Chapter 176: Basilica Cistern (II)

Hu Chong swallowed his saliva vigorously, turned his head to look at me, and then said with a bitter grin: "If you put your life into it for the sake of a creation, is it worth it?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile, but I shook my head, in fact, I understood what Hu Chong meant, he was very hesitant, and more importantly, he didn't want to die, if his life was gone, how could he be a great creation? So I followed his point of view and thought it wasn't worth it.

"But I still want this creation!"

Hu Chong instantly and firmly responded: "But the only problem I have now is that in the deep water layer, I am afraid that I can't withstand the crushing of the water pressure, Brother Li Dao's cultivation is profound, so he is naturally not afraid, but I ...... You have to find a way to overcome this problem, or you will die if you go in! What Elder Xu said is right, the natural treasures in this are really not what ordinary people can get if they want to get it, if it weren't for all the hard work and tribulation, it would not be easy to get anything. ”

"I can help you with the water pressure problem!"

Ling'er suddenly smiled and said: "It just so happens that the enchantment I have recently practiced has not come in handy, this time I can help you, I will use the enchantment to give you a ride, but I have just practiced for a short time now, I am afraid that the enchantment will not last long, I hope it can help you, at least fifteen to twenty zhang deep, there should be no problem, and then down, it depends on your own ability." Hearing this, Hu Chong immediately nodded happily and agreed.

I've forgotten about the enchantment, the Void Elder just taught Ling'er twenty-eight kinds of superior enchantments a few years ago, and now is the time to use it! After that, Ling'er immediately walked up to Hu Chong, and instantly pinched out a strange handprint with both hands, and at the same time, drew a big circle around Hu Chong's head, and then silently recited the words in his mouth, as for what he read, I don't know. After a while, but when I saw Ling'er's handprints, it was a crystal clear aura, constantly revolving around Hu Chong's head, and after a while, a spherical transparent body was formed.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Your head is several times bigger than ordinary people!" There's no reason why you can't go to the bottom this time, hehe! Without further ado, let's go down quickly! With that, I instantly handed over the yellow cloth bag and the lightning strike wooden sword on my body to Ling'er, and then took off my coat again, wearing only underwear and underwear, and pulled up my trouser legs and sleeves, and then, without saying anything, I rushed into the water.

As soon as I entered the water, the temperature was suddenly cold and biting, but then, the innate qi in my body quickly emerged on the surface of my skin, which seemed to form a protective film for me, completely covering me inside. In this way, the water temperature suddenly adapted, and I was able to breathe, I didn't need to breathe through my nose at all, but it was like a fish, constantly piercing in the water, and after a while, I saw Hu Chong also jumped in, he was wearing a small enchantment on his head, and it seemed that he could still breathe inside, and soon caught up with me.

I waved my hand, motioned for Hu Chong to follow me, and immediately plunged deeper into the water. Constantly sinking downward, starting a distance of five or six zhang, it seems to feel very fast, but the further down, the greater the repulsion of the water, as if trying to push me out alive, I immediately rushed downward, and Hu Chong also followed closely behind me, gradually, about we have entered more than ten zhang deep position, I did not expect that in the water, the speed of physical consumption is so fast, the deeper I go, the more amazing my physical exertion.

Fortunately, there is an innate Qi that can be maintained, not to mention that as long as I can continue to sink and swim down, there will be nothing, and after a while, we gradually reached a depth of fifteen or sixteen zhang, and I immediately turned my head to look at Hu Chong, but saw that the enchantment on his head seemed to have some traces of cracks, and the enchantment seemed to be unable to hold on.

Seeing this, I immediately stretched out my hand, grabbed Hu Chong's arm that was still struggling, and instantly rushed downward, as long as the enchantment was not broken, I tried my best to rush as deep as I could, which could save Hu Chong a lot of time. Finally, when we quickly rushed to the position of more than 20 zhang, but saw the enchantment on Hu Chong's head, it suddenly dispersed, and Hu Chong also held his breath, not daring to gasp so violently, and then followed me to push the water hard, and rushed down!

Now every time we sink the distance, it is like carrying the power of a thousand catties, which is very heavy, and Hu Chong's face instantly turns red, and then becomes purple. Seeing this, I can't help but be shocked, if I can't go to the bottom of the water and find the entrance to the underground water tank, I'm afraid Hu Chong won't be able to hold on...... Thinking of this, I didn't care about anything else, grabbed Hu Chong's fierce point and rushed down a few feet, and finally saw the outline of the bottom of the water in the deepest part, which was pitch black.

