One Thousand and Ninety-Three: Hanging Corpse
Lao Zuo stood up and slapped the upstream and downstream of the canal: "What about the surname Cheng?" ”
I was a little helpless: "That guy has good light body skills, and when I came down, he ran away." ”
"You say...... What did he want to do when he brought us here? ”
"It's hard to say......"
As I was talking, I heard a noise behind me, and all the people behind me came down in a hurry.
Lao Zuo took the light and shone it on them, and saw that everyone had a nervous expression.
It's really embarrassing for a few of them, they are so busy and hurried, they must be afraid that something will happen to me and Lao Zuo.
Seeing that we were both fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Houzai complained to me a little, and along the way, he reminded me to be careful twice with his eyes, but unfortunately I didn't listen, and still followed Cheng Laohan here.
He said that he gave me a look before, because he wanted me to attack Cheng Laohan halfway, first control him, and then ask him about the whereabouts of the Kankandao from his mouth, which is better than being led by the nose.
But in my eyes, the reason why Liang Houzai said this is because he still doesn't know enough about practicality.
Assuming that Cheng Laohan is indeed a practical person, then since Practical dares to put him in Luofu Mountain, it means that he is not afraid that we will catch Cheng Laohan, because even if you catch him, he will not say anything.
It's better to follow Cheng Laohan for a while, maybe you can find some clues.
Don't get me wrong, Liang Houzai and I didn't quarrel, but just calmly exchanged our opinions.
And this conversation didn't last too long before it was interrupted by Huang Yuzhong.
At that time, I was talking to Liang Houzai about this, Huang Yuzhong suddenly ran towards the downstream of the canal, his speed was very fast, and he ran like a gust of wind, I was suspicious, so I asked him what he found.
Huang Yuzhong responded while running: "Didn't you say that Kankan Daoist has a little apprentice?" ”
I asked him what he had found, but he mentioned Xiao Daogu, could it be that Xiao Daogu was near the canal?
For this little apprentice of Kankan Daoren, I really like it from the bottom of my heart, this child is very playful, but also simple and kind, and the small face is fleshy, and it is also tender, and I like it when I see it.
At this time, hearing Huang Yuzhong say this, I immediately became a little nervous, thinking that Xiaodao Gu should not have an accident, so I also spread out and chased after him.
Not long after running, I saw a child's jacket about 500 meters ahead, although the ghost eye could not see the color of the jacket, but I could roughly see that it was still new, but it was stained with water vapor and became wet.
I came to the little padded jacket before Huang Yuzhong and picked it up and looked at it carefully.
The style of this dress is similar to the Taoist dress that Xiao Daogu used to wear, but it is thickened to keep out the cold, the left sleeve of the dress is completely stone, and there are blood stains on the corners of the clothes.
It's just that it's still unclear whether this blood is Xiao Daogu's or someone else's.
Huang Yuzhong swept the flashlight on his jacket: "Is it the child?" ”
"Eighty percent is, how do you see it?"
"There was a very faint light on the dress, as if it had been sprinkled with phosphor. However, the light was very faint, and it took me a lot of effort to make sure that there was something in this place. ”
As he spoke, Huang Yuzhong turned off the flashlight, and I found that there was indeed a very faint dark light emitted from the padded jacket, if it wasn't so close, my naked eyes wouldn't have been able to detect such a weak light.
Why did Xiao Daogu's jacket be left here, and there was still a faint fluorescent powder on it.
With this in mind, I picked up my flashlight and hit the beam on the bank of the canal.
The water here seems to flow a little slower, and the nearby banks seem to be splashed with water, which is unusually wet.
At this time, Lao Zuo also came over with someone, and I shook the flashlight and let the beam sweep back and forth on the water twice: "I suspect that there may be a waterway underneath here." ”
Lao Zuo frowned: "What's the matter, do you want to dive down and take a look?" ”
I shook my head: "I'll keep an eye here, you guys walk along the canal and observe the environment around the canal...... Find the source and the end where you want to find it. ”
Lao Zuo is a cool person, he didn't say a word, and immediately let everyone act separately, a group of people went upstream to check, and a group of people went downstream.
Only Liang Houzai asked me before leaving: "Are you really planning to dive?" ”
I just waved my hand and was noncommittal.
Whether to go down or not to make a decision after the structure of the canal has been figured out.
It didn't take long for Lao Zuo and them to come back, and they walked back and forth along the canal, and found that the canal bank was only two kilometers long, and the upstream and downstream ends were solid rock formations, which completely blocked the dry road, and only opened a square hole near the channel to allow the water to flow normally.
So I made the decision on the spot – to dive underwater.
