Chapter 228: There is a cave inside
When Tianyou came out of the Changcheng Xie, he found that Zhao Quan had not left, but had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Tianyou come out, he immediately came up to meet him.
"Senior Brother Tianyou is out?"
"Yes." Tianyou nodded.
Zhao Quan laughed and asked anxiously: "Didn't Xie Changzhang say anything?"
Tianyou is such a smart person, and he immediately guessed what Zhao Quan meant. "This was given by Xie Changjun. I asked me to go to the next door to choose tasks in the future." As he said that, the jade pendant was revealed.
Zhao Quan obviously knew this thing. He was so scared that he didn't dare to look at it again after just a glance. He bent his waist and reached out to make a "please" move and said respectfully: "Senior Brother Tianyou is here with me, it's easy to say anything with this."
Tianyou did not go directly to choose the task in the end, but went downstairs to find Pang Dahai and Zhao Gongming who were still waiting for him. After roughly explaining the situation to the two, he returned to the third floor under the guidance of Zhao Quan.
When he walked to the door of the room that Chang Envoy Xie mentioned, Zhao Quan did not push the door directly, but knocked on the door twice, and then waited respectfully.
The seemingly ordinary wooden door was pulled open almost immediately, but the scenery inside the door was so extraordinary.
The Hall of Merit is a building, built separately on an open mountain top area, with nothing else around it. However, after the door opened, it showed a deep rock corridor inside. Judging from the shape, it turned out to be a cave.
Tianyou was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that it was not a human being who opened the door, but a Taoist puppet. The bronze puppet was covered with heavy armor. If it weren't for Tianyou's spiritual vision ability, he would have seen the spiritual net that was looming in the puppet's body, he would have almost regarded it as a general with a bronze mask.
Seeing the Taoist puppet in the door, Zhao Quan bowed respectfully first, and then signaled Tianyou to take out the jade pendant quickly. Tianyou thought that he was going to check the jade pendant, so he immediately took out the jade pendant and handed it over. Unexpectedly, the soldier puppet actually took the jade pendant and stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it, swallowing it.
Tianyou was about to have an attack, but was pulled tightly by Zhao Quan beside him, and then whispered. "This is a necessary inspection process. Senior Brother Tianyou will return the jade pendant to you when you come out."
Tianyou felt relieved when he heard the commentary. Seeing that the Taoist puppet blocked the door had retreated to the door and made way out, Tianyou walked in. He only took two steps but did not hear Zhao Quan's footsteps follow, so he turned around in surprise.
Zhao Quan obviously knew what Tianyou meant, so he quickly explained: "A jade pendant can only be passed by one person, and someone inside will answer. If the senior brother doesn't understand, he will ask."
Since this is the rule, there is nothing I can do. Tianyou nodded and confirmed it, then turned around and continued to walk inside. The Taoist puppet behind turned around and closed the wooden door. The passage suddenly fell into darkness. However, Tianyou's eyesight was outstanding. It was not pitch black in his sight, but just turned into a black and white image.
After the Taoist puppet closed the door, he did not continue to stand guard, but followed him with a dongdong dongdong. At the same time, two strong lights emitted from his eyes illuminating the passage in front, as if he was carrying two searchlights.
If I had just doubted it before, then now Tianyou has confirmed that the door is obviously a teleportation channel. This place is not decorated like a cave, but is really a cave. The cold environment is like an ice cellar, which is very different from the environment of the Hall of Merits. Moreover, following the Taoist puppets leading the way, they have walked a long way beyond the area of the Hall of Merits.
After walking through the long path, a faint light finally lit up in front of him, and the Taoist puppet beside him also closed the two glowing eyes. As he continued to move forward, the front became brighter and brighter.
The narrow passage suddenly turned into a huge cave here, and the first thing that caught your eye was the blue light floating between the caves. The entire cave was illuminated by the blue light, and you could see the top of the cave with stars dotted like a starry sky above your head, and the huge lake surface under your feet, which looked like a mirror.
Yes. The lower half of the entire cave is completely soaked in water, with only the isolated stone island located in the center of the lake less than 200 square meters, and a few stalagmites that occasionally pop out of the surrounding area.
When Tianyou observed this cave, the puppets around him had already walked over. It turned out that there were stones slightly higher than the water between the small island in the middle of the lake and the rock passage, forming an intermittent stone bridge. By stepping on these stones that were only the size of a manhole cover, you could reach the island in the middle of the lake.
Seeing the soldier puppet walking onto the stone bridge, Tianyou had to follow him quickly.
Because the cave is very large, the stone island in the middle of the lake is close to the opposite cave wall, so the stone bridge looks a little long. Tianyou followed the Taoist puppet, and except for occasionally paying attention to the stones under his feet, his attention never left the floating blue light balls.
