Chapter 258: Dark River Water Dragon

Hearing Xiaolan's voice, several of us were shocked for no reason, and Huang Ying was also with her, and immediately I ran up with torches and flashlights.

After running for dozens of meters, I saw a big rock lying across the cave road, and Xiaolan and Huang Ying were sitting on the rock, and Xiaolan was shining a flashlight on us. The only sound of rushing water can be heard around, and bats sometimes flutter their wings and fly by.

saw Huang Ying sitting on the rocks trembling all over, and Xiaolan was also frightened, staring at us with trembling lips: "Is it Brother Fang, Brother Yang?" ”

"Xiaolan, Huang Ying!" Lao Yang stepped forward, "It's me and Mr. Fang!" What are you doing, what's going on? See you guys scared like this? ”

"There are monsters!" I heard Xiaolan shout, "Just now, it flew over our heads, with wings!" And the tail is very long, I thought it was a mouse that could only fly, but it turned out to be ......"

"As a result, we saw the head of the monster, and it turned out to have a human face!" Huang Ying took it, her teeth chattering, "I thought we were going to be eaten and die, but the monster flew away from here......"

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened, and they heard Ye Jiaoyi tremble and say, "How long will it take to see the light!" This trip, the excitement is too exciting, but I'm really afraid of dying! It's like walking through the darkness all the time, it's like a nightmare, a dream that can't wake up at all, people are in dreams, dreams are in caves, they have to be out of breath! Hanging City, Hanging City, how beautiful and magnificent are you to make so many sinister and terrifying things out in front of your city gates! ”

Everyone sighed, since climbing this steamed bun cliff, it has been nine deaths, and now when I heard Huang Ying's words, there was still a terrifying monster flying overhead!

Huang Ying and Xiaolan immediately walked down, Yang Tiancong and Ouyang asked Huang Ying with concern, and I walked to Xiaolan with the giant sword in my hand, and I didn't see him for many days. Xiaolan still revealed a burst of clever and simple grace and dignity, and when she saw me coming, she smiled shyly: "Brother Fang! ”

I nodded and said, "Xiaolan, why are you here?" ”

"I came by train from Shanghai, specifically to find you and Brother Yang, I only remember that I arrived in Panzhihua, I don't know everything behind, I don't know how to come to this cave, after seeing Sister Huang Ying, I suddenly came to my senses. I was so scared that I almost fainted, so I wasn't dreaming! When Xiaolan said this, she was already in tears.

"I also felt like I was dreaming, and I got up in a daze, I don't know how I got here, anyway, when I opened my eyes, I saw Xiaolan." Huang Ying was still afraid, "I woke up." Thinking that you were all gone, leaving me alone, I was just about to shout when the human-faced monster flew over my head. Luckily, Xiaolan covered my mouth, and if I screamed, the monster would probably fly over and eat us, woo-woo-woo......" Huang Ying said. There was a burst of sobbing, and he fell into Yang Tiancong's arms and kept beating his chest.

I shook my head lightly and raised my unsheathed sword. pointed directly at poor Xiaolan, and shouted: "Xiaolan, at this juncture, you still have to turn things upside down in front of us, pretending to be abducted!" In the mountain village and the city, it's okay for you to continue to fool us, but now you are in this ghost cave infested by strange ends, you have fallen from the sky inexplicably, and you are still treating us as fools? Are you trying to harm us all? To cost all of us our lives? Or do you have some other ulterior motives?! ”

Xiaolan Dou's big tears rolled down: "Brother Fang, I came here from Shanghai, and I really came to find you, but how did I appear here, I really don't know, don't you really believe Xiaolan?" What did Xiaolan do wrong, to make you so disgusted! If you really think I'm a ghost, you can kill me, you can draw your sword and kill me, anyway, I'm a girl that no one loves and no one loves......"

She cried loudly, and the mournful voice was very embarrassing, lingering in this cave, but it also made people feel cold.

