Ghost Blowing Lantern II

As the water level in Guixu dropped, the ruins of a submerged ancient city emerged from the water in the distance. The city rose against the mountain. Thousands of years seemed to have failed to completely destroy it. Looking at it from a distance, its general pattern still remains. When we got down, behind the city were streaks of yellow and reddish smoke floating on the sea level. Shirley Yang and I watched the remains of the stone pillars for a long time. We both felt that the underground sea was strange and strange, and the path ahead was unpredictable.

I thought to myself that what was sucked into Guixu by the eye of the sea were the remains of buildings on the sea surface, and the entire ancient city would never be sunk in, unless it was built here itself, so I casually said to Shirley Yang: "What happened to Hentian Ancient City?" Will it be under Haiyan? This place is really hidden, if there are no traitors to lead the way, even the Japanese might not be able to find it."

Shirley Yang Xiumei frowned slightly, looking at the ancient city on the sea as if thoughtfully: "When I was a child, I heard an old captain tell the legend of a giant whale swallowing the city. Since then, the people in the ancient city have lived in the belly of the whale, but you see The terrain in Guixu is like the belly of a whale. The wonders of the creation of heaven and earth are truly unimaginable. According to ancient books, as soon as you enter Guixu, you will see walruses gathering and dispersing with the wind, just like a boat sailing and a whale buried in the underworld, with its rudder lost. Although this description is not completely accurate, it is like being in the chaotic sea of ​​​​emptiness, and it is somewhat consistent with what ancient geographers said."

After listening to what Shirley Yang said, I realized that the terrain here was indeed like being in the belly of a giant whale, and in the ruins in the sea, there might be secrets that the ancients used to illuminate tortoises. I forgot about the boat for a moment. It had been damaged and was trapped in the vast sea. Instead, I wanted to go and find out. However, I also vaguely knew in my heart that doing so was very inappropriate. There were several sea eyes of uneven sizes in the strata above my head. The high heat contained in the yin fire, The violently rotating hot winds generated in these caves on the seabed are like geothermal gushes, blocking the fall of the sea water. However, once the condensed sea air forms a climate, the sea caves will again draw a large amount of sea water into the Guixu below. We cannot judge this. How long is the interval between these phenomena? It may be one or two days, or one or two months. In short, sea caves are like time bombs hanging in the sky. Once the sea water leaks, we will be "human or fish". , the top priority right now is to find a relatively safe area to rest for a while, and then consider the next move.

Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by a commotion on the boat. Fatty, Uncle Ming and others had also just seen the wonders that appeared on the Guixu sea. After being stunned for a moment, Uncle Ming said that the backpack containing the Nanzhu was everyone's property. How could you let a rough man like Fatty take your life? As he said that, he stretched out his hand to take it back and take care of it himself. The fat man raised his arm, making a gesture to slap Uncle Ming. Uncle Ming was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore. Seeing that he had such authority, the fat man couldn't help but feel proud, and he carried the backpack carelessly. He turned around and directed Gu Chai and Duo Ling to carry the injured ship boss Ruan Hei aboard and prepare to abandon the lifeboat on the ship.

At this time, due to the water receding in Guixu, the Trident, whose hull was seriously damaged, leaked and ran aground on a gray boulder relief. There was no fear of being buried under the water for the time being. However, the hull tilted sideways, which affected the movement of everyone on board. There was a lot of inconvenience. Guchai and Duoling first moved Ruan Hei to the ruins of the stone slab under the boat, and then worked with Uncle Ming to drag the rubber life raft into the water. Fatty moved various emergency equipment to the boat one by one. .

While transporting a set of scuba tanks, the fat man just landed on the stone slab. However, the stone wall had been soaked in sea water for a long time and was covered with many reef-building organisms and reef-loving organisms. After stepping firmly, he immediately fell on his back. The lid of the backpack on his shoulders was scratched open by a broken stone citron, and a few beads inside slid down into the water. The bright lights were so dazzling that the fat man quickly got up and went into the water. Go pick it up.

The ruins in the water collapsed and piled up irregularly. The gaps formed by the huge bronze statues and sunken ships were like countless criss-crossing ravines. The fat man saw that there were no signs of sharks swimming in the water nearby, so he went down into the waist-deep water to touch them off. The southern pearl fell on a stone. The southern pearl illuminated for a hundred steps and turned off and on. It was not difficult to find it if it fell in shallow water. But I could see it clearly from the stone pillar in the distance. I saw that the fat man had just picked up the pearl. Water splashed more than ten meters in front of him, revealing the back of a dark black fish the size of the Eight Immortals' table. The fish's spine stood upright like a sword, and it headed towards the fat man.

I didn’t know what kind of evil fish appeared in the water, so I hurriedly shouted to the fat man to be careful. There was something in the water. Guchai, Duo Ling and others on the boat also saw it at the same time and shouted: "Sea monster! Sea monster!" He picked up the fishing gun and shot at the surface of the water. Where the fishing arrows landed, they had no effect on the thick skin scales of the underwater fish, but only slightly blocked the rising momentum. The fat man saw that something was not good, and held the south Rolling and crawling, he jumped out of the water and returned to the ruins behind him.

The dark fish spine on the water surface swam closer half a step too late, and suddenly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared. When we saw the fat man escaped, we all breathed a sigh of relief. The fat man touched his buttocks and was still there, saying to himself He didn't take the danger he had just faced seriously and stuffed Nanzhu back into his backpack. He learned a lesson this time and tied the buckle on the backpack into a tight knot.

Shirley Yang raised her voice with her hands to remind people on the boat not to let down their guard, and then turned around and asked me: "Lao Hu, did you see clearly what the sea monster was in the water just now?"

Seeing her solemn expression, I didn't dare to talk nonsense. Just now, the evil fish was a little farther away, and only its black back was exposed. I really couldn't tell what kind of evil beast it was in the sea, but looking at its size, maybe Not a large shark? But how come a shark's vertebral fins are so wide?

Shirley Yang said: "There is a kind of orca in the ice sea. It is very ferocious and cruel. It can not only hunt agile dolphins underwater, but also break through the ice from the bottom of the sea and bite people or seals on the ice. There is a similar kind in the South China Sea. The bald whale salamander is smaller than the killer whale. It has a wide mouth, a black back and a flat belly. It is also good at hurting people when it comes out of the water. It can jump out of the sea directly and drag sailors on the ship into the water, and compete with the orca. The whale is the eponymous butcher of the sea, also known as the killer whale salamander. I see that the back of the evil fish just now looks very much like a deep-water killer whale salamander. If there is such a sea monster in the water, it would be too much for us to ride on a lifeboat. It's very dangerous to be close to the water."

We hurriedly told Fatty, Uncle Ming and others to stay as far away from the water as possible to prevent whale salamanders from coming out of the water and injuring people. Fatty and others had already lowered the lifeboat, and the injured boat boss Ruan Hei was also carried to the side of the boat and was ready to move everything. He abandoned the boat and started pedaling. Seeing that the situation had changed, he had no choice but to lift the wounded away again to avoid getting too close to the water and being attacked by sea monsters.
