Chapter 40: The Underground River
"Brother Chengfeng, are you okay? Where are you? I can't see you!" Wu Jingmo's voice came from far away. Only his voice was heard, but his person was not seen.
"I'm down there! Under the secret passage! You have to be careful!" Lu Chengfeng responded loudly, patted his butt and stood up.
Under the secret passage, the sound of water flowed everywhere, as if there was an underground river, flowing endlessly. Lu Chengfeng was about to follow the sound, but he forgot that the fire seal was still in Wu Jingmo's hand, and he had to be trapped in this square inch of darkness.
In between, I can't escape.
"Brother Chengfeng, are you okay?" A round head poked out of the secret passage, looking around nervously. When he saw him standing on the ground below the secret passage unharmed, he relaxed.
He smiled and said, "I thought you were ambushed! I was so scared that I used my hands and feet, wishing I could turn into a gecko and crawl towards you with all my strength!"
Lu Chengfeng saw that his round head was covered with dust, and his clean white face was also covered with a lot of mud. He couldn't help but laugh. He looked up and saw the wall illuminated by the fire.
On the surface, there are several large knives, which are nailed into the six-foot-high wall one after another. It is like an ingenious ladder!
"Brother Jingmo, it's good to have me exploring the road ahead! Look, someone has made a ladder-like knife step here. You can just climb down slowly along the knife step. You don't have to eat what I just said.
Such suffering!”
Lu Chengfeng touched his sore knee and joked optimistically, just now, he just fell off! Fortunately, he has been used to it since he was a child, so a fall is not a big deal. If Wu Jing were
If it’s Mo, you’ll be fine!
Wu Jingmo climbed down carefully on the knife steps. The fire was burned out, and they fell into darkness again.
Lu Chengfeng was worried, but Wu Jingmo took out another one from nowhere and hurriedly lit it up.
"I said you sell wholesale fire discounts?" Lu Chengfeng said with a smile, thinking to himself, it would be great if there was a lighter, it would be much more convenient to use than this thing! I will make a lighter and sell it here tomorrow.
The Great Jing Dynasty will definitely make a lot of money!
Wu Jingmo saw that he was smiling crazily and had no idea what daydreams he was having, so he also joked, "Be prepared for a rainy day, be prepared for a rainy day! Do you miss your fairy again?"
Lu Chengfeng rolled his eyes sideways at him, curled his lips and said, "Screw you! Let's go find the underground river! Did you hear the sound of water flowing? It sounded like a rushing sound.
Seems like she’s not too young yet!”
"It's right behind you! He also said that he was not in a fugue and missed your fairy!" Wu Jingmo covered his mouth with his hands and kept laughing.
Lu Chengfeng turned around quickly. He saw that the water was gurgling and the water surface was one foot wide. It was indeed an underground river. However, the underground river was indeed still and deep, and the sound of the water rushing in his ears was completely different.
The sound made by this underground river is more like the sound of a rapid whirlpool. It sounds like the water is rushing.
The two of them followed the sound and went downstream along the underground river. Although the road to the underground river was wide, the dirt road that disturbed the river water was muddy and difficult to navigate. The two of them walked for a long time, one foot deeper and one foot shallower.
Go to the end of the dark river.
At the end of the dark river, wisps of light were shining through, attracting them to make their way to that bright place with difficulty.
After finally walking to the end of the water, I realized that there was a waterfall! Above the waterfall, the water splashed, and countless small water droplets rose up. Under the gradually brightening sky, it seemed to rise.
Countless smoke and dust, there is a strange and spectacular feeling of mist and vastness!
Unexpectedly, under the hanging waterfall, there was the Ying River! Before they knew it, they had passed through half of the imperial city and had arrived at the West City, and they were in the most prosperous and lively place.
On the side of Yinghua Street, beside the Yinghe River! It turns out that the waterfall under my feet is actually the Yinghe Waterfall that is well-known in Jinghua City!
"Brother Chengfeng, look, this is..." Wu Jingmo seemed to have discovered something suddenly. He squatted down and fished out a small flower from the crack in the rock under his feet.
"You are so meticulous! This must be the golden-edged daphne I threw in the Jiangfu culvert!" Lu Chengfeng took the flower and looked at it carefully, "I didn't expect that the branches and leaves of this flower were carried away by the rushing water.
Even though I am dead, this flower is still standing stubbornly in the crevices of the rocks! God is really helping me!"
"So the culvert in Jiang Mansion can indeed lead to this underground river! And this underground river leads to Yinghe Waterfall!" Wu Jingmo just started to reason, but suddenly stopped, and turned to Lu Cheng in confusion and embarrassment
Feng asked, "Why is there no way out here at Yinghe Waterfall?"
Lu Chengfeng also squatted down, carefully looked outside the entrance of the waterfall, and stuck his head out to take a look. This Yinghe Waterfall is at least three feet high! Moreover, the water flows thousands of miles, and the water is very fast! It is indeed endless.
There’s a long way to go!
The case has become extremely anxious again! Seeing that the color of fish belly is gradually turning white in the east, the time to open the city gate is coming soon!
Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo were as anxious as two ants on a hot pot, spinning around in circles. They just wished they couldn't grow wings, soar into the sky, and fly straight to the city gate!
"What can we do? Brother Chengfeng, what can you do?" Wu Jingmo said anxiously.
"Not yet!" Lu Chengfeng was also very anxious at the moment!,
"How about the two of us return the same way?" Wu Jingmo frowned and suggested coldly. After all, there is no countermeasure, so it is better to go back!
"How long does it take to start from this ruined temple and run to the city gate?" Lu Chengfeng asked after pondering for a moment.
"The ruined temple is in the south of the city, and the city gate is at the northernmost end of Jinghua City. From the ruined temple to the city gate, you have to go through the entire Jinghua City from north to south! Even if you go fast, it will take half an hour! If you walk, it will be even slower.
Less, if you and I measure the steps of a man, it will probably take an hour, but it may not be there yet! Since the murderer is a petite and thin woman, no matter how agile she is, it will take more than an hour!"
After Wu Jingmo blurted out, he felt that the fire was even more fueled! When he thought that they would not be able to rush to block the city gate in time to find the suspect, he felt that his chest was feeling tight.
"What if we start from Yinghua Street and go to the city gate?" Lu Chengfeng then asked.
"If you hurry up, you can arrive there in about a quarter of an hour! If you still rely on your legs to walk, it will take more than two quarters of an hour, and within three quarters of an hour, you can reach the northernmost city gate!" Wu Jingmo answered without thinking.
