Chapter 268: Xuanwu Pool
After a few steps, we came to a platform that looked quite large, and it looked long and thin, about the length of two football fields, but only a third of the width.
But that's enough for us to stand here.
"Just came up, and I'm going to go into the water again." Brother Tiger pointed forward.
I looked over, and it was indeed going to be in the water again, and it was actually a huge pool, and it was full of water.
The depth of the pool looks far away, how can it be thousands of meters, and there are smooth stone walls all around, it is hard to imagine that there is no place for the stone wall to bulge or dent.
This means that there is no other way for us to do so than to get through this water below.
Further on, in the middle of the pool, there are two huge stone carvings, both floating on the water.
It's two basalts.
It can be seen that the whole turtle-shaped body, the design of the front turtle and the back snake, this is the image of Xuanwu.
And in the middle of the two Xuanwu, there are four short stone pillars, the image of Lao Yin.
I took a deep breath, it is indeed here, corresponding to the Suzaku opposite, if this is the case, I'm afraid this water is not so simple.
Further on, in the farthest distance, we can see a door, which is supposed to be where we are going, and there is a mechanism inside.
"Now our task is to cross the water, that, I'll ...... first"
"Wait a minute, Brother Long." I stopped Brother Long, then pointed to the water surface, and said, "It's better to pay attention, it may be weak water." ”
Brother Long was stunned for a moment, then nodded, we encountered this thing from the ancient city of Yinshan, and then in the underground tomb city, we also saw this thing.
Although there is no such weak water in the inverted tower, I feel that this place is the ancestral hall of the Wen family after all, but it is impossible to say that this place is not here.
Because for a long time, where weak water appears, it has a certain relationship with Xuanwu.
"Give it a try." Brother Long immediately took out an empty kettle, then tied a rope and threw it inside.
As soon as the empty kettle touched the water, it immediately bounced, and then slowly sank downward.
"It's really weak water, try how deep." Brother Long didn't pull back the rope.
After a while, the kettle sank directly to the bottom, and Brother Long marked it on the rope and then pulled it up.
"The depth of the water is about two meters, and one person is definitely not high enough." Brother Long shrugged.
We're not afraid of this, after all, we have some small gas cylinders in our backpacks, which should be able to breathe when underwater.
It's just that our diving glasses and other things are placed on it, and if you go down, you can't see the situation ahead.
"Otherwise, in order to save supplies, I'll go over, Xiaowen, I unlocked the mechanism on Suzaku's side last time, I just need to get to the other side, can't I unlock this mechanism?"
It's a good idea, but for some reason, I always feel a little bit wrong.
We're just waiting here, and we can't seem to say anything.
"Can't wait here." Zhang Shihong said at this time.
We looked at Zhang Shihong together, what did he mean by this.
And Zhang Shihong smiled at me and said: "That trick, I'm really not as good as Brother Wen, but have you ever thought that there is a saying in the trick called the dark room is not to deceive." ”
I nodded, I had heard this sentence before, my father had told me what it meant, but I had never figured out what it meant.
What does Zhang Shihong mean when he talks about this at this time? Is this a dark room?
Zhang Shihong said: "I have also studied this thing, I think, the so-called dark room in the mechanism is not deceiving, it is in this kind of place, this place should be regarded as a dark room, but here, don't think of a simple way to pass, maybe there will be something in the future." ”
I thought about it for a moment and nodded, Zhang Shihong made sense, let's stay here and let Brother Long pass, and if my guess is right, inside the door opposite, there is just a Xuanwu mechanism.
When the time comes, as long as a hexagram of the old yang is placed, it looks like nothing.
But if you think about it, if there is a real problem, it will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, I gave Zhang Shihong a thumbs up and said, "Good reminder, I understand, Brother Long, Shihong is right, we must go over together, not just to pass, you see the Xuanwu in the middle, right?" We're going to go over and see what happens. ”
Brother Long nodded and said, "Okay, since we have said so, let's go over together, and the gas cylinder can only be saved." ”
"I think it's okay if you don't need a gas cylinder, it's just a little slower." Zhang Siqiao said at this time.
Now we all looked at Zhang Siqiao in surprise, don't use a gas cylinder, how can this be done, then there is weak water below, it is impossible to breathe, if you don't use this gas cylinder, then how to pass.
Zhang Siqiao and Lu Xiaodan were both smiling, obviously there was a way for the two of them to think of something.
"If it's only two meters high, we can handle it, even if it's a little higher, about three meters, we can handle it."
