Chapter 156: The Answer in the Ice River (I)
When Tang Qianlin walked up the crystal stairs step by step, he raised his eyes and found that there seemed to be a person standing on the high platform, but because the light emitted by that object was too dazzling, he couldn't see clearly.
He stopped, waited for the dazzling light to flicker, and then looked closely, only to realize that it was not a person, it seemed to be a thin stake against a human head?
An Ran also tried to walk up the stairs, but Tang Qianlin stopped: "Don't come up, wait below!" ”
After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he retreated back safely, and stood there with Li Yunfan, Ye Da, and Tang Yushi looking at Tang Qianlin who walked up step by step.
When Victor and the others slowly walked to the front of the stairs, Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan retreated, and when they retreated, they found Liu Zongchang who walked in tremblingly.
Liu Zongchang looked at the radiant cave, grinned, took out his tools and walked to the crystal next to him, knocked off a piece with the tool, and greedily put it into his pocket.
Bei Zihong frowned and looked at Liu Zongchang, nodded to Yan Liuyan, Yan Liuyan stepped forward and restrained Liu Zongchang, and directly broke his neck.
Liu Zongchang fell to the ground and died, and then a strange scene occurred, his body slowly floated, and as it floated, it began to slowly rotate around the object above it, like other floating things.
Yan Liuyan retreated to Bei Zihong's side and watched with him in surprise, but the attention of the others was on Tang Qianlin and they didn't notice it.
Bei Zihong looked at Liu Zongchang's corpse floating in mid-air, and whispered in Manchu: "It seems that lifeless things will float up, this place is very strange, you should be more careful." ”
Yan Liuyan looked at Maeda Masaji and the others in front of him: "King Yin, now is a good opportunity, do you want to solve them all?" ”
Bei Zihong shook his head: "I don't know what is in front yet, keep them, we can let them continue to open the way for us, although their weapons are better than ours, but once they get close, they may not be our opponents." ”
After Tang Qianlin walked on the high platform, he finally saw clearly that it was not a pile, and what was on top of the pile was not a human head, but a phoenix face hanging on a lower phoenix gun.
Lower phoenix spear and phoenix noodles? Tang Qianlin stood there and watched, but there was a familiar feeling, as if these two things originally belonged to him.
Tang Qianlin was just about to reach out and pull out the lower phoenix spear that was piercing the high platform, when the small sun above suddenly brightened again, and the light shone under the high platform, reflecting a dazzling light.
When the light gradually weakened, Tang Qianlin found that there was a frozen river under the high platform, and judging from the shape of the frozen river, the depths of the cave were upstream.
As the light faded and disappeared, the river was swallowed up by darkness, replaced by an oval-shaped dome above the river that glowed blue.
Tang Qianlin looked towards the dome and found that the dome was like the night sky, not only could he see the full moon, but he could also see the stars in the sky, but the full moon was actually blood-red.
Victor and the others finally couldn't help it and walked towards the top of the high platform, and An Ran and Ye Da and the others also hurried in front of them and came to Tang Qianlin's side.
Everyone looked up at the beautiful dome, but they didn't know what it all represented.
Masaji Maeda asked, "What the hell is this?" ”
Tang Qianlin motioned to Maeda Masaji not to speak: "Listen carefully, it's the sound of a cold current." ”
Everyone listened carefully, and indeed heard a low roar, and then Tang Qianlin suddenly dragged An Ran down, and shouted at the same time: "Get down!" Fast! ”
As soon as he finished shouting, a huge cold current washed out from the depths of the river, which skipped directly above the river and struck into the cavern below the high platform.
After the cold current rushed over, everyone slowly got up, Tang Qianlin leaned over and looked under the high platform, and found that there was a cave below.
"It looks like the cave under the platform is the entrance to the tunnel, and the river flows into it, but it's frozen." Tang Qianlin looked down, "But it seems that this is the end, and you can't go any further." ”
Enron asked, "So what does this mean?" ”
Tang Qianlin speculated: "That glowing sphere seems to represent the sun, the dome here is the moon and stars, and below is a river, judging from the frozen form of the river, it seems to be very turbulent." ”
Everyone looked around, and for a moment they couldn't tell what was going on.
At this moment, the small sun once again emitted a dazzling light, and after the light shone into the cavern, it spread out and concentrated on the dome, which reflected the glacier below.
The moment the light shone down, the glacier made a melting sound, and some of the ice turned into water and flowed around.
Tang Qianlin raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "Time difference." ”
Ye Da asked, "What is the time difference?" ”
Tang Qianlin pointed to the little sun: "I just calculated, every time a cold snap hits, this little sun will shine, and the longer the time, the stronger the light, and the higher the temperature in the cave." ”
Li Yunfan said: "You mean that the sun will shine in the period after each cold snap, that is, in the interval between each cold snap?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "That's right, you also saw before, the strong light will shine on the dome, and the glacier will gradually melt from the dome and then shine on the glacier below, but because of the lack of time, it will only melt a little bit, so if the glacier wants to melt completely, you can only wait for the longest interval between cold snaps of 15 minutes per hour." ”
Bei Zihong stepped forward and said, "Tang Qianlin, do you mean that after the glacier melts, there will be the answer we want?" ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Bei Zihong: "As far as the current situation is concerned, it should be like this, if you want to know what's going on, you can only wait for those 15 minutes to come, maybe we will dive under the glacier." ”
When Tang Qianlin mentioned diving, the rest of the people frowned, at this temperature, entering the glacier is undoubtedly looking for death, and it is impossible to survive.
