Today's square pool is still the same as before.
There are rotten iron chains, which seem to lock the heavy things at the bottom of the pool, stretched straight and sank to the bottom of the pool, and the pool is as calm as ever.
It's like a mouthful of stagnant water that hasn't changed for thousands of years.
Crash!
Fangzheng took a step down the stone steps by the pool, and the originally calm pool water rippled, and at the same time, the soles of his feet were also wet by the pool water.
Fang Zheng waited quietly for a few minutes, seeing that there was no danger, he took another step.
Wow!
Another circle of ripples opened.
Next, Fangzheng began to test the square pool one step at a time. Every time he took a step, he would stop for a while, and only after he realized that there was nothing wrong would he continue to take the next step.
Although this is time consuming.
But this is the safest and safest way to go.
Everything is steady and wins.
Don't rush forward and put yourself in an unknown dangerous situation.
Just going down to the pool and the stone steps, Fang Zheng walked for about 20 minutes. Finally, when the pool was covered by the scarlet eyes of the demon ape, Fang Zheng sank under the pool.
After a short period of visual discomfort, Fangzheng saw the situation under the pool clearly.
First of all, it was under his feet, and after walking a few steps, there were broken and collapsed stone steps. Fortunately, he didn't take a few steps forward, otherwise, he would inevitably fall into the water in an embarrassing weightlessness.
And under the broken stone steps, there is a bottomless black pool that gets darker and darker.
And the thick iron chains above the head have been sinking into the deepest abyss that cannot be seen.
After the field of vision became more and more adapted to the light under the pool, Fangzheng continued to look at the surrounding environment. This is a pool that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
The deeper the pond is, the darker and wider it will be without bottom.
When Fangzheng walked to the last stone step, he even saw that the surroundings of the pool were endless at a glance... It seemed that the space under the pool was very huge.
"It's narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the depth of the pool is so dark, how come this pool looks more and more like the ancient trumpet urn burial method in the Yin Gathering Place." Fang Zheng frowned.
It is not a good sign that the ancients used this trumpet urn burial method.
Either it is used to suppress extremely fierce corpses or evil spirits, or it is used to bury the bones of enemies. The opening of the burial well is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which means that it will be suppressed forever, and the three souls and seven souls will not be allowed to go out to have the chance of reincarnation.
It was originally a trumpet urn, and another one was filled with cold water. I don't know what it was that made the mountain god of the past mobilize so many people to imprison him.
Unfortunately, on the first floor of the dungeon, he couldn't find any description about the bottom of the pool.
He pondered for a while.
Fangzheng started to dive, and slowly swam around, planning to be safe, first explore the surrounding area to see if there is any edge, if there are no clues, he will then consider whether to explore the depths of the pool.
To say that the only benefit in the spiritual world is that the soul is out of the body, without the physical shackles of the outside world.
You don't have to worry about suffocation, hypoxia and other issues.
So Fang Zheng held his breath under the pool for more than ten minutes without any suffocation or uncomfortable feeling.
After swimming for more than ten minutes, Fangzheng also gradually found out some of the conditions under the pool. The bottom of the pool was like a water prison, with many thick stone pillars and many karst caves. In these stone pillars and caves, there are iron cages, which should be used to hold prisoners.
You don't have to guess.
It must be used by the mountain god to imprison the masters of the city gods in the past.
It's just that these stone pillars and karst caves are falling down, breaking and breaking, and there is a scene of ruins under the pool, and there are a lot of buoyant floating objects floating in the water.
For example, a large number of wood fragments, hemp rope, paper scraps, sundries and other floating objects.
As for those iron cages that were fixed in the stone pillars and caves, one by one, and they were smashed and deformed, Fangzheng swam all the way down, and they were almost empty.
Fangzheng also specially swam closer to check, these iron cages are all locked, that is to say, many of these iron cages were vacant at the beginning, and no prisoners were held.
Just as Fangzheng swam past another iron cage that was deformed by two heavy stone pillars, and just as he was about to pass by, Fangzheng found a piece of yellowed leather paper of similar color, U-shaped, stuck in the cage. On an iron rod, it was constantly washed by the water from the bottom of the pool.
Fangzheng swam over out of curiosity, then carefully took the half piece of parchment and looked at the contents on it.
The fonts written on it are also traditional Chinese characters of ancient people.
But fortunately, most of them can understand.
"Tao family's secret technique?"
The toes of the demon ape stepped on the frame of the iron cage. One ape arm was holding the iron cage, and the other hand was holding the parchment. Fangzheng looked carefully.
The texture of the parchment is very soft, and it is not known whether it is parchment from animals or human parchment from humans, and the so-called secret art of the Tao family seems to come from one of the city god's core cultivation secret arts.
The city god's surname is Tao.
It talks about how to cultivate living people into immortal clay figurines, so as to survive and cultivate in the age of spiritual energy exhaustion, so as to wait for the next round of spiritual energy recovery.
It also divides the cultivation realm of clay figurines, one more clay, two more soil... The content behind is broken and can't be seen.
After reading the contents of this incomplete piece of parchment, Fangzheng suddenly realized, isn't this the same virtue as a gravekeeper and a cadaver.
Cultivation, practice, the result is to train yourself to be neither human nor ghost, neither yin nor yang, human nor human ghost nor ghost, this kind of cultivation, you can't talk to girls about life, you can't live in the sun and sunbathe in winter, you can't eat all over the world All the food, what is the meaning of life.
Fang Zheng disdainfully threw away the parchment in his hand.
With the water flowing with his arms, soon, the skin paper disappeared under the pool.
call!
A strange water flow formed an underwater vortex, sucking the drifting parchment into the dark depths of the pool.
Hearing the movement of the water behind him, Fangzheng waved his arms, and with the help of buoyancy, he immediately turned to look behind him.
As a result, there was nothing on the surface of the water behind him.
After observing for a while, Fang Zheng turned around again and continued to explore the edge of the pool.
However, after another ten minutes or so, Fangzheng kept swimming forward, but he still didn't reach the edge of the pool. There seemed to be no end to the bottom of the pool.
At this time, holding the iron cage in his hand, Fangzheng stood on a broken stone pillar platform with only a part of the stone pillar left, and looked at the dark distance that could not be seen too far under the water...
This iron cage is different from other iron cages along the way. There are traces of violent damage. The iron door is twisted, deformed, and half opened.
It was as if a ferocious beast had been imprisoned in this iron cage, and now the ferocious beast had broken free from the iron cage and escaped.
Fangzheng glanced at the iron cage beside him, and then at the dark distance. He felt that he went too far, and he didn't find any useful clues along the way.
So I plan to go back to the starting point first, and then continue to explore from other directions, whether I can find the end.
The most important thing is that this underwater is too eerie!
After making the decision, Fangzheng didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately started to swim back.
call!
The moment Fangzheng turned around, the water flow behind him was abnormal, Fangzheng turned around vigilantly...
