Chapter 58 Wu Xie’s encounter ([-])
058 Chapter 58 Wu Xie’s experience ([-])

Wu Xie got up and moved around, and found that he was not seriously injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xie looked at the surrounding environment and found that the environment here was very special. It was a small crescent-shaped stone beach with a huge pool next to it. The stalactites on the top of the cave were as thick as legs and hung down into the water, like Like a pillar.There are caves of different sizes around the pool, both above and below the water, all of which are bottomless, with water from the underground river constantly pouring in and out.

Wu Xie said in surprise: "This is a typical underground lake in a karst cave. To form such a cave, it would take at least ten thousand years of gradual expansion and penetration to reach the current scale. The history of this cave has been far longer than that of human beings." It’s history, I didn’t expect there to be such a place in Tianmen Mountain.”

Lao Itch smiled: "Look at you, we are starting to popularize science again. Our current situation is not very good. All the equipment is gone, and we don't know where to go next. Look, there are so many branching roads here, it's like a maze. ."

Wu Xie said mysteriously: "Didn't you hear what they just said? To enter the ancient tomb, you have to pass through this section of the cave area. You must find the iron chain that leads the way. This iron chain is hidden under the water, and one end is in the secret." At the end of the road, the other section should be in this pool."

Lao Itch recalled: "The moment I fell from the top, I saw many stone figurines at the bottom of the water. It seemed that I really saw an iron chain lying across the water, but this iron chain was inserted directly into the turbulent current below the waterfall. Go."

Suddenly, Wu Xie smiled strangely and said to Lao Chu: "That's even more true. This ancient tomb may not have been built in our "yang world", but was hidden in the underworld." Suddenly two words popped out in surprise. :"hell!"

Lao Itch saw that he suddenly started talking and stammered: "You... you... what are you talking nonsense about? How could such a thing happen?"

Wu Xie shook his head and asked him: "Do you still remember the legend of the Huangquan Waterfall and the galloping mountains of Yin soldiers in the ancient Taoist priests of the Qing Dynasty? It seems that the waterfall we fell into just now was because of the underwater hot springs. , the water flow of the waterfall shows a strange yellow color, which is the so-called "Yellow Spring" waterfall. Only those who have been into the mountain and seen it can know about the waterfall, but the environment here is complex and not accessible to ordinary people. "

Lao Itch thought for a while, then suddenly realized something and said: "Fuck, are you saying that the legendary Feng Shui master from the Qing Dynasty could be our colleague?"

Wu Xie nodded and said: "Yes, legend says that the Huangquan Waterfall is a passage between the Yin and Yang worlds. After the iron chain leads to the waterfall, there must be a passage to the ancient tomb behind the waterfall. In this way, isn't the ancient tomb... In the underworld?"

Lao Itch looked grim and said, "No way, don't scare me. If there is really an underworld in there, will we die if we go in?"

Wu Xie chuckled: "You really believe it? I think there are two possibilities. First, this may be a code word at the time, which means that this waterfall is the passage between the ancient tomb and the real world. Second, it is They saw some horrific scene in the cave behind the waterfall, which made them think that they were in the underworld. It seems that we need to be mentally prepared."

Lao Itch fell silent and asked him: "How about we just go back..."

Wu Xie shook his head and said, "It took a lot of effort to get here. It would be a pity not to go in and take a look." After saying that, Wu Xie patted the old itch and went to check the remaining equipment.They made several short torches with gloves and wooden sticks, put them into the waterproof layer of the backpack, then took off their clothes and stuffed them all into the bag.Since there was no light source, I decided to pile up the firewood, make the fire bigger, and swim over by the light of the fire.

It was so cold in this pool that after swimming for a while, Wu Xie felt that all the heat in his body had been sucked away. They swam for a while and saw that they were about to reach the turbulent area under the waterfall. Wu Xie thought that he must Sticking to the bottom of the pool, he suddenly jumped into the water, dived down, and swam desperately forward against the rapids. At this time, he saw a white light in front of him, which was the light of the waterproof flashlight he had lost.

With this light source, Wu Xie saw that there were no living creatures under the water, and he also saw a large number of neatly arranged stone figurines with human heads. Some of the human skull bones on these stone figurines had fallen off, and some were still firmly attached to the bones of the stone figurines. on the neck.

There seemed to be a stone platform in the middle of the pool. Seeing this, he suddenly saw a body wrapped in white cloth floating in the water above. It was so sudden that he was frightened and panicked. As a result, he was accidentally washed away. Entering the center of the turbulent flow above, the current made him do somersaults. Just when he was about to faint, his back hit something hard. The pain was so painful that he suddenly woke up. He quickly turned around and stretched out his hand. As soon as he grabbed it, it was the iron chain he was looking for.

Pulling the iron chain, he climbed towards the end of the iron chain with all his strength. In a few clicks, he reached the bottom of the waterfall. But at this time, Wu Xie's physical strength had reached its limit. The water of the waterfall pushed him towards the bottom of the pool, and he could not reach it even after climbing. He couldn't move anymore after two meters. Seeing this, Lao Itch rushed up from behind, grabbed his hand, and pulled him up. While they were pulling on the chain, they were kicking the stone men around. After a while, they were Surfaced.

They continued to fumble and swim in. Suddenly, they felt something swimming past two or three meters away. They suddenly became nervous and screamed in fright. They wondered what the thing was and instinctively rolled in the water. , he kicked the thing behind him, and then he suddenly came out of the water and called Lao Itchy.

