Chapter Seventy-Five: Immortal Lotus Pond
The underground entrance of the Dragon King Temple, like an endless abyss leading to the underworld, exudes an aura of gloom and fear, and Yan Yu longs to escape from this place from the bottom of his heart.
The groundhog was like a great enemy, his eyes showed a fierce light, his body arched, and after a burst of accumulation, he rushed out like an arrow from the string at an unimaginable speed in Yan Yu!
Before Yan Yu came back to his senses, the marmot had already drilled through the gap in the baffle!
The gap was only the size of half a foot, and the fat body of the marmot seemed to be boneless, and it could really squeeze into it!
"Dangerous!" Yan Yu stepped forward quickly, intending to lift the baffle and fish up the marmot, but the baffle was too heavy, and Yan Yu took a lot of effort to lift a gap.
As soon as the baffle was lifted, a cool air rushed out, and this cool air was like a silver needle, piercing Yan Yu's calf!
Yan Yu bit the flashlight in his mouth, and the screams could only be suppressed in his heart, and he lowered his head suddenly, and in the aperture of the flashlight, countless black insects surged out from the gaps in the baffle like gushing ink!
This thing is not a blood rat woman, but the kind of black worm that Hong Dafu once bitten, and it is bigger, and it seems to have a carapace on its body, like a turtle insect, and like a black beetle, which makes people's scalp numb!
The speed of the insect tide was so fast that Yan Yu didn't react at all, and the insect tide submerged Yan Yu's feet and climbed up along his feet, and Yan Yu soon became a "worm man"!
This feeling is extremely delicate, as if countless small electric currents are swimming on the skin, although the insects have not bitten through the flesh, but the fear in their hearts is deeper than this dark night, deeper than this black insect tide!
The swarm went down to the right and up, drowning Yan Yu's body in the blink of an eye, seeing that only his eyes were left, those insects seemed to touch the wound on Yan Yu's face, and instantly retreated!
Yan Yu was like suddenly wearing an insect suit and suddenly taking it off!
After the insect swarm retreated, Yan Yu seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of heavy burden, remembering Zhao Tongxiao's warning, for fear that the insects would bring disaster, and he didn't care that the groundhog was still inside, and he put down the baffle with a bang!
The tide of insects was cut off by the baffle, but there were still many scattered in all directions, and they were like shadows in the moonlight, dissipating into the night, and there was no more sound!
"Suffered!" Yan Yu subconsciously retreated far away, and the flashlight swept around, but he didn't find half a bug, as if Shicai was just his illusion, and the insect tide never appeared!
But his skin was still numb, and there was still a rusty smell from the insects in his nasal cavity, which was too real, constantly reminding Yan Yu that Shicai was not an illusion at all!
At this moment, the squeaky of a groundhog was heard under the baffle, the cry was too rapid, and a picture kept coming to Yan Yu's mind.
The fat marmot is afraid of being overwhelmed by the swarm and gnawing until only bones remain!
After waiting for a few seconds, the cry was still continuing, and the frequency was getting higher and higher, and the cry became more and more urgent, Yan Yu thought that the groundhog should still be saved, so he gritted his teeth and lifted the baffle again!
A black shadow sprang out of the crack, and it was really the fat groundhog!
Yan Yu was afraid that the insects would come out again, so he hurriedly put down the baffle, and as soon as the flashlight shone, the groundhog had already rushed into the ruins piled up on the side!
The ruins had not yet had time to be cleared, and they were all the remnants of the burning fire, piled up like a hill.
Yan Yu's flashlight tried its best to capture the figure of the groundhog, but its speed was too fast, and it was completely different from the previous fat and bulky image!
At this time, the groundhog is like an angry cat, chasing the shadow behind him, and spinning in place as if he is crazy, constantly pounced on the black shadow on the ground!
Yan Yu was about to go over to appease him, but after only a few steps, he suddenly stopped!
Because he found that the shadow of the groundhog was constantly changing, like a ghost!
Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, Yan Yu's scalp was also numb!
Because it's not the shadow of a groundhog, it's a black bug that is pouring out from all directions, fighting the groundhog!
The groundhog was like gnawing on iron beans, biting and swallowing these black insects one by one, Yan Yu only realized at this time that its earlier excitement was not like facing a great enemy, but more like a hungry ghost seeing his favorite food!
Although the groundhog is likable, it is possible to carry the most terrifying plague germs.
Zhao Tong's mouth will bring disaster to human beings, making people mistakenly think that the black worm that has long been extinct has become food in the mouth of the groundhog!
It's hard to imagine that the cute fat guy is as fast as a lightning mink at this time, as accurate as a poisonous snake out of a hole, and it doesn't take a moment to eat all the black bugs that escaped!
It was as if it had eaten too much, and it burped and spat out a mouthful of mist!
Yan Yu was also stunned, but the groundhog was still burping and spitting out smoke, as if those black insects were tinder!