There are no dry roads on either side of the canal bank, where else can Cheng Laohan go? He was able to disappear, and he must have taken the waterway.
I didn't hear his footsteps when I came down, and he should have been in the water by then.
Liu Shangang's backpack is a treasure chest, he has prepared waterproof glasses and underwater searchlights in the morning, and also prepared some rubber bags with excellent waterproofness.
I put down my backpack and put the Netherworld Treasure and the magic weapons such as Hanya, Bagua Qian, and Chen Mi in a waterproof bag, and then went into the water with a searchlight.
The width of the canal is about three meters, but because of the heavy color in the water, I can't tell how deep the bottom of the canal is, until I dive into the water and take a searchlight to shine it, I know that this is not a canal at all, it is simply an underwater abyss with a width of only more than three meters.
After the beam traveled a distance of almost ten meters in the water, there was no power to continue downward, so I only knew that from the bottom to the surface, there was at least three stories in height.
I shook my searchlight and looked around, and found a round hole in the wall of the canal in front of me, which was about two meters wide and easy to pass.
Then I swam to the entrance of the cave, first to shoot the light inside, and then tilt the searchlight, so that the beam shone diagonally above the hole, as expected, the beam extended forward about seven or eight meters, and cast a huge spot of light, indicating that the position was the surface of the water.
Holding my breath, I quickly swam back to the surface and beckoned the others to get into the water.
Lao Zuo asked me what was going on underwater.
I told the truth: "The green particles that melt in the water should have the effect of blocking the Qi field, and after I go down, the ghost eye will not be useful." The canal is very deep, and there is a hole in the wall of the canal, and after entering, you can drill out of the water by diagonally seven or eight meters upstream. Everyone holds their breath a little more, and if they encounter problems on the way, they can save their lives with more than half a breath, and they will die if they take less than half a breath. ”
Li Huaishan was happy with me: "They are all veterans, there is no need to ask for this kind of thing." ”
It's because everyone is a veteran that I'm afraid that everyone will take it lightly, after all, it's underwater, and the more careful, the more chance to save your life.
What if it's really in danger?
Liu Shangang was handing out diving goggles to others, so I left the canal bank and dived into the water again.
When I was shining the light above the entrance of the cave just now, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be some shadows around the beam, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it seemed to be all human figures, and I felt that it was not a taste, so I took a step down to take a look.
As I swam into the hole, I held a searchlight and looked around.
Under the illumination of the light, pitch-black figures appeared in front of them, all of them corpses hanging upside down in the water with iron chains.
I can't tell how long these corpses have been there, but in appearance, they are not much different from living people, except that their bodies have turned into oily iron black, and there are no signs of decay on their bodies, and their flesh is very full, but they are not swollen from being soaked for many years.
I deliberately swam towards one of the corpses, carefully glancing at its body and face, to see how the man had died.
But as the beam of light moved down his neck, and was about to shine directly on his eyelids, the corpse suddenly shuddered, and then opened its eyelids.
Alive!
Since its hands and feet were bound with chains, I was not afraid that it would be against me, but I was a little further away from it, still holding a searchlight and carefully examining the details of its body.
At this time, Lao Zuo and the others also sneaked down, and when Lao Zuo passed by me, he also stopped and glanced at the corpse.
I pointed in the direction of the water and motioned for the others to go up first, only Lao Zuo stayed.
Lao Zuo took out the green steel sword and made a cut in the corpse's arm, and immediately a large amount of black blood gushed out along the wound.
The blood was probably poisonous, and as soon as Lao Zuo saw the blood mist spreading along the water, he immediately swung his limbs and swam towards the water.
I didn't delay any longer, and reflexively chased after him.
After drilling out of the water, there is an isolated island of about 100 square meters in front of you, and there is a dry road spliced together with large stone piles on the opposite side of the island, which is very long, and I don't know where it leads.
As soon as my front foot landed on the shore, Lao Zuo yelled at me: "Quick, get the corpse just now, I'll study it." ”
"Why don't you go yourself?"
"The corpse's blood is black, it must contain poison, and I don't have the anti-poison ability of you. Don't be verbose, go! ”
I sighed helplessly, turned back, and dragged the corpse, along with the chains that had held it down. The movement was so great that the chain tied to the corpse's ankle touched another corpse, which immediately opened its eyes and writhed violently.
When I was in the water, I didn't feel the slightest corpse qi, but when the corpse came ashore, there was an extremely manic corpse gas in the air, and I don't know if it was my delusion, this corpse qi was mixed with a neutral and mellow yang qi.
I asked Lao Zuo: "Is this still an evil corpse?" ”
Lao Zuo glanced at me: "The corpse qi is so heavy, of course it is an evil corpse." ”
