Chapter 25: The Water God Guards

After he left, Ye Fan asked, "Old pig, did you agree so simply?" I don't think he's that simple. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No matter what his purpose is, we need someone to take us in, unless we dive over, but if we don't have particularly good diving equipment, we can't get in, but we will be swept away by the current, and besides, there may be something underwater." Zhu Zizhang said.

"Well, there's no way around it now, everyone be careful, stabbing in the back often happens." Ye Fan said.

Ye Xi said: "When the time comes, when we arrive at the Water God Cave, give him double the money and let him go back." ”

Ye Tong patted her head and said, "You girl is so stupid, then how can we go back." ”

"Well, okay, I didn't think about going back, it's just strange, my parents didn't look for a boatman, how did they get in, are they familiar with the waters here, and rowed in by themselves?" Ye Xi said.

Ye Fan picked up a big bag of food and threw it to them and said, "It's useless to think about it, let's just ask them ourselves, eat something quickly, we may be busy all night." ”

"Sail boy, bring some more compressed biscuits and bagged sausages, in case it comes out late and the tide can't get out, we have to wait one more day." Zhu Zizhang reminded.

"I know, you can rest assured that I will do things." Ye Fan skillfully stuffed these easy-to-carry foods into his backpack and, of course, various equipment.

After Zhou Song came over with the boat, Zhu Zizhang took out some delicious things and said, "Zhou Song, you also come to eat something first, you have the strength to support the boat." ”

"Okay, I sneaked out, I really didn't have dinner, thank you." After Zhou loosened the boat, he came over and sat down to eat together.

Zhu Zizhang gave him a bottle of drink and asked kindly: "Zhou Song, is your mother the only one in your family?" ”

"There is also an older sister and a younger sister, a seven-year-old brother, and originally we also had an eldest brother, who was taken away by the water god four years ago. Every family in our village has people staying here, and everyone is used to it. Zhou Song said it very easily, but the people who listened to it felt pressure, which showed that the danger of the Water God Cave was more terrifying than they expected.

The villagers who have lived here for a long time must be very familiar with this place, and so many people will die here in this situation, and the danger of the waters here is definitely beyond ordinary people's imagination.

They finished eating quickly, Ye Fan and Zhu Zizhang put their backpacks on the boat, and everyone else got on the boat and sat down. Zhou Song untied the rope that held the boat in place, jumped on the stern, and pushed the oars against the shore towards the middle of the lake.

The boat rowed forward slowly, the lake here is turquoise, but you can smell the fishy smell of the sea, and feel the breath of the sea on the top of this mountain, which makes people feel quite weird.

"Zhou Song, when we entered the village, why did the children and the elderly look at us so panicked?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

"Panic? What do you mean? Zhou Song showed a puzzled look.

"This is a dialect in the north, and people here have very little contact with the outside, so how can they know this word." Ye Tong glanced at Ye Fan and said to Zhou Song, "Actually, it means to be scared." ”

"Oh, because the outsiders who come to our village have only one purpose, that is, to go to the Water God Cave, there has always been a legend in all the villages, when the water god needs sacrifices, he will use his divine power to attract people from outside to come in, and he will take the initiative to enter the Water God Cave, from our village, it is recorded that some outsiders will come every thirty years, and none of them can go back after coming. That's why it's weird to look at your face. Zhou Cang said.

Ye Xi snorted: "I don't believe it, my parents went in thirty years ago, and then they didn't come out well." ”

"Thirty years ago! No way! Zhou Song's face was horrified, looking at these people as if they had seen ghosts.

Ye Fan saw that he must know something, and immediately said: "You don't have to look at us like this, in fact, we are indeed called by the water god, and the water god told us that a group of people have offended them recently, so let's punish these people." ”

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Ye Xi almost laughed, the people here believe in the god of water so much, Ye Fan took advantage of this, they all knew that Ye Fan was talking to each other, so they didn't say anything.

But Zhou Song didn't have any doubts, he knew that there really was a water god, and he immediately said, "What proof do you have?" ”

Ye Fan thought that his father had gone in thirty years ago, maybe the people here had seen the golden talisman, pointed to Ye Xi's neck and said, "Do you know this, this is a talisman given by the water god, and you can freely enter and exit the water god cave with it." ”

Ye Xi also deliberately took out the gold talisman around his neck, Zhou Song was so excited that he didn't even row the boat when he saw it, and even knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Xi, Ye Xi exclaimed in surprise: "What are you doing, you are sick." ”

"You must be the messenger of the water god, I heard my father say that he brought a man in thirty years ago, and then the water god himself sent this man out, my father is also the only person in the village who came back alive from the water god cave, but my father only told me about this matter, he said that he was not allowed to say it, otherwise he would be punished by the water god, touch the gold talisman My father drew it and showed it to me, I have remembered this thing since I was a child. You are the messenger of the god of water, and I will tell you that it will be all right, and now I will be able to find my father. Zhou Song's face was happy, and he was very respectful to Ye Xi, as if she was the god of water.

