Xiao Wu's temporary betrayal made me feel very unhappy, but there was no way, in this matter, there are too many unexplainable things, and there are too many things that cannot be explained clearly, just like Xiao Wu's sudden disappearance, I think dozens of reasons can't explain his move, because he has no reason at all at this time, this place is separated from us, even if he is lucky, he found the maid who was left here by himself underwater or somewhere else, but this place is very dangerous, he once almost died here, aren't you afraid?

Empathy, if it were me, even if I found what I wanted, but, in order to leave safely and out of fear of this place, I would definitely follow the two of them to the death, and finding a way to get out alive is the king, but this Xiao Wu is completely out of common sense, just think about what Qianjue said, either he is a master of art and bold, since the thing is in hand, then there is no need to take the two of us to drag the oil bottle, hurry up and brush it alone, and then go out. Either he found something secret that can't be let us know in the maid seeking immortal map, because if we know that he found the maid seeking immortal map, then we must read it, so that we can understand it in our hearts, even if I can't understand it, Qianjue can always understand it, not to mention, in case it is the Huangquan ciphertext, then only I can understand the three of us, in case I have a second heart, he himself is not asking for hardship, so for these two requirements, he is likely to do this kind of unrighteous thing.

The clothes were finally dried and I felt much more comfortable to put them back on, and the bonfire was still burning strongly, which made me a little suspicious, so I asked Qianjue where he picked up these branches, Qianjue said that he just picked them up from a piece of broken stone on the opposite side, I pulled out a branch that didn't burn very badly, and stepped on the fire on it. Then I took the small part that was not burned by the fire to the miner's lamp and looked at it, under the illumination of the light, I saw that a small section of the branch with the thickness of my finger actually emitted a very soft black reflection, I don't know how to describe this feeling, anyway, the black halo seems very soft.

"This is not an ordinary twig, but a ghost tree in the ghost wood forest. In the alpine dense forest that generally grows, there is a white tree and a tree, that is to say, among a hundred trees, there may be a ghost tree, this kind of tree looks extremely ordinary, any tree species may appear ghost wood, this kind of ghost wood grows extremely slowly, a year is equivalent to ten years. Legend has it that it is not afraid of fire and water, so the ancient dignitaries and nobles cherished the precious objects, and there are boxes and boxes made of this thing at home, which generally contain some important secret letters or important objects related to life and death. ”

"No wonder these few can burn for so long, it turns out to be this." I said to myself.

Qian Jue probably didn't pay much attention to it, but after my reminder, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and he took it over and looked at it carefully. I put the burned section on the back of my hand and scratched it a few times, and the thick black vertical lines were very obvious.

"It's onigi. After this thing is burned, it is sandwiched in ink, so that the ink will not scratch in the water, which is more precious. ”

I said, "Then we haven't dug up the treasure, and how many more, let's take some back, and get out alive to find someone to help." This thing is not a cultural relic in the file, and it should be sold soon. ”

Qian Jue glanced at me, "That's not necessarily, it's priceless, it's useless." Although it is precious, no one wants to bid, it is also a rotten piece of wood, and it is useless. ”

I naturally understand what he said, there is no market for things that are too precious, even if the price is low, no one cares, the reason is very simple, no one knows the goods.

I said that we talked about it far away, but Qian Jue didn't think so, he looked at us, although it was dark and nothing, but the cool breeze made me feel that there should be a living space over there, which is commonly known as a living cave.

Qian Jue sorted out her backpack, took out some useless things, made a little space and stuffed in some ghost wood branches, turned around and smiled at me, "Look at the lighter, maybe these two things will save our lives at a critical time." ”

I nodded in agreement, and touched the two lighters in my jacket pocket, and then carefully checked the pocket containing the lighters, and after confirming that there was no problem, I held a burning ghost wood branch as a torch, although our flashlight can be used, but the power is insufficient, and the battery is also limited, in case we can't go out in a short time, the smear operation is very dangerous.

The ghost wood is quite resistant to burning, and I don't worry about it going out, the flames are not large, but the light is enough for us to hurry.

Before leaving, I had suggested that I should find a way to climb up the place where I had just fallen, and Qian Jue immediately rejected my proposal after hearing this, and his reason was that we didn't see anything like broken stones except for the broken bones that fell underwater, that is, this pit was not a simple landslide, it was very likely to be a mechanism, and I accidentally touched the mechanism, so I fell down.

When I heard this, I suddenly thought of the one I had just seen under the water, turned around and stood on the edge of the pit, my eyes were fixed on the water, Qianjue seemed to know my thoughts, but he still tentatively said, "What are you suspecting?" ”

I pointed to the puddle in front of me and said, "There must be a mechanism down here, I wasn't dazzled just now, the cyan jade thing I saw should be a mechanism, but I didn't remember the specific location at the time, plus there seems to be an undercurrent underwater, the flashlight is under the water during the time, if the undercurrent is out of the way, then, after you go down, you will definitely not find the place I just saw, the facts have proved this, when I went into the water for the second time, I didn't find it, which means that The underwater undercurrent must have something to do with the mechanism. ”

Qianjue looked at his watch and said, "You mean to go down and take a look." ”

Until the heart of the Yellow River is immortal, I nodded, and it was he who got off the equipment and hooked his finger at me, "Come on, if it doesn't work out, this time, we don't have much time." ”

I nodded in understanding, took a deep breath and jumped into the water, Qianjue and I quickly dived underwater, I tried to remember the location of the first time I saw the flashlight, but I didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment at the time, I just focused on the location where the flashlight appeared, and firmly believed that the flashlight would not move, so when I surfaced, I still believed that the location of the flashlight had not changed at that time, but in fact, it was not.

Qianjue and I each divided an area, my underwater breath-holding time is too short, after the pattern area, I floated up to breathe, and then came down to start looking, found a place, I made a mark, and then floated up to breathe, and then down to continue to find, back and forth like this a few times, people are exhausted, if I hadn't always believed that there was really a discovery underwater, I'm afraid I would have been lying on the shore and couldn't move.

Qian Jue because of the long time of breath-holding underwater, and he does things relatively cleanly, his own area was quickly cleaned up, there was no abnormality under the silt, at least in his opinion, it was normal, and my side was delayed a lot of time because I always went up to ventilate, at this moment, my cleaning area was less than half of the divided area.
