Chapter 29: The Waterways

As I said earlier, I hate places where there is water, such as lakes, rivers, underground waterways, etc.

This world has told us a lot of things, and it has also taught us a lot of principles of being a human being, just like: what you hate will never meet you.

"This" Kuroko looked at the puddle on the ground with a puzzled expression, and asked me: "Brother Yi, this thing should have nothing to do with the ancient tomb, right?" ”

"Sure, can you go down and have a look?" My dead friend smiled impoverishedly.

The puddle in front of us is only one square meter in size, the water is very clear, in fact, if you look closely, you will find that this puddle is more like a spring or a well.

The side of the pit is all pasted with some gray stone bricks, it seems that the age should not be small, after the identification of the sunspot, these stone bricks are indeed antiquities, but the specific year is not clear.

"It's about three meters from here to the bottom of the water, if you go down," Kuroko said, picking up a stone from the ground and throwing it down.

At this time, we found that the depth of the water in this pit was far beyond our imagination, it must be more than three meters, because we can observe the time it took for the stone to fall to the bottom and the trajectory of its fall, and it is no exaggeration to say that the depth of the water here is probably eight or nine meters.

"The other three sides are stone walls, and it is estimated that there is a waterway in this direction." I pointed to the only place where there was no stone wall, there was a stone cave in that place, the entrance of the cave was oval, and the diameter was two meters, I really couldn't tell the exact size, after all, I was observing the hole on the water, and I didn't actually go down to the conclusion of observation.

"I'll go down and have a look." Kuroko said, put the backpack and handbag on the ground, touched the water temperature with his hand, and started to warm up with a bitter face.

I saw his reluctant expression but couldn't help but want to go on, and I understood it very well.

I also touched the water temperature of this water just now, it is estimated that it is a few degrees, or even about zero degrees, the weather outside is cold enough, and the water below me feels that it is all groundwater, jumping down to find the waterway is no different from playing winter swimming, maybe I will cramp to death.

But although Kuroko was reluctant, he still wanted to go down and take a look, after all, the road of glory and wealth was paved in front of him, and no one could say what treasures were in it, if he took two awesome objects and gave them to the little Buddha, then he

"Brother Yi, you look at the situation, if something is wrong, you will pull me back immediately." Kuroko took off her clothes and pants, walked up to me in her underwear, and handed me the rope tied to her waist.

"Don't worry, I'm in a good position, I'll pull you up if it's a little troublesome." I nodded, took the rope and squatted down on the edge of the puddle, pouting, and motioning for Kuroko to hurry down and stop the ink.

Kuroko walked to the entrance of the cave, moved his arm, and carefully lowered his foot into the water.

In fact, I was praying in my heart at that time, praying that this place would not have anything to do with the ancient tombs, and that I would rather be unjustly pinched than go down to such a closed water.

Imagine if you were in a sealed environment, with only a narrow exit overhead, stone walls on three sides, and a blackened cavern on the other side, the only thing that would shine was a waterproof flashlight in your hand

I don't want to go down.

"Heizi, what kind of task did Little Buddha arrange for you? Let you give him the baby back or? "I asked after the sunspot before he went into the water.

Heizi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied to me: "Accompany Brother Yi to the ancient tomb, let you take all the things, and arrange the rest of the tasks when the time comes." ”

"Arrange it then?"

"Yes, the Buddha should come to Tai'an City, saying that he wants to pick us up."

"Oh" I nodded, didn't say anything more, silently watched Kuroko go into the water, and then shone a flashlight under the water, paying attention to the surroundings for Kuroko.

Little Buddha is coming to meet us? Why do I always think that he is here to kill people? Maybe the grandson will see that I have done this for him, and then he will give me away

My eyes flickered at the thought, and I shook my head, suppressing the thoughts that had made me tremble.

Whether or not he can go back alive is a question, although Kuroko is a fool, he doesn't think this place is much dangerous, but from my experience, as long as it is related to the so-called ancient ruins of death and immortality, most of them are not good stubble.

