When I saw the waterfall, I was shocked, because the water was so turbulent that I wanted to go around it, and it would cost my life. Kun Yu seemed to understand Yun Xiao's thoughts, and pointed to the downstream of the waterfall and said, "Yun Hou, we need to build a raft here. Passing through the cave in the water, you will reach the Holy Land. ”
Yun Xiaohu looked at the turbulent river suspiciously, and then looked at Kun Yudao: "You can think about the consequences, my safety is related to the rise and fall of Yelang." If I die, you Yelang will disappear forever. ”
The river here is so turbulent, and the clouds are really a little frightened. I'm afraid that this old guy will engage in some conspiracy, but he can't do what he says. Only this old guy knows the way, and he will know by asking many questions before coming. The Holy Land was a place that only priests could reach, and it was often the priests of the previous generation who went with the priests of the later generation and two of them. The priests then ascend to heaven in the Holy Land. Later generations of priests remained on earth with God's will as a bridge between God and man. As for the two slaves, no one cared. It seems that no slave ever came out of there.
"Yunhou don't worry, as long as you do what I say. Surely nothing could go wrong, I haven't been here in thirty years. But the grass and trees here are no different from those of thirty years ago. If you don't believe me, we can go back. ”
This old guy is actually a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water now, and he has come here anyway. If you don't believe me, it's no big deal to walk back.
"Lord Hou......"
Yun Xiao raised his hand to stop the goshawk's words and said, "Cut down trees and build rafts." ”
Kun Yu walked down for about a mile with Yun Xiao and his party, and sure enough, the river level slowed down a lot. In the distance, you can see a black cave a mile or two away. It's too far away. I don't really see it.
The jungle may lack everything, but there is no shortage of trees. As soon as Yun Xiao gave the order, the guards dispersed. I found some small trees with thick arms and began to start, and for a while the sound of cutting trees was endless.
Kun Yu, the old boy, walked to the water's edge and looked left and right as if he had found something. He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the tree.
Yun Xiaozheng didn't know what this guy was doing. Suddenly, the trees began to rain fruit. Countless fruits fell like hailstones, and it turned out that there was a group of monkeys in the trees. When they saw Kun Yu throwing stones at them, they took stones and smashed them at Kun Yu.
Kun Yu hid behind a boulder, and his steel helmet was beaten to a ping pong. Fortunately, this guy has a steel helmet, otherwise he would have to be smashed open.
It took a while for the fruit rain to stop. The monkeys saw Kun Yu hiding behind the boulder and loading his bag, squatting on a tree and grinning with his teeth. The guards had already pressed Yun Xiao behind the boulder, drew his bow and crossbow, and looked nervously at the treetops.
Kun Yu picked up a fruit from the ground as if he were fine. He took out a knife and cut a hole in the fruit. Take a big gulp. Seeing that Yun Xiao and the Yun family guards looked strange, they walked over with two fruits and said, "This is a nut in the mountains, the juice is drinkable, the flesh is edible." Yunhou also tasted it, this is a rare delicacy in the mountains. ”
Yun Xiao took the fruit, which was slightly larger than his fist. The skin is hard, a bit like a small coconut. Seeing Kun Yu pick up another one, dig a small hole with a knife and then take the juice to drink. Without hesitation, he took out a knife and pierced two small holes. I sucked it up.
The taste of the juice is good. It's not sweet, but it's cool. Rushed all morning's road, plus didn't sleep well last night. He looked a little tired. This juice seems to have a refreshing effect. After drinking it in one gulp, I felt refreshed and immediately leaned over and picked up another one.
When the guards saw the appearance of the Hou Ye, they also learned to pick it up and concoct it in the same way. In the middle of the shift, the fruit left by the monkeys was picked up. These killers are quick learners, picking up stones and challenging monkeys.
The monkeys were naturally not to be outdone, and for a while, Shi Laiguo was very happy. Some of them were beaten by monkeys. He actually shot a bow and arrows to shoot those naughty monkeys down. With last night's experience, Yun Xiao and the goshawk hurriedly stopped. Monkeys are more intelligent than wild boars, and if they are annoyed, they are afraid that the revenge will be a hundred times more ruthless.
Kun Yu didn't bother to pay attention to these killers, and used a knife to split the fruit and pick the flesh inside to eat. Yun Xiao also ate one, and the taste was a little sweet, and it looked like a sea stinger when he bit it. It's very textured and chews in the mouth. Yun Xiao tasted two of them, and felt bored and urged the killers to tie up the raft. Kun Yu was full of food and drink, and actually found a stone to sleep and went back to sleep, but the goshawk wanted to beat him but was stopped by Yun Xiao.
Some of the killers cut down trees, some were responsible for removing branches, and some were responsible for tying them with thick hemp rope. Because of entering the mountain, Yunxiao is afraid that there will be obstacles on the slopes and cliffs. I ordered someone to bring a lot of thick hemp rope, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
By sunset, more than a dozen rafts had been tied. In order to test the load of the raft, Yun Xiao ordered several guards to stand up. Prop up into the river and see how many people a raft can withstand.
