red tomb

This discovery made Du Ying, who didn't want to move at first, also jumped up, and rushed over with the other two in three steps.

There is indeed something in the lake.Because the surrounding forest is dark, there is no light; the light that can be reflected by the lake can only come from the sky.To be more precise, they all thought that the reflection on the water surface they saw was starlight, but in fact it was not—

Under the center of the lake, there was a cloud of misty white light!

"...What the hell is that?" Su You had the best eyesight, but he couldn't tell that he was ugly. "It's not my eyesight, is it?"

"I can swear, it wasn't there when I fetched water in the afternoon." Jin Sheng replied, staring at the light source without blinking. "Or, it only lights up at night?"

"Sounds like something fluorescent." Jiang Siqi continued, "But no matter what it is, it shouldn't be there!"

The three looked at each other.

"It seems that the bath can't be done, and the lake still has to go down." Su You was the first to react, and shrugged helplessly, "You think so, Du Ying?"

Those who were consulted felt that this was really a hot potato.If he knew what it was, that's the time to say it; but he didn't, and obviously it was time to find out.As for this candidate, Su You is the most suitable...

Nima, how does this make him deal with his previous agreement with Jiang Siqi?

Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Jin Sheng knew that Su You's guess was right - they had to deal with this matter.He was never indecisive, but that didn't mean he absolutely supported Su You's decision. "It can't be you every time," he objected, "It's my turn too!"

"And me!" Before he finished speaking, Jiang Siqi said loudly.

Su You looked back and forth between the two of them. "You guys are unanimous now, huh?" He joked, and immediately changed his tone again, "This has nothing to do with taking turns, only the best choice."

"That's right, the best choice." Du Ying said coldly.After receiving a few stares, he didn't respond, but just continued: "Then I should go."

"You...ah?" Jin Sheng originally wanted to refute Su You's optimal choice from all aspects, from theory to practice, but Du Ying's next words made his preparations in vain. "Are you going?" He asked suspiciously.Can the tree go into the water?

"Don't look, I don't need to breathe just like I don't need to take a bath." Du Ying replied, slightly playful. "Of course not forever, but it's more than enough to deal with the depth of this pool."

"Really?" Su You stared at him, rubbing his chin subconsciously.

"It's okay." Du Ying emphasized.

In fact, he didn't say the most important real reason at all: first, he had promised Jiang Siqi earlier; second, he knew that they were walking in the way of ghosts, but Su Yu and the others didn't know.

The first reason, at Jiang Siqi's request, must be strictly kept secret from Su You and Jin Sheng; because telling Jin Sheng is almost equivalent to telling Su You.And the second reason, apart from his feeling that other people don't know the truth can be more conducive to the progress of the matter, his nature determines that the ghost will not benefit from him, and the probability of being recruited is relatively small.

Under Du Ying's insistence, the four finally reached an agreement to let Du Ying go down first.Just in case, they connected the climbing rope and tied a knot around Du Ying's waist.If something goes wrong, the people on the shore can pull the people in the water up.

The slope of the pool is gentle, but after a few steps, it turns sharply down.Su You and the three looked at Du Ying's figure diving into the water, and their hearts were suspended.

"What's in the water?" Jin Sheng murmured.

"I don't know," Su You replied, his eyes fixed on the shaking water, "I hope there is nothing bad."

"It looks a bit like that," Jiang Siqi was thoughtful, "it's a bit like the light of a night pearl."

When they said this, they were holding on to the rope one after another like a tug of war, for fear of missing the signal from Du Ying.

"That sounds okay." Jin Sheng couldn't think of arguing with Jiang Siqi at this time, so he took the topic naturally, "At least there is no danger."

Hearing this, Su You, who was leaning behind, took a special look at Jin Sheng, and noticed that the other's hand holding the climbing rope was turning pale.Well, he knew that this kid was hard-spoken and soft-hearted!

But at this time, everyone's hearts were tied by a rope, and they naturally fell silent.The sky was still bright with stars, and the lake surface was still lightly rippled, but the tension and suffocation spread down like a net, and it was still gradually tightening.

At the same time, in Peach Blossom Pond.

The pool was not big and not deep enough, so Du Ying quickly swam to the center of the lake.He didn't dare to swim too far, first because of the limited length of the rope, and second because of being cautious about unknown objects.But when he approached the ball of white light, he realized his mistake almost immediately——

There's no way that thing was left by a ghost!

