Chapter 108: Biting the phoenix into the water

The abyss was still pitch black, only the strange jade bridge, high across it, gave people a very strange feeling.

After a while, Lu Su said: "There is no entrance and exit behind this jade bridge, I think if we want to find a breakthrough in the golden coffin, we must go down to the abyss, explore what kind of realm is under this abyss, and by the way, we can also bring up our equipment bag." ”

Tofu nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the equipment bag must be brought up, people are iron rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, and you will have the strength to work when you are full." ”

I said, "You know how to eat, the situation under this abyss is weird, I'm afraid it's not an easy place to go." ”

Tofu shrugged his shoulders, pointed at Gu Wenmin, and said, "A few of us big men can starve, but Gu Da Beauty has nothing in from beginning to end, and if she continues like this, she should starve into a white bone spirit, and no matter how dangerous it is, she will have to go." I smiled secretly in my heart, knowing that I wanted to eat tofu myself, but I used Gu Wenmin as a disguise.

The two of us still have a tacit understanding, and understand that Tofu is singing a double reed with me, so he answered: "You are right, but I have a shoulder injury, and it is inconvenient to climb the rope, I'm afraid it will not be easy to go down, why don't you go?" ”

Tofu said, "No, no, I'm afraid of heights." ”

Ghost Feng hissed his hand and said, "Didn't you kid still have to die or live before, and you had to go down to catch people?" Why are you afraid of heights at this time? Don't be slippery, you have to do your part. ”

As far as Tofu's skills are concerned, going down is almost like sending him to death, and I just wanted to help him deal with Feng Ghost Hand, when I heard Lu Su say: "Brother Chen is injured, Xiaodou...... Xiaodou is afraid of heights, I'll do this, you guys wait here, what's the situation, I'll send you a signal. ”

It was his words that Tofu and I were waiting for, and the two of them pretended to excuse themselves, and then watched Lu Su follow the rope and gradually slide into the abyss.

I teased and said, "Xiaodou, isn't the surname Lu your idol, are you embarrassed to let your idol go to the thunder?" ”

Tofu looked stern and said, "It is precisely because he can go to thunder that he has become my idol." ”

Feng Ghost was speechless beside him, Tofu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, okay, don't look like you despise us, aren't you yourself shrunk your head." "In the final analysis, people are selfish, and in order to save Gu Wenmin, Tofu and I naturally didn't care about any danger or not. And now there is no need to go into the hole, since there is no need for that, why take that risk, to be the first bird? Including Feng Ghost Hand himself, he was bent on pushing this life to the tofu.

We are not stupid, how can we let him get his wish?

There is a way that those who can work harder, and the three of us will play it down, and this task will fall to Lu Su. He seems to be willing, I have always been dark-hearted, and I am thick-skinned when necessary, but Lu Su is so righteous and Lingran, to highlight that we people are too despicable. Tofu sighed: "In this world, there are always some people who have noble character and are destined to be heroes and admired. ”

I said, "And then?" ”

Tofu shook his head and said: "But good people don't live long, disasters will last for thousands of years, heroes will eventually become martyrs, I would rather be a bear than a martyr." ”

Gu Wenmin couldn't cry or laugh while listening to it, and said that I and Tofu had a bunch of crooked reasoning.

The four of us plus the woman surnamed Ren waited by the platform for only a few minutes, and there was a secret signal from below, and the rope shook three times, which was a safety signal that we had agreed on in advance, and it seemed that there was no danger under this abyss.

After another moment, Lu Su crawled back along the rope, but he was soaking wet, his chest was bulging, and he seemed to be carrying something.

When the people came ashore, Lu Su shook his clothes, and three fresh fish that had been disemboweled, and the gills were scraped and scaled.

I immediately understood and asked, "Is there groundwater down there?" ”

Lu Su nodded, took off his shirt to reveal his lean figure, and began to wring the water on his clothes, Tofu looked at him, and then at his muscleless arms, with a melancholy expression, and began to worry about his eighth spring.

I only listened to Lu Su's description, under the abyss, it turned out to be a large space, filled with water, the water was very deep, and the waves were not exciting.

Because the place was too big, it was impossible to salvage the previous equipment bag, so he temporarily caught a few fish in the water and used them as food. Although this sounds easy, it is actually very difficult to catch fish in the water with bare hands, I tried in the river when I was a child, and only succeeded twice, Lu Su was able to catch these three fish, it must have taken a lot of effort.

A few of us thanked each other and skewered the fish with movable steel pipes and grilled them on solid fuel. The fish meat is relatively delicate, and if the heat is not well mastered, it will be burnt, and the tofu will stuff all the fish directly into my hands, saying that professional things will be done by professionals, in order to prevent my barbecue skills from being rusty, I will be given a chance to exercise.

