Chapter 273: Keep Deeper
After that, the master fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to himself, "This statue looks a little familiar." ”
As he spoke, the master touched his chin and fell into deep thought again, neither Xian'er nor I dared to disturb him.
But after a long time, the master sighed: "Alas, I forgot where I saw it." There is a way, keep walking, we don't have much time, don't bother with this kind of thing. ”
I nodded and beckoned everyone to move on, while Xian'er consciously retreated to the back half of the line, walking between Liu Shangang and Chen Daochang.
After the first statue appeared, the second and third statues also appeared, and I roughly calculated the distance, and the distance between each statue was about a kilometer.
When you walk past the second statue, you can faintly hear the sound of "rushing" water in front of you, which is very urgent and heavy, not like the sound of running water, but more like the agitation of water from high places falling to low places.
After walking the distance of 3,000 meters, we finally came to the source of the river, which was a waterhole with a diameter of five or six meters, and a small waterfall directly above the waterhole.
Although the river has dried up, the waterhole is almost full, and the waterfall looks like it is about to dry up, with only a small stream of water slowly pouring into the pool.
Strangely, although the water in the waterfall is constantly filled, the water level in the pool has not changed at all, and the surface of the pool is so calm that there is not even a trace of ripples.
Under the seemingly calm water, a rapid sound of "Sisuo" can be faintly heard, and it seems that under the waterhole, there is a dark river with a fast flow of water.
Master looked at the pool and said, "Don't look at this pool that is calm on the surface, but the undercurrent below is fierce. ”
After speaking, the master turned around again and threw an inquiring look at my Senior Brother Feng, who immediately understood, stretched out the index finger of his left hand, and nodded towards the top of the waterfall.
I can also understand what Senior Brother Feng meant, he let us go up to the waterfall.
The rope that had been prepared earlier came in handy, and everyone except Xian'er took out the rope hook and threw it towards the top of the waterfall at the same time.
But there was no stone ridge on the waterfall to hold the hooks in place, and when we pulled the ropes, the six hooks unhooked at the same time and fell off the waterfall.
I immediately turned around and beckoned to Liu Shangang.
Liu Shang took out the mace and a very thick looking rope from his backpack, and then quietly came to the waterfall and drove the first long nail into the damp stone wall.
His hands and feet were very nimble, and he drove long nails into the stone wall and climbed up on them, and in just a few minutes, Liu Shangang had climbed the waterfall. After another clinking of maces, he threw the rope down.
For a long time, I couldn't imagine how Senior Brother Bao trained Liu Shangang to do this in one year.
I stepped forward and tried to pull the rope, but Liu Shangang wedged it so firmly that I added two more pressures and the rope didn't loosen at all.
After that, I grabbed the trekking rope and climbed the spikes up quickly, the waterfall was not very high, and I quickly reached the top, and then I turned around and waved to the people below.
As long as these spikes and trekkins can hold my weight, no one else has any problems.
When I looked back at Liu Shangang, I found that he was rubbing his throat incessantly, and he also had a very painful expression on his face.
The yin qi above the waterfall was very heavy, and the sugar we had eaten before had already begun to take effect, and my stomach was constantly flooding with a bitter smell.
It's just that the Black Water Corpse Coffin also exerts its effect at the same time, constantly dissolving the yin qi that pours into my body, so that the bitter smell I feel is not too strong.
After that, the master and they also came up one by one, Xian'er and Luo Fei didn't seem to feel the bitterness, the two of them looked as usual, but the other people's faces were more or less with a little pain or disgusting expression.
When Master came up, he took out his flashlight and took a picture of the surroundings.
Generally speaking, the sinkhole of the waterfall is connected to the river vein, in front of us, there is also a river vein, the river water flows gently, with a very heavy yin qi, and at the end of the river vein ten meters away, there is a waterhole, above the waterhole, there is still a waterfall.
When Master hit the beam of the flashlight above my head, I looked in the direction of the beam and saw that directly above my head, there was a vault made of stone bricks, and there seemed to be some carvings on the bricks, but because the roof of the cave was too high, no one could see what was carved on the bricks.
I pointed to the vault and asked my master, "Is this place built by man?" ”
Master looked up at the stone bricks on the vault and said to me, "This place was originally an underground palace, and it is normal that there are traces of artificial construction. ”
After speaking, the master turned off the flashlight, turned his head and said to me: "I have been in the Mass Grave Mountain for all these years, and it is the first time for me to come to this place. You're in the lead, so be extra careful, no one knows where those traps are placed. ”
I nodded earnestly and asked Master, "Who would build a tomb in a place like Mass Grave Mountain, it's unlucky?" ”
The master shook his head and said thoughtfully, "No one knows what the Mass Grave Mountain looked like in the early years, maybe it was a treasure land of feng shui." The Yin River here may not be the Yin River in the past, maybe it is just an ordinary river vein. Thousands of years have passed, and the feng shui of this place has changed, which has given birth to such a dead place as Mass Grave Mountain. ”
As Master spoke, Senior Brother Feng came over and showed us the Feng Shui compass, and we saw that the hands on the compass were spinning at a very fast speed, as if they were keeping up with a clockwork.
