Chapter 19: The Drowning River
Ye Xiangtian's message mentioned that the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor was in it. There are three people's tombs here, namely the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West and the mausoleum of a certain person in ancient times. Based on experience, Ye Xiangtian asserted that it was a certain god in Chinese mythology, and it seemed to be Fuxi or Nuwa among the Chinese ancestors.
With the information left in Ye Xiangtian's words, we walked towards the tomb where Ye Xiangtian left the treasure. According to Ye Xiangtian's words, there is no danger from here to there, but there is a river in the middle, but the river is boiling hot water, if you fall into it, you will definitely not survive. Fortunately, there is a single-plank bridge over the river, I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, it is very strong, and even the weight of those instruments has not been crushed.
After a while, we arrived at the river, and to my surprise, the river had already frozen. The single-plank bridge is still there, but it is already in tatters, and only half of it still hangs there. Leng Feng pursed his lips and said, "Is this the sturdy single-plank bridge that Ye Xiangtian said?" It's all blue like this, how can people live? However, the river water here is not hot, but rather frozen. It is possible to pass on ice. ”
Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Sister Leng, you don't want to think about it, more than 2,000 years have passed, what kind of wood can be so strong?" What's more, Ye Xiangtian said that the water vapor here is so big, the wood has long been rotten. ”
Yu Qian asked strangely: "The river we entered earlier was so cold and didn't freeze, how could it freeze here?" You say, "Is this river here the same as the river we came in?" If we didn't go down the river but went up, would we have come here? ”
I carefully calculated the distance between the two rivers, looked at the direction of the river carefully, shook my head and said, "Impossible, there may be a river here and there, but the distance is very large." It's like the Yellow River, if it weren't for a big zigzag bend, it wouldn't come out of such a long channel. It should be the same here. So, even if we go against the current, we can't get here. ”
Leng Feng looked at us and said, "Okay, you guys don't guess, let's see how to get there." If we find what Ye Xiangtian left behind, our task will be half completed. Even if we can't find Lu Liang and them, we can still make a difference to the country. Don't forget that there are Qin Tai and them in the back, we can't waste time here. Who knows if they'll catch up? Don't forget, we blocked the river just now, and if the river fills the river, the cold water will make them wake up from the environment. When they see that we are gone, will they be willing, they will not seek us? So, we're going to get it all done before they find us. ”
Listening to Leng Feng's reprimand, Zhang Qiang's little girl made a grimace at me, I smiled bitterly and shook my head, this little girl, find a fight that can have with Bai Ling's little girl, they are all so elf and eccentric, saying that they are more timid than anyone else, but they forget it immediately after that. What a freak. I don't know if they're simple-minded or they're optimistic, anyway, having such a person in the team always makes people nervous, but it's a natural atmosphere regulator.
I looked at the river, walked to the side of the bridge and stomped on it twice, and the bridge broke in response. I almost fell. I shook my head and took a few steps back, but when I looked up, I broke out in a cold sweat. The single-plank bridge fell into the river, and the seemingly solid ice did not stop it in the slightest, and the rotten wood of the single-plank bridge was rotten, but it effortlessly penetrated the ice and sank to the bottom. Leng Feng and the others were surprised to see this situation, couldn't close their mouths in surprise, is this really ice? The decaying single-plank bridge shatters at the touch of a button, and can it penetrate the ice? We subconsciously rubbed our eyes and took a closer look, but the result still discouraged us. That's right, at this point we wish we were wrong and dazzled, but the result is so amazing. Originally, I wanted to tie the rope to the single-plank bridge and go into the river to see it myself, but now I dare not go down.
