the last priest

When Mochizuki and his party went down to the bottom of the ancient well, they were also shocked by the ancient relics excavated by the population. The old man Zhuo never thought that the water well that he had been drinking for so many years turned out to be like this. He was afraid that he would see those coffins How will you feel when you are with the bones?

After they were assembled, they set off towards the road that Cha Wenbin and the others had walked on. As long as they turned that corner, they would be incomparably shocked!

Mochizuki Kazuki was ecstatic, he thought he had finally taken a different path from his predecessors, and he was complacent about his decision. With a wave of his hand, a pair of people and horses drove forward, but he didn't know that there were tens of thousands of animals waiting for them. Corpse silkworms that have lost their leader and await revenge. 【y】. . . . .

Cha Wenbin naturally didn't know that he had already pioneered the way for others. The raft carried five people and continued to go retrograde along the slow current.

The guarded heart never dared to relax half a step along the way. This seemingly peaceful underground cave seemed to be full of unknown dangers all the time. The Seven Star Sword in his hand was always tightly held, and Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong were rowing the raft at any time. , also staring closely at the surface of the water, God knows if a big bug or a giant toad will pop out here.

At this time, half an hour had passed since they entered the tributary on the left. According to the current forward speed, they had only traveled five miles. The spotlights of the pilot lighting scattered all of a sudden, and a large space appeared in front of my eyes.

Cha Wenbin immediately shouted: "Be careful! There is something unusual ahead!"

Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong respectively supported the raft with wooden sticks to prevent it from moving with the river water, while Cha Wenbin stood at the front and carefully observed the situation in front of him with spotlights: this is a large pool, and the upstream water flow hits it. A vortex has formed here, as long as they pass through the current hole, they will enter this water area.

In the center of the vortex, there was something that attracted Cha Wenbin. A large piece of wood was spinning in circles with the water flow. Fortunately, the speed was not very fast. When Cha Wenbin took a closer look, it was actually a mouthful. coffin!

Why is there a coffin here?And it's made of wood?Knowing that this place has been uninhabited for a long time, even if the ordinary wooden coffins were washed down from the upper reaches, they would have rotted long ago. Except for the precious golden nanmu, no other wood can be soaked in water for thousands of years.

Zha Wenbin took out a level ruler from his pocket, which he usually carried with him when looking at Feng Shui. It could measure the slope, and he put it on the raft on the spot.

There was a bubble in the middle of the level ruler, and it moved to the bottom with a whoosh, which proved that the path they walked was always going up and retrograde, and the slope was not low.Zha Wenbin estimated the distance from the underground to the present. Judging from this slope, their current location is likely to be much higher than the village's ground level.

Chaozi supported the raft and asked, "Brother Wenbin? Did you find anything?"

Cha Wenbin looked at the coffin that was turning around. It seemed that if he wanted to pass here, he had to go around it. It was impossible to go back now. Since he chose this path, he had to follow it.

"It's nothing, it's just a coffin. When we row over later, stay away from it."

The water pool is a circle, and the surrounding stone walls are far away, and the light sweeps over it, but it is really hard to see the situation clearly.However, these three brothers are all courageous and have experienced the test of life and death. Zha Wenbin made a forward gesture, and the two of them each pushed their paddles towards the stone wall, and the raft slowly entered the pool. .

When we first entered, the raft moved along the periphery according to Cha Wenbin's previous instructions. Affected by the rotation of the current, Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong struggled to adjust the direction with wooden sticks and oars, and carefully stuck to the circle. On the stone wall.

Because the hydrological situation here is a vortex, so at this moment, they have changed to the direction of the current, and what the wooden stick can change is only to prevent the raft from hitting the rock wall.

Zha Wenbin carefully explored the water pool. The space here is the size of a football field, and the circle is very regular. There is nothing strange about it.

When walking halfway, Zhuo Xiong called out: "Look, there is still a coffin over there?"

