Chapter 16: The Well
Just when she was struggling to move forward, Luan Jingjing suddenly screamed "ah", Li Luant looked at it inadvertently, but saw that Luan Jingjing was forced into the well by those black fish spirits, one didn't pay attention, the soles of her feet slipped, and the whole person was planted in the well.
Not good!
At this point, Li Luant had no intention of fighting, shot all the bullets, jumped into the water without hesitation.
Luan Jingjing thought she was dead the moment she fell into the water, but when she saw Li Luant rushing towards her in the water, she slipped into a warm current in her heart.
"Goo-goo-"
There were huge bubbles in the water, and the two fell into the water one after another, and the black fish spirits on the shore were shocked by this sudden change, and they hesitated, as if they were wandering spirits, and seemed to be waiting for something, and then a conch horn sounded in the air again, long and long, and those black fish spirits shook their bodies when they heard the sound, and they were divided into two parts, one part of which slowly left, and the other part suddenly jumped into the well, chasing the whereabouts of the two.
Li Luant grabbed Luan Jingjing's arm and was about to drag it away, but he saw a strange reflection in front of him, and involuntarily spit out bubbles, and there were countless sounds of black fish spirits falling into the water behind him, so he had to swim forward.
The sound of the water was in my ears, and without the help of any protective gear underwater, this faint hearing was gone. Li Luan Ant had a hard time dragging Luan Jingjing before, but Luan Jingjing later reacted and found that she had become a burden to Li Luan, so she immediately calmed down and dived away.
Surprisingly, the underground is not a narrow space, swimming along a winding dark river that seems to be sandwiched in a mountain crevice, and suddenly it opens up to an underwater world that shocks people's eyes!
Seeing this scene in front of them, even if Li Luant and Luan Jingjing didn't open their minds anymore, they knew that they had come all the way just now, and they were all in the underwater world of tens of millions of miles, because they saw -
I saw a village embedded in the mountain, which was showing in front of people's eyes in a quaint way, and above the zenith, there seemed to be traces of sunlight spreading on the water.
Everything that happens is underwater.
The village is a bit like the form of Miao Village, the stilted building is a significant feature, coincides with the village outside, but it is more small and exquisite, because it is embedded in the mountain, so it is built with heavy wood to drag each other, so that it can be otherwise, when the mountain stone rolls down, it endangers the village itself.
The village is about the size of a medium and large villa of the people, and there are not many doors, only a dozen or so. Strangely enough, in front of the stockade was a small boat suspended in the middle of the water, and an iron lock was hung at the bottom of the boat, which was connected to the mountain wall on the other side. The wall of the mountain is so open that it can still be seen, but the corners of the other sides are elusive.
In this tens of millions of meters of water, in addition to Fangcai Nazhai Village, there is actually a house embedded in the middle of the deep mountains under the water? It's incredible!
The sea seemed to be covered with broken gold, and Li Luant was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally see the exit. Ordinary people can only hold their breath for three minutes at most in the water, and if they are trained, they can hold their breath for up to six minutes, and team members such as the Snow Leopard Commandos are afraid that they can hold their breath underwater for up to ten minutes, but they are not.
From the beginning of the water to now, a full four minutes have passed, Li Luant feels that his lungs are about to explode, Luan Jingjing is no better than him, looking at Li Luant for help, as if to say that if you can't do it, go back, otherwise the two of them can only drown in the end.
Li Luant walked upstream and found that the light of the sea level that he thought he saw at the beginning was not a real light, but a kind of glass wall embedded in the deep mountains under the water and used as a partition!
Are you kidding?
Li Luant hammered the glazed tile with his hand, and the candle flame above was bright, so it shone below, so that people could get a glimpse of the general appearance of this place, but it was only the light reflected by the glass, not the sea level?!
Li Luant held his breath in his heart at this time, and couldn't help but exhale some breath again, and a few bubbles grumbled out: the situation is getting more and more critical.
This road is not working.
Li Luant was about to return with Luan Jingjing, but found that on the glazed tiles, there seemed to be some people's feet stepping on them.
Someone?!
Wogua hatefully gnawed on the compressed biscuits, and looked at the tattered tomb with breathlessness, which had already been turned into a mess by someone, and even the only coffin lid in the center was lifted, and the bones of the buried people were still there, but there was no one left.
"It's really unlucky, this must be a good thing that Song Zhao and Shen Yunyun did, except for them, there is no one else!"
The blind man leaned against the wall, and the walls of the tomb were evenly pulled out of a compartment for placing the shrine god, and it seemed that the person buried here should be very high for Fan Li, and he was still a person who believed in Buddhism, but the ashes fell on it, and the bones of its owner were also unrecognizable, and it was impossible to see who it was.
