Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 95 Water Monster
When it comes to divination and hexagrams, you don't stick to one thing, and there will be secrets wherever you think about it.Picking up some small stones on the ground, and throwing them on the ground again, the timing is full.Su Xiaoxi also came over to look at the gravel on the ground, and then looked at me with a puzzled expression, "This counts? What does this mean?"

"Kan is fierce, Gen is dead." I said these words with a frown, "Kan refers to water, and Gen refers to mountains."

"Doesn't that mean that Sun Fuyuan's waterway is very dangerous, and we are going to die if we go to the mountain rock system?" Su Xiaoxi became anxious when he heard it, "Then we should hurry up and follow them. Although it is a bit dangerous, but It's much better than a dead end."

"No, listen to me," I said, "this hexagram doesn't explain our two groups separately. It has an effect on both of us. Take Ling Xue and the others as an example, we are in the mountains now, whether it is The rock system or the underground river can actually be regarded as Gen. Then this hexagram is for them—staying in the mountains will undoubtedly lead to death, and taking water can lead to survival in danger.”

"That means they have a chance to leave?" Su Xiaoxi said excitedly, "How does that explain it to us?"

"The hexagram image is a secret, and ordinary people can't understand its profound meaning at all, they can only have a rough guess." I said, "This hexagram image, my understanding is to survive death. The cathode is yang, and the anode is yin. The limit of death It is the way of life. Then the hurdles produce earthquakes, the earthquakes produce Li, and the Li produces Gen. There needs to be a waterway as a breakthrough, and then trigger the earthquake-li-finally bring Gen’s death to the extreme, which is our way of life.”

"I don't understand, just tell us where we should go now, should we pick a crevice in the mountain that is relatively humid?" Su Xiaoxi asked, rubbing his temples when he heard the clouds and mist.

"No, it's not that superficial, the hurdle is due north, we should go north." I said, Su Xiaoxi frowned again.

"The compass has been lost a long time ago, how can it be possible to tell the difference between southeast and north now?"

"That's true north." I smiled and pointed in one direction, and sure enough, I saw a wide crack in the mountain over there.

"Oh my God, are you a pigeon? You can tell the difference between south, east and north." Su Xiaoxi exclaimed.

"This can be regarded as one of my talents. I have a strong sense of direction. There is a compass in my heart. Every time there is a change in direction, the compass in my heart will adjust accordingly." I said, and there was no other way after that. With the words, we walked into this crack with our equipment on our backs.I don't know whether it is the correct direction or luck that the fortune-telling really calculated. The rock system we walked was not as narrow as imagined.Slightly wider than my shoulders, Su Xiaoxi's petite figure is not a hindrance.

This process was actually very boring. The two walked one after the other in almost absolute darkness, which was so dull that it was almost suffocating.We also don't have the extra physical energy to talk and chat.I walked like this for five or six hours, and then I heard Su Xiaoxi call me to a stop.I thought she was tired and wanted to take a rest, but Su Xiaoxi looked at me worriedly and said, "Zhao Jue, that's not right, we - our position is declining."

After hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, and I looked at the pressure gauge. We have now dropped more than 50 meters than before.Could it be that my divination is wrong, we are now on a road of no return.Looking back at Su Xiaoxi, she was already on the verge of collapse. She didn't have the blind trust that Ling Xue had in me, and she was more likely to collapse at this time.

"Now—what should I do now?" Su Xiaoxi was already asking me in a trembling voice.I just wanted to say that I had to go back and choose a new path.Ears moved slightly, and suddenly heard a strange sound.I hurriedly stopped Su Xiaoxi and listened carefully, the sound of water!It's the sound of running water!It must be far away from us, but I can be sure that it is definitely the sound of running water.

"There's the sound of water in front! Go another mile and have a look. According to the hexagram, there's nothing wrong with it." I said and hurriedly pulled Su Xiaoxi to run forward.Sure enough, after a while, the sound of running water increased, and after squeezing through a narrow passage, it suddenly became clear.Then the faint light of the smokeless stove, and in front of us was a rushing underground river.Although it is not the expected tunnel, if we collect it according to the hexagram, we are indeed proceeding according to the hexagram.Looking up suddenly, I had a very strange feeling, it was the wind!There is wind flow, which probably means that there is an exit leading to the outside!

It was obvious that Su Xiaoxi also felt the flow of the wind, and was suddenly excited, "Oh my god, it's the wind! Zhao Jue, your calculations are too accurate! We really came out!"

"Don't get too excited, we're still 350 meters underground. There's still a long way to go." I said, and after a brief moment of excitement, I became a little suspicious. The hexagram said it's not so easy to leave .Could it be that I read it wrong?Just when I was distracted, a strong sense of danger suddenly appeared.I subconsciously looked at Su Xiaoxi, and saw a wave of water suddenly exploded in the water beside her, and a huge monster poked its head out of the water.In a flash, Su Xiaoxi was swept into the water!
I reacted quickly, rushed over and grabbed Su Xiaoxi's hand in one step.Immediately afterwards, I felt a huge force coming.I was also swept into the water all of a sudden.Fortunately, I kept holding on to Su Xiaoxi's hand tightly, so I wasn't thrown off.But this monster rolled us into the water at once.I subconsciously thought it was a large water snake, but if it was a water snake, it would not roll us up, but would go straight down.But if it weren't for snakes, I really can't think of anything more than 300 meters underground that can pull us into the water in such a rolling posture.

The strong sense of suffocation prevented me from thinking too much. The dagger was already used by Sun Fuyuan to deal with Zhou Han when he was in the ancient tomb.Suddenly there was another huge burst of force, and Su Xiaoxi and I were suddenly lifted up.After rushing out of the water, I had no time to do more resistance, I just took a big mouthful of air.It's like riding a roller coaster.The two of us were suddenly thrown back again, and this time we hit the rock wall on one side directly.

I was immediately pretended to be all kinds of meat and eight vegetables, but this is not only the most terrible thing.All of a sudden, the smokeless stove in my hand was also hit on the rock wall.There was a click, and it was smashed to pieces immediately.However, it did not suddenly become dark as I imagined. On the contrary, the kerosene inside spilled out, forming a small sea of ​​flames.In the blink of an eye, the environment we are in is surprisingly bright.

It was at this moment that I was surprised to find that what grabbed us was a tentacle, which was as thick as a bucket, and only a dozen meters above the surface of the water.The next moment, the fleshy tentacles seemed to be burned by the flames, and we were thrown out with a flick of our hands.Fortunately, it was thrown into the water, and I choked on a few mouthfuls of water, but I didn't get hurt.So far I haven't let go of Su Xiaoxi's hand, and now that I'm out of trouble, I hurriedly dragged her to the shore.Then there was the fire behind me, and after landing on the shore, I wanted to pull Su Xiaoxi out of here as soon as possible.

But I heard Su Xiaoxi scream, and when I looked back, I was startled by Su Xiaoxi's appearance.There is nothing wrong with her upper body, but her legs have been twisted in a strange shape.It is easy to imagine what kind of crumbs the bones inside have become.The strength of that tentacle just now was astonishing, it actually strangled Su Xiaoxi's legs immediately.

Su Xiaoxi collapsed on the ground, screaming in horror.Especially when he looked down and saw his legs, he screamed almost to the point of collapse.I think she also has a good idea of ​​what it means to be hurt like this in this environment.Su Xiaoxi threw herself onto me and hugged me tightly, "Zhao Jue, help me! Please help me! I don't want to die here! Please!" Please help me-"
