Why did the sound of water suddenly disappear?

I couldn't help rubbing my ears, almost thinking that I was hallucinating.

Majestic yet soft, could it be that the mute moved something?
This is unbelievable, how can one person change Jiang He?I immediately took out the flashlight, and ran to the riverside to look at the river in a few steps.The range of the flashlight is not too far, but even so, through the dim halo, I can still see that the huge waves that churned during the day have calmed down at this moment. As a result, the sound of rumbling water has been weakened a lot.

Why did the river suddenly become like this?

I remembered the strangeness of the mute, and immediately returned to the fire, suppressing the shock in my heart, and said, "What's going on?"

The mute sat cross-legged, his body was covered with a layer of water vapor, his black hair was extremely wet, and beside the campfire, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist.He didn't answer my words, but just looked up at the sky, following his gaze, I looked up subconsciously, and suddenly saw a bright moon in the sky, and then I remembered that today happened to be the night of the full moon every month, and I couldn't help feeling As soon as I moved, my heart said: Could it be that the river water here is also affected by the tide?
Just like the water of the Qiantang River, it is calm and calm on weekdays, but in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it will form a rare spectacle, which is affected by the tide of the bright moon.It seems that the mute must have known the situation here in advance, so he is so confident.

The rest of the people were still sleeping soundly. I sat by the fire with the mute, but I couldn't say a word after a thousand words in my heart. After about half an hour, even the faint sound of the water disappeared.At this moment, the mute got up suddenly, and in the darkness, he fired a shot in the void. The sound of the gun pierced the night, and the bird fluttered in fright. What happened.But at this time, the mute raised his chin slightly, and said coldly, "Action."

Xiao Yu and the others were probably scolding their mothers in their hearts, how could they wake people up like that.But the mute had to listen, so they all put on their clothes and put away the tents. They didn't realize the abnormality until halfway through the work, and they all wondered why the sound of the rumbling water disappeared.

While I was packing up my things, while talking about the tide, Heizi was stunned, looked at the mute in shock, and said, "He is so powerful." There was a look of admiration in his eyes.I said, "It's powerful, but you'd better not provoke him. He's even more powerful when he kills people." Heizi shrank his neck when he heard that, and his expression showed a bit of weirdness and anxiety.It seems that he has discovered the difference between himself and us, and he has doubts in his heart.

After thinking about it, I asked, "How did you and Lu Su meet? Why is he willing to bring you to work?"

Heizi trusted me more, thought for a while, and was about to speak, but before he could elaborate, the rest of the people had already packed their equipment and were ready to leave.No way, this matter had to be suppressed, so I patted Heizi on the shoulder, indicating to tell me next time when I have time.

Immediately afterwards, everyone brought their equipment, pushed the raft into the water, and began to swim upstream.

Now the river level is calm, and even the water level has dropped a little. It is not difficult to drive the raft. Heizi and another man named Huo are good at steering the boat, so they will steer the pole. Prevent things like pythons from appearing again.

But this time the process of crossing the river was extremely smooth, with calm waters all the way. Our raft turned around the bend and moved forward. It is only four or five meters wide, and there is a big river sandwiched between the two banks. The river rushes in from the gap of four or five meters, like a sluice flood discharge, and its momentum can be imagined.Fortunately, due to the influence of the tide at this moment, the level is calm, otherwise it would be absolutely insurmountable during the day.

Only then did I realize that the tidal pull does not exist every night, if it happens once a month, it means that the 'gate' of the entire tomb of King Juer will only open once a month at night.It seemed that both Lu Su and the dumb would choose to fight at this point, and there was a reason for that.

Lu Su has the information on the silk book USB flash drive in his hand, so it is understandable to know some key points, but how did the mute know?What did Mr. Bai tell him?
So how did Sanye Bai know the terrain of King Juer's tomb?
The previous guess emerged more clearly, and I am almost sure that perhaps this third master Bai is probably the descendant of Fei Dao Bai Lao Si, because only Bai Lao Si has successfully entered the tomb of King Ju Er, except for his Future generations, who can know so clearly?
While thinking, I observed the surrounding environment, and soon passed the mouth of the pot. After the raft rushed out of the mouth of the pot, the current became fierce. We abandoned the raft and landed. Looking at the time, it was already early morning It's more than five o'clock, and soon after dawn, you can see the surrounding environment clearly.

