Volume 1 The Quicksand Divine Silk Chapter 20 Chapter 9
We followed the flow of the river as we had previously assumed, and I looked around along the way, and the stone cave above my head was about four or five meters high, and from time to time water droplets hit our heads.
Miri and I walked at the back of the line, and there was nothing worth seeing in the dark caverns except for the oddly shaped stones and splashes along the way.
Under the boredom and coldness of the road, I inadvertently shone the flashlight on the You Hanshan in front of me, and found that the You Hanshan at this time seemed to be different from before, and the ear cover hat on the top of the head did not know where to go, I thought it should have been swept into the quicksand, maybe because his existence was too transparent before, and I rarely paid attention to him.
When I met for the first time, I was also curious about why he kept wearing a hat, but this person was too arrogant and not easy to approach, but I really didn't expect You Hanshan to have a Taoist head shape, which really surprised me, a lot of wet sand on his long black hair, which looked much more free and refreshing than before, I don't know why, his back actually made me feel an inexplicable sense of heaviness.
Qi Li on the side saw that I had been staring in the direction of You Han Mountain, thinking that I had found something.
"Is there something wrong?"
Seeing that I seemed to be a little out of shape, I immediately moved the light of the flashlight away from You Hanshan and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the road under my feet seems to be getting narrower and narrower." β
The fat man in front didn't know if he heard what I said, and scolded: "What's the trouble, I can't help this fat man, the road ahead can only be passed by one person, and I can't help it!" β
"Then what do you think about putting Professor Zhou on his back?" I immediately replied loudly.
Before I could open my mouth again, there was a "plop" sound in front of You Hanshan, I looked sideways, and Kentmorer, who had been silent all the way, suddenly jumped into the water, I just wanted to ask what was going on, Gu Ling said lightly: "He went to save the two of them." "When I looked forward, the fat man and Professor Zhou, who were originally at the front, were no longer there.
I scolded in my heart, "Two people fell into the water in front of you, and you and a nobody, there was no movement, and there was no trace of turmoil in your heart." β
"Don't worry, Kentmoor will help them up." Gu Lingdao.
The speed of the river is not very fast, the fat man helped Professor Zhou in the water, although he choked a few mouthfuls of water, but fortunately he was not immediately washed down, and the Kentmoor, who jumped down just now, quickly swam to the fat man's side, and the fat man supported Professor Zhou together, we followed them closely, trying to take a hand when they docked.
But I don't know why they couldn't swim to the shore no matter how much they swam, it seemed that there was a strong current in the water that pushed them to the opposite side, and I shouted while leaning sideways and following the ancient spirits, "Fatty, what's the matter with you?" Come here! β
The fat man was poured into his mouth by the river water in the water for a while, and it took a long time to reply: "Why bother, I'll go... Your uncle... Below, this river... The flow of water is not normal. β
When I heard the fat man say this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately looked up at the lower flow of the river, only to see a corner not far in front of the fat man, and I hurriedly shouted: "Fat man! Be careful! There is a corner to the right in front! β
The fat man was at least three meters away from the shore at the moment, and as soon as he heard me say that there was a sharp turn in front of him, he immediately glanced at Kentmoor, signaled to go down to the water at the same time, and the two of them held Professor Zhou's arms, and immediately sank into the water and disappeared in front of our eyes.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be a bit bad, Gu Ling immediately said, "Chase!" β
After saying that, Gu Ling took You Hanshan to chase after him at a lightning speed, but we had just moved quickly along the stone wall for dozens of steps, and there was no place to stand under our feet.
"Jump!" Gu Ling turned back to me and Mi Li.
I saw that there was no other way at the moment, if I didn't keep up with the fat man, I wouldn't know where to find them after that, after Gu Ling finished speaking, a fish jumped into the water, I followed with a deep breath and jumped down, as soon as I fell into the water, the whole person was like falling into an ice cave, and the body temperature dropped rapidly.
I jumped into the water only to find that although the river was only six or seven meters wide, it was unfathomable, and the undercurrent under the water kept pushing me to the side, several times, I hit the rock on the left, every time I hit, it hurt so much that I swallowed a mouthful of river water helplessly, and after several times, there was gradually a feeling of swelling in my stomach.
The force swimming in front of me was not much different from me, slightly pushed against the stone wall, the clear and transparent water and waterproof flashlight made me less afraid of the dark, I followed the force in front of me and kept swimming forward by the water, and I was about to turn, suddenly there was a rapids under the water and pushed me to the right stone wall again, a stinging pain came from my shoulder, and I almost thought I was knocked apart.
Under the sharp turn of the river, the flow speed of the whole river has accelerated a lot, I thought that the corner just now has passed, and immediately poked my head out of the water, turned my head to look ahead, it seemed that there was a large white fog, as we continued to get closer to the white fog, there was a rumbling sound in front of me, gradually, the sound was like a roar of a wild lion, deafening, a series of movements made me suddenly panic, 'There won't be a fucking waterfall ahead!' β
"Get ready, there is a cliff ahead, don't look back, take advantage of the opportunity to jump off the waterfall!" The ancient spirit swimming in the front shouted loudly.
