I force myself to calm down, and I must not be flustered at this time.
This is a quiet river with no waves. The river seems to flow away quietly forever. As these corpses drifted for a long time, the river still did not end.
If everything portrayed in the map of Huangquan is real, then is this road right now the legendary Huangquan River
I hesitated a little. Before that, I never believed that there was any underworld or yellow spring in the world. However, how should I explain everything I see now and the environment I am in
In this way, it drifted for a long time, and the river in front seemed to have changed a little, and the flow rate of the river suddenly accelerated. I can feel that the terrain of the entire river course has tilted. The more you move forward, the more severe the tilt. The river seems to be pouring down, and the water waves become turbulent.
I suddenly became nervous and the water flow became fierce. In case there is any accident ahead, these corpses are not afraid of anything. They are dead people. No matter how bad the situation is, it can’t be any worse, but I can’t compare with them. No more.
I glanced around. At this time, there were raised stones on both sides of the river. The stones were washed by the river year after year and became very smooth. This is the only place that can be leveraged right now, and I can't miss it.
I moved my body slightly and started to swim. I squeezed hard from among the layers of corpses to the side of the river. The rocks were slippery without holding my hands, and the picks were not strong. However, every time I grabbed a stone, I can always Let his body stabilize, and just persisted for a while, finally stabilized his body in the river with the support of a stone.
After I stabilized my figure, the surrounding corpses continued to follow the crowd. I wanted to see where these corpses would eventually flow. So, I leaned on the raised stone bit by bit and moved forward. Although the current is much faster, there are more winds and waves, and I can hold on to it.
After all, I was crawling slowly, and after a while, all the corpses passed over me and floated to the front. The light here has always been dim, but strangely, the line of sight is very clear, and you can see scenes far away.
Gradually, I was about to climb to the end of this river. At the end of the river, there was an abyss, and all the river water flowed into the abyss, and the dead bodies floating on the river were also washed down with the current. I'm very careful, lest if I accidentally fall into the water, it will be forever.
I took advantage of the strength to climb forward again. It happened that there was a wide crack on the side of the river. This crack was big enough for me to squat in it. I hurriedly got into the crack and looked down from here.
At this glance, I was stunned.
After drifting in this river for so long, I couldn't see anything except the river water and corpses, except the sound of the slow running water, I couldn't hear anything. It seemed that this silence had been maintained for thousands of years, but when I stretched my head and looked towards the abyss at the end of the river, I saw many people.
Below the abyss, there was an endless flat land. The river turned into a waterfall. After the water poured down, it continued to flow westward along the ravine between the flat land. There are many people on the flat ground, and they are not clear. These people are pulling a lot of very thick ropes.
Looking up along the rope, I found this place,
In fact, it is the end of the road above the river. At the end of the road, there was a gate that was as strong as a mountain, and the gate was closed. These people pulling the rope seemed to want to open the closed gate.
The road above the river can't accommodate so many people, so these people are just below this abyss, constantly pulling a thick rope. In addition to ropes, there are many huge winches. The winch also has the power generated by the rope, which is earth-shaking. However, with such a large force, it is still unable to shake the heavy door above.
At a glance, I can feel that these people are trying to open the door here, it is not three or two years. At one end of the flat ground, many decayed and broken ropes and scattered winches were discarded.
If you don't come to this place, if you don't drift to the end along the river, you may never be able to witness this shocking scene in front of you.
The space below was very large. After my sight was completely dissipated, I saw again that there was a large net directly under the waterfall. Those corpses that fell with the water were all trapped by this large net.
I saw some people, taking their bodies out of the big net and putting them aside. Someone walked around the corpse, but I couldn't see exactly what it was doing.
After a while, a corpse stood up dangling. At this moment, the lamp bearer was not present, but the corpse seemed to have been resurrected suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, it seemed to be no different from a normal person.
After a corpse stood up, the corpses at the back stood up one after another. When all the corpses stood in place, someone led them and walked toward the north.
