As soon as I said this, Shen Jingyun's face immediately changed.

It was the first time I saw Shen Jingyun's shocked expression, he muttered to himself, muttering in a low voice I didn't hear clearly, only heard a few vague words, "Isn't she dead......?"

Why didn't she die? Who is she referring to? Wang Yun?

My emotions were also affected by Shen Jingyun's emotions, and as his emotions became suspicious, I couldn't help but ask Shen Jingyun, "What are you talking about?" Who is she? Who didn't die? ”

Hearing me ask, Shen Jingyun's expression suddenly softened, and he said to me: "Xiaoshuang, don't be too nervous, I didn't say who didn't die, I mean that your spiritual sense is better than mine, maybe you really feel something, maybe there is really a power......"

Speaking of this, I thought Shen Jingyun wanted to say something, but he was silent for a moment, and then stopped the boat in silence and said to me: "I don't know what that mysterious power is?" But in this environment, nothing can be possible, it must be determined. So, let's do an experiment. ”

Trial? I didn't understand what Shen Jingyun was going to do, but he took a deep breath at this time, hesitated slightly, and then decisively picked up the map that Wang Yun had left behind that had been placed on the bow of the boat and illuminated it with a light, closed it with a "snap", and then walked over and handed it to me.

I took the map that Shen Jingyun gave me a little stupidly, and I didn't understand what Shen Jingyun was going to do in this series of actions after hearing my words? Shen Jingyun didn't wait for me to ask him, so he said to me: "I have always had doubts about why Wang Yun left such a map. If she really remembered such a complicated waterway, what did she need to draw it? And the first time you enter this waterway, Xiaoshuang, let's not say that Wang Yun is an ordinary person, let's just say that we ourselves are cultivators, can you draw it? If you don't have the opportunity to look down from above, it's very difficult to draw this map in such detail, like a real map, if it were you, you really want to record the road here, what do you think is the easiest way? ”

Shen Jingyun's idea, these questions are so strange, I subconsciously replied: "I probably won't draw such a complicated map, I should be able to use numbers to record, just which hole to enter, so that the map will not be leaked, and others will not understand what it means, if Wang Yun wants to keep it secret, I think this method is more secure." ”

"Yes, that's it, I've always been puzzled, but I can't think of an answer. If there's a mysterious force, I'm guessing a little now, and I'm going to have to make sure it exists. ”

"So what?"

"So I decided to just drive the boat like this, without looking at the map, and just drive it at will."

"Are you crazy, Shen Jingyun?" I couldn't help but want to refuse Shen Jingyun's adventure: "I don't know how complicated the waterway situation here is, if we drive the wrong way, there is no way to come back, you said that it is impossible to remember the waterway here just once, and the terrain here is complicated, it is also difficult to turn around, who knows what danger there will be?" ”

I'm referring to the rapids, reefs, and even strandings in the water, because I think the path that Wang Yun recorded should be a relatively safe one.

But Shen Jingyun didn't mean to change his mind, and said to me: "Since you said that there is a mysterious force pulling us, then even if we don't look at the map, we will definitely go to the right path." ”

After speaking, Shen Jingyun quickly walked to the front of the boat and said to me: "I don't know how many holes there are in front of me, I decided to drive freely for three intersections, which should be able to detect whether this matter is our illusion or whether there is really a force." Three intersections should not be considered a coincidence. ”

Since Shen Jingyun has already said this, I no longer object, since I have gone out to adventure with him, I have long been prepared to live and die together, but I don't understand why Shen Jingyun is so persistent in trying to prove this.

In silence, the boat continued to move forward, and soon we encountered the fork of the river again, and Shen Jingyun quickly chose one and drove over.

I was slightly worried in my heart, so I simply closed my eyes and didn't look at it, until the third time I finally encountered a fork, there were seven forks, and Shen Jingyun rushed over without thinking about it, and walked about fifty meters before stopping.

"Xiaoshuang, the three forks we have traveled along the way, there are a total of seventeen branches, and the probability of all being correct is very small, you can compare it with the map, I still remember which forks I chose."

Shen Jingyun's serious expression made me a little nervous, but I still took out the map left by Wang Yun and compared it carefully.

