Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Lake Underground

Zha Wenbin touched the nose of the three-legged toad. He seemed to like touching the nose of this ridiculously big toad. Perhaps, from the bottom of his heart, he really regarded it as his friend.He sighed and said: "Forget it, forget it, buddy, let's continue on our way, the old rules, if there is something wrong, you remind me, next time you are not allowed to wait until I am in danger before making a move, or you will lose me, who cares?" I'll open the door for you again." After speaking, he patted the bridge of its nose lightly as a sign of punishment. The toad puffed out its belly and gave a "croak", which was considered to have complied with his request. The two walked along the wet cave, walking unhappily, one behind the other, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

This passage is winding and winding, no more than two meters wide and three meters high. Although there are many traces of artificial excavation and paving along the way, it is unknown whether it has been in disrepair for a long time or is often washed by groundwater, and many places are already full of rocks.Zha Wenbin was able to leave, but it was a pain for the three-legged toad. If it weren't for this guy's rough skin and thick flesh, he might have been scratched and bruised all over his body. Cha Wenbin had to stop often to wait for it, or to help move some gravel. This process was much slower than before, and with his feet soaked in the water, Cha Wenbin's calf gradually became numb, but now he had to Gritting his teeth, he insisted on walking in.Judging from the terrain, they were always going up, and the power supply provided by the spotlight became dim again, telling him that the time he could last was running out, so he patted the two sets of batteries left in the bag, Zha Wenbin reckoned that if he hadn't reached the end after walking for a while, he could only turn back.

Along the way, five more bronze trees were found one after another, and there were more or less skeletons under each tree. It has been more than three miles and no new trees have appeared yet.Zha Wenbin thought that since it was a sacrificial place, the place where the blood was collected should not be far from the altar, otherwise the basin of blood would have solidified if taken over, which is a great disrespect to the gods in the blood sacrifice.I didn't find anything about ghosts along the way, except for the echo of my own footsteps, there was nothing else. He also tried his best to choose to cross some rocks out of the water, which can save a lot of physical strength. Traveling in low temperature consumes a lot of heat energy of the human body. In this passage, except for one or two small salamanders passing by occasionally, it is a kind of no-brainer. Small fish with eyes.Cha Wenbin thought that if he was really hungry, he could just catch some small fish to satisfy his hunger. In this wilderness, he didn't pay much attention to it. His main purpose now was to survive, get out of this area safely, and then follow the Chao Zi met and took Pharaoh and the others to the hospital.

After walking for a while, he heard the sound of water flowing in his ears. Cha Wenbin quickened his pace unconsciously. After passing through several piles of rocks, he finally saw a huge underground lake again. Taking advantage of the rest time, Zha Wenbin was going to change the battery. He didn't want to throw away the old one. He just put it in his bag. Before he could install the new battery, he heard a "plop" and was splashed all over his face. splashes.He quickly turned on the spotlight and looked around, only to find that the three-legged toad had disappeared. Looking up carefully, I saw a ripple in the water, and a yellow figure floated up with a "huh", good guy, isn't that the three-legged toad?Ganqing has not been in the water for a long time, can you not be excited to see such a large lake all of a sudden?Watching the three-legged toad paddling in the lake a few times, and then swimming towards the shore, Cha Wenbin was about to pat the tip of its nose, but when he lowered his head, he saw the scene he least wanted to see: the bones were densely packed The ground covered the entire bottom of the water, like a road, overlapping with each other and spreading to the distance. As far as the eye could see, there was a piece of glistening white, which was exactly the same as the cold pool of bones under the ancient well.

Zha Wenbin squatted down and took a closer look. The difference from the pool in front was that the bones here were much larger and thicker, and they were basically animals, especially the horns of sheep and cows, because the water surface was not pure. It was still, so he couldn't tell how many kinds of animals there were here. Although it was certain that it was not human, it still looked very eye-catching. Reminiscent of the bronze trees used to take blood outside, Cha Wenbin guessed that this was almost the altar.It seems that most of these animals were tributes used to sacrifice to the gods in the past. Looking at the piles of bones, one can imagine how grand the sacrifice scene was.

The three-legged toad jumped out of the water and squatted beside Zha Wenbin. His body, which had been re-wetted by the water, regained its previous vigor and spirit, and its pair of eyes became brighter.It made Cha Wenbin say: "Dude, did you let me in just to take you to take a shower?" The toad obviously disdained his villainous thinking, "croaked", jumped into the water again, and gave Cha Wenbin another chill.When it got out of the water again, it just floated quietly on the water facing Cha Wenbin. Seeing that Cha Wenbin didn't move for a long time, the toad swam forward for a short distance, swam back to him again, and turned around a bit. lock up.

Although Zha Wenbin doesn't understand the toad language, he still cooperated a little tacitly along the way. Looking at the behavior of the three-legged toad, Zha Wenbin asked: "Dude, don't you want me to sit on your back?" Bar?" The three-legged toad kicked its hind legs in the water, and called out, "Guagua." Zha Wenbin was sweating coldly on his forehead. He had seen someone riding a buffalo playing in the river before. This one riding a toad... Anyway, there's no one here, so let's try at worst, what if it really came to carry me?If not, just take a shower.Seeing that the three-legged toad hadn't moved for a long time, Cha Wenbin jumped down, just right on its neck.The three-legged toad's body was quite strong, but it was a bit slippery. Fortunately, Cha Wenbin reacted quickly and hugged its neck tightly so that he didn't fall off.

After he struggled a few times, he was finally able to barely sit still, and the three-legged toad kicked three legs, and it really carried him slowly towards the center of the lake.The more you go to the middle, the shallower the depth of the water is. This is completely beyond Cha Wenbin's expectations. Because of the current, the middle of a general lake is always the deepest. It's good here, this is the shallowest place for Cha Wenbin It is estimated that it is even up to his neck. Finally, they arrived at a place that seemed to be in the middle. The strange thing about this center was that there were no more bones. Cha Wenbin looked around and found that there were a total of five such bone passages extending from here to five directions.One of them leads to where they came from, and the remaining four should also reach their respective edges.

These five bone channels coincidentally keep a distance of about five meters from the middle, leaving a small circular water area here. What puzzled Cha Wenbin was, where is the source of this water?Because there is no sign of water flow in the surrounding area, there are bare stone walls all around, the top of the head is relatively high, and it is dark, and there is no hole in it. If you can’t find the source, it means that you may have gone to the end. up. Just as I was thinking about it, my calf, which was numb due to soaking in water for too long, suddenly felt a little warm, and that feeling became stronger and stronger, as if someone was gently stroking it, which was very comfortable.It was only when his nerves began to recover that he realized the strangeness.That is not someone's touch, but from the water!

