Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Passage of the Dark River

After Zhang Tianye retracted his thoughts, he stood in front of these huge stone walls, and a cold wind came from the cracks in the stone walls, and the wind was mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, which smelled like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Smelling this smell, the three of them immediately thought of the fragrance of osmanthus in yesterday's illusion, and became nervous again, and at the same time, a series of footsteps and noises sounded outside the cave.

After hearing the footsteps outside, the three people hurriedly turned off the flashlights, Zhang Tianye signaled the two people not to move, and quietly walked to the entrance of the cave, through the gap, saw two strangers wandering outside the cave, as if they were still injured, walking up, some stumbling.

Now that there is no difference between friend and foe, Zhang Tianye does not dare to risk going out to rescue, because what happened during this period of time is subverting everyone's worldview, and the matter of 'Zang Hai Hidden Jade' has not yet had any substantive clues, and he is still being watched by those behind the scenes.

He didn't dare to make a decision easily, and at this time, the two people outside limped out of the vicinity of the cave with flashlights, and it was not until the back completely disappeared that Zhang Tianye walked back to Qi Xin and Dewey.

Dewey asked, "Zhang Shao, is it a person outside, or is it a ......?" When he asked this sentence, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, for fear that he would encounter something strange.

Zhang Tianye did not dwell too much on this matter, and chose to tell them the truth, in the current environment, it is indeed better to have more than one thing, it is not that he is too cold-blooded, but in this environment, the first thing to do is to save his life.

After this little turmoil just now, the three of them also relaxed a lot, after all, it is not a supernatural thing to be human.

Looking at this wall, Qi Xin finally asked the opinions of the two people: "Then should we push this wall away?"

Zhang Tianye looked at Dewey, because Qi Xin and the two of them already had the answer in their hearts, after this period of getting along, Dewey and the two of them also had a deep friendship, although they were not from the same place, but at this time Dewey still decided to stand up to Zhang Tianye, and more importantly, he himself wanted to make a mistake!

Dewey, nodded firmly, and the three of them began to clean the stones on the wall, and after the small stones were cleared, there were still a few large stones left in front of them, which had begun to weather.

Zhang Tianye put his hand on these large stones piled together, and after raising his hand, his hands were covered with layers of dust, from which Zhang Tianye could judge that this cave had been sealed for at least a hundred years, and these stones were no longer as hard as they were at the beginning.

Through the gap, Zhang Tianye could clearly see the road behind these big stones, and at the same time, the gusts of yin wind blowing from it were also mixed with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and finally the three people worked together to push the top stone away, and the space suddenly became larger, enough to accommodate one person to walk through.

Zhang Tianye carefully climbed onto the stone below, took out a flashlight and shone it inside, only to find that this dark passage seemed to have no end, and the sound of water droplets falling from the depths of the cave was heard, and the silence around was a little scary.

Zhang Tianye was not in a hurry to go in at that time, but jumped off the stone and said to the two people: "Monkey, Brother Du, if we go in at this time, we may still encounter danger, you think about it, this is not child's play, I don't want everyone to take risks for my business, if you choose not to go in now, tomorrow, we will leave immediately."

At this point, in the face of curiosity about things, even if they are full of fear, they can't help but want to take a look, especially when young people are at the age of strong blood, and they are very easy to be impulsive and moral, and they do things without regard for the future, so the two of them didn't say anything, and hammered Zhang Tianye's chest together.

To be honest, the punch of these two guys is really not light, but this weight is enough to prove the importance of this friendship between the three people, Dewey took out a cigarette from his pocket, and after giving each of them one, he was about to take the lead and walked inside, but was directly stopped by Zhang Tianye.

Dewey, who was confused, asked puzzledly: "Zhang Shao, don't you go in?"

Qi Xin was also confused about this matter, and looked at it with the same doubts as Dewey, Zhang Tianye said calmly: "It's not bad for a while, let's rest here first, tomorrow it's dawn, and then go in, if we encounter problems during the day, we can solve them."

Qi Xin and Dewey are both brave, but lack of strategy, and they don't have such a strong sense of observation for details, Zhang Tianye said this, and the two of them felt very reasonable, and before going to bed, the three of them covered the gap on the big stone at the entrance of the cave to avoid the invasion of poisonous insects.

Subsequently, the three of them huddled together, ready to sleep, especially Qi Xin, who was clean, sandwiched between the two people, and kept muttering about the sour smell on his body, in fact, it was no wonder that he had not rested well in the past few days, and the living environment was relatively difficult .......

