Shuiyue looked at me blankly, then sighed for a while and said: "Actually, I did this for you. If we keep them, we won't encounter them again on the next road, and we can avoid them."
If you have done it once, can you escape the next time? This time, I am still by your side. What if I am no longer by your side? Have you ever thought that you may be killed by them anytime, anywhere? Wang Fo, this is not the case
It is a game, but a battle of life and death. We have to face not only the obstacles of the environment, but also people. Sometimes people are the most terrifying. If we want to survive to the end, we must be ruthless.
If we don’t want to die ourselves, we need others to die.”
"This, are you going too far?"
"Hey, it seems that you still don't fully understand the darkness of the human heart! Wang Fo, you are too kind. People who are too kind cannot survive in this industry. However, this is fine, I don't want to face this every day in the future.
People are people with dark hearts and cunning people. I have always lived in the darkness. I want the person who will accompany me in the future to be a person who lives in the sun. Let me do everything for you that you are not good at doing.
do it!"
I had nothing to say, shook my head, and climbed up with her.
After nearly ten meters, the cave finally reached the end, which was a 90-degree corner. What appeared in front of us was a flat stone path, more than two meters high and wide, winding forward and very deep.
It was obviously dug manually. It is hard to imagine that such a passage could be opened in a place like this. With the technology and manpower at that time, one can imagine how difficult it was.
The eagle's talons were caught in the nook of a raised stone at the corner. Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. The angle was so tricky. It was a miracle that the eagle's talons could catch it. In other words, our two lives were saved.
It's like picking it up.
Now I no longer object to what Shui Yue did. Since these people want our lives, they should be punished.
By the time we climbed up the stone path, Shuiyue was already exhausted and sat there panting. After all, I had been holding her waist just now, carrying the weight of two people. As a girl, she
It’s already very rare.
I smiled gratefully at her and stretched my head to look down. It was pitch dark and there was no movement, so I sat next to her and started to rest.
About ten minutes later, when I stretched my head to look down again, I found a burst of light. It must be that the people below thought we had fallen and wanted to climb up according to the method we thought.
At this time, my arm was pulled. As soon as I turned around, a loud bang came from below. I felt that the stone path I was on trembled a few times, but it soon returned to calm.
I cautiously looked down, but I was shocked to find that the entire cave below had been blown down. Even the stone wall opposite us had completely fallen down, and the river water was pouring into the cave at a speed several times faster than before.
The entrance of the cave is surging and surging, which is very spectacular.
It can be imagined that the falling water column has become solid now. With this water flow and the falling stone just now, it is estimated that the people below are in danger. Even if they are lucky enough to survive for a while, I am afraid they will not be able to last long.
time.
I took a deep breath and felt a little lost. I felt that something principled in my heart began to collapse. I don't know if this is wrong or right, but I feel that from now on, I may take a different path.
After a while, I calmed down and turned to look at Shuiyue, only to find that her eyes were staring straight ahead, not knowing what she was looking at.
Puzzled, I looked intently, and immediately discovered that directly in front of our stone path was an underground river six to seven meters wide. The river was very fast, and the rocky walls on both sides were jagged, often forming whirlpools.
In the darkness in front of the darkness, I saw a small white dot, slowly moving towards here. I am very strange, what is the white dot? Everyone knows that if it cannot emit light, it will be in the dark.
It's hard to see, even if the thing is white. Are those white dots something that emits light?
Flashlight? I thought, maybe someone dropped the flashlight into the river and floated down the river, so we could see it.
No, if it's a flashlight, the light should be radial or rectangular, but what we see is just a point, and it's a bit blurry, giving people a very weird feeling.
I really couldn't think of anything, so I had to ask Shuiyue next to me: "Do you see what that is?"
Shuiyue didn't answer my words, but murmured to herself: "It's strange, how can you see it here? Could it be that we were down there all the time? This layout is really weird."
I felt a little anxious when I heard that, so I asked again. This time she finally turned to look at me, with a strange expression on her face. She said, "Wang Fo, do you still remember the thing mentioned in He Tao's notes?