Master couldn't help frowning and looked at Senior Brother Feng without saying a word.
Senior Brother Feng said: "The magnetic field in this place is very weird, Uncle Shi, Youdao, you go ahead, you have to be more careful." ”
That's when my master asked him, "The compass can't be used?" ”
Senior Brother Feng responded, "I can't use it for the time being, but for now, our direction is not wrong." ”
The master nodded a little reassuringly, and then he pointed to the waterfall not far away, and said to Liu Shangang, "Fat dun, go on!" ”
Liu Shangang pulled out the steel nails, dismantled the climbing rope, and rushed to the waterfall without saying a word, another toss.
After climbing to the top of the waterfall, there is another river vein connected to the waterhole, and above the waterhole, there is another waterfall.
The team was quiet, and Liu Shangang climbed the waterfall again and threw the rope down.
Waterfalls, river veins, and pools, the same scene, repeated seven or eight times, and in the end, the steel nails brought by Liu Shangang were no longer enough.
Fortunately, after Liang Houzai hit the last steel nail on the top of the waterfall, this cycle finally ended, and in front of us were two narrow caves, one of which seemed to be the source of the river vein, from which the river water continued to flow, and the mouth of the cave emitted a very strong yin qi.
The other hole leads to no one.
Senior Brother Feng came to the two cave entrances respectively, took a flashlight and probed inside, and then turned back, pointed to the relatively dry cave and said to my master: "I can only go this way, the yin qi in the other cave is too heavy, except for Uncle Shi and Youdao, no one else can resist it." ”
My master seemed a little hesitant, he pondered for a moment, and said to my senior brother Feng, "You wait here first, and I'll go in with Youdao to have a look." ”
Senior Brother Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
As we spoke, Xian'er had been eavesdropping behind my master, and when she heard that the two of us were about to leave the team, she immediately grabbed my arm: "I'll go too." ”
I turned to look at her and said to her, "The yin qi inside is too heavy, you are not my companion soul now, if something really happens, I can't protect you." ”
Xian'er showed a very resolute expression: "I don't care, I'm going to go with you." ”
When she spoke, Luo Fei also came over, she took out the Genzi flag, and was about to say something, but the master next to her first waved his hand at her, and then turned his head to Xian'er and said, "Little fox ghost, you just got the entity, and you are very fragile, so don't follow it." ”
There was a bit of sternness in Master's tone, and Xian'er glanced at my master, and met my master's majestic eyes, and she was also a little cowardly.
While Xian'er hesitated, I broke away from her hand and said to her, "I'll be back in a while." So he hurriedly walked with the master towards the entrance of the cave.
When the two of us walked to the entrance of the cave, Xian'er called me again: "There is a way on the left!" ”
Master and I stopped at the same time, turned our heads to look at her, and saw her trotting all the way over, and even Luo Fei followed silently.
Xian'er blew into her palm, and the lantern with a faint green fox fire appeared in her hand out of thin air, and she handed me the fox fire lantern: "You take the lantern." ”
I took the fox fire lantern, and Xian'er glanced at my master again, and silently stepped aside.
Luo Fei also ran over and stuffed something into my hand, I spread out my palm and saw that it was a string of agarwood bracelets, with a very mellow spiritual charm on it.
My hands and necks are thick, and I can't take this bracelet with me, so I have to keep it in my pocket.
Like Xian'er, after Luo Fei gave me the things, he also stepped aside and looked at me silently. I gave each of them a smile and tried to reassure them, but they still stood there silently, looking at me worriedly, and I didn't say anything more, turned around, and entered the cave with the fox fire lantern that the fairy had given me.
Due to the narrowness of the hole, Master and I had to walk forward one after the other.
The light in the lantern is not strong, but it covers a wide area, and the scene of more than 100 meters in front is clearly illuminated by it.
The deeper we went, the narrower the width of the cave became, and at first, Master and I were able to barely avoid the veins and walk sideways along the wet bank, but later on, we had to wade into the river, letting the shallow water reach our ankles.
The yin qi in the river water was very strong, and the sugar cubes I had eaten before were quickly useless, so I could only move forward while relying on the black water corpse coffin to get rid of the yin qi that had diffused into my body from my heels.
After walking some distance, the master behind him suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, the love of children is long. ”
I stopped and turned my head to look at my master, who also looked at me, and he smiled at me and said, "You are also a good child, like me and your uncle, the yang spirit is not perfect, and we can't get married for the rest of our lives, even if we get married, we are also married to death." ”
When Master said this, I was a little embarrassed: "Why did Master suddenly talk about this?" ”