Early the next morning, Qi Xin, who was sleeping in the middle, turned over in a daze, and found that Zhang Tianye, who was sleeping on the left, was gone, so he hurriedly turned over and called Dewey, and found that he didn't know where he went, and suddenly became anxious.

Qi Xin, after getting up, saw that the backpacks on the ground of the two people were gone, and there was a note on the ground, which read: "Thank you two brothers, you can go so far with me, this is my family affair in itself, I hope to find some clues here, but I really don't want to, you are following me on an adventure, after passing here, there should be no danger, after I go out, let's meet in the old place in Hualong County, don't enter."

Seeing this passage and handwriting, Qi Xin knew that it was left by Zhang Tianye, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "Finally went alone, it seems that this time, I really can't explain to Ye Xinxin."

What made Qi Xin wonder was that Zhang Tianye must have been the first to leave here and enter the passage, because the note mentioned Dewey and him were the two of them, but Dewey, after discovering this incident, why didn't he wake himself up, but chose to leave here alone?

Things came to this point, Qi Xin remembered all the things that had happened in the past two days, especially the story that Dewey told last night, alone, hurriedly packed up his things and entered the passage in the cave, because the most important thing was his good brother Zhang Tianye.

Last night, after Zhang Tianye watched the two of them fall asleep, just after the early hours of the morning, he carefully picked up his backpack and entered the passage, because he really didn't want to involve Qi Xin and Dewey, so he left the note before leaving.

After Zhang Tianye entered the cave, he took a flashlight and walked cautiously to the front, in this endless passage, he had already concluded that there must be an exit ahead, otherwise where would this gust of wind come from.

Sure enough, before he had gone far, Zhang Tianye found that the passage had become more spacious, the sound of falling water was clearer, the soil on both sides of the passage was also very wet, and there were many unknown mushrooms growing in different colors, which were very attractive.

Zhang Tianye didn't stop here, what he had to do now was to understand the situation as soon as possible, since someone guided him to come here, he must have wanted to tell himself something, or this was a conspiracy, and he couldn't let Qi Xin and Dewey follow him to take risks.

At this time, every step Zhang Tianye took, he could feel the mud on the ground, and he didn't go far, the mud under Zhang Tianye's feet turned into stagnant water, which was only ankle deep at first, but it was beyond Zhang Tianye's expectations, because the stagnant water had become a dark river, and the depth of this dark river was nearly one meter deep.

Standing next to the dark river, Zhang Tianye used a flashlight to look around carefully, and found that this section of the dark river is not very long, probably only about a hundred, because the opposite side of the dark river is already the road to the front.

After getting ready, Zhang Tianye took off his clothes, put his shoes and clothes in his backpack and held them above his head, and walked carefully step by step towards the river.

Zhang Tianye, who stepped on the riverbed with his feet on it, was as soft as stepping on cotton, which was comfortable, and there was no pain or discomfort.

This feeling made Zhang Tianye a little unable to understand what would be so soft under the river, after entering the dark river, the water surface began to stir up a circle of ripples, slowly under the soles of the feet this soft feeling, began to encircle the legs, the river surface from time to time there are some small black fish jumping out of the water, I don't know when a large number of toads appeared on the side of the dark river, croaking.

It is normal for there to be creatures in the dark river, after all, it is still on such an evil mountain, and at the same time, Zhang Tianye can feel more and more that this soft feeling is getting stronger and stronger, making him feel like he has fallen in, and he has to speed up his pace and walk forward like he is in front.

At this moment, his left foot was entangled in something, the whole person's center of gravity was unstable, and he choked on a mouthful of water, when this salif of water poured into Zhang Tianye's mouth, he almost didn't spit it out, because the taste of the river water and the osmanthus flower were like a withdrawal, so he could conclude that the osmanthus fragrance should come from here.

Zhang Tianye, who was in trouble, was less than ten meters away from the opposite shore at this time, after he stabilized his body, he threw the backpack to the opposite bank with all his strength, and the whole person dived into the river, after entering the water, Zhang Tianye's vision was greatly affected, and he saw in the blur that there was a black strip object, wrapped around his calf, and quickly bent over, tore off the strip black object, and quickly swam to the shore, just when he just touched the black strip object, Zhang Tianye found that it had a temperature!