"Mr. Fang, maybe, this girl is indeed sleepwalking, no one can tell, what's more, no matter how you say it, it is estimated that my Yang family harmed her......" Yang Tiancong comforted Huang Ying, and came over to comfort Xiaolan, "Or, let her follow us first, and then figure everything out of this cave." ”

"Sleepwalking?" I stared at Xiaolan and sneered, "This road is high and long, with overhanging cliffs, she said that she sleepwalked, I will believe it, but outside this cave, there are walking corpses full of people who want to devour people, how can she sleepwalk?" How did she open the door of this cave? Lao Yang, this road is already extremely dangerous, how can we raise tigers again? Since I met her here, I will make a decision today, and everything will be turned upside down, otherwise, there will be many strange things along the way! Speaking of this, I looked at Xiaolan again: "Xiaolan, it's not that Brother Fang doesn't believe you, but that you have followed me for many days, and all kinds of strange signs on your body are confusing, what is your identity and origin, I don't want to figure it out, I just ask, if you still treat me as your Big Brother Fang, you tell me: What are you going to do, what are you doing, are you hurting nature, seeking money and killing people, or are you just for personal and personal affairs?" ”

If she really has some ulterior motive for saying this, I believe that she understands what I mean, I am actually euphemistically admonishing and influencing her, and protecting her - according to Yang Guifei's ghost, this Xiaolan is only afraid that she is a member of the Tianting Sect, and has been doing some sneaky things behind my back and Lao Yang. But if she was really from the Heavenly Hearing Sect, I wouldn't and wouldn't dare to reveal her identity - if the truth was revealed, she would also take out a bottle of liquid, and as soon as she drank it, she would have died of blood, which would be really wronged.

Seeing that Xiaolan stopped crying, but stared at me and said nothing, I added: "If you really want to hurt the heavens and reason and go against the sky, then you can only blame you for not knowing you Brother Fang, Brother Fang just can't allow these things to happen under his nose." And if you do it for your own personal things, for money and wealth, I will laugh it off. You've known Brother Fang for so long, Brother Fang is a reasonable person! ”

Lao Yang should be the first time to see me so straining and intimidating girls, but he also knows that Xiaolan has many ulterior secrets, so he also stares at Xiaolan. At this juncture, it was Ouyang who gave full play to her ability to teach and interrogate as a criminal policeman: "Xiaolan, listen to my sister's words, everything you do is in the eyes of your eldest brother Fang and eldest brother Yang, but the reason why they have never broken it to you before." Ben also wants to give you a chance to say it yourself, after all, everyone is a relative and a friend, what can't you say well? At this juncture, you appeared here so mysteriously before us, which aroused all of our suspicions, and combined with some of your previous events, we already have sufficient evidence that you have acted differently and affected our personal safety. Everyone put themselves in their shoes, your eldest brother Fang asked you to make it clear, and it is also a last resort, you see? ”

I heard Xiaolan sigh for a while: "Okay, I just want to come and find someone to get my things back." ”

"Looking for someone?" Yang Tiancong and I looked at each other, "Come to this Hanging City to find someone?" Who to look for? ”

Xiaolan stopped talking, stood alone to the side, and listened to her say again for a long time: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

I looked at each other. There was a moment of confusion. But anyway, she also said her purpose, albeit vaguely. I looked at the time, and it was four o'clock in the morning. Some of my methods can still be summoned, so let's get out of this cave as soon as possible! Always walking through this dark cave, even if you have the means, you can't take care of all the dooms.

Xiaolan appeared beside us at this moment. Once she appeared in this cave with a serious "sleepwalking disorder", she also caused Huang Ying to sleepwalk, all of which was cause and effect. It is estimated that there is a deeper layer, but as Lao Yang said, let's talk about it when I get out of this cave.

After walking forward for a while, I heard the sound of water flowing in front of me, and my heart moved, if this Xiaolan is really a person from the Tianting Sect, it is estimated that she will also have the idea of this earth pearl on my body...... What's the matter, if there are any more long and two short things on the road ahead, if I put down my backpack for convenience, but someone steals the beads from my backpack? Thinking of this, I took the bead out of my backpack, and the dazzling light cut through the darkness, attracting everyone's attention, and I hid the bead in my inner clothes.

After walking for another hundred meters, we saw a dark river in front of us, which was like a kitchen knife, cutting the cave into two pieces like slicing bread. The river is about two zhang wide, and the water flows from west to east, and I don't know where the river comes from or where it flows, but the water flows very quickly. Probably because of the river, it's colder and damper than the rest of the cave, and of course, the air is fresher.