Generally, there are no epitaphs or murals on the walls that should reveal the identity of the owner, and they are empty, like a nameless ghost who has broken into the world.
"If you want me to say, wait for Lao Tzu to catch those two old immortal and shameless toads, grab their urine and ask them to make it bad!" Wogua was not idle while eating, Qin Pianpian listened to such vulgar words, and was worried about the safety of Li Luant in his heart, so he just frowned.
Wogua also seemed to realize that there were still women here, and hurriedly in order to save his image, he said to the blind king, "Oh, it's not easy, let's have a meal here," and moved the compressed biscuits away with disgust, "I have to go with some boiling water, otherwise how can I swallow it?" He took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe his mouth, "This also has to be scalded and sterilized with boiling water, otherwise how can I eat." โ
Qin Pianpian squinted at him with her eyes open, "Why do you have so many things, don't you have to use a handkerchief when you go to the toilet?" Why don't you boil water? โ
"Whoa, whoaโ"
Pretending to fail, I eat.
There is only a layer of distance between these glazed tiles, but no matter how hard Li Green Ant slaps the glazed tiles, the people above just don't react.
"Wogua, wogua, let's go! That Su Jiu is fake! โ
However, the eyes of the nest melon were bubbling and he didn't pay attention to him, obviously he didn't hear the galloping horse in Li Luant's heart at all.
The blind man had been closing his eyes and recuperating, and suddenly frowned, as if he sensed something, and got up and looked around.
"What's wrong with you? Blind? Do you want to scald it with boiling water? โ
"No, I feel like there's someone nearby."
Anyone else?
Wogua's hand shook, "Don't scare me. "It's strange to say, because there are blind people leading the way along the way, a few people have not experienced those unbelievable ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties like going to the tomb before, and they can't believe it, even Wogua wonders if the previous setbacks are deliberately trying to make Li Green Ant a big thing, straining his muscles and bones, starving his body and skin deliberately choreographed, and he just followed the bad luck.
The blind man looked around, as if to confirm something, Li Green Ant suddenly stood up when he saw Wogua under the water, as if he was about to find himself, he was ecstatic, and slapped the glazed tiles fiercely, but the Wogua was hungry enough, but his brain was really comparatively small, he thought that the blind man said "someone" meant something unclean, and he almost jumped into Qin Pianpian's arms, and Qin Pianpian slapped it away.
The blind man looked around and found that the breath just now seemed to be gone, so he had to press it, "Let's go after resting enough, I don't see Li Luant and Luan Jingjing here, maybe the hole we entered just now is not correct, we have to enter from the other side." โ
Speaking of that hole, Wogua couldn't help but shudder, because what they had experienced before was too unbelievable.
Su Jiu looked at the soles of his feet with understanding, as soon as he came in just now, the reason why he was extremely silent was because he saw the glazed tiles here, why did the owner of this tomb change his tomb bricks into glazed tiles? This kind of one-way transparent and reflective thing is not quite conventional, so he is thinking about the reason.
In them, they have the ability to reverse the overall situation in subtleties, such as the previous Fang La Digong Palace, in fact, Bai Jiangqiu had long known that with the black glasses and Li Green Ants, these people would definitely be able to enter the final hall, but he still deliberately said inducing words like that, the reason was that he lacked a living bait, that is, a living bait that could attract the sight of the spider queen.
That's right, the person who was chased by the black glasses at that time was Bai Jiangqiu, and Bai Jiangqiu's idea was obvious, Fang La's most important funeral item was indeed taken by him, and he used Li Luant and his party who overcame many difficulties to achieve his goal, this is the power of "those people", they can use you invisibly, but they will not make you feel that you have become the object of use.
There is only a layer of distance between these glazed tiles, but no matter how hard Li Green Ant slaps the glazed tiles, the people above just don't react.
"Wogua, wogua, let's go! That Su Jiu is fake! โ
Li Green Ant was desperately patting the glazed tiles, but suddenly many figures appeared densely, Luan Jingjing was startled, and hurriedly pulled Li Green Ant's arm and pointed to the back, but saw that those black fish spirits on the shore actually chased here?!
Li Luant hurriedly took Luan Jingjing and was about to escape, but where to escape? They are not real fish, the oxygen in their lungs has long been exhausted, and now they are just holding on, drinking a lot of water, and even their consciousness is beginning to blur, how can their actions compare to the agility of these black fish?
Stockade?
Li Luant glanced at the afterglow and happened to see the village, and in a panic, he had to swim to the village.