At first Tianyou also noticed the light in the water, but he thought it was just a reflection, but after stepping onto the stone bridge, he found that it was not. At least not all. There were blue light balls swimming leisurely under the water, and the number was more than in the air. With this light, he found that the water surface under his feet was much deeper than he had imagined. The deepest part that could be seen in his eyes was more than ten meters, and the bottom was still pitch black and unfathomable.
Looking at the bottom of the water, Tianyou felt in a bad mood for no reason. This was his problem before traveling through time, that is, he was afraid of the deep water environment, and he always fantasized about the disgusting and terrifying monsters hidden below. Moreover, once this idea appears, it will be uncontrollable and will become more and more serious.
In order to avoid panic, Tianyou quickly diverted his attention and stopped looking into the water.
The stone bridge is still very long, and I just walked less than one-third of it. At this moment, a slightly strange-shaped archway appeared in front of me. In fact, Tianyou was not sure if this was a archway, because it looked more like the Japanese Torii.
The archways in our country are generally more luxurious, with carvings on the main pillars. The horizontal towers above not only have inscriptions, but many also have murals, and many even have colorful paint. The so-called carved beams and painted buildings probably mean this.
But the structure in front of me is obviously much simpler. It seems that two door posts support a beam, and some fine braids hang down on the beam. However, these decorations are very short. Compared to the beams four or five meters high from the water, Tianyou may not be able to jump up even if he jumps up.
While observing that Tianyou had passed the gate tower and looked into the distance, he soon saw the second gate tower. It was on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake. Unlike the first gate tower inserted in the water, it stood directly on the island.
Tianyou, who was observing the gatehouse, suddenly heard a sound of water. He immediately turned his head and looked at it, but only saw a circle of ripples that were rapidly expanding. It was not the sound of dripping water, but the sound of something underwater stirring the water surface.
Tianyou, who was already a little scared of the dark waters, suddenly felt a little furious, and his steps began to speed up unconsciously, trying to get close to the Taoist puppet in front of him. However, as his pace accelerated, the sound underwater became clearer. Tianyou could already confirm that a huge thing was approaching him underwater, and the speed was getting faster and faster. At this time, you could see the tracks of gathering waves on the water surface.
"Hey." Tianyou had stopped and was alert in the direction of the water wave. He loudly reminded the Taoist soldiers puppet in front of him to pay attention. However, the Taoist soldiers puppet was a puppet after all, and it had no ability to think. It had no response to Tianyou's shouting and still walked forward on its own.
Tianyou took a look and found that the Taoist puppet had no intention of stopping. He thought about it and gave up his defensive posture and rushed to chase him.
The object underwater can already see a huge black outline. The shadow looks like a fish, but it is very large, with at least two train sheaths. It twists the body quickly approaches, and it changes its movement trajectory as Tianyou moves. It is obviously locking the target and rushing towards it.
"Hey, do you care about anything under the water?" Tianyou couldn't help but remind the soldier puppet again, but the result was still.
The monsters in the water were getting faster and faster, and the distance was closer to ten meters. The huge black shadow suddenly accelerated and broke out of the water, and rushed towards Tianyou with a splash of water.
It's already this time, how could Tianyou dare to count on the useless Taoist puppet in front of him? Seeing the angle of the monster leaping, Tianyou quickly jumped backwards with a large distance. When he turned over and landed, he had already bowed the full moon and aimed at the head of the monster flying out of the water.
Although the monster had already emerged from the water, the Taoist puppet in front still walked forward without any awareness. Because Tianyou jumped out of the attack range, the only target that the monster could attack was left.
Calculating the advance amount, Tianyou seized the opportunity and pulled the spreader in his hand. The bowstring was tense instantly, and the huge force pushed the aggravated heavy armor-breaking arrow and broke through the air with a scream.
However, an arrow that came in advance had an accident. It was not Tianyou's mistake, but a real accident.
First, there was the ugly monster fish flying out of the water. The opened bloody mouth suddenly hit a circle of blue arcs that suddenly lit up. The jumping electric arc formed a transparent curtain wall outside the stone bridge like a corridor underwater of the aquarium. The strange fish jumped out of the water was blocked. Moreover, the curtain wall seemed to be sticky, and the strange fish shone with revenge blue arcs. The seemingly ferocious monster fish now struggled desperately like a little girl caught by a villain, but could not break free. They could only twitch and twist under the arc.
The blue curtain wall not only blocked the monster fish, but also blocked Tianyou's flying arrow. The armor-breaking arrow with an advance amount did not hit the monster fish. After flying for a distance, it hit a slightly further curtain wall. Then it seemed like it hit the bulletproof glass. The armor-breaking arrow actually bounced, and was shaken and then flew forward in the direction of the passage.
At the island in the middle of the lake, under the second archway, a man in black reached out to grab the flying arrow like lightning, but when his fingers were tightened, he accidentally grabbed the air.
