Chapter 14: The Great Waves of the Valley

By the time the first bean-sized drops of rain fell on the car window, the car could no longer move forward.

I opened the window and saw that we were surrounded by mountains, with an endless canyon full of gravel at our feet. A few seconds later, the rain outside had already formed a curtain, and the visibility was less than ten meters in an instant.

I hurriedly closed the window: "What should I do?" Go down now? ”

"Seventh Master, how far is it from the mountains and valleys on the map?" Liang Ruoyi turned around and asked.

The seventh master roughly measured it on the map with his finger: "It's less than ten miles, but now the car can't get in, so you want to get out of the car and go in on foot?" This place, just looking at the gravel on the mountain walls on both sides, is very dangerous under this kind of heavy rain. ”

Liang Ruoyi groaned: "Seventh Master, how long do you think we can find the Chengling hanging coffin in this kind of place?" Moreover, I listened to Mr. Liang Dong, if you don't look for it during the rainstorm, you may not find it. ”

Hearing this, the Seventh Master frowned.

I turned my head to look out the window, and the gloomy sky and the "booming" rainstorm made me feel melancholy. The seventh master is right, the mountain walls on both sides of this canyon are full of gravel, if such a rainstorm falls for four or five days in a row, isn't there no return!

"Let's take a risk!" The seventh master suddenly made a decision: "Everyone wear raincoats and leave immediately." If there's any danger, find a place to take shelter, understand? ”

Everyone nodded, and the cloth bag monk twisted the Buddha mantra in the back and recited a scripture, and then put on the raincoat in a hurry.

After getting out of the car in the rain, Liang Ruoyi drove the car to a high point, and then rushed down with a raincoat: "Let's go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, we suddenly heard a long howl from the valley, and hurriedly fixed our eyes to see a large, one-legged white bird soaring from the valley in the distance, and disappeared into the air in an instant.

"What's that?!" I subconsciously asked, "Eagles?" One foot?! ”

"Shang Yang?!" The seventh master turned his head to look at the cloth bag monk with a surprised face, and when he saw the old monk nodding, he exclaimed, "Really? Is there such a bird? ”

"The big bird that beckons the rain?" I wanted to take out my phone and take a picture of it, but I couldn't see it anymore: "I remember that there is a record in "Shuo Yuan (Arguments)", but I didn't expect that there really is such a one-legged bird? ”

"If you're not mistaken, this should be the mountain god that those villagers say, right?!" The old clam looked relaxed, and stood aside with a live clam to play with.

"Perhaps." The Seventh Master looked at the rain: "Hurry up, if the rain really collects the water of the mountain streams and washes it down, it is estimated that it will not take long for this valley to become a river." ”

As we walked down the valley, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I couldn't even see each other's faces when I was talking to the old clam face to face. The whole world is like an oil painting with dark tones, which makes people feel oppressed.

The hurried footsteps of everyone were drowned out in the sound of the torrential rain, and I followed behind the seventh master, snorting and panting.

Ten minutes later, three forks suddenly appeared in front of us, and the seventh master hurriedly took out the map to look at it and determine the direction.

"Hey, hey!" The toad cried out, "Listen! What sound is this?! ”

The toad has been in a bit of a wrong mood since just now, I think that although this person does all kinds of evil, but he values his own life very important, and it is estimated that he will have to retreat in the face of this situation, but the greed for money in his heart makes him unable to give up - after all, the first time he participated, he snatched millions worth of gold ingots from me, and I didn't tell anyone about it.

The seventh master just glanced at the toad, and then lowered his head to look at the map.

The Budai monk on the side frowned suddenly: "The water has already come......

Everyone was shocked, and they all raised their heads to look in all directions, and sure enough, a few seconds later, the "boom" of the river rushing in the valley came from all directions!

"It's broken!" The seventh master slapped his thigh: "We have no way out!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that waves had appeared in the distance of the valley when we had just come, and it was estimated that they would rush over within a minute. And at the three forks in the road in front of him, there was also the sound of "booming" water.

"Old clam!"

