The water god only dragged me a distance of three to five meters before stopping and placing me on the rocky ground. After a while, someone was put down by the water god clinging to my side.
I couldn't tell whether the man was alive or dead. I only knew that his body was frighteningly cold. His cold, wet body pressed tightly against mine, making it impossible to feel any warmth.
After the water god placed the people on the ground one by one, he jumped back into the water, and the entire cave fell into deathly silence. I opened my eyes desperately to look around, but I could only see the dark roof of the cave.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the person next to me suddenly moved. After they touched my chest with their hands from left to right, their whole bodies moved towards me. Not long after the cold body half-pressed me, the palms stretched out from my left and right sides slowly slid under my neck.
A cold little hand pressed on my throat for just a moment, and I suddenly shivered. The next moment, I suddenly felt the other person's fingers slowly closing. As two cold fingers slowly tightened towards my neck, the hand suddenly changed its direction and moved along my collar to my chest, then pressed it on my chest and stopped; the other hand suddenly changed direction. But one hand reached under my clothes and pressed on my stomach.
What do they want to do
Before I could figure out the other person's intention, I heard someone standing up from a distance and groping to open something.
A few seconds later, I heard what sounded like someone turning the lighter's pulley
Someone is lighting a fire
Just when I thought I heard it wrong, a piece of fire suddenly flashed back and forth in the corner of my eye. Someone is actually using a lighter to light it up!
When I wanted to shout but couldn't, the cave was suddenly illuminated by a fire on the wall as bright as day, and Ye Xun's voice also came over: "Wang Huan, are you okay?"
"Ye Xun!" I shouted in surprise, "How are you?"
I haven't seen Ye Xun since he fell into the water, and I thought he had been killed. When I heard Ye Xun's voice, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Ye Xun walked around from my feet, looked down at me and said, "Don't worry, the medicine on you will slowly disappear, and you will be fine after a while. Just lie there and don't struggle, just wait slowly."
After I glanced around, I realized that Dong Xiaowei was lying on my left. She was putting her hands on my chest, while Zhang Shu, who was lying on my right, was holding my stomach with her hands.
I didn't react until this moment. The strength of the medicine on the two of them must have faded a small part. Although the two of them are not completely awake, they have already reacted subconsciously. They must have felt very cold, so they subconsciously wanted to lean on me. Keep warm.
I followed Ye Xun's words and lay quietly in the cave waiting for the medicine to wear off. Not long after, Dong Xiaowei woke up first: "Wang Huan? Wang Huan, how are you?"
Ye Xun said urgently: "Don't touch him, let him get up by himself."
"Oh..." Dong Xiaowei quickly retracted his hand and sat next to me quietly waiting for me to recover.
But the one who woke up first was Zhang Shu. After she woke up, she screamed: "Where is this place? Wang Huan, get up quickly!"
Zhang Shu's first reaction was to grab my arm and try to lift me up. As soon as she pulled me, I felt like my head was spinning, and a strong dizziness suddenly came over me. My stomach felt like an overwhelming feeling, and I subconsciously wanted to vomit. But I couldn't spit out the lake water that came up from my stomach. Instead, it choked into my trachea. I suddenly felt as if my lungs were going to explode. It was extremely uncomfortable to hold it in.
"Don't touch him!" Ye Xun raised his hand in anger and pushed Zhang Shu out. He knelt on the ground, picked me up with both hands and put me on his lap, and quickly slapped me on the back. A few palms.
I suddenly let out a "wow" sound, and lake water spurted out of my mouth and nose at the same time. I lay on Ye Xun's lap and vomited for a while. It was only when I vomited out bile that I stopped vomiting.
Ye Xun hesitated for a moment, then took out a pill from the guitar case and stuffed it into my mouth: "Take it."
I subconsciously asked: "Did you lose your equipment?"
Ye Xun asked back: "Isn't your knife also on you?"
I subconsciously reached out and touched the long knife on my back, and sure enough it was still there. My body had been in a state of paralysis just now, and I didn't even feel that there was a sheathed long knife behind me.
I gasped and looked around. The center of the cave where we are is connected to the Fuxian Lake puddle. We were probably dragged into the cave from there by the water god.
To the left of the puddle is an open space that looks like a platform. Several huge fish bones are scattered on the platform. Behind us is a seemingly endless ladder. On one side of the ladder is a fire tank lit by Ye Xun with a lighter.
When I stood up and looked around carefully by the firelight, I suddenly discovered that there was a pattern like a mural vaguely carved on the mountain wall behind the platform: "Ye Xun, come with me and have a look."
