Chapter 111 Exploring the Sea and Watching the Southern Dragon (Part 2)
I saw clouds shrouding the sea from a distance, but when the boat got closer, I couldn't see anything. I guess it was the two mountains on the seabed that made the sea air change. This was because the clouds were thick in the sky, otherwise the sun would shine through. A mirage will appear. Look at the points pointed by the two Sitian secret weapons. This is almost the area where the yin fire is latent in the remaining veins of Nanlong.
The dragon veins in the world are south, north, and middle. Although the North Dragon and the Middle Dragon originating from Kunlun are stable and stable, with the appearance of being indomitable for all eternity, the Southern Dragon alone has the greatest power. However, the Southern Dragon's whereabouts are erratic, its kingly energy is insufficient, and its dragon veins are weak. It has a head and no tail. It rises from Mount Emei and flows eastward from the mountains of Haiyan in Zhejiang Province to the sea. It winds its way through the strait between Korea and Japan. I don’t know how it will end. It can be said that a dragon can show its head without appearing. At the end of the day, if you are not the most virtuous and holy person, you should never build a longevity cave in Nanlong. The coral spiral at the end of the South China Sea belongs to the branch of Nanlong. The situation is strange and rare in the world.
However, this is only a preliminary judgment, and further confirmation is needed before using the "diving bell" to enter the water for reconnaissance. I asked Uncle Ming to stop the boat, take out the white rice and oil prepared in advance, and pour them into the sea. I saw that the white rice did not sink and the oil did not float. It looked like a ruins area on the seabed. If there was a Yinhuo dragon lantern under the water, it should be here. I also measured the depth of the water and found that the ship was less than 70 meters away. I immediately lowered the plumb bob with a buoy to locate it.
Next, everyone immediately held a meeting on the deck to discuss the action plan. This sea area is almost the core of the coral spiral. So far, everything is going well, but the situation here is unknown. Can the sunken ship be found? As for the unknown, we have to be extra cautious from now on and make every step step by step. In order to avoid staying too long in the right and wrong place, we simply take advantage of the fact that the wind and waves are not strong and take action immediately. We will first go into the water to conduct reconnaissance and look for sunken ships and After mastering the location of Nanzhu, the terrain of the seabed can be deployed according to local conditions.
There are only two "diving bells" on the ship, each of which can accommodate one person. In the end, it was decided that Ruan Hei, the boss of the ship, and I would go into the water to conduct reconnaissance. Ruan Hei had been an egg farmer and had personally gone into the water to collect eggs, so he was quite familiar with it. Let him go into the water as my partner. The arrangement was completed. Fatty led Guchai and others to prepare the "diving bell" and check whether the equipment was reliable.
Before entering the water, Shirley Yang told me: "Although we entered the coral spiral, things went too smoothly, which made me uneasy. I heard Professor Chen say that the eye of the sea located in the coral spiral is the home of heaven and earth. Ruins, all the water in the world's rivers, lakes and seas will eventually return to the void in the eyes of the sea. The water flow will never end, but it will always be dissatisfied when returning to the ruins. This incident appears repeatedly in various ancient books and documents, and even the people who run boats are also confused. Most people know that there is such an eye in the sea, but if you look around for thousands of miles, there is no huge eye vortex on the sea. Of course, Guixu is a legend after all. I hope I am worrying too much, but after you get into the water, you still have to Be careful and don’t act rashly.”
I nodded in agreement. Anyway, the "diving bell" was extremely strong. If something unexpected happened on the bottom of the sea, it would at least ensure that the reconnaissance personnel escaped unscathed. With strong curiosity, I was eager to dive to see the situation on the bottom of the sea, and told Shirley Yang. After a few words, he hurriedly got into the "diving bell" prepared by Fatty and others.
The copper "diving bell" is completely sealed, with a diving depth of 55 meters underwater. It is surrounded by observation windows and is equipped with a special underwater strong light lighting device "Poseidon's Dazzle". A communication tube called a diving phone can communicate with the commander on the deck. Although there is a ventilation tube connected to the air pump on the ship, we still carry oxygen bottles in the copper cabin in case of accidents.
After I got ready in the cabin, I made a signal to the people on the deck, and the "diving bell" began to sink slowly. I didn't feel anything bad on the sea, but after I was inside the bell and sank to the bottom of the sea, , I immediately felt an uncontrollable strong sense of depression, and a fear of being isolated from the world arose in my heart. I tried my best to focus on observing the window, trying to distract from this uneasiness and anxiety that was difficult to get rid of.
Although the depth of the dive was only more than fifty meters, the process seemed extremely long. While looking at the seawater outside the window, I secretly counted the sounds of gas being discharged at intervals from the exhaust valve in the copper cabin. At the fifteenth count, the diving bell was finally put to the end. In a cloudy daytime environment, the visibility on the seabed was at a medium to low level, but below twenty meters it became darker and darker, and the impurity particles in the seawater increased, reducing visibility. Falling straight down, there were lighting equipment inside and outside the copper cabin. I first found the diving bell where the ship’s boss, Ruan Hei, was, and raised my thumb to him, indicating that everything was normal here. Ruan Hei also responded in the same way.
We then used the "Poseidon Dazzle" lighting to conduct reconnaissance of the underwater terrain, and then fed back what we saw through the diving phone. This mysterious water area, which is said to be haunted by ghosts, slowly revealed its true nature under the light. The appearance of the seabed is tens of meters deep. It is full of dense undersea forests. Surrounded by mountains, there is a deep trench-like trench between the undulating terrain. Weird vortices emerge one after another from the seawater inside. , even if you shine a searchlight on it, you can't see the bottom. There seems to be something black in the depths, but you can't see what it is, and no fish in the sea dare to approach.
Among the corals at the edge of the deep stream, there are many iron trees. One of them, an underwater iron tree dozens of meters high, is extremely unusual. Its entire body is translucent, like a tortoiseshell. Tortoiseshell is also called a poisonous turtle and has a main armor on its back. The pieces overlap like tiles, and are light yellow and slightly black with black spots. Its outer shell can be cooked and softened after processing, making various valuable decorations. The color and shape of the big tree on the seabed are very similar to imbricated tiles. There were hawksbill turtles, and the trees were covered with old snails and giant clams, the smallest of which was as big as a millstone. When the clam shells opened and closed slightly, there seemed to be moonlight flashing, attracting aquatic animals in the sea to rush around.
I swallowed my saliva and thought that there were indeed eggs on the bottom of the sea. It seemed like my trip was worthwhile. However, I didn’t see the wreckage of the Mary Sennu shipwreck nearby. Let alone this sunken ship, the entire bottom of the sea could be seen. Wherever I arrived, there were no traces of other sunken ships. I guessed that if the legendary shipwreck cemetery really existed, the only possibility would be in the abyss in the coral forest. If the Mary Sennu sank into it, once more than two hundred Meter depth, it is impossible to salvage it based on our ability.
