Chapter 22: The Dark River
joined Li Jiu's gang and temporarily saved his life. But what should Wang Zijin do, really let her go to bed with Li Jiu, this woman must not kill me, she still has to enter the underworld as soon as possible.
"Master Li, in fact, we already know the way to enter the underworld." I said to Li Jiu.
"Really, Brother Luo, you come and hear it." Li Jiu was attracted to attention.
and Wang Zijin, the fat man studied the possibility of entering the tomb, and had some conjectures, which can be used, "Many of the mechanisms in this tomb have been operating for a hundred years, and the operation of the organs requires energy. In ancient times, they did not have a steam engine, so much energy could only be borrowed from nature. I said.
"Borrow, how to borrow this, is it really like a fairy calling for wind and rain." Li Jiu's face was infatuated.
"How can the immortal care about this mortal matter, he just needs to let the water push his mechanism, just like the water pushes the waterwheel, and the waterwheel pushes the grinding plate, and the mechanism will naturally rotate."
"So how do you find the entrance to the underworld?" Li Jiu asked impatiently when he saw that I was sorry for him.
"Dark River, there must be a Dark River in Yama Mountain." I said firmly, but I secretly beat the drum in my heart: Old man, you must bless your grandson this time!
"Dark River." Li Jiu thought about it and shouted, "Bai Lao Wu, come here!" ”
"Boss, what's the matter?" It was Mr. Zhang, who I hadn't seen for a few days, and it turned out that his name was Bai Lao Wu.
Li Jiu asked, "You have been in Anzhi Village for the longest time, do you know that there is a dark river in Yama Mountain?" ”
"Dark River, I haven't seen it in person, but I've heard the old people in the village talk about it. There is a dark river in the Yanluo Mountain that leads directly to the bottom of the Anzhai River, and when there is a big flood every year, the dark river and the Anzhai River form a hedge, stirring up a whirlpool and sweeping away many people. Bai Lao Wu said.
"Brother Luo, what do you say?" Li Jiu looked at me like a dead man, as long as I don't say a way, there is no one named Luo Yan in this world.
I secretly complained in my heart, this winter, do you want me to go to the bottom of the river to find the dark river, even if I find it, I will freeze to death without diving equipment, old man, you will bless me so much!
"Boss, I remember." Bai Lao Wu seemed to invite merit and said, "Boss, do you remember the hole that collapsed when you blew up the gate of hell last time, I remember that there was a faint sound of running water inside, maybe it was the dark river." ”
"Yes, it's very possible, the dark river can't be too far away from the tomb, if it's too far, the mechanism won't work, we can go there and have a look." I reacted immediately, and said.
"Oh, go there now." Li Jiu listened to the order, but he couldn't see the clouds and sunshine on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Wiping the cold sweat, the back was wet, and I even had the heart to scold my mother, damn Bai Lao Wu, don't say such an important thing earlier, hide it as a treasure and enter the coffin!
A group of more than 30 people went on the road like this, our guns were handed over, and Li Jiu sent people to look at me and the fat man, which did not believe me. Wang Zijin was taken away and stayed by Li Jiu's side, I think his lust is fake, a person like him who is bent on seeking immortals will not be fascinated by beauty, his real purpose is to threaten us with Wang Zijin.
"Lao Luo, what should we do now?" The fat man, who had never opened his mouth, asked.
"Let's see." The fat man has not learned the black words on the road, and some people are staring, so he can't blatantly discuss countermeasures with him, so he can only watch and do it.
Through the ice of the Anchi River, it was not long before you reached Mt. Yama. The night Yama is shrouded in darkness, quiet and mysterious, like a girl covered in a black veil, which makes people yearn for it, but often gives people a fatal blow at the moment when the veil is lifted.
Bai Lao Wu led us to a collapsed hole, in the white snow, this is a black spot, bottomless, if you don't look carefully, you may really not find it. Leaning on the edge of the cave and listening carefully, there is indeed the noise of water flowing.
"Brother Luo, how is it, is it here?" Li Jiu asked.
"Well, there should be nothing wrong here." How do I know if it's here, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, if so, everything is easy to say, if not, it's a big deal to sleep here.
"Give the rope to the two big brothers and let them go down." Li Jiu said with a smile on his face, "Brother Luo, I don't know anything about this, I can only let you go down and have a look first, if yes, shout below, if not" Before he finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Zijin meaningfully.
Soon someone came up, tied the rope around our waists, took the flashlight, looked at each other with the fat man, and gritted his teeth.
The hole is very deep, it has to be more than 30 meters, and it is pitch black below, and the beam of the flashlight is ethereal, and it cannot be illuminated to the end. The further down it went, the louder the water became, and at the end it was as restless as thunder and deafening.
"Smack." Stepping on a small pool, the space under the bottom is very large, it can be said that the edge is invisible, and there are obvious chisel marks on the stone wall, which are indeed hand-chiseled here.
"Lao Luo, how many people do you have to dig this out?" The echo of the fat man reverberated back and forth in the hole.
"How do I know, according to the diary and the reflection of this hole, the underworld should be several times larger, and the entire mountain may have been hollowed out." I looked at the flow of water in the small pool, and a small stream of water entered from the front, and pointed to the front, and the fat man nodded and went to the front first.
"Tick Tick"
"Who!" Turning his head to look, there was nothing, it was pitch black, only the beams of light floating in the air, shining on the surface of the water, shining with layers of light.
"Lao Luo, what's wrong?" The fat man heard my shouting and turned to me to ask.
"There's someone in this hole, I just heard it." Looking around uneasily.
"Lao Luo, you heard it wrong, it may be the sound of water." The fat man said.
"Impossible, it's not the sound of water, this sound seems to have been heard somewhere, it's very familiar." But I can't remember how to think about it, "Be careful, that sound is dangerous." ”
The fat man nodded, and walked forward more carefully, none of us dared to be careless, in this unknown space, no one knew what was going on.
The sound of "boom, boom, boom" thunder became clearer and clearer.
"Lao Luo, the dark river, what a big dark river." The fat man shouted excitedly.
"What?" The noise was so loud that I couldn't hear it at all. Walking to the front, the cave came to an end, and a turbulent huge river appeared in front of me, more than ten meters wide, the river was like thousands of galloping horses, and the thunder was deafening. Throwing a boulder into the river, it was instantly washed out of the river a hundred meters away.
"Good boy in the middle of winter, if this person falls, will he still have a job?" The fat man sighed.
"You jump down and try." I said casually.
"Why don't you jump, Lao Luo, Lao Luo, there is light there." The fat man anxiously pointed to the upper reaches of the river, where there was a bluestone path for one person to walk, and a yellow halo turned.
My head was dizzy, my heart was about to stop beating, I was panting for breath, Venus stars rose in front of my eyes, and my feet fell into the river with a weak foot, what's wrong, are you going?
I felt like I was being held by something, "Lao Luo, why are you really jumping!" Lao Luo, what's wrong with you, speak! Lao Luo, Lao Luo! "The fat man put me by the side of the mountain and let me lean against it.
My lips are so heavy that I can't speak, and my eyelids are so heavy, I want to sleep. "Lao Luo, you wait here, I'll let them come down immediately, wait for me to come back, hold on!" This was the last thing I heard, and I looked at the figure of the fat man who was leaving in a hurry, and closed my heavy eyes.