After Ye Xun helped me go around the water, I saw that in addition to fish bones, there were piles of arrows scattered on the ground of the platform. The longest and largest arrow among them was actually bigger than my palm. Much wider. Judging from the traces left on the ground, a fierce battle should have taken place here.
When I walked along the mountain wall, Ye Xun also used a lighter to light the fire tank on the mountain wall. This time, the scenery of the entire cave became a little clearer, and the murals carved on the cave came into my sight clearly.
Although the lines of those murals are extremely rough, they are well preserved. At least I can understand the meaning of the paintings. I walked around the cave and returned to the water. I pointed at the fire tank and said, "Ye Xun, please go and get some oil out of the fire tank."
Ye Xun picked the fire trough with the tip of his knife and quickly threw it to the ground. The lamp oil that was still burning just now extinguished the flame quickly after falling to the ground, and condensed into gray grease.
I reached out and dipped my hand in some lamp oil, flicked it twice and said, "I know where this place is. This is the Shark Palace in Gushan."
Ye Xun was shocked and said, "What did you say?"
I raised my finger dipped in lamp oil and said, "This is the legendary shark oil that lasts for thousands of years. The so-called Shark King back then did not swim into the cave by himself, but was led into the cave to hunt and kill him. The fish oil was used as fuel for the fire tank in the hole.”
Zhang Shu said with a trembling voice: "You mean, this is an ancient tomb?"
"The place where the mackerel oil is used to make lamps may not be an ancient tomb." I looked up at the passage, "We finally found the third Jianmu."
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "You said Gushan Island is the tree crown?"
"It must be!" I analyzed slowly, "Go and see those murals, which completely record the process from the establishment of the ancient city to the sinking of Fuxian Lake. I will tell you from the first painting..."
"Many years ago, the Jieyu Stone was still there, but it was not what it is now. It was a larger and more vivid open-air rock, at least not what we see now. There was a huge space underneath, which is what we see. We arrived at the Water God’s lair.”
"The front of Jieyushi did not become Zeguo, but a long and narrow land surrounded by lakes from both sides. Behind that land was Gushan. At that time, Gushan was not what we see now, but full of mountains. It’s all covered in green vegetation.”
"If you stand on the Jieyu Stone and look in the direction of the lonely mountain, the Jieyu Stone, the land, and the lonely mountain just look like a giant tree that fell in the shallow water of Fuxian Lake. If they are erected again, they will look like the legendary tree. The buildings connecting the three realms of heaven and earth are exactly the same."
As I spoke, I pointed to the third mural: "In the beginning, there was only one tribe on that land. That tribe believed that although the buildings had collapsed, they could still connect the three realms, so while they lived and multiplied on the land, They also threw the prisoners into the cave under the Jieyu Stone because they thought it was hell, and they also worshiped Gushan as a sacred mountain because they believed they could find heaven through the sacred mountain."
I pointed to the corner of the third mural and said, "Look there. Isn't there a painting of someone walking towards the sacred mountain through a cave?"
Ye Xun looked at it for a while and then said: "Why do I feel that the person who walked into the cave looked like he was dying."
I nodded and said, "I feel it too. Maybe that's a dying person! Many people from ancient tribes believe that the death of a human is to be summoned by the gods and return to the arms of the gods. They will enter the sacred mountain before dying. It’s not hard to understand.”
Ye Xun nodded and said, "You continue to talk."
I pointed to the fourth mural and said: "Suddenly one day, a powerful army rushed into this area, and the indigenous tribes were massacred crazily. They had to defy the will of the gods and lead their tribes into the sacred mountain to avoid the soldiers. Disaster. However, they still did not escape the fate of being killed."
"The sacred mountain that they have worshiped for thousands of years turned out to be the cemetery of the entire tribe. In despair, the tribe's wizards gathered the last tribe members and sacrificed them to the evil god, and issued a curse to invade their tribe. All the people were buried under the water.”
After hearing this, Ye Xun couldn't help but frowned and said: "According to your statement, that tribe should have completely disappeared. But how did the underwater ancient city come about? What happened to the corpses in the city? And those who occupied it? What’s going on with the Water God and the Ghost-Faced Shark in Fuxian Lake?”
After Ye Xun asked three questions in a row, he continued: "Besides, there is another place that you can't explain. Since the place under the Jieyu Stone is where the ancient tribe released prisoners, it should be a place for executing prisoners or discarding corpses. How could the grave pit become the water god’s lair?”
I pointed to the blazing fire tank on the mountain wall: "Look here, maybe it can help us explain something."
