Chapter 19: The Underground River
I was walking in front of me, and there were two people behind me, and then the front suddenly lit up. A secret room appeared in the front, and there were candles in it, but there was nothing, and I asked the messengers in the back, and everyone followed.
After a while, everyone arrived in the secret room, this secret room is connected to a secret room, I walked to the next secret room, each secret room is the same, except for a candle nothing, when I walked to the fourth room, I just stepped into the room, there was a bang behind me, I looked back, the door, there was a stone door blocking my connection with the outside.
I pushed the stone door, did not move, I turned around, only to see that in the empty room just now, there was an old man, dressed in black, the old man was bare-faced, his face was flushed with red, his crane hair was childish, his face was kind, and he was looking at me with a smile.
Startled, I took a step back, almost clinging to the stone door.
I saw the old man open his mouth and said: "You are Li Xuanqing's disciple, you are so bold, your master can't get out of the whole body when he comes in, you are a little hairy child who has just come out of the rivers and lakes, and you dare to come to the door." On the bell tower, it was supposed to teach you a lesson to make you retreat, but who knew that the old bald donkey actually went to save you. Come in this time, you all stay. ”
"This uncle, who are you, I see that you look so good-looking, I thought you were a good person, it turns out that you are not a good thing, is this your place, I can come and leave if I want, you shouldn't have the right to care about me." I'm not polite enough to go straight to it.
The old man in black was not angry, but said: "Young man doesn't know the depth, anyway, you will die here sooner or later, don't talk nonsense with you, I'll try how many catties and taels you have." A few of your friends have now fed the fish and shrimp, and you should go see them soon. ”
As the old man spoke, he had jumped back to the door of the secret room in front of him, and I also chased after him, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a stone door falling from the sky and blocking the door.
I saw that both exits were closed, and the mechanism to open the door should not be indoors, so I walked around the house and found nothing. At this time, water gushed out from all four corners of the room.
This vicious dead old man actually wanted to drown me, thanks to the fact that the water was not very big, I looked at the four corners of the water, there was a small hole, the water pressure was not very large, I tore off a corner of the robe, blocked three of them, one of the water flow was very fast, I really couldn't stop it, I gave up, just a small hole, no matter how fast the water flowed, it would take two hours to fill this room, two hours, I could have a way out.
I untied the backpack I was carrying on my back, and there was a packet of gunpowder in it, because when I came in, there was too much gunpowder, and I also divided a bag on my back, since I couldn't open it, anyway, I would die, so I just tried my luck and blew up the stone door.
I opened the gunpowder bag and poured out half of it, because I didn't use explosives, I had blown things up, so I don't know how much it should take to blow up the stone door, if there was too much gunpowder, I would be in trouble if I blew up the secret room, I wrapped the half of the poured out and inserted the medicine twist.
At this time, the water was already up to the feet and necks, and the gunpowder could not be placed in the ground, and I looked at the bare walls. I had no choice but to take out the peachwood sword that had been with me for more than ten years, put the powder bag on the tip of the sword, put it on the stone door near the secret room where I had entered, took out the fire fold, lit the medicine twist, and after lighting it, I went to the corner and squatted on the ground.
Listening to the medicine twist, sneering, my heart rose to my throat, if it blows up badly, it will bury me here, grandpa, bless me, don't blow it up. I muttered in my heart, and the medicine twist over there finally burned, and it arrived at the medicine bag.
I just listened, boom, and I felt something lift up, and then it fell down again, and I said it in my heart. It seems that I went to see my grandfather, and when my mind was blank, I heard a plop, and then I felt cold, and I didn't die. There was water underneath the chamber, and instead of being buried by the debris of the blast, I fell into the water, but strangely enough, I did not sink into the water, but floated on the water, and I looked around, and it was dark, and the current carried me forward, and occasionally a stone touched me.
I think this is also a coincidence, exploded this underground dark river, because in the dark, my fire fold can no longer hit, I can't see anything in my eyes, I don't know where the river leads, how wide the river is, I don't know how far it floats, the water gradually slowed down, I feel that the water in the river no longer flows forward, I see the river slowing down, so I swim in one direction,
This underground river is not wide, and after a dozen swims I touched the field, but it was dark and I couldn't see anything. I climbed to the shore, which was not very wide, and after a few steps I touched the stone wall. Leaning against the stone wall, I sat down, untied my backpack and put it on the ground, and the fire fold had to be dried up, and I would have to be lit later, but I couldn't find a way out without it.
Leaning against the stone wall, I took off my clothes again, wearing wet clothes, which was really uncomfortable. Anyway, no one can see the darkness, so don't worry about going out. It wasn't very cold except for a little shade down there, so I leaned there and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the voice of "help" pulled me back from my daze. But after that sound, there was no sound, only the sound of the rushing water, could it be that he was dreaming, or he heard it wrong. No, I heard it clearly just now, how could there be no one again.
My current mentality is that no matter if it's a good person or a bad person, as long as there is one person, how good it is to have someone to accompany you in this dark underground world.
After listening and finding nothing, I sat down again. I touched the fire fold that was lying on the ground and it was dry.
I lit the fire and lit the torch. At that time, each of the four of us had torches, and because the torches were oily when they fell into the water just now, they were not affected much, and they dried after a while.
By the light of the torches, I looked around, only to see that this dark river was more than ten meters wide, with stone walls on both sides, and the water flowed here to form a lake, but when I looked at my feet, I was startled, and I saw that there were several dead people's leg bones scattered under my feet, and there was carrion on one that no one rotted, and there was a rancid smell on it, which was sticky and soft, and there was a rancid smell that came to my nose.
I looked to the shore in the distance, and there were many broken corpses scattered around, some of them just for nothing, and some of them were not yet decomposed.
