Chapter 438: Undercurrents at the bottom of the river
"This is it, the River Temple is just below the river!"
He Lao Qi took us to the Yellow River, and as soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to point to the river and say to us.
We took a look at the Yellow River in front of us, and it was really like what He Lao Qi had said before, because there was a hillside behind us, and when the Yellow River passed through here, it was blocked by the hill, so the river made a bend, and a river bay was formed here.
The water in the bay is not turbulent, and there are many dead branches and rotten leaves floating on it, which looks like a bottomless pool. For those who often live by the river, they may know that the more turbulent the river, the shallower the river, and the calmer the river, the deeper the river, and the water in this bay is unfathomable.
Since we didn't have any diving equipment, we were a little worried, so I said, "Helaoqi, how deep is it here, will it be impossible to go down?" ”
Since He Laoqi is just an old man who is greedy for money, and not the kind of good person who helps others as I imagined, then I naturally don't call him "old gentleman old gentleman".
Although Lao Liu Tou came here for money, he didn't want to really lose his life here, and he was also worried: "We don't have an oxygen cylinder, and others have not yet gone down to the bottom of the river, so they will be suffocated." ”
He Laoqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have been down to this place, and it is only ten meters deep, as long as you hold it in one breath, it will be safe to open the stone gate directly." ”
"Really?" Xiao Xu questioned.
"Why am I lying to you, I will also go down with you, I have no bottom in my own heart, where will I dare to go down the river?" Seeing that we didn't trust him very much, He Laoqi seemed to be a little unhappy.
Seeing that He Laoqi has said everything to this point, we have no choice but to believe him, after all, what he said is right, if he is not sure at all, it is impossible for him to go down with us.
At this time, we asked He Laoqi if he had the key to open the stone door with him today, and if he didn't bring it, he had to wait for him to go back to get it.
He Laoqi didn't speak, he touched it from the pocket of his clothes, then took out an object, gestured to us, smiled, and said, "Take it." ”
"Oh? This is the key that opens the stone door? "The three of us were very curious, but He Laoqi wrapped the object in a red cloth, and he couldn't see what it was inside, only that it was about the size of a palm.
He Lao Qi said: "I took this thing from the altar of the River Temple at that time. ”
Curious, I asked him, what is this, it doesn't look like a key, does it?
Lao Liu Tou and they were also curious, and asked He Lao Qi if he could open the red cloth for us to see, and open his eyes.
How do you know that the river Lao Qi is not very happy, as if he is afraid that we will rob it, saying that things can't easily see the light, and when they get underwater, they can naturally use this place to open the stone gate.
Seeing that the old seven gods of the river are mysteriously reluctant to show others, we naturally can't force him to show us, maybe he is really worried that we will snatch it, so he is still a little wary of us.
Since the river was only a dozen meters deep, and we had the key to open the stone door in our hands, we just did it, so we took all the things we had to use, and then we were ready to go down to the river.
Everyone brought diving flashlights, waterproof glasses, sapper folding shovels, and daggers and other self-defense things, and I also carried the yellow cloth bag that I often walk on my back, because there are indispensable ghosts and evil spirits below, and it is naturally better to bring magic weapons and spirit runes. Of course, things like those runes that are afraid of water, pen and ink, etc., I have sealed them in a sealed bag in advance, so they will not get wet when they go into the water.
The four of us stood on the edge of the river, and because this place was adjacent to the rocky mountain, there was a stone cliff under our feet, which had been washed and soaked by the river all year round, and the stones on the river cliff had turned dark black. The four of us carefully climbed down the stone cliff, and then He Lao Qi hit the head, and I, Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu followed behind, and jumped into the bottomless Yellow River together......
The water in the Yellow River is a bit cool, but fortunately it's not winter. When I first entered the water, I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't see anything at all, because the river was a little muddy and there was a lot of sediment. But as I slowly dived, the river became cleaner and cleaner, and I turned on the diving flashlight, but fortunately, none of us were separated, and they were all in front of me.
