160 Creek Trailing
Hearing Allure say this, I was also a little surprised, this hasn't found the tomb yet, there is such a thing, if someone casts a spell on us, then what is the purpose of this person?
If you say he had malicious intentions, why didn't he kill us while we were asleep, because we slept for about four hours. During this period, it is enough to debon, cut the meat, chop and chop the three of us to make / human meat barbecued pork buns. But if you want to say that he has no ill intentions, who would have nothing to do to put us down and let us sleep by the stream for a few hours?
"From now on, the three of us will enter the first level of combat readiness!" I smiled and said, "Don't go it alone, and you can't eat together......"
Before I could finish speaking, Allure interrupted me: "What do you mean that you can't eat together?" ”
"For example, if there are four dishes and one soup on the table, I will only eat back pot meat, you will only eat sour cabbage, and the fifth brother will only eat tomato and egg soup, anyway, the three of us can't eat one dish at the same time." Let me give you an example.
"Why do you eat back to the pot meat, and I can only eat cabbage?" Allure said with disdain.
"It's all said and compared, okay, you eat back to the pot meat, I'll eat cabbage!"
"I don't eat meat, let's give it to the fifth brother." Allure's answer made me speechless for a while, if I hadn't beaten you, I would have beaten you to cry and say where Dad went.
I didn't know what to say when Allure interjected like this, and finally waved my hand: "That's it, uh, do you want to sleep in a room with us?" ”
"You think I need your protection?" Allure squinted at me.
"Uh, I mean, you come over and protect us both!"
"Come on, you, you have a once-in-a-millennium yin and yang physique, and you still need me to protect you? We've all been tricked by the stream, but you're not hit, huh! Allure rolled his eyes and pushed the door open.
"I didn't get hit, is it wrong to save you?" I complained to my fifth brother.
The fifth brother just laughed and went to wash himself.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Jin Luoer came and knocked on our door, and when she opened the door, she saw that she was still in the same uniform, but with a pair of sneakers under her feet, which looked quite old, but were quite clean.
I was still a little confused, scratching my scalp and asking, "What are you...... Ready to clean your room? ”
Jin Luo'er giggled: "Didn't you say that I would take you to Shoushan today?" ”
"It's still early, right?" I yawned and stretched.
Jin Luo'er blushed, turned her head, and said, "Go up the mountain early, the sun is not so hot." Besides, it's already nine o'clock, so it's not early! ”
When I saw Jin Luoer turn her head, I was still a little puzzled in my heart, what did I do when I turned my head in a dignified way? Is it interesting to talk to me with the back of your head? Then I seemed to think of something, looked down at myself, tsk, I was wearing a pair of underwear printed with a bald head on my body, and when I stretched my waist just now, it was estimated that the bald head was strong and the amplitude was relatively large, which scared her.
He smiled and said, "You wait for us downstairs for a while, and we'll come down right away." ”
Jin Luoer nodded and ran quickly.
When we packed up and went downstairs, Jin Luoer was sitting at the front desk waiting for us, and there was a girl sleeping next to her, looking at the back seemed to be very thin, seeing us coming down, Jin Luoer stood up and said to the girl: "Xiao Yun, I'm leaving." Don't sleep! ”
The one named Xiao Yun seemed to be asleep, and there was no movement at all, Jin Luoer smiled bitterly at us, and didn't care about her, walked out and took us to the restaurant for some breakfast, and after filling their stomachs, the four of them left the hotel and set off towards Shoushan. I asked Luo'er about the length of the creek and set the starting point of the trip at the very edge of Shoushan, at the exit of the creek. Lin Tao only said on the map that the stream in Shoushan was nearby, since this is the case, then let's follow the stream within the range of Shoushan.
Along the way, Jin Luoer muttered to us some allusions about Shoushan, compared to the historical city of Fengcheng, Shoushan has no cultural heritage at all, the only Jiulong Pool that can be handled, is just a legend. Is it possible that there are nine dragons in the hilltop pool, and they will appear on the night of the full moon? For some people, there is no distinction between rare and unrare animals in this world, only animals that can be sold for money and animals that cannot be sold for money.
What if it's a dragon? Are there still fewer legends about dragon slaying?
However, when Jin Luo'er said this, it aroused a trace of curiosity in us, not that we were curious about dragons, but about this Nine Dragon Pool.
Taoyuan Tomb is a mausoleum built by Liu An for himself before his death, Liu An was a prince and nobleman at that time, money and nothing else, the scale of this mausoleum must be extremely magnificent, and it is even possible that the entire belly of Shoushan has been hollowed out by Liu An.
So, the question arises, if the entire Shoushan is Liu An's mausoleum, then what is he doing with a lake on top of his mausoleum? There are plains for hundreds of miles, and where does the water from this lake come from? Moreover, we drank the water from the creek yesterday, and the water quality is clean and clear, it cannot be accumulated rainwater, it is definitely underground water deep underground. As for us being tricked, it was a spell cast by someone, and it had nothing to do with the water quality.
