238, Nine Palace Gossip
The huge whirlpool sucked my body into the water, and for some reason, this pool was calm on the surface, but underneath it was a turbulent and treacherous look of another world.
I quickly followed his footsteps, and I suddenly felt that these undercurrents did not seem to be formed naturally, they were like cogs that drove the mechanism, and at the moment we were moving forward on its complex trajectory.
I don't know what Lao Hei's identity is, but since he can take me to find the mechanism and save Brother Neng, it doesn't matter who he is.
Soon there were huge round stone pillars in front of our eyes, each stone pillar was carved with a huge phoenix, I couldn't help but wonder, it stands to reason that the phoenix likes fire, but at the moment it is placed in this cold and dark water, which is too abnormal, which of the totems of various phoenix birds along the way is not placed in a sacred position, it is absolutely impossible to be treated like this.
The old black swam very fast, and these huge and untidy stone pillars were quickly left behind us.
A stone jar very similar to the one we saw on the shore was found there, but it was much larger than the one on the shore.
Old Black stood there and beckoned to me.
I looked at his standing posture and felt a little incredible, it stands to reason that what people say in the water has a little effect, but at this moment, Lao Hei is like standing on the shore, and I am a little nervous.
Although the darkness under the water has no effect on me, but I definitely can't hold my breath for so long, if Lao Hei plays any tricks, I don't say anything about saving Brother Neng, whether he can survive is unknown.
My scalp stiffened, and I swam over without hesitation.
"What's going on? Who am I? Where am I? "My mind is full of these questions, at the moment I fell in front of Lao Hei like a dog gnawing mud, there is no water here, there is a thin film of water in front of us, separating us from water.
A hand was stretched out in front of me, and I didn't have to guess to know it was Lao Hei.
"What's going on?" I stood up and looked at this strange place, which was incredibly dry.
Behind Lao Hei is a large stone jar that is many circles larger than the stone jar on the shore, and the difference is that this stone jar makes me feel familiar, but I can't remember anything.
The stone jar is carved with nine lifelike swimming dragons, and it is no longer a plain and simple appearance with no patterns, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it at a glance.
"Is the mechanism here?" Black didn't answer my first question, so I asked another question.
"This is the corpse of an ancient freshwater jellyfish, otherwise we would have been digested." Lao Hei looked at the thin film of water in front of him, his eyes lit up, just like Columbus discovering the New World, both sure and surprised.
"Jellyfish? There is no mistake. "I am very skeptical of Lao Hei's statement, as far as I know, jellyfish live in the sea, not to mention that this place is far from the sea, and more importantly, this waterhole is not seawater but fresh water, and marine life cannot survive in the waters.
"Who told you that jellyfish only live in the sea." Lao Hei said disgustedly.
For the first time, I noticed that there was light in Lao Hei's eyes, and it was so enthusiastic, and it seemed that this was the purpose of his coming here.
"You haven't answered me yet, is the agency here?" I said.
Reluctantly, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the jellyfish's corpse and looked at the stone jar in front of him, "This is it, but I haven't seen how this mechanism works." ”
I can't help but want to complain, my eyes have been studying the corpse of the jellyfish since I came in, when have I paid attention to this mechanism, but I didn't say it, on the one hand, I really need him, on the other hand, I am still very grateful to him for bringing me here.
I observed over and over again around the stone tank, and each dragon on it has a different form, either angry or happy, indifferent, sad, domineering~ There is no law at all. There were a few holes in the stone jar like the one outside, and I counted nine holes like the one outside.
"What's the relationship between the nine holes and the nine dragons?" I asked.
Old Black didn't answer my question, still carefully examining the dragon on the stone jar. His eyes glowed, just like the one I was snuck to the playground by my grandfather when I was a kid. His hand was touching the stone jar at the moment and began to tremble, and it seemed that he was very excited now.
"Hahaha~ It's actually Jiugong gossip, hahaha~" Lao Hei looked like he was crazy, he couldn't stand up with a smile and a smile, and such a big strong man was holding his stomach and holding tears and laughing on the ground at the moment.
To be honest, it was a bit scary, and I didn't know what to do when I stood on the sidelines.
After a while, he stabilized a little, flipped up and threw himself towards the stone jar.
"Did you see that? The dragons' heads are all facing different directions, and if you look closely at the very small gap between the dragon's head and the stone jar, do you know what that means? They can move, and they can unlock this Nine Palaces gossip to open the mechanism. "Old Hei was extremely excited.
I don't know what Jiugong gossip is, but I do see the gap that is smaller than a hair, if it is really as Lao Hei said, then Brother Neng doesn't have to die.
"So what are you waiting for? Untie it quickly. I looked at Lao Hei and said excitedly.
The old black gave me a blank look, and then without saying a word, began to study the mechanism in front of him.
I'm not urging, but the fact is that I'm very anxious, I don't know how long it's been since I came down outside, if I can't open this mechanism earlier, then Brother Neng won't be able to save it, I can only hope for Lao Hei now, I hope he can quickly unlock this mechanism.
I stood aside, looking at the almost crazy old black, not daring to urge or speak, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
"Gossip Jiazi, the magic machine is hidden~" Lao Hei's mouth was full of words.
His hand kept rubbing the stone jar, as if he wanted to become one with the stone jar.
"Tut-tut~ Amazing, powerful, the live disk has been rotated, this is a miracle skill." Lao Hei kept sighing.
"How?" I plucked up the courage to ask.
"It's difficult, these three odds and six instruments are easy to solve, but with the eight doors and nine stars, the nine stars have been rotated in addition to the loose disk, so it is difficult to determine the position of the nine stars, originally in the eighteen games of yin and yang, the position of the nine stars is fixed, and the positions of the doors and stars are the same. Now that it's completely disrupted, it's impossible to determine which house Jiaziwu lives in, so it's only going to be more tricky. "I listened to Lao Hei's words in a fog, and finally realized that it was very difficult to open this mechanism.
I can't help but feel a little nervous in my heart, if we can't unlock this mechanism all the time, then Brother Neng will definitely not survive.
"Old Black, please be sure to untie it." I knelt in front of the old black with a pleading face.
"What are you doing here?" Old Black pulled me up and continued to study.
I looked at the waterhole above our heads, and to be honest, I couldn't see it at all, it was dark everywhere in front of me, but I still wanted to see it.
When I looked at Lao Hei again, his hand was on the sad dragon's head, and with a slight touch of my fingers, I saw that the dragon's head had fallen.
The supposed opening of the mechanism did not happen, and luckily it did not cause any attacks on the person who opened it.
Lao Hei's whole body was wet, and his face was covered with beads of sweat.
I couldn't help but grit my teeth and clenched my fists in the hope that Lao Hei would succeed.
