"Your Majesty, your subordinates have grown up by the river since they were young and are familiar with the water, so let your subordinates go to the bottom of the pool to check it out!" A tall and thin guard took the initiative to ask for help, and after speaking, he immediately took off his saber, took off his armor, and left only a pair of underwear, only to see him reach out and pick a few handfuls of leaves and reeds growing by the pool, crushed them and stuffed them in his ears, and jumped directly into the water with a "plop", and the figure sank quickly until he couldn't see it.

How deep the water is not visible from the surface of the water, the stream is clear, and the bottom of the pool is an impenetrable dark green, so thick that it is black.

Emperor Hui, Wei Wei and a group of guards all surrounded the pool, anxiously waiting for the tall and thin man to come out. A quarter of an hour had passed, two quarters of an hour had passed, and until three quarters of an hour had passed, the guard had not come up from the bottom of the pool.

"Your Majesty, it's been so long, nothing will happen, right?" The lead guard looked worried.

"Yes! No one can hold their breath underwater for so long, Wu Slender may ······"

"What can I do about this?"

"Who else is not bad at water, go down and see Wu Slender Man!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they are all at a loss.

"I'd better go! It's not a landlubber at all. The leading guard should have taken responsibility at this time, and he had a rope taken out of his companionship and tied around his waist, "After I go down, if I don't come up after a quarter of an hour, you must put away the rope and pull me up." After explaining his subordinates, he also dived into the pool.

Weiwei shouted into the water by the edge of the pool: "If it doesn't work, turn back and go ashore quickly!"

The lead guard seemed to hear it and waved his arm in response.

At this moment, every minute and second seemed extremely long, and everyone waited hard, and the two guards by the pool tightly grasped one end of the rope and did not dare to let go.

"It's almost time." Someone shouted.

"Brother Li, quickly close the rope!"

The two hurriedly pulled the rope back, thinking that there would be some resistance, but they didn't think that the end of the rope seemed to be light and fluttering, and the more they pulled their hearts, the more shocked they became, and a bad omen rose in their hearts.

The rope was closed, but the other end was empty, "The rope is broken!" Brother Li shouted.

"Why is that?" Hui Di was puzzled, "Why did he break the rope?" Or who broke his rope? ”

"Maybe something happened underwater, and I had to do this?" Vivi said.

"This pool is so big that if they really encounter something wrong at the bottom of the water, they will eventually come here after a while." Emperor Hui sighed.

"But we probably don't have that much time to wait. It's a pity for these two soldiers. Vivi said sentimentally.

"Woo woo~~" A young guard actually sobbed quietly and shouted by the pool: "Angkor, where are you?" Angkor, come up! ”

Everyone was talking about how to go into the water to rescue them, and the little guard had already taken off his clothes and was about to go into the water.

"Tiger boy, you don't know water, don't go down to die, let the old brothers come." When they saw this, they stopped the little guard.

There was a commotion by the pool, and two more guards were about to go into the water again to investigate the situation, when suddenly a big black shadow in the water burst out of the water, startling everyone.

It turned out to be Wu Thinzi, who was dragging the leading guards to swim up to the water with one arm.

"Angkor, you're finally back, but I'm worried about killing everyone." The little guard shouted with joy,

Everyone was pleasantly surprised and rushed forward to help.

"Quick, the head of the sect has been holding his breath in the water for a long time, save him!" Wu Slender said, "First put him on his stomach and pour out the water in his stomach." ”

The crowd was in a hurry again.

Wei Wei saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help rescue the drowning leader, considering that her identity at this time was inconvenient to directly help, she commanded Wu Shouzi on the side to operate a series of rescue actions for the resuscitation of his henchmen.

Wu Shouzi was as fierce as a tiger, pressed his chest, blew heavily, and the leading guard finally coughed loudly and woke up.

"Okay, okay, the head of the sect is okay, the mother really has a way!"

Wei Wei was relieved and smiled embarrassedly at everyone.

After the two rested for a while against the rocks by the pool, they asked about their underwater experience.

