Chapter 23 Section 22 River Break

"Are you sure this method is effective?" When Sambu spoke, his face was very ugly. "Don't worry, although the formation protecting this underground Bagua city is so powerful that no one can solve it in today's world, there is one thing that cannot be avoided no matter how powerful it is, and that is the motivation to maintain the formation. The eight formations that Zhuge Liang laid out back then, have gone through the vicissitudes of life, and now they have become a few waste rocks. What's more, if the formation in front of us is really 4320 rounds, it will be thousands of years earlier than Zhuge Liang. How can it be normal? Running? But I just can’t find its formation door, which means it must still have power, at least partially functioning. I have counted the rivers in the entire Ili River Valley, and there are exactly 4320 of them, so this formation must be It is the use of the rushing water power in the river to maintain these thousands of years." Tang Mei looks a little embarrassed now, his hair is messy, his beard is unshaven, his face is still ashen, and his panda eyes look like he has stayed up for so many nights sequelae.

At this time, everyone, including Ling Ning, stood by the section of Tekes River that Tang Mei had carefully calculated.Previously, because of Tang Mei's suggestion, Sangbu asked his superiors to coordinate and asked the upstream hydropower station of the Tekes River to intercept all the river water for one hour. Sambu looked at his watch, five minutes had passed since the agreed time.The capacity of the upstream reservoir is not large, but it is not a dry season right now. With the flow of this river, all the river water can be intercepted for an hour, and the reservoir is under great pressure.But Sambu is going all out for this dungeon.He mobilized all relations and finally persuaded the reservoir to agree to cooperate this time.

An hour is too short a time.I don't know what to do!Although Ling Ning stared at the river, he felt a little disapproving of Sangbu in his heart.He seems to be a little too obsessed with this dungeon.Ling Ning thought of what Tang Mei did to her, but Sangbu knew it well... she felt depressed for a while! Gradually, the water flow in the river dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. But three minutes later, there was no trace of water coming down from the upper reaches.The Tekes River, which had been running for thousands of years, was completely cut off by man-made means! "Ja, ya, ya!" Just as the river was completely cut off, there was a sound in the middle of the dry river!Tang Mei immediately followed the prestige, "That's it, that's it! That's great! Sure enough!" He was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

The others looked in the direction of his finger, and there was a huge boulder at least ten tons in the middle of the river. They thought it was accidentally rushed into the river by a flash flood in the upper reaches. Move back slowly. "This, is this true?" Ling Ning rubbed his eyes, yes, the stone was indeed moving backwards. "Go and have a look!" Seeing this, Sang Bu ran over there with one foot deep and one foot shallow, regardless of whether the mud at the bottom of the river was dry.Not to be outdone, everyone followed him to the front. "Look! Look! There's actually a hole here!" William's eyes were the sharpest, and he could see at a glance that after the boulder was moved, a big hole appeared where it was originally.

"Wow!" Hearing this sound, everyone immediately surrounded the big hole that suddenly appeared in the middle of the river.At this time, the sound of "chucking" had stopped, and the huge boulder remained motionless again, and the hole it let out was just open in front of the big guy.The diameter of this hole is at least four meters, and it is deep. I don’t know if it has not been opened all year round. When everyone approached, they saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the hole, and it took a few minutes to dissipate.With this "special effect", although the hole in front of you is drying in the sun, everyone still feels that it has a ghostly smell.

"What, what should we do now?" Feng Xiang was a little timid.He has never experienced such a strange thing, how could there be a hole in the middle of the river?Is this hole a dead hole?The river water will recover in an hour, what should I do if I enter this hole and come out too late?Being cautious by nature, he looked at Sangbu with some worry, and swallowed the words of dissuasion when they reached his lips. "What should I do? Of course, go down and have a look!" William was very excited!He is a born daring thief, and he doesn't think about problems that can't be solved at all.

