Past years

【nineteen】

Some things are in the past after all.Those behind the tents and in front of the waterfall all returned to their sleeping bags.Wu Xie was smoking a cigarette, and seeing that Xiao Hua's expression was a little strange, he asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"...I can't tell. Chen Guzi is just rotten sesame." He snatched Wu Xie's cigarette casually, "Smoking less. Do you want to die?"

Wu Xie only felt that his fingertips were empty, and subconsciously took out another cigarette from his pocket immediately.He held the lighter in his hand, stayed there for a while, and finally closed the lid.He looked at Xiao Hua who was frowning slightly, and laughed like a child who succeeded in playing a prank: "Go to sleep."

A night without dreams.

After waking up the next day, Xie Yuhua returned to the usual state of being the leader of Xie Yuhua.As if nothing had happened, he even smiled and nodded when he met the blind man.Quickly adjusting his mentality is a compulsory course for him for so many years.And being able to pick it up and put it down is his code of conduct for Xie Yuhua.

After entering the crack, it went smoothly.Perhaps because he didn't go through the main entrance, he hardly encountered many difficult organs.It's just that the water is getting deeper and the temperature is getting lower and lower.It didn't take long for the water to reach the root of the thigh.Fortunately, Wu Xie had already made preparations in advance. Everyone was wearing waterproof pants specially designed for fish ponds.

After another 15 minutes of touching, the water began to gradually become shallower, and the cracks began to show signs of widening.The terrain meanders all the way up, and finally there are only jagged stones and a little silted yellow mud left.However, just as everyone was congratulating in their hearts that they had finally got rid of the resistance-intensive exercise of walking in water, the gap came to an end.What immediately appeared in front of their eyes was a bottomless black pool.

The surface of the pool is not too wide vertically.If you want to swim through the water, it will only take a while.But Wu Xie recalled what happened last time.At that time, he and Lao Xie were also in the same pool, and that pool was much shallower than the current one, but there was Zhe Luo salmon in it that almost killed him.To be on the safe side, he finally decided to hang the sling in the past.

The hole is quite high, and there are places for tying ropes on both sides. The only problem is that you have to send someone over to get the other side.But this is not a difficult task for him, because at the moment he has ready-made by his side, there is a leader Xie who can come in and out of the tomb at will without touching the ground.As Er Yuehong's apprentice, that kung fu was not built.

He had already seen Xie Yuhua's ability in the trip to Siguniang Mountain.It is still the magic stick that can shrink and fold, flying like a flower under Xiao Hua's hands.As soon as he kicked his body, he jumped onto the cave wall next to him, and the whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, which amazed everyone.

"As expected of an actor's skills, how can a big bastard like us learn it." A few guys who came with him whispered to each other.The black glasses glanced at the speaker, and said indifferently: "It's not okay to be so surprised right now. You'd better keep some of it. You haven't seen Master Hua's ability, but there are still many."

Xie Yuhua over there quickly tied the rope and signaled everyone to come over.Wu Xie looked nervously at the guy who slid over the pool, but luckily nothing went wrong.People arrived soon, but because of the preparations for climbing in the plan, I didn't bring too much equipment this time.So at this moment, I have to go to take the rope back again.

When Xie Yuhua passed by on the rope, the water was still calm.So no one noticed at all, when did the first ripples appear on the water.Just as Xie Yuhua passed along the cave wall for the second time, a splash of water flashed, and something burst out of the water in an instant, heading straight for him.Fortunately, Xie Yuhua's reflexes were good enough, and she just dodged the blow with her waist strength; however, that thing didn't seem to be a vegetarian, so it changed its attack direction accordingly.There was no extra point of strength on the rock wall, and it was Xie Yuhua's limit to avoid the second blow; if he went down, if he wanted to save his life, he had to draw out the stick in his hand as a weapon.But that also means that he will fall into the water and get into more trouble.

The third attack is coming!However, just when Xie Yuhua was about to fall, she heard something roaring towards her.It's bullets!The creature's attack speed is indeed very fast, but the speed of the bullet is even faster!Accurate marksmanship, one hit kills.The monster's sharp teeth barely brushed against Xie Yuhua's arm, and then fell back into the water with an unwilling struggle.

