The bottom of the lake cracked?" the blind man felt incredible, how could the bottom of the lake crack?

Ye Qinghong knew that Zhang Changgong didn't talk nonsense, Zhang Changgong has always been calm, but this time he uncharacteristically lost his composure, it seems that he must have sensed a great danger, the bottom of the lake is cracking, which means that the bottom of the lake should be empty, it is a special terrain formed by volcanic eruptions.

Zhang Changgong didn't care about explaining, but urged everyone to work together to bring the raft to the shore, and before they could reach the shore, they saw a whirlpool appear in the middle of the lake. Because the lake itself is not large, it stands to reason that such a large whirlpool could not have appeared, and the only explanation is that Zhang Longbow said that the bottom of the lake is cracked, and from what has been seen so far, the crack at the bottom of the lake is not a small hole, but a large hole beyond imagination.

If the others were still skeptical, after seeing the whirlpool, everyone smelled death, and they rowed to the shore with all their might, and if the raft could not keep up with the speed of the whirlpool's expansion, all of them would be swallowed up by the whirlpool with the raft, and they would all be buried at the bottom of the water, regardless of the nature of the water.

"Hurry, hurry!" shouted the blind man.

Zhang Longbow turned around and saw that the expansion speed of the whirlpool was too fast, and it was too late to land the raft, so he circled the rope and threw it to the shore with all his strength, the rope was accurately set on a rock on the shore, Zhang Longbow pulled the rope with all his strength, and the speed of the raft doubled under his pulling.

Tiewa also came to help, with the concerted efforts of everyone, they finally came to the shore before being swallowed by the whirlpool, everyone was exhausted, and when they looked up, they saw that the lake level was falling rapidly, and in less than an hour, the lake water had all settled, this was not an ordinary lake bottom cracking, but the entire lake bottom had fallen, the water level fell quickly, and there was a stone forest formed by lava standing in the water.

As the water level drops, the bottom of the lake cracks, and the interior of the crater is increasingly exposed.

Leaving the warm lake, the temperature outside is very low, and the water on Kung Fu's body will freeze after a while, Ye Qinghong and Sparrow went to one of the tents, and they had to change their clothes as soon as possible.

The blind man and Zhang Changgong went to another temporary shack, Zhang Changgong has a special physique, he didn't feel the cold much, the blind man has been frozen to the point that his face is blue and his lips are white, he squatted next to the brazier to roast the fire, and said tremblingly: "Too ...... It's so fucking cold......"

Zhang Longbow handed him the flask, the blind man waved his hand, changed into dry clothes, and squatted beside the brazier again, afraid that he would not hold the brazier in his arms. Another reason why he is so cold is that he took the initiative to give up the only two sets of water to Ye Qinghong and Sparrow, and at this time, he always has to show a man's generosity.

Tiewa lit a bonfire outside again, Xiao Ping'an followed Tiewa closely, he admired Tiewa a lot these days, and felt that Tiewa could do anything.

Ye Qinghong and Sparrow are relatively better because of the protection of water, the two of them changed their clothes and came to the bonfire to roast the fire, Ye Qinghong carried a stainless steel wine jug with him, drank a few sips by himself, and handed it to Sparrow.

The sparrow followed her example and poured a few mouthfuls, feeling that her body was warm and very useful.

Ye Qinghong looked at the small lake just now and found that the water level of the small lake was already very low, but the rate of decline was also slowing down.

Tiewa said: "There should be a big hole at the bottom of this lake. ”

Zhang Changgong walked out at this time, he told him what happened underwater, when he talked about the copper boat, Ye Qinghong couldn't help but remember that he had heard Luo Hunt mention it, in other words, this crater was the way out for Luo Hunt and them to escape from the Nine Secret Realm.

Zhang Longbow came to the shore and looked down, the water was about sixty meters below their current camp, and the water level should continue to drop, but the speed slowed down a lot. Zhang Longbow took out his binoculars and carefully observed the inner wall of the crater, because the water level had dropped, he could now see clearly, he suddenly stopped, and found a triangular hole on the slope below, Zhang Longbow zoomed in on his vision, convinced that it was indeed a cave, and he told the others about his discovery.

