodao: "It seems to have swam into the palace"
Yun Xi said: "Turn off the fire, look for it again, whoever finds it this time, chase it directly"
It was dark again, Ah Qiang seemed to have found something, and began to run, and everyone chased after Ah Qiang, and chased to a bronze in the hall, only to see yellow, blue, and red fish jumping into the bronze one after another
Ah Qiang said: "This is? ”
Yun Mu stepped forward and cast a fire spell, illuminating the inside of the bronze vessel, and said, "Empty, those fish jumped in and disappeared"
After hearing this, Yun Xi walked directly to the bronze and was about to jump down, but was pulled by Yun Mu: "Xi'er, don't worry"
Yun Xi said: "My intuition tells me that there is an answer below"
Yun Mu supported his forehead, Yun Xi is a woman, she has a strong sense of action, last time Wuxia Town was also, she ran out without saying a word, Yun Mu said: "Wait a minute" After speaking, Yun Mu put a fireball at the bronze, the fireball touched the bottom of the bronze, and it bounced back, Yun Mu didn't expect it to rebound, and instantly dodged, or was burned off a corner of his sleeve, Yun Xi saw this, and put a water ball on the bronze, and the fireball was bounced back
Yun Xi said: "Strange, this bronze has a bottom, where did these fish go?" ”
Yun Mu said to Ah Qiang: "Ah Qiang, you turn into a fish, Rui Huan, you tie the Xuan thread to him"
(Note: Rui Huan and Hongyue have been cultivating in the Demon Realm since they came back from the Black Prison (this matter has been mentioned earlier), and this time they also came with Yun Xi and them, and Rui Huan and Hongyue had already learned Yunmu's identity when they were in the Demon Realm)
Rui Huan will tie to Ah Qiang's body, Ah Qiang jumped into the bronze as a fish, Ah Qiang just fell into the bronze, just like a carp was bounced out, Ah Qiang's fish body was caught by Yunmu, Ah Qiang took on a human form, touched the swollen head with his hand and said: "It's so hard", looking at Ah Qiang's humble appearance, everyone laughed, and the laughter dispersed the tense air
Hongyue said: "Don't giggle, the ghost king brought a lot of fruit from the orchard, let's eat some first, take a rest, ghost king, I didn't say you, you haven't fully recovered yet, you are still flesh and blood"
Bai Quan looked at the fruits that Hongyue took out and said, "Yunmu, you won't finish picking the fruits of the orchard, will you?"
Yun Mu shook his head and said, "How could I do that kind of thing, you're right, Yandao"
Yandao nodded, continued to nibble on the fruit in his hand, and said in his heart: "Ghost King, the orchard has been emptied a long time ago, and the fruit left there is a real fruit."
Yun Mu looked at the fish that kept jumping towards the bronze and said, "You say, where did these fish go?" Aren't they tired of jumping like this? ”
Xiao Xiaodao: "If you want me to say, these fish are bored here, so they want to move their bodies, so as not to forget their swimming skills"
Yun Xi said: "Xiaoxiao, repeat your last sentence just now"
Xiaoxiaodao: "So as not to forget your ability to swim, Yunxi Junshang, what's wrong?" ”
Yun Xi patted his head and said, "I understand, but I still need to verify it" Yun Xi sat in front of the bronze and looked at the beating fish without blinking, and there was something carved on the ground
Rui Huan said to Bai Quan: "Bai Quan, do you know what's going on?" ”
Bai Quan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either
Yun Xi said, "I know"
Yunmu said: "Xi'er, tell me about it"
Yun Xi said: "It is rumored that the memory of the fish is only seven seconds, and they didn't jump into this bronze at all, this bronze is just a projection"
Bai Quan said: "What does that have to do with the fish's seven-second memory?" ”
Yun Xi said: "Do you remember what it said in the mural? These fish were originally people, but they were turned into fish, and they kept jumping into the bronze, not to remember anything, but to forget, to forget that they were people, you see these fish jumping into the bronze always one color and then another, every seven for a team, after jumping a team, the interval between seven seconds, the second team will jump, the order of jumping is red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue, red, the beginning and end of the jump must be red fish, this is a cycle"
Yun Xi continued: "You look at the whole hall, not only there is water under the floor, but also water on the wall, and there is light when there is water, this is a huge projection, the real thing, just behind this wall"
