"Qitou water", like a tornado, comes and goes quickly.

Except for the murky water of the river and the still trembling trees, flowers, and rocks on the banks of the river, everything seems to be returning to its original appearance at a rapid pace, and the escaped mountain sparrows, grouse, and other birds have begun to sing happily again.

After some time, the flood waters receded, and the exhausted Mu Mangzi found himself lying on a slope.

Thinking that the others were washed away with the flood and there was no reason to survive, Mu Mangzi's heart ached, and he got up to check his luggage, the things were still on his body, and more importantly, the treasure clothes of the big cave master were intact, and he fell on the grass with no energy.

Mu Mangzi couldn't remember how he fell into the water and how he survived.

Lying on the grass on his back, looking at the high cliffs on both sides, he thought nonsense in despair, his physical strength gradually recovered, he got up, looked up to the sky and roared, birds and beasts scurryed!

Later, he observed the environment, and found that the terrain here was gentle, full of flowers and green grass, and there was still muddy water, and the water was stable, but the river was turbid, and he was about six or seven feet away from the surface of the river.

Mu Mangzi didn't have the heart to look at the scenery at all.

Looking at the two sides again, the side where they are still a cliff that meets the clouds, and the cliff on the opposite side is lower, but it is also about twenty or thirty zhang high.

Suddenly, Mu Mangzi saw a person lying on the lawn not far ahead, and rushed over to take a look, but he was dreaming, disheveled, his hair was messy, and his bags were still there.

Mu Mangzi tried it, and he was still breathing, and he was surprised and happy.

Mu Mangzi saw that there was a living person, and it was estimated that Long You, Du Qunfang, and Lan Hui, who were many times better than her, should also be nearby, and his mood suddenly improved.

Mu Mangzi was about to wake up Meng Yu, when he saw that her clothes were washed away by the water, most of her breasts were exposed, and a small brocade bag hung on her neck, and there was a very faint fragrance overflowing with the smell of muddy water, soaking into her heart and lungs, and said secretly: "I heard that her flower fragrance is called Sisi Flower Fragrance, why don't you see what it is?"

Mu Mangzi bent down and wanted to reach out and take out the flower sac to see, but saw that the twin peaks were towering, and the bottom of the sachet was at the double peak ditch, and the two round peaks, although they were stained with muddy water, they were also extremely tender and beautiful.

Who can resist this wonderful scenery? Silly men are also men, Mu Mangzi stayed there, his face was red and his heart was beating, and he was at a loss.

Suddenly, he heard an eagle's cry in the sky, and Mu Mangzi woke up and looked up to see an eagle flying on the top of the valley.

Retracting his head, Mu Mangzi straightened the beauty's clothes and pushed the dream a few times.

When he opened his eyes, he woke up like a dream, and saw that it was Mu Mangzi, and said, "What about them?"

"Maybe it's nearby. ”

Seeing the green leaves and fresh grass around him, the muddy water with yellow colors, the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and the sun also came out, he wondered: "Is this the underworld!"

"I haven't been there, how do you know. I didn't expect you to be swept away by the flood. ”

The arrogance in the nature of the dream did not disappear because of the desperate situation, and he said, "What do you mean by this? Do you want me to be swept away by the flood?"

"Understood, you don't know water, it's like a stone, how can it be washed away?"

Life and death are big, although Meng Mengyu no longer trusts Mu Mangzi as much as before, and is not afraid of what ghosts he has, thinking that he can't live without water, Du Qunfang and the others have a better chance of survival.

Looking at the mountains on both sides, it must still be in Longshui Gorge, and Meng Mengyu didn't want to raise the bar with Mu Mangzi anymore, and said: "I was hit into the water by the big waves, so I don't know why." I just remember a dream: a big snake lifted me up from the water. Wake up, and here it is. ”

Mu Mangzi smiled: "It's time for you to do this dream, if it's an eagle in your dream, it's even better." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Dreaming of an eagle, you may be able to fly out of Longshui Gorge. ”

Yu Mengyu was thoughtful, and then actually nodded.

Mu Mangzi said: "When the water came, I saw you fall into the water in a trance, and I reached out and grabbed it, as if I had grabbed a foot, and then I didn't know anything, and I only remember a dream that Brother Yanlong was with me. ”

"No wonder, my left foot is bruised, and it's still hurting. You said that what you dreamed of was the python demon salt dragon that was in the Hu'an Palace?"

"He's not a demon, he's a human!" Mu Mangzi affirmed.

"It's impossible to say if it's a demon, but unfortunately it's not a human!"

"Brother Yanlong, are you here?" Mu Mangzi called casually.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" in the river, and a wave rose.

When they heard the sound, they followed it and saw a giant eagle like an arrow from a string, passing by the waves.

Mu Mangzi smiled: "That eagle, I missed catching a fish!"

"This eagle is very special, it has been flying on it. ”

Seeing that Yu Mengyu didn't mean to get up for the time being, Mu Mangzi sat down two steps away from her and said, "If you go down this river, you should go to the mouth of the dark river, and after crossing the dark river, it is Danfu water." Let's go find them. ”

At present, the first priority is to find someone, and when she heard this, she turned over.

The two of them searched for people and observed at the same time.

Suddenly, Long Si exclaimed, "The river seems to be flowing backwards!"