Ye Qinghong took the telescope and looked at it, and then saw that the water surface seemed to have stopped falling, and secretly thought in his heart, the triangular hole might be another way to enter the Nine Secret Realms.

Zhang Changgong said: "Tiewa and I will go to explore the road first, and you will rest first." ”

Ye Qinghong nodded, she and the sparrow blind man had a lot of physical exertion when diving just now, and Zhang Longbow's physique was different from theirs, so now the best physical strength was Zhang Longbow. She looked at the time, it was twelve o'clock at noon, and in twelve hours, it was the New Year, and she couldn't imagine that they would spend this Chinese New Year's Eve in such a way.

Ye Qinghong was secretly grateful to these friends, without their help, she would not have been able to get here on her own. Ye Qinghong said: "Brother Zhang, let's go after lunch." ”

Zhang Changgong smiled: "I'm not hungry now, wait to find out if the hole leads to the bottom." ”

Ye Qinghong said, "In this way, let's prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here, whether that cave entrance leads to the Nine Secret Realm or not, we will wait until tomorrow." ”

Zhang Changgong said: "Cheng, we will come back before five o'clock." ”

Zhang Longbow did not let Tiewa follow, just let him answer above, he climbed down the slope, more than ten minutes later, has been close to the triangular hole, the hole is very regular, the edge is smooth, at a glance I know that this should not be a natural formation, Zhang Changgong touched the edge, judged that it was artificially carved.

From the top, the entrance to the cave is not big, but when you really get to the front, you find that each side of the triangular entrance is nine meters long, the inner wall of the cave is narrowed diagonally, and there is a layer of thin ice on the outside, which is very slippery, and if you are not careful, you will fall to the bottom, after all, there is a height of nearly fifty meters from the lower edge of the cave to the bottom of the water surface, not to mention that there are lava forests below, and you will inevitably die if you fall.

Zhang Longbow didn't use the rope to get down, and no one but him should be able to climb to this place with his bare hands. Zhang Longbow motioned to Tiewa to hang down the rope from above, grabbed the rope, and then got out of the slope, and the body swung in the air a few times to stabilize, then slid down about two meters, turned on the beam of the flashlight to shine inside, and saw that the triangular hole was obliquely narrowed inside, that is to say, the hole was surrounded by an inclined plane, and it was not easy to enter it, and at the end of the inclined plane was also a triangle.

Zhang Longbow swung his body back and forth, as close to the interior as possible, and he saw that the triangle inside was made up of several different shapes, and Zhang Longbow didn't know how to get into it, so he could only climb up again along the rope.

Zhang Changgong told his companion what he saw, and Ye Qinghong said: "It should be a graphic lock, as long as it can be arranged in an orderly manner, the door will open." ”

Zhang Changgong said: "It's not easy to get in, there is no place to climb inside." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "Brother Zhang, do you remember the shape of the pattern inside?"

Zhang Changgong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't have such great ability. ”

Ye Qinghong said: "Okay, I'll go down and take a look." ”

Zhang Changgong said: "I'll go down with you, and it's just a matter of multiple ropes." ”

The two prepared a little, Ye Qinghong and Zhang Changgong came to the triangular cave together, Zhang Changgong was responsible for illuminating it, Ye Qinghong grabbed the rope and swayed back and forth like a swing, because the cave was all inclined planes, there was no place to stay, she could only see the structure in this way.

Ye Qinghong is much more powerful than Zhang Changgong in this regard, she quickly saw that the figure inside the triangle could not be rearranged, this is actually a figure similar to Huarong Dao, but there is a lack of space to move, Ye Qinghong looked at it for a while and found the mystery in it, she said to Zhang Changgong: "Brother Zhang, this is actually the lock in the lock, and the key to open the pattern lock is the ball above, and the ball must be moved to the lower left corner." ”

Zhang Changgong was stunned and said, "It's all full, how to move?"

