After that, the four of them also went to rest when they were sleepy, and when they woke up, they got together to eat some dried fruits, and sometimes they would chat a few words without theme and purpose, but in such an environment, it seemed that there was really no other way out and nothing else to do except wait.

I don't know how many days passed, this Chu Qing came to the kitchen, carefully counted the few dried fruits left over and over again, and then took out four of them, hesitated for a long time, and returned to the stone room.

After sitting down, Chu Qing held the dried fruit in his hand, looked at Feng Shuzhu and said, "Brother Feng, will we be starved to death here." ”

Feng Shuzhu looked at the dried fruit in Chu Qing's hand, and already understood in his heart that there should not be much fruit left in the kitchen, otherwise Chu Qing, who has always been optimistic, would not ask such a question, after taking the dried fruit distributed by Chu Qing, Feng Shuzhu handed it back again, and said, "I'm not hungry, you can keep it and eat, now we have nothing to do but wait." ”

Chu Qing put the dried fruit back in front of Feng Shuzhu and said, "No, let's try to use our Dao power to smash the boulder blocked in the corridor." ”

Feng Shuzhu thought for a moment and said, "How exactly is it built in this secret room, and what mechanisms are set up below, we don't know at all, and if we interrupt that boulder, I'm afraid it will cause the entire mountain to collapse." Feng Shuzhu didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, but everyone understood that if the whole mountain collapsed, it would definitely be buried alive.

Chu Qing said again: "That's better than starving to death here, it's better to take a risk." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled: "Let's wait a little longer, after all, we haven't reached a dead end yet." ”

Chu Qing gave the old man and the young one a dried fruit each, but the two also pushed it back, saying that they were not hungry for the time being.

Chu Qing was just about to speak, but he heard a roar outside, and the ground shook with him, as if thousands of troops had killed him, and the faces of the four of them changed at the same time. Chu Qing was the first to run out of the door, only to see a flood gushing out from another stone room, and it took a while to fill the corridor, it should be that the water flow was blocked by the boulders in the corridor, and the water surface rose rapidly, and it was no longer above his knees in an instant.

Chu Qing turned to look at Feng Shuzhu and said, "Don't worry about being starved to death now, you will be drowned immediately." After speaking, he said: "I really don't know where this water comes from, that stone room is obviously sealed." As he spoke, the flood was waist-high, and the four of them were soaked.

Chu Qing panicked: "Brother Feng......"

Feng Shuzhu rushed over when he heard the sound, stretched out his hand to support Chu Qing, and turned his head to see that the old man and the young man were also supporting each other not far away, barely able to resist the current.

The surface of the water continued to rise, reaching their necks in the blink of an eye, and it became increasingly difficult for the four of them to breathe.

Feng Shuzhu held his breath, pulled Chu Qing to float in the water, and turned to look for a long time, only to see the other two floating out of the water not far away, so he stretched out a hand to grab the young man, but the other party turned around and dodged, and the old woman reached out and grabbed Feng Shuzhu, and the four of them were able to rely on each other.

The sound of the flood gushing could no longer be heard if the outlet was already submerged, but the water continued to rise, and the heads of the four people were about to touch it

The stone roof of the road.

Feng Shuzhu raised his hand to support the top of the stone, and found that it was excavated from the whole mountain, so he gave up the idea of breaking out of the roof. I suddenly remembered the scene of being washed away by the water at the same time as Shui Lingyue under the abyss of the beetle, and it was also in danger at that time, but in comparison, there was only unknown fear, and at this moment, this road was completely sealed up and down, left and right, and it was really a way to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

At this moment, a heavy friction sound came from under the water, as if the boulder in the corridor in front of it was slowly rising, and the flood, which was originally stationary, was like a wild horse tearing the reins in an instant, roaring angrily and rushing forward, and the four of them were swept away by the flood without any support.

After drifting forward for a distance, the four of them saw clearly at the same time, the boulder in the corridor has not fully risen, most of it is still submerged under water, the torrent is rapidly moving forward, above is the top of the stone, seeing that it is about to hit the boulder, at the last moment, the boulder suddenly sped up, completely retracted, an exclamation, the four people clinging to the bottom of the boulder thrilling roar.

I rushed past the boulder, but I saw that the crack in the stone was much wider, and the flood water poured out, and when it came to the open field, it slowed down, and the water rolled and sprayed, and flowed into the mangrove forest.

As soon as the momentum of the flood weakened, several people hurriedly stood up and threw themselves to the side on the terrain a little higher, frightened, and found that there was already a violent storm outside, lightning and thunder.

With a flash of lightning, he saw a person lying next to the mangrove forest, and before he had time to think about it, the four of them stepped forward to see that it was the old man in the small cabin.

