Under Zhang Xiuxian's gesture, Feng Yu turned around to check. The water in the underground river was warm and comfortable, which would not make people think that there would be anything bad in this place, but this was not the case.
Feng Yu was really frightened. Behind Feng Yu, crawling was a thing with a face covered with hair that looked like a human but not like a human. Its body was floating on the water. It was very light and small. Its hands were long and white.
They were smooth, but there wasn't even a hair on the long fingers. Feng Yu didn't notice it at all when his hands were pressed against Feng Yu's body.
The lantern was in Feng Yu's hand, so Zhang Xiuxian could see it very clearly on the stone bank. He didn't make any noise, but just gestured. Feng Yu was quite smart at this point. After understanding what Zhang Xiuxian meant, Feng Yu gritted his teeth and frowned.
He frowned but did not cry out.
But he was startled anyway. Feng Yu looked at the thing that didn't look like a human. The thing was a bit ugly. At first glance, it looked like a monkey, but it never looked like a monkey.
I have seen such a monkey.
Feng Yu pretended to be calm, but in fact, his heart was already in a mess. Feng Yu remained silent because he knew in his heart that there was something stepping on his feet, and it was probably such a monkey.
Zhang Xiuxian was waiting to pick up Feng Yu on the stone bank. When he saw Feng Yu climbing up a little, he kicked the monkey behind Feng Yu away. Because its hand was holding on to Feng Yu, it tore off a piece of its leather and flesh.
, Feng Yu was in unspeakable pain.
The one under his feet seemed to feel something strange, and began to wrap around Feng Yu's feet to pull him underwater. His hands and feet were like a child holding your legs, and they were extremely strong. After all, Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian were two people, one and the same.
The young monkey couldn't compete with the strength of the two of them. After struggling desperately, Feng Yu finally climbed up the stone bank with kicks.
After the whole process, Feng Yu was still undecided, and he was very scared. Not to mention what the monkey-like thing was, he just pulled a few times and felt that this monkey was not simple, or it was a monkey at all, because it was too strong.
Only two adults could barely defeat it. If Zhang Xiuxian was not around, Feng Yu would have been dragged into the water.
The two of them sat on the stone bank and gasped for air. You looked at me, I looked at you, and my mind was full of questions.
Zhang Xiuxian asked: "Damn you, you are really big-hearted. With such a ghost crawling behind you, and it can even paddle in the water, why don't you think about why that lamp is floating in the water?"
Didn’t your second uncle teach you not to pick up random things on the road?"
Feng Yu just drank a lot of underground river water, burped and vomited twice, and shouted back: "What's wrong with my dog-pawing? I'm doing it gloriously and freely, but it looks a bit uglier. Maybe it's because of this action, the people behind it
That damn thing didn’t attack me. Besides, this lantern is mine in the first place. It’s natural for me to take care of my own things. Do you care about it?”
Zhang Xiuxian waited for Feng Yu to finish speaking, then took the lantern from Feng Yu's hand and threw it into the dark river from a distance.
"Then you should give me another look and see if those things will attack you."
Without the light of the lantern, darkness once again enveloped me. Feng Yu cursed: "Zhang Xiuxian, are you fucking crazy? What do you mean? You want me to die here with you?"
Zhang Xiuxian immediately held Feng Yu down and asked him to lower his voice, "You are fucking crazy. Please lower your voice and don't attract that thing here again."
Zhang Xiuxian added: "You really don't know what that thing is?"
"What is it? You should tell me."
"That thing is a water ghost, haven't you heard of it?"
It's not that Feng Yu has never heard of water ghosts, he just hasn't seen them before. He asked: "How do you know this thing belongs to water ghosts?"
"There is a saying that no one can walk by the river without getting their shoes wet. Rumor has it that water ghosts are creatures that live under the water. Water ghosts usually appear in rivers or ponds. This thing is actually a water monkey. It is extremely powerful and can
It’s hard to say for what specific purpose it was to pull the fallen person into the water and drown him. Any talk of paying for one’s life is nonsense.”
While listening, Feng Yu took off his soaked clothes and squeezed the water out. He asked Zhang Xiuxian, "Is there really such a thing in the world?"
"The world is so big that it is full of wonders. I used to fight with the troops and encountered this once. In the local area, people call this thing a kappa. It is a small river pond. Every year, many people are attacked by water monkeys.
He was dragged into the river and drowned, and there were no bones left. People said that they were eaten by kappas. Since the troops had no way to take a detour, they had to cross the river pond. Strange to say, many people disappeared during the trip. The leader
When we saw that we hadn’t arrived at our destination yet, how many people would be left after going back and forth like this? So we found a local goddess and spent a lot of money to make sacrifices. Then the goddess showed us how to catch water monkeys.
, it can be regarded as eliminating harm to the place."
