Chi Youzhong is a place that Lien Daozhen and I value very much. Our life experience is likely to have important clues here. So, even though we knew there were countless dangers hidden here, we still came.
Dare to come does not mean carelessness. Lian Dao is really a cautious person. He came to this ship as soon as he noticed something wrong. There is only a mess in front of us, but it is extremely strange and terrifying. I have been staring nervously at the door of the cabin, afraid that a monster will suddenly appear there.
Ren Daozhen wandered around in the cabin, and when he found no more, he planned to leave. But he was worried that I would be in danger, and said: "I will send you back, you are waiting on the shore."
I shook my head and said, "So many people suddenly disappeared, which really made me feel scared. However, I was scared before going to Taohuayuan, but I went anyway."
Lian Dao really looked at me for a few seconds, then nodded, and said, "The qi in your body should have other magical functions. After this incident, I will find a way to help you arouse it."
I laughed and said, "Don't want me to kowtow to you."
This is naturally a joke, just to ease the tension at the time. However, Lian Daozhen responded very seriously, saying: "Naturally shouldn't. You and I are of the same kind. Although the ages are quite different, I can still be the elder brother."
I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that he would suddenly say this sentence, so he didn't know how to answer it.
Fortunately, Lian Dao really didn't say much about this. He walked to the side of the ship and looked at the Yellow River below. I went to him and followed the probe to look.
The water was turbid and panicked, and occasionally several small whirlpools could be seen flashing in the waves. I didn't sense the anger of the corpse, so I asked him, "What should I do now? Just jump down?"
"I'll find out with the power of water first." Lian Daozhen said.
His right palm crossed the ship's side, and a ray of black light fell into the water. After a while, he retracted his palm, frowning and saying, "There is indeed a hole under the river bed, but those people are not at the bottom of the river."
"Perhaps it was swept away by the undercurrent." I said.
"Maybe." Lian Daozhen glanced at me and asked, "Are you ready to go down?"
I spread my hand and said, "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng."
Lian Dao hummed, and then a black light rolled up me and jumped off the boat. I know that the black light can protect us from the river water, so I only feel novel, but I am no longer as scared as before.
Under the protection of the black light, we safely sank to the bottom of the river. There were many things scattered here, which I thought were all thrown from the passing ships. However, when I was in the river, I saw some bones. Most of them are corroded and should have been dead for a long time. They were buried alone in the river sand, which made me think about the craftsmen in the tomb of the original imperial tomb. At the same time, I was feeling that even though the ancient Yellow River water had fed many people, it had also swallowed countless people.
After Lian Daozhen led me to sink into the river, a khaki light radiated from the soles of his feet and penetrated below. The silt quickly separated automatically, as if someone was constantly digging. We sink, but the speed is not fast.
Lien Daozhen hasn't spoken, standing there as if there is nothing wrong, but I know that he has always been alert to the unknown.
After sinking a few meters from the surface of the river bed, we gradually felt a pressure. This pressure doesn't know where it comes from, it just makes people feel like something is pressed down on the body. I feel uncomfortable and suddenly want to leave here, as if there is something that disgusts me. This kind of inexplicable impulse makes me a little nervous.
Because no matter how you look at it, Chi Youzhong has a lot to do with me.
Just when I was up and down in my heart, the sinking speed suddenly accelerated. I thought it was Lian Dao Zhenshi's means, but I didn't expect him to take my arm and said in surprise, "Be careful."
I just noticed that his face was full of surprises. Looking around through the black light, I was surprised to find that the sand was falling down at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time, I felt a lot of suction coming from below. In this case, it is as if we have entered a quicksand zone.
At this moment, it was not Lien Daozhen who led me to sink, but the suction force below sucked both of us together with the mud and sand.
I subconsciously grabbed Lien Daozhen’s arm with a backhand and asked loudly, "What happened! Is the monster going to eat us!"
"Don't panic!" Lian Dao really yelled, and said, "With me, no monsters can eat you!"
The self-confidence in his words made me feel a little restless, but I still couldn't stop the fear in my heart. The more I go down, the more irritable I feel.
Before I knew it, we had sunk more than ten meters or more, and the suction was getting stronger and stronger. I don't know if it was an illusion. It seemed that I could hear the sound of the sand sliding down quickly.