After about ten seconds of diving, I saw a large yellow piece of something exposed below, and as I continued to get closer, I realized that this large yellow thing turned out to be a roof paved with gold. I was a little excited in my heart, because it showed that what He Lao Qi said before was true, and there was indeed a river temple built with gold tiles under the river.
Soon, we stood on the top of the river temple, because we were holding our breath, so we didn't dare to stay, even if there were tons of gold in front of us, it was impossible to look at it for a long time. It's not that we're not excited, it's that we don't have time.
However, although I thought so, several of them stopped, and even stood on the golden roof and refused to go. I couldn't speak underwater, so I shone a flashlight on them, and Lao Liu pointed at He Laoqi, as if to say that it wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that He Laoqi didn't leave.
So, I hurriedly used a flashlight to shine on He Laoqi, found that he looked confused, pointed to the direction of his left hand, and then pointed to the direction of his right hand, and then made an expression that I didn't remember.
I'm in a hurry now, obviously, Helaoqi forgot that the stone gate is on the left side of the river temple, or on the right.
Just then, he pointed to me to the left of the river temple and motioned for us to go first.
Holding his breath under his hands, how could there be time to delay, if it wasn't for the underwater, I would have scolded him and asked him to lead the way, not only did he not remember the way, but he even asked us to take the lead.
However, it was impossible to have time to get angry at this time, so I quickly dived towards the left side of the river temple, and Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu followed behind me. Passing through the roof of the gold-paved river temple to its left, the flashlight shone down, black, bottomless, I couldn't think about it so much, so I dived down.
But this dive I felt that something was wrong, because not only was it bottomless, but it looked like another river hole. When I continued to dive down to this river cave for two or three meters, I was almost scared to death, because I saw a big wheel under this river cave!
Yes, there is a large runner installed in the river cave, and the runner is lined with dense sharp blades and sharp weapons. At this time, this river cave seems to be an underground river, and the river water is pouring down, forming a kind of suction, which makes the wheel rotate continuously, and this suction force also sucks me to the wheel.
Seeing this, I was really scared half to death, and the three souls and seven spirits were almost scared. If this person is sucked in, the sharp blades on the wheel will not twist the person into several pieces?
At that time, I also understood, I remember that He Laoqi said that someone went down to the river before, and as a result, he turned into a person like being cut by a knife, and he became two pieces and floated up. The people who were cut into several pieces at the beginning of the relationship were not killed by ghosts, but were hanged by this wheel!
Thinking of this, I was so scared that my urine was about to come out, and I immediately made a wow, and I turned over and went upstream. At this time, the old Liu Tou above me saw me rushing back with a frightened face, and immediately stopped and looked at me with a puzzled expression. But I couldn't speak in the water, so I had to gesture to him violently, gesture to his neck with my hand, and then dived back.
However, no matter how hard I tried to swim upstream, it gave people a sense of powerlessness, because the suction force under my body kept competing with me, and I swam a meter down, and as soon as I relaxed, the person sucked down again, as if there was a water ghost under my feet who grabbed my legs, and pulled down hard.
To tell you the truth, I really never thought that there would be such a terrible thing at the bottom of this river, I would rather encounter a water ghost than encounter this kind of killing weapon. How did this kind of wheel end up here?
At this time, I can't think about these reasons, I only know that this thing is man-made, and it is deliberately used to harm people who go down the river.
I've never been so scared, I've never been so scared, and I even suspect that my previous life might have been planted in this wheel.
Maybe it's because of the desire to survive, or maybe it's at the moment of life and death, people can stimulate their deep potential. I was like a madman, so violently that I continued to stir the water upwards without breathing, and at last I finally swam up and escaped from the horrible suction.
As soon as I escaped the terrifying suction, I dived directly back to the roof of the river temple in a few clicks, and at this time, they also knew that they had chosen the wrong way, and then the river Lao Qi led us to the right direction, through the roof, and then we saw the flat bottom of the riverbed under our bodies, so we fell.
I saw that the bottom of the river was all paved with bluestone, a stone temple more than four meters high was built in the water, and the stone door of the stone temple was engraved with the three big characters of "River Temple" I don't know how many years have passed, and it is still clearly visible today.
