The boat was swaying, and after all, it was a bit reluctant to seat more than ten people at once.
There was no oar, but there was no need for an oar. As soon as the rope was untied, the boat floated slowly toward the center of the lake.
"I never expected that there would be such a big lake so deep underground."
"Worlds, full of wonders."
"Sister Xi, that little guy with green eyes showed us the way here. Will this boat take us to find Mr. and the others?"
Jiang Lingxi looked at the expectation on Chang Ning's face, smiled and nodded, "I think it's possible."
"Great, we can finally meet up with Mr. and the others."
Yun Yi was looking out of the boat when the light of the flashlight shone through. At first glance, he thought it was because he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Now he couldn't help himself: "Ah..."
Changning's words were interrupted by Yun Yi, "You..."
The 'what are you calling for' stuck in her throat immediately after she saw clearly the scene under her hands.
Jiang Lingxi naturally noticed it, "Hurry up!"
As soon as the three words were said, the boat tilted sharply with the people on board, and flew down the waterfall that suddenly appeared in front of it.
Yunyi's screams were still echoing in his ears, and the boat carried everyone together and landed in the pool under the waterfall with a "snap", causing huge waves.
The inside of the boat was immediately filled with water. The people who had just recovered from the shock abandoned the boat and jumped into the water without saying a word. They used the tools at hand to scoop out almost all the water in the boat, and then climbed up again. .
After doing all this, everyone was able to take stock of their surroundings.
Not far behind them was the waterfall they had just flown down with people and boats. In front of them was a towering black mountain wall, going up... it seemed to be pushing up the ground.
Jiang Lingxi was about to move her flashlight away from the bottom of the waterfall, but the flash of fire made her pause.
This time she adjusted the focus of the flashlight and shined it again. This time she not only saw the light of the fire, she also saw the person standing next to the fire.
Even though she was far away and couldn't see clearly what she looked like, her intuition told her that it was Shen Yunqing!
Really found it!
"Don't paddle forward, paddle towards the waterfall."
"Ah, but it's more dangerous over the waterfall!"
"The man is behind the waterfall."
Jiang Lingxi said as she shined a flashlight over it, and everyone looked in the direction of the flashlight light. When they looked at it, they saw fire and human figures.
Chang Ning suddenly became excited and asked, "Sir?"
"Well, it's him."
"Quick, row across quickly."
The closer you get to the waterfall, the greater the resistance.
Fortunately, when they were still some distance away from the waterfall, a rope was thrown from behind the waterfall, and Jiang Lingxi quickly caught it with quick eyes and hands.
Now there were people inside helping to pull it, and soon the boat docked under a huge rock.
Jiang Lingxi listened to the rumbling sound of water above her head, watched Shen Yunqing standing on the shore reaching out to her, stood up and handed over his hand.
A pulling force came, and she jumped forward. Under the action of two momentums in the same direction, she rushed directly into Shen Yunqing's arms.
Realizing that the man still wanted to hug her, she quickly pushed him out and raised her eyes to meet a pair of more astonished eyes, "I'm all wet."
Shen Yunqing laughed, "Quickly go in and warm yourself by the fire."
Others jumped ashore one after another.
Changning: "Sir."
Shen Yunqing nodded towards her, "Well done, it's been a hard journey."
Chang Ning immediately looked excited, waving his hands and shaking his head, "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's quite exciting to follow Sister Xi all the way here."
Yun Yi also looked over. He had heard the word 'sir' from Chang Ning so many times along the way. This was the first time he saw a real person.
And this real person... He considers himself to be a proud man of heaven, with good looks, and now he realizes what it means to feel ashamed.
"Shen, hello Mr. Shen, I am the living map, ah no, guide."
As for Xu Zhao and others who came up last, Shen Yunqing had met him once before and they nodded to each other.
The fire in the middle of the hall was burning brightly.
However, everyone who came in did not have time to warm themselves by the fire, and were shocked by the scene in the hall.
If nothing unexpected happened, this hall should be under the lake where they just drifted.
Who would have thought that there is such a magnificent hall located under that lake!
Jiang Lingxi took the towel from Shen Yunqing and went to the tent in the corner with Chang Ning to change into dry clothes.
Fortunately, the backpacks they were wearing were made of waterproof materials to protect them from the all-pervasive sand.
Even after being tossed in water for so long, everything inside was still dry.
After changing her clothes, she wiped her hair and came out of the tent, walked to the fire and sat down cross-legged.
The towel in my hand to wipe my hair was suddenly taken away from behind and replaced with a gentler wipe.
Jiang Lingxi looked back and felt happy to be served by someone after a busy day, "Why are you here by yourself and not aware of them?"
"Go to the dark hall to arrange it."
"Dark Palace?"
"This is the bright hall, and the dark hall is the main hall where Yin Chong and the others will enter."
"What's the point?"
The others listened to the conversation between the two, warming themselves by the fire while pretending to be attentive.
"If you enter through the right path, you will end up here, the Bright Palace. But if you enter through the reverse path, you will arrive at the opposite Dark Palace. The spatial layout of the two is almost exactly the same. You can imagine it as a mirror."
Everyone nodded.
"Almost?" Jiang Lingxi thought thoughtfully, "So, there are some differences? It shouldn't just be different names, right?"
"Yes, Wujue found something in the dark hall. We speculate that the purpose of Chang Cang Sect should be that thing."
Jiang Lingxi didn't ask what the thing was. No matter how good the description was, it was better to see it with her own eyes.
"How long have you been here?"
"Five days ago."
Jiang Lingxi counted the time and said, "Then I really have to thank that little guy with green eyes for leading the way."
If the other party hadn't led the way, it would have taken her about the same amount of time to find this place.
"But what is that little guy?"
"Fool."
"Is it a human?" This time, several exclamations sounded almost simultaneously.
Although they didn't see the whole face of the little guy clearly from beginning to end, just the green eyes and... he didn't look like a human being!
"Once human."
Jiang Lingxi took a breath, "How far have you explored this underground tomb now?"
"Almost ninety percent." Shen Yunqing said, putting the wet towel in his hand on a shelf nearby for drying. He stood up, walked to the petrified tree table, and picked up a few of the already passed pictures spread on it. The preliminary repair paper was handed to Jiang Lingxi, "There are three reasons why such a large tomb can be built here. The first one you should have seen before is the petrified tree that you passed when you came down. The second one is that this place is unique. The terrain, and the third thing is that it has an independent circulating water system.”
"But the real purpose of building this tomb is not for a certain person, but for something."
"What does Changcangmen want?"
"That's right!"
