Chapter 220 Underground River (Subscription Request, 7/7)
Chapter 220 Underground River (Subscription Request, 77)
The group slowly moved forward with flashlights, and soon they arrived at the underground river, which was an underground river that flowed to an unknown place.
After a while, everyone found that Shirley Yang was missing, and they were very anxious.
But soon she came back.
Seeing that she was fine, everyone felt relieved.
Jiang Que, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan went to the river and began to observe. At first, they didn't find anything, after all, they had just arrived.
But Jiang Que remembered that this underground river was not simple.
Because all the money had been taken back, Wang Kaixuan didn't have any opinions about Shirley Yang, but just complained and stopped talking.
While Hu Bayi was talking, he measured the depth of the water with an ice pick and found that it was not very deep and could be waded through.
At this time, the voice of Professor Chen Jiuren came, "Come here quickly."
After hearing this, everyone gathered around.
Found a wall full of some strange words.
At this time, Professor Chen hurried over to Wang Kaixuan and said, "Comrade Wang, can you let me see your jade?"
Wang Kaixuan didn't think it was a big deal, so he readily agreed.
After a careful inspection, Professor Chen opened his eyes wide and said happily: "These characters are all ghost cave characters, which are the characters of the legendary Jingjue Kingdom, a country located in the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty.
Comrade Xiao Wang, I remember you said that you got this jade when you were suppressing bandits back then?"
Wang Kaixuan nodded and said to him: "Yes, in the Niya Oasis."
Hu Bayi also asked: "Professor Chen, according to your statement, this ghost cave text has a direct relationship with the discovery of the Jingjue Ancient City?"
Chen Jiuren nodded and smiled: "Yes, these ghost cave texts are originally the characters of the Jingjue Kingdom, of course, they are helpful for us to find the Jingjue Ancient City.
Moreover, this major discovery will open a new chapter in our country's archaeology in the Western Regions.
It seems that Shirley Yang's father made a detour to come here that year, which made sense.
I am now more looking forward to the diary about the Jingjue Ancient City that he got that year. I don't know what will be recorded on it."
The old professor just felt that this trip was worthwhile.
As an archaeologist, if he could uncover the mystery of the Jingjue Kingdom during the Western Han Dynasty thousands of years ago, it would definitely be a major discovery.
Afterwards, Chen Jiuren asked Hao Aiguo to take his students to record all the ghost cave texts on the wall, and then said to Hu Bayi and Jiang Que: "Comrade Xiao Hu, Comrade Xiao Jiang, we must hurry up and move forward."
As he said this, there was a hint of determination and excitement in his old eyes, even excitement.
A big puzzle was about to be solved by him, how could he not be excited?
Hu Bayi nodded in agreement and reminded everyone: "Everyone remember, don't turn on the flash."
He was afraid of being discovered by the fire beetle. Once a group of fire beetles flew over, everyone would be dead.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Even Professor Chen Jiuren agreed and reminded: "Close it quickly, listen to Comrade Xiao Hu."
Hu Bayi became cautious, fearing that a fire beetle would fly out.
At this time, the rescue shed on the ground received an evacuation signal because a big storm was coming, but they had no way to notify the people below.
Next to the underground river, Hu Bayi said to Chen Jiuren and his group: "This underground river is not deep, but there may be something we don't know about. Everyone be careful."
Wade across the river!
Everyone was prepared, and Professor Chen and Shirley Yang had no objection. Now they had no good choice and no tools to cross the river, so they could only do this.
The group began to pull each other forward.
But they didn't notice that the river water was not only icy in temperature, but also full of human bones underneath. I don't know how many people have died here over the years.
Of course, Jiang Xiao knew that this underground river should not be simple.
He didn't rush over, but planned to wait until everyone had passed before robbing over. He didn't want to wade across the river like everyone else.
As for exposing his identity or ability, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things in this world. As long as everyone is used to it, they will naturally be familiar with it.
Wang Kaixuan felt very comfortable in the water, but Hu Bayi said, "Fatty, be careful. If you feel comfortable in this place, I'm afraid the things under you will also feel comfortable."
Hearing this, Wang Kaixuan was surprised and said, "Old Hu, are you talking about fireflies?"
But Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "Not only fireflies, but maybe there are others. It's very dangerous here. No one knows what monsters will exist."
He has been secretly alert.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. This sentence will not be wrong.
But just as they were stirring the water, Jiang Que clearly saw a creature like a crocodile swimming and rushing towards them.
After everyone got ashore, Jiang Que secretly said, "Good luck. If they were a step later, I'm afraid that the thing underground would bite them directly."
At this time, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he jumped to the water surface, and his feet quickly stepped on the water surface, just like Shaolin Qinggong, and he actually jumped directly from the water surface.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
But after the previous surprise, he didn't think anything of it now. Maybe this is a hermit master.
Wang Kaixuan immediately ran over and said, "Master Jiang, this... is this thing Qinggong? Can you teach me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Que smiled slightly, "Well, it is, but to learn this, you have to become a Taoist priest. Are you willing?"
This was naturally a tease to Wang Kaixuan, but Wang Kaixuan shook his head and immediately denied it, "Is that so? Forget it. I'm still waiting to get married and have children."
He didn't want to waste his youth on cultivation. Who knows if he can still cultivate it.
After hearing Jiang Que's explanation, the others were all sad. If possible, they also wanted to learn it. Not to mention becoming an immortal or a god, they would not need a ferry to cross the river in the future.
And if you learn Qinggong, you can go all over the world.
It's just a pity.
Becoming a monk is something that most people can't accept.
Think about it and grit your teeth and bear it.
Hu Bayi wanted to learn it at first, but after hearing Jiang Que's words, he decisively extinguished that unrealistic idea. It was more important to pass on the family line.
Although kung fu is good, if it cannot prolong people's life, they will die in the end.
Jiang Que's ability is indeed enviable.
Even Shirley Yang was surprised, and she was secretly alert in her heart, and even in the depths of her eyes, there was a trace of extremely deep fear and fear.
No wonder Jiang Que was indifferent to everything he did, with a calm look, as if he was sitting there, and the world was in his control.
That feeling made her feel terrible.
Not to say that it was like a ghost, but at least it was like those martial arts masters in the movie, and this was enough to make people feel terrified.
After crossing the underground river, Hu Bayi found a strange fork in the road.
He and a soldier went over to take a look and found that an ancient building was actually emitting a light blue light.
When everyone got closer, they were surprised to find the weirdness of this place.
Wang Kaixuan whispered: "What the hell is this place?"
On the side, Professor Chen Jiuren explained in a low voice: "This is the legendary nine-story demon building..."
