As I flaped anxiously on all fours, I was able to break free from the hand that had been holding me all the time, which made me feel even more helpless. Just as I was holding my breath to the point where I couldn't hold on, my wrist was grabbed and pulled upward, suddenly choking my momentum to continue sinking. I knew that the touch of the palm of my hand was Gu Xi, so I was relieved to let him drive it, and at the same time, my feet began to kick regularly, and I could feel my body constantly rising, and the moment I broke out of the water, I had the illusion of rebirth.

While gasping for breath while calming his heartbeat, he turned his eyes to look at Gu Xi, but he didn't breathe at all, but his eyebrows frowned and stared at me. Seeing me looking at him, he asked in a deep voice, "Why did you break free of me just now?" ”

Well, my mind was blank at that time, I didn't have any extra thoughts to think about anything else, everything was moving on instinct.

Directly ignoring his question, he looked around and found that this place was not dark, but there were lights floating around the water, and the light support was lotus leaves. It doesn't look like a candle, it's a black round cake with a lotus leaf, and then a wick is lit in the center of the circle. The ghostly light does not illuminate the entire space, at least it can keep people from being completely blind in total darkness.

Suddenly, I looked up and saw that the high point in the depths was dark, and the hole we had come down from had disappeared.

I was startled when a commotion came from the side, and instinctively turned my head when I heard the sound, only to see a person emerge five or six meters away from us. She fell before us, and came out two minutes late.

It was the first time I had seen her so embarrassed, her hair was on her face, and it was almost impossible to recognize that she was coming.

She looked over to us, and without saying anything, she swam with her back to her.

In the next moment, Gu Xi let go of my hand and chased after me like a swordfish, with an astonishing speed.

But after a short while, Cen Xi was clasped by his arm, but when he saw her looking back, he smiled slyly: "I knew you would come after me." "At the same time, I suddenly felt something around my ankle, and there was a force pulling me down.

"Gu Xi." I screamed, but the moment he turned around, I was out again.

Although I didn't grow up by the sea, I didn't have a bad sense of water, and when I was a child, I followed my father to the big river in the front village to pick up water and grass, and the bank of the river was very shallow, so I learned to swim when I was about five or six years old.

Just now, it was because of the instinctive fear of falling that I panicked when I suddenly fell into the water. At this time, my mind calmed down, even if I was pulled into the water, I was not too afraid, and I knew that Gu Xi would definitely come to rescue me immediately when he saw this scene. In just a few minutes, nothing will kill me, just do a good job of saving yourself before he arrives.

The glow of the water doesn't illuminate the bottom of the water, it feels like a strap is tied to my ankle, maybe an aquatic weed or something. But I'm not sure, I didn't move just now, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't have inadvertently rolled up the aquatic weeds.

And if it's not a water weed, and it doesn't look like a human hand, it's a bit embarrassing. Because there are many creatures underwater, it is very scary to think about animals except for plants.

Regardless, I held my breath and tried to bend down to untie the strap. But just as my hand was about to touch my ankle, a sudden external force was pulling down again, this time the force was even more violent than the previous time, directly dragging my person to the level, and even hanging upside down on my head and feet.

As soon as I was startled, I opened my mouth and took a sip of water, and because of the tilt of the human body, the water choked directly into my nasal passages. The discomfort of that moment cannot be described in words, and Gu Xi, who thought that he would come immediately, was not seen for a long time, and the time I could hold my breath was almost at the limit. I clearly felt that I was being dragged and moved in the water, and I was already very sure that it was not an aquatic weed, and the only thing that could move parallel in the water could be an animal, and there would be something that looked like a ribbon, and I only thought of jellyfish.

It has been dragged for more than ten meters, and Gu Xi has not yet come. Was he trapped by Cen Xi, or did he lose my trace after I went underwater, and I couldn't find it for a while?

The pain in his chest began to suffocate, and his mouth instinctively opened and a mouthful of water poured in, exacerbating the previous pain.

My hands gradually clenched, no matter how wide my open eyes were, I couldn't see a familiar figure appearing, and there was a voice sighing in the depths of my heart, in the end, it was still ......

###

Floating and calm on the water, he finally reached the shore, and there was no light in all directions. I climbed ashore and didn't rush to leave, wringing in the water on my trousers and clothes while quietly listening to the sounds around me.

Wipe the water from your face to calm yourself down.