After Zhang Siqiao finished speaking, he actually knelt on one knee at me.
I was stunned for a moment, this is usually a marriage proposal posture, here? Impossible, right?
But I immediately knew that I was wrong, after Zhang Siqiao's action was over, he crossed his hands and locked them on his stomach, giving Lu Xiaodan a look.
Lu Xiaodan immediately went over, stepped on Zhang Siqiao's hand with one foot, and stepped on Zhang Siqiao's leg parallel to the ground with the other.
In this way, Lu Xiaodan is a little taller.
I did the math, and more than two meters is definitely there.
"yes, that's a good idea." Brother Long immediately clapped his hands and said: "We can work in pairs, one can do this action underwater, and the other can probe breathing, and then change people, this method takes less time, and if the two cooperate, there is no problem." ”
Lu Xiaodan came down and said: "That's right, anyway, using a gas cylinder is also to breathe, this kind of breathing method, we just move a little slower, but we can save a lot of gas cylinders." ”
This is really a good idea, to be honest, I really have a little hard time saying what will happen next, Zhang Siqiao's method, we can all do it, and it also saves trouble and resources.
Brother Long just allocated it, because we have to use this method to pass, so we assign it, and it is all based on the close weight as the standard.
Brother Long and Brother Tiger were in a group, Zhang Shihong and I were in a group, and then two ladies were in a group, and Brother Long also said that if we enter the water, one person should walk with his back and the other face each other.
In this way, when we come out of the water to breathe, we can probably see a distance, and the person who is walking in the forward direction can roughly understand where we have gone.
This is a method, I discussed it with Zhang Shihong, and decided that he should be the one who walks upright, and I just need to turn my back to it.
"Our first goal is to go to Xuanwu in the middle first, and when we get there, we'll look at the situation." I looked at the two Xuanwu first, and they looked like they were floating on the water, which was really not easy to do.
How can such weak water float? Could it be that the ancients used any special method?
This must be explored, and if we encounter weak water again in the future, maybe we can find a way to get through.
Brother Long roughly looked at the direction, planned for us, and then went into the water together.
As soon as I entered the weak water, I immediately felt the water coiling around me, and the feeling was really different from ordinary water.
I walked backwards, and when Zhang Shihong walked forward, our hands were pulled, which was conducive to our message transmission.
At this time, Zhang Shihong nodded twice and signaled that we could ventilate.
I could feel that he was ready to pose, and we were both with our eyes closed, so I could only get a rough sense of his position and step on it.
Not to mention, this approximate position was enough, and I quickly stepped on his legs and hands, and was pushed upward.
With a light head, I felt like I was out of the water.
I immediately took a few big breaths, let myself change my breath, took a deep breath again, sank, and this time changed Zhang Shihong to go up.
When he came down, we continued to move forward, and I felt the constant signals coming from my hand, and we were still looking at the information on how far away we were from that Xuanwu.
When we were ventilating just now, we didn't even walk twenty meters, which is really enough.
If there is no way to ventilate, it will be difficult to do.
Fortunately, after changing a few breaths, a message came from Zhang Shihong's side, we are seven or eight meters away from Xuanwu's position, that is, seven or eight meters away, I responded, signaling us to wait and change our breath, and then go to Xuanwu.
This is also to prevent any problems from going up, and we can adjust it at any time.
After walking a few more steps, my back actually felt leaning against something, and I was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a stone wall.
I motioned for Zhang Shihong to ventilate, this time he came out of the water first, took a look, came back and let me breathe, and signaled that I had reached the edge of Xuanwu.
Only then did I realize that this Xuanwu did not float on this water, there was a pillar underneath, and now where we are is next to the pillar.
But it's useless to know these now, so let's go to Xuanwu and take a look at it first.
Zhang Shihong pushed me up first, I touched it up, but a hand grabbed my hand, and then pulled it up hard.
When I arrived at Xuanwu, I found that Brother Long and they were already here.
Not only are they here, but even Lu Xiaodan and Zhang Siqiao are faster than us.
I had no choice but to smile at them, and they pulled Zhang Shihong up again.
"Xiaowen, look at this thing, it's really well carved, it's like a real thing." Brother Long slapped that Xuanwu.
I just looked at this huge Xuanwu, it is really too big to carve, it is estimated that there is no problem at all with twenty or thirty people standing on this back.
Looking back at the snake head of the Xuanwu tail, I was suddenly stunned for a moment, the snake mouth was actually open.
