Wu Dazhi did not answer Zhou Zijing's words immediately, but glanced at Chu Yu. Obviously Chu Yu didn't know what happened.
"How do I know what happened?" Wu Dazhi shook his head. Things happened so suddenly and ended so suddenly.
"Brother Slim, I think we should keep going forward!" Chu Yu also calmed down at this time. She looked at the direction in which several ancient girls disappeared and said helplessly:
"I heard some strange things from old people before. They said that some people died unjustly and would leave their afterimages in places they often haunted during their lives. Maybe this is what we encountered!"
Chu Yu lowered his head, as if he was recalling something he didn't want to remember. His voice was very light and soft, and there was also a hint of coldness.
Wu Dazhi groaned and said, "If Chu Yu is right, then there should have been a palace here, and a princess lived here!"
Speaking of the princess, Wu Dazhi suddenly had a thought in his heart. If the palace was built solely for the princess Yun'er mentioned just now, then it is very likely that the mausoleum not far ahead may also be the resting place of this princess.
But if she was just a princess, wouldn’t the standard be a bit high? Wu Dazhi’s meditation attracted the attention of Chu Yu, who quietly poked Wu Dazhi and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Slim, have you thought of something?"
Wu Dazhi briefly stated his thoughts. Chu Yu nodded frequently, agreeing with his words:
"Let's go forward and take a look. This should be the ruins of a palace. Maybe we can find something!"
Without waiting for Zhou Zijing and Chu Yu to reply, Wu Dazhi packed up his things and strode forward.
But they didn't go long before their forward direction was blocked by a small pool of water. At the same time, the fierce collision sound from before sounded again.
"Dazhi, it turns out that the sound was coming from the water!" Zhou Zijing pointed to the water surface in surprise. They didn't dare to go forward, and they didn't know whether the water surface was real or someone's fantasy.
Wu Dazhi rubbed his temples and signaled Zhou Zijing to be quiet. He was not deaf, he could hear such loud noises.
He made a gesture to Zhou Zijing and Chu Yu to stay where they were, and then walked forward with the fastest and gentlest steps, but his actions that were very professional as a thief did not last long.
Just when he was about to reach the small pool, a young girl suddenly jumped out from the grass. She looked disheveled, which instantly gave Wu Dazhi the most evil thoughts.
However, before this idea could be realized, Wu Dazhi's emotional bar was filled with disbelief. The girl ran a few steps quickly and came to the edge of the pool, and finally stood directly in the middle of the pool.
This scene made Wu Dazhi, who always thought he had a big heart, a little unbearable. He quickly calmed down. What happened next made him confirm that everything he saw in front of him was just an afterimage.
Just a few minutes after the girl stepped onto the pool, a group of people dressed as palace maids ran over from a not too far distance carrying a pile of palace clothes.
They did not step onto the lake like the girls before, but just stood on the edge of the pool and shouted desperately:
"Princess, princess, you haven't dressed up yet, please come back quickly!"
Wu Dazhi instantly understood that the girl in the middle of the pool was the princess Yun'er had mentioned before, and she was indeed a person with super powers.
At this time, Wu Dazhi somewhat sympathized with the young princess. People with extraordinary talents in the 21st century would be regarded as aliens, not to mention that in ancient times thousands of years ago, this was simply an unforgivable existence.
The young princess did not pay attention to the words of the palace maid. On the contrary, she sat sadly on the water and gently stroked the calm water with her hands. The strange noise coming from the depths of the pool disappeared again.
"I'm sorry, this was not my intention. I will definitely let the Queen Mother release you. Please believe me, I will definitely do it!"
Wu Dazhi couldn't see the face of the young princess, so naturally he didn't know what her expression was like. But in just one sentence, he had already told all her thoughts.
There must be something trapped under the water that she cares about. Could it be a human? Wu Dazhi guessed, but if it was a human, how could it survive under the water for such a long time.
"Dazhi! What are you doing here? Didn't I ask you to come over and see what's under the water?" When Wu Dazhi was stunned, Zhou Zijing and Chu Yu ran over.
Zhou Zijing suddenly patted Wu Dazhi on the shoulder: "Master, I know you are a landlubber, don't be embarrassed, tell me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would have gone down."
Faced with Zhou Zijing's teasing, Wu Dazhi did not laugh. He looked at Zhou Zijing, who looked playful, and then at Chu Yu, who had just caught up from behind:
"Look at that girl, she might be the previous owner of the tomb!"
As he said that, Wu Dazhi pointed to the water, but something surprising and expected happened. The young princess disappeared without a trace.
"Who is he?" Zhou Zijing pointed at the back of Wu Dazhi's head and asked: "Damn it, when did you learn to scare people? Can you joke around here?"
"Didn't you see it?" Wu Dazhi ignored the pain on the back of his head and grabbed Zhou Zijing's big fat hand. He asked nervously and with some fear: "You really didn't see anything. There was a girl on the water just now.
Then there were a bunch of women holding clothes next to me..."
Zhou Zijing withdrew his hand with difficulty and spread it helplessly: "I'm sorry, I really didn't see it!" Chu Yu's reaction was similar to Zhou Zijing's.
Wu Dazhi sighed. This was the last thing he wanted to see. Among the three people, only he could see it. It was likely that he could only solve all the problems by himself.
"Then let me ask you, are there still any strange noises under the water?" Wu Dazhi suddenly remembered the strange noises and grabbed Zhou Zijing's fat hand again.
"Shit! Dazhi, don't tell me you're deaf!" Zhou Zijing didn't rush to free his hand this time. Instead, he looked at Wu Dazhi as if he were a monster: "Can't you hear such a loud sound?"
Wu Dazhi shook his head. He really didn't hear it. But as soon as he finished shaking his head, a huge sound came from his ears. Yes, it was exactly the same as what he heard by Tan Shui before.
"Hurry up! Fatty, can't you swim? Go down there and take a look. Maybe there's a person trapped down there!"
Wu Dazhi came to his senses and urged Zhou Zijing to get into the water while trying to take off his clothes.
"What do you want me to do?!" Zhou Zijing shook his head, then stepped back little by little: "I tell you, you can't even think of taking advantage of me!"
"Stop, stop talking nonsense, get in the water and see what's inside!" Wu Dazhi had seen Zhou Zijing's pretentiousness. Seeing that Zhou Zijing refused to go down, he stretched out his legs to kick him.
"You're crazy! I'm your brother who shares life and death with you. If you know what's going on, kick me down. If it's a water monster, or a man-eating frog, my life will be decided here!
"
As he spoke, Zhou Zijing turned around and ran away, like a little suckling pig about to be dragged to the slaughterhouse, as if I just won't go down, and you're supposed to go down.
