Chapter 91 Underground Phantom
There are wide places and narrow places for underground rivers, so various styles are formed underground.
The varied and grotesque landforms are rarely seen on the surface. The bamboo shoots and barbs in the stalactite area passing by are spectacular, and people are like being in the giant fangs of monsters. In some special places, when the torch shines, it reflects a psychedelic brilliance.
"This underground channel is formed by the erosion of groundwater. The width of the channel is related to the solubility of the geology to withstand the erosion of water. The easily soluble section will naturally widen under the erosion of the river over time, and the narrow place will naturally not Easy to dissolve lot..."
"Dongtianfudi? Thinking too much, this stalactite is the water containing carbon dioxide infiltrated into the limestone, dissolving the calcium carbonate in it. You don't understand it. In short, it is a substance that seeps into the limestone and dissolves it. When it drips, the water dries up. Yes, the dissolved matter has re-solidified, and it has accumulated like this after tens of millions of years. If you don’t believe me, you can observe carefully to see if there is any drop of water on the tip of the bamboo shoot..."
Niu Youdao couldn't stand how such an intelligent woman could be so ignorant about Shang Shuqing's admiration for certain underground landforms, so he couldn't help explaining it casually.
He walked in front of him, pointing fingers and explaining casually, but Shang Shuqing was quite moved, followed behind and looked at the back of his head, with a complicated look in his eyes and said: "Master Dao, you know so much, even the underground Changes are also known. If there is a chance, please don't think that you are ignorant, please enlighten me a lot!"
How much do you know? The corner of Yuan Gang's mouth twitched in the back, muttering in his heart, why don't you ask about the changes in the sky.
"Do you know a lot?" Niu Youdao laughed and shook his head, simple common sense is good, but there is no need to explain this, the more you explain, the more doubts you will have, so you shouldn't have said this just now.
I don't know how long this walk was, Shang Shuqing walked more and more slowly, tired enough.
The key is to walk quickly all the way to catch up with the speed of the three men. The soles of the feet have already been blistered, and the pain is burning.
"Pay attention to the ditch!" Niu Youdao reminded, and when he looked back, he found that Shang Shuqing's walking posture was not right, and asked, "Did you twist your foot?"
Shang Shuqing didn't say that there were blisters on the soles of her feet, but said bravely: "No, it's just that I'm not used to walking this way."
So he continued to walk for a while, and finally found that the woman was panting and sweating, and she couldn't move anymore. When she came to a suitable place, a place where a large number of torches were stored, Niu Youdao let her go rest.
Niu Youdao and the three of them were still able to walk if they had enough physical strength, and this kind of walking was nothing to the three of them.
In fact, Niu Youdao meant to continue walking behind Shang Shuqing's back, but Shang Shuqing refused desperately, and said that a man and a woman would not marry each other, so Niu Youdao had no choice but to give up. walk slowly.
As everyone knows, for Shang Shuqing, a hug is already too much. If Niu Youdao hadn't done that suddenly when she went down the well before, she would let Niu Youdao take her hand to go down the well at most. How could she let a man casually Hug like that. It's even more excessive to let people carry them on their backs, spread their legs and lie on them? Breast on someone else? I can't accept it even if I think about it, so naturally I refuse to agree even if I die.
how to say? Niu Youdao can also understand the chastity concept of women in this era, but he still added in his heart, Daoist, I have no interest in you at all!
It is probably because she has never walked such a difficult road since she was a child. This abnormally smooth walk, up and down, bouncing, really exhausted Shang Shuqing.
After sitting down in a clean corner, Shang Shuqing quickly fell asleep with her head tilted.
It was chilly in the ground, when Niu Youdao took out a piece of clothing from the package and put it on Shang Shuqing's body, Shang Shuqing didn't notice it at all, and fell into a deep sleep.
And looking at Shang Shuqing's exhausted appearance, it is estimated that she will not wake up for a while, and may have to sleep for a long time, so Niu Youdao arranged a rotation to keep the torches on and so on. Although there is nothing unsafe to walk all the way in the underground passage, you still need to maintain some basic vigilance.
Niu Youdao is in the same class, Yuan Fang and Yuan Gang are in the same class.
Trust is trust, Yuan Fang hasn't reached the point where he can completely let go, letting Yuan Gang accompany him is also to prevent accidents, don't let Yuan Fang clean up everything in a daze.
Yuan Gang's group watched first, while Niu Youdao sat cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed and his breathing adjusted.
I don't know how long it took, Niu Youdao suddenly felt a chill in Qingming, a very abnormal chill, the normal chill comes from the whole body, but this is a faint trace, it is the kind of energy Penetrates into pores to suppress vital chill. This kind of chill can only be felt when encountering unclean things in the ancient tomb. Niu Youdao suddenly opened his eyes.
Coincidentally, Yuan Fang also came over, seeing the way he opened his eyes suddenly, Yuan Fang knew that he had noticed it, and whispered in his ear: "Master Dao, there seems to be ghosts here. Just now, my Fayan saw something in the corner. It passed by in a flash, sneaky, and may not have good intentions."
Niu Youdao recollected the feeling just now, it was stronger than what he had experienced in Yindi, obviously it has become a climate, not an ordinary ghost, in layman's terms, it has become a ghost!