Xie Yuhua didn't let go of this opportunity, and quickly jumped to the opposite bank in three steps and two steps.With the light of the flashlight on, he looked around, and soon found the muzzle of the gun where the smoke had not cleared. It was a black blind man.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." The man shook his hand and put the gun back on his waist.

"Xiao Hua, are you okay?" Wu Xie asked.

Xie Yuhua made an OK gesture.

The body of the monster that had just been hit floated on the surface of the water.It was a big fish with a strange appearance, and it was not as big as the Zhe Luo salmon that Wu Xie and Lao Xie met when they came last time.But in terms of body shape, this thing looks like a flying fish in the sea.However, normal flying fish are generally small in size and do not have the habit of actively attacking.Could it be that this underground water system is still connected to a certain sea area?Or is this simply a mutated fish species caused by some kind of pollution?

Seeing the buddies talking a lot, Wu Xie said that there is no point in continuing to struggle here.Since no one was injured, it is better to hurry forward.

Further on, the crack didn't extend very far before they heard the sound of gurgling water.Granite rock quality also appeared on the rock walls on both sides, accompanied by a little rock essence. "That's right! It seems that the pathfinder didn't make a mistake." Wu Xie nodded with satisfaction, "There should be an underground river ahead."

While speaking, the rushing river appeared in front of them.It's not as hot as when he came with Mr. Liang and his group. It's probably an intermittent fountain, so it's best to leave as soon as possible before it erupts.The scene of being scalded in the water last time was still vivid in his mind at this moment, "Vest, you go down first. Let's talk about it later!"

Water splashes everywhere.

"Little Sanye, the water is not deep, and it's still warm!" The waistcoat stuck its head out of the water.

"Try again, is there any iron chain in the water?" Wu Xie continued to ask.

He dived down and groped for a while. "Yes, yes! It's thick and big!" Many people present laughed inexplicably.

"What are you laughing at!" Wu Xie shouted. "This is a geothermal fountain. I was lucky this time, and it happened not to erupt. If it erupts, it will be more than enough to scald a cow to death. Hurry up and leave!"

Because the water was really deep, everyone stopped counting on the waterproof pants, took them off and threw them on the shore, and discarded them.They wrapped their backpacks in tarpaulins and put them on their chests, and jumped into the river one by one.

"Hold on to the chains and keep on tight!"

"Master Wu Xiaofo, let me tell you, there shouldn't be any strange fish like just now, right?"

"No. The water here is too hot and contains sulfur, so normal fish species can't survive. Don't think about it, just concentrate!"

"All right..." The other party closed his mouth wisely.

There are still many forks in the dark river, but fortunately there are only two iron chains guiding the way, so they moved forward smoothly.The terrain is getting lower and lower, and there are undercurrents and eddies in many places.The stone wall on the top was also getting shorter and shorter, and a guy didn't see it clearly, so his forehead was scratched by sharp gravel; but fortunately, it was nothing serious.

When I got to the back, my feet couldn't touch the bottom.They had to half swim and half float, but it was not as strenuous as before.About another 10 minutes later, the water gradually became colder, apparently far away from the hot spring zone.Wu Xie has been cautiously holding the iron chain, waiting for the waterfall to appear; but in the end, he failed to wait for the waterfall in his memory, but swam directly to a shoal.

It was a very large cave, and the ceiling of the cave was quite high. From a distance, it seemed that there was still something erected in the center of the cave.Wu Xie ordered people to light up the cold fireworks, then picked up some undecayed branches near the shore, and managed to light a fire for everyone to roast their clothes.And he himself walked towards the middle of the cave with a beacon flashlight.

The moment he saw clearly what it was, he was secretly taken aback in his heart.Oh shit!What's happening here!Did they swim directly to the foot of the Qinling Sacred Tree?What's the point?Shouldn't one have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships to finally worship his true colors!Before seeing the sacred tree last time, he fell into the water from the cliff and fell into the water, and was cornered by mice. He lit a torch, pulled up a dead body, and then walked through the long secret passage behind the coffin of.What happened this time?He found it so easily?He, Wu Xie, has lived for so many years, and God finally opened his eyes. For the first time, he didn't torture him to death, making him a blind cat and a dead mouse?