Told the fifth brother about his doubts, and the fifth brother smiled slightly: "This is not strange, but I don't know how to tell you, it is the principle of atmospheric pressure, connector, etc., anyway, it is not unusual for the lake on the top of the mountain to be connected to the groundwater." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jin Luo'er in front of him, and whispered to me: "Let me tell you, all mechanisms need power, there was no electric equipment in ancient times, if there are mechanisms in the mausoleum, then the power source of these mechanisms is most likely to be water power, of course, some of the Tao is profound, you can use the mana of the magic circle to drive the mechanism." ”
Listening to what the fifth brother said, I somewhat understood that this lake may be the groundwater specially drawn out by Liu An, specifically to provide power for his mausoleum organs, thinking of this, I can't help but feel a sigh in my heart, it is estimated that this Taoyuan ancient tomb must be densely packed with organs.
The four of them walked along the stream, and after a while they came to the meadow where we slept yesterday, and it was strange that in the meadow where we were sleeping, there was actually a piece of grass that had withered, as if it had been ironed by a huge circular iron, showing a circle with a diameter of five meters, and the center of the circle was the position where the three of us lay down yesterday.
I sighed in surprise, glanced at Xiao Qingcheng, and saw her squatting next to the circle, pinching one of the dead grasses, putting it in front of her nose and smelling it, muttering for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This is someone who used a large-scale spell, judging from the situation of this withered grass, this spell is similar to 'Nine Turns of Resurrection', with the help of the power of nature to let themselves have more mana, the reason why this grass withered is that their vitality has been borrowed by this spell." ”
The fifth brother and I looked at each other with a wry smile, and what Allure said was like listening to a mythological story, just like Darwin was talking to two pig killers about how animals evolved.
When Jin Luo'er heard Allure say this, a strange look appeared on her face, and she asked me half-loudly, "Boss Zhong, what are you talking about?" ”
"Hehe, we are the staff of the 37th Research Institute of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Engineering of the People's Republic of China, and the main research object is various superpower phenomena in life, which is a bit similar to CCTV's 'scientific exploration'." I rambled on changing the subject.
Hu Xu also has to be skilled, from Jin Luoer's conversation, it can be seen that she has the level of education, not to mention a doctorate and a master's degree, at least she must have studied in college. Therefore, the institute is more acceptable to her, as for the number 37, why not say 3, 6, 9 this kind of number, is because those numbers are too common, easy to cause others to mumble, and the number 37 gives people a higher authenticity.
Jin Luoer sighed and didn't ask anything else.
At this time, Xiao Qingcheng took out a bamboo dragonfly-like thing, the two wings on it were red and blue, the material was neither gold nor silver, and under the sunlight, these two wings flashed with dazzling light.
Insert this thing into the green grass next to it, and after a while, the grass below the bamboo dragonfly began to slowly wither, and the red and blue dragonflies seemed to be absorbing the vitality of the grass, and the two wings became more and more enchanting/colorful. The stick that supported the wings had a green line on it that rose slowly, like mercury in a thermometer.
When the degree of withering in the grass was exactly the same as that inside the Great Circle, Allure pulled out the dragonfly, looked at the position of the green line on the stick, closed his eyes and thought about it, opened his eyes and said, "The time when this spell was cast was around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. ”
I thought to myself, around five o'clock yesterday afternoon, isn't this the time period when we all lie here and sleep? Could it be that while we are sleeping, someone is casting a spell around us? By the way, when I got up, there were traces of a fight on the grass around me, could it be that someone cast a spell during the fight?
Allure put the dragonfly away, stood up, and said to me, "Okay, leave it alone, let's move on." ”
Along the stream, tracing the stream, the scenery along the way is incomparably beautiful, but unfortunately the three of us have no intention of appreciating it, because there are two big questions in our hearts, who cast the spell to make us drunk and lie on the side of the stream, and who is around us to cast a spell to absorb the vitality of the force?
Jin Luoer saw that I didn't make a sound, and I also moved forward with my head bored, just like that, the four of them didn't speak, walked for almost an hour, and walked halfway up Shoushan, turned a corner, and I saw a very huge 'green wall'.
This 'green wall' is almost as high as a four-story building, and if it is wide, it is at least thirty or so wide, and at first I was surprised by what this green wall is, but when I got closer, I realized that this should be a stone wall, which is crawling with green vines, and from a distance, it is a green wall.
The creek has come to an end here, its source is this huge stone wall, come to the front and see, there is a small circular pool with a diameter of about five meters below the stone wall, the water of the small pool is extremely clear, so clear that we can't be sure how deep the water is, there are three small holes in the middle of the pool, bubbling / bubbling out of the spring.
