Chapter 37 Adventure in the Water
Fish?
Catching a fish in the water makes perfect sense.
I stared at the fish and began to think about whether to braise it or steam it......
Wrong!
I wondered if this fish had bumped into it by accident, or had all those strange movements just now been caused by this fish?
But a fish is just a fish, can you make that kind of white ghost?
Can't you......
I grabbed the white fish and shook it.
The white fish touched a ray of sunlight overhead, and the silver scales shimmered, reflecting the light on the cave wall.
White ghost!
At this moment, the surprise in my heart can be said to have reached the extreme: the light reflected by the fish scales is actually in the shape of a human figure, is nature so magical?
I scrutinized the white fish.
The fish are just ordinary fish, but the shape of the scales seems a bit strange.
There are some things that are hard to see with the naked eye.
I held out a finger and stroked it over the scales.
Flat, flat, low, low, flat......
Can't be wrong, on the scales, there are obvious artificial traces!
Who is so boring that they make such a thing on a fish?
More critically:
Is that person still there?
After thinking about it carefully, I put the fish back in the water.
As soon as the bamboo pole knocked on the water, the white fish fled in panic.
Knocking again, the white fish was blocked by the energy I released, and there was no way to turn back, so I could only continue to flee forward.
There was a fork in the road ahead, and it swung its tail and swam into the one on the right.
I gritted my teeth and followed.
The plan is simple - I can't find a way out anyway, so let's rely on the fish.
There is only a lone white fish in the huge cave, and I guess this fish did not live here in the first place.
Animals, on the other hand, usually flee back to their habitats when they are frightened.
I just wanted to see where this fish could take me.
Fishing along the way, passing through one fork after another, and even seeing several connected cave exits, but they are all located high on the cliffs, and it is impossible to leave.
Gradually, I felt that the ground was getting lower and lower, and the light inside the cave was getting dimmer.
Finally, finally ......
There is no way.
In front of me was a small pool of water ten feet in circumference.
The white fish dived into the pool and disappeared.
Although there is no inlet or outlet in sight, the water surface is constantly fluctuating, and it is clear that it is not a pool of stagnant water.
Is the bottom of this pool connected to the pool outside?
I crouched on the edge of the pool and reached for water.
Dive down and take a look?
No one knows how deep the pool is, but if I dive to the point where I run out of breath, then I didn't die unjustly?
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go a little slower and get a feel for the underwater situation first.
I jumped into the pool, let my body get used to the temperature, then took a deep breath and plunged down.
It's another world altogether in the water.
Green, silent, time seems to freeze here.
I paddled my limbs downstream, trying to keep my eyes open and trying to see my surroundings clearly.
However, the light under the water is too weak, and the countless floating dust blocks the view, so it is impossible to see anything three feet away at all.
After diving to a depth of about three or four feet, I estimated that this breath was almost half consumed, so I changed my position and prepared to rise.
Wow, what's that?
In the shadows underwater, a shadow suddenly appeared.
Figure!
But it's not a shadow of a real person, it should be a stone statue or something, and it's not very large.
My curiosity piqued and I dived a little further.
I saw it clearly, and sure enough, it was a stone man, half buried in the mud.
In the end.
In addition to the stone people, there are also stone horses, stone beasts, and stone lanterns nearby......
Numerous stone carvings line up, guarding a stone walkway that extends deeper.
What's there?
After swimming two or three feet, two forks appeared in front of me.
On the left, there is a wide stone staircase that leads to the heights.
The one on the right is similar to the stone carving trail when you came.
Which one to take?
Wait a minute!
Am I forgetting something?
Trembling all over, I suddenly woke up: I should have swam back just now.
What to do, turn back now?
It's too late, and I'm about to be unable to hold back my breath.
It's hard!
I glanced at the trail on the right and ended up swimming to the left.
Touching the thick stone steps, I was angry and dantian, and I wanted to walk the valley gate, and the energy in my body surged out, spewing out a chain of air between my legs.
Porphyry! Porphyry! Porphyry! Porphyry!
With both hands propped up, the whole person quickly swam up the stone steps.
After only swimming two or three zhang away, I secretly screamed in my heart, and I held it in my head in one breath, and my eyes were about to jump out of my sockets.
Look up.
There was a bright light above, and it was not far from the water.
Five-foot ...... No, maybe just three feet, you can breathe fresh air.
But at this time, all the internal energy was sprayed, the speed plummeted, and the hands and feet were soft, and there was no strength at all.
Not to mention going upstream, my whole body was stiff, and I was already slowly sinking.
The distance that could be reached out has become an insurmountable moat!
Recall that those stone men and stone horses, as if they were demonic, led me to this place.
I grinned wryly and spat out a string of bubbles......
My daily life, end!
……
I wanted to say that, but the progress bar betrayed me. (You have a novel, do you have a progress bar?) )
Just when I gave up completely, a sudden force pulled me up and down.
Nausea...... Cough...... Cough......
I kept vomiting and coughing.
It turns out that air is such a wonderful thing.
I took a long breath and rolled over and lay on the ground.
Blurred vision, glimpses of a white shadow in the corner.
Little fish, little fish, you are swimming here too?
Slow down......
That's not a shadow at all, it's a real person!
I sat up.
Sure enough, it was a woman in a white dress and a long hair covering the ground, her body was like a weak willow, her skin was like congealed fat, sitting cross-legged by a simple stone door, as demure as a jade carved Bodhisattva; It's just that most of my face is covered by waterfall-like black hair, which is not real from my point of view.
I felt a flutter in my heart.
Sister, do you want to be so scary?
I'm afraid, I also understand that I should have been saved by this long-haired sister just now.
The person who did the tricks on the white fish should also be her, right?
"I ......"
I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it.
"You ......"
The long-haired sister turned around and looked at me.
This face......
I took a deep breath, walked to the water, washed my face, rinsed my mouth and combed my hair.
When you see a beautiful woman, you must clean up a little neatly.
"Should I call you Auntie, or Sister Fairy?"
The long-haired sister smiled slightly: "My name is Ling'er." ”
"Sister Ling'er." I'll call right away.
"Ah...... Wait......" she blushed, "call me Miss Zhao......
"Zhao Ling'er?" I think this name is very familiar.
"I ...... My name is Zhao Zhiling. The long-haired sister explained, "Ling'er is my nickname. ”
"Sister Zhiling." I reversed my words, "Thank you for saving me." ”
She nodded slightly.
I can see that this long-haired sister should rarely communicate with people, and she can't even speak very well.
Very good, very good.
"Sister Zhiling." I looked at the stone door, "Do you live here?" ”
There was no answer.
I turned my head to look at it, and I was amazed - in the blink of an eye, my long-haired sister was gone!