This village is the nearest refuge, and the oxygen for the two of them is no longer enough to support them to swim far, and if they really want to die, they will also die slowly in the underwater house, in a sheltered place.
Li Luant was the first to swim into the stockade, but strangely, when he stood on the floor of the stockade, it seemed that he had passed through a water curtain out of thin air, and the buoyancy in the water had disappeared all along, and even the previous feeling of holding his breath had disappeared.
Can he breathe?!
What's going on? Isn't it underwater here? Since it was underwater, why could he breathe, and there was not a drop of water in this house?
Luan Jingjing was also shocked by this discovery, but when the two of them were not happy for long, the black fish spirits all came towards this stockade, the two of them were in a hurry, and were about to rush into a place casually, when suddenly a dark figure appeared, startling the two of them, but the figure seemed to have no malicious intent, holding the arms of the two with one hand, a few turns, entered a place like a kitchen pantry, opened the door lock of the basement, and turned to go in.
"Poofโ"
It was the sound of a match lighting that illuminated the faces of the three people, and Li Luant was shocked when he saw the person's face, "It's you?!" โ
Tu Men slapped the rice pocket beside him, "Mole, don't hide, come out quickly." โ
A sneaky figure poked its head out from behind the rice pocket, looking around, as if it was an earthworm drilled out of the earth looking out of the wind for its companions, after confirming calm for a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief, and crept towards the slaughter door, with a smile on his face, "Hehe, boss-these two?" โ
Seeing the appearance of the mole, Li Luant's face was as puzzled as Tumen expected, but Tumen did not answer, but took the initiative to ask Li Luant, "Little brother, you saw it behind the barrier at the beginning." โ
Li Luant protected Luan Jingjing behind him, and said quietly, "The seniors are at ease, the juniors just want to live, and I don't know anything else about irrelevant things." โ
"Haha-" Tu Men laughed, as if he felt a little interesting about Li Luant's answer, "The little brother is a cautious person, since that's the case, then there's nothing to ask, Mole, now that the little brother is in the same boat as us, you can tell us what happened here." โ
Because the situation here is unclear now, this "brother", Li Luant did not deny it much: as he said, this slaughter door is also not inferior to the tomb robbers of Song Zhao, since they are tomb robbers, don't expect them to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, maybe this slaughter door was intended to cover them before, outsiders seem to be kind, but in Li Luant's eyes, this is just an opportunity for this slaughter door to break the delicate balance of Song Zhao at that time, and now Song Zhao and Shen Yunyun and a group of people do not know whether they are alive or dead, and there is only a mole left in front of him on his side, then of course he is short of troops now, in this case, Luan Jingjing, who was favored by him before, and himself, aren't they sheep in the mouth of the tiger?
Tu Men's respect for Li Luant was obviously very useful, and the mole got the instructions of the boss, and immediately told the two of them about the place where they landed.
It turned out that after Tumen and Luan Zizi entered the door, they were different from Li Luant and Luan Jingjing who walked in a straight line, they were people who licked blood on the knife edge, and naturally knew how to escape, and immediately began to flee in a "Z" shape, who knew that the mole was the first to suffer and fell into a waterhole, Tumen was worthy of being his boss, and also fell in the waterhole, and the two of them originally swam up with the familiar water nature, but there was a gunshot not far away.
"Gunshots?"
The mole nodded, "And there is also the scream of Shen Yunyun's old witch, I won't hear it wrong, after the gunshot, Song Zhao said something about 'master-apprentice friendship', it must have happened too quickly at that time, and Song Zhao left Shen Yunyun alone to run for his life." โ
So Shen Yunyun is dead?
Li Luant touched his chin, and the man continued: At that time, because of the gunshot, the man and the man were worried that those things would also run over, so they were going to hide in the water to avoid the limelight, but at this time, something suddenly grabbed the feet of the two people under the water, and dragged the two of them into the water, as if they were going to drown the two of them.
Hearing this, Li Luant was surprised, "Dare to ask the seniors, is it the ones outside?" โ
Tu Men nodded heavily, "At that time, there were not many black fish essences that caught us, only a dozen, and I could get rid of them with two knives, but who knew that this thing actually appeared one litter after another, I really had no choice with the mole, and I had to carry it in one breath at that time." But suddenly I saw the stockade in the water, and I thought that I would die a decent death, but who knew that when I stepped on this stockade, there was actually air in this village! โ
The situation is similar to that encountered by Li Luant, but the way they came in was different, which shows that this space is indeed accessible in all directions.