Suddenly, I felt empty under my feet and my arms tightened. Then, my feet suddenly stepped on the ground. I lowered my head in amazement, but saw a dryness under my feet. There is no sand, no water, only black stones.
I looked up, but I was dumbfounded, because the top of my head was also a black stone.
How is this possible!
We obviously came in from underwater, and there is still a lot of mud and sand around, how could there be rocks on our heads now
I looked at Lian Daozhen. He knew exactly what I wanted to ask. He glanced around cautiously and said, "It's weird here, and I don't know what's going on."
The space we are in is full of black stones. The stone is black and pure, with an outrageously large area. If you don't treat it as a stone, it looks like a black hole that can suck everything in. The surroundings are extremely empty, but vague, as if blocked by fog. I glanced around and found nothing special, not even a piece of rubble.
"This is Chi You Tomb?" I was surprised, which was completely different from the tomb in my imagination.
"I don't know." Lian Dao really shook his head honestly. Then he looked at the thin mist in the distance and said solemnly: "Although I don't know if this is Chi Youzhong, I can feel the strange atmosphere there. It's not a corpse, but it makes people feel colder than it."
Even Dozhen feels chills in his heart? I was surprised.
Looking up, there seemed to be the same place all around. Vacancy and fog were what they had in common. The two of us seemed to have fallen to the center. I took a few glances, and then asked, "Where to go?"
Even Daozhen was thinking about this issue. After thinking for a while, he said, "The breath of the surroundings is almost the same, so let's move on."
The so-called front is for us, or the direction we were heading at the time was actually "rear".
However, facing a strange place with exactly the same environment in all directions, it makes no difference where you go.
We both walked side by side, walking slowly, and proceeded cautiously. The black stone under his feet is very hard, even Daozhen said that even ordinary gold and iron may not be as hard as this stone. Because he once waved off a golden light, but failed to leave a trace on the black stone.
While walking on the road, while I was nervous about this strange environment, I was worried about how to leave when I looked back? The stone is so hard that even Dao Zhen can't cut it off. It's definitely impossible to rush out directly. I can only pray for exits in other directions...
I wanted to leave as soon as I came in. This is something I have never encountered before. I still don't understand why I hate this place so much.
Especially when I looked at the black stone up and down, it was as if I saw a fly, and I was very irritable, and I vaguely wanted to smash all the stones.
Lien Dao really saw my strangeness and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
I knew that my sudden mood was a bit weird, but it was hard to tell, so I could only make a difference and asked him: "You said the people on the ship, would they be here?"
Lian Dao really thought about it and nodded and said, "It's very possible. But we have water protection, but they will be covered by mud and water. Even if they can get down, they will suffer heavy losses."
I sighed and said, "I really don't know how Er Bo and Zhao Qiming found this kind of place."
"I'm also very curious, if this is Chi Youzhong, how did they get through that layer of mud and sand." Lian Daozhen said.
Together with Lian Daozhen, although they have learned more and more things, the affairs of Er Bo and Zhao Qiming have been covered in more fog. Just like the path we are taking, the more you look, the more confused you will be.
We don't know how long we have been away, and the appearance around us has not changed. The hazy and shallow mist has been surrounding the surroundings, neither moving nor increasing or decreasing. Lien Daozhen asked me as he walked, "Did you find anything weird?"
I didn't want to say, "Everything looks the same here, it's weird at first."
"You are right!" Unexpectedly, Ren Dao really responded to my words very seriously. He stopped abruptly and waved his hand to shed a blue light. The light whirled like the wind and faded away.
Lian Daozhen watched the light disappear, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Same as I thought."
"Huh?" I stopped, looked at him, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lian Daozhen still looked at the direction where the blue light disappeared and said, "This fog looks like fog, but it's not. It won't be blown by the wind. It will always be wherever it started.
I was startled slightly, and subconsciously asked: "It's not fog, but what..."
Even Daozhen didn't know how to answer. He frowned and thought for a long time before throwing me a vague answer, saying, "It's like a rock in the sky and the ground."
I really didn't know how to understand this sentence, so I had to ask him what he meant. This time, Lian Daozhen thought for a while before saying: "I mean, it is like the stone here, it is a fixed thing, not the fog as we imagined."
Although this sentence sounds easier to understand than before, it is not that simple to really understand it. Even after a long time, I really understand what Lian Daozhen said "like a rock in the sky" means. . (End of this chapter)