The marmot became irritable and kept digging the earth, as if to dig up water to quench its thirst and extinguish the fire in its body.
It became furious, and Yan Yu did not dare to approach, and after a while, the groundhog finally couldn't bear it anymore, and its nose kept sniffing, and it flew out quickly!
"Where are you going!" Yan Yu hurriedly chased out, but his heart became more and more solemn, because the route of the groundhog this time was actually going inside, and further ahead was the forbidden place of the Qin family's ancestral tomb!
Thanks to Qin Dayou and a group of old men defending to the death, and the fire brigade arrived in time, the ancestral tomb of the Qin family was saved.
At this time, in the middle of the night, so many things happened, and there was no one to guard the ancestral tomb anymore, so Yan Yu boldly chased in.
But even so, Yan Yu's heart was still full of uneasiness, although the moonlight above his head was like snow, but after all, it was a cemetery, he was not afraid of any gods and ghosts, but worried about unknown creatures such as black bugs.
The speed of the groundhog was too fast, and Yan Yu chased after him for less than a few minutes, and he had already crossed the place where the old man used to sit.
That is the boundary of the ancestral tomb, and further inside, it is the forbidden land of the ancestral tomb.
After all, Yan Yu was a foreigner and had never set foot here, and at this time, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
It is no wonder that the ancestral tomb of the Qin family is easily not allowed to outsiders to enter, this ancestral tomb even has Shinto, and there are human-height stone statues on both sides of the Shinto, if it is placed in ancient times, this is simply the specifications of the emperor and general!
It's hard to imagine that the poor and remote Laohe Fort has such a magnificent ancestral grave place, if it is ancient, this is the trespassing, even at this time, with this ancestral tomb, the old Hebao is afraid that it will also set off the world's shocking news!
The groundhog kept running forward, and Yan Yu could only "look at the flowers", roughly scanning the surrounding environment, Rao was so, he was still shocked by the surrounding buildings.
At this time, I suddenly heard a sound of water, poof!
Yan Yu was even more surprised, and chased forward, and saw a stone lotus pond in front of him, although there was no lotus in the pool, there was water, and it was clear and clean water!
The groundhog is soaking in the water, gurgling and drinking, above the lotus pond, is a huge stone fairy gourd, trickling, is flowing down from the mouth of the gourd, the waterline is not very big, but gradually splashing like a night pearl!
Yan Yu finally understood why the people of Laohebao had never been dying of thirst after many years of drought, and finally understood why the men of Laohebao could always find water, although they could only match the supply, but they could survive.
He finally understood why the men were not willing to look for water, because there was water in the ancestral grave!
Although it can be clearly seen that the water flowing out of the mouth of the fairy gourd is not large, and the water stored in the lotus pond is not much, but it is more than enough to save the old river fort!
All the fog seemed to be cleared all at once, no wonder Qin Dayou forbade idle people to enter the forbidden land of the ancestral tomb, it turned out that there was such a good treasure hidden!
Perhaps Qin Dayou has such a great prestige in the village, in addition to his conduct in the world, the main reason is because of this lotus pond.
Because he controlled the water source, it was equivalent to choking the lives of the whole village, and he finally understood why Qin Dayou opposed him to find the water source.
Because he found a new water source, the villagers will no longer be restrained by him, and Qin Dayou will completely lose his control over the villagers!
Of course, maybe Qin Dayou just wanted to keep this secret, if it was spread out, people from nearby villages would come here to get water, but there were not many hands here, and they were only enough to save Lao Hebao.
If people find out, they are afraid that it will lead to a fight, and no one will want to take advantage of it at that time.
All of this, after the appearance of this water source, has been completely disrupted and must be reconsidered.
If it weren't for the groundhog, Yan Yu wouldn't have found this place at all, let alone this water source!
It's just that Yan Yu didn't understand, how Qin Dayou persuaded the people from the fire brigade that day not to let them enter here, was it just because he was eloquent?
Qin Dayou has been able to keep this secret for so long, and he also has his ability and means to think about it, Yan Yu didn't think much about it, but he had a great interest in this lotus pond and immortal gourd.
Because whether it is a lotus pond or an immortal gourd, they are all Taoist things, which has to make Yan Yu have some associations!
When Yan Yu got closer, the flashlight shone more clearly, and he also gasped.
Because he finally saw clearly, this fairy hu is not a lonely fairy gourd, the immortal gourd is only a small part, there is a statue of an immortal with a long beard fluttering on the fairy gourd, but it is already dilapidated, half of the body has collapsed, the lower half of the body is buried in the soil, and the immortal hu hangs on the waist of the immortal!
Looking at it this way, the sense of age is coming, as if Yan Yu has been brought back to ancient times!
Qin Dayou always persuaded Yan Yu, saying that his old river fort has been inherited for thousands of years, Yan Yu has never taken it seriously, and now it seems that this is not Qin Dayou's words, let alone an exaggeration, this old river fort is really something!