"The leader of your army also believes this? The goddess is a big liar."
"There are so many strange and weird things in the world. There are some things that you just can't believe. Ghosts and gods are terrifying."
Feng Yu didn't expect that Zhang Xiuxian would still believe this, "When you took the things from the tomb, I didn't see you believing in ghosts and gods."
"I believe in ghosts and gods, but I don't believe in the dead. Besides, none of those tomb owners who were wealthy during their lifetimes came from plundering the people's oil and water. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that water can carry a boat and capsize it. It is the principle that water can be used by the people and used by the people.
Do you understand?"
When Feng Yu saw Zhang Xiuxian preparing to talk nonsense, he immediately asked: "What happened next? Did you catch the water monkey?"
"Definitely. The chief personally took action. It's just a water monkey. Did it escape? But that water monkey is obviously much bigger than the ones just now. It must have good food and grow fast.
"
"If you say that thing is a monkey, I don't fucking believe it."
"I didn't believe it at first. The water monkey looks like a human, about a foot tall. It has a foul smell and is covered with long hair. It moves very quickly and has a cunning character. It took a lot of effort to catch it, but this thing
It has a fatal weakness, that is, it cannot leave the water. We used more than a dozen nets to cover it. Even two cows could not pull it with that strength. But when we finally pulled it to the shore, it stopped moving in an instant. It was so weak and smelly meat.
Same."
"So it can't leave the water?"
"Yes, that's the truth, but you also saw it just now. I can't see dozens of water monkeys under this underground river. If I hadn't cleverly found a stone bank, I might not even be able to see you. Hey, say
Then I remembered, what the hell were you doing in the tomb, and it took you so long to come down, could you have brought some treasure with you? No, I can sue you, and you have to have my share."
Feng Yuxin said that what Zhang Xiuxian said was all the same. He didn't know whether what he said to the tomb owner in the tomb chamber was true or false, so he changed the question and asked: "Where are my second uncle and Zhang Manyue? Where are they?
?”
"I didn't see it. When I came down, I followed the current all the way to here. I didn't see anyone all the way. Your second uncle may still be ahead, but that's not a problem. We have to find a way to get out of here now."
Feng Yu saw the lantern thrown by Zhang Xiuxian floating on the water. After a while, several water monkeys gathered around him, and then he understood why Zhang Xiuxian did this. Although he couldn't see clearly in the absence of light, he could see the water.
It is also a good choice to lure the monkey away.
"Don't you still have a flare? Since the water monkeys are interested in light, give them one."
Zhang Xiuxian thought this was feasible, so he rummaged around in his bag for a flare and groped around in the bag in the dark. Zhang Xiuxian suddenly cursed: "Damn it, how did that golden snake get in?"
Speaking of the golden snake in the tomb, Feng Yu touched himself. After falling into the underground river, he could no longer feel the snake crawling on his body. It might have jumped into the underground river, but the feeling of being slithered by the snake was indeed
Creepy.
Under the dark light, Zhang Xiuxian asked Feng Yu while cursing the golden snake: "Feng Yu, do you have a weird feeling on your body, especially under your crotch?"
When asked by Zhang Xiuxian, Feng Yu grabbed two handfuls and seemed to have a strange feeling. He was worried about those golden snakes escaping into his butt before, but now looking at it, could it be that they scurried into another place?
Zhang Xiuxian fired the flare out with a "bang". There was not much space above the underground river. Zhang Xiuxian shot it out. The strong light was extremely dazzling. When the signal bomb landed on the water, it immediately became the focus of the underground river and lit up most of the bottom of the water.
Fortunately, the burning of the flare is not affected by water. It can burn on the water for at least ten minutes.
The strong light instantly attracted many water monkeys to come closer. They were moving one by one under the water. It seemed that there must be hundreds of water monkeys in this area.
Feng Yu took a breath after reading this. He estimated that if he stayed in the water for a while longer, the water monkeys below would swarm him.
Zhang Xiuxian was not a hesitant person. When he saw which side the water monkeys were going to, he jumped directly into the water. Feng Yu was not good at water, so he could only pull Zhang Xiuxian, but Feng Yu was relieved. Zhang Xiuxian's ability to escape was difficult for others.
When I caught up, I encountered several water monkeys on the way, and I got rid of them as fast as I could.
Following the water of the underground river in the dark, they seemed to have left that area. After passing through several narrow waterways, the two of them seemed to have entered a cave. There were also the sounds of mountain monkeys in the cave.
The sound sounded familiar to Feng Yu. It was the cry of wild mountain monkeys outside the mountain temple.
They had just left the water cave and entered the monkey's nest. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the monkey's nest in the wild mountain. Anyway, the two of them stumbled to the ground first, landed on their feet, and then felt that they had regained the initiative.
