Yin Xiu stood at the front, staring closely at the changes in the passage. Behind him, Ma Xiaoyu and Liu Banxian were mumbling words, manipulating the magic tools in their hands and reciting incantations. With a snap, Liu Banxian pulled the flag in his hand, and the water-proof golden-eyed beast made of golden threads on the blue cloth danced with the force of his pulling the flag, lifelike, with teeth and claws. There is a moist smell in the air, making people feel itchy on their skin. Ma Xiaoyu kept her eyes closed, holding the ruler in her hand and pointing at the magic talisman. It was not until she felt this change that her eyes suddenly opened. "The dragon's order, the water god Yinji borrowed the law, is as urgent as the law!" Ma Xiaoyu took a Gang Step forward, holding the Sword Jue in her right hand, and holding the three-color ruler in her left hand. The moment her feet landed, her windbreaker flew up, the ruler in her hand lit up in red, yellow and green, and strong winds gusted around her body. Then she picked up the talisman with the ruler and pointed it forward. There was a rustling in everyone's ears, not like thunder, but like a little raindrops hitting their bodies and heads, isolating people from the outside world. There was silence in the passage for a while, and then Ma Xiaoyu shouted: "Here we come!"
What's coming? When Hai Dongqing was thinking subconsciously, he saw in the passage ahead, the sound of rolling thunder coming from far and near, and it seemed like a herd of cattle running wildly in the canyon. However, Hai Dongqing couldn't see the billowing dust and smoke, and all he could see was the huge waves. At this time, escape was impossible, because in front of them were huge waves rushing towards them, and behind them was the motionless giant bronze door. It was conceivable that within a few breaths, the few of them would be swept up by the huge wave and hit on the giant bronze door. The waves behind the Yangtze River beat the waves in front, and the waves in front... Hai Dongqing's heart tightened, and he felt that he would hit the bronze door and be shattered to pieces. When she looked at the other people, they all had dull faces. She didn't know whether they were looking forward to death or not thinking that they would encounter any disaster at all. They all looked calm. However, this calmness did not give Hai Dongqing the slightest comfort. Because her fellow travelers were either Xuanmen practitioners or martial arts masters, but he himself was just an ordinary hunter with not very good skills! By the time Hai Dongqing realized this, it was already too late. She could only follow what Yin Xiu said and take a deep breath to fill her lungs with moist air. When he looked up again, the water curtain mixed with sediment hit his face. It was cold and biting. Almost as soon as Hai Dongqing soaked in the water, her muscles began to spasm uncontrollably. The cold water poured into her lungs through her clenched teeth, like ice. She wanted to cough, but the cold water only made Hai Dongqing feel like her mouth was frozen. Even the cold pond in Changbai Mountain that produced the delicious white fish didn't seem to be so cold. Gradually, her consciousness became blurred, and she felt that the original resistance behind her disappeared. The water flow took her down somewhere, and her ears were filled with gurgling sounds and a series of bubbles. thump! Hai Dongqing patted the water and felt a sweetness in her throat. Before she could feel her injuries carefully, she was pulled up and lifted out of the water. Hai Dongqing looked up and vaguely saw that it was Ren Qi who caught him. However, Ren Qi was not only holding him, he was also carrying the dizzy Liu Banxian on his shoulders. Hai Dongqing grabbed Ren Qi's hand and finally stood up limply with his remaining strength, feeling exhausted all over.
