Before they could shout a few curses, the raft dispersed, and both of them fell into the water.

"I don't know how to ...... water," Qing Ling screamed, and the whole person was already submerged in the water.

She panicked and took a sip of the python water, which made her even more frightened, and she desperately scratched around, hoping to catch something to surface.

A strong hand grabbed her and quickly dragged her out of the water.

As soon as the "cough ......" came out of the water, Qing Ling coughed violently, and she looked sideways, and it turned out to be Zhang Tianduo.

"It's all your fault, don't worry, what a broken raft, I wouldn't have come with you if I knew it." Qing Ling couldn't help but complain.

Zhang Tianduo was ashamed in his heart, he was like this before, he was obviously very strong, why didn't he use it this time?

"Hey, look over there." Qing Ling suddenly pointed ahead and said.

Zhang Tianduo pointed to the past, and it turned out to be a water hole that was half outside and half immersed in water.

"That should be the entrance to the Cave of the Two Realms, right?" Qing Ling asked.

Zhang Tianduo nodded and said, "It should be there, don't move, I'll take you over." ”

Being held by Zhang Tianduo, Qing Ling only felt red and red, where did he dare to move.

The water flow of this section of the Python River is very fast, but fortunately, Zhang Tian's ability to capture water is good, he is not in a hurry, and slowly swims into the cave with Qingling.

There is a world in the water cave, the top of the cave is full of strange stalactites, under the illumination of the sunset on the water surface, it looks strange and unpredictable.

Zhang Tianduo swam to the depths with Qing Ling, and the light gradually dimmed, which added a bit of mystery to the cave.

"There's flat ground." Qing Ling said.

Zhang Tianduo also saw the flat land, and he swam to the flat ground with all his might, and after a while, the two went ashore.

The flat ground is not big, more than five meters square, and the ground is very slippery, and both of them are very careful not to slip.

Taking a slight breath, Zhang Tianduo raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly found that there was a flat land not far away, and there was a small boat on the shore of the flat land.

"What about faith?" Qing Ling asked.

Zhang Tianduo pointed to the flat ground and said, "Don't worry, I'll wrap it in oiled paper, look there." ”

Looking in the direction of Zhang Tianduo, Qing Ling said: "It should be here, it's not in vain that I drank a big mouthful of python river water." ”

"Okay, it's all my fault, let's get over."

"I don't want to be in the water anymore, you swim over and hold the boat over."

Zhang Tianduo spread his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you can wait here." ”

Jumping into the water, Zhang Tianduo swam to the flat land, and when he got ashore, he looked around and found that there was a hole in the bend of the flat land.

"What are you looking at? You might as well come and pick me up. ”

Zhang Tianduo jumped onto the boat and found that the boat was also very simple, but it was obviously much stronger than the raft he had built.

After taking Qing Ling over, Zhang Tianduo pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "I think it is the Two Realms Cave." ”

Qing Ling stroked his wet hair and said, "Then let's go in." ”

As soon as he walked into the cave, a gust of wind blew in the face, and the two couldn't help but shiver, Qing Ling complained again: "It's all your fault, what kind of broken raft you set up, making your whole body wet, if you make me sick, see how I clean you up." ”

Zhang Tianduo shrugged helplessly, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, which contained letters, fire folds and a few candles, and he said proudly: "Fortunately, I had the foresight and took precautions in advance. ”

"Prescient? I think you knew you were going to fall into the water. ”

Two candles were lit, one each holding one, and they walked deeper into the cave.

The tunnel is not large, and only two people can walk side by side, and there are many places where you have to bend down to walk through.

After walking a few hundred meters, a turn, there were two forks in the road in front of the two of them.

Qing Ling looked at the road on the left, then at the right, and asked, "Which way do you think we should go?" ”

Zhang Tianduo took the candle and lay on the ground and came back to check, and it took a long time before he pointed to the road on the left and said, "Go this way." ”

"Are you so sure? What if I make a mistake? ”

"You can't be wrong, if you look at the ground, the gravel on the left side of the ground is on both sides, and the right side is disorganized, which means that the ground on the left is often moved."

Qingling secretly admired, he couldn't imagine that Zhang Tianduo still had such sharp insight, and he couldn't see anything.

The two entered the cave on the left, walked a few hundred meters forward, and stopped again.

This time there were four forks in the road that appeared in front of the two.

Qing Ling volunteered to lean over to observe the ground first, but she was disappointed, because the ground of these four forks in the road was all sand and gravel, and it was impossible to tell which one had been walked on and which one had not.

"What should I do?" Qing Ling checked to no avail, so he had to turn around and ask.

Zhang Tianduo also discovered this, he frowned and thought: "Manshan lives in this kind of place, he must often go out to buy daily necessities, which must be indispensable for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, so when he moves these things, he should drop something." ”

Thinking of this, he immediately lay on the ground and took a closer look.

