Chapter 204: Brave Exploration of the Underwater City
This is already his second hexagram, and the first hexagram made him blush, as if he was now hiding alone in the house, and if he played such a hexagram in public, he would really be a shame.
The first hexagram actually played a water hexagram, and the main water flooded Huainan.
Not to mention that now the Huai River has been rarely frozen, the river surface has become ice, even if there is water, Huainan City is such a tall city wall, how can the Huai River be flooded, how big the water and how high the water surface is! With such a high water surface, the four miles and eight towns have already leaked out the water, where can Huainan City be flooded, this hexagram is really a big failure.
Zuo Ci slowly picked up the hexagram, there were words in his mouth, a hexagram was sprinkled, the hexagram flipped a few times on the table, and it was settled.
Zuo Ci smiled bitterly, he originally wanted to calculate whether he would still have life after the city was broken, but he didn't expect that the two hexagrams would be flooded with Huainan, it seems that this is the will of heaven, but this hexagram is not only related to his own life, but also related to the life and death of the whole city, he sighed, put away the hexagram, and decided to report this result to Wei Qing, Wei Qing's belief or disbelief is his business, but knowing this result and not reporting it is his Zuo Ci's business.
As soon as Zuo Ci entered Wei Qing's courtyard, he saw an old man with white hair, and he didn't know how old he was, he was trembling and walking out, Wei Qing personally supported him, and said all the way, "Be careful, you go slowly!" ”
"What I said, General Wei must remember!" The old man shouted loudly.
In fact, Wei Qing was by his side, but it seemed that the old man should have bad ears, so he unconsciously amplified his voice when he spoke.
"Definitely, definitely!" Wei Qing replied loudly almost in the old man's ear.
Seeing off the old man, Wei Qing looked at Zuo Ci and said with a smile: "This old man is a boatman from the Huai River, and he told me a very interesting thing just now!" ”
Zuo Ci smiled: "I hope what he said is more interesting than what I said!" ”
Wei Qing heard what Zuo Ci said and asked, "What is Daoist Zuo going to say!" ”
"About the matter of water", Zuo Ci sighed: "The poor road even played two hexagrams, but it was actually flooded Huainan City!" ”
Wei Qing's expression suddenly became extremely surprised: "Daoist Zuo, the old man just now also came to talk about this matter, he said, he has only seen this situation once before in his life, and that time, the water flooded Huainan City!" ”
Wei Qing, Zuo Ci, and Bai Buxin sat together, this matter is too important, the Jin army killed Zu Ti, the people are in turmoil, and the matter of flooding Huainan City cannot be known to too many people until it is determined, so Wei Qing only found Bai Buxin, plus Zuo Ci, and the three of them studied this matter together.
"This is not just the hexagram of the left Dao chief!" Wei Qing said to Bai Buxin: "The old man said that when he was ten years old, the sky was also so abnormal, and as a result, a few days later, the river thawed, the upstream thawed first, but the downstream did not thaw, and the upstream thawed ice floe was blocked in the downstream, forming an ice dam, and as a result, the upstream water was blocked, and finally the head of water several feet high was held up, flooding Huainan City!" ”
"There is a solution, there is no solution!" Bai Buxin frowned.
"Nope!" Wei Qing was also worried.
"Yes!" Zuo Ci said.
Wei Qing and Bai Buxin looked at Zuo Ci together.
"The five elements are born together: gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing: gold and wood, wood and earth, earth and water, water and fire, fire and gold ,,,,,!" Zuo Ci began to say the reason.
"Daoist Zuo, please use our mortal language!" Wei Qing interrupted Zuo Ci.
"That is, if I can solve this problem with soil and water!" Zuo Ci used the simplest language.
Wei Qing and Bai Buxin shook their heads at each other: "Daoist Zuo, let's not go out of the city to build a dam!" ”
"Of course not!" Zuo Ci replied: "This hexagram is strange enough! He pointed to the hexagram on the table: "It seems that we have a way to crack it in the city, and it is from the underground, but it is also strange that the poor road is poor, how can this city solve this danger from the underground!" ”
Bai Buxin slapped the table violently, and the hexagrams on the table jumped up: "That's right, Zuo Dao Chang is really a god!" ”
Wei Qing and Zuo Ci stared wide-eyed, waiting for Bai Buxin to explain.
Bai Buxin said: "I took over the work of the ancestral general, and I saw an interesting story in the file, saying that there is a dry well in the west of the city, and it is rumored that this is the passage to the underground, and every time someone pays tribute to their relatives here, it also caused a fire, and I have seen it at that time. ”
Wei Qing was silent, the matter of ghosts and gods, after all, is Xuanxuan, but now the possibility of flooding Huainan is very large, and the solution is only this Xuanxuan type, if you don't try, I'm afraid there is no other possibility.
"Okay!" Wei Qing said: "I'll go down tomorrow to find out and see what is down there!" ”
"I'll go!" Bai Buxin said, "You have to rule the whole city!" ”
Wei Qing shook his head: "I'll go better!" He said as he looked down at his chest.
