Monk Xiao didn't ask Chen Xiaodonkey what he was looking for, and he didn't seem to be worried that the goals of the two would conflict, he looked left and right, glanced a few times in the darkness in several directions, seemed to be faintly worried about something, and then said: "This is not the place to talk, if you can trust me, follow me first." ”

Cao Hou's gaze turned to Chen Xiaodonkey.

Thinking that it was indeed not a way to soak in the water all the time, Chen Xiaodonkey groaned for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and Cao Hou put the gun away, but his eyes still stayed vigilantly on Monk Xiao.

Monk Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the pangolin over his head and threw it on his head, said 'go', and swam in the direction of the current as fast as possible.

It was only after this walk that they really saw what it meant to be dense, and the number of snakes was far more than they guessed by hundreds, and all the shores they walked along the way.

In this case, although Zhang Wat said it in advance, Chen Xiaodonkey still walked in the water in fear, for fear that a snake would suddenly rush into the water and move with the terrifying number of snakes.

Monk Xiao frequently gasped when he saw it, and after walking forward for a while, he couldn't help but mutter: "Amitabha, surnamed Chen, you turtle grandsons can really cause trouble, the things in this snake cave, I'm afraid that the biggest one didn't come out!" ”

"Bald donkey, you grandson should be careful when you speak!" Cao Hou bared his teeth and scolded, trying not to let himself go to the shore.

Monk Xiao pouted, perhaps considering that the fat man was still holding a gun in his hand, so he didn't scold back.

Chen Xiaodonkey keenly noticed the 'snake cave' that Monk Xiao said, glanced at it without a trace, and said in his heart that this monk really has something!

He asked, "What snake cave?" Also, we didn't cause trouble. ”

"If you don't make trouble, these things can chase you?" Monk Xiao didn't believe it, but he didn't dwell on this matter, but asked in surprise: "The innermost part of this layer is a snake cave, and these pit vipers are raised in that snake cave, you don't even know the situation here?" So how the hell did you get in? ”

Something doesn't sound right!

Chen Xiaodonkey habitually narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course it was dug from the ground, otherwise how could it get in?" ”

"What? Dig it up? Don't fucking tease me with the surname Chen, you Buddha is like an idiot? Monk Xiao reacted greatly when he heard this, as if he had heard something incredible.

Chen Xiaodonkey's eyes narrowed even more, and he turned his head to look at Monk Xiao's shiny head, and did not speak.

Monk Xiao's eyes widened wider and wider, and his face was full of unimaginable reconfirmation: "You really dug it down?" Not a lie? ”

"What's in it for me to lie to you?" Chen Xiaodonkey asked rhetorically, when he first found the traces of those Orientals, he always felt that something was not right, the little fox said to let them dig down from the sinkhole, and they dug into this place, but how did those Orientals get in?

Follow the footprints left by the group all the way to the side of the drain, and there is no hole dug above their heads along the way, otherwise the three of them would not have been chased into the water by the snakes all the time, and they would have escaped first.

At this time, Cao Hou also realized that something was wrong, and quieted down and waited with Zhang Wat to listen to the conversation between Monk Xiao and Chen Xiaodonkey, and for a while, in the dark obstacle layer, only the occasional snake hiss, and the sound of the four people constantly moving in the water.

Seeing that Monk Xiao was silent, Chen Xiaodonkey asked, "Why, listen to what you mean, you didn't dig it down?" Glancing at the pangolin, the three of them hummed and dug hard for a long time, but the efficiency was not even one-tenth of that of this gadget, which was frustrating to say.

"It's not." Monk Xiao shook his head, his tone couldn't tell whether it was relaxed or dignified, and said: "If you really dig in, then we will be saved, but if this is the case, then I am likely to run for nothing again this time!" ”

"Saved? What do you mean? ”

"When you get to the place, let's go up and talk about it."

Monk Xiao pointed ahead.