"
"The things mentioned in He Tao's notes? In the river?" I thought about it, and suddenly I was inspired. Only one thing in the underground river described in He Tao's notes was white, and that was the bone boat. Could it be that we
Is that the bone ship you see now?
"No way, Shuiyue, when you came here, didn't you say that the river with the bone boat leads to a dead end? And we are walking through the gate, why do we see it here?"
Shuiyue thought for a while, then pointed to a huge vortex that was gradually forming at the entrance of the cave below, and said: "If we hadn't blown up the cave just now, don't you think this is indeed a dead end? Even now, you
Who do you think can climb up this whirlpool to our stone path?"
I took a look, and it was indeed true. We are now directly above the newly formed vortex, and there are no points of leverage around us. It is simply impossible to climb up from below.
"But your grandfather is a genius. I didn't expect that he found the entrance to this place from below. This is simply a miracle."
"What, do you think my grandfather has come in?" I looked at her in surprise, where did she get this conclusion?
Shuiyue raised her hand and pointed to a corner of the stone path. I looked over and found a line of small words: "Wang Yisheng, you can't escape the palm of my hand."
I was surprised. It didn't seem to be written by the old man. It should have been written by another person who was chasing the old man. This also proved that the old man had been here.
"Who do you think wrote this?"
"You should be able to imagine it." Shuiyue said.
An idea flashed in my mind and I blurted out: "Is it Shui Ling?" Yes, she followed the old man down. It was probably because the old man was afraid of seeing her and refused to stop and face her, so she got angry for a moment.
I wrote this sentence here.
"Forget it, who can tell clearly what happened decades ago? Should we leave now?" I said.
But Shuiyue shook her head, frowned and said, "Wait a minute, let's see what happened to that ship. I always feel like something is wrong."
I almost didn't scream. Since something felt wrong, why didn't we leave quickly? But Shuiyue seemed determined and turned off the flashlight, then sat on the stone path and looked ahead quietly.
The ship was getting closer and closer, and gradually I could see a rough outline, until it finally appeared completely clearly in front of my eyes.
Although I already knew something about it from He Tao's notes, when I saw the real thing, my heart couldn't help but speed up a lot, and my whole body tensed up, giving me a very shocking feeling.
The hull is about ten meters long and is made entirely of white bones. There is no debris from the hull to the cabin, especially the neatly arranged skulls on the surrounding fence. The hollow eye sockets make people feel their hearts go out.
Chill.
But the strange thing is that there is no one on the boat, but the hull never touches the stone walls on both sides. Even the protruding rocks in the river are easily avoided, as if someone is masterfully controlling this situation.
It seemed very weird.
Soon the bone boat drifted to the whirlpool. Although the whirlpool was four or five meters in diameter, the hull was larger, so the bone boat got stuck there but did not fall.
Not long after the bone boat stopped, the cabin was suddenly opened, and then a group of people filed out of it.
There were less than twenty of them, wearing very weird clothes, like a combination of ancient and modern times. They were led by an old man with white beard and hair and came to the deck of the bone ship.
Everyone's face was very strange, because none of these people showed any expression, they had a completely blank expression, and their eyes were very dull. They formed a large circle on the deck, and then sat down together.
I felt very curious in my heart, what on earth were these people going to do? But at this time, I found that Shuiyue's breathing suddenly became heavier next to me. I touched her, but I felt her body trembling, and then she simply
He hugged me with one arm and buried his head in my arms, but from time to time he stretched his head to look down.
"you……"
I was about to ask, but she blocked my mouth. Then she put her mouth to my ear and said softly: "Don't ask, don't tell. If you find something wrong later, just leave me alone and run away."
.”
I was a little nervous and uneasy after what she said, and at this time, some changes occurred below.
The dozen or so people gathered in a circle were mumbling something, and then they all kowtowed three times. Then two people stood up and walked into the cabin, carrying out a dark object.
I could see clearly that it was a dead man, probably just fished out of the water. His clothes were still dripping with water, and his face was like a piece of white paper, but his eyes were wide open, revealing a pair of white dead fish inside.
