Chapter 1771: The Mystery of the Circular Area
Bing Zhixie looked at the wound on his back through magic. The wound had scabbed. The previous treatment had effectively alleviated the deterioration of the injury, and the sting was okay. The toxin on it is not very powerful, and with normal treatment, it will be fine in a day or so.
After exploring the secret place in the mountains for an afternoon, Kun was very troubled: "It is very peaceful here, there is no terrible danger. Is the fetal demon really here?"
For the time being, they except the stone pavilion. , nothing else was found. Bing Zhixie held his chin in his hand and was unsure. If the people who escaped before destroyed everything, he had no idea how to open the mechanism in the stone pavilion. But he was sure that the so-called 'fetal demon' must be here. It was really strange that there were living creatures in the secret place but no birds and beasts. But if there is anything here, you can see it at a glance. They have walked around here twice, but there is nothing worth noting.
Unconsciously, it was dusk, and there was still nothing gained. Kun said: "We can't find anything here. Let's go out and rest. We might find something outside and grab some food by the way."
"Yeah." Bing Zhixie agreed to leave, but when they walked back, they found that the stone door at the entrance was missing.
Kun was startled: "Why is the door missing? We...we came in from this direction, right? Or did we go in the wrong direction? Let's go over there and have a look."
Bing Zhixie ran around after her, but still couldn't find the entrance. Kunran was so scared: "It's a fetus demon, it's a fetus demon. We must be disrespectful to it. It trapped us here. It's over, we're done..." She stood there blankly, her eyes full of fear, as if A catastrophe is coming and everything will be destroyed.
Suddenly a hand gently pressed on her shoulder. She turned around and immediately saw a pair of calm and peaceful eyes. These eyes seemed to have magical power, calming her panicked heart.
“The door to exit is still there, but I can’t find it.”
Kun hurriedly asked: "Can you find the door?"
Bing Zhixie shook his head: "Not for the time being." Then he added: "But don't worry." As he said that, he looked at Shi thoughtfully. Went in the direction of the pavilion.
Kun was full of doubts, but he didn’t know why. Even though no problem had been solved, he felt much more at ease.
Bing Zhixie and Kun returned to the stone pavilion and made a fire for the night. They ate some wild fruits and let Pegasus graze nearby, then fell asleep leaning against the stone pillars of the stone pavilion.
In the middle of the night, the nearby Pegasus neighed several times from time to time. After a while, the neighing of the Pegasus became more and more frequent, making people unable to fall asleep. Kun woke up with a start and found that Bing Zhixie had woken up. She ran to Pegasus and looked around again, but found nothing. She couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Bing Zhixie frowned and said: "I don't know, it is very restless."
Kun knew that these Pegasus were very alert, and immediately took the sword in his hand: "It must have felt something."
Bing Zhixie said: "There is indeed an unknown aura permeating the air. This feeling was not obvious during the day. Now... I can feel that the source of danger is here." His perception ability has become increasingly strong. With his keenness, he could sense that there was a cold evil atmosphere in the air that penetrated into the bone marrow.
The cool and humid air, the sound of gurgling water, the low hum of insects, and the sound of trees. He stayed like this for a while, but the danger did not come. Everything was as usual. The bad feeling was always pervasive. The Pegasus was still so restless and wanted to leave here. But it didn't leave, it seemed to be waiting for Bing Zhixie to make a decision.
It's dawn, and the stinging coldness in the air gradually fades away. Bing Zhixie knew that this atmosphere had not disappeared, it was just temporarily unfeelable and diluted by other atmospheres.
After a bad night's sleep, Bing Zhixie washed his face with water and stood at the entrance of the stone pavilion: "There must be something hidden here. We have to find it out."
"What is hidden? Hey, you Where to go..." Kun raised his head and shouted. Bing Zhixie flew straight into the sky, not very high because there was pressure from above, but it was enough. He was hanging in mid-air, looking down at the area, staring at the criss-crossing water channels like a maze. He thought about it carefully last night. The only thing worth noting here, and one that was easily overlooked, was the ditch here. To be precise, the direction of the ditch here and the direction of the water flow.
Yesterday he also noticed the direction of the water flow in the ditch, but he did not pay attention to the source of the water flow. He also looked for the source of the water flow, but could not find it. He only thought it was the confluence on the mountain here. down. But the sound of running water in the quiet night last night caught his attention again.
The water channels on the ground are very complicated and messy. After looking carefully for a long time, I still can’t find where the water source comes from. He fell back to the ground, picked a bright red rhododendron from nearby and threw it into the ditch: "Kun, come here, let's follow the flower."
The water in the canal carries flowers beautifully in the winding ditch, and it gradually swims from the center of the circular area to the edge. Soon the flowers flowed into a patch of grass on the mountainside and disappeared. Looking over, it turns out that there is an underground channel at the end of the open channel, which leads the water back into the mountain. However, it was covered by vegetation and it was difficult to find it for a while.
"What's the use of finding the mountain pass where the water flows?" Kun asked curiously.
“I don’t know.” Bing Zhixie looked at both sides and walked in one direction along the ditch outside the circle. After walking for about tens of meters, another culvert was discovered, but this culvert was a water inlet. After walking a long way forward, an underdrain appeared again, and the mouth of the water outlet. After a few dozen meters, there was another mouth of the water outlet.
After this circle, Bing Zhixie discovered three inlet canals and three outlet canals, which led the water out of the mountain, flowed through the ancient city ruins, and finally led it back into the mountain. It is indeed quite interesting that ancient people fetched water to survive in such an environment.
Suddenly, Bing Zhixie smiled lightly: "Interesting."
Kun didn't know why: "What's wrong with you?"
Bing Zhixie looked around at the water direction of each canal and said: "One water inlet, one water outlet, and the six water canals are located at six direction. However, each entrance and exit are adjacent to each other, and there are only a few dozen spaces between them. meters. So strictly speaking, the six water channels only come from three directions."
Kun, who grew up in the primitive tribe, couldn't understand at all: "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about it. Three'."
"Three?"
Bing Zhixie said to her: "What do you think these twists and turns of water channels on the ground look like?"
Kun asked back: "What do they look like?"
"You ride on a Pegasus and fly to the sky. Just take a look and you will know.”
Kun Yiyan rode on a Pegasus and flew into the air, looking carefully at the hundreds of water channels on the ground. She didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until her eyes became blurred that she suddenly realized: "Flowers! They are flowers." !”