Lao Itch turned on the lighter and took a look. He saw a pale human head emerging from the water behind him. He was looking at them with a ferocious expression. They were so frightened that they kicked back several times. Lao Itch panicked and wanted to take out his hand. The gun came out, but it couldn't be pulled out.

The man rolled his eyes, opened his mouth, and then rushed towards Wu Xie. Wu Xie yelled and wanted to run away, but the man's head suddenly pressed on him and hugged him tightly. Suddenly, he heard The man said clearly in his ear: "Help...life..."

Wu Xie was startled, and hurriedly straightened the man's head and pushed his hair away. He saw that this was Master Liang among the group of people. He thought to himself, I was so scared that I thought he was a water ghost.

Master Liang was exhausted and rolled his eyes. Wu Xie quickly turned behind him and pulled him up, lifting him out of the water while calling for Lao Itch to help.

After a while, they fell on the steps, gasping for air. Lao Chu took out the prepared torch, poured white wine on it, and lit it for lighting.

Wu Xie turned around and looked around, confirming that this was an altar. He thought to himself that the She people emphasized sacrifices but not burials. If this thing appeared, it seemed that it was indeed very close to the ancient tomb.

Both Wu Xie and Lao Chu couldn't help but wanted to go down and take a look right away, but Master Liang might not be trustworthy, and he was probably a sluggish person, so they didn't care about all that, they wanted to wake him up first, and then pick him up. Clothes and drinking wine, the old man gradually regained consciousness.Lao Itch said: "It's okay, don't be afraid. We are different from your group. We won't do anything to you. But we also have to ensure our own safety. Just be honest and we will take you with us." Keep going in, or I will destroy you directly, do you understand?"

Master Liang nodded again and opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.

Lao Itch was still worried, so he tied his hands.Unable to resist, Master Liang had no choice but to let them take the lead. The three of them came to the other side of the stone platform and walked down the stone steps. They walked tremblingly for a long time and finally reached the bottom of the stairs.

After passing the bare black stone beams, we reached the edge of the cliff.It was pitch black under the cliff. There was only a small torch and nothing could be seen clearly.

At this time, Master Liang weakly said to them: "You two, there is... there is a flare gun in my bag..."

This was of great help. Lao Itch hurriedly took out a flare gun from his bag. Wu Xie checked it and found that there was nothing wrong with the flare gun. He opened the safety and fired a "bang" at the top of the cliff. Send a flare.

In an instant, the entire cave appeared clearly in front of him.Looking down, all three people froze.

Wu Xie took a breath of cold air. When the weak Master Liang saw the situation below, he collapsed to the ground and almost fell. Lao Itch also turned pale and took a step back unconsciously.

A dozen feet below the cliff was a mass grave!Wu Xie thought to himself, no wonder those Feng Shui masters said they saw the underworld. No matter who saw this scene, they would definitely think it was the scene in hell...

But at the scene in front of him, Wu Xie suddenly felt that this place was very similar to the corpse cave in Shandong Guazi Temple, and he was afraid that there would also be things like rice dumplings for women in white here.

When the signal flare in the air had slid to the end of the arc, Wu Xie seemed to see a pit in the middle of the corpses at the moment the light went out.

At this time, Lao Itch said: "The burial pit I saw three years ago is similar to this one. There is also such an open space in the middle. The bronze branches that cannot be dug to the bottom are located in the middle of this pit."

Wu Xie said to them: "We still have to go and take a look...but this place where corpses are piled up has always been the most evil place. We have to be prepared to deal with the most troublesome things."

Wu Xie was thinking about how to get down and what to do if something happened when he went down, when he suddenly heard the sound of falling. It was Master Liang trying to escape.

Lao Itch immediately held him down with a gun and shouted: "If you take one more step back, I will break your legs and throw you down from here."

As soon as Master Liang heard his voice, he was so frightened that he ran away. Lao Chi fired a shot into the sky, and the thunderous sound of the gunshot echoed throughout the cave.

Master Liang was frightened by the gunfire and stopped. He turned around and said, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Isn't it okay if I don't run away?"

Lao Itch yelled: "Fuck you, no one will believe you. Come back and squat properly. If you run away again, I will take care of you!"

Master Liang came back dejectedly, squatted to the side, and said to them with a sad face: "I am just an ordinary intellectual, just following Uncle Tai to fool those two Cantonese people. You two are doing big business, so I will follow you." They will hold you back, so just let me go."

Seeing that he was still holding his backpack in his hand, Lao Itch couldn't help but became furious. He pointed the gun at him and said to him: "You old boy, you are playing tricks on me, right? You think we want to take you with us?" Ah, if you want us to let you go, we'll keep you, and we'll do whatever you fall in love with, whether you die or not."

Master Liang looked at the bag in embarrassment: "But this bag belongs to me... A gentleman is a gentleman..." Lao Itch raised the gun in his hand and said: "I am not a gentleman, I am a beast, don't follow me Be reasonable."

Wu Xie felt that this old man was not simple, so he said to Master Liang: "Our situation is not clear yet. If you leave alone, even if you are given a full set of equipment and you have no experience, you will not be able to get out. How about this, you go down with us and take a look." Look, if there is something good, we will give you whatever old man Tai will give you. If the three of us act together, the chance of survival will be higher. You see, this place is full of evil. If you encounter a lonely ghost, no one will save you. Can’t help you.”

Unexpectedly, Master Liang was still a stranger, so he fell in love with them.

Wu Xie felt that it was getting late, so he decided that everyone should go back to the altar to rest and replenish their strength before moving forward.
