Chapter 30: The Giant Face
The three of us should feel very fortunate that when it came time to run out of the Black Tower, the Headless Mother didn't chase it out for some reason, and later I guessed that it might be that every unknown prohibition prevented her from leaving the confines of this black pagoda, as if she was trapped here by a mysterious builder.
After leaving the Black Tower, I looked around and found that a white mist was rising under the Yin River, and there was no way to find Scar and Zhao Anyi, and the thunderous roar did not appear again, everything seemed so calm, as if it had never happened.
"I said Lao Li, isn't it that guy with Scar saw that beauty had the heart of a cat scratching a mouse, and secretly hid with Miss Zhao alone?" The old man couldn't find anyone, especially Zhao Anyi, and couldn't help but say indignantly, in fact, he should be sour in his heart.
Hou Jun corrected: "Scar shouldn't be as unbearable as you think, although he is Shen Laojiu's nephew, but he can stay to help us, which shows that he is still a responsible and affectionate person, don't forget, when he was outside, he said a lot of good things for us, so don't use your mind to guess others." ”
I didn't say anything, just as they were muttering, I vaguely heard the sound of waves coming from the Yin River under the chain, the sound of the water waves was not loud, but I could still hear it if I listened carefully.
The two of them were still arguing, and the sound of the water waves became clearer and clearer, and my expression couldn't help but become serious, and I made a 'shhh' gesture at them, and said in a deep voice: "The sound of the water below is getting louder and louder, this is a bit abnormal, I remember when I passed by here before I came, the water here is as calm as stagnant water." ”
When Hou Jun and Lao Dan heard this, they suddenly looked down in silence and followed my appearance, the spotlight was still very bright, and the waves on the black water surface were constantly undulating, as if there was a huge object moving under the water, and the light swept through, and found that under the bronze yin-yang pillar that was not very far away, there was a black shadow that was rising and falling with the waves, like a lonely boat, and there was a possibility of sinking at any time, I immediately motioned to them curiously, "Look at the front of the pillar, is there a black shadow in the waves." ”
"Don't make a fuss!" The old man said with a big grin: "It's just that Shen Laojiu's subordinates who fell in front of him, won't they float on the water when they die, let's hurry up and find An Yi and Scar, otherwise I'm always panicking in my heart, and I'm afraid that something will happen." ”
Hou Jun glanced at him, "I think you're worried that something will happen to them, I'm afraid your round figure is useless." ”
Ding ding~
"Don't say it, you hear the sound of chains, is it winding?" I stuck my saliva on my fingers and lifted it above my head, and found that there was not a trace of wind blowing at all.
So how can the gossip chain move?
The old man rolled his eyes angrily, and said disdainfully: "You two don't have enough IQ, if there is no wind, it means that someone has moved the chain......."
Speaking of this, Lao Dan and I suddenly widened our eyes and said in unison: "It's Zhao Anyi and Scar!" ”
Hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran towards the place where the sound had just made, and it didn't take long to see a figure squatting on the chain in front of him in the direction he came, I don't know if he saw the light in our hands, and raised his head, but he startled us, and after seeing that the face was Miss Zhao, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as Zhao Anyi saw us, his face suddenly burst into tears, and he hurriedly ran towards us. The old man was overjoyed, stretched out his arms and wanted to hug him, but Miss Zhao stopped two or three steps away from us, and before we asked where Scar was, she directly pointed to the Yin River below and cried: "When we came out, the old village chief was suddenly hooked into the river by something, and Scar pounced on the old village chief's feet, and the two of them fell together." ”
"Why is the old village chief with you?" I looked at her suspiciously, and the three of us had fallen into the hole and had no idea what was going on.
Zhao Anyi said: "Don't worry so much now, let's find a way to save people." ”
The old man pouted and said: "What else can you save, the water is so cold, most of the people have frozen to death, even if they don't freeze to death, they will drown." ”
"Scar is a man begging for a living on the water, so he shouldn't freeze to death so quickly." As I spoke, I suddenly slapped my head and exclaimed, "Damn, the figure near the bronze pillar just now can't be a scar." ”
Hou Jun nodded: "It's really possible, hurry up and save people, after all, Scar was still on our side at a critical time, and he left like this, but it seems that we are a group of ruthless and unrighteous people, there should be some ropes left by Shen Laojiu and them on the cliff in front, I will go over and find some alone." ”
After speaking, he quickly touched the flashlight alone, leaving the three of us to hide quietly in the dark curtain, no one made a sound, and soon almost a few minutes passed, Hou Jun rushed back, dragging the rope wrapped in more than ten circles in his hand, he tied the rope to the iron chain, and threw it vertically.
He bit the flashlight and was about to bow down when I stopped him, and I said, "Let me come, you can just watch from above, and if you find anything wrong, give me a wake-up call immediately." ”
Hou Jun also happily handed me the flashlight, and after he sorted out the rope, I carefully held the flashlight, coiled the rope and put it down little by little, the rope was more than 20 meters long, but the speed down was really fast, and it didn't take long to see Hou Jun and them.
When I got below, my palms were covered with cold sweat, and the sound of the waves here sounded a world different from the one above, like a thousand horses galloping, and the black river rushed with a cold breath.
I twisted the rope with my feet and slowly descended again, and now I could see the situation on the surface of the river, except for the waves, there was only a vast ocean left, and there was a black curtain to accompany it, like the boundless waters, deep and terrible.
I kept looking around the pillar, but I couldn't find Scar's figure, and thought he had sacrificed, just when I was about to go back and climb up, a wave suddenly slapped on the pillar, and a black shadow gushed out of the water, I hurriedly turned the light over, the black shadow was still struggling in the water, and when I saw the light, I kept shaking my arm to greet me.
It's Scar, that's right!
I immediately descended again, almost to the surface of the water, but it was still not far enough for Scar to grasp the rope, so my brain was hot, my legs twisted the rope hard, and the golden hook hung upside down, and stretched out my arms for Hou Jun to grab my hand and climb up again.
The raging rapids had exhausted him, and after a few attempts, he finally came up, and when Scar climbed up, I was about to roll over, when I suddenly felt that there was always a sight in the water.
Curious, I still looked down, and through a layer of black water, a huge face of unimaginable size appeared, with a gloomy and gray expression, like the eyes of a wheel looking upwards gloomily.
Scar yelled at me, "Don't look! ”
I was already nervous, and when he yelled, my hand suddenly trembled, and the strong light shone on the eyes of the giant face, and the next second, the pupils seemed to be stimulated by light, and contracted inward.
PS: Thank you very much *Ah Ye* for the non-stop tipping in the past few days, but I also deserve it, after all, the update is slow.
