Chapter 108 Biting the Phoenix into the Water

The abyss was still pitch black, only the strange jade bridge was spreading high above it, giving people a very strange feeling.

After a moment, Lu Su said, "There is no entrance or exit behind the jade bridge. I think if we want to find the breakthrough of the golden coffin, we must go to the abyss to explore what land is under the abyss, and also bring our equipment bags up."

Tofu nodded and said, "It's not bad, you must bring the equipment bag. People are iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry. Only when you have enough food can you have the energy to work."

I said, "You know how to eat. The situation under this abyss is strange, so I'm afraid it's not an easy place to go."

Tofu shrugged, pointed at Gu Wenmin, and said, "We are a few of us men and women who can go hungry, but the beauty Gu hasn't had any things in from beginning to end. If this continues, she will be hungry and become a bone demon. No matter how dangerous it is, she has to go." I laughed in my heart, knowing that Tofu is also trying to eat, but she takes Gu Wenmin as a guise.

We had a tacit understanding and understood that Tofu was singing a double act with me, so we continued, "You are right, but my shoulder was injured and it was inconvenient to climb the rope. I'm afraid it's not going well, why don't you go?"

Tofu said, "No, no, I'm afraid of heights."

Feng Guishou hissed and said, "Didn't you still have to die before? Do you have to go down and catch people? Why are you afraid of heights now? Don't be clever, at least you have to do your part."

With Tofu's skills, it would be similar to dying when I went down. I was about to help him deal with Feng Guishou, but when I heard Lu Su say, "Brother Chen is injured, Xiaodou... Xiaodou is afraid of heights. I will do this matter. You are waiting here. If there is any situation, I will send you a signal."

Tofu and I were waiting for this sentence. The two of us pretended to refuse and watched Lu Su slide down the rope and gradually slide into the abyss.

I teased and said, "Xiaodou, isn't your idol surnamed Lu? Are you embarrassed to let your idol go to Lei?"

Tofu looked serious and said, "It is precisely because he can rush to thunder that he has become my idol."

Feng Guishou was speechless beside him. Tofu walked over and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, don't look like you despise us. Aren't you also shrunk yourself?" After all, people are selfish. In order to save Gu Wenmin, Tofu and I naturally didn't care about any danger or not. But now there is no need to go into the hole. Since there is no need, why take that risk and be the first bird? Including Feng Guishou himself, he is also focused on pushing this life on Tofu.

We are not fools, so how could we make him happy?

It is said that those who are capable work harder. After the three of us were so flirtatious, the task fell on Lu Su. He seemed willing. I have always been unwilling to do things and I am thick-skinned when necessary. However, Lu Su is so righteous that we are too despicable. Tofu sighed: "There are always some people in this world who have noble character and are destined to be heroes and respected."

I said, "What?"

Tofu shook his head and said, "But a good person will not live long, and the disaster will last for thousands of years. Heroes will eventually become martyrs. I would rather be a bear than a martyr."

Gu Wenmin was amused and laughed at the side and said that I and Tofu were all wrong.

The four of us, plus the woman named Ren, waited by the platform for only a few minutes, and the code came from below. The rope shook three times. It was a safety signal we agreed on in advance. It seemed that there was no danger under the abyss.

After a while, Lu Su climbed back along the rope, but he was soaked all over and his chest was bulging, as if he was carrying something.

When the person got ashore, Lu Su shook his clothes and fell down three fresh fish that had been broken and had their gills and scales removed.

I immediately understood and asked, "Is there groundwater connected below?"

Lu Su nodded, took off his top and showed his strong figure, and began to twist the water from his clothes. Tofu looked at him, then looked at his muscleless arms, with a melancholy expression and began to worry about his eighth spring.

I only heard Lu Su’s description that under the abyss, it turned out to be a large space, filled with water, the water was very deep and unremitting.

Because the place is too big, it is impossible to salvage the previous equipment bag, so he temporarily caught a few fish in the water, just treating it as food. Although this sounds easy, it is actually very difficult to catch fish in the water with bare hands. I tried it in the river when I was a child, and only succeeded twice. It must have taken a lot of effort to catch these three fish.

Several of us thanked me, so we used movable steel pipes to skew the fish and grilled it on solid fuel. The fish is relatively tender, and if the heat is not well controlled, it will burn. The tofu directly stuffs all the fish into my hands, saying that professionals can do professionals. In order to prevent my barbecue skills from becoming unfamiliar, I specially gave me a chance to exercise.

While I was grilling fish, I heard Lu Su say, "We have to go down to explore after eating. I found that there seemed to be something under the water, but the light source was insufficient just now and I didn't see it clearly."

