When he heard Yu Huo mention the underwater stone gate, Zhang Tianshu was a little surprised. He only wanted to save this junior sect, so he pushed him down into the Dragon Transformation Pond, but he didn't want Yu Huo to notice the water. The next trick.
At this time, in addition to the accident, he also had some regrets about saving Yu Huo, because paper could not contain the fire, and it seemed that the secret originally hidden under the water could no longer be hidden.
"You kid... do you know what is behind this stone door?"
Seeing that Yu Huo was naked and his clothes were hanging on the branches, it was obvious that he had dived into the water and sneaked near the stone door, but he could not find the mechanism to open the stone door.
"Could it be a gold gem?"
Yu Huo has read a lot of novels about tomb robbers and finding gold, which all describe the burial objects of wealthy families. These priceless treasures are nothing more than what these tomb robbers want to get, and Yu Huo naturally thinks I took a look at the scene behind the underwater stone gate.
"You think so."
Zhang Tianshu picked up the wine bottle again, poured a large gulp of wine into his mouth, and then said: "There are things under the water of Hualong Pond that can kill you, including gold and jewelry."
Seeing that Zhang Tianshu was deliberately exaggerating, Yu Huo didn't take it seriously because he was diving underwater just now and didn't encounter any danger.
But what Zhang Tianshu said was not alarmist.
After all, some strange things about the Feathered Chicken Immortal and the mass graves have been circulating for a long time. It is difficult to determine whether they are true or false.
"Could it be that there is a real dragon under the water in Hualong Pond?"
Yu Huo made a joke, Zhang Tianshu had no time to answer him, and instead said: "If you don't give up, I can take you down to have a look, but there is one thing, the ugly words are ahead, life and death are destiny, wealth is in the sky, can you It’s up to you and me to make it out alive.”
Zhang Tianshu is a heinous old drunkard, but he is unambiguous when it comes to business. After explaining Yu Huo, he put down the basket for collecting herbs, took off his raincoat and straw hat, and only took his homemade shotgun and slung it on his back. Jumped into the water first.
Yu Huo had experienced life and death and endured the pain of six reincarnations, so how could he shrink back? Without hesitation, he jumped into the water.
When he dived seven or eight meters into the deep pool, he clearly felt the burden brought by the water pressure. Zhang Tianshu made a preparation gesture in the water.
Then he took out two silver needles and flicked them a few times in the place where the water plants were growing. Then the two silver needles shot in unison at the grinning mouths of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and the Dragon King of the South China Sea carved on the stone gate. He hit the bead in the dragon's mouth without leaning.
I only heard the silver needle colliding with the opera beads, making a harsh sound in the water. The two opera beads slipped almost simultaneously and fell into the dragon's mouth. At this moment, the moss-covered stone door was holding up against the huge water. Press, it actually opened.
"So this is the secret to opening the stone door, uncle, how did you know?"
Zhang Tianshu did not answer Yu Huo's question and angrily said: "Stop talking nonsense and come in quickly."
The moment the stone door is opened, a large amount of water pours into the door due to the water pressure. If water soaks in for a long time, it is estimated that there will be nothing inside. Therefore, after breaking the door, you must close it as soon as possible to prevent the door from being let in. The water outside has been flowing into the inside of the stone door.
After knowing the reason, Yu Huo didn't dare to delay for a moment after hearing Zhang Tianshu's scolding, and hurriedly passed through the stone door and swam in.
The moment I walked in, I was shocked again. It turned out that there was indeed a cave behind this stone door. Although it was a bit dark inside, it was not humid. On the contrary, it was so dry that it would make rhinitis worse.
Moreover, a drainage ditch and a drainage well are set up at the entrance of the stone door. The purpose is to allow the water coming in when the stone door is wide open to be drained along the drainage ditch to the drainage well, and then overflow through the drainage well, so that the water coming in when the door is opened can be smoothly discharged. Exhausted, you can see the ingenuity and ingenuity of the design.
In particular, the design of the drainage ditch shows an exquisite design of nine twists and turns, which allows the rushing water to flow from fast to slow in the curved drainage ditch and slowly drain into the drainage well. This is obviously the designer's intention. And for that.
Perhaps this is the reason why the original designers deliberately considered this aspect, because only a dry environment can preserve things that they want to preserve permanently. So what are the craftsmen trying so hard to preserve?
This question may also be bothering Zhang Tianshu. Looking at him skillfully closing the stone door, it is obvious that this is not the first time he has entered, but he has not told the real situation, or this is the real purpose of his seclusion here.
The moment Zhang Tianshu closed the stone door, Yu Huo was surprised to find that the dragon king of the east sea and the dragon king of the south sea were carved on the outside of the stone door, while the dragon king of the west sea and the dragon king of the north sea were carved on the inside of the stone door.
The dragon kings of the four seas gathered here, answering Yu Huo's previous question, and there are two dragon balls inside and outside. It seems that the mechanisms for going out and coming in are the same, which shows the good intentions of the designer.
However, when Yu Huo was admiring the designer's ingenuity, a sound of "puff, plop, clatter" came from behind, which frightened Yu Huo and hid behind Zhang Tianshu unconsciously.
