Chapter 218: Fish Bone
Qi Shengshan explained to me, "One of the tributaries of the Pearl River happens to have a big bend here, which is why the water becomes so turbulent. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing"
He pointed to the middle of the river and said, "Look, that's the Sky Swallowing Tower!" “
Looking in the direction of his finger, I realized that it was in the middle of the river. There is a stone tower about a dozen feet high.
Its appearance is very different from that of ordinary stone towers.
Its whole shape is more like a giant dragon that seems to be about to rise into the air.
The dragon's mouth was open and facing the sky, more like it was about to swallow the whole sky into its stomach.
One of its mouths is four or five feet in size. It seems very incongruous with the body.
The entire stone pagoda was built in the water, and the part above the water surface was more than ten zhang high.
As for how deep it is below, no one knows about this, because even Qi Shengshan and others. I haven't been there.
If it weren't for the fear that the people of the Heavenly Spirit Society would come, they wouldn't have taken out the jade pendant inside.
The Sky Swallowing Tower was enveloped in heavy water vapor, and within a few feet of it, there was a pale red glow flickering.
Because the magic array was set up around the stone tower, the Heavenly Spirit Society would torture the people of Qikou Village and let them disarm the formation.
Qi Shengshan had already prepared the boat, and selected a few villagers who were very good at the water and followed me on the boat.
Including Qi Shengshan, there were six of us.
Among them are two top-level spiritual-level figures.
The other two are junior spirit masters, their names are Lianpu and Wanping, and although their strength is not the strongest in the village, they can also be ranked.
The six of us got into two boats, and Cao Xi and Kuroko stood by the water and watched us.
Kuroko's eyes stared at the stone tower without blinking, and he let out a low roar, and even his hair stood on end.
Cao Xi said to me, "You have to be careful, the sunspot is warning you that you are in danger." “
Actually, I also have a very bad premonition.
But since it's something left over from the Ghost Face Alliance, of course it can't be allowed to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Spirit Society!
I said to her, "Don't worry, it'll be fine!" “
Qi Shengshan said, "If you want to crack the magic array around the Sky Swallowing Tower, you have to start from two directions. “
He said to Lian Pu, "Brother Lian, you and Lao Wan go to the west of the Sky Swallowing Tower and start from there!" “
Lianpu is about forty years old and gives people a very stable feeling.
He and Wan Ping rowed another small boat towards the other side of the stone tower.
We're on this boat. The two top spirits were in charge of rowing.
They were all about twenty years old, and the sturdy one was named Shen Mingjie. The other, shorter one, was named Fan Li.
Qi Shengshan and I stood in the middle of the boat, looking at the Sky Swallowing Tower, which was getting closer and closer.
You can smell a strong fishy smell from afar.
Although it is in the middle of a river, it is impossible to have such a strong fishy smell.
Even Qi Shengshan frowned and asked, "How can there be such a taste?" “
Shen Mingjie said, "The smell seems to be wafting from the Sky Swallowing Tower. “
It's just a stone tower, how can it have such a strong fishy smell? Is it full of fish?
Qi Shengshan said, "I heard that there is something very special in the stone tower, which can attract the surrounding fish. “
I've been fishing with my grandfather for so long, and I've never heard of anything like this.
Three or four feet away from the stone tower, Qi Shengshan asked them to stop the boat.
He had the magic in his hand. Recite the incantation at the same time.
His fingers were in the shape of sword fingers, pointing to the reddish mist around the stone tower.
At this time, Lian Pu and Wan Ping also arrived on the other side of the stone tower.
Qi Shengshan and Lianpu cooperated to crack the magic array around the stone tower.
It seemed to be very difficult to do so, Qi Shengshan's fingers trembled slightly, and sweat ran down his cheeks.
None of them spoke, only the rumbling sound of the water could be heard.
Shen Mingjie and Fan Li's expressions were nervous. They controlled the boat and stopped motionless.
Qi Shengshan cracked the magic array. It took nearly twenty minutes.
As I watched the blisters emerge from around the stone tower, the reddish mist was fading at a visible rate.
With a pop, the space trembled slightly, and the fog finally disappeared.
