We took a look and found that the mud pillars on the riverside and in the river were larger than those above, but the number was much smaller. We looked around with wolf eyes and found nothing special. There was nothing in the river.
There is no trace of human activity on the shore. It seems that this is a closed place and no one has been there before.
"This river is not flowing." At this time, Ashue suddenly said.
We took a closer look, and sure enough, everyone in the blood river was motionless, with no ripples at all. In fact, if you think about it, you should know that if the river water here is flowing, where should it flow? After all, this is
Even if there is an underground river beside the old course of the Yellow River, if it flows, a large area of the river water will turn red, and it should have been discovered long ago.
"And if my guess is correct, this blood river should be at the bottom of the old course of the Yellow River." Ashue suddenly expressed an astonishing thought.
"Under the river? How is it possible?" The fat man shook his head hurriedly. Not only him, but also I couldn't believe it. The fat man said: "If it was under the Yellow River, wouldn't it have been washed away when the Yellow River changed its course and flowed through here?
Come out. Under normal circumstances, the soil under the river is very soft. Look at the dome above and these mud pillars. They are extremely hard. There seems to be no trace of the river flowing through them."
I nodded in agreement, but at this time Ashue said: "That's not necessarily true. What if such a place was formed after the Yellow River dried up?"
"No, no, that's impossible. The Yellow River's old course hasn't been dry for many years. How could such a place be formed in a hundred years? Look around, it should have been settled over countless years, at least for more than a thousand years.
Yeah, the time just doesn’t match up at all.”
This time Ashue also fell silent, obviously thinking about this. I looked a little funny. It was not easy for a question to come up that she couldn't figure out.
I observed the surroundings and the dome, and suddenly an idea occurred to me and I said: "Maybe we are really underground right now along the old course of the Yellow River."
"Huh? Xiao Wang, do you have an opinion too? Oh, I see, you saw that A Xue was deflated, that's why you said that, right?" the fat man joked.
"What are you talking about? I have a reason." I rolled my eyes at the fat man and quietly observed Ashue. Seeing that she had no reaction, I continued: "Architecturally speaking, a curved dome like this
, the pressure is very high. As long as these mud pillars are strong enough and the barrier between the river water and the bottom is thick enough, theoretically they can withstand the weight of the river water. Take a look at the mud pillars around here.
The thinnest pillars are several meters in diameter, which are very strong support points. Although these mud pillars are arranged in a somewhat disorderly manner, each one is on the key point. For example, you can easily use a few fingers to
Hold an egg and break it, but if you hold the egg in the palm of your hand, it will be difficult to break it even if you use all your strength. This is because the stress points are even and the force becomes dispersed, so even if the overall
As the force becomes greater, it is difficult to shake the fragile shell of the egg. There is also the dome here. This arc-shaped dome transfers most of the pressure to the ground on both sides of the blood river, so the pressure in the middle will
It’s much smaller, making this impossible possible.”
The fat man scratched his head, looked at me with straight eyes, and said: "Little prince, what you said is too profound. I don't understand me, can you speak more straightforwardly?"
I sighed and explained to him more straightforwardly. I said, for example, there are two chopsticks. If you press hard on one of them, it will easily break.
Make an arc and insert it into the ground. Use another chopstick to hold up the middle of the arc. In this way, even if you use double your strength, you will not be able to break the two chopsticks. This is because the pressure is dispersed.
The fat man suddenly realized and patted his head and said: "I understand, to put it bluntly, it is the Trinity. These mud pillars, the curved dome and the soil on both sides, they disperse all the pressure, so this place can be kept from collapsing for many years.
"
I nodded and patted his shoulder: "You finally understand. Now I finally know the hard work of those teachers. The people's teachers are really great."
"Go, go, Mr. Gua, I know I am not as knowledgeable as you, but Mr. Gua also came up with the most direct reason."
"What?" I looked at him curiously.
"Have you forgotten what happened when we dug out the dragon's blood?"
"You mean, the blood of the dragon's blood comes from this river?"
"Of course, otherwise do you think that it really came out after digging through the dragon's body? I bet that the dragon's blood we dug must be at a certain end of the river."
