Enter ye through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and the way is great, and many enter into it. Narrow is the gate that leads to eternal life, and the way is small, and few are found—Matthew

============================

Wan Yan Yong didn't know that he was trapped in the nightmare of lack of water and couldn't extricate himself, and he was dying.

Lizards, phylum chordates, biforerae, cold-blooded reptiles.

On a cold winter day, under such a dark and damp underneath, what could attract these cold-blooded animals more than the light and warmth of fire?

She carried her clothes to the opposite corner, her heart was crossed, she took out the fire fold and lit the clothes, slowly, the fire became fierce, she retreated to Wan Yanyong's side, her whole body was tense, holding the dagger tightly in one hand and the water bag in the other. Listen to the movement in the depths of the darkness.

The fire burned slowly, reflecting half of the stone cave, and at the end of the dark firelight, it had been quiet, she took a breath, not daring to relax the slightest, and after a while, just when she was about to give up, finally came the sound of whirring and panting.

The pant was accompanied by a three-pronged tongue, then a long nose, a narrow head, a thick neck, a round belly, and unseen claws. It's a meter and a half long.

This wasn't a Komodo dragon, and she swallowed her saliva involuntarily as images of the animal world flashed through her mind.

This is the legendary five-clawed golden dragon in China, a round-nosed monitor lizard.

Isn't this water monitor lizard supposed to be in subtropical and tropical waters? Calm, calm, she told herself desperately, her feet still shaking involuntarily, they liked to eat carrion, but she had also heard that these monitor lizards could eat anything they could. In an instant, she hated herself for not being a super fat person.

The water monitor lizard walked slowly, leisurely like a walk after a meal.

Can't wait, she took a deep breath, saw that it was enough distance, and slowly moved into the darkness, she couldn't light the fire, she could only rely on intuition, her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her chest, she didn't dare to have any idea of escape, afraid that she couldn't help it at any time and would run wildly.

Fang stepped into the darkness less than two meters, and felt that the soles of her shoes had been soaked in water, it turned out that the water was so close, she was in ecstasy, and she was busy squatting to draw water, the water bag was quickly filled, she was just about to get up, and suddenly there was a sound of water from the darkness.

Jian Wei was petrified in an instant, how could she not have thought that there might be more than one at all.

Her hand was almost embedded in the hilt, and she held her breath as the sound of water rolled and fell silent again. She slowly moved back, and finally stuck to the wall, the hard stone wall gave her some sense of security, and when she returned to Wan Yanyong's side, her back was all wet with cold sweat.

The water monitor lizard moved slowly around the fire, seemingly enjoying the warmth. Jian Wei's feet were soft, but it was not time to rest, she helped Yan Yong up, carefully fed water into his mouth, her chapped lips were moistened by the water, the frowning brows of the sick person loosened slightly, and she wet a cloth towel and gently put it on his forehead.

Taking care of patients is not her forte, she wearily puts down the water bladder, and her eyes touch the things that she was holding with oiled paper before, as if ......

She picked up the paper and opened it to see that it was actually a map, which seemed to be drawing a certain mansion, with twists and turns, and the location marked by dotted lines, which seemed to be a secret room or an underground passage.

She looked at it intently, only to feel that it seemed a little familiar, and she couldn't see where it was for a while, so she racked her brains to think.

Suddenly, a dark projection appeared on the map, and she looked up and almost fainted, the monitor lizard was standing in front of her, looking at her curiously.

It didn't know when it came, but it didn't notice it at all, and Janeway knew that the lizard had three-dimensional vision, so although it was still, its eyes were actually working nervously.

Its tongue is half the length of its body, and it is so close that it is believed that it will have no problem even if it circles itself twice.

The lizard stood stupidly for a while, Janeway stared at its mouth motionlessly, she didn't dare to look at it, for fear of angering this grumpy guy, it suddenly turned its head sideways, just when Janeway thought it was going to go crazy, the water monitor lizard leaked domineeringly, and gave a huge burp, such a strong fishy smell, almost stunning.

It didn't seem to be satisfied with its performance either, shook its head, and walked away.

Being so frightened by it touched a nerve in her head, and she hurriedly picked up the frightened map and looked at it again.

Slowly overlapping with some places in memory, yes, that's it, what is described on the map is the palace and secret passage of the Jin Kingdom many years ago.

Then this location, she was impatient to find it, if it was really as the map said, she looked sideways at the water in the darkness, the water in the water bag slowly seeped out, she lifted it, the warm water temperature was losing its last heat.

This hot spring is also the reason why these monitor lizards can survive.

The square scarf on Wan Yanyong's forehead quickly warmed up, and she put her cold hand on it.

She whispered to him, wake up quickly, we have found a way out.

Maybe another hour, two hours, she kept cooling him with her cold hands and a square scarf, and kept calling out to him. I don't know if it's her patience or the effect of the hot spring water, in short, when the second devouring sound sounded in the darkness, Wan Yanyong actually opened his eyes.

Although he was still so weak, he finally became conscious, Jian Wei was already hungry and thirsty, and the water was given to Wan Yanyong, and she didn't touch a drop.

"Wan Yan Yong," a smile appeared on her tired face, "you're awake." ”

She quickly told him what she had discovered. Wan Yanyong sat against the wall, with touching warmth in his eyes.

When she finally told him the secret of the map, he patted her hand: "I can't imagine that what Wan Yan Liang has worked so hard to want can be so easily obtained by you." ”

She didn't understand how she could have anything to do with Wan Yanliang, he said lightly: "This is what Meng Huiqing tried his best to achieve." The prince of Tianshui County maybe, somewhere in this deep palace. ”

If this is what Meng Huiqing has achieved with her life, then she ...... now Janeway instantly wanted to cover her ears and not listen to the weird and disgusting tearing sound.

Wan Yanyong sighed and said softly: "This is the path she has chosen, for the sake of her country and monarch, she has no regrets." He tried to comfort her, but the anxiety that welled up in his heart made him a little overwhelmed.

"She's relieved. But we're going to die here. He said, half helplessly, half willingly, "I don't know how to water." However, I have no regrets about being with you. ”

Although he has always been kind and gentle, but rarely said such things, we all have a pair of loving ears, Janeway quickly forgot the unpleasantness, she replied with a smile: "I will." ”