Speaking of the rope broken by the leading guard, Wu Shouzi wiped the water droplets on his body and said: "The rope on the head of the sect was cut by me, and I happened to return when I met him, the rope on the head of the sect was entangled by the underwater reef at that time, and he couldn't untie the knot, so he could only use some slightly sharp stones at the bottom of the pool to slowly grind the rope, so it took a long time, and the head of the sect also passed out because he held his breath for too long." ”

"Thanks to Wu Shouzi for saving me this time, otherwise the bottom of this pool would be my burial place today." The lead guard thanked.

"Sect leader, why did you accidentally get caught in the rope by the reef so much, this time it's a big fate!"

"I tell you, I originally bypassed those reefs, and suddenly a moving corpse appeared in front of my face, and the undead spirit that Guangzhi said, was close to my face, I knew he couldn't see me, but I was still so frightened that the spirit ran away, and somehow I was entangled, and I was in a hurry, and the dead knot tied on my waist couldn't be untied under the water! Just when I thought I was going to die below, Wu Slender Man came over, and I didn't know what happened next. ”

"There are undead underneath the water, too?" The guards on the side were horrified.

"Yes, my subordinates are about to report to the emperor." Wu Shouzi stood up and saluted Emperor Hui, and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates just saw a lot of undead gathering under the water, and there are major discoveries. ”

"Oh? What did you find?" Hui Di asked.

"Your Majesty, when my subordinates were exploring the bottom of the pool, they encountered a whirlpool and were caught in it, only to feel that they were washed into a waterhole after the world was turned upside down, but it was not here, it was another."

"And a waterhole?"

"Yes, the subordinates climbed out of the pool water, it is a hidden cave, out of the cave, find themselves in another valley, as if in the belly of this group of mountains to open up another world, the area is wide and open, the forest is numerous, strange flowers and plants, everywhere there are stone houses, there are wine shops, there are medical halls, tea houses, restaurants, gambling houses, etc., there is no difference from the outside, it is a valley market town that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The subordinates looked at the scene in the stone house, which was once supposed to be prosperous, but now it was strangely deserted, and there was not a single person in sight. ”

"Is there such a strange thing? Create a town of tens of thousands of people under the mountains? Everyone was amazed.

"And I've picked them up." Wu Slender took out a golden ingots from the inner pocket of his underwear.

"Gold ingots!" Someone laughed, "Wu Slender didn't run this trip in vain, he sent it!" ”

"More than that, I want to say that in the stone houses of every house, there are countless such yellow and white things." Wu Shouzi said calmly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately exploded, their emotions were immediately ignited, and they shouted excitedly, "Found it, this is the treasure spot, we found it." ”

"But here except for Wu Slender Zi's underwater efforts, how do you go down?" Emperor Hui woke up the guards with a word.

"Wu Slender Man, can you find other places in that valley where you can go in and out?" A guard asked unwillingly.

"The whole town of stone houses was sunk beneath the valley, and I ran all over the town except for the water source that connected to the outside world, and it was surrounded by closed cliffs. Maybe they'll have some other exit, but I couldn't find it. Wu Shouzi replied.

"As long as any of you have the means to go to the stone house, and the goods in the valley can be taken at will, it will be regarded as an additional reward for this trip, and how much you can take depends on your own ability!" Emperor Hui announced loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the guards were ecstatic, but many people immediately deflated, there are many people who are not good at water, this underwater is not better than land, and it is not strong, just now the head of the sect almost drowned at the bottom of the pool, not to mention those who can only crawl twice in the water.

There will be brave men under the reward!

Most of the guards were eager to try, just waiting for Emperor Hui's order.

"Guard Wu," Wei Wei politely asked Wu Shouzi, "how long will it take you to get from here to the bottom of the pool?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, the subordinates were not familiar with the situation at the bottom of the pool at first, and it really took some effort to investigate, if you re-enter the bottom of the pool this time, according to the previous route has been swimming non-stop, the fastest only one cup of tea is needed, and the subordinates can go back and forth twice within a quarter of an hour, but the process of being sucked into the vortex and rushing into the hole, the time should be calculated separately." Wu Slender replied respectfully.