Ye Xi asked curiously: "You should have been in contact with people outside, so why are you still wearing ancient clothes, these clothes are very troublesome to wear." ”

"This is given to us by the god of water, and the people in the village believe in the god of water, and only those who wear such clothes can be blessed by the god of water."

"I knew it was going to be like this, and it's happened a lot in the history of our country. I'm just curious about what's in this water god cave, and why didn't anyone who went in get out alive? Ye Tong said.

"I don't know about this, my father never mentioned this matter after he came out, only told me about touching the golden talisman and the water god, what was in it, why it was so dangerous, I asked many times, and my father would only scold me every time."

Zhu Zizhang said helplessly: "We still have to explore by ourselves, anyway, everyone should be more careful." ”

After the boat parade for about ten minutes, Ye Xi stretched out his hand to pat the water and said in surprise: "This water is so cold!" ”

"Don't reach down, you'll be guarded by the water god." Zhou Song exclaimed.

Ye Xi was taken aback, instinctively withdrew his hand and asked in surprise, "What water god guard?" ”

"We have a rule here, all living people can't physically touch the water here, this is disrespectful to the water god, otherwise they will be captured by the water god guards, I saw a young man in the village who did not believe in evil when he was a child, jumped into the lake to swim, but after going down, he never surfaced again." Zhou Song said with a frightened face.

"Cut, I must have drowned because of cramps, what are you doing, scare me." As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, he wanted to reach out again, and the water was very comfortable.

"Shrink back." Ye Fan suddenly screamed, lay on the edge of the boat, and looked below.

Seeing Ye Fan's expression, everyone else was also lying on the edge of the boat, and Zhou Song knelt directly on the bow of the boat and bowed in the direction of the Water God Cave.

I saw a large number of diamond-shaped black shadows swimming underneath the boat, and I could feel the sound of a lot of things hitting the bottom of the boat, which made the boat shake. This frightened the faces of the five people on the ship, no matter what was below, if the ship capsized, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Fortunately, after a while, the shadows passed, and the boat stabilized after a few shakes. The people on the boat breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Zizhang swallowed his saliva and said: "Three girls, your old uncle pig is old and can't stand such stimulation, you better settle down." ”

Ye Xi pouted, although his face was embarrassed, but he still said with some grievances: "How did I know that there would be such a thing, I just don't touch the water later." ”

"Zhou Song, what are these? Piranha? Ye Fan asked.

"I don't know, we've only seen dark shadows, and the old people in the village say that they are the guards of the water god. These things will only attack the living, and they will not touch the dead. Zhou Song said.

Before entering, these goddess guards came to dismount, and the people on the boat behind were much more honest. After the boat approached the Water God Cave, there were many stalagmites sticking out from the water around it, some of which were just out of the water, and some of which were several meters long and of different sizes.

Now is the beginning of the danger, if you are not familiar with the waterways here, the boat will easily break the bottom of the boat when it touches these stalagmites, and the water here will start to become irregular, and many currents will carry the boat into the huge stalagmites, or touch the sharp stalagmites underneath, causing the hull to break, or leaking.

"You all hold on to the handrails, there are a few currents behind us that will spin around us, and if we are thrown down, we will die." Zhou Song reminded everyone to immediately grab the handrail next to them.

Soon the ship will enter these currents that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, and this is the test of the boatman's ability, and the boatman must control the hull to follow the correct current, otherwise the ship will be destroyed and killed if it is swept into the danger zone.

Entering this undercurrent area, the speed of the boat increased significantly, Zhou Song held the bamboo pole with both hands, and at several turns, used the bamboo pole to resist the stalagmite, so that the direction of the bow of the boat changed and flowed to a safe waterway.

After several turns in succession, avoiding a few undercurrents, the boat entered a safe area, which was in the middle, where all the currents were concentrated, and became calm.

Zhou Song wiped away his sweat and said: "It's already half over, it will be more dangerous below, although there are only three curves, but there are more undercurrents and reefs, you must catch it, it is best to fix your body with a rope, the boat will rotate behind." ”

Zhu Zizhang didn't want to pretend to be forced at such a time, so he immediately put the safety rope through the handrail hole in the boat, and then hung the lock on his belt, Ye Fan also took out the rope, and after helping Ye Xi and Ye Tong hook the safety belt, the last safety buckle was hung on his belt. In this way, whoever is thrown down can be pulled back.