Sure enough, there was a coffin spinning around where Zhuo Xiong's light irradiated.Cha Wenbin was very surprised, why didn't he find out that there was still a coffin?

He asked Chaozi to stabilize the raft, and stood on the raft to study the two coffins carefully.

These two coffins are almost identical in terms of shape, size, and material. One coffin is facing the entrance where they came in, and the other is facing the end where they went out. The two coffins are on the same straight line, so He looked from the entrance of the cave, and the coffin at the back was blocked by the front one. Since there was already a serious lack of light, the rear coffin was leaked.

From the perspective of distance, the two points where the two coffins are distributed are not far from their respective exit positions. If a horizontal line is drawn in the center of the pool and perpendicular to the straight line between the two points, the circle of the entire pool will be divided If it is two and a half months, the two coffins are just at the midpoint of their respective radii.

Cha Wenbin immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, and urged Chaozi to drive the raft out of the waters.In this gloomy space, two coffins appear out of thin air and dangle in front of your eyes, anyone will feel intrusive.

Fortunately, they saw quite a lot of coffins in this ghostly place during these days, so their legs would not be so frightened that their legs became weak. Speed ​​to the opposite exit.

Seeing that the distance from the exit was less than one meter, and the two coffins were also thrown behind him, half of Cha Wenbin's heart that was raised in his throat was relieved, as long as he took another step forward, it only took one step , you can leave here.

Many times, things backfire like this. When you are about to realize your own ideas, you make a 180-degree turn, but this turn is enough for the three of them to remember for a lifetime.

The raft originally moved forward with the current, but when it reached the exit, it naturally turned against the current. When Cha Wenbin found that Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong had been waving the oars for half a year, the raft not only failed to move forward, but went backwards again. His face began to turn slightly pale, and the coffin was only 20 meters away from them.

Chaozi has exhausted all his strength in this cold underground river, desperately rowing the oars, and he also feels that the position he is in now is not advancing but retreating, and there is a tendency to get farther and farther away from the hole. Suddenly got up and shouted: "Blind man, can you work harder?"

Zhuo Xiong is also in distress now, he can't lift his arms, the raft is still retreating, and while paddling the wooden stick in his hand, he said: "I've tried my best to paddle here, it seems Still not working hard! Brother Wen Bin, what do you think is going on here?"

As for Zha Wenbin, he was not idle at the moment, and was tinkering in the water with a big wooden stick in his hand. Seeing that the raft couldn't get out, he felt anxious, so he picked up a wooden raft. The stick joined the rowing ranks, panting and said: "The hydrology here is more complicated than we imagined, just work harder, as long as you get out of this hole." After speaking, he continued to wave. . . . . .

When half an hour passed, the three men were already exhausted and paralyzed on the raft, with only breath left in their mouths.The raft couldn't help but didn't take half a step forward, but retreated ten meters completely.It's not that they want to give up, but that they really have no strength right now.

Cha Wenbin gasped and said, "Take a rest first, and if you are exhausted, you will just play a few laps here. We will come back when we recover enough."

The raft floated along the water in the direction of the coffin, but it was still some distance away. Although Cha Wenbin lost his strength, his eyes were still good, and he kept watching the movement of the raft.

The raft carried five people along the direction of the water and drew an arc inconceivably outwards to bypass the coffin. When it reached the position of the coffin behind it, it changed direction again and turned inwards to draw another arc. The line went around the opening of the coffin they saw and returned to the original point!

When Chaozi and Zhuoxiong found that they were back again, they both struggled to get up from the raft. What's the matter, they came back after drifting around?

What really shocked Cha Wenbin was not that he had returned to the far point, but that the raft was following the line connecting the coffins in the middle, with an "S"-shaped trajectory, cleverly bypassing the two coffins before returning to the You must know that water has no form. In such a water area without wind and other factors, how can a piece of still wood make an "s" by itself!This is definitely beyond common sense!
