Volume 2: Qilian Immortal Wall Chapter 6: Underground Waterfall (I)
No one moved, where did the sound come from?
"Jeon Jun-jae?" A small voice sounded from the darkness, but due to the effect of the "boom" sound, it was impossible to discern the direction of the sound.
My head exploded, this is Xiao Qi's voice, I heard it right, absolutely not wrong.
"Xiao Qi, is that you?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak...", a few footsteps gradually, and a figure appeared in front of us.
A large piece of light rose, and Xiao Qi lit a fire fold in his hand, and I squinted my eyes and suddenly felt dazzling when I saw the bright light.
"Come with me." Xiao Qi walked into the darkness.
I thought to myself, Xiao Qi, who had just disappeared from the altar, how could he suddenly appear here? And now I am as calm as if nothing has happened, and I don't say a word about the previous things, I have doubts in my heart, and I even wonder if this is Xiao Qi after all.
At this time, I was dragged by Liu Yu, he patted me gently, but did not speak, motioned for me to follow, I saw his eyes and saw a trace of unease, as if he was also suspicious of something.
The four of them followed behind Xiao Qi, Uncle Quan also walked quietly and quietly, Liu Yu and I walked at the back, and we could vaguely see the figure of the person in front of us, obviously opening up some distance, I didn't trust the Xiao Qi in front of me from the bottom of my heart, maybe because I didn't know him, or he left me too many doubts.
Gradually entering the depths of darkness, the surrounding space seems to be constantly narrowing, and the only quiet sound around is "boom boom" gradually getting louder, despite this, the sound seems to come from all directions, and it is impossible to identify the source of the sound.
The "clicking" sound under our feet became more and more frequent, and I even felt that the road we were walking was constantly rising, and the bones were increasing, so that we could only walk on our waists.
"Full text Xuan, my brother." I don't know when Uncle Quan was already beside me, whispering.
I am indeed a little familiar with the name of the full text Xuan, I only remember that when I was a child, I heard my family and outsiders mention it, I am a master who understands feng shui, and I have the same reputation as Uncle Jin on the road, but then I disappeared with my Uncle Jin.
Uncle Quan pointed to Xiao Qi at the front and said, "Qi Gongming, golden finger." ”
I was stunned, it turns out that this Xiao Qi also has such a big background, the golden finger in the tomb robbery world is by no means a name that ordinary people can call, it is said that they only rely on a finger to compare, they can distinguish the direction of feng shui and the direction of the tomb, the depth of the skill is immeasurable, can be called this title is no more than five, I can't help but look at this young man who seems to be only in his early twenties but has a deep foundation, no wonder he can calm down all the way to this point.
So, the question is, where are we heading now? I followed here without saying a word, and I still don't know what our purpose is, forty years ago, what was the purpose of Jinren's team coming here, what they went through, and what they did, so that the patriarch here remembered his grudge.
At this moment, Qi Gongming, who was walking in the front, stopped, Xiao Jiu didn't pay attention to hit Liu Yu, the two chattered, Xiao Qi made a "shhh" gesture, and the whole dark passage suddenly quieted down.
The silence lasted less than three seconds, and in an instant a sound burst out, making a deafening "rumbling" sound, which startled us, and the frequency of the sound continued, one by one, coming from afar, and roaring away in an instant.
Qi Gongming hurried forward a few steps, and we followed, and a hole appeared less than a few meters away from us, and it was dark outside the hole, but it was certain that the sound came from this hole.
Qi Gongming raised the torch and motioned for us to follow him, at this time none of us spoke, and none of us flinched, probably because we all wanted to know what this voice was and what secrets were hidden here.
A few of us cautiously walked into the cave, I clenched my fists, my heart pounded wildly, for fear that a monster would suddenly pop up, the sound in the cave was louder, and the air was very humid, and there was a mist on my face, I squinted my eyes and thought: The air here is not poisonous, right? The torch in Xiao Qi's hand dimmed, and the flames were also extinguished, and it could be seen from the faint light that there were tiny water particles in the air here, so it can be concluded that there must be a water source nearby, coupled with the explosion here, I couldn't help but have a question in my heart: Is there a waterfall here? I thought about it again, how is it possible, how can there be a waterfall underground, and I can't help but laugh at myself.
"Uncle Quan, why is there so much humidity here?" Liu Yu covered his mouth and nose with his clothes and asked questions.
Uncle Quan didn't speak, just looked into the distance, I followed his gaze, there were some fluctuations looming in the dark, before I could think about it, Uncle Quan and Xiao Qi walked in that direction, the pace was very slow, as if we could accidentally step on the trap, we followed.
The further we walked in, the smaller the flame of the fire breaker became, and even if we were not careful, it would be extinguished, and the sound became clearer and clearer, and my face was already wet.
Soon we walked to the bottom of the waves, the way was blocked by a stone slab in front of us, through the faint light of the fire, I could vaguely see that behind the stone slab was a large flow of water, flowing rapidly in front of us, what quickly flashed in my mind was the underground dark river, we followed the direction of the water flow downward, less than ten meters away, there was a deep pit, straight to the ground, the water all fell into this deep pit, I looked at this deep pit, it was dark and bottomless, I could not see the other side of it, according to my estimate it was at least ten meters wide, I looked at the swarthy abyss, a layer of goosebumps rose up and down my body, the loud sound of the water made me have a kind of courage to retreat, I didn't dare to approach, for fear of falling in, I didn't dare to look, turned his head and walked back, Liu Yu also followed, I saw that his face was blue, his whole face was tense, he didn't speak, only water droplets fell from his face, I couldn't tell if it was caused by the mist or his cold sweat, and then everyone else also came over, only Uncle Quan and Xiao Qi's faces were as usual, and Xiao Jiu was also blue-faced, I can't help but admire the courage of Uncle Quan and Xiao Qi.
We went up the current, and no one spoke, probably because this environment forced us to temporarily lose the consciousness of speaking.
We were walking, "whew", the fire fold in Xiao Qi's hand suddenly went out, and it suddenly went dark in front of me, I subconsciously closed my eyes suddenly, and my heart chuckled, and then I heard the sound of Uncle Quan pulling the lighter, and I tried several times without starting the fire, which may be the reason why the humidity around is too heavy.
There was no way, we had to walk forward in the dark.
"All... Uncle Quan, shall we go back? Further on, I had a vague feeling of unease. Xiao Jiu said in a low voice.
"Returning now is equivalent to giving up our lives in vain, we don't have any weapons in our hands, and now we can only look for an exit here."
As he spoke, Uncle Quan stopped and stared straight ahead.
"Quan, Uncle Quan?" Xiao Jiu was startled when he saw Uncle Quan's sudden action.
Jeon Joon-jae made a "shhhh ”
Waterfall, waterfall?
I was taken aback, so I was not wrong in my speculation just now? However, this doesn't make sense, how can there be a waterfall underground? Could it be the junction of an underground river?
