Chapter XVIII. Hidden paths
18:31 p.m.
Under the command of Zhou Qianqian, the bus we took slowly drove into the suburbs. At this time, Zhou Qianqian had already taken off everyone's blindfolds, but Lou Beisheng was still blindfolded. And before me, Xiao Qicai, Wang Shaocheng, and Yu Mengmeng got on the bus. Lou Beisheng was also taken away by another group of people. It seems that he and Zhou Qianqian should be in the same group, but why should Lou Beisheng be separated alone, according to my guess, it may be that Lou Beisheng is going to "change" at night, of course they know this fact. Therefore, it is necessary to take effective measures to stop Lou Beisheng before she changes.
Otherwise, Lou Beisheng fled after vaporization, wouldn't they have fallen short?
After getting on the bus, I and Xiao Qicai felt a little tired, and the continuous tossing, even if it was by plane or train, would consume a lot of physical strength, plus we had not eaten since noon. Wang Shaocheng and Yu Mengmeng looked even worse, their hair was messy, their dark circles were heavier, and they didn't look comfortable sleeping on the plane just now.
It didn't take long for the scenery outside the car window to start to become natural and quaint. Tree-lined landscape.
After a while, a low mountain more than 20 meters high appeared in the field of vision, through the car window, you can faintly hear the sound of "whooshing" water, it is a narrow waterfall, down the top of the mountain, forming a strange pool at the edge of the foot of the mountain.
The waterfall is at least 15 meters high, like a falling silver chain, the area of the waterhole is vast and deep, the water is clear to the bottom, and it is a bit majestic in the beauty. At this moment, we seem to be in the valley square downstream, where the terrain is wide, with dense bushes and babbling rocky streams, which can accommodate thousands of people.
The bus travels continuously along the winding river in the direction of the waterfall.
Because this is a bumpy suburb. So the ground is full of large and small stones, and the car is driving here bumpy and shaky. Wang Shaocheng and Yu Mengmeng immediately fell asleep, rubbed their eyes, and asked, "Where are you?" ”
At this moment. Zhou Qianqian's expression also looked a little tired, she yawned, and said, "It's almost there, but I can tell you now, this is Hong Kong's Bridal Pool." ”
We all frowned, wondering how we could have such a strange name.
Zhou Qianqian said, "Regarding the origin of the bride's pool, there is such a legend among the local folk. It is said that once upon a time, a bride was married from the nearby village of Wujiaoteng to Lujiao Village, and four sedan chairmen carried the bride in a large sedan chair. One of the sedan chair drivers accidentally slipped and fell, the sedan chair fell to the ground, fell into the waterfall, and the bride drowned at the bottom of the pool. In order to commemorate this unfortunate bride, later generations called this pool 'Bride's Pond'. ”
At this time, Xiao Qicai saw that Zhou Qianqian was interested in speaking, her eyes rolled, and she said, "Bride's Pool, a very nice name, I don't know if there are any more famous scenic spots here?" ”
Zhou Qianqian said, "Clever little girl, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you want to figure out the shape, and then find someone to save you, right?" ”
Xiao Qicai blinked her eyes and said, "Our mobile phones were taken away by you before we got on the plane, what else can I do to find someone?" ”
Zhou Qianqian said lightly, "When you were in the United States, those who knew you called you 'Angel Eyes', I know your ability, so it's better to be careful." "Rest the group.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Shaocheng and Yu Mengmeng were a little stunned when they heard it, so it can be seen that her cousin doesn't know much about Xiao Qicai's past. Xiao Qicai said casually, "You think too much, what 'angel eyes', I haven't heard of it, are you talking about me?" ”
Zhou Qianqian snorted coldly and stopped talking.
As we sat in the car, we felt closer and closer to the silent pool. There is also a steep slope of about 7 or 8 meters long about 20 degrees near the waterhole and the waterfall that keeps rushing down, and I don't know if it is naturally formed or artificially created.
It didn't take long for something to make people's hearts beat faster!