He bent down and tried it with his hands. Sure enough, the water temperature here was a little higher than outside, and it was still gurgling upwards. Cha Wenbin carefully watched the changes in the water lines under his feet. Some impurities were surging upwards. .He realized immediately, this is an underground fountain!And it's a hot spring.It's just because there is no light here all year round, and the indoor temperature is too low, so the heat has cooled before it reaches the edge, and you will never feel it if you don't come to the middle. "Dude, can you take me for a walk outside?" Cha Wenbin said softly as he pressed the three-legged toad's head.

As soon as his body moved, the three-legged toad carried Cha Wenbin to swim towards the opposite side. The change in the water temperature under his feet confirmed his guess. When he reached the edge, it was that bitingly cold again. The three-legged toad carried him around this After walking around the lake, which is the size of two football fields, he returned to the center of the lake without waiting for Cha Wenbin's orders. After this lap, Zha Wenbin had a general understanding of this place.Taking the position where he is standing now as the center, there is a warm water fountain below which is constantly spraying water upwards, and the water then spreads around, providing water for the entire lake.The lake is close to a relatively regular circle, and it seems to be formed naturally. There are five white lines piled up with animal bones extending to the middle, but each stops at a position five meters away from the center. The most clever thing about Cha Wenbin is his brain's image processing ability, just closed his eyes, and the floor plan of the entire lake has appeared in his mind. Slowly, he took out something from the gossip bag, and watched it for a long time without looking away... The wheel-shaped utensil in his hand has a small solid circle in the middle, connected to the big circle outside by five bronze pillars. This is what he found in the tenth coffin under the ancient well, and it is the only one that the living dead man brought with him. funeral objects. Originally, Cha Wenbin hoped to take it out for Lao Wang to study, so he kept it in his bag. In Cha Wenbin's eyes, this unusual thing should represent the sun, so he called it the sun wheel.In that coffin, it symbolizes the sun, that is, the heaven, and it is by relying on it that the last link of the super array that jumps out of the three realms and is not in the five elements is achieved: the heaven. But at this moment, the floor plan of this underground lake in his mind actually told him that this is another sun wheel that has been magnified many times. The five roads made of animal bones are the five bronze rods on the disc. According to the previous judgment, these should symbolize the sun's rays, and evenly divide the lake into five equal parts.And the place in the middle where the hot spring comes out is the small solid circle of the disc in the hand, and the outer circle is the outermost circle of the disc. The difference between the two is nothing more than size and material.One is made of bronze, and the other is made of natural waters.In terms of shape alone, the two are exactly the same.It is relatively simple to say that the bronze sun wheel is divided into five equal circles because of its small size, but this is a complete water area, and it was divided into five parts by five piles of bones. In ancient times without aerial photography and measuring instruments, Almost an impossible task. Riding on the back of the three-legged toad, Cha Wenbin carefully studied the humble bronze object in his hand for the first time.Purely in terms of workmanship, if the precisely calculated area division is excluded, it is not even as exquisite as those bronze coffins.From the material point of view, this is just an ordinary bronze object, which is heavy in the hand. After repeated observations, except for a small depression on the solid disc, there was no trace of patterns or inscriptions. It was this small depression that made him more interested. What if this depression represents the hot spring water outlet at the foot?Cha Wenbin stopped thinking about it, patted the tip of the three-legged toad's nose, turned over, and fell into the water. The water here was deeper than he had imagined, and he failed to reach the bottom several times, so he had to support the body of the three-legged toad and step on the water there. The light from the spotlights didn't penetrate the entire bottom of the water, because the water sprayed upwards, and I couldn't see it clearly. It seemed that my understanding of this water area was still a bit off.It is indeed getting shallower as it gets closer to the middle, but as the bones disappear, the water suddenly deepens again. It seems that the amount of water below this place will not be so small, at least some time ago, that such an underwater landform will be formed. . After trying to put all the things on his body together, and tied the tie of the Qiankun bag to ensure that it would not deviate, Zha Wenbin took a deep breath, and plunged into the water with a slam.Because the water flow here is from bottom to top, and people themselves have buoyancy, every time they dive less