Chapter 58: Shanghuai

The blasted passage brought up the silt, revealing the deep hole in it. The air pressure and water pressure begin to see-saw, rebalancing the position of the water level. The blasting water rushed all the way up the shore of the reservoir, drowning over the body of the defeated Yucun.

He choked on a few mouthfuls of water, barely recovered from the severe pain in his body, and with a little strength, he propped himself up and leaned against the wall on one side.

He's still reviewing what just happened.

What Yucun knows is like a prison, in fact, it will not be broken simply because of a simple external touch to the core.

"So...... Could the problem be with His Highness? ”

His Royal Highness, the heir designated by His Majesty...... What kind of existence should it be?

As he muttered to himself, the flickering lights shone into the hole.

Slightly dazzling, Yu Cun stretched out his hand to block the brilliance, and heard the sound of hurried running, as well as the sound of exclamation that was difficult to suppress. For Sunset City, very few people know about this underground cavern.

"Commander of the Third Legion?"

It was a familiar voice called Yucun.

The commander of the Third Army was the last to be in the moat. He didn't stay long in this position before he was transferred to a civilian position.

Yu Cun raised his head in embarrassment and saw a familiar face, it was his adjutant in the army at the beginning, from the Xinshui family, called Shui Jie. The man was emaciated, as if he had some strange disease, and he was languishing. He held a torch and was followed by soldiers who followed him.

The flames filled the entire underground reservoir and illuminated the still bubbling clothes. Shui Huang saw the mess of public opinion, and his eyes flickered:

"How did you get so badly hurt? Commander of the Third Army ......"

The news of the diving pursuit has been passed on to the army.

"There was some accident. There was an unexpected clash of force, and I was knocked down, and they fled as fast as they could, and went into the water hole, and for about an hour I did not see them turn back, and there must have been a road, probably leading to the Huaishui outside. The chief of Yucun sighed and said, "Don't call the commander of the third legion, Commander Shui, I'm not anymore." ”

He accepted the support of the soldier and stood up.

Mizumi glanced at the water hole. The water hole is still bubbling up.

"I didn't expect you to be knocked down......"

Yucun laughed a few times.

"Haha, it's useless to be old, and now, I, a stupid person, don't know how to explain to His Majesty the fact that they have escaped...... Haha......" he said, "By the way, Chief Shui, I want to ask you one thing, has His Majesty decided what to do?" ”

Shuibei Says:

"His Majesty has dispatched an army to decide to blockade the whole city, and he must welcome His Highness back to the city."

This is something that Yucun has already guessed.

"It's okay to be alive, it's okay to be a corpse."

Then, Shui Huang narrowed his eyes, and his tone was extremely serious.

With the support of the soldiers, he listened as he walked, his eyes widened...... This is something that the public has some conjecture but never dares to sit on.

Shui Huang said a few words to the herald.

The herald immediately went up.

It didn't take long for the news to reach the main members of the Protectorate.

"Search the surroundings of Huaishui."

The 1st Regiment of the Protectors was in charge of the ground search of the inner city. The First Legion, also known as the First General Legion, is also the first legion established in Sunset City, and its predecessor was the regimental training armed force that existed when Sunset City was not a city. Up to now, all the configurations are complete, whether it is reconnaissance, engineering, baggage, discipline and training, as well as above and below the ground, and all kinds of strange objects.

The commander of the 1st Army asked the herald:

"Is there a portrait?"

"Yes."

The herald showed the portraits of Gu Chuan and His Highness to the commander of the First Legion.

"Yes."

The Commander of the 1st Regiment gave the portrait to the adjutant and commanded:

"Search with the Sky Mirror."

The adjutant nodded silently, then trotted to the basement of the reconnaissance battalion of the 1st General Regiment, and instructed the guard:

"Open the ceiling window."

Then, with the sound of the rumbling of mechanical devices on the ground, he walked into the basement, which was a long corridor with rooms on either side. He entered the third room. In the third room, there was a black coffin with a rectangular shape taller than a human head. The coffin only shows a square crystal on the back, perhaps a whole crystal is placed in the coffin.

At this time, the window of the roof was opened, and the rain from heaven poured through the window and sprinkled in the basement of the third room.

The adjutant calmly attached the portrait to the crystal, and after about ten seconds, the portrait was uncovered.

Only then did I look at the portrait, and only the skin was left on the portrait, and the ink on the pen was blurred.

But the crystal left a portrait of Gu Chuan and His Royal Highness.

Then, through a leak in the top of the coffin, a brilliant light went straight to the heavens, churning among the dark clouds, astonishing the citizens of the inner city and those who knew the scene of the outer city.

Among them is Mrs. Ogiri.