Ye Qinghong said: "I suspect that the figure on this can be pressed down, if it is pressed down, it will be able to get out of the way, and with the void ball, it can move." ”

Zhang Changbow said: "That's not simple, we can shoot." ”

Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "No, the bullet can't control the strength, I'm afraid that I will have to work on your shot." ”

Zhang Changgong understood what she meant, although the power of the gun was enough, but it could not control the amount of power, in case the pattern lock was damaged, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Zhang Changbow's archery skills are superb, he removed the tip of the arrow, and according to Ye Qinghong's instructions, he shot the first arrow, this arrow hit the square below the ball, and sure enough, the square sank downward after being forced, and the ball slid down along the gap where the block was removed due to gravity.

Under Ye Qinghong's guidance, Zhang Longbow shot a total of five arrows, each arrow accurately hit the target, the ball zigzagged down, and rolled to the lower left corner of the triangle along a track shot by Zhang Longbow, only to hear a creaking sound, and the surrounding mountains and rocks also trembled slightly. The triangle that has been unlocked from the figure splits apart, revealing an equilateral triangular opening with a side length of one meter and a half.

Zhang Changgong said happily: "Sure enough, it was opened." ”

Ye Qinghong remembered the painting that his son drew on the snow, when his son said that he was drawing a volcano, but he drew an equilateral triangle close to the standard, things in the world will not be so coincidental, Ye Qinghong remembered the thrilling scene they had in the lake just now, because of the whirlpool that appeared because of the collapse of the bottom of the lake. Ping An drew a spiral on the villain who represented Luo Lie, could it be that the spiral represents the whirlpool?

Ye Qinghong bit her lip, she couldn't wait, but she remembered that everything can't be rushed, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, she said that everyone should rest for one night, and tomorrow they will go in to explore.

Zhang Changgong said: "It's two o'clock, brother and sister, I don't think it's too late, how about we go in and have a look?"

Ye Qinghong knew that Zhang Changgong should have seen her urgency, and she said softly: "Brother Zhang, let's discuss it." ”

If you really want to venture into this cave, you need to be well prepared. Most people thought that it was best to leave Ping An on it and arrange someone to take care of it, but Ye Qinghong objected, because she felt more and more that the hope of being able to find Luo Lie might all lie in her son.

Ye Qinghong analyzed Ping An's previous painting, and everyone felt incredible after listening to it, but they had to admit that it made sense.

Sparrow said: "I think, if you want to go, you can go together, there is no need to leave anyone outside, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, if you are alone, you don't know what danger you will encounter." ”

The blind man nodded, he had been to the Nine Secret Realms, and now he still felt furious when he thought about it, but after the volcanic eruption, the monsters in the Nine Secret Realms should have been burned to ashes and annihilated.

Zhang Changgong said with a smile: "Since everyone has no objections, everyone will go down together, but someone has to stay on top to watch the wind." ”

Tiewa took the initiative to ask: "Master, it's better for me to stay, I am familiar with the situation here, and I should be able to deal with any trouble." ”

Zhang Changgong actually meant the same thing, he patted Tiewa's shoulder and said, "Prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, let's come back for reunion wine." ”

Tiewa smiled: "Don't worry, it's all left to me." ”

Zhang Changgong and Ye Qinghong discussed, and he was responsible for carrying Ping'an, this was considering that Ye Qinghong was unable to move with Ping'an on his back, Ye Qinghong did not insist this time, and the four of them came to the triangular cave one by one.

Zhang Longbow took Ye Qinghong and the sparrow into it one after another, but when it was the blind man's turn, he didn't catch it, the blind man screamed and swung out again, and when he swung back again, Zhang Longbow and Ye Qinghong reached out at the same time and pulled him in.

The blind man panted and said, "After this vote, Lao Tzu will never play with his life again." ”

Sparrow said: "Then we have to wait until I see Luo Hunt." ”

The blind man glanced at her and motioned to her not to mention Luo Lie, although everyone thought that this time the incident was very strange, but most people did not have much hope of finding Luo Lie, as Zhang Changgong said, Luo Lie disappeared in the West Sea, how could he appear in this place? Why didn't he choose to go home and reunite with his relatives, but came here?