Since we have made a breakthrough, we don’t need to be lazy. Tofu said, “I think it’s time to let the beauty Gu and Lao Chen stay. They are both injured. Let’s go down.”

Lu Su said: "Brother Chen will go with you."

Tofu probably saw that I was injured and worried that something would happen to me, so he said angrily: "Hey, what do you mean? My brother was injured and was stabbed by Lao Feng's dagger. Can you get into the water? Grandpa Dou, I will fight ten, and one husband is the pass. Don't let ten thousand men open. Can't I go with you!"

Lu Su smiled slightly, shrugged, and said softly: "There is a place to stay below, so we don't have to stay here. If people scatter, it will be easy to get into trouble. If I'm not wrong, the golden coffin is probably underneath, but Brother Chen has to take a look." It turned out that the underwater shape was very strange, as if there was some artificial situation in it.

Although Lu Su is very skilled, he does not understand some of the tomb situations. Bai Laosi seized Yang Fang's secret book and became popular on the road. I am also the descendant of Bai Laosi, so Lu Su wanted me to go down and observe it.

After the discussion, the fish in my hand was almost the same. Fortunately, the fish were big, and although there were only three, everyone had enough food. They packed up and went down the rope one by one.

Unexpectedly, this abyss was not as deep as we imagined, only about fifteen or sixteen meters deep. The water vapor below was thick, and a layer of undispersed fog was faintly covered, so the light could not be penetrated, so it seemed to be bottomless. We went to the end, and we had no way to go, so we could only dodge water and swam to the right for less than a few meters, then there was a raised natural stone platform. Everyone stood up and avoided it, gathered the light source in their hands, and adjusted the brightness to the maximum, and then began to observe the surrounding environment.

I saw the entire water cave moving east-west, with a big head and thin tail, like a big snake. The snake's head is where we are now, showing a triangle.

I observed some tricks soon after I saw them, and couldn't help but be shocked. I explained to everyone that the water snake in front of me was a pattern of biting a phoenix into the water.

Originally, the phoenix was a divine beast in fire, and the most taboo thing was water. The divine spring happened to be at the phoenix's head, like a pearl, or like a phoenix's drinking water place. It was originally excellent.

Unfortunately, this underground cave is a cave, and countless underground water tributaries have naturally formed, leaving the phoenix without a place to settle down.

There is a lot of water and snakes are born. This Fengshui snake has a huge head, as if it has just swallowed something and is about to swallow it. It undoubtedly collided with the Fengshui where the phoenix turned its neck. If the two meet, it must be the big snake that swallowed the tired fire phoenix. The people buried here are like young phoenixes entering the mouth of a demon snake, and if someone dies here, it will inevitably be difficult to disperse the wronged soul.

At first glance, this snake array seemed to be formed naturally, but when you look at the surrounding stone walls, it was clearly traces of artificial carving, which was obviously done on purpose when the tomb was built.

If this place is put into this situation, anyone who dies here will inevitably be driven by a fierce snake, which can be said to have a corpse rising from the corpse.

I instantly understood that the reason why Ren Ling turned into a flying corpse in an instant must be related to this "underwater demon snake".

After hearing this, Lu Su said again: "So can we infer the location of the golden coffin?"

I can't do anything about this. After all, my grandfather's work notes are limited. What's more, "the coffin cannot see water" is a tradition for thousands of years. It is against common sense to place the coffin under water, so how can I see anything from the water? Logically speaking, there is a "water snake demon" here, and the golden coffin must be far away from it.

If this is true, then we will be really killed by Princess Gegell this time.

While explaining to everyone, I turned the light and gradually shot the light source to the water surface. However, at this moment, the water actually reflected the reflection of the jade bridge above under the light.

You should know that we are fifteen or sixteen meters away from the jade bridge above our heads, and the light cannot hit the top of our heads at all. How could the reflection of the jade bridge appear underwater? This phenomenon simply breaks through the common sense of physics. For a time, several of us, along with the woman named Ren, also changed color.

The woman said bluntly: "Is there an upside-down jade bridge under the water?"

Her words reminded me of the Ghost Mirror Tomb that had trapped us before. My heart suddenly skipped a beat and an ominous premonition arose.

The jade bridge in the water in front of us changed the angle of the light in our hands, appeared and disappeared like a reflection, and then distorted from time to time with the water flow, completely contrary to the optical phenomenon. It made people feel that the situation was very strange and they couldn't help but have some doubts about the guess raised by the woman named Ren.

Is there really a jade bridge underwater?

What is the use of these two bridges?