"Don't worry about it! Go down? How do you go down? The river will stop flowing for only one hour. Can you guarantee that you will finish exploring this hole in such a short period of time and get out in time?" Ling Ning immediately refuted him.This matter is unreliable no matter how you look at it, and how weird this hole looks, plus that Tang Mei with ulterior motives, Ling Ning intuitively felt that if this hole is a dangerous road, that Tang Mei is an ambush on the road. I don't know when there will be a poisonous snake that will bite you! "We must go down!" Sangbu stared at the dark hole without blinking, but the words that came out of his mouth were unquestionable, "Wang Cong, throw the torch!"

Upon hearing the order, Wang Cong quickly lit a turpentine torch prepared in advance and threw it into the cave.In the face of such an underground vertical cave, throwing torches will measure more things than throwing light sticks.In the next second, under the gaze of several pairs of eager eyes, the torch fell rapidly. A few minutes later, it was still flashing in the eyes of everyone, but the light spot became smaller and smaller until it disappeared. "This, is this the fire going out?" Wang Cong was speechless.As soon as the torch was shot, no one spoke here. Everyone listened with their ears open, but no one heard the sound of the torch falling to the ground.

"Probably not!" Sambu said sullenly.Under normal circumstances, this torch can burn for at least two hours. If the torch is extinguished due to lack of oxygen, it will only disappear at once, and will not become a smaller and smaller point.There is only one possibility for such a situation, that is, the hole is too deep, so deep that the torch has not touched the ground until it is out of the visible range of human eyes. "It's too deep!" Wang Cong stretched his neck to look into the hole, feeling that the hole leads straight to the underworld, and a chill surged in his heart for no reason.

"Wang Cong, calculate how deep the hole is at the falling speed of the torch just now?" Sang Bu's face was very ugly. Retracting the overstretched neck, Wang Cong shook his head, then turned on the computer he had been holding, and quickly calculated the data: "Whether this torch has landed now, we don't actually know, just based on the last time I saw it. Based on its time and distance, it had already fallen about 800 meters by the time it was finally invisible. According to my estimation, 800 meters is definitely not the final depth of this hole!" "What? At least 800 meters or more?!" The other people around were shocked when they heard this value, and clicked their tongues!