With the help of the ever-burning lamp in the cave, Zhang Tianshu touched a torch and quickly lit it. The bright light was finally able to illuminate the front. Only then did he realize that what was right in front of him was a cobra with its head held high and its chest raised.
From time to time it spits out its long snake tongue, clearly declaring its sovereignty.
"Uncle, is this what you said can kill people underwater?"
"This is just the beginning."
No, this stone door is the only entrance, so how could a snake come in? How could it survive in this cave? From the perspective of the food chain, is it possible that there are mice in here?
Maybe there is another exit in some dark corner.
Yu Huo had no time to think of other exits, because he should have a chance of winning against the snake in front of him, but suddenly the sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff" came from all directions.
Yu Huo suddenly felt that something was wrong. With the flickering light of the torch, he took a closer look. What was waiting for them was not one snake, but countless snakes, like hungry children, crawling out of the cliffs and gaps. .
Countless snakes are swaying, making people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Uncle, if you don't know how to come in, you should explain it here."
Only then did Yu Huo understand why Zhang Tianshu had said ugly things before going into the water. It turned out that this place was indeed more dangerous than imagined, and it was very dangerous.
Facing more and more cobras, Yu Huo was a little scared. He was not afraid of the dead, but he was afraid of these guys who spit out snake bites.
Yu Huo held his breath. He took out a few silver needles from the bag on his waist as was his professional habit, and was about to fight the snake. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianshu pressed Yu Huo's needle-touching hand and made a virtual gesture. ' gesture, then pointed to a passage inside and whispered: "These snakes are certainly scary, but they don't attack people easily, and their eyesight is very poor. As long as they remove their alert, we will be safe."
Zhang Tianshu's understanding of snakes is no different from his understanding of wild wolves. Snakes have very poor eyesight and can hardly see clearly. Zhang Tianshu understands this and takes advantage of it.
When Zhang Tianshu finished saying this, he motioned for Yu Huo to follow him closely, because it was not his first time here and he knew the situation here quite well, especially the terrain structure and the forks of the road. A living map has formed in my mind.
Zhang Tianshu spent so much time searching for it, it is by no means as simple as living in seclusion here and staying away from the world. Perhaps there is a shocking secret hidden in it that the world does not know.
Following Zhang Tianshu, he ran in the narrow dark passage with lightning speed. Snake heads kept popping out, which made Yu Huo stagger around and fall to the ground from time to time. In order to survive, Yu Huo struggled to get up and continue running.
I don't know how long I ran around the secret passage, but Zhang Tianshu finally stopped. Seeing Yu Huo panting, Zhang Tianshu said with a smile: "You need to exercise your physique, it's not as good as my old bones."
Yu Huo was dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but he was speechless and choked because Zhang Tianshu was really breathless, and he didn't look like an old man in his fifties or sixties. This made Yu Huo extremely ashamed.
"There are no rats here, so snakes don't usually come here."
Zhang Tianshu was about to touch the wine bottle, but found that he had forgotten it in his backpack. He was a little disappointed, and then said: "What I am going to show you next may be a bit scary, but you are the person who is destined to sew corpses, and sooner or later you will have to face it." Yes."
After Zhang Tianshu finished speaking, he was seen moving a stone statue carved into a cobra with both hands, and then a huge stone door opened. The sculptures on Shimen Mountain were not dragons, but two fierce cobras.
The spider silk and webs that were originally covered on it were pulled apart alive, and several huge black spiders fell down. They quickly threw them away and got into the rock crevices to hide.
Just as those black spiders disappeared, two giant long-legged spiders suddenly appeared. Judging from their long legs, they should be giant hunter spiders.
This kind of spider is agile and moves quickly. It likes to stay in karst caves and usually captures mice or other insects for food. It can be said to be a hostile competitor of the cobra.
Facing the giant spider as tall as a man, Zhang Tianshu seemed to have encountered it for the first time. He immediately took off his inseparable shotgun, loaded the bullet, and aimed the black muzzle at the plump abdomen of a spider.
With such a posture, it can be seen that Zhang Tianshu is about to go on a killing spree.
Zhang Tianshu dealt with wolves and snakes in a peaceful manner, but why did he kill this giant spider? Could it be that he had a grudge against this spider?
Seeing Zhang Tianshu's gun go off, Yu Huo also increased his vigilance. After all, these giant spiders, no matter whether they are poisonous or not, if they bite him, it will probably take half of his life.
In the blink of an eye, two gunshots were heard in succession, and the abdomen of a spider suddenly exploded, and the green sauce bursting from the abdomen flew everywhere and spread all over the floor.
Then there was another spider. The moment the bullet was fired, it only hit one of its legs. This made it completely furious. It jumped up and rushed towards Zhang Tianshu.
Soon enough, the silver needles in Yu Huo's hand shot out one after another, passing through the belly of the flying spider. Less than two centimeters away from Zhang Tianshi, he fell to the ground with a clang, shook his long legs a few times, and then There was no movement.
Frightened, Zhang Tianshu fell to the ground. Seeing that the danger was over, he gave a false alarm. Then he took a breath of cold air, looked back at Yu Huo, nodded, and then got up from the ground.
