Volume 1 Jinghua Fengyun (I) Chapter 40 Underground Dark River
"Brother Chengfeng, are you okay? Where are you? I can't see you! Wu Jingmo's voice came from afar. I only hear his voice, but I don't see his people.
"I'm down there! Underneath the Dark Tunnel! Watch out! Lu Chengfeng replied loudly, patted his ass and stood up.
Under the dark passage, the sound of the water flow is chaotic, as if there is a dark river, flowing endlessly. Lu Chengfeng was about to follow the sound, but he forgot that the fire fold was still in Wu Jingmo's hands, so he had to be trapped in this square inch of darkness and couldn't get out.
"Brother Chengfeng, are you okay?" A round head poked out of the secret passage, looked around nervously, and saw him standing unharmed on the ground below the secret passage, so he relaxed, smiled, and said, "I thought you were ambushed!" I'm so scared that I use my hands and feet at the same time, and I want to turn into a gecko and crawl desperately to you! ”
Lu Chengfeng saw that his round head was covered with dust, and his clean little white face was also rubbed with a lot of mud, and he couldn't help laughing, and looked up, but saw that on the wall under the firelight, there were several big knives, which were driven into the six-foot-high wall one after another, like an ingenious ladder!
"Brother Jingmo, it's pretty good to have me in front of you! Look, someone here has made a ladder-like knife staircase, and you can climb down this staircase slowly, but you don't have to suffer like I just now! ”
Lu Chengfeng touched his aching knee, and joked optimistically, thinking that just now, the master fell directly! Fortunately, I've been used to it since I was a child, and it's nothing to fall down, if it's Wu Jingmo, then I will suffer!
Wu Jingmo cautiously stepped on the knife steps and climbed down. The fire had burned out, and they were plunged into darkness where they could not see their fingers.
Lu Chengfeng was worried, but Wu Jingmo didn't know where to take out another one, and hurriedly lit it up.
"I said you're a wholesale fire fold?" Lu Chengfeng said with a smile, thinking to himself, it would be nice if there was a lighter, it would be much more convenient to use than this thing! I will make a lighter and sell it in this Dajing Dynasty, and I will definitely make a lot of money!
Wu Jingmo saw that he was smiling stupidly, and he didn't know what daydream he was doing, so he also quipped, "Take precautions, take precautions!" Do you miss your fairy again? ”
Lu Chengfeng rolled his eyes at him, pouted, and said, "you!" Let's go find the river! Did you hear it, it's the sound of the water, it sounds like it's not small! ”
"Behind you! He also said that he was not too vain in his fugue, and he missed your fairy! Wu Jingmo covered his mouth with his hand and laughed non-stop.
Lu Chengfeng hurriedly turned around. I saw that the water was gurgling, and the water surface was one zhang wide, and it was indeed an underground dark river. But the dark river is indeed still and the water flows deeply, and the sound of the water in my ears is not at all like the sound of this dark river, but like the sound of some rapid flow back and forth, and it sounds like the water is turbulent.
The two of them followed the sound and searched downstream along the dark river. Although the road of the dark river is wide, the dirt road that stirs up the river is muddy and difficult to walk, and the two of them walked for a long time, but they have not reached the end of the dark river.
At the end of the dark river, wisps of light were shining through, attracting them, and they struggled to go to the place of light.
Finally, I finally walked to the poor place of water, and I realized that there was a waterfall! On the waterfall, the water splashes, and there are countless tiny water droplets, and under the reflection of the sky that gradually begins to clear, it is like countless smoke and dust rising, and there is a strange and spectacular sense of smoke and waves!
Unexpectedly, under the hanging waterfall, there is the Ying River! Before they knew it, they had crossed half of the imperial city, and they had come to the West City, and it was on the side of the most prosperous and lively Yinghua Street, on the bank of the Ying River! It turned out that the waterfall under his feet was actually the Yinghe Waterfall with the reputation of Jinghua City!
"Brother Chengfeng, look, this is ......" Wu Jingmo seemed to suddenly find something, squatted down, and fished out a small flower from the crack in the rock under his feet.
"Or you're meticulous! Presumably this is the Phnom Penh Ruixiang I threw down in the Jiangfu culvert! Lu Chengfeng took the flower and looked at it carefully, "I didn't expect that the branches and leaves of this flower were taken away by this turbulent flowing water, but this flower is still stubbornly standing between the stone cracks!" God help me! ”
"So the culvert of Najiang Mansion can indeed lead to this underground dark river! And this underground dark river leads to the Yinghe Waterfall! Wu Jingmo just started reasoning, but suddenly paused, turned his head to the road in confusion and embarrassment, and asked, "Here is the Yinghe Waterfall, why is there no way out?" ”
Lu Chengfeng also squatted down, cautiously poked his head out of the waterfall hole, and looked at it. This Yinghe waterfall, to say the least, is also three zhang high! Moreover, the water is very turbulent after a thousand miles! There is indeed no way out!
The case has become extremely anxious again! Seeing that the east has gradually turned white, the moment when Mao is opening the city gate is about to come!
Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo were anxious like two ants on a hot pot, and they kept spinning in place. I only hate that I can't give birth to wings, soar into the sky, and fly straight to the gate of the city!
"What can I do? Brother Chengfeng, what can you do? Wu Jingmo said anxiously.
"Not yet!" Lu Chengfeng is also anxious at the moment! 、
"Why don't we both go back the same way we came first?" Wu Jingmo frowned, and coldly suggested, after all, there is no countermeasure, it is better to go back!
"How long will it take to start from this ruined temple and run to the city gate?" Lu Chengfeng asked after pondering for a moment.
"The ruined temple is in the south of the city, and the city gate is in the northernmost part of Jinghua City. From the broken temple to the city gate, the north and south have to run through the entire Jinghua City! Even if it's fast, it will take half an hour! If you walk, it's a lot slower, if you measure it with me and me, a man's steps, it is estimated that you have to walk for an hour, and it may not be there! The murderer was a petite and thin woman, and even if she was agile, it would take more than an hour! ”
After Wu Jingmo blurted out, he felt even more angry! When I thought that they would never be able to block the city gate and take the suspicion when they were right, I felt that my chest was faintly stuffy.
"Then what if you start from Yinghua Street and go to the city gate?" Lu Chengfeng then asked.
"If you hurry up, you can arrive in about a quarter of an hour! If you still walk on your legs, it will take you more than two quarters of an hour or less than three quarters of an hour to reach the northernmost gate! Wu Jingmo replied without thinking.
"I see!" Lu Chengfeng looked up at the morning glow in the eastern sky, and said with a sly smile, "The dawn of hope has come!" ”
