Volume 2 Saibei Xiaofeng Chapter 9 Panic in the mud pit
Looking at the surging mudslide rushing down in front of him, Li Bing took the bamboo slip in his hand, and only felt that even if the bamboo slip was made of pottery, it was a lot lighter.
"Isn't it hollow?" Although he had this idea, he didn't dare to show any abnormality, for fear that Venerable Rat would see something.
As the flood on the dome flowed more and more, the whole sea-blue round glazed stone shattered, and the water column continued to flow down the hole the size of the drum surface, and the sediment in it gradually decreased, and the water became clearer and clearer. The glowing aquamarine glazed stone fell to the bottom of the water, and instead refracted the blue light throughout the altar.
The four of them all knew that this altar and underground palace were clearly built under water, and when the water above flowed down and filled the altar, the four of them could swim up from that hole by the water flow. The four of them stood quietly, and none of them wanted to move first.
In the blink of an eye, the surface of the water was almost waist-topping.
Venerable Rat had the information given by Venerable Leopard, and he somewhat guessed that the bamboo slip was what he was looking for, and said in his heart: When the water rises, you have to wash the water with both hands, and the situation will be even more difficult at that time. I'll have to get the bamboo slip before then.
"Hey, you throw that bamboo slip over!" After Venerable Rat finished speaking, he pushed the finger tiger into Anzi's neck again, "Otherwise, I'm welcome." ”
Li Bing raised the bamboo slip in his hand: "You want it, catch it!" and threw the bamboo slip out, but instead of throwing it to him head-on, it was thrown to his side.
Venerable Rat didn't expect Li Bing to throw things so quickly, so he reached out and took it.
As soon as his left hand left Anzi's neck, Anzi took the opportunity to roll over in a ball, jumped into the water, and disappeared.
Lord Lu is also fast, and when Li Binggang throws out the bamboo slip, he raises his hand to be a dart. The dagger in his sleeve was used as a dart and hit the right hand of the Venerable Rat.
At the moment when the Rat Venerable was about to catch the bamboo slip, the dagger hit his wrist, and the Rat Venerable lost his strength, and the bamboo slip also flew out and fell into the water.
The water flowed bigger and bigger, and the huge impact force, the small mouth that was the size of the drum just now, was already the size of a zhang in a blink of an eye, and the entire "starry sky" was torn apart. Under the huge current, the entire altar was swept by the undercurrent. The huge force of water made several people dizzy, and no matter how hard they used, it was difficult to control themselves in this huge current.
The whole sky was torn apart. The surging water carried the mud and sand that instantly filled the entire altar, creating a huge whirlpool in the altar. The glowing gems shook off the dome, mingled in the water, and sank into the whirlpool, and for a moment, the whirlpool was more colorful and phantom.
The few of them could no longer control themselves, so they could only swim as far as they could, praying that they would not be suffocated in this huge vortex of brilliance.
"Hoo ......"
On the huge lake, the waves aroused by the whirlpool gradually subsided, and Yasuko was the first to surface, almost suffocating, and when she looked around, she was actually in a large lake.
He just wanted to dive down again to save people, but he didn't see Li Bing also float up, with Lord Lu's arm still on his shoulder.
"Ahem...... Ahem!" Li Bing choked on water and couldn't stop coughing. Looking at Lord Deer, he was stabbed in the chest, not deep, and kept bleeding.
Li Bing came to his senses, took a few deep breaths, and said to himself, "Where is this?"
Lord Lu is quite awake at the moment, but he is a little out of strength. He glanced at the refinement around him: "This is Xishui Horse Lake, east of Wuwei City. He added, "It turns out that the altar is under the lake, so it is no wonder that my father searched outside the city for so many years and did not find it." ”
He was weak, turned his head and asked Li Bing, "Have you got the things?"
Li Bing briefly took out the water surface of his other hand that had been paddling and showed it to Lord Lu, and in his hand was the pottery bamboo slip - the so-called "Edict of Heaven and Earth". He handed the things to Yasuko and dragged the deer-sama to float in the water.
When Lord Lu saw the edict, he smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's good to get it, this is the real treasure of Hugh Slaughter!" After speaking, he coughed, still weakly said: "We ...... Go back, you have to ...... I have to clean up the remnants of the rituals. ”
"What about the guy under the water just now?" Anzi asked when she saw that the thing had arrived.
Li Bing dragged Lord Lu to the shore and said, "The top of the altar was washed down by the water, and we were in a mess at that time, he stabbed Lord Lu, but he himself was also crushed under the stone roof. I didn't come up for half a day, so I guess I'm dead. ”
Looking at Lord Lu's eyes, he was very weak. Li Bing patted the back of his hand: "Hey, Lord Lu, what's wrong with you? I looked at your wound just now, the wound is not deep, and there is not much blood, what's wrong with you?"