While I was grilling the fish, I heard Lu Su say, "After eating in a while, we have to go down and explore." I noticed that there seemed to be something underneath the water, but I didn't have enough light to see clearly. ”

Since there is a breakthrough, we can't be lazy, so Tofu said: "I think let Gu Da Beauty and Lao Chen stay, both of them are injured, let's go down." ”

Lu Su said: "Brother Chen still goes with him. ”

Tofu probably saw that I was injured and worried that something would happen to me, so he said angrily: "Hey, what do you mean, my brother was injured and poked a hole by Lao Feng's dagger, can he go into the water?" Grandpa Dou, I take one enemy to ten, one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, can't I go with you! ”

Lu Su smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and said softly: "There is a place to settle down below, so we don't have to stay here, people are scattered, but it is easy to have accidents." If I'm not wrong, the Golden Coffin Eight Achievements are down there, but I have to let Brother Chen take a look. "It turned out that the underwater shape was very peculiar, as if there was some kind of man-made situation in it.

Although Lu Su is skilled, he does not know much about the situation of some tombs. Back then, Bai Laosi took Yang Fang's secret book and became popular on the road, and I was also the successor of Bai Laosi, so Lu Su wanted me to go down and take a look.

After the discussion, the fish in my hand was almost grilled, but fortunately, the fish was large, although there were only three, and everyone was full, so even if they packed up their things, they went down the rope one by one.

Unexpectedly, this abyss is not as deep as we imagined, only about fifteen or sixteen meters deep, but the water vapor below is thick, and there is a layer of dense fog that does not disperse, so the light cannot penetrate at all, so it seems bottomless. We went down to the end, there was no way to go, we could only swim to the right, and after swimming a few meters to the right, there was a raised natural stone platform, everyone got up and avoided it, gathered the light source in their hands into one place, adjusted the brightness to the maximum, and then began to observe the surrounding environment.

I saw that the whole water cave was in an east-west direction, with a large head and a thin tail, like a big snake, and the head of the snake was where we are now, showing a triangle.

Soon after I observed, I saw some doorways, and I couldn't help but secretly explain to everyone that the water snake in front of me was a pattern of biting a phoenix into the water.

Originally, the phoenix was a divine beast in the fire, and the most taboo thing was water, and the divine spring happened to be at the place where the phoenix turned its head, like a pearl, and like a phoenix's drinking place, which was originally excellent.

It's a pity that this underground is a karst cave, and countless underground water tributaries have naturally formed, so that the phoenix has no place to stay.

There is a lot of water and snakes, this feng shui snake, the snake head is huge, as if it has just swallowed something, as if it is about to swallow, it undoubtedly collides with the feng shui of the phoenix turning its neck, if the two meet together, it must be the big snake swallowing the tired fire phoenix. The people buried here are like young phoenixes entering the mouth of the demon snake, and if someone dies here, it must be a soul.

At first glance, this snake array seems to be naturally formed, but a closer look at the surrounding stone walls shows that there are traces of artificial carving, which is obviously deliberately done when the mausoleum was built.

Put this place in such a situation, but whoever dies here will inevitably be driven by a fierce snake, which can be said to be a corpse when you see a corpse.

I instantly understood that the reason why Ren Ling turned into a flying corpse in an instant must be related to this 'underwater demon snake'.

After hearing this, Lu Su said again: "Then can you deduce the location of the golden coffin?" ”

There's nothing I can do about it, grandpa's work notes, after all, they contain a limited amount. What's more, 'the coffin does not see the water' is a tradition for thousands of years, and it is contrary to common sense to put the coffin underwater, so where can I see anything from the water potential. It stands to reason that there is a 'water snake demon' here, and the golden coffin must be far away from it.

If that's the case, then we're really being played to death by Princess Geger this time,

While explaining to everyone, I turned the light and gradually hit the light source towards the water, however, at this moment, the water actually reflected the reflection of the jade bridge above under the light.

You know, we are fifteen or sixteen meters away from the jade bridge overhead, and the light can't hit the top of our heads at all, how can the reflection of the jade bridge appear underwater? This phenomenon is fundamentally a breakthrough in the common sense of physics. For a while, several of us, even the woman with the surname Ren, also changed color.

The woman said even more bluntly: "Is there an upside-down jade bridge underwater?" ”

Her words reminded me of the ghost mirror tomb that trapped us before, and I suddenly chuckled in my heart, and a sense of foreboding arose.

The jade bridge in the water in front of us, with the change of the angle of the light in our hands, appears and disappears like a reflection, and distorts with the flow of water from time to time, completely contrary to the optical phenomenon, making people feel that the situation is very weird, and I can't help but have some doubts about the conjecture put forward by the woman surnamed Ren.

Could it be that there really is a jade bridge underwater?

What is the use of these two bridges once they go up?

Everyone's eyes converged on the bottom of the water, and no one could say one, two, or three for a while. At this moment, Gu Wenmin's eyes were sharp, and he screamed violently, and said, "There are people underwater!" ”
