Chapter 278: Undercurrent

The moment I unlocked the coiled dragon, I was rushed forward by the huge current.

The rushing water washed away the entire underground river, and the mud and sand rolled in with large rocks.

Bang –

A stone struck me in the back, and in an instant the golden light of the protective body stretched out.

The stone shattered, and my body sped forward, hugging Murphy in front of her, and protecting her head over my chest.

"Curl up, protect your abdomen, go with the current, don't be nervous!"

Countless large and small stones smashed against the golden light of the protective body on my back, and the cavern behind me was collapsing rapidly, bringing more stones as sharp as blades.

If I hadn't protected the golden light of the body, or if I hadn't been promoted from an innocent Taoist priest to an immortal Taoist priest, I would have probably been smashed into a dumpling filling at this time.

I could feel Murphy trembling in my arms.

I was relieved and said, "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine."

Murphy: "I'm not afraid, you're trembling!"

Only then did I realize that my whole body was shaking with nervousness.

The dark and oppressive caverns, the raging water, the rocks that kept coming from my back, and the fact that I had been racking my brains to find an exit before.

I was so nervous that I forgot that I was shaking with fear.

In case the underground current here circulates in the underground river and gets stuck in a certain formation, we can only wait silently for the lack of oxygen to die.

Even thousands of years after death, the corpses are trapped in the ground, never to see the light of day!

I don't know how long I drifted in the turbulent water.

The surrounding chaos, darkness, and the gurgling sound of running water continued to ring in my ears, and Murphy, who was in my arms, had already fallen unconscious from lack of oxygen.

My cultivation has reached the realm of an immortal Taoist, and I can probably carry it underwater for about an hour.

Every once in a while, I have to give Murphy a breath so that she doesn't suffocate to death.

But I know that if I continue like this, I won't live long......

Gradually, I felt dizzy, and in the dark gap, I don't know when a light lit up, and finally came out! ap.

At this moment, my lungs and chest seemed to explode, and I hurriedly opened my mouth greedily, wanting to take a big breath of fresh air, but the water that choked into my lungs woke me up instantly!

Probably the light before I was on the verge of death, I suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and there was still darkness around me, and everything just now was just my near-death fantasy.

It seems that I can't avoid this catastrophe......

My throat choked, I couldn't help coughing a few times underwater, and more water poured into my mouth and nose, I couldn't control it anymore, and my eyelids rolled and I lost consciousness completely.

In the last moment of my coma, I felt as if a strong arm was grabbing my arm out of the water and lying on the soft ground.

"Kid, hold on, grandpa is waiting for you at the finish line!"

Grandpa's familiar voice sounded in my ears, and I sat up in surprise and shouted, "Grandpa!"

Murphy and I were lying in the soft shade of the river, the warm sunlight rising from the mountains to the east.

The sunshine that is so common makes me feel precious at the moment.

The surroundings were empty, there was no grandfather, and not far in front of us was an underground pit that spewed water outward, and we should have been washed ashore by the current.

Thinking about my experience in the dark and narrow undercurrent, I can't help but get goosebumps on my back.

In another twenty minutes at most, I will be suffocated underwater, but I will survive this ordeal.

Murphy was lying next to me, his stomach swollen like a leather ball, but fortunately, his breathing was fairly even.

"Hey, it's time to get up!"

I put my palms together and pressed Murphy's lower abdomen.

She was like a pressurized well, and when I pressed her stomach, a large stream of water spewed out, and I pressed it for about a minute before she woke up.

Murphy looked around blankly, "

What a beautiful place, are we in heaven?"

"If you want to go to heaven, you will have to wait a few years, and you will live."

I stood up, blew my nose vigorously, and squirted out the sludge from my throat and nasal passages.

Murphy coughed up the last few mouthfuls of water and sat beside me blankly, remembering what was going on after a while.

She stared at me with some emotion, "Qianlong , at the last moment, you gave up following Sun Mingjin into the tomb just to save me?"

"Don't be sentimental, I didn't grasp the rope steadily."

Murphy and I escaped, but at the moment my mood wasn't much better.

The only entrance to the tomb that could be entered had completely collapsed and sunk into the ground, and Sun Mingjin, who entered the tomb alone, was completely trapped to death.

In the package I left for him, there were three people who could hold on to food for ten days, and there would be no shortage of water in the undercurrent, and he should be fine for a month.

But what happens after a month?

With Sun Mingjin's strength alone, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the tomb!

After Murphy and I got out of trouble, we found the road as soon as possible and took a car to the top of the Phoenix of Jinniu Mountain.

The scene in front of me was even more desperate than I had imagined.

The ground had collapsed into flat ground, and the water coming out of it had completely washed away the geological structure, making it difficult to dig a hole into the tomb.

Murphy's face was cloudy for a long time, and he suddenly said, "If I can't do it, I'll go to the inspection office and turn myself in!"

"Presumably, with their strength, a large-scale civil engineering excavation is carried out here, and there should be a chance to dig out Sun Mingjin!"

"Impossible."

I was sure to say, "Even if a digging team of more than 300 people is dispatched, it will take at least two months to dig through the ground, and Sun Mingjin will already starve to death by then."

"Also, ordinary people can't withstand the yin qi in the ancient tomb, and there is a high probability that these people will also die."

Hearing my words, Murphy's eyes darkened.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed my mind.

Although Murphy's idea didn't work, it gave me a big wake-up call!

I hurriedly jumped into the car: "I found a way to save people! Let's go back now!"

As soon as we got back to the house, Murphy and I immediately got to work.

I found the fragments of those ancient bronzes from Liu Wenju's warehouse and put them in the furnace to reforge them.

"Murphy, you take the flour you use in the kitchen, go outside and find fine soil, and sift ten pounds of mud for me!"

Murphy didn't ask much, grabbed the sieve and immediately went out to get busy.

After a while, he entered the door with a bag of yellow mud as fine as dust.

"And then?"

"Then put the yellow mud into the water, sift out the gravel at the bottom, and then let the yellow muddy water stand, and there will be no sand at all!"