than two meters, they can no longer continue, and the further down they feel, the greater the buoyancy.He tried several times and was exhausted, so he had to give up. Looking around, except for the piles of bones, there are only some small pebbles, not even a heavy stone. Regarding the judgment of the depression in the middle of the disc in his heart, Cha Wenbin always felt that he would not take a look. There will be some regrets.As he was holding the three-legged toad to breathe, he suddenly thought, this guy is proficient in water, I don't know if it can take him down?Swimming up to the three-legged toad, Cha Wenbin lightly stroked its nose and said flatteringly, "Dude, can you take me to the bottom of the water for a try?" Before he could make any preparations, the three-legged toad sank, and most of its body was submerged in the water. Cha Wenbin turned over when he saw the opportunity, and hugged its neck tightly.With a kick of the three-legged toad's strong thigh, it instantly separated the water on both sides and continued to dive downward. At first, because of the impurities and air bubbles in the water, Cha Wenbin couldn't even open his eyes. He just felt that the temperature of the surrounding water was gradually rising, and the buoyancy was also increasing. He had to hold on to the three-legged toad to continue.When he felt that there was a buzzing in his ears, which meant that the depth here had reached the maximum that a person could bear in an unprotected state, he tried to open his eyes again. With the light of the spotlight, they seemed to have reached the bottom of the water, and the warm skin told him that the temperature here was at least 30 degrees Celsius.I don't know if they stopped their movements or the water quality here is better, but he can already roughly see things within a three-meter range. The eyes of the three-legged toad were glowing green like the bottom of the water, and it was this ray of light that gave him a temporary sense of security. Looking around, it seemed that there was a relatively flat ground under his feet, and the heat waves bubbling up from the water Looking at it, the water outlet didn't seem to be as big as he imagined, so he searched around. On the ground not more than one meter away from the three-legged toad, there were a few smooth black objects, and the water hole should be there.He urged the three-legged toad to move over there, but the toad did not move several times in a row, and could not communicate in words underwater. Cha Wenbin could only try his best to touch its nose with his hands, and then pointed One meter ahead.The three-legged toad seemed reluctant, and finally walked forward, but with this movement, the environment in the water also changed.All kinds of dust from the bottom of the water were lifted up, blurring his vision for a moment. The deeper the water is, the greater the consumption of oxygen. It has been almost two minutes since he entered the water. He felt that he was about to be unable to hold on, so he had to clamp the toad's belly between his legs. The three-legged toad was very cooperative this time. , push hard, and float towards the water surface. Before leaving, taking this opportunity, Cha Wenbin finally saw clearly that under the bottom of the water, there was a picture of eight trigrams lying impressively, with black and white stones forming two fishes of yin and yang. The position he saw There is a water outlet hole the size of a washbasin, and in the blurred vision, it seems that there is another hole where the toad stayed just now. Before he could observe in the future, the three-legged toad had already brought him out of the water and surfaced.Cha Wenbin took a deep breath of fresh air, and it took him a while to recover. In his mind, it seemed that there was a strip-shaped thing between the hole that he saw later and the hole he saw first. What exactly was it? , can no longer be seen clearly. Hunger and severe lack of physical strength are the biggest problems encountered now. After such a toss, even if he had the best energy, Zha Wenbin lost seven points. He lay on the back of the three-legged toad for a long time before he could barely Some recovery.The gossip diagram in my mind is very neat, and the distinction between yin and yang is impeccable.He told himself to go to see it again, for the last time, no matter what the result was, he would immediately find another way out. Sticking to the head of the three-legged toad, Zha Wenbin said softly: "Man, let's go down again, can you just take me to the point where we came up?" "Guagua", the three-legged toad dived one by one, this time faster than the previous one, and when he felt that he had reached the bottom, Zha Wenbin searched again. Sure enough, beside him, there was a cuboid thing placed there, in terms of size and shape, it really looked like a coffin, but the material looked a bit like stone, but what made him more excited was the random groping with his hands Underneath, he felt a depression on the back of the long stone, and this depression gave him a natural reaction, or an involuntary reaction. Under the water, Cha Wenbin took out the sun wheel from the Qiankun bag again, without any warning or making any gestures, he put the sun wheel in his hand towards the depression. A few