Chapter 118: Deep Stream Exploration

This was the decision of the people in the village, not Qi Haoyuan's idea. During the two days of searching, he became more and more interested in this mountain stream, and he wanted to go down and see what was hidden under this mountain stream.

Late at night, after Brother Niu fell asleep, he quietly left Blackstone Village. The darkness of the night did not hinder his vision at all, he took out a flying paper crane from his sleeve, injected some spiritual power, and the paper crane instantly enlarged, carrying him into Bozhong Mountain.

Suspended above the deep stream, it is still foggy below, and it is impossible to see the situation underneath. He steered the paper crane to sink slowly, gradually entering the thick fog.

", this fog is poisonous!" He found out that this is a miasma at all, if ordinary people inhale it into the body, serious cases will be poisoned and die, but fortunately, he has eaten so many pills, and it is almost poisonous.

It sank to a height of 500 meters, and the fog gradually thinned out, and the line of sight began to become clear. This deep stream is very unusual, not like it is formed naturally by the Pak Chung Mountain. Going deep into it, Qi Haoyuan suddenly felt that Bozhong Mountain was just the foil of this deep stream, and the deep stream was the real protagonist.

The deeper the stream goes, the wider it becomes, and the width below is more than three times that of the top. The stone walls on both sides are jet-black, smooth and flat, as if they had been cut by a knife.

"Is this artificial? It seems like it's been some years. As an archaeologist, Qi Haoyuan still has this eyesight. This deep stream is not a natural formation, but someone has carved it out.

Why do you want to do such a big project in this place where birds don't?

Qi Haoyuan judged from the texture formed on the stone wall that this deep stream has a history of nearly a thousand years or even longer. Even if it is calculated according to the calculation of a thousand years, there is only a small mountain village here, and there is only a small town within a radius of 20 miles, it is conceivable that a thousand years ago, this place must have been even more desolate, perhaps a wasteland.

There are only two possibilities for the construction of a project on a wasteland, one is to open a mine, but Qi Haoyuan learned that Heishi Village is named because of the abundance of black stone, and the stone here is black in color, which is somewhat special, but it is not an ore, otherwise Heishi Village would not be what it is today.

In addition to mining, there is also a tomb, perhaps here is a feng shui treasure, there are big people or royal nobles choose this underground burial, so the project is large, and the tomb is built underground.

Qi Haoyuan only made these two speculations according to the thinking of his archaeologist back then, and he himself was more fond of the latter, for no other reason, just because he loved archaeology in his bones, and if there was an ancient tomb below, he could just have a good time.

He gradually fell to the bottom of the deep stream, but he saw nothing, and below him was a black water, rich black with a fishy stench, and I don't know how long the water had been in this ground, and I couldn't see how deep it was.

He looked around, there was nothing special, there were smooth stone walls on all sides, and below this was black water. There is still a trace of turbidity on the surface of the black water, which should be the rain that flowed down from the previous heavy rain.

"The water here can't flow out, the sunlight can't come in at all, and it won't evaporate much water, and every rainy season, a large amount of rain from Boshan and Zhongshan flows into the deep stream, so how deep should this water level be now!" Qi Haoyuan felt a little scary just thinking about it.

The bottom of such a deep stream, and such a cold and dark water source, smelled of danger from the inside out. Moreover, it is very likely that the long worm is hiding in this water, and he is very worried that if one is not careful, it will come out and swallow it in one gulp.

Qi Haoyuan's courage is not small, such a situation is not uncommon, but it is impossible not to worry in his heart. Standing on top of the flying crane, he surveyed every nook and cranny below the deep stream, trying to find something, but to no avail.

The only possibility is underwater, and there are two options for him, one is to return the same way, as if he never came, and the other is to dive underwater and see what lies below!

In normal times, he would choose the former without hesitation, but the purpose of his visit today was to get rid of the long worm, and now that the long worm has not been seen, he has no choice but to go forward bravely.

"Dude, I'm sorry, it's so disgusting down there, I have to wronged you. Qi Haoyuan chose a compromise method and let the Chaos Dao Body go into the water instead of him.

This is also a way, the Chaos Dao Body has the same thinking and consciousness as him, in a way, the two of them are one, there is no difference, what he can think of, the Chaos Dao Body can also think of it, let the Chaos Dao Body do it for him, it is not a good way.

And the most important thing is that the situation below is unknown, in case there is any dangerous situation, the Chaos Dao Body is immortal and can share it for him, and he himself can retreat first.

The Dao Body was summoned, exactly like him, and the Dao Body was always unconditionally obedient to the body, and jumped into the water with a "poof".

He closed his eyes slightly, sat cross-legged on the body of the paper crane, and established the most direct connection with the Dao body, and he clearly understood every move of the Dao body on the water surface, just like his own experience.

In fact, the water is not too dark, because the stone wall is black, and the stone wall below the water is also black, so it is relatively dark. Entering the water, the Dao body opens its eyes, and its vision is not affected.

He guessed correctly before, the water was very deep, he had been diving for more than ten meters, and he couldn't even see the bottom, and there were no insects in his sight.

The pressure under the water is very high, and although he is a monk, he can also violate the principles of physics for no reason. On the surface, many of the monk's actions are unreasonable, but on closer inspection, they may not.

At this moment in the water, if he wants to continue diving, he must increase his own weight, which is actually many ways, for ordinary people, it can only hold a big stone or other to increase the weight, and the monk can use spiritual power to assist.

Comparatively speaking, the latter should be more in line with what the monk did, but Qi Haoyuan didn't do this, he threw the broken axe into the water with a shake of his hand, and the Dao body raised his hand to catch it, and suddenly his body increased by hundreds of catties, and the dive became much easier.

Gradually, the Dao body stepped on the ground, and there was mud under the feet, but not much, and when the feet stepped on it, I could feel the hard stone slabs below.

He finally saw the clues, and under the water, he could see a lot of snake skin, which was the long worm that had faded. A snake scale is the size of a palm, this is probably the largest snake scale he has ever seen, and he knows how big this snake should be with his buttocks!

In his understanding, those who can grow into big snakes are basically pythons, but looking at the snake scales, it doesn't seem to be the same. Shocked by the huge snake scales, he became more cautious in his heart, and paid attention to the movements around him, lest the big snake burst out from a corner and swallow it for him!