The closer the bus got to the steep slope, the faster it increased. It didn't take long for the speed of the car to be raised to about 120 miles, and when I, Xiao Qicai, Wang Shaocheng and Yu Mengmeng were extremely puzzled, the car did not hesitate, and instantly rushed over like the highest point of a steep slope!
Wang Shaocheng and Yu Mengmeng changed color at the same time!
Xiao Qicai and I also looked at it darkly, rushing over at such a speed, we might end up falling directly into the pool, are they all crazy and want to take us to commit suicide collectively?
But......
I don't have any more time to think!
In the roar of the bus engine and the throttle being stepped on to the limit, I heard Zhou Qianqian shouting, "Don't panic!" ”
And then......
The bus rushed down a steep slope in an instant, and then "Wow! Suddenly, without hesitation, he slid down the steep slope and into the air.
Yu Mengmeng finally couldn't help but let out a scream, Xiao Qicai and Wang Shaocheng closed their eyes tightly, I felt that a lot of cold sweat was secreted in my palms, although I couldn't see my face at the time, but I guess it must be very ugly, because of the slope, drive out directly, if it is the first time to sit in such a car, no one will feel it at all.
After a few seconds......
Listen to a loud sound of "bang", the body of the bus has entered the waterfall, the water splash instantly splashed on the window, the huge water impulse hit the glass "pop", but soon, the car has leaped out of the range of the waterfall, and finally landed on the ground steadily, sending out the last violent shaking, everyone's body was shaken extremely uncomfortable, the internal organs were as if they were about to be displaced, everyone couldn't help bending down, the vomiting feeling was more intense, only by maintaining this posture, it felt a little more comfortable.
The car slowed down and slowly moved ahead. In the night, everyone's heart beat faster, because just now, if you make a mistake, you may fall directly into the pool, and then overturn, flood, and suffocate people, which can be said to be very risky.
After a while, the vomiting gradually subsided, and then I noticed that there was a "dark passage" behind the waterfall, and the car rushed over it like an acrobatic to move on. However, based on the scene I saw on the waterfall at the time, I thought that the waterfall was flowing directly down from the mountain, but there was a visual error in this, which was obviously artificially designed. Especially at night, it seems more secretive.
At this time, we can only hear the sound of water coming from the back of the car, but we can't see the waterfall. There is a straight and open avenue in front of us, and when we get here, it's like entering an uninhabited suburb, full of pristine ecological and natural scenery, and we can't help but lower the windows a little in order to breathe in the refreshing, slightly vegetative air.
The car continued to drive forward for a while, and several forks in the road appeared in front of us, and at that moment, we found a very strange bronze statue at the fork in the road.
This statue is placed in the middle of the road, and its appearance looks very strange, a bit like a combination of a butterfly and a human, with a pair of big wings, but it has limbs, facial features, abdominal muscles, hands and feet but it does not look like a normal human, like the three claws of an animal, and there is a strange, antenna-like thing on its head, as if it can receive some signal.
I was about to ask what this strange creature was, but the car made another sharp turn and came to a sudden stop.
In the dark night, we saw a large-scale "palace", standing quietly beside us.
"Here we are." Zhou Qianqian said coldly, and his tone suddenly seemed to be a different person.
Later, I, Xiao Qicai, Wang Shaocheng, and Yu Mengmeng followed Zhou Qianqian into the palace with a nervous mood.
It is said to be a palace, because the terrain inside is very open, just from the outside to enter the door, it will take seven or eight, at a glance, there is no end in sight, the visual area covers an area of at least thousands of square meters.
However, the appearance of this giant building is rather peculiar, it looks like a golden Rubik's Cube, because although its length and width are magnificent, the height is not very high, relatively speaking, only about seven or eight meters, giving people the feeling of a Roman gladiatorial arena, and it is difficult to come out after entering.
I don't know why, but when I come here, I always feel like I'm about to enter some mysterious place. The blood circulation seems to have increased a little!
