Chapter 645 The Flood of Jinshan Temple
"Da da da da da-"
The archaeological team did not dare to stop for even a moment.
Even if the desolate village behind them turns into a sea of fire!
After running several hundred meters further, they finally escaped the deserted village. What came into view was a slope nearly a hundred meters high. The slope was somewhat steep, but a person could climb it.
Got here.
Qin An and Gu Yang also put down Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei from their backs. After resting, the two middle-aged and elderly people had recovered a lot of strength.
Although the slope is somewhat steep.
But if you grit your teeth, you can still climb up!
"Hurry up! The water's coming!" Qin An led the way, scouting ahead while turning back to warn the others of the impending danger.
water?
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat!
Could it be that Brother Qin An was referring to the water in the lake outside that was about to overflow?
The more I think about it, the more likely it is.
The archaeological team finally understood why Qin An burned the cloth figures and why he led them away without daring to linger for even a moment.
“Brother Qin’an…isn’t the lake surface very calm? And this deserted village is nestled in the rocky cliffs beside the lake! If the lake water were to overflow, how could the descendants of Chi You have built a village here?”
Xie Wenjing majored in geological surveying.
From the current point of view.
She didn't think the water from that lake would overflow into this area.
Hear this.
Qin An paused in his climbing motion!
Xie Wenjing thought Qin An was a little angry... After all, judging from their previous interactions, Qin An didn't like anyone objecting to his decisions.
Think of this.
Xie Wenjing instinctively wanted to apologize.
However, Qin An's tone remained calm throughout. "From a geological survey perspective... it's indeed impossible for the water in that lake to spread to this deserted village. But from a feng shui perspective, the tomb of Chi You can be seen as a person, and Chi You is about to awaken."
"The first thing a person does when they wake up is to open their eyes. In the context of an ancient tomb, the first thing to move is water, which is the dragon eye."
Qin An didn't know how to explain it to Xie Wenjing.
After all, it was only when he used the Tracing Light to examine the memories of the Thousand-Faced Fox that he discovered that Chi You had awakened 5400 years later.
Qin An calculated the timeline himself using the period after the Battle of Zhuolu!
Discovered...until today.
It's exactly the 5400th year!
In other words.
Chi You might wake up in the next few days!
That is, as Qin An just said, the first thing a person does upon waking up is to open their eyes. The dragon eye in Chi You's tomb is that lake, and the water in that lake will move sooner or later.
Qin An wasn't sure if now was the right time.
Let's just run first and think about the consequences later!
What if it's now?
Upon hearing Qin An's words, the members of the archaeological team, who were unfamiliar with feng shui, didn't quite understand, but they still caught the key words.
Chi You is about to awaken!
Think of this.
Xie Wenjing didn't say anything more.
He hurriedly used all his strength to follow Qin An up the slope. Just then, the fire in the deserted village had reached its climax.
All the wooden houses were set on fire!
The flames were making far more than just crackling sounds.
It was so loud it was like thunder!
All of a sudden.
The fire is soaring!
Even the members of the archaeological team climbing the hillside felt as if it were dawn, and their bodies were warm.
But the more this happens.
The more the archaeologists looked back, the less they dared to look back.
Ever since Qin An mentioned that the lake water might flood into this deserted village, they have been living in fear.
If we don't climb to the top of the hill soon!
Once caught up with by the spreading lake water and plunged into the icy water, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would be frozen into ice sculptures. How could they dare to cherish the current warmth?
But what you fear most is what happens most often!
"Rumble--"
Everyone felt as if a bolt from the blue had struck behind them, and they turned around in shock to see the hill where they had first come down from the deserted village.
A hole with a radius of three or four meters was opened up halfway up the mountain!
"Crash-"
For a while.
The icy, greenish lake water gushed out of the cave, just like the Three Gorges Dam releasing water, and the current became faster and faster.
The cave entrance halfway up the mountain is also being continuously enlarged!
"Boom boom boom——"
The sound of the flowing water gradually became more powerful.
At first glance!
It was as if it were ringing in my ears.
"Climb quickly!"
Hu Jizhou was the first to react. He quickly called on the archaeological team members above to climb up the slope before the lake water rose.
Hearing Hu Jizhou's shouts.
The rest of the archaeological team also gradually recovered from their shock!
Their faces turned deathly pale.
Using both hands and feet, they began to climb faster towards the top of the slope.
"Chi chi chi——"
The gushing lake water poured onto the burning wooden house, and the white steam that had just begun to rise was submerged by the subsequent torrent of water.
It only took less than two minutes.
The bottom of the deserted village was already filled with water up to ankle-deep, and the water level was still gradually rising.
Not only that!
As the cave entrance halfway up the mountain was gradually enlarged!
The rate at which the water level is rising continues to accelerate!
"Boom boom boom——"
I heard the powerful roar of the water!
Yang Lele couldn't help but turn around and look.
This is quite something!
Only three to five minutes had passed.
The water level had already submerged the houses, leaving only the tallest palace standing out. But that was all; moments later, even the tallest palace was completely submerged by the lake.
Look from afar.
There was nothing on the water!
Only some pieces of wood that had not yet completely burned were floating on the surface of the water.
This place... has now become a new lake.
I saw the desolate village behind me.
The members of the archaeological team dared not linger for even a moment!
Even the two professors, Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei, didn't complain of being tired. Instead, they kept their heads down and climbed upwards, their adrenaline surge making them unaware of fatigue.
Only when you reach the top of the slope.
The side effects will gradually become apparent.
"Gululu——"
The lake level rose higher and higher, and some fist-sized bubbles rose to the surface, as if something dirty was churning up underneath.
at last!
Just as they were about to be overtaken by the rising lake water.
The archaeological team climbed to the top of the hill!
They desperately wanted to collapse on the ground and rest... but reason told them that the crisis was not over yet, and the water level of the lake was still slowly rising.
"No way! We've already climbed to the top! How come the water level in this lake is still rising? Is this really not being controlled by someone? Are they going to keep going until we drown?!"
Yang Lele almost burst into a tirade.
He was terrified that he wouldn't be able to use his sharp tongue to spew insults after he died!
