The strength of finally falling into the water was gone, and I stopped sinking like a year, and my body began to float.

After regaining control of my body, I almost instinctively and without thinking about it, I finally surfaced.

The temporary deafness and silent feeling of falling into the water has disappeared as I surfaced, and Xiao Chengqian's anxious verbosity sounded in my ears again: "Chengyi, are you okay?" Are you stupid? Why did you just fall? What's going on? I look worried. ”

I shook my head speechlessly, this young master Xiao, before he was ripe, he was very cool and dragged a person, how did he feel that after becoming more and more familiar, there was a lingering sense of 'chatterbox' in this sex? It's like an old lady sitting on a big kang in the northeast, waiting for someone to chat.

The sense of crisis in my heart lingered, and I didn't want to explain anything too much to Xiao Chengqian, so I said in a muffled voice: "This waterhole is very deep, I estimate that part of this mountain is empty, and it leads directly to Pool X through this waterhole, if that's the case" In fact, I want to say that if that's the case, you said that such a monster is really possible to exist in this pool, but I didn't say it, at the moment my heart is full of an inexplicable sense of crisis, and then mention this I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the pressure in my heart and run ashore.

Therefore, I simply said to Xiao Chengqian, who was still digesting my words and was a little stunned: "You are here, remember to play the flashlight." ”

With that, I swam into the water.

The whole cavern was silent, except for the sound of my 'whooshing' arms paddling the water, and the stone pillar was in the innermost middle of the pool, which, by its strange shape, was about the same distance I had to swim from wherever I got into the water.

Originally, this distance was nothing to me, but I don't know why, I always felt a 'peep' in this water, and that feeling overwhelmed me, and in the process of swimming, I felt that the soles of my feet were tightened, but I swam more and more slowly.

Xiao Chengqian's flashlight has always been shining on me, and he is silent at the moment, I think he has seen the so-called monster water monster, so he is as nervous as me, right?

The atmosphere was too oppressive, and with every stroke, I felt relieved, because it was closer, but at the same time I tightened a string again, because I was afraid that there would suddenly be a loud sound of breaking water on the surface of the water, or that I would be dragged down by something underwater.

In this life, I have walked or swam over a distance of 30 meters, but there has never been a time that made me so nervous and panicked, and that feeling was not much different from trembling in the sea of knives and fires.

Time passed in a long and unbearable way, minute by minute, finally, the stone pillar was in front of my eyes, and Xiao Chengqian's cheering voice came from behind me: "Chengyi, hurry, you are going to succeed." ”

He screamed so suddenly, it startled me, and I almost sank uncoordinatedly, but can I blame Xiao Chengqian? Obviously not, he was also happy for me, and it was finally coming

I calmed down, took a deep breath, and began to sprint the last distance, and finally, my hand touched the pillar, and the sense of security returned to me.

It's similar to climbing a tree when I was a child, the difficulty is that it's in the water, not on land, and I have a good focus point, so the first time I climbed the stone pillar, it was very difficult, but I still managed to climb the stone pillar.

Holding the stone pillar and stepping on a pit of the stone pillar, I found that the distance of dozens of meters made me so tired, I gasped for a while, I began to climb up non-stop, Xiao Chengqian was very responsible for following my every step.

It's just that the more scared I get, the more wrong I feel, because I always feel a little tired in the process of climbing, but this feeling is so familiar.

I don't think this kind of tiredness is because I want to sleep, but according to the practitioner's understanding, there are only three situations when this kind of inexplicable tiredness occurs, the first is that the ghost wants people to fall into a hallucination. Second, it is the phantom array that comes into play. The third possibility can almost be ruled out today, and that is that monsters want to confuse people.

No matter which of these three situations is worth being vigilant against, I am naturally vigilant after climbing less than five meters.

But what about that familiar feeling? I suddenly thought of a possibility, and shouted to Xiao Chengqian: "Old Xiao, take a flashlight around me, especially those pits, be careful." ”

Xiao Chengqian also didn't ask why, but with a bang, the light of the flashlight shone around me, I observed carefully, and suddenly found that one of the pits, inlaid with something similar to a bone, the color is too similar to the stone pillar, so I can't necessarily find it when I look at it, or pass by unintentionally.