centimeters away from the depression, the sun wheel seemed to be sucked by the depression on the stone, and it detached from Cha Wenbin's hand with a "swish", and firmly stuck to the depression, "pop" With a bang, the bronze wheel seemed to be connected to the depression like a magnet. The two matched seamlessly, and the entire feldspar statue finally returned to its original appearance! When the bronze wheel in his hand was released, Cha Wenbin woke up like a dream, and was about to reach out to grab it, but felt that the bronze wheel had been firmly fixed on the feldspar, and the changes waiting for him were far more than that... What caught people off guard was that the surrounding water temperature dropped instantly.Human skin is very sensitive to changes in temperature. Cha Wenbin couldn't help shivering underwater, and only then did he realize that the situation had changed.Then, something even more unexpected happened, the buoyancy of the water disappeared instantly, and the surrounding water began to rush towards him crazily, and a huge vortex was gradually forming. What made Cha Wenbin feel that he was going straight down was that he was already spinning with the current, and the movement was getting louder and louder. His body in the water could no longer control himself, so he could only instinctively hug the boulder. Blank. In the confusion, he saw that the huge body of the three-legged toad was also spinning around with the current, and its three legs kicked helplessly in the air.After choking on an unknown amount of water, Cha Wenbin completely lost consciousness. There were bursts of crying in his ears, and Cha Wenbin tried to open his eyes. He saw a man wearing a golden mask standing on a red boulder, holding a golden stick in his right hand, and muttering words. At the feet of the golden mask, there are a large number of strong, bare-chested men. On both sides, there are people holding bronze vessels on the boulder, and then dumping something into a yellow jade coffin.Red, what they poured in is red, is that blood? Cha Wenbin tried hard to find where he was. He wanted to see clearly what was inside the jade coffin, but found that no matter how much he urged his thoughts, his body could not move. Just when this kind of self-struggle entered a stalemate, The golden mask turned his head, and Cha Wenbin clearly saw a trace of strangeness in his eyes, which made him even feel fear and despair, and he couldn't escape no matter what he wanted to escape. When the golden mask started to approach him, the scene changed, and he came to the top of the jade coffin, and the lid of the coffin was still on the side.Suddenly, the red blood in the coffin rolled, and a person's face gradually emerged from the water, his facial features became more and more clear, until Zha Wenbin saw it clearly, and suddenly found that the person was himself! "Ah!" A shrill cry resounded throughout the valley. When he opened his eyes again, he only felt that the surroundings were so light, and the previous pressure was completely gone. He tried to move his joints, and his fingers were the first to respond. Ice cold, this is the only feeling after waking up, that kind of cold comes from the palm of the hand, seeps into the limbs and bones.Cha Wenbin subconsciously withdrew his palm and touched his forehead. The sweat on his face was also cold.The lower part of the body was hard and a bit harsh. When I touched it with my hand, it felt like a stone, that kind of pebble. Cha Wenbin let out a long breath, it turned out to be a dream.He shook his head vigorously, struggling to support his body.With thinking and observation, he found that he was no longer in the water.The spotlight above his head was still on, and the quality of German-made products was good. The bright light told him that the battery was still sufficient, and it seemed that he hadn't slept for a long time. But where is this?His whole body was as if he had just been picked up from the water. The wet clothes and hair told him that he was indeed underwater, but where is the water now?I was clearly at the bottom of the lake, but after putting down the sun wheel, the vortex came, and then I didn't remember anything. By the way, what about the three-legged toad?Cha Wenbin found that the toad was not around, and shouted: "Man, where are you?" There was no response, and he shouted a few more times, but there was still no response. Cha Wenbin thought, might it be washed away by the current? up?But the area of ​​this lake is not big, even if it is scattered, it will not be too far away. Besides, with the physique of that toad, he is not dead, so it will have something to do? Sure enough, there was a sound of "cracking" sand and stones not far away. Following the sound, he found that not far from him, small sand and stones were flying, and a small hill was shaking non-stop. After a while, a The golden back has been exposed, and the seven conspicuous bumps make Cha Wenbin very happy. After the sand and stones on his head were shaken off, the guy finally agreed with a "cuckoo". It also found Cha Wenbin's position, kicked hard, jumped high and landed beside Cha Wenbin.Touching the bridge of the three-legged toad's nose, Cha Wenbin felt that he had walked out of the dream. It seemed that it was buried by