Chapter 17 Distress at the Bottom of the Pool
Yue Zun, who sneaked into Huqiu, dared not use flashlight lighting, afraid that the light of the flashlight would alarm the personnel on duty of the scenic spot. Although there are no stars and no moon tonight, Yue Zun can still clearly see the surrounding scenery. Thanks to the increasingly serious optical pollution of the city, the whole night sky has been printed red, and the light is projected on the ground. The visibility is not much better than that of a bright moon.
In addition, Yue Zun's spiritual consciousness can more or less improve his night vision ability. Although his vision cannot be compared with the day, it is not far away. Not to mention Ji Ling and Little Lori, they saw it more clearly than Yue Zun.
Before long, a group of three mice touched the thousand-year-old pagoda Yun'an Temple, which had been tilted 2.34 meters, near the left, on the edge of the sword pool. Yue Zun leaned on the guardrail and looked down. He saw a clear water with blue waves and scales, and the water was covered with a layer of water vapor, and a faint chill came to his face.
The entrance to Helu's tomb is in the north of the bottom of the pool. In the 1950s, in order to dredge the sword pool, the government drained the pool water, and then found that there was a tunnel more than ten feet long in the north of the bottom of the pool. The mouth of the tunnel is triangular, and the two walls are slightly convex but generally neat brown rocks. Among them, the west wall is almost upright, the west wall is almost upright, and the east wall is obliquely and finally "meal" with the west wall.
"Will it be too cold in this weather? It's still so dark below. I'm a little afraid!" Little Lori blinked her eyes and patted her chest to show that she was really afraid of going into the water. As she patted her chest, there was a stormy wave in her chest, which rippled for a long time. Unfortunately, Yue Zun saw it, and his face turned red.
"You two wait here for a moment and wait for the poor monk to go into the water to find out about the situation at the bottom of the pool before making a decision." Master Jiling really loves the younger generation, which shows the high style of the predecessors. Yue Zun didn't agree. He thought that these two people, one was an old man and the other was a girl. There was no reason for a good young man to watch on it and let them go into the water to inquire, right? When he put forward his opinion, he responded with two contemptuous eyes. Er, he forgot that compared with the two people in front of him, he was a waste.
The three of them have seen each other and argued on the pool. Er, in fact, the meaning of little Lori is also to go down from the silent spirit. She has known from her parents that the silent spirit is capable, and she knows that this old monk is the strongest of the three. Who else can let him do this dirty work? Of course, the possibility of being careful about future marriage partners cannot be ruled out.
At this time, Yue Zun suddenly thought that he had always habitually hiding behind others and being protected. This was the case when the cat was around.
It was not until the cat was finally captured that he didn't know how to stand up, but it was so powerless. That day, in the face of the person who claimed to be a "spirit of war", he was not an enemy at all. If you keep retreating, when will you be able to find and defeat the unfathomable "war spirit" and take back the cat?
At this time, it may be dangerous to explore the way, or it may not be dangerous, but if you don't even have the courage to go into the water, how can you be self-improvement? How can you have the courage to stand in front of a strong enemy again when you find the "war spirit" in the future?
Thinking of this, Yue Zun no longer argued with Ji Ling and Little Lori. He crossed his heart, held his breath, and jumped into the pool. With a splash, the splash is very low, and the diving posture is very professional, clean and neat, and there is no lack of beauty.
As soon as he entered the water, he suddenly felt a chill, and Yue Zun couldn't help shivering. Just gritted his teeth and deliberately ignored the physical pain. The sword pool was one foot deep, and the surface of the pool was nearly two feet from the ground. Yue Zun's vision was already very dark at the beginning of the water. Then he dived more than one meter through inertia. His eyes were dark and he couldn't see his fingers.
It is said that little Lori was shocked when Yue Jun jumped into the water without warning. Her heart is in danger. The first reaction is that you jump, and I jump too. But before she could take action, she was stopped by Jiling, who stretched out her hand and stopped her.
Little Lori saw that Ji Ling stopped her and was very anxious. She looked at Ji Ling puzzled and was about to cry. She scolded Ji Ling with a crying voice: "Master Ji Ling, why don't you let me go down? As you know, Brother Yue Zun is not spiritual now and not much better than ordinary people. What if he encounters danger underwater? After saying that, his body flashed and he wanted to go around from the edge to the water.
How good Ji Ling was? Seeing that little Lori was still unwilling, she waited for the opportunity to go into the water. Her upper body did not move. With a step under her feet, she moved two meters horizontally and stood in front of her again. She said righteously, "Amitabha! If the virtuous niece doesn't hear that the sky will bring a great responsibility to the Si people, she must first work hard, strain her muscles and bones, starve her body and skin, empty her body, and mess up what she did, so she was moved by her heart and endured, and once benefited what she could not? Although the poor monk Yue Zunxian's nephew lost his spiritual power, his spiritual source did not damage the fundamentals, and he is expected to recover in the future. Nowadays, what Yue Zunxian's nephew needs most is to temper his mind and exercise his body. The so-called 'the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the treasure blade comes from grinding'. Isn't this a good time? Care is messy, and care is messy!"
Little Lori heard Ji Ling's words and finally put out her mind about going into the water immediately, but her face was still full of worries. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at the pool, afraid that Yue Zun would have any mistakes below to rescue in time.