To reach the cave on the opposite bank, it is necessary to cross the river, but the problem is that there are neither bridges nor chains on the river. If there is a river, we may also be able to explore the way up and down the riverbank, but at the moment, there is only this cave, and when we step out of the cave, there is the river below.

Lao Yang threw a stone into the river, and it took him a long time to see it bubbling, and said, "At least ten meters deep!" ”

"What should I do?" Ouyang looked at the river, "Why don't you swim over?" ”

I thought for a moment, looked at the dark river, and suddenly there was a cold war. I can only do this, and immediately asked everyone who can't swim, but fortunately everyone can swim, but Daniel just "sacrificed" two large bowls of blood, the river is still twenty meters wide, I am afraid that he will not be physically exhausted, and the black water is good, and let him follow Daniel, the trouble is my "Lady in a Neon Dress", since I can't see the water, I need two people to work together to swim and carry it over, in short, it is very troublesome. I still don't feel at ease, looking at the river blocking the road, people crossing the river moving the elephant, can be performed easy to count, immediately get a hexagram: the river occupies the road belongs to the Kun for the upper hexagram, everyone crosses the river belongs to the Kan for the lower hexagram, and Kun eight Kan six a total of 14 numbers, plus this time Yin Shi three numbers, a total of 17 numbers, to six divisions, 2612, to perform the hexagram, the fifth hexagram, change the Xun hexagram, see each other heavy dry, the hexagram says: the tiger tail, the sorrow, the end auspicious.

Lao Yang saw that my face was a little restless, and knew that I already had a hexagram in my performance, so he asked, "How is it, is it auspicious?" ”

"No, but yes." But my heart is full of melancholy, "walking on the tiger's tail, sorrowful", implying that we are going to step on the tiger's tail to cross the river, and there will be a big murderer at every turn!

Ye Jiaoyi on the side squatted down, threw a stone into the river, looked at the river repeatedly, stood up and said to us: "This river, it shouldn't flow in from outside the mountain, I estimate that the river will have high and low tides like sea water. ”

"Ebb and flow?" Yang Tiancong and I stared at Ye Jiaoyi, expecting this archaeologist to take a good breakdown.

"This dark river is supposed to be formed by the accumulation of mountain springs inside the mountain, and the spring water forms a rare vacuum equilibrium state inside the cave, that is, when the spring water accumulates a certain amount, the source of the mountain spring will no longer secrete and flow out of the spring water, and then it will seep out part of it on its own, forming a kind of 'ebb tide' effect. The water level will drop; And once it seeps out to a critical state, the mountain spring will start secreting spring water again, and the river will rise again! Ye Jiaoyi is worthy of being an archaeology professional, and she has also studied the geography of these mountains and rivers, "According to my experience, the river is still flowing now, and it should be gradually rising; And when the water is full, it overflows, and after a while, it is estimated that it will fall, I suggest. When the water level goes down, let's see, it will be safer. The current is still very fast, and everyone is very tired, so it may be dangerous to swim into the water now. ”

"What Jiaoyi said makes sense, let's wait a little longer to see if the water level will drop, if the water level drops and the current is not urgent, it will be safer to swim over again." I cast an admiring glance at Ye Jiaoyi. It's not useless to have a beautiful and delicate archaeologist by your side along the way.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the water level on the river really dropped!

Everyone sighed. Even Kua Ye Jiaoyi has insight. But even more surprising was to come, after the water level of the river dropped to a height of about three fingers, we suddenly found some rocks in the river!

As the water level went down further, the rocks revealed their true faces. It turned out to be twenty or thirty stone platforms lined up in a line, directly connecting the two sides of the river about 20 meters wide! The width of the stone platform is only enough for one person to stand, which is obvious. These stone platforms are artificially paved to make it easier for people to cross the river. The river is not visible at high tide, but when it recedes, it is revealed. Hei Biao climbed down the river and stepped tentatively, no problem, these stone platforms should be firmly embedded in the bottom of the river. At the moment, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, no need to risk wading and swimming across the river, of course, everyone praised Ye Jiaoyi's "insight", if there was no prior investigation by her, it is estimated that everyone would be swimming in the water to endure the biting cold river water.

