235. Underwater
Gu Xi didn't stay long, and Mei Gu must have left other traces here.
But after searching all the way, not only did he not find Mei Jiugu, but he thought that there was no trace of Yu in this space. Suddenly, it was as if we had stepped into a psychedelic space again, it was dark, weird, and dangerous, and it was no safer than the previous Tiangang Illusion Array.
We've been walking around this huge space for a long time, but we haven't found a way out. We didn't eat or drink for about two days and two nights, and the few drops of stone spring that we thought we had drunk in the stalactite cave were also confirmed to be hallucinations, so our lips were dry and cracked.
Following the sound of the water, I soon found a stream, and the water was not deep enough to reach the calf.
Although the water was very clear and thirsty, he was not in a hurry to get water to drink, and after Gu Xi carefully investigated, he took a sip before holding the water in his hand. Finally, I really tasted the sweetness of the mountain spring, and the stalactite dripping water droplets, but that drop by drop could not quench the thirst at all, where was it refreshing to drink like this.
It's a pity that I don't have a bottle or anything around, otherwise I would have filled it with water in case of trouble.
I had no food but water to satisfy my hunger, and after drinking my fill, I looked up and found that Gu Xi was not like me, but stood by the stream and stared at the water and thought about something. The stream was cool, and the irritability in my chest before gradually calmed down, and I couldn't help but think deeply.
This place should still be in the belly of the cliff, the stream water gurgling represents the living water, and there is also a long river under the cliff, I don't know that this water is connected with that. If so, then it proves that going with the flow is likely to find a way out.
The water is not deep, so there should be no problem in crossing the water.
But when I brought it up, Gu Xi was still immersed in his thoughts as if he hadn't heard it, and he stood still without saying a word.
A little apprehensive, he rarely does this. Upon closer inspection, he didn't notice anything unusual, so I couldn't help but walk up to him and push him, and he quickly turned his eyes sideways to look at me, and his eyes were incomprehensible.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking? ”
"The water is sweet." He said suddenly, and I was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what he meant: "So what? Isn't it just to praise the sweetness of the stream, but sure enough, he said, "It's the same as what we tasted in the illusion." ”
He also feels similar? I said, "Maybe it's the water quality in this area, so the sweetness of the water is similar." ”
But seeing him shake his head and deny: "It's not similar, it's the same." ”
I wondered why he was so obsessed with the water. Didn't you drink it after checking that there was no problem? Without waiting for me to ask any more questions, he added, "And I've tasted the water at the bottom of the cliff, not like that." ”
Vaguely aware that what he was trying to express wasn't what I was thinking, "Is there anything wrong with that?" ”
He froze at me, and his voice swept through his ears: "I originally judged that the stone chambers, murals, and stone plates were created in your mind because we had been to Brin Town, and then all of them were illusory derived from the illusions, but now that you drink the same taste of water, it seems that something needs to be re-judged." ”
What does he mean? Does it mean that the stalactite cave and the big dog of chaos in the back are not fake, but have really been to or seen it? This stalactite cave is still possible, that chaos dog is an ancient beast, how can it really be seen?
But he laughed at my questioning and rejected my argument: "On the other hand, if you have not been here and drunk this water, how can you make this taste live in illusions?" ”
I was sure that it was my first time in Yunnan, and when I asked him if he had ever been there, he shook his head. So after thinking about it, I think it's possible that the water source here has been developed, or maybe it's the taste of some kind of mineral water, and even if you don't have the sweetness of such pure water in your mouth, your memory will retain your impression, so you can have the illusion of tasting the taste of water droplets in the illusion.
Gu Xi was noncommittal, did not continue to dwell on this matter, and agreed to my proposal to walk along the stream. But he did not go into the water, but walked on the convex rocks at the edge of the stream and the stone wall. Some of the convex stones are still flat at the footholds, but some are obliquely convex on the stone wall, and I asked myself if I had the strength to walk on them, so I had to roll up my trousers and lift my shoes into the water.
It was very pleasant to enter the water, so we walked in the water on the "shore" and the other walked in the water, very close, but I just didn't understand why he didn't go into the water and walked, but had to go to the pothole.
It's not like you're afraid of water, is it? Obviously not, they all dived into the bottom of the river with Dao Fei to get moss before.