The seventh master shouted at the old clam, the old clam glanced around, and beckoned to us: "Come with us, go to the high place!" By the way, take out the rope in the bag and tie it! ”

We hurriedly followed the clam to the left wall, climbed up a steep hill, about three meters above the ground, the old clam found a solid boulder on the wall, tied one end of the rope to it, and then tied the other end to his waist: "Guys, quick, give me one end of the rope, tie it to my rope!" ”

Serial locks?! I hurriedly handed the end of the rope that was tied to my waist to the old clam and watched him tie it around my waist. Although the toad did not bring waterproof things, but the general rope and the like were still carried, at this fatal moment, the old clam naturally did not bother with the toad, and tied his rope to himself.

"Hey, put on your life jackets!" Liang Ruoyi suddenly shouted.

That's right, too! Seeing that the rain over there had already poured in, it instantly flooded the place where we were standing.

We hurriedly put on our life jackets, and in a place like the valley, we couldn't escape at this time, so we had to find a place to fix ourselves and try to escape.

By the time we were fully armed, the three forks in the road were also soaked in rainwater, and the water level was rising rapidly as fast as the naked eye could see.

"Damn, this water is rising so fast!" The old clam scolded: "No wonder the big birds and sheep have run away, and it can't stay in this water." ”

All of us watched with solemn faces as the water below slowly rose. At this point, our position was like an island, and there was nowhere to go except to go up, but the terrain above was almost vertical, and there was no way to go up.

The rain was still pouring and showing no signs of abating.

After about twenty minutes, I was shivering and shivering.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a slight shake under our feet, accompanied by a "boom", as if a mudslide had occurred on some mountain peak in the distance.

"Water!" The Budai monk suddenly pointed to the water line below, which was almost two meters high, and shouted.

We hurriedly looked down and saw that with this loud noise, the water level below had risen several times faster, and in the blink of an eye, it had passed two meters, and we saw that it was only more than half a meter away from where we were standing.

"Is there a way?!" The toad could no longer hold back at this time, this may be the first time in his life that he is facing the threat of death from a natural catastrophe: "It's flooding right now!" ”

The seventh master glanced at the toad: "Do you have a way?" ”

The toad was stunned, and his head shook like a rattle: "There is no ......"

"Then neither do I." The seventh master replied angrily.

This conversation doesn't sound funny at this time, but more like a helpless struggle. The Seventh Master and the Budai Monk are both masters, let them fight, dig gold and pour holes, they are all good hands, but in the face of the ruthless and endless power of nature, they are also as small as ants.

A few minutes later, the water had submerged my feet.

Liang Ruoyi has been fiddling with her mobile phone, but what is desperate is that there is no signal on her mobile phone at this time.

"The waves are coming!" The old clam suddenly pointed to one end of the valley and shouted.

My body was already a little numb, and I shivered and turned my head to look down, and saw several huge waves in the distance chasing me.

"The loud noise just now, it is estimated that a certain underground water river hole has been broken through......" The seventh master did not have any confidence in his tone: "Everyone get ready, we are estimated to enter the water!" ”

As the waves approached, the water level rose rapidly, and after a few breaths it was already above my waist, and if it weren't for the ropes, I would have been washed away.

All six of us grabbed the rope around our waists with both hands, slowly leaning together, waiting for the impact of the waves.

"It's coming!"

The old clam screamed. Under the dim canopy, in the midst of a frenzied rainstorm, the first waves swept past us like fierce beasts! I felt a powerful impact instantly sweep away my center of gravity, and we were like six leaves falling into a river, drifting along the waves.

"Everyone, do a good job!" Seeing that I was a little physically exhausted, the seventh master hurriedly reached out and grabbed my rope and pulled hard, so I hurriedly stabilized my body, wiped the rain on my face, and nodded to the seventh master.

The second wave was about to rush over, and I adjusted my breath and saw a raised stone on the mountain wall not far away, just enough to hold onto, so I held my breath and swam towards it.

"Xiao Gu, be careful!"

I had just swam halfway when the Seventh Master suddenly shouted behind me, and I hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see that the second huge wave had rushed over, and because of my actions, Liang Ruoyi's rope was actually entangled with my rope underwater, and rushed towards me with the impact of the huge wave!