"So, it's impossible for us to go down and investigate?!" William regretted.For such a deep hole, everyone had no mental preparations in advance, and now I am afraid that even the ropes are not prepared enough; what's more, the river has only stopped flowing for an hour, and when the water is released upstream, this huge boulder will definitely be pushed back to its original place by the current. Cover this hole.Then, if the people in the cave are blocked before they come out in time, they will probably suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen; and it is almost an impossible task to explore a cave at least 800 meters deep within an hour . "No, I have to go down!" Sangbu turned his head and told Feng Xiang, "Hurry up and connect all our ropes and see how long they are!" "No! It's too dangerous! After an hour, the water will come back. Exploring this hole is almost lifeless. You, you can't make fun of everyone's life!" Ling Ning was almost a little angry, Sangbu, he , How could he become like this? ! "It's not everyone, it's just me!" Sang Bu looked up at Ling Ning calmly, and then cast his eyes on the faces of other people one by one. "It's not one person, it's two! You have to add me!" Tang Mei said suddenly, staring into Sangbu's eyes and saying word by word, "Are you going to break your own promise?!" After hearing the word "abandon", Sangbu immediately turned his head and stared at him, with anger on his face, his fingers clenched into fists, but he kept holding back, and soon, he stared at Tang Mei's eyes and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Okay, Since you are going, then go!" "I'm going too!" William tightened the strap of his backpack, and said calmly, as if to say "Are you going shopping, okay, I'm going too". After hearing what he said, Sangbu turned his head and stared closely at his eyes for a moment, before saying, "Okay! Okay! Everyone who wants to go will go!" At this time, Feng Xiang came over with two migrant workers carrying all the ropes: "Team Sang, no way, all the ropes here are only more than 200 meters long, which is far from enough! You still, don't... ..." "Enough!" It was Tang Mei who interrupted him. He shook the dust on his body and glanced at Sangbu. Time is running out!" "Well, Feng Xiang, you and the people from your brother's unit will stay here and guard here. If we can't come up after an hour, don't be nervous. After a month, please ask the leader to coordinate and ask to cut off the water flow again. Maybe We'll be back!" Sang Bu seized the time to explain to Feng Xiang, while carrying the equipment he had already prepared on his back. "Not in one month, but in three months!" Tang Mei interrupted suddenly.Both Sangbu and Feng Xiang turned to look at him. "According to my calculations, the 4320 rounds of Qimen Dunjia change every hour, which means that the formation changes every hour or two hours. After one month, even if you cut off the water of this river again, this Holes will not appear. However, in a year, there are always 4 games belonging to the same house that are the same. That is to say, the same situation is repeated four times in a year. Therefore, if you really want to support us, you must The river must be cut off on the same day and at the same hour three months later. Remember, the time must be calculated according to the Yellow Emperor's calendar!" After hearing what he said, both Sang Bu and Feng Xiang were silent for a while, and then Sang Bu told Feng Xiang: "Listen to him!" After speaking, he wrapped the rope around his waist and was about to go into the cave. "Wait! Brother Sangbu, think again, this matter is too dangerous!" Ling Ning stepped forward to stop Sangbu.This incident was too crazy, she didn't know what William was up to, but that Tang Mo was definitely uneasy and kind, she had to stop Sangbu, otherwise they might not be able to come up again. But Sangbu was determined to go down, and didn't talk to Ling Ning at all.He checked the rope on his body, then looked at the joint at the end tied to the large crane body on the shore, and checked the joints of the rope one by one.After confirming that there would be no problem, he just turned his head and nodded at Feng Xiang, and then wanted to jump off. "Wait a minute!" Ling Ning firmly grasped the rope around his waist, and pulled him back violently.Sangbu didn't want to talk to her at first, but he was afraid of taking her down, so he stopped, turned around, and said impatiently, "Girl Ling, don't make trouble anymore! I must go down to have a look at this hole! " "Captain Sang, you must go down and I won't stop you, but there are three of you, you can't be the first to go down!" After Ling Ning finished speaking, he turned to Tang Mo with a gentle face, and pointed at him, " Doesn’t he know the art of dunjia, the underground must have entered the range of formations, you have to let someone who knows the way lead the way!” "Not bad, not bad! I should be the first to go down!" Ling Ning thought that guy would object to his proposal, but he didn't expect him to agree.He quickly changed his equipment, threw down the connected rope, and locked the long rope with the safety rope buckle around his waist, trying to imitate the mountaineering team and walk down obliquely step by step. "Let me go down first!" William, who didn't know when he changed into a mountaineering attire, wore a miner's hat similar to going down the mine, and rushed ahead of Tang Mei, with a posture that could be called vigorous. into the ground. Everyone waited by the cave holding their breath, only to see the miner's lamp above William's head flickering in the dark cave.About ten minutes later, William’s voice came from below, maybe because he was in the ground, the voice was muffled: “Okay, you can come down! I saw a protruding stone about five feet below my feet. Ten meters away. You go down one by one, hurry up!" As soon as Sangbu heard this, he was about to buckle the main rope and go into the cave, but Ling Ning still grabbed him and glared at Tang Mei: "You are the second!" Tang Mei smiled slightly, and swaggered past Sangbu: "The second one is the second one. I'll go first. If I find any treasure, don't be jealous!" The rope buckle, grabbed the main rope that was more than 200 meters long, and jumped down, but, the second he left the ground, he grabbed Ling Ning: "You girl, you are careful, you should follow me!" Let's go together!" "what--" Ling Ning only felt his waist sink, and before he had time to react, he felt his body lighten, and the feeling of weightlessness immediately made him dizzy.That Tang Mei did not go down step by step like William. He seemed to be a bungee jumping enthusiast and chose the more exciting free fall exercise.Ling Ning could only feel the bitter cold wind blowing into her ears, and the weightless feeling of falling made her terrified.She didn't know what else she could do to save herself, except subconsciously clinging to what she could hug in front of her.A wave of despair emerged in her heart, and finally a heroic face flashed in her mind, and then she sank into the darkness...