We settled on the bank of the river, and instead of pitching a tent, we sat around a bonfire and waited for the dawn.

After about an hour or so, the high mountains in the distance finally saw the shadow of the sun.It was a towering snow mountain, I don't know its name, it was bare, with sharp edges and corners, and it was impossible to climb at all, like a big axe.

Until then, we passed through three bends and finally passed the first gate of the tomb of Juer King. Facing the rising morning sun, we saw snow-capped mountains in the distance, which were insurmountable. Squat, unless you are driving a helicopter, you really have to pay a lot of money to get here with manpower.

But soon, even the idea of ​​a helicopter was rejected by me, because I found that our watches and compass were all in confusion, apparently due to interference from the magnetic field. I was afraid that the helicopter would only crash if it arrived at this place. Son.

The mute didn't sleep all night, but he was full of energy. He immediately led the team forward along the river bank, looking for something, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't explain it to us. For a while, everyone followed behind in confusion .

Bai Zhanji obviously likes Lu Su's partner more, and now he walks last all the way, and Fatty Li follows when he is tired.I followed closely beside the mute, wanting to see what tricks he was up to. After walking for about an hour, the mute suddenly stopped.

I saw a stream in front of us. The stream flowed out from the mountain on the left and slowly merged into the Nu River. The dumb man looked up along the stream, as if he was talking to me, or talking to himself. He said, "It's here."

I looked at this stream, it is ordinary, but in the mountains, there are many such streams, what is so strange?
Had the mute been looking for it?

Immediately afterwards, the mute said, "Follow it."

Feng Guishou asked: "Could it be possible to find the tomb of King Juer by following it?" The mute didn't admit it, nor denied it, and his attitude was a bit ambiguous.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling confused, but still followed.

I noticed that the mute's footsteps were obviously quickened, and his gaze became colder and firmer. Others may not be able to see it, but I clearly felt his emotional changes.

He was a little excited.

What is the reason?
This stream is winding, we follow it all the way upstream, with the mountain, it is sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, sometimes rushing, sometimes gentle, the water quality is clear, flowing slowly among the green hills, can you see When swimming fish and crabs, occasionally the trees move in the mountains, and the shadows of some animals flash past, making people feel as if they have arrived in a paradise, and they forget the customs.

This walk lasted all morning, and the mute walked in front all night without any sleep. His mental and physical strength was a bit too good.At about noon, the mute suddenly stopped and stared straight ahead.

I followed his line of sight, and there was nothing in front of him, only a few large irregularly shaped stones stood upright in the west, eroded by water vapor, and the stones were covered with blue moss.

What is he looking at?
I checked the front carefully again, but still didn't find anything abnormal. I couldn't help but waved my hand in front of his eyes and said, "What are you looking at?" After pressing it, he immediately moved towards those big rocks.

The rest of us looked at each other, and finally could only look at each other with wry smiles.Dumb is like this, he doesn't take anyone seriously, and he never bothers to explain to others when doing things. He does his own way, and most of the time, there is only one requirement for his subordinates and teammates: obey orders.

At this time, the mute walked to one of the big rocks, and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he pulled out his dagger and began to pick the moss growing on the rock.

My heart moved, and I immediately understood, I'm afraid there is another mystery on this stone.

Immediately, I also followed, took out the dagger and scratched together. After a while, we removed the whole big stone, but the dumb eyes were even colder.He took a sip, pointed to a few big rocks around him, and said, "Continue."

The rest of the people started working immediately after receiving the order, only to hear the constant cracking sound, which was the sound of the dagger rubbing against the surface of the stone.The green moss was shaved off in pieces by us, and some parasites were crawling on some moss, and they fled for their lives with our destruction.

About 20 minutes later, the surrounding big rocks were cleaned bare by us, but the mute shook his head. His expression did not change, but I could see that he was a little disappointed.

What on earth is the dumb looking for?
