As soon as the lid of the stone coffin was opened, the three lotus women surrounded them fiercely, as if they wanted to tear the contents to pieces. I think that with only me and Maitreya, even if we have a Zhenhe mirror, it is estimated that we will not be able to deal with the three lotus women.

Maitreya couldn't bear it at all, and he was about to rush over, he stubbornly thought that in this stone coffin, it was the treasure body of King Yu after his death, but I felt that there was only one stone coffin, it was the car of Qimen River Zhenhe, and grandpa would not leave the sarcophagus if he died, and inside this coffin, it was definitely him.

"Don't shoot indiscriminately!" I stopped Maitreya lest he would come across with a bullet just as Grandpa peeked out of the stone coffin.

The lid of the coffin cracked a little more, and the three lotus women stood upright along the coffin, staring closely at the gap. Three lotus women, three mouths full of sharp teeth, even a cow can be torn to pieces. I couldn't help but worry, holding the crowbar, ready to get my hands dirty.

Bang

The lid of the coffin, which had cracked a gap, suddenly opened halfway, and a black shadow swished out of the coffin, knocking the three lotus women aside. Immediately after, the shadow that emerged from the coffin revealed half of its body, turned out of the sarcophagus, and fell to the ship's board with a thud.

At that moment, I was stunned, including Maitreya, and I was stunned with my mouth open. He thought that the stone coffin was the treasure of King Yu, and I thought it was my grandfather, but both of us guessed wrong, and what came out of the stone coffin was an old turtle with a diameter of more than one meter. The turtle is different from Wang Ba, although it looks a bit similar, but the people who often mix by the river can tell it at a glance.

It's the first time I've seen such a big old turtle, as the saying goes, a thousand-year-old turtle is 80,000 years old, and I don't know how many years I've lived when I grow to this size.

This big turtle looks slow, but in fact it is very fast, and the moment it hits the board, its body flips, and its two thick front legs are raised high, and it suddenly crushes a lotus woman. Immediately afterwards, the big turtle raised his head and opened his mouth and bit the neck of the lotus woman.

It was at this moment that I suddenly realized that this was definitely not a big turtle, the turtle had no teeth in its mouth, but this big turtle had two rows of sharp teeth in one mouth. The big turtle's teeth were sharp, and just like that, the neck of the lotus woman was bitten off, and the headless lotus woman still wanted to climb, but the big turtle suddenly kept his body, and the two front legs were raised and stepped down, as if he had the strength of ten thousand catties, and directly stepped on the headless lotus woman.

The three lotus women are completely self-inflicted, nothing to find trouble to lure out the big turtle in the stone coffin, as soon as the big turtle comes out, they can't clean up, the first lotus woman was trampled at the same time, the big turtle turned around, ran towards the other two lotus women, the area of the bilge is not large, it is occupied by large stones, the two lotus women climbed quickly, the big turtle ran in the body suddenly turned over, like a volley, the turtle back down, fell down.

This hit was very heavy, and the back shell of the big turtle seemed to be harder than a stone. The heavy body suddenly pressed the two crawling lotus women under him, and a large stone under the lotus woman was smashed into two. The big turtle turned over again, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, his mouth gnawed down, and the two lotus women who broke the bones were broken, and in less than a moment, they were mottled by gnawing.

Cleaning up the three lotus women is in a blink of an eye, and the speed is incredible. This big turtle was so fierce that when the three lotus women couldn't move at all, the big turtle also returned to normal, slowly turned around, and crawled towards the stone coffin. Then, it struggled to climb into the stone coffin, and the lid on top of the coffin clicked back into place, and the whole coffin was tightly closed.

What's going on? Maitreya and I looked at each other, and we were dizzy for a while. The two of them were wrong in their guesses, and they were so wrong that there was no one in the stone coffin at all, but a large turtle with two rows of fangs.

Mu stood stunned for a long time before I looked at Maitreya and said, "According to what you said, those messy things in the river are guarding this big turtle?" "

"I guess it should be."

Maitreya and I stood still, not knowing what to do. Things are completely unexpected, and people are stupid. Maitreya was still staring at the stone coffin, and I thought that this time I would risk my life to climb the ancient ship, and I might have to return empty-handed. The stone coffin must not be moved, and the big turtle inside is extremely ferocious.

"This matter" Maitreya stared at the coffin for a long time before saying to me, "There must be something wrong." "

", I've seen it."

"The problem is in this coffin." Maitreya swallowed his spit and said: "This boat must be a ship coffin, those paintings in the second-floor cabin are used to record the life and great cause of the coffin owner, if it is not the coffin of King Yu, there can be no painting about King Yu, but in the coffin, why is there a big turtle?" "

I smiled bitterly, with mixed feelings in my heart, I thought that I could meet the stone coffin and grandpa here unexpectedly, but things suddenly became unpredictable.