After he said this, I also felt that it was very possible. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my body. Chen Xiazi once said that Longchaixue is a dangerous place, and the danger is unknown, but now we have rushed directly to our nest.
, wouldn’t this be worse?
Ashue obviously thought of this, and said: "Don't be happy, if there is really blood here, then we will be in big trouble now."
My heart trembled and I asked her if she had seen anything. Axue shook her head and did not answer my words. She just said: "Now we are faced with two choices. The first is to return the same way, but without Mr. Wang's guidance, we
You may not be able to get out of the Bagua Tomb. The second is to continue moving forward, but this road may be more dangerous."
"Go forward? Do you still want to go forward? But it's the end here!" the monkey next to me said nervously. I saw his eyes moving around and understood what he was thinking, not to mention how the blood river looked.
It's really weird. This river alone is a huge obstacle to him, because he is a landlubber and can't swim at all.
Axue pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Of course, I think the biggest secret of the whole tomb is in front of this." After saying that, she looked at both ends of the blood river and said: "Wang Fo, look.
What does this river of blood look like?"
I looked at it with my wolf eyes and found that the whole blood river was twisted and in the shape of an S. I subconsciously said: "It's curved, like a dragon."
Unexpectedly, Axue rolled her eyes at me and said angrily: "Young dragon, do you still remember what I told you in the underground palace? The Bagua Tomb looks like a huge Bagua, but
The whole tomb is just one of the points. There should be another point corresponding to that tomb. Don’t you think this blood river is like a dividing line?"
When she said this, I immediately understood. Indeed, this river of blood is very similar to the dividing line between the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram. According to what she said, there should be a tomb on the other side of the river.
, and that tomb is probably the real burial place.
"What will be there?" the fat man suddenly interjected.
"It's impossible to tell. There may be some weird things, there may be nothing, or there may be endless wealth. Until you actually see it, who knows."
"Then there's nothing we can do." I noticed that the fat man's eyes suddenly became very bright. I guess he only heard the last possibility. "We have suffered so much to get here. It's not like me to give up halfway.
My way of doing things is, if I don’t go and see what will happen, if I can get a few unique treasures from there, my life ideal will be realized."
I saw him showing his true nature as he spoke, so I couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned to look at the monkey, and asked him what his opinion was.
There was still some embarrassment on Monkey's face. Just when I wanted to say that maybe he could wait for us here, Monkey's body shook and he said with some righteousness: "Although the road is difficult, the spirit of revolutionary comrades will become stronger, little by little."
How can small difficulties stop our great determination? Generals will inevitably die on the battlefield. Death is not terrible. What is terrible is not having ideals. Difficulties and hardships are not terrible. What is terrible is shrinking from battle. Therefore, we must move forward bravely."
Listening to his impassioned declaration, my heart started to boil with enthusiasm. Even the monkeys realized how could I lag behind. I wanted to praise him a few words and then express my revolutionary aspirations, but before I could say anything,
I heard the monkey continue to say: "Besides, there may be countless peerless treasures there. Others can't get it for free. No matter what, I have to get two pieces back. Gaga, what kind of melon is that? When I have money, I will
Build a villa around your house, and then get ten or eight beautiful women to live in it. Your boy's ideal is too dirty. We must monitor you at all times and not let you embark on the path of capitalism and feudalism.
Crooked road.”
"Let me tell you, you are such a bad boy. Mr. Gua is not someone who can be manipulated by others. When Mr. Gua gets rich, he will buy a large piece of land so that you will not have enough land to build a villa, quack!"
When I heard them starting to talk nonsense again, I couldn't help but shake my head with a wry smile. I turned around and saw that Axue had already started walking towards the blood river, so I hurriedly caught up with him.
"Axue, do you really want to continue?"
Axue nodded and said: "Now I am basically certain that Big Dragon Head has come in here, and I must find him."
"Why? Although Li Dalongtou is your gangster, you are different from me. The old man and I are close relatives, but you and Li Dalongtou should not be related at all. Why are you so persistent?"
Ashue glanced at me, with a smile on her lips, but it looked a little bitter. "You won't understand. I left some things with him. I must get them back. I have an agreement with him.
Ten years are almost here and there is no way I will give up."