Lord Deer was even weaker than when he first came out of the water: "He pointed out that the tiger was poisonous. Now I have a headache, send me to the Yunfu in Wuwei City, maybe there is still salvation. ”
He didn't know that this Rat Venerable was actually the head of the "Ganzhou Joy Valley". Huanxi Valley is a sect of Qingmiao that specializes in the study of poisons. And the Rat Venerable himself is also a first-class master of using poison, which means that the tiger was originally painted with the poison that the Rat Venerable was most proud of to seal his throat with blood, and it was originally stained with blood and would die. It was only because of the fight in the water that the poison on the finger tiger was diluted by the water that his life was saved.
Most of the Xiliang area is short of water, and it is not easy to give birth to this West Water Horse Lake, Wuwei was originally built on the edge of West Water Horse Lake, and it is also relying on this lake to feed the people of a city.
Li Bing carried Lord Lu on his back and walked less than half a mile from Xishuima Lake to the avenue. It was not far from the city, and it happened to stop the carriage carrying the goods, and the three of them galloped into the city.
Li Bing looked at Lord Lu who was lying unconscious on the board car, and he also had a good feeling in his heart. The two didn't have a deep relationship, but in the altar underground palace, Lord Lu took good care of Li Bing. He could also see that Lord Lu was definitely a decisive person, and he could treat Li Bing like this because he thought that Li Bing was also a slaughterer.
Thinking of the moment when Lord Lu saved himself in the water just now, Li Bing wanted to save Lord Lu from the bottom of his heart.
Anzi is also a smart person, as soon as the "Edict of Heaven and Earth" was handed over to Anzi, he sensed that something was wrong with it, no matter whether this bamboo slip was stone or pottery, it was too light. With a light tap, there is a hollow sound. He fiddled with it for a while, and he actually found the mechanism.
Anzi gently unscrewed the pattern of the dragon bird Tianma on the side of the edict, and the bamboo slip was really opened like a jar - there was only a black silk book inside, and a strange pattern was shallow on it.
"Ahh......h This. "This black silk book Li Bing and Anzi have naturally seen it. There is a copy in the Yangyue Sword Technique, and there is also a copy of the "White Snow Neijing" that Sun Wuyi asked Li Bing to bring back to the Northern Meridian Sect before. With the addition of this one, it is already the third. The feel of these three silk books is very consistent, all of them are strangely smooth, and the patterns on the three are different.
The two were taken aback, and at this time, Lord Deer coughed and was still unconscious. However, this frightened Anzi, and he immediately put the page of the black silk book back into the "Edict of Heaven and Earth" to restore the mechanism of the bamboo slips.
Xishui Horse Lake is very close to Wuwei City, and the carriage arrived at the city gate in an instant. Before Li Bing could enter the city, the captain of the soldiers guarding the gate recognized Lord Lu at a glance.
"This ...... What's going on. "The captain of the city was scared enough. Trembling, he probed the snort of Lord Tanlu, but fortunately, there was breath.
"Lord Lu is injured, and he must be sent to Yunfu as soon as possible. The captain of the city guard shouted to the others, then turned over and rode to open the way for the cart that was pulling goods, and Li Bing and Anzi followed in the carriage.
There were officers and soldiers on the road, and the car was rampaging through the city.
The person who reported the news arrived at Yun Mansion one step earlier, and Yun Duwei and Yun Girl heard that something had happened to Lord Lu, so they had been waiting at the door for a long time.
This Yun Duwei is quite related to Li Bing's father. At first, he was an official in the same dynasty as King Xiang, and it was from Li Bing's father that he seized the military power of Wuwei County and began to stand on his own.
Miss Yun looked at the unconscious Lord Deer, and she was confused for a moment. Lian took Lord Lu's hand and shouted to him to "wake up".
It was still Yun Duwei who was decisive and pulled away Miss Yun. Pick up Lord Deer and rush to the house. While rushing, he shouted: "Lang Zhong hasn't arrived yet?"
"It's here, it's here!" At the gate of Yunfu, two soldiers carrying an old man also hurriedly rushed into Yunfu, and the entire Yunfu was in chaos.
Li Bing was concerned about Lord Lu's injuries and followed him into the house.
On the other side, a figure climbed ashore from the edge of the lake, lying exhausted on the shore.
He looked at the sky and thought in his heart:
The Snake Venerable was buried in the underground palace, and even the things that the Lord wanted were robbed, and our "East Fourth Hall" got the Lord's affairs to this point, and I have no choice, I have to find the "Leopard Venerable" and the "Ibis Venerable", maybe there is a way to remedy it.
