Chapter 40: Deep Pond in Distress
There is more and more water leaking down the shaft, and it is difficult to return to the position of the stone lotus without a rope to climb, and Old Man Zhuo is dead, even if Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin can return to the stone room above, the chance of escape is very slim, because none of them know Qimen Dunjia, and their physical strength cannot keep up.
"It seems that the tentacles above are also dead, causing the passage mouth to collapse, and the water inside has been led here by the shaft." Wu Xin had already guessed.
Shen Jinsan: "I remember that there is a waterhole over there that is quite clean, let's go and take refuge!" ”
Wu Xin: "I think so too. ”
Shen Jinsan carried Wu Xin to the bottom of the tree with great difficulty, walking on the ground full of tentacles, broken bones and dead people, he used to use his hands to clamp Wu Xin's legs and turn them up every few steps, for fear that this girl would fall, it seemed that she couldn't carry it too much.
From winning the Inner Dan to the present, Shen Jinsan has been acting behind his back, and the degree of difficulty can be imagined, and now he is probably weak in his legs and bright eyes, but Wu Xin's injury is not light, and Shen Jinsan, as a man, will not give up easily.
Wu Xin whispered, "I want to walk for a while." ”
In fact, Wu Xin saw that Shen Jinsan's two arms were almost unable to hold up, so he asked him to put himself down.
The two walked slowly shoulder to shoulder, although there was nothing in the huge cave except for the eerie horror, but it could not prevent the two from falling in love with each other.
Come to the deep pool and sit on the ground and rest for a while, the clear stream from the top of the cave along the stone wall quietly converges here, originally from the big tree, the area of this pool of water does not seem to be very large, now when they come to the near place, the two of them realize that this pool of water is really not small, I am afraid that it is as wide as the road, and Shen Jinsan used the spotlight on his head to shine into the water is also pitch black, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.
Wu Xin washed her face with water, and she found that the stone wall above the deep pool was covered with moss, and at a height of seven or eight meters from the ground, there was a faint large rune array covered by moss.
Wu Xin: "No matter how you look at it, everything here seems to have been carefully arranged by someone, and it is full of Taoist rune arrays, you can see this deep pool, it doesn't look like it has been washed out all year round, but it looks like it has been dug out by hand." ”
Shen Jinsan: "Hmm! It is estimated that this bit of water will not be able to wash away such a large pool for 10,000 years. ”
Shen Jinsan put his face close to the surface of the water to wash away the dirt, feeling that the water in this pool was a little warm, not as cold and biting as the stream above, and then he tilted his head back and forth, as if adjusting the angle to observe something.
Shen Jinsan beckoned to Wu Xin: "Come and see!" ”
After the water was disturbed by Shen Jinsan, it slowly returned to calm, but an irregular large circle appeared on the water surface, as if a part of the water surface was isolated, the large circle was thinner than a hair, so it was difficult to be noticed without looking carefully, it gradually narrowed and finally disappeared without a trace.
Wu Xin: "This is the formation of two different densities of water converging in a relatively small space. ”
Shen Jinsan: "Different densities of water? ”
Wu Xin: "Yes, the density of water will vary depending on the minerals contained in it, and it will be like this when mixed together. ”
Shen Jinsan's mind quickly thought: "The water here is very warm, there should be another different stream of water coming in, maybe we can get out of this pool!" ”
Wu Xin: "I don't know if it's deep or not, and where it leads." ”
Shen Jinsan: "Then you wait here, I'll dive down and take a look first!" ”
Wu Xin: "Let's go together, so we can take care of it!" ”
Shen Jinsan: "Okay! I felt that I couldn't hold it anymore, so I quickly turned back. ”
Wu Xin: "Yes! ”
"...... Uproar"
Shen Jinsan took Wu Xin and dived.
The deep pool is covered with black moss, and these mosses swing gently in the water, indicating that this is the living water of the pool.
Wu Xin hung a large piece with a dagger, and the ancient stone carvings were revealed behind it, she really didn't guess wrong, this is artificially built, and its age is very old from the content and carving techniques, it should be no less than three or four thousand years.
Because it is covered with black moss, so you can't see the situation in the water from above, only by diving down can you know, this deep pool is actually oblique down, and the slope is also very gentle, Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin inadvertently lifted the moss under their feet, revealing the flat granite, here seems to be a huge passage, I don't know where the end will lead, but it is certain that the exit will be connected to a large body of water.
Wherever they passed, they could see a lot of carved stone pillars that were staggering around, and there were many beasts carved from a single stone, but they were not of Han shape, and these stone carvings seemed to be placed there according to certain rules, and things of this level and scale were not something that ordinary people could do.
The current is getting more and more rapid, and they take Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin to swim outside, which does save them a lot of effort, but if the distance of the deep pool is too long, and they can't swim out in one breath and can't turn back, it will be extremely dangerous.
"Knock ......"
An animal suddenly crashed into Shen Jinsan, and then quickly swam to a short distance and stopped there.
Shen Jinsan took the lamp and shone it.
"Water monkeys!"
The two of them broke out in a cold sweat, could it be the one who fought with them?
The water monkey was illuminated by the lamp, and without saying a word, he rushed over to fight them, and Shen Jinsan still had the small dagger that Wu Xin used to open the copper coffin mechanism pinned to his waist, and he quickly pulled it out and stabbed it at the water monkey.
No matter how much strength you have in the water, you can't fight this beast, but the water monkey seems to be a little afraid of light, it tries to avoid the spotlight on Shen Jinsan's head, and rushes towards Wu Xin with a quick turn, Wu Xin has already grasped the hand of the dagger and hid behind her, she wants to give the water monkey a surprise solution, otherwise with the current state, it will not be able to fight a protracted battle.
I saw that the water monkey stretched out his arms and opened his big mouth to hug Wu Xin and was about to lower his mouth, in the moment they approached, Wu Xin showed a dagger aimed at his heart and stabbed hard, the dagger instantly did not enter the body of the water monkey, the beast's body shrank and trembled, it knew that it was too late, so it simply bit Wu Xin regardless of hugging Wu Xin, and as a result, it bit at the place where Wu Xin's chest hid the bronze mirror of the corpse, and the night clothes were torn open by its teeth.
Shen Jinsan was behind the water monkey, the spotlight on his head happened to shine on the copper mirror, a beam of light was reflected by the copper mirror and shone on the water monkey's face, the water monkey kicked Wu Xin away, and kept trying to block the light with his hands with his teeth and claws.
This beast is afraid of the bronze mirror of the corpse!
Wu Xin reacted very quickly, took out the bronze mirror and pointed it at the water monkey, the beast trembled like an electric shock and shrunk into a ball, Shen Jin raised the knife in his third hand, and inserted the dagger into its head, and suddenly the two of them felt a chill, and the water monkey actually turned into a puddle of black water and dissipated into a deep pool.
It seems that it is true that the water monkey is transformed by a water ghost, otherwise how could he be afraid of the bronze mirror of this corpse.
After solving the water monkey, Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin had already rushed to the chest and were very depressed, and the oxygen contained in the blood was obviously insufficient, but it was impossible to turn back, because the two suddenly found that in the process of the water monkey fighting, they had been unconsciously carried out by the water flow for a long distance.
After trying to continue to swim forward for a short while, Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin both frowned and rushed to be very painful, it seemed that they were really going to suffocate here, and there was no exit ahead, they knew that there was little hope, so they simply gave up surviving, approached and hugged each other tightly.