As soon as the guards held up their wooden poles, the raft headed for the middle of the river. The river is not wide, only a dozen zhang in appearance. However, it seems that the water is very deep, and there are whirlpools on the surface of the river, which looks a little scary.
The seven or eight guards selected by Yun Xiao were all well-versed in water, and they were scattered on top of the raft to keep the raft balanced.
At first, the raft was relatively stable, but it was immediately sucked in by the whirlpool in the center of the river. The whole raft kept spinning, and the guards on the raft began to bend down to keep their balance.
"Hold back! Come back soon. The goshawk was in a hurry, and roared and shouted on the shore. The guards on the raft struggled to prop it up, but several people did not work together, and only the wooden pole was heard crackling in the water, but the raft did not move. One of the guards slipped his hand in a hurry. A protruding boil on the wooden pole cut his hand an inch into it.
Blood flowed down the mouth, dripping into the river.
"Whoever let you into the water, come out quickly. Hurry up and ......" The goshawk's afterlife woke up Kunyu, and the old guy saw that everyone was by the river. When he looked into the river again, he was shocked, and rushed to the river and shouted urgently.
"Nonsense, who doesn't know to get out quickly. Being swept up in a whirlpool, where is it so fun. The goshawk reprimanded Kun Yu angrily.
"You don't understand, this river...... Anyway, come up quickly, I hope you don't alarm the demons in the river. Kun Yu looked sincerely frightened, and the expression on his face was distorted to the extreme, as if there were monsters in this river.
Goshawk has big nerves, and Yun Xiao is not stupid. He immediately understood that there was something going on, so he came over to Kun Yu and asked, "What's the cat in this river, you say?" ”
"There are man-eating water monsters in this river, and whether it is a boat or a raft, you must go into the water gently and not make noise. I heard that this water monster sleeps on weekdays, and if he is woken up, he must have food to pass the level. We all have to take a slave with us when we go to Guò to prevent waking up the water monsters. If the monster wakes up, we will throw a slave down. It's been this rule for hundreds of years. You guys...... How can you go into the water without listening to me? ”
Kun Yu explained in a fit of anger, and Yun Xiao immediately understood that this river was not simple. He also yelled at people to shoot ropes and try to pull them back.
Before the rope was tied to the bow and arrow, the river seemed to boil. In particular, the area around the raft was more like boiling water, and everyone began to exclaim. The Yun family guards on the raft also began to panic, and they shouted for help. But no one made it clear.
The guards seemed to have seen something terrible, and they began to run in a mess as if they were about to jump into the water and swim to the shore. But there seems to be something in the water that makes these murderous people very jealous.
But they forgot that it was on the raft, and the chaotic running broke the balance of the raft. The raft began to tilt, and then one side of the raft flipped over.
This time it was terrible, and the boiling water surface was even more boiling. The guards were screaming and screaming when they first entered the water, and large streams of blood gushed out of the water where they fell. The whole river was dyed red, and the bright red blood stained a large area of water. In particular, the churning waves in the water make the place look like the blood pools of the legendary hell.
The people on the shore were dumbfounded, and even the guy who tied the rope to the arrow stopped. These people are killing people like hemp, but no one has ever seen such a strange scene.
The guards who had fallen into the water did not struggle for a moment before falling silent, and the boiling water of the river also calmed down after boiling again. Only the raft drifted down the river into the cavern, eventually swallowed up by the darkness.
Everyone stood stupidly on the shore and didn't speak, including Yunxiao. Before and after, after a cup of tea, the eight strong men disappeared. If it weren't for the thick blood on the surface of the water, it would be as if those people hadn't appeared.
"Hou ...... Master Hou! "The goshawk's throat is a little dry, the things in this water are too terrifying. He wasn't sure what it was, so he asked Yun Xiao if he didn't understand the Yun family's tradition. There will definitely be a satisfying answer.
What the hell is in the water, Yun Xiao doesn't know. He didn't believe in any kind of river monsters and water monsters, but it was also a fact that eight big living people disappeared in front of him like this. Moreover, the death of the guards was miserable, and the horror of the howls was rare.
"From now on, no one is allowed to go into the water." Yun Xiao slowly and decisively gave the order. In fact, this order is also nonsense, and now no idiot dares to go into the water at all. The screams of the dead seemed to linger in their ears, and the big ones scattered in silence.
The atmosphere of the team was dreary, having been attacked by wild boars last night. Today, eight more brothers died inexplicably, and the killers began to feel fear. No matter how many people they kill, they bring fear to more people. But they are also human beings, and they are still full of fear of the unknown.
"There is no other way, if you want to go down the lìtong guò cave, you can only throw a living sacrifice into the river. Otherwise, no one will be able to get by. Kun Yu said to Yun Xiao, who was frowning. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