Walking along the passage at their feet, the passage was also triangular in shape, and as they walked inside, the passage continued to expand, and the temperature inside was much higher than that outside, and the blind man said, "I don't remember being here." ”

Zhang Longbow and Sparrow also have the same idea, although this place is close to the Nine Secret Realms, it may not be connected to the Nine Secret Realms.

Continuing to walk, a metal door appeared in front of him, Zhang Changgong walked over and pushed it hard, but the gate did not move at all.

Ye Qinghong and Sparrow observed this gate side by side, Sparrow said: "It's Xia Wen!" ", in addition to Luo Hunt, the most studied Xia Wen is the Sparrow, but the Sparrow together knows only thirty words, Ye Qinghong is far inferior to French and English in the study of Chinese, although he has learned a few Xia Wen with Luo Hunt, but it is limited to the surname.

Zhang Changgong said: "Is it a graphic lock again?"

Sparrow shook his head and said, "Maybe we can find a way to unravel it from the words above." ”

The blind man said, "It's a big deal to blow this door open." ”

Zhang Changgong said: "I found that you still speak without brains. ”

The blind man said, "You have a brain, you are smart, so tell me how to open this door?"

Sparrow only found a total of seven words from Xia Wen above, and it is impossible to deduce the correct meaning from these seven words alone.

"Uncle Zhang, I want to pee!" said Ping An behind Zhang Changgong.

Zhang Changgong put him down and wanted to help him untie his pants, but Ping An insisted on coming by himself.

The blind man said: "How convenient it is to get an open crotch pants." ”

Ping An said: "I'm so old that I don't wear open crotch pants." ”

The blind man smiled and said, "Hurry up and pee, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ping'an turned around and peed, Ye Qinghong and Sparrow were thinking about how to open the door, and they didn't pay attention to Ping'an's things, Ye Qinghong has always advocated that children do what they can do by themselves, and they are not pampered because Ping'an is young.

Suddenly, I heard the blind man say, "Obediently, does the boy's urine still carry electric light?"

Several people turned around, but saw a few glowing lines under Ping'an's feet, of course, the boy's urine could not be electrified, but the pattern on the ground had a chemical reaction and brightened after encountering urine.

Sparrow said: "The secret is here!"

The blind man said: "It's a pity that you don't pee enough, Lao Zhang, or you can help." ”

Zhang Changgong glared at this guy and said, "Fart!"

The sparrow unscrewed the kettle and poured down, in fact, the water poured down the same way, as the water soaked the ground, a glowing pattern appeared in front of their eyes, and the sparrow said: "The secret is here." The pattern on the ground and the pattern on the door look exactly the same, but Ye Qinghong and the sparrow carefully compared and found six differences, connecting these six differences, just in the shape of a six-pointed star, the sparrow, Ye Qinghong, and the blind man pressed their hands to find out the six differences, and then pressed them down at the same time.

I only heard a rumbling sound, and the door in front of me slowly rose upward, and a cold air rushed towards the face, and several people were forced by the cold air, and shivered at the same time.

In front of their eyes, a huge crater appeared, a spiral staircase around the pit all the way down, in the pit, there was a crystal clear huge crystal, the crystal above lingered light blue mist, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, no one thought that there was such a treasure hidden in the hinterland of the snow-capped mountains.

The sparrow looked at the nebula in a daze, but the blind man looked at the crystal with a greedy gaze, he had never seen such a big crystal, and the first thing that came to mind was that this crystal was worth old money.

They descended down the steps, which had no railings or handrails, and were bordered by a rock wall on one side and an abyss on the other. Zhang Longbow reminded everyone to pay attention to their feet, as they walked down, their figures were refracted by the crystal and appeared in the crystal, Ye Qinghong suddenly had an illusion, feeling as if she had walked into the crystal, she was outstanding, and immediately realized that there may be some kind of mysterious power in this huge crystal, and reminded everyone: "Everyone try not to look at this crystal, the shadow refracted inside is easy to hallucinate." ”