The tall Sky-Swallowing Tower appeared in front of everyone.
Without that layer of mist, the stone tower looks even more majestic and majestic.
Qi Shengshan wiped the sweat from his head and said in a low voice, "It's okay." “
Shen Mingjie stared intently at the Sky Swallowing Tower, with a look of surprise on his face.
He whispered, "I saw it seem to move just now, I wonder if you noticed it?" “
Qi Shengshan said with a wry smile, "You guy is talking nonsense again, how can the stone tower move?" You must be blind, right? “
Shen Mingjie smiled and didn't say anything more.
The two of them rowed and continued to approach the stone tower.
And Lian Pu and Wan Ping's boats are also coming this way.
All six of us came to the same boat.
The closer the boat gets to the tower, the stronger the fishy smell becomes.
The entire stone tower is in the shape of a dragon, and the dragon's head is facing the sky.
The dragon's body snaws, and on one side of it, there is an entrance to a black hole that is more than a man tall.
Qi Shengshan's expression was very serious. They have guarded the Sky Swallowing Tower for decades, but they have never been so close to it.
I don't even know what's inside.
Just when we were still more than a foot away from the Sky Swallowing Tower, suddenly, a crackling sound sounded.
As if it was raining heavily, silver-white silver carp jumped up from the water.
They panicked, and the water within a radius of dozens of zhang was covered by them, and many fish jumped directly into the boat.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
I watched the dense school of fish swim into the distance.
In just ten minutes, dozens of silver carp jumped in the boat.
"What's going on? How could it be with so many silver carp? Lian Pu asked puzzled.
Shen Mingjie said, "Maybe they used the Sky Swallowing Tower as a nest, and we broke into the fish nest. “
Although the magic circle works on people, it does not hinder fish at all.
Qi Shengshan frowned, looked at the fleeing fish, and said to everyone, "The water here is so turbulent, it can't be a fish nest." There must be something that draws them here. “
And the fishy smell we smell may be emitted by them.
Lian Pu looked up at the tall stone tower and said, "The stone tower is surrounded by a magic array, could there be something terrible hiding inside?" “
Qi Shengshan said, "It's you who are too worried." The reason why the ancestor surrounded it with a magic array was just because he was afraid that outsiders would enter. “
Lianpu was also skeptical of his explanation.
We parked the boat at the entrance and tethered it securely.
Qi Shengshan frowned. Looking at the entrance to that black hole.
He just wanted to go in, but Shen Mingjie hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Qi." I'll go in first, and you'll follow me. “
In fact, everyone knows that if there is danger inside, then the first person to go will definitely be the first to be unlucky.
He jumped to his feet, grabbed the doorframe of the entrance with both hands, and slipped inside.
The group followed him and jumped in one by one.
There was a lot of space inside the stone tower, and everyone turned on their flashlights.
A few bright rays of light pierced the darkness, and the fishy smell became stronger.
Everyone felt that their feet were slippery, and they used a flashlight to shine on the ground, and then they found out. The ground was filled with viscous liquid.
The fishy smell is what comes out of those liquids.
Lianpu frowned and asked, "What is this?" It doesn't seem to be a river. “
He dipped his finger in it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said. "It's like human saliva!"
Shen Mingjie said, "Brother Lian, don't be kidding, how can there be saliva in the stone tower!" “
Seeing the two of them joking on the side, Qi Shengshan said, "Be careful, everyone, I always feel that something is wrong!" “
The six of us walked side by side, and the space was spacious.
As soon as he walked in, Qi Shengshan stopped, pointed ahead, and said, "Look, there are a lot of fish bones there!" “
Everyone shone their flashlight beams in that direction, and there were a large pile of fish bones against the wall.
The bones are not long, but they are about the same size as the silver carp we encountered when we came in.
There seems to be something that likes to eat fish very much, eats all the fish meat, and throws all the fish bones here.
Qi Shengshan said, "There are really living things in the stone tower, otherwise there would be no fish bones." “
And those fish bones are like a small mountain, and I don't know how many fish have died in the stone tower.
The group continued to walk cautiously inside, and a stone staircase stretched diagonally upward.
Similarly, the stone steps were covered in slime.