Suddenly, with the sound of water, the sunspot swam back inexplicably, looked at me excitedly and said, "Brother Yi! There's a waterway! ”

"Oh, I'm grass, is this fun for me" I gritted my teeth, looked under the water with an impatient face, and said in my heart that this is really afraid of something, if this is a waterway below, then it must be related to the place where Zuo Ci feathered, but I really don't want to go down here.

"Boom."

There was another sound of water, and a thumb-sized fruit suddenly fell from a branch above our heads and smashed into the water.

Looking at the ripples on the water, I rubbed my face and suddenly felt a little calmer.

Go down, you have to go down, if you don't go down, who knows what reason the little Buddha will find to get me?

"Just throw all the unnecessary stuff here, just bring weapons and explosives and stuff like that." As I spoke, I put my backpack on the ground and opened it to inspect it, and I was relieved to see that everything had been packed in a plastic sealed bag beforehand.

"I'll just bring water and compressed biscuits, you can bring some to stop bleeding, and remember not to leave medicine behind." I said again.

Heizi nodded, went ashore and sorted out the equipment with me: "Okay, listen to Brother Yi." ”

When I finished packing up my equipment, Kuroko was still busy working, and seeing that I was not in a hurry to go down, I lit a cigarette, walked to the side of the big tree, sat down and smoked.

"I don't know if I can go back this time." I squinted slightly at the puddle, not because I was pretending to be sharp-eyed, but because I was choking on smoke.

At this moment, Kuroko greeted me with his bag, I nodded, got up and walked over, took off my clothes and pants and put them in Kuroko's bag, his bag is waterproof, and it is just right to hold clothes.

"Walking?"

"You start, after I break off, swim into the waterway for thirty seconds, and if we can't find a place, we'll go to the ancient tomb by another way." I said unhappily, thirty seconds in, thirty seconds out, and less than ten seconds when I surfaced, adding up to more than a minute, which is almost my limit.

I'm really not proficient in this kind of kung fu, after all, I don't belong to Wang Ba, right?

Poof.

Poof.

The two dull sounds of falling water were the beginning of our operation and the fuse of everything.

There's one thing I've been thinking about a lot now.

If I hadn't gone to Ascend Senikedai in the first place.

If only the little Buddha hadn't forced me to take the plunge.

If I hadn't brought those things back.

Maybe there is a truth that I will never know in my life, and I will always be kept in the dark, and I will still be stupid to live in this world.

Knowing the consequences of this truth is both good and bad.

On the good side, I finally knew one thing about the old man, something enough to drive me crazy.

On the bad side, I became a madman soon after.

That's right, it's a madman.

During the time when I was not in a normal mental state, I remembered many things clearly, but I often hallucinated or couldn't control my emotions.

As the master said, when I couldn't control my emotions, I became another little Buddha, ah no, it should have become the original little Buddha, not the little Buddha I saw.

Of course, that's all for later, not long after.

"This place should be naturally formed, there are no traces of artificial excavation" I held my breath and dived for a while, but the buoyancy was much stronger than my downward dive, and when I reached four or five meters, I felt a little struggling.

If it weren't for Kuroko dragging me downstream, I guess I would have naturally floated to the surface to enjoy the natural air.

"Don't have any terrible ancestors in this place, otherwise I won't be able to run." I cautiously glanced at the entrance of the waterway, and when I saw that there was nothing abnormal around, I followed the sunspot, pulled the stone wall of the waterway with my hands, and gritted my teeth and swam in for three or four meters.

The waterway does not look like it was dug out by hand, but it is no different from a naturally formed cave, the stone walls are extremely irregular, and when you shine a flashlight forward, you can't see your head at all.

"Underground river?" I shivered with the cold, and I felt the water flowing slowly, and I had an inexplicable feeling.

Something seems to be watching us.