Immediately, I asked everyone to be very vigilant and energetic, climbed down the river one by one, and slowly stepped on the stone platform towards the middle of the river. Yang Tiancong walked in front with the Dharma seal in his hand, then Hei Biao carrying the painting, and in the middle were Ouyang, Huang Ying, Ye Jiaoyi, Xiaolan and Daniel. I walked at the back, staring closely at the river, reciting in my heart the hexagram I had just broken: Walking on the tiger's tail, sorrowful, and auspicious. But the more I feel uneasy.

Just when Yang Tiancong and Hei Biao had already arrived at the opposite bank, they suddenly felt a powerful whirlwind rising from the river surface, blowing people to be there, and suddenly, they saw a tea bowl thick river water volatilizing with the whirlwind, forming a spectacular water column, rising straight to the top of the cave, blocking between Ye Jiaoyi and Xiaolan, and everyone immediately screamed!

"Dragons suck water!" I shouted, "There's a powerful aura in this river!" Everyone, run to the shore!! ”

But when Ouyang and Huang Ying had already climbed ashore, they suddenly heard a huge wave "boom boom" crashing on the shore and hitting the rocks, and in an instant, the stormy waves in the sky hit Ye Jiaoyi, Xiaolan, Daniel and me!

In the sound of the huge waves, I heard Ye Jiaoyi screaming again, and then I heard her shouting my name: "Fang Yin, save me!" ”

I also heard the exclamations of Ouyang and others coming from the shore: "There is something!" Be careful! ”

At that time, me, Xiaolan and Daniel were all swept down by this powerful wave, and when the waves subsided and the water dragon faded, I opened my eyes from the splash, and Ye Jiaoyi's voice had completely disappeared, "Jiaoyi! Ye Jiaoyi! I shouted loudly, climbed up the stone platform from the water as fast as I could, Ye Jiaoyi must have had an accident! Sure enough, in front of me, I only saw Xiaolan and Daniel, who were like soup chickens, how could there be Ye Jiaoyi's shadow?

I was so broken, my heart was like fire, I called Ye Jiaoyi's name again and again, but there was no answer, and Ouyang and Huang Ying were already stunned on the shore, their mouths wide open, their eyes wide, but they couldn't speak.

At this time, Yang Tiancong and Hei Biao had already rushed down from the shore, "Mr. Fang, are you okay?!" ”

I was soaking wet, wiping the water from my hair and eyes, and said urgently, "What did you see on the shore?" In which direction is Ye Jiaoyi missing? ”

"Snakes! Boa! Lao Yang's face was frightened and inexplicable.

"It's a python, a python, a python!" Ouyang on the shore recovered, but his speech was already slurred, "With such a long tail, there was a big python in this river, Ye Jiaoyi was swept away by a python!" ”

"The water waves are surging, I didn't see the specifics clearly, I heard Ye Jiaoyi's call, I immediately ran down, and I only saw a black tail flapping in the waves, about several meters long!" Yang Tiancong calmed down a little, "It should be a python!" swam in the direction of the east, Ye Jiaoyi should also be missing in this direction! ”

"Nope! It's not a python" I immediately threw the backpack on my back to Lao Yang, looked at the time, and then drew a strap from my coat with a dagger, tied the giant sword to my back, and pinned a waterproof flashlight to my waist, Lao Yang saw that I was so equipped, and exclaimed: "You want to ......"

"100,000 urgent, I'm going to jump into the water to find her, you guys are waiting for me on the shore!" I was going to dive in no time.

"But this dark river is deep and long, how do you go into the water to find it? Mr. Fang, let's think about it in the long run, maybe there is no endless way to the sky, and Princess Ye can't say that Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, you go into the water to find it, if you are exhausted in the water, what can you do then......"

"There's no time to think about it so much! Ye Jiaoyi's life is on the verge of death! I patted him on the shoulder, "You and Hei Biao protect everyone on the shore, I have a way to avoid water in the Xuanmen, it's okay to stay in the water for half a day, Ye Jiaoyi can't have an accident!" "Anyway, I dived a sandpiper and jumped into the river with a "bang".