sand and stones. How come there is no water in such a huge lake in an instant?The sand and stones with water stains under his feet told himself that not long ago, this place was still a vast ocean, and the hot spring here was bubbling hot water, and in a blink of an eye, the sea has changed into a mulberry field. Cha Wenbin looked at the three-legged toad, and it seemed hopeless to expect it to answer this question. Even if it understood, he couldn't understand it, but how could he dream of such a strange scene?Just as I was thinking about it, I felt a burst of coldness coming from my buttocks, which was very similar to the feeling on my hands before.Looking back, there was a fluorescent jade coffin behind him, and Cha Wenbin immediately stepped back. Isn't this what he saw in his dream?And on the back of the jade coffin, there was something he was very familiar with: a bronze sun wheel! The first image that popped up in his mind about this jade coffin was the last scene in the dream, where he was lying in it.And it is a man wearing a golden mask who dominates all of this, who is that man?In my memory, I have never encountered such a person.Thinking of this, Cha Wenbin casually took out the stick from the three-legged toad from his bag, and looked carefully, and sure enough, it was this thing! "Crack!" The stick in his hand fell to the ground, how could this happen?Both things in the dream are real, what about those kneeling people?What about the red boulder?And what about that golden mask?The most important thing is the self soaked in blood in the coffin, do these also exist?He didn't dare to think about it anymore, he just wanted to leave here quickly, picked up the stick on the ground in a hurry, turned around and wanted to leave.But the bronze wheel I brought was still embedded in the jade coffin, so I wanted to take it off. There is a circular depression on the back of the jade coffin, which was carved using the technique of Yin carving. This depression seems to be completely carved according to the size of the bronze wheel, so the two fit together seamlessly.But this time it wasn't as hard to hold as in the water, just lifted it casually, and the thing rose up. The jade material used in this jade coffin should be of the highest quality. Under the illumination of spotlights, the light can penetrate part of the jade, allowing Cha Wenbin to see a black shadow under the coffin lid, which is still trembling slightly. , I don't know if it is liquid or it is alive at all. Cha Wenbin is not afraid of ghosts, ghosts are just a common occurrence for him, what he is afraid of is the dream, because dreams are often a reminder to people, if you know that there is a landmine with a lead wire buried in a jar, open the lid and you will be killed. It will explode if you pull the string, will you still pull it?I think most people will choose to give up. It's like Pandora's box. It may be out of control after it is opened, and let it lie there quietly, but it is unscathed. He took off the bronze wheel and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly there was a loud "rumbling" sound from his side, the ground under his feet began to tremble unceasingly, and gravel continued to fall from above his head. "Earthquake?" This was the first reaction in Cha Wenbin's mind. There have been many earthquakes in Sichuan since ancient times. This is the second time after going down the well. , and immediately returned. The shaking around continued, and Cha Wenbin felt that his body was gradually rising for some reason, and the reference objects that were originally at the same level as his line of sight began to lower, and when he looked down, a huge red rock was pressing against himself and three people. Zuchan and the jade coffin slowly ascended, isn't this stone the one seen in the dream?Is the golden mask also appearing?Before he had time to think about it, Zha Wenbin could clearly hear the ghostly cry of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up" with the sound of howling rocks. more and more intense. Mochizuki Kazuki and the old man Zhuo were kayaking in another river, when suddenly the river began to churn, the mountain began to shake, the small kayak was almost overturned, and the four of them had to lie on the boat to protect their bodies as much as possible Among the easily injured parts, Mochizuki's back was hit by a few falling rocks. Fortunately, they were not very big, but it was a bit painful. Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong were sleeping soundly, but they were suddenly awakened by the shaking. They were shocked, and what made them even more at a loss was that a huge crack had spread under their feet... The surrounding rocks began to peel off continuously, but fortunately, those stones fell on his surroundings no matter what, and none of them fell around the jade coffin. It seemed that there was a force in the dark protecting this place. in a small place.Cha Wenbin tried his best to stabilize his figure. When the boulder rose to about two meters high, there was a "bang" sound, and a hole was cracked in the originally solid rock above his head, and then gradually stopped. When the movement around him gradually stopped, Zha Wenbin got up, looked up, and a bright light appeared faintly, "Light!" Zha