Chapter 18: Finding the Water Inlet
Ghost water is a very evil thing, living in the water all year round, and anyone who hears this name will be afraid. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause this thing doesn't just eat fish and shrimp and other animals, if you are unlucky and you encounter this thing in the water, you will be eaten instantly and only bones will be left.
"Alright. ”
A few hours later, Jiang Botong got up from the ground and then stretched. When he first stood up, his mobile phone also prompted a message that there was no battery.
"How?"
After hearing Jiang Botong's words, Li Xuyang walked back from a distance, came to his side and glanced at his mobile phone, which was full of numbers that he understood, but after combining them, he didn't understand what it meant. At the bottom there is a two-digit number "44." ”
"What does this number mean?" Li Xuyang looked up and asked Jiang Botong.
"Do you know the Nine Square Grid?" Jiang Botong asked rhetorically.
Li Xuyang nodded, indicating that he knew.
"The number of the nine-square grid is to put the numbers from 1 to 9 into it, and then the numbers are the same no matter how you want to add them. However, the nine-square grid did not exist more than a hundred years ago, but there is another thing, which completely replaces the current nine-square grid-four-square step counting method. ”
The four-square step counting method is similar to the current handkerchief throwing game. But it's relatively complicated, and in the past, this four-square step method was used on the mechanism as a kind of lock. Later, it became the most useful way to calculate or remember the location of something.
And the four-grid step method is used here, which is very suitable. As long as you remember the rules, you will be able to find this entrance. But the premise is that you have to find the leg to start counting so that you can use this method.
"Look around for anything that could be used as a marker, it's winter, and when the grass is wilting, it shouldn't be hard to find. After Jiang Botong finished speaking, he put the dead mobile phone into his pocket, and then began to look for it on the ground.
"I just looked at the river and it felt like something was wrong. Li Xuyang also began to grope on the ground, and then asked Jiang Botong on the side.
"Oh?
"The nature of the river is not supposed to be black, it may be that for some reason the water is black. I just caught a dead fish, and even the inside of the fish is black, what does that mean?" Li Xuyang said, asking.
This means that the water is polluted. Jiang Botong's words made Li Xuyang almost fall to the ground, how could this be?
"There's a factory behind you, don't you see? It's the upstream of the river, and if you discharge sewage, the downstream water will definitely be polluted, and it's normal for fish to die. ”
"Really?" Li Xuyang stood up and took a look, and sure enough, he found that far upstream, there was a chimney, which was emitting billowing black smoke at this time.
"Found it. Jiang Botong said suddenly, and then pulled the surrounding grass apart, revealing something similar to a brick. With this, combined with the four-grid step counting method, it is possible to know the exact location of the entrance.
Li Xuyang also ran over, and then saw something carved on the thing that looked like a brick.
But seeing Jiang Botong stand up, he walked a few steps around the mark, then started a few steps north, walked a few more steps, and then walked to the left again.
Eventually, it stopped at the river.
"Did you find it?" Li Xuyang came to Jiang Botong's side and asked.
"Yes, it's in the water, but how can we go down on such a cold day? If we go down, our clothes will be wet, and even if we don't freeze to death, we will catch a cold and fever, which will affect our search for the Ssangyong chair. Jiang Botong proposed.
The entrance to the dungeon was in the water, which was something they hadn't expected, but even if they had already come here, they couldn't go back. Without swimming equipment, it is impossible to dive directly into the water.
"The water won't go down, and the only way we have to do that is to go into the water and go into the dungeon. Li Xuyang said, this is also no way.
"Alright then, it's getting late today, and by noon tomorrow, when it's not so cold, let's get into the water! Jiang Botong said.
"Well, good. Li Xuyang nodded, then took out his bag, took out some food from it, and then began to eat with Jiang Botong.
In the Black Wind Mountain, Ling'er was sitting on a tree at this time, holding her chin in her hands, looking at the corpse standing in front of her.
"Kui Corpse, why did you say he left me?" Ling'er asked a little angrily.
"Drink. The corpse couldn't speak, but he could understand Ling'er's words, and he answered her question with "drink".
Ling'er didn't know why she became a human, which was a big joke for her. It shouldn't have been like this, but it happened, and now that Li Xuyang has abandoned her, what should she do?