"Check it out!" Niu Youdao said, Yuan Fang nodded, turned around and lit a few torches, threw them in all directions, including the other side of the river, and then took another torch and floated around to check.
Niu Youdao looked around. In this dark place, the first thing that came to mind was the lighting problem. Although Fayan's sight distance is beyond ordinary people, it is also in the case of a light source, and it is useless in a completely dark place. .
He tilted his head towards the place where the torches were stored, and Yuan Gang immediately took out a piece of clothing from the package, walked to the place where the torches were stored, and broke several with continuous brute force, and wrapped a bunch of broken pieces in the clothes The torch head was too long to fit, so I made it into a package and carried it on my back.
Niu Youdao stood up with his sword and walked to Shang Shuqing's side, only to find that this woman was having some kind of nightmare, she was crying in her dream, that ugly face was covered with tears, she looked extremely desolate and had nowhere to turn. Yi's expression. Being so tired and still crying in a dream shows how sad things must be hidden in my heart.
"Princess, princess..." Niu Youdao called twice, but couldn't wake her up, so he stretched out his hand and patted her face twice.
Shang Shuqing sat up straight in shock, staring blankly at Niu Youdao in front of her, then seemed to realize that she was crying, and raised her sleeves embarrassingly to wipe away the tears.
When I got up, I found that I was covered with a piece of clothing, and I recognized Niu Youdao's clothes. My heart warmed up, and I felt a little shy, "Master Dao, did I oversleep?"
Niu Youdao noticed that she stepped on the ground unnaturally after she stood up, and said, "You can't go anymore, I will carry you on my back."
How could Shang Shuqing accept such an intimate behavior, she quickly shook her head and said: "My feet are fine, I can walk."
Niu Youdao: "You think too much, we are being watched by others, and you will hurt everyone if you walk slowly." While talking, he looked around.
"..." Shang Shuqing was stunned, only to realize that Yuan Fang was no longer there, and there was a torch thrown out in the distance.
Soon, she saw Yuan Fang floating over from the other end, and said to Niu Youdao, "Master Dao, I don't know where he is hiding."
"It's not a problem here, let's go!" Niu Youdao tilted his head to signal, and handed the sword in his hand to Shang Shuqing.
Shang Shuqing was stunned for a moment, and when she received the sword in her hand, Niu Youdao took advantage of the situation and dragged her over.
Niu Youdao didn't care how shy she was, after he pulled her over, he turned around and grabbed her two thighs with both hands, and directly carried him behind his back. He promised Shang Chaozong that as long as he was still there, he would protect Shang Shuqing's safety, and he was the strongest among the people here.
This posture was too embarrassing, Shang Shuqing's tender ears turned red in an instant, her upper body did not dare to stick to his back, she held his sword against his shoulder, and supported her upper body not to get close. Who would have thought that Yuan Gang handed her a lighted torch again, and she couldn't accept it.
Several people left quickly, except for Shang Shuqing who was on Niu Youdao's body, they kept their original formation, with Yuan Fang at the front.
Yuan Fang and Yuan Gang in the front and rear each held two lighted torches in their hands.
Without the burden of Shang Shuqing, the three of them moved faster than a little bit, with the torches whistling in the wind.
The melted kerosene dripped fire, fearing that it would fall on Niu Youdao's body. After bouncing up and down for a while, Shang Shuqing had no choice but to lie on Niu Youdao's shoulder.
For her, it's not just that the walking speed is faster, it must be much more comfortable for her to walk like this.
After quickly arriving at the next torch storage point, it was empty.
Yuan Gang walked into the wall hole, reached out and touched the oil stain on the wall, smelled it before his nose, and said back, "Yes."
Shang Shuqing, who was lying on Niu Youdao's shoulder, said, "It's impossible not to have it. This is a reserved land, and it is generally not used without authorization. Even if someone has used it, it will be reported, unless it is taken away by outsiders."
"Keep going!" Niu Youdao tilted his head to signal, and the three continued to move forward quickly.
After going through two more torch storage points, they found that they were still vacant, and the torches in their hands were almost burned out.
Niu Youdao looked around, and suddenly said: "Old Xiong, pay attention to the river."
Yuan Fang immediately floated out and stepped on the waves of the river. As expected, Yuan Fang quickly discovered the torch floating from the upper reaches.
The reason is very simple. According to what Shang Shuqing said, if there must be torches arranged at the storage points along the way, judging from the previous stacking level, there are at least a thousand of them. Even if someone takes them away, it is inconvenient to take them all together. And according to the abnormalities discovered before, if someone is playing tricks now, the most convenient way to deal with it is to throw it into the river directly.
Yuan Fang fished out two torches and floated back. He overfired with the lit torches. They were so hot that they were already soaked in water, making it difficult to ignite.
"Someone wants to blackmail us, don't fall into the hands of the poor monk..." Yuan Fang, who threw away the wet torch, looked around, cursing and showing hostility on his face.
Anyone can see that someone intends to harm them, otherwise there is no need to destroy the torches and pit them, it is clear that they will do so to deal with them.
Unified reply: I don’t have the energy or the mind right now. It’s a college entrance examination for a book, and I’ll go to the group to brag about it after it’s on the shelves.
