Chapter 248: Underwater Encounters with Old Turtles
On the way, Pomegranate asked me: "What do you think of what the woman said?" I smiled bitterly, I don't know how to answer, from the sister-in-law's narration, I can conclude that there is indeed a problem with this pool, the woman in the water is either a ghost or a demon, fifty years ago this pool suddenly appeared, and then there were women who disappeared for no reason, forty-nine people, what does this forty-nine mean, and the most important thing, fifty years ago it was women who disappeared, but now it is men who are missing, this thing is unusual!
I told Pomegranate that I don't have a clue at the moment, so I have to go to the Netherworld to investigate and make a decision, if it's a ghost or something, I'll use Taoist mantras to suppress it! Before Master's death, there were many obscure mantras in my monastic content, and I didn't know any of the words, but I could read the words according to the words that I didn't understand, but I understood the meaning of the language, and I didn't know what the reason for this was the Dao, probably because these contents had been deeply remembered in my heart! There's also the content of drawing talismans.,It's just that I haven't had the leisure time to practice.,When I'm free one day, I must practice drawing talismans.,This thing will be used sooner or later.。
At this time, the snow on the ground was almost knee-high, and it was very difficult to walk, so in order to save physical energy, neither I nor Pomegranate dared to use our true qi. One kilometer away, we took half an hour to arrive, in the early hours of the morning can not see clearly, to the edge of the pool, under a closer look only to find that this pool is really big, estimated to be thousands of square meters, now the heavy snow closed the road, the snow on the ground has been a foot thick, but there is no snowflake in the pool, not even ice.
It stands to reason that in this weather, a pool of stagnant water is easy to freeze, I remember when I was a child, like this weather, as long as it was stagnant water, there would be a thick layer of ice, and a group of people could stand on it and bungee jump. The name of the Netherworld is indeed in line with the characteristics of this pool, and when you stand above and look down, you always feel an evil aura. The whole waterhole is circular, and the distance between the shore and the waterhole is about 30 meters, which is extremely steep, and ordinary people will not be able to come up if they accidentally fall down. I said to Pomegranate, "Wait for me on the shore, and I'll go down and see." ”
Pomegranate said, "Don't rush down, I see this waterhole is unusual." ”
I waved my hand: "Don't worry, I'll hold my breath, and besides, there is a protective shield to protect the body, it's okay." With that, I jumped into the pool. As soon as I entered the water, I felt that the cold air was eating my bones, and although I had a protective shield to protect my body, I still felt chills all over my body, like falling into an ice cave. The underwater visibility is very low, even if I open the eyes of the sky, the visibility is less than three meters, I have been going down, it is estimated that I have dived dozens of meters, there is no meaning in the end, all around is dark, cold and bone-eating, I am extremely reluctant to stay in this situation, but in order to find out the strange things fifty years ago, there is no other way now, I am more curious.
About a few more minutes have passed, still not to the end, from the time I came down to now, ten minutes have passed, I estimate that now at least the depth of 100 meters is below, the name of the Netherworld is not wrong, this waterhole should not really lead to the Netherworld, I don't want to enter the Netherworld again! I gradually found that the lower the potential visibility, the greater the visibility, from the previous three meters to five meters, the water above this waterhole is muddy, but the bottom is getting clearer and clearer, it is really unreasonable!
Now I can see the things around me, in front of me is an earthen wall, because of the perennial immersion in the water, the surface has become very smooth, the foot is a pitch black, I don't know how deep the road is! A person is in the bottomless black water, always have to guard against the sudden attack of female ghosts, say not afraid, that's fake, I know that it's useless to be afraid, if it's really a ghost, the more afraid you are, the more it will take advantage of the void, when facing the ghost, it is fierce, you have to be more fierce than it!
During the time I dived, I always paid attention to the movements around me, looked in all directions, and suddenly saw a white figure appear above, and quickly walked towards the lu, I quickly followed the ludge to swim too, at this time the feet tightened, a pair of big hands grabbed my legs. When I looked down, I shuddered to see that my leg was grabbed by a small hut-sized thing that looked a little like an old turtle, but it didn't have a hard shell.
One of the big claws of that thing alone was the size of a banana fan, and I was held tightly by the shellless turtle below my thigh, and my body was involuntarily dragged down by it. I was scared out of a cold sweat, fortunately I don't have to breathe, otherwise it would be strange if I didn't drown, I saw that it was useless to struggle, the strength of this old turtle was amazing, and suddenly I had an idea, why not just plan it, pretend to be dead, see where it can drag me to, wait for it to be unprepared, and capture it alive!
So I deliberately exhaled a few breaths, pretending to be drowning, and then my head hung down, and my hands relaxed, and I let the old turtle drag me to the bottom. The white figure that flashed just now now is a bit similar to the female ghost that my sister-in-law said fifty years ago, the same white clothes, what is the connection between this female ghost and the old turtle, why did the female ghost appear, the old turtle followed suit, what did the female ghost do, what did the old turtle do when he dragged me to the bottom of the water.
A series of questions were in front of me, so that I couldn't wait to figure it out, I felt that the speed of the old turtle had slowed down, I quietly opened my eyes a slit to observe, it turned out that I had reached the bottom of the water, the visibility was much better than just now, at least I could see things ten meters away. The old turtle dragged me to a hole, the entrance of the hole was on the ground under the water, the size of half a basketball court, and the old turtle dragged me into the hole, and then turned around and swam out of the hole without looking.
Seeing the old turtle go away, I began to look up, the hole is very large, straight up and down, like a shaft, the bottom space is very large, there are hundreds of square meters, there is nothing in the huge space, I not only guess, what did the old turtle want to do when he got me here, it must have thought I was dead, otherwise it would not have thrown me down and left, what did he go back to do?
There are too many secrets in the Netherworld, in addition to being a little scared now, more excited, this kind of thing is not encountered by ordinary people, it is much more exciting than visiting a haunted house! I began to search the bottom space, judging by the experience I learned during my time as a police officer, it is definitely impossible to have nothing here, I began to check the wall, hoping to find the mechanism or something, after looking for a long time, the mechanism was not found, but found a door, the whole door is the same color as the wall, the gap is tight, no wonder I didn't see it just now. I pushed hard, and the door spun half a circle, and I strode in.