Qing Ling was puzzled: "I've seen it all, what else are you watching?" ”

Zhang Tianduo didn't answer, he carefully checked every inch of the ground within ten meters, until half of the candle burned off, he suddenly raised his head and said, "It's this road!" ”

It was the third fork in the road, and Qing Ling walked in and asked, "How are you sure it's this way?" I think all four forks in the road are the same. ”

"What do you think this is?"

Qing Ling looked over when she heard this, and saw Zhang Tianduo holding a small particle in her hand, and when she got closer, she realized that it was a grain of rice.

This time, there was no need for Zhang Tianduo to explain, Qing Ling also understood, she said: "It's a shame that you can find a grain of rice in such a place, it's even more spiritual than a dog." ”

Zhang Tianduo ignored her sarcasm, got up and patted the sand and gravel dust on his body, and said, "Let's go." ”

The tunnel was much wider than before, and the two of them walked a few hundred paces when a small stream blocked their way.

"Ah, there's a river in the cave." Qing Ling was surprised.

Zhang Tianduo said disapprovingly: "Rare and strange, this is an underground river." ”

The underground river, about four meters wide, passes under the rock walls on both sides, and the water flows so gently that there is hardly any sound to be heard.

Qing Ling rolled his eyes and said, "As far as you are well-informed, do you think I don't know that this is an underground river?" I'm just whining. ”

As she spoke, she jumped to the opposite side.

Zhang Tianduo followed closely, and the two continued to move forward, only walking out of about ten meters, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

"What the hell is going on with these two realms? How can there be so many forks in the road? Qing Ling looked a little irritable, just because there were eight forks in the road in front of them.

Zhang Tianduo also shook his head and smiled bitterly, he finally knew why the Two Realms Cave was one of the nine mazes, judging from the situation in front of him, it was very likely that it was a natural labyrinth.

"Which way do you think we should go this time?"

Zhang Tianduo shrugged and said, "The old way." ”

Although lying on the ground lost his identity, in order to save time, Qingling also followed Zhang Tianduo to find it.

This time to find half a candle, Zhang Tianduo took out two candles again and lit them.

The firelight illuminated the surroundings again, and the Qing Ling on the opposite side looked irritable, and Zhang Tianduo asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qing Ling said angrily: "What the hell is that Manshan doing?" There are grains of rice on all four forks in the road. ”

Zhang Tianduo frowned, because the four forks he checked also found rice grains, thought about it and said: "The same goes for those four forks, in this way, these eight forks can all lead to the place where the predecessors of the mountain live, but they may also be dead ends." ”

Qing Ling was confused when he heard this, and said angrily: "What does it mean that you can walk eight forks in the road, and they may all be dead ends?" ”

Zhang Tianduo said: "In other words, these eight forks can be walked, but only one can lead to the place where the predecessors live, if we take the wrong road, we may get lost in it." ”

"You didn't say what you said, what should we do now?"

Zhang Tianduo thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Senior Manshan, do you hear my voice?" Answer what you hear! ”

The loud and high-pitched voice echoed in the cave for a long time, and the two waited for a while, but there was not the slightest movement.

"He can't hear it." Qing Ling said.

Zhang Tianduo shook his head and said, "I don't know, it stands to reason that he should be able to hear it." ”

But he didn't respond.

"Well, maybe you don't want to see us."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianduo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go and have a look first." ”

"Which one?"

"Whichever one goes, you choose."

Qing Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, then pointed to the fifth fork in the road and said, "It's okay to go this way." ”

Entering from the fifth fork in the road, the two of them only walked less than a hundred steps, and then they saw a hole in the cave wall, Zhang Tianduo took a candle to look in, and quickly retracted and said: "It is a living road, it seems to be connected with the fourth fork in the road." ”

"Whatever, let's just go straight."

Zhang Tianduo hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Well, it's all about now." ”

After walking forward for a few dozen meters, two forks in the road appeared again in front of the two of them.

The two of them are a little crying now, and now, the two can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.

Qing Ling kicked on the wall of the cave and scolded: "What a hole, it makes people dizzy." ”

Zhang Tianduo was still calm, he picked up a piece of gravel, carved a mark on the cave wall, and said: "Now we have to cross the river by feeling the stones, let's leave marks while walking, and we can always find the right way." ”

At this point, it was useless for Qing Ling to be impatient, so he had to continue to look for it according to Zhang Tianduo's method.

However, the forks in the cave of the two realms are simply unbelievable, the deeper you go, the more forks there are, and the cave is crooked, and it is impossible to go straight forward.

When Zhang Tianduo lit the last candle, Qing Ling sat on the ground and said, "I'm hungry and can't walk." ”

Zhang Tianduo brought a fire fold and a candle, but he didn't bring dry food, he thought that the Two Realms Cave was a great hole, but it was a relatively deep hole, and it should be easy to find the mountain, who knew that it was like a maze here, and he didn't see a full body of people after looking for most of the day.

If it is too late to leave, if the last candle is burned, then they will never be able to go out again.

With this in mind, Zhang Tianduo said: "Let's go back and find another way." ”

Qing Ling had long wanted to go back, she jumped up and said with a smile: "Just wait for your words." ”