Because the thing emitting white light is nothing but a square white marble stele!And things like white marble are rare in ordinary people, but they are commonly used in the emperor's palace.Contacting the legend of Jiang Yingzi...

Du Ying carefully swam around it twice.Theoretically, he is now only two meters away from the stele, so he should be able to see the engravings on it; but in reality, he can only see a layer of hazy white light, so that it looks more like a rectangular lamp in his eyes. lights.

At this time, all you can do is get closer.Du Ying thought so and did the same.

ashore.

Sensing that the rope in their hands had slipped out again, the necks of the three also stretched.

"What's going on?" Su You wondered. "Our rope is almost at the end, but Peach Blossom Lake looks so big, how can we use so much rope?"

"I don't know." Jin Sheng replied, his expression was as tense as his tone, "But we can't let it go anymore."

Jiang Siqi stood at the front with the best view. "That's right," he said, "maybe that place is the same as the Yin Fish Eye we walked through before, which is actually much bigger than it looks."

"That's another space inside." Su You helped him complete it. "That sounds like a possibility, too."

"But Du Ying didn't send back any danger signal." Jin Sheng frowned, "If that's the case, doesn't he think it's abnormal?"

"In theory, it should be like this." Su You said, "He should at least come out of the water first and discuss something with us. But it's also possible that he didn't realize this fact?"

But no matter what the conjecture is, there is no way to check it now.The three of them waited for a while, and this time Jin Sheng spoke first: "Turn on the GPS, Yuzi, mine was just placed in the tent."

In order to keep in touch in the wild, the three of Su You bought the same positioning watch together when they set off from Pingcheng, and they could determine each other's positions when the positioning function was turned on.However, it had no signal when Paiyun Mountain was in use, and it was not used at ordinary times, so everyone forgot about it.A few people said they were going to take a bath just now, and both he and Jiang Siqi took off their watches temporarily.

"Okay..." Su You used to reply, and then he realized it. "Wait? Who are you targeting?"

Jin Sheng didn't answer, but the look in his eyes said everything.

"But Du Ying doesn't have..." Su Yougang wanted to say that Du Ying didn't have the same watch as theirs, but immediately realized something. "Did you tamper with his watch?" Ever since he met Jin Sheng, the other party has always liked to make things by himself; they laughed and said at that time that Jin Sheng's staying at school as an experimental teacher was definitely true love, but now...

"Don't make any tricks at this time," Jin Sheng replied quickly, "I just did a small experiment."

This matter is not so open and aboveboard, he didn't want to say it; but if he doesn't say it now, when will he wait?

"Small experiment?" Jiang Siqi interjected, "Put a certain positioning device into someone else's watch?" He finally remembered that it is not suitable to complain at this time, otherwise he would say that this is something that only a pervert would do.

"Come on, you know I don't believe him, never." Jin Sheng raised his chin slightly, signaling Su You to hurry up, "But no matter what, it's coming in handy now, isn't it?"

Su You couldn't refute.Even if Jin Sheng did that, he still believed that Jin Sheng did it for a good purpose, not to harm others. "Then pay attention to the rope." After saying this, he let go of the hand holding the rope and pressed the positioning button of the watch.

The dial flickered immediately, switching from the usual hour hand mode to the circular azimuth mode of southeast, northwest.

"There is no Du Ying's signal green dot," he saw it at a glance, "it's still just the three of us."

"Did you really do a good job?" Jiang Siqi couldn't help asking.Although he felt that the way of doing things in secret was not fair enough, but now that the situation was imminent, it was still important to find someone.

"Of course!" Jin Sheng retorted, "I checked it just after installing it, and it can be detected!"

The three looked at each other.If Jin Sheng could see Du Ying's spot on the GPS screen before, but Su You couldn't see it now, wouldn't it mean that Du Ying has...

At this moment, the rope suddenly shook violently, and the three of them were so startled that they hurriedly pulled it back.They thought it would take a little effort, but the tight rope moved again, and the three of them fell backwards in unison.

The meaning of this inertia effect is obvious, that is, the rope is broken from the middle.Jiang Siqi pulled the end of the rope out of the water in a few strokes, and suddenly looked shocked: "This..."

Not only him, Su You and Jin Sheng couldn't help being shocked after seeing the other end of the rope clearly.Because the rope is not broken, it is still in good condition; that is to say, it has been untied!

Untie the knot in the lake, who can do this?