Lady Ogiri was also a guest at the Central Prohibition Palace. The First Regiment was stationed not far from the Central Prohibition Palace.

At that time, she was in His Highness's room, leaning against the window, talking to another doctor who had been called, and under the watchful eye of the attendants, she calmly exchanged her views on the incident.

At this time, Mrs. Oki looked out the window at the beam of light that went straight up to the sky like a high pillar standing up to the sky, fingered the flowers, and let go of her brows and said:

"The First Legion used the Sky Mirror."

The doctor across from her said:

"Sky Mirror...... The efficiency of the Sky Mirror is not high, right? ”

"In rainy weather, many strange things are not useful."

"Yes...... Also. ”

After the beam of the Heavenly Mirror penetrated into the clouds, only a moment later, a large area of brilliant aurora suddenly appeared in the clouds, constantly churning, changing into strange and unpredictable light and shadow. Winding radial, continuously changing beams of light close to green or red gradually lengthened among the dark clouds, at first they were only a point of light, but in a short time they were hundreds of kilometers up and down, across the north and south of the city, not knowing east and west.

At that time, Gu Chuan and His Royal Highness had just crossed the winding road facing outward from the reservoir.

It's a weird passage, and there's a strange little cave with air in the middle. There are corpses in the cave. This air is also a toxic gas after the corpse has decomposed. They only sat in that small cave for a short time, and when they regained some strength, they held their breath and quickly swam out again, and then swam into the vast Shanghuai.

It's just that Shanghuai is the most dangerous time, and the turbidity waves roar fiercely in the storm, whipping the earth and crushing the embankment. The sound of the rain is thin and rapid, while the sound of the waves is deep and intense. The thunder above the mountains shook the river. From time to time, wood, corpses, or other materials float down the clear stream.

Gu Chuan opened his eyes in the water and saw a school of fish. It's also speeding into shallow waters.

This is due to heavy rain and lack of oxygen in the water body.

But at that time, the three of them were not as good as fish that could breathe water, and they were close to suffocation, and it was difficult to move in the whirlpool of various undercurrents. Gu Chuan desperately wanted to swim to the water, but was swept away by the big waves. They are like three duckweeds, and the depth of the water is as deep as a moat in less than ten meters.

Fortunately, at this time, His Highness's strength came into play again, piercing the huge waves with air waves, and having his own strength to help the other two swimmers stabilize their bodies in the water. Gu Chuan looked back at His Highness, His Highness only closed his eyes in the water, and the corners of his mouth were curved. Gu Chuan was silent, his heart was stirring with a feeling that he didn't know, and he only opened his arms and went upstream with all his strength.

So for the first time, in the middle of Shanghuai, in the most turbulent waves of the most vast and immense water, the three fugitives suddenly showed their heads, opened their mouths to the sky, and breathed with their nostrils.

The world was still dark, and the rain was pouring down on the faces of the three different escapees. Gu Chuan didn't feel uncomfortable, he only felt fresh.

"I feel like I'm not afraid to go anywhere now."

Thunder roared.

"What?"

His Highness didn't hear it.

Her gaze was not on the people on either side, but on the distant pyramid-like Central Forbidden Palace. That's where she lives. And here, she could only see from afar from the palace. The rain that falls on her body is brand new, and the people around her are also brand new, not introduced to her by Her Majesty, and all the experiences are so incredible.

"I said I wanted to go to the end of the worldβ€”"

Gu Chuan laughed.

Somehow, His Highness laughed too.

The gloomy waters, the pouring rain, the children in the waves whispered words.

The toeless man saw the outside world for the first time, and he was even more surprised than His Highness and Gu Chuan, all of which were incredible and extremely surprising to him. That's when a baby sees the world. When he opened his eyes, he saw the boundless water, the sky without beginning and end, the rain line connecting the sky and the water, and the end of the water.

He spun his body in the water, and the voice of his own emotion exhaled from his mouth:

"Ah......h

At the end of the water is the glorious Sunset City.

Thousands, or tens of thousands, of lights flickered brightly along the water surface on both sides, just like the starlight that Gu Chuan said underground. The air is so humid and fresh, and the heavens and the earth are so vast. He saw schools of fish swimming into the sky in the midst of the torrential rain, and he saw that there was fire on the distant water, and it was the fire of the ship. The boat leaning against the shore made a noise and was swaying in the storm. There is no wall to the top, no wall to the left, no wall to the right, the reflection of the mountains in front and the mountains in the back.

And he looked down, what Gu Chuan called the prison in his mouth...... But it was the place where he originally lived, and the place where he was born, that disappeared under his feet, in the rolling torrent.

What the mountains are, the toeless people don't know yet.

He asked Gu Chuan:

"What are those dark shadows in the distance?"

