The four of them watched Old Feng pass by them with his hands behind his back and disappear into the passage ahead.
"He's looking at me, right? Hey, Uncle Feng, please speak clearly."
Wang Qiang shouted and chased after him, but was pulled back by Lin Yi.
"Stop chasing us. Uncle Feng is right. He also knows what we are thinking. If it comes to a certain situation, that guy in Sunglasses will definitely dare to kill us.
We will definitely not harm anyone unless we have to. He is here to remind us. "
"Who said that, my brother is also living a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Whoever dares to show off his hair in front of me, I will let him go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife."
Wang Qiang scratched his neck and pretended to have a fierce expression.
"Okay, okay, if you have the energy, let's save the chickens and sheep for the New Year. Let's go!"
Lin Yi glanced back behind him, sighed softly, and led the people forward to continue walking.
This passage is hidden in the middle of the mountain and is in the shape of a "herringbone". It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The road under the feet is also smooth. The searchlight in front has been flashing. Lin Yi and the others are following them, marching in this passage. among.
Talking about the man in sunglasses unlocking the thangka mechanism on the wall just now, everyone was still full of doubts.
"Which of you knows what the trick Sunglasses did just now? Isn't it too evil?"
"I have also thought about it all the way, and I feel that it has a lot to do with sacrifice."
"The Feng family is good at studying various secret arts. The purpose of their ancestors' initial fight was to collect various cinnabar books and ancient texts. It is not uncommon to master some weird crafts.
I'm not very interested in what this guy can do, but I'm more and more interested in his true purpose. "
Lin Yi analyzed in a low voice.
"Brother is right. When we first lured him to the bait, we thought he was a stick like Feng Zhennan. We didn't expect that this guy was a ruthless person with dark hands and deep pockets.
According to what he said, it's not easy for him to secretly stumble us. Why did he follow us to this ancient tomb? "
"What other reasons could there be? Didn't I say it before? We are using each other, we use him, and he also wants to use us. Don't you think about it, if it weren't for Lao Lin, they would have been able to break the mechanism of the 'Nine Palaces and Bagua Diagram'?
Before I came in just now, I divined a hexagram, which was the 'Meng hexagram'.
The mountains and rivers are covered with mountains, gen is the mountain, ridge is the spring, and the spring comes from the foot of the mountain. When the spring water begins to flow out of the mountain, it will gradually merge into a river, just like a child gradually begins to awaken, and there are dangers at the bottom of the mountain. Because of the danger, it stops moving forward, so it is ignorant. In the early stages of the development of things, it is bound to be ignorant, and education is a top priority.
Either we give lessons to others, or they give lessons to us. It depends on who is enlightened first and who wakes up first. "
"Meng Gua."
Lin Yi muttered softly.
The hexagram is just as Wang Qiang explained, but as for its deep meaning, it is not yet clear for a while.
At this moment, the sound of water suddenly came from ahead.
Several people quickened their pace, and then they discovered that after walking out of this "herringbone" mountain crevice, a mountain lake actually appeared.
The area of the lake is not large, only about 200 square meters by visual inspection. The lake water is blue and clear, and you can see the bottom of the lake at a glance when you shine the light on it.
Although the area is small, the depth is unknown, and it is right on the path they must pass.
If you want to go to the opposite passage, you must pass through this lake.
Huzi and Guo Wenbin, the master and servant, are currently raising water from the lake to wash away the blood on their bodies.
Guo Wenbin had just been sprayed with stinky blood all over his head and face by the big pig-faced bat. He persisted and walked here. He finally calmed down and felt great when he saw this clear lake.
Huzi took a searchlight and shined it into the lake a few times. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, the two squatted by the lake and poured water to clean it.
Others were sitting by the water to rest and adjust their mood.
The thrilling scene just now left everyone with lingering fears.
"Damn, it's been less than an hour since we came in, and three people are already dead. What did ancestors think back then, hiding the gold here, and they didn't think about how to get this thing out?"
Ma Wenhai sat on a stone by the lake, lit a cigarette, and complained.
"But, then again, putting gold here is a damn insurance policy. Let alone three or five people coming in, even if there are hundreds or ten people coming in, it will still be useless if they don't have the ability to crack the mechanism.
Hey, Fatty, where did you guys go just now? Why didn't I see you perform? "
Upon hearing Ma Wenhai's provocation, Wang Qiang responded without hesitation:
"Who are you calling fat? Skinny monkey, who was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and howled like a ghost just now? Was it you? Besides, this mechanism was opened by the sunglasses. What does it have to do with you? It's your turn. Are you showing off here?"
"I invited the person, so I have the right to act like this. What's wrong? If you have the guts, you should show it off. If you don't accept it, just hold it in!"
