Chapter 56 Wu Xie’s encounter ([-])
056 Chapter 56 Wu Xie’s experience ([-])

Wu Xie endured the disgusting stench and continued to rummage through the big fish's stomach. Finally, he found their backpacks that had been swallowed by the fish. The contents had been mixed with his gastric juices and other ingested things. Together, we cleaned and put away those things that we really couldn't give up, and those that had merged with the gastric juices of the big fish and had to give up. Although their dry food was well wrapped in plastic paper, they really couldn't pass the test in their hearts. Why? He couldn't convince himself to eat them, so he just threw them aside.

Suddenly, he found a dark object in a mass of paste. It was an ugly, homemade pistol modified from a small-caliber double-barreled shotgun. Lao Itch said to him that it was called "Pai Zi Lao". .It is a long barrel cut into a pistol shape. The two barrels can be fired twice, but the cartridge case cannot be ejected by itself. After firing, you have to take out the empty cartridge case like loading a bullet. It is very inconvenient to shoot at close range. Its power against small beasts with little fighting power is still amazing, but if it exceeds 20 meters, it can't even kill a dog.

Wu Xie opened the barrel of the gun and saw that there were two shotgun bullets inside. There was also an iron box containing bullets under the barrel. There were four blue, four red and eight bullets in it. He didn't know what type they were.

I thought to myself that although the practicality is not strong, a gun is still a good thing in a place like this. It can still be used to save lives in emergencies, but there are too few bullets.

Wu Xie looked at the fish again. There were still some tiny iron sand bullet holes. The damage was too small and not fatal. However, because the fish was injured, they were able to escape.

They also reached the end of the stone path. Wu Xie was wondering. Both ends of such a long stone path were closed. Could it be that the entrance was underwater? He walked into the stone room at the end and looked around inside, but found nothing. Finally, The two of them gathered around the sarcophagus.

The coffin lid had a gap as wide as an arm exposed. Lao Chi put his eyes to the gap in the coffin lid, shined a flashlight on it and said to Wu Xie, "Look, there seems to be something in here. Come here quickly."

Wu Xie took a look from a distance, and sure enough, looking through the gap in the coffin, there was a black shadow lying inside.Lao Itch wanted to put his flashlight into the gap in the coffin to take a closer look, but the flashlight head they brought was too big, and he couldn't insert it even after trying for a long time.
Lao Itch suggested opening the coffin to take a look, but Wu Xie really had no confidence in himself and always felt an ominous premonition. Before he finished speaking, his hands suddenly felt cold. When he lowered his head, he saw a dry and pale hand. At some point, he stretched out from the gap in the coffin lid and grabbed his wrist.

He was so frightened that he immediately wanted to pull his arm back, but the thing inside was pulling him in. In an instant, Wu Xie was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. He reached out and took out the racket, but before he could aim at that hand, there was a sudden burst from behind. Chaos, followed by something unknown, suddenly twisted his hand holding the gun back.

Wu Xie was horrified, yelling and struggling at the same time. Unexpectedly, the corpse hand was thrown away, and Wu Xie kicked on the sarcophagus, throwing everything behind him together with him. He instantly knew that It was a person. The two of them fell to the ground together and rolled twice. Wu Xie jumped up as soon as he turned over. He waved his hand and was about to fire a shot. Unexpectedly, before he could see who was being attacked, there was a "boom". He was hit hard on the back of the head, and his eyes went black.

After waking up, he found that he and Lao Itchi were both tied up by Wu Hua Da. The group of people who attacked them were the group of people they met on the road. The corpse hand that was as white as a dead man and covered with dry wrinkles just now belonged to Uncle Tai. This man had been poisoned by corpse poison. Thinking about the panic just now, Wu Xie felt that he was so stupid that he let someone do something!
Uncle Tai took out the coffin, squatted on the ground, lit a cigarette, and looked at them. He didn't say anything for a long time. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he said a few words to the few people around him in their dialect. He looked at the two of them with strange eyes, and both nodded. Wu Xie always felt that there was a conspiracy.

They found the secret door under the coffin bed based on Boss Li's map, but they didn't dare to go down easily. They just sent two experimental mice to the door for free. They caught them now just to let them go to the mine.

They pointed their guns at Wu Xie. Uncle Tai patted his head, handed him a whistle, and said to him: "When you get to the bottom, just blow it. If you can't hear any sound in half an hour, kill him." Your buddy.”

Wu Xie was very worried. He was afraid that there was really a mechanism down there, but Lao Itch winked at him and said softly: "It's okay, just go down." Wu Xie was vague in his heart, thinking, you haven't been there before. Well, how do you know it's okay... But I had no choice but to take a deep breath and walk on with courage.

