Chapter 82: Borrowing the Waterway

I can almost imagine that this big fish lived here fourteen years ago, and when Grandpa's gang got into the water, the smell of blood attracted it, so it swam towards Grandpa and his group......

What happens after the big fish swims past?

Of course, the most seriously injured and impaired people in the team must have been the first to suffer, and in the process of killing someone in the group, the rest of the crowd rose up and finally killed the huge guy. And these human heads, which are located under the fish bones, are the people who were swallowed by the big fish at that time and did not have time to digest them.

I couldn't help but hiss, and said in my heart that the river here is wide, deep into the ground, and I don't know how many big fish and giant crabs have been bred in the water, but fortunately, the underground river has been diverted, otherwise I don't know what to encounter when I go down to this underground river. Immediately afterward, we bypassed the fishbones and headed upstream of the trickling yellow stream. The underground river meanders, the dark rocks and mud in it, the air is damp and dark, and the black rocks that have been washed away by the water reflect the ghostly light under the dim headlamps. As I walked zigzag, I felt that the terrain had risen a lot, and I found two more markers along the way, and some unknown small insects crawled in the mud from time to time, and a qiē seemed silent.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the divination of the Taoist priest, who said that in the tomb of the Earth Ghost King, there is also an evil ghost who has been watching our every move. The divination has proved its accuracy with its miracles, so is it really true when the evil ghost says it? If so, who is that evil spirit?

So I walked forward and asked Xiao Jing, "You can smell the corpse, can you feel the same kind?" ”

"The same kind?" Xiao Jing understood what I meant, and was furious: "I'm not dead yet, I still have thoughts, don't treat me as a ghost!" "I was a little surprised by her strong reaction, and at this moment, I vaguely understood something, maybe a person can only linger so much about life when he really dies.

She didn't answer my question, but the look on her face told me that she didn't have the ability I imagined.

Who is an evil spirit that stares at everyone and can lead everyone to death? I have no way of knowing the answer to this matter, so I can only forget about it for the time being. The road was damp and muddy, and it didn't take long for our clothes to be stained with yellow mud, which had accumulated deep underground for thousands of years, as fine as powder, and under the washing of the water, it formed something like paste.

By this time, I was already a little confused about the water-scarce river with all the twists and turns, but I remembered one main direction: the southeast. So I figured out the position of the compass, and the compass showed that our position had changed, not facing north, but completely turning our head towards south.

Grandpa's group should have been in a much more difficult condition than we are now, because we were walking on our legs, and they were supposed to be swimming in cold groundwater in December weather, which should have been an extremely difficult and dangerous journey for the injured people at that time.

I looked at my watch, and since entering this underground river, we have been walking in the winding river for nearly an hour, and our legs have already been covered with mud, and we have been stuck in the mud for a long time, and every time I lift my feet, I am exhausted, and I don't know where the end of this underground river is. Actually, I am not interested in the so-called seven lights, for me, the main thing is to find my grandfather's bones and find out the real cause of his death. My grandfather's old arms and legs, I don't expect him to be one of those three survivors.

If he really left the tomb of the Earth Ghost King alive, he would definitely not leave me alone, so although I don't want to admit it, I know that the chance of my grandfather surviving from this place is zero.

Where will he be? Was it eaten by a big fish? Maybe the bones are all digested, or maybe the bones are sinking into some puddle of yellow mud? Just thinking about it, Xiao Jing suddenly sighed and said, "Someone! ”

"Where?" Before I could react, Xiao Jing suddenly transformed, or she didn't care about using tricks such as blinding to take care of my aesthetics, at this moment, she 'changed' back to the look that was about to rot, and then her body sprang out quickly, like a gecko, crawling against the wall, swishing twice, and instantly rushing into the darkness.

I was taken aback, and ran wildly in the direction she crawled away, and after a while, I saw that on the mountain stone wall on the right hand, there was an irregular arched circular passage, and Xiao Jing's figure disappeared in a flicker at the entrance of the passage.

Did you go after that person?

How can there be anyone else in this place?

The arched passage was about six or seven meters high from the ground of the river, and I didn't have Xiao Jing's gecko skills, so I could only climb up along the uneven marks on the stone wall. Fortunately, my body is good, I used to go south and north, into the deep mountains and old forests, and often climbed rocks, three or two efforts, and I also climbed to the position of the arched passage.

