Chapter 127: Crossing the River
When we walked to the edge of the chain, I was shocked, I don't know when the chain was erected, about the thickness of an arm, this end of the chain is deep into the cliff, it seems to grow naturally from the mountain, the other end points to the middle of the river, disappearing into the dense fog on the river. And the whole body of this iron chain is black, in such a humid environment there is not a trace of rust, I shook it lightly with my hand, the long iron chain shook gently, it didn't feel heavy!
Ye Guangci didn't seem to notice whether the chain was strong or not, he stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the shadowy Jiang Xinzhou as if he was talking to himself:
"This is really a piece of feng shui treasure! Where the water comes from the gate of heaven, if you don't see the source of the flow of the gate of heaven open, the water goes to the place where the household is called, and the place where you don't see the water is closed, the water is the main wealth, the door is open, the wealth comes, and the household is closed and the wealth is inexhaustible. This small island, in the middle of the river, the Tibetan wind gathers qi, the water follows the mountain, and the mountain boundary water stops, it is really a rare feng shui treasure!!
I thought to myself, I deserve to be in the antiques business! Dealing with tomb robbers a lot, after he woke up last time, this professional knowledge has been made up again!
I wasn't interested in any of this, so I said: Let's stop grinding, what treasure is not treasure, is it possible that you still want to be buried here! Let's cross the river
Then the black baby let us take off our coats, hang on the chain, and then grab the clothes with both hands and slowly slide out, I watched the black baby disappear in front of the fog in a blink of an eye, the chain was tense, squeaked, I really pinched a sweat for him, after a while, the chain shook slightly, I was a little relieved, at least the chain was not broken. So I shouted at the other side, Black Baby! Black baby! Are you okay! But except for his own echo, he didn't hear Heiwa's response.
"Forget it, don't shout! The wind and waves are too big He can't hear it, I'll go over first, and the two of you will come over" After Ye Guangci finished speaking, he put his coat on the iron chain, kicked his legs, and slid out like a black baby, and disappeared into the thick river fog in a blink of an eye.
"Spirit Pattern, are you okay?" I asked Ye Lingwen while taking off my coat.
"What's wrong with that! That's nothing compared to being on the Gunger Peak! Don't worry," Lingwen said to me with a smile as she put on her coat.
"That's good! Be careful! I'll be right after that! I said, leaning on her large backpack. Watching her slowly slide out to buy, I suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in my heart.
After a while, the shaking of the iron chain gradually stopped, and I also slid out like them, but I saw a burst of river fog blowing in my face, wet and cold, and as the height of the river fog became thicker and thicker, the waves under my feet were surging, the iron chain rattled mixed with the sound of big waves hitting the cliff was always endless, because the height difference between Jiang Xinzhou and the cliff was very large, so I slid faster and faster, the wind in my ears whirred, and gradually the waves hit my legs, and a thick fog blocked my eyes, so that I could not see the scene ahead
As the speed got faster and faster, I estimated that it was almost time to reach Jiangxinzhou, and sure enough, I saw a huge black shadow in front of me rushing towards me, because the speed was too fast, I didn't have time to dodge Even the person with the backpack slammed into it, I was knocked into a daze, fell to the ground, and when I stood up and looked, my heart tightened, only to see that the surroundings were full of dense fog, and the visibility was less than fifty meters. And what I just bumped into was a huge stone cow statue, no less than three meters high, the iron chain stretched from the north bank of the river, has not been in the mouth of the stone cow, but after years of tempering, the huge stone cow is only a silhouette. But there was no sign of the three of them.
I looked at the surrounding environment while calling out to Ye Lingwen, Ye Guangci and Heiwa, but there was no response. I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and wanted to call Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci, but I found that there was no signal on my mobile phone here. I was shocked in my heart, the four of us all slipped through this iron lock across the river, and the Heiwa who came first and I would not be separated by more than ten minutes at most, how could they not see their figures, not to mention that I saw this river on the north bank just now that the river is not very big, where else can they go? Could it be that they have already crossed the river from this river to the south bank, this is absolutely impossible, they can't cross the river without waiting for me, and they can't be so fast
At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened, coupled with the dense fog on the island, I feel like I am in a labyrinth, I took out a strong flashlight, by the light of the flashlight, I walked and looked for the traces of the three of them, but I shouted through my throat, still did not hear any response, the three of them disappeared as if out of thin air, leaving no trace.
I went around this little island in the middle of the river, and found nothing, this little island was full of stones, and some low shrubs grew in the crevices of the stones, and nothing else. And what's worse is that I didn't find an iron lock connecting from this Jiangxinzhou to the south bank of the river from this river, and I don't know how he plans to take us across the river
I grabbed my flashlight and turned back to Shi Niu, I thought that no matter what happened to the three of them, I still didn't want to run around. Staying here and waiting for them is the wisest option.
I was about to unload my backpack, but I accidentally caught a glimpse of the iron lock in the mouth of the stone ox shaking quite widely, as if someone had just slipped from the iron lock. I was suddenly scared in my heart, not to mention that this place was at night, even if it was daylight, it was impossible for anyone to come, but the iron lock was clearly shaking again, what the hell was going on! Could it be that there is some mechanism on this big stone ox that drives the iron lock to shake? I turned on my flashlight and looked closely around the huge stone ox, which must have been some years old. It is said to be a stone cow, but the edges and corners have long been smoothed out by the wind and rain, and a general outline can be seen. However, the place where it stood was flat and neat, and I took a closer look and found that the four thick legs of the stone ox were standing on a platform hewn out of a huge stone, but it may have been standing here for too long, and the platform had slowly sunk into the ground and was buried by sand and gravel.
I bowed my head and walked to the platform, thinking that I would spend the night under the belly of the stone ox, and that everything would have to wait until dawn. Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped under the belly of the cow, I heard the slate under my feet suddenly open, and my feet were empty, and the whole thing fell down.
I only felt that my body was sliding downward, and the speed was getting faster and faster, my body was hit by the surrounding stone wall and the pain was unbearable, but fortunately it was not a vertical fall, I desperately tried to grab the stone wall to stop the downward momentum, but the stone wall was too slippery, and I couldn't hold it. In the end, I didn't know what I bumped into, and finally stopped
The bones in my body were like they had been knocked apart, and my face was wet and I didn't know if it was water or blood, but fortunately, the flashlight in my hand was still on, and I held the flashlight and looked around, it turned out that I had fallen into a small stone room, the ground was full of mud, and I saw a sarcophagus in the middle of this stone room at a glance. And the lid of the sarcophagus had been lifted and fell to the ground beside it. This must be a burial chamber, and it looks like it has been visited!