Although it was dark and humid down here, with the sound of water and a strange smell, fortunately it was calm along the way and there were no mechanisms. We walked for more than 20 minutes. I was afraid that the sound would not be carried if I walked further, so I picked up the whistle and blew it. He stood up, and soon, a whistle echoed from above.

He continued to walk down, and finally walked out of the cave entrance, and a very wide river appeared in front of him. Wu Xie observed it and found that it should be a rock vein, like the blood vessels of the mountain. He looked at both sides again and found that both sides The underground river channel seems to be shrinking, and its width gradually becomes smaller.

Wu Xie turned around and saw them lining up in a line, walking out of the cave one by one. Only then did he notice that there were five of them when they came, but now there was one less... He thought to himself, I'm afraid they had a bad start before, and as soon as they entered , that Boss Li was eaten by Zheluo Salmon. The head and stumps they saw were probably that Boss Li's.

Uncle Tai glanced at Boss Wang and asked: "Boss Wang, where should I go now? Is it written on your precious map?"

Boss Wang flipped through his notebook and said: "The map says that the last time they came to visit the mausoleum, they set up two iron locks underwater. If you keep touching the iron locks, you can reach the entrance of the underground palace!"

That Ermazi frightened Zheluo Salmon so much that he no longer dared to go into the water. Master Liang touched the water and said to him: "It's okay. The water here is so hot. There must be a hot spring mouth below. There will definitely not be any fish. If there are, they are already cooked. , Er Mazi, you think too much."

Er Mazi grinned and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Master Liang patted him on the shoulder and was about to say something when suddenly a huge wave exploded in the water behind Er Mazi. Almost instantly, they were rushed into the water and soaked to the skin.Wu Xie turned the flashlight back in panic and saw a column of water rushing out of the water and hitting the roof of the cave. The scalding water turned into rain and fell down.

Master Liang turned pale with fright and sat in the water trembling. Uncle Tai had seen the wind and waves after all. When he stood up, he had already pulled out the gun with one hand and shouted at Master Liang: "What the hell is this?" Toy!"

For a moment, they were in a panic and they were making random guesses. At this time, Er Mazi suddenly fluttered a few times and came out of the water. After walking a few steps, he fell into the water, his whole body red and motionless.Uncle Tai didn't know what happened, so he kicked Wu Xie hard, pointed a gun at him, and asked him to pull Er Mazi back.

Wu Xie had no choice, so he had no choice but to pull the person away. The water sprayed on the roof of the cave was pouring down like rain. When it touched his body, he had a blister. It was extremely hot. He hurriedly pulled up his clothes to cover it. With his other hand, he just As soon as I touched the pockmarked man, my hand shrank from the heat, and then I realized that he was already cooked.

At this time, there was suddenly another loud noise, and another stream of yellow gas sprayed out from the water pillar. Wu Xie couldn't see anything right!
Lao Itch yelled at him: "What the hell are you in a daze for? Hurry and dive into the water. This is an intermittent hot fountain. It will burn you to death without paying for it."

The water column grew bigger and bigger, and the scalding water began to pour down like a downpour. Wu Xie hurriedly ducked into the underground river. The rest of the people were so burned that they screamed like slaughtered pigs, and they also plunged into the water. .Wu Xie felt that he was like meat being cooked in a hot pot, and his whole body was on fire.I swam out a few meters and looked back. I saw that the water around the spring was boiling. The heat spread rapidly. Water vapor began to appear on almost the entire river surface. I thought to myself, if I don’t run away, I will be like Er Mazi later... …

They went down the river and found that there was a cliff in front of them. In a panic, Wu Xie dived into the water and reached out to grab the iron chain. Among the underwater iron chains, he found the body of the sketching student that the black tour guide had mentioned and checked it. There was nothing useful for me in the bag, but I lost my bag before, and now having a bag was better than nothing, so I carried it on my back.

The hot water merged into the underground river, and the water temperature was getting higher and higher. It was obviously not very useful to dive in now. Lao Itch, who had dived with him next to him, was so hot that he went crazy. He kicked Wu Xie hard and gave him He pointed to the waterfall, meaning that diving was useless and he was about to burn himself to death, so he might as well jump in and have a good time!Wu Xie glanced at the student's body and said to himself, buddy, I will go down to accompany you soon. Suddenly, a wave of hotter boiling water came in. He had to grit his teeth, let go, and rolled down the cliff along with the current.

In the hazy moment, Wu Xie found that he was in a coffin. He opened the coffin lid and sat in the coffin. He was even more surprised. He was back in the undersea tomb again, and he was wearing a diving suit. Everything in front of him was too real. He couldn't help but wonder. Believe it or not, he found a torch and lit it, took him out to the corridor, and walked towards the jade gate that glowed with fire.

At the door, he heard a sound coming from inside the door. When he put his ear against the door, he heard a cough.