Wenbin shouted. If you stay in the dark for a long time, your eyesight will naturally improve, but suddenly seeing the natural light will inevitably be dazzling, but the light at this moment is no less than three days hungry, and suddenly someone puts a plate of braised pork in front of you . Zha Wenbin has been looking for a way out ever since he got down the ancient well, and at this moment he just jumped out of an opening. The excitement was indescribable, and he couldn't help temporarily forgetting everything around him when he shouted. Even Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong, who were awakened by the earthquake, could hear this cry clearly, the voice came from below the crack.The two looked at each other, and Chaozi asked in disbelief: "Brother Wenbin?" Zhuo Xiong kept nodding his head, perhaps because he was too excited, and only the voice of "um, um, um" remained in his mouth. Chaozi stared wide-eyed, grabbed Zhuo Xiong's shoulder, shook it vigorously, and shouted, "Really Brother Wen Bin? Is he down there?" "It's him, it's Brother Wenbin's voice! He's still alive!" Zhuo Xiong was also extremely excited, and took the lead in shouting into the crack: "Brother Wenbin!" Cha Wenbin, who was looking up at the light, suddenly felt that someone was calling him, so he looked around. There was no one else around except the three-legged toad, but the voice was indeed calling his name, which was quite familiar. "Brother Wenbin? Are you down there?" This was Chaozi's voice.Cha Wenbin could hear clearly now, it was that kid He Yichao who was calling him, could it be that they were on top?Cha Wenbin was overjoyed, and covered his mouth with his hands as if to amplify: "Chaozi, is that you?" This time, the two people above had such a good time, that's right, it was indeed Cha Wenbin!Originally, Chaozi thought that he would have drowned even if he didn't fall to his death. He was emotionally shocked and immediately came back to his senses. He wished he could jump down immediately and shouted: "It's us! Come down and look for him immediately." You!" After that, he immediately dug out the bundle of climbing ropes, found a big tree nearby and tied them, and threw the other end of the rope into the crack. Zha Wenbin saw a long rope descending from the crack, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face. People miss the group especially when they are alone, and now the three brothers can fight side by side again.Cha Wenbin, who only cared about this touch of joy, didn't notice any changes around him, and his eyes were fixed on the gap. Because of Gujing's lesson last time, Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong decided to go down with only one person this time. There was almost no room for negotiation on the selection of the candidate, and He Yichao decided to go down to find his brother Wen Bin.It's not that Zhuo Xiong doesn't want to go down, in fact, he also wants to, but he understands the importance of Cha Wenbin to He Yichao, so he doesn't argue anymore. Chao Zi, who was carrying some emergency supplies, grabbed the climbing rope and squeezed in through the crack that just accommodated one person with a "chuck". Cha Wenbin, who was below, vaguely saw a figure, recognized the boy, and shouted: "Chaozi, slow down!" At this time, the three-legged toad next to him suddenly shouted: "Guagua!" This guy won't bark if he is fine. There was also a crack about several meters wide on the ground, and what surprised him even more was that a stone step extended along the crack. And at this moment, the position where I am standing is the entrance of the stone steps. I do not know when two huge bronze pillars were erected beside me. On the other side, looking at that position, it looks like the entrance that is vaguely seen. A huge bronze chain is tied to each pillar, and the other end of the chain is submerged from both sides of the steps, and it is impossible to see where it leads to. What surprised him even more was that the two pillars are connected to two electric motors now. Usually, it keeps spinning, and the chain in the steps is constantly being recycled, as if it is pulling something here. There were also faint roaring sounds from the steps, and the sound was getting louder and louder, as if something came out of it with the water flowing and roared towards the ground. Cha Wenbin, who realized that the situation was not good, quickly drooped Chaozi shouted: "Don't get off, hurry up for me!" Chaozi could hear his shouts, the crack on the top of his head was only seventy or eighty meters above the ground, and he was almost at the bottom right now, so he simply pretended not to hear him, he knew every warning Cha Wenbin gave All mean danger.He had already missed it once, and Chaozi didn't want to miss it again. Being able to face the danger together with Cha Wenbin was the only way for him to make up for the regret of the last time, so he accelerated the speed of his descent, and he had already landed in the blink of an eye. Looking at Cha Wenbin's light, he ran over. Chaozi shouted while running: "Brother Wenbin, I see you." He only saw Cha Wenbin not far away shaking his hands vigorously at him, thinking he was greeting him, so he couldn't help speeding up. Zha Wenbin looked at the boy, and then at the