"How so?"

"Look at the sun. ”

Yu Mengyu raised his head to observe the position of the sun, and then observed the surface of the water, and sure enough, as Mu Mangzi said, the direction of the water flow was opposite to the direction of the river he had seen in the past few days, and he was shocked: "Is it really flowing backwards! Is there really such a spell? Who is casting a spell?"

"What spell? White Tiger Man's spell?"

Legend has it that there is a sorcerer in the Ba people, who once made the river flow backwards and traveled against the boat. ”

"In this way, this flood was also inflicted by the mage?" Mu Mangzi found it unbelievable and teased.

Yu Mengyu couldn't solve this mystery, and said, "Find them first." ”

The two shouted the names of the missing as they searched, and the male and female sopranos echoed through the valley, and there was no trace of the three men.

Tired of shouting, Mu Mangzi said: "There is no promise, or they have already gone out of the dark river......"

Yu Mengyu understood what he meant, exactly what he thought, his hope was shattered at once, he felt completely finished, he was unsteady on his feet, curled up on the mud and grass, and cried.

This time, instead of crying like last time, Dream Yu just cried quietly from the beginning.

This is the second time that Yu Mengyu has shed tears in front of Mu Mangzi, without resentment or grievance, but for his friends Du Qunfang, Lan Hui, Ruyan, Caterpillar, as well as Ruyun, Tho Manzi and others whose whereabouts are unknown, his sadness is very pure, and his tears flow very cleanly.

The more he cried, the more sad he became, and he had no intention of stopping.

Du Qunfang, Lan Hui, and Long You are missing, most of them have been buried in the belly of the fish, Mu Mangzi was already very upset, listening to the cry of Qi Mengyu, he was even more upset, he stepped forward and bent over, and his left hand was stuck in the mouth of the tiger with his left hand, and said: "What are you crying about!"

How could he have suffered this kind of humiliation, and it came from a fool, his hands broke his hand hard, opened his mouth to bite his palm, and Mu Mangzi quickly withdrew his hand.

Yu Mengyu said angrily: "Fool! If you dare to touch me again, I will bite you to death!"

"Are you hungry, or a white tiger man, really a tiger?"

Yu Mengyu was extremely annoyed, and slapped Mu Mangzi, but he actually turned his head and dodged it gently.

Yu Mengyu was even more angry, stretched out his hand and slapped again, this time he didn't dodge, and with a "snap", he hit the left side of his face, leaving red fingerprints.

Mu Mangzi was not angry, but said, "Don't cry anymore." I'll send you out of the Dark River. ”

"They're all dead, what else am I going out for!"

"Then you can cry them alive first!" Mu Mangzi said.

Yu Mengyu replied speechlessly, and took the initiative to stop crying.

Mu Mangzi stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said, "Look for it again!"

The two continued to search and found that the river was widening.

Further on, there is a bay pond, still in the canyon, the water is very turbid, there are many uprooted trees or broken branches, leaves, broken vines, etc. floating on the surface of the water, and there are many drowned wild animals, including hares, pheasants, wild sheep, etc., obviously victims of sudden floods.

Around the pond, there are many plants and trees, most of which are thatched and shrubs, giving people the impression of being wild.

"The water surface is calm, and it is retreating quietly, isn't it, we are no longer by the Longshui Gorge River?"

Mu Mangzi looked forward, and at the end of the pond, there was a cliff, and said, "It really doesn't look like a river." Where is this?"

Yu Mengyu looked around carefully again, and said in horror: "We should have been washed into a deep ditch next to Longshui Gorge by the flood. You see, there are dozens of cliffs around, and only birds can fly out. If you don't have an exit, or you can't climb to the top, you're dead. ”

The dream is right, here, is a nameless canyon in Longshui Gorge, about three or four miles long, about one mile wide at the widest point, the canyon is surrounded by cliffs, the lowest gap, also more than 20 zhang high, they came in with the flood from that gap.

Mu Mangzi was frightened and said, "I'll check again." ”

Yu Mengyu didn't want to move anymore, and said: "I understand why the river is flowing backwards, it's not a wizard's spell, but there is a pit in the direction of it, and this pond of still water flows towards the pit of elimination."

She guessed correctly again, the karst terrain has many holes, and in this nameless canyon, there is more than one elimination pit (seasonal dark river estuary), which begins to dissipate water quickly, and then is blocked by the chaotic wood, grass, and dead wild animals washed by the flood, and the water dissipates slowly.

Looking around, there are straight and steep cliffs, on the cliffs, some places are hairless, bare rocks, and some places are decorated with shallow grass and low shrubs.

The most painful thing is that this is a closed canyon, and no place has been found where humans can climb to the top unless they have a pair of wings.

Mu Mangzi was frightened and returned to his original place, but saw Meng Yu lying on the mud and grass again, looking at the sky in a daze.

Seeing that the pathfinder was back, Yu Mengyu glanced at Mu Mangzi's painful expression and said, "There must be no way!"

"It seems that I only died with you!" Mu Mangzi said inexplicably.

"You think I want to die with you!"

Bickering is not the current priority, they looked at it carefully again, the two met, and Mu Mangzi said: "There is only one way." ”

Yu Mengyu said happily: "One is enough." ”

"There is a dead end. ”