"I beg you, don't hurt my brother. ”
"Brother? He has abandoned you, and you still call him brother, silly sister, wake up! Human beings can't believe it, otherwise how could they abandon you and ignore you?" Xiao Yu said after hearing the fragile voice.
When fighting with the corpse, Ling'er wanted to come to the rescue, but her own strength was limited after all. And she is also in a period of mutation, and her strength is completely inferior to before. began to negotiate with Xiaoyu, hoping that she could help.
Xiaoyu hesitated at first, and didn't want to help Li Xuyang. Because she knew that if she went out by herself, then her ability would be weakened, and once Ling'er was strong after the successful mutation, she would be vulnerable, and she would be in mortal danger.
Ling'er pleaded repeatedly, and Xiaoyu finally compromised and agreed to her request. then occupied this body, but just saw Jiang Botong about to cut off the corpse. So she went forward to block Jiang Botong's halberd with her body, and then used her ability to absorb the evil power of the corpse, she is now strong, and she completely suppressed Ling'er.
If she is willing, then this body can always be occupied by herself and not returned to Ling'er. But if this is the case, Ling'er will slowly be sucked by her ability, and finally disappear completely.
"Why do you want to absorb evil power? It's not for your own selfishness? My brother left me because of you, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, absolutely not. Ling'er was a little angry, but in the face of Xiaoyu's powerful ability, she could only get angry, and the more she couldn't seize this body.
"Hmph, hehe, ridiculous. Didn't you beg me to save him in the first place? Now that I have evil power, if I wasn't bloodthirsty, I'd die, understand? Silly girl, I didn't eat your brother, it's already considered benevolent. Xiaoyu jumped down from the tree, then looked at the sky that was about to get dark, and said to the corpse, "Let's go, let's find food." ”
"Drink. The corpse agreed, followed behind Xiao Yu, and jumped out of the place.
After dawn the next day, Li Xuyang used some plastic bags to collect some air, and then sealed a clean suit and put it in his backpack.
When it was noon, Jiang Botong came to the marked place, took out a rope and tied it to the ground, and then went down with the rope. Only he knew the four-grid step counting method, so Li Xuyang could only come down after he found the entrance. After all, the water here is not clear, because the water is so dirty that you can only use a rope as a lead.
Li Xuyang stood on the shore, waiting and waiting. But after Jiang Botong jumped into the water, he didn't show his head for a long time. His ability to hold his breath Li Xuyang still knew that although he could be underwater for more than five minutes without breathing, it was obvious that five minutes had passed.
And while he was anxious, the rope moved, as if it had been pulled on purpose. Li Xuyang knew that this was a signal, once Jiang Botong found the entrance, he would pull the rope and tell him, and then he would follow the rope down. As soon as he entered the water, he couldn't open his eyes, and he found something in his nose and ears, and then blocked them, and then jumped into the water.
As soon as he entered the water, Li Xuyang could feel the biting cold. It's like a silk, not hanging, standing in the ice and snow. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and quickly grabbed the rest and ran down.
Because of the air bag he carried, the speed at which he went down was very slow, and if he was not careful, he would float up.
"Alright. ”
Li Xuyang didn't know how long he had been crawling, and when he felt the back of his hands grasping, he could be regarded as opening his eyes. However, he saw a large space, and after he got up, he walked out of the water and came to a place where there was no water.
When he turned to look, he couldn't believe his eyes. It's underwater, it's clear things. But why is there no water here? This should not be in line with scientific logic.
Jiang Bo informed him that he was very puzzled about this matter, but the situation in front of him was indeed very undeserved. It's all water, and here it's supposed to be in the tomb, but there's no water, or only a small part of it.
"This place is a mystery, and the further you go in, the more mysteries there will be, but you have to remember to keep your breath and talk less. We don't know if it's connected to the outside world, and if there's no air, we can't get out. Jiang Botong said to Li Xuyang while changing his clothes.
Li Xuyang also took off his already wet clothes, and then changed into dry ones, and nodded after hearing Jiang Botong's words.
Jiang Botong walked in the front with a glow stick, the air in this place is thin, if you use the fire fold, I am afraid that the air here will be lost even more, if you use the light stick, it will be fine.
This entrance is very wide and damp, and even Li Xuyang can't touch the bricks on it even when he raises his hand. The road is only a few meters away from the water, and after walking into it for a while, the water disappears and is no longer so wet.