steps in front of him. The rumbling sound became louder and louder. Finally, when Chaozi was only five meters away from him, there was a "boom", and a stream of clear water gushed out. Not only that, a snow-white wooden boat soared into the sky facing the spray, gliding straight forward, and flew towards the position where Cha Wenbin was standing. With a sound of "click", the two bronze pillars finally stopped rotating, and the white wooden boat seemed to have lost its power, and finally stopped suddenly less than one centimeter away from the red boulder, and just placed it on Chawen In front of Bin. If Mochizuki Kazuki was here at this moment, he would definitely pee his pants in fright. He can recognize this thing, and he has suffered enough. Yes, it is the "Snow Cypress" boat they saw in the river on the right , and the canopy on the top is still open, not closed. Cha Wenbin stood tall, so he could see clearly. He didn't need to approach like them. He had already seen it right now. The face was exactly the same as what he saw in his dream. A person wearing a golden mask was approaching Lie in it! Only this time, unlike what Mochizuki and the others saw, there was something extra on board.what?a sail!Said it was a sail, and it wasn't a sail, because no one would make a ship's sail like that. The whole body of this sail is white, as if it is woven with silk, and it is cut and assembled into a long strip with a width of 50 centimeters and a length of about 1.5 meters. On this long strip of sails, a triangular black cloth head is inlaid on the upper end, and a triangular black cloth head is inlaid on the lower side. There are five finger-shaped black ears on the upper part, jagged black ears on the lower part of the middle part, and white tassels hanging on the bottom.There are a few symbols painted on the body of the sail, the symbols are characters, he recognizes them, they are exactly the ones seen on the General Temple, and also on the bronze coffin, they are all of the same kind. Not only did he recognize the source of this character, but he also recognized the source of this sail!It is not so much a sail as a "flank"!He has several of these things in his pocket, but they are much smaller in size. They are usually used to attract souls and ghosts, and they are also called "spirit calling banners"!A large banner of this shape would never be used if it wasn't for a dead person's funeral. The sudden appearance of this wooden boat with the "soul-calling banner" upright will definitely not do anything good! Even the three-legged toad, which has always had nothing to do with itself, is quite disturbed at the moment, and it keeps screaming "cack, croak", obviously it knows how powerful this thing is.Cha Wenbin was about to touch its nose, trying to calm it down.木船背后一个巨大的黑色身影缓缓升起，一对铜铃大小的眼睛正盯着查文斌。超子被眼前的这一幕惊呆了，文斌哥在这下面到底是在闹哪样啊，怎么这么个玩意儿也被整出来了，木船是什么他不认得，可那个黑影他超子绝对不会忘记，正是那条追逐三足蟾的蕲蛇。修蛇的尸体是超子亲眼所见，没想到在这儿还遇上了，真是不是冤家不聚首！ 蕲蛇已经做好了攻击准备，上半身完全弓成了“S”形，不停吐着蛇芯子的大嘴已经微微张启，查文斌一看那菱形图案，也明白是那东西，还没等他来得及跳下石头，蕲蛇已经动了，箭一般朝着他射了过去，不，应该说是飞了过去！蕲蛇凌空跃起，直扑查文斌！ 眼看着就要到达门面，查文斌甚至已经做好了死亡的准备，这种距离想要逃脱蕲蛇的攻击简直是天方夜谭。 忽然，那蕲蛇脑袋一偏，擦着查文斌的肩膀飞了过去，他能闻到那股风声中所夹杂着的腥臭。当意识到蕲蛇的目标不是自己的时候，转身一看，三足蟾不见了。 “文斌哥，快看，在那儿！”超子大叫道。 查文斌顺着超子的声音，只见台阶口的位置，一只金黄色的蛤蟆正对着自己。 蕲蛇一击扑空，立马调转身子，冲着三足蟾呼啸而去，地上的沙石被它打得吧啦作响。 “伙计，小心，快跑！”查文斌大喊道。“咕呱！”三足蟾回应了一声，然后就它猛地向台阶下方那黑漆漆的入口里一跳，紧接着“扑通”一声，像是入了水，后面的蕲蛇也跟着追了进去，只有他们兄弟二人跟那艘挂着“招魂幡”的“雪柏”船还留在原处…… 忽然，这空旷的废墟之中，阴风大起，招魂幡随即扬起，不断抖动着的幡身“呼呼”作响。风大得让超子睁不开眼睛，沙石迷住了视线，模糊中他看见查文斌手持长剑傲然立于巨石之巅，迎风摆动的衣角衬托着那伟岸的身躯，真有如天神一般！ 查文斌举剑自右起，在身前对着那木船缓缓划破虚空，至左边而下，形成一个虚圆。左手食指放入嘴中，狠命一咬，鲜血便滴了出来，进而在那圆中以一条“S”线将圆分成了八卦的模样。 招魂幡反而风力大盛，抖动得越发厉害，超子几乎都要站立不住，可此刻查文斌周边却无一丝风，想必是那圆起了护身的作用。 趁此间隙，他迅速从包里拿出一根蜡烛和一个小香炉，分别放在身体的两侧，以火折子点燃蜡烛后再点高香，两者同时燃起。 查文斌屹立不动，举剑向天，高声喊道：“以灯为魂，以香为魄；香灯不熄，直应天罡！太上老君急急如律令！” “轰！”一时间，那小小的蜡烛燃起的火光竟似万丈光芒，那高香一炷也似强风吹起，青烟徐徐，一时间把查文斌像是隐藏了起来，可他实际上这会儿根本停不了。尚未交手，查文斌已经知道今天遇到的是此生最强劲的对手，心中已是气血翻涌，只凭着一股正气还能勉强支撑。 憋住那口气后，不等前方有何变化，查文斌左脚踏出一步，口中喊道：“太上台星，应变无停。驱邪缚魅，保命护身。智慧明净，心神安宁。三魂永久，魄无丧倾，急急如律令！”说罢手中符纸一扬，恰好落在剑身第一颗星的位置之上，左手举起大印，厉声喝道：“北斗第一，阳明贪狼星君！现身静心，保我安宁！起！”剑身之上那张符纸果真就站立了起来。 容不得停歇，查文斌右脚再跨出第二步，剑身平上，嘴中喊道：“丹朱口神，吐秽除氛。舌神正伦，通命养神。罗千齿神，却邪卫真。喉神虎贲，炁神引津。心神丹元，令我通真。思神炼液，道气常存，急急如律令！”又是一张符纸落下，盖在了七星剑的第二颗星上，大印照旧，喝道：“北斗第二，阴精巨门星君！现身净口，保我真言！起！”第二张符纸再次站起！ 两步过后，连超子都感觉到了风力有所减小，终于能够再次睁开眼睛，看着查文斌的样子，心知他在作法，却又帮不上什么忙，见那白幡鬼气森森，就估摸着要不要一把火把它给烧了，于是便猫着腰艰难地向前走去。 查文斌可完全顾不上超子了，两步过后，左脚往回一收，再踏一步，是为天玑。宝剑也跟随往身前一拉，口中喊道：“灵宝天尊，安慰身形。弟子魂魄，五脏玄冥。青龙白虎，对仗纷纭；朱雀玄武，侍卫我真，急急如律令！”第三张符纸落下，紧贴宝剑，纹丝不动，周边依稀可见四象灵兽的幻影，虽为虚构，但也令他气势大涨。查文斌嘴中再次念叨：“北斗第三，真人禄存星君！现身净身，去我尘土！起！”第三张符纸站立起来。 右脚再次跟上，步位天权，口中念道：“元始安镇，普告万灵。岳渎真官，土地祇灵。左社右稷，不得妄惊。回向正道，内外澄清。各安方位，备守坛庭。太上有命，搜捕邪精。护法神王，保卫诵经。皈依大道，元亨利贞。急急如律令！”如法炮制的第四张符纸贴剑而上，之后便是：“北斗第四，玄冥文曲星君！现身安土！起！”第四张符纸站立。 左脚第五步，踏玉衡，咒语念道：“天地自然，秽气分散，洞中玄虚，晃朗太元。八方威神，使我自然。灵宝符命，普告九天；乾罗达那，洞罡太玄；斩妖缚邪，度人万千。中山神咒，元始玉文，持诵一遍，祛病延年；按行五岳，八海知闻；魔王束手，侍卫我轩；凶秽消散，道炁常存。急急如律令！”这咒便是净天地神咒，当年查文斌大战将军庙就是以咒化去满堂血腥，当下再念，风声已经就要停止，连那招魂幡也不摆动了。可他嘴中还未停歇：“北斗第五，元廉贞星君！现身净天！起！”“呼啦！”第五张符咒豁然立起。 眼下整柄七星剑，还剩两星未立，招魂幡就已经完全停止了摇晃，这可让何毅超大喜，他可是侦察兵出身，右手此刻已反握匕首，几个箭步便要蹿到，无奈查文斌现在无暇分身，立阵要紧，也没看见超子的动作，只是全心施法。 这等大阵，需用心血来祭，也让他必须得一心一意，一旦分心便会功亏一篑，到头来落得个神魔反噬，极有性命之忧！ 查文斌乘胜追击，第六步，踩开阳位，咒语一念：“天地玄宗，万气本根。广修亿劫，证吾神通。三界内外，惟道独尊。体有金光，覆映吾身。视之不见，听之不闻。包罗天地，养育群生。受持万遍，身有光明。三界侍卫，五帝司迎。万神朝礼，役使雷霆。鬼妖丧胆，精怪忘形。内有霹雳，雷神隐名。洞慧交彻，五炁腾腾。金光速现，覆护真人。急急如律令！” 咒语刚落，外面“轰隆”一声雷鸣，正在洞上的卓雄也给吓了一跳，蕲封山上“咔嚓”一道闪电落下，不知多少树木瞬间成了焦炭，此咒威力远超当年的御雷咒，若无宝物护体，只怕查文斌已经被胸口那股早已翻腾到了嗓子眼的血气击倒，他咬着牙齿，硬生生地把那口血给咽了下去，不作调整，第六道符纸已经扬起，“北斗第六，北极武曲星君！