A few people looked up, and the water was divided by a bluestone staircase that abruptly appeared in the center of the canal, and on the step was a square platform, slightly higher than the surrounding area, and an arch hole was opened underneath, as if to allow the water to fork briefly and flow back again.

Chen Xiaodonkey visually inspected it, and the top directly above the platform seemed to be much higher than the surroundings, and it was an inverted 'V' shape.

Monk Xiao walked up the steps, Chen Xiaodonkey and the three followed, and when they walked up, they found that this place seemed to be at the end, and a few meters away was a stone wall with a height of more than two meters, and there was a pitch-black hole mouth that led to somewhere, which looked a little weird.

Below them, on the right side of the drain, there was a strong flow of water, but somewhere in the middle there was an inconspicuous mark of water, slightly higher than the water, and it was easy to ignore this slight difference if you didn't look closely enough.

Chen Xiaodonkey took it into his eyes, and Monk Xiao took the initiative to explain: "This is a circular waterway, with high sinkpoints and low sink points on both sides, so the flow of water on both sides is opposite and meets in this area. ”

The four of them lined up on the platform to observe, and Chen Xiaodonkey temporarily unloaded his backpack, only holding the cat brother, and nodded: "Where is the drain?" ”

Monk Xiao said: "I guess it's under the arch hole, as for how big it is, it's not clear." ”

As he spoke, he tore a strip of cloth at the corner of his coat and threw it down, and the strip of cloth immediately floated into the arch at their feet, and did not come out of the other side.

Chen Xiaodonkey found that the clothes on Monk Xiao's body were a little tattered, and several tearing marks were particularly obvious, it should have been done more than once before.

And when the four of them moved, the pit vipers on the shore also followed all the way, covering the sky densely, as if they were staring at them.

Chen Xiaodonkey was already completely sure that these things really didn't dare to go into the water, and he didn't care very much, so he frowned and said, "What did you mean by what you said before, and how did you get down?" ”

"It seems that you really don't know anything." Monk Xiao stared at him with a strange gaze, "Do you know that many people go into this mountain to find an ancient building?" ”

Ancient Building!

The old cripple who sent them in before, as well as Uncle Jia, they all talked about the ancient building, and Chen Xiaodonkey always thought that Zhang Wuye asked them to come here to let him find the mysterious ancient building in the mountains.

But the little fox who had become a spirit also told them that there was actually nothing in the ancient building, and the reason why the three of them went down here could also be said to be from the little fox's guidance, plus the little fox was found by the cat brother, so Chen Xiaodonkey basically trusted it.

It's just that Monk Xiao asked him if he knew Gu Lou and what he wanted to say?

"Yes." Chen Xiaodonkey nodded, omitted the little fox and Uncle Jia, they didn't say anything, only said the news they heard from the old cripple when they came in.

"Amitabha, do you know why so many people want to find the ancient building?" After listening to what he said, Monk Xiao pointed to the dark and indescribable cave on the stone wall, and said in a quiet tone: "Many people only know legends, but they don't know what is in that building, in fact, there is no secret in that ancient building itself, only here." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiaodonkey didn't understand.

Monk Xiao said: "The ancient building is a road, it is the only way to get in here, I have located the location of the ancient building before, and after entering, it is empty, except for a wordless stone tablet." Behind the stele is a dark passage, I touched it along the dark passage, and began to drip water as I walked, and then the water became deeper and deeper, but I couldn't go to the end, and I felt something was wrong and wanted to touch it back, but I found that I couldn't go back no matter how I walked, I didn't know when I entered here, a circular waterway with no way out, and it was connected from end to end, so I said that if you really dug it down from the ground, then we will be saved, at least we will not be trapped here. ”

"The dead monk fooled you fat master?" Cao Hou glared and scolded on the spot, what Monk Xiao said was too bizarre to believe it.

Chen Xiaodonkey didn't believe it either, but looking at Monk Xiao's expression, he felt as if he wasn't lying, and he showed a thoughtful look when he was useless, and countless questions arose in his heart waiting to be answered.

For example, why don't those snakes go into the water, and for example---- what the hell is this place?