The mole dusted off the dust on his sleeves, and was a little resentful, "I don't know what those things are, four points like a person, seven points like a ghost, good and dignified, and we have never provoked it, how can they chase after us?" โ
Li Luant asked, "How long have you been trapped here?" โ
Tu Men shook his head, "It's already underwater, where can there be any specific concept of time?" But during this period, I was hungry once or twice, but fortunately, there is also a fire and a stove here, and there is still some water before, so I can barely eat a meal to deal with it. โ
Li Luant secretly said in his heart: It seems that it has been at least more than 12 hours.
"Those things gathered outside have never left during this time?"
The mole shook his head, "It's strange to say, those things are no matter how fierce they are outside, but they will never step into this village within ten meters, and they have been watching fiercely, when Tumen and I were trapped here before, I wanted to wait for those things to leave as soon as they left, but those things are particularly evil, whenever we just left the stockade with our front feet, there was immediately a large group of black fish spirits eyeing at us, as if the previous departure was just an illusion, they were hidden in the shadows and unseen, waiting for the opportunity to move. โ
Li Luant also found out that when they came in, the black fish spirit seemed to be afraid and did not dare to enter, I don't know why, but if it was really like what the mole said, as soon as they left, those black fish spirits who were eyeing each other could feel it, wouldn't those people be doomed to not get out?
This time, I thought it was saved, but I didn't expect to step into another hell.
Li Luant looked around, what Tu Men brought them to before was a warehouse similar to a kitchen, where a lot of rice was placed, the rice was very well preserved, and there was desiccant in it, but even so, the rice had turned a lot darker, and Tu Men waved his hand, indicating that there was no way to survive.
"Food is not the main thing, and most importantly, we don't have a lot of water." After saying this, the mob man was a little ill-willed, and looked at Li Luant and Luan Jingjing, as if he was waiting for something.
The meaning of that bold gaze couldn't be clearer, Luan Jingjing was a little embarrassed at the time, but Li Luant took the initiative to say, "We don't bring much water." โ
"Hehe, it's not much, but there are some."
The mole was still smiling, Tu Men didn't stop it when he saw this scene, he didn't know what idea he was making, Li Luant took the initiative to hand over the kettle between himself and Luan Jingjing, Luan Jingjing was a little uneven, "Can't give it to him, what should we do if we give it to him?" โ
"Don't you believe me?"
This sentence made Luan Jingjing lose her mind: now except for Li Luant, she really won't believe anyone.
With a smile on his face, he picked up the kettle and opened the stopper to look at it, and found that there was indeed only a small amount of water left, and shook it with his hand again, and immediately annoyed, "Are you kidding me?" โ
"I'm not lying to you, we really don't have much water."
"With so little water, how did you get here?"
Li Luant calmly said everything that happened on the ship selectively, and the mole was about to think after hearing it, but Tu Men said, "Mole, return the kettle to them!" โ
"Butโ"
"If you want to pay it back, you will pay it back!"
The mole reluctantly returned the kettle, Li Luant slanted a glance at the slaughter door: what happened just now, this slaughter door did not stop it, obviously he had the same mind as the mole, the water in his kettle is indeed very small, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and now in this embattled situation, the slaughter door will not be generous, obviously because of what he just said, it played some role that he did not know.
"Do you mean, now Song Zhao has the map of this water tomb in his hand?"
"The senior was with that Song Zhao before, didn't he show the map to the senior?"
Tu Men paused, "He has always only cared about himself, how could he care about the lives of others?" โ
Li Luant secretly mocked in his heart: Aren't you the same?
Tu Men thought for a while in his mind, and said to Li Luant, "Little brother, since we are in the same predicament now, I hope that little brother will have an idea." โ
"I have an idea?"
"The little brother also said just now, only you and Song Zhao have seen the map, and now the map is in Song Zhao's hands, and the little brother is the only person who can go out here."
Luan Jingjing heard this obvious use of the relationship, and was a little indignant, "Although we have seen the map, but-" Li Luant saw the opportunity to stop "Since the seniors are in love, how can the juniors refuse?" It's just how this place is, the map is just a sketch, not depicted, if there is a way to go here, then it is not difficult to find Fan Li's gold treasure. โ
Luan Jingjing looked at Li Green Ant unexpectedly, but Tumen heard this beautiful words, and immediately slapped her hands and smiled, "There is a little brother This sentence, I will rest assured, little brother let's eat something first, I see that the little brother and this girl are weak, presumably the stock of food is not much, although there is not much leftover rice just cooked, there are still some, when the little brother is full of food and drink, everyone will add up the way to go out, go to the Fan Li Jinzang as soon as possible, and make a decision on this matter." Little brother, don't worry, then Song Xuan, I will slaughter the door for you! โ
