Xiao Yu stood on the rock wall, with scattered small bushes behind him. The rock here was a hard stone exposed from the mountain. No big trees could grow there, only a few small weeds growing randomly.
Xiaoyu looked at this pool. The rock wall was about five feet long and six feet high. It stood out abruptly and was formed against the rock behind it.
There were no fluctuations in the surface of the pool. Occasionally, there were a few wild ducks playing in the water. There was nothing strange about the entire pool.
Yu Liufei and Luo Weichang had already walked to Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu, why did you call us here? Did you find something wrong?" Yu Liufei asked Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu did not answer, but replied to Yu Liufei: "Brother Yu, you have listened to so many books in the teahouse, have you heard the story of the Double Ring Pool of Longyin Lake?"
Yu Liufei waved his hand and muttered: "How can this be? I have never heard of many storytellers. I just went to the teahouse with you a few times, and I have never heard of it more than once in my life."
"Hey, Brother Yu, you are much more enthusiastic than me every time you listen to a book. Why haven't you listened to it?" Xiaoyu asked.
"No, no, no, Xiaoyu, we were very poor when Master confiscated you as a disciple. How could I have spare money to study? The money I saved from picking millet and moving stones was not enough for Master to buy wine. How could I have that share? Why don't you go to the teahouse and listen to books? Don't embarrass me. If you have any questions, you'd better just tell me directly." Yu Liufei slapped his forehead and muttered in a low voice, "It's a good thing that I thought my pig brain was enlightened. .”
Luo Weichang listened to their conversation on the side, and immediately understood what Xiao Yu meant, and hurriedly replied: "Brother Xiao Yu, what you said is that there may be a double ring pond underneath?"
"Well, that's right!" Xiao Yu clapped her hands at Luo Weichang and praised, "Brother Luo understands! It seems you have been listening to books too!"
Luo Weichang smiled and replied: "When there is nothing in the village, I often go to the market and tea house to listen. Brother, I like this."
When Yu Liufei heard this, he patted Luo Weichang on the shoulder, took a look at this dark-skinned man with a square face who was quite strong when pinched, and chuckled: "Oh, brother, I'm just telling you why you have such an appetite for me. It turns out that you are a fellow soldier." What a man! Brother, I am also good at this. I just like to listen to those storytellers talking about everything. It’s wonderful!”
Luo Weichang smiled and said: "Brother Luo Feng, brother Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Yu Liufei pointed to the pool below and asked him: "Brother Luo, do you think this is also the kind of double-ring pool? What kind of double-ring method is it?"
Luo Feng held his waist knife and replied with a serious face: "There is a passage in the book "Exploring Flowers in the Mist of Zhou", there is a chapter about Longyin Lake Double Ring Pond, it says that the murderer is hiding on the cliff of Longyin Lake The meaning of the double-ringed pool is that there is an underground river in the mountain, and the river water overflows the river beach and the original low-lying area outside to form a pool.
The so-called double ring means that half of the water pool is outside and half of the water pool is under the rocks of the mountain, that is, inside the mountain. I think this is what brother Xiaoyu said! "
Xiaoyu nodded. At this time, he had already taken off half of his clothes, exposing his upper body, and then began to take off his pants.
While moving, he muttered: "So I said Brother Yu is smart. The sentence 'Could this 'ghost' really be able to go underground?' reminded me and made me doubt this pool. I checked this From the water pool at the mountain col, we can also see the ridge behind the mountain col. The commentary says, 'There may be a dragon where the mountain ridge meets'. The 'dragon' here means a cave. This statement means that there may be a cave under the ridge."
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he had stripped him down to only a pair of underwear. Xiao Yu had no intention of taking off any more, and turned to Yu Liufei and Luo Feng and said, "Brother Yu, wait for me here. I'll dive down and take a look. Here The water is clear, and I see that most of the swimming fish go under the rocks. You can take care of me here on the shore."
Luo Feng nodded, and Yu Liufei replied: "Okay, be careful. If there is an emergency, come up first."
After Xiaoyu nodded, he jumped into the water and dived.
Fortunately, under the cover of green mountains and green forests, the water in this pool is very clear. In addition, the sun has just risen, and the light falls on the pool. Swimming in it, you can still have a field of vision of several feet square.
After Xiaoyu took a deep breath on the surface of the water, he hugged the rugged cliff and dived down backwards.
At first, when the water was about ten feet deep, you could barely see the shrimps and fish in the water scattering in fright. When you dive deeper, Xiao Yu can no longer see anything. The water in the pool begins to become turbid, so you can only close your eyes and dive.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu's diving ability was not bad. He dived for about ten feet in one breath and was still able to hold on for a while. Xiaoyu closed his eyes and continued diving in the dark.
Sure enough, he felt a secret passage about two feet below. He closed his eyes and touched it carefully several times. He was sure that the secret passage was flat like a turtle. The high place was about the height of a person, and the flat place was only half the height of a person. , but no live water came out, Xiaoyu hurriedly got in with a sigh of relief, and swam about ten feet, but still couldn't get through.
Xiaoyu couldn't lift it up in one breath. After taking a sip of water, he hurriedly shut up and swam back. After a few flops, he turned around and swam out. He emerged from the water, holding on to the abrupt rocks near the water with one hand, breathing heavily. Angry, he touched his chest with his other hand, his face turned red as he choked on a sip of water.
Yu Liufei hurriedly lay down on the edge of the rock cliff, looked at Xiaoyu panting on the water a few feet below, and asked, "Xiaoyu, have you discovered anything?"
Xiaoyu nodded and said: "There is indeed a secret passage down there, but it's just a bit long. I haven't been able to dive through it yet. I'll take a break and then go down and have a look."
"Okay, brother Xiaoyu, be careful!" Luo Feng also lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down and shouted.
The spring sun was shining brightly, but it was not very hot, especially since the water in this pool was still a bit cold. Xiaoyu didn't care to stay for a while, and quickly took another deep breath and got in.
This time I didn’t need to explore anymore. I just touched the rock wall and drilled into the dark cave. After a few flops, I drilled about two feet and couldn’t touch the rock wall anymore. After floating up a few feet, I finally came out. When he reached the surface of the water, he opened his eyes, but couldn't see anything in the darkness. He took a breath, turned around and swam out.
After surfacing.
"It is indeed a double-ringed pool. It's just that it's too dark inside and you can't see anything. You have to find a way to bring a torch in to have a look." Xiaoyu wiped the water off his head and face at the bottom of the cliff and opened his mouth. He shouted to the two people above him.
Luo Feng replied: "Brother Xiaoyu, this is easy to handle. When I go back, I will call for some more people and bring more torches and oil paper. Wrap the torches in the oil paper and seal it with candle drops. Then you can bring it in waterproof. You first Come up here and let’s discuss it in the long term.”
Xiaoyu nodded, grabbed the protruding rock with his hand, climbed up a few steps, jumped up, and climbed up.