"In this way, as long as you follow the route of Wu Guard, I think most of you here who know a little about water should be able to deal with it." Vivi said.

After listening to Wu Shouzi's description, the guards have improved their confidence a lot, and they are looking forward to the stone house market town at the bottom of the pond, and they can't hold back their excitement.

Wei Wei asked again: "During that time in the whirlpool, do you think we can all be able to get by?" ”

"Niangniang, this process of being inhaled into the vortex is not a matter of time, on the contrary, the vortex is constantly in contact with the outside world because it is rotating and rolling, constantly contacting the outside world, but it helps the people in it to breathe, the vortex suction is huge, and you must have enough physical strength to keep the body balanced during the tumbling process, otherwise you will be thrown out of the vortex, or you will be washed out of the rest of the stone house, and at the worst you may break your muscles and bones, and your internal organs will be severely damaged."

"It seems that Wu Guards did spend a lot of effort studying at the bottom of the pool." Wei Wei praised, "That is to say, when you are sucked into the vortex, you must try your best to swim to the center point of the vortex, that central point is actually hollow, equivalent to the gap of the vortex, and there is air to breathe, as long as you keep your body balanced, let your body stay in the gap of this vortex, and make sure that you don't get swept into the vortex, you can be rushed into the hole by the power of this vortex, right, Wu Guard?" ”

"That's what Niangniang said, that's what it means." Wu Slender nodded.

"That doesn't sound easy." The guards looked at each other.

"You need to have enough physical strength to support this."

"I didn't have enough physical strength and was rushed away all at once."

"Let's see, if anyone is willing to go with Guard Wu, get ready!" Emperor Hui gave the order.

"I have a solution, I wonder if it's possible?" Weiwei asked Emperor Hui loudly.

"Cai Wei, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"The fact that the Wu guards were able to be swept all the way to the cave by the whirlpool means that this underwater passage is unimpeded. Now it is nothing more than the power of the vortex. I have a way to give everyone a chance to get to the Stone House. Wei Wei turned to look at Wu Slender and asked firmly, "Guard Wu, when you were swept into the cave by the whirlpool, did you notice that there were also these six big iron pillars on the shore?" ”

Wu looked in the direction of Wei Wei's finger, which were six large rusty iron stakes, firmly erected in the boulder. I really don't know whose masterpiece it is, why it's placed here.

Wu Shouzi recalled carefully: "Indeed, it is also by the pond, there are six identical iron piles. ! ”

"I guess there's still chains." Wei Wei stared at Wu Shouzi and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, Niangniang, my subordinates understand! is still thoughtful, and her subordinates admire her. Wu Slender had a suddenly realized expression, and then immediately said to the guards happily, "Niangniang has thought of a way to go in the past for everyone!" ”

Seeing that everyone still looked uncertain, Wei Wei explained to everyone, "When you first came in, did you notice the crack in the mountain that entered the valley? I took a closer look, and this crack was artificially excavated in the later period, and although it is now covered with green moss, the chisel marks are still there, which is one of them. Wei Wei looked at Emperor Hui with an appreciative look and continued, "The second is naturally these six iron pillars, who would be bored and spend so much effort to smash such a thick iron pillar into the boulder, it is naturally useful." Third, just now, the emperor and I saw some undead coming out of the pool and coming out of the stone cracks. Obviously, these undead are the old inhabitants of this valley, or the aborigines, and they should have traveled back and forth between the stone house and the valley by habit. In addition, Wu Guards said that Shiwu Market Town can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and no other exits have been found, so how can these tens of thousands of people enter and exit? So, I would venture to speculate on the purpose of these six pillars. ”

Wei Wei continued, "The iron pillars on the edge of the two pools are connected by iron chains, which is equivalent to an underwater chain bridge, even if the underwater effort is not good, you can still barely pass through! ”

Speaking of this, everyone suddenly realized and praised it one after another.

"Now, what you have to do is to pick some strong and good water quality, accompany the Wu guards into the water, and pull the iron chain from the waterhole over there to connect this end, and everyone can pass through with the help of the iron cable."
