"It's been more than 30 years, little by little." I say.

"No, two adults," said the old man, "at the beginning of the period, it can indeed be piled up little by little, but when it is almost closed, even if it is the dry season, the impact of the water is too great, and it took more than a year to complete the closing, and in the end, a few strong mountain spirits were invited to use a hundred children as sacrifices to close it!"

「…… How cruel?" Bingbing couldn't help but shudder.

"But 1 said 1, those mountain spirits are still quite benevolent, they didn't eat those hundred children, and after they were raised in the mountains, they also taught their skills, and they were finally released." The old man laughed.

"That must be the Bai Ze Spirit!" Bingbing said with certainty.

The old man nodded, "Exactly."

I didn't squeak, but paid attention to the change in the breath of the big catfish under my feet, she didn't react, it seems that it should also be the Bai Ze Essence Clan, if it is the Mountain and Sea Essence Clan, hearing this, there will be some emotional fluctuations, right?

The closer we got to the dam, the more turbulent the water became, and even the big catfish couldn't swim a little, so I had to let it come to the shore, and the four of us went ashore and walked half a mile to the side of the dam.

On both sides of the dam, there are steep mountains, with a slope of more than 60 degrees, I am worried that the old man is not good and does not want him to go up, but the old man said that there is no problem, I am afraid that we will not find the equipment of the pump room.

I used a rope to tie myself and the old man's waist together to prevent him from falling, and the old man was so moved that he broke two branches and used them as trekking poles.

Bingbing herself is a rock climber, and the slope is flat for her, and the cavalry captain is not bad in fitness, and the two of them explored the front to find the best way to climb, and soon led us to the top of the dam.

This dam is very solid, no wonder it is okay for 400 years, the width of the dam is very sufficient, it is possible to build several standard football fields on it, and, for some reason, the dam is not flat, but there is soil (obviously artificial), after 400 years, a small forest has been formed, and the trees of the mountains on both sides are connected, if it is not for the water upstream and downstream, you can understand at a glance that this is a dam, and the layman looks at the past, and thinks it is a bridge formed naturally.

The old man was right, as soon as we entered the dam, we lost our way in the obscured woods, the intricate forest paths, littered with animal footprints, feces and even bones. It is estimated that many terrestrial creatures regard this dam as a bridge.

The old man said that up and down a hundred miles, only here can cross the river from land, and the other places are ferry boats.

Without the old man leading the way, it would have been difficult for us to find the pump house hidden in the woods, the pump room is only the size of a house, and the outer walls are covered with moss, which at first glance looks like a public toilet in disrepair.

The lock on the door has been mottled, just hanging, not locked, it should have been opened by the people who tried to open the gate to release water to fight the drought after there was no staff to manage it.

The cavalry captain, fearing danger inside, took off the lock and rushed in with his gun in hand.

Before we could follow up, I heard a sudden sound from inside, and I hurriedly turned on the phase qi technique, but I didn't see anything, only the cavalry captain walking briskly outside.

Soon, the captain ran out and beckoned us to retreat.

"Lao Wang, what are you doing?" I asked, in Wusan City, I learned that the captain's name was Wang Shoujie, and he had always been called "captain" before.

"I don't see clearly, it looks like a monster, you hide behind that rock, I'll deal with them!" The captain is very responsible.

The point is, he is confident in the gun in his hand!

Bingbing and I supported the old man and hid behind a rock not far from the door.

I recalled the scene before the door was opened, and the lock was indeed hung on it, and there was a door plug, that is, it could not be someone deliberately ambushed inside, it was probably something that had been living in the small house before.

"It's big inside, isn't it?" I asked the old man, my phase qi technique, encountered a barrier, and I felt that in the small house, there was still an underground part, that is, the part embedded in the dam body.