Then, a person said, "What should I do? Can't I open the coffin?" This voice sounded extremely familiar.

A female voice followed and said: "San Sheng said not to touch things here for the time being, so we should listen to him." The tone sounded like she was embarrassed.

Three provinces?Wu Sansheng?Wu Xie was stunned. Suddenly he remembered that the first person to speak was Men Youping, and they also mentioned Uncle San. He continued to listen and heard a female voice saying: "Wu Sansheng is still sleeping now. Let’s just open it and take a look, what does it matter? I’m on Xiao Zhang’s side.”

Wu Xie was confused, so he thought about lying down in the crack of the door to see who was talking inside. He looked in through the crack in the door and saw the back of a woman wearing the same diving suit as himself. She had a petite figure and combed hair. Wearing a big braid.

At this time, a fourth voice was heard saying: "What should I do about Qi Yu? This kid is really good at playing. I don't know where he went. Should we just leave him here?"

When Wu Xie heard the name Qi Yu, he always felt that it was very familiar. This person was in the list of his uncle's notes, but after thinking about it, it was wrong. Qi Yu, this name is not as simple as familiarity. It seems that he heard it often. Where did he hear it? There is a very special, indescribable feeling in my heart.

At this time, the woman in the crack of the door moved a step to make room. He saw Mengyoubo standing next to a black coffin, holding a pry bar in his hand and hesitating, and then another woman Came into his sight.When I saw this, I couldn’t help but be surprised, Oh my God!This person...this person turned out to be Wen Jin!He was so shocked that he almost threw the torch in his hand.Although I have never met Wen Jin in person, there are many photos of her in my third uncle's house and I can often see them, so that's absolutely true.

But this is impossible... The doubts in my heart have reached the extreme, and I almost want to open the door and go in. At this moment, another strange male voice says: "This undersea tomb is so big, it is not easy for us to find him. I think it’s better to forget it. Let’s carve marks along the road. When he sees it, he will naturally follow us. Xiao Zhang, why don’t you do it.”

Menyoupin nodded, raised the crowbar, and was about to strike. At this moment, a roaring sound of water suddenly came from the side room on the left. The man asked: "What's the sound? It seems to be coming from next door." of!"

"Let's go and have a look!" Menyouping put down the pry bar and ran towards the door. Wu Xie quickly turned around and hid in the side room on the right. He put the torch on the ground and stamped it out. The group of them ran out. The palace, rushed into the jade gate on the side, and then a woman screamed: "Look, there is a pool here!"

He hid behind the door and wanted to relight the torch. At this time, a man appeared in sight holding a torch.The man walked down from the overpass on the corridor and secretly hid behind the jade door of the left wing. He looked inside and suddenly found that it was the third uncle in his youth. His expression seemed very annoyed and his brows were furrowed. .

After a while, the voices of Zhang Qiling and others gradually faded away, and Wu Xie thought that they must be walking up the spiral staircase into the pool.I saw the third uncle blowing out the fire seal and ducking into the jade gate. At that moment, he didn't care whether what he saw in front of him was true or false. He just wanted to follow him and then pressed against the door of the left wing, wanting to peek in secretly. Look, suddenly there was a flash in front of my eyes, and the third uncle suddenly walked out of the door again, strangled his neck, and said softly: "It turns out you are following me!" After saying that, his hand suddenly tightened and held him tightly. of the throat.

In desperation, Wu Xie wanted to shout: "Uncle San! I am your nephew!" But he couldn't scream, so he had to try hard to break his hand, trying to open his fingers, when he suddenly heard a voice Said: "Old Wu, wake up, are you having a nightmare?"

Wu Xie woke up immediately. Wu Xie smiled bitterly, touched his neck and sat up. It turned out to be a dream...

Turning around, I found that I was lying on a stone beach with a pool next to it. Although I couldn't see the waterfall, the roar of the waterfall in the distance was very loud, and there was a bonfire on the stone beach.

Lao Itch was supporting him and asked: "Wu...Wu Xie, are you okay?

Wu Xie waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I had a dream." Then he pinched the bridge of his nose hard, feeling strange. This dream was so strange, but yet so real...

Lao Itch handed him the kettle: "Drink...drink some water." Wu Xie took the kettle and took a sip of water, looked around and asked, "Where is this place? What's wrong with me?"

Lao Itch said: "This is the edge of the pool under the waterfall. The waterfall is right there. You just fell... and fell unconscious when you fell into the water. I held you tightly so that you didn't get into trouble under the waterfall. You really have to thank me for being swept under the water, I don’t have the energy to feed now."

Wu Xie smiled and said to him: "Fuck you." After saying that, he looked at the shoal. There were many stranded branches and debris. Lao Itch had dragged them up to dry. The bonfire was lit with these things.This pool was so cold that if it hadn't been for this bonfire, I might have frozen to death.
