Chapter 350: Where the Four Waters Meet
Looking at this skeleton, this person should have been very tall in his life.
The body was in an upright sitting position, its bones white and scarred. The neck, leg, and arm bones were wounded, and several ribs were broken - crushingly.
"There was a hole in the skull, which was supposed to be a fatal wound. Yan Saburo took a closer look, "There is no sign of healing in the bones, this person is seriously injured and died." β
If a person survives an injury, the bones will have traces of self-healing, but this remains do not.
Chitose grabbed the bones of the remains and examined them carefullyβthis man was not without a body, and he wore a ring on the middle finger of his right hand, which was of a strange style, in the shape of a golden snake and a jade bead.
The jade was still a beautiful and eye-catching red jade, and Chitose stared at it and squinted.
Yan Saburo was looking at the stone room.
In fact, this grotto is not actually airtight, there is a large crack around the remains, more than five feet (one meter six) wide, but the entire grotto, from the bottom to the top, at first glance, it looks like someone has been cut out with a knife.
Chitose walked out of the water-splitting barrier, swam to the crack in the ground, reached out, and nodded.
Yan Saburo walked over and drew the gourd in the same way, but he didn't perceive anything, and couldn't help but look at Chitose.
"The water temperature is not the same. Chitose pointed to the crack in the ground, "If you don't put away the barrier, you won't feel the impact of the water." There is also a hot spring gushing up underground, and the temperature is enough to cook the meat. β
Yan Saburo looked up at the crack at the top of the grotto: "From here to the ground?"
"It seems so. Counting this undercurrent, this is actually the place where the four rivers meet, not just the three waters. Chitose groaned, "More in and less out, and then counting the terrain of the Red Mill Valley, no wonder the earth is so gloomy." β
But the problem is that such a thick yin qi has barely penetrated upward, but now it is steaming. Yan Saburo took the water beads, and did not directly touch the water flow, and felt that the cold was oozing his bones, and he wanted to get goosebumps.
"Yin Qi Yuan was suppressed. Chitose was also looking at the crack at the top of the grotto, "but now that the man is gone, he may have slipped through the crack." β
The entrance to the grotto was sealed, and it was evident that the contents had been here for many years and did not want to be disturbed, but now slipped up the spring.
Yan Saburo's eyes moved slightly: "How do you know that this is a 'person'?" It is obviously the "God of Flowers" who is enclosed here.
This kid is getting more and more keen, and he grabs her so tightly. "Maybe it's a person. Chitose glanced at him before saying, "I recognize this ring." β
"But he's dead. "It's all bones," Isn't it a ghost?"
"It's hard to say, but the requiem puja of Zhang County Decree did alarm it. β
The ritual summons the lonely spirits in the vicinity, and may have disturbed the flower gods who were sleeping here. Chitose pointed to the top of the cave: "Let's go, let's go out and see what is going on." β
Yan Saburo climbed up from the crack in the ground.
This is a naturally formed ground fissure, when it is wide and sometimes narrow, when it is large and sometimes small, when it is wide, it can accommodate three or five people to stand, and when it is narrow, even Yan Saburo has to shrink his shoulders to pass. It's a shame that his body is not as thick as an adult, otherwise he will be stuck halfway through.
Chitose doesn't care, she turns into red smoke, where can't she go?
The mountain road is unexpectedly long, and the gap that Tsubazaburo passes through often encounters forks, and there must be one leading to the Flower God Pond. However, people can't tell the direction underground, even Chitose, so Tsubame Saburo finally got out of a small river. The hole leading to the top was too small, and he complained that the wooden sword split it open, and then it returned to the surface.
There was no one around, but there was a sound of wild grass and wild trees.
I don't know which section of the river it is, and Yan Saburo also knows where it is and how far away it is from the Flower God Pond.
He went ashore and put away the beads: "I lost it." Seeing the underground in all directions, he knew that the tracking had failed, "Since you know the man, you may speculate where he is going?"
"Is this embarrassing for me?" Chitose rolled her eyes, "Haven't you heard the word 'things are people', how do I know what it has become now?"
Yan Saburo looked left and right: "If you are the god of flowers, you would have stayed at the bottom of the pool with a good look, and you were suddenly disturbed by the requiem ceremony. Where do you go when you climb out of the ground?"
Chitose spat him: "You only need to climb!" But this kid has a very lively mind. Her eyes rolled, and she said in unison with Yan Saburo: "Jushitan!"
The long-sleeping god of flowers was alarmed, and of course he wanted to see what was going on, and to see which daring dared to disturb his dreams.
There happened to be a wisp of red smoke of soul-attracting incense wafting from above, very faint, but it was still caught by Yan Saburo's eyesight. He pointed in the direction where the smoke came: "That's the upper reaches of the river." β
The red smoke is pulled by the Extreme Shade, so it comes from the upper reaches of the river and goes to the Flower God Pond. Just by looking at the direction it was traveling, the two of them could roughly judge their own position, as well as the direction of Jushitan.
Yan Saburo was about to unfold his body, but suddenly stopped again, his face slightly stunned.
Chitose almost bumped into him, dissatisfied, "What did you stop suddenly?"
Yan Saburo pulled out the red rope from the placket.
"It's shocking. β
"Huh?" Chitose looked down in surprise, just in time to see the wooden bell he held in the palm of his hand glowing with a faint blue light, "The mission is coming?"
The heavenly machine was actually touched at this time? The wooden bell had not been assigned a job for too long, and she couldn't get motivated to do anything. Chitose took a deep breath, suddenly felt refreshed, and said with a smile: "What about the hint?"
The words on the bell were taking shape, and Yan Saburo read them softly:
"God of flowers. β
"Let's go. Chitose was in a hurry, picked up Yan Saburo and threw it towards the hillside in the distance. The mountains here are steep, and if you want to get to Jushitan quickly, you have to climb over the mountains and take the usual path.
Her strength was amazing, and she threw the boy directly a hundred feet away, and the accuracy was amazingly good. Yan Saburo hung on a big tree, his waist was as flexible as a cat, and with the help of a flick of the branch, he jumped quickly up the mountain.
And he didn't forget to look back at Chitose.
She chased after her with a smile on her face. This kid seems to hate being carried around by her more and more, hehe, but how can she break it if she thinks it's fun?
The child grows too fast, and in two years she won't be able to throw people like this.
Yan Saburo buried his head in the road and did not squeak. His movements are as agile as that of an ape, and he runs effortlessly on the tops of trees and rocks, and the Genelec dragon swims vigorously as soon as he is urged, providing an endless stream of powerful kinetic energy to his body. The hard work that has been done day in and day out over the past two years can be seen at times like these.
Chitose asked a few words, but Yan Saburo didn't say a word, and his mouth was closed tighter than a mussel shell. She smiled and touched his head: "Still angry?"
The boy tilted his head, dodging her claws.
Chitose was not annoyed, and sighed lightly: "I don't know what this flower god has done, and he actually touched the heavens." He was a careful man during his lifetime. β