Under the water, it was dark and cold. Yue Zun took out the waterproof flashlight that had been prepared for a long time. With the help of the electric light, he figured out the direction and swam to the north of the bottom of the pool. At the northern end of the sword pool, he saw a cave with a depth of more than six meters and a height of three or four meters, and a width of only enough for him to swim in alone.
Soon, Yue Zun swam to the innermost part of the cave, and the height of the cave suddenly increased, like a shaft. There are six stone slabs in the front, and the color of the old plate is obviously inconsistent with the cave wall, which should be transported from elsewhere. He Lu, the king of Wu in 2500, should be sleeping behind these stone slabs.
At this point, there is no way to go and enter. Moreover, nothing bad happened. Yue Zun was ready to return first and tell the silence about the situation to see what he could do.
Just as Yue Zun turned around, he was suddenly alert. It seemed that a foreign body was rapidly approaching behind him and couldn't help turning his head, but the sight was still the same as just now. The stone slab was still those slabs, and the cave wall was still the same cave wall.
It's just that Yue Zun's spiritual sense clearly told him that something was rushing towards him at a very fast speed from the old-fashioned space. Yue Zun's heart moved and remembered the story told by Ji Ling before. Could it be...
Thinking of this, Yue Zun's heart was very cold, and he didn't care about anything else. He turned around and tried his strength to breastfeed and swam out of the cave. However, Yue Zun no longer has much hope of retreating. He stays alone underwater. The silence above and little Lori don't know what's going on below. If his conjecture is correct, he can't run away.
pedaling his legs and scratching his hands desperately. Due to the intense exercise, Yue Jun, who had not changed his breath after entering the water, felt that the air in his lungs was getting less and less, and gradually spread a feeling of being burned by fire. His heart began to beat faster, the blood in his body flowed back, and his limbs became heavier and heavier.
"You can't give up. You can't give up at any time. I should be self-reliant!" Although his consciousness has begun to be confused, Yue Zun is still cheering himself up. At this time, Yue Zun felt the continuous sound of cracking in the water, accompanied by bursts of rapids. His heart trembled and looked back. Countless swords shot out from behind the slate, and those sounds were made by the sword piercing the slate.
In the water, the sharp sword that shot quickly became closer and closer. In Yue Zun's pupils, the countless sword shadows quickly enlarged. For a moment, the one at the front was less than 10 centimeters in front of his forehead. Today, it seems that I'm going to die here..." In an instant, this thought flashed in Yue Zun's heart.
Just as Yue Zun was frustrated, a woman seemed to sigh in her ear, which seemed to be very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard the sound. Yue Zun wondered whether his brain was abnormal before his death and he had hallucinations?
When the sharp sword reached the first three centimeters of Yue Zun's forehead, Yue Zun could clearly feel the piercing chill and awe-inspiring murder from the tip of the sword. At this time, the change suddenly emerged, and Yue Zun suddenly burst into a light on his chest, quickly spread along his body, and soon wrapped the whole person in a purple aperture.
Yue Zun was shocked! This is not the breath of your own "spirit of war", but this is obviously the aura emitted from your own body, and it is not under your control. How can this happen? The cat once told herself that it is impossible for a strange spirit to have two spiritual powers at the same time. No matter how ever-changing his spiritual power can be, it can be inseparable from its family, and its essence is still the same. Finding that there was a second kind of aura hidden in his body, Yue Zun was shocked and forgot that he was still in danger.
In an instant, countless sword shadows engulfed Yue Zun, who was covered in the purple air mass. He was dense and afraid that there were not thousands of ancient swords, concentrated in a person-sized space. From a distance, it looked like a hedgehog.
At this time, two spiritual lights in the south rushed to the center of the hedgehog. A small gap was opened by a dense sphere composed of ancient swords, but soon, the flying ancient sword turned its direction and filled the gap again.
Yue Zun, who was trapped in the center, was moved. It was known that Ji Ling and Little Lori must have noticed the abnormal situation underwater and rushed to save himself.
Half a minute ago, Ji Ling was still enlightening little Lori. Don't worry about Yue Zun. This time, Yue Zun went into the water, except for a little cold, nothing will happen. Because Mo Xie Sword Spirit has suppressed the evil sword spirit in the tomb for more than 2,500 years. It is impossible to catch up with this and make some mistakes.
Before he finished his words, he felt that he had detected an evil spirit, which was violent, cold and full of murderous intent. At the same time, little Lori also found a strange condition. The two looked at each other and had no time to exchange opinions, so they jumped down the sword pool and fell into the water.
After entering the water, although the waterproof flashlight was turned on in time, after all, the water is not as good as air, and the visual distance is limited, and the situation of Yue Zun cannot be seen immediately. Sensing that the evil spirit came from the north, the two of them swam to the north at the fastest speed. However, Jiling knows in his heart that he is afraid that he can't catch up with it. Yue Zun should have been more or less lucky...
When this unknown idea flashed in the heart of the silent spirit, another aura fluctuation suddenly came from the north. It is different from the evil spirit that existed before, and it is not like the evil sword spirit that little Lori described before, which has a fierce spirit and no evil spirit, nor will it be Yue Zun. The original "war spirit" breath, the strangest thing, this aura actually gives the silent spirit a sense of déjà vu!