Zhang Qiang Nannan said: "Is this drowning? Is it the drowning that goose feathers can sink to the bottom? But I haven't heard that drowning can also freeze, drowning can not float, can't the ice here also carry weight? But how does this ice come to the surface? If it's drowning, there's no way there's anything to float on, even if it's ice, it's not supposed to float on the water? ”
I patted the little girl gently: "Don't think about it, there are some things that can't be explained by common sense, and it's not something we can understand." This is the first time you have been to such a place, and you will know that there are many things that are abnormal in this kind of place. In such a place, scientific knowledge is basically something that is not available, but it is things like Qimen that are most useful. ”
"Professor Water, how are we going to get there? With such a wide river, and drowning, I thought, we might not be able to get across. Yu Qian looked at the surface of the river and said with a sigh. The surface of the river is twelve or thirteen meters wide, which is not too wide in these underground rivers, and it is not too sad, but because of drowning, it has actually become a moat. The ground is flat, there is not a single protruding rock, although there are many ropes, but there is no place to tie the ropes. I shook my head helplessly, pointed to the front and said, "Let's walk along the river first." “
We walked less than three miles along the river before the surface of the river changed, there was no ice on the surface of the river, the clear water was not deep, and we could see the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river at a glance. There were actually a few small white fish swimming slowly, emitting a faint fluorescence under the light of the flashlight, which was a bit too beautiful, which made Zhang Qiang's little girl cry out in surprise.
Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh: "Life is really strange, I can't imagine that in this dark place, there are aquatic plants growing, and these small white fish don't react to light at all, but they all have eyes, and they don't feel light." It's really peculiar. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it when anyone else said it. ”
I smiled and said, "Do you see anything?" ”
Zhang Qiang turned around and said suspiciously: "What do you see?" What else could there be? I only saw some cute little fish. Listening to his answer, I smiled bitterly and shook my head, in the end, it was a child's spleen surname. I looked at Leng Feng, Leng Feng nodded, and said with a smile: "Zhang Qiang, you little girl, why can't you get rid of your child's temper." Yu Qian, do you see that? ”
Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "I think Professor Shui is talking about these aquatic plants and small fish." I smiled and said, "Yes, you can see that." Zhang Qiang's little girl lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly said, "I know, I know." I see. There will be no small fish in the drowning, and the small fish will not float at all in the drowning, are you talking about this? ”
"You little girl, you finally understand." Leng Feng smiled: "Now we are facing such a question, why does an underground dark river have so many strange places?" The fresh water is more than ten degrees below zero but does not freeze, the goose feathers do not float drowning, and the aquatic grass and small fish a few steps away, I just don't know if I will meet Ye Xiangtian said hot water. What a strange place. If there is danger, it will not be the same as the previous tomb. ”
"Professor Water, can we get over here?" Yu Qian asked. I shook my head and said, "Let's walk for a while, it's too close to drowning, I'm afraid it's dangerous, it's better to be careful." Who knows if this water will flow and what if something happens? This kind of place can't be careless, otherwise you don't know how to die. ”
We walked along the river for a long time, and finally we saw a path. We hurriedly ran over, only to see a single-plank bridge erected on the surface of the river, and the river below was constantly churning bubbles, and the water vapor was permeating both sides of the river, hazy like a fairyland. It seems that this is the place where Ye Xiangtian said. The place just now must have been wrong for us, hot water, single-plank bridge, Ye Xiangtian said that this is it. We were immediately excited, it seems that Ye Xiangtian's treasure must not be far from here. Finally, we cautiously crossed the single-plank bridge, which was very smooth and not a little dangerous.
After crossing the river, I turned on the strong searchlight and swept around, carefully analyzed the place where Ye Xiangtian was going, and then chose a direction to go down. On both sides of the river, there has always been a platform of four or five meters, but then there are passages. Zhang Qiang's little girl looked at the passage and said: "Only now does it look like an ancient tomb, just now the banks of the river are bare, and there is no mausoleum at all." ”
I couldn't help but say funny: "Little girl, how many mausoleums have you passed through for archaeology? Is the archaeological mausoleum so big? Is there an underground river? Are there so many channels? Those mausoleums are just a vestibule, a side chamber, an apse, and a main burial chamber, so how big are they? Right here, there are enough pyramids to be opened, and the pyramids of Egypt will not be crowded here. It's really not simple, maybe it's really the mausoleums of several people together. ”
The inside of the passage is very clean, although it is close to the river, it is very dry inside, and there is not a trace of water vapor coming in. I wonder where all the water vapor has gone? There aren't many on either side of the river, and it's even drier here, isn't that water vapor? Could those bubbles be natural gas? How can there be no taste?
"Look, hurry, there's a tomb ahead, let's hurry over." Zhang Qiang's little girl pointed to the front and shouted. In front of it was a stone door, seven or eight meters high, which flickered faintly under the light of a flashlight.
In recent days, the autumn harvest at home, so there is no update, I hope friends understand. Thank you