"The black shadow is ......" Gu Chuan dived into the water again, then swam a few meters to the shore, and then suddenly leaned out of the water, taking a breath, "It's a mountain!" ”

The rain was so heavy that the toedless man could not hear clearly, and asked repeatedly:

"What is it?"

"It's a mountain!"

Gu Chuan also replied loudly.

"Is the mountain the end of the world?"

"Mountains are not the end of the world! Mountains are walls! But there's something behind the walls! ”

"Ahh......h

The toeless man tilted his head sideways and let out another incomprehensible exclamation.

Then he suddenly shuddered, and then fell into his own thoughts, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The water is not deep, and there are occasionally rocks that are exposed to the water. Originally, they wanted to swim to the shore, but at this moment, Gu Chuan noticed the colorful reflection on the water.

Then the three heads looked up to the sky together.

At that time, it was the moment when the beam of light emitted by the Celestial Mirror reached the sky, and then the sky was full of colorful colors for thousands of kilometers, like rippling water.

Gu Chuan only looked at it for a short while, and then saw that his face was reflecting the light on the reflection of the water, and when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately dived into the water. Most of this symptom has been resolved.

"This is the Heavenly Mirror."

Gu Chuan didn't know much about strange things, but the Heavenly Mirror happened to be something recorded in Mr. De's history books.

There were many bridges in Shanghuai, and they swam towards the shore while approaching the bottom of one of the bridges. Along the way, Gu Chuan only dared to ventilate immediately, and then immediately sank into the dark and dreary waves.

When you reach the darkness that the aurora can't find, you dare to come out of the water a little longer to speak.

"Tianjing, I've heard ...... from the doctor"

His Highness has also heard of it.

Gu Chuan frowned and said:

"It shined in the Fifth Twilight War, which I read about in the history books of the inner city......"

The so-called strange thing is an existence that no one knows the exact principle, and even if the general principle is known, it will never be reproduced.

Tianjing is one such example.

The discovery of the Celestial Mirror was in a valley, all the animals in the valley were glowing, and the top of the valley was shrouded in brilliant and colorful auroras, which once made Sunset City think that it had found a magical land, but in fact, it was only the effect of the Celestial Mirror.

The image reflected on the surface of the mirror will be emitted into the air by it in the form of light, and once it hits something similar, the similar thing will also emit a strong light and lead all the way to the sky. This refraction of light is extremely mysterious. Unless it is a confined space, it may be exposed to the light through the curtains, and it may also be locked in position.

"Just like us now, if we show our faces, maybe our faces will glow and they will find out."

Gu Chuan once guessed that this might be related to the reflection of light on the surface of the object, but at that time, he didn't know that he would become a target one day.

"In other words, as soon as we emerge, we will be discovered, and if we want to hide, we have to hide under the river."

His Highness gently slapped the water and looked to the shore.

Today's shore is anything but peaceful. In the distance, you can see small groups of people carrying lamps coldly coming and going. With her knowledge, she naturally knew that those were all people of the 1st General Corps.

"Yes." Gu Chuan said. When he had finished speaking, he said cautiously, almost in disappointment, "But before that, there is still something to say......

"What's the matter?"

Gu Chuan's face showed hesitation, and he didn't see the spirit of facing the public opinion before, he said:

"I've been successfully sent out by you, you have done it successfully...... I am grateful to you, Your Highness, but are you going to follow me? You can go back to your crown...... I don't think I can drag you down anymore......"

Hearing this, His Highness turned his head and looked at him seriously:

"Not yet, you're still in prison at any time...... That, that, I didn't do it all in vain. I'll definitely send you out of Sunset City. Wait until you get out of Sunset City, and when you arrive at a safe place, you'll be fine...... Okay......"

Gu Chuan looked at the girl's bright eyes in a daze.

The young man's water-washed face glowed with a lovely blush from the crimson aurora borealis.

The Toeless Man looked bewildered at him and then at her in the shadow of the bridge.

The young man turned his head and saw the same procession on the shore, and said:

"Then we're going to discuss the next step together."

"Do you have any plans? In the water, your body will not last long. We need to go ashore as soon as possible. ”

"But we can't kill the city guards." Gu Chuan said, call His Royal Highness a meal. Her little head is really thinking about how to fight her way out.

"So how do we get there?"

Gu Chuan just looked down the water.

At that time, the water surface was dark, surging up and down, and the Huai water in the wind and rain continued to flow down, until it reached the vast water gate of the city wall, and then became Xia Huai. What separates the lower Huai from the upper Huai is not the magic of nature, but the man-made water gate.

This is the Shanghuai District, and there is only a water gate separated from the Xiahuai District.

He said:

"We went down from the Water Gate, and when we got to the outer city, we avoided the Sky Mirror and went ashore."