赐我金光！起！” 还剩下这最后一颗星了，只要再盖上这枚，大阵即将完成，任它什么妖魔鬼怪，今日都难逃天网！ 第七步踏出！重踏神位摇光！金口大开，一字一句顿顿而出：“道由心学，心假香传。香爇玉炉，心存帝前。真灵下盼，仙旆临轩。令臣关告，迳达九天。急急如律令！”七星剑剑身“当”的一声响起，平起竖立直冲头顶，第七张符纸缓缓落下，不等它贴上，查文斌已经率先喊道：“北斗第七！天关破军星君！赐我神力，破！” “轰”的一声，七道符纸一齐燃起，把那七星宝剑烧得遍体通红，查文斌屏住呼吸，眼中布满了血丝，额头青筋暴起，脖子已经鼓得比脑袋还要粗了！ 此刻他的眼中只有那招魂幡，剑身一挑，纵身跃下高台，身后的香烛烧得越发明亮，直刺那白幡！ 忽见眼前有一人影手持匕首高高跃起，查文斌当即大惊失色，正欲喊停，无奈口中已经尽数是血，一时心急，“噗”一口喷出，已经来不及了！ 何毅超那小子匕首已经刺到，这削铁如泥的匕首刺到软绵绵的白幡之上竟像是牛入泥潭，别说划破，似乎连力都没用上，也不知是用力过猛还是被白幡裹着，超子一个趔趄就栽进了船篷之中。 随之，已经停止一阵的阴风再次大起，招魂幡“呼”的一下扬上了天！查文斌全凭一口真气结下大阵，正要破敌，半道杀出那小子，刚吐一口鲜血，这会儿自己气势竟是下去了大半，眼看就要支撑不住自己的身子。 就在他打算再起的时候，船篷之中坐起一个人来，背对着查文斌，看那背影，不是何毅超是谁？查文斌正想吩咐他走开，“超子”慢慢转过身来，一张黄金面具赫然立于脸上…… 就在这谷底的气氛即将到达诡异的高潮时，外面又发生了什么呢？ 望月一木那拨人自从被这突如其来的地震摇晃得七零八落之后，发现蜿蜒曲折的河流也已经走到了尽头，穿过一片乱石堆之后，他们已经走出了右边的河道，幸运的是任何怪异的东西都没遇上，这也让望月对卓老汉的态度有所好转。 周边净是些腰围般粗细的大树，漫天的藤萝把这些树木连接在了一起，各种叫不上名的奇花异草随处可见，除了脚下泥泞不堪的道路比较难受之外，最让他们纠结的不过是蚊虫的袭击。 这儿的蚊子个头远小于外界，黄黄的身子，尖尖的屁股，却异常凶猛。见有人在此活动，一下子就涌上一大群，没一会儿四人就被叮得浑身是包。卓老汉那粗皮糙肉倒还好，只是可怜了那对姐妹，本就有伤在身，哪还有力气驱赶蚊虫？ 纵使三柄神兵在手，可打蚊子用不上啊，望月一木明白要再不快点走出这片林子，迟早也得让这拨蚊子给吸成人干，他一边用袖子舞着，一边喊道：“我们得快点冲出去！” 这森林的地面并不平坦，厚厚的一层落叶早已腐败，脚踩上去软绵绵的，很是无力。由着卓老汉在前乱窜带路，望月一木搀着桃井姐妹在后。 林子很茂密，遮天的树枝让光线都透不进来，这也让他们失去了辨别方向的能力，眼下只能像没头苍蝇那样到处乱窜，事实告诉他们，这种行为是非常危险的。 被蚊子叮咬得实在难受的卓玉贵，只顾舞动双手狂奔，哪里还有心去看脚下的路，只依稀看见前方没有障碍物，便大步往前冲。四人之间相隔不过半米，等到望月一木觉得脚下一空的时候，已经来不及了。 这儿原来应该有一个垂直向下的洞穴，只因洞口被些枯枝树叶掩盖，跟周围那些地方并没有任何区别，四个人先后踏上便如中了陷阱的野兽一般，只听见桃井千雪一声大叫后，这群人便消失在了地面之上。 背气，这通常是高空跌落后人醒来的第一个反应，接着便是痛。卓老汉觉得自己这把老骨头现在都要散架了，不过好在这洞穴下方也铺着厚厚一层树叶，起了缓冲作用，几人大口地喘着气，先后坐了起来，望月一木的脸都成了猪肝色，举起剑鞘就向卓老汉砸去。老汉见要被打，随手从地上抓起一件东西放在身前一拦，准备抵挡。 望月一木剑鞘已经抡在半空，现在却停了下来，双眼盯着卓老汉手上的那个东西，脸上露出不可思议的表情，看样子这应该是一只布包。 “给我！”望月一木一把抢过卓老汉手上那包，脸上的表情逐渐开始扭曲起来，颤抖的双手告诉他们应该是有什么重大发现。 “家主，发生什么事了？”千雪经过这么一摔，内伤怕是更加严重了，苍白的脸毫无血色，但作为望月家的护卫，她不得不随时待命为家主分忧。 “你们看，这是什么？”望月一木拿起布包，指着包右下角的一个金色花纹问道。 这是一枚菊花！或许对于卓老汉来讲，这枚菊花不过是个装饰，但是对于望月一木来讲，意义却非比寻常。因为这枚菊花印是一朵“十六瓣八重表菊纹”，乃日本皇室的家徽。 “你在哪里得到的这个包！”望月一木指着卓老汉吼道。 老汉眼见逃过一劫，心中暗自庆幸，忙说道：“就刚才胡乱在身后抓的，不知这包……” 望月一木一个纵身跃过，像拎小鸡一般提起卓老汉，给扔到了一旁：“你给我让开！”老汉不明白为何，只见望月跟疯狗一样扒拉着那堆枯树枝，结果还真让他给扒拉出了点东西。 三柄武士刀分别插在三具白骨腹部的位置，这三人依偎在了一起，面朝东方跪下，武士刀刀柄上的菊花纹戳得望月心里隐隐作痛，不用说他已经知道自己遇见什么了。当年祖父进山一行一共四人，最后只有祖父一人受伤逃出，另外三人的下落，也没听他再提起过，想必是已经遇难。不想今日竟然在此地相遇。 看着这些帝国先辈，望月一木第一个跪下，之后便是桃井姐妹，三人恭敬地朝着先人磕头，然后用日语叽里呱啦地念了一通，想必是悼念的意思。这一阵子弄完之后，望月叫道：“卓先生，你负责把这三位帝国英雄埋葬起来，要有半点闪失，我要你小命！” 卓老汉听说要让自己埋死人，心中就咒骂道：你们这些小日本，跑到中国来捣乱，死在这里也是活该！ 不过虽然心中一万个不愿意，但是面对明晃晃的钢刀和望月那随时要杀人的臭脾气，他也只能照办，好在这儿枯枝烂叶很厚实，卓老汉就地用手扒拉出了一个大坑，又小心地把尸骨给搬了进去，就地掩埋了。 “这些剑呢？”卓老汉问道。 “你不准碰，这是日本皇室的东西，你这个低劣的中国猪，怎么可以拿，给我放到一边！” 不拿就不拿，还那么凶！老汉这是造了什么孽，遇上这群日本人，早知今日，当年就不该带他们进村。想着这些，卓老汉看着离地足足有二十几米高的出口，这要怎样才能出去？四周的石壁都结满了苔藓，光溜溜的，想爬上去肯定比登天还难，要不然这群日本人也不会死在这儿了，难道自己一把老骨头了到头来要给他们陪葬？ 望月在那包里找到一些东西，有一个尚未被打开的罐头、一本笔记本，还有一个指南针以及一张严重泛黄的照片。照片上有四个中年男人，看背景应该是在富士山下拍的。其中一人跟他长得有几分相似，望月一眼就认出那人便是自己的祖父。 这群人应该都是家族里最顶尖的好手，才会一起参加这次行动，只是不明白为何祖父回去后一直闭口不提这次行动的遭遇，只是让他们学习中国道法。望月一木小心地把那张照片放进口袋里，他打算带回国去给亲人看看。 至于那三柄剑，望月拿起分别插在了枯枝上，就当是给立了墓碑，心想将来有机会一定再来带走先人的遗骨。不过想归想，现实总是很残酷，他也注意到了自己现在的处境，试着去攀爬那石壁，发现根本没有着力点！ 望月一木这才明白为何包里还剩下一罐罐头没有开，定是这些前辈发觉无路可走了，也无心再吃，人在绝望中死亡是唯一的解脱，他们也不例外，就是不知道这些人是否也是从上面跌落的。那当年的祖父呢？他是怎样出去的？ 手中那本笔记本引起了他的兴趣，满是日文撰写的笔记从第一页起，一直记录到了中间，想必是到了这儿才停止书写的，不如先看看这笔记再说。 虽然地下潮湿腐败，有些纸张都已经粘在了一起，不过望月还是很耐心地读着。这本笔记的作者应该就是望月家族在他祖父那一辈的大管家，桃井鹤人，也就是千雪和千代的祖父，望月看了一眼两姐妹，并没有说出实情，只是继续往下看。 笔记记录的时间是从他们踏入中国土地的第一步开始。文中称在接到探子密报，在中国西南部一带可能有神木的消息后，四人在望月家主的带领下，乘船登陆朝鲜，入东北，随着侵华日军一路攻到华中，期间他们以帝国武士的名义在中国领土上肆意杀戮，带领小股精英部队替王室搜罗各种中国珍宝和文物，并一一记载了这些宝物的出处和名称，其中有不少望月一木曾在日本国家博物馆见过。 后来日本战败，这四人并没有随队回国，为了躲避追查，化身为战争难民，躲在中国继续做些调查。在那个年代，百废待兴，各处都是外地跑来的难民，因为精通中国文化，这几人就融入了当地人的生活，并且有了合法的中国身份。 蛰伏了几年后，他们来到了中国的西南部，以挖草药的名义流窜于各大名山之中，四处搜寻消息，一直到他们遇到了一位姓卓的先生。望月一木抬头看着卓玉贵，这儿说的应该就是他了。 为了不走漏风声，他们在酒中下毒，几乎把全村人屠杀干净，只留下了卓玉贵一人以备后用。翌日，四人便从山路直接走进云雾缭绕的蕲封山。 然后便是介绍在山中的所见所闻，他们见到了古老的建筑群，也遭受到了一些不明物的攻击，其中就有一种大蛇，最后历尽艰险，进入了一个地宫之中，在地宫中他们遇到了许多匪夷所思的情况，在被一种鱼人追杀的过程中，走入了一条岔口。为了掩护望月家主先走，他们三人吸引了那些凶悍的鱼人来追击自己，一直到进了这个地方，才用大石堵住了入口，也同时堵住了自己的出路，最终三人决定与其饿死，不如剖腹以谢天皇！ 看完之后，望月一木合上本子，瞄了一眼桃井姐妹，便把本子放进了自己的袋里。怪不得祖父一直不肯说出原因，因为作为一个武士，以别人的牺牲换取自己的苟且偷生，这是绝对的耻辱！ 看着那堆枯树叶，望月心中有了想法，既然到现在还没见着那个道士的踪迹，想必是已经走散了。与其被困在这里，还不如找找看笔记中记录的那条岔口，既然祖父能出去，那么只要进了那里，自己不是一样能出去？想着便用剑在身边插了几下，果然就碰到了坚硬的地方，用手扒拉了会儿，几块大石相继露了出来。 “卓先生，过来搭把手，把这儿挪开！”话虽然说得客气，但是卓老汉知道这就是赤裸裸的命令。好汉不吃眼前亏，这一直是他做人恪守的原则，他嘴上一边应着，一边就过去了。 这石头分量并不轻，两人尝试了半天，才挪开一块，已经是累得气喘吁吁。千代和千雪休息了一会儿，脸色好看了起来，看样子身体是有所好转了，便也一起过来帮忙。 四人合力一点一点地终于挪开了最后一块大石，果然有一个洞口露了出来，能够钻进一个人。望月看了一眼卓老汉，老汉心知自己又要去踏雷了，不等望月开口便率先说道：“我先下去给各位探探路。” 望月一木很是满意卓老汉这次的表现，给他装备了一条绳子系在腰间，另外一头则捏在自己手中，相约要是不对劲就给拉回来。 这是一个坡度很大的洞穴，老汉趴在洞中跟坐滑滑梯一样就溜了下去，屁股上那把老皮也不知道被磨掉多少，痛得他龇牙咧嘴，好在不深，没一会儿就到了底，他这才朝上面喊道：“望月先生，下面是安全的，您下来吧！” 率先下来的是桃井姐妹，望月自己是最后一个，落地后，四人都带着照明设备，发现自己处在一个石头裂缝之内，看样子也应该是天然形成。根据笔记上的记载，从这通道走出去就能发现岔口，一条是当年祖父逃生的路线，还有一条应该就是祖父他们来的地方，即那种充满了危险的地方。 现在已经是损兵折将，望月不敢托大，打算先走祖父逃生的那条路，再去找找线索。既然他们当年并没有在那危险地带发现神木，自己又何必再去走一遭呢？ 沿着这条通道出去不到五百米，果真就有一条岔口，根据记载，要想出去，得去左手边。虽然不知当年祖父在这条路上有没有遇到过麻烦，但起码他平安地出去了，而那三人却被困死。坚定了自己的想法后，望月一木让卓老汉带头走在前方，因为有了上一次的经验教训，这会儿他们离得比较开，始终保持着三米的距离。 悲剧的来临总是那样快，就和大自然的变化无常一样，当一堆巨石出现在前方的时候，卓老汉只能绝望地回头看着望月一木。从地质上看，这些石头分明是刚刚落下不久，周围还时不时地有小石头在滚落，想必是之前那一次地震造成的后果，路……断了！ 看着这些巨石，望月一木已经明白当年祖父的逃生通道已经不复存在，现在唯一能做的就是返回去，从他们进山的那条路走！可是笔记上记载的那些事情他已经历历在目，不知这几十年过去后，那些东西还在不在。眼下他已经没有选择了，只能回头，要不是需要一个踩地雷的，望月连把卓老汉撕了的心都有，没好气地说：“回头，继续走在前面，沿着这条路一直走下去，我不喊停你就不准停，明白了吗？” 卓老汉揉揉自己走得发胀的小腿，自从出了那大山，他几时吃过这种苦头啊，可是偏偏还不能暴露，万一惹得那个阎王不高兴，少则一顿打，多则脑袋就没了。 望月一木还自作聪明地把绳子再次拴在了卓老汉的身上。卓老汉现在真跟一条狗没有两样，被人牵着在前方探路。What is it called?这就叫自作孽不可活啊！ 一路上不停有乱石滚下，好在没有那么大，这种裂缝本身的构造就不是十分稳定，加上地震刚过，稍微有点常识的都知道稍后很有可能还会有余震，所以他们行走的速度也自觉地加快了。走了有半个小时，他们有了第一个发现，一具尸骸倒在路边，身边还有一个青铜戈。那具尸骸是最让人揪心的，因为无论从哪个角度来看，人的肋骨都不会长成这样，密密麻麻地向外鼓出，更像是鱼类的骨头。若是没有四肢和头颅，定会被看作是一条大鱼。