Bai Buxin no longer argued, Wei Qing lowered his head and looked at his Chixiao Sword, with this artifact, it was naturally much safer than Bai Buxin.
"Tomorrow it's up to the three of us to find out about it!" Wei Qing instructed again: "This matter should not be spread outside, so as not to cause suspicion and panic!" Bai Buxin nodded immediately, but Zuo Ci didn't make a sound, just stared blankly at the hexagram on the table, the hexagram was slapped by Bai Buxin, and it was actually shot into a fierce hexagram, and the main loss was a general.
Early the next morning, the genius was bright, Wei Qing, Zuo Ci, and Bai Buxin were already standing by the well, this is the west corner of the city, there is no one in the morning, and the location is remote, so there is no one else here except the three of them.
The rope had been lowered, Wei Qing stopped, and said to Bai Buxin: "Everything in the city is entrusted to you, no matter what is below?" I will return in an hour! ”
Bai Buxin looked at Wei Qing and wanted to say something like "pay attention to safety", but thinking that such words were all empty words, he only said: "Don't stay for a long time!" ”
Wei Qing nodded, he grabbed the rope and slowly climbed down.
After a few zhang dropped, the sunlight could no longer shine, and Wei Qing's side began to become dark, only a flash of light was still at the wellhead.
Wei Qing slowly poked down, and with a slam under his feet, he had reached the bottom of the well.
He stood at the bottom of the well, lit a torch, and looked around, but saw a hole in the wall of the well on the left that only one person could barely drill into, and it seemed that there was a reason for the legend of this well.
He was about to probe into the cave, and under the firelight, he saw a line of words written on the wall of the well next to the cave, he took a closer look, and couldn't help but take a step back, and hit the wall of the well behind him with his back.
That line of words is: "Xu Xiake entered Surabaya City from this, and the lettering is a memory!" ”
It turned out that the entrance to the underwater city that Xu Xiake said was here.
Wei Qing couldn't care about the surprise anymore and struggled to climb into the hole.
The cave is very small, Wei Qing can only crawl on all fours, after a few feet, the eyes suddenly open up, but it is a passage that can go straight, see that this passage is not done by man, the four walls are damp, it should be an underground river or something, but now there is no water.
Wei Qing walked along this passage, walked nearly a hundred zhang, and expected to be out of the city at this time, and with a turn in front of him, he entered a slightly inclined passage downward.
Wei Qing didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he just walked boldly, and in the darkness, only his torch illuminated his surroundings.
I don't know how long I walked, suddenly there was a sound of water, Wei Qing felt pain in his ear drums, he couldn't breathe, and there seemed to be an invisible hand pushing in front of him, but he couldn't move forward.
He was secretly frightened for a while, touching the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and looked around, but no one was there.
Wei Qing slowly squatted down and moved forward little by little, this move was really good. Although there is still a sense of pushing in the face, he can move forward, he moved a good distance little by little, and suddenly the resistance in front of him disappeared, Wei Qing was caught off guard, and fell to the ground, Wei Qing pressed his hand on the ground and was about to stand up, but suddenly exclaimed, the anger stretched forward, and his hand grabbed the hand of another person.
Under the firelight, an old man fell peacefully in front of him, his face clear and lifelike, but his body seemed to have been drained of water and became a dried corpse.
Wei Qing's heart was beating wildly, and he poked around with a torch, only to see a lot of corpses lying in front of him, men and women, old and young, all of them looked like they were alive, but their bodies were dry and had become dried corpses.
Whether this is the Surabaya City that sank underwater, Wei Qing was anxious to solve this question, and looked around with a torch, trying to find a recognizable mark.
He actually found it.
Not far in front is a broken street, and at the entrance of the street there is a stone monument, although the monument is broken, but the words on it are still faintly visible: Surabaya City, North Market Street.
Wei Qing let out a long breath.
It seems that this is Surabaya City, what is going on with this magical underwater waterless city, he can't know, how this city can solve the disaster of flooding Huainan, he doesn't know, but at least he knows one thing, that is, he can finally bury these unjust souls who died in vain, and a knot in the hearts of the people of Huainan has been untied.
Wei Qing went to find the source of the sound of water, looking for it, the sound of water seemed to come from the top of his head, Wei Qing looked up, and couldn't help but gasp.
More than ten feet above the head, faintly revealing a bright light, you can see the rippling water, it looks like a river, this water is actually on the head and does not fall, but it is really evil enough.
Wei Qing thought about it, he didn't understand what was going on, he mustered up the courage to walk forward, only to see that the houses collapsed in all directions, the broken walls were ruined, it was obvious that a city was shaken down, the city was full of corpses, different shapes, but most of the corpses remained intact, I don't know why they died, they didn't go far, the front was shining, and there was a wall of water in front of them, it seemed that the city was like a big bubble, there was water on the top and on all sides, only the location of the city was without water.
Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