As soon as I entered the passage, I immediately saw a familiar mark carved by a dagger on the stone wall.

I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that my grandfather's group had landed from here. This is a strange psychology, I chased the traces of my grandfather and his party, felt the danger they faced, and unconsciously seemed to be caught in it. Immediately afterward, I looked back from the mark, and then I found a yellow mark on the ground, which was the mud mark left by Xiao Jing.

This trail extends to the rear of the arched passage.

Did Xiao Jing really see someone in this place?

Who else could there be in this place but us?

I can't think of it for a while, so I can only catch up with it first. Although this arched passage appears abruptly, there is no need to think about it, it must also be part of the tomb of the Earth Ghost King, it is relatively rough built, and it does not seem to be used for people to walk. I can't help but think of what Feng Shui calls 'borrowing water'.

The most basic requirements of the tomb are to pay attention to the three mountains together, the jade belt horizontal waist, the so-called jade belt refers to the water, the three mountains can hide the wind, and the jade belt can accept the water across the waist. But in ancient times, especially in Guangxi, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and other places, there have always been small countries, and the division of territory between countries often changes.

This practice is also known as Yi, the so-called borrowing waterway, that is, in the place where the mausoleum is built, when there is no jade belt, the borrowing channel will be built in the northward position of the underground palace, and it is best to borrow the real living water, and it doesn't matter if you can't borrow it, because the water that can't be borrowed is called 'Sishen', which is borrowed by the basalt water beast.

I recalled the crater mountain landform outside the Lishan Treasure Palace, and said that thousands of years ago, eighty percent of this place was not prosperous, so such a waterway was built. The aqueduct can only be built under the main dungeon, and if I follow this aqueduct, I will definitely be able to reach the core of the dungeon soon. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel refreshed, and I ran along the borrowed waterway, paying attention to the mud marks on the ground.

The deeper you go, the fewer mud marks there are, and by the end they are almost invisible.

I was secretly surprised: Xiao Jing's real speed was very fast, and if it wasn't for the suppression of psychic incense, we wouldn't have been able to catch up with her. However, judging from the current situation, Xiao Jing obviously didn't catch up with that person, what kind of 'person' is that? Can't even catch up with ghosts? Could it be that Xiao Jing was wrong?

This aqueduct is very rough, and every once in a while, the stone wall will appear in the shape of Xuanwu, and there are wavy water lines, and the long passage extends in a straight line. After a series of rushes, my body was already overdrawn, and my heart was beating like a drum, panting, just as I was about to stop to take a breath, in the dim light, at the junction of darkness and light, a figure suddenly appeared!

When I looked at it, I found that it was Xiao Jing.

She was still undisguised, and her face almost rotted at me with a zombie-like look. I was startled, and my heart said that this woman is crazy, isn't she going to cooperate? While thinking, he hurriedly dodged back, but at this moment, Xiao Jing ran for less than two steps, and then suddenly fell to the ground, making a bang, and never got up again.

I settled down, my brain was pounding because of the intense exercise and exhaustion, staring at Xiao Jing who had fallen, and my heart was chilling for a while.

What's wrong with her? Fainted? Can a dead person faint? It was fine before, but why does it seem like you're going crazy all of a sudden? I stood cautiously in place for a while, and saw that Xiao Jing was motionless, and really had no intention of getting up, so I walked to her side and helped the person up.

In an instant, the unconcealable stench of corpses came to her nose, Xiao Jing's face turned pale, the wounds on her face rolled with dark red flesh, and her eyes closed. I subconsciously probed her snort and was shocked because she was out of breath. And I said to myself, "Will the dead die again?"

"Xiao Jing?" I endured the nausea and the stench and called her name. Xiao Jing didn't react, as if she was a real corpse. But I know that she didn't 'die', maybe just now, encountered some special circumstances. I shook her twice, but no one woke up, and a thought suddenly popped into my heart: Isn't now the best time to clean her up?

Staring at her closed eyes and decaying body, I squinted, my heart darkened and I was ready to do it. Emotionally speaking, it is really difficult to kill a person who has shared a bed with me for three years, but I know that if I hadn't proposed the corpse lamp to delay at that time, I would have already been given the result by Xiao Jing.

There can be no mercy to the enemy.

I said in my heart: Xiao Jing, let's write off the account between us, and I will send you on the road.

"Rubbing ——!" The dagger was unsheathed, and I aimed the tip of the dagger at Xiao Jing's throat.
