Chapter 177: Deep Pool Water Cave
84_84070 Valley of the Five Elements?
I didn't understand what she meant, He Xiaochen pointed to the front and said: "Think about it, these valleys are different, the first valley is lush with grass and trees, which is obviously wood, the second valley seems to have been burned by fire, this is fire, the third valley in front is full of loess, this is earthy, and this is the fourth valley, there are swords and blades everywhere, obviously, this is golden." ”
She paused and continued: "If it is according to the principle of the five elements, then wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, and gold gives birth to water, and these valleys we pass through just match, so I conclude that if there is another valley in front, it must be the mirror lake, even if it is not the mirror lake, it will have a great connection with the mirror lake." ”
I wondered, "But even if what you said is right, is this valley arranged according to the five elements artificially built or born naturally?" What is the significance of its existence? ”
No one could answer this question, Lao Pan waved his hand and said: "No matter how much, if you want to solve the answer to the question, you can only go deep into the inside of the problem, to understand the ultimate truth, let's go, just follow what Xiao Chen said, go to the next valley." ”
We stopped talking and continued on our way, soon finding a passage on one side to the next valley.
This time, as soon as we walked into the valley, we heard the sound of rushing water, and I was immediately overjoyed, I was really guessed by He Xiaochen.
Walk in to see, I was stunned again, I saw that the front is not the mirror lake, but a waterhole more than ten meters square, a waterfall rushes down the mountainside, a steady stream of waterholes, on the ground in the valley, there are dozens of criss-crossing waterways, cloth into a strange pattern, the waterways are nearly two meters wide, it seems to be very deep, the water in the waterhole flows in the waterway, but eventually still flows into the waterhole.
We were very surprised when we looked at the scene in front of us, He Xiaochen seemed to be very interested, raised the camera he carried with him, clicked and took several photos, I looked a little speechless, and asked her: "You really deserve to be Wang Yipai's apprentice, shoot wherever you go, but just take a few valleys, have you taken all of them?" ”
He Xiaochen shook the camera proudly: "Of course, I even took pictures of the mirage of the cliff in front of me, as well as the old dragon tree lying on the ground, I can study it well when I go back." ”
"Old Nagarjuna, you really know how to come up with a name."
As the two of us were talking, Lao Pan looked around and asked, "Is this what you call Mirror Lake?" ”
I shook my head: "No, we are talking about Mirror Lake more than this, but without this weirdness, how can there be a waterhole here, is Mirror Lake connected to this place, or is it that we are in the wrong place?" ”
As I spoke, I looked at Ansari and asked him for advice, but instead of speaking, he went up and looked at the pool and said, "The water doesn't seem to be very deep, but the waterfall above it is constantly flowing, where has all the water gone?" ”
Lao Pan said: "This is not strange, usually there are underground waterways under the waterfall pool, so as to ensure the balance between the waterfall and the waterhole, otherwise there will be more and more water, and this place will already become an ocean." ”
"But where does the water come from?"
I said to myself, looking up, although the waterfall is rushing down from the middle of the mountain, but in fact the drop is only more than ten meters, it can only be regarded as a small waterfall, and the water flow is not very urgent.
We went around the valley and found that this place seemed to be the end, but He Xiaochen's eyes were sharp, and as she walked, she found a waterway, which seemed to penetrate directly from the ground into the mountain wall, and the water entered from it, and she said proudly: "If I guessed correctly, the place where this waterway leads is the valley of wood that we met when we came down, this is called the five elements are born together, and the cycle is endless, and the reason why the valley is lush is because of this water." ”
I looked at the waterway and wondered, "But why is there only some low grass in this valley, well, it doesn't matter, but what do you say?" What does the endless cycle of the five elements mean? ”
In fact, not only this valley, the whole world we are in, and even all things, are composed of the five elements of the elements, only the five elements cycle each other, there is the vitality of the world, I think, maybe the meaning of this five elements valley is a symbol of this meaning."
I don't understand He Xiaochen's words, I think that whether it is meaning or symbolism, there must always be a purpose in the end, otherwise, who would be idle and have nothing to do to make such a valley out?
We walked along the waterway and returned to the waterhole, but at that moment, a few bubbles suddenly popped up in the waterhole, as if there was some movement underwater.
Ansari and I noticed the change in the waterhole at the same time, and I was about to say something, when Ansari suddenly said, "I'll go down and have a look." ”
He was about to jump down, but I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You're too brave, so check the situation and go down, if there is any monster water snake in it, won't you suffer?" ”
An Sali showed a smile on his face, and gestured at the short knife in his hand: "If there is a water snake, it just skinned for lunch." ”
With that, he took off his backpack, took off his coat, and jumped into the pool.
Then I saw a few bubbles popping out of the pool, and then they exploded with a snap, and gradually calmed down.
On the ground, only Ansari's coat and backpack were placed, as if he had never been here at all.
It felt a little weird, and I couldn't help but worry about Ansari in my heart, because normally, if there wasn't anything weird about this kind of place, it wouldn't be normal.
But after only two minutes or so, Ansari suddenly came out of the water, wiped a handful of water from his face, pointed to the back of the waterfall and said, "There is indeed a dark hole over there." ”
It turned out that he had discovered the dark hole, and as he spoke, he climbed up, packed up his things, and said with some excitement on his face: "If I guess correctly, the dark hole is the waterway leading to Mirror Lake, and the water in it should be the water of Mirror Lake." ”
Lao Pan's eyes lit up: "Okay, in this case, we will go through the dark passage immediately, Brother An, I have to trouble you to lead the way." ”
Ansari nodded, and was about to walk to the back of the waterfall, but I was a little embarrassed and said, "Well, that I can't swim, I'm afraid it's difficult to cross this waterway." ”
Ansari looked back and smiled, "It's okay, although this waterhole is a few meters deep, the secret passage is located in a cave behind the waterfall, about a meter deep, and it will pass through the water." ”
I slapped my head, and in that case it would be fine.
"Looks like I'm going to have to practice swimming this time."
I said with a wry smile, and without hesitation, we walked with Ansari to the waterway behind the waterfall.
Looking around the back, sure enough, as Ansari said, there was a cave behind the waterfall, about three or four meters high, and the water in the pool poured into it, and Ansari jumped down first, and the water really only reached his waist.
I was relieved, so I jumped down with a few people, only to feel that I was stepping on uneven rocks under my feet, and inside the cave was dark and rumbling, and the sound of rushing water echoed in it.
Lao Pan casually turned on the flashlight, looked inside, and saw that the cave was not very big, and a waterway meandered forward, and he couldn't see the situation in the depths clearly.
This time, it was Ansari who led the way, He Xiaochen and I walked in the middle, Lao Pan became the broken queen, he and Ansari each held a flashlight, constantly scanning the situation in the cave, I held the Tiangang sword, paying attention to the surrounding movements at any time, I tried it when I looked at the thorn bushes just now, this sword is very sharp, although I haven't tried to sharpen iron like mud, but if there is a monster suddenly drilled in this water, I am still sure to cut off its head with a sword.
As we walked, there was a sudden noise in the water in front of us, and Ansari hurriedly raised his hand to signal us to stop, and there was silence in the cave, but at this moment, suddenly a black shadow jumped out of the water in front of us.
As soon as I saw this black shadow, I immediately pulled out the Tiangang sword, but saw that this black shadow did not rush towards us, but turned around and ran all the way along the stone wall of the cave.
I was slightly stunned, but suddenly understood, and shouted: "Everyone chase after you, this seems to be the black shadow that led us into the valley!" ”。