As soon as I heard Gu Ling say that there was a cliff and waterfall in front of me, my heart was directly half cold, and I thought to myself, 'Isn't this bad enough for the previous fall!' How come endlessly! But it was too late for me to complain, and in the blink of an eye, the four of us had come to the white mist, and at this moment, there was no movement in our minds except for the rumbling sound that kept coming from front of us.
According to the skills of Gu Ling and You Hanshan, we should have been able to use some means before being washed down to fix us above the waterfall so that we would not fall directly and unprepared, but until all of us entered this white mist, the two of them still did not move, at this moment I almost closed my eyes and prayed to the Buddha, I secretly encouraged in my heart, 'Damn, nothing to be afraid of, this is like a drop in the bucket compared to quicksand, come on!' β
Originally, the white mist in front of me had reached the end in the blink of an eye, the water was getting stronger and stronger, and seeing that there was a cliff in front of me, I gritted my teeth and yelled, "Jump!" "I leaned on one side and kicked my feet on one side of the rock, using my strength to get out of the waterfall and avoid being smashed by the waterfall pouring down in the air.
Just after that fierce kick out, my whole person instantly fell off the water before falling off the cliff, and what appeared in front of me was a cliff with a drop of tens of meters, a silver-white waterfall rushed straight down, the sound was like thunder, like a thousand horses galloping. As I swooped down the waterfall, I didn't dare to tilt in any way, and kept my body in a vertical downward position.
In an instant, the four of us plunged into the water almost at the same time, in order to quickly breathe air, I shook my legs hard and sent my head out of the water, kept exhaling loudly, I wiped a handful of water on my face, floated in the water to explore the other three, a voice suddenly appeared in my ear "go". Before I could react, I was dragged by a huge tug, I looked back and saw that it was Gu Ling, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
Gu Ling didn't answer my words, I saw that she pulled me desperately to get back to the shore, there should be some emergency, and then followed Gu Ling to swim to the nearest side of the lake, and finally climbed to the shore with the help of Gu Ling.
As soon as I got ashore, I felt cold and tired, and before I could lie on the ground to adjust my breathing, Gu Ling pulled me up again and ran to the deep stone cave, and I immediately asked, "What's wrong?" β
Gu Ling said in a muffled voice: "We are followed by something!" β
"What's that?" I couldn't help but glance back with my subconscious curiosity, "Nothing?" β
Suddenly, from the other side of the lake, the voice of the fat man came, "Why bother! Come on! β
Before I could turn around and identify where the fat man was, I heard a loud muffled sound behind me, and then the whole surrounding mountains shook violently, and I didn't have a steady foot, but I was shaken out by an extremely wild wind and waves, and the broken stones under my feet fell forward with me, and I was about to fall on the broken rocks, and the ancient spirit was like a god, and jumped in front of me, grabbed my back collar, and lifted me up in mid-air, by the aftermath of the hurricane behind me, One volley jumped in front of the stone cave entrance.
I took the opportunity to look back to see what had happened, and saw a behemoth like an elk standing on the shore of the lake, under the dark red soles of its feet, the gravel pit was several inches deep, and the soaked fur was so bright red that I looked up and saw that it had a horn on its head, but no eyes, and it looked like a bear.
"This is the pi nine." The ancient spirit standing beside me said in a muffled voice.
I once read the Classic of Mountains and Seas in my spare time, and it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Classic of North Mountains" that it is 500 miles to the north, called Lun Mountain. The water flows out of the river, and the east flows into the river. There was a beast, its shape like an elk, its river on its tail, its name was called ηΎδΉ, and I thought to myself, "No wonder I can't see the eyes of this thing, it only has one eye, and that eye is behind its ear!" β
"Isn't this a legendary fiction, how did it come here? , could it be that it was following behind just now! "I stared at the strange beast in front of me.
Gu Ling took out a dark red dagger from behind his back and said, "I don't know! It's not a good thing! β
As soon as Gu Ling's words fell, the red Jiu Jiu raised his head to the sky and roared, and the whole mountain stone cave shook violently in its roar, and large and small gravel rolled down from the cliff and the top of the cave, so frightened that I hurriedly covered my ears and retreated towards the stone cave behind.
Gu Ling's reaction was several times faster than me, and the moment he took out the dagger, he jumped back a few steps, I looked at the red Jiu in front of me, stunned for a moment, and suddenly I didn't know why, I remembered the religion of the Mongolian people - shamanism, in the past, shamanism was extremely awe-inspiring for bears, could it be that the bear in it refers to Jiujiu?
Before I could get up and want to see it clearly, the red Jiujiu's sharp forehand slammed suddenly, and a piece of broken rock under my feet flew towards us in an instant, I was frightened enough by its sudden movement, and the whole person was stunned in place, and the red Jiu of the Gu Ling on one side shook a rock over, withdrew with one leg, and put the dagger horizontally in front of him, making an athlete's sprint motion.
In a flash, just before the rock flew down to the entrance of the cave, I turned around the rock, and saw that the stone was about to fall on my body, Gu Ling's feet must have sunk hard, and the hand that was off the back instantly lifted, and the dagger in his hand just hooked on the rock, and his left knee bowed and his right hand swung forward forcefully, and under the friction between the metal and the rock, a red spark was produced, and between the electric light and flint, the rock the size of the head was thrown back.
