Yin Yang Fu Mo Lu

Chapter 218 Yuwang Waterway
Zhang Tianci was worried that the female ghost would suddenly rush out, and to nip it in the bud, he hurriedly pushed the magic mirror in his hand forward.

But the ghost screams suddenly stopped, and the tunnel became quiet again.

"I was scared to death, I thought the female ghost would rush out..." Wen Qian said with a sigh of relief.

Zhang Tianci smiled slightly and said without looking back, "Why, a Taoist chivalrous girl is also afraid of ghosts?"

Wen Qian was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I was not afraid at first. I thought I was successful in Taoism and could deal with all monsters and ghosts. But that night, in the tunnel of Wuxinguan, I saw that vicious ghost baby, and I saw... After my master died tragically in front of me, I realized that in the world of ghosts and gods, I was just getting started..."

When talking about the sad past, Wen Qian spoke in a low tone and looked sad.

"You're not that unbearable, it's just that your sect doesn't have any powerful magic weapons... I took care of the ghost baby and relied on the power of the magic mirror. In short, it's always good to be careful." Zhang Tianci hurriedly comforted Wen Qian moved her feet at the same time and continued to move forward.

Wen Qian also put away her sad thoughts and paid attention to what was going on around her.

The curve ahead looks more like a stone gate.

The stone gate is not high, and you can easily touch the door with your hand, but it is very wide, always about two feet.Judging from this shape, it looks like a flood gate.

Just as she entered the door, Wen Qian fumbled with the cave wall a few times, and suddenly said: "Stop, there seems to be a pattern engraved here..."

Zhang Tianci hurriedly stopped and looked at the cave wall where Wen Qian was groping.

The wall of the cave, near the door, where Wen Qian was groping, was about a person's height.

Wen Qian took out the handkerchief from her pocket and used it as a rag to wipe it hard on the cave wall. Sure enough, a blurry pattern was revealed.But if you look closely, it's not a pattern, but more like ancient writing.

This kind of writing is round and round, like a turtle shell.The words are bent with the pen, as if several earthworms are squirming.

Zhang Tianci turned on the flashlight and looked at it for a long time, then shook his head and said, "The handwriting is complete, but I can't recognize it."

"Aren't you a major in ancient Chinese? Why don't you recognize ancient characters?" Wen Qian was a little disappointed.

Zhang Tianci smiled bitterly and said: "But this character is too ancient, which really stumps me. To be honest, I can barely recognize the oracle bone inscriptions, including the ancient characters of other ethnic groups in China. I can make do with it. But the characters in front of me are really I don’t recognize it, but judging from the age, it should be before the Shang Dynasty. I suspect... it’s the legendary Xia seal script.”

"Xia Zhuan?"

"Yes, it's the writings of Dayu's flood control period, but there are only some speculative records for this kind of writing. There is no definite evidence in China, only some suspected rubbings." Zhang Tianci continued to grope and check on the stone wall, suddenly bent down, and said: "There are still words here!"

Wen Qian came to see it in a hurry, and used the rag to clean up the moss on the stone wall.

Zhang Tianci's newly discovered text is located two feet below the text Wen Qian discovered, and is in a straight line with the first word.

While Wen Qian wiped away the moss, Zhang Tianci suddenly said: "I recognize this character, it's the character for 王!"

"King? What king? Is it really the tomb of a prince?" Wen Qian talked about the ancient tomb again.

Zhang Tianci did not speak, but took two steps back and looked at these two words repeatedly.

After a while, Zhang Tianci turned around and pointed to the door opposite: "There must be some words over here, let's take a look!"

Wen Qian reacted, stretched out her hand to fumble here, and said, "Yes, there are words in the corresponding positions, one above and one below."

After wiping off the moss on it, there were indeed two characters, corresponding to the two characters on the other side.

"I seem to know what this is..." Zhang Tianci looked very excited and kept fumbling around with the carvings.

"What do you know?" Wen Qian asked impatiently.

Zhang Tianci took a few steps back, pointed at these four words, and read them word by word: "King Yu's Waterway!"

"What is King Yu's water channel?" Wen Qian looked confused.

"Dayu controlled the floods, you know?" Zhang Tianci stared at the stone gate and said:
"Yu's flood control lasted 13 years, and the project was huge. The water conservancy works he built were not only on the ground, but also underground. The underground projects were even bigger, because King Yu used underground rivers to connect the nine states of China. King Yu I have only heard of water channels in legends, but I never expected that they really exist..."

"Is it impossible for underground waterways to communicate with Kyushu?" Wen Qian was shocked.

Zhang Tianci, however, pointed with his hand and said, "If I guessed correctly, this tunnel will go all the way north to the Yangtze River. In history, there has been an incident where the Yangtze River suddenly stopped flowing, and that was when the river water suddenly leaked into the underground. In Wangshuidao."

"The Yangtze River is cut off... This is really unimaginable." Wen Qian seemed to have heard a fantasy.

Zhang Tianci waved his hand and said: "We will study the matter of King Yu's waterway later. Now let's move forward and find what we are looking for."

Wen Qian nodded, followed Zhang Tianci, and carefully crossed the stone gate.

After passing the stone gate, the front is even more spacious, just like an underground palace.

Zhang Tianci looked around, but saw no female ghost or any trace of Phoenix Gut.

Wen Qian looked back at the stone door and shouted, "There is a charm inside the door."

Zhang Tianci hurriedly turned around and saw blood symbols all around the door frame.

"I recognize this talisman. It is a horoscope-locking soul talisman, which is similar to the method of sealing. The talisman is made from the blood of the deceased, and incorporates the horoscope information of the deceased's birthday. It is used to seal the soul of the deceased. It is very evil."

Zhang Tianci only glanced at it, and said: "It must be Long Xingyuan's masterpiece. If you guessed correctly, there is the same spell in front of it. He killed a woman and locked his soul here to act as an obstacle to stop the Outsiders come in here."

"So, the female ghost is locked in a certain section of the Yuwang Waterway?" Wen Qian asked.

Before Zhang Tianci had time to answer, he saw a ghost coming from the depths of the tunnel like lightning, shouting!

The whole body of the ghost was bright red, and it seemed that it was still dripping blood. Its image was very terrifying.

"Wen Qian, be careful!" Zhang Tianci hurriedly protected Wen Qian, pushing the magic mirror forward in his hand.

There was a soft pop sound, and the ghost shadow hit the magic mirror.

"Ah..." The female ghost screamed and quickly backed away.

"Ouch..." Zhang Tianci and Wen Qian also shouted at the same time, fell to the ground together, and fell together.

The impact of the female ghost was like a heavy flying hammer, knocking down both Zhang Tianci and Wen Qian.

Zhang Tianci was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and he felt his whole body shaking, his blood boiling in his chest, and he almost couldn't hold the magic mirror.

And Wen Qian was behind Zhang Tianci. When she fell to the ground, she was pressed by Zhang Tianci's back on her chest. She was in unspeakable pain and screamed in pain.