"How long have we been soaking in the water?" Hai Dongqing asked with difficulty. "Sixty-three, I counted sixty-three." Ren Qi put Liu Banxian down on his shoulders again, and the water just reached Liu Banxian's belly. It was obviously neither deep nor shallow. If you can't stand up, you will drown, but if you stand firm, your life will be safe for a while. To their left, there was a big hole in the rock wall at some point, and water was pouring out of it, like a waterfall. Hai Dongqing and the others should have been swept by the flood just now and fell from here. As they speculated, the reason why Earth Dragon and Wood Boy were able to pass through this passage unobstructed and not restricted by the bronze door was precisely because the large amount of mud or water flow caused the bronze door to open, so Wood Boy could enter. Come here. "Yin Xiu, where are Yin Xiu and the others?" Hai Dongqing suddenly thought of him and Ma Xiaoyu, couldn't help but become a little nervous, and looked around. At this time, the water flow was still rising, with no intention of stopping. I was afraid that in a while, the place where they were standing would be submerged and no longer safe. Liu Banxian couldn't figure out the situation. Just when he was about to speak out, there was another crash. Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu emerged from the deeper water, both looking pale and breathing heavily. As soon as they saw Ren Qi and the others, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their faces became slightly better. "Liu Banxian, fortunately your premonition was accurate this time, otherwise we would have become salted fish in the water." "spit!" Liu Banxian waved his hand vigorously, "It's auspicious, I'll make you spit and say it again! We are blessed from the sky and have no taboos. Is there anything that can stump us?" I heard from a master before that the bronze door will only open if you have mud. I have never been able to figure out the principle behind it. I just soaked in the water for a while and after washing my face to wake up, I figured it out. " Hai Dongqing was stunned, "Isn't it just because of the pressure of mud and water that it was knocked open?" "certainly not." Liu Banxian retorted: "What do you know? If you are just so rough, the water flow can knock the bronze door open, then when we are all slapped on the bronze door, shouldn't we be the first to be shattered to pieces? We can still be copper-clad and iron-clad. Bones are stronger than a door? But now we are all very powerful and lively! So, it's definitely not because of the pressure of the water flow. " "What's that for?" Yin Xiu also became curious. "It's very simple." Liu Banxian took out his fan and opened it, splashing water on everyone's faces. Ren Qi stood nearest, almost blinded by the water, but everyone was soaked, so they didn't care if a few more drops of water splashed on their faces, they just waited for Liu Banxian's answer. Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to answer questions, Liu Banxian stopped trying to be mysterious, put away his fan again, and winked at Yin Xiu, Ren Qi, and Hai Dongqing weirdly. "What on earth do you want to say?" Yin Xiu said dissatisfied. "Don't worry, I just want to be civilized, polite and think about my words."
"If you don't tell us, we should go ashore to warm ourselves by the fire. Otherwise, we will freeze to death before drowning in the water." Yin Xiu urged. "Okay, okay, it's actually very simple, just like when we do exercise." Liu Banxian said with a smile. "What sport." "It's just some sports that everyone likes. If you think about it, when we are in the tunnel, our feet and the top of our heads are very dry. Many times, if the tunnel is dry and cracked, it will easily become blocked, making it difficult to get in and out, and it will be inconvenient for everyone. . You have to think of a way and make preparations so that there is water in the tunnel so that you can sail and swim without any obstruction! We can't get in through the bronze door. Isn't it because the water in the tunnel has been drained away by us and dried up? In that situation, no one could get in, but after the flood was summoned by the method, it was really easy to get in. Brother Yin, I’m not talking about you, but when I see you, you are an impatient person. I understand that you are a young man and can be angry, but there are some things that you should not be impatient about. If this is your first time entering this door, be sure to Make sure there is water in the tunnel, otherwise..." Before Liu Banxian finished speaking, Ren Qi pulled Hai Dongqing, and Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu started walking to the shore, leaving Liu Banxian standing in the water. "What on earth is he talking about?" Ma Xiaoyu asked. "It's nothing." Yin Xiu rolled his eyes, "Liu Banxian, he's out of his mind." Ma Xiaoyu looked back at Liu Banxian, who seemed to want to talk at length, and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Maybe he's frightened. I'll make him a bowl of tea later to calm down." "If you want to make tea, you should also consider warding off the cold first, right?" Yin Xiu shrank her neck, obviously she was very cold. "It will be all right." Ma Xiaoyu smiled and threw a piece of waterproofed talisman paper on the seemingly dry ground in front of him. A raging fire immediately lit up on it, and the temperature made everyone feel refreshed. Yin Xiu took out another strong drink and asked several people to drink it among them. Only in this way did he finally get rid of the bone-chilling chill in his body. Underground, the temperature of the groundwater, which has never seen the light of day all year round, is so low that a person would feel suffocated as soon as he fell into it. Liu Banxian originally thought that everyone would come back and continue listening to him, but he didn't expect that a few people would just keep themselves warm by the fire and ignore him. Feeling bored, he could only shake his head and walk forward, squatting aside to dry his clothes and hands. At this time, everyone was sitting around the fire. There was no longer the joy of surviving the disaster, only exhaustion. Ma Xiaoyu sat next to Yin Xiu, took off her boots with difficulty, and poured out a cup of water from the soles. On this trip, although waterproof measures have been taken and all important magical instruments on the body have been wrapped in oilcloth or other things, this does not include the clothes on the body. Several people did take a dip in the water. As soon as she took off her boots, Ma Xiaoyu felt a strange smell coming into her nose, and she couldn't help but glance at Yin Xiu. Yin Xiu looked calm at this time, as if she was too tired. She didn't smell the smell. She just lay down after warming herself by the fire for a while. It seemed that she would never get up again in a short time. In this way, Ma Xiaoyu felt relieved and simply took off her socks, threw them aside, and stretched her skin that had been wrinkled by blisters. "Okay." Yin Xiu said suddenly. "What's all right?" Ma Xiaoyu looked at him. "I mean, if possible, could you please take the socks away a little? Don't put them under my nose, it'll be offensive." Yin Xiulian's tone of voice changed.