Shen Jingyun cooperated beside him about the fork in the road he chose, sure enough, there was nothing wrong with everything, I don't know what expression to show, because I don't know what the coincidence of this matter means?

I wanted to get an answer from Shen Jingyun's mouth, or something from his expression, but except for a little out of control just now, he had completely calmed down at this time, and just said with a slight seriousness: "Let's go, since it has been proved that there is this mysterious power, we still have to go to the queen's tomb." ”

That's right, Shen Jingyun and I have no way out, we will be cursed by absorbing life force, just like a pair of invisible hands pushing us forward.

Due to the inexplicable discovery of a mysterious power, the atmosphere became a little heavier, except for stopping to eat something halfway, Shen Jingyun and I had no interest in talking, only knew how to move forward. And the length of this underground river seems to be beyond our imagination, after seven hours of driving, there is no intention of reaching the end, and gradually, the boat has reached the limit, because the depth of the current is too shallow, can no longer move forward, if it runs aground, it will be a problem for me and Shen Jingyun to go back.

Because we can't guarantee that we will find another way out of that lake.

Looking at the dark and dreary entrance of the cave, I looked at Shen Jingyun and asked helplessly, "What should I do?" ”

Shen Jingyun silently packed up on the boat, probably some dry food and auxiliary tools, and solemnly stepped on a yellow cloth bag, then took a lighter bag and handed it to me, and said, "The boat will stop here, and then we will leave by ourselves." Don't be afraid of getting lost, that's at least good news, right? ”

When Shen Jingyun said this, I couldn't laugh, but silently took the backpack that Shen Jingyun handed me, as well as the shoes and clothes he handed me that were easy to climb.

Wordlessly, I put on my backpack, and I got off the boat with Shen Jingyun, and at the beginning of getting off the boat, it was still very wet along the way.

In the middle is the current, but as you move forward, the current becomes shallower and shallower until it dries up.

Shen Jingyun observed it and found that these currents did not dry up normally, but entered deeper underground, which means that the lake where the queen was buried was connected to this underground river and a deeper underground river. I don't think this kind of discovery is important, but I don't understand why Shen Jingyun investigated very carefully along the way.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, I was almost feeling depressed in the dark, and when I couldn't stand it anymore, we finally came to an upward slope. It's not an easy road, but there is an upward slope, which means you should be almost at your destination, right?

I felt a new impetus in my heart, and God knows that the darkness and oppression of the earth have almost reached the limit of my patience.

I was about to move forward, but Shen Jingyun grabbed me and said to me, "Let's spend the night here today, let's not go up yet." ”

"Why?" I don't understand, time is so precious, Shen Jingyun has to spend the night in this dark underground.

But Shen Jingyun said to me: "I don't know what danger will happen above, I think I have to deal with it in the best state, do you know what time it is?" It's already three o'clock in the morning, so it's better for us to spend the night here. ”

There was a kind of insistence in Shen Jingyun's tone that could not be refused, what I wanted to say, after all, I still chose to approve, although I felt in my heart that it might be better to spend the night on the ground.

However, Shen Jingyun's ability to survive in the wild is still very good, and soon, he walked to a relatively comfortable place, quickly arranged everything, and when the kerosene stove was lit, my heart finally calmed down.

In such a dark underground, I especially miss the warmth and light brought by the flames.

Shen Jingyun was boiling hot water, sandwiched in the pot of the kerosene stove, and cooking some convenient food, I lazily leaned on a big stone, but Shen Jingyun came over and gently helped me take off my shoes.

"What are you going to do?" I glanced at Shen Jingyun puzzled.

He silently took off my socks, took out a needle, carefully removed the blood blisters on my feet, and then patiently medicated me.

"Walking for hours under this rocky underground, even with the protection of shoes, blisters will get on your feet. It's important to survive in the wild, and especially not to get hurt, you know? ”

After speaking, Shen Jingyun began to carefully deal with the blisters on my feet for me, and the movements were very gentle, and I looked at the side face of this man, and suddenly felt that as long as I was with him, this oppressive underground was nothing.

A warmth of sharing weal and woe overflowed my heart.