Finally, the precious 15-minute interval of an hour came, and as Tang Qianlin had speculated, after the cold snap, the light of the small sun converged through the dome, shining on the glacier below, melting the entire glacier at the same time.
The sound of the glacier cracking changed from a "click" to a heart-rending shout, giving the people on the high platform the feeling that they were looking down on hell.
When the glacier is completely dissolved, the whole river becomes turbulent, but strangely enough, the water in it flows repeatedly, and there seems to be no fixed upstream and downstream division.
At the moment when the waves below that kept crashing against each other surged, everyone seemed to see countless human heads mixed in it, and opened their mouths to let out a cry of pain.
"Lechuan River ......," Tang Qianlin said suddenly.
An Ran grabbed Tang Qianlin's arm tightly and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "You forgot, when you look down on the Nai He Bridge, you see the scene of the Lechuan River almost exactly the same as here." ”
As soon as Tang Qianlin said this, Ye Da and the others recalled.
Ye Da looked down and said, "Could it be that this is also the Lechuan River?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Bei Zihong looked down: "It's just a river, what can it tell us?" ”
The waves in the river were getting higher and higher, and the roar in them was getting louder and louder, and so did the fifteen minutes pass quickly, and the light emitted by the little sun gradually disappeared, and then the cold current rushed out from the depths, and only for a moment it froze the river that was still roaring and crashing.
Everything was still again, and everyone looked down, but they didn't find anything strange or strange.
Most people looked at Tang Qianlin and wanted to get an answer from him, but Tang Qianlin was also confused and didn't understand what this place meant.
Does just a river represent the location of the Shaman's Palace? Where exactly? There are no clear instructions at all, are there?
Suddenly, Tang Qianlin thought of the city plan he had recorded before, he took it out, looked carefully at the frozen river below, thought about it, and took the rope from Ye Da.
Ye Da asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I can't see clearly on it, I have to go down." ”
Bei Zihong immediately said to Yan Liuyan: "Six words, nail the stake, tie the rope!" ”
Yan Liuyan immediately started to drive the iron stakes into the high platform, and after beating two of them, he tied the rope and threw them under the high platform.
Just when Tang Qianlin and Ye Da were about to go down, Bei Zihong grabbed Ye Da's rope: "I'll go down with him!" You wait. ”
Maeda Masaji in the rear looked at Victor, but Victor just shook his head slightly, telling Maeda Masaji not to move, just wait.
Tang Qianlin looked at the pocket watch and said, "I can't go down now, the next interval is only 3 minutes, we still need to wait a little longer, wait until the interval of 7 minutes and then go down." ”
An Ran said: "Seven minutes is not enough, why don't we wait another hour?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Just go down and take a look, I need to stand on the edge of the glacier and take a look to be sure." ”
While Bei Zihong was standing there waiting, he gave Yan Liuyan a look.
After Yan Liuyan saw that look, he knew that he could do it at the right time, because the mystery was about to be solved, and he definitely couldn't let the Japanese and Germans know about it.
When the interval of 7 minutes finally came, Tang Qianlin immediately slid down the rope, and after quickly sliding to the bottom, he immediately squatted down and looked at the frozen river in parallel, and then looked up at the dome above.
The moment the light from the dome hit the glacier, the frozen waves began to melt gradually.
Bei Zihong also squatted down and watched from Tang Qianlin's appearance, and suddenly Bei Zihong suddenly realized something, he smiled, turned around and grabbed the rope, and climbed up quickly.
The rest of the people didn't know why Bei Zihong suddenly climbed back, and their attention was still focused on Tang Qianlin.
Tang Qianlin stood there, still pondering something.
An Ran shouted anxiously: "Qianlin! Come on! What are you doing! The time is almost up! ”
Ye Da also hurriedly shouted: "Old Tang, hurry up!" Hurry up! ”
After climbing up, Bei Zihong looked at Victor and the others with a smile, and his eyes were full of provocation.
Suddenly, Bei Zihong shot at the remaining soldiers of the Three Rivers team, and a punch hit him in the throat, and Yan Liuyan also immediately shot and attacked Victor and several other Germans.
The high platform was suddenly in chaos, Li Yunfan, Tang Yushi, and Ye Da protected An Ran, standing on the edge of the high platform, watching Bei Zihong, Yan Liuyan and Maeda Masaji fighting.
Because of the limited space on the high platform, Maeda Masaji and others did not dare to shoot for fear of injuring their own people by mistake, so they had to fight and retreat, but in just a few minutes, the remaining Japanese soldiers and two German soldiers were stabbed by Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan.