Feng Shuzhu squatted down, touched the old man's snort and said, "It turns out that the old man has been killed a lot." ”

Chu Qing wiped the rain from her face and said, "It's good now, not to mention the number of trapped people, I don't know how to find a secret passage." ”

Feng Shuzhu glanced at the old man, and then looked at the flood that kept gushing out from the rock cliff, and said in a low voice: "Where did this flood come from, and the direction that this old man's eyes were staring into, it is indeed the direction of the flood coming out......" Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "I understand, this flood came out of the intermittent palace, it must have been a torrential rain that caused the flood, which pushed the upstream mechanism and the boulder was opened, and the gesture that the old man made when he left us was not to say that it was raining heavily outside, but to ask us to wait for a heavy rainstorm." ”

Chu Qing rolled his eyes and continued, "Then, Brother Feng, ......what do you mean?"

Feng Shuzhu turned around, stared at the widened stone crack, and said, "I'll go in and take a look, go up along the flood, you should be able to find the entrance to the secret passage, Qing'er, you wait outside." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, he hurriedly said, "Brother Feng, I am willing to go with you." ”

Feng Shuzhu was about to open his mouth to stop it, but he heard the old woman say: "Childe's analysis should be right, many palaces have flood control and drainage, here should be a flood channel, go up along it, you can find the main river, don't delay time, let's go in quickly, after the flood is discharged, the boulder will come down again, and the secret room will be closed." ”

After saying that, he and the young man actually walked towards the stone crack, Chu Qing glanced at Feng Shuzhu, and the two of them followed suit.

composed

When the four of them entered the stone chamber where the flood was discharged, they found that the walls inside had been opened on three sides, and behind them was a wider river.

After walking a distance of about ten zhang, the water level suddenly deepened, as if stepping into an abyss, and his feet could no longer reach the bottom of the water, so he had to struggle to swim upstream.

After battling the flood for a long time and swimming a long distance, I realized that the flood came from a raised stone dam, and I saw a steady stream of flood water flying down from the dam several feet wide, forming a beautiful waterfall, flying down into the river channel, stirring up countless waves.

Because the situation inside the dam was not clear, the four of them almost simultaneously took up their swords, flew to the top of the dam, and stood on their feet, only to see that the dam was flooded, and a small boat was docked at the bottom of the dam, constantly spinning in place under the impact of the current.

Feng Shuzhu jumped on the boat and shouted, "Quick, this is the only tool to go to the Interrupted Palace." ”

The three of them jumped on the boat when they heard the sound, and the wind and bamboo untied the cable, and the boat lost its grip, and moved forward quickly with the flood without the oars and sails.

The boat flew forward in the flood, and there was no light in the four directions, and several people had to grasp the side of the boat, and they did not dare to say a word, they all stared ahead, and I don't know how long it took, the boat jumped out, and after a whistling, there was a thunder in my ears at the same time, and I looked at it and saw that it had come outside along the waterway.

With a "snap", the boat fell into a large pool, and with the help of inertia, it drifted forward for a distance before slowly stopping.

Feng Shuzhu stood up, looked around, and knew that he had entered the Intermittent Palace, and when he looked back, he understood that the original flood was gathered from the top of the mountain, flowing down through the waterway in the mountain, and finally flowing into a huge pond in the Intermittent Palace.

The four exchanged glances, abandoned the boat, and flew out of the pool.

As far as the eye can see, there is a brilliant light in the distance, but the pond is pitch black around it, and at this time, the rain in the sky is much lighter. In the back of the lights, I saw several rows of black shadows standing still not far away, silent in the wind and rain, and the gusts of mountain wind blew, which was actually a little forest.

Chu Qing moved a few closer to Feng Shuzhu, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Feng, what kind of place is this and why is it so cold." ”

Feng Shuzhu shook his head lightly and said, "Just go over and take a look." ”

The four of them took advantage of the night to walk towards the rows of black shadows, and when they got closer, they found that they were rows of statues, each of which was full of height, with different shapes, and solemn appearances, but they all looked at the intermittent palace with the lights in front of them, and looked carefully, and found that under each stone statue, there were some incomprehensible tadpole texts, long or short, as if recording some things.

Feng Shuzhu said: "This should be an open-air ancestral hall, and these people should be the previous sect masters or elders of Interrupted Island. ”

When Chu Qing heard this, he hugged his arms, looked around and said, "In other words, this is a place to bury the dead, I said how do you feel so mad." "Said again

I looked up at a stone statue behind me and thought, "Why, many people like to set up a stone statue for themselves, thousands of years later, this stone statue has been weathered and has become a pile of blurred stones, who can tell the difference." Thinking about it, as soon as he looked up, he saw that the three of them were silent, and they had already walked towards the Intermittent Palace, and only he was left, so he hurriedly ran a few steps and chased after him.

Not far from the ancestral hall, Feng Shuzhu identified the surrounding scenery, leaned down to a low bush, and separated the bushes with his hands, found a flame-shaped stone mechanism, set it with both hands, and turned it hard, the flame turned upside down, and then saw a door open behind the bush.

Feng Shuzhu turned around and whispered to the three of them: "I found the secret passage." With that, he walked in.