"Don't be impatient, things will change. Later, your sunglasses daddy will encounter a problem and he won't be able to solve it, and you will cry for your father and mother."
The two of them are really matched up for each other.
No one wanted to suffer a loss, so the two argued for a long time. In the end, Lao Feng stepped forward as a peacemaker and persuaded them to leave.
"Huh, I finally got my life back!"
Guo Wenbin stood up from the lake and shook the water from his hair. White mist began to rise on his head.
"After escaping death, I have a different understanding of life. I used to feel that no amount of money was enough, but now, a handful of water can make me realize everything.
It's a pity for my two brothers, alas! "
He looked emotional and sad at the same time, and the word hypocrisy was almost written on his face.
"Why is there a lake in this mountain? It's really strange. And it seems that the lake water is still a little warm. It shouldn't be snow water melting from the ice line, right?"
"How should I put it? There are many reasons for the formation of lakes inside the mountains. Some are water seepage inside the mountains, or barrier lakes formed by previous flash floods. There are also artificial lakes caused by humans. Some are caused by crustal movements in ancient times. caused by terrain changes.
The Paleozoic geological movement hundreds of millions of years ago formed the Helan Mountains and affected the surrounding areas by uplifting and cracking them. The Cenozoic tectonic movement caused strong tension in the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains, forming a number of sedimentation-interrupted faults and fissures. "
Bai Lu analyzed the formation of this lake from a geographical perspective.
Not only Helan Mountain, Xingqing Prefecture also has very special geographical conditions. There is a saying that "half the city is lake water, half city is sand". Although it is located in the northwest, it has very rich water resources. There are many natural lakes in the city. This is among other things. Features that northwest cities do not have.
It seems not surprising that such a lake can appear in the mountains.
After Guo Wenbin finished expressing his emotion, he went to the corner and changed into dry clothes, and finally recovered completely.
Huzi was still polishing his dagger by the lake.
The place where the two men had just cleaned formed a cloud of blood mist, slowly blending into the lake water.
The man in sunglasses always had his hands folded in front of his chest, standing more than two meters away from the lake, seemingly staring at the lake. No one knew where the eyes behind the sunglasses were looking.
However, one of the questions he has to think about now is definitely how to get through this lake.
If you want to move forward and go to the opposite passage, you have to wade through the water. Lin Yi obviously understands this.
If you follow the edge of the lake, it is too steep and there is a risk of slipping into the water at any time.
Although the water in the lake is not very cold, in this winter, I didn’t bring too many spare clothes, so I would catch a cold if I wasn’t careful.
If you want to go across the lake
Lin Yi picked up a stone, tied it to an umbrella rope, and threw it down.
Just in response to that sentence, the clearer the lake, the deeper it is.
From the time it took for the stone to hit the bottom, it can be estimated that the depth of the lake is at least seven or eight meters.
"The water is at least seven or eight meters deep. You can give up the thought of holding up your trouser legs and trying to wade through it. Think of other ways!"
Lin Yi lifted the stone from the water, untied the rope, and threw it into the lake water, causing countless ripples.
If you want to get over here now, you either have to swim over, or you can only drive nails into the wall and climb over on the plank road. There is no other way.
After all, who would have thought that there could be a lake in this mountain?
"Brother Lin, be careful!"
The moment Lin Yi turned around, the lake suddenly began to churn, and a black figure quickly jumped out of the water and bit Lin Yi's back.
Bai Lu's reminder was very timely, and Wukong in Lin Yi's arms also gave an early warning.
He didn't even have time to look back. He kicked off his feet and rushed forward a few meters. He felt a gust of wind behind him rush to the back of his neck, and at the same time, warm lake water was sprinkled in.
After escaping to a safe area, the guy behind him seemed to have given up the chase.
Then there was another splash, and countless splashes of water rose up from the lake behind him. A huge black figure quickly dived into the water and slowly disappeared.
Almost everyone present broke into a cold sweat.
"What was that thing just now? Did you see it clearly?"
Lin Yi was sure that the danger was over and turned around to ask.
Everyone shook their heads.
"I saw a black shadow, it seemed like a fish!"
Bai Lu responded.
"I'm not sure, because the speed of that thing is so fast that I can't see it clearly."
"Fish? Are you sure it's a fish? Not a crocodile? Why do I think that guy has legs under his belly?"
After asking around, everyone present said that because the incident happened suddenly, they didn't see it clearly at all.
After the lake rolled, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the water. It couldn't hit it, and without fighting, it immediately concealed itself and dived underwater, completely disappearing.
The existence of such a large and powerful unknown species has cast a shadow on everyone's mind. (End of chapter)
