Chapter 107: The Dark River
At first, the entrance to the cave was only about half a person high, and it seemed that I couldn't get through, but when the weeds were cleared, the entrance of the cave suddenly became a hole for one person to pass.
The cave was dark, Wang Meng walked in front, I walked behind Wang Meng, and behind me were Liang Qiang and Jiang Shuai. At this time, the three of us obediently followed behind Wang Meng, breathing gently.
We usually have babbling temperaments, but at this time, as if we had made an agreement, as if in a solemn place, we moved forward slowly, not daring to say a word.
After walking along the black cave for about five or six minutes, I felt that the top of my head seemed to become open, and when I looked up, sure enough, the top of the cave, which was only more than one meter high, became almost three or five meters at this time, and I could still hear the sound of water coming from Lidang, could it be that there is a waterfall in this cave?
"It's not a waterfall, listen to this sound, there should be a dark river ahead, the water vapor is heavy, and the road may become slippery, everyone be careful. “
Wang Meng said in a low voice, the voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, and it reached our ears, sonorous and powerful.
It seems that Wang Meng is right to have mind reading skills, what I think in my heart He will know in the next second, I muttered in my heart, I was walking, and the sound of water in front of me was getting louder and louder.
At this time, the cave turned a bend like a sheep's intestine path, and after we turned around along the bend, sure enough, a dark river appeared in front of us.
Probably because there is no light in the cave all year round, we are shining a flashlight on the river, which looks clear but glows black.
"Is there something in this water, why does this water look black? Before I could speak, Jiang Shuai on the side spoke, it seems that this is not my illusion, the water is really black.
"From here, this dark river should have passed through the ancient tomb, and if you look carefully, there are silver light waves in this water, which should have mercury. “
As a college student, after careful observation at this time, I finally used the knowledge I had learned over the years to pretend for a while, and Wang Meng on the side also nodded and acquiesced to my statement.
It's not a strange thing that there is mercury in the tombs, I remember I don't know where I saw it, saying that some ancient princes and nobles would use living people to pour mercury into the top of their heads to make burial dolls.
So, although the water in the dark river looks crystal clear, there might be something in it, I thought as I reminded them to be careful.
The waters of this dark river are slender, the distance between the two banks is about two meters, and the bank is relatively wide, we have walked for so long, and we have brought some food with us, so we looked for a clean place to sit down, planning to eat something before leaving.
Just as I was looking for a rock to sit down, I felt a small sound behind me, like the sound of the wings of some insect rubbing against each other.
Puzzled, I turned my head to look, but this turn of my head almost frightened me, only to see that there may be thousands of dense beetles lying on the cave stone wall behind me, these beetles are all black, more than four or five times larger than the ordinary beetles outside.
They were one after the other, densely packed, and I was about to commit a dense phobia.
After seeing this scene, I was about to scream, because I was really scared, but Wang Meng pounced on me with sharp eyes and covered my mouth.
"Don't scream. Sure enough, the beetles that had just flapped their wings and were about to fly out of the city, after being quiet for a while, slowly flew back to the wall and lay quietly, turning black and gray, the same color as the cave wall, which is why we didn't find them when we first walked in.
"What are you doing covering my mouth. I was almost out of breath when Wang Meng covered my mouth, and looked at him suspiciously.
"This is the Black Beetle, the slightest sound will release a deadly corrosive venom, if I hadn't covered your mouth just now, if you had called out, the three of you would have turned into puddles of pus by now. “
Wang Meng stared at me with a serious expression, but every word he said made me afraid, is there such a terrible thing in this world?
The three of us were convinced of Wang Meng's words, and Jiang Shuai and Liang Qiang on the side patted their chests in fear after hearing this: "Fortunately, you didn't call out just now, if it weren't for Brother Wang Meng, we might all be fluttering now." “
"It's not like I didn't call it out, I was shocked. I glanced at Liang Qiang and Jiang Shuai, although I said so, but I was also afraid for a while.
Originally, the stone next to the wall was smooth and flat, and it was as unpleasant to sit up as a stool, but at this moment I also gave up the stone and pulled a few tissues with me to sit down under my buttocks, far away from the wall just now.
At this moment, the wall changed to its original state, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell what kind of black beetle was hiding on it.