Feeling that the innate Qi is getting more and more difficult, I know that I can't last long, and it is just reluctant to be able to get here. Looking back, I saw Hu Chong, who seemed to be unable to hold it back, and his face had turned the color of pig liver, I couldn't help frowning, and immediately signaled Hu Chong to perceive the location of the underground water tank, but soon, Hu Chong shook his hands desperately, signaling that he couldn't stand it anymore, and if he didn't go out, he would suffocate to death under the water.

Seeing that Hu Chong turned his head and was about to rush up, I had no choice but to let him go, after all, human life is at stake, and it is impossible for me to force Hu Chong to stay here and die. However, just as Hu Chong turned around and wanted to retreat, he suddenly stopped again, as if sensing something, Hu Chong immediately pushed the water and quickly swam towards a dark deep recess. Seeing this, I immediately caught up with Hu Chong's footsteps, but I just caught up with Hu Chong, but I saw that Hu Chong was like a loach, and he disappeared into a hole in the ground with a "swish".

I looked at the entrance to the cave in amazement, could this be ...... I didn't have time to think about it, if I didn't find a place to ventilate, the innate qi would explode in my body, and even if it was the innate qi, it would be impossible to keep me from breathing all the time. After settling down, I had to learn from Hu Chong's appearance, and instantly rushed into the hole, which was a ring-shaped hole, and it was also full of water, and it seemed that if I couldn't find a place to breathe in it, I probably wouldn't be able to get out.

Because the passage is so narrow, there is no room to turn around, let alone turn around. Soon, I seemed to see a glimmer of light in front of me, right...... How can there be light under the water? I didn't have time to think about it, in fact, I didn't have the ability to think about it anymore, I just wanted to quickly find a place to breathe, and soon, I rushed to the bright light, poked my head out of the water, and gasped for breath...... "Ahh Call...... Whew......"

Not far away, sure enough, I saw Hu Chong sticking out his tongue and panting, at this moment he was already tired and paralyzed on the shore, looked at me, Hu Chong said with a bitter face: "Brother Li Dao, I finally understand the meaning of the old man, what is the creation, I feel that if I can come here, it is already the creation...... I almost died in this just now, and if it weren't for you by my side, I would never have come down here alone, it's terrifying! ”

"Huh! There are great treasures in ancient times, hidden in a dangerous place! This sentence is true, to take the treasure, must be the right time and place and the three can be sufficient, throughout the ages, how many people want to get the treasure but can't, most of them are unable to meet these three conditions, in fact, I want to say, the most important thing is to have courage, and there is a hard enough life, it is best to tell fortune before coming in How long can you live, otherwise it is better not to come in, even if there is a heavy treasure here, it is not a place where ordinary people can come! ”

I said with a wry smile and shook my head.

"Huh...... Brother Li Dao is right, I feel very reasonable when I listen to anything now, because then I can know that I am still alive! ”

Hu Chong joked with a smile, and then said: "Brother Li Dao, my perception is back, this is not in the water, my perception is completely unblocked, I can perceive that if I go inside, there will be a bigger cave...... Is that the Basilica Cistern we're looking for? If there is really an underground water tank, Brother Li Dao, then we will be big this time! Ha ha! ”

"Uh...... Don't think about getting rich, in fact, when I traveled the world with my master in the past, I also went to a place where treasures were buried, and there were mountains of gold and silver, and there were gold, silver and jewels everywhere, but I didn't take any of them, not because I didn't want to take them, but those things, not all of them, and I couldn't have them. You'd better not be a miser in the future, you can't walk when you see money, otherwise you'll hurt yourself! ”

Although I arrived here, I still couldn't help but have a thought lesson with Hu Chong.

"As long as I can accumulate money and remove the taboo of not keeping overnight money, I will be content...... Otherwise, I can only go to the ghost hunt every day to beg for a living, if I don't beg for a day, I won't have to live for a day, work hard for a lifetime, and finally find an heir, and I will burp immediately...... In retrospect, this kind of behavior of our ghost hunters is indeed not as good as that of you people in the Daomen, Brother Li Dao, I think about it, if I can survive the catastrophe this time, I will follow you into the Daomen, officially become a disciple of the Daomen, and completely lose the business of the ghost hunters! ”

Hu Chong rested for a while, Huo Di got up, and said solemnly to me, I stared at Hu Chong for a while, and then nodded with a smile. Hu Chong immediately said: "Brother Li Dao, don't believe it! I'm serious! ”

"I'm sure you're serious, right? But now is not the time to discuss this issue, let's find the underground water cistern first, and then let's talk about anything else when we're done with this, otherwise don't say anything! ”

I jumped ashore from the water, got up and saw that there was a passage in front of me, and the light was refracted from it. Because I found it to be a good hiding place, and of course, I had to have the skills to get in...... Pulling Hu Chong up, we looked around, and Hu Chong led the way in front, and we walked into the passage step by step.