Only then did Ma Xiaoyu realize that she had just thrown it casually, and it had indeed been thrown right next to Yin Xiu's face. Blushing, she took the socks back and threw them to the other side. "Not feeling well?" "Not really." Yin Xiu shook his head, "Remember when we were in Weijiagou before? I feel like the taste has changed." "Weijiagou?" Ma Xiaoyu recalled it, and then she remembered that that night in Weijiagou, the two spent the night leaning against each other like this, but at that time Ma Xiaoyu's feet were on top. "It shouldn't have changed. Although the weather is cold and I'm not so tired, it's still a little strange to be stuffed in boots and soaked in water." Ma Xiaoyu whispered. "It's really amazing." Yin Xiu sighed. "It's just a little smell, it's either strong or light, sour or smelly. What's so weird about it?" Ma Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?" Yin Xiu turned around. "Then what are you talking about?" Ma Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. "I mean, our experiences along the way have been so amazing. Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, we would be underground at this moment and enter the underground palace?" "And he entered under the eyes of many forces, quietly, right?" There was a smile in Ma Xiaoyu's eyes. “Yeah, there’s nothing more fun in the world. When I used to work in the To Kwa Wan factory, sometimes when the machines were on holiday, if I got off work early, I would go to those theaters to watch performances. It's a dime a piece, except for some strange women dancing there for men to see. Don't get me wrong, I didn't go there just to see this. The kind that people of Liu Banxian's age like. " "Hey, Brother Yin, are you talking bad about uncle? I heard it all." "No, no, I always respect the old and love the young. You are so chic and charming, who would say bad things about you? Just lie down and rest for now. I will go to you later to ask about exercise. Yes, wait. Let’s discuss it privately.” After comforting Liu Banxian, Yin Xiu turned her head again and met Ma Xiaoyu's eyes. It turned out that she had also lied down at some point, and her pair of watery, talking eyes were bent into crescent moons, looking at Yin Xiu. After a pause, Yin Xiucai continued: "I didn't go there to see those women. The main reason was that there was a magician performing there. His name was David or something, I forgot. He is responsible for the warm-up between the two programs. That is, after everyone has finished watching the show and is taking advantage of the time when the next program has not started to go to the toilet, he runs out to warm up. It's actually very simple to become a magician. It's nothing more than flying a dove out of a top hat and turning a rose into a handkerchief. That's pretty much it. It's just a trick to trick children. Occasionally, there are some large-scale shows, which are nothing more than magic tricks that transform people into living people or separate human bodies. But I liked watching these at that time, because at that time, apart from working in the factory, I was sleeping in the dormitory every day, and there was no hope. How can a time traveler like me... Oh, I mean a young person like me, be trapped in an assembly line and a subdivided house of a few square meters? So at that time, I was watching the magician perform, and I always thought that one day I could do something different in front of everyone and scare others.
Or when others think I haven't done anything, in fact I have changed the situation. " "Like now, right? You do a bunch of surprising, unexpected things." Seeing Ma Xiaoyu's smiling face, Yin Xiu couldn't help but feel better. She asked her with a smile: "Then do you like what I do?" "which one?" "Anything." Ma Xiaoyu's smile became even sweeter, she put her finger to her lips, thought for a while and then asked him: "You want to know?" "Yes, I want to know, do you like the things I do?" Yin Xiu nodded. "I……" Ma Xiaoyu's face sunken into two pear dimples, "I'll tell you next time." (End of Chapter)