"You eat first, and I'll go and find out. After Wang Meng glanced at us, the whole person turned into a white light and disappeared in front of us.
This kind of scene is already strange to people like me and Jiang Shuai who often see ghosts, and after hearing Wang Meng's words, we nodded as we said and continued to eat.
But Liang Qiang on the side was surprised, and looked at us with a pair of eyes open: "Oh my God, did he suddenly disappear?
It could be seen that Liang Qiang was indeed surprised, but he was not afraid, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the place where Wang Meng had just stood and left, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Huh~~ I must learn spells from Brother Wang Meng, this is too cool. ”
And Jiang Shuai and I looked at Liang Qiang like fools, this kind of technique, people say no, ordinary people are afraid that they can't learn it, right?
Forget it, don't dampen his enthusiasm for learning, see through it or not, Jiang Shuai and I looked at each other and smiled, shook our heads, and continued to eat.
Soon, Wang Meng came back again, the clothes on his body were still spotless, and he still looked like a casual boy.
"Later, let's go upstream from the dark river, and the ancient tomb is inside. ”
As soon as Wang Meng's words fell, Jiang Shuai said in surprise: "Isn't there mercury in this river?
"Big brother, this is a river containing mercury, not a river made of mercury, a little bit will be fine. I glanced at Jiang Shuai helplessly, hey, why is he so daring.
"Well, Xiao Xin said that I'm not afraid if it's okay. "I was still thinking about Jiang Shuai's timid timid just now, but when I heard Jiang Shuai's words, I suddenly felt a strange emotion in my heart.
What am I doing? I just disliked Jiang Shuai in my heart for being timid? Kunlun Mountain and his party were looking for the coffin mushroom this time, he was busy looking for it for me, and he was even injured in Kunlun Mountain.
This time, he accompanied me to the dangerous and unknown Linshui Mountain Ancient Tomb without hesitation, why should I dislike him?
He could have done everything for me, because he cared for me and did everything for me, he was with me unconditionally, believed in me, and ran for me, but I thought of him like that in my heart.
I really shouldn't have such thoughts, after realizing this, I looked at Jiang Shuai again, he still looked at me with a simple smile, and I could see that he believed in me unconditionally.
"You two wait for us here, and Wang Meng and I can go. "I know this = at this moment that although he is good to me, it is that he is willing to be good to me, not to take it for granted, and I cannot take it for granted that he is good to me.
I have a dad and he has parents and siblings, and I shouldn't let him accompany me on adventures, even if he wants to, I should think about him.
However, I obviously underestimated Jiang Shuai's concern about me, and when I finished saying this, Jiang Shuai immediately got up and shook his head: "No, I want to be with you, otherwise what if you want to have three long and two short, I'm not by your side, I'm not at ease." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it was expected by me, but I subconsciously looked at Wang Meng, and I saw that Wang Meng was also looking at me with a smile at the moment, and I knew that he was waiting for me to deal with this matter myself.
Wang Meng is not a person who likes to make trouble, but I know that I should handle this matter myself.
"Jiang Shuai, listen to me, with Wang Meng here, I am not in any danger, he often protects me, but you, you must pay attention to your own safety, you have accompanied me to so many places, I have not encountered any danger, don't worry." ”
Although I said this, I knew in my heart that saying this was not enough to make Jiang Shuai stop, but I had no other way at the moment but to say this first and see Jiang Shuai's reaction before making plans.
Sure enough, even though I said this, Jiang Shuai still said with a firm face that he wanted to be with me and worry about me.
I held my forehead, my heart was very entangled, I didn't know what to do, but at this time, Wang Meng spoke.
"Brother, I know you're worried about being careful, trust me, I'm good enough to protect her, and there's more important things to do for you to stay outside. ”
As he spoke, Wang Meng stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Shuai's shoulder, then beckoned to the two of them to say a word.
I don't know what Wang Meng said, sure enough, after listening to Wang Meng's words, Jiang Shuai came to me and patted me on the shoulder: "I believe in Brother Wang Meng, be careful." ”
I saw the worry in Jiang Shuai's eyes, and a warm current surged through my heart, so I immediately stretched out my hand and patted him on the shoulder, making a free and easy look: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