It turns out that this is really the case, I said to Xiao Chengqian: "Okay, old Xiao, do you remember the snake in the phantom array? ”

"What old Xiao, I'm still young" Xiao Chengqian was originally dissatisfied with me calling him Lao Xiao, and suddenly heard me mention this, and suddenly his voice became angry, shouting: "Why don't I remember, when I was a child, I didn't suffer less from it, my grandfather set up a formation on a special pillar, and then let me go up along the stone ladder next to the pillar, not allowed to break the formation, just go up, saying that it is to exercise my mood, I X!" I don't know how many times I've fallen, what Lao Tzu hates most in his life is this formation! ”

I smiled bitterly, this young master Xiao's experience is really surprisingly similar to me, but I am not as high-end as him, and there is no special pillar, my master found a big tree in the mountains at random, and put this snake in the maze, and then asked me to climb the tree, and then I don't know how many times I fell.

Of course, the reason is the same as Xiao Chengqian's grandfather's reason, exercise the heart!

Because the snake gradually lost formation is a unique formation of our old Li first vein (now Xiao Chengqian's first vein should be counted), it is said that it can almost perfectly imitate a formation of ghosts and monsters to confuse people's minds, in order to exercise us not to be moved by confusion, and always keep a clear mind in our hearts, this snake gradually maze almost every week to climb, is a 'compulsory course', it is said to climb for ten years, and the firmness of the natural heart will improve a lot.

Back then, it also had a great effect, otherwise in the Hungry Ghost Tomb, I would not have been able to judge the existence of the roadblock so calmly at once.

Thinking of this, I said to Xiao Chengqian: "Old Xiao, I know why only our two veins can get close and obtain this purple plant, there is a snake on this pillar that is gradually lost." ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Chengqian was stunned for a moment, his voice was full of surprise, and then he said in a 'painful' tone: "Dude, then you should be cruel to yourself." ”

I was speechless, I could only be cruel to myself, thinking like this, I held the stone pillar tightly with my left hand, moved my right hand to my mouth, and then bit down my middle finger!

The Coiled Snake Gradual Maze Formation is a phantom array, and at first glance it is just a formation that exercises the mind and will not produce any actual damage, but you think that it is a low-level formation, and a more powerful person can break it casually, and the power is also very small, then you are wrong.

To use such an analogy, you can imagine the coiled snake gradually becoming confused, imagining a poisonous snake that cannot move its body, only its head can move, entrenched in a tree, when you pass by its body, you naturally only feel the coldness of the snake's body, but it will not cause substantial damage, but when you reach the snake's head, it is a fatal place

How deadly, the master didn't give me a detailed explanation, but just told me that this formation is the formation at the bottom of the box, and what to protect is the most powerful, but at least in this world, there must be someone more powerful than my ancestor to break the formation! Well, the master set up a formation on the big tree back then, and the guard of the array eye was a bird's nest, I once secretly thought, the master knew about it, would he come back immediately and beat the master, and the formation at the bottom of the box was so 'ruined'!

This is the real coiled snake gradually lost, crawling for so many years, I say there is a familiar feeling!

Knowing that it is it, it is convenient to break the formation, maybe for others, this snake is gradually lost and difficult to break, but for our descendants, this snake is gradually lost, we only need to add the formation eyes in the three positions of the formation, and it is enough to smear the blood of our middle finger.

Cause? What Master once told me was that the reason was unknown!

However, it is always painful to bite your middle finger alive, so Young Master Xiao will tell me so 'painfully' to be cruel to yourself

Climb all the way, break the formation all the way, this snake gradually lost to me, almost the same as nothing, which made me a lot easier, when I was a child, the bottom of the tree is still there, such a high stone pillar can not stop me, soon, I reached the top of the pillar

And the surface of the water is still dark and quiet.