These corpses dragged up a thick rope and began to pull back like a slender. The rope is connected to the door above, and the rope is dragged, obviously trying to open the door.
Suddenly I was puzzled, as if I understood something, but I couldn't completely guess it. The dragging of the gate in this place must have been going on for a long time, but the outside world has not heard the least bit of wind. The people dragging the door are all dead bodies? The corpse has been dead for so long. It is an unimaginable miracle that the light bearer can lead the corpse to move on the ground. When the corpse arrives in this place, he can work like ordinary people, which is simply incredible.
All the people below are working and walking back and forth, and I can't tell which ones are living people and which ones are corpses. I can probably guess that Po Yun and the others collect usable corpses outside, and they just want to add it here.
I hid in the gap between this stone and observed for a long time, but I still couldn't fully understand the matter. Since I don't understand it, I don't want it for the time being. I plan to move to another place and check it again.
However, when I wanted to leave, I found nowhere to go. When this road arrives here, it is equal to the end. If you walk forward, you will definitely fall down with the water, and you will move backwards, and you will go upstream. I don’t know when it will end.
I was suddenly at a loss. It's not easy to get to this place. If I don't know anything, I just leave. I'm definitely not reconciled. I took such a big risk and came here just to explore the secrets. It's just that Quest is back to Quest, and now it's stuck in this place, it's hard to leave.
The gap on this rock is about three or four feet long. I want to move my steps. The cat moved its waist to another position to observe, and moved quietly to the side for about one and a half feet, before it settled on the heel, suddenly, I saw the edge of the crack and suddenly put a hand on it.
This must be a human hand, and it is a living human hand. The owner of this hand climbed up from below, maybe he didn't expect someone hiding in this gap.
I dared not move at once, and hurriedly shrank back. But the space of the crack is only so big, there is no hiding place behind, when I was irritated, the owner of that hand pushed his head up.
As soon as he came up, I immediately saw a black face, and it was very thin, like a farmer who has been working in the field for years on the riverbank.
This man is about forty years old, which is exactly the time when he is full of energy and energy in his life. However, this man looks a little sluggish and a little tired. After all, it takes a lot of effort to climb here from below.
As soon as he poked his head out, he must have seen me too. The man was shocked, but he soon recovered his calmness and whispered, "When did you escape?"
"Just..." I didn't know how to pick up the other party, so I panicked.
"Just escape, just escape..." The man tried harder, trying to climb up. I saw that he was not hostile to me, and listening to his tone, he escaped from this place, at least not embarrassing me, I went over and grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
After the man came up, he shook the drops of water on his head and said, "My brother, thank you."
"You're welcome." I shook my head and said, "Brother, you have a lot of energy to climb up from below."
"You also climbed up from below." The man smiled bitterly and said: "There is no other way, I just try it. In this place, I really can't live anymore and I'm homesick. People say it's better to die. Lai is alive, but I want to fight now. If I can escape, I can escape. If I can't escape, then... Then die..."
"Just like you said, it's better to die than to live. As long as you live, you are not afraid of no hope."
"Brother, it looks like you have just arrived here not long ago." The man smiled bitterly again, his face full of bitterness: "Which person here doesn't think like you, but who can wait until the day you go back?"
"I just came here and I don't know anything." After listening to this person, I felt that he should have been here for a long time, so I wanted to chat with him to see the specific situation: "Brother, Where are you from?"
"Elm Camp, have you heard of this place?" The man sat down and said, "Specially produced incense for use. There was a famine in the past few years. The people didn't eat it. They ate elm bark. Many people died, and many died. The elm tree, when the elm tree dies, the raw materials for making incense are gone, and the life is very bitter."
This man was surnamed Liu. He used to make incense in the family, but after the elm tree died, his life would not go on anymore. Fortunately, there is a ferry to the south of Yushuying, and he usually finds work there.
Probably a few months ago, someone went to the ferry to find someone to work for, and they were paid very well. Old Liu followed that man with twenty or thirty coolies.
