39 Undercurrents

It is said that Xie Yixiang and De Yizi slid north on the frozen "Zeyi Naibai River", but unexpectedly, the Divine Fire Sect's Jishui Venerable chased and killed all the way, and in anger, he even cracked the frozen lake with a soft whip. Before Xie Yixiang could dodge, she was pulled into the water by a son behind her, and her whole body was suddenly immersed in the icy river water.

Fortunately, Xie Yixiang grew up by the Taihu Lake in the west of Suzhou since she was a child, and her water nature can be described as outstanding, although it happened suddenly, she also took a deep breath of air at the moment before entering the water, so she was not so flustered, but she felt that the surrounding river water was surprisingly cold, and the chill was refreshing. Then he saw a figure beside him for a moment, but he fell into the water after him, and he was beside him at this time.

Xie Yixiang was about to blame the little Taoist priest for dragging himself into the water, but he saw that Yizi was showing his hands and feet in this cold river, and the water nature was surprisingly good, and then he grabbed Xie Yixiang's clothes and took her to the bottom of the river with him. Xie Yixiang suddenly realized that at this time, there was clearly a murderous Jishui Venerable on the river, and he had to kill the two of them if he saw the posture, so diving into the depths of the river like this, he might be able to find a glimmer of life. It can be seen that Yizi dragged himself into the water not by a momentary mistake, but by his deliberate intention.

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang spread out his limbs, and he and De Yizi swam to the depths, and when they dived to a depth of two or three zhang, the surrounding river suddenly moved, and five or six hair-thin waterlines had shot down from above, directly taking the two people in the water. Xie Yixiang was secretly shocked in her heart, knowing that this was the Venerable Jishui emitting an air-separating force on the surface of the river, if she was hit by these waterlines, even if she didn't die, she would end up with her skin and flesh open, so she hurriedly pulled the person next to her to dodge. When the two of them dived to the bottom of the river, they were already five or six zhang high from the river, and when they looked up, they saw that the lake under the moonlit night was like a cracked mirror, and there were cracked lines everywhere, which was obviously done by the Venerable Ponding Water on the river, and they thought about killing the two people in the river. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but say in her heart: "There is also the word 'water' in the name of the Venerable Jishui, and the water nature is naturally not weak. If he also jumps into the river and kills them all, won't the two of us be doomed?"

As soon as the two of them reached the bottom of the river, they signaled to continue swimming north. Xie Yixiang swam with him for a distance, only to find that although the surface of the "Zeyinaibai River" had been covered with several feet of ice, there were still a lot of aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the river.

After doing so for about a cup of tea, Xie Yixiang suddenly felt that the river around her was not so cold, and even gradually became a little warmer. Swimming out of a section of the waterway further, you can see that the water flow in front of the river bottom formed a whirlpool with a diameter of a few feet, driving the nearby aquatic plants to sway, take a closer look, the whirlpool is directly below is a huge deep hole, the black and bottomless, the water flow in all four flows into it. The closer they got to this deep cave, the warmer the surrounding river became, soaking the two of them so uncomfortably, and the previous chill was swept away unconsciously.

Although the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains is located in the bitter cold land of the Western Regions, there are many volcanoes in it, after hundreds of eruptions in tens of millions of years, there are still a lot of lava flowing in the ground, thus generating geothermal heat; once there is a flow of water through the geothermal place, it will form a warm current, which is also commonly known as "hot springs", and this "Zeyinaibai River" is one of them. Therefore, although it is now the cold winter season, the river surface has formed a thick layer of ice, but the river water under the ice layer can still flow normally due to the warm current under the water.

Xie Yixiang didn't know the mystery of this, but she knew a little about the deep hole that appeared in front of her. It is said that on that day, in the "underworld" valley deep underground on the shore of Poyang Lake, Xie Yixiang had been to the "Yellow Spring Land" of the underworld family in the "Taixu Dream" of his heavenly grandfather. After some explanation by his grandfather at the time, Xie Yixiang knew that the water veins in the world are also divided into yin and yang, the rivers and lakes that can be seen on the ground are yang, and the invisible undercurrent sources under the ground are yin, which are positive and negative to each other, and always maintain a dynamic balance. Therefore, the deep hole that appears at the bottom of the river at this moment must be connected to the underground water veins in the vicinity, and it flows in the opposite direction to this "Zeyinaibai River" - the river is from north to south, so the undercurrent under this deep hole that sucks the river water into it should flow from south to north.

