Chapter 440: Water of the Five Elements

I don't know how deep the underground of the eastern mountain range of Kunlun Mountain is, it is said that there is an artificially mined passage on the side of the underground river at the source of the Yellow River!?

Before coming, Ying Zheng didn't think that he might encounter the little traces left by his ancestors, but he didn't want this passage to be so well preserved.

If this passage was built by Nuwa, it would have been tens of thousands of years ago.

The road surface in front of me is quite smooth, but the joints are slightly loose, and the semi-circular walls have no moss or grass at all, although they are uneven, but they are very regular.

After walking a distance, Ying Zheng stopped, squatted down, pulled out the Xuanyuan sword, and with a little force, poked the tip of the sword on the side wall.

There was only one mark on the stone wall, and it was not cracked, let alone punctured.

"Is it a secret stone?" Ying Zheng muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this passage to be made of dense stones. ”

Even this passage is made of dense stones, so there may be some major discoveries ahead!

However, in that era, there were exquisite people who helped the Three Emperors?

With questions, Ying Zheng got up and continued to walk slowly.

As he walked, he carefully examined the walls and floor, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

As I walked, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be some faint light flickering in front of me.

"Master, there's a pool of water in front of you." The little beast whispered, "I smell it." ”

"Pool water?" Ying Zheng was puzzled, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

After walking for a while, I saw that at the end of the secret passage was a pool of water more than a foot wide, and at the other end of the pool was a stone wall, and there was nothing but the pool in front of me.

Ying Zheng leaned down and brought the torch close to the pond, but saw that the water was covered with moss, and he couldn't see the situation below.

He used the lower end of the torch to remove the moss from the near side, but he saw that the water was also green, and he still couldn't see the bottom of the water.

"Looks like there's something strange in the water." Ying Zheng said to the little young beast, "This secret passage obviously leads to one place, and no one can spend so much effort to cultivate that secret passage for this pool." ”

The little beast tentatively flicked the moss in front of it with its front paws, and then put it back to the tip of its nose and sniffed it.

"Master, this water is not ordinary water, but the water of the five elements."

Ying Zheng frowned: "The water of the five elements? How can water also be divided into five elements? ”

The little year beast nodded and said, "According to my earliest memory, it is said that the process of transforming the sea water into fresh water is not a simple step, but through at least five processes, it is successively transformed into the water of the five elements and finally forms fresh water that can be drunk. The green one in front of you is the first type of water of the five elements - wood water. ”

"Mushui ......" Ying Zhengzhi heard this statement for the first time, and couldn't help asking, "That means that seawater can finally become fresh water after experiencing changes in fire water, earth water, and gold water?" ”

"In that part of my ancient memory, it is." The little year beast replied.

Ying Zheng was puzzled: "Then why is there no record of this in the inheritance classics of the Tiancheng lineage?" ”

The little year beast explained: "Master, you also know that after the natural source power was damaged, the two energies that dominated the blue vein and the red vein were damaged, and the translocation of the mountains and seas of the Nine Shadows and Nine Heavens exacerbated the leakage of this power. ”

"So after the messenger of the Protoss rescued the survivors of your human race, he immediately sent Jingwei to repair the power that dominated the blue vein, and the energy that dominated the red vein needed to be repaired slowly, so I handed over this task to Fu Xi and passed it on to you."

Jingwei reclamation!

Ying Zheng had long heard Ji Fa say that when the catastrophe of the destruction of the world occurred, Jingwei was Kuafu's assistant, and later Kuafu fled south with the survivors, and then handed over the task of repairing the power of the sea to Jingwei, which gave Jingwei the later legend.

"I see." Ying Zheng said, "In that case, the water of the five elements should exist in the core of the natural source force, why does it appear here?" ”

"I don't know." The little beast shook its head, "But there should be some mechanism under this water, I'll go down and take a look." ”

"You can't see how deep the bottom is, what's hidden in it, so don't go." Ying Zheng said cautiously. The little young beast smiled: "Have you forgotten that what I am best at is diving, not to mention that after being resurrected by the water system Nirvana Pearl, I am closer to the water element, even if I stay at the bottom of the sea for a few days, it will be fine, let alone this small pool." ”

Ying Zheng said in his heart, and there was no other way to do it too well, so he nodded in agreement.

The little beast paddled lightly into the water, probed for a moment, and then burrowed to the bottom.

Ying Zheng watched the rippling waves of water while listening intently.

The young beast appears to swim around the edge of the pool before diving down.

Ying Zheng was left alone in the secret passage, feeling gloomy and somewhat cautious.

He looked back and saw that the direction of the entrance was not unusual, so he turned his gaze back to the water.

After a while, the little year beast came out with a patch of green algae on its head, and it looked quite funny and cute.

"How's it going, what's next?" Ying Zheng asked urgently.

"It's not too deep." Xiao Nian Beast said, "There seems to be a stone gate directly in front of the bottom of the water, but I don't see where the mechanism is." ”

"Stone Gate?" Ying Zheng wondered, "Could it be the entrance to the front?" ”

He stood up and looked carefully at the stone walls on either side, and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

"Probably in the water." Xiao Nian Beast said, "I'll go down and take a look." ”

Before Yingzheng could speak, the little beast dived again.

Ying Zheng began to worry, the mechanism here, which is easy to touch casually, a careless may trigger some traps.

I was worried, but I noticed a string of bubbles gurgling out of the water.

This must not be the breath exhaled by the little year beast, it can hold its breath in the water, could it really touch the mechanism?