He couldn't help but ask, he was silent for two seconds and then threw an answer: "I don't like bugs." ”
I paused: "What bugs?" Is there a worm in this water? "As far as I know, there may be leeches and the like in the water, and if you are bitten by this worm, you will immediately swell up in a big bag. I can't help but feel chills when I think of this, but I ...... I glanced at him and blurted out, "Are you also afraid of leeches in the water?" ”
Gu Xi grabbed a raised stone with his hand and paused, lowered his eyes and emphasized to me: "It's not that I'm afraid, but I don't like it." And I'm not talking about leeches, but Gu worms. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "How can there be Gu in the water?" ”
"Gu people walk through it, and it will naturally be there."
Gu Ren ......, "You said Mei Jiugu?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, "Do you know any other Gu people besides her?" "I don't know, what I saw with my own eyes is just such a one, before Aunt Mei died in front, then I guessed that Aunt Mei Jiugu would also appear, so what Gu Xi meant was that she also went into the water and left from here? That...... Then even if you go into the water and leave, there will be no Gu in the water.
His mind was racing like this, but his heart was very bottomless, especially when he heard him say slowly: "The poison of Gu people lies in qi, and when it encounters water, it is born, and it is attached to temperature." ”
My scalp was a little numb, "Are you saying that the poisonous gas on her body will turn into a Gu worm when it meets water?" ”
Gu Xi replied: "You forgot that I also said a word." ”
"Pick the temperature and attach it?" Choosing the temperature and attaching it doesn't mean that after drinking the water into the stomach, it will become a worm, and suddenly I have a feeling of nausea, if the water in the stomach is still clanging, if there are worms in it......
And Gu Xi was still talking about cool words: "Actually, it's okay, Gu won't do any damage to you anymore, at most it's just insect corpses." ”
"Gross!" I couldn't help but vomit anymore, and I vomited all the way until the bile was about to come out, and finally I climbed onto the shore with tears in my eyes and feet, and I didn't dare to go into the water anymore.
Secretly annoyed that he didn't tell himself in advance, especially after drinking a stomach of water, she didn't dare to look at it when she vomited just now, but she also noticed that there was something black in the vomit, and she knew that he probably didn't lie to me. It was not easy to walk on this convex rock, especially since the stone was close to the surface of the water and had slippery moss, and I almost fell into the water after a few slips.
Gu Xi, who was walking in front suddenly, stopped, looked back at me and said, "You go ahead." ”
Without thinking about it, he refused: "I don't go into the water, just in the back." However, in the next moment, he felt a tug of his wrist, and his body spun in a semicircle outside of him, and finally landed in front of him. As soon as the palm on my wrist loosened and fell to my waist, I looked down and pouted my lips not quite understanding him, because the thought of those things in my stomach just now made me feel evil.
Facts have proved that Gu Xi's decision was correct, because the further he went, he found that the stream was no longer a stream, and it had become deep and difficult to distinguish from the original clear bottom. Thankfully, I chose to go ashore and take this difficult path, otherwise I am afraid that the water would have gone over my people by this time.
Just as I was secretly surprised and suddenly held my palm around my waist, I immediately realized that the person behind me had noticed something, but there was silence all around, and even the water flowed here became no longer turbulent, only a thin sound.
Water sound?! What is there in the water that reverses this natural routine when it is swimming downstream, but now it is swimming upstream?
I wanted Gu Xi to shine the flashlight on the water surface to see what the clues were, but I suddenly felt that my waist was empty, followed by a pop from behind, and I turned around in shock, where was Gu Xi's figure, he actually plunged into the water! And the flashlight was gone, and suddenly it was dark again.
I said I didn't like this water before, but when it came to a critical time, I went down to explore faster than anyone else. Not to mention that he felt abnormal, I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this underwater, and I was waiting for him to inquire about it, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see him come out of the water. My heart sank, what could have happened underwater, right?
I waited a few more moments, and for ten minutes, I couldn't wait any longer.
Ignoring the previous thought of resolutely not going into the water, he gritted his teeth and jumped into the water. After entering the water, there was a chill directly in the spirit, why did the water temperature suddenly become so low? Before, I just felt cold, but now the cold seeped in, and I didn't have time to think about the reason, so I took a deep breath out of the water and dived into the water.
Because there is no light, it is even darker underwater. But as I sank further down, I found that the two pieces of jade in the collar of my neck were shining, and the luminosity was getting brighter and brighter, not enough to illuminate the entire underwater, but it could also allow me to see clearly within an inch.
Thanks to these two pieces of jade, it would have been impossible for me to find Gu Xi immediately even if I had dived to the bottom, and Gu Xi's condition shocked me. I didn't expect him to fall under the water, I didn't dare to think about whether he could still breathe after such a long time, but grabbed his arm and wanted to drag him up. But after dragging it, he found that it was so heavy, and he couldn't move at all.