After figuring out the origin of this deep cave, Xie Yixiang hurriedly grabbed the nearby aquatic plants, for fear that she would be swept into it by the whirlpool at this deep hole. At this time, the two of them had been sneaking at the bottom of the river for nearly a meal, even if Xie Yixiang had cultivated the internal strength of "Autumn Water Forever Sky", it was already a little uncomfortable to hold back a breath of true breath at this time. Looking at the son next to him, although the water nature of this little Taoist priest is not weak, after all, he has no internal force foundation, which is far less than the length of Xie Yixiang's true qi, and his pretty face is already red. Xie Yixiang estimated in his heart that the two of them had also sneaked out of the river for a mile or two of waterways, and since the Venerable Jishui on the river had not entered the water to chase and kill, most of them had already given up on the two at this time, so it was better to surface to find out, and take the opportunity to take a breath.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang signaled to De Yizi beside him to float up and break the ice above his head, but who knew that Yizi shook his head resolutely in the water, and stretched out his hand to point to the dark deep hole in front of him, actually asking Xie Yixiang to continue diving into this deep hole with him. Xie Yixiang was taken aback, and shook her head vigorously, so that she couldn't argue with her, so she could only look at each other angrily. Xie Yixiang saw that his two eyes were bloodshot, which was clearly a sign that his breath was about to run out, and he was afraid that he would worry about his life if he stayed in the water, so he immediately stopped hesitating, and wanted to pull a son up and float up.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yixiang just grabbed the arm of a son, but the other party's hands buckled her wrists in turn, and then wrote with her fingers in her palm: "Looking for fish." Xie Yixiang was inexplicable, how did she know what fish this little Taoist priest was looking for? She was about to write in the palm of Deyizi's palm to ask, but Deyizi made a fierce force, and the whole person had jumped over the deep hole in front of him, and under the traction of the nearby water, he was immediately swept into the whirlpool and fell into the deep hole.

Xie Yixiang couldn't think about it in shock, and subconsciously jumped out, followed by and rushed straight towards the deep hole. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, and as soon as her body was swept into the whirlpool, she grabbed the arm of Ichiko again. Unexpectedly, the turbulence of the water in the whirlpool was far beyond Xie Yixiang's expectations, once she was trapped in it, she could not break free at all, and immediately swept the two of them into the deep hole together.

Xie Yixiang secretly screamed that it was not good, and then her eyes were dark, and even her "poor thousands of miles" magic power could no longer be seen, but she felt that her whole body rotated back and forth with the current, which made her dizzy and dizzy, and there was a sharp pain on her body from time to time, but it was under the traction of the water flow and hit the rock wall at the bottom of the water, and she bruised more than a dozen places one after another. Xie Yixiang had to protect his head and face with his hand, and with the other hand, he grabbed the son next to him, and was washed deep into the river with him.

After about a meal, Xie Yixiang's whole person was already confused, and she was holding back her breath until now, and she was almost at the limit of what her body could bear. Fortunately, after hitting a rock wall with his shoulder again, the water around him suddenly eased, and instead he floated up with the two of them, and gradually a bright light spilled from above his head.

Xie Yixiang was shocked, endured the pain on her body, and pulled her son to float up. Gradually, the surrounding water flow became colder and colder, but the two of them left the warm current under the water, and the light sprinkled above was clearly visible, and it was clearly a fuzzy bright moon reflected in the sky, and the surroundings had become extremely open. As far as the eye can see, the bottom of the water where the two of them are at the moment is like the bottom of a large lake, and when they look back at the road, there is a deep hole several feet square at the bottom of the water. Obviously, the two of them just dived from the deep hole at the bottom of the "Zeyinaibai River", followed the current through a large section of underground undercurrent, and now they have come out of another deep hole and have come to a completely new body of water.

Xie Yixiang was already exhausted, and she felt uncomfortable in her chest, how could she have the heart to think about where this was? She just floated up with a child, and she was about to approach the water, but there was a pain on the top of her head, as if she had hit something hard. Only then did she come to her senses and said secretly: "It's winter now, and of course there is a thick layer of ice on the water here. She reached out to push the ice above her head, trying to break the ice with force, but the ice here was several feet thick, and she was exerting force in the water, and the force was even less than half, where could she get this extremely hard ice?

Xie Yixiang was anxious, and hurriedly pulled out her waist and left in chaos. Who knew that when she turned her head, she found that the one beside her had long since stopped moving, and his whole body was quietly suspended in the water, staring at the two dull eyes, and only a small string of bubbles rose from the corner of his mouth. Xie Yixiang trembled with fright, with his own internal strength cultivation, this fashion is almost exhausted, not to mention this powerless little Taoist priest? Could it be that this little Taoist priest who can compete with Yan Sidao is going to die here?