Just when the two of us were at a loss, we faintly heard a loud rumbling noise, and the whole ancient ship shook with this loud noise. The sound was not a mortar brought by Lao Yu's convoy, it sounded like a big gunfire to me.

"Someone has done something to the ancient ship." Maitreya was taken aback and said: "The four lotus women were deliberately let go, and now that they have not moved for so long, it is estimated that they are going to do it." "

The two of us immediately rushed out of the bilge and ran to the deck as fast as we could. When I got to the deck, I happened to see a huge triangular hook with a rope flying from the other side of the riverbank, and the tip of the triangular hook was sharpened and sharpened, and it pierced the deck at once. There were some shadows on the other side of the river, dragging the ropes tied to the hooks with all their might, and it seemed that they did not dare to go directly to the boat, so they dragged the ancient boat to the shore in this way.

Sou

As soon as Maitreya and I gained a firm foothold, the second triangular hook flew over again, and faintly, we could see a temporary winch standing on the cliff on the other side of the river, seven or eight people were rotating vigorously around the winch, and the ancient boat stopped in the middle of the river, and was hooked by two fishhooks, and slowly began to shake, as if it was about to be dragged away.

"Who are these people?" Maitreya squinted and looked at it.

I can't tell if this is the sect or the people of the Thirty-six Side Gates, but I can detect that if they want to make a move on the ancient ship, they are probably also the enemies of the Seven Gates. Maitreya observed, raised his hand and fired a shot, and the people on the riverbank were startled, and the winch immediately stopped turning. But within two minutes, a huge firearm slammed into the boat, filled with a piece of broken iron the size of a finger's belly, and if it was hit, it was no different from a bullet.

The two of us had no choice but to hide, retracting into the hatch. The triangular hook pulled the whole boat in a row, and we hid in it for less than a while, and the hook that was dragging the ancient ship with all our strength snapped into the air, and flew back upside down with the rope, followed by the slight movement of the ancient boat, and the bell on the bow of the ship jingled chaotically.

At this time, I felt that the whole ship had suddenly sunk, and the water bubbles on the surrounding river were tumbling, and there was no doubt that the ancient ship was going to sink and would re-enter the water.

"What to do!" The flesh on Maitreya's face shook, and he looked outside: "It's definitely not okay to go ashore now!" "

I didn't have an idea, the ancient ship was sinking very fast, and when I hesitated, most of the hull had already submerged in the water. We had no room to turn back, and we couldn't think of a way, Maitreya grabbed me and dragged me behind the hatch, closed the door tightly with his backhand, and said, "If you can drag it for a while, count it for a while, and when the ship sinks, let's find a way to get out, float downstream, and avoid those people." "

I think about it, and that's all I can do, but luckily the water is so good that I don't worry about drowning.

The bubbles on the surface of the water kept tumbling, and the whole boat immediately sank into the water, and it continued to sink, probably to the bottom of the river. Maitreya and I ran to the bottom barn, and picked up a flashlight to see if there was any movement in the stone coffin.

In fact, the average depth of the Yellow River is not too deep, and even during the flood season, the water level in some sections of the river is limited. However, the river in the section of the Liying River was a little deep, and when Maitreya and I had already run to the bilge, the ancient boat seemed to have touched something and paused.

"Did you get to the bottom of the river?" I thought that if it was about the same, I would leave the boat at this time and float down the river.

"I guess so." Maitreya always felt a little restless, looking back and forth, frowning for a while, and swallowing saliva for a while.

The stone coffin placed in the center of the bilge suddenly seemed to be suspended in the air, and a hole was pierced through the plank at the bottom, and the river rushed in, and the stone coffin sank down the hole, and the hole in the plank was not small, and the water gushed very quickly. Moreover, the water under the bottom of the boat swirled slightly, and Maitreya and I were immediately swept to the ground by the water rushing in, and then we involuntarily followed the water and were sucked out along with the stone coffin.

The membrane under the eyelids suddenly turned down to cover the eyes, and the light of the flashlight could not shine far, and in the drowsiness, I found that the ancient ship did not really sink to the bottom of the water, but was suspended seven or eight meters from the bottom of the river. The stone coffin slowly sank, and at this time, I suddenly noticed that there was a black whirlpool in the muddy water below.

The whirlpool was blurred, like a dark hollow, and the stone coffin was sinking into the whirlpool. Around the whirlpool, a large number of floating corpses gathered densely, circling around the whirlpool as the whirlpool rotated. Outside the floating corpses, there were fish and strange things, all of which were constantly rotating around the whirlpool.

Although I didn't see it very clearly, I at least saw the general idea, and at that moment, I suddenly realized that the messy things in the water, along with the dense floating corpses, were not actually guarding the boat? Not even guarding that stone coffin? The ancient ship was originally composed on the whirlpool, but it was forced up by Lao Yu and them. If you think about it this way, everything is really just guarding this vortex.

Or rather, the things that may exist in the guardian whirlpool.