This place is undoubtedly as I thought before, in a cave in the belly of the mountain, and it is not uncommon for there to be water in the mountain, but it is rare to have such a large deep pool in the belly of the mountain. But what I should be thinking about at the moment is not about this deep pool, but about where Gu Xi went? The bag I was carrying was gone, it must have been dropped underwater, so my phone and other belongings were gone. Subconsciously touched his neck, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the jade whistle was still there.

I rubbed the jade whistle with my fingertips for a moment and wanted to stuff it into my wet clothes, but when I looked down, I was stunned, and the jade whistle was faintly glowing. It's not that I haven't looked at this jade whistle carefully when I've been alone before, and I've rubbed my fingers over its surface like this more than once, but I've never seen it glow.

But when I saw that the light dimmed in a short moment, I rubbed my finger a few more times, and sure enough, it lit up again. Raising your eyes and looking at the deep pool in front of your feet, could it be related to this water?

There was no time to delve into the mystery of this, so he slipped the whistle into his clothes and got up.

At this time, it doesn't matter what the sense of direction is, there is a deep pool in front of me, and I can't go into the water again, so I can only walk the road behind me. After walking blindly for a while, my toes actually hit an obstacle, and I reached out and touched a stone wall in front of me.

It's already the end?

After walking along the stone wall left and then right, although there is no Gu Xi's ability to accurately measure the scale, it can be roughly estimated that it is about ten meters. The stone wall is uneven, and the basic tentacles used to be uneven and irregular, so they should not have been artificially processed. There was no way, so I had to walk back along the stone wall, in fact, when I first came, I felt that there was not only wind here, but also a change in wind direction.

But I am alone, and the road ahead is unknown, and the most important thing is that my vision is blocked, and there is no other way than to identify a path to go first. If someone asks me, am I scared at this time? I'd tell this guy to try it himself, and be in a completely dark space where you can't see your fingers. However, even deeper than the fear is loneliness, that deep chill loneliness that surpasses all else.

I can't suppress the longing for someone in my mind, and I desperately want to see him appear in front of me in the next moment, soothing the loneliness and fear in my heart. Letting go of these thoughts, I could feel that there was a fork on my left, that is, on the opposite side of the stone wall, which was the only fork in the road from the deep pool to the end, and it seemed that there was no choice.

In the end, I walked into it, and it was obvious that the sense of space in this place had become narrow, and the distance between the left and right was only two meters. The further you go in, the stronger the wind feels, and there must be an eye in it.

I paused and lost my breath when someone heard the voice.

It seems that there is no surprise in my heart, and I think it should be like this, otherwise where would this batch of people go? After listening to it for a while, I could tell that it was Xiaoyou's voice, but it might be far away, and the voice was very indistinct. But only He Zhixu was with her, so she must have been talking to him, but she heard her voice alone from beginning to end.

Thinking of what Cen Xi said when she was on the phone with her before, I don't know if it was true or deliberately spread to disturb our vision. There is no doubt that Cen Xi's original purpose was to pull us all here, and Xiaoyou and her are on the same line, so what she said may not be true. But no matter what, I've come here, and there's no way back, so I still have to move forward after all. After making a decision, he no longer intended to collect his breath, and only approached with light steps.

After more than ten steps, I paused again, for not only was there light in front of me, but I also saw a stone staircase winding downward. I can be sure that the light is coming from inside, but it seems that something is wrong, and it stands to reason that the voice should become clear when I get closer, but I still can't hear what Xiaoyu is saying, and it seems that the distance of the voice is no different from just now.

I knew it didn't make sense, but I walked down the stairs after a short pause.

At the end of the stairs, the staircase turns to the right, and a doorway about five or six meters wide catches the eye. And the space inside the door is what really struck me. First, after I walked to the doorway and looked around inward, I was sure that there was no one here. And Xiaoyou's voice was still faintly coming, still at a distance that he couldn't hear clearly; Secondly, there are many lights lit on the stone walls of this space, which are enough to illuminate the place. The things on the lampstand are like the black round cakes on the lotus leaves we saw when we fell into the water before, but the lampstand is no longer a lotus leaf, but an old black metal carved dragon, inlaid in the stone wall and stretched outward, and each lamp has a bead in its dragon mouth.

I'm not sure if that's the pearl of the night, because they're dim in the presence of light.
