The Dream Master

After the agreement was reached, Shen Luo gave the horses to Yu Bold and his wife to take care of them, and he swung towards the river with the boat on his own.

When he set off, Yu Bold had not forgotten and gave a careful reminder. For fear that he might have an accident, Shen Luo naturally did not dare to neglect it. He noted in detail the conditions of each river section and the matters needing attention.

The woman even added clean drinking water to the boat, and brought out a few pancakes and some dried meat from the house, wrapped them in burlap, and she insisted on sinking to eat on the boat.

Shen Luo's hospitality was difficult, so he smiled and accepted the package.

The Wu Peng small boat drifted down the turbulent river, sinking and standing on the bow, holding the penny in his hand, but not supporting the boat, but probing the reef in the water on both sides of the boat one by one.

Soon, the small boat bypassed the clumps of tall reeds and entered a reed swamp.

According to Yu Baobao, this section of the river is the most turbulent section of the river with ridges and rivers. The speed of the boat is not too fast when it enters the water, but the speed increases as it goes downstream, and it sinks. I had to start using Penny to get to the bottom to slow down the boat.

It's just that he is in the hands of the fact of punting, and there is nothing in the calm water. In this kind of rapids, even though he has concentrated on it, he still inevitably bumps into it.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The boat swayed east to west, constantly hitting the reef under the river surface, shocking the mallard geese flying by the reeds on both sides, and the water birds soaring into the sky.

When encountering some big vortexes and submerged reefs, he had to do his best to push the boat away, otherwise once he got involved, he might overwhelm the boat if he was a little careless.

Shen Luo was so tired that he was sweating, and his eyes were staring, but under the pressure of the water, he couldn't allow him to rest, so he could only clenched his teeth.

Along the way, he paid special attention to the river banks on both sides, observing whether there was any narrowing of the river course. However, due to the high and dense reeds in the river, his vision was affected and he could not see clearly, so he could only change according to the water potential as much as possible. judgment.

After all, where the river is narrowed, the water flow speeds up.

The sinking has been drifting for seven or eight miles without encountering the rocky beaches along the way, but there are quite a few riverbanks.

His boat plunged head-on into two narrow sandbars.

The sandbanks were all overgrown with blue reeds, like a natural waterway. As soon as the boat entered it, the speed suddenly accelerated and rushed out.

With a muffled sound, the boat shook violently when it rushed out of the reeds.

The sinking figure staggered and almost fell from the bow.

He supported the penny, stabilized his figure, and looked forward, and saw that in front of the bow, he had hit a rocky beach with a radius of several tens of meters. Fortunately, the wood of the boat was solid, but it was not damaged. .

Unlike the sandbars seen along the way, the rocky beach was full of fist-sized gray pebbles and sand, and where it collided with the bow of the ship, there was a brown reef much larger than the other rocks.

Not only was this rock grotesquely long, it was only two feet high above the water, and more of it was hidden underwater.

By coincidence, the bow of the ship was stuck in a groove of this strange rock, but fortunately it was not damaged.

Shen Luo looked towards the banks of the rivers on both sides for a moment, and found that the rivers on both sides reached here, obviously narrowed a lot, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The narrowing of the river, the rocky beach, and the underwater river reef, it looks like it should be here." Shen Luo murmured.

According to Yu Yan, their ancestors found the nameless book of heaven under a rocky beach, and now this place is very consistent.

I thought I needed a lot of searching, but I didn't expect it and didn't spend much effort.

Sinking threw the Penny on the rocky beach, bent over and tied the rope tied to the bow of the ship to the reef, and pulled it hard to make sure that the ship would not float away with the water, and then sat down in the cabin. , Fell backward.

He was already exhausted just now, and he was exhausted. At this moment, let alone go down the river to find a book of heaven, the strength to jump off the bow was gone.

Shen Luo rested for a long time, and after eating some dry food, he finally took a breath and stood up again.

He took out a bundle of thumb-thin hemp rope from the cabin, tied one end firmly to the river reef, and tied the other end twice around his waist before jumping off the boat and coming to the rocky beach. on.

The shape of the rocky beach is similar to an ellipse, consistent with the direction of the water flow. It is long and narrow from east to west, and slightly narrower from north to south. The reef stands at the west end of the rocky beach, standing next to the rock, and looking into the river.

I saw the river water was dark, with a faint smell of mud, white waves were glowing on the rocky beach nearby, and whirlpools of various sizes floated on the surface of the river in the distance, and there was no way to see the conditions under the water.

He settled for a moment, leaned out one foot, and walked carefully into the water.

As a result, the rocks on the edge of the water were loose, and suddenly they slipped downwards as soon as the force was applied.

Shen Luo suddenly stepped on the air with a "puff" and fell into the river.

The river here was quite deep. He was buried in the water, and was rushed by the rushing water. He hit the boulder directly with his back, couldn't help but choke a few mouthfuls and mixed. Muddy river water.

Panicked, he hurriedly turned around, grabbed the huge boulder in his hand, climbed up, and put his head out of the water, took a sharp breath, and then coughed violently.

"Ahem..."

After sinking for a while, he was relieved, and he reached out his hand and wiped the river water on his face, feeling a little frightened in his heart.

"This place is really dangerous, but if it weren't for this, the nameless heavenly book would not be here for such a long time, and no one would find it." Shen Luo thought so, and his desire for the nameless heavenly book grew stronger.

This time, he took a deep breath, pinched his nose, and sank under the water abruptly, holding the huge boulder behind him with one hand, and probing into the water bit by bit.

After entering the water, he slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the water in the river was a bit muddy, and he couldn't see too much at all, and he couldn't see too far. He could only rely on the assistance of the reef to touch the bottom of the river as much as possible.

What surprised him was that the river bed was quite deep, and when he stepped on the sand at the bottom of the river, the breath he was holding was no longer enough.

He resisted the feeling of suffocation, and tried his best to stare at the bottom of the river under the rocky beach. In the dimness, he saw that there seemed to be some mud caves in which the depth was not visible, and he couldn't really see it. The hand fumbled over.

It was only a short while, and the long hold of breath made him dizzy and his chest was dull, so he could only help the piece to climb up a little bit and return to the water.

Shen Shuo sucked in air, his chest undulating violently.

When his breath calmed down a bit, he plunged into the water again and sank toward the bottom of the river.

This time, in order to try to stay at the bottom of the river for a while, he was sinking much faster. Once he reached the bottom of the river, he immediately fumbled under the water.

It's just that the bottom of the water is dim, and there is mud and sand, and the eyes can do little to help, and the sinking can only be like a headless fly.

After a while, his breath was exhausted, and he could only return again.

After a little recovery, he hurriedly plunged into the river bottom and fumbled around under the rocky beach.

After a few back and forth, when sinking and floating on the surface for breathing, the whole person was tired and cold, and his lips were a little bit blue.

Holding the reef, he slightly raised his head and looked towards the sky to the west, and found that the sun had already begun to slope westward.

"try again……"

Shen Luo's eyes condensed, and he took another breath, and his whole body sank again and dived towards the bottom of the river.

He has almost touched the mud caves and caves under the river reef. He walked around the stones and swam toward the south side of the rocky beach, touching the inside with his palms against the riverbed.

This time, when his right hand squeezed through a small hole to go inside, his fingertips suddenly touched something very different from a stone.