As the bubbles bubbled up, the visible surface of the water was slowly descending.

At this time, the little beast showed its head at the edge of the pool again, and its two front paws held the edge of the pool, jumped hard, and returned to Yingzheng's side.

Ying Zheng hurriedly took out a hand towel to wipe its body.

"There's a buckle underneath that, and you can turn a knob when you move it." Xiao Nian Beast said, "I tried it, and bubbles bubbled up from the cracks under the water, and I came up." ”

Because of the construction of the royal tomb, Ying Zheng has also learned some from Ji Fa and Jing Fan in recent years, and he understands that the organ should control the partition under the water, and there is probably a closed space under the partition, which is full of air, if the partition is opened, the air below will rise up, and the water above will flow down.

"When the water runs dry, I'll go down and have a look." Ying Zheng wiped the moss from the little beast vigorously.

"Wait for me in a moment." The little beast walked back some distance, stood on the clearing and shook off the dirt on its body, and most of the moss on its body was removed.

Install the latest version. 】

At this time, the water surface had dropped by nearly half, and Ying Zheng re-lit the torch, and observed the movement of the water surface while roasting the little beast dry.

In less than half an hour, the water in the pool finally flowed clean, leaving only a moss on the bottom of the pool, and a stone gate really appeared on the opposite wall of the pool.

Ying Zheng tore the handkerchief in two, covered his feet separately, and then jumped down.

It's not that he likes to be clean, it's mainly that there is really no place to change the shoes that are dirty in this place, and you must know how far the road ahead may be.

I came to the stone gate lightly, and sure enough, I saw that there was also a mechanism next to it, as the little beast said.

Ying Zheng broke the buckle and turned the knob, only to hear a "click" and a sound from the door.

The gap in the middle of the stone door also widened a little.

Ying Zheng gently pushed the handle of the stone door, but there was no movement.

I pushed it harder, only to hear the creak of the stone door, revealing a gap.

It looks like it's open!

At this time, the little year beast also jumped down again and helped Yingzheng push the stone gate on the other side.

The stone door was finally pushed open with a "creak", but it was pitch black inside, there was nothing to see, and the air was a little dirty.

Ying Zheng took the little beast back a few steps, then re-lit the torch and looked inside.

Inside the stone gate, there was another secret passage!

Could it be that there is a pool at the end of this secret passage?

Ying Zheng patted the little beast's head and said softly, "Keep walking, maybe there are four pools ahead." ”

The little beast nodded, and followed Yingzheng into the secret passage in front.

Unlike the straight passage just now, this second passage has a few corners, and according to the direction, it seems to have turned in a circle.

And at the end of the second passage, there is a second pool, the difference is that this pool is circular.

The water in this pool is even more weird, it is like blood, it is a red color, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sure enough, there is fire and water in this pool." The little beast probed it with its front paws again, making sure it didn't do any damage, and then jumped down again.

Ying Zheng was a little curious, and reached out to touch the red water, only to feel that the water temperature was not too low, slightly higher than the temperature of the first wooden water just now.

It didn't take long for the little year beast to poke its head out: "Master, I haven't seen any mechanism in this pool." ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "The mechanism is not necessarily placed on the four walls, it may also be at the bottom of the pool. ”

"Oh, then I'll go down and have a look."

Sure enough, not long after it went down, bubbles bubbled up in the middle of the pool.

The little beast popped up, jumped up again, and then went straight to the clearing to shake off the droplets.

"It's so muddy, can you see it clearly?" Ying Zheng asked.

Xiao Nian Beast said: "This water surface is like the algae just now, it is covered on the surface, and the bottom of the water is not so red. ”

After waiting for a while, the red water had run out, and only a layer of red-like algae remained at the bottom of the pool, like a red carpet spread on the ground.

When I came to the center of the pool, I saw a circular pit.

"This is what I just stepped on." Little Nian Beast Road.

The water in the pool is gone, but how can the stone door be opened?

Ying Zheng squatted down and looked at the pit carefully, only to see that its center seemed to be different from the color of the periphery.

So he stretched out his right foot and stepped on it.

I saw that the center of the pit had fallen again.

Crunch, the circular stone door directly opposite opened a gap.

Ying Zheng stepped forward slowly and pushed open the stone door with force.

"It's no different." Little Nian Beast Road.

"What, you want to challenge something a little more difficult?" Ying Zheng's eyes were a little weird.

"Or something else." Xiao Nian Beast said, "If it's more difficult, my IQ won't be enough." ”

Ying Zheng laughed and took it into the third secret passage.

Interestingly, this third passage is very similar to the pool just now, and it actually extends downward in a circle.

One man and one beast were cooked, and they came directly to the third pool.

This third pool is a trapezoidal structure, and the surface of the water is also black-brown and looks like ink.

The little beast was about to jump in, but was stopped by Yingzheng.

"You're not afraid of getting dirty?"

The little beast said, "Isn't it dirty now?" I'm in two pools, and I don't care about this one. ”

It was about to jump down, but it was stopped again.

"The water in this pool is so dark that you can't see it when you go down." Ying Zhengdao.

"What then?"

Ying Zheng pointed to it and said, "Look there." ”

I saw a rope hanging from the lower edge of the ceiling with an iron ring.

"If you're right, the ring is the mechanism."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the little beast had already jumped up and stretched out its claws towards the iron ring.

However......

Poof!

The iron ring was not hooked, and the little beast suddenly fell into the black-brown earth and water, stirring up a large wave